Home Appliance Device

Abstract

For the purpose of increasing flexibility a home appliance device, in particular a home chiller appliance device, is proposed. The novel device includes at least one functional housing, which is arranged at least largely within an insulation-receiving chamber and defines at least one receiving space for receiving at least one functional unit, the functional housing being implemented self-supporting by having a reinforcement feature for at least substantially maintaining a shape of the functional housing during a foaming process of the insulation-receiving chamber.

1 . A home appliance device, comprising: at least one functional housing, which is arranged at least largely within an insulation-receiving chamber and defines at least one receiving space for receiving at least one functional unit, the functional housing being implemented self-supporting by having a reinforcement feature for at least substantially maintaining a shape of the functional housing during a foaming process of the insulation-receiving chamber;
 at least one attachment element which at least partly encompasses the functional housing in an assembled state, the at least one attachment element mounted to the insulation receiving chamber and supporting the functional housing.   
     
     
         2 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement feature includes at least one reinforcement element, which is arranged at least partly within the receiving space. 
     
     
         3 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement feature includes at least one further reinforcement element, which is arranged at least partly outside the receiving space. 
     
     
         4 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement feature covers merely a portion of an exterior side of the functional housing. 
     
     
         5 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement feature includes at least two reinforcement elements which are shaped differently. 
     
     
         6 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement feature includes at least one reinforcement element which is honeycomb-shaped. 
     
     
         7 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement feature includes at least one reinforcement element which is rib-shaped. 
     
     
         8 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional housing is implemented at least partly of plastic. 
     
     
         9 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional housing has a fastening unit for fastening the functional housing to a home appliance housing. 
     
     
         10 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional housing has a sealing unit for sealing at least one electrical socket during the foaming process. 
     
     
         11 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a holding recess provided on the at least one attachment element and a holding pin disposed on the functional housing, the holding pin mating with the holding recess for supporting the functional housing. 
     
     
         12 . The home appliance device according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one front cover element covering the receiving space at least largely and having, in at least one direction, an extension which exceeds an extension of the receiving space in said direction by at least 5%. 
     
     
         13 . A home appliance, comprising at least one home appliance device according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         14 . A home appliance device, comprising: at least one functional housing being disposed substantially within an insulation-receiving chamber and defining a receiving space for receiving at least one functional unit, the functional housing being self-supporting by having a reinforcement feature for at least substantially maintaining a shape of the functional housing during a foaming process of the insulation-receiving chamber, the reinforcement element including a honeycomb array of a plurality of cells adjoining one another and axially projecting from an external side of the housing, the reinforcement element including a reinforcement rib within the receiving space.
