Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a domestic refrigerator of the type comprising a structure and a refrigerant circuit provided with a compressor having a container in the form of a dish for the collection and evaporation of defrosting water, said container being in thermal contact with the compressor.
  • a domestic refrigerator is taken to mean any household electrical appliance for preserving fresh and/or deep-frozen foods, for example refrigerators provided with a fridge compartment and a freezer compartment, chest or upright freezers etc..
  • the aim of the present invention is provide a domestic refrigerator of the type specified at the beginning of the description, which does not exhibit the above-stated disadvantages and which is simple and economic to produce. According to the invention, said object is achieved by a refrigerator having the features stated in the appended claims.
  • the reference number 10 denotes overall a domestic refrigerator having a structure 10a constituted by a thermally insulated cabinet within which are accommodated one or more bays (not shown) closed by suitable access doors. Below the structure there is located, in a known manner, a compartment 12 for the installation of a compressor 14, fixed at 16 to a metal crosspiece 18 delimiting the bottom of said compartment 12.
  • the compressor 14 is an integral part of the refrigeration circuit of the refrigerator, comprising a condenser and one or more evaporators.
  • a flexible film 24 is joined, for example by comoulding or by adhesive bonding, to the frame 22 of the dish V, which film, once the dish V has been set in place on the compressor 14, adapts itself under the effect of gravity to the dome of the compressor. Such "adaptation” is facilitated by the weight of the defrosting water that is channelled to the dish V, in that the greater the volume of water in the dish V, the greater the area of contact between the flexible film 24 and the compressor 14.
  • the dish V projects to the rear of the structure 10a by a depth Y such that evaporation of the water is promoted.
  • the guides 20 can be spaced relative to the upper wall 12a of the compartment 12 so as to ensure sufficient evaporation of the water.
  • the material used to produce the flexible film 24 can be silicone rubber, PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide or copolymers thereof. Materials other than those listed here can, of course, also be used.
  • the frame 22 can be produced integrally with the flexible film 24.
  • the flexible film portion 24 of the dish V comes into contact with the compressor 14.
  • the flexible film 24 will be able to adapt itself to different types and shapes of compressor, with obvious advantages in the management of household electrical appliance components and spare parts.
