Description

Refrigerator and relevant storage container

Technical field

The present invention relates to electric refrigerator, it comprises at least one storage container, the acceptance division that wherein said storage container has fixing maintaining part and installs movably thereon and be used for storing article to be cooled.

Background technology

Electric refrigerator such as refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer or combined refrigerator refrigerator-freezer electrical equipment comprises substantially one or more storage containers, is so-called Fomento dish on its madial wall.In this case, usually being arranged to a plurality of Fomento dishes connects on another with one predetermined of vertical separation on the madial wall of relevant door.In this case, the storage container form of the first kind is the box-shaped acceptance division, and wherein said box-shaped acceptance division also can rigidly, namely immovably be connected to the madial wall of relevant door at open top.For convenient, when loading and unloading article to be cooled, the storage container of additional Second Type comprises such storage container or Fomento dish, the acceptance division that wherein said storage container or Fomento dish have respectively fixing maintaining part and connect movably thereon and be used for storing article to be cooled.In this case, fixedly maintaining part is used for being connected or fixed to the madial wall of relevant door.Because acceptance division can swing open and left from the madial wall of relevant door, so being inserted in the acceptance division or from acceptance division more easily, the situation of the acceptance division that article to be cooled can the specific rigidity design takes out.Particularly, for example bottle, box or other container for drink can be inserted into more easily than the situation of the first kind in the acceptance division of movably installing of Fomento dish of Second Type and again take out from this acceptance division for clumsiness to be cooled and high article.Particularly, because the antetheca forward of the acceptance division of movably installing can tilt, namely move to the position of deflection, so height is settled in the gap of comparing with Fomento dish pure rigidity, that be irremovable design in the time of can increasing loading and unloading article to be cooled, thereby allow the actual available locker room in the Fomento dish of good utilisation more.On the relevant fixedly maintaining part that movably acceptance division is suspended at this storage container or Fomento dish, usually at the substantial middle place of its sidewall the transverse rotation joint is set.

In this case, these transverse rotation joints or hinge laterally outwards or inwardly stretch out, and thereby have reduced undesirably available locker room.In fact, the swivel joint of this horizontal installation has limited the layout free degree with respect to the outer and/or interior geometry of Fomento dish in some cases too much, has perhaps affected the outward appearance of acceptance division and the relevant outer and/or interior contour shape of fixedly maintaining part in sidewall areas of removable installation.In order to hide the associated transverse swivel joint between acceptance division and the maintaining part, opaque material is normally used for acceptance division and maintaining part basically.Yet relevant transverse rotation joint is still visible usually.Because relevant transverse rotation joint is installed on the sidewall of relevant Fomento dish between two parties, thus be necessary equally very much to limit the tray depth of the bottom of acceptance division, thus prevent that acceptance division is owing to its banking motion is wiped rear wall by maintaining part.This can cause the restriction of the available spatial depth aspect of the Fomento dish of being correlated with.And in the situation of the acceptance division that is laterally hinged with of this Fomento dish, banking motion can be too little when loading or unloading article to be cooled.The transverse rotation of the acceptance division of relevant Fomento dish is installed the inclination that can also cause in some cases not expecting, is the back and forth inclination of acceptance division.In some cases, the acceptance division of this horizontal installation only can manually tilt to get back to its final closed position, namely apply power by the operator and realize on one's own initiative, and this is considered to inconvenient with sesquipedalian.If the operator forgets to returning the inclination acceptance division, then this can cause the Fomento dish to be wiped against the internal part of electric refrigerator or the article to be cooled of storage therein.

Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of electric refrigerator, wherein said electric refrigerator comprises at least one storage container; Stronger function convenience is provided; And has the improved layout possibility with respect to its geometry.According to the present invention, this purpose is realized by the electric refrigerator of mentioning type in the background technology in context, wherein, in the lower front edge zone of maintaining part, described acceptance division is rotatably installed on the maintaining part by means of at least one swivel joint, thereby a clean reseting torque is applied to described acceptance division in the final plant closure position of described acceptance division with relative open position between the final open position, thereby so that described acceptance division tilts to get back to its final plant closure position independently.

Because at least one swivel joint is in the zone of the lower front edge of the acceptance division of storage container and/or maintaining part, namely arrange near the zone, front side the bottom, so open or obliquity a reseting torque always occurs along the direction of its final plant closure position for each between its final plant closure position and its final open position of acceptance division.This means acceptance division since its intrinsic weight does not have the operator to get involved or auxiliarily and automatically autonomous or independent inclination get back to its final plant closure position.This be because at least one swivel joint near the bottom in the front side of relevant storage container, be installation in the zone of antetheca of the antetheca of acceptance division and/or maintaining part, and thereby, any obliquity between final plant closure position and final open position, the center of gravity of the acceptance division of this Fomento dish always are positioned at rotation with respect to this swivel joint on the side of the fixedly rear wall sensing of maintaining part.Utilization hinged this acceptance division in the zone of lower leading edge has further been guaranteed, when described acceptance division opens to final open position from its final plant closure position, the lower back edge of described acceptance division is through the arc section of an expectation, and whether described lower back edge be arranged in the inside of maintaining part fully and namely contact with the rear wall of maintaining part and or not do not intersect the rear wall of maintaining part.In other words, the process of the banking motion from the final plant closure position to final open position (and vice versa), acceptance division abut against maintaining part rear wall any brushing since the forward rotation in the zone of the front of storage container install and basically be prevented from.

Owing to lack the transverse rotation joint, the geometry in the zone of its sidewall or body side frame of the acceptance division of Fomento dish of the present invention and/or maintaining part can advantageously be configured with the very large free degree.Particularly, acceptance division and/or maintaining part are being widened in shape more than the situation of the conventional door pallet with the pivot bearings of installing in the central cross of vertical side of acceptance division.Therefore, can provide for article to be cooled larger locker room.Taking it by and large, relevant swivel joint forwards moves on to the formation of widening internal tank that advantageously allows storage container in the zone of lower front edge of acceptance division and/or maintaining part.In the situation of maintaining part, the sidewall of maintaining part can specifically be constructed to the side flange that shortens or even advantageously be omitted entirely.Hold requiredly as the transverse pivot in the Fomento dish of traditional type, the coincidence of the sidewall of maintaining part and acceptance division or double-walled engage and can partially or even wholly be avoided in the situation of the Fomento dish hinged according to the present invention.Particularly, because swivel joint is shifted forward, so storage container preferably can be configured to have the visible single wall of the sidewall areas of being positioned at user.In this case, pass through particularly the only relevant sidewall of a sidewall formation storage container of rotatably mounted acceptance division.This has advantageously caused the less outward appearance of the volume of storage container in its body side frame or sidewall areas.Therefore two sidewalls of relevant storage container can advantageously be constructed to single wall basically or fully.Particularly, described sidewall is preferably only formed by two sidewalls of the rotatably mounted acceptance division according to the present invention.

Because the swivel joint preferably face in the zone of the lower leading edge of storage container is installed, thus from current open or obliquity, namely in the motion that independently recedes of realization acceptance division between final plant closure position and the final open position with getting back to the final plant closure position.This provides the improved convenience for the user of electric refrigerator.Particularly, compare with traditional Fomento dish, comprise that the acceptance division of the swivel joint that shifts forward according to the present invention with respect to the available arrangement height of the storage container of article such as beverage bottle, box or other container for drink such as the milk carton etc. that are used for being inserted into or taking out, provides for more free space highly in relative obliquity or open position.This is to compare further downward in the situation of the Fomento dish that is laterally hinged with because the apical margin of acceptance division antetheca namely loads the edge at final open position.Thus, high article especially can advantageously be inserted into or be removed more easily.That load or empty acceptance division can automatically be closed by swing from relevant obliquity along the direction of the final plant closure position of acceptance division, and namely this is because the intrinsic weight of acceptance division and to need not the operator auxiliary.Particularly, after the acceptance division of storage container constructed according to the invention is unloaded, storage container is in the state that empties now at article to be cooled, and with independently, namely automatically tilt to its final plant closure position to returning, it is auxiliary to need not the operator.This prevents being in current open position basically, be that the acceptance division of final open position still tilts with respect to the basically smooth ground, inner wall surface oblique angle of door and thereby prevents that the madial wall from door stretches into too much when door is closed.If acceptance division still is in obliquity (the final open position of concrete acceptance division) when door is closed, then the acceptance division top edge that utilizes its antetheca stretch out with respect to the madial wall of door too far away the inner part so that acceptance division is crashed in the interior cabin of electric refrigerator, for example shelf panel or vegetable drawer.Yet, tilt to get back to the final plant closure position because structure of the present invention is always guaranteed acceptance division from the relative open position between its final plant closure position and its final open position, so even when door is closed, can meet desired depth for storage container.Therefore, basically avoided storage container constructed according to the invention to abut against any internal part in the electric refrigerator or the brushing of stores to be cooled.

According to favourable remodeling of the present invention, the downside in the bottom of acceptance division in the zone of the lower leading edge of acceptance division arranges at least one swivel joint.If the user observes the front top view of the antetheca of storage container, be positioned at then that therefore at least one swivel joint on the downside of bottom of acceptance division advantageously is hidden and therefore basically invisible for the operator.

Particularly, suitable is on the bottom of acceptance division with at least one swivel joint predetermined limit (predetermined camouflageborder) of covering up of mobile lower leading edge with respect to acceptance division backward, thereby when the operator watches in the place ahead of the antetheca of the Fomento dish that arranges thus, from operator's angle, even can take out acceptance division more simply.

According to another remodeling, if necessary suitablely be, directly along the lower leading edge of acceptance division, along its axial length piecewise or at least one swivel joint fully is set.

According to another favourable remodeling of the present invention, it is transparent that the acceptance division of storage container constructed according to the invention and maintaining part all advantageously are constructed to.This is advantageously so that realize the effect of the internal tank widened for the storage container of the present invention structure.Particularly, this allows that be easy to understand thoroughly and more aesthstic gratifying overall appearance.

According to favourable remodeling of the present invention, same plastics can be used for fixedly maintaining part and rotatably mounted acceptance division, and this is near the situation of the forefoot area the bottom of the lower leading edge that at least one swivel joint forwards is moved to storage container according to the present invention.

According to further favourable remodeling of the present invention, the relevant sidewall of the acceptance division of storage container constructed according to the invention or Fomento dish can be made has the wall thickness identical with its antetheca.Particularly, with required comparing in the situation of traditional storage container of the swivel joint of arranging placed in the middle on the sidewall that is included in acceptance division, thinner wall size or the wall thickness of the sidewall of storage container constructed according to the invention and antetheca have been enough.This is because the thicker wall size of these requirements of the sidewall of maintaining part can provide the suitable material stiffness of its sidewall, so that acceptance division is installed on mechanically stable ground.This can be omitted in the situation of storage container constructed according to the invention now, and this is because at least one swivel joint moves forward in the zone of the close bottom on the face of storage container constructed according to the invention.

According to suitable remodeling of the present invention, swivel joint comprises at least one holder element and at least one bolt or the pin element that is positioned on acceptance division and/or the maintaining part.For purposes of the present invention, the interior contour correspondence of relevant receptacle portion is in the outline of relevant spigot.

For purposes of the present invention, relevant holder element can be in the zone of the lower front edge of acceptance division or directly is installed on the downside of bottom of acceptance division in the lower front edge of acceptance division, and bolt element or the pin element of being correlated with are settled in the lower front of maintaining part on the downside of the bottom of maintaining part or directly.In this case, relevant holder element can extend along a part or the whole axial length of the lower leading edge of acceptance division, and/or relevant bolt element can extend along a part or the whole axial length of the lower leading edge of maintaining part.

In optional, the favourable remodeling of relevant holder element and the structure of relevant bolt element, can in acceptance division and maintaining part relevant holder element and relevant bolt element be set reversedly.Particularly, this means that relevant holder element is advantageously directly arranging on the leading edge of the bottom of maintaining part or on the downside in the bottom in the zone of the lower leading edge of maintaining part, and relevant bolt element is installed on the lower leading edge at acceptance division or at the downside of the bottom of acceptance division in the lower leading edge of acceptance division regional.

Relevant swivel joint can be constructed to so-called strap hinge or hinge-type hinge alternatively.Particularly, so-called continuous hinge or piano hinge can be fit to, and wherein, hinge part arranges with predetermined length interval.Axial length extension along the lower leading edge of acceptance division is watched, and a plurality of swivel joints or hinge section are set.So-called smooth strap hinge also can be set to swivel joint if necessary.Particularly, so-called folding hinge also can be enough.Utilize this suitable remodeling, preferred being interconnected with one another integratedly or via shared ribbon element in acceptance division and the maintaining part one or more axis vertical points place in the zone of the lower leading edge of acceptance division is in the same place.Particularly, it is shell element that this ribbon element is constructed to, and preferred form is folding element.Because the flexibility of this element, so it allows specifically rotatablely moving of acceptance division and maintaining part, wherein said acceptance division and maintaining part link together via this folding element that shares.This folding hinge is swivel joint as simple and cheap remodeling specifically, if acceptance division and maintaining part specifically are made of plastics.Acceptance division is connected with maintaining part and is preferably connected via relevant folding hinge one.Particularly, polypropylene is owing to be suitable for as the material that is used for maintaining part and acceptance division and relevant folding hinge, and this is because the wearability of polyacrylic excellence.

The specific embodiment

The element that has identical function and operation in Fig. 1 to 5 is represented by identical Reference numeral respectively.

Fig. 1 has schematically shown as the perspective view according to the inside of the two-door electric refrigerator KG that opens of the favourable illustrative examples of electric refrigerator of the present invention.Electric refrigerator KG comprises shared housing, and wherein said shared housing comprises two vertically extending inner pressurd vessel F1, F2, wherein said these two vertically extending inner pressurd vessels laterally adjacent one another are, namely be arranged side by side and separated by a dividing wall TW each other.Particularly, the left side among Fig. 1, the first interior cabin F1 for example are constructed to refrigerating plant, and right side the second interior cabin F2 is constructed to cold storage plant (cooling device).Alternatively, these two interior cabins can be constructed to cold storage plant or refrigerating plant simultaneously.Below, these two interior cabins are considered to respectively electric refrigerator for the reason of simplifying.Each electric refrigerator F1, F2 can close by door TU1, the TU2 of each self-configuring.In this case, relevant door TU1 or TU2 are suspended pivotly from the outer longitudinal framing of electric refrigerator KG.In the closed condition of electric refrigerator KG, the sidepiece swing of door TU1, TU2, freely vertical utilizes sealed lip pressing the front surface of dividing wall TW.In order to open relevant door TU1 or TU2, the freedom of door movably longitudinal framing sidepiece laterally and outwards puts away from dividing wall TW.Each electric refrigerator F 1 or F2 comprise a plurality of shelf panels, drawer cabin, storage compartment and/or one or more freezing cabin.

One or more so-called Fomento dishes or storage container are installed at relevant door TU1 or the madial wall TIW of TU2.For example, three box-shaped storage containers or Fomento dish BE1 install with predetermined vertical separation on the madial wall of door TU1 each other.A plurality of Fomento dishes or storage container for example BE2, BE3, BE4 are installed with mutually predetermined vertical separation on the madial wall of second TU2 equally.In this case, relevant Fomento dish for example BE1 door for example the inner frame of TU1 for example insert in friction tight mode basically between vertically extending vertical lateral margin of IR1, that is to say, described Fomento dish traverses two the parallel vertically vertically gap width of lateral margins extensions of the inner frame IR1 of a TU1 basically, thereby has realized the optimal spatial utilization.

In the situation of other electric refrigerator, for example simple gate or multi-door refrigerator-freezer, combined refrigerator/refrigerator-freezer electrical equipment and refrigerator, this Fomento dish also can be installed at the madial wall of relevant door significantly.

For so that relevant storage container for example BE1 can load article to be cooled, namely realize loading in comfortable and actual mode and also again realize unloading with convenient or comfortable mode in most convenient ground, for storage container arranges swing or leaning device.For the purpose of loading and unloading, storage container can with respect to relevant door for example the flat inboard TIW of TU1 swing or tilt towards the operator forward, thereby the box-shaped storage container for example the opening on the top side of BE1 towards the operator.Relevant storage container door does not have lid, and the inside of this storage container is freely palp from the top.Relevant storage container for example BE1 comprises fixing maintaining part HT and rotatably mounted acceptance division AT on described fixing maintaining part, thereby described acceptance division can especially be reversed, in order to store article to be cooled.

Fig. 2 shows and sees the schematic cross sectional views of storage container BE1 in the past from side direction on the madial wall TIW of the door TU1 that is located at the final plant closure position.Maintaining part HT has rear wall RHT, and wherein said rear wall RHT has the shape of flat rectangular in the space.The closed ground of the back wall surface of this maintaining part also cooperates in basically smooth mode and to abut against the outer surface of madial wall TIW.In the cutaway view of Fig. 2, the rear contact surface of the rear wall RHT of maintaining part HT extends abreast in basically straight mode and with madial wall TIW, and wherein said madial wall extends in basically straight mode.On the lower end of the rear wall RHT of maintaining part HT, bottom BHT is formed with respect to rectangle rear wall RHT with almost meeting at right angles.This bottom preferably arranges in the mode of panel.From above the top view seen, described bottom especially has the trapezoidal outline of regular shape.Thus, bottom BHT along its edge, back (this edge, back and rear wall RHT share) than wider along its front edge.Therefore, bottom BHT stretches out from door madial wall TIW with 90 ° angle roughly with respect to rear wall RHT.Weak point side flange section is molded on two longitudinal edges of rear wall RHT with about 90 ° angle.They are sightless for the operator in the cutaway view of Fig. 2 or in the normal use procedure of storage container BE1.

Fig. 5 shows a part of seeing storage container BE1 in the past from the rear wall RHT of maintaining part in the mode of cardinal principle perspective view.It is rectangle that laterally short side flange SW1 is molded on the upper also substrate of rear wall RHT.On the outer wall surface of this side flange SW1, this side flange SW1 has retaining element FM, engages in the corresponding receiving element of wherein said retaining element in the inner edge I R1 of door TU1.In this illustrative examples, retaining element FM is constructed to outwardly directed U-shaped support.Described support can insert in the groove, and wherein said groove is recessed into described support on the inner edge I R1 of door TU1 with being consistent and is omitted for the reason of doing the figure simplification in Fig. 5.In this case, maintaining part HT can be assembled on the relative position of two vertical longitudinal edges of inner frame IR1 of a TU1 removedly via two molded and shaped short side flange.Naturally also can utilize other fixer or locking utensil that maintaining part HT is assembled on the madial wall TIW of a TU1.Particularly, be clamped and connected or connector to connect can be favourable, allow easy assembling in the time of on corresponding reception utensil on the both sides that maintaining part HT are assembled to inner frame IR1 or the receiver socket, and maintaining part HT is taken out easily in permission or disengaging connects from this suspending.Thus, the purpose in order to clean for example, maintaining part HT can easily be removed with the madial wall TIW of user-friendly mode from door TU1.In the same way, maintaining part HT can be mounted in other place at the differing heights position of madial wall TIW on the set fixer or on the grasping device.

If necessary, also can omit the SW1 for example of side flange section on the rear wall RHT of support HT.This means that maintaining part only comprises bottom BHT and rear wall RHT, and when side direction is watched, have L shaped geometry.In this case, as required, the rear wall RHT of maintaining part HT is locked or be fixed on the madial wall TIW of a TU1 by means of one or more corresponding fixers.

In the first example, acceptance division AT is set to the case of opening.When watching from the top, the outline of described acceptance division is trapezoidal equally basically.In this case, the outline of described acceptance division is widened from front to back.This figure shows from downside and sees storage container BE1 in the past shown in the perspective view of Fig. 4.(see in front view) in this illustrative examples, box-shaped acceptance division AT comprises the panel-shaped bottom BAT that substantial horizontal is arranged in the past; The rear wall RAT of perpendicular; The antetheca VAT of perpendicular; And the sidewall of two perpendicular, wherein said sidewall links together antetheca VAT and rear wall RAT.Showing the rear wall RAT of acceptance division AT according to the perspective view of Fig. 5 is connected with relief angle between the sidewall SE1.In this case, sidewall, antetheca VAT and rear wall RAT are with respect to the panel-shaped bottom BAT perpendicular that basically specifically is positioned at horizontal plane.

By means of the swivel joint DS in the zone of the lower front edge SK of acceptance division, acceptance division AT rotatably installs in the zone at the front edge HK of the bottom of maintaining part HT BHT (seeing Fig. 4) place.In this illustrative examples, the swivel joint DS in the forefoot area of bottom BAT is with respect to the leading edge SK of the acceptance division mobile one predetermined limit of covering up a little backward.In this case, in Fig. 2, represent that by four-headed arrow VS swivel joint DS is with respect to the Strategic Lateral Offset of the lower leading edge SK of acceptance division AT.Swivel joint DS is positioned at the downside of the bottom BAT of acceptance division AT.In this position that arranges a little backward, described swivel joint is connected to the downside of the bottom BAT of acceptance division AT the front edge of the bottom BHT of maintaining part HT.In this illustrative examples, swivel joint by along the basically straight leading edge of the bottom BHT of support HT or front edge along axis longitudinally hinge form.Swivel joint comprises two holder element BU1, BU2 (seeing Fig. 4), and wherein said holder element is positioned in the zone at the front edge SK place of acceptance division on the downside of bottom BAT of acceptance division AT; And relevant bolt element or pin element BO, it is along the leading edge of the panel-shaped bottom BHT of support HT.These two holder element BU1, BU2 are molded in the horizontal and axially extended end regions of the lower leading edge SK of the bottom of acceptance division AT BAT respectively on the downside of bottom BAT of acceptance division AT (seeing Fig. 4).Cutaway view according to Fig. 2 shows the storage container BE1 that is positioned at the first holder element BU 1 region.As watching in cutaway view, the holder element BU1 form of being constructed to is the reception shell of part circular.Particularly, described holder element is molded on the downside of bottom BAT as bandy convex grasping part.Described holder element is used as one type part sleeve, is shaped as minute section of part circular during the watching in cutaway view of the outer surface of its sealing bolt element BO.Vertical beading/beading (bead) that bolt element BO is extended vertically by the whole leading edge along the bottom BHT of support HT or the vertical band (strand) that enlarges form.In the first example, traverse this vertical beading that the whole width of the bottom BHT of maintaining part H1 extends and be configured to, it has the columniform form of part in the top side of bottom BHT and downside regional and on the front side.Claw from from the downside body of maintaining part HT to downward-extension describes that the outline of the interior profile of seat element BU1 and bolt element BO is roughly accordingly by compatibly molded and shaped.Therefore, holder element BU1 is used as for the carrying shell of bolt element BO or hinged cup, and allows acceptance division AT rotatablely moving or banking motion around the radiused surface section of bolt element BO.In this case, the central axis of bolt element or pin element BO has formed the banking motion of acceptance division AT or the rotation DA that rotatablely moves.For purposes of the present invention, bolt element BO interlocks in friction tight mode basically in relevant holder element, thus acceptance division along the front edge of the bottom BHT of maintaining part HT vertically vertically, namely the drawing with respect to Fig. 2 or 3 vertically is axially locked.

In the final plant closure position SP according to Fig. 2, the bottom BAT of acceptance division AT is positioned at the bottom BHT top of maintaining part HT and in parallel.Particularly, in this case, the edge, posterior angle of acceptance division AT or lower back edge HK sit idly at the bottom of maintaining part HT BHT.Therefore, in the final plant closure position, bottom BAT, BHT self ground settle and basically extend with the right angle with respect to the rear wall RHT of maintaining part HT.There is insignificant angle between the solid bottom BHT that this means at maintaining part HT and the rotatably mounted bottom BAT of acceptance division AT, is about 0 ° angle.In Fig. 2, this final plant closure position of acceptance division AT represents by dotted line SP, and it extends past the rotation of swivel joint DS and extends with flat inboard TIW or the panel-shaped rear wall RHT of maintaining part HT substantially parallelly.Between this mark straight line SP and bottom BAT, form about 90 ° angle.Rotation DA (seeing Fig. 4) through swivel joint DS generally perpendicularly extends with the drawing plane of Fig. 2.

If acceptance division AT is spurred forward and towards the operator from this final plant closure position SP, then then described acceptance division forwards tilt to open position from the substantially horizontal plane of orientation that it is positioned at the final plant closure position.In this case, tensile force f Z vertically is applied in respect to the antetheca VAT of acceptance division AT, and points to forward towards the operator.This has caused acceptance division AT around the rotation DA of swivel joint DS (seeing Fig. 4) partial rotation motion in the counterclockwise direction.

In this case, acceptance division AT settles obliquely with respect to its original level situation at final plant closure position SP.Fig. 3 shows the schematic cross sectional views of the acceptance division AT that is in final open position.In this case, final open position represents by mark dotted line OP, and this mark dotted line extends past the rotation of swivel joint DS and with respect to the mark line SP of the final plant closure position inclination angle KW that tilts.Particularly, final open position OP can by on the acceptance division AT and/or maintaining part HT on and/or swivel joint originally with it locking utensil determined in advance.These are also not shown in the cutaway view of Fig. 2 and 3.At the final open position OP of Fig. 3, the bottom BAT of acceptance division AT is tilted the location with respect to the horizontal bottom BHT of maintaining part HT with inclination angle KW.Between two bottoms BAT, BHT, produce the approximate wedge shape gap.Owing to be in the sloped position of the acceptance division AT of final open position OP, the top opening of box-shaped acceptance division AT points to towards associative operation person ground more than final plant closure position SP now.With respect to clearance height, the available space of door storage container is therefore than more touching in the final plant closure position, this is because because so that the antetheca VAT of acceptance division AT tilts, the upper loading edge of described acceptance division is lower with respect to the position height of the top edge of the acceptance division AT that is in the final plant closure position.Thus, the available inside of acceptance division AT can be loaded or unload more easily.Compare with the Fomento dish of the traditional structure of the pivot bearings with lateral arrangement, advantageously allow acceptance division to be turned further frontward and thereby allow it to load edge further to descend to the pivot bearings in the face zone that moves forward to acceptance division.

If acceptance division tilts to a open position between its final plant closure position SP and its final open position OP from its final plant closure position SP, then the lower back edge HK of acceptance division AT has embodied the part of desired rotation circle.This rotation is circular to be illustrated by the broken lines in Fig. 2 and 3, and is marked by Reference numeral K.From the SP of final plant closure position, the back edge HK of acceptance division AT tangentially moves up with respect to the circular K of the rotation of this expectation and shifts out from maintaining part HT.This has prevented that basically back edge HK from abutting against any brushing of the rear wall RHT of maintaining part HT.In other words, the lower edge HK of acceptance division AT is following desired arc section uniquely in the inside of maintaining part HT in the process of acceptance division banking motion.Thus, back edge HK does not namely contact with rear wall RHT yet and does not intersect with rear wall RHT.Therefore, the free inclination motion between its final plant closure position SP and its final open position OP of acceptance division AT or to rotatablely move be feasible.

If the operator discharges the top leading edge of acceptance division AT, then acceptance division AT since its intrinsic weight independently from the rotation of its current open position and get back to its final plant closure position SP.The appearance of this situation is because of each open position between final plant closure position SP and final open position OP, and the center of gravity MS of acceptance division AT still is positioned on the side of the fixedly rear wall RHT sensing of maintaining part HT and is no more than the rotation of swivel joint DS.Because pivot bearings DS onwards installs in the zone of the front lower edge SK of acceptance division AT, so a clean reseting torque (net restoring torque) is applied to acceptance division in the final plant closure position of acceptance division with relative open position between the final open position by means of the intrinsic weight of acceptance division, wherein, described moment can be got back to its final plant closure position SP in the mode of return spring so that acceptance division AT overturns independently or independently.

In order to illustrate that more clearly a clean reseting torque is applied to the mode at the acceptance division AT of the relative open position between final plant closure position SP and the final open position OP, the intrinsic gravity F of the acceptance division AT that has for example marked at the center of gravity MS place of acceptance division T at the final open position of Fig. 3.This gravity points to vertically downward, and namely this gravity extends with the inner vertical walls TIW of door TU1 substantially parallelly.This gravity F applies the moment RM2 with respect to the lever arm between the rotation DA of the desired extension line of the force vector of gravity F and swivel joint DS (lever arm) S2.Therefore, lever arm S2 vertically extends from the pivotal point of the swivel joint DS desired extension line with respect to the force vector of gravity F.With respect to acceptance division AT, described lever arm is positioned on that side of the rear wall RHT of the HT of fixed reception section.Therefore, do not have larger tensile force f Z to be applied to acceptance division AT if the operator discharges acceptance division AT, then reseting torque RM2 back into it in the starting position of final plant closure position SP in the mode of return spring with acceptance division AT.At final plant closure position SP, the center of gravity MS of acceptance division AT is than the rear wall RHT at open position, the especially final more close fixedly maintaining part of open position RHT.The gravity F that has with respect to the lever arm S1 of the rotation of swivel joint DS is applied to center of gravity M.This lever arm S1 between the extension line of the expectation of the rotation of swivel joint DS and force vector F is longer than the lever arm S2 of final open position.Therefore, apply the reseting torque RM1 larger than the reseting torque RM2 of final open position OP in the final plant closure position.

At each open position, especially at final open position OP, the front top edge of the antetheca VAT of acceptance division AT has than the larger distance of final plant closure position SP or larger interval ITI.At the final plant closure position of Fig. 2 SP, the top leading edge of the antetheca VAT of acceptance division AT is represented by four-headed arrow STI apart from the distance of the top leading edge of acceptance division AT.The distance of the top leading edge of acceptance division AT ratio in the situation of final plant closure position SP is little in the situation of final open position OP.

Inclination angle KW for final open position OP advantageously is selected to, and in the process of banking motion, the center of gravity MS of acceptance division AT always is positioned at respect to swivel joint on that side of the rear wall sensing of fixed reception section.At the final open position OP of acceptance division, acceptance division AT is preferably with respect to its final plant closure position inclination angle KW that turns forward, and wherein said inclination angle is between 10 ° and 70 ° and specifically between 20 ° and 40 °.

Particularly, be applied to substantially: swivel joint moves forward more at the lower leading edge of acceptance division, then exists the selection at inclination angle of clean reseting torque just larger along the fixing direction of the bottom of maintaining part.

If swivel joint is installed at the downside according to the bottom of the acceptance division AT of embodiment, and is basically invisible with respect to the operator when then swivel joint is observed forwardly.Particularly, if swivel joint arranges a predetermined limit of covering up to returning a little with respect to the lower front edge SK of acceptance division AT, then in front view, when namely the past is watched, swivel joint even be hidden from the lower limb SK of acceptance division AT more efficiently.

Because sightless swivel joint (seeing over from front view top) basically, it is transparent advantageously acceptance division or receiving vessel can being arranged to it.Particularly, receiving vessel is made by transparent plastic or glass.Correspondingly, transparent material also can be used for maintaining part suitably.Particularly, acceptance division and maintaining part are all made by same plastics.

If necessary, also can suitably swivel joint DS be right after ground, namely directly be installed on the lower leading edge of acceptance division, namely in the edge of acceptance division AT SK.In other words, thus can be suitably directly along lower leading edge, the piecewise of acceptance division or along its axial length at least one swivel joint is set continuously.

Fig. 4 has schematically shown the perspective view of seeing the receiving vessel BE 1 of Fig. 1 to 3 in the past from rear side.Two holder element BU1, BU2 are arranged on left side and right side, namely are arranged in the end regions of axially extended feather edge SK at the downside of the bottom of acceptance division AT BAT.Therefore, the first holder element BU1 partial-length and extend abreast with straight feather edge SK vertically.Correspondingly, same situation is applied to the second holder element BU2, and wherein said the second holder element is molded and shaped to the downside of bottom BAT in the zone of the opposite ends of feather edge SK.In the mode of interlocking, the first holder element BU1 and the second holder element BU2 surround beading or the expansion section along whole width side installation of bolt element BO.Therefore, bolt element BO extends along the whole width of the leading edge HK of the bottom BHT of maintaining part HT.If necessary, can also be arranged to the relevant axial section setting of the longitudinal extension part of the bolt element BO holder element BO1 that the edge is relevant uniquely or BO2.Then, only the piecewise is molded and shaped on the leading edge of the bottom of support HT BHT for bolt element BO.

Substantially, can also be arranged to be provided at acceptance division AT bottom BAT front edge SK whole width, be a plurality of holder elements that distribute in the whole axial length.Then described a plurality of holder element disposes the bolt element section in the lower leading edge zone that is positioned at acceptance division of respective numbers suitably, and the outline of bolt element section corresponds respectively to the interior profile of holder element.The single bolt element that extends along the whole axial length of the lower leading edge of acceptance division also can be set naturally.Particularly, enough is to be centered in partial-length single holder element is set in the zone of the lower leading edge of acceptance division, and arranges on corresponding bolt or the pin element in the forefoot area of maintaining part.

In for above-mentioned remodeling, as the replacement such as the holder element of the segmentation separately of BU1, BU2, if necessary can the holder element that extend along the whole axial length of the leading edge of bottom BHT be set at the bottom of acceptance division AT BHT.Alternatively, same particularly advantageous be with at least one holder element for example BU1, BU2 be directly installed on the lower leading edge of acceptance division AT, thereby so that rotation even more to reach and provide and guarantee enough reseting torques even larger inclination angle.

Alternatively, the holder element of correspondence and arrangement or the configuration structure of bolt element can be put upside down equally.This means that then relevant holder element is installed in the zone that is in its front on the downside of bottom BHT of maintaining part HT or is located immediately on its front.For this purpose, relevant bolt element arranges in the zone of the lower front edge SK of acceptance division AT.

Because the swivel joint with lateral flange on the both sides of acceptance division is omitted, and compares with traditional Fomento dish, the larger layout free degree is feasible with respect to outline and the interior profile of maintaining part and acceptance division.Particularly, acceptance division can be wider than the situation of the Fomento dish that is laterally hinged with in tradition towards the madial wall of door.The acceptance division of the Fomento dish of the present invention's structure preferably can have trapezoidal geometry in top view, wherein, the reception cabin of acceptance division is widened backward towards the madial wall of door.In this case, the available locker room between two longitudinal framing sections of the inner frame of door can utilize more efficiently.

The maintaining part of acceptance division and coupling obviously can be set to other geometry, for example in top view from above see in the past the outer and inner profile of rectangle.

Owing to lack the swivel joint with lateral flange, they are thinner than the wall of traditional Fomento dish so the wall of the maintaining part of Fomento dish constructed according to the invention and acceptance division can be configured to.Acceptance division and especially maintaining part can be configured to equally them be transparent.These two parts are preferably made by same plastics or glass.

Because swivel joint is to the feather edge that moves forward to acceptance division, so only pass through the intrinsic weight generation reseting torque of acceptance division with the relative receiving position between the final open position in the final plant closure position of acceptance division.Thus, acceptance division independently or independently tilts to its final plant closure position to returning when being discharged by relevant operator.This has prevented that when described door is closed acceptance division from stretching out too much from the madial wall of door.Therefore, when closing, the acceptance division of Fomento dish constructed according to the invention abut against internal part or in the interior compartment of electric refrigerator any unexpected brushing of not expecting of stores to be cooled basically avoided.Therefore, guaranteed that door can always be closed without prejudicely.Because acceptance division independently to returning banking motion to its final plant closure position, only uses configuration to its chamber or space so guarantee described acceptance division automatically, even this is when closing.Therefore, operator no longer need (as the situation at traditional Fomento dish of the swivel joint with lateral flange) remember closing door before with acceptance division to pushing back to fixing maintaining part.Return banking motion owing to what the intrinsic weight by acceptance division produced from trend, so when loading and unloading Fomento dish, therefore obtained larger function convenience.

For predetermined needles to the final open position OP of acceptance division AT (in this position, still guaranteed along the clean reseting torque of the direction of final plant closure position SP), be arranged to suitably that one or more locking utensils are positioned at the acceptance division AT of relevant storage container and/or fixedly on the maintaining part HT.In the situation according to the storage container BE1 of Fig. 1 to 4, these locking utensils are implemented at undercut or the protuberance that the rear side of acceptance division AT approaches in two folding corner regions of bottom by means of the ribbon element of maintaining part and acceptance division.Fig. 5 shows the perspective view of storage container BE1 from the rear, namely the rear side from lower-left (near the bottom) folding corner region of acceptance division AT is seen over.On the rear wall RAT of acceptance division, acceptance division AT has ribbon element VS1, and it is laterally protruding.This ribbon element in abutting connection with and divide section concordant with the bottom of rear wall RAT.At final open position OP, this ribbon element is grasped in ribbon element HI1 back, and wherein said ribbon element HI1 extends towards the sidewall SE1 of acceptance division AT from the SW1 of side flange section of maintaining part HT.At final open position OP, ribbon element VS1 settles obliquely with respect to the fixed vertical ribbon element HI1 of maintaining part HT, thereby stops or limited further forward the banking motion of acceptance division AT.Therefore, between these two ribbon element HI1, VS1, provide one type displacement at final plant closure position OP.On the opposition side of acceptance division, between the ribbon element of the ribbon element on the side edge part of fixing maintaining part and rotatably mounted acceptance division, provide similarly undercut or the protuberance of corresponding displacement.

In illustrative examples, acceptance division AT has the depression between its rear wall RAT and its sidewall SE1, and the SW1 of side flange section of maintaining part HT sits idly in described depression in friction tight mode basically at final plant closure position SP.In this case, the sidewall SE1 of acceptance division AT with the horizontal drawing of mode of setovering with respect to the rear vertical longitudinal edge of the rear wall RAT of acceptance division AT, namely widens with respect to rear wall RAT.Corresponding layout is relatively vertically arranging between acceptance division and maintaining part on the side in the folding corner region of receiving vessel BE1 equally.

As substituting of this locking utensil on the rear side, obviously also can spacing utensil originally be set with it at swivel joint, so that turning forward, acceptance division AT moves to final open position.For example, can arrange on relevant holder element and stretch out hook portion, the wherein said hook portion of stretching out engages in the corresponding groove on the downside of described final open position in the fixing bottom of maintaining part.In addition, other stops that utensil or locking utensil obviously also can be used for restriction acceptance division banking motion forward.Particularly, can be integrally formed in swivel joint itself for the limiter of restriction acceptance division banking motion forward.For example, this can be closed and realize by means of being frictionally engaged between the holder element of swivel joint and the relevant bolt element, form closure and/or power at desired final open position.
