Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlgerät, insb. einen Haushalts-Kühlschrank od.dgl., mit einem Verdampfer und einem in räumlichem Abstand dazu angeordneten Temperaturregler, sowie einem den Abstand zum Verdampfer überbrückenden Fühlerrohr, dessen freie Länge von einem Schutzrohr umhüllt ist. Ein solches Kühlgerät ist aus der DE-A-1 401 544 bekannt.The invention relates to a cooling device, in particular a household refrigerator or the like, with an evaporator and a temperature controller arranged at a spatial distance from it, and with a sensor tube bridging the distance to the evaporator, the free length of which is enveloped by a protective tube. Such a cooling device is known from DE-A-1 401 544.

Bei Kühlgeräten der genannten Art ist es üblich, das den räumlichen Abstand zwischen dem Verdampfer und dem Temperaturregler überbrückende Fühlerrohr entweder völlig frei entlang den Wänden im Innern des Gerätegehäuses oder wenigstens abschnittsweise in einem Führungsrohr zu verlegen, das in den wärmeisolierten Wänden des Gerätegehäuses verläuft. Aus Gründen der elektrischen Berührungssicherheit ist es dabei erforderlich, den freien Abschnitt des Fühlerrohres mit einem elektrisch isolierenden Schutzrohr zu umhüllen, das um das Verlegen des Fühlerrohres nicht zu behindern, schlauchartig aus flexiblem Werkstoff ausgeführt ist. Hierbei muß sichergestellt werden, daß sich die Enden des isolierenden Schutzrohres nicht in axialer Richtung verschieben lassen, da andernfalls die Gefahr besteht, daß Stellen des Fühlerrohres unbeabsichtigt freigelegt werden wodurch die geforderte Berührungssicherheit nicht mehr gegeben ist. Zum sicheren Festlegen des Mantels sind daher Klemmen, Schellen od.dgl. erforderlich, deren Anbringung schwierig und kostenaufwendig ist.In cooling devices of the type mentioned, it is customary to lay the sensor tube bridging the spatial distance between the evaporator and the temperature controller either completely freely along the walls inside the device housing or at least in sections in a guide tube which runs in the heat-insulated walls of the device housing. For reasons of electrical contact safety, it is necessary to cover the free section of the sensor tube with an electrically insulating protective tube, which is made of flexible material in a hose-like manner in order not to hinder the laying of the sensor tube. It must be ensured here that the ends of the insulating protective tube cannot be moved in the axial direction, since otherwise there is a risk that locations on the sensor tube are unintentionally exposed, as a result of which the required safety against contact is no longer provided. To the Secure fixing of the jacket are therefore clamps, clamps or the like. required, the attachment of which is difficult and costly.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei Kühlgeräten der eingangs näher bezeichneten Art das zur elektrischen Isolierung des Fühlerrohres erforderliche Schutzrohr sicher festzulegen, so daß die für die betreffende elektrische Schutzklasse des Gerätes vorgeschriebene Berührungssicherheit gewährleistet ist.The invention is therefore based on the object in cooling devices of the type described in more detail to determine the protective tube required for the electrical insulation of the sensor tube, so that the contact safety prescribed for the relevant electrical protection class of the device is ensured.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der vorliegenden Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß das Schutzrohr nahe seinen Enden mit einem axiale Kräfte aufnehmenden Anschlag in Form einer seinen äußeren Durchmesser verändernden Verformung versehen ist.This object is achieved according to the present invention in that the protective tube is provided near its ends with an axial force-absorbing stop in the form of a deformation changing its outer diameter.

Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung des Schutzrohres gelingt es, dessen Enden auf einfache Weise sicher festzulegen und gegen unbeabsichtigtes axiales Verschieben zu sichern, so daß dadurch ein unbeabsichtigtes Freilegen des Fühlerrohres vermieden wird.With the help of the design of the protective tube according to the invention, the ends can be securely fixed in a simple manner and secured against unintentional axial displacement, so that inadvertent exposure of the sensor tube is avoided.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Anschlag als ein durch Stauchung entstandener, ringförmiger Wulst des Schutzrohres ausgebildet ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the stop is designed as an annular bulge of the protective tube which is produced by compression.

Als besonders günstig hat sich nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung erwiesen, daß der Verdampfer und der Temperaturregler mit Mitteln zum formschlüssigen Einspannen der Anschläge des Schutzrohres versehen sind.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the subject of the invention, it has proven particularly favorable that the evaporator and the temperature regulator are provided with means for positively clamping the stops of the protective tube.

Die Erfindung ist in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung anhand eines in der beigefügten Zeichnung vereinfacht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles im Zusammenhang mit einem Haushalts-Kühlschrank erläutert. Es zeigen:

on a larger scale the temperature controller located in the controller-lamp housing with the sensor tube surrounded by a protective tube as an installation unit.

Ein in der Fig. 1 mit 10 bezeichneter Haushalts-Kühlschrank weist ein mit einer Tür 11 verschließbares Gehäuse 12 auf, in dessen rechten oberen Eckbereich hinter einer Verdampfertür 13 ein Verdampfer 14 in Form eines Kastenverdampfers 13 angeordnet ist. Das in der üblichen Weise mit Tragrosten 15 zum Ablegen des Kühlgutes und einer Gemüseschale 16 ausgestattete Gehäuse 12 weist einen mit einem Einstellknopf 17 einstellbaren Temperaturregler 18 auf, der in einem unterhalb des Verdampfers 14 an der Seitenwand des Gehäuses 12 sitzenden Regler-Leuchten-Gehäuse 19 angeordnet ist. Der räumliche Abstand zwischen dem Temperaturregler 18 und dem Verdampfer 14 ist mit einem Fühlerrohr 20 überbrückt, welches an der Innenwand des Gehäuses 12 anliegt und über seine freie Länge von einem Schutzrohr 21 umhüllt ist. Dabei ist der unmittelbar hinter dem Regler-Leuchten-Gehäuse 19 austretende Abschnitt des Fühlerrohres in einer in der Seitenwand des Gehäuses 12 angeordneten Nut 22 eingelegt, in welcher es von in Abständen zueinander angeordneten Klemmstellen 23 sicher gehalten wird. Der mittlere Abschnitt des Fühlerrohres 20 ist in der Kehle zwischen der Seiten- und Rückwand des Gehäuses 12 nach oben geführt und dort in einer zwischen vorspringenden Führungsleisten 24 für die Tragroste 15 und der Rückwand des Gehäuses 12 gebildeten Nut 25 eingeklemmt. Der Endabschnitt des von dem Schutzrohr 21 umhüllten Fühlerrohres 20 ist dann in einem Bogen von der Rückwand des Gehäuses 12 an die Unterseite des Verdampfers 14 geführt, der zu diesem Zwecke an der Unterseite mit einem Blindkanal 27 zum Einstecken seines Endes versehen ist. Auf diese Weise wird ein guter Wärmeübergang vom Verdampfer 14 auf den Endabschnitt des Fühlerrohres 20 gewährleistet.A household refrigerator designated 10 in FIG. 1 has a housing 12 which can be closed with a door 11, in the upper right corner region of which an evaporator 14 in the form of a box evaporator 13 is arranged behind an evaporator door 13. The housing 12, which is equipped in the usual way with support grids 15 for storing the refrigerated goods and a vegetable bowl 16, has a temperature regulator 18 which can be adjusted with an adjusting knob 17 and which is located in a below the evaporator 14 on the Side wall of the housing 12 seated regulator-lamp housing 19 is arranged. The spatial distance between the temperature controller 18 and the evaporator 14 is bridged by a sensor tube 20 which bears against the inner wall of the housing 12 and is covered by a protective tube 21 over its free length. The section of the sensor tube emerging directly behind the regulator / lamp housing 19 is inserted in a groove 22 arranged in the side wall of the housing 12, in which it is held securely by clamping points 23 arranged at intervals from one another. The middle section of the sensor tube 20 is guided upwards in the throat between the side and rear walls of the housing 12 and is clamped there in a groove 25 formed between projecting guide strips 24 for the support gratings 15 and the rear wall of the housing 12. The end section of the sensor tube 20 enveloped by the protective tube 21 is then guided in an arc from the rear wall of the housing 12 to the underside of the evaporator 14, which for this purpose is provided on the underside with a blind channel 27 for inserting its end. In this way, good heat transfer from the evaporator 14 to the end section of the sensor tube 20 is ensured.

Das die freie Länge des Fühlerrohres 20 einhüllende Schutzrohr 21 ist, wie insb. aus der Fig. 3 hervorgeht, nahe seinen Enden mit je einem axiale Kräfte aufnehmenden Anschlag 28 versehen, der in Form einer den äußeren Durchmesser des Schutzrohres verändernden Verformung ausgebildet ist. Diese Anschläge sind in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als durch Stauchung des Schutzrohres entstandene ringförmige Wülste ausgebildet, die an entsprechenden Stellen einerseits am Boden des Verdampfers 14 und andererseits im Regler-Leuchten-Gehäuse 19 formschlüssig eingespannt sind. Dies kann durch Einklemmen zwischen zwei Gehäuseteilen des Regler-Leuchten-Gehäuses oder auch durch eine entsprechende Deformation des Endes des Blindkanals 27 am Verdampfer 14 geschehen.The protective tube 21 enveloping the free length of the sensor tube 20, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, is provided near its ends with a stop 28 which absorbs axial forces and which is designed in the form of a deformation which changes the outer diameter of the protective tube. In the exemplary embodiment shown, these stops are designed as ring-shaped beads formed by compression of the protective tube, which on the one hand at corresponding points on the bottom of the evaporator 14 and on the other hand are positively clamped in the regulator-lamp housing 19. This can be done by clamping between two housing parts of the controller-lamp housing or by a corresponding deformation of the end of the blind channel 27 on the evaporator 14.

Wie insb. aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht ist das Schutzrohr 21 an dem dem Verdampfer zugeordneten freien Ende des Fühlerrohres 21 durch Abklemmen od.dgl. wasserdicht verschlossen, um das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit - wie beispielweise Tauwasser - zu verhindern und somit eine einwandfreie elektrische Berührungssicherheit zu gewährleisten.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the protective tube 21 is connected to the free end of the sensor tube 21 assigned to the evaporator by clamping or the like. sealed watertight to prevent the ingress of moisture - such as condensation - and thus to ensure perfect electrical contact safety.
