Abstract

For the purpose of improving efficiency a home appliance device, in particular a home chiller appliance device, is proposed. The device has a housing defining a storage space; a home appliance door configured for closing off the storage space; and an insert which is insertable into the storage space and has a base unit and an insulation element arranged in a vicinity of a corner of the base unit in a closed state of the home appliance door, wherein the insulation element at least partly insulates a further intermediate space between the base unit and the home appliance door in the closed state.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A home appliance device comprising:
a housing defining a storage space; a home appliance door configured for closing off the storage space;
an insert which is insertable into the storage space and divides the storage space into storage areas;
wherein said insert has a base unit, a seal, and an insulation element arranged in a vicinity of a corner of the base unit in a closed state of the home appliance door, wherein said seal is arranged along a length of said insert and at least partly engages the home appliance door and at least partly insulates an intermediate space between the base unit and the home appliance door in a closed state of the door, wherein the insulation element at least partly insulates a further intermediate space laterally of said seal between the base unit and the home appliance door in the closed state of the door; and
wherein the insulation element is made at least partially of a flexible hard plastic which flexes when contacted by the door in the closed state, and the seal is a different material than the insulation element.

2. The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the insulation element having a contact surface which at least partly contacts the home appliance door in the closed state.

3. The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the insulation element being at least partly deformable and being at least partly deformed by the home appliance door in the closed state.

4. The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the insulation element at least partly embodying a corner of the insert.

5. The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the insulation element comprising a recess which is configured for receiving the seal of the insert.

6. The home appliance device according to claim 5 , the seal having a greater deformability than the insulation element.

7. The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the insert having a front cover element and a cover support element, wherein the front cover element is connected to the cover support element in a form-fit manner in at least one first direction and is in at least one pre-assembly state movable with respect to the cover support element in at least one second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

8. The home appliance device according to claim 7 , the insert comprising a lateral element which at least partly embodies a lateral frame element of the insert.

9. The home appliance device according to claim 8 , the lateral element comprising a stopper for a sealing lip of the insert, wherein the sealing lip is connected to the front cover element or to the cover support element.

10. The home appliance device according to claim 9 , the insulation element embodying the stopper at least partly.

11. A home appliance comprising a home appliance device according to claim 1 .

12. The home appliance device according to claim 9 , wherein said home appliance device is a home chiller appliance.

13. A home appliance device comprising:
a housing defining a storage space; a home appliance door configured for closing off the storage space;
an insert which is insertable into the storage space and divides the storage space into storage areas;
wherein said insert has a base unit and an insulation element arranged in a vicinity of a corner of the base unit in a closed state of the home appliance door, wherein the insulation element at least partly insulates a further intermediate space between the base unit and the home appliance door in the closed state; and
wherein the insulation element is made at least partially of a flexible hard plastic which flexes when contacted by the door in the closed state, and the insulation element has a recess which is configured for receiving a sealing element of the insert.
