Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration device with a heat-insulating housing and a function display panel attached to the housing for displaying functional states and / or operating parameters of the refrigeration device.
  • Such function display panels conventionally include a plurality of lighting elements such as incandescent lamps, light emitting diodes, etc., or a liquid crystal display.
  • the lighting elements must be constantly supplied with energy in order to function, which increases the power consumption of the refrigeration device.
  • the power consumption of a liquid crystal display is much lower than that of a light display, in low light incidence an externally illuminated liquid crystal display is often difficult to read, so to improve their readability such displays are often provided with built-in light sources, which negates the advantage of lower power consumption
  • DE-A-4321 103 discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with an energy-saving function display panel.
  • Such electrically charged pigment carriers and substrates provided with such pigment carriers are marketed by E-Ink Corporation, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
  • the pigment carriers are preferably embedded in a liquid carrier layer.
  • the display panel includes two types of pigment carriers, each carrying opposite electric charge and having different colors. Under the influence of one on the pigment carrier, the differently charged pigment carriers move in different directions so that one type of pigment carrier gathers on a free surface of the function display panel to determine its user visible color while the second type of pigment carrier occupies a lower layer of the display panel where it is obscured by the first type of pigment carrier and not visible to the viewer.
  • the display panel contains one type of pigment carrier which has an electric dipole moment and contains two different pigments, one of which is located in the vicinity of the positive electrical pole and the other in the vicinity of the negative electrical pole. Under the influence of an electric field, such a pigment carrier tends to perform a rotational movement in which the dipole moments are aligned in the field direction. With the aid of electrodes which produce fields which are oriented differently from a surface normal of the function display field, not only the pure colors of the two pigments, but also transitional tones can be displayed in this embodiment.
  • the electrodes of the display panel are inevitably those which can be connected alternately to a positive and a negative supply voltage in order to bring about a color change of a display element associated with the respective electrode.
  • electrodes can also be present, which are permanently connected to a positive or a negative supply voltage, so that the color of their associated display panel is fixed.
  • static graphic elements such as a manufacturer's mark or a model designation that are not implemented in the display panel in a conventional refrigerator but printed in the vicinity of the display panel on the housing of the device in the display and also with the help of the pigments display.
  • On different imprints of the display panels in different refrigeration models can therefore be completely dispensed with; individualization of the various models takes place exclusively via the pattern of the electrodes acting on the pigment carriers.
  • a timer is provided, which closes the main switch at intervals of eg days or weeks, depending on the stability of the display, each for a short time.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerator according to the invention.
  • a door 2 is struck.
  • a hollow panel 3 made of plastic is attached to the housing 1.
  • the entire flush with the door 2 front of the panel 3 is filled by a display panel 4, whose structure with respect to FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described in more detail.
  • an electronic control unit of the refrigerator which controls the operation of a compressor, for example, based on detection results of a mounted inside the refrigerator temperature sensor and a predetermined temperature by a user.
  • a plurality of buttons 5 for controlling the operation of the refrigeration device for example for setting the target temperature, extending through holes of the display panel 4.
  • the display panel 4 is empty.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic section through the display panel 4 according to a first embodiment.
  • a layer 7 of viscous liquid is sandwiched between a solid outer layer 6 of transparent plastic and an inner layer 10 which may be made of a plastic film or any other material impermeable to the liquid of the layer 7.
  • the outer layer 6 is preferably made of the same plastic material as the display panel 4 surrounding parts of the diaphragm 3 and is integrally formed with them.
  • pigment carriers 8 and 9 e.g. black or white pigment and each carry opposite electrical charge.
  • electrodes 11, 12, 13 for applying an electric field are arranged substantially normal to the surface to the outer layer 6.
  • a (not shown) transparent ground electrode is located on the outer layer 6 of the electrodes 11, 12, 13 opposite.
  • the pigment carriers 8, 9 are in a disordered state in which they tend to attract each other due to their unlike electrical charges. This condition is in the left part of the Fig. 2 shown above an electrode 11. In such a state is the display of the in Fig. 1 shown refrigeration device; before initial startup, ie before first applying a potential to the electrodes of the display panel, the pigment carriers 8, 9 are randomly distributed in the display panel 4 and the display panel has an indefinite gray color, in Fig. 1 symbolized by hatched areas.
  • the pigment carriers 8, 9 are separated from each other, and the negatively charged white pigment carriers 8 migrate to the positive electrode 12 and the side of the liquid layer 7 facing away from the negative electrode 13, respectively, and the positively charged black pigment carriers 9 accumulate on the negative electrode 13 or the side facing away from the positive electrode 12 of the layer 7.
  • the surfaces of the electrodes 12 and 13 are black or white on the display panel 4 from.
  • FIG. 3 A similar effect is achieved with the in Fig. 3 reached in the schematic section shown display field.
  • the structure of the display panel is substantially the same as with reference to FIG Fig. 2 described; only the pigment carriers 14 are electric dipoles and each contain different colored pigments in the vicinity of their electric poles. In the case considered here, black pigment is at the positive pole and white at the negative pole.
  • the originally randomly oriented pigment carriers 14 as shown above the electrode 11 are aligned so that they face above the positive electrode 12 the black plus pole of the outer layer 6 and above the negative electrode 13 white negative pole.
  • Fig. 4 shows a plan view of a disposed within the panel 3 behind the inner layer 10 printed circuit board with the inner layer 10 facing electrodes.
  • electrodes 15 white in the figure, which occupies most of the surface of the circuit board and, if the electrodes are powered, is fixedly connected to a negative potential
  • electrodes 16 in which Fig. Characterized by an obliquely upward hatching, which are permanently connected to voltage supply to a positive potential and electrodes 17, shown obliquely downwardly hatched, which can be acted upon by a control circuit 18 with both positive and negative potential.
  • the electrodes 16 are here in the form of letters to indicate a manufacturer or model designation or other immutable graphical elements.
  • a main switch 20 is provided to disconnect all electrodes 15, 16, 17 and the control circuit 18 from its supply voltage and thus to reduce the power consumption of the display panel 4 to zero.
  • the main switch 20 is closed only to activate the display panel 4 when the control electronics 21 of the refrigerator indicates that a parameter to be displayed on the display panel 4, such as the internal temperature or an operating condition, has changed its value and therefore the color of a display element of the panel 4 must be changed. Since voltage is also applied to the electrodes 15, 16 at fixed potential at such a time, the display fields assigned to these electrodes are also refreshed from time to time, and a loss of contrast is also avoided in these display fields.
