Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a table top refrigerator with a housing enclosing an interior, in which the interior is subdivided into at least one freezer compartment and one normal refrigerator compartment.
  • the freezer compartment forms an upper section of the interior, and the bottom of the freezer compartment is also the ceiling of the normal refrigerator compartment.
  • the normal refrigerator compartment is partially cooled by heat exchange with the freezer compartment, taking advantage of the fact that air that has cooled down on the ceiling of the normal refrigerator compartment flows downwards in the normal refrigerator compartment, thus ensuring an even temperature distribution in it.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a table-top cooling device in which, despite a low overall height, convenient access to the freezer compartment is possible.
  • the object is achieved in that the freezer compartment is arranged below the normal refrigerator compartment and is equipped with an extendable frozen goods carrier.
  • the combination of the positioning of the freezer compartment underneath the normal refrigerator compartment and the provision of a pull-out freezer rack significantly improve the accessibility of the freezer compartment, because in this position it is sufficient that the pull-out can be pulled out by a maximum depth corresponding to free access to it at the top.
  • a user kneeling in front of the refrigerator no longer has to look horizontally, but can look downwards at an angle, as is natural in the posture in front of the refrigerator.
  • the compressor of the cooling device is preferably housed in an upper area of the same.
  • a stop which limits the pull-out movement of the refrigerated goods carrier, can be formed by a projection on the door of the refrigerator, in particular by a projection on the door. molded-on spar to which a door storage compartment can be attached, or by means of a storage compartment.
  • freezer compartment is arranged in the lower region of the interior of the refrigerator, unlike in the conventional arrangement, heat exchange between the freezer compartment and the normal refrigerator compartment is undesirable since it would lead to temperature stratification in the normal refrigerator compartment.
  • the freezer compartment is therefore effectively thermally insulated both from the surroundings of the refrigerator and from the normal refrigerator compartment, preferably by a hollow wall arranged between the freezer compartment and the normal refrigerator compartment and filled with heat-insulating material, by designing the flap as a hollow body filled with heat-insulating material and last but not least in that the wall thickness of the housing in the vicinity of the freezer compartment is greater than in the vicinity of the normal refrigerator compartment.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective sectional view of a refrigerator according to the invention with the door open, with the flap of the freezer compartment closed.
  • FIG. 3A shows a horizontal section through the table cooling device shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 3B shows a section through the table cooling device of FIG. 2 at the same height as in FIG. 3A;
  • Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a flap of the freezer compartment according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 5 is a partial section through a refrigerator with the freezer door
  • Fig. 1 and a frozen food carrier specially adapted to this flap.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic section through a table cooling device 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the housing 2 of the device 1 is constructed in a manner known per se from an outer wall 3, an inner container 4 which is deep-drawn from a plastic plate and insulating foam material 5 which fills an intermediate space between the outer wall 3 and the inner container 4.
  • a compressor 7 is accommodated, which together with evaporators, a heat exchanger etc., not shown, forms the refrigerator of the table cooling device 1.
  • the interior 8 of the table cooling device 1 is divided into a normal cooling compartment 9 and a freezer compartment 10.
  • the normal cooling compartment 9 takes up the top three quarters of the interior and is divided by several shelves 11. In the bottom of the compartments divided in this way there is a pull-out box 12 for vegetables or the like.
  • the freezer compartment 10 is divided up towards the normal refrigerator compartment 9 by a horizontal hollow wall 13 which, like the side walls of the housing 2, is filled with foam material 5.
  • This hollow wall 13 can be produced in one piece with the inner container 4 in the same deep-drawing process in which it was formed; it can also be retrofitted as an intermediate wall into the inner container 4 originally formed with a continuous cavity.
  • a central section 19 is formed, the thickness of which is greater than the peripheral areas surrounding it.
  • the edge areas lie against the step 14, against the front edge of the wall 13 and against corresponding shoulder surfaces of the side walls, while the central section 19 projects into the interior of the freezer compartment 10.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second, analogous to Fig. 1 representation of the table cooling device, in which the flap 15 is pivoted from its closed position shown in Fig. 1 into an open position in which it lies flat on the bottom 18 of the inner container. Since the height of the step 14 corresponds to the thickness of the flap 15, in this open position the flap 15 has its inner surface, more precisely its central section 19 projecting into the inside of the freezer compartment 10 in the closed state, at a height with the bottom 20 of the freezer compartment 10.
  • FIG. 3A shows a section through the table-top refrigerator at the level of the freezer compartment 10 with the flap 15 closed. It can be seen that a gap at the side edges of the flap 15, just as can be seen in FIG. 1 for its upper and lower edge 23 is angled twice between the inner container 4 and the flap 15, so that, if at all, only a small amount of air can be exchanged through the gap 23 between the freezer compartment 10 and the normal cooling compartment 9.
  • the depth of the freezer compartment 10 or the frozen food pull-out 17 is significantly greater than that between the front edge of the wall 13 and the stop formed here by the spar 22, it is also possible to borrow both sizes the same or the depth at most to be selected slightly larger than the distance, so that when the freezer drawer 17 is completely pulled out, practically its entire top is freely accessible and the extract 17 can be lifted out of the appliance without difficulty. In this case, the cutout 24 is not necessary.
  • Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the flap 15 'of a table cooling device according to a second embodiment of the invention in the opened position.
  • the flap differs from that shown in FIG. 2 by a plurality of stop projections 26, which are arranged along the upper inner edge in the closed state of the flap 15 ', in the open position of FIG. 4 the upper right edge thereof.
  • the stop projections 26 serve as stops for limiting the pull-out movement of the frozen food pull-out 17. They also reliably limit the pull-out movement when the door 6 of the table-top refrigerator can be opened by more than 90 ° and the bars 22 and shelves 21 therefore do not give off a secure stop ,
  • the bottom of the frozen food pull-out 17 can here as well as that with reference to Figs. 1 to 3 described configuration to be flat, so that in each case one of the front wall of the frozen food pull-out 17 facing the door strikes against the stop projections 26.
  • grooves 27 are provided on the bottom thereof at the stop projections 26 of the flap 15 ', starting from the front wall 28 of the pull-out 17', but which are the rear wall 29 of the pull-out 17 'do not reach.
  • the length of the grooves 27 is defined such that the stop projections 26 each abut one end surface 30 of the groove 27, shortly before the rear wall 29 emerges under the horizontal hollow wall 13 when the frozen food pull-out 17 'is pulled out.
