Abstract
Description
Mehrtüriges Kältegerät mit beheizbarem Türholm Multi-door refrigerator with heated door handle
Eintürige Kältegeräte haben im Allgemeinen einen Korpus mit einem frontseitigen Rahmen und eine Tür, an deren Rückseite ein umlaufendes Dichtprofil angeordnet ist, das in geschlossener Stellung an dem Rahmen anliegt und einen Innenraum des Kältegerätes abdichtet. Bei einem mehrtürigen Kältegerät, bei dem an entgegengesetzten Seiten des Korpus angeschlagene Türen einen gleichen Innenraum verschließen, ist eine analoge Dichtwirkung erreichbar, wenn die Öffnung des Rahmens durch einen Holm zweigeteilt ist, so dass jede der Türen eine Teilöffnung vollständig überdecken kann. Diese Lösung wird jedoch vielfach als unbefriedigend empfunden, da ein fest montierter Holm den Zugriff auf den Innenraum erschwert. Es sind daher zweitürige Kältegeräte vorgeschlagen worden, bei denen der Holm an einer ersten der Türen montiert ist und in geschlossener Stellung der ersten Tür den Rahmen des Korpus so ergänzt, dass ein Dichtungsprofil der zweiten Tür im Wesentlichen lückenlos entweder an dem Rahmen oder dem Holm anliegen und so den Innenraum befriedigend abdichten kann. Ein Problem dieser Kältegeräte ist jedoch, dass eine Außenseite des Holmes durch einen Spalt zwischen einander gegenüberliegenden Flanken der zwei Türen hindurch dem Zustrom von Umgebungsluft ausgesetzt ist, mit der Folge, dass Luftfeuchtigkeit an dem Holm kondensiert, wenn keine geeigneten Gegenmaßnahmen getroffen werden.Single door refrigerators generally have a body with a front frame and a door at the rear of a circumferential sealing profile is arranged, which rests in the closed position on the frame and seals an interior of the refrigerator. In a multi-door refrigerator in which doors hinged on opposite sides of the body close a same interior, an analog sealing effect can be achieved if the opening of the frame is divided into two by a spar, so that each of the doors can completely cover a partial opening. However, this solution is often perceived as unsatisfactory, since a permanently mounted spar difficult access to the interior. There are therefore two-door refrigerators have been proposed in which the spar is mounted on a first of the doors and in the closed position of the first door, the frame of the body supplemented so that a sealing profile of the second door substantially completely abut either on the frame or the spar and so the interior can seal satisfactorily. However, a problem with these refrigerators is that an outside of the spar is exposed to the influx of ambient air through a gap between opposing flanks of the two doors, with the result that humidity will condense on the spar if no appropriate countermeasures are taken.
Es ist an sich gängige Praxis, den Rahmen von Kältegeräten zu beheizen, um der Kondenswasserbildung daran vorzubeugen. Die Beheizung erfolgt zumeist mit Hilfe einer im Korpus entlang des Rahmens verlegten Kältemittelleitung, die im Kältemittelkreislauf des Kältegerätes zwischen einem Verdichter und einem Verflüssiger angeordnet ist und infolgedessen von warmem Kältemittel unter hohem Druck durchflössen wird. Eine solche Kältemittelleitung auch durch den an einer der Türen befestigten und mit dieser beweglichen Holm zu verlegen, würde prohibitive Kosten verursachen, so dass zum Beheizen eines solchen Holmes in der Regel eine elektrische Heizeinrichtung vorgesehen wird. Bei einem einfachen, insbesondere einachsigen Aufbau des Tür und Korpus verbindenden Scharniers ist es ohne übermäßige Schwierigkeiten möglich, einen Versorgungsstromkreis der elektrischen Heizeinrichtung über das Scharnier zu führen, sei es in Form eines entlang der Scharnierachse zwischen Korpus und Tür verlaufenden elektrischen Kabels oder indem das üblicherweise aus Metall geformte Scharnier selber als elektrischer Leiter genutzt wird.It is a common practice to heat the frame of refrigeration appliances to prevent the formation of condensation. The heating is usually done with the help of a laid in the body along the frame refrigerant pipe, which is arranged in the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerator between a compressor and a condenser and consequently flows through hot refrigerant under high pressure. Such a refrigerant piping would also be caused by the rail mounted on one of the doors and movable with this, would cause prohibitive costs, so that for heating such a spar usually an electric heater is provided. In a simple, in particular uniaxial construction of the hinge connecting the door and the body, it is possible without excessive difficulties to guide a supply circuit of the electric heating device over the hinge, be it in the form of a hinge axis extending between the body and the door electrical cable or by the usually formed of metal hinge itself is used as an electrical conductor.
Insbesondere bei Einbaugeräten oder allgemeiner bei Geräten, deren Türen durch Dekorplatten beliebiger Art verblendet werden, um ihr Aussehen an das von benachbarten Möbeln oder Geräten anpassen zu können, sind häufig kompliziertere Scharnierkonstruktionen erforderlich, um die Türbewegung so zu führen, dass das Öffnen und Schließen der Tür nicht durch benachbarte Dekorplatten behindert wird. Diese Scharnierkonstruktionen haben meist mehrere im Laufe der Schwenkbewegung bewegliche Achsen, die sich zum Hindurchführen eines Kabels nicht eignen, und auch die elektrische Leitfähigkeit des Scharniers als Ganzes ist nicht immer gewährleistet.In particular, in built-in devices or more generally in devices whose doors are veneered by decorative panels of any kind to adapt their appearance to that of adjacent furniture or equipment, often more complicated hinge structures are required to guide the door movement so that the opening and closing of the Door is not obstructed by adjacent decorative panels. These hinge designs usually have several axes which are movable during the pivoting movement and are not suitable for passing a cable, and also the electrical conductivity of the hinge as a whole is not always guaranteed.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Kältegerät mit wenigstens zwei Türen, von denen eine einen beheizbaren Holm trägt, zu schaffen, bei der die Versorgung einer elektrischen Heizeinrichtung des Holmes mit Heizstrom unabhängig von der Bauart der die Türen und den Korpus miteinander verbindenden Scharniere auf einfache und zuverlässige Weise sichergestellt ist.Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with at least two doors, one of which carries a heatable spar, in which the supply of an electric heater of the spar with heating current regardless of the design of the doors and the body interconnecting hinges on simple and reliable manner is ensured.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass bei einem Kältegerät mit einem Korpus und einem Paar von an entgegengesetzten Seiten des Korpus angeschlagenen Türen, die gemeinsam einen ersten Innenraum begrenzen, wobei eine erste Tür des Paares einen Holm trägt, der in geschlossener Stellung der ersten Tür in den Innenraum eingreift, der eine Anlagefläche aufweist, an der in geschlossener Stellung beider Türen eine Rückseite der zweiten Tür anliegt, und der eine elektrische Heizeinrichtung enthält, an dem Korpus wenigstens ein Versorgungskontakt angebracht ist, über den ein Versorgungsstromkreis der elektrischen Heizeinrichtung geführt ist und der bei geschlossener erster Tür mit einem komplementären Kontakt der ersten Tür galvanisch verbunden ist.The object is achieved in that in a refrigerator with a body and a pair of hinged on opposite sides of the body doors, which together define a first interior, wherein a first door of the pair carries a spar, which in the closed position of the first door in engages the interior, which has a contact surface against which in the closed position of both doors a rear side of the second door, and which includes an electric heater, on the body at least one supply contact is attached, via which a supply circuit of the electric heater is guided and the when the first door is closed with a complementary contact of the first door is electrically connected.
Vorteilhafter Weise ist der Versorgungskontakt einem im elektrischen Stromkreis des Kältegeräts liegendem elektrischen Bauteil wie z.B. einem Display, einer Bedieneinheit oder einer Innenbeleuchtung oder dergleichen zugeordnet oder an diesen Bauteilen angeordnet. Da diese Bauteile wie z.B. die Innenraumbeleuchtung zu ihrem Betrieb ohnehin mit elektrischer Energie versorgt sein muss und zu diesem Zweck ggf. eine Versorgungsleitung durch die Wand des Korpus hindurchgeführt ist, kann die Heizeinrichtung des Holmes über diese Leitung auf einfache Weise mit versorgt werden, ohne dass hierfür eigens ein aufwändig abzudichtender Durchgang durch die Korpuswand geschaffen werden müsste.Advantageously, the supply contact is assigned to a lying in the electrical circuit of the refrigerator electrical component such as a display, an operating unit or interior lighting or the like or arranged on these components. Since these components such as the interior lighting for their operation anyway must be supplied with electrical energy and for this purpose, if necessary, a supply line is passed through the wall of the body, the heater of the spar can be supplied via this line in a simple manner, without For this purpose, a complicated sealed passage through the body wall would have to be created.
Eine zweite Ader des Versorgungsstromkreises kann über ein Scharnier geführt sein, das die erste Tür mit dem Korpus verbindet, sofern die Bauart und die verwendeten Werkstoffe des Scharniers dies zulassen.A second core of the supply circuit may be guided by a hinge which connects the first door to the body, as long as the type and materials of hinge used permit this.
Alternativ kann bevorzugtermaßen an dem Gehäuse der Innenraumbeleuchtung ein zweiter Versorgungskontakt angeordnet sein, der bei geschlossener erster Tür mit einem weiteren komplementären Kontakt der ersten Tür galvanisch verbunden ist.Alternatively, a second supply contact can preferably be arranged on the housing of the interior lighting, which is electrically connected with the first door closed with a further complementary contact of the first door.
Die Innenraumbeleuchtung kann angeordnet sein, um den ersten Innenraum zu beleuchten.The interior lighting may be arranged to illuminate the first interior.
Besonders zweckmäßig ist allerdings eine Ausgestaltung, bei der die Innenraumbeleuchtung angeordnet ist, um einen zweiten Innenraum zu beleuchten.However, a configuration in which the interior lighting is arranged in order to illuminate a second interior is particularly expedient.
In diesem Fall ist das Gehäuse der Innenraumbeleuchtung vorzugsweise an einer Trennwand zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Innenraum montiert.In this case, the housing of the interior lighting is preferably mounted on a partition wall between the first and the second inner space.
Der zweite Innenraum enthält vorzugsweise eine herausziehbare Schublade. Diese kann im herausgezogenen Zustand gut und vollständig von der Innenraumbeleuchtung ausgeleuchtet werden, selbst wenn diese vollständig an einer vorderen Kante der Trennwand angeordnet ist und nicht in den zweiten Innenraum eingreift.The second interior preferably includes a pull-out drawer. This can be well and completely illuminated by the interior lighting in the pulled-out state, even if it is completely arranged on a front edge of the partition wall and does not engage in the second interior.
Eine Frontplatte der Schublade kann zweckmäßigerweise eine Tür des zweiten Innenraumes bilden.A front panel of the drawer can expediently form a door of the second interior.
Als Versorgungskontakt kann insbesondere ein Schieber dienen, der in dem Gehäuse der Innenraumbeleuchtung in an sich bekannter Weise durch das Öffnen und Schließen einer Tür verschiebbar angeordnet ist, um die Innenraumbeleuchtung je nach Offnungszustand der Tür ein- und auszuschalten.As a supply contact can serve in particular a slide, in the housing of the interior lighting in a conventional manner by opening and closing a Door is slidably arranged to turn on and off the interior lighting depending on the opening state of the door.
Es kann auch der komplementäre Kontakt verschiebbar und durch eine Feder gegen den ersten Versorgungskontakt beaufschlagt sein.The complementary contact can also be displaceable and acted upon by a spring against the first supply contact.
Vorzugsweise ist der Holm mit der ersten Tür gelenkig verbunden, um zu ermöglichen, dass die erste Tür geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann, ohne dass hierfür die zweite Tür geöffnet werden muss.Preferably, the spar is pivotally connected to the first door to allow the first door to be opened and closed without having to open the second door therefor.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Figuren. Es zeigen:Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. Show it:

Fig. 4 einen zu Fig. 3 analogen Teilschnitt gemäß einer Abwandlung.Fig. 4 is a partial section analogous to Fig. 3 according to a modification.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht schräg von unten eines Kältegerätes gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Das Kältegerät hat einen Korpus 1 , an dessen zwei Seitenwänden 2, 3 jeweils eine Tür 4 bzw. 5 angelenkt ist. Der Korpus 1 hat einen zusammenhängenden Innenraum 7. An der Vorderseite des Korpus 1 erstreckt sich rings um den Innenraum 7 ein ebener Rahmen 6.Fig. 1 shows a perspective view obliquely from below of a refrigerating appliance according to a first embodiment of the invention. The refrigerator has a body 1, on whose two side walls 2, 3 each have a door 4 and 5 is articulated. The body 1 has a contiguous interior 7. At the front of the body 1 extends around the interior 7, a planar frame. 6
Die Türen 4, 5 tragen jeweils an ihren in geschlossener Stellung dem Korpus 1 zugewandten Rückseiten rahmenförmig umlaufende magnetische Dichtprofile 8. An die schmalere 4 der beiden Türen ist ein vertikaler Holm 9 schwenkbar angelenkt. Der Holm 9 hat an oberen und unteren Stirnflächen jeweils eine Führungsnut 10. Die Führungsnuten 10 sind so angeordnet, dass wenn die Tür 4 aus der in der Fig. gezeigten Stellung in die am Rahmen 6 anliegende geschlossene Stellung geschwenkt wird, an Decke und Boden des Korpus 1 angeordnete Führungszapfen 1 1 in die Nuten 10 einrücken und, indem sie in diesen entlang gleiten, eine Schwenkbewegung des Holmes 9 in Bezug auf die Tür 4 antreiben. Am Ende dieser Schwenkbewegung, wenn die Tür 4 am Rahmen 6 anliegt, ist eine breite Vorderseite 12 des Holmes 9 mit dem Rahmen 6 bündig. Wenn nun die Tür 5 in die geschlossene Stellung geschwenkt wird, kommt deren Dichtprofil 8 einerseits am Rahmen 6 und andererseits an der Vorderseite 12 des Holmes 9 dicht zur Anlage.The doors 4, 5 each carry at their in the closed position the body 1 facing backs frame-shaped circumferential magnetic sealing profiles 8. At the narrower 4 of the two doors, a vertical spar 9 is hinged. The spar 9 has at upper and lower end faces in each case a guide groove 10. The guide grooves 10 are arranged so that when the door 4 is pivoted from the position shown in the figure in the voltage applied to the frame 6 closed position, arranged on the ceiling and bottom of the body 1 guide pin 1 1 in the grooves 10 and engage by in slide along this, driving a pivoting movement of the spar 9 with respect to the door 4. At the end of this pivoting movement, when the door 4 rests against the frame 6, a wide front side 12 of the spar 9 is flush with the frame 6. Now, when the door 5 is pivoted to the closed position, the sealing profile 8 is on the one hand on the frame 6 and on the other hand on the front side 12 of the spar 9 close to the plant.
Die durch die Zapfen 1 1 und Nuten 10 geführte Schwenkbeweglichkeit des Holmes 9 erlaubt es, auch bei geschlossener Tür 5 die Tür 4 zu öffnen oder zu schließen.The guided by the pin 1 1 and grooves 10 pivoting movement of the spar 9 allows the door 4 to open or close even when the door 5 is closed.
Jeder Tür 4, 5 ist eine an der Decke des Korpus 1 angeordnete Innenraumbeleuchtung 13 bzw. 14 zugeordnet. Jede Innenraumbeleuchtung 13, 14 umfasst ein Gehäuse, in dessen hinterem, von den Türen 4, 5 abgewandten, lichtdurchlässigen Bereich ein Leuchtmittel wie etwa eine Glühbirne, LEDs oder dergleichen untergebracht ist, und in dessen vorderem Bereich ein federbeaufschlagter Schieber 15 geführt ist. Bei offener Tür sind die Spitzen der Schieber 15 durch ihre Federn jeweils über die Vorderseite des Rahmens 6 vorgeschoben, so dass sie beim Schließen der Türen 4, 5 mit deren Rückseite in Kontakt kommen und zurückgedrängt werden. Die Bewegung der Schieber 15 betätigt in an sich bekannter Weise einen im Gehäuse der Innenraumbeleuchtung 13 bzw. 14 untergebrachten Schalter, der bei offener Tür das Leuchtmittel einschaltet und bei geschlossener Tür ausschaltet. Der Schieber 15 besteht wenigstens im Falle der Innenraumbeleuchtung 13 aus Metall und ist über seine Feder mit einer niedrigen elektrischen Spannung beaufschlagt. Wenn das Leuchtmittel ein Niederspannungs- Leuchtmittel wie etwa eine Halogen-Glühbirne oder eine LED-Anordnung ist, ist der Schieber 15 zweckmäßigerweise mit der Versorgungsspannung des Leuchtmittels beaufschlagt. Diese Versorgungsspannung kann am Schieber 15 ständig, sowohl bei offener als auch bei geschlossener Tür 4, anliegen, oder es kann vorgesehen werden, dass der das Leuchtmittel betätigende Schalter genutzt wird, um die Versorgungsspannung entweder bei geschlossener Tür an den Schieber 15 und bei geöffneter Tür an das Leuchtmittel anzulegen. So genügt ein einfaches, zweiadriges Versorgungskabel, das durch die Wand des Korpus 1 hindurchgeführt wird, um sowohl die Innenraumbeleuchtung 13 als auch den Schieber 15 mit Spannung zu versorgen. An der Rückseite der Tür 4 ist ein metallisches Kontaktfeld 16 so angeordnet, dass es bei geschlossener Tür 4 einen galvanischen Kontakt mit dem Schieber 15 bildet. Von diesem Kontaktfeld 16 aus verläuft eine in der Figur nicht sichtbare elektrische Versorgungsleitung durch die Tür 4, das die Tür 4 und den Holm verbindende Scharnier und den Holm 9 zu einer elektrischen Heizeinrichtung, die sich, wie in Fig. 1 durch Schraffur angedeutet, im Inneren des Holmes 9 streifenförmig über dessen gesamte Höhe erstreckt. Diese elektrische Heizeinrichtung 17 beheizt die Oberfläche des Holmes 9 überall dort, wo bei geschlossener Stellung der Türen 4, 5 durch einen Spalt zwischen einander gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten der Türen 4, 5 Umgebungsluft an den Holm 9 gelangen kann, und verhindert so die Bildung von Schwitzwasser oder Reif an dem Holm 9.Each door 4, 5 is assigned to a arranged on the ceiling of the body 1 interior lighting 13 and 14, respectively. Each interior lighting 13, 14 comprises a housing, in the rear, facing away from the doors 4, 5, the light-transmitting area, a light source such as a light bulb, LEDs or the like is housed, and in the front region of a spring-loaded slide 15 is guided. When the door is open, the tips of the slides 15 are advanced by their springs respectively over the front of the frame 6, so that they come into contact with the back of the doors 4, 5 and are pushed back. The movement of the slider 15 is actuated in a conventional manner housed in the housing of the interior lighting 13 and 14 switch, which turns on the lamp when the door is open and turns off when the door is closed. The slider 15 is at least in the case of the interior lighting 13 made of metal and is acted upon by its spring with a low electrical voltage. If the lighting means is a low-voltage lighting means such as a halogen bulb or an LED array, the slider 15 is expediently acted upon by the supply voltage of the lighting means. This supply voltage can be applied to the slider 15 constantly, both open and closed door 4, or it can be provided that the light-actuated switch is used to supply the power either with the door closed to the slider 15 and the door open to apply to the bulb. Thus, a simple, two-core supply cable, which is passed through the wall of the body 1, to supply both the interior lighting 13 and the slide 15 with voltage. At the rear of the door 4, a metallic contact pad 16 is arranged so that it forms a galvanic contact with the slider 15 when the door 4 is closed. From this contact field 16 from an invisible in the figure electrical supply line passes through the door 4, the door 4 and the spar connecting hinge and the spar 9 to an electric heater, which, as indicated in Fig. 1 by hatching in the Inside the Holmes 9 stripe-shaped over its entire height extends. This electric heater 17 heats the surface of the spar 9 everywhere where in the closed position of the doors 4, 5 can pass through a gap between opposite narrow sides of the doors 4, 5 ambient air to the spar 9, and thus prevents the formation of condensation or Ripe on the spar 9.
Eine zum Schließen eines Stromkreises durch die Heizeinrichtung 17 erforderliche zweite Versorgungsleitung kann durch ein die Tür 4 mit der Seitenwand 2 verbindendes Scharnier zurück in den Korpus 1 geführt sein. Alternativ besteht die Möglichkeit, an der Innenraumbeleuchtung 13 zwei voneinander elektrisch isolierte Schieber 15 und komplementär zu diesen an der Rückseite der Tür 4 zwei Kontaktfelder 16 vorzusehen, über die der Versorgungsstromkreis der Heizeinrichtung 17 verläuft.A second supply line required for closing a circuit by the heater 17 may be guided back into the body 1 through a hinge connecting the door 4 to the side wall 2. Alternatively, it is possible to provide on the interior lighting 13 two mutually electrically insulated slides 15 and complementary to those on the back of the door 4, two contact fields 16 through which the supply circuit of the heater 17 extends.
Eine zweite Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in Fig. 2 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht gezeigt. Elemente, die dieser Ausgestaltung und der vorhergehenden gemeinsam sind, sind mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen bezeichnet. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung hat der Korpus 1 des Kältegerätes zwei verschiedene Innenräume 7, 20, die voneinander durch eine horizontale Zwischenwand 21 getrennt sind. Der obere Innenraum 7 ist wie im Falle der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 1 durch zwei Türen 4, 5 verschließbar, von denen die eine Tür 4 einen angelenkten Holm 9 trägt, an dessen Vorderseite 12 in geschlossener Stellung Dichtprofile der Türen 4, 5 anliegen. An der Vorderkante der Zwischenwand 21 sind zwei Beleuchtungsgehäuse 22 angeordnet, die bei geschlossenen Türen 4, 5 von diesen verdeckt sind, die hier allerdings vorgesehen sind, um eine in dem unteren, zweiten Innenraum 20 aufgenommene Schublade 23 auszuleuchten. Eine Frontseite der Schublade bildet gleichzeitig eine dritte Tür 24 des Kältegerätes. Diese dritte Tür 24 trägt an ihrer in der Figur nicht sichtbaren Rückseite wie die Türen 4, 5 ein umlaufendes Dichtprofil, das in geschlossener Stellung der Tür 24 am Rahmen 6 und der Zwischenwand 21 anliegt.A second embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 2 in a perspective view. Elements that are common to this embodiment and the foregoing are designated by the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, the body 1 of the refrigerator has two different internal spaces 7, 20, which are separated from each other by a horizontal partition 21. The upper inner space 7, as in the case of the embodiment of FIG. 1, can be closed by two doors 4, 5, of which one door 4 carries a hinged rail 9, against whose front side 12 sealing profiles of the doors 4, 5 rest in the closed position. At the front edge of the intermediate wall 21, two lighting housing 22 are arranged, which are covered with closed doors 4, 5 of these, however, which are provided here to illuminate a recorded in the lower, second interior 20 drawer 23. A front of the drawer simultaneously forms a third door 24 of the refrigerator. This third door 24 carries on its not visible in the figure back as the doors 4, 5 a circumferential Sealing profile which rests in the closed position of the door 24 on the frame 6 and the intermediate wall 21.
Die zwei Beleuchtungsgehäuse 22 tragen jeweils an einer Vorderseite zwei Kontaktfelder 25, die zumindest im Falle des linken Beleuchtungsgehäuses 22, das der den Holm 9 tragenden Tür 4 gegenüberliegt, mit einer Versorgungsspannung für die Heizeinrichtung 17 des Holmes 9 beschaltet sind. An der Rückseite der Tür 4 sind zwei federbeaufschlagte Kontaktstifte 26 so platziert, dass sie bei geschlossener Tür 4 auf die Kontaktfelder 25 treffen.The two lighting housing 22 each carry on a front two contact fields 25, which are at least in the case of the left lighting housing 22, which is opposite to the spar 9 supporting door 4, connected to a supply voltage for the heater 17 of the spar 9. At the back of the door 4, two spring-loaded contact pins 26 are placed so that they meet the contact fields 25 when the door 4 is closed.
Fig. 3 zeigt einen partiellen Schnitt durch die Türen 4, 24 und die Zwischenwand 21 des Kältegerätes der Fig. 2. Die Türen 4, 24 und die Zwischenwand 21 sind jeweils im Wesentlichen als mit Isolationsmaterial ausgefüllte Hohlkörper realisiert; im Falle der Tür 4 ist an die untere Flanke des Hohlkörpers ein Trägerblock 27 angefügt, in welchem die Kontaktstifte 26 verschiebbar gehalten und durch nicht dargestellte Federn gegen die Kontaktfelder 25 des Beleuchtungsgehäuses 22 beaufschlagt sind, um einen galvanischen Kontakt zu diesen herzustellen.Fig. 3 shows a partial section through the doors 4, 24 and the intermediate wall 21 of the refrigerator of Fig. 2. The doors 4, 24 and the intermediate wall 21 are each realized substantially as hollow material filled with insulating material; in the case of the door 4, a support block 27 is added to the lower edge of the hollow body, in which the contact pins 26 are slidably supported and by springs, not shown, against the contact pads 25 of the lighting housing 22 to produce a galvanic contact with them.
An den Außenseiten der Türen 4, 24 ist in bei Einbaugeräten an sich bekannter Weise eine Dekorplatte 28 montiert.On the outer sides of the doors 4, 24 a decorative plate 28 is mounted in built-in devices known per se.
Ein elektrisches Versorgungskabel 29 ist durch das Isolationsmaterial der Zwischenwand 21 in das Beleuchtungsgehäuse 22 geführt. Die zwei Adern des Versorgungskabels 29 sind jeweils unmittelbar mit einem der beiden Kontaktfelder 25 verbunden. Zwischen die zwei Adern geschaltet sind ein Niederspannungs-Leuchtmittel 30 sowie ein Schalter, von dem nur der ihn betätigende, von der Tür 24 in eingedrückter Stellung gehaltene Schieber 31 sichtbar ist. Von den Kontaktstiften 26 des Trägerblocks 27 aus erstreckt sich ein weiteres Versorgungskabel 32 durch das Isolationsmaterial der Tür 4 zu der Heizeinrichtung 17.An electrical supply cable 29 is guided by the insulating material of the intermediate wall 21 in the lighting housing 22. The two wires of the supply cable 29 are each connected directly to one of the two contact fields 25. Connected between the two wires are a low-voltage lighting means 30 and a switch, of which only the actuated him, held by the door 24 in the depressed position slide 31 is visible. From the contact pins 26 of the support block 27 from another supply cable 32 extends through the insulating material of the door 4 to the heater 17th
Abweichend von der Darstellung der Fig. 3 kann ein Schalter zum Betätigen des Leuchtmittels 30 natürlich auch getrennt von den Beleuchtungsgehäusen 22 angeordnet sein. Ein solcher Schalter kann insbesondere die Leuchtmittel beider Beleuchtungsgehäuse 22 gleichzeitig schalten. In diesem Fall ist das Versorgungskabel 29 dreiadrig, mit einer Masseader, einer kontinuierlich die Versorgungsspannung für die Heizeinrichtung 17 führenden Ader und einer geschalteten Ader, die das Leuchtmittel 30 versorgt.Notwithstanding the representation of FIG. 3, a switch for actuating the lighting means 30 may of course also be arranged separately from the lighting housings 22. Such a switch can in particular simultaneously switch the lighting means of both lighting housings 22. In this case, the supply cable 29 three-wire, with a Masseader, a continuously leading the supply voltage for the heater 17 and a vein wire that supplies the light source 30.
In dem Fall, dass die Türen 4, 24 nicht durch Dekorplatten verdeckt werden, sondern am fertig aufgestellten Kältegerät sichtbar bleiben, kann der Trägerblock 27 auch, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, an der Rückseite der Tür 4 eingelassen sein, so dass er bei beschlossener Tür 4 von außen nicht sichtbar ist. In the event that the doors 4, 24 are not covered by decorative panels, but remain visible on the finished refrigeration device, the support block 27 may also, as shown in Fig. 4, be embedded in the back of the door 4, so that he at decided door 4 is not visible from the outside.
