Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerating device comprising a heat-insulating housing (2) which can be closed by a door (1). Said door (1) comprises a door leaf (3), a circumferential sealing strip (4) situated on an inner surface of the door leaf (3) and used for sealing the door to a frame (5) of the housing, and a handle (12) which is mounted on the door leaf (3) in a moveable manner. An active arm (7) which is connected to the handle (12) enables contact to be made in a first position between the sealing strip (4) and the frame (5), and protrudes against said frame (5) in a second position to avoid making said contact. The door leaf (3) can optionally be mounted on the housing in such a way that it can rotate about one of two axes in the region of its vertical edges. The handle (12) and the active arm (7) are embodied in two parts and can be connected to each other in two mirror-image configurations.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit einem durch eine Tür verschließbaren wärmeisolierenden Gehäuse, wobei die Tür ein Türblatt, einen an einer Innenfläche des Türblatts umlaufenden Dichtstreifen zum Abdichten der Tür an einem Rahmen des Gehäuses und einen am Türblatt beweglich montierten Griff aufweist, wobei ein mit dem Griff verbundener Wirkarm in einer ersten Stellung einen Kontakt zwischen dem Dichtstreifen und dem Rahmen zulässt und in einer zweiten Stellung vom Türblatt so weit gegen den Rahmen vorsteht, dass er den Kontakt verhindert. Ein solches Kältegerät ist aus DE 196 52 828 A1 bekannt.The invention relates to a refrigerator with a closable by a door heat-insulating Housing, wherein the door is a door leaf, one on an inner surface of the door panel circumferential sealing strip for sealing the door to a frame of the housing and a handle movably mounted on the door leaf, one connected to the handle Wirkarm in a first position, a contact between the sealing strip and the Frame allows and in a second position from the door leaf so far against the frame projects that it prevents contact. Such a refrigerator is known from DE 196 52 828 A1 known.

Zweck dieses Wirkarms ist, das Öffnen der Tür zu erleichtern. Insbesondere wenn die Tür eines Tür eines Kältegeräts kurz nachdem sie geschlossen worden ist, erneut geöffnet werden muss, herrscht aufgrund der Abkühlung von im offenen Zustand in den Innenraum des Kältegeräts eingedrungener Warmluft in diesem einen Unterdruck, so dass zum Öffnen der Tür ein erheblicher Widerstand zu überwinden sein kann. Dieser Widerstand kann so groß sein, dass bei unachtsamer Handhabung die Standfestigkeit eines mit nur wenig Kühlgut gefüllten Kältegeräts beeinträchtigt sein kann.The purpose of this Wirkarms is to facilitate the opening of the door. Especially if the door a door of a refrigerator shortly after it has been closed, reopened must be, prevails due to the cooling of the open state in the interior the hot air entering the refrigerator in this one negative pressure, so that to open the door can overcome a considerable resistance. This resistance can be so great that when careless handling the stability of one with only a little Refrigerated goods filled refrigerator may be impaired.

Der Wirkarm erleichtert das Öffnen der Tür dadurch, dass er durch Betätigen des Griffs aus seiner ersten Stellung in die über den Dichtstreifen vorstehende zweite Stellung bringbar ist, in der er die Tür vom Rahmen des Kältegeräts abspreizt. Durch den so entstehenden Spalt zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Lichtstreifen kommt ein Druckausgleich zustande, so dass anschließend die Tür ohne nennenswerten Widerstand zu öffnen ist.The knuckle makes it easier to open the door by pushing the handle from its first position into the second position projecting above the sealing strip can be brought, in which he spreads the door from the frame of the refrigerator. By the resulting Gap between the frame and the light strip comes a pressure equalization concluded, so that subsequently the door can be opened without significant resistance.

Die Mehrzahl der gegenwärtig kommerziell verfügbaren Modelle von Kältegeräten haben Türen, die jeweils nach Gutdünken des Anwenders mit einer Schwenkachse im Bereich ihres linken oder rechten Randes an dem Gehäuse montierbar sind. Eine solche Konstruktion ist für den Hersteller wirtschaftlich, weil sie eine einheitliche Fertigung erlaubt und die Teilevielfalt reduziert, und weil die Lage der Schwenkachse erst festgelegt werden muss, wenn das Gerät beim Anwender aufgestellt wird, wofür meist ohnehin ein Kundendienstmitarbeiter beim Anwender anwesend sein muss, der diese Festlegung miterledigen kann.Most of the currently commercially available models of refrigerators have Doors, each at the discretion of the user with a swivel axis in the area their left or right edge are mounted on the housing. Such a construction is economical for the manufacturer, because it allows a uniform production and reduces the variety of parts, and because the position of the pivot axis are first determined must, when the device is set up at the user, for what usually a customer service representative anyway must be present at the user who miterleigen this definition can.

Ein Nachteil der aus DE 196 52 828 A1 bekannten Konstruktion ist jedoch, dass sie seitenspezifisch ist. Das heißt, ein Griff und ein Wirkarm der bekannten Konstruktion, die z.B. zur Anbringung an der rechten unteren Ecke einer Tür vorgesehen sind, die um eine im Bereich ihrer linken Kante verlaufende Achse schwenkbar ist, können nicht an der linken unteren Ecke montiert werden, falls eine Schwenkbarkeit der Tür um eine Achse im Bereich des rechten Randes erwünscht ist. Dies zwingt den Hersteller dazu, zwei verschiedene Modelle von Türen, jeweils mit rechter bzw. linker Schwenkachse, mit dazu passendem Griff und Wirkarm herzustellen, und der Benutzer eines solchen Geräts muss sich beim Kauf für eine der zwei Varianten entscheiden.A disadvantage of the construction known from DE 196 52 828 A1, however, is that it is page-specific is. That is, a handle and a knuckle of known construction, e.g. are provided for attachment to the lower right corner of a door, which is around a in the Area of its left edge axis is pivotal, can not be on the left If there is a pivoting of the door around an axis in the area the right edge is desired. This forces the manufacturer to do two different ones Models of doors, each with right or left pivot axis, with matching Handle and effect arm, and the user of such a device must be decide when buying one of the two variants.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, das oben beschriebene, aus DE 196 52 828 A1 beschriebene Kältegerät dahingehend weiter zu entwickeln, dass die Tür nach Wahl mit rechter oder linker Schwenkachse montiert werden kann, ohne dass dafür das Türblatt, der Griff oder der Wirkarm ausgetauscht werden müssen.Object of the present invention is that described above, from DE 196 52 828 A1 described to further develop that the door with choice right or left pivot axis can be mounted without the door leaf, the handle or the active arm must be replaced.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a refrigeration device having the features of claim 1.

Dabei dient zum Verbinden von Griff und Wirkarm vorzugsweise ein Stift, der quer zu zwei im wesentlichen parallelen, von einander beabstandeten Ebenen orientiert ist, in denen sich Griff und Wirkarm erstrecken. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Bewegung des Griffs und des Wirkarms eine Schwenkbewegung, wobei der Stift gleichzeitig eine Schwenkachse für diese Bewegung bildet.It serves to connect the handle and the active arm preferably a pin which transversely to two is oriented in substantially parallel, spaced-apart planes, in which extend grip and knuckle. Conveniently, the movement of the handle and the Wirkarms a pivoting movement, wherein the pin at the same time a pivot axis for this movement forms.

Eine besonders einfache Montage des Griffs und des Wirkarms an der Tür wird dadurch ermöglicht, dass der Stift mit dem Wirkarm einstückig ausgebildet ist. In diesem Fall kann nämlich an der Frontfläche des Türblatts zur Einführung des Griffs ein einfacher Schlitz ausgebildet sein, und an einer dem Schlitz benachbarten Seitenfläche des Türblatts ist eine Öffnung ausgebildet, durch die der Wirkarm einführbar und mit dem Verbindungsabschnitt des Griffs drehfest über den Stift verbindbar ist. A particularly simple installation of the handle and the active arm on the door is characterized allows the pin to be integrally formed with the knuckle. In this case can namely on the front surface of the door panel for the introduction of the handle a simple slot is formed, and at a side surface adjacent to the slot of the door leaf formed an opening through which the active arm inserted and with the connecting portion the handle rotatably connected via the pin is connectable.

Um nach der Montage des Wirkarms die Öffnung zu verdecken, ist zweckmäßigerweise eine Kappe vorgesehen.In order to cover the opening after assembly of the active arm, is expediently provided a cap.

Diese Kappe kann ein Lagerelement für den Stift aufweisen, um die Achse der Schwenkbewegung zu stabilisieren.This cap may include a bearing member for the pin about the axis of pivotal movement to stabilize.

Für die Anbringung des Stifts und des Wirkarms an dem Türblatt in zwei spiegelbildlichen Konfigurationen können insgesamt zwei Schlitze jeweils zu der gleichen Seitenfläche benachbart und spiegelsymmetrisch zu einander angeordnet sein. Diese Variante ist besonders zweckmäßig, wenn die Seitenfläche eine horizontale Seitenfläche ist, d.h. wenn der Griff in der Nähe der oberen oder unteren Kante des Türblatts angeordnet ist, um einen großen Abstand des Griffs von der Schwenkachse der Tür und damit einen großen Hebelarm gewährleisten zu können. Falls der Griff an der jeweils der Schwenkachse gegenüberliegenden vertikalen Kante des Türblatts angebracht wird, kann ein Schlitz ausreichen.For the attachment of the pin and the active arm on the door leaf in two mirror-image Configurations may have a total of two slots adjacent each to the same side surface and be arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other. This variant is special appropriate if the side surface is a horizontal side surface, i. if the Handle near the top or bottom edge of the door leaf is arranged to one large distance of the handle from the pivot axis of the door and thus a large lever arm to be able to guarantee. If the handle on each of the pivot axis opposite vertical edge of the door leaf, a slot may be sufficient.

Falls zwei Schlitze vorgesehen werden, kann die Kappe durch ein Profilelement zum Abdecken beider Öffnungen und des jeweils freien Schlitzes ersetzt sein.If two slots are provided, the cap can be covered by a profile element be replaced both openings and the respective free slot.

Um mit dem Wirkarm eine große Kraft übertragen zu können, ist dieser zweckmäßigerweise im wesentlichen plattenförmig ausgebildet, wobei seine mit dem Rahmen zusammenwirkende Spitze verdickt ist, um die auf den Rahmen beim Öffnen ausgeübte Kraft auf eine große Fläche zu verteilen und so Abrieb zu begrenzen.To be able to transfer a large force with the active arm, this is expediently formed substantially plate-shaped, with its cooperating with the frame Tip is thickened around the force exerted on the frame when opening spread over a large area and thus limit abrasion.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf eine Tür 1 und den daran angrenzenden Bereich des Gehäuses 2 eines Kältegeräts im Bereich der rechten oberen Ecke der Tür 1. Die Tür 1 umfasst ein hohles, mit einem wärmedämmenden Schaummaterial ausgefülltes Türblatt 3, an dessen Innenfläche ein elastischer Dichtstreifen 4 angebracht ist. In der in der Fig. gezeigten geschlossenen Stellung der Tür liegt der Dichtstreifen 4 am Rahmen 5 des Gehäuses 2 an, so dass der Innenraum des Kältegeräts nahezu luftdicht verschlossen ist.Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a door 1 and the adjacent thereto portion of the housing 2 of a refrigerator in the upper right corner of the door 1. The door 1 comprises a hollow, filled with a heat-insulating foam material door leaf 3, on the inner surface of an elastic sealing strip 4 is attached. In the in Fig. shown closed position of the door is the sealing strip 4 on the frame 5 of the housing 2, so that the interior of the refrigerator is almost hermetically sealed.

Eine Öffnung 6 an der oberen Seitenfläche des Türblatts 3 gibt den Blick in dessen Inneres frei. Man erkennt ein hier als Wirkarm 7 bezeichnetes Element aus einem festen Kunststoff, das im wesentlichen die Gestalt einer Platte hat, mit einer in etwa rechtwinkligen Spitze 8, von der eine Flanke 9 an einem an dem Rahmen 5 angebrachten Polster 10 aus Kunststoff aufliegt, und einer Basis 11, die über einen senkrecht zur Ebene der Zeichnung verlaufenden Stift 23 (s. Fig. 4) drehfest an einen Verbindungsabschnitt 13 eines Griffs 12 gekoppelt ist. Dieser Verbindungsabschnitt 13, der schmaler als der Hauptkörper des Griffs ist, ist durch einen Schlitz an der Frontseite des Türblatts 3 in dessen Inneres eingeführt.An opening 6 on the upper side surface of the door panel 3 gives the view in the interior free. It can be seen here as an active element 7 designated element of a solid Plastic, which has the shape of a plate substantially, with an approximately rectangular Tip 8, of which a flank 9 on a pad attached to the frame 5 10th made of plastic rests, and a base 11, which has a perpendicular to the plane of the Drawing extending pin 23 (see Fig. 4) rotatably connected to a connecting portion 13th a handle 12 is coupled. This connecting portion 13, which is narrower than the Main body of the handle is through a slot on the front side of the door panel 3 in the Introduced inside.

Eine Feder 14 übt ein Drehmoment im Uhrzeigersinn auf den Griff 12 und den Wirkarm 7 aus und hält diese so in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten ersten Position, in der die Spitze 8 das Polster 10 nicht oder allenfalls mit einem vernachlässigbaren Druck berührt. Wenn ein Benutzer jedoch den Griff 12 zu sich hinzieht, schwenkt dieser entgegen der Kraft der Feder 14 und dreht somit auch den Wirkarm 7, der so die Tür 1 vom Rahmen 5 forttreibt. Da bezogen auf die gemeinsame Schwenkachse 15 von Griff 12 und Wirkarm 7 der Hebelarm des Griffs 12 wesentlich länger ist als der der Spitze 8, genügt eine kleine, vom Benutzer ausgeübte Zugkraft, um mit einer erheblich größeren Kraft die Tür 1 vom Rahmen 5 abzuspreizen und so die Tür auch entgegen einem im Innern des Kältegeräts herrschenden Unterdruck zu öffnen. A spring 14 exerts a torque in a clockwise direction on the handle 12 and the active arm. 7 and holds them so in the first position shown in Fig. 1, in which the tip 8 the Pad 10 not touched or at best with a negligible pressure. When a User draws the handle 12 to itself, this pivots against the force of Spring 14 and thus also rotates the knuckle 7, which thus drives the door 1 from the frame 5. Since based on the common pivot axis 15 of the handle 12 and 7 Wirkarm the lever arm of the handle 12 is much longer than that of the top 8, is sufficient for a small, from User exerted traction to move the door 1 from the frame with a significantly greater force 5 abzuspreizen and so the door against a prevailing inside the refrigerator To open negative pressure.

Im linken Randbereich der Tür ist eine zur Öffnung 6 analoge Öffnung in der oberen Seitenfläche des Türblatts gebildet, in der, wie Fig. 2 zeigt, der Griff 12 und der Wirkarm 7 in spiegelbildlich analoger Weise montierbar sind. Für die spiegelbildliche Montierbarkeit genügt es, dass der Griff entlang einer horizontalen, zur Zeichnungsebene parallelen Ebene symmetrisch ist, und dass der Wirkarm 7 symmetrisch zu einer Ebene ist, die durch dessen Spitze 8 und die Schwenkachse 15 verläuft.In the left edge area of the door is an opening 6 similar to the opening in the upper side surface formed of the door leaf, in which, as shown in FIG. 2, the handle 12 and the active arm 7 in mirror image analogous manner are mountable. For the mirror image montability it is sufficient that the handle along a horizontal plane parallel to the plane of the drawing is symmetrical, and that the action arm 7 is symmetrical to a plane passing through the top 8 and the pivot axis 15 extends.

Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch das Türblatt 3 entlang der Ebene III-III aus Fig. 2, und Fig. 4 zeigt die Teile, die auch in Fig. 3 zu sehen sind, in einer auseinandergezogenen Darstellung.3 shows a section through the door leaf 3 along the plane III-III of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 shows the parts which can also be seen in FIG. 3 in an exploded view Presentation.

Der obere Rand des Türblatts 3 ist durch einen Kunststoff-Formkörper 20 gebildet, der an der Frontseite den bereits erwähnten Schlitz 21 aufweist, der den Verbindungsabschnitt 13 des Griffs aufnimmt. Dieser Verbindungsabschnitt 13 besitzt eine Bohrung 22 mit quadratischem Querschnitt.The upper edge of the door panel 3 is formed by a plastic molded body 20, the the front side has the already mentioned slot 21, which is the connecting portion 13 of the handle. This connecting portion 13 has a bore 22 with square cross section.

Der Wirkarm 7 ist einstückig mit dem bereits mit Bezug auf Fig. 1 angesprochenen Stift 23 ausgebildet. Der Stift 23 dient zum Herstellen eines Abstandes zwischen den zwei parallelen Ebenen, in denen der Wirkarm 7 und der Griff 12 drehbar sind. Die Ebene des Wirkarms 7 muss am äußersten Rand des Türblatts 3 liegen, damit der Wirkarm 7 beim Öffnen außerhalb des Dichtstreifens 4 gegen den Rahmen 5 drücken kann; die des Griffs muss weiter zur Mitte des Türblatts 3 liegen, um eine feste Lagerung der Schwenkachse zu ermöglichen. Der Stift 23 umfasst einen ersten, breiten zylindrischen Abschnitt 24, an dem zwei radiale Schlitze 25 symmetrisch zueinander ausgebildet sind, von denen in Fig. 4 nur einer zu sehen ist. Der Schlitz 25 dient zur Aufnahme einer Spitze der Feder 14.The active arm 7 is integral with the already addressed with reference to FIG. 1 pin 23rd educated. The pin 23 serves to establish a distance between the two parallel planes in which the knuckle 7 and the handle 12 are rotatable. The level of Wirkarms 7 must be located on the outermost edge of the door panel 3, so that the Wirkarm 7 during Opening outside the sealing strip 4 can press against the frame 5; the handle must continue to lie to the center of the door panel 3 to a fixed mounting of the pivot axis to enable. The pin 23 includes a first, wide cylindrical portion 24 at the two radial slots 25 are formed symmetrically to each other, of which in Fig. 4 only one can be seen. The slot 25 serves to receive a tip of the spring 14.

An den ersten Abschnitt 24 des Stifts 23 schließt sich ein schmalerer zylindrischer Abschnitt 26, ein Abschnitt 27 mit quadratischem Querschnitt und eine wiederum zylindrische Spitze 28 an. Der quadratische Abschnitt 27 greift in der Fig. 3 gezeigten montierten Stellung des Wirkarms drehfest in die Bohrung 22 des Griffs 12 ein. Die Spitze 28 ist in einem Sackloch 29 des Formkörpers 20 aufgenommen und bildet so einen unteren Lagerpunkt für die Schwenkachse 15. At the first portion 24 of the pin 23, a narrower cylindrical section closes 26, a section 27 with a square cross-section and a turn cylindrical Tip 28 on. The square portion 27 engages assembled in the Fig. 3 shown Position of the active arm rotatably into the bore 22 of the handle 12 a. The top 28 is in taken a blind hole 29 of the molding 20 and thus forms a lower bearing point for the pivot axis 15.

Die Öffnung 6 ist in Fig. 3 durch eine Kappe 30 verschlossen, hier in Gestalt eines kurzen Winkelprofilelements mit einem die Öffnung 6 verdeckenden horizontalen Schenkel 31 und einem vertikalen Schenkel 32. Die Kappe 30 ist am Türblatt 3 einerseits durch zwei Kunststoffstopfen 33, die durch zwei Löcher des horizontalen Schenkels 1 in in Fig. 2 gezeigte komplementäre Löcher 34 in der oberen Seitenfläche des Türblatts rastend eingreifen, und zum anderen durch Rastvorsprünge 35 befestigt, die in eine Nut 36 des Formkörpers 20 eingreifen. Die Innenseite des horizontalen Schenkels 31 befindet sich auf fast ihrer gesamten Ausdehnung in Kontakt mit dem Wirkarm 7 und trägt so zur Lagefixierung der Schwenkachse 15 bei. Als Variante könnte zum gleichen Zweck an der Unterseite des horizontalen Schenkels 31 ein Stift ausgeformt sein, der in eine axiale Bohrung des Wirkarms 7 eingreift.The opening 6 is closed in Fig. 3 by a cap 30, here in the form of a short Angle profile element with an opening 6 concealing the horizontal leg 31st and a vertical leg 32. The cap 30 is on the door leaf 3 on the one hand by two Plastic plug 33, which through two holes of the horizontal leg 1 in shown in Fig. 2 engage complementary holes 34 in the upper side surface of the door leaf, and on the other by locking projections 35 fixed in a groove 36 of the molding 20 intervene. The inside of the horizontal leg 31 is almost on their entire extent in contact with the Wirkarm 7 and thus contributes to fixing the position the pivot axis 15 at. As a variant could for the same purpose at the bottom of the horizontal leg 31 may be a pin formed in an axial bore of the active arm 7 engages.

Die zwei Löcher 34 in der Umgebung derjenigen Öffnung 6, die den Wirkarm 7 nicht aufnimmt, können zur Verankerung von Beschlagteilen des Türschamiers genutzt werden.The two holes 34 in the vicinity of that opening 6, which does not receive the active arm 7, can be used for anchoring fittings of the door hinge.

Fig. 5 zeigt den oberen Bereich des Kältegeräts in einer Vorderansicht. Der Formkörper 20 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Breite des Türblatts 3. Oberhalb des Griffs 12 ist der vertikale Schenkel 32 der Kappe 30 zu sehen. Ein im rechten Endbereich des Formkörpers 20 ausgebildeter Schlitz, der den Griff 12 in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Stellung aufnehmen könnte, ist durch den vertikalen Schenkel einer zweiten Kappe 35 verdeckt, der geringfügig länger ist als der vertikale Schenkel 32 der Kappe 30, um eine geschlossene Frontpartie zu bilden. Um den Türanschlag zu vertauschen, genügt es, in an sich bekannter Weise die Türaufhängung 36 von der rechten auf die linke Seite des Rahmens 5 zu verlagern, die Kappen 32, 35 zu lösen, Griff 12 und Wirkarm 7 zu entnehmen, jeweils spiegelbildlich auf der anderen Seite des Türblatts wieder einzubauen und die Kappen 30, 35 ebenfalls vertauscht wieder zu montieren.Fig. 5 shows the upper portion of the refrigerator in a front view. The molded body 20 extends over the entire width of the door panel 3. Above the handle 12 is the vertical leg 32 of the cap 30 can be seen. A in the right end of the molding 20 trained slot which receive the handle 12 in the position shown in Fig. 1 could be obscured by the vertical leg of a second cap 35 which is slight is longer than the vertical leg 32 of the cap 30 to a closed Front end to form. To exchange the door stop, it is sufficient, in known per se Assemble the door hanger 36 from the right side to the left side of the frame 5 relocate the caps 32, 35 to release, handle 12 and 7 to take effect arm, respectively mirror-inverted on the other side of the door panel and the caps 30, 35 also exchanged again to assemble.

Bei der obigen Beschreibung wurde davon ausgegangen, dass die durch Griff 12 und Wirkarm 7 gebildete Türöffnungshilfe im oberen Randbereich der Tür angeordnet ist. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass eine Anordnung im unteren Randbereich oder an einem vertikalen Rand ebenso möglich ist. Insbesondere im letzteren Fall kann ein einziger Schlitz am Türblatt vorgesehen werden, der je nach Orientierung, in der das Türblatt montiert wird, an dessen rechten oder linken Rand zu liegen kommen kann.In the above description it was assumed that the handle 12 and Wirkarm 7 formed door opening help in the upper edge region of the door is arranged. It is obvious that an arrangement in the lower edge area or on a vertical Rand is also possible. In particular, in the latter case, a single slot on Be provided depending on the orientation in which the door leaf is mounted, can come to rest on the right or left edge.
