Abstract
A modular refrigeration and/or freezer appliance comprising at least one U-shaped module (16) which can be fitted to other modules to define, together with closure walls and at least one frontal door, a thermally insulated compartment, said U-shaped module (16) being installable vertically, there being provided, in correspondence with said closure walls (40, 41), reversible connection means (6 a, 6 b, 30) between the U-shaped modules (16) or between said U-shaped module and other modular components (2) of the refrigeration appliance.
Description
- The present invention relates to a modular refrigeration and/or freezer appliance in accordance with the introduction to the main claim. In particular, it relates to the structure of a refrigeration and/or freezer appliance or the like, and to its components, which are such as to render the structure sectional and adaptable to the most varied requirements.
- As known to the expert of the art, known refrigeration appliance structures are formed from a plurality of panels and profile bars joined together by screw means or by injected insulating material (foam) made to expand between said panels and profile bars; the same insulating material maintains the panels and profile bars joined together. This involves considerable assembly times and high costs in terms of the labour required to handle a large number of pieces and to properly assemble them.
- A first problem derives from the fact that the means for coupling the various module components together are such that once the refrigeration or freezer appliance has been assembled, it cannot be easily disassembled.
- In addition, alignment between the various module components, for example in the case of assembly by means of foam, is particularly critical and must be delegated to expert qualified, and hence costly, personnel possibly using templates or support jigs.
- Moreover the structure of such refrigerators, being based on a number of structural parts joined together to form a frame, does not present good structural rigidity as the connections between the various panels are delegated merely to the injected insulating material.
- In addition, the joining together of various structural parts typically results in a worsening of the thermal insulation of the cabinet, as the connections between the various panels introduce material continuity between the external environment and the interior of the refrigerated compartment, resulting in poorer insulation characteristics than commonly used expanded materials, hence giving rise to thermal bridges which increase heat transfer between the external environment and the thermally insulated compartment.
- DE 1911903 describes a horizontal modular refrigerator cabinet consisting of a plurality of U-shaped structural modules of rigid foamed material disposed horizontally side by side such that the side walls of each U-shaped module define the upper and lower walls of the refrigerator cabinet. The refrigeration compartment is closed frontally by doors and laterally by flat panels of the same material with which the modules are made. The said patent does not provide details of how such flat panels are fixed to the ends of the U-shaped modules, which are abuttingly joined to each other. Moreover, such a type of cabinet is suitable more for commercial use (bars, beer houses, etc.) than for domestic use, as the U-shaped elements define a sort of refrigerated counter.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a modular refrigeration and/or freezer appliance which is improved compared with the known art, in the sense that it enables high structural rigidity to be achieved with easy assembly by reversible means providing perfect sealing of thermal insulation.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a modular refrigeration and/or freezer appliance for domestic use which can be easily assembled, even by not particularly expert personnel and without the use of templates and similar equipment, so minimizing assembly time and cost, facilitated by consisting of just a small number of parts.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration and/or freezer appliance in which the presence of thermal bridges which worsen thermal insulation characteristics is minimized.
- These and other objects are attained by a modular refrigeration and/or freezer appliance according to the technical teachings of the accompanying claims.
- Further characteristics and advaritages of the invention will be apparent from the description of a preferred but non-exclusive embodiment of the modular refrigeration and/or freezer appliance, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 15 is a schematic view of a different embodiment of the refrigeration appliance of the present invention; -
FIG. 16 is a perspective view of an air duct to be used in the refrigerator according to the invention; and -
FIG. 17 is a perspective view of two elements of the refrigerator according to the invention, in which the air duct ofFIG. 16 is used. - Said figures show a modular refrigeration and/or freezer appliance indicated overall by 1. It comprises a
base module 2 for containing the components necessary to obtain the refrigeration effect within the appliance, and in particular a compressor, a condenser and a cooling fan with respective drive motor. These components are of conventional type and will therefore not be further described. - The
base module 2 presents a lower plate 3 from which a pair oflateral walls flat top FIG. 1 consist of guides 6 a of inverted double L shape. The particular shape of these guides gives them slight elasticity, which is very useful for improving the seal when coupled to acorresponding counter-guide 6 b. Thesecounter-guides 6 b are facingly present on both the lower and upper sides of thebranches 7 a, 7 b of a first reversibleU-shaped profile bar 7. Thecounter-guides 6 b and their arrangement are well visible inFIG. 2A ; they are substantially T-shaped, the guides 6 a sliding within them with slight interference. The connection is particularly stable in that it utilizes the said elasticity of the inverted L-shaped profile bar of the guides 6 a, the connection being perfectly sealed. - The U-shaped
profile bar 7, of cross-section symmetrical about the axis “a” ofFIG. 2A , presentsfurther guide slots 8. Theguide slots 8, also double given the symmetry of the U-shaped profile bar, are formed of first outer flanges 8 a, exceeding secondinner flanges 8 b in length. The slots act as a seat for twopanels 9, which will be described in detail hereinafter. - As is evident in
FIG. 1 , the first U-shapedprofile bar 7 is mounted from the front onto thebase module 2 by sliding the guides 6 a of thebase module 2 within thecounter-guides 6 b of the bottom of the U-shapedprofile bar 7.Identical panels 9 are slid within the upper andlower guide slots 8, before mounting the U-shapedprofile bar 7 on thebase module 2. Thepanels 9 are hence well secured and, together with the inner walls of the U-shapedprofile bar 7 and thewall 11 of a second U-shaped profile bar 10 (described hereinafter), form a compartment which when injected with insulating material, for example foamed polyurethane, forms thebottom panel 41 of the refrigeration appliance compartment. - The second U-shaped
profile bar 10, shown in its entirety inFIG. 3 (and in detail inFIG. 3A ), presents, on the upper surface of twolateral branches 10 a, b, guides which are totally similar to those presented by thebase module 2 and already described. On thethird branch 10 c, which joins the lateral branches together, there is awall 11 of height at least equal to the height of the U-shapedprofile bar 7. The second U-shapedprofile bar 10 also laterally presentsfurther seats 12 for afront plate 13 and arear plate 14 inserted head-on into saidseats 12. - In the illustrated example, the
front plate 13 is a bent enamelled metal sheet, presenting arear part 13 a, twoside parts 13 b disposed as the sides of a U, and twofront parts 13 c bent at a right angle to theside parts 13 b. Thisfront plate 13 will form the interior of the refrigeration appliance compartment. - The
rear plate 14 presents only arear part 14 a and twoside parts 14 b, which also form a U cross-section. This rear plate will form the rear and side exterior of the appliance. - In assembly, the
front plate 13 andrear plate 14 are positioned face to face and inserted head-on into theseats 12 of two secondU-shaped profile bars 10, one disposed upperly and one lowerly. Between the profile bars and plates there is thus created a U-shaped compartment which when filled with foamed insulatingmaterial 15 consolidates the structure. The combination forms an insulated U-shapedmodule 16 which is structurally very rigid. - The U-shaped
module 16 is then joined to thebase module 2, specifically to the first U-shapedprofile bar 7 already mounted on thebase module 2 and fixed to it by means of the guides 6 a. - The
top 40 of the refrigeration appliance is formed by again using a first U-shapedprofile bar 7, identical to that already described, in which apanel 9 is lowerly inserted and anupper panel 18 is upperly inserted carrying lower guides 6 a for engagement with the U-shapedprofile bar 7.FIG. 4 shows this connection in detail, and highlights thecompartment 19 which is to be filled with insulating material. In this latter, and specifically in thepanel 9 or flat module, one ormore holes 20 can be provided to allow passage of electric cables or conduits for refrigerant fluid via suitably providedchannels 21. - A refrigerator has so far been described formed from a
single U-shaped module 16 mounted on a base 2 (via an interposed bottom panel 41) and closed upperly by atop 40, as shown inFIG. 1 , however the modular refrigerator of the invention can be formed from several superposedU-shaped modules 16 joined together at flat joining and stiffening panels similar to thebottom panel 41, i.e. provided with thesame counter-guides 6 b described with reference to thebottom panel 41 and to thetop 40. In this manner, eachU-shaped module 16 can be rapidly mounted on the underlying module by using the flat joining and stiffening panels. - In the base module 2 a
seat 22 is provided in eachside wall hinge module 23. Thehinge module 23 lowerly presents adovetail profile 23 a to slidingly engage a correspondingprofile 22 a of theseat 22. The hinge module is locked in theseat 22 by an elastic tang (not visible) acting on its base. - The hinge module, which can be mounted on the right or left depending on the direction of opening of the
door 27, presents apin 24 housed inholes 25′ or 25″. The pin is housed in theholes 25′ or 25″ depending on the direction of opening of therefrigeration appliance door 27. Thepin 24 is fixed by bayonet insertion using alever 26 removably applicable to thepin 24. - When in use, the
refrigerator door 27 is hence hinged lowerly about thepin 24 and upperly by conventional inserts fixed for example to the upperU-shaped profile bar 7. - In a different embodiment shown in
FIGS. 7A , B, only a single hole is provided to house thepin 24. Thelever 26 for manipulating thepin 24 can be seen in these figures. - By joining together the aforedescribed components, an adaptable modular refrigerator is formed, the described components giving it the maximum degree of flexibility.
- A different embodiment is shown in
FIGS. 8 and 9 in which achannel 124 is connected vertically to the rear of theU-shaped module 16, and to the bottom andtop panels Cables 125 and/orpipes 126 pass through thechannel 124. The method of connecting thechannel 124 to the refrigerator cabinet is not shown in the drawings, but can be by traditional fixing systems (snap-insertion, gluing, welding). - In the variant shown in
FIGS. 10 and 11 the top panel 40 (or an intermediate flat element in the case of several superposed U-shaped modules) is provided with aninternal conduit 21 to connect the rear wall of the cabinet, provided with thechannel 124, to the cell interior. In this configuration thechannel 124 acts to convey refrigerated air from thebase module 2 to the cell and vice versa. Again in this configuration, the channel can instead act as a simple passage for the circuit pipes and electric cables. In a similar manner, in the variant shown inFIGS. 12 and 13 , preinstalledcables 122 and/orpipes 123 are run insidechannels 121 provided in the top panel 40 (or in an intermediate flat element in the case of several superposed modules) and can then be connected to the rest of the electrical/electronic circuit, and in particular to the cables and pipes (125, 126) mounted in thechannel 124 using suitable connectors (not shown). - In a different embodiment of the modular refrigeration appliance, shown in
FIG. 14 , thebars suitable discontinuities 101 in their constituent materials. By interrupting the continuity of these materials the thermal bridges between the external environment and the thermally insulated compartments are minimized. - In a different embodiment of the modular refrigeration appliance, shown in
FIG. 15 , the connection means consisting of guides 6 a and counter-guides 6 b can be replaced bycouplings 30 snap-cooperating withsuitable seats 31 provided in the first and secondU-shaped profile bar 10 and in theupper panel 18, for the rest they being entirely similar to those already described. - The
couplings 30 present a substantially flatelongate body 31 from which there symmetrically extend, both lowerly and upperly, pairs ofelastic appendices 33 provided with facilitated-engagement teeth 34 to engage saidseats 31. Once engaged in the seats, these couplings are incorporated into the foamed insulating material injected into the compartments of the framework, hence rendering the connection between the different modular parts very stable. - Instead of using a channel 124 (
FIGS. 8 and 9 ) connected to the rear side of theU-shaped module 16, it is possible to use aninternal air duct 130 as shown inFIGS. 16 and 17 . Theduct 130 conveys the refrigerated air to the cavities and drives air inside each cavity. Moreover theduct 130 is a device that integrates all the needed function inside each cavity, i.e. to convey and drive air into the cavity, to generate light inside the cavity, and to sense one or more physical entity inside the cavity (e.g. temperature, humidity, odor, etc.). Theduct 130 is provided with a main channel 130 a and with anauxiliary side channel 130 b. The main channel 130 a is connected to aseat 132 of thebottom panel 41 and to a seat (not shown) of the top panel. Theseat 132 is then connected (on its lower side) to thebase module 2 where refrigerated air is driven to such seat. - In the
auxiliary side channel 130 b there are providedwires 134 for connecting anelectronic control board 136 that communicates with thebase module 2 through a bus connection. The sensors (not shown) are connected to theelectronic control board 136 and aconnector 138 is provided in theauxiliary channel 130 b for fast connection (only one ofsuch connectors 138 is shown inFIG. 16 ). Thecontrol board 136 drives also electrical dampers orvalves 140 placed in acorresponding aperture 142 of the channel 130 a for adjusting the flow of cold air to the cavity. - Another function of the
air duct 130 is to support a fan (not shown) associated with theaperture 142, and to support lamps 144 (for instance LED, OLED, electroluminescent polymers etc.). The use of theair duct 130 allows a very easy and fast assembly of a modular refrigerator according to the invention. Moreover theduct 130 can be used in a modular architecture since it presents standard interfaces (mechanical and electrical) to one of the structural module of the refrigerator and hence can be differentiated among the product range to better follow customer needs. Moreover the duct 130 (and all components integrated therein) can be easily disassembled and replaced in case of failure or in case of upgrade. - Various embodiments have been described, however others can be conceived using the same inventive concept.
