A refrigerator has a heat-insulated carcass which has an inner container with a cool able interior space for storing food, a refrigeration device for cooling the interior space, an electromechanical opening assisting device, and a door leaf mounted to the carcass for opening and closing the interior space. The opening assisting device contains an actuator configured to open the door leaf automatically by displacement of a control body. The actuator has a displaceable base body, a plunger mounted in the base body as the control body and an overload protection device arresting the plunger in the base body. The overload protection device fixes the plunger rigidly in the base body, for as long as an impact force acting on the plunger remains smaller than a trigger force and to release the plunger from the base body as soon as an impact force acting on the plunger exceeds the trigger force.

Domestic refrigeration appliance with an overload protection device of an opening assisting device and associated method

A domestic refrigeration appliance has a heat-insulated carcass which has an inner container with a coolable interior space for storing food, a refrigeration device for cooling the coolable interior space, an assisting device, and a door leaf mounted pivotable relative to the carcass for opening and closing the interior space or a drawer which in the closed state is pushed into the coolable interior space in order to close it, and in the open state is at least partially withdrawn from the coolable interior space. The assisting device has an air pressure sensor configured to determine a change of the air pressure within the interior space due to a pushing and/or pulling on the closed door leaf or the closed drawer. The assisting device is configured to open the closed door leaf or the closed drawer automatically at least partially depending on the determined change in the air pressure.

Domestic refrigeration appliance and method for operating a domestic refrigeration appliance

A household refrigeration appliance includes a heat-insulated body which has an inner container with a coolable interior for storing foodstuffs, a refrigeration device for cooling the coolable interior, an electromechanical opening assistance device, and a door leaf hinged relative to the body for opening and closing the coolable interior, or a drawer which is pushed into the coolable interior in the closed state, to close the interior, and is withdrawn at least partially from the coolable interior in the open state. The electromechanical opening assistance device has an electromechanical actuator configured when activated to automatically open the closed door leaf or the closed drawer at least partially by repositioning an operating element of the electromechanical opening assistance device. The electromechanical actuator has an electric motor, a drive pinion, a cylindrical gear with dual gearing, and a toothed rack.
