Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one door and at least one output unit arranged in the door, which can be dispensed for dispensing goods, in particular ice and / or water.
  • Such output units are used to provide the user of the device, for example, ice cubes, crushed ice cubes, water, etc., without having to open the door of the device.
  • the dispensing unit must be designed so that it to the door design, such. B. is adapted to the door thickness, door shape, etc., which means that different door designs require the use of correspondingly differently executed output units.
  • the present invention is therefore the object of developing a refrigerator and / or freezer of the type mentioned in such a way that different door versions can be used with little effort.
  • the output unit or a component for receiving an output unit has a first portion which is connectable to a first embodiment of a door or is in communication, and has a second portion which is connectable to a second embodiment of a door or in Connection stands.
  • a design of a refrigerator and / or freezer makes it possible for different versions of the door only one embodiment of the output unit or the component for receiving the output unit must be prepared and used. It is conceivable, for example, the output unit or the component to be designed so that a plane door (hard-line door) as well as a curved door (Swing design door) can be installed.
  • the named component may, for example, be a part foamed in the door into which the dispensing unit is inserted.
  • the output unit or the component has two or more than two sections, which are each connectable to two or more than two versions of a door or are in communication.
  • the output unit can be used not only for two different versions of the door, but possibly also for more than two different versions of the door.
  • the dispensing unit or component may comprise a housing or a frame, wherein the first portion and the second portion are disposed on the housing or on the frame.
  • said component is formed by such a housing or such a frame and that on the component of the first portion and the second portion and optionally further portions for fixing of different types of doors are arranged.
  • the dispensing unit or the component is foamed in the door. It is therefore conceivable, for example, that a Einbulteil is provided which forms the receptacle for the output unit. At said Einbulteil said portions may be provided, which are in the inserted state of the EinDumteils or the output unit with the sections of the door in connection, which surround the cutout, in which the Einbulteil is arranged.
  • first portion and the second portion are formed by investment areas, in particular by surfaces which extend parallel or substantially parallel to the plane formed by the door.
  • the contact areas is planar and at least one of the contact areas is curved.
  • the dispensing unit or the component which can be embodied, for example, as a foaming part, be designed so that it can be used both for flat doors and for arched doors.
  • the first and the second section may be arranged offset to one another in the depth direction of the door. It is conceivable, for example, for the dispensing unit or the named component to have a step in its edge region, through which different bearing surfaces or bearing areas are formed.
  • the output unit or the component has securing means by means of which the output unit or the component is fixable to the door.
  • securing means may be realized by projections which project from the dispensing unit or the component and secure the door.
  • these securing means may extend parallel to the plane of the door. It is also conceivable that the securing means define a groove or a gap between a contact surface and the securing means, in or in which the cutout of the door limiting edge of the door is used.
  • the output unit or the component can have a frame enclosing the output space and forming the front side of the output unit.
  • This frame is placed, for example, so that it covers the area adjacent to the door to the output unit or the component, so that this area is no longer visible in the mounted state of the frame or the panel.
  • the output unit or the isolation hump is constructed asymmetrically.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a perspective view of the component 10 for receiving an output unit.
  • the component 10 is a EinDumteil and is formed by a forwardly open housing part.
  • the EinDumteil 10 is foamed in the door and forms the receptacle for the output unit or for components of Output unit, such as the mechanics and electronics for dispensing ice or water or the like.
  • the Eintechteil 10 has in its rear upper portion a recess 12, pass through the ice or water or the like in the output space.
  • a funnel-shaped component 20 is provided which is open at the top and introduced into the ice, water, etc. in the closed state of the door. The lower opening of the component 20 opens into the dispensing space of the EinDumteils 10th
  • the Eintechumteil 10 has a stepped edge region, wherein the step-shaped edge region is designed such that two webs or surfaces 14, 16 exist that form contact surfaces for different versions of doors.
  • the contact surface of the web 16 is set back relative to the system 14, as is apparent from FIG. 1 evident. Both the web 16 and the surface 14 are vertical.
  • the door 30 is in its neck bordering region on the web 16 at.
  • the door 30 as a so-called hard-line door, that is designed as a plane door.
  • the plane of the web 14 and the surface 16 are in or parallel to the door level.
  • the Eintechumteil 10 is used for a curved door, as shown in FIG. 2 is shown, this door 32 is not on the web 16, but on the surface 14, which is offset relative to the web 16 to the front.
  • the door 32 is curved and accordingly rests against the likewise curved surface 14.
  • each furniture door thickness (eg overlay / frame) can also be compensated or detected.
  • securing means are provided in the form of projections, which have an edge which is spaced from the web 16, so that a distance between the securing means 40 and the web 16, in which the door 30 inserted in its cut-off area becomes.
  • the securing means 40 are designed as elevations which extend on the plane connecting the web 16 with the surface 14. For example, this layer can be horizontal.
  • securing means 50 are provided in the state shown, in the form of projections which extend substantially parallel to the plane of the door and which define a space or a gap between the surface 14 and the securing means 50.
  • FIG. 3 shows the arrangement according to FIG. 2 with complete, inserted into the Einbulumteil 10 output unit. Like this FIG. 3 shows, the output unit on a display and / or a control element by means of which the operator can control the output unit.
  • the output unit according to FIG. 3 has a frame 70 which is placed from the front of the EinDumteil 10, that the transition between EinDumteil 10 and door 32 is no longer visible, but is covered by the frame 70.
  • the reference numeral 72 is already out FIGS. 1 and 2 apparent level or the web 16 for conditioning the plan door according to FIG. 1 seen.
  • Reference numeral 80 denotes a check valve disposed in the discharge pipe for discharging water.
  • the present invention has the advantage that preferably the complete dispensing unit can be used identically in all installation situations. Different requirements can thus result in different ways be made regardless of whether a minimal front frame structure or a stronger hard-line fairing is desired.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 For content optimization can in the FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 be represented with the reference numeral 90 Isolleitersbuckel asymmetric. As can be seen from the figures, passes through the Isolationsbuckel the part 20, by means of which ice, water and the like passes from a corresponding output in the interior of the output unit.
