  • the pull-out device is designed for storing food on different levels.
  • the food can be placed directly on this pull-out device itself.
  • the pull-out device has a lower, first food storage unit, which is arranged on a first level, viewed in the height direction of the pull-out device.

  • the pull-out device also has a coupling device with which the movements of the food storage units can be coupled. in the In the motion-coupled state, the food storage units can be pulled out together in the pull-out direction.
  • the pull-out device has a handle element which is arranged on the second food storage unit. The handle element is coupled to the coupling device, the movement-coupled state of the food storage units being releasable as a function of an actuation of the handle element, in particular a defined release movement of the handle element.
  • the grip element is an additional component in this context, which can thus be easily handled by a user and is easily and safely accessible.
  • a handle element is therefore a multifunctional component.
  • the grip element it is possible to use the grip element to provide a means that a user can easily and safely grasp in order to be able to manually effect a manual movement of a food storage unit, in particular a displacement in the pull-out direction or against the pull-out direction.
  • the grip element can also cause the coupled state to be released by a release actuation.
  • the grip element is a grip strip.
  • a grip strip can provide an elongated beam-like component. This can be easily gripped and operated.
  • Such a grip strip can extend, for example, over at least 50 percent, in particular at least 70 percent, in particular at least 80 percent of the width of a food storage unit.
  • gripping at different positions in the width direction can be carried out safely and reliably and a corresponding actuation of the gripping element can be carried out to release the motion-coupled state.
  • the grip element as a grip strip in this way, it can also be constructed very compactly in the vertical direction so that it does not protrude undesirably upwards or downwards.
  • the accessibility to food on the food storage units is not restricted as a result.
  • the grip element as an elongated and thus also rail-like grip strip, a front protective element and / or a decorative element can also be formed. As a result of such a configuration, the grip element has additional further integrated functions.
  • the handle element is arranged on the second food storage unit.
  • the second grip element is thus preferably arranged in this second plane, so that it is also positioned in a very space-saving manner in this context.
  • the handle element is arranged on the second food storage unit so as to be relatively movable. As a result, a release actuation and thus a relative movement of the handle element to that food storage unit can take place clearly and completely on which the handle element is also arranged. As a result, an actual release movement can also be easily and comprehensively reproduced, so that a user can also perform the release actuation quickly and completely.
  • the handle element is arranged on a front edge of a food storage unit. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment, since the grip element is thus in an exposed position on the front side, as a result of which it is easily and extensively accessible.
  • the grip element can be pivoted about a pivot axis, which is oriented in the width direction of the pull-out device and is oriented perpendicular to the pull-out direction, in order to release the coupled state of the food storage units.
  • a pivot axis which is oriented in the width direction of the pull-out device and is oriented perpendicular to the pull-out direction, in order to release the coupled state of the food storage units.
  • the second food storage unit is arranged higher than the first food storage unit.
  • the second level is thus formed above the first level.
  • the two food storage units are arranged at a distance from one another. This distance is preferably dimensioned in such a way that food can be placed on the lower food storage unit, which is formed in particular by the first food storage unit, even when the two food storage units viewed in the depth direction of the pull-out device, through which the Extension direction is specified, are arranged at least partially overlapping.
  • the distance in the vertical direction between these two food storage units is greater than the thickness of a beverage bottle.
  • At least one food storage unit for storing bottles is preferably designed on a top side.
  • Beverage bottles, in particular wine bottles, can preferably be stored here.
  • the pull-out device is in particular a bottle storage pull-out device, in particular a wine bottle storage pull-out device.
  • At least one upper side of at least one food storage unit has receptacles, in particular depressions and / or openings, which are explicitly designed as bottle storage areas.
  • Bottles can be placed non-slip or roll-proof on the top of a food storage unit.
  • Such a storage area can be channel-like.
  • a food storage unit is designed as a grid or as a bar structure, so that between two bars or bars at least depressions, in particular complete openings, are formed so that a bottle can be placed in this area and is positioned so that it cannot slip and roll.
  • the first food storage unit is a storage plate and / or the second food storage unit is a storage plate.
  • a bearing plate is understood to be a full-surface configuration of a solid, board-like or shelf-like component.
  • a bearing plate is also understood to mean, for example, a grating or a bracing frame or a framework frame.
  • At least one food storage unit can also be designed, for example, as a tray or tub-like container.
  • the food storage unit thus has a significantly greater height than a storage plate, which is essentially only defined by its thickness in the height direction and therefore has a relatively low height.
  • the food storage units in the decoupled state can be displaced independently of one another against the pull-out direction. This then also means that, in particular after decoupling, which takes place by the corresponding actuation of the handle element, the upper, second, food storage unit can be pushed in independently of the lower, first, food storage unit. The first food storage unit can then also be pushed in counter to this pull-out direction, in particular subsequently after the upper food storage unit has been pushed in, and brought into its pushed-in end state.
  • a first stop of the coupling device is formed on the first food storage unit.
  • a coupling element of the coupling device which is separate from the stop and which is arranged on the second food storage unit protrudes into it and can be coupled to the stop.
  • this first stop and this coupling element are at least partially overlapping so that when pulling out, in particular the first food storage unit, the first stop automatically contacts the coupling element in the pull-out direction and thus couples it with it, so that from this coupled state, both food storage units are coupled in terms of movement and both food storage units are pulled out at the same time as they are pulled out further in the pull-out direction.
  • the coupling element is pivotably arranged on the second food storage unit.
  • Such a configuration enables the coupling element to move relative to the first stop. This is particularly advantageous for decoupling via the handle element. There is therefore no linear movement of the coupling element, but rather a simple rotation of the coupling element out of the path of movement through this pivoting movement.
  • a pivot axis about which the coupling element is pivotable is oriented perpendicular to the pull-out direction, in particular oriented in the width direction of the pull-out device.
  • the pivot function is blocked in a basic position of the grip element. This prevents the above-mentioned advantageous coupling between the stop and the coupling element from being undesirably moved away from the path of movement during the pull-out movement of the first food storage unit and thus the coupled state being undesirably released again. It is preferably provided that this blocking of the pivoting function by the grip element in its basic position takes place by a spring force of a spring element.
  • This spring element can also be present as a separate component, but can also be designed to be integrated in the grip element or the coupling element. This can be done, for example, by a material Design of the grip element and / or the coupling element take place so that a sub-element of the grip element or the coupling element is formed elastically resilient.
  • a second stop is formed on the first food storage unit, which is in particular formed at a distance from the first stop and separate from the first stop.
  • the second stop is arranged in the path of movement of the second food storage unit, so that when the second food storage unit is pulled out in the pull-out direction, the second food storage unit strikes the second stop and when the second food storage unit is pulled out further in the pull-out direction, the first food storage unit Storage unit with is extendable.
  • this coupling of the food storage units via the second stop is also always decoupled, because after the end of the pull-out a movement against the pull-out direction can also take place without an explicit release, in particular a release via the handle element.
  • this coupling via the second stop is therefore not a locked coupling that would explicitly have to be released again by a release actuation in order to be able to push in the second food storage unit alone against the pull-out direction.
  • this second stop is an upwardly projecting stop, which is designed in particular as a ramp which, with its vertical flank, forms the stop flank.
  • first stop and the second stop are arranged offset from one another, the first stop being arranged further to the rear than the second stop.
  • the pull-out device has a front wall which is connected to the lower, in particular first, food storage unit.
  • this front wall is designed and arranged in such a way that, when viewed from the front, both food storage units are covered by this front wall.
  • the pull-out device is designed as a drawer, so that the front wall that is preferably present is a front wall of the drawer. It is thus provided in this embodiment that the second food storage unit is arranged, as it were, as a displaceable unit in this drawer. If the drawer is closed, the food storage units are not accessible from the front. If the pull-out device is actuated starting from a pushed-in state, in this context, in particular, practically only the front wall can be gripped and pulled out, so that with such a configuration the lower, in particular first, food storage unit is then automatically pulled out in the pull-out direction and from one certain extension length, the coupling with the upper, in particular the second, food storage unit is coupled in terms of movement via the coupling device.
  • the coupling element viewed in the width direction of the pull-out device, is arranged without overlapping to the second stop, so that the coupling element and the second stop are always coupled with a relative movement of the food storage units in the pull-out direction or against the pull-out direction and thus with a pull-out or push-in is avoided.
  • the two stops are formed in one piece on a carrier part, in particular the one-piece carrier part is formed as an L-shaped angle.
  • Such a configuration means that the stops are arranged in a positionally secure and mechanically stable manner.
  • they can be fastened to the food storage unit in a stable manner by the carrier part, in particular they can be arranged on an upper edge of such a food storage unit.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Auszugsvorrichtung für ein Haushaltskältegerät. Die Auszugsvorrichtung ist zum Lagern von Lebensmitteln auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen ausgebildet. Die Auszugsvorrichtung weist dazu eine untere, erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit auf, die auf einer ersten Ebene angeordnet ist. Diese erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit ist in eine Auszugsrichtung verschiebbar gelagert. Die Auszugsvorrichtung weist eine dazu separate obere, zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit auf, die auf einer zur ersten Ebene unterschiedlichen zweiten Ebene angeordnet ist und in die Auszugsrichtung verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Auszugsvorrichtung weist eine Koppeleinrichtung auf, mit welcher die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten in ihren Bewegungen koppelbar sind und im bewegungsgekoppelten Zustand gemeinsam in der Auszugsrichtung ausziehbar sind. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung auch ein Haushaltskältegerät mit einer derartigen Auszugsvorrichtung.The invention relates to a pull-out device for a household refrigerator. The pull-out device is designed for storing food on different levels. For this purpose, the pull-out device has a lower, first food storage unit which is arranged on a first level. This first food storage unit is mounted displaceably in a pull-out direction. The pull-out device has a separate upper, second food storage unit which is arranged on a second level different from the first level and is mounted displaceably in the pull-out direction. The pull-out device has a coupling device with which the movements of the food storage units can be coupled and, in the movement-coupled state, can be pulled out together in the pull-out direction. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a household refrigerator with such a pull-out device.

Derartige Auszugsvorrichtungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. So zeigt beispielsweise die US 2006/0218958 A1 eine Auszugsvorrichtung, die als Schublade ausgebildet ist und zum Lagern von Flaschen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen vorgesehen ist. Eine untere Auflageplatte für derartige Flaschen ist mit einer Frontwand der Schublade fest verbunden und mit dieser ausziehbar. Eine in Höhenrichtung darüber angeordnete weitere Platte zum Lagern von Flaschen ist mit einer Koppeleinrichtung mit dieser unteren Platte verbunden. Bei einem Ausziehvorgang in Auszugsrichtung werden diese auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen ausgebildeten Platten über unterschiedliche Auszugslängen ausgezogen, sodass die jeweils darauf positionierten Flaschen in beiden Ebenen zugänglich sind. Die dortige Koppeleinrichtung ist jedoch komplex ausgebildet, sodass ein Koppeln und Entkoppeln komplexen Abläufen unterliegt, sodass hier auch eine gewisse Fehleranfälligkeit auftreten kann.Such pull-out devices are known from the prior art. For example, the US 2006/0218958 A1 a pull-out device, which is designed as a drawer and is provided for storing bottles on different levels. A lower support plate for such bottles is firmly connected to a front wall of the drawer and can be pulled out with it. A further plate arranged above this in the vertical direction for storing bottles is connected to this lower plate by means of a coupling device. During a pull-out process in the pull-out direction, these plates, which are formed on different levels, are pulled out over different pull-out lengths so that the bottles positioned on them are accessible in both levels. The coupling device there is, however, designed to be complex, so that coupling and decoupling is subject to complex processes, so that a certain susceptibility to errors can also occur here.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Auszugsvorrichtung für ein Haushaltskältegerät und ein Haushaltskältegerät zu schaffen, bei welchem das Entkoppeln der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten einfach und sicher erfolgen kann.The object of the present invention is to create a pull-out device for a household refrigeration appliance and a household refrigeration appliance in which the food storage units can be decoupled easily and safely.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Auszugsvorrichtung und ein Haushaltskältegerät gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch 1 gelöst. Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen offenbart.This object is achieved by a pull-out device and a household refrigerator according to independent claim 1. Further embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims.

Ein Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Auszugsvorrichtung für ein Haushaltskältegerät. Die Auszugsvorrichtung ist zum Lagern von Lebensmitteln auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen ausgebildet. Die Lebensmittel können direkt auf dieser Auszugsvorrichtung selbst aufgebracht werden. Die Auszugsvorrichtung weist eine untere, erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit auf, die auf einer ersten Ebene, in Höhenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung betrachtet, angeordnet ist. Die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit ist in einer Auszugsrichtung, die senkrecht zu dieser Höhenrichtung orientiert ist, verschiebbar gelagert. Lebensmittel können direkt auf dieser Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit aufgebracht beziehungsweise eingebracht werden. Die Auszugsvorrichtung weist eine zur ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit separate obere, zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit auf, die auf einer zur ersten Ebene unterschiedlichen zweiten Ebene angeordnet ist. Auch auf dieser zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit können Lebensmittel direkt aufgebracht werden. Die Auszugsvorrichtung weist darüber hinaus eine Koppeleinrichtung auf, mit welcher die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten in ihren Bewegungen koppelbar sind. Im bewegungsgekoppelten Zustand sind die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten gemeinsam in der Auszugsrichtung ausziehbar. Die Auszugsvorrichtung weist ein Griffelement auf, welches an der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet ist. Das Griffelement ist mit der Koppeleinrichtung gekoppelt, wobei abhängig von einer Betätigung des Griffelements, insbesondere einer definierten Lösebewegung des Griffelements, der bewegungsgekoppelte Zustand der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten lösbar ist. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung ist das Entkoppeln der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten einfach und sicher ermöglicht. Das Griffelement ist ein in dem Zusammenhang zusätzliches Bauteil, welches von einem Nutzer somit einfach handhabbar ist und einfach und sicher zugänglich ist. Durch die Betätigung des Griffelements kann ein sicheres und zuverlässiges Lösen des gekoppelten Zustands der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten ermöglicht werden. Ein Griffelement ist somit ein multifunktionelles Bauteil. Einerseits ist es möglich, mit dem Griffelement ein Mittel bereitzustellen, das ein Nutzer einfach und sicher greifen kann, um eine manuelle Bewegung einer Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit, insbesondere ein Verschieben in die Auszugsrichtung oder entgegen der Auszugsrichtung, manuell bewirken zu können. Andererseits kann das Griffelement durch eine Lösebetätigung auch das Lösen des gekoppelten Zustands bewirken.One aspect of the invention relates to a pull-out device for a household refrigerator. The pull-out device is designed for storing food on different levels. The food can be placed directly on this pull-out device itself. The pull-out device has a lower, first food storage unit, which is arranged on a first level, viewed in the height direction of the pull-out device. The first food storage unit is mounted displaceably in a pull-out direction which is oriented perpendicular to this height direction. Food can be placed or brought in directly on this food storage unit. The pull-out device has an upper, second food storage unit which is separate from the first food storage unit and which is arranged on a second level which is different from the first level. Food can also be placed directly on this second food storage unit. The pull-out device also has a coupling device with which the movements of the food storage units can be coupled. in the In the motion-coupled state, the food storage units can be pulled out together in the pull-out direction. The pull-out device has a handle element which is arranged on the second food storage unit. The handle element is coupled to the coupling device, the movement-coupled state of the food storage units being releasable as a function of an actuation of the handle element, in particular a defined release movement of the handle element. Such a configuration enables the food storage units to be decoupled easily and safely. The grip element is an additional component in this context, which can thus be easily handled by a user and is easily and safely accessible. By actuating the grip element, a safe and reliable release of the coupled state of the food storage units can be made possible. A handle element is therefore a multifunctional component. On the one hand, it is possible to use the grip element to provide a means that a user can easily and safely grasp in order to be able to manually effect a manual movement of a food storage unit, in particular a displacement in the pull-out direction or against the pull-out direction. On the other hand, the grip element can also cause the coupled state to be released by a release actuation.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist vorgesehen, dass das Griffelement eine Griffleiste ist. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann ein längliches balkenartiges Bauteil bereitgestellt werden. Dieses kann einfach gegriffen und betätigt werden. Eine derartige Griffleiste kann sich beispielsweise über zumindest 50 Prozent, insbesondere zumindest 70 Prozent, insbesondere zumindest 80 Prozent der Breite einer Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit erstrecken. Dadurch kann das Greifen an unterschiedlichen Positionen in Breitenrichtung sicher und zuverlässig erfolgen und ein entsprechendes Betätigen des Griffelements zum Lösen des bewegungsgekoppelten Zustands durchgeführt werden. Darüber hinaus kann durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung des Griffelements als Griffleiste diese auch in Höhenrichtung sehr kompakt aufgebaut werden, sodass sie nicht unerwünscht nach oben oder nach unten übersteht. Die Zugänglichkeit zu Lebensmitteln auf den Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten ist dadurch nicht eingeschränkt. Darüber hinaus kann durch eine Ausgestaltung des Griffelements als längliche und somit auch schienenartige Griffleiste zusätzlich ein frontseitiges Schutzelement und/oder ein Dekorelement gebildet sein. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung weist das Griffelement zusätzliche weitere integrierte Funktionen auf.It is advantageously provided that the grip element is a grip strip. Such a configuration can provide an elongated beam-like component. This can be easily gripped and operated. Such a grip strip can extend, for example, over at least 50 percent, in particular at least 70 percent, in particular at least 80 percent of the width of a food storage unit. As a result, gripping at different positions in the width direction can be carried out safely and reliably and a corresponding actuation of the gripping element can be carried out to release the motion-coupled state. In addition, by designing the grip element as a grip strip in this way, it can also be constructed very compactly in the vertical direction so that it does not protrude undesirably upwards or downwards. The accessibility to food on the food storage units is not restricted as a result. In addition, by designing the grip element as an elongated and thus also rail-like grip strip, a front protective element and / or a decorative element can also be formed. As a result of such a configuration, the grip element has additional further integrated functions.

Es ist vorgesehen, dass das Griffelement an der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet ist. Das zweite Griffelement ist somit vorzugsweise in dieser zweiten Ebene angeordnet, sodass es auch in dem Zusammenhang sehr platzsparend positioniert ist.It is provided that the handle element is arranged on the second food storage unit. The second grip element is thus preferably arranged in this second plane, so that it is also positioned in a very space-saving manner in this context.

Das Griffelement ist relativ bewegbar an der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet. Dadurch kann eine Lösebetätigung und somit eine Relativbewegung des Griffelements zu derjenigen Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit eindeutig und vollständig erfolgen, an welcher das Griffelement auch angeordnet ist. Dadurch kann eine tatsächliche Lösebewegung auch einfach und umfänglich nachvollzogen werden, sodass ein Nutzer die Lösebetätigung auch schnell und vollständig durchführen kann.The handle element is arranged on the second food storage unit so as to be relatively movable. As a result, a release actuation and thus a relative movement of the handle element to that food storage unit can take place clearly and completely on which the handle element is also arranged. As a result, an actual release movement can also be easily and comprehensively reproduced, so that a user can also perform the release actuation quickly and completely.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das Griffelement an einem vorderen Rand einer Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet ist. Dies ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführung, da sich somit das Griffelement in frontseitiger exponierter Position befindet, wodurch es einfach und umfänglich zugänglich ist.It is preferably provided that the handle element is arranged on a front edge of a food storage unit. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment, since the grip element is thus in an exposed position on the front side, as a result of which it is easily and extensively accessible.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das Griffelement um eine Schwenkachse, die in Breitenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung orientiert ist und senkrecht zur Auszugsrichtung orientiert ist, zum Lösen des gekoppelten Zustands der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten schwenkbar ist. Gerade eine derartige Betätigungsbewegung ist für einen Nutzer einfach und sehr intuitiv durchführbar, sodass das Lösen auch schnell und nutzerfreundlich erfolgen kann.It is preferably provided that the grip element can be pivoted about a pivot axis, which is oriented in the width direction of the pull-out device and is oriented perpendicular to the pull-out direction, in order to release the coupled state of the food storage units. Such an actuation movement in particular can be carried out easily and very intuitively for a user, so that the release can also take place quickly and in a user-friendly manner.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass in Höhenrichtung betrachtet die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit höher liegend angeordnet ist als die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit. Erfindungsgemäß ist somit die zweite Ebene über der ersten Ebene ausgebildet. In Höhenrichtung betrachtet sind die beiden Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten beabstandet zueinander angeordnet. Dieser Abstand bemisst sich vorzugsweise derart, dass Lebensmittel auf der unteren Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit, die insbesondere durch die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit gebildet ist, eingebracht werden können, auch dann, wenn die beiden Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten in Tiefenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung betrachtet, durch welche auch die Auszugsrichtung vorgegeben wird, zumindest bereichsweise überlappend angeordnet sind. Insbesondere ist der Abstand in Höhenrichtung zwischen diesen beiden Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten größer als eine Dicke einer Getränkeflasche.According to the invention it is provided that, viewed in the vertical direction, the second food storage unit is arranged higher than the first food storage unit. According to the invention, the second level is thus formed above the first level. Viewed in the vertical direction, the two food storage units are arranged at a distance from one another. This distance is preferably dimensioned in such a way that food can be placed on the lower food storage unit, which is formed in particular by the first food storage unit, even when the two food storage units viewed in the depth direction of the pull-out device, through which the Extension direction is specified, are arranged at least partially overlapping. In particular, the distance in the vertical direction between these two food storage units is greater than the thickness of a beverage bottle.

Vorzugsweise ist zumindest eine Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit zum Lagern von Flaschen auf einer Oberseite ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise können hier Getränkeflaschen, insbesondere Weinflaschen, gelagert werden. Die Auszugsvorrichtung ist in dem Zusammenhang dann insbesondere eine Flaschenlager-Auszugsvorrichtung, insbesondere eine Weinflaschen-Lager-Auszugsvorrichtung.At least one food storage unit for storing bottles is preferably designed on a top side. Beverage bottles, in particular wine bottles, can preferably be stored here. In this context, the pull-out device is in particular a bottle storage pull-out device, in particular a wine bottle storage pull-out device.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest an einer Oberseite zumindest einer Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit Aufnahmen, insbesondere Mulden und/oder Durchbrechungen, ausgebildet sind, die explizit als Flaschenlagerbereiche gestaltet sind. Dadurch können Flaschen rutschsicher beziehungsweise rollsicher auf der Oberseite einer Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit aufgelegt werden. Ein derartiger Lagerbereich kann rinnenartig sein. Ebenso ist es möglich, dass eine Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit als Gitter oder als Sprossenstruktur ausgebildet ist, sodass zwischen zwei Gitterstäben oder Sprossenstäben zumindest Vertiefungen, insbesondere vollständige Durchbrechungen, ausgebildet sind, sodass sich eine Flasche in diesem Bereich auflegen lässt und rutschsicher und rollsicher positioniert ist.It is preferably provided that at least one upper side of at least one food storage unit has receptacles, in particular depressions and / or openings, which are explicitly designed as bottle storage areas. This allows Bottles can be placed non-slip or roll-proof on the top of a food storage unit. Such a storage area can be channel-like. It is also possible that a food storage unit is designed as a grid or as a bar structure, so that between two bars or bars at least depressions, in particular complete openings, are formed so that a bottle can be placed in this area and is positioned so that it cannot slip and roll.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit eine Lagerplatte ist und/oder die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit eine Lagerplatte ist. Als Lagerplatte ist in dem Zusammenhang sowohl eine vollflächige Ausgestaltung eines massiven, brettoder regalartigen Bauteils verstanden. Ebenso wird unter einer Lagerplatte jedoch auch beispielsweise ein Gitterrost oder ein Verstrebungsgerüst beziehungsweise ein Fachwerkgerüst verstanden.It is preferably provided that the first food storage unit is a storage plate and / or the second food storage unit is a storage plate. In this context, a bearing plate is understood to be a full-surface configuration of a solid, board-like or shelf-like component. Likewise, however, a bearing plate is also understood to mean, for example, a grating or a bracing frame or a framework frame.

Alternativ kann zumindest eine Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit beispielsweise jedoch auch als Schale oder wannenartiger Behälter ausgebildet sein.Alternatively, however, at least one food storage unit can also be designed, for example, as a tray or tub-like container.

Bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung weist die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit somit eine deutlich größere Höhe auf als eine Lagerplatte, die im Wesentlichen nur durch ihre Dicke in Höhenrichtung definiert ist und daher eine relativ geringe Höhe aufweist.In such a configuration, the food storage unit thus has a significantly greater height than a storage plate, which is essentially only defined by its thickness in the height direction and therefore has a relatively low height.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten im entkoppelten Zustand unabhängig voneinander entgegen der Auszugsrichtung verschiebbar sind. Dies bedeutet dann auch, dass insbesondere nach dem Entkoppeln, welches durch das entsprechende Betätigen des Griffelements erfolgt, die obere, zweite, Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit unabhängig von der unteren, ersten, Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit eingeschoben werden kann. Auch die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit kann dann entgegen dieser Auszugsrichtung insbesondere nachfolgend nach dem Einschieben der oberen Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit eingeschoben werden und in ihren eingeschobenen Endzustand gebracht werden.In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the food storage units in the decoupled state can be displaced independently of one another against the pull-out direction. This then also means that, in particular after decoupling, which takes place by the corresponding actuation of the handle element, the upper, second, food storage unit can be pushed in independently of the lower, first, food storage unit. The first food storage unit can then also be pushed in counter to this pull-out direction, in particular subsequently after the upper food storage unit has been pushed in, and brought into its pushed-in end state.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass an der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit ein erster Anschlag der Koppeleinrichtung ausgebildet ist. In dessen Bewegungsbahn beim Ausziehen der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit in Auszugsrichtung ist ein zum Anschlag separates Koppelelement der Koppeleinrichtung, welches an der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet ist, hinein ragend und mit dem Anschlag koppelbar. Dies bedeutet, dass in Breitenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung betrachtet dieser erste Anschlag und dieses Koppelelement zumindest bereichsweise überlappend angeordnet sind, sodass beim Herausziehen, insbesondere der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit, in Auszugsrichtung der erste Anschlag automatisch das Koppelelement kontaktiert und somit mit diesem koppelt, sodass ab diesem gekoppelten Zustand beide Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten bewegungsgekoppelt sind und beim weiteren Ausziehen in Auszugsrichtung beide Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten gleichlaufend ausgezogen werden. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung ermöglicht ein sehr einfaches Koppelkonzept, welches mechanisch stabil und robust ausgebildet ist und sicher die Kopplung ermöglicht, andererseits sehr platzsparend ausgebildet ist.It is preferably provided that a first stop of the coupling device is formed on the first food storage unit. In its trajectory at When the first food storage unit is pulled out in the pull-out direction, a coupling element of the coupling device which is separate from the stop and which is arranged on the second food storage unit protrudes into it and can be coupled to the stop. This means that, viewed in the width direction of the pull-out device, this first stop and this coupling element are at least partially overlapping so that when pulling out, in particular the first food storage unit, the first stop automatically contacts the coupling element in the pull-out direction and thus couples it with it, so that from this coupled state, both food storage units are coupled in terms of movement and both food storage units are pulled out at the same time as they are pulled out further in the pull-out direction. Such a configuration enables a very simple coupling concept, which is mechanically stable and robust and reliably enables the coupling, on the other hand is very space-saving.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass das Koppelelement schwenkbar an der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet ist. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung lässt sich eine Relativbewegung des Koppelelements zum ersten Anschlag erreichen. Dies ist insbesondere für das Entkoppeln über das Griffelement vorteilhaft. Es ist somit keine lineare Bewegung des Koppelelements zu vollziehen, sondern durch diese Schwenkbewegung ein einfaches Wegrotieren des Koppelelements aus der Bewegungsbahn. Insbesondere ist eine Schwenkachse, um welche das Koppelelement schwenkbar ist, senkrecht zur Auszugsrichtung orientiert, insbesondere in Breitenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung orientiert.In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the coupling element is pivotably arranged on the second food storage unit. Such a configuration enables the coupling element to move relative to the first stop. This is particularly advantageous for decoupling via the handle element. There is therefore no linear movement of the coupling element, but rather a simple rotation of the coupling element out of the path of movement through this pivoting movement. In particular, a pivot axis about which the coupling element is pivotable is oriented perpendicular to the pull-out direction, in particular oriented in the width direction of the pull-out device.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist vorgesehen, dass die Schwenkfunktion in einer Grundposition des Griffelements gesperrt ist. Dadurch ist verhindert, dass beim oben genannten vorteilhaften Koppeln zwischen dem Anschlag und dem Koppelelement bei der Ausziehbewegung der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit das Koppelelement unerwünscht aus der Bewegungsbahn weg bewegt werden würde und somit der gekoppelte Zustand unerwünscht wieder gelöst wäre. Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass dieses Sperren der Schwenkfunktion durch das Griffelement in deren Grundposition durch eine Federkraft eines Federelements erfolgt. Dieses Federelement kann zusätzlich als separate Komponente vorhanden sein, kann jedoch auch integriert in dem Griffelement oder dem Koppelelement ausgebildet sein. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine materielle Ausgestaltung des Griffelements und/oder des Koppelelements erfolgen, sodass ein Teilelement des Griffelements oder des Koppelelements elastisch federnd gebildet ist.It is advantageously provided that the pivot function is blocked in a basic position of the grip element. This prevents the above-mentioned advantageous coupling between the stop and the coupling element from being undesirably moved away from the path of movement during the pull-out movement of the first food storage unit and thus the coupled state being undesirably released again. It is preferably provided that this blocking of the pivoting function by the grip element in its basic position takes place by a spring force of a spring element. This spring element can also be present as a separate component, but can also be designed to be integrated in the grip element or the coupling element. This can be done, for example, by a material Design of the grip element and / or the coupling element take place so that a sub-element of the grip element or the coupling element is formed elastically resilient.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass an der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit ein zweiter Anschlag ausgebildet ist, der insbesondere beabstandet zu dem ersten Anschlag und separat zu dem ersten Anschlag ausgebildet ist. Der zweite Anschlag ist in der Bewegungsbahn der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet, sodass bei einem Ausziehen der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit in Auszugsrichtung die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit an dem zweiten Anschlag anschlägt und bei weiterem Ausziehen der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit in Auszugsrichtung die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit mit ausziehbar ist. Durch ein derartiges Konzept ist es somit ermöglicht, dass unabhängig davon, welche der beiden Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten von einem Nutzer gegriffen und direkt manuell ausgezogen werden, die andere Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit zumindest ab einer gewissen erreichten Auszugsstellung automatisch mit ausgezogen wird. Diese Kopplung der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten über den zweiten Anschlag ist jedoch auch stets entkoppelt, denn nach dem Beenden des Ausziehens kann eine Bewegung entgegen der Auszugsrichtung auch ohne ein explizites Lösen, insbesondere ein Lösen über das Griffelement, erfolgen. Insbesondere ist somit diese Kopplung über den zweiten Anschlag keine arretierte Kopplung, die explizit durch eine Lösebetätigung erst wieder gelöst werden müsste, um die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit alleine entgegen der Auszugsrichtung einschieben zu können. Insbesondere ist dieser zweite Anschlag ein nach oben ragender Anschlag, der insbesondere als Rampe ausgebildet ist, die mit ihrer Vertikalflanke die Anschlagsflanke bildet.It is preferably provided that a second stop is formed on the first food storage unit, which is in particular formed at a distance from the first stop and separate from the first stop. The second stop is arranged in the path of movement of the second food storage unit, so that when the second food storage unit is pulled out in the pull-out direction, the second food storage unit strikes the second stop and when the second food storage unit is pulled out further in the pull-out direction, the first food storage unit Storage unit with is extendable. Such a concept thus makes it possible that regardless of which of the two food storage units are gripped by a user and pulled out directly manually, the other food storage unit is automatically pulled out at least once a certain pulled-out position has been reached. However, this coupling of the food storage units via the second stop is also always decoupled, because after the end of the pull-out a movement against the pull-out direction can also take place without an explicit release, in particular a release via the handle element. In particular, this coupling via the second stop is therefore not a locked coupling that would explicitly have to be released again by a release actuation in order to be able to push in the second food storage unit alone against the pull-out direction. In particular, this second stop is an upwardly projecting stop, which is designed in particular as a ramp which, with its vertical flank, forms the stop flank.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der erste Anschlag und der zweite Anschlag in Tiefenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung betrachtet versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind, wobei der erste Anschlag weiter hinten angeordnet ist als der zweite Anschlag.It is preferably provided that the first stop and the second stop, viewed in the depth direction of the pull-out device, are arranged offset from one another, the first stop being arranged further to the rear than the second stop.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass die Auszugsvorrichtung eine Frontwand aufweist, die mit der unteren, insbesondere ersten, Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit verbunden ist. Insbesondere ist diese Frontwand derartig ausgestaltet und angeordnet, dass bei frontseitiger Betrachtung beide Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten durch diese Frontwand verdeckt sind.In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the pull-out device has a front wall which is connected to the lower, in particular first, food storage unit. In particular, this front wall is designed and arranged in such a way that, when viewed from the front, both food storage units are covered by this front wall.

Es ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass die Auszugsvorrichtung als Schublade ausgebildet ist, sodass die vorzugsweise vorhandene Frontwand eine Frontwand der Schublade ist. Es ist somit bei dieser Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit quasi als verschiebbare Einheit in dieser Schublade angeordnet ist. Ist die Schublade geschlossen, sind die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten frontseitig nicht zugänglich. Wird die Auszugsvorrichtung ausgehend von einem eingeschobenen Zustand betätigt, so kann in dem Zusammenhang insbesondere praktisch nur die Frontwand gegriffen werden und ausgezogen werden, sodass bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung dann automatisch immer die untere, insbesondere erste, Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit in Ausziehrichtung ausgezogen wird und ab einer bestimmten Auszuglänge die Kopplung mit der oberen, insbesondere zweiten, Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit über die Koppeleinrichtung bewegungsgekoppelt wird.It is provided in particular that the pull-out device is designed as a drawer, so that the front wall that is preferably present is a front wall of the drawer. It is thus provided in this embodiment that the second food storage unit is arranged, as it were, as a displaceable unit in this drawer. If the drawer is closed, the food storage units are not accessible from the front. If the pull-out device is actuated starting from a pushed-in state, in this context, in particular, practically only the front wall can be gripped and pulled out, so that with such a configuration the lower, in particular first, food storage unit is then automatically pulled out in the pull-out direction and from one certain extension length, the coupling with the upper, in particular the second, food storage unit is coupled in terms of movement via the coupling device.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das Koppelelement in Breitenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung betrachtet überlappungsfrei zu dem zweiten Anschlag angeordnet ist, sodass bei einer Relativbewegung der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten in Auszugsrichtung oder entgegen der Auszugsrichtung und somit bei einem Ausziehen oder Einschieben ein Koppeln des Koppelelements und des zweiten Anschlags stets vermieden ist.It is preferably provided that the coupling element, viewed in the width direction of the pull-out device, is arranged without overlapping to the second stop, so that the coupling element and the second stop are always coupled with a relative movement of the food storage units in the pull-out direction or against the pull-out direction and thus with a pull-out or push-in is avoided.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Anschläge an einem Trägerteil einstückig ausgebildet sind, insbesondere das einstückige Trägerteil als L-förmiger Winkel ausgebildet ist.It is preferably provided that the two stops are formed in one piece on a carrier part, in particular the one-piece carrier part is formed as an L-shaped angle.

Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung sind die Anschläge positionssicher und mechanisch stabil angeordnet. Darüber hinaus können sie durch das Trägerteil stabil an die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit befestigt werden, insbesondere an einem oberen Rand einer derartigen Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet sein.Such a configuration means that the stops are arranged in a positionally secure and mechanically stable manner. In addition, they can be fastened to the food storage unit in a stable manner by the carrier part, in particular they can be arranged on an upper edge of such a food storage unit.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltskältegerät mit einem Gehäuse, in dem zumindest ein Aufnahmeraum für Lebensmittel ausgebildet ist. Das Haushaltskältegerät weist eine Auszugsvorrichtung gemäß dem oben genannten Aspekt oder eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung davon auf. Die Auszugsvorrichtung ist in Tiefenrichtung des Haushaltskältegeräts verschiebbar in dem Aufnahmeraum angeordnet.Another aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigerator with a housing in which at least one receiving space for food is formed. The household refrigerator has a pull-out device according to the above aspect or an advantageous embodiment thereof. The pull-out device is arranged displaceably in the depth direction of the household refrigerator in the receiving space.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass die Auszugsvorrichtung Auszugsschienen, insbesondere Teleskopschienen, aufweisen kann. Diese Auszugsschienen ermöglichen den Auszug der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten in Auszugsrichtung. Die Auszugsschienen sind zu den Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten unterschiedliche Komponenten. Die Auszugsschienen können an den Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten angeordnet sein.In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the pull-out device can have pull-out rails, in particular telescopic rails. These pull-out rails enable the food storage units to be pulled out in the pull-out direction. The pull-out rails are different components from the food storage units. The pull-out rails can be arranged on the food storage units.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Auszugsvorrichtung für ein Haushaltskältegerät. Durch die Auszugsvorrichtung können Lebensmittel auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen gelagert werden. Eine Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit der Auszugsvorrichtung wird auf einer ersten Ebene angeordnet. Diese erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit kann in Auszugsrichtung verschoben werde und ist diesbezüglich entsprechend gelagert. Eine zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit der Auszugsvorrichtung ist auf einer zur ersten Ebene unterschiedlichen zweiten Ebene angeordnet, wobei die Auszugsvorrichtung eine Koppeleinrichtung aufweist, mit welcher die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten in ihren Bewegungen gekoppelt werden können. Im bewegungsgekoppelten Zustand können die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten gemeinsam in Auszugsrichtung ausgezogen werden. Ein bewegungsgekoppelter Zustand der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten wird durch eine Lösebewegung eines Griffelements, welche an einer Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit angeordnet ist und mit der Koppeleinrichtung gekoppelt ist, gelöst beziehungsweise entkoppelt.Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for operating a pull-out device for a household refrigerator. The pull-out device allows food to be stored on different levels. A food storage unit of the pull-out device is arranged on a first level. This first food storage unit can be moved in the pull-out direction and is stored accordingly in this regard. A second food storage unit of the pull-out device is arranged on a second level different from the first level, the pull-out device having a coupling device with which the movements of the food storage units can be coupled. In the motion-coupled state, the food storage units can be pulled out together in the pull-out direction. A motion-coupled state of the food storage units is released or decoupled by a release movement of a handle element which is arranged on a food storage unit and is coupled to the coupling device.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungen der oben genannten Auszugsvorrichtung sind als vorteilhafte Ausführungen des Verfahrens anzusehen, wobei dazu gegenständliche Komponenten der Auszugsvorrichtung allein oder in Wirkverbindung die jeweiligen Verfahrensschritte des Verfahrens ermöglichen beziehungsweise durchführen.Advantageous embodiments of the above-mentioned pull-out device are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the method, with objective components of the pull-out device alone or in operative connection enabling or carrying out the respective method steps of the method.

Vorzugsweise weist das Haushaltskältegerät einen Aufnahmeraum auf, der frontseitig durch zwei separate Türen verschließbar ist. Diese beiden separaten Türen sind in Breitenrichtung überlappungsfrei zueinander angeordnet und erstrecken sich im geschlossenen Zustand in einer Ebene, die durch die Höhenrichtung und die Breitenrichtung aufgespannt ist. Vorzugsweise weist das Haushaltskältegerät einen zweiten Aufnahmeraum auf, der zum Lagern von Lebensmitteln ausgebildet ist. Dieser zweite Aufnahmeraum kann zur Aufnahme der Auszugsvorrichtung ausgebildet sein.The household refrigerator preferably has a receiving space which can be closed at the front by two separate doors. These two separate doors are arranged in the width direction without overlapping one another and in the closed state extend in a plane that is spanned by the height direction and the width direction. The household refrigerator preferably has a second receiving space which is designed for storing food. This second receiving space can be designed to receive the pull-out device.

Insbesondere dann, wenn die Auszugsvorrichtung als Schublade ausgebildet ist, kann eine frontseitige Tür dieses weiteren Aufnahmeraums durch die Frontwand der Schublade gebildet sein. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass der zweite Aufnahmeraum in Höhenrichtung betrachtet unterhalb des ersten Aufnahmeraums ausgebildet ist.

Diese Tür kann eine Schwenktür sein, die um eine insbesondere in Höhenrichtung orientierte Achse schwenkbar ist. Ebenso kann diese Tür jedoch auch eine Frontwand einer in Tiefenrichtung linear verschiebbaren Schublade sein.In particular when the pull-out device is designed as a drawer, a front door of this further receiving space can be formed by the front wall of the drawer. It can be provided that the second receiving space, viewed in the height direction, is formed below the first receiving space. It can be provided that the first receiving space is a cooling compartment. The second receiving space can be designed for storing bottles.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Haushaltskältegerät 1 gezeigt, welches zum Lagern und Konservieren von Lebensmitteln ausgebildet ist. Das Haushaltskältegerät 1 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel ein Kühl-Gefrier-Kombigerät. Das Haushaltskältegerät 1 weist ein Gehäuse 2 auf, in dem mehrere separate Aufnahmeräume für Lebensmittel ausgebildet sind. In dem Zusammenhang ist ein erster Aufnahmeraum 3 ausgebildet, der im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel als Kühlfach ausgebildet ist. Darüber hinaus weist das Haushaltskältegerät 1 einen in Höhenrichtung (y-Richtung) darunter ausgebildeten Aufnahmeraum 4 auf, welcher beispielsweise ein Teilvolumen des Aufnahmeraums 3 darstellen kann. In dem Aufnahmeraum 4 können in einem Ausführungsbeispiel eine unterschiedliche Luftfeuchte und/oder eine unterschiedliche Temperatur zum darüber liegenden restlichen Teilvolumen des Aufnahmeraums 3 einstellbar sein. Es kann insbesondere auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Aufnahmeraum 4 als zum Aufnahmeraum 3 separater Aufnahmeraum ausgebildet ist. Dieser Aufnahmeraum kann auch beispielsweise ein Flaschenlagerraum sein, insbesondere für Weinflaschen.In Fig. 1 a household refrigerator 1 is shown, which is designed for storing and preserving food. The household refrigerator 1 is a combined refrigerator-freezer in the exemplary embodiment. The household refrigerator 1 has a housing 2 in which several separate receiving spaces for food are formed. In this context, a first receiving space 3 is formed, which in the present exemplary embodiment is designed as a cooling compartment. In addition, the domestic refrigeration appliance 1 has a receiving space 4 formed underneath in the height direction (y-direction), which, for example, can represent a partial volume of the receiving space 3. In one embodiment, a different air humidity and / or a different temperature can be set in the receiving space 4 in relation to the remaining partial volume of the receiving space 3 located above it. In particular, it can also be provided that the receiving space 4 is used as the receiving space 3 separate receiving space is formed. This receiving space can also be, for example, a bottle storage space, in particular for wine bottles.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass der Aufnahmeraum 3 durch mehrere separate, frontseitige angeordnete Türen verschließbar ist. Der Aufnahmeraum 4 ist in dem Zusammenhang mit einer Tür 5 verschließbar, die hier eine Frontwand einer in Tiefenrichtung (z-Richtung) linear verschiebbaren Schublade ist. Das restliche Teilvolumen des Aufnahmeraums 3 ist durch zwei weitere separate Türen 6 und 7 verschließbar, die um vertikale Achsen und somit in Höhenrichtung orientierte Achsen separat und unabhängig voneinander verschwenkbar sind. Durch diese Ausgestaltung kann einerseits das restliche Teilvolumen des Aufnahmeraums 3, welches nicht durch den Aufnahmeraum 4 gebildet ist, unabhängig von dem Aufnahmeraum 4 geöffnet und geschlossen werden, was durch entsprechendes Verschwenken der Türen 6 und/oder 7 erfolgt. Wiederum davon unabhängig kann dann der Aufnahmeraum 4 geöffnet werden, indem die Tür 5 geöffnet wird und somit die Schublade herausgezogen wird.In the exemplary embodiment it is provided that the receiving space 3 can be closed by a plurality of separate doors arranged on the front. The receiving space 4 can be closed in connection with a door 5, which here is a front wall of a drawer that is linearly displaceable in the depth direction (z-direction). The remaining partial volume of the receiving space 3 can be closed by two further separate doors 6 and 7, which can be pivoted separately and independently of one another about vertical axes and thus axes oriented in the height direction. With this configuration, on the one hand, the remaining partial volume of the receiving space 3, which is not formed by the receiving space 4, can be opened and closed independently of the receiving space 4, which is done by pivoting the doors 6 and / or 7 accordingly. Again independently of this, the receiving space 4 can then be opened by opening the door 5 and thus pulling out the drawer.

Das Haushaltskältegerät 1 weist im Ausführungsbeispiel darüber hinaus zwei weitere separate Aufnahmeräume 8 und 9 auf, die Gefrierfächer sind. Es kann auch lediglich nur ein Gefrierfach vorhanden sein oder keines der Gefrierfächer vorhanden sein.In the exemplary embodiment, the household refrigerator 1 also has two further separate receiving spaces 8 and 9, which are freezer compartments. There can also be only one freezer compartment or none of the freezer compartments.

Die beiden Gefrierfächer sind ebenfalls wiederum durch separate Türen 10 und 11 verschließbar, wobei auch hier im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel diese Türen 10 und 11 Frontwände von in Tiefenrichtung linear verschiebbaren Schubläden sind. So ist beispielhaft gezeigt, dass das untere Gefrierfach durch die als Tür 11 ausgebildete Frontwand einer Schublade 12 verschließbar ist, wobei diese Schublade 12 hier in herausgezogenem Zustand gezeigt ist.The two freezer compartments can also be closed by separate doors 10 and 11, these doors 10 and 11 being front walls of drawers that can be linearly displaced in the depth direction. It is shown by way of example that the lower freezer compartment can be closed by the front wall of a drawer 12, which is designed as a door 11, this drawer 12 being shown here in the pulled-out state.

Die Aufnahmeräume 3, 4, 8 und 9 sind durch einen Innenbehälter, der insbesondere aus Kunststoff ausgebildet ist, begrenzt.The receiving spaces 3, 4, 8 and 9 are delimited by an inner container which is made in particular of plastic.

Bei der nachfolgenden Erläuterung ist im Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, dass in dem Aufnahmeraum 4 eine Auszugsvorrichtung 13 angeordnet ist. Diese Auszugsvorrichtung 13 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel zum Lagern von Lebensmitteln, hier in Form von Flaschen, insbesondere Weinflaschen, ausgebildet. Diese Auszugsvorrichtung 13 ist in Tiefenrichtung linear verschiebbar in dem Aufnahmeraum 3 gelagert. Die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 ist hier als Schublade ausgebildet und weist neben der Frontwand, die durch die Tür 5 gebildet ist, zwei Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 auf. Die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 ist in Höhenrichtung betrachtet die untere Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit. Diese erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 ist als Lagerplatte und somit als Tablett oder Tablar ausgebildet. Sie ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbespiel als Strebengebilde gestaltet, um darauf die Flaschen rollsicher auflegen zu können.In the following explanation, it is provided in the exemplary embodiment that a pull-out device 13 is arranged in the receiving space 4. In the exemplary embodiment, this pull-out device 13 is designed for storing food, here in the form of bottles, in particular wine bottles. This pull-out device 13 is in Mounted in the receiving space 3 so as to be linearly displaceable in the depth direction. The pull-out device 13 is designed here as a drawer and, in addition to the front wall formed by the door 5, has two food storage units 14 and 15. The first food storage unit 14 is the lower food storage unit when viewed in the vertical direction. This first food storage unit 14 is designed as a storage plate and thus as a tray or tray. In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is designed as a strut structure in order to be able to place the bottles on it safely.

Die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 stellt hier in Höhenrichtung betrachtet die obere Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit dar. Sie ist im Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls als Lagerplatte und somit als Tablett oder Tablar ausgebildet und auch hier vorzugsweise als Strebenstruktur gestaltet. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind beispielhaft zwei Flaschen 16 und 17 auf dieser oberen Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 liegend angeordnet.The second food storage unit 15 here represents the upper food storage unit viewed in the vertical direction. In the exemplary embodiment, it is also designed as a storage plate and thus as a tray or tray and here, too, is preferably designed as a strut structure. In the exemplary embodiment shown, two bottles 16 and 17 are arranged lying on this upper food storage unit 15 by way of example.

Die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 ist fest mit der Tür 5 verbunden. Die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 ist hier als Schublade ausgebildet. Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist, welche Teilkomponenten der Darstellung in Fig. 2 in einer dazu unterschiedlichen Perspektive zeigt, weist die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 Trägerteile 18 und 19 auf. Diese Trägerteile 18 und 19 stellen zugleich auch Seitenwände dar, die einen Lagerraum zwischen der unteren, ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 und der oberen, zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 in Breitenrichtung an gegenüberliegenden Seiten begrenzen. Diese Trägerteile 18 und 19 sind an Seitenrändern mit der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 verbunden, insbesondere auch mit der Tür 5 verbunden. Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist, ist an einer Außenseite des Trägersteils 19 eine Auszugsschiene 20, insbesondere ein Teleskopauszug, angeordnet. Dadurch kann die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 in Tiefenrichtung linear hin- und hergeschoben werden und somit in Auszugsrichtung (positive z-Richtung) und entgegen dieser Auszugsrichtung verschoben werden.The first food storage unit 14 is firmly connected to the door 5. The pull-out device 13 is designed here as a drawer. As in Fig. 3 it can be seen which sub-components of the representation in Fig. 2 shows in a different perspective, the pull-out device 13 has support parts 18 and 19. These carrier parts 18 and 19 also represent side walls which delimit a storage space between the lower, first food storage unit 14 and the upper, second food storage unit 15 in the width direction on opposite sides. These carrier parts 18 and 19 are connected at the side edges to the first food storage unit 14, in particular also connected to the door 5. As in Fig. 3 As can be seen, a pull-out rail 20, in particular a telescopic pull-out, is arranged on an outside of the carrier part 19. As a result, the pull-out device 13 can be pushed back and forth linearly in the depth direction and can thus be displaced in the pull-out direction (positive z-direction) and against this pull-out direction.

Die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 weist darüber hinaus ebenfalls eine separate Auszugsschiene 21 auf, die vorzugsweise ebenfalls ein Teleskopauszug ist. Durch diese Auszugsschiene 21, die entsprechend auch an der gegenüberliegenden Seite ausgebildet ist, kann die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 in Tiefenrichtung betrachtet hin- und hergeschoben werden, insbesondere auch unabhängig von der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14. Entsprechend ist auch an dem gegenüberliegenden Trägerteil 18 eine Auszugsschiene 20 angeordnet, die in Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 nicht erkennbar ist.The second food storage unit 15 also has a separate pull-out rail 21, which is preferably also a telescopic pull-out. By means of this pull-out rail 21, which is correspondingly also formed on the opposite side, the food storage unit 15 can be pushed back and forth viewed in the depth direction, in particular also independently of the first food storage unit 14. Correspondingly, a pull-out rail 20 is also arranged on the opposite carrier part 18, which is shown in FIG FIGS. 2 and 3 is not recognizable.

Die Auszugsschienen 20 und 21 sind vorzugsweise an Innenseiten und vertikalen Seitenwänden eines Innenbehälters, der den Aufnahmeraum 4 begrenzt, angeordnet. Sie weisen vorzugsweise jeweils eine Festschiene, die ortsfest an diesen Seitenwänden befestigt ist, und ist eine dazu bewegliche Laufschiene auf.The pull-out rails 20 and 21 are preferably arranged on the inner sides and vertical side walls of an inner container which delimits the receiving space 4. They preferably each have a fixed rail, which is fixedly attached to these side walls, and is a movable running rail for this purpose.

Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist, sind die genannten Spezifikationen als Lagerplatten derart gestaltet, dass zwischen zwei jeweils parallelen Sprossen 22 und 23 zumindest eine Mulde, insbesondere eine Durchbrechung 24, ausgebildet ist. Eine an einem derartigen Aufnahmebereich 25 bzw. Lagerbereich eingebrachte beziehungsweise aufgelegte Flasche ist somit dann verrutschsicher und rollsicher positioniert.As in Fig. 3 As can be seen, the specified specifications are designed as bearing plates in such a way that at least one trough, in particular an opening 24, is formed between two parallel rungs 22 and 23. A bottle introduced or placed on such a receiving area 25 or storage area is thus positioned so that it cannot slip and roll.

Die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 weist darüber hinaus eine Koppeleinrichtung 26 auf. Durch die Koppeleinrichtung 26 sind die Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 in spezifischen Stellungen zueinander koppelbar und somit danach bewegungsgekoppelt.The pull-out device 13 also has a coupling device 26. By means of the coupling device 26, the food storage units 14 and 15 can be coupled to one another in specific positions and are consequently coupled in terms of movement.

Durch die Koppeleinrichtung 26 ist es insbesondere erreicht, dass im vollständig eingeschobenen Zustand beider Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 diese entkoppelt sind. Wird die erste Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 aus dieser eingeschobenen Endstellung in Auszugsrichtung ausgezogen, insbesondere durch Greifen und Herausziehen der Tür 5, so ist ab einer insbesondere definiert vorgesehenen Auszugposition dieser ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 ein Koppeln mit der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 erreicht. Ab diesem bewegungsgekoppelten Zustand werden beide Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 bei weiterem Ausziehen in Auszugsrichtung gemeinsam ausgezogen.By means of the coupling device 26, it is achieved, in particular, that in the completely inserted state of the two food storage units 14 and 15, these are decoupled. If the first food storage unit 14 is pulled out of this inserted end position in the pull-out direction, in particular by gripping and pulling out the door 5, coupling with the second food storage unit 15 is achieved from a particularly defined pull-out position of this first food storage unit 14. From this motion-coupled state, both food storage units 14 and 15 are pulled out together when they are pulled out further in the pull-out direction.

In Fig. 4 ist ein Teilbereich der Komponenten, wie sie in Fig. 3 gezeigt sind, dargestellt. Wie hier zu erkennen ist, weist die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 ein Trägerteil 27 auf, welches als separate Komponente an dem plattenartigen Trägerteil 18 angeordnet ist, insbesondere an einem oberen Rand angeordnet ist. Das Trägerteil 27 ist hier im Ausführungsbeispiel vorzugsweise L-förmig. Es weist einen integrierten ersten Anschlag 28 auf, der Bestandteil der Koppeleinrichtung 26 ist. An der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 ist ein Koppelelement 29 angeordnet, insbesondere bewegbar, vorzugsweise schwenkbar, daran angeordnet. Die Schwenkachse ist in Breitenrichtung orientiert. Dieses Koppelelement 29, welches ebenfalls Bestandteil der Koppeleinrichtung 26 ist, ist in Breitenrichtung betrachtet zumindest bereichsweise überlappend mit diesem ersten Anschlag 28 angeordnet. Somit kann bei einem Ausziehen der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 der Anschlag 28 auf seinem Bewegungsweg dann das in Tiefenrichtung davor angeordnete Koppelelement 29 berühren, da sich dieses in der Bewegungsbahn des ersten Anschlags 28 befindet. Ist dieses Kontaktieren erreicht, so ist dann auch der gekoppelte Zustand zwischen den Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 gegeben.In Fig. 4 is part of the components as described in Fig. 3 are shown. As can be seen here, the pull-out device 13 has a carrier part 27 which is arranged as a separate component on the plate-like carrier part 18, in particular is arranged on an upper edge. The carrier part 27 is preferably L-shaped here in the exemplary embodiment. It has an integrated first stop 28 which is part of the coupling device 26. At the second food storage unit 15 a coupling element 29 is arranged, in particular movable, preferably pivotable, arranged thereon. The pivot axis is oriented in the width direction. This coupling element 29, which is also part of the coupling device 26, is arranged, viewed in the width direction, at least in some areas so as to overlap with this first stop 28. Thus, when the first food storage unit 14 is pulled out, the stop 28 on its path of movement can then touch the coupling element 29 arranged in front of it in the depth direction, since this is located in the path of movement of the first stop 28. Once this contact has been achieved, the coupled state between the food storage units 14 and 15 is then also given.

Darüber hinaus weist die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 ein Griffelement 30 auf, welches hier eine Griffleiste ist und welche sich am vorderen Rand der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 erstreckt, insbesondere im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite erstreckt. Dieses Griffelement 30 ist bewegbar, insbesondere schwenkbar, an dieser zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 an dessen vorderen Rand angeordnet. Eine Schwenkachse A ist hier in Breitenrichtung (x-Richtung) orientiert. Dieses Griffelement 30 ist mit der Koppeleinrichtung 26 gekoppelt. Ist das Griffelement 30 in einer Grundstellung, wie es in Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 gezeigt ist, angeordnet, so ist die Koppelstellung des Koppelelements 29 gehalten. Insbesondere ist durch diese Grundposition des Griffelements 30 ein Verschwenken des Koppelelements 29 verhindert, insbesondere gesperrt. Vorzugsweise ist dazu vorgesehen, dass ein separates oder integriertes Federelement vorhanden ist, welches mit seiner Federkraft in dieser Grundposition des Griffelements 30 entgegen einer Schwenkbewegung des Koppelelements 29 wirkt.In addition, the pull-out device 13 has a grip element 30, which here is a grip strip and which extends on the front edge of the second food storage unit 15, in particular extends essentially over the entire width. This grip element 30 is movable, in particular pivotable, arranged on this second food storage unit 15 on its front edge. A pivot axis A is oriented here in the width direction (x direction). This grip element 30 is coupled to the coupling device 26. If the grip element 30 is in a basic position, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 is shown, arranged, the coupling position of the coupling element 29 is maintained. In particular, this basic position of the grip element 30 prevents pivoting of the coupling element 29, in particular it is blocked. For this purpose, it is preferably provided that a separate or integrated spring element is present, which acts with its spring force in this basic position of the grip element 30 against a pivoting movement of the coupling element 29.

Soll der gekoppelte Zustand zwischen den Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 gelöst werden, so kann dies durch ein Betätigen des Griffelements erfolgen. Insbesondere wird dann eine Lösebewegung des Griffelements 30 vollzogen. Dies ist im Ausführungsbeispiel eine Schwenkbewegung und somit ein Ziehen der Griffleiste 30 nach vorne um die Schwenkachse A. Dadurch wird dann das Koppelelement 29 aus der Bewegungsbahn des ersten Anschlags 28 verschwenkt, insbesondere nach vorne und nach oben weggeschwenkt. Dadurch ist der gekoppelte Zustand gelöst und somit dieser bewegungsgekoppelte Zustand der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 entkoppelt. In diesem dann erreichten entkoppelten Zustand kann die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 unabhängig von der ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 wieder in den Aufnahmeraum 3 eingeschoben werden und somit entgegen der Auszugsrichtung linear nach hinten verschoben werden, und somit das weggeschwenkte Koppelelement 29 über den ersten Anschlag 28 hinweg bewegt werden. Dadurch kann insbesondere die Zugänglichkeit zu der unteren Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 umfänglicher erfolgen.If the coupled state between the food storage units 14 and 15 is to be released, this can be done by actuating the handle element. In particular, a release movement of the grip element 30 is then carried out. In the exemplary embodiment, this is a pivoting movement and thus a pulling of the grip strip 30 forward about the pivot axis A. As a result, the coupling element 29 is then pivoted out of the movement path of the first stop 28, in particular pivoted away forwards and upwards. As a result, the coupled state is released and this motion-coupled state of the food storage units 14 and 15 is thus decoupled. In this decoupled state, which is then reached, the second food storage unit can 15 can be pushed back into the receiving space 3 independently of the first food storage unit 14 and are thus displaced linearly backwards counter to the pull-out direction, and thus the pivoted coupling element 29 can be moved over the first stop 28. As a result, in particular the accessibility to the lower food storage unit 14 can be more extensive.

Wie darüber hinaus in Fig. 2 bis Fig. 4 erkennbar ist, ist im Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, dass die Auszugsvorrichtung 13 einen zweiten Anschlag 31 aufweist. Insbesondere ist dieser zweite Anschlag 31 in dem Trägerteil 27 integriert. In Tiefenrichtung betrachtet ist in vorteilhafter Ausführung der zweite Anschlag 31 weiter vorne angeordnet als der erste Anschlag 28. Wie darüber hinaus zu erkennen ist, ist der erste Anschlag 28 an einem vertikalen Schenkel 32 dieses L-förmigen Trägerteils 27 und der zweite Anschlag 31 an einem horizontalen Schenkel 33 dieses Trägerteils 27 ausgebildet. Der zweite Anschlag 31 erstreckt sich von der Oberseite dieses horizontalen Schenkels 33 nach oben und ist hier rampenförmig ausgestaltet. Vorzugsweise eine vertikale Flanke 34 dieses zweiten Anschlags 31 dient als Anschlagfläche für eine Gegenanschlagfläche 35 der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist es auch erreicht, dass die zweite Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 in Auszugsrichtung betrachtet relativ zur ersten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 14 nach vorne gezogen werden kann, jedoch maximal bis zu diesem zweiten Anschlag 31. Wie insbesondere in Fig. 4 zu erkennen ist, ist in Tiefenrichtung betrachtet ein Abstand zwischen dem ersten Anschlag 28 und dem zweiten Anschlag 31 gebildet, sodass diesbezüglich auch die maximale relative Verschiebedistanz in Auszugsrichtung zwischen den beiden Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 115 bei einem expliziten Herausziehen der zweiten Lebensmittel-Lagereinheit 15 definiert ist.How, moreover, in FIGS. 2 to 4 As can be seen, it is provided in the exemplary embodiment that the pull-out device 13 has a second stop 31. In particular, this second stop 31 is integrated in the carrier part 27. Viewed in the depth direction, the second stop 31 is arranged further forward than the first stop 28 in an advantageous embodiment. As can also be seen, the first stop 28 is on a vertical leg 32 of this L-shaped support part 27 and the second stop 31 is on a horizontal leg 33 of this carrier part 27 is formed. The second stop 31 extends upwards from the top of this horizontal leg 33 and is designed in the shape of a ramp here. Preferably, a vertical flank 34 of this second stop 31 serves as a stop surface for a counter-stop surface 35 of the second food storage unit 15 can be pulled, but at most up to this second stop 31. As in particular in Fig. 4 can be seen, viewed in the depth direction, a distance is formed between the first stop 28 and the second stop 31, so that in this respect the maximum relative displacement distance in the pull-out direction between the two food storage units 14 and 115 when the second food storage unit 15 is explicitly pulled out is defined.

Eine entsprechende Ausgestaltung ist auch bei dem gegenüberliegenden Trägerteil 19 vorgesehen, sodass hier auch ein entsprechend gestaltetes Trägerteil 27 angeordnet ist, wie auch in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist.A corresponding configuration is also provided for the opposite carrier part 19, so that a correspondingly designed carrier part 27 is also arranged here, as in FIG Fig. 3 can be seen.

In Fig. 5 ist in einer weiteren vergrößerten Darstellung ein Teilausschnitt der Auszugsvorrichtung 13 gezeigt. In dieser Ausgestaltung ist bei frontseitiger Betrachtung der rechtsseitige Teilbereich der Auszugsvorrichtung 13 gezeigt. In dieser Ausgestaltung ist beispielhaft gezeigt, wie die Gegenanschlagfläche 35 an die Anschlagfläche 34 anliegt.In Fig. 5 a partial section of the pull-out device 13 is shown in a further enlarged illustration. In this embodiment, when viewed from the front, the right-hand partial area of the pull-out device 13 is shown. In this embodiment, it is shown by way of example how the counter-stop surface 35 rests against the stop surface 34.

In Fig. 6 ist die Position der Komponenten gemäß Fig. 5 in einer dazu unterschiedlichen Perspektive, nämlich von vorne und von unten her, gezeigt. Wie hier explizit zu erkennen ist, sind die beiden Anschläge 28 und 31 in Breitenrichtung der Auszugsvorrichtung 13 betrachtet überlappungsfrei zueinander angeordnet. Insbesondere ist auch das Koppelelement 29 in Breitenrichtung betrachtet überlappungsfrei zu dem zweiten Anschlag 31 angeordnet. Dadurch ist in jeder Stellung der Lebensmittel-Lagereinheiten 14 und 15 vermieden, dass das Koppelelement 29 und der zweite Anschlag 31 sich kontaktieren könnten.In Fig. 6 is the position of the components according to Fig. 5 shown in a different perspective, namely from the front and from below. As can be seen explicitly here, the two stops 28 and 31, viewed in the width direction of the pull-out device 13, are arranged without overlapping with respect to one another. In particular, the coupling element 29, viewed in the width direction, is also arranged without overlapping with respect to the second stop 31. In this way, in every position of the food storage units 14 and 15, it is avoided that the coupling element 29 and the second stop 31 could contact one another.
