Description
Kältegerät und Türabstellfach dafür Refrigerator and door storage compartment therefor
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät und ein Abstellfach zur Montage an einer Innenseite einer Tür des Kältegerätes.The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a storage compartment for mounting on an inside of a door of the refrigerator.
Die Türen von Kältegeräten, insbesondere von Haushaltskühlschränken, sind an ihrer Innenseite meist mit Türabstellfächern ausgestattet, von denen zumindest das tiefst- gelegene vorgesehen ist, um Getränkeflaschen oder andere hochformatige Behälter aufzunehmen. Der höchste Behälter, der in einem solchen Abstellfach gelagert wird, bestimmt den Abstand, den ein darüberliegendes Abstellfach haben muß.The inside of the doors of refrigeration appliances, in particular of domestic refrigerators, is usually equipped with door storage compartments, at least the deepest one of which is provided to hold drinks bottles or other portrait-sized containers. The highest container that is stored in such a storage compartment determines the distance that an overlying storage compartment must have.
In den letzten Jahren sind für Erfrischungsgetränke zunehmend Kunststoff-Flaschen mit einem Volumen von 1 ,5 oder 2 I in Gebrauch gekommen, die deutlich höher sind als herkömmliche Glasflaschen, deren Fassungsvermögen meist im Bereich zwischen 0,5 und 1 I liegt. Wenn diese Kunststoff-Flaschen gemeinsam mit anderen Flaschen von kleinerem Format in einem Türabstellfach gelagert werden sollen, ergibt sich eine ungünstige Raumausnutzung, da der Abstand vom Flaschen-Abstellfach zum darüberliegenden Fach so groß sein muss, dass die größte zu lagernde Flasche ohne Schwierigkeiten eingestellt werden kann, aber im allgemeinen nur wenige der Flaschen im Flaschenabstellfach diese Höhe haben.In recent years, plastic bottles with a volume of 1, 5 or 2 l have been increasingly used for soft drinks, which are significantly higher than conventional glass bottles, whose capacity is usually in the range between 0.5 and 1 l. If these plastic bottles are to be stored together with other bottles of smaller format in a door storage compartment, there is an unfavorable use of space, since the distance from the bottle storage compartment to the overlying compartment must be so large that the largest bottle to be stored can be adjusted without difficulty can, but generally only a few of the bottles in the bottle storage compartment have this height.
Um dieses Problem zu lindern, sind Türen für Kältegeräte mit einem vertikalen Mittelholm entwickelt worden, der es erlaubt, Türabstellfächer, die sich jeweils nur über die Hälfte der Türbreite erstrecken, rechts und links vom Mittelholm in unterschiedlichen Höhen zu montieren. Diese z.B. in DE-GM 90 14 463 beschriebene Lösung ist jedoch nicht vollauf befriedigend, da der Mittelholm selber Platz in Anspruch nimmt, der für die Lagerung von Kühlgut nicht mehr zur Verfügung steht.In order to alleviate this problem, doors for refrigeration appliances with a vertical central spar have been developed, which allow door storage compartments, which each only extend over half the door width, to be mounted at different heights to the right and left of the central spar. These e.g. However, the solution described in DE-GM 90 14 463 is not entirely satisfactory since the central strut itself takes up space which is no longer available for the storage of refrigerated goods.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher, ein Türabstellfach und ein mit einem solchen Fach ausgestattetes Kältegerät zu schaffen, die eine intensive Nutzung des verfügbaren Lagervolumens ermöglichen.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß zum einen durch ein Türabstellfach für ein Kältegerät gelöst, das aus wenigstens einem Abschnitt mit voller Tiefe und wenigstens einem Abschnitt geringerer Tiefe aufgebaut ist, die in Längsrichtung des Türabstellfaches aufeinanderfolgen.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a door storage compartment and a refrigerator equipped with such a compartment, which enable intensive use of the available storage volume. According to the invention, this object is achieved on the one hand by a door storage compartment for a refrigeration appliance, which is constructed from at least one section with full depth and at least one section with a lesser depth, which follow one another in the longitudinal direction of the door storage compartment.
Dieses Türabstellfach kann an der Innenseite einer Kältegerätetür in einem vertikalen Abstand von einem darunterliegenden Flaschenabstellfach montiert werden, der kleiner ist als die Höhe der höchsten im Flaschenabstellfach zu lagernden Flaschen. Wenn nämlich eine hohe Flasche unterhalb des Abschnittes geringerer Tiefe des erfindungsgemäßen Türabstellfachs eingestellt wird, kann ihr Flaschenhals an dem Abschnitt geringerer Tiefe vorbei nach oben überstehen. Dieser Abschnitt geringerer Tiefe kann für die Lagerung kleiner Gegenstände wie z.B. Tuben benutzt werden. So ist eine ähnlich dichte Höhenstaffelung der Abstellfächer an der Tür erreichbar wie bei einer Tür mit Mittelholm, allerdings mit dem zusätzlichen Vorteil, daß in Höhe der Hälse der hohen Flaschen zusätzlicher Abstellplatz in Form des Abschnittes geringerer Tiefe zur Verfügung steht.This door storage compartment can be mounted on the inside of a refrigerator door at a vertical distance from an underlying bottle storage compartment, which is smaller than the height of the highest bottles to be stored in the bottle storage compartment. Namely, if a tall bottle is set below the lower depth section of the door storage compartment according to the invention, its bottle neck can protrude past the lower depth section. This shallower depth section can be used for storing small items such as Tubes are used. So a similarly dense leveling of the storage compartments on the door can be achieved as with a door with a central spar, but with the additional advantage that additional storage space in the form of the section of lower depth is available at the level of the necks of the tall bottles.
Um einen stabilen, verkippungsfreien Stand hoher Flaschen im Flaschenabstellfach zu gewährleisten, ist die Tiefe des Abschnittes geringerer Tiefe vorzugsweise kleiner als die Hälfte der Tiefe des Abschnittes voller Tiefe, welche im allgemeinen auch der Tiefe des Flaschenabstellfaches entspricht.In order to ensure a stable, tilt-free stand of tall bottles in the bottle storage compartment, the depth of the section of shallower depth is preferably less than half the depth of the section of full depth, which generally also corresponds to the depth of the bottle storage compartment.
Vorzugsweise sind die Abschnitte unterschiedlicher Tiefe des Türabstellfaches jeweils durch eine Zwischenwand getrennt. Diese trägt zur Stabilität des Türabstellfaches bei und verhindert eine Durchbiegung bei Belastung.The sections of different depths of the door storage compartment are preferably each separated by an intermediate wall. This contributes to the stability of the door storage compartment and prevents bending under load.
Als weitere die Stabilität erhöhende Maßnahme ist ein horizontaler Verstärkungssteg an der Zwischenwand sinnvoll. Dieser horizontale Verstärkungssteg bildet vorzugsweise einen oberen Abschluß der Zwischenwand.As a further measure to increase stability, a horizontal reinforcement web on the intermediate wall is useful. This horizontal reinforcement web preferably forms an upper end of the intermediate wall.
Die Aufgabe wird ferner gelöst durch ein Kältegerät mit einem Gehäuse und einer Tür, wobei an der Tür oberhalb eines ersten Türabstellfaches für Flaschen ein zweites Türabstellfach vom oben definierten Typ montiert ist.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Figuren. Es zeigen:The object is further achieved by a refrigeration device with a housing and a door, a second door storage compartment of the type defined above being mounted on the door above a first door storage compartment for bottles. Further features and advantages of the invention result from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached figures. Show it:

Figur 5 eine Abwandlung des Türabstellfachs.Figure 5 shows a modification of the door storage compartment.
Ein in Figur 1 gezeigtes Türabstellfach 11 umfaßt zwei Abschnitte 1 , 2, jeweils im wesentlichen in Form eines an der Oberseite offenen Kastens. Der Abschnitt 1 hat eine "volle" Tiefe, d.h. seine Tiefe ist ausreichend, um z.B. den Boden einer marktüblichen 1 ,5 Liter- oder 2 Liter-PET-Getränkeflasche aufzunehmen. Die Tiefe des zweiten Abschnittes 2 beträgt weniger als die Hälfte derjenigen des ersten Abschnittes, vorzugsweise 30 bis 40 % davon. Dies ermöglicht es, in einem an der gleichen Türinnenseite wie das gezeigte Türabstellfach unterhalb von diesem montierten Türabstellfach voller Tiefe eine große Getränkeflasche aufzustellen, deren Hals in Höhe des Abschnittes 2 liegt, ohne daß dieser gegen die Flasche stößt und deren stabile Aufstellung behindert.A door storage compartment 11 shown in FIG. 1 comprises two sections 1, 2, each essentially in the form of a box open at the top. Section 1 has a "full" depth, i.e. its depth is sufficient to e.g. the bottom of a standard 1, 5 liter or 2 liter PET beverage bottle. The depth of the second section 2 is less than half that of the first section, preferably 30 to 40% thereof. This makes it possible to set up a large beverage bottle in a depth on the same inside of the door as the door storage compartment shown below this door storage compartment, the neck of which is at the level of section 2, without it hitting the bottle and hindering its stable installation.
Um die Biegesteifigkeit des Türabstellfaches bei Beladung zu erhöhen, ist in dem Bereich, in dem die zwei Abschnitte 1 , 2 aneinandergrenzen, eine Zwischenwand 3 vorgesehen, die die dem Inneren des Kältegerätes zugewandten vorderen Wände 4, 5 der Abschnitte 1 , 2 mit einer beiden Abschnitten gemeinsamen, einteiligen Rückwand 6 verbindet, die in montiertem Zustand des Türabstellfaches an der Innenwand der Kältegerätetür anliegt. Die Zwischenwand 3 verhindert zum einen ein seitliches Ausweichen der Rückwand 6
unter Biegebelastung, zum anderen bildet sie eine Stütze für die vordere Wand 5 des Abschnittes 2 geringerer Tiefe.In order to increase the bending stiffness of the door storage compartment when loaded, an intermediate wall 3 is provided in the area in which the two sections 1, 2 adjoin one another, which covers the front walls 4, 5 of sections 1, 2 facing the interior of the refrigerator with one or the other Sections common, one-piece rear wall 6 connects, which abuts the inner wall of the refrigerator door in the assembled state of the door storage compartment. The intermediate wall 3 on the one hand prevents the rear wall 6 from moving sideways under bending stress, on the other hand it forms a support for the front wall 5 of the section 2 of lesser depth.
Um eine möglichst große Stabilität der Zwischenwand 3 gegen bei Biegebelastung von der vorderen Wand 5 ausgeübte horizontale Kräfte zu erreichen, schließt die Zwischenwand 3 an ihrem oberen Ende mit einem Verstärkungssteg 7 ab, wie im Schnitt der Figur 2 im Detail gezeigt ist.In order to achieve the greatest possible stability of the intermediate wall 3 against horizontal forces exerted by the front wall 5 when subjected to bending loads, the intermediate wall 3 closes at its upper end with a reinforcing web 7, as shown in detail in the section in FIG.
Eine nach unten offene Aussparung 8 am äußeren Längsende des Abschnittes 2 geringerer Tiefe sowie eine entsprechende, in der Figur nicht sichtbare Aussparung am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Abschnittes 1 voller Tiefe dienen zur Aufhängung des Türabstellfaches an Noppen 9 (siehe Figur 4), die an vertikalen Holmen 10 der Türinnenwand in regelmäßigen Abständen angeordnet sind, um eine Aufhängung der Türabstellfächer in unterschiedlichen Höhen zu ermöglichen.A downwardly open recess 8 at the outer longitudinal end of section 2 of lesser depth and a corresponding recess, not visible in the figure at the opposite end of section 1, serve to suspend the door storage compartment on knobs 9 (see FIG. 4) which are attached to vertical bars 10 of the inner wall of the door are arranged at regular intervals in order to allow the door storage compartments to be suspended at different heights.
Bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Beispiel ist die Längsausdehnung der zwei Abschnitte 1 , 2 die gleiche, d.h. die Zwischenwand 3 des montierten Türabstellfaches liegt etwa in der Mitte der Tür. Eine solche Aufteilung ist bei einem kompakten Kühlgerät zweckmäßig, wo die Längsausdehnung jedes Abschnittes 1 , 2 in etwa dem Durchmesser von zwei großen Getränkeflaschen entspricht. Selbstverständlich sind, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt, auch abweichende Proportionen möglich. Hier verhalten sich die Längen des Abschnittes 1 voller Tiefe und des Abschnittes 2 geringerer Tiefe etwa wie 3:1 , so daß in einem darunterliegenden Abstellfach eine großformatige Flasche unterhalb des Abschnittes 2 geringerer Tiefe aufgestellt werden kann.In the example shown in Figure 1, the longitudinal extent of the two sections 1, 2 is the same, i.e. the partition 3 of the assembled door storage compartment is approximately in the middle of the door. Such a division is useful in a compact cooling device, where the longitudinal extent of each section 1, 2 corresponds approximately to the diameter of two large beverage bottles. Of course, as shown in FIG. 3, different proportions are also possible. Here the lengths of section 1 of full depth and section 2 of shallower depth behave approximately as 3: 1, so that a large-format bottle can be placed below section 2 of shallower depth in a storage compartment below.
Figur 4 zeigt eine perspektivische Teilansicht der Türinnenwand eines Kühlgerätes, die mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Türabstellfach 11 ausgestattet ist. Ein weiteres Türabstellfach 12 von über seine gesamte Länge gleichbleibender Tiefe ist im unteren Bereich der Türinnenwand montiert. Dieses Fach 12 kann in seiner rechten Hälfte, unterhalb des Abschnittes 2 geringerer Tiefe, große Flaschen aufnehmen, während kompakte Behälter wie etwa Tetrapacks zweckmäßigerweise im linken Bereich, unterhalb des Abschnittes 1 voller Tiefe, eingestellt werden.
Es liegt auf der Hand, daß das erfindungsgemäße Türabstellfach nicht auf zwei Abschnitte von jeweils gleichbleibender Tiefe beschränkt ist. Zum Beispiel können drei Abschnitte vorhanden sein, zwei Abschnitte mit voller Tiefe und ein dazwischenliegender mit geringerer Tiefe, so daß in einem darunterliegenden Fach große Flaschen mittig eingestellt werden können und somit immer gleich gut erreichbar sind, egal ob die Tür rechts oder links angeschlagen ist.FIG. 4 shows a perspective partial view of the inside wall of a refrigerator, which is equipped with a door storage compartment 11 according to the invention. Another door storage compartment 12 of constant depth over its entire length is mounted in the lower region of the inner door wall. This compartment 12 can accommodate large bottles in its right half, below the section 2 of lesser depth, while compact containers such as tetra packs are expediently set in the left area, below the section 1 at full depth. It is obvious that the door storage compartment according to the invention is not limited to two sections each having a constant depth. For example, there can be three sections, two sections with full depth and an intermediate one with a shallower depth, so that large bottles can be placed in the center of an underlying compartment and are therefore always equally accessible, regardless of whether the door is hinged on the right or left.
Denkbar ist auch, die Tiefe des Abschnittes 2 geringerer Tiefe praktisch auf Null zu reduzieren, so daß ein derart ausgestaltetes Türabstellfach auch in einer Höhe unterhalb des Halses einer im darunterliegenden Fach eingestellten großen Flasche montierbar ist.It is also conceivable to reduce the depth of the section 2 of smaller depth practically to zero, so that a door storage compartment designed in this way can also be mounted at a height below the neck of a large bottle set in the underlying compartment.
Eine weitere Abwandlungsmöglichkeit ist, die Vorderwand 5 des Abschnittes 2 geringerer Tiefe schräg, nach unten zurückspringend, verlaufen zu lassen, um so das Türabstellfach in Höhe des Halsansatzes von darunter aufgestellten Flaschen montieren zu können. Bei einem in dieser Weise modifizierten Abschnitt geringerer Tiefe kann, wie in Figur 5 gezeigt, der Boden des Abschnittes weggelassen oder reduziert sein, um z.B. das vertikale Einstecken von Tuben zu ermöglichen.
Another possible modification is to allow the front wall 5 of the section 2 of lower depth to run obliquely, jumping back downwards, in order to be able to mount the door storage compartment at the level of the neck of bottles placed below it. With a section of this depth modified in this way, as shown in Figure 5, the bottom of the section may be omitted or reduced to e.g. to allow the vertical insertion of tubes.
