Description

Tür für ein Haushaltsgerät Door for a household appliance
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tür für ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere für ein Standgerät.The present invention relates to a door for a household appliance, in particular for a floor-standing appliance.
Herkömmlicherweise ist bei derartigen Haushaltsgeräten, insbesondere bei Kältegeräten, die Außenfläche der Tür eine große, funktionslose weiße Fläche, die allenfalls von manchen Anwendern genutzt wird, um daran Notizzettel anzuheften.Conventionally, in the case of such household appliances, in particular in the case of refrigeration appliances, the outer surface of the door is a large, non-functional white surface, which is used at best by some users in order to attach memos to it.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, eine Tür für ein Haushaltsgerät anzugeben, die dazu geeignet ist, einem Benutzer über die eigentliche Funktion des Haushaltsgerätes hinaus einen Zusatznutzen zu bieten und Platz in der Küche zu sparen.The object of the present invention is to provide a door for a household appliance which is suitable for providing a user with an additional benefit beyond the actual function of the household appliance and for saving space in the kitchen.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass an der Tür ein Aufnahmerahmen für Zusatzgeräte und/oder Gestaltungselemente vorhanden ist.The object is achieved in that a receiving frame for additional devices and / or design elements is provided on the door.
Um einen Überstand derartiger Zusatzgeräte über die Außenfläche der Tür hinaus gering zu halten, ist der Aufnahmerahmen vorzugsweise in die Außenfläche versenkt.In order to keep a protrusion of such additional devices low beyond the outer surface of the door, the receiving frame is preferably sunk into the outer surface.
Als ein Gestaltungselement kann im einfachsten Falle eine Blende dienen, die den gesamten Aufnahmerahmen oder Teile des Aufnahmerahmens, die nicht mit einem Zusatzgerät belegt sind, abdeckt und der Tür so ein ästhetisch befriedigendes Aussehen verleiht, auch wenn der Aufnahmerahmen nicht oder nicht vollständig für Zusatzgeräte genutzt ist.In the simplest case, a cover can serve as a design element, which covers the entire receiving frame or parts of the receiving frame that are not occupied by an additional device and thus gives the door an aesthetically satisfactory appearance, even if the receiving frame is not or not completely used for additional devices is.
Wenigstens ein Teil des Rahmens kann genutzt werden, um dort eine Anzeigevorrichtung einzufügen, die eingerichtet ist, Betriebsparameter des Haushaltsgerätes anzuzeigen. Herkömmliche Kältegeräte weisen eine solche Anzeigevorrichtung häufig an einer gehäusefesten Blende oberhalb der Tür auf. Die Anbringung einer solchen Anzeigevorrichtung an der Tür erlaubt es, die gleiche Anzeigevorrichtung auch im Bedarfsfalle für die Anzeige von Betriebsparametern eines in dem Aufnahmerahmen angebrachten Zusatzgerätes zu nutzen und aufgrund der Nähe zwischen dem Zusatzgerät und der Anzeigevorrichtung es für einen Benutzer augenfällig zu machen, dass die angezeigten Parameter zu dem Zusatzgerät gehören.At least part of the frame can be used to insert a display device there that is set up to display operating parameters of the household appliance. Conventional refrigeration devices often have such a display device on a panel fixed above the door. The attachment of such a display device on the door allows the same display device to be used if necessary for the display of operating parameters of an additional device mounted in the mounting frame and due to the proximity between the Additional device and the display device to make it obvious to a user that the displayed parameters belong to the additional device.
Die in dem Rahmen angebrachten Zusatzgeräte können unterschiedlichster Art sein, elektrisch betrieben oder ohne externe Energiezufuhr. Die Nutzung der Anzeigevorrichtung zum Anzeigen von Betriebsparametern der Zusatzgeräte bietet sich natürlich insbesondere bei elektrisch betriebenen Zusatzgeräten an.The additional devices installed in the frame can be of the most varied types, electrically operated or without external energy supply. The use of the display device for displaying operating parameters of the additional devices is of course particularly useful in the case of electrically operated additional devices.
Bei einem solchen Zusatzgerät kann es sich z.B. um ein einzelnes Messgerät für eine klimatische Größe wie etwa Temperatur, Luftdruck, Luftfeuchtigkeit oder eine Kombination solcher Geräte, auch als Wetterstation bezeichnet, handeln.Such an additional device can e.g. are a single measuring device for a climatic variable such as temperature, air pressure, air humidity or a combination of such devices, also known as a weather station.
Ein besonders praktisches Zusatzgerät ist eine Waage. Eine solche Waage lässt sich besonders platzsparend realisieren mit einer schwenkbaren Waagschale, die in einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung gegen den Rahmen geschwenkt ist, so dass sie nicht nennenswert über die Tür des Haushaltsgerätes übersteht.A particularly practical additional device is a scale. Such a scale can be realized in a particularly space-saving manner with a swiveling weighing pan which is pivoted against the frame in a non-use position, so that it does not protrude appreciably beyond the door of the household appliance.
Eine solche Waage kann, wie auch die bereits erwähnten Klimamessgeräte, mechanisch oder elektrisch arbeiten. Bei einer elektrisch betriebenen Waage ist bevorzugt, dass ein Ein-Aus-Schalter der Waage an die Waagschale so gekoppelt ist, dass die Waage durch Schwenken der Waagschale in eine Gebrauchsstellung eingeschaltet und durch Schwenken der Waagschale in die Nichtgebrauchsstellung ausgeschaltet wird.Such a balance, like the climate measuring devices already mentioned, can work mechanically or electrically. In the case of an electrically operated balance, it is preferred that an on-off switch of the balance be coupled to the weighing pan in such a way that the balance is switched on by swiveling the weighing pan into a position of use and switched off by pivoting the weighing pan into the non-use position.
Eine andere sinnvolle Möglichkeit ist, Geräte der Unterhaltungselektronik wie etwa ein Radio, einen CD-Spieler oder sogar ein Fernsehgerät in dem Rahmen unterzubringen.Another sensible option is to place entertainment electronics devices such as a radio, a CD player or even a television set in the frame.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Figuren. Es zeigen:Further features and advantages of the invention result from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached figures. Show it:

Figs. 6, 7, 8 jeweils ein Radiogerät, einen CD-Spieler bzw. eine Wetterstation als weitere Beispiele für Geräte, die in dem Rahmen der Tür montiert werden können.Figs. 6, 7, 8 each have a radio, a CD player or a weather station as further examples of devices which can be mounted in the frame of the door.
Fig. 1 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht des oberen Bereichs einer Tür für ein Standkältegerät. Die Tür ist in an sich bekannter Weise aufgebaut aus einer lackierten Blechplatte, die eine Frontseite 1 und seitliche Flanken 2 der Tür bildet, einer Rückwand aus Kunststoff, die mit von den Flanken 2 nach innen gebogenen Laschen der Blechplatte dicht verbunden ist, sowie oberen und unteren Abschlusselementen 3, ebenfalls aus Kunststoff, dem zusammen mit der Blechplatte und der Rückwand einen mit isolierendem Schaummaterial ausgefüllten Innenraum der Tür begrenzt. An der Frontseite 1 der Tür ist ein Aufnahmerahmen 4, hier in Form einer rechteckigen Vertiefung in der Frontseite, gebildet. Der Aufnahmerahmen 4 kann z.B. gebildet sein durch Ausstanzen einer rechtwinkligen Öffnung in der Frontseite 1 , Abknicken von die Öffnung umgebenden Randstreifen der Frontplatte in rechtem Winkel ins Innere der Tür und Montieren einer flachen Blech- oder Kunststoffschale 6, die in die so gebildete Öffnung von der Außenseite her eingeschoben wird oder von der Innenseite der Blechplatte über die abgeknickten Randstreifen 5 gestülpt wird.Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the upper portion of a door for a refrigerator. The door is constructed in a manner known per se from a lacquered sheet metal plate, which forms a front side 1 and side flanks 2 of the door, a rear wall made of plastic, which is tightly connected to tabs of the sheet metal plate bent inwards from the flanks 2, and upper and lower end elements 3, also made of plastic, which, together with the sheet metal plate and the rear wall, delimits an interior of the door filled with insulating foam material. On the front 1 of the door, a receiving frame 4, here in the form of a rectangular recess in the front, is formed. The receiving frame 4 can e.g. be formed by punching out a right-angled opening in the front side 1, kinking the edge strips of the front plate surrounding the opening at a right angle into the inside of the door and mounting a flat sheet metal or plastic shell 6 which is inserted into the opening thus formed from the outside or is slipped over the bent edge strips 5 from the inside of the sheet metal plate.
Am Boden der Schale 6 befinden sich elektrische Steckkontakte 7, die - je nach Ausgestaltung der Tür - für die Stromversorgung eines in dem Rahmen 4 montierbaren elektrischen Geräts oder auch für die Übertragung von Daten zwischen diesem Gerät und einer Steuerelektronik des Kältegerätes dienen. Bei der in Fig. 1 gezeigten elementaren Ausgestaltung ist kein Gerät zur Montage in dem Aufnahmerahmen 4 vorgesehen, sondern lediglich eine Dekorblende 8, die aus dem gleichen Material wie die Frontseite 1 besteht und eine Herstellerkennzeichnung oder graphische Elemente tragen kann. Die Dekorblende 8 ist hier der gleichen Weise wie die Frontseite 1 gewölbt, und entlang ihrer Seitenränder sind Laschen 9 rechtwinklig abgebogen, deren Länge exakt der Tiefe des Aufnahmerahmens 4 entspricht, so dass die Dekorblende 8 einfach von vorn in den Rahmen 4 eingesteckt werden kann und dann bündig mit der Frontseite 1 abschließt.At the bottom of the shell 6 there are electrical plug contacts 7 which, depending on the design of the door, serve for the power supply of an electrical device which can be mounted in the frame 4 or for the transmission of data between this device and control electronics of the refrigerator. In the elementary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, no device is provided for mounting in the receiving frame 4, but only a decorative panel 8, which is made of the same material as the front side 1 and can carry a manufacturer's identification or graphic elements. The decorative panel 8 is arched here in the same way as the front side 1, and tabs 9 are bent at right angles along their side edges, the length of which corresponds exactly to the depth of the receiving frame 4, so that the decorative panel 8 can simply be inserted into the frame 4 from the front and then ends flush with the front 1.
Bei der in Fig. 2 gezeigten abgewandelten Ausgestaltung der Kältegerätetür ist in einem Teil des Aufnahmerahmens 4 ein digitaler Anzeigeschirm 10, z.B. in Form einer LCD- Anzeige, angebracht, der zum Anzeigen von Betriebsparametern des Kältegeräts wie etwa den Temperaturen eines Gefrierfachs und eines Normalkühlfachs dient. Die Dekorblende 8 ist gegenüber der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 1 verkleinert, so dass sie nur die vom Anzeigeschirm 10 freigelassenen Bereich des Rahmens 4 abdeckt. Der Anzeigeschirm 10 ist lösbar im Aufnahmerahmen 4 befestigt und kann von einem Benutzer ausgebaut werden.In the modified embodiment of the refrigerator door shown in Fig. 2, a digital display screen 10, e.g. in the form of an LCD display, which is used to display operating parameters of the refrigerator, such as the temperatures of a freezer compartment and a normal refrigerator compartment. The decorative panel 8 is reduced in size compared to the embodiment in FIG. 1, so that it only covers the area of the frame 4 that is left free by the display screen 10. The display screen 10 is detachably fastened in the receiving frame 4 and can be removed by a user.
Zusatzgeräte, die anstelle der Dekorblende 8 in dem Aufnahmerahmen 4 zu montieren sind, können vom Hersteller des Kältegeräts in dem Aufnahmerahmen 4 bereits bei Herstellung des Kältegeräts vormontiert werden, oder sie können als separate, durch den Anwender nachrüstbare Zubehörteile vertrieben werden.Additional devices that are to be installed in the mounting frame 4 instead of the decorative panel 8 can be preassembled in the mounting frame 4 by the manufacturer of the refrigeration device during manufacture of the refrigeration device, or they can be sold as separate accessories that can be retrofitted by the user.
Als erstes Beispiel für ein solches Zusatzgerät zeigt Fig. 3 ein in dem Aufnahmerahmen montiertes Fernsehgerät 11 mit Flachbildschirm, z.B. in LCD-Technik. Um Frontfläche einzusparen, sind Bedienungsfunktionen des Fernsehgeräts 11 durch Verwendung eines berührungsempfindlichen Anzeigeschirms realisiert.As a first example of such an additional device, FIG. 3 shows a television set 11 with a flat screen mounted in the receiving frame, e.g. in LCD technology. In order to save front surface, operating functions of the television set 11 are implemented by using a touch-sensitive display screen.
Das Fernsehgerät 11 kann in dem Aufnahmerahmen der Ausgestaltung aus Fig. 1 montiert werden, wobei dann über die Steckkontakte 7 neben einer Versorgungsspannung auch ein Empfangssignal zugeführt werden muss. Es kann auch in der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 2 montiert werden, wenn vorher der Anzeigeschirm 10 entfernt wird. In diesem Fall muss das Fernsehgerät in Zeiten, in denen es nicht im Empfangsbetrieb ist, die Funktion des Anzeigeschirms 10 übernehmen, indem, wie in der Figur gezeigt, die anzuzeigenden Betriebsparameter des Kältegeräts auf dem Bildschirm des Fernsehgeräts 11 eingeblendet werden.The television set 11 can be mounted in the receiving frame of the embodiment from FIG. 1, in which case a receive signal must also be supplied via the plug contacts 7 in addition to a supply voltage. It can also be mounted in the embodiment of FIG. 2 if the display screen 10 is removed beforehand. In this case, the television must be switched on at times when it is not in the Receiving operation is to take over the function of the display screen 10 in that, as shown in the figure, the operating parameters of the refrigeration device to be displayed are displayed on the screen of the television set 11.
Die Figs. 4 und 5 zeigen als weiteres Beispiel für ein Zusatzgerät eine in den Aufnahmerahmen 4 der Tür aus Fig. 2 eingefügte Haushaltswaage 12. Die Waage hat eine Waagschale 13, die in einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, gegen denFigs. 4 and 5 show, as a further example of an additional device, a household scale 12 inserted into the receiving frame 4 of the door from FIG. 2. The scale has a weighing pan 13 which, in a non-use position, as shown in FIG
Aufnahmerahmen 4 geklappt ist und - bis auf eine Griffmulde 14 - bündig mit derRecording frame 4 is folded and - except for a recessed grip 14 - flush with the
Frontseite 1 abschließt. Die elektrisch betriebene Waage ist so lange ausgeschaltet, wie sich die Waagschale 13 in der Nichtgebrauchsstellung befindet. Durch Ausklappen der Waagschale 13 in die in Fig. 5 gezeigte, horizontale Gebrauchsstellung wird die Waage eingeschaltet. Gleichzeitig wird der Anzeigeschirm 10 umgeschaltet, so dass er nicht mehr die Betriebsparameter des Kältegerätes anzeigt, sondern ein von der Waage 12 gemessenes Gewicht, das in Form eines digitalen elektronischen Signals von einerFront 1 closes. The electrically operated scale is switched off as long as the weighing pan 13 is in the non-use position. The scale is switched on by folding out the weighing pan 13 into the horizontal position of use shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the display screen 10 is switched over so that it no longer shows the operating parameters of the refrigeration device, but rather a weight measured by the scale 12, which in the form of a digital electronic signal from a
Messelektronik der Waage 12 dem Anzeigeschirm 10 zugeführt wird. Wenn die Waagschale 13 wieder in die Nichtgebrauchsstellung hochgeklappt wird, schaltet sich dieMeasuring electronics of the scale 12 is fed to the display screen 10. When the weighing pan 13 is folded back into the non-use position, the switches
Waage 12 wieder aus, und der Anzeigeschirm 10 zeigt wieder die Betriebsparameter desBalance 12 again, and the display screen 10 again shows the operating parameters of the
Kältegeräts an.Refrigerator.
Andere Geräte, die in dem Aufnahmerahmen 4 montiert werden können, sind z.B. ein Radio 15, wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, ein CD-Spieler 16, wie in Fig. 7 gezeigt, ein Kassettenabspielgerät oder dergleichen. Ein numerischer oder alphanumerischer Anzeigeschirm 17, der bei solchen Geräten häufig vorhanden ist, um beim Radio eine eingestellte Frequenz oder einen Sender anzuzeigen bzw. beim CD-Spieler die Nummern einer gerade abgespielten Spur einer CD anzuzeigen, kann, wenn diese Geräte nicht genutzt werden, eingesetzt werden, um anstelle des Anzeigeschirms 10 aus Fig. 2, den er ersetzt, die Betriebsparameter des Kältegeräts anzuzeigen.Other devices that can be mounted in the receiving frame 4 are e.g. a radio 15 as shown in Fig. 6, a CD player 16 as shown in Fig. 7, a cassette player or the like. A numerical or alphanumeric display screen 17, which is often present in such devices, in order to indicate a tuned frequency or a station on the radio or to show the numbers of a track currently being played on a CD to the CD player, when these devices are not used are used to display the operating parameters of the refrigerator instead of the display screen 10 from FIG. 2, which it replaces.
Fig. 8 zeigt eine Wetterstation 18, die ebenfalls als Zusatzgerät in dem Aufnahmerahmen 4 montiert werden kann.
