Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fireplace body system, a building, in particular a house, comprising a fireplace body system and a method for arranging a fireplace body in a building.

[0002] Stoves or fireplaces typically have a pivoting door to provide access to the fireplace, particularly for loading the fuel. Opening the pivoting door can be a source of danger, as the user or others, especially innocent children playing, could injure themselves on the open door. Being careful of the hot door can also make adding firewood more difficult, as contact with the door should be avoided. Furthermore, there is a risk of contamination, damage, or even fire from ash and / or embers falling to the floor when the door is opened. Furthermore, such doors require a particularly large installation space to allow the door to be opened.

[0003] Another problem can be the installation of fireplaces or stoves. Typically, the fireplace or stove must first be installed and then connected to a flue, especially a chimney. This can be complicated due to compatibility issues or structural constraints. It's also not always easy to create a consistent and attractive visual appearance between the fireplace and flue.

[0004] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a fireplace body system which enables increased safety and an installation which is as simplified as possible and flexible for different installation situations and requires only a small installation space.

[0005] This object is achieved by a fireplace body system according to claim 1, a building according to claim 14 and a method according to claim 15. Further advantages and features emerge from the respective subclaims as well as from the description and the figures.

[0006] According to one aspect of the invention, a fireplace body system with a receiving area for a fireplace is provided, in particular for domestic use, comprising a body which extends along a longitudinal axis, a cavity which comprises the receiving area in which the fireplace can be received, and a stove door, wherein the body at least partially surrounds the cavity, wherein the body has an opening which allows access to the receiving area and / or to a fireplace arranged in the receiving area, wherein the stove door is translationally displaceable in a displacement direction, in particular in the direction of the longitudinal axis relative to the body, in order to expose and cover the opening of the body, in particular relative to the body. The embodiment according to the invention can offer a space-saving, relatively easy-to-maintain, effectively installable and / or visually uniform solution compared to the prior art.In addition, the stove door can be designed to project less than in the prior art, in particular to project less than 10 cm. The fireplace can be a room, in particular one that is at least partially enclosed by a wall, which is designed for burning combustible material. The fireplace can be a chimney or oven. The fireplace can be transportable, in particular due to its dimensions and / or weight. The fireplace can be fluidically connected or connectable to an exhaust, in particular to a chimney connected to the fireplace body system. The receiving area can comprise means for receiving and / or securing the fireplace. The receiving area can comprise a latching device for securing the fireplace. In particular, it can be provided that the receiving area is designed to be able to accommodate different fireplaces.Advantageously, the receiving area can represent a flexible option for using different types of fireplaces. Furthermore, the receiving area can enable relatively simple and quick installation, since in particular a flue or chimney does not have to be adapted to an external fireplace. The body can be an external wall or part of the external wall of the fireplace body system; in particular, the body can be substantially the entire external wall of the fireplace body system. The body can preferably be constructed so sturdily that it can serve as a foundation section or lower load-bearing section, in particular a chimney base, for a chimney. The fireplace body system and / or the body can be understood as a three-dimensional body with three spatial directions.The fireplace body system and / or the body preferably has a significantly greater extension in one of the spatial directions, wherein the significantly greater extension is in particular the longitudinal axis. In other words, the longitudinal axis can therefore be the direction in which the body and / or the fireplace body system has its largest main dimension. Preferably, the longitudinal axis runs in such a way that, with a properly installed fireplace body system, it essentially follows the direction of gravity or corresponds to an orientation perpendicular to the ground and / or floor. An extension of the body in the direction of the longitudinal axis can essentially correspond to the extension of the fireplace body along the longitudinal axis. In other words, a length of the body can correspond to the total length of the fireplace body system. The cavity can be an interior space of the body or a part of the interior space of the body.Optionally, the cavity can be at least partially surrounded and / or delimited by delimiting elements, which in particular are not part of the body. The delimiting elements can, for example, be cladding elements, which in particular serve to improve appearance, thermal insulation and / or heat conduction. Alternatively or additionally preferably, the delimiting elements can be locking means and / or guide means for the receiving area and / or for the oven door. The opening in the body can in particular be arranged in a wall of the body. The opening can be round or angular, in particular quadrangular, rectangular and / or square. The opening can be arranged or formed on two or three sides of the body, in particular contiguously.For example, the opening can be a first recess, in particular continuous in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, in a first wall of the body, wherein a second recess is additionally arranged adjacent to the first recess in a second wall which adjoins the first wall, wherein optionally a third recess is arranged in a third wall which adjoins the first wall opposite the second wall. The recesses can be arranged adjacent to one another, in particular such that the recesses form a large common recess. Adjacent recesses can allow continuous access to and / or a view of the fireplace from different sides. Alternatively, the recesses can preferably be formed separately from one another, wherein in particular each individual recess is completely surrounded by body material or wall material.Separate recesses can increase the stability of the device. Preferably, the first recess and the second recess and / or the third recess can have the same extension in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The second recess and / or the third recess can have an extension in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis which is less than, in particular less than half as large as, the extension of the respective wall of the body in this direction. In other words, the opening can extend over more than one wall, in particular over two or three walls, of the body. The opening can advantageously enable installation of the fireplace in the fireplace body system and / or loading of the fireplace in the body. The oven door can in particular be flat and / or planar."Flat" in this context can mean, in particular, that the oven door has a smaller extension in one spatial direction, preferably in a spatial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and / or in a spatial direction perpendicular to a cross-sectional area of ​​the opening, than in the other two spatial directions perpendicular thereto. Flat can also encompass an at least partially curved design of the oven door, wherein the curvature can be understood, in particular, as a distortion of a flat plate oriented parallel to a cross-sectional area of ​​the opening. "Translationally displaceable" means, in particular, that the oven door is designed to expose and cover the opening not through a rotational or pivoting movement, but rather through a translation. The translation can be provided on a plane oriented substantially parallel to the surface of a wall of the body.be limited to movement in this plane. The stove door can preferably be displaceable in such a way that it never protrudes beyond an outer wall of the body as a result of the displacement. In other words, the stove door can be displaced in such a way that the outer circumference or an outer surface of the fireplace body remains constant or is not changed when the stove door is displaced. The direction of displacement is the direction in which the stove door can be displaced translationally; the direction of displacement can in particular run parallel to the longitudinal axis. Advantageously, a stove door that can be displaced translationally can save space, or the fireplace body can be set up in a relatively narrow space, because the stove door does not have to have a pivot radius that protrudes into the area surrounding the fireplace body system.Additionally or alternatively, the stove door according to the invention can have the advantage that, by preventing it from swinging out into the room, the falling out of ash and / or embers can be reduced. Contamination on the floor in front of the fireplace body system can thus be better prevented. In addition, the risk of fire can be reduced by less falling out ash and / or embers. Furthermore, avoiding a protruding stove door can make the fireplace easier to reach, in particular enable access from different directions, and / or reduce the risk of burns from the open stove door by the user themselves or by others, in particular children playing. The stove door can have a frame and an inner surface arranged in the frame. The frame can preferably be made of a stable material, in particular metal or a heat-resistant plastic.The frame can advantageously serve to stabilize the oven door. The frame can therefore advantageously be designed to be narrower, particularly compared to a pivoting door design, because the design-related requirements for the stability of the oven door are or can be lower due to the lack of pivoting. The oven door can comprise a gripping element, wherein the gripping element is arranged in particular on an outer side or on a side of the oven door not facing the cavity. The gripping element can be made of a material with low thermal conductivity, in particular a thermal conductivity of less than 1.0 W / (m×K), preferably less than 0.2 W / (m×K), and / or can be attached to the oven door in a thermally insulating manner, in particular through the use of an insulator element. The gripping element can be a knob, a bracket, or a recess in the oven door. The recess can, for example, be lined with an insulating material.The oven door can comprise two or more gripping elements, particularly of the same type, wherein the gripping elements can be arranged at the same height, particularly in the direction of the longitudinal axis. This can significantly simplify handling of the oven door for a user.

[0007] Advantageously, the stove door can be translationally displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal axis, in particular in a positive and / or negative direction, and / or transversely to the longitudinal axis. The positive and negative directions can refer to the two directions parallel to the longitudinal axis, with the positive direction being oriented in particular opposite to the negative direction. When the fireplace body system is correctly installed, the positive direction can be an upward direction or a direction opposite to the direction of gravity, while the negative direction can be a downward direction or a direction in which gravity acts on the stove door. The stove door can be displaceable in a positive direction, in particular when the fireplace orThe receiving area is spaced from the end of the fireplace body in the negative direction of the longitudinal axis and / or from the floor on which the fireplace body system is installed, at least in accordance with the direction of extension of the stove door. For displaceability transverse to the longitudinal axis, the fireplace body system can, for example, have an extension in this direction that is greater than, in particular at least twice as large as, the opening.

[0008] Advantageously, the furnace door can have a first extent in the direction of the longitudinal axis and / or in the displacement direction, wherein a (maximum) displacement path of the furnace door during a translational displacement in the direction of displacement has a second extent, wherein a ratio of the first extent to the second extent can be 0.5 to 1.5, preferably 0.8 to 1.1. A ratio of 0.5 to 1.5 can, on the one hand, particularly for the range close to 0.5, enable partial displacement of the furnace door, whereby an opening sufficient for loading can still be provided. This can enable a particularly compact design while still having a relatively large door, which is particularly advantageous with regard to manufacturing costs. A ratio of 0.5 to 1.5 further has the advantage of enabling particularly simple loading of the fireplace or furnace, especially in the case of a fireplace for solid fuels.For example, this can make an area of ​​the cavity above the furnace door accessible and / or the door can be moved so far that, particularly during loading, a safety distance from the door can be maintained in the area of ​​the opening in order to reduce the risk of burns. Provision can be made for the displacement path to be variably adjustable, in particular differently for installation and / or maintenance of the fireplace, for which a greater displacement path can be provided, and for loading the fireplace, for which a shorter displacement path can be provided. A ratio of 0.8 to 1.1 can combine space-saving compactness with good accessibility, whereby in particular a complete or almost complete (0.8 to 0.9) release of the opening can be possible.

[0009] The furnace door can have a sliding extension of at least 20 cm, preferably at least 50 cm, and particularly preferably at least 70 cm. A sliding extension of at least 20 cm can enable a particularly compact design. A sliding extension of at least 70 cm can enable particularly good access, particularly due to the size of the opening that can be covered or exposed thereby. A sliding extension of at least 50 cm can combine good accessibility via the opening that can be covered by the furnace door with space-saving compactness.

[0010] Advantageously, the stove door can be secured against displacement by means of a guide device perpendicular to the direction of displacement, in particular in a form-fitting manner, wherein the guide device can be surrounded by the body and / or integrated into the body, in particular in such a way that the guide device is not visible from outside the fireplace body system. Securing against displacement perpendicular to the direction of displacement can be understood as providing a certain amount of play, which can, for example, enable the smoothest possible sliding. The guide device can, in particular, enable safe operation of the stove door. The guide device can be designed and arranged in the body in such a way that the part of the stove door which does not cover the opening is at least partially, preferably at least largely, shielded from the outside by the body and / or by the guide device.Integrating the guide device into the body can prevent the risk of injury from protruding ends and / or from burning on parts of the stove door that are not covered after the stove door has been moved outwards. Furthermore, the integration can enable a particularly compact design. For example, the body can have a depression and / or indentation, particularly one arranged internally, in which the guide device can be at least partially arranged. An arrangement such that the guide device is not visible from the outside can allow more freedom in the visual design of the fireplace body system. Advantageously, the guide device can be arranged in a positive direction along the longitudinal axis beyond the receiving area, in a negative direction along the longitudinal axis beyond the receiving area, or in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis beyond the receiving area.An arrangement in a positive direction, particularly in a direction opposite to the direction of gravity, can efficiently utilize the space above the fireplace or above the receiving area. An arrangement in a negative direction, particularly in a direction along the direction of gravity, can utilize any space that may be present below the fireplace, for example, a foundation, a ventilation access, and / or a maintenance access. An arrangement transverse to the longitudinal axis can be advantageous if the fireplace body system is relatively wide perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, as the space thus available can be utilized.

[0011] Advantageously, the fireplace body system can comprise a support device, in particular a support mechanism, which is configured to facilitate the sliding of the stove door, wherein, in particular, a degree of facilitation is adjustable by the support device. The support device can be a sliding support, which can in particular reduce the effort, in particular the force required, for moving the stove door. The support device can, for example, be a spring device that supports the sliding of the door, or a magnetic device, in particular with a permanent magnet and / or an electromagnet, and / or a motor that can be automatically switched on during a displacement and / or that can be activated upon external instruction, for example by pressing a button. A spring device can be provided relatively easily and inexpensively.An electromagnet can advantageously be switched on automatically. In particular, the electromagnet can be switched on by means of a control unit and / or can be switched on by switching the magnetic field with respect to the direction of the support. Alternatively or additionally, the motor can be designed to move the oven door translationally by remote control, in particular with the aid of a control unit.

[0012] Advantageously, the fireplace body system can comprise a damping unit configured to dampen the impact of the stove door. The damping unit can serve as a buffer, in particular to dampen the impact of the stove door when the opening is released and / or covered. This can advantageously result in a longer service life of the components used and / or greater user-friendliness through smoother operation.

[0013] Advantageously, the fireplace body system and / or the guide device can comprise rails for guiding the stove door, wherein the rails run in particular in the direction of the longitudinal axis and / or the direction of displacement, wherein the rails are arranged in particular such that they are in contact with edges of the stove door. The rails can be arranged in such a way that they can guide edges of the stove door running in the direction of displacement or that they are in guiding contact with the edges running in the direction of displacement. The rails can enable particularly reliable and / or smooth operation of the stove door. The edges can in particular be edges of the stove door running in the direction of the longitudinal axis or in the direction of displacement.The edges may comprise a surface of the oven door oriented in the direction of the rail contacting the oven door and / or a region of the oven door in the vicinity of these surfaces, in particular a region of the oven door which is spaced from this surface by a region extension which amounts to a maximum of 2 to 10 percent of the extension of the oven door in the direction of displacement.

[0014] Advantageously, the fireplace body system can comprise the fireplace, wherein the fireplace is in particular accommodated in the receiving area, and wherein the fireplace is in particular inseparably integrated into the fireplace body system. The fireplace can already be integrated into the fireplace body system ex works or by the manufacturer, i.e. in particular before the fireplace body system is installed at its intended location. Advantageously, integration of the fireplace can enable faster installation on site, because this makes it possible to omit the work step of receiving the fireplace in the receiving area. Furthermore, it can be ensured that compatibility problems do not arise between the various components. Alternatively, the fireplace body system can also preferably be designed such that the fireplace is only installed orThis leads, in particular, to a reduction in transport costs for the fireplace body system.

[0015] All features disclosed herein with respect to the body and / or as part of the body can also be provided analogously with respect to the fireplace and / or as part of the fireplace. In this case, the advantages mentioned in connection with the body can be transferred to the fireplace. In particular, a guide device for the stove door as described herein and all features and advantages mentioned in connection with the guide device can also be part of the fireplace and / or integrated into the fireplace.

[0016] Advantageously, the stove door can be held on the fireplace, wherein the fireplace in particular comprises rails for guiding the stove door, wherein the rails extend in particular in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the rails are arranged in particular such that they are in contact with the edges of the stove door. "Held on the fireplace" can in particular mean that the weight force is or is absorbed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably at least 70%, and most particularly preferably completely, by the fireplace, particularly in an assembled state. In other words, the stove door can therefore be supported on the fireplace.Alternatively or additionally, "held to the fireplace" can also be understood to mean that the stove door is secured against displacement in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and / or the displacement direction, wherein the stove door can, in particular, have a slight play in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and / or the displacement direction. In this context, a slight play can, in particular, mean a displacement of a maximum of 5 cm, preferably a maximum of 3 cm, and particularly preferably a maximum of 1 cm. A slight play can prevent friction and / or enable the stove door to slide more smoothly. Additionally or alternatively, the stove door can be secured against displacement in the direction of the longitudinal axis and / or the displacement direction in such a way that displacement is limited to an area required and / or intended for release and / or covering.For example, an extension of the required and / or intended area in the direction of the longitudinal axis and / or the displacement direction may be approximately twice the extension of the furnace door in the direction of the longitudinal axis and / or the displacement direction, where "approximately twice" may in particular be twice with a deviation of ±10%.

[0017] Advantageously, sealing means can be provided between the stove door and the fireplace, with the stove door and / or the fireplace in particular contacting the sealing means, at least when covered. The sealing means can be designed to be heat-insulating and / or fluid-tight. For example, the sealing means can be a sealing lip and / or sealing cord. The sealing means can be made of, for example, glass fiber, ceramic fiber, and / or graphite.

[0018] Advantageously, the fireplace can comprise a viewing recess which allows access to an interior of the fireplace, wherein in particular the viewing recess is designed such that, when arranged in the receiving area, it opens into the opening of the body. Advantageously, the oven door can be designed such that it can also expose and cover the viewing recess of the fireplace. The oven door can be designed such that it can simultaneously expose and cover the opening and the viewing recess. In other words, the oven door can be designed and / or configured such that a translational displacement of the oven door can result in a synchronous exposure and covering of the opening and the viewing recess. Advantageously, the oven door can thus be used equally for covering the fireplace and opening, wherein in particular access to the fireplace is allowed via the opening.

[0019] Advantageously, the oven door can be arranged at least in sections between the body and the fireplace, in particular at least in the released or partially released state. The oven door can be arranged such that the oven door can be displaced into an area between the body and the fireplace during the translational displacement for release. The oven door can be arranged such that in the released state the oven door is arranged to a large extent, in particular more than 50 percent, preferably more than 70 percent, particularly preferably more than 80 percent, between the body and the fireplace. Arranging the oven door between the body and the fireplace can have the advantage that trouble-free displacement of the oven door can be enabled and / or made more likely, in particular undisturbed displacement by influences outside the fireplace body system and / or the body.In addition, such a design also offers mechanical protection for the oven door, especially if the oven door is at least partially transparent.

[0020] Advantageously, the furnace door can comprise at least one transparent inspection unit. The inspection unit can be made, at least partially, of glass, a plastic, in particular a heat-resistant plastic, and / or a glass ceramic. The inspection unit can occupy at least 70 percent, preferably at least 90 percent, and particularly preferably approximately or exactly 100 percent of the surface of the furnace door. "Approximately 100 percent" can be understood to mean a furnace door consisting essentially, i.e., in particular, of at least 95 percent, of transparent material, wherein the furnace door can, in particular, also comprise a non-transparent (preferably narrow, i.e., in particular, less than 1 to 5 percent of the width of the entire furnace door) edge and / or frame. The edges can, in particular, be edges of the furnace door extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis or in the direction of displacement.The edges can comprise a surface of the oven door oriented in the direction of the rail contacting the oven door and / or a region of the oven door in the vicinity of these surfaces, in particular a region of the oven door which is spaced from this surface by a maximum extent amounting to 2 to 10 percent of the extent of the oven door in the direction of displacement. The surface of the oven door in this sense can in particular be limited to the surfaces of the oven door whose normal is directed towards the fireplace or is almost directed towards the fireplace. In particular, this definition of the surface can exclusively include those surfaces of the door whose normal is not perpendicular to the normal of the wall. The surface designates in particular, preferably with the exception of a frame, the part of the oven door which, if it is transparent, can allow a view of the fireplace from outside the body.In particular, it can be provided that edges of the stove door which are guided by rails and therefore do not allow a view of the fireplace are not transparent, in particular are part of a frame. A frame can be a part of the stove door which is not transparent and which at least partially, preferably completely, encloses the transparent surfaces. An inspection unit which makes up at least 70 percent of the surface area of ​​the stove door can achieve a good view of the fireplace and at the same time good stability. In addition, a certain amount of scope can still be left for a visual design. An inspection unit which makes up at least 90 percent of the surface area of ​​the stove door can make it possible to have a virtually unobstructed view of the fireplace and at the same time provide, for example, a frame for stabilization.An inspection unit that makes up approximately or exactly 100 percent of the stove door's surface, on the other hand, can provide an extremely good, unobstructed view of the fireplace and can virtually give the impression of a clear view of the fireplace. In this case, there is no frame or only a very narrow frame or edge. A very narrow frame or edge can be more visually appealing. Advantageously, because the stove door is not designed to be pivoting, a very narrow edge can be used without significantly compromising stability.

[0021] Advantageously, the furnace door can comprise several, preferably two to four, inspection units arranged one behind the other in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. Arranging several inspection units one behind the other can, for example, serve to provide thermal insulation, thus preventing burns, especially when touching the furnace door from the outside.

[0022] Advantageously, the oven door can be provided with a flat design. "Flat" can be understood, in particular, as meaning that a tangential plane averaged over any section of the largest surface of the oven door, each section comprising at least 5 to 10 percent of the total surface of the oven door, has a normal that is parallel to other similarly determined normals of averaged tangential planes of the oven door and / or is inclined by a maximum of 10 degrees. A gripping element, in particular, is to be excluded from this calculation. Alternatively or additionally, the flat oven door can be defined such that, preferably with the exception of sculptural ornaments, an average curvature of the oven door, in particular calculated from the two main curvatures, is less than 0.2 m -1< at any point. A flat oven door can advantageously ensure a particularly good adaptation to the body or the oven door.the wall of the body, especially if the body is intended as the foundation of a chimney with a rectangular cross-section. Alternatively or additionally, the stove door can be curved. A curved stove door can be defined in particular by the fact that, starting from a particularly central point on the stove door, the orientation of the stove door deviates increasingly, particularly squarely, from a tangential plane at this central point. A curved stove door can result in particularly good stability of the stove door.

[0023] Additionally or alternatively, the stove door can be round, oval or angular, in particular triangular, rectangular, square or hexagonal. This means that different visual designs can be realized with the construction of the stove door. A round stove door can mean particularly good adaptation to a round or at least partially spherical fireplace. A rectangular, in particular square stove door can mean particularly good adaptation to the shape of a rectangular body, whereby a rectangular body in particular can advantageously be well suited as a foundation for a chimney. A hexagonal stove door can, thanks to a larger number of connection sides, enable particularly flexible and / or modular adaptation to a body or use in a fireplace body system, in particular in at least partially hexagonal fireplace body systems.

[0024] Advantageously, the furnace door can comprise two surfaces arranged at an angle to one another, in particular essentially flat, wherein the two surfaces of the furnace door are arranged in particular perpendicular to one another and / or wherein these surfaces are transparent, wherein the surfaces in particular form a continuous transparent region. "Essentially flat" can in particular be defined such that, preferably apart from sculptural ornaments, a mean curvature of the furnace door, in particular calculated from the two main curvatures, is less than 0.2 m -1< at any point. The furnace door can comprise more than two, in particular three, surfaces, wherein the surfaces in particular adjoin one another, preferably such that a central surface is arranged at an angle, in particular perpendicular, to two surfaces adjoining the central surface. The surfaces can form the inspection unit or form part of the inspection unit.The surfaces can be transparent with the exception of a frame area, wherein the frame area in particular at least partially encloses the entirety of the surfaces and / or wherein the frame area at least partially encloses each of the individual surfaces. Providing several angled surfaces can allow a view of the fireplace from several sides, which can particularly reinforce the impression of an exposed fireplace. Additionally or alternatively, loading can be possible from several sides with the furnace door open.

[0025] Advantageously, the body can have a plurality of openings, in particular on opposite sides in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the fireplace body system in particular comprises a stove door for each of the openings for opening and closing the opening. This advantageously allows access to and / or visibility of the fireplace from multiple sides, particularly when the fireplace body system is arranged centrally in a room.Advantageously, the body can comprise four edge sides, each edge side having a surface with an outwardly facing normal, each of the normals being oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, in particular two of the edge sides being arranged opposite each other in pairs, in particular the body having an opening in each of the edge sides, in particular the openings being arranged opposite each other in pairs. "Substantially perpendicular" can be defined in particular such that the normal is inclined by a maximum of 5 to 10 degrees, preferably a maximum of 5 degrees, particularly preferably a maximum of 3 degrees, and particularly preferably a maximum of 1 degree, to the longitudinal axis. Such an embodiment can enable a view of or access to the fireplace from every side.

[0026] Advantageously, the stove door, the fireplace and / or the fireplace body system can be designed to be independent of the room air, wherein in particular the stove door is designed such that, when closed, it seals with the opening in the body and / or the viewing recess of the fireplace in such a way that, in particular during operation of the fireplace, a fluid flow through the opening and / or through the viewing recess is prevented. Advantageously, this can prevent room air from being used for the operation of the fireplace or the burning of fuel. This can be particularly advantageous in narrower or smaller rooms. Furthermore, such a system can also increase efficiency since, for example, ventilation of the installation room is no longer necessary or only required less frequently.

[0027] According to an alternative embodiment, the stove door, the fireplace, and / or the fireplace body system can be designed to be dependent on the ambient air, whereby, when the stove door is closed, fluid exchange between the fireplace and the external environment of the fireplace body system, in particular with the installation room, is enabled. In particular, the stove door can be designed such that, when closed, it aligns with the opening in the body and / or the viewing recess of the fireplace such that, in particular during operation of the fireplace, fluid flow through the opening and / or through the viewing recess is not prevented.

[0028] Advantageously, the fireplace can comprise means for smoke extraction, in particular an exhaust pipe or an exhaust opening, wherein the body surrounds an exhaust pipe at least in sections, wherein the exhaust pipe is in particular part of the fireplace body system, wherein the means for smoke extraction can be connected or connectable to the exhaust pipe. The means for smoke extraction and / or the exhaust pipe can serve to guide a fluid, in particular exhaust gas, or smoke into the chimney. The means for smoke extraction can comprise a connecting mechanism, in particular a bayonet lock or a screw thread, which can in particular enable a connection to the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe can have a correspondingly compatible further connecting mechanism, e.g. a suitable thread or external thread, in particular for connection to the connecting mechanism of the means for smoke extraction.The exhaust pipe may be connected or connectable to a chimney outlet. The fireplace body system may include at least one additional shaft and / or one additional pipe for the supply of fresh air, which may be connected or connectable, in particular, to corresponding shafts in the chimney.

[0029] The fireplace body system can be equipped with an air-exhaust system (LAS), particularly one that is independent of the room air, or can be connected to an LAS.

[0040] According to one aspect of the invention, a fireplace body system with a receiving area for a fireplace, in particular for domestic use, comprises a body extending along a longitudinal axis, a cavity comprising the receiving area in which the fireplace can be received, and a stove door, wherein the body at least partially surrounds the cavity, wherein the body has an opening that allows access to the receiving area and / or to a fireplace arranged in the receiving area, wherein the stove door is pivotable to expose and cover the opening of the body, in particular about an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. An axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis can be an axis that runs exactly perpendicular to the longitudinal axis within the scope of design-related accuracy and / or that deviates from an exactly perpendicular orientation by a maximum of 15°, preferably a maximum of 10°.The axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, can be identical to a straight boundary line that represents at least part of the outline of the opening. Pivoting about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis can ensure that the stove door is not obstructed laterally when loading the fireplace. This allows for unobstructed horizontal access to the fireplace and reduces the required installation space. In particular, it can be achieved that the stove door "opens upwards or downwards," so that no lateral installation space is required. The stove door can preferably be pivoted in a positive direction of the longitudinal axis and / or in an upward direction when installed. In other words, the stove door can be pivoted such that, when the opening is clear, it is moved in the positive direction of the longitudinal axis and / or upwards when installed.Pivoting upwards or in the positive direction of the longitudinal axis can provide particularly good access to the fireplace, reducing the risk of burns from the open door for a user. Pivoting is understood to mean that the spatial movement of the stove door is achieved or determined, in particular exclusively, by a rotational movement. All advantages and features described herein with regard to the fireplace body system and its components can also be applied analogously to this aspect of the invention, provided this is not technically precluded by the pivoting capability.

[0041] According to a further aspect of the invention, a building, in particular a house, comprising a fireplace body system as described herein is provided. All advantages and features of the fireplace body system can be analogously transferred to the building, and vice versa. Advantageously, the house is a residential building, advantageously a single- or two-family house.

[0042] According to a further aspect of the invention, a method for arranging a fireplace body in a building is provided, comprising the steps: Providing a fireplace body system, in particular as described herein; arranging the fireplace body in a room of the building; in particular arranging a fireplace in the receiving area of ​​the fireplace body.

[0043] All advantages and features of the fireplace body system and the building can be transferred analogously to the process and vice versa.

[0044] Individual features and embodiments mentioned above can be combined with one another and the advantages associated with the individual features also apply to a combination of these features.

[0045] Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the subject matter of the invention with reference to the accompanying figures. The following description serves only to clarify the invention and should not be construed as limiting the appended claims to any one of the embodiments. Fig. 1 a perspective view of a fireplace body system with a concealed body according to an embodiment of the invention, Fig. 2 a perspective view of a fireplace body system with hidden body and raised stove door according to the Figure 1 shown embodiment, Fig. 3a perspective view of a fireplace body system according to an embodiment of the invention, Fig. 4 a perspective view of a fireplace body system with raised stove door according to the Figure 3 shown embodiment, Fig. 5 a plan view of a section through a fireplace body system without a fireplace according to an embodiment of the invention, Fig. 6 a plan view of a section through a fireplace body system with fireplace according to an embodiment of the invention, Fig. 7 a perspective view of a fireplace body system 1 with a closed oven door according to a further embodiment of the invention, Fig. 8 a perspective view of a fireplace body system 1 with an open stove door according to the Fig. 7 shown embodiment, and Fig. 9a perspective view of a fireplace body system 1 according to a further embodiment of the invention.

[0046] Figures 1 and 2show a perspective view of a fireplace body system 1 according to one embodiment of the invention. In order to provide a better view of the interior of the fireplace body system 1, a body 4 of the fireplace body system 1 is shown transparently in this illustration. A fireplace 10 is already arranged in a receiving area 6. The receiving area 6 is part of a cavity 8. For positioning, locking, and simplifying the installation of the fireplace 10, the receiving area 6 comprises rails 24 that allow the fireplace 10 to be inserted and, if necessary, pulled out, e.g., for repair or replacement. The fireplace 10 comprises a viewing recess 16, which can allow access to the interior of the fireplace 10. The viewing recess 16 is located in front of an opening 14 of the body 4, which is shown transparently.A furnace door 2 is configured such that both the viewing recess 16 and the opening 14 can be closed, in particular in a fluid-tight manner. Figure 1the furnace door 2 is in a closed position, i.e., the viewing recess 16 is covered by the furnace door 2. An inspection unit 22 allows a view into the interior of the fireplace 10. The inspection unit 22 in this case is a viewing window, which makes up the largest part of the surface of the furnace door 2 and which is held by a frame 30. The furnace door 2, as well as the inspection unit 22, is flat and rectangular, but can also be curved and / or oval or round, for example. The furnace door 2 can be displaced translationally in a displacement direction VR by means of a guide device 12, in this case two vertically extending rails. The displacement direction VR here runs in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA of the fireplace body system 1. A gripping element 26 allows for simplified displacement of the furnace door 2. In Figure 2the stove door 2 is pushed up, i.e. access to the fireplace 10 is permitted. The fireplace body system 1 further comprises an exhaust pipe 18, which fluidly connects the fireplace 10 to a chimney outlet, as well as an additional pipe 20, which can supply the fireplace 10 with fresh air. The fireplace body system 2 is thus independent of the room air and consequently does not depend on an air supply from the room in which the fireplace body system 2 is installed. A partition wall 28 separates the cavity 8 from an upper region of the fireplace body system 1 and can serve both to stabilize the pipes 18, 20 and to stabilize the body 4.

[0047] The Figures 3 and 4 The fireplace body system 1 shown essentially corresponds to the one shown in the Figures 1 and 2shown fireplace body system 1. However, a body 4 of the fireplace body system 1 (not transparent) is also shown here, whereby some elements inside the body 4 are concealed. An opening 14 of the body 4 is located directly in front of the viewing recess 16. Both the opening 14 of the body 4 and the viewing recess 16 of the fireplace 10 are Figure 3 covered by the furnace door 2. However, the inspection unit 22 allows a view into the interior of the fireplace 10. Figure 4shows a state in which the stove door 2 has been pushed upwards along the rails of the guide device 12 in the displacement direction VR, so that the opening 14 and the viewing recess 16 are exposed. In this exemplary embodiment, the guide device 12 is arranged on an outer wall of the body 4, in particular for clarity, so that the guide device is visible from outside the fireplace body system 1. In a preferred embodiment, the guide device can be integrated into the body 4 and / or arranged within the body 4, so that the guide device is not visible from outside.

[0048] Figures 5 and 6 show a plan view of a section through a fireplace body system 1, which essentially corresponds to that of the Figures 1-4 A body 4 forms an outline of the fireplace body system 1. In Figure 5No fireplace 10 is yet arranged in the receiving area 6. However, rails 24 are visible, which serve to accommodate the fireplace 10. The oven door 2 is prevented from moving transversely to the displacement direction VR by guide rails of a guide device 12, while a movement in the displacement direction VR is possible to release and cover an opening in the body 4 and, if applicable, a viewing recess 16 of the fireplace 10. In Figure 6 A fireplace 10 is integrated into the receiving area 6. Its orientation or arrangement is determined by the rails 24 of the receiving area 6. The section of the view is taken directly above the fireplace 10, so that an exhaust opening 32 for connection to an exhaust pipe 18 and an air supply opening 34 for supplying fresh air to the fireplace 10 can be seen.

[0049] Figures 7 and 8show a perspective view of a fireplace body system 1 according to a further embodiment of the invention. Figure 7 an oven door 2 in a covering position, while the oven door 2 in Figure 8 is translationally displaced upwards in the direction of displacement VR, whereby an opening 14 of a body 4 of the fireplace body system 1 and a viewing recess 16 of a fireplace 10 are exposed. A guide device 12 for guiding the furnace door 2 during displacement is essentially concealed by the body 4. Also not visible, but at least optionally possible, is a support device which serves to facilitate displacement of the furnace door 2. In addition, a damping unit, which is also concealed, can be provided, which serves to prevent the furnace door 2 from striking, in particular when pushing up and / or closing the furnace door 2. The embodiment shown here differs from that shown in the Figures 1 to 6shown in particular in that the oven door 2 is angled here, with two surfaces of the oven door 2 being perpendicular to one another. An inspection unit 22 in the form of a transparent pane extends continuously over a large part of the surface of the oven door 2. The inspection unit 22 is held by a frame 30. The opening 14 and the viewing recess 16 are designed according to the design of the oven door 2, i.e. they also extend in particular over two sides of the fireplace body system 1. It is optionally also conceivable for the oven door 2 to extend over another side, or even all sides, of the body 4 by adding an additional surface which is also oriented perpendicular to the adjacent surface of the oven door 2. This could in particular also be associated with a corresponding adaptation of the opening 14 and the viewing recess 16.The stove door can be moved as a whole along the displacement direction VR using gripping elements 26. The fireplace body system 1 is also designed to be independent of the room air. For this purpose, the stove door 2 is configured such that, in a lower position, it covers both the opening 14 and the viewing recess 16 in a fluid-tight manner. Exhaust gases can be discharged via an exhaust pipe 18, in particular to a chimney. Fresh air can be supplied to the fireplace 10 via an additional pipe 20.

[0050] Figure 9 shows an embodiment of a fireplace body system 1, which in many features corresponds to the Figures 7 and 8shown embodiment. However, ventilation grilles 32 are provided above and below the fireplace 10 or the receiving area 6, which can enable convection of fresh air. This embodiment therefore allows room air-dependent operation of the fireplace 10. In particular, the additional pipe 20 for an external fresh air supply is optional. Corresponding ventilation grilles 32 can optionally also be used in the embodiments shown in the Figures 1-6 shown, or in other embodiments. List of reference symbols
