Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a refrigerator and / or freezer, with at least one body and a door or flap, which is pivotable relative to the body by means of at least one bearing.
  • the present invention is therefore the object of developing a household appliance of the type mentioned in that a stop change or replacement of the bearing in a comparatively simple manner is possible.
  • the stopper is provided on at least one side of the door or flap, for example on the upper and / or lower end side of the door, two or more than two receptacles for the bearing bushes.
  • a change of the stopper is possible in a particularly simple manner in that the bearing bush is removed from a receptacle and inserted into the desired receptacle of the door.
  • the bearing may include means for receiving a cable for power supply and / or for data transmission in the door or flap. It is conceivable that such a cable runs out of the body into the bearing according to the invention and from there for example leads to a display or other consumer in the door.
  • the cable may, for example, have a plug by means of which it can be connected to the corresponding consumer or to a cable leading to it in the door.
  • the bearing journal has a cavity and that the cable passes through the cavity of the journal.
  • the bearing bush is designed in several parts, wherein a first part has a recess for receiving the bearing journal and wherein a second part has guide regions for guiding the cable in the bearing bush.
  • the guide areas can be designed such that regardless of the pivoting angle of the door or flap, the cable always enters the door in a predetermined position from the bearing bush.
  • the first and / or the second part may have openings through which the cable can not laterally be inserted along the guides into the guides.
  • the two parts of the bushing can be connected by a plug connection.
  • the second part of the bearing bush is designed such that the cable is bent after exiting from the axially extending cavity of the journal first by 180 °, then partially parallel to the bearing pin or to runs in the journal pin section and then again undergoes a bend by 180 °.
  • the bearing or the receptacle may have fixing elements for the rotationally fixed fixing of the bearing bush in the receptacle.
  • These fixing elements can be formed for example by guides, by means of which the bearing bush is inserted into the receptacle.
  • the bearing and / or the receptacle is shaped such that the bearing bush is fixed in rotation in the receptacle.
  • a rotationally fixed arrangement is achieved by the shape of the recess and the bearing bush.
  • bearing bush and receptacle can be elliptical or also have edges which prevent rotation of the bearing bush in the receptacle.
  • the bearing is inserted into the receptacle.
  • another detachable connection between the bearing or bearing bush and receptacle is conceivable.
  • the receptacle is designed such that not only the bearing bush or the bearing, but also any plug part of the cable is removed from the receptacle, so that the arrangement with cable in a simple way and Way can be added.
  • the present invention further relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with the features of claim 12.
  • the door or flap has a first region which is surrounded by a circumferential seal when the door or flap is closed, that the door or flap has at least one lying outside this first region second region, and that the one or more bearings are at least partially disposed in the second region.
  • the bearing is at least partially disposed in the second region, that is in the region which does not directly delimit the cooling space in the closed state of the door or flap.
  • At least one insert may be arranged in said second region, wherein the bearing (s) are at least partially received in the insert.
  • the insert may for example be designed as a plug-in part, which may extend in the case of a door, for example, above and / or below said first area.
  • This insert or the insertion part may have the said receptacles for receiving the bearing or the bearing bushes.
  • An insoluble version of the insert is also conceivable.
  • the device is designed according to the characterizing part of one of claims 1 to 11, wherein the at least one receptacle is arranged in the second region of the door or flap.
  • FIG. 1 shows by the reference numeral 10, the door of a refrigerator or freezer in its upper portion in a perspective view of the wall facing the refrigerator compartment inside.
  • the door is pivotally mounted about its upper and lower sides by means of a respective bearing 20 on a body, not shown, of the device about a vertical axis.
  • a circumferential seal is indicated, which rests in the closed state of the door 10 on an end face of the body and in this way closes the area to be cooled.
  • the seal 40 is encircling and delimits a first region 16 of the door 10 located within the sealing region. Above this region 16, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, the second region 18, ie the region which is not directly adjacent when the door or flap is closed adjacent to the refrigerator or freezer compartment.
  • the seal 40 is usually arranged on the door 10, but may in principle also be arranged on the body.
  • FIG. 1 It can be seen that in the second region 18 is a insert 50 designed as a plug-in part, the in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • This insert 50 has receptacles 14, 14 'for receiving the bearing 20 in its two end regions.
  • the insert 50 is designed as a plastic part, can be used in the second region 18 above the area surrounded by the seal 16, as is apparent from FIG. 1 evident. It is also conceivable to list the part 50 as a fixed, indissoluble part of the door.
  • the insert 50 has a space or cavity into which various functional elements can be inserted.
  • various functional elements means for influencing the closing behavior (damper, closing aids, ...) of the door to call, as in FIG. 1 are identified by the reference numeral 80.
  • Another example is the inclusion of a cable 30, which is also partially in the area formed by the insert 50, as is apparent from FIG. 1 evident.
  • the bearing 20 consists of a bearing pin extending vertically downwards, preferably in one piece from the bearing arm 21, which is arranged stationarily on the body of the device.
  • the journal is rotatably mounted in a bearing bush 22 which is not fixed to the door in connection, but can be removed from this.
  • the connection between receptacle 14, 14 'and bearing bush 22 is designed according to the invention detachable.
  • the bearing bush 22 is inserted from above or at the bottom of the door from below into the respective end face 12 of the door 10 or into the receptacle 14, 14 'of the insertion part 50 present there.
  • the cable 30 extends over the bearing arm 21, over which the bearing arm 21 vertically extending bearing pin, not shown, as well as on the bearing bush 22 in the door.
  • the cable 30 is guided in the bearing bush 22 such that it always emerges from the bearing bush 22 in a defined position regardless of the angle of rotation of the door.
  • the cable 30 has a plug part 32 in its end region located in the door 10. This is detachably connected to a further plug part of a cable, for example, leads to a display in the door.
  • the guided over the bearing 20 cable section is detachably connected to a display or the like or a cable arranged thereon.
