DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(16) In the figures, elements which are the same or functionally the same are provided with the same reference numerals.
(17) Referring now to the figures of the drawings in detail and first, particularly to
(18) The domestic refrigeration appliance 1 contains a housing 2 in which an internal container is configured, the internal container defining by means of walls a first receiver space for food, which on the front face is closable by at least one door, in the exemplary embodiment two separate doors 3 and 4. The doors 3 and 4 are pivotably arranged on the housing 2 and may be pivoted outwardly independently of one another. The pivoting in this case is permitted about a vertical axis and thus about an axis in the vertical direction (y-direction).
(19) The receiver space which is closable by the preferably two doors 3 and 4 in the exemplary embodiment is a refrigeration compartment.
(20) Moreover, the domestic refrigeration appliance 1 contains a further internal container 5 which defines by means of its walls a further second receiver space 6 which is separate from the first receiver space and which in this case is a freezer compartment. In the exemplary embodiment it is provided that in the second receiver space 6 a first extending carriage 7 may be pushed in and pulled out in the depth direction and thus in the z-direction of the domestic refrigeration appliance 1. In particular, in the exemplary embodiment it is provided that the domestic refrigeration appliance 1 contains a second extending carriage 8 which in a corresponding manner may be pushed into and pulled out of the receiver space 6.
(21) The following description is disclosed with reference to the first extending carriage 7. The embodiments may advantageously also apply to the second extending carriage 8. The extending carriages 7 and 8 are extension devices of the domestic refrigeration appliance 1.
(22) The first extending carriage 7 contains a door 9 which represents a front wall and thus also a front terminal part and thus also an external part of the domestic refrigeration appliance 1. The first extending carriage 7 also has a food receiver-container which in this case is a drawer 10 which is thus configured as a trough-like container and is arranged for loading with food or for removing food from above. The extending carriage 7 also preferably contains on opposing sides extension rails 11 which in each case are arranged with a fixed rail on an inner face of vertical side walls of the internal container 5 and also in each case have at least one running rail. The extension rails 11 are therefore in particular telescopic extensions. The extension rails 11 are arranged on opposing sides of the drawer 10. In particular, in the exemplary embodiment it is provided that the first extending carriage 7 has rail-like holders and/or retaining elements 12, wherein in
(23) In
(24) Moreover, it may also be identified that in the exemplary embodiment it is provided that in the freezer compartment and/or the second receiver space 6 cooling energy is introduced through a module 16 which, in particular, has an evaporator 17 and a fan 18 and which is preferably arranged in a separate housing 19. Cooling energy is produced by the evaporator 17 via this unit which represents a refrigeration device, the cooling energy then being circulated as airflow 20 by the fan 18 in the receiver space 6.
(25) In
(26) In
(27) As may be identified, in this case the drawer 10 has two opposing vertical side walls 22 and 23. The side wall 22 comprises an upper wall portion 24 and a lower wall portion 25 viewed in the vertical direction. The two wall portions 24 and 25, viewed in the width direction of the domestic refrigeration appliance 1, are configured so as to be offset to one another, wherein to this end a discrete step 26 is configured approximately halfway up the side wall 22. Viewed in the width direction, the upper wall portion 24 is thus arranged offset further to the outside than the lower wall portion 25. An embodiment of the opposing side wall 23 is also analogous.
(28) In one advantageous embodiment, in the mounted state the drawer 10 is located on guide elements 27 and 28 of the retaining elements 12, 15, wherein it is precisely on these steps that the drawer 10 is positioned on these guide elements 27 and 28. The guide elements 27 and 28 are outwardly bent webs and/or wings. The guide elements 27 and 28 are oriented outwardly from the upper edges 68 and 69 from respective plate-shaped base parts 70 and 71 of the retaining elements 12 and 15.
(29) It may also be identified that webs and/or positioning runners 30 and 31 are integrally formed on a base and/or a lower face 29 of the drawer 10, the webs and/or positioning runners extending downwardly from this lower face 29.
(30) Moreover, in
(31) The carrier rails 32 and 33 are components of a carrier tray and/or tray 34 which is shown in
(32) A receiver cage and/or the support cage 61 for the drawer 10 is formed by the base plate 62, which has the support plate 35 and the carrier rails 32 and 33, and the retaining elements 12 and 15. This support cage 61 is suspended on the extension rails 11 separate therefrom.
(33) As may be identified in
(34) An extension stop element 42 is configured on a front end 41 of the sliding guide 37, the extension stop element, in particular, being a stop projection oriented in the width direction. In the exemplary embodiment this extension stop element 42 defines the sliding guide 37 to the front and also merges integrally with the sliding guide wall 38.
(35) Accordingly, a corresponding design with a sliding guide and corresponding coupling recess and corresponding extension stop element is also implemented in the further carrier rail 33 on an upper face 43 facing the drawer 10, as is configured on the carrier rail 32 and has been described.
(36) Thus it is preferably provided that the coupling recess 40, the sliding guide 37 and the extension stop element 42 are configured in a carrier rail 32, 33, in particular are integrated therein.
(37) In
(38) In
(39) It may be identified that a stop 44 is integrally formed on the lower face 29, in particular on a transition between the lower face 29 and the side wall 22, the stop extending downwardly on the lower face 29. The stop 44 is configured, in particular, as an elongated runner and preferably extends in a straight line in the depth direction. As may be identified in
(40) In
(41) In
(42) As may be identified in
(43) Moreover, it may also be identified that a front end 52 of the stop 44 is offset to the rear relative to a front end 53 of the drawer 10 and thus in particular also the lower face 29.
(44) Moreover, viewed in the vertical direction, the stop 44 is configured with a dimension such that in the storage position it overlaps level with the extension stop element 42 in order to achieve an effective extension stop in this connection.
(45) In
(46) It is very advantageous, in particular, when the coupling element 50 and the coupling recess 40 are configured such that a penetration of the coupling element 50 in the coupling recess 40 is achieved over the entire movement path of the drawer 10 on the carrier rail 32 and the carrier rail 33. This means that the coupled state between the coupling element 50 and the coupling recess 40 is maintained over the entire clearance 54. This is particularly advantageous since a simple removal of the drawer 10 from the carrier rails 32 and 33 and a simple positioning onto the carrier rails 32 and 33 is permitted but also with this possibility of relative movement an undesired tilting of the drawer 10 about an axis oriented in the width direction is prevented. It is particularly advantageous if, as may be seen clearly in
(47) In
(48) In
(49) As may be identified, according to the assembled view of the support cage 61 in
(50) As in particular may be identified in
(51) With regard to the suspension of the retaining elements 12 and 15 on the extension rails 11, in particular on the running rails thereof, it may also be provided that corresponding engagement elements are coupled with receivers, so that an engagement and/or toothed connection in the vertical direction is present between a retaining element 12, 15 and an extension rail 11, so that a coupling of the movement between these components is provided in the depth direction when pushed in and out.
