Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of a drive device on a door that can be arranged such that it is pivotable on a housing of an appliance, particularly a cooling and/or refrigerating appliance, in which the drive device designed to pivot the door in relation to the housing is mounted on the door, said drive device comprising: a hinge comprising at least one first hinge part attached to the door and at least one second hinge part which is attached to the housing; at least one drive motor; at least one transmission element which is coupled to the hinge in an at least indirectly articulated manner and can be at least indirectly driven by means of the drive motor; and a coupling device that can switch between at least one coupling state in which the transmission element is coupled to the drive motor and at least one uncoupling state.

Abstract: In one form, the invention relates to a door drive for a door, the door drive comprising: a drive motor, a drive shaft drivable and thereby rotatable by the drive motor, a clutch, and a threaded spindle which is drivable and thereby rotatable by the drive shaft via the clutch, wherein the clutch comprises: a catch element, an actuating element which, by rotating the drive shaft, is drivable and thereby rotatable around an actuation rotational axis by the drive shaft, the actuating element comprising at least one first actuation area, and a clutch element which comprises at least one second actuation area corresponding to the first actuation area, wherein the clutch element is translationally movable along the actuation rotational axis relative to the catch element between at least one decoupling position in which the clutch element is decoupled from the catch element, and at least one coupling position in which the clutch element is coupled to the catch element, and wherein a relative rotation between the actuating element and the clutch element, the relative rotation being effectable by rotating the drive shaft, can be converted, by means of the actuation areas, into a translational movement of the clutch element from the decoupling position into the coupling position, the translational movement taking place along the actuation rotational axis, relative to the catch element, relative to the actuating element and in the direction of the catch element.
