Description

[0001] The invention relates to a household appliance with a housing in which a storage space for food is formed. The storage space can be closed by a door of the household appliance, which is movably arranged on the housing. A door leaf of the door can be moved by a movement device by means of a pivoting and sliding movement between a closed position and an open position such that a front side of the door leaf facing away from the storage space is oriented forward in the closed position and is also oriented forward in the fully open position.

[0002] Such a household appliance is known, for example, from DE 10 2009 028 160 A1. In contrast to other conventional designs in which a door for closing a cooking chamber can only be moved back and forth about a stationary vertical axis of rotation between an open and a closed position in a pivoting or rotational movement, this document also shows a door that can be moved from a closed position to an open position by a combined pivoting and sliding movement. There, too, between the closed position and the open position, and thus also along the entire path of movement between these two end positions, one front side of the door leaf always faces the observer looking in the direction of the cooking appliance and thus also in the direction of the door, and standing in front of the household appliance.

[0003] Such pivoting-sliding movements, with the front of the door leaf always facing away from the receiving space, require a more complex movement mechanism to move the door. Since such a pivoting-sliding movement is more complex than a simple pivoting movement, this movement mechanism is also more complex.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a household appliance which has a door which can be moved between a closed and an open position by means of a pivoting-sliding movement and in which a movement device provided for this purpose enables a more precise, continuous movement of the door leaf.

[0005] This object is achieved by a household appliance having the features of claim 1.

[0006] A household appliance according to the invention comprises a housing in which a storage space for food is formed. The storage space can be closed by a door. The door is movably arranged on the housing. A door leaf of this door can be moved between a closed position and an open position by a movement device of the household appliance. The movement device is designed such that the door, and in particular the door leaf, performs a pivoting and sliding movement and thus performs a combined movement of two different types of movement. The front side of the door leaf is always oriented towards the front on the path of movement between the closed position and the open position, viewed in the depth direction of the household appliance, and is thus arranged facing away from the storage space along the entire path of movement.Thus, in particular this front side of the door leaf is arranged along this entire movement path between these end positions of the door facing an observer standing in front of the household appliance and looking in the direction of the household appliance and in particular the accommodation space. A key idea of the invention is that the movement device has at least one telescopic unit which is connected to the door leaf. A telescopic unit thus provides a device which is composed of at least two separate parts which are coupled to one another and guided into one another and can thus move relative to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis. By configuring the movement device in this way with a telescopic unit, the movement guidance of the door on its complex movement path with the pivoting and sliding movement is possible more precisely. A smoother movement of the door leaf is enabled.The door leaf can be moved more smoothly and smoothly, preventing unwanted impact into an end position. Furthermore, it also prevents the door leaf from snapping over at certain positions along the movement path, thus preventing a jerky movement of the door leaf caused by the movement device. In particular, this design of the movement device also achieves a more uniform and thus more continuous movement, also in terms of the speed of the door leaf's movement between the closed and open positions.

[0007] The door leaf is located in the open position and in the closed position and thus in particular also along the entire path of movement outside the housing and in particular in the depth direction of the household appliance in front of the housing.

[0008] Preferably, the telescopic unit is a telescopic rail that is connected to the door leaf at a first connection point. The connection of the telescopic rail to the door leaf at this connection point can be direct or indirect. This means that the telescopic rail is mechanically connected directly to the door leaf or via an additional, separate connecting part.

[0009] The same applies to the above-mentioned inventive design of the household appliance, in which the telescopic unit is connected to the door leaf.

[0010] A telescopic rail is, in particular, a linear rail comprising two rail elements that can be moved relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the telescopic rail. The rail elements are guided into each other and, with their respective longitudinal axes, also extend in the longitudinal direction of the telescopic rail. One of these rail elements is guided within the other, allowing the telescopic rail to extend and shorten along the longitudinal axis.

[0011] In particular, it is provided that the first connection point is formed in a first end-side third of the width, in particular a first end-side quarter of the width, of a width of the door leaf. This also means that, viewed in the width direction of the door leaf, this first connection point is positioned relatively close to a vertical side edge of the door leaf, but the connection point is formed on a horizontal upper or lower edge of the door leaf. By means of such a connection point oriented relatively far towards the vertical edge, the movement guidance can be improved and the transmission and absorption of forces, in particular for the very continuous movement of the door leaf, can be improved.

[0012] In addition, lever forces of the door leaf can be absorbed more effectively, particularly as the door leaf opens further.

[0013] The telescopic unit can also be designed as a full-extension unit. However, a non-full-extension unit can also be provided. Especially with a non-full-extension unit, a different connection point can be provided, particularly in the middle third of the width of the door leaf. In this design, the entire telescopic unit can preferably also be designed to rotate around a pivot point.

[0014] Preferably, the telescopic unit is stationary during the pivoting and sliding movement of the door leaf and only changes in length. This means that the telescopic unit does not perform any pivoting or linear sliding movement, but remains fixed in position as a whole. Only the extension or retraction takes place, and thus only the relative movement of rail parts to one another is carried out. This also enables very precise movement control and provides a robust unit that can absorb corresponding forces and is also correspondingly resilient. Furthermore, this stationary arrangement of the telescopic unit also simplifies the movement sequence of components of the movement device relative to one another, thereby reducing the complexity of the entire movement scenario of parts of the movement device. This reduces the susceptibility to errors in the movement device.

[0015] In particular, it is provided that the telescopic unit is arranged with its longitudinal axis on the housing in such a way that, in the open end position of the door leaf, the longitudinal axis is arranged parallel or at least substantially parallel, for example, at an angle of no more than 10°, in particular no more than 5°, to the plane of the door leaf. This is a further very advantageous embodiment, as it also ensures that the door leaf is moved into the end position, and thus into the open position, accurately and continuously, and the telescopic unit itself does not have to rotate or perform a sliding movement as a whole. This also further enhances the advantages already mentioned above.

[0016] In particular, the movement device is provided with a guide slot in which a sliding lever of the movement device, separate from the telescopic unit, is guided. Such an additional sliding lever enables the guidance of the pivoting and sliding movement of the door leaf to be even more stable and thus more precise. A further mechanical element is thus provided that supports the movement of the door leaf. In particular, the sliding lever is a rigid element and thus cannot be changed in length.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the sliding lever is directly or indirectly connected to the door leaf at a second connection point that is different from the first connection point. This also further improves the movement guidance and better absorbs forces that can occur when the door is relatively wide open, right up to the fully open end position of the door leaf. This allows the door leaf to be held in its position virtually at all times, preventing unwanted downward tilting.

[0018] Preferably, the second connection point is formed in a second end-side third of the width, in particular a second end-side quarter of the width, of the door leaf. In particular, the preferably two existing connection points are thus spaced as far apart as possible in the width direction of the door leaf, thus further enhancing the aforementioned advantages.

[0019] In particular, it is intended that the sliding lever is always oriented with its longitudinal axis in the depth direction of the household appliance for at least 90% of its total possible displacement path in the guide slot. A change in orientation can then occur, particularly in the two end positions. Depending on the geometry of the guide slot, this sliding lever is therefore always moved in this design such that it follows the course of the guide slot between its end positions, but always remains aligned in the depth direction of the household appliance with regard to the orientation of its longitudinal axis. This also reduces the complexity of the movement of the sliding lever, which in turn also reduces the overall movement sequence of the individual components of the movement device. This also ensures that functionality is permanently high and undesirably rapid wear is avoided.

[0020] Preferably, the movement device comprises a bar-shaped base part, to which the separate telescopic unit is rotatably connected at a first coupling point, with the door leaf being mounted on the base part. In this context, the base part is also a separate component from the door leaf. This base part, which is particularly formed in one piece, also provides an additional component through which the coupling between the door leaf and the telescopic unit is achieved. In particular, the base part is a connecting part between the telescopic unit and a preferably present sliding lever of the movement device.Since the telescopic unit and the sliding lever, which is also preferably present, must be articulated to the coupling parts provided for them, a design without a base part also requires a respective articulated connection between the telescopic unit and the door leaf, as well as between the sliding lever and the door leaf, if a direct connection between these parts of the movement device and the door leaf is provided. In this context, when installing an additional, separate base part, it is no longer necessary for such articulated connections to be provided directly on the door leaf, which makes the design of the door leaf simpler and less complex. Such an articulated connection is then formed between the base part and the telescopic unit and, if a sliding lever is present, also between the sliding lever and the base part.

[0021] It can preferably be provided that the base part is connected to the door leaf by one or more plug-in connections. For this purpose, upwardly projecting coupling pins can be provided on the base part, which engage in corresponding counter-elements, in particular insertion holes, formed on a lower edge of the door leaf. The door leaf is then placed onto the base part, in particular from above, and mechanically connected to the base part accordingly. In addition to a simple plug-in connection, a snap-in connection can also be provided between the door leaf and the base part. Likewise, another non-destructively detachable connection can be provided, for example a screw connection.

[0022] However, other types of connection are also possible, in particular non-destructive, permanent connections can be provided.

[0023] Preferably, the front of the door leaf, in the open position of the door leaf, is arranged at an angle of between 90° and 160°, in particular between 100° and 140°, to a plane spanned by the width and height directions of the household appliance. Such a specific, inclined position of the front allows for more user-friendly observation of the front in the open state or in the open position of the door. A user can thus easily and essentially simultaneously look into the receiving space and also perceive the front of the door leaf in its entirety. This is also particularly advantageous if, in an advantageous embodiment, the door leaf has an operating and / or display device on its front.

[0024] In a further advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the movement device has two separate telescopic units, which are designed in particular as telescopic rails. In such a configuration, a second telescopic rail is then provided, in particular instead of the above-mentioned sliding lever. In such a configuration, the telescopic units are then also rotatably mounted, in particular in a rear region in which they protrude into the housing. In such a configuration, the telescopic rails can also be arranged such that they cross on the path of movement of the door leaf between the end positions. In such a configuration, it can also be provided that both telescopic units are not arranged in a fixed position, but can also rotate and / or move linearly relative to the housing as a whole.In particular, the telescopic rails are then each provided with a guide pin, which is guided into a guide curve or guide slot. In particular, it is then also provided that for each opening angle of the door leaf, only one extension length and one orientation of each telescopic rail is associated, thus predetermining the orientation of the door leaf. This also enables precise and jerk-free movement of the door leaf.

[0025] Alternative designs to a movement device with at least one telescopic unit can also be seen in the movement device being designed with levers and cables, in which case synchronization of the cables can be provided. Non-circular wheels, in particular elliptical wheels, can also be provided. Furthermore, the movement device can also have at least one multi-joint hinge.

[0026] In a further advantageous embodiment, a separate thermal protection element can be provided on a rear side of the door leaf, which is opposite the front side and faces the receiving space when the door is closed. This element is arranged in particular when the door leaf is opened. In particular, this rear side is then largely covered when the door leaf is opened. This is particularly advantageous in that a rear side of the door leaf, which may have heated up to a greater or lesser extent, is then not exposed and thus no undesired heat radiation occurs on the rear side of the door onto objects adjacent to it when the door leaf is open, such as pieces of furniture or the like. In particular, protection is then also achieved if a user touches the door leaf and particularly wants to touch this rear side.This protective element is often designed as a net or fabric roller blind. It can then unroll automatically when the door is opened.

[0027] It can also be provided to leave a vertically opening door free at the top. A corresponding embodiment of the invention can also be provided for a door that can be retracted into the housing and then retracted into a storage compartment.

[0028] In a further advantageous embodiment, the movement device comprises at least one movement damper, with which the door leaf dampens further movement at least when reaching or shortly before reaching the closed position and / or when reaching or shortly before reaching the open position. This prevents an undesirably hard impact at the respective end position. The movement damper can be integrated into the telescopic unit.

[0029] In a further advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the movement of the door leaf from the closed position to the open position and / or from the open position to the closed position occurs automatically and is thus, in particular, motor-driven. In such a configuration, it can then be provided, for example, that this automatic movement is initiated by actuating a control element.

[0030] It can also be provided that the door leaf can be decoupled for cleaning the back of the door leaf, so that a cleaning position can also be assumed. In this context, it could be provided that one of the axes can be decoupled, in particular a connection to a component of the movement device can then also be decoupled, so that the door leaf can be arranged with the back facing forward, thus allowing this inside or back to be easily cleaned. This can occur both with a pivoting and sliding movement of the door leaf oriented in the width direction, and with a pivoting and sliding movement of the door leaf in the height direction and thus downwards or upwards.

[0031] In principle, the pivoting and sliding movement of the door leaf is possible both in the width direction of the household appliance and in the height direction. A combination of top and bottom connections is also possible, meaning that, for example, a telescopic unit can be directly or indirectly connected to the lower area of the door and thus also located in the lower area of the housing, and another component of the movement device, such as a sliding lever or another telescopic unit, can be directly or indirectly connected to the upper area of the door leaf and thus located in the upper area of the housing. This can also be configured in the opposite direction.

[0032] Alternatively, the movement device can be designed with levers and cables, with synchronization of the cables being provided. Non-circular wheels, such as elliptical wheels, can also be provided. In a further alternative, the movement device can also have a multi-joint hinge.

[0033] A further independent aspect of the invention relates to a household appliance with a housing in which a receiving space for food is formed. The receiving space can be closed by a door. The door is movably arranged on the housing. A door leaf of this door can be moved between a closed position and an open position by a movement device of the household appliance. The movement device is designed such that the door and in particular the door leaf performs a pivoting and sliding movement and thus performs a combined movement of two different types of movement. The front side of the door leaf is always oriented towards the front on the movement path between the closed position and the open position, viewed in the depth direction of the household appliance, and is thus arranged facing away from the receiving space along the entire movement path.Thus, this front side of the door leaf, in particular, is arranged along this entire movement path between these end positions of the door, facing an observer standing in front of the household appliance and looking in the direction of the household appliance and, in particular, the receiving space. A key concept of the invention is that, in the open position of the door leaf, the front side of the door leaf is arranged at an angle between 90° and 160°, in particular between 100° and 140°, to a plane spanned by the width and height directions of the household appliance.

[0034] The terms “top”, “bottom”, “front”, “back”, “horizontal”, “vertical”, “depth direction”, “width direction”, “height direction” etc. indicate the positions and orientations given when the device is used and arranged as intended and when an observer is standing in front of the device and looking in the direction of the device.

[0035] Further features of the invention emerge from the claims, the figures and the description of the figures. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures can be used not only in the respective combination specified, but also in other combinations without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, embodiments are to be regarded as encompassed and disclosed by the invention that are not explicitly shown and explained in the figures, but which emerge and can be produced by separate combinations of features from the explained embodiments. Embodiments and combinations of features are also to be regarded as disclosed that therefore do not have all the features of an originally formulated independent claim.Furthermore, embodiments and combinations of features are to be regarded as disclosed, in particular by the embodiments set out above, which go beyond or deviate from the combinations of features set out in the reliances of the claims.

[0036] Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to schematic drawings. They show: Fig. 1 a perspective view of an embodiment of a household appliance according to the invention with a door shown in the closed position, which door is designed to close a receiving space of the household appliance; Fig. 2 the representation of the household appliance according to Fig. 1 with a door shown in the open position; Fig. 3 a perspective view of components of a movement device of the household appliance, which is designed to carry out a pivoting-sliding movement of the door; Fig. 4 a schematic plan view of the household appliance according to Fig. 1 with the closed door and the positions of the components of the movement device in this closed position of the door; Fig. 5 a plan view of the household appliance according to Fig. 4 in an intermediate position of the door shown between an open and a closed position of the door; and Fig. 6 a plan view according to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 with the door in the open position according to Fig. 2.

[0037] In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference symbols.

[0038] In Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a household appliance 1, which is designed in particular for preparing food and is in particular a cooking appliance. The household appliance 1 can therefore be an oven, a microwave oven, a steamer, or the like. The household appliance 1 comprises a housing 2, in which a receiving space 3 ( Fig. 2) is designed for preparing food. The receiving space 3 is therefore a cooking space in the exemplary embodiment.

[0039] This receiving space 3 is defined by the walls of the insert 4, which in the exemplary embodiment is a muffle. This insert 4 is accommodated or arranged in the housing 2.

[0040] The household appliance 1 further comprises a door 5, which Fig. 1 is shown in the closed state and thus in the closed position. In this shown closed end position, the door 5 closes the receiving space 3 at the front. The door 5 has a front side 6 which, in the closed position of the door 5, faces away from the receiving space 3 and is oriented forward, thus facing an observer looking at the household appliance 1 in the depth direction and thus in the z-direction.

[0041] The door 5 comprises, for example, a handle 7, the position of which is to be understood only as an example and not as exhaustive. It has, in particular, on a plate-like door leaf 8, an operating and / or display device 9, which is also formed on the front side 6 and is thus accessible from the front. The door 5 and thus in particular also the plate-like door leaf 8 are movable by a combined pivoting and sliding movement from the shown closed position into a Fig. 2 shown open position, which is also an end position. As shown in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 2, in this open position of the door 5 and thus also of the door leaf 8, the front side 6 continues to face forward and thus faces an observer looking into the receiving space 3. This front side 6 is thus facing forward along the entire path of movement between the closed position and the open position.

[0042] It can be provided that a protective element for protection against heat radiation is arranged on a rear side 10 or inner side opposite the front side 6, which faces the receiving space 3 when the door 5 is closed. If necessary, a protective element extending from the rear side 10 in the direction shown in Fig. This protective element at least partially prevents the heat energy released in the open position shown in Figure 2 from reaching adjacent objects, such as furniture parts. Even if a user grasps the door leaf 8, direct contact with the rear side 10 can be prevented.

[0043] The household appliance 1 comprises a movement device 11 with which the door 5 and thus also the door leaf 8 can be moved between the end positions shown.

[0044] For further explanation of embodiments of the movement device 11, reference is then made to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. In Fig. 4 shows a top view of the household appliance 1, and thus a view in the xz plane. In the embodiment shown, the movement device 11 comprises a telescopic unit 12, which is designed in particular as a telescopic rail. The telescopic unit 12 comprises a longitudinal axis A, and the telescopic unit 12, viewed as a whole, is arranged stationary in the housing 2. The telescopic unit 12 comprises a first rail part 13 and a second rail part 14. The two rail parts 13 and 14 are also designed as elongated components and are guided into one another, wherein they can move relative to one another along the longitudinal axis A. The telescopic unit 12 is thus designed to be reversibly variable in length along the longitudinal axis A. As can be seen, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the movement device 11 also comprises a sliding lever 15, which is a rigid component and thus cannot be varied in length and is formed in one piece.The sliding lever 15 is coupled to a guide slot 22 of the movement device 11 by a coupling element 16 and guided therein. A further coupling element 17 is formed at the opposite second end of the serpentine, in particular linear, sliding lever 15. In one embodiment, the sliding lever 15 is directly connected, in particular articulated, to the door leaf 8 by this further coupling element 17. This connection can be made, for example, at a lower edge 8a (. Fig. 2) of the door leaf 8. However, it can also be provided that this connection is formed at an upper edge 8b ( Fig. 2) of the door leaf 8. In particular, this connection between the further coupling element 17 and the door leaf 8 is designed to be articulated. Correspondingly, a connection between a coupling element 18 of the telescopic unit 12, which is designed in particular on the second rail part 14, and the door leaf 8 is also designed directly and can be realized on the lower edge 8a as well as on the upper edge 8b. This connection would then also be designed to be articulated. In particular, a telescopic rail is provided here as a so-called full extension. However, a non-full extension can also be provided, in which case in particular a different connection point to the door leaf 8 is provided, in particular approximately in the middle of the width of the door leaf 8.

[0045] In an advantageous embodiment, the movement device 11 comprises an additional, beam-like and separate base part 19, to which both the sliding lever 15 is pivotally connected to the coupling element 17 in the exemplary embodiment, and the telescopic unit 12 is pivotally connected, in particular to the coupling element 18 of the second rail part 14. The base part 19 is a linear, one-piece part. As shown in Fig. 4, a first connection point 20 of the telescopic unit 12 to the base part 19 is formed in a first, end-side third of the width, in particular a first end-side quarter of the width, of the entire width of the base part 19 viewed in the x-direction when the door 5 is closed. In this width direction and thus viewed in the x-direction, a second connection point 21, which represents the connection between the sliding lever 15 and the base part 19 via the further coupling element 17, is formed in a second, opposite, end-side third of the width, in particular in a second end-side quarter of the width of the base part 19. The two connection points 20 and 21 are therefore spaced apart from one another as far as possible in the width direction and are realized as close as possible to the ends of the base part 19.

[0046] A correspondingly advantageous design would also be provided if the connection points 20 and 21 were realized directly with the door leaf 8.

[0047] In Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the movement device 11. It shows the telescopic unit 12 with the rail parts 13 and 14. A design is shown in which the beam-shaped base part 19 is present and represents the connecting element between the sliding lever 15 and the telescopic unit 12. Coupling pins 23 and 24 of the base part 19 are also shown here as examples, onto which the door leaf 8 can be placed from above. In particular, corresponding receptacles are provided in the lower edge 8a of the door leaf 8, into which these coupling pins 23 and 24 can be inserted.

[0048] In Fig. 5 is a corresponding plan view of the household appliance 1 as in Fig. 4 shown. In Fig. 5, the door 5 and thus also the door leaf 8 is in an intermediate position between the Fig. 4 shown closed position and the one in Fig. 2 and then also in Fig. 6 shown open position. As can be seen here, the telescopic unit 12 remains stationary even with this movement guide and thus does not perform any rotational movements or any linear displacement considered as a whole, but merely a change in length along the longitudinal axis A is formed by the second rail part 14 being partially extended from the first rail part 13.

[0049] For the sake of clarity, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the door leaf 8 is only indicated by a reference numeral 8 in order to also identify the base part 19, onto which the door leaf 8 is mounted from above. In particular, a plug-in connection, a snap-in connection, a screw connection, or the like can be provided here.

[0050] In addition, Fig. 5 also shows that the sliding lever 15 is displaced in the guide slot 22. In particular, however, it can also be seen that the sliding lever 15 remains oriented unchanged with its longitudinal axis B and thus at least 90% of the length of the displacement path between the closed position in Fig. 4 and the open position in Fig. 6 remains unchanged in the depth direction and thus in the z-direction of the household appliance 1. Therefore, the sliding lever 15 performs no rotational movement relative to the housing 2, possibly except for small sections at the very beginning and at the very end of the displacement path.

[0051] In Fig. 6 then shows the household appliance 1 in a corresponding schematic plan view, wherein the fully open position of the door 5 and thus also of the door leaf 8 is shown, as is also the case in Fig. 2. As can be seen here, the base part 19 is arranged with its longitudinal axis C substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis A. The orientation of the door leaf 8 to this longitudinal axis A is therefore also correspondingly. In particular, an angle α, which is measured between the width direction and thus x-direction and the longitudinal axis C, is between 100° and 140° in this open position of the door 5 and thus also of the door leaf 8.

[0052] In a further embodiment, it can also be provided that instead of the sliding lever 15, a further, second separate telescopic unit 12 is provided.

[0053] In such a configuration, it can then also be provided that at least one of the two telescopic units, in particular both telescopic units, are also rotatably and thus articulately mounted in the housing 2 and can thus also perform at least one pivoting movement relative to the housing 2.

[0054] In Fig.6 also shows a preferred embodiment in which a distance a, which is measured in the width direction of the household appliance 1 and is measured between an outer side of a side wall of the housing 2 and a front edge of the door leaf 8 in the open position of the door 5 or the door leaf 8, and thus facing away from the housing 2, is less than 450 mm. Especially when the household appliance is a built-in appliance and is therefore arranged in a furniture niche of a furniture wall, the space required in this width direction to a wall that delimits the furniture niche is significantly smaller than in prior art appliances in which the door is pushed completely next to the housing.
