  • the known devices have the goal to extend the shelf life of cracked "bag-in-box” packages by cooling.
  • a disadvantage of the known devices is that germs and bacteria can migrate from the beverage outlets on line parts to the "bag-in-box” packaging and spoil the drinks prematurely. In the known devices, therefore, regular and labor-intensive cleaning measures of all line parts are required.
  • a device of the type mentioned is from the US 2006/0080993 A1 known.
  • the beverage outlet is arranged in the housing above a Zapfbucht.
  • the beverage outlet ends in the middle in the Housing opening.
  • a guided through the door linear actuator presses on a head of the valve.
  • the CA 2 323 591 A1 discloses a juice dispenser that uses a bag-in-box packaging. This is arranged in a refrigerator. From the bag-in-box container, a hose leads into a dispensing area.
  • the EP 0 437 754 A discloses a method and apparatus for metered dispensing of flowable foodstuffs, such as milk, with a slot machine. There, a drain hose is used, which protrudes between the housing bottom and the door.
  • Another container is in the US 4,373,647 A1 disclosed. This container is used to hold milk or other refrigerated liquid products that are dispensed through a beverage outlet inside the device.
  • the US 2,781,153 A shows a beverage container received in a cooling device, which has an outlet inside the device, which pours into a through the door performed up to the outside of the door extending feedthrough.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to show a device of the type mentioned, whose cleaning costs is significantly reduced.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the beverage outlet is arranged in the appliance door.
  • the nozzle and the beverage outlet are self-acting separated from each other, so that all parts of the line are open and cleaning measures are much easier.
  • the beverage outlet is designed as a contact jet surrounding a beverage jet contact housing.
  • the housing opening germs and bacteria for example, by hands or used beverage cups, not get into the "bag-in-box” packaging.
  • the shelf life of the drinks contained in the "bag-in-box” packaging is significantly extended.
  • the device according to the invention advantageously fulfills the strict hygiene standard "Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point" HACCP known in Europe.
  • the appliance door at least one Zapfbucht, in which the beverage outlet is arranged.
  • the Zapfbucht advantageously allows the parking of a drinking vessel on a drainer.
  • the beverage outlet is preferably arranged in the upper boundary of the Zapfbucht, so that a beverage jet can pass through the beverage outlet in the vertical direction.
  • the cooling device has at least one arranged in the region of its feed opening valve receiving bearing, which is provided for receiving the arranged on the "bag-in-box" packaging dispensing valve.
  • the refrigerator is designed for simultaneous dispensing of drinks from a plurality of "bag-in-box” packages, it also has a plurality of valve receiving bearings arranged in the region of its feed opening.
  • valve receiving bearing has at least one lock for securing the position of the dispensing valve.
  • lock the nozzle is enclosed in the valve receiving bearing so that transport-related shocks of the device according to the invention can advantageously not cause the dispensing valve is moved out of the valve receiving bearing.
  • the cooling device has at least one valve actuating mechanism which projects through its appliance door. With this can be tapped on the device according to the invention drinks without having to open the door.
  • the valve operating mechanism advantageously forms a key which is provided for the user-friendly introduction of an actuating force. The actuating force is forwarded through the valve actuating mechanism through the appliance door into the interior of the refrigerator all the way to the dispensing valve.
  • valve receiving bearing and the valve actuation are thus guided positively movable on the articulation of the door.
  • the separation of the valve-receiving bearing and the valve operating mechanism, which is regularly required for replacing empty "bag-in-box" packs, is done by simply opening the door, wherein the articulation of the door is preferably made by hinges. In principle, however, it is also conceivable to design the appliance door as a sliding door or as a flap.
  • the valve actuating mechanism has a rocker arm mounted rotatably in the door of the appliance.
  • the force transmission ratio of the rocker arm can be adjusted so that the ease of use of the device according to the invention is greater than that of the dispensing valve to a commercially available "bag-in-box" packaging.
  • valve confirmation mechanism is assigned at least one return spring. This supports the valve disposed in the spring, so that the automatic closing of the nozzle after the introduction of an actuating force is done quickly and reliably.
  • the return spring is formed, for example, as a leaf spring supported on the appliance door.
  • valve operating mechanism with closed door in the valve receiving bearing on projecting vanes form a kind of centering and serve the reliable production of a play-free operative connection between the tap taken in the valve receiving bearing and the valve operating mechanism.
  • the valve actuating mechanism is designed such that it is suitable for actuating a Vitop dispensing valve.
  • Vitop is a registered trademark of the Smurfit Kappa Bag in Box, Ebernay, France.
  • the contact region of the valve actuating mechanism contacting the dispensing valve also has the shape of an open-end wrench, which can be positioned both below the finger tabs connected to the closure element of the dispensing valve and above these finger tabs
  • the device according to the invention advantageously has two operating states. If the appliance door is closed when the valve actuation mechanism is triggered, so that the contact area designed like an open-end wrench is located above the finger tabs in the valve receiving bearing, the dispensing mechanism is deactivated.
  • the door can be advantageously prevented unauthorized withdrawal of drinks. If the appliance door is closed when the valve actuation mechanism is not triggered, so that the contact area formed like an open-end wrench is located below the finger tabs of the dispensing valve in the valve receiving bearing, the dispensing mechanism is activated.
