Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement with a compressor and an evaporation tray for a refrigerator, such as a refrigerator or freezer.
- a collecting channel is generally attached to a wall of the interior space below the evaporator, which collects moisture flowing away from the evaporator. From the lowest point of the collecting trough, a channel is led through the housing wall of the refrigerator through which the water can flow out of the interior. This channel traditionally ends in an open bowl in which the water can evaporate. The bowl is placed over the compressor of the refrigerator to heat the water with the waste heat from the compressor, thereby accelerating its evaporation.
- Such evaporation trays are also used in freezers with automatic defrost, so-called no-frost devices, in which the evaporator is artificially heated from time to time in order to defrost the frost deposited on it.
- Such a bowl must be placed as close as possible to the compressor in order to achieve sufficient heating, which ensures that the bowl does not overflow during operation and water flows onto the compressor.
- the tray In order to achieve such a close neighborhood between compressor and evaporation tray, which is uniform in series production from device to device, the tray is generally not mounted on housing parts of the refrigeration device, but rather directly on the compressor.
- a known way to mount the shell is to snap it onto the pipe socket of the compressor. However, this is from the standpoint of a firm and secure
- the technology currently used by the applicant therefore uses flat pins which are welded onto the top of the compressor in order to mount the evaporation tray thereon.
- the evaporation tray can be installed securely and securely and with a reproducible position in relation to the compressor, but it has the disadvantage that welding is labor-intensive, because the locations provided for attaching the pins on the compressor housing have to be polished beforehand, and that damage to the compressor housing cannot be ruled out in the event of careless welding. If there is a hole in the compressor housing during welding, this damage cannot be repaired economically and the compressor must be scrapped.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a compressor-evaporation tray arrangement which is simple and economically feasible.
- the latching flanks of the upper half-shell can be incorporated with little effort during the manufacture of the shell, even before the compressor is assembled.
- the assembly of the arrangement according to the invention can therefore be carried out in a simple manner by simply pressing the shell onto the compressor until it snaps into place, or by fitting and then rotating it in the manner of a bayonet attachment.
- the upper half-shell has a basic shape that is rotationally symmetrical about an axis, and that the latching flanks are arranged at the same height with respect to this axis. So it is possible to mount the evaporation tray in a variety of orientations according to the degree of symmetry; the search for an orientation of the shell suitable for mounting is thereby made easier or completely unnecessary.
- the locking flanks can be formed on at least one projection or at least one groove of the upper half-shell.
- This can be, in particular, a single, circumferential projection or a plurality of projections which are separate from one another and distributed at regular angular intervals around the circumference of the half-shell; Accordingly, the groove can also extend around the entire circumference of the half-shell, or a plurality of grooves extend in one plane, over separate circumferential sections of the half-shell.
- the holding claws are preferably flexible, so that they are spread apart when the evaporation tray is placed on the upper half-tray, so that it can then engage behind the locking flanks.
- the evaporation tray can be locked in a simple manner if the projections in the circumferential direction of the upper half-tray are separated by gaps, the width of which corresponds at least to the width of the holding claws, so that these are carried out between the projections when the evaporation tray is placed on the evaporator and can be brought into engagement by subsequent twisting.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of the upper part of a compressor with an evaporative shell shown cut open thereon.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the complete evaporation tray from FIG. 1;
- Fig. 3 shows a section through the upper part of a compressor with an evaporation tray mounted thereon according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- 1 shows a perspective view of the upper part of the housing 1 of a compressor for a refrigeration device and, halved, an evaporation shell 2 mounted thereon.
- An upper half shell 1 and a lower half shell 9 only shown in part are connected by a weld 10.
- the lower half-shell 9 carries four fastening tabs 11 for screwing the compressor in a refrigerator, of which only one can be seen in the figure.
- the half-shell 1 is a round dome which is formed in one piece from sheet metal by deep drawing. Three rib-shaped projections 3 are worked out of the dome shape, each of which extends over an angle of 60 ° in a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of symmetry of the dome.
- the evaporation shell 2 shown completely in FIG. 2 has a bottom 4 which is adapted to the dome shape of the upper half shell 1. At the edge of the bottom 4, where it meets the side wall of the evaporation tray 2, three holding claws 5 are arranged. These also each extend over an angle of almost 60 ° and are evenly distributed over the circumference of the evaporation tray 2.
- the evaporation tray 2 by first placing it on the half-shell 1 in an orientation in which the holding claws 5 reach through the spaces between adjacent ribs 3 and then rotate the evaporation tray 2 so that the d ie the holding claws 5 come into contact with the locking flanks 7 on the underside of the ribs 3 and so hold the evaporation tray 2 against the upper half-tray 1.
- the evaporation tray 2 according to this embodiment can be made in one piece from a rigid material, since the assembly does not require any significant deformation of the holding claws 5.
- the three ribs 3 are replaced by a rib extending over the entire circumference of the half-shell 1.
- the holding claws of the evaporation tray have to be flexible so that the evaporation tray can be mounted on the continuous rib, the holding claws being bent outwards.
- the entire evaporation tray can be formed from a flexible material, or flexible holding claws can be attached to an otherwise rigid evaporation tray, for example molded on by injection molding. If the material of the holding claws is not only flexible but also stretchable, the holding claws can also be designed as a closed ring which extends over the entire circumference of the evaporation shell 2.
- the evaporation shell is fastened to a circumferential groove 6 which is recessed into the upper half shell 1.
- the claws 5 engaging in the groove 6 can also be distributed here in a plurality over the circumference of the evaporation shell 2, or they can form a single closed ring.
- Locking flanks 7 for anchoring the evaporation tray are formed here by the upper side wall of the groove 6.
