Description

The invention relates to a household refrigerator with an outer housing, in which an inner container of the household refrigerator is arranged. The household refrigerator has a receiving space for food, which is bounded by walls of the inner container. The household refrigerating appliance furthermore has at least one separate heat-conducting element arranged outside the receiving space, with which heat a heat source which is separate from the heat-conducting element can be conducted to a condensation-critical point of the household refrigerating appliance.

For household refrigerators, it is known that, for example, moisture from the environment can be precipitated at cold spots of the household refrigerating appliance and can lead to condensation there. Such a condensate water is undesirable since, on the one hand, when a user grips a component, it can lead to the user gripping the condensate water. On the other hand, it may also happen that this condensate water freezes, especially in areas of a freezer compartment of the household refrigerator. For example, this can impair functional components, such as a seal, whereby undesirable situations can occur, especially at the transition between such a seal and a door which bears against it and closes the freezer compartment, for example. On the one hand can then freeze the door to this seal and an opening of the door be difficult. If the door is then opened with a correspondingly great force, the seal can be damaged. This can then lead to a no longer fully functional sealing effect, so that heat can penetrate into the freezer compartment.

From the DE 20 2014 005 490 U1 a household refrigeration device is known in which a heat conducting element is arranged on an inner wall portion of the body or on the inner wall portion of the door in order to avoid a condensate within the storage space. However, this heat-conducting element is formed only as a simple rail element which is L-shaped in cross-section or is angled. It is only in the area of a contact surface of a door of an internal freezer compartment arranged foam side. The heat transfer is therefore limited in this embodiment.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a household refrigeration device in which the heat-conducting element is designed and arranged to be more functional, so that the heat conduction via this heat-conducting element is improved.

This object is achieved by a household refrigerator, which has the features of claim 1.

One aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigerating appliance with an outer housing, in which an inner container of the household refrigerating appliance is arranged. The outer housing and the inner container are two separate components. A receiving space of the household refrigerator, which is designed to receive food is limited by walls of the inner container. The household refrigerator also has a separate heat conducting element. This representational and form predetermined heat conducting element is arranged outside of the receiving space in the household refrigerator. The heat-conducting element is designed to conduct heat of a heat source separate from the heat-conducting element to a condensation-critical point of the household refrigerating appliance. The heat-conducting element is arranged on a front flange of the inner container and extends from the front flange to the condensation-critical point. Such a configuration enables improved heat conduction via the heat-conducting element to the condensation-critical point. Because of this local connection of the Wärmeleitelements, namely on the front flange of the inner container this is due to its local design on household refrigeration appliance at a higher temperature level, than other components in the household refrigerator. In particular, the front flange is due to its local position on household refrigeration appliance at room temperature level or substantially at room temperature level, so that here a correspondingly greater heat is present, which is then at least partially conductive to the betau critical site on the heat conducting element. In comparison to the prior art, a significantly higher temperature level than thermal coupling point for the heat-conducting element is provided by this specific thermal connection point of the heat-conducting element on the front flange. This can in particular also an undesirable condensation or even a Freezing of liquid at the dew-critical point can be avoided. A condensation-critical point is understood to be one in which moisture can accumulate and which, in particular, can freeze there.

The front flange of the inner container preferably represents a component part lying forward in the depth direction of the household refrigerating appliance or a corresponding component area of the inner container. The front flange is just in embodiments of inner containers in which in the receiving space, which is in particular a cooling compartment, another receiving space, which is then a freezer, is included, offset in this depth direction forward relative to the front side or the front flange of the inner freezer compartment arranged. By means of such a configuration, a particularly advantageous avoidance of condensation or freezing at this front flange of the freezer compartment inside the refrigerating compartment is achieved, especially in the case of these types of appliances. Especially with these types of devices is achieved by this quasi forward coupling of the Wärmeleitelements to the cooling compartment delimiting the front flange of the inner container and thus also on the front flange of the preferred cooling compartment receiving space achieved a particularly noteworthy thermal coupling for efficient heat transfer to the condensation critical point.

It is preferably provided that the heat-conducting element is in thermal contact with a front panel of the outer housing which is separate from the heat-conducting element and from the front flange of the inner container. By this further advantageous embodiment, a specific component can be provided by the front panel, which is designed to be more efficient with respect to the heat and thus a further improved thermal coupling for heat transfer from this front panel to the heat conducting and from there to the condensation critical point is possible.

Preferably, it is provided that viewed in the depth direction of the household refrigerating appliance, the front panel covers the heat-conducting element at the front. By such a configuration, the heat-conducting element is not visible when viewed from the front side of the household refrigerating appliance and in particular when the door is open, which limits the receiving space. Thus it is on the one hand by the Front panel concealed and protected, so that no undesirable effects of this heat-conducting element can occur. On the other hand, a particularly stable mechanical connection of the heat-conducting element is made possible by this configuration, which in turn also allows a permanent and stable thermal connection with the front panel and on the other hand, the heat-conducting element is arranged positionally secure.

It is preferably provided that the front panel is made of metal, in particular a sheet metal component. By such an advantageous embodiment, the advantages mentioned above can be further improved. In particular, the very efficient temperature application and then a correspondingly extensive and rapid heat transfer to the heat conducting element is made possible. In addition, such a design is also mechanically stable.

In an advantageous embodiment, the heat-conducting element is embodied in the manner of a clasp or clip. As a result, it can be mechanically fastened to the front flange on the one hand and the condensation-critical point in a particularly advantageous manner. By this clasp-like configuration, a certain reversible deformation elasticity of this heat-conducting element is formed. As a result, the heat-conducting element can already be fastened in an advantageous manner to the abovementioned connection points without additional fastening means. By this embodiment, then a certain clinging self-locking is achieved at these connection points.

Preferably, it is provided that viewed in the depth direction of the household refrigerating appliance, the heat-conducting element has a front-side holding channel, which surrounds the front-side front flange of the inner container. This is a further, very advantageous embodiment since thus a very location-accurate and mechanically stable attachment of the heat-conducting element is made possible on the front flange. As a result of this refinement, this attachment structure of the heat-conducting element formed on one side is also adapted to the conditions of the front flange, in particular its geometric configuration, so that simple mechanical fastening is also achieved here in an advantageous manner. In particular, this front-side holding channel, which is considered in the depth direction, is also virtually a clip-like plug-in channel. The gutter shape is in deformable, in particular, the gutter legs of this holding channel are movable towards each other and away from each other, so here the clinging functionality is improved achieved.

In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the retaining channel has a recess on a channel leg into which a coupling element, which is formed on the front flange, extends. This allows further stabilization of the mechanical fastening. In addition, thus a location-accurate installation of the heat-conducting element is made possible on the front flange.

In particular, it is provided that the heat-conducting element has a holding web which is in communication with the condensation-critical point. This retaining web is preferably designed as an elongated, straight rail. This holding web may be formed angled perpendicular to its longitudinal axis in a sectional view, in particular have an L-shape. This also allows it to be coupled mechanically securely to the condensation-critical point. The retaining web and the retaining channel are separate sub-elements of the heat-conducting element.

In addition, a possible large-area contacting of the condensation-critical point is achieved by this configuration, so that a corresponding circumferential heat transfer is possible.

In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the holding web is held on an outer side of the inner container. The heat-conducting element is thus arranged completely outside the receiving space and arranged on an outer housing facing the outside.

Preferably, it is provided that the holding web is an angled web which is arranged at a betauungskritische point representing or having step on the outside of the inner container and this step is arranged encompassing. In particular, this holding web is arranged clamped at this stage. This clamping effect is achieved in particular when the heat-conducting element is elastically deformable in itself, in particular in its tension-like configuration.

Advantageously, by the step on the outside of the inner container, a front side of a freezer compartment formed inside the receiving space is formed. Seen in the depth direction of the household refrigerating appliance thus formed in the inner container integrated level formed on the inside of the inner container, a front side of this freezer compartment or a front flange of Gefriefachs. Viewed in the depth direction to the front, the inner container extends even further forward, creating a corresponding volume of this freezing receiving or receiving space is formed. By this step, a stop is formed on a receiving space facing the inside of the inner container, on which a freezing compartment occlusive door rests when this door is closed. In particular, a seal may be arranged on this inner side of the step, against which this door, which closes the inner freezer compartment, rests in the closed state. The seal may be disposed on the door or the front of this stage.

It is preferably provided that the retaining channel and the retaining web of the heat-conducting element are connected to at least one connecting bracket of the heat-conducting element. In particular, the retaining channel extends as a rectilinear molding component. Accordingly, an embodiment of the holding web is in an advantageous manner. In particular, the holding groove and the holding web extend at a distance from one another and are parallel or substantially parallel to one another with their longitudinal axes. In this connection, the connection bracket is then oriented, as it were, perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to these longitudinal extensions of the retaining web and the retaining channel. In particular, this connection bracket is designed as a strip-like element. By such a relatively filigree configuration, the heat-conducting element is formed very weight-saving and yet provided highly functional. In particular, the elastic deformability of the heat-conducting element is then made particularly advantageous by this configuration. In particular, the connection bracket is designed as a spreader bar. This means that it is deformable in itself, in particular by its geometric configuration, which is particularly uneven, quasi to some extent variable in length. If this basic position or basic shape in which this connecting bracket is uneven, deformed in the direction of a planar shape, so this length enlargement occurs, whereby then also the holding channel and the holding web can be removed from each other and the entire heat conducting element spreads quasi. Due to the basic shape of the connecting bracket, the quasi-shortening takes place when the connecting bracket is automatically returned to its basic shape, as a result of which the retaining channel and the retaining web are automatically moved toward one another again. As a result, the clamping action or the clamping action of the heat conducting element is given functionally.

Viewed in the depth direction of the receiving space delimiting the front flange of the inner container and the freezer compartment limiting further front flange of the inner container are spaced and formed the further front flange inside the receiving space, which forms in particular the cooling compartment arranged. The two front flanges are integrally formed with the inner container.

Advantageously, the heat conducting element is integrally formed. It can be formed or folded from a blank, which is produced by a corresponding punching and the like, a corresponding three-dimensional structure.

The heat-conducting element preferably has at least two, preferably three, such connecting straps. In particular, in the longitudinal direction of the holding channel and viewed in the longitudinal direction of the holding web, a first connecting bar is connected to first ends of the holding channel and the holding web, a second connecting bar connected to the opposite ends of the holding channel and the holding web, and a third connecting bar between the first and the second connecting bar arranged and connected to the retaining channel and the retaining web, in particular approximately in the middle of the lengths of the retaining web and the retaining channel connected thereto.

In particular, in the embodiment already described, in which a freezer compartment is formed internally in a refrigerated compartment, the warm ambient air condenses in the temperature transition to the freezer at the there preferably located inside seal the front flange of the freezer compartment. In order to avoid such ice formation, in the proposed aspects, the corresponding heat-conducting element is formed and coupled to the specific thermal connection points.

It can be provided that the heat-conducting element is additionally fastened with a fastening means, for example an adhesive tape, to at least one of the attachment points. In particular, the heat conducting element is foamed in the intermediate space between the outer housing and the inner container when this thermal insulation foam is introduced in this intermediate space.

In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

In Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a household refrigerator 1 shown, which is designed for storing and preserving food. The household refrigerator 1 is designed here as a fridge-freezer combination device. The household refrigerator 1 has a housing 2. The housing 2 comprises an outer housing 3, which closes the household refrigerator 1 on the outside. In addition, the housing 2 comprises an inner container 4. The inner container 4 is received in the outer housing 3 and a separate component thereto. In a gap 5 between the inner container 4 and the outer housing 3 is a thermal insulation material, in particular an insulating foam, introduced.

Walls of the inner container 4 define a receiving space 6, which is a cooling compartment here. In addition, the household refrigerator 1, a freezer compartment 7, which is designed as an internal freezer compartment 7 in the refrigerator compartment 6. The freezer compartment 7 is closed by a separate door 8. The door 8 is only accessible in such a configuration when an entire door 9, the entire receiving space or the cooling compartment 6 closes the front, is open. As can be seen in the embodiment shown, in the height direction (y-direction), the freezer compartment 7 is formed on the inside in the upper area of the refrigerating compartment 6. In addition, it can be seen that in the depth direction (z-direction), the freezer compartment 7 is arranged offset to the rear in the cooling compartment 6, so that the inner container 4 extends forward beyond this freezer compartment 6 addition.

The inner container 4, viewed in the direction of the depth, has a front front flange 10, which is designed to be circumferential in particular and thus also forms a delimiting frame of a feed opening of the refrigerating compartment 6. At this front flange 10 of the inner container 4, which thus forms the front end of the inner container 4 viewed in the depth direction, a seal 11 can be arranged, against which the door 9 then rests in the closed state.

As can be seen, the front flange 10 is viewed in the depth direction relative to the door 8 and thus also opposite to a Fig. 1 not visible to further front flange of the freezer compartment 7 arranged offset forward.

In particular, it is provided that the domestic refrigeration appliance 1 has a separate front panel 12 to this front flange 12, which is shown here only schematically and is symbolically provided with the reference numeral 12. This front panel 12 is preferably made of metal and is in particular a sheet metal component. In contrast, the inner container 4 is preferably a one-piece, deep-drawn plastic component.

Like also in Fig. 1 can not be seen, this further front flange, viewed in the depth direction, the freezer compartment 7 bounded on the front side and thus a feed opening of the freezer compartment 7 quasi frame-like limited, a contact surface on which the door 8 rests in the closed state. At this front flange of the freezer compartment 7 or on the door 8, a further seal may preferably be arranged, on which then rests the door 8 in the closed state. Just this area of this front flange of the freezer compartment 7 is a betau critical location. There, due to the passing in the open door 9 in the cooling compartment 6 passing ambient air form a moisture that can then freeze. In particular, this can take place if, if necessary, then the door 8 is opened and a corresponding Temperature gradient between the colder freezer compartment 7 and the warmer compartment 6 is formed.

In order to avoid such a condensation and in particular a freezing of this moisture in the region of this front flange of the freezer compartment 7, the household refrigerating appliance 1 has at least one specifically designed and spatially specifically coupled separate heat conducting element 13, as an exemplary embodiment in a perspective view in FIG Fig. 2 is shown. This heat-conducting element 13 is also traveled in the uninstalled state completed in its shape and given accordingly. The heat-conducting element 13 is thus a molded component and no thermal paste or the like. The heat-conducting element 13 is preferably formed in one piece and in particular made of metal. The heat-conducting element 13 is formed like a clasp or clamp-like. It has in the embodiment shown a retaining channel 14, which is rectilinear and has a longitudinal axis A. This retaining channel 14 is quasi considered in accordance with Fig. 2 open at the bottom and has two channel legs 15 and 16. The opening of this retaining channel 14 is thus downwards, so that this retaining channel 14 can be attached to the top of a coupling point from the top. In particular, the heat-conducting element 13 is thermally connected to this holding channel 14 with the front flange 10, in particular attached thereto. In particular, the heat-conducting element 13 is thermally coupled to the retaining channel 14 thermally with the front panel 12, in particular arranged directly adjacent thereto. It is thus then a direct mechanical and thus also a direct thermal connection between the heat-conducting element 13, in particular the retaining channel 14, formed with this front panel 12.

As can be seen, this retaining channel 14 has a recess 17 into which a coupling element formed on the front panel 12 can extend in the mounted state. However, this coupling element can also be formed on the front flange 10.

In addition to this retaining channel 14, the heat-conducting element 13 has a retaining web 18 separate therefrom. This is also rectilinear and has a longitudinal axis B. In particular, this holding web 18 is uneven, in particular as angled Rail formed. In particular, this holding web 18 in a sectional view perpendicular to its longitudinal axis B to an L-shape.

As can be seen, the retaining groove 14 and the holding web 18 are spaced and arranged parallel or substantially parallel to each other.

The heat-conducting element 13 moreover has at least one connecting clip 19, in the exemplary embodiment three connecting clips 19. The connecting straps 19 are uneven, in particular strip-like components, which connect the retaining channel 14 and the retaining bar 18. Their uneven shape, in particular an angled configuration, they also have a certain elastic deformation, so that they are reversibly variable in length in the direction of their longitudinal extent, if this unevenness is increased or decreased. As a result, a certain deformation elasticity of the heat-conducting element 13 is formed, so that then in the context of the retaining groove 14 and the retaining web 18 can be correspondingly removed from each other or to move toward each other. As a result, the clasp-like or clamp-like functionality of the heat-conducting element 13 is made possible. In particular, the holding web 18 is formed in the context of mechanical and then thermal coupling with another location of the household refrigerating appliance 1, in particular with the betau critical location.

In Fig. 3 is shown in a partial perspective view of the household refrigerator 1 with sub-components. In particular, a view of the freezer compartment 7 facing away from the outside 20 of the inner container 4 is shown here, wherein this portion of the inner container 4, the in Fig. 3 are shown, those are walls that limit the freezer compartment 7.

In the Fig. 3 It can already be seen that the heat-conducting element 13 as shown in FIG Fig. 2 is installed on this outer side 20 of the inner container 4. For this purpose, it can be seen that the holding web 18 is arranged on a step 21, which is formed on this outer side 20, fitting. This step 21 forms the transition from the freezer compartment 7 to the cooling compartment 6. In particular, a collar 22 of this stage 21 is shown, which is connected to an in Fig. 3 not recognizable inside, which is opposite to this outer side 20, the front flange of the freezer compartment 7 forms. In addition, in Fig. 3 Also to recognize that the retaining groove 14 rests against the front flange 10 or in particular is plugged. In addition, in Fig. 3 also the front panel 12, which is separate from the front flange 10 and has already been mentioned, is shown with a panel part 23, which is shown here in the not yet mounted state. This front panel 12 is then in the mounted state with the retaining channel 14 in particular in direct contact and covers the heat-conducting element 13, in particular the retaining channel 14 when viewed from the front side completely. As can be seen, therefore, the heat-conducting element 13 extends in the direction of the depth over the front flange of the freezer compartment 7 towards the front to the front end of the inner container 4, which is formed by the front flange 10.

It is in Fig. 3 It can also be seen that this heat-conducting element 13 thus rests in the form of a clasp or clamp-like manner between two coupling points arranged at different depth positions, as viewed in the depth direction of the household refrigerating appliance. In particular, this step 21 and in particular this collar 22 thus represents the condensation-critical point on the side facing the cooling compartment 6 and thus on the inside of this inner container 4 opposite the outer side 20. The front flange 10, however, and in particular, if present, the front panel 12 , represent a heat source, through which heat is transferred to the heat conducting element 13 and can then be transmitted from this then to this wetting critical point 24 via this collar 22.

In the finished state, this heat-conducting element 13 is then surrounded by the already mentioned insulation foam, so that it is embedded in this intermediate space 5 accordingly.

In Fig. 4 is in a vertical sectional view (sectional plane is the yz plane) the household refrigerator 1 according to Fig. 1 in the upper area, namely the freezer compartment 7 shown and shown with the door 9 closed.

As in Fig. 4 It can also be seen that a seal 25 is arranged on the already mentioned, further front flange 28 which delimits the freezer compartment 7 at the front or encloses a charging opening of the freezer compartment 7 in the manner of a frame. The seal 25 may also be arranged on the door 8.

As in Fig. 4 can be explicitly seen, the heat-conducting element 13 thus extends quasi from this front area of the freezer compartment 7 in the direction of depth towards the front door 9 and is in particular connected to the front flange 10 with the retaining channel 14, in particular thermally coupled to the front panel 12 , especially directly connected.

As in Fig. 4 can also be seen, the front flanges 10 and 28 viewed in the depth direction of the household refrigerating appliance 1 are spaced from each other and the other front flange 28 is offset to the rear formed in the cooling compartment 6.

In Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of a partial section of the view in FIG Fig. 4 shown here, wherein this enlarged view is shown in the region of the heat-conducting element 13 here. As in particular in Fig. 5 can be seen, is in this cross-section L-shaped holding web 18 a large area, in particular the entire surface of the outside 20 at the stage 21 at. The angled and the holding web 18 facing away from angled shape of the connecting bracket 19 can be seen.

In addition, the plugged onto the front flange 10 state of the retaining channel 14 can be seen.

In this sectional view, it can also be seen that a coupling element 26 extends through the recess 17. The coupling element 26 integrally formed, in particular, on the front flange 24 thus extends in the depth direction to the rear into this recess 17. As in the illustration in Fig. 5 can be seen, the connecting bracket 19 has a trapezoidal configuration.

In addition, it can be seen that this connection bracket 19 is in particular spaced and thus also arranged without contact to the outer side 20 of the inner container 4.

As well as in Fig. 6 in which a perspective sectional view of the view in Fig. 5 is shown, is on the retaining groove 14, in particular on the holding web 18 facing and thus in the depth direction rear gutter legs 16 integrally formed at least one tab 27, which can also sit on the outside 20 in the mounted state. Due to the curved shape, a certain elastic spring effect is achieved in order to be able to provide appropriate elasticity of movement, if necessary.
