Abstract
For the purpose of increasing flexibility a home appliance device, in particular a home chiller appliance device, is proposed. The novel device has 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; and 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%.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A home appliance device, in particular a home chiller 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; and 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%.
2 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the direction being a longitudinal direction of the front cover element.
3 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the front cover element being offset with respect to the receiving space at least viewed in a further direction which is at least substantially perpendicular to a main extension plane of the front cover element.
4 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the front cover element being implemented integrally.
5 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the front cover element having at least one opening for a pass-through of at least one functional element of the functional unit.
6 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the front cover element having a fastening unit for fastening the front cover element to a home appliance housing.
7 . The home appliance device according to claim 6 , the fastening unit comprising at least one fastening element which is implemented as a snap-fit element.
8 . The home appliance device according to claim 6 , the fastening unit comprising at least two fastening elements which are implemented differently.
9 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the front cover element having at least one depression for detaching the front cover element.
10 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , the front cover element comprising at least one front panel and at least one spacer element for supporting the front panel while preventing sink marks.
11 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one attachment element which at least partly encompasses the functional housing in an assembled state.
12 . The home appliance device according to claim 1 , 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.
13 . A home appliance, in particular a home chiller appliance, comprising at least one home appliance device according to claim 1 .Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
