Definitions
- the invention relates to a refrigerator, such as a freezer, a refrigerator and Freezer or the like, with at least one of a door lockable freezer, which is arranged at intervals one above the other Evaporator levels is cooled and which at least with a freezer container is equipped to hold frozen goods.
- melt water are the state of the art pursues different disposal principles.
- One of the previous applications finding techniques is that of dripping from the evaporator levels Melt water with frozen food drawers removed from the freezer compartment on Collect the floor of the freezer compartment and via a condensate drain line open appliance door, one immediately in front of the access opening of the freezer compartment to set up the collecting container.
- melt water disposal is not only the separately necessary condensate drain pipe but also the disadvantage that the defrosting process only at open freezer door is feasible and, so that during the Defrosting through the swung open door requires a considerable amount of space is stressed and thus the open door particularly in confined spaces represents an important obstacle.
- the thaw disposal is difficult even more if the freezer is a built-in freezer acts, as this is not only deepened, arranged in the built-in furniture, but also can be provided at different altitudes, so that the installation a receptacle is cumbersome and difficult.
- the invention has for its object in a refrigerator according to the Preamble of claim 1 with regard to melt water removal with to improve simple constructive measures.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in that below the in Freezer compartment at the deepest evaporator level is arranged, which at least one for collecting the im area away from the melt water dripping from the evaporator levels has capable of collecting catch area and which with at least one Drain opening is equipped, which the melt water one within the Freezer compartment arranged, at least approximately that outside the collecting area the area lying in the condensate collecting area Collection container is fed.
- melt water disposal By arranging a condensate collecting tray in the area of the door remote from the door Freezer compartment in combination with the melt water in the area near the door collecting container is at least largely the whole of melt water dripping from the evaporator levels Melt water disposal provided, which not only when closed Appliance door is feasible but also additional subsequent Work like disposing of the accumulated on the floor of the freezer Melting water by wiping or the like at least as far as possible avoids.
- the disposal of the melt water according to the invention an extremely useful measure, especially for built-in freezers Elimination of the melt water is independent of different installation heights and installation depths, since no additional Tools such as cleaning cloths for removing the condensation residues have to come. Even complex condensate drain pipe constructions that possibly due to carelessness when defrosting the freezer can be damaged or leak over time cannot be used.
- the drip tray in the vicinity below that in the freezer is arranged at the lowest evaporator level.
- condensation water tray reduces the Storage of usable space not only insignificantly but also at the same time creates an at least largely comprehensive recording of the im Area of the condensate drip tray dripping from the evaporator levels Meltwater.
- the collecting tray has a collecting surface, which at least as far as possible not directly from the opening of the collection container covered area to catch the melt water.
- the one that drips from the evaporator levels is supplied particularly safely Melt water with a small space requirement for the drip tray if after a further preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention it is provided that the drip tray is U-shaped, the Collecting container facing edges of the U-profile within the container opening of the collecting container open.
- the condensate drip tray designed as a U-profile on her thighs a slope aligned with her base has and that the base with the inside of the opening of the collecting container opening is provided.
- the drain opening is formed as a condensation channel, the free end opens into the container opening of the collecting container.
- the collection container as a frozen goods container is formed and arranged below the lowest evaporator level.
- the spatial conditions in the freezer compartment are special Way adapted, and at the same time easy to clean collection container Provided.
- FIG 1 is a simplified schematic representation Household freezer 10 shown with a heat-insulating housing 11 shown, which on its back one by a step-like recess Machine room 12 formed (see Figure 2) and which one Outer lining 13, a thermal insulation layer produced by foaming 13.1 and has a plastic inner lining 14.
- This is used for Lining a accessible via a heat insulating door 15 Freezer compartment 16.
- This is from a so-called wire tube evaporator 17th cooled, the evaporator planes 18 arranged one above the other at intervals, 19 and 20, of which the deepest within the freezer compartment 16 lying evaporator tier 20 immediately above the engine room 12 forming step-like recess is arranged.
- Freezer container is provided which has a front wall 22 facing the door 15, one of these opposite rear wall 23, two side walls 24, one for Setting up the freezer container serving bottom wall 25 and a at least almost the area of the bottom wall 25 Has container opening 26.
- the frozen food container is in its correct position Location within the freezer 16 with its rear wall 23 to close to the Creation of the engine room 12 serving step-like return introduced.
- Defrost water collecting tray 27 At its horizontal section is one Defrost water collecting tray 27 which z. B. in one piece Plastic injection molding is made.
- the condensation drip tray has one to the Contour of the horizontal portion of the step-like recess Floor 28 two opposite side walls 29 and one Rear wall 30, which has the free end on which the rear wall of the Freezer compartment 16 covering portion of the inner panel 14 for the greatest possible avoidance of condensate leakage rests like a knife.
- the condensation water collecting tray 27 has on the Collection container 21 side facing one with respect to the height of the rear wall raised front wall 31, which is approximately in the middle of its width Drain opening in the form of a condensation channel 32, the free Channel end 33 opens into the container opening 26.
- the Defrost water collecting tray 27 has one through the bottom 28 thereof Side walls 29, bordered on the rear wall 30 and the front wall 31 thereof Collection space 34, the slope of which is aligned with the condensation channel 32, the raised front wall 31 as a storage wall for the Defrosting the evaporator levels 18 to 20 accruing melt water serves which is fed along the front wall 31 of the condensate channel 32.
- FIG. 3 shows a largely similar design to the freezer 10 Household freezer 40, with a heat-insulating housing 41 on its Back of a step-like recess to form a machine room 42 is provided.
- the heat-insulating housing 41 has one Outer panel 43, an inner panel 44 and one on its Engine room 42 opposite front pivotally mounted Door 45 through which a lined by the inner panel 44 Freezer compartment 46 is accessible.
- Evaporator level 48 is e.g. made in one piece from plastic injection molding Collection container 51 provided. This is with a door-side front wall 52, one opposite rear wall 53, two each other opposite side walls 54 and a bottom wall 55 equipped. Compared to the bottom wall 55, the collecting container 51 has an im essentially the container opening 56 having the surface of the bottom wall 55 on.
