Abstract: A household appliance includes a camera with a housing and a first electrical plug connector in the housing. A reinforcement part separate from the camera is configured for direct connection to the housing through a cutout in a wall of the appliance such that the housing and the reinforcement part are disposed on opposite sides of the wall. The reinforcement part has a second electrical plug connector for connection to the first electrical plug connector. The second plug connector is a separate component provided on the reinforcement part by a snap-fit connection and/or in the mounted state the first electrical plug connector is snap-fitted to the second electrical plug connector by a snap-fit connection and/or the housing of the camera is connected in the mounted final state to the reinforcement part by a screw connection. A mounting method for the camera is also provided.

Abstract: A method serves for determining an object weight of an object that is put on a weighing zone, which has a plurality of weighing plates arranged in a grid pattern, of a household refrigerator. The respective weights are measured by the weighing plates and an image is taken of the weighing zone. From the image, respective percentages of support surfaces of the object stored on the weighing zone in relation to the individual weighing plates are determined. From the weights measured at the weighing plates and the proportions of the support surfaces the object weight of the respective object is determined, and advantageously the determined object weight of the object is stored in a database. A refrigerating device has a household refrigerator with a refrigerating compartment having a weighing zone with a plurality of weighing plates arranged in a grid pattern. The refrigerating device is intended for performing the method.

Abstract: A method is used to determine an object weight of at least one object for refrigeration positioned on a weighing area with weighing plates of a household refrigeration appliance. The respective weights are measured in a time-resolved manner by means of the weighing plates and a sum of changes in weight determined within a predetermined period of time on the weighing plates is assigned to an object for refrigeration as its object weight. A refrigeration apparatus has a household refrigeration appliance with a refrigerating zone, which has a weighing area with a number of weighing plates. The refrigeration apparatus is configured to carry out the method.
