Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlgerät mit einem wärmeisolierenden Gehäuse und einem darin angeordneten Kühlraum. Dieser Kühlraum wird durch eine abtaubare Verdampferplatte gekühlt.The invention relates to a cooling device with a heat-insulating housing and a cold room arranged therein. This cold room is covered by a defrostable evaporator plate cooled.
Der Kühlraum umfasst eine Ablaufrinne für das Tauwasser, die in einen kleinen Verdampfungsbehälter führt, der sich im unteren Teil des Kühlgerätes hinter selbigem befindet.The cold room includes a drainage channel for the defrost water, which is divided into a small one Evaporation container leads, which is in the lower part of the cooling unit behind the same is located.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, den Energieverbrauch zu verbessern, indem die Wände des Kühlgerätes erhöht werden. Dies wird erreicht, indem die Abflaufrinne in einem unteren Bereich des Zusammenflusses zwischen der Rückwand und des Bodens des Kühlraums angeordnet wird, wobei sie sich auch auf dem Boden im Nahbereich der Rückenwand befinden kann.The object of the invention is to improve energy consumption, by raising the walls of the refrigerator. This is achieved by the Drainage channel in a lower area of the confluence between the Rear wall and the bottom of the cold room is arranged, it also can be on the floor near the back wall.
Bei Kühlgeräten, die mit einer Cold-Wall ausgestattet sind, ist der Verdampfer im Kühlraum verborgen, wobei er sich hinter der Rückwand des Kühlraums befindet.In the case of cooling devices that are equipped with a cold wall, the evaporator is in the Cold room hidden, being behind the back wall of the cold room located.
In der Wand ist im Innenteil eine gerillte Stufe mit zwei geneigten Ebenen vorgesehen, die zu einem unteren mittigen Bereich hin konvergieren, wo sich eine Abflussrinne zur Aufnahme des Abtauwassers befindet, das bis nach außen bis zu einem kleinen Verdampfungsbehälter zirkuliert.Inside the wall is a grooved step with two inclined levels provided that converge toward a lower central area where a drainage channel is located to hold the defrost water, which extends outwards circulated to a small evaporation tank.
Zur Verbesserung des Energieverbrauchs wird bei diesen Kühlgeräten die Dicke der Wände erhöht, und dies führt dazu, dass die Breite des Verdampferblechs reduziert wird. In order to improve the energy consumption, the thickness of these cooling devices of the walls increases and this causes the width of the evaporator sheet is reduced.
In einigen Fällen wird, um die Oberfläche des Blechs beizubehalten, die Höhe des Blechs erhöht, und das führt dazu, dass die Unterseite des Blechs sehr nahe bei der Abfließöffnung liegt, wodurch sich die Gefahr ergibt, dass sich die Abflussleitung, wenn sie gefriert, verstopft.In some cases, to maintain the surface of the sheet, the height becomes of the sheet increases, and that causes the bottom of the sheet to get very close is at the drain opening, which creates the risk that the Drain line if it freezes, clogs.
In jedem Fall verwenden alle Hersteller eine gerillte Stufe oder eine enge Schale, die mit der Abflussleitung oder Abflussrille verbunden ist.In any case, all manufacturers use a grooved step or a narrow shell, which is connected to the drain line or drain groove.
Das Kühlgerät schließt ein wärmeisolierendes Gehäuse und einen Kühlraum ein, der durch das wärmeisolierende Gehäuse begrenzt wird.The cooling device includes a heat-insulating housing and a cooling space, which is limited by the heat-insulating housing.
Der Kühlraum wird durch eine abtaubare Verdampferplatte gekühlt, die sich in der Rückwand des Kühlraums befindet.The refrigerator compartment is cooled by a defrostable evaporator plate, which is located in the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Das Kühlgerät ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Boden des Kühlraums die Funktion einer Schale mittels einer Bauform erfüllt, welche geeignet ist, um sicherzustellen, dass das Tauwasser nur über den unteren Rückteil des Kühlraums läuft.The refrigerator is characterized in that the bottom of the refrigerator compartment Function of a shell fulfilled by a design that is suitable to ensure that the defrost water only over the lower back of the Cold room is running.
Deshalb wird die Abflussrinne in einem Bereich des Bodens im Nahbereich zur hinteren Wand des Kühlraums angeordnet, so dass die Schale oder die gerillte Stufe oder andere geeignete Mittel in Übereinstimmung mit der Abflussrinne positioniert werden, um das durch das Abtauen entstandene Tauwasser zur Abflussrinne zu leiten. Unter diesen Mitteln sind einfach zwei leicht geneigte Ebenen zu nennen, die in einem gemeinsamen Bereich konvergieren, wo sich die Abflussrinne befindet.Therefore, the drainage channel in a region of the floor in the vicinity rear wall of the refrigerator compartment arranged so that the shell or the grooved Step or other suitable means in accordance with the trough be positioned to defrost the defrost water To lead trough. Among these means are simply two slightly inclined ones To name levels that converge in a common area where the trough is located.
Durch die neue Position der Abflussrinne ergeben sich folgende Vorteile:
- Die Verdampferplatte kann sich in einem größeren Ausmaß nach unten erstrecken.
- Das Erscheinungsbild wird verbessert, wodurch mehr Reinlichkeit vermittelt wird.
- Das Brutto- und das Nutzvolumen des Kühlraums werden erhöht.
- Die Thermoformung und Schäumung der Mulde können sich einfacher gestalten.
- The evaporator plate can extend downward to a greater extent.
- The appearance is improved, which gives more cleanliness.
- The gross and usable volume of the cold room are increased.
- The thermoforming and foaming of the trough can be made easier.
Das Kühlgerät ist des Weiteren dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Abflussrinne oder die Tauwasserablaufrinne vollständig in die Bodenwandung des entsprechenden Kühlraums eingreifen.The cooling device is further characterized in that the trough or the condensation drainage channel completely into the bottom wall of the intervene in the appropriate cold room.
Außerdem ist das Kühlgerät dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Abflussrinne in die Bodenwandung einstückig eingeformt ist.In addition, the cooling device is characterized in that the trough in the bottom wall is molded in one piece.
Das Kühlgerät ist des Weiteren dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Tauwasserablaufrinne als spanlose Ausformung einer den Kühlraum auskleidenden Innenverkleidung ausgebildet ist.The cooling device is further characterized in that the Defrost water drainage channel as a non-cutting shape of the cold room lining inner lining is formed.
Das Kühlgerät ist auch dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Verdampfer mit seinem im Einbauzustand tieferliegenden Ende zumindest bis in den Nahbereich der Tauwasserablaufrinne heranreicht.The cooling unit is also characterized in that the evaporator with its lower end in the installed state at least up to the close range the condensate drainage channel reaches.
Schließlich ist das Kühlgerät auch dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Verdampfer als Cold-Wall-Verdampfer ausgebildet ist.Finally, the cooling device is also characterized in that the Evaporator is designed as a cold wall evaporator.
