Drops falling from the tap are collected in a container beneath the tap point. Melt water generated during the defrosting of the evaporation device (12), is collected and fed to the collection container (25). A collection channel (14) beneath the evaporation device collects the melt water, which is fed from the channel to the collection container. The end of the evaporation device protrudes into the collection channel.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlgerät mit einem Aggregateraum und einem davon wärmeisolierend getrennt angeordneten, von einem von Zeit zu Zeit einem Abtauvorgang unterworfenen Verdampfer gekühlten Kühlraum, welcher zum Kühlen von in faßartigen Behältern gelagerten Getränken dient, welche über eine Zapfstelle aus dem Behältnis entnehmbar sind, wobei die beim Zapfvorgang anfallenden Getränkeverluste von einem unterhalb der Zapfstelle angeordneten Auffangbehältnis aufgefangen sind.The invention relates to a cooling device with an aggregate space and a heat-insulating separator arranged from it, cooled from time to time by a defrosting evaporator, which serves to cool beverages stored in barrel-like containers, which can be removed from the container via a tap, whereby the beverage losses occurring during the dispensing process are absorbed by a collecting container arranged below the dispensing point.

Bei dem in der prioritätsbegründenden Anmeldung beschriebenen Kältegerät wird das während eines Abtauvorganges seines Verdampfers anfallende Schmelzwasser einer Auffangschale im Aggregateraum zugeführt.In the refrigeration device described in the priority-based application, the melt water that occurs during the defrosting of its evaporator is fed to a drip tray in the unit room.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, aufbauend auf diesem Stand der Technik, die Entsorgung des beim Abtauvorgang des Verdampfers anfallende Schmelzwasser mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen zu vereinfachen und zugleich zu verbessern.The invention has for its object, based on this prior art, to simplify and at the same time improve the disposal of the melt water resulting from the defrosting of the evaporator using simple design measures.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß das beim Abtauvorgang des Verdampfers anfallende Schmelzwasser aufgefangen und dem Auffangbehältnis zugeleitet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the melt water obtained during the defrosting of the evaporator is collected and fed to the collecting container.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung kann ein zusätzliches zum Auffangen des Schmelzwasser dienendes, im Aggregateraum anzuordnendes Auffangbehältnis entfallen. Darüber hinaus können Sicherheitsmaßnahmen an im Aggregateraum angeordneten Geräten, wie z.B. einem Ventilator zur Vermeidung von elektrischen Kurzschlüssen, hervorgerufen durch ein Austreten des Schmelzwassers aus dem im Aggregateraum angeordneten Auffangbehältnis unterbleiben. Ferner ist das Aufnahmevolumen des nach der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung vorgesehenen Auffangbehältnisses nicht durch im Aggregateraum angeordnete kältetechnischen Gerate wie Verflüssiger, Verdichter und dergleichen eingeschränkt, sondern auf einfache Weise dem im "worst case"-Fall anfallenden Schmelzwasserumfang anpaßbar. Außerdem ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung des Auffangbehältnisses dessen rasche und gründliche Reinigung.The solution according to the invention makes it possible to dispense with an additional collecting container which is used to collect the melt water and is to be arranged in the unit space. In addition, safety measures on devices arranged in the unit space, such as a fan to avoid electrical short circuits, caused by the melt water escaping from the collecting container arranged in the unit space, can be omitted. Furthermore, the receiving volume of the solution according to the invention The intended receptacle is not restricted by refrigeration devices such as condensers, compressors and the like arranged in the unit space, but can be adapted in a simple manner to the extent of melt water that arises in the "worst case" case. In addition, the arrangement of the collecting container according to the invention enables it to be cleaned quickly and thoroughly.

Besonders gezielt und umfassend wird das beim Abtauvorgang des Verdampfers anfallende Schmelzwasser dem Auffangbehältnis zugeführt wenn nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß zum Auffangen des Schmelzwassers eine unterhalb des Verdampfers angeordnete Auffangrinne dient, welche das Schmelzwasser dem Auffangbehältnis zuführt.The melt water accumulating during the defrosting of the evaporator is fed to the collecting container in a particularly targeted and comprehensive manner if, according to an advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that a collecting channel arranged below the evaporator serves to catch the melt water and feeds the melt water to the collecting container.

Besonders sicher ohne zusätzliche Maßnahmen wird das Schmelzwasser vom Verdampfer in die Auffangrinne geleitet, wenn nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß in die Auffangrinne das ihr zugewandte Ende des platinenartig ausgebildeten Verdampfers ragt.The melt water is conducted from the evaporator into the collecting trough particularly safely without additional measures if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the end of the evaporator formed like a plate protrudes into the collecting trough.

Fertigungstechnisch besonders kostengünstig und dennoch mit hoher Fertigungsgenauigkeit herstellbar ist die Auffangrinne, wenn entsprechend einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Auffangrinne als Vertiefung am Rand des Kühlraumbodens ausgebildet und mit etwa zwei gleich langen Wasserführungsabschnitten verbunden ist, welche in das Auffangbehältnis münden.The collecting gutter is particularly inexpensive in terms of production technology, yet can be manufactured with high manufacturing accuracy, if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the collecting gutter is formed as a depression at the edge of the refrigerator compartment floor and is connected to approximately two water guide sections of equal length which enter the collecting container flow out.

Besonders einfach zu reinigen und gegebenenfalls auszutauschen ist ein Auffangbehältnis, wenn gemaß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß das Auffangbehältnis lösbar am Gehäuse des Kühlgerätes gehalten ist.A collecting container is particularly easy to clean and, if necessary, to replace if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the collecting container is detachably held on the housing of the cooling device.

Besonders kostengünstig und unauffällig ist eine Halterung des Auffangbehältnisses gestaltet, wenn nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß zur lösbaren Halterung des Auffangbehältnisses zwei zapfenartige Vorsprünge dienen, welche das Auffangbehältnis tragen und welche in Aufnahmen kraftschlüssig festgesetzt sind.A holder of the collecting container is particularly inexpensive and inconspicuous if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that two peg-like projections serve to releasably hold the collecting container, which carry the collecting container and which are non-positively fixed in receptacles.

Entsprechend einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Aufnahmen am Gehäuse des Kühlgerätes vorgesehen und taschenähnlich ausgebildet sind und daß die zapfenartigen Vorsprünge am Auffangbehältnis angeordnet und in die Aufnahmen kraftschlüssig einfügbar sind.According to a next preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the receptacles are provided on the housing of the cooling device and are pocket-like are formed and that the pin-like projections are arranged on the receptacle and can be non-positively inserted into the receptacles.

Durch die taschenähnliche Ausbildung der Aufnahmen wird für diese auch bei Anwendung von dünnwandigen, entsprechend leicht verformbaren Material eine ausreichende Formsteifigkeit erzielt. Außerdem ist durch das kraftschlüssige Zusammenwirken der zapfenartigen Vorsprünge mit den Aufnahmen sichergestellt, daß das Auffangbehältnis im Bedarfsfall mit geringen Zeitaufwand demontierbar ist.Due to the pocket-like design of the receptacles, sufficient dimensional rigidity is achieved for them even when using thin-walled, correspondingly easily deformable material. In addition, the frictional interaction of the pin-like projections with the receptacles ensures that the receptacle can be disassembled in a short time if necessary.

Besonders einfach zu vollziehen ist der Fügevorgang zwischen den zapfenartigen Vorsprüngen und den taschenähnlichen Aufnahmen, wenn nach einer letzten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Einfügerichtung der zapfenartigen Vorsprünge in die taschenähnlichen Aufnahmen weitestgehend horizontal verläuft.The joining process between the peg-like projections and the pocket-like receptacles is particularly easy to carry out if, according to a last preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the direction of insertion of the peg-like projections into the pocket-like receptacles runs largely horizontally.

Gemäß Fig.1 ist ein zum Kühlen von in faßartigen Behältnissen gelagerten Getränken geeignetes Kühlgerät 10 gezeigt, dessen zum Einbringen der faßartigen Behältnisse dienender Kühlraum 11 von einem U-förmig abgewinkelten, platinenartigen Verdampfer 12 gekühlt wird und von einem wärmeisolierenden ausgebildeten Gehäuse umgeben ist, welches aus einem nicht dargestellten kappenähnlich über den Verdampfer 12 stülpbaren Gehäuseoberteil sowie einem wärmeisolierend ausgebildeten Gehäuseboden 13 besteht. Dieser ist im Nahbereich seines Randes mit einer der Querschnitts-Kontur des Verdampfers 12 folgender und im wesentlichen dessen abgewickelter Länge entsprechender und mit einem durchgehenden Rinnenbett ausgestatteten Wasserauffangrinne 14 versehen, in welche das ihr zugewandte Ende des Verdampfers 12 zur besseren Überleitung des bei seinem Abtauvorgang anfallenden Schmelzwassers eintaucht. Im Bereich der freien Enden der Schenkel des Verdampfers 12 schließt sich an die Wasserfangrinne 14, mit dieser ein durchgehendes Rinnenbett bildend, jeweils ein Wasserführungsabschnitt 15 an, welche in ihrer Länge etwa gleich lang bemessen sind und welche in einer am Gehäuseboden 13 eingebrachten Ausfließöffnung 16 münden. Dies Abfließöffnung 16 ist mit einem Wasserführungsstutzen 17 strömungstechnisch verbunden, über welchem das beim Abtauvorgang des Verdampfers 13 anfallende Schmelzwasser aus dem Kühlraum 11 zu fließen vermag.According to FIG. 1, a cooling device 10 is shown suitable for cooling beverages stored in barrel-like containers, the cooling space 11 used for introducing the barrel-like containers is cooled by a U-shaped, plate-like evaporator 12 and is surrounded by a heat-insulating housing, which from a not shown cap-like housing upper part which can be put over the evaporator 12 and a heat-insulating housing base 13. This is provided in the vicinity of its edge with a water-collecting channel 14 which follows the cross-sectional contour of the evaporator 12 and essentially corresponds to its developed length and is provided with a continuous channel bed, into which the end of the evaporator 12 which faces it, for better transfer of that which occurs during its defrosting process Melt water immersed. In the area of the free ends of the legs of the evaporator 12, the water gutter 14, with which it forms a continuous channel bed, is adjoined by a water guide section 15, which are approximately the same length in length and which open into an outlet opening 16 made in the housing base 13 . This discharge opening 16 is connected in terms of flow technology to a water guide stub 17, via which the melt water which arises during the defrosting process of the evaporator 13 can flow out of the cooling chamber 11.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig.2 ersichtlich ist, ist unterhalb dem Kühlraum 11 ein von diesem durch den Gehäuseboden 13 wärmeisolierend getrennt angeordneter Aggregateraum 18 vorgesehen welcher zur Aufnahme von nicht näher bezeichneten kältetechnischen Aggregaten wie Verflüssiger, Verdichter und dergleichen dient und welcher von einem aus Blech gefertigten Gehausemantel 19 umgeben ist. Dieser weist auf seiner dem Wasserführungsstutzen 17 zugewandten Mantelseite taschenähnlich ausgebildete Aufnahmen 20 auf, welche durch in diese Mantelseite eingebrachte, höhengleich im Abstand zueinander angebrachte quadratische Durchbrüche 21 und einem aggregateraumseitig an diesem Gehäusemantel 19 festgesetzten Abdeckprofil 22 gebildet sind, welche im wesentlichen einen U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, below the cooling space 11 there is provided an aggregate space 18, which is separated from it by the housing base 13 in a heat-insulating manner and which serves to hold refrigeration units, such as condensers, compressors and the like, which are not described in more detail, and which is made of sheet metal Housing jacket 19 is surrounded. This has on its jacket side facing the water guide sleeve 17 pocket-like receptacles 20, which are formed by inserted into this jacket side, equally spaced square openings 21 and a unit profile on the housing jacket 19 fixed cover profile 22, which are essentially a U-shaped Has cross section.

In die taschenähnlichen Aufnahmen 20 sind über die Durchbrüche 21 einbringbare, zu einem schalenähnlichen Auffangbehältnis 25 gehörende, im vorliegenden Fall als Vierkantzapfen ausgebildete zapfenartige Vorsprünge 26 kraftschlüssig einfügbar, deren zur Festsetzung des Auffangbehältnisses 25 am Gehäusemantel 19 dienender Kraftschluß durch Zusammenwirken der Vorsprünge 2 mit den Wandungen der Aufnahmen 20 bewirkt ist. In etwa mittig zwischen den zapfenartigen Vorsprüngen 26, ist am Öffnungsrand des Auffangbehältnisses 25 eine Zuflußöffnung 27 eingeformt, welche bei ordnungsgemäß am Gehäusemantel 19 festgesetztem Auffangbehältnis unmittelbar an den Wasserführungsstutzen 17 anschließt und diesen mit dem schalenförmig geformten Flüssigkeitssammelraum 28 des Auffangbehältnisses 25 strömungstechnisch verbindet. Der Sammelraum 28 ist hinsichtlich seines Flüssigkeitsaufnahmevolumens so ausgelegt, daß neben dem während eines Abtauvorgangs des Verdampfers 12 anfallenden Schmelzwassers auch die während der Zapfvorgänge üblicherweise auftretenden Tropfverluste des gezapften Getränks Platz finden. Sollte es dennoch vorkommen, daß das Aufnahmevolumen des Sammelraums 28 nicht ausreicht, so können zum Entleeren des Auffangbehältnisses 25 die zapfenartigen Vorsprünge 26 mit geringem Kraftaufwand entgegen der in den Figuren angedeuteten Pfeilrichtung aus den die Abstützung und Halterung des Auffangbehältnisses bewirkenden Aufnahmen 20 herausgezogen werden.In the pocket-like receptacles 20 insertable via the openings 21, belonging to a shell-like collecting container 25, in the present case designed as a square pin-like projections 26, the non-positive connection serving to fix the collecting container 25 on the housing jacket 19 by interaction of the projections the recordings 20 is effected. Approximately midway between the peg-like projections 26, an inflow opening 27 is formed at the opening edge of the collecting container 25, which, when the collecting container is properly fixed to the housing jacket 19, directly connects to the water guide connector 17 and connects this fluidically with the bowl-shaped liquid collecting space 28 of the collecting container 25. Of the Collecting space 28 is designed with regard to its liquid absorption volume in such a way that in addition to the melt water which occurs during a defrosting process of the evaporator 12, there is also space for the drip losses of the drawn drink which usually occur during the dispensing processes. Should it nevertheless occur that the receiving volume of the collecting space 28 is not sufficient, the peg-like projections 26 can be pulled out with little effort against the direction of the arrow indicated in the figures from the receptacles 20 which support and hold the receptacle 20 in order to empty the collecting container 25.
