Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household appliance and a hinge element for the door of the household appliance, wherein the hinge element has a mounting portion for mounting on the body of the household appliance, a support arm projecting from the mounting portion and a bearing element arranged at the free end of the support arm.
  • Simple hinges used for the suspension of a household appliance door generally have a hinge pin which engages from above or below in a bearing sleeve of the door, thus defining a pivot axis of the door, and an arm, via which the hinge pin is firmly connected to the body. This arm is visible from the outside, which is distracting.
  • the WO 2007/031416 A1 discloses a housing for a household appliance with a hinge, which is arranged adjacent to a side surface of the body and body and door connects.
  • the door has a receiving space facing the carcass.
  • the hinge comprises a fixedly connected to the body and engaging in the receiving space arm, on which an axis of the hinge is fixed.
  • On the arm a recess is formed, engages in the open position of the door, a side wall of the receiving space of the door.
  • the arm of the hinge is formed from an upright strip of strong sheet metal and divided by two approximately right angles in three sections, the two end portions parallel to each other. The one end portion is to be mounted on the body, the second end portion is rolled up at its free end into a sleeve.
  • the production of such a hinge arm has proved to be difficult in practice, in particular the rolling of the free end to a circular cross-section sleeve.
  • no cables can be passed from the housing into the door via the known hinge.
  • the hinge allows the WO 2007/031416 A1 only a maximum opening angle of just over 90 °, but there is a need for greater freedom of movement of the door.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a household appliance, which is easy to manufacture, in which a cable channel can be integrated into the hinge element, and which allows an even larger opening angle of the door.
  • This object is achieved in that at an above-mentioned hinge element at the free end of the support arm, two projecting in opposite directions bearing journals are arranged.
  • the two journals form a bearing element and replaced the rolled-up sleeve of the hinge element according to the prior art.
  • the two journals are aligned along a common pivot axis of the hinge.
  • the journals thus define the pivot axis by their longitudinal direction.
  • a bearing pin is preferably placed on one of the two bearing journals and is mounted in a bearing eye fixed to the door.
  • the two bearing journals preferably have at least substantially the same cross-section, which may be, for example, each polyhedron-shaped, rectangular or square with edge lengths of the same length within ⁇ 0.1 to ⁇ 0.5 mm.
  • the two bearing pins are arranged at least substantially mirror-symmetrically to a plane perpendicular to the pivot axis.
  • the hinge element can be used for both sides, so that an articulation of the door on both the left and on the right side of the body is possible.
  • the two bearing journals are preferably aligned on a line or parallel to one another and preferably have the same length.
  • the entire hinge element is substantially mirror-symmetrical to a plane perpendicular to the pivot axis.
  • the hinge element is preferably formed from a flat material blank, in particular from a sheet metal blank.
  • the hinge element is made of a steel sheet.
  • high strength steel is used, for example chromium steel or stainless steel.
  • the thickness of the flat material blank is preferably 3 mm to 7 mm, particularly preferably about 5 ⁇ 1 mm.
  • the hinge element can be easily manufactured as a stamped / bent part, preferably by punching from a steel sheet and subsequent bending.
  • mounting portion, support arm and journals can be made in one piece.
  • the hinge element can be produced inexpensively and yet has a high strength.
  • the support arm has a curvature in a section perpendicular to the pivot axis. As a result, a recess is formed, into which a side wall of a receiving space of the door engages when opening the door, whereby a large opening angle is allowed.
  • the curvature of the support arm is designed so that an even larger opening angle is made possible than in the WO 2007/031416 A1 ,
  • the hinge element is adapted as far as possible to the pivoting movement of the side wall of the receiving space of the door.
  • the support arm is angled at an obtuse angle from the mounting portion to - together with the mounting portion - to span a semicircle along which the side wall is pivoted when opening the door.
  • the mounting portion and the adjacent thereto portion of the support arm are adapted as far as possible to a semicircular shape.
  • the mounting portion will usually be straight, as it is to attach to the body of a household appliance.
  • the support arm is then at an obtuse angle of preferably more than 100 °, more preferably more than 110 ° and more preferably from about 115 ° ⁇ 5 ° from the mounting section.
  • the support arm overall describes a curve or a curve of more than 90 °, preferably of more than 120 °, and particularly preferably of 130 ° up to 150 °. This allows to position the journals near the pivot axis and allows an even larger opening angle.
  • the radius of curvature of the support arm is different over its length.
  • the transition between different radii of curvature is preferably continuous, so that the support arm is particularly stable. Continuously variable radii of curvature can be produced in a hot bending process.
  • the radius of curvature of the support arm continuously increases from a point near the mounting portion to a certain point, and from there to a point near the free end.
  • the support arm has a first section adjoining the mounting section, which may be e.g. is substantially not or little curved, and a second portion adjacent to the first portion, the first portion and an end portion adjacent the second portion including an acute intermediate angle. This intermediate angle is from 30 ° to 50 °.
  • the first portion preferably has a total bending of less than 10 °, and the second portion preferably has a maximum radius of curvature of about 5 to 15 mm.
  • the second portion connects the first portion, which extends substantially along the circumferential direction of the pivoting movement, with the end portion of the support arm, at the end of which the bearing journals are arranged and which extends substantially radially to the pivot axis.
  • the end portion preferably has no or only a slight curvature, since it is adapted as far as possible to the radial direction.
  • the end portion may also have a slight bend of e.g. up to 10 °.
  • the shape of the support arm as far as possible to the circular pivoting of the side wall of the arranged in the door receiving space customized.
  • This allows an opening angle of the hinge of more than 130 °, in particular of up to 135 °, preferably up to 140 ° and possibly even up to 160 ° or 180 °.
  • the support arm In the direction of the pivot axis, the support arm preferably has a lower height at its free end than the mounting portion. As a result, the available space is used optimally and created sufficient space for the protruding in opposite directions bearing pin.
  • the support arm tapers from the mounting portion toward its free end in the direction of the pivot axis at least on one side.
  • the forces are optimally distributed over the hinge element.
  • the support arm tapers from the mounting portion to its free end in the direction of the pivot axis on both sides.
  • the hinge element is slightly elastic, which increases the resistance to breakage of the hinge element when the door is exposed to heavy loads.
  • the support arm tapers in the direction of the pivot axis mirror-symmetrically to a plane perpendicular to the pivot axis of the mounting portion to its free end. This leads to a high load capacity and allows to use the hinge element both as a right stop and as a left stop.
  • the taper is advantageously not constant over the length of the support arm. Rather, the support arm preferably tapers over a first portion adjacent to the mounting portion and has a constant height in the direction of the pivot axis at its end portion adjacent the free end. Particularly preferably, the taper runs at least partially approximately linearly, that is to say in the case of a support arm spread out on a plane, approximately along a straight line. An exponential decreasing from the mounting portion to the free end tapering is also conceivable.
  • the housing typically has two or three hinges, possibly only one or all hinges are equipped with an above-mentioned hinge element.
  • the bearing pins preferably have a non-rotationally symmetrical and in particular rectangular or square cross section. This makes it possible to each rotatably receive one of the two journals in a bearing pin, which is mounted in a bearing eye fixed to the door.
  • a bearing pin is placed on the downwardly projecting journal, especially if it is an upper hinge of the door.
  • the bearing pin preferably has a circular-cylindrical section, on whose front side a hole or a receptacle for a bearing journal is arranged.
  • the receptacle preferably has the same, not rotationally symmetrical and preferably rectangular or square cross-sectional shape as the bearing pin, so that the bearing pin can be rotatably received in the bearing pin.
  • the hole is preferably a through hole.
  • the bearing pin in addition to the receptacle preferably has a continuous cable channel, which runs in particular parallel to the pivot axis. This can be done in an elegant way cables from the body in the door. This is particularly useful when there is a control electronics in the door, e.g. a display operating module.
  • the bearing pin is preferably injection molded from plastic. Particularly preferably it consists of a good sliding plastic such as POM (polyoxymethylene).
  • the door has an outer wall and an inner wall, between which there is a cavity filled with insulating foam material. Outer and inner wall are - for example, at the upper and lower transverse edges of the door - connected by a connector or a door closure strip,
  • the bearing eye in the connector is inserted.
  • the bearing eye is preferably formed by a bearing bush formed on the connecting piece.
  • the connecting piece is preferably made of plastic, for example ABS and is preferably designed as an injection molded part.
  • the support arm preferably engages in a body facing the open receiving space of the door. In the open position of the door engages a side wall of this receiving space in the recess formed by the curvature of the support arm, whereby a particularly large opening angle is achieved.
  • the door is preferably articulated on two hinges on the body, wherein the above-mentioned hinge element can be used only on a hinge, in particular the upper hinge, or on both hinges.
  • the invention is directed to a household appliance, in particular a refrigerator, which is equipped with the above-mentioned hinge element and housing.

  • Outer and inner wall are connected to each other at the upper transverse edge of the door by a connecting piece 7, which simultaneously closes the cavity in the door upwards. Downwardly, the cavity is also bounded by a lower connector (not shown). This may be the same or different formed as the upper connector 7.

  • the support arm 12 tapers from the mounting portion 11 to its free end, from which the two journals 16a and 16b protrude. This ensures that the hinge element 10 does not project beyond the upper portion 9 of the front frame of the body 4, which is only about 40 to 60 mm high, so as not to unnecessarily reduce the useful space of the refrigerator.
