Description

[0001] Door with movable handle with handle blocks spanning a front panel, as well as household appliance

[0002] One aspect of the invention relates to a door for a household appliance. The door comprises a door leaf and a handle movable relative to the door leaf. The handle is arranged on the door leaf. The handle comprises a handle bar and handle brackets projecting therefrom toward the door leaf. The handle brackets are separate and spaced-apart elements in this context. Another aspect of the invention relates to a household appliance with a door.

[0003] Doors for household appliances are known in many different versions. For example, in household appliances for preparing food, such as cooking appliances, it is also known for a handle to be arranged on the outside of a door leaf so that it can be moved relative to the door leaf. This is particularly the case with doors that can be retracted into a storage compartment of the household appliance when opened. In one exemplary embodiment, such a handle can be pivoted relative to the door leaf about a horizontal axis oriented in the width direction. In such known handles, the handle blocks are directly attached to a beam-like upper bearing part. This beam-like upper bearing part is opposite the handle bar, and the handle blocks end directly at this upper bearing part. This upper bearing part usually extends over at least the entire width of the handle bar and has its longitudinal axis oriented in the width direction of the door. In particular, this upper bearing part has a width that corresponds to the door leaf.This bearing upper part is usually also a visible front component, and its front side is flush with the front of the door panel in the handle's basic position, in which it is not pivoted. This bearing upper part is then connected to components arranged behind it to enable the pivoting movement of the entire assembly, consisting of the handle bar, handle brackets, and bearing upper part.

[0004] This well-known concept means that the upper bearing part is necessarily also a visible component on the front. This also makes it impossible to make the front panel of the door leaf larger in height, as the upper bearing part would be in the way. Another aspect of this well-known approach is that different widths of upper bearing parts must be provided for door leaves of different widths. This makes assembly complexity and the number of components required for different door variants relatively high. Furthermore, in this context, different bearing parts are required for different variants of a household appliance. For example, cooking appliances with pyrolysis operation require a temperature-resistant lower bearing part, to which the upper bearing part is directly coupled, and the upper bearing part can be made from a cheaper material in comparison.In household appliances, especially cooking appliances, which do not have such a pyrolysis function, the upper bearing part and the separate lower bearing part can be made of the same, cheaper material.

[0005] Another aspect of the known pivoting handles is that the required upper bearing part, which is visible from the outside and front of the handle, is relatively solid, bulky, and therefore relatively heavy. This also requires that such a large component in the form of the upper bearing part requires ribs and slots to allow adequate ventilation of the door upwards and, furthermore, to prevent a user from reaching into the gaps in the door leaf.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide a door for a household appliance and a household appliance with such a door, in which a handle movable relative to a door leaf is constructed in a simpler manner and yet still maintains the functionality of the mobility.

[0007] This object is achieved by a door and a household appliance according to the independent claims.

[0008] One aspect of the invention relates to a door for a household appliance. The door has a door leaf and a handle movable relative to the door leaf. The handle is arranged on the door leaf. The handle has a handle bar and handle blocks projecting therefrom in the direction of the door leaf. In this context, the handle blocks are separate and spaced-apart elements. When the handle is mounted on the door, the at least two separate and spaced-apart handle blocks extend on both sides of a front panel of the door leaf, viewed in the depth direction of the door. In this context, the front panel is in particular the frontmost panel of a panel package in the depth direction. Such a panel can, for example, be transparent at least in some areas. In particular, it can also be a panel made of real glass.Viewed in the depth direction of the door, the handle blocks are motion-coupled behind the front panel with a rotatably mounted deflection element, so that any rotational movement of the handle blocks can be transferred directly to the deflection elements. Thus, a movable handle concept is proposed here which is implemented without such a bearing upper part. Therefore, the handle blocks do not end at a part designed as a visible component on the front and as an elongated, beam-like bearing upper part in the width direction, but are centrally those elements of the handle which extend continuously behind the front panel. They therefore serve as direct coupling elements with the deflection elements. Using such an example of a door with a correspondingly modified handle, the number of components can be reduced. In particular, the front panel of the door leaf can be enlarged, particularly in the height direction.In this respect, the handle blocks are only those elements that are available for direct coupling with the deflection elements. This also makes the handle more delicate. It is also lighter and easier to move. The total mass of the handle that must be moved relative to the door leaf can be reduced. This also makes the mechanism that enables the handle's rotating movement simpler. This is because the corresponding mass of the door handle, which then has to be moved and generates the corresponding leverage, can be reduced.

[0009] In one embodiment, the handle blocks overlap the front panel at an upper edge of the front panel. This avoids the need to form the front panel with openings through which the handle blocks extend in the depth direction. By overlapping the handle blocks over the upper edge of the front panel in this way, a simple concept can be provided so that the handle blocks can be arranged such that they extend on both sides of the front panel in the depth direction. This also simplifies the installation of the handle blocks on the door leaf. In one embodiment, the handle blocks are formed as flat strips. On the one hand, this enables a reduction in weight. However, it also significantly reduces the overall height.Especially in an embodiment in which the handle blocks are arranged over the upper edge of the front panel, the structure of the handle with the handle blocks above this upper edge of the front panel is minimized.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment, a cover cap of the door is arranged laterally outwards in the width direction of the door, adjoining at least one handle block. This cover cap enables the covering of door components, in particular the door leaf, from above. The combination of the specific handle with the intended covering of door components from above also ensures that very localized coverings can be achieved. Due to the relatively small and reduced size of the cover cap, in one exemplary embodiment, the area of ​​the door components that extends in the width direction from a handle block to the outside, in particular to the adjacent vertical side of the door leaf, can be covered from above. By segmenting the covering of the door leaf from above with one or more such cover caps, these can also be individually shaped and handled.They can then be removed and reassembled individually without having to remove the other cover caps as well.

[0011] In one embodiment, the door leaf has a panel package. This has the front panel. Preferably, the panel package has at least one separate further panel in addition to the front panel. This is arranged behind the front panel, in particular parallel to and at a distance from the front panel as viewed in the depth direction of the door. The door in particular has a holder for holding at least the further panel. In one embodiment, this holder is secured with the above-mentioned cover cap. The cover plate is thus used as a multifunctional component. This ensures that this holder does not undesirably change its position in the installed final position and thereby lose its function of holding the at least one panel. Undesired movement or displacement of this panel held by the holder can thus be better prevented. The panels of the panel package can be at least partially transparent.They can each be panes of real glass. In particular, the panel package comprises at least three such separate panels. In particular, a door can be formed with a door leaf comprising four such separate panels. This can comprise a front panel, an inner panel, and intermediate panels in between.

[0012] In one embodiment, the holder is secured in a locking position of the cover cap. This prevents the holder from being unlocked in this locking position. The cover cap can therefore be specifically positioned in a predetermined locking position. In this position, it prevents the holder from being unlocked. This also ensures that the panel held by it, in particular the inner panel, remains securely held.

[0013] In one embodiment, the cover cap is arranged on a bearing part of the door that is separate from the cover cap. In particular, the door has a securing element. With this separate securing element, the cover cap is arranged on the bearing part. This achieves a mechanically specific positioning of the cover cap. Such a securing element enables the secure, precise, and permanently maintainable positioning of the cover cap. On the other hand, the securing element also enables simple and quick release, so that the cover cap can at least be changed in a targeted and defined manner, even while it is still arranged on the bearing part.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cover cap is arranged stationary on the bearing part in a first position of the securing element. In a defined second position of the securing element, which is different from the first position, the cover cap is arranged movable relative to the bearing part on the bearing part. In particular, one embodiment provides that the cover cap is displaceable relative to the bearing part in the second position of the securing element, viewed in the vertical direction of the door. This makes it very easy to set very specific positions of the cover cap. On the one hand, this prevents the cover cap from being lost or removed inadvertently, and on the other hand, these positions of the securing element also allow these different height positions of the cover cap to be set safely and precisely.

[0015] In one embodiment, a first position of the securing element is a secured state of the securing element on the bearing part. The second position of the securing element, in contrast, is a released state. As a result, the cover cap is no longer fixed and can be moved vertically accordingly. Nevertheless, in this second position of the securing element, the securing element is still arranged on the bearing part.

[0016] For example, if the locking element is a screw, the first position can be the fully screwed-in position. A second position, on the other hand, can be the slightly unscrewed position of the screw, allowing the cover cap to be adjusted vertically.

[0017] In one embodiment, the securing position is a lower position in the vertical direction, and this securing position is set in the first position of the securing element. In the second position of the securing element, an unlocking position of the cover cap is set that is higher in vertical direction than the securing position, whereby the holder can only be unlocked in the unlocking position. This provides a very simple and intuitively easy-to-understand concept for adjusting the positions of the cover cap. This also makes it very easy to understand when the holder has been unlocked and when this unlocking is blocked. Since the handling of the securing element is also very simple, the above-mentioned scenario for handling the cover cap can also be carried out easily.

[0018] In one embodiment, it is therefore provided that the cover cap can be moved linearly and thus rectilinearly in the vertical direction, in particular only linearly. This once again confirms the simplicity of this movement concept for the cover cap. This is because undesirable complex movement sequences for the cover cap can be avoided. This contributes positively to being able to safely approach and find the securing position on the one hand, and the unlocking position on the other. In one embodiment, the cover cap is arranged on the bearing part in a way that prevents it from being removed when in the locking position. This loss security also ensures that the individual components do not fall off and get lost, but remain bundled together on the bearing part.Therefore, in this unlocked position, it is specifically provided that the cover cap can no longer be moved upwards in the vertical direction beyond this unlocked position. In one embodiment, this is only possible if the securing element is completely removed from the bearing part.

[0019] In one embodiment, at least one cover cap is designed with a pocket designed to engage a locking hook designed to lock the closed position of the door on the household appliance. This achieves the multifunctionality of the cover cap. It then also serves as a central element for receiving such a locking hook. Since the cover cap is also designed to be relatively robust and mechanically stable in this regard, it is also explicitly suitable for receiving this locking hook in this advantageous embodiment.

[0020] In one embodiment, the door has a bearing part which is arranged on the front panel. In particular, this bearing part is glued directly thereto. A bearing pin comprising the axis of rotation of a deflection element is mounted on this bearing part. This achieves particularly stable mounting of this deflection element. Movement tolerances can thus be avoided. In this context, the axis of rotation can be kept very stable. This enables the movement of the door handle, in particular the pivoting movement, to be very precise. In particular, this bearing part is a bearing bracket. This bearing bracket can be a central component on which a door profile of the door is also arranged. Such a door profile accommodates the panels of the panel package. In particular, such a door profile is a beam oriented in the height direction. In particular, this bearing part is glued to a rear side of the front panel.

[0021] In one exemplary embodiment, a cover strip is arranged inwardly in the width direction of the door, adjoining a handle block, with which door components are covered from above. This allows, in addition to the advantageously present cover cap mentioned above, a separate cover strip to be provided. This allows the area located in the width direction between the handle blocks, in particular the two handle blocks, to be partially covered from above. This makes it possible to cover the door leaf from above by two cover caps arranged at the ends and a cover strip arranged between the handle blocks.

[0022] In one embodiment, a handle block has an end part arranged behind the front plate. In one embodiment, this end part has two bearing plates arranged at a distance from one another in the width direction. A receiving area of ​​this handle block is formed between the bearing plates, in which the deflection element is arranged. As a result, the deflection element is formed so as to overlap and protrudes directly into the handle block. The bearing plates therefore also provide delimiting elements for the receiving area on opposite sides in the width direction. In particular, the deflection element can thus also protrude into this receiving area and be positioned and supported therein. In one embodiment, a rotation axis of the handle block is guided through the two bearing plates and the deflection element or is arranged to run through them.This allows for a particularly advantageous direct coupling principle between a grip block and a deflection element. Additional intermediate elements are then no longer required. This results in a very simple, precise, and highly functional direct mechanical coupling between a grip block and a deflection element.

[0023] A further aspect of the invention relates to a household appliance with a door according to the above-mentioned aspect or an advantageous embodiment thereof.

[0024] In one embodiment, a handle block is uneven. In particular, a strip-shaped portion of the handle block can be uneven. It is precisely through such a concept with handle blocks extending on both sides of the front panel, in particular extending over an upper edge of the front panel, and in particular also with one handle block arranged in each outer quarter of the width of the front panel in the width direction, that a blow-out gap of the plate pack, formed between plates of the plate pack, of an appropriate size can be provided. This advantageous blow-out scenario for air, which is to be blown out upwards from the spaces between the plates, can be advantageously implemented. Furthermore, this outwardly offset position of the handle blocks also prevents condensation from forming on these handle blocks.

[0025] In one embodiment, a cover cap has an elongated hole oriented in the vertical direction. The securing element is passed through this elongated hole so that it can then be fastened to the bearing part. If this securing element is partially released, the position of the cover cap can be changed through the elongated hole. However, this freedom of movement in the vertical direction is also advantageously limited by the elongated hole. Especially in the unlocked position, it is then also easily possible to pull the aforementioned holder upwards in the vertical direction in order to release the locking position of the holder. The positive locking of a specific panel of the panel package, in particular the inner panel, can then be released and dismantling this specific panel, namely the inner panel, is easy because it is only inserted into a plug-in element in a lower area of ​​the door.In an advantageous embodiment, a cable pull device is also coupled to the deflection element. This cable pull device allows for further coupling with components in the lower area of ​​the door when the door handle is operated, in particular rotated, about an axis oriented in the width direction, thus enabling the door to pivot into the storage compartment of the household appliance when opened. In this context, it is possible for the cable pull device to have a tension wire and a tension spring, which are secured in the width direction by a handle block. Alternatively, the tension spring can also be suspended in the handle block between the deflection element and the handle block.

[0026] By eliminating the aforementioned lower bearing section, which is also no longer required due to the absence of the upper bearing section, a larger height can be achieved for an intermediate plate following the front plate. Due to the appropriate air flow within the plate pack, lower temperatures can be achieved in the front area of ​​the plate pack, and the special pyrolysis-compatible material required for a lower bearing section in the prior art can be avoided if the household appliance is a cooking appliance.

[0027] The proposed handle concept now makes it very easy to use this handle with the same design as an identical component for different doors, especially those with different door leaf widths. Furthermore, the elimination of the bearing base and the reduced temperatures allow the use of thermoplastic components instead of the previously conventional thermoset components. This also enables an increase in the degree of recycling through the use of thermoplastics. A lower use of this material compared to thermoset plastics is also achieved. Since the concept described above also allows an intermediate plate to be increased in height, it is no longer necessary to use an additional component in the form of a pyrolysis strip, which is currently still common.

[0028] Furthermore, fewer large tools are required during production. This is particularly true because there is no need to install a bearing upper and lower section of the same size as required in the prior art. Due to the aforementioned mounting options for at least one intermediate plate and the inner plate on the device, more ergonomic assembly on the device itself is possible. A worker therefore no longer needs to install a completely pre-assembled door on the device or the housing, since the intermediate plates and the inner plate of the plate package can then be installed one after the other with the new concept.

[0029] Furthermore, a handle as described above is possible not only with a retractable door, but also with a pure folding door that can only be pivoted around a fixed pivot axis.

[0030] The terms "top," "bottom," "front," "rear," "horizontal," "vertical," "depth direction," "width direction," and "height direction" indicate the positions and orientations of the door and the household appliance during intended use and proper positioning. 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 or on their own, without departing from the scope of the invention.Thus, embodiments not explicitly shown or explained in the figures, but which are derived from the explained embodiments and can be generated by separate combinations of features, are also to be considered as encompassed and disclosed by the invention. Embodiments and combinations of features are also to be considered as disclosed that therefore do not have all the features of an originally formulated independent claim.

[0031] Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to schematic drawings. They show:

[0032] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a door according to the prior art;

[0038] Fig. 7 shows a further partial area of ​​the door according to Fig. 4; Fig. 8 shows a perspective view of partial components of the door according to Fig. 4 to Fig. 7; and

[0039] Fig. 9 is a simplified perspective view of an embodiment of a household appliance according to the invention.

[0040] In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference symbols.

[0041] Fig. 1 shows a door 100 known from the prior art. The door 100 is intended, in particular, for a cooking appliance. The door 100 has a door leaf 101. This door leaf 101 is the main body of the door and is designed, in particular, as a flat cuboid.

[0042] The door 100 further comprises a handle 102. The handle 102 comprises a handle bar 103. Furthermore, the handle 102 comprises handle brackets 104 and 105 projecting from the handle bar 103 and oriented toward the door leaf 101. In this known door 100, the handle brackets 104 and 105 are arranged directly at the front on a bearing upper part 106. In this context, they therefore end at the front on this bearing upper part 106. This bearing upper part 106 is a beam-like, completely continuous component oriented in the width direction of the door 100. It is a front-facing visible component of the door 100. In the basic position of the pivoting handle 102 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a front side 107 of this upper bearing part 106 is flush with a front side 108 of the door leaf 101. As can be seen, a front panel 109 of the door leaf 101 is provided. This front panel ends vertically with its upper edge below the upper bearing part 106.The upper bearing part 106 extends across the entire width of this front panel 109. The front panel 109 is, in particular, a front panel of the door leaf 101. Furthermore, the door 100 has a lower bearing part 110. The lower bearing part 110, like the upper bearing part 106, is part of a pivot assembly of the door 100, with which the handle 102 can be pivoted relative to the door leaf 101 about a pivot axis oriented in the width direction.

[0043] In Fig. 3, this known door 100 is shown in a partial view from a different perspective than Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The handle blocks 104 and 105 end at this upper bearing part 106 and thus also end in front of the front panel 109. The handle blocks 104 and 105 are thus arranged directly on the front side of this continuous, in particular one-piece, upper bearing part 106.

[0044] Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a door 1 for a household appliance. The door 1 can be a door for a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance can be, for example, an oven, a steam cooker, or a microwave cooker.

[0045] The door 1 has a door leaf 2. The door leaf 2 is the main body of the door 1. It is designed in particular as a flat cuboid. In one exemplary embodiment, this door leaf 2 has a panel pack 3. The panel pack 3 has a front panel 4. In particular, the panel pack 3 also has at least one further panel 5. The further panel 5 can be an inner panel. In the depth direction (z-direction), these at least two panels 3 and 5 are arranged one behind the other and at a distance from one another; between the front panel 4 and the inner panel 5, at least one further separate intermediate panel can be arranged. The panels of this panel pack 3 are in particular transparent, at least in some areas. They can be panes made of real glass.

[0046] In one embodiment, the door 1 is a retractable door. This means that, in a household appliance, it can be pivoted when opened and simultaneously lowered into a storage space formed in a housing of the household appliance.

[0047] The door leaf 2 also has door profiles, of which only one can be seen in Fig. 4 as door profile 6. The door profiles 6 and 7 (Fig. 6 and Fig. 7) are beams oriented in the height direction (y-direction) and positioned relatively far outwards in the width direction. By means of these door profiles 6, 7, at least some of the panels of the panel package 3 can be received and held. Furthermore, these door profiles 6 and 7 also serve in particular to receive guide elements of hinges of a household appliance in outwardly open guide slots 8, by means of which the door 1 is guided when opening and closing and when retracting and extending from the storage space. In addition, the door 1 has a handle 9. The handle 9 has a handle bar 10. In the exemplary embodiment, the handle 9 also has two separate handle blocks 11 and 12.The handle blocks 11 and 12 are connected to the handle bar 10 and extend backwards from the bar-shaped handle bar 10 in the direction of the front panel 4. These handle blocks 11 and 12 extend on both sides of the front panel 4, viewed in the depth direction of the door 1. The handle blocks 11 and 12 are motion-coupled behind the front panel 9 with a rotatably mounted deflection element 13 and 14, viewed in the depth direction of the door 1. This means that each of the handle blocks 11 and 12 is motion-coupled to a separate deflection element 13 and 14, respectively. In particular, a direct motion coupling is provided here. This means, in particular, that the handle block 11 is directly connected to the deflection element 13 and the handle block 12 is directly connected to the separate deflection element 14.

[0048] This coupling of the handle blocks 11 and 12 with the separate deflection elements 13 and 14 also creates a correspondingly rotatable mounting of the handle blocks 11 and 12 directly with the deflection elements 13, 14. This also allows a rotational movement of these handle blocks 11 and 12 to be directly transmitted to the deflection elements 13, 14. These deflection elements 13 and 14 are directly coupled to these handle blocks 11 and 12.

[0049] As can be seen in the exemplary embodiment, the handle blocks 11 and 12 are formed here as elements that are formed in a front region as flat strip parts 11a and 12a. These one-piece, flat strip parts 11a, 12a are, in the exemplary embodiment, particularly those regions that extend on both sides of the front panel 4.

[0050] In one embodiment, the handle blocks 11 and 12, in particular with their flat strip parts 11a and 12a, extend backward over an upper edge 15 of the front panel 4. For this purpose, the strip parts 11a and 12a preferably provided here have a gripping part 11b and 12b arranged on the shape of the upper edge 15. As a result, the upper edge 15 is also gripped by these gripping parts 11b and 12b, so that the handle blocks 11 and 12, in the non-pivoted basic position of the handle 9, are also laid around this upper edge 15 in a relatively precise U-shape.

[0051] As can be seen in Fig. 4, in one exemplary embodiment, these strip parts 11a and 12a between the upper edge 15 and the handlebar 10 are not oriented horizontally, but rather are inclined in this respect. In particular, they are oriented sloping downwards from the upper edge 15 toward the handlebar 10. As a result, the handlebar 10 is offset slightly downwards, thus increasing the upward clearance for a pivoting movement.

[0052] As can also be seen in Fig. 4, a cover cap 16, 17 is arranged laterally outwardly adjacent to at least one handle block 11, 12 in the width direction of the door 1. These cover caps 16 and 17 are separate components. They can be formed as a single piece, for example, from plastic. These cover caps 16 and 17 each extend in particular between the outer edge of the door leaf 2 and the adjacent handle block or the deflection element arranged therewith. These cover caps 16 and 17 are intended in particular to cover door components of the door 1 from above in these corner regions.

[0053] Furthermore, the door 1 is provided with a cover strip 18. The cover strip 18 is separate from the cover caps 16 and 17. The cover strip 18 is intended to cover additional door components of the door 1 from above. Here, the cover strip 18 extends only between the two handle blocks 11 and 12 or the deflection elements 13 and 14.

[0054] In particular, both the cover caps 16 and 17 and / or the cover strip 18 are visible components of the door 1 that are exposed upwards.

[0055] In Fig. 5, section I in Fig. 4 is shown enlarged. The shape of the grip block 12 is more clearly visible here. The position and arrangement of the cover cap 17 are also more clearly visible.

[0056] The handle 9 is formed without a continuous, bar-shaped upper bearing part, as is realized in the prior art according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3. As can be seen in Fig. 6, in which the illustration in Fig. 5 is shown in a different perspective, the door 1, in particular the door leaf 2, also has a holder 19. This holder 19 is provided for holding at least the further panel, here the panel 5. In this regard, the holder 19 is, for example, a rail that at least partially encompasses the panel 5 at the upper edge. The holder 19 can be secured in its position with the cover cap 17. This holder 19 is secured in a securing position of the cover cap 17, so that unlocking of the holder 19 is then prevented. This cover cap 17 is arranged, in particular fastened, to a bearing part 21 with a securing element 20. In one embodiment, the securing element 20 is a screw.

[0057] The cover cap 17 has a through-hole 22. The securing element 20 is guided through this hole so that it can be arranged, in particular screwed, on the bearing part 21. This through-hole 22 is, in particular, a longitudinally oriented elongated hole.

[0058] In a first position of this securing element 20, the cover cap 17 is arranged in a stationary manner on the bearing part 21. In the exemplary embodiment, this means that the cover cap 17 is then firmly screwed to the bearing part 21 with the screw. The first position is when the screw is fully screwed in. Movement of the cover cap 17 relative to the bearing part 21 is then not possible. In a second position of the securing element 20, which is defined as different from the first position, the cover cap 17 is arranged on the bearing part 21 so that it can move relative to the bearing part 21. In particular, this cover cap 17 is then displaceable in the vertical direction of the door 1 relative to the bearing part 21 in this second position of the securing element 20.

[0059] This makes it possible for the cover cap 17 to be arranged in at least two discrete and predefined positions in the vertical direction relative to the bearing part 21. In particular, the securing position is a lower position in the vertical direction, in which the first position of the securing element 20 is also set. This securing position is shown in Fig. 5 and, with regard to the cover cap 16, also in Fig. 7. In Fig. 7, the securing element 20 is not present for the purpose of clarifying and identifying the through-hole 22 there.

[0060] In the second position of the securing element 20, in which the securing element 20 is still arranged on the bearing part 21, an unlocking position of the cover cap 17 is set. This is shown in Fig. 6. In this unlocking position, the cover cap 17 is pushed upwards compared to the securing position, as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7. This is made possible by the orientation of the elongated hole. In this unlocking position of the cover cap 17, the locked state of the holder 19 is released. Therefore, in this unlocking position of the cover cap 17, the holder 19 can be raised vertically, as is also shown or indicated in Fig. 6. This then makes it easy to disassemble this additional plate 5 even in these positions of the aforementioned individual components.Even in this unlocked position of the cover cap 17, complete removal of the cover cap 17 is not possible due to the locking element still present on the bearing part 21, but screwed on. Rather, the elongated hole limits the maximum upward displacement of the cover cap 17, with the lower edge of the elongated hole then striking the remaining screw in the form of the locking element 20. In particular, for complete disassembly of the plate 5, both cover caps 16 and 17 are arranged in the unlocked positions.

[0061] In one exemplary embodiment, the cover cap 16 is constructed in a corresponding manner. A corresponding securing element 20 also provides a connection to the bearing part 21 located there. This cover cap 16 is then handled in the same way as explained for the cover cap 17.

[0062] As already mentioned, in this unlocked position of the cover cap 17, it remains secured against removal on the bearing part 21. In one exemplary embodiment, at least one of the two cover caps 16 or 17, here for example the cover cap 17, has an indentation or a pocket 23. This pocket 23 is designed to engage a locking hook of the household appliance. This locking hook is provided, for example, in a cooking appliance to lock the door operation. This locks the closed position of the door. This is provided, for example, during pyrolysis operation of a cooking appliance. Furthermore, in one exemplary embodiment, a contact surface 24 is integrated into at least one of the cover caps, here as shown in Fig. 7 in the cover cap 16. This can be used to trigger a door contact switch of the household appliance.

[0063] Fig. 8 shows a perspective view from behind of subcomponents of the door 1. As can be seen here, the bearing part 21 is in particular a retaining bracket. This is preferably arranged, in particular glued, on a rear side 4a of the front panel 4. This bearing part 21 is preferably an essential component to which several other components are connected. As can also be seen, the deflecting element 14 is connected to a bearing pin 25. This bearing pin 25 forms the axis of rotation of the deflecting element 14 and thus in particular also the axis of rotation of the handle block 12. The handle block 12, in addition to its already explained subcomponents, has an end part 26 arranged behind the front panel 4. In the exemplary embodiment, this end part 26 has bearing plates 26a and 26b arranged at a distance from one another in the width direction.Between these bearing plates 26a and 26b, a receiving space 27 or a corresponding receiving area is formed, in which the deflecting element 14 is arranged. The rotational axis A of the handle block 12, formed by the bearing pin 25, runs through the two bearing plates 26a and 26b and the deflecting element 14 located therebetween. Therefore, the direct coupling between the handle block 12 and the deflecting element 14, in particular also by means of the bearing pin 25, is formed behind the front plate 9. In one embodiment, the bearing pin 25 is mounted directly on the bearing part 21.

[0064] In order to enable, in particular, the force introduction of a door locking system, in one exemplary embodiment, in addition to the screw connection, the rotation axis A is also accommodated at the bearing point of the bearing part 21 and is also limited in its position in the width direction, as well as being held vertically by the preferably provided positive locking in the bearing point of the bearing part 21 below the bearing part 21. In summary, this advantageously guides the cover cap 17 during disassembly of the plate 5, in particular the rearmost plate 5. Fig. 8 also shows a tension wire 28 and a tension spring 29.These are also part of the pivot assembly in order to be able to transmit the rotary movement of the handle 9 to other components of the door system and thus to be able to enable the coupled pivoting and retracting movement of the door 1 into a storage space of the household appliance and to be able to carry out the retraction of this door 1 from the storage space with the coupled pivoting movement upwards.

[0065] Both the tension wire 28 and the tension spring 29 are secured in the width direction by the specifically formed handle block 12, in particular by the bearing plates 26a and 26b provided here.

[0066] Alternatively, for example, the tension spring 29 can be hooked into the handle block 12 between the deflection element 14 and the handle block 12.

[0067] Fig. 9 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a household appliance 30. This is, in particular, a cooking appliance. It comprises a housing 31. At least one receiving space 32 is formed within this housing. This is intended, in particular, for accommodating food. In a cooking appliance, it can be, for example, a cooking chamber. Furthermore, the household appliance 30 comprises a door 1. This door is designed, in particular, according to the aforementioned embodiments.

[0068] Furthermore, a storage compartment 33 is shown. This is formed in the housing 31. It is arranged vertically below the cooking chamber.
