Description

The invention relates to a food receiving container with a shell and a separate partition wall, which is arranged to separate the volume of the shell in the interior of the shell. The food storage container has a holding device with which the dividing wall can be positioned in a fixing position in which the dividing wall is fixed to the dish in the position. The partition wall can be brought into a different displacement position, in which this partition wall is displaceable in the state arranged on the shell relative to the shell in the interior. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a household refrigerator with at least one such food storage container.

A food receptacle with a separate partition in this respect is for example from JP 2004 089255 A known. The local partition is positioned differently with a holding device having compressible headband. If these brackets are in a clamping position, side flange areas of the partition wall are pressed against vertical side walls of the shell and the partition wall is then fixed in its position inside the shell. If these brackets are actuated and, in particular, moved toward one another, this fixing position is released and the clamping effect of these retaining brackets is at least defined reduced such that the partition wall can be displaced inside the shell.

In the known embodiment of the holding device with these specifically tangible and operable brackets the adjustment of the fixing position and the displacement position for a user is very expensive. He must first intervene in the interior of the shell and get in this regard lower lying bracket for grasping. This is particularly difficult if storage goods are contained in the shell and the accessibility to these straps is limited. Especially when the stored goods are moist or frozen, unwanted adverse effects on the user's fingers can occur here. In addition, the headband are relatively filigree and position hidden, so that they can be undesirably strong not only when gripping and, if necessary, then may also be impaired in their function or can be canceled.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a food storage container in which the adjustment of various positions of a partition inside the shell can be made easier.

This object is achieved by a food storage container and a household refrigerator according to the independent claims.

One aspect of the invention relates to a food storage container having a shell and a separate partition wall arranged to separate the volume of the shell inside the shell. The food receiving container has a holding device with which the dividing wall can be positioned in a fixing position in the interior of the dish. In this fixing position, the partition wall is fixed in position on the shell. The partition wall can be moved in a different displacement position relative to the fixing position, in which the partition wall in the state arranged on the shell is displaceable in the interior relative to the shell. The displacement position is reached when the holding device has released its holding action. In the fixing position, however, the holding effect of the holding device acts. The holding device has at least one plate-like Reibhaftungselement, by which the partition wall is held displaceably secured in the fixing position by Reibhaftung on the shell. The fixing position can be released by lifting the partition. The partition wall is therefore arranged in the shell that is adjusted by the different height positions of the partition relative to the shell on the one hand, the fixing position, on the other hand, the displacement position. These different elevations are considered in the direction perpendicular to a feed opening of the shell. The Reibhaftungselement is an element which automatically builds up or dissolves this Reibhaftung due to its geometric and / or material configuration depending on these different positions of the partition relative to the shell. The Reibhaftungselement is thus formed only by the contact with the shell to build the Reibhaftung or to reduce the Reibhaftung. The frictional engagement element is not a user actuation element which jams by gripping directly and defined actuation of the element in the gripped state or otherwise ignites a holding action. When setting the partition to its specific positions, the direct gripping of the frictional adhesion element by a user is no longer required. As a result, a much improved handling for individual position adjustment of the partition is achieved. It is no longer necessary to intervene in the interior of the shell circumferentially by a user in order to actuate a hidden there holding member defined by direct engagement, but it is achieved in this contactless actuation of this Reibhaftungselements by a user by this defines the partition defined and then adjust the fixation or the shift position individually. Only by the generation or solution of the mechanical contacting of the partition with the shell individually and automatically generated Reibhaftung is then held the fixing position. In order to release the fixing position and thus cancel the frictional contact between the friction element and the shell, the partition is raised perpendicular to the plane of the loading opening and also perpendicular to the possible direction of displacement of the partition wall inside the shell. This very intuitive and user-friendly and thus also fast and accurate positioning of the partition has the advantages mentioned above.

The at least one plate-like Reibhaftungselement is arranged on an edge side, which faces an inner side of a side wall of the shell, the partition wall and arranged raised above this edge overhanging. This ensures that, on the one hand, a flat construction of this Reibhaftungselements is achieved, on the other hand by the raised projecting position also advantageous and primarily then the mechanical contact with the inside of the shell is achieved, so here then concretely and continuously the Reibhaftung in this preferably vertical movement Partition wall and thus when pushing down into the shell can be built.

It is preferably provided that the Reibhaftungselement has a plate-like sub-element, which is formed with a plate surface for frictionally contacting. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment, since on the one hand the flat construction is favored, on the other hand, the above-mentioned advantages with respect to the structure of Reibhaftung when lowering or pushing the partition into the interior of the shell are particularly achieved. Through this plate surface, the frictional state can be achieved as large as possible even then, so that the fixing position is kept particularly secure. Even if storage goods abut the partition wall when the interior of the shell is loaded, this fixing position is not undesirably released or a displacement of the partition wall is avoided.

It is preferably provided that this plate surface of the plate-like part element extends over at least 80 percent of the height of the friction adhesion element. This in this very large-scale design allows a continuous and steady build the Reibhaftung when lowering the partition into the interior of the shell. An abrupt onset of an already very large Reibhaftung is avoided. By this configuration, in turn, the user-friendly introduction of the partition wall is supported.

It is preferably provided that the Reibhaftungselement is formed of an elastomer. This material favors the above-mentioned advantages with regard to the targeted continuous structure of the friction adhesion as well as a permanently secure attitude of this fixation position. On the other hand, the design of elastomer for different environmental conditions is suitable, so that both at room temperature and at cool temperatures in a household refrigeration appliance, the friction adhesion is reliably generated and maintained.

In addition, in an embodiment made of elastomer, the required deformation elasticity is maintained over a long service life, so that no slackening occurs here and, for example, no brittleness or the like of the friction adhesion element occurs.

It is preferably provided that the partition wall has a strip-like side flange, which faces an inner side of the shell, wherein the Reibhaftungselement is arranged on the side flange. By such a configuration is almost perpendicular to the plane in which extends the partition, a marginal widening achieved, so that in this regard, a wider Reibhaftungselement can find stable place. This refinement improves the functionality of the friction adhesion generation. By this side flange, the Reibhaftungselement can then be quasi supported on both sides and is quasi sandwiched in the production of Reibhaftung. On the one hand through the inside of the shell, on the other hand through this side flange. An undesirable deformation or otherwise impairing the Reibhaftungselements is thereby prevented. In addition, the Reibhaftungselement considered in width then not projecting laterally in the fixing position by this configuration, so that here also no unwanted bumping or striking occurs on the Reibhaftungselement by stored goods, so that the Reibhaftungselement is not damaged.

Preferably, this side flange is wider than the Reibhaftungselement, whereby the above advantages are achieved in particular dimensions.

It is preferably provided that viewed in a height direction of the food receiving container, the dividing wall is arranged in the displacement position at a higher level than in the fixing position. This height direction is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the feed opening of the shell. In this context, a simple displacement of the partition in the displacement position can be achieved, since they can stand out somewhat from the interior of the shell upwards and thus be easily grasped by a user can be moved and defined accordingly. In this regard lower down fixing position then no unwanted supernatant of the partition over the feed opening of the shell out, so that no disturbing supernatant takes place here and a bumping is avoided by other components of the household refrigerator.

Preferably, it is provided that the partition wall is latched to the shell and abut in the displacement position, a locking element of the partition and a counter-latching element on the shell to each other, and in the fixing position, the locking element and the counter-latching element are decoupled. By such a configuration, it is thus prevented that in the displacement position in which the defined displacement is made possible, nevertheless no undesired release of the partition wall from the shell occurs. Since the displacement direction in the plane in which the loading opening of the shell extends, is oriented or oriented parallel thereto, the desired lifting of the partition perpendicular to this plane is avoided by this latching connection. An undesirable loosening of the partition, in particular when moving is thereby prevented. In addition, by this embodiment of the locking device, a release of the fixing position thus in Nachobenziehen the partition wall from the inside of the shell out in this regard too far withdrawal prevented.

On the other hand, then in the fixing position, the locking device still exists and in the context generates a release position of the latched state of the locking element with the counter-locking element. Also in this fixing position, the locking device is further designed so that the partition could not be completely separated from the shell. Nevertheless, the really locked state and the mutual concern of the locking element and the counter-locking element in this fixing position is not required.

It is preferably provided that at an upper edge of the partition, a laterally Ausgreifender bracket is arranged with the latching element and on a outer side of a side wall of the shell, a counter-latching element is arranged. By this embodiment, a wing-like element is created, on which this locking element hidden and thus arranged protected. A gripping from above the counter-locking element is thereby advantageously allows. On the one hand secure locking is possible as well as the prevention of upward undesirable exposed locking elements, which could then be damaged by abutment or broken off.

It is preferably provided that the counter-latching element is designed as a rail through which the latching element is guided in the displacement position of the partition wall during displacement. This multi-functionality of the counter-locking element saves components and makes the entire handling concept for the partition wall particularly simple.

It is preferably provided that two opposite side walls of the shell, between which the partition wall extends, are arranged inclined towards a loading opening of the shell, so that the interior of the shell widens toward the charging opening. By such a configuration, the fixing position and thus the continuous structure of the Reibhaftung can be achieved particularly advantageous. Advantageously, it can be provided that the opposite side walls have different inclinations. As a result, the concept of friction adhesion to the individual walls can be designed individually. On the other hand, a mounting coding is created so that the partition can not be installed incorrectly.

It is preferably provided that the dividing wall overlaps upper edges of opposite side walls of the shell with the already mentioned bracket. The concept for holding the partition wall on the shell is thereby made particularly advantageous. In particular, these brackets can then also sit on top of the edge, especially in the fixing position of the partition wall inside the shell, so that a further additional stabilization of the fixing position is achieved by this resting from above.

It is preferably provided that the displacement path of the partition wall is limited relative to the shell by a lowered edge portion of at least one upper edge of a side wall of the shell. On the one hand, defined partial volumes of the interior of the shell can thereby be advantageously set; on the other hand, no unwanted protrusion of the dividing wall from the shell occurs through these lowered edge sections.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigerating appliance with at least one food receiving container according to the above-mentioned aspect or an advantageous embodiment thereof.

Another independent aspect of the invention relates to a method for positioning a partition wall of a food storage container in an interior of a bowl of the food storage container. In the method, the partition wall in the state arranged on the shell for changing a volume division of the interior of the Shell displaced in a displacement position relative to the shell and held displaceably secured in a fixing position on the shell. The partition is held by a holding device on the shell. The partition is held in the fixing position, in particular in the direction perpendicular to a loading opening or loading opening of the shell, by Reibhaftung a Reibhaftungselements the holding device verschiebegichert secured to the shell. The fixing position is achieved by lifting the partition wall, in particular in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the loading opening and thus in particular also perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the partition.

Advantageously, the concept of the partition can be operated only with one hand of a user and moved between the fixing position and the displacement position. This also results in simple handling. Even with impaired users who have a disability on one hand or an arm or otherwise at least temporarily restricted with one hand, the handling of the partition can still be done safely.

Further advantageous embodiments of said method are made possible by the above-mentioned components of the food receiving container and by their at least partially individual interaction with each other.

The terms "top", "bottom", "front", "rear", "horizontal", "vertical", "depth direction", "width direction", "height direction", etc. are the intended use and intended arrangement of the food storage container or device specified positions and orientations.

In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

In 1 is a schematic representation of a household refrigerator 1 shown, which is designed for storing and preserving food. The household refrigerator 1 may be a refrigerator or a freezer or a combination refrigerator-freezer. In the exemplary embodiment, it is preferably a fridge-freezer combination device. The household refrigerator 1 has a housing 2 in which at least one recording room 3 is designed for food. The recording room 3 can be a refrigerator compartment or a freezer compartment. In an advantageous embodiment, the household refrigerator 1 one to the first recording room 3 separate second recording room 4 on, which can also be a refrigerator compartment or a freezer compartment. In particular, the second recording room 4 a freezer.

The household refrigerator 1 also has a door 5 on top of the recording room 3 closes. In an optional embodiment, the household refrigerator 1 a second door 6 on which the optional second recording room 4 closes at the front. The doors 5 and 6 are pivotable on the housing 2 arranged.

In the recording room 4 is a separate food storage container 7 arranged. The food receptacle 7 is in 2 shown in perspective view according to an embodiment. This food receptacle 7 has a shell 8th on, which is formed trough-like. This shell 8th has a feed opening in the upper area 9 which is open and about which stored goods in the interior 10 the Bowl 8th can be introduced and can be removed. The food receptacle 7 also has a shell 8th separate partition 11 on, which is used to separate the volume of the shell 8th internally 10 attachable. The partition 11 separates the volume of the shell 8th therefore in two separate partial volumes. The shell 8th has a front boundary wall 12 and a rear boundary wall 13 on. The boundary wall 12 has an upper edge 14 on. The boundary wall 13 has an upper edge 15 on. As in the embodiment according to 2 is to recognize, is a border section 14a of the upper edge 14 lowered towards the rest of the edge 14 , Corresponding is a border section 15a of the upper edge 15 lowered relative to the remaining area of the upper edge 15 , Through these lowered edge sections 14a and 15a is a maximum displacement of the partition 11 internally 10 the Bowl 8th Are defined.

The edge section 14a is through an optional existing web 16 strengthened or stiffened. Accordingly, another bridge 17 in the edge section 15a be provided to stiffen even this. Preferably over the entire length of the edge portion 14a is in the height direction (y-direction) considered to this edge portion 14a down offset a counter-latching element 18 on an outside 12a the side wall 12 arranged. This counter-latching element 18 is here in particular designed as a continuous and uninterrupted straight-line rail, the raised forward from the outside 12a projects. Accordingly, on an outside 13a the rear side wall 13 opposite the edge section 15a down offset a counter-latching element 19 integrally formed, which is preferably formed according to a continuous linear rail, which extends over the entire length of the edge portion 15a extends. This further counter-locking element 19 is in 3 shown.

The partition 11 is integrally formed, in particular made of plastic. The partition 11 has a base plate 20 on, like this in 2 can be seen. On opposite edge sides of this base plate 20 are side flanges 21 and 22 ( 3 ), which in this respect extend further in width than the base plate 20 , These side flanges 21 and 22 are inside pages 13b and 12b the side walls 12 and 13 turned to. At an upper edge of the base plate 20 is another jetty 23 formed, which is also wider than the base plate 20 , This will be the dividing wall 11 stiffened.

In the upper area, especially on the jetty 23 opening on the opposite sides are temples 24 and 25 formed. These are oriented downwards and encompass the edge sections from above 14a and 15a , In 2 is the fixing position of the partition 11 shown. This means that it is arranged in the vertical direction (y-direction) at a lower position and thus located at a lower altitude than this partition 11 has in the different displacement position. This height direction is perpendicular to the plane in which the feed opening 9 extends, oriented.

As can be seen, are at the lower free ends of the bracket 24 and 25 locking elements 26 and 27 ( 3 ) integrally formed. The counter-locking elements 18 and 19 form together with the locking elements 26 and 27 a locking device, with the partition 11 on the shell 8th is arranged latching. In the in 2 shown fixing position of the partition 11 is the dividing wall 11 displaced in the shell. This means that it can not be moved in the width direction (x direction). In this fixing position is the partition 11 positioned so that the locking elements 18 and 19 from the counter-locking elements 26 and 27 are spaced apart and are thus arranged without contact in the height direction. Nevertheless, the locking device is designed so that even in this position, the partition 11 not from the inside 10 can be removed.

As in the perspective sectional view in 3 can be seen, which is a sectional view along the cutting line III - III in 2 shows is the dividing wall 11 in this fixation position exclusively by friction adhesion to the shell 11 fixed in position. This is indicated by the food container 7 a holding device 28 on, here at least two separate particular plate-like Reibhaftungselemente 29 and 30 having. These friction adhesion elements 29 are formed as separate parts and in particular solid bodies, which are preferably made of an elastomer. They are on opposite sides of the partition 11 arranged, in particular on the side flanges 21 and 22 held. The friction adhesion element 29 has a plate-like subelement 31 on which raised to the side of the side flange 22 towards the inside 12b extends. This plate-like subelement 31 has a plate surface 32 , which for direct frictional contacting the inside 12b is designed and arranged. In this fixing position is the partition 11 in the height direction so down to the inside 10 pressed in that by the Reibhaftungselemente 29 and 30 the partition 11 held fixed in position. In particular, the plate-like subelement 31 is made by this Nachuntendrücken between the inside 12b and the side flange 22 squeezed or squeezed so that here the corresponding friction adhesion is built up. Accordingly, the additional friction-locking element 30 constructed and functionally according to the same effect.

Preferably, this plate surface extends 32 over at least 80 percent of the height of the entire friction adherence element 29 , so here is a large-scale plant on the inside 12b is reached.

In this fixing position is the partition 11 especially on a floor 33 the Bowl 8th top-mounted. Additionally or instead, it may be provided that the bracket 24 and 25 in this fixing position on the edge sections 14a and 15a seated. This fixation position is additionally stabilized by these two named alternatives, which can also occur in combination. Starting from the in 3 shown fixing position of the partition 11 this is relative to the shell in the height direction 8th lifted and thus moved up. Spend the partition 11 from the fixing position in the displacement position thus takes place in a direction perpendicular to the displacement position P1 as they are in 4 shown is oriented. This lifting is indicated by the reference numeral P2 in 4 clarified.

By moving in a direction perpendicular to the feed opening 9 the Bowl 8th is also the generated and maintained in the fixing position friction adhesion between the Reibhaftelementen 29 and 30 and the insides 12b and 13b canceled and resolved in this regard. In the displacement position, as in 4 is thus not a direct concern of the Reibhaftungselemente 29 and 30 on the insides 12b and 13b available and thus no friction adhesion built. In this displacement position, as in 4 is shown, is still the partition 11 not from the shell 8th separable, since the locking action of the locking device then comes fully to fruition here. Because in the maximum possible Anhebestellung, as in 4 is shown, the locking elements 26 and 27 directly adjacent to the counter-locking elements 18 and 19 , By this configuration is also a pull-out of the partition 11 from the inside 10 reached. In this displacement position according to 4 can the partition 11 then linear in the direction of the arrow P1 be pushed back and forth. Is then the desired position of the partition in this regard 11 relative to the shell 8th achieved, this position is fixed again by the partition 11 according to the arrow P3 in 4 down into the interior 10 is pressed until the corresponding Reibhaftung is rebuilt and the fixing position is reached. In particular, in this fixing position, the partition 11 then on the floor 33 sitting and / or the temples 24 and 25 on the edge sections 14a and 15a top-mounted.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the side wall 12 is arranged obliquely inclined and thus is not completely vertically oriented. Preferably, this side wall 12 from the ground 33 Coming forth obliquely arranged outward or forward inclined. In particular, an angle between 1 ° and 5 °, in particular between 1 ° and 3 °, preferably 1.5 °, may be formed here.

Additionally or instead, it can be provided that the further side wall 13 , which here is a rear side wall viewed in the depth direction (z-direction), is arranged obliquely inclined. Again, then starting from the ground 33 an outwardly inclined arranging preferably be provided. Such a configuration thus widens the shell 8th from the ground 33 her views to the loading opening 9 towards. In particular, it is advantageous if this side wall 13 an inclination between 5 ° and 10 °, in particular between 6 ° and 9 °, in particular 8 °.

In particular, it can also be provided that in this rear side wall 13 an air intake 34 is trained. About this air intake 34 can air in the interior 10 reach.
