Definitions

  • This invention relates to a refrigerated cabinet.
  • refrigerated cabinets such as domestic refrigerators that they provide a storage space and have a front door which is opened to enable access into the storage space
  • a difficulty with conventional domestic refrigerators arises from the circumstance that when the door is opened, all of the cold air contained within the storage cabinet is able to readily escape through the open front opening of the storage space.
  • cool rooms with doors which facilitate access into the cool room for the purposes of extracting goods from the cool room and/or the purposes of entry.
  • refrigerated cabinets which have a permanently open front opening to facilitate access by customers to the goods contained within that cabinet through the open front opening.
  • GB-A-642,085 discloses those features set out in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a refrigeration system is characterised by those features set out in the characterising portion of claim 1.
  • the first arrangement shown in the accompanying drawings relates to a domestic refrigerator which comprises a cabinet 11 which defines a storage space within its interior.
  • the cabinet 11 ls open at its front opening and is provided with a door 13 which is associated with the front opening to be moveable from a closed position as shown at Figure 1 to prevent access to the front opening of the cabinet and an open position as shown at Figure 2 which enables access to the front opening of the cabinet.
  • the storage space of the cabinet includes a zone which is defined by a set of compartments 15. Each compartment 15 is closed at its lower and upper face.
  • each compartment is closed by a closure element 17 which is pivotally supported from the lower wall of the respective compartment such that it is moveable between a closed position at which the upper edge of the closure 17 substantially sealingly cooperates with the rearmost end of the upper wall of the compartment and an open position at which the compartment is declined rearwardly to provide communication into the compartment through the gap defined between the upper edge of the closure and the rear edge of the uppermost wall of the respective compartment.
  • the cabinet is associated with a conventional refrigeration circuit comprising compressor 19 supported in the lower portion of the cabinet, a condenser 21 supported from the rear exterior face of the cabinet and a vaporiser which is accommodated at the upper end of the compartment of the space.
  • the refrigerator can be provided with a fan which causes air to pass over the vaporiser and thence through the space.
  • the space within the cabinet comprises a plenum 23 defined between the rear wall 25 of the space at an intermediate wall 27 which is spaced inwardly from the rear wall 25.
  • the intermediate wall is provided with a plurality of openings 29 which provide communication between plenum 23 and an intermediate portion of the space defined between the intermediate wall 27 and the rear walls of the compartments.
  • Each compartment 15 slidably supports a drawer 31 which is moveable from a retracted position at which it is fully accommodated within the compartment 15 ( as shown in Figure 1 ) and an extended position at which it extends forwardly from the compartment (as shown in the case of the uppermost compartment of Figure 2 ).
  • Each drawer comprises a lower wall, a front wall 35 and a rear wall 33 has an open top.
  • the front face 35 of each drawer sealingly cooperates with the front opening of the cabinet such that when the drawer is in its retracted position the compartment is sealingly closed at the front face.
  • the rear wall of 33 of each drawer cooperates with the closure 17 of each compartment to move the closure to its open position when the drawer is in its retracted position.
  • Each closure 17 is biased such that on the drawer being moved towards its extended position out of engagement with the closure the closure will move to its closed position.
  • the space within the refrigerated cabinet is divided into a plurality of spaces which are each defined by the drawers 31.
  • Access to the drawers 31 is gained by opening the door 13 of the cabinet and moving the respective drawer 31 to its extended position. In so doing the communication between the plenum 23 and the respective compartment 15 is closed as a result of the closing of the closure 17.
  • Access to the contents of drawer 31 are gained through the open top of the drawer.
  • communication between the plenum 23 and each compartment is only effected when the drawer contained within the compartment is in its retracted position. Therefore when the door 13 of the cabinet is open substantially little cold air is lost from the storage space within the cabinet even when access is gained to the interior of a drawer. With the door 13 open and a drawer 31 in its extended position the plenum 23 is closed and access to the drawer is through the open top only and therefore little cool air is lost through the compartment. The most significant loss of cool air is a result of disturbance of the contents of the drawer.
  • each compartment may be accommodated by the rear wall of the drawer which cooperates with the walls of the compartment to sealingly close the compartment on a drawer being moved from the retracted position to the extended position but when the drawer is in the closed position opens to provide communication between the source of cool air and the interior of the drawer.
  • the drawer substantially cooperates with the walls of the compartment to substantially prevent any substantial movement of cool air from the plenum past the drawer and through the front opening.
  • the engagement need not be a sealing engagement.
  • the upper face cooperates with the upper wall of the compartment whereby when on the drawer moving to the retracted position the upper open face of the drawer opens to the plenum space. In this arrangement, no closure is provided between the respective compartment and the plenum space when the drawer is moved towards its extended position.
  • a refrigeration system which embraces the freedoms provided by the invention.
  • the embodiment comprises at least one compartment 111 providing a storage space which in use is installed within a suitable enclosure 112.
  • the preferred enclosure for the compartment of this embodiment is not a specialised refrigerator cabinet but rather may be any convenient enclosure such as a conventional kitchen cabinet.
  • the compartment 111 comprises an insulated wall and has a front opening through which access is gained to the space and encloses a drawer 114 adapted to slide between an extended position for access to the drawer and a retracted position wherein the drawer 114 is substantially enclosed within the compartment 111.
  • the front, external wall 115 of the drawer is insulated and sealing means is provided between the drawer and the compartment (not shown) so that when the drawer is in the retracted position the contents of the drawer are fully sealed and insulated within the compartment.
  • a suitable cooling means is provided so that when the drawer 114 is in its retracted position the cooling means is adapted to cool the contents of the drawer and when the drawer 114 is not in the retracted position the drawer is isolated from the cooling means.
  • chilled air produced by a remote source is distributed through a suitable ducting system 121.
  • the ducting system 121 is provided with valved porting means 122 in the form of a short connecting duct entering the compartment and housing a valve 123 which is adapted to be engaged by corresponding porting means in the drawer 114 in the form of a suitable nozzle 124 at the rear of the drawer 114.
  • the nozzle 124 opens the valve 123 and thereby enables chilled air to enter the drawer space.
  • the valve in the connecting duct 122 comprises a plurality of flexible leaves 125 normally extending across the throat of the connecting duct 122 to thereby seal the duct 122.
  • the leaves 125 are readily displaced by the nozzle 124 to permit communication of the chilled air into the drawer space. As the chilled air is circulated at low pressure, absolute sealing is not essential and fairly simple valving arrangements will be found satisfactory.
  • the nozzle 124 is also valved although this is not considered important as external air must enter space behind the drawer when the drawer is in the extended position.
  • a pair of ports are provided, one inlet and one outlet port, thereby promoting good circulation of the chilled air. Again, this may not be considered necessary in certain configurations.
  • the cooling means may take many forms.
  • chilled coolant is distributed rather than chilled air.
  • a localised evaporator 211 is provided in a plenum 212 associated with each compartment and isolation means is provided between the drawer and the cooling means which is generally of the form described in relation to the first arrangement. It is thought that this arrangement may provide a system whereby localised thermostatic control may be provided to each drawer in a multi drawer system.
  • the arrangements such as those described in relation to the above embodiments lend themselves to providing a plurality of separated compartments in a single refrigeration system, as shown in Figure 6 .
  • the compartments might be produced in a number of standardised sizes and an interior designer might select several and locate them at different positions around a kitchen area. These might be linked to a single, common cooling source which could be located remote from the compartments thereby removing the main noise source to another location.
  • Some compartments could be provided immediately below bench-top level and provided with a transparent viewing panel to enable a user to identify the contents without opening the drawer. In such an arrangement, the transparent panel might be sealingly hinged so that it could be opened to thereby provide an additional means of access as well as by extending the drawer.
  • certain compartments could be configured as freezer units while others are less cooled for general chilled goods. Indeed, other compartments might only be slightly chilled, for example for storing wine.
  • the described embodiments show a considerable improvement in total efficiency over convention refrigerators, as a result of the fact that there is a very substantial reduction in the volume of cooled air which is lost when a compartment is opened. In addition, they are more accessible because the goods are arranged in the drawers rather than being stacked on shelves where the rearmost items are relatively inaccessible. This is an advantage to the general user but even more particularly to those suffering from a disability.
