Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlgerät mit einem wärmeisolierenden Gehäuse zur Aufnahme eines durch eine Tür zugänglichen Kälteraums und einem unterhalb des Kälteraums angeordneten Maschinenraum, welcher wenigstens zur Aufnahme eines auf einem Tragmittel ruhenden Verdichters dient und welcher von seiner der Tür gegenüberliegenden Rückseite her zugänglich ist.The invention relates to a cooling device with a heat-insulating housing for receiving a cold room accessible through a door and a machine room arranged below the cold room, which serves at least for receiving a resting on a support means compressor and which is accessible from its rear side opposite the door.

Bei Kältegeräten ist es üblich, deren Verdichter in einem an der Geräterückseite her zugänglichen Maschinenraum auf einer als Tragschiene ausgebildeten Tragmittel anzuordnen. Diese Tragschiene wird bei bekannten Geräten anhand einer Schraubverbindung lösbar an den Seitenwänden des Gerätegehäuses festgesetzt. Aus optischen Gesichtspunkten heraus, aber auch vor allem aufgrund statischer Erwägungen erfolgt die Befestigung der Tragschiene mittels der Schrauben von der Aufstellebene des Gerätes her. Dies hat zur Folge, daß die Montage der Tragschiene nur bei gekipptem Gerätegehäuse erfolgen kann, wobei einerseits die Zuordnung der Tragschiene zu ihrer Befestigungsposition und andererseits zugleich deren Befestigung sich für einen Monteur in der Fertigung als ziemlich mühsam darstellt. Diese Problematik wird noch dadurch verschärft, daß üblicherweise das Verdichteraggregat auf der Tragschiene vormontiert ist und die somit mit erheblichem Gewicht beaufschlagte vormontierte Einheit den Befestigungspositionen am Gehäuse positionsrichtig zuzuordnen ist.In refrigerators, it is customary to arrange their compressor in an accessible on the back of the machine engine room on a support rail designed as a support means. This support rail is fixed in known devices by means of a screw detachably on the side walls of the device housing. From an optical point of view, but also mainly due to static considerations, the mounting of the mounting rail by means of screws from the installation level of the device forth. This has the consequence that the mounting of the mounting rail can be done only with tilted device housing, on the one hand, the assignment of the mounting rail to its mounting position and on the other hand at the same time their attachment is quite cumbersome for a mechanic in the production. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that usually the compressor unit is preassembled on the support rail and thus acted upon with considerable weight preassembled unit is assigned to the fixing positions on the housing in the correct position.

Aus der DE 14 51 099 ist eine Tragschiene zur Abstützung eines Kältemittelverdichters bekannt, die in den Maschinenraum eines Kältegeräts einschiebbar ist. Durch das Einschieben wird die Tragschiene durch keilförmig zusammenwirkende Elemente, die einerseits an der Tragschiene und andererseits an winkelförmigen Auflageelementen der Seitenwände des Maschinenraums vorgesehen sind, gegen die Auflagefläche der Auflageelemente gedrückt.From the DE 14 51 099 is a mounting rail for supporting a refrigerant compressor known, which is inserted into the engine room of a refrigerator. By inserting the support rail is pressed by wedge-shaped cooperating elements, which are provided on the one hand on the support rail and on the other hand on angled support elements of the side walls of the machine room, against the support surface of the support elements.

Aus der US-A-2,257,374 ist ein Kühlgerät mit einem Maschinenraum bekannt, in dem eine einen Verdichter tragende Tragschiene anhand von in Art einer Nut- und Federverbindung ausgeführten Führungsschienen einschiebbar ist.From the US-A-2,257,374 a cooling device with a machine room is known in which a support rail carrying a compressor is inserted by means of running in the manner of a tongue and groove joint guide rails.

Aus der US-A-4,539,737 ist ein Kühlgerät mit einem Maschinenraum bekannt, in dem eine Montageplatte zur Installation des Kühlmittelverdichters einbringbar istFrom the US-A-4,539,737 a cooling device with a machine room is known in which a mounting plate for installing the coolant compressor can be introduced

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Durch die vertikale, lediglich aufgrund des Einschubvorgangs in den Maschinenraum bewirkte Fixierung des Tragmittels in seiner Befestigungsposition, ist die Montage des Tragmittels deutlich erleichtert, da dieses an den Gerätegehäusen in deren aufrechten Position montierbar ist und bei der Montage eine mühsame Zuordnung des Tragmittels zu den Befestigungspositionen am Gerätegehäuse entfällt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Halterung des Tragmittels ist dieses zudem deutlich rascher und somit kostengünstiger am Gerätegehäuse fixierbar, wodurch sich der Fertigungsablauf des Kältegerätes wesentlich beschleunigt.Due to the vertical, only due to the insertion process in the engine room effected fixation of the support means in its mounting position, the mounting of the support means is much easier, since this is mounted on the device housings in their upright position and during assembly a tedious assignment of the support means to the mounting positions deleted on the device housing. Due to the inventive support of the support means this is also significantly faster and thus more cost-effectively fixed to the device housing, which significantly speeds up the production process of the refrigerator.

Eine derartige vertikale Fixierung der Tragmittel in ihrem rückwärtigen Bereich läßt nicht nur ein problemloses, verkantungsfreies Einschieben des Tragmittels in dem Maschinenraum zu, sondern gewährleistet auf fertigungstechnisch einfache und somit kostengünstige Weise eine stabile Halterung des Tragmittels in diesem Bereich.Such a vertical fixation of the support means in its rear region not only allows a trouble-free, tilt-free insertion of the support means in the engine room, but ensures on production technology simple and thus cost-effective manner a stable mounting of the support means in this area.

Eine besonders einfache, rasche und mühelose Einbringung des Tragmittels in den Maschinenraum ergibt sich, wenn nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Mittel zur formschlüssigen Halterung der Tragmittel an deren Stirnseite durch eine in Einschubrichtung offen ausgeführte Aufnahme gebildet sind.A particularly simple, rapid and effortless introduction of the support means in the engine room is obtained when it is provided according to a preferred embodiment of the subject invention that the means for positive retention of the support means are formed on the front side by an open running in the insertion direction recording.

Besonders sicher sind die Tragmittel an ihrem in Einschubrichtung voraneilenden stirnseitigen Bereich gehalten, wenn nach einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die offene Aufnahme an beiden Seitenwänden des Maschinenraums vorgesehen und jeweils durch einen Zwischenraum zwischen dem Auflageelement und einem dazu vertikal beabstandeten Halteelement gebildet ist.Particularly safe, the support means are held at its forward in the direction of insertion frontal area when provided for a next preferred embodiment of the subject invention that the open receptacle provided on both side walls of the engine room and each by a space between the support element and a vertically spaced therefrom Holding element is formed.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Mittel der zur formschlüssigen Halterung der in Einschubrichtung nacheilenden Rückseite der Tragmittel durch Haltenocken gebildet sind, welche eine an den Tragmitteln vorgesehene U-förmige Abwinklung zu übergreifen vermag.According to the invention, it is provided that the means for the positive retention of the trailing in the direction of insertion back of the support means are formed by retaining cams, which is able to overlap provided on the support means U-shaped bend.

Besonders platzsparend ist eine vertikale formschlüssige Halterung des Tragmittels in dessen rückwärtigen Bereich aufgebaut, wenn nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Haltenocken durch die Auflageelemente gebildet sind.Particularly space-saving is a vertical positive retention of the support means in the rear region constructed when it is provided according to a next advantageous embodiment of the subject invention that the retaining cams are formed by the support elements.

Zudem ergibt sich durch die funktionsbedingt besonders biegesteif ausgebildeten Auflageelemente eine besonders sichere Fixierung des Tragmittels in dessen rückwärtigen Bereich auch für den Fall, daß an dem Tragmittel untypisch hohe Beschleunigungskräfte angreifen. Außerdem ist eine besonders sichere Zuführung der U-förmigen Aufnahme zu den Haltenocken gewährleistet, da die Tragmittel auf den Auflageelementen beim Einschiebevorgang aufliegen.In addition, due to the functionally particularly resistant to bending support elements results in a particularly secure fixation of the support means in the rear region even in the event that attack on the support means untypically high acceleration forces. In addition, a particularly secure supply of the U-shaped receptacle is ensured to the retaining cam, since the support means rest on the support elements during insertion process.

Besonders mühelos in seine Befestigungsposition bringbar ist das mit dem Verdichter bestückte Tragmittel, wenn nach einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Auflageelemente als durchgehend entlang der seitlichen Begrenzungswände des Maschinenraums verlaufende Tragrippen ausgebildet sind, welche sich zumindest annähernd bis in die Öffnungsebene des Maschinenraums erstrecken. Durch die sich nahe an die an der Rückseite des Kältegerätegehäuses befindlichen Öffnung des Maschinenraums erstreckenden Tragrippen ist zudem ein besonders müheloses Aufsetzen des Tragmittels auf die Tragrippen gewährleistet.Particularly easy to bring into its mounting position is equipped with the compressor support means when provided according to a next preferred embodiment of the subject invention that the support elements are formed as continuous along the lateral boundary walls of the engine room extending support ribs which at least approximately to the Open plane of the engine room. Due to the support ribs extending close to the opening of the machine room located at the rear of the refrigerator housing, a particularly effortless placement of the support means on the support ribs is also ensured.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Maschinenraum durch ein aus Kunststoffspritzguß gebildetes Formteil freigespart ist, an dessen seitlichen Begrenzungswänden die Auflageelemente und die Halteelemente mitangeformt sind.According to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the engine room is cleared by a molding formed of plastic injection molding, on the lateral boundary walls of the support elements and the holding elements are mitangeformt.

Durch die einstückige Ausführung des den Maschinenraum freisparenden Formteils ergibt sich eine besonders genaue Zuordnung zwischen den Auflageelementen und den Halteelementen.Due to the one-piece design of the machine room freisparenden molding results in a particularly accurate association between the support elements and the support members.

Entsprechend einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Auflageelemente für die Tragmittel mit vertikalem Abstand zu den der Aufstellebene des Gerätes zugewandten Gehäuserändern angeordnet sind.According to a next preferred embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the support elements are arranged for the support means with a vertical distance to the mounting plane of the device facing housing countries.

Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß die üblicherweise aus Stahlblech geformten Tragmittel keinerlei Kontakt zur Aufstellebene, wie beispielsweise dem Fuß- oder Möbelnischenboden haben, so daß die vom Verdichter während seines Betriebes ausgehenden, auf die Tragmittel übertragenen Vibrationen nicht auf den Aufstelluntergrund des Gerätes übertragen werden, wodurch der Geräuschpegel beim Betreiben des Gerätes deutlich herabgesetzt ist.This ensures that the usually formed of sheet steel support means have no contact with the erection level, such as the foot or furniture floor, so that the outgoing from the compressor during its operation, transmitted to the support means vibrations are not transmitted to the installation surface of the device, thereby the noise level when operating the device is significantly reduced.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Tragmittel an ihrer in Einschubrichtung in den Maschinenraum voraneilenden Stirnseite mit gegenüber ihrer Tragfläche vorstehenden federnden Zungen versehen sind, welche die Tragmittel gegen die Auflageelemente drücken.According to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the support means are provided on its front in the insertion direction in the engine room end face with respect to their support projecting resilient tongues which press the support means against the support elements.

Durch diese federnden Zungen ist sichergestellt, daß die Tragmittel in ihrer positionsrichtigen Einbaulage stets sicher unabhängig von irgendwelchen Gerätefertigungstoleranzen auf den Auflageelementen aufliegen.By this resilient tongues ensures that the support means in its positionally correct mounting position always rest safely regardless of any equipment manufacturing tolerances on the support elements.
