Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration device having a body and a pivotally hinged to the body door, which together define an interior, which is illuminated by at least one lamp.
  • Refrigerators are known in which such an interior lighting is not housed in the interior itself, but at the bottom of a control panel, which forms the upper front end of the housing, and this underside, when the door is closed, an upper edge of the door opposite. With such a lamp, however, it is difficult to satisfactorily illuminate the upper rear portion of the interior.
  • a luminaire according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 4,754,376.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device, which ensures a uniform illumination of the interior with a minimum of the visibility of objects in the interior impairing shadows and most complete glare.
  • the object is achieved by a refrigeration device with the features of claim 1.
  • From the attachment of the at least one lamp on the door of the refrigerator results in that they pass through the interior with the door open through the open front, largely parallel to the viewing direction of a user, illuminates. Extensive parallelism eliminates the risk of dazzling the user; moreover, the shadows of objects illuminated in the interior by the luminaire are substantially behind these objects, also with respect to the viewing direction of the user, and therefore essentially obscure only objects which anyway by standing in front of it are largely hidden.
  • By coupling the light distribution generated by the lamp to the pivoting movement of the door such a good illumination can be realized largely independently of the opening angle of the door.
  • By an appropriate arrangement of the lamp on the door and by a targeted design of the radiation and / or a reflector it is also possible to align the interior of the refrigerator over the entire interior height.
  • the coupling between the pivoting movement of the door and the associated change in the light distribution of the luminaire is preferably of a mechanical nature.
  • the change in light distribution associated with the pivoting of the door preferably includes a rotation of a direction of intense radiation through the light in a direction opposite to the pivotal movement of the door, so that when the door is rotated by a given angle, the direction of the most intense radiation relative to the light Body of the refrigerator does not rotate or at most by a smaller angle than the tilt angle of the door.
  • the coupling may also result in the light distribution of the luminaire having a decreasing width with increasing opening angle of the door, i. that the farther the door is opened, the more concentrated is the light distribution. This takes into account the fact that opening the door generally also removes the luminaire from the interior to be illuminated.
  • the change in the light distribution with respect to the door can be realized, for example, with the aid of a reflector of the lamp, which is movable relative to the light source of the lamp coupled to the pivotal movement of the door.
  • a refractive element may also be provided, which is coupled to the pivoting movement of the Door is movable in relation to the light source. It may also be the light source as a whole pivotally mounted on the inner surface of the door.
  • the luminaire In order to prevent the door itself from shading part of the interior of a door that opens at a right angle, the luminaire should project over an inner surface of the door at least when the door is open.
  • Fig. 1 shows in a horizontal section the front portion of the body 1 of a refrigerator and connected thereto via a hinge 2 door 3 in a half-open and a fully open position.
  • a light 4 is arranged centrally, whose emission characteristic with a main emission M, shown as a cam-shaped curve 5, coupled with respect to the door 3 at the rotation in the hinge 2 is pivotable so that it is oriented in the room Opening and closing the door 3 maintains.
  • the light of the lamp 4 is thus always directed into the interior 6 of the refrigerator inside and illuminated objects placed in it from the front, without dazzling a user.
  • the main radiation direction M of the lamp 4 is directed independently of the opening angle of the door 3 approximately at a same angle of incidence with respect to the opening plane of the interior of the refrigerator in the interior.
  • FIG. 1 An example of the structure of the luminaire 4 is shown in a horizontal section parallel to the sectional plane of Fig. 1 in Fig. 2.
  • a tubular light source 7, e.g. a compact fluorescent tube is centrally located in a vertically extending on the inside of the door 3 chamber 8. Walls of the chamber are formed on the one hand by a cylinder-segment-shaped recess 9 of the door 3, on the other hand by a transparent hood 10 made of glass or plastic.
  • a cylinder-segment-shaped reflector 11 is rotatably arranged.
  • the rotation of the reflector 11 is driven by a mechanism schematically shown in Fig. 3, which is housed in a shallow cavity respectively at the upper and lower ends of the door 3.
  • the hinge 2 is formed in a manner known per se by a metallic fitting part 12 with a plate 13 screwed to the body 1, a horizontal arm 14 and a bearing pin 15 protruding from the arm 14.
  • this trunnion 15 is pressed into a sleeve 16 in a positive and non-positive manner, which cooperates as a friction wheel with a second friction wheel 18, which is formed integrally with a belt pulley 17.
  • the pulley 17 is coupled via a belt 19 to a second pulley 20, which in turn is integrally connected to a friction wheel 21, which arranged a rotation of a coaxial with the light source 7 Rades 22 drives, which carries the reflector 11.
  • the reflector 11 rotates at each rotation of the door 3 in the hinge 2 a to the rotation angle of Door opposite the same angle, so that in Fig. 1 designated M direction of the maximum luminous flux in the beam characteristic of the lamp 4 relative to the body 1 of the refrigerator does not change.
  • the light source 7 may be arranged slightly outside the pivot center of the reflector 11, so that with increasing opening angle of the door 3 - and consequently increasing distance of the light source 7 from the illuminated interior 6 - the concentration of light through the reflector 11 is stronger.
  • friction wheels of the coupling mechanism of Fig. 3 may also be replaced by gears.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of a coupling mechanism.
  • the elements 17 to 21 of FIG. 3 by a rack 23 sets rail-guided in directions indicated by a double arrow P directions in the cavity of the door 3 is displaceable and meshes with teeth of the sleeve 16 and the wheel 22.
  • the effect of the coupling mechanism is the same as in the mechanism of FIG. 3.
  • Fig. 1 shows the door 3 once, shown in solid lines, in a fully open position, pivoted by 90 ° with respect to the closed position (not shown), and once, with dashed lines, in a half-open position.
  • Directions of the beam characteristic 5, in which the light flux has dropped to a certain percentage, for example 50%, of the maximum light flux, are denoted by S in the figure.
  • S Directions of the beam characteristic 5, in which the light flux has dropped to a certain percentage, for example 50%, of the maximum light flux.
  • the rotation of the door 3 in the hinge 2 in a ratio of 1: 1 is translated into a rotation of the reflector 11, in the embodiment of Fig. 5, the rotation of the reflector is smaller than that of the door.
  • the diameter of the wheel 22 can be selected slightly larger than that of the sleeve 16.
  • Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment of a lamp for the refrigeration device according to the invention.
  • a vertically arranged tubular light source 7 is provided, which is placed in front of a semi-cylindrical recess 9 on the inside of the door 3.
  • the inner surface of the recess may be mirrored to form a reflector, but this reflector is not movable.
  • the light source 7 is covered by a transparent screen 24 which is slidably held in rails parallel to the door 3 and driven by coupled to the sleeve 16 wheels 25. These wheels 25 translate any pivotal movement of the door into a displacement of the screen 24 parallel to the inside of the door.
  • the screen 24 is composed of a plurality of vertically oriented prisms shaped so that their deflecting effect on light beams emitted from the light source (shown in dashed lines in Fig. 6) increases with increasing shift of the screen 24 to the left. That is, the farther the door 3 is opened, the farther the screen 24 must be shifted to the left, so that the interior 6 of the refrigerator is illuminated correctly and uniformly at all times.
  • the relationship between the rotation of the door and a rotation of the main emission direction M of the luminaire depends not only on a ratio of a mechanism coupling the wheels 25 to the sleeve 16, but also on the orientations of the entry surfaces of the individual prisms, which in principle are arbitrarily selectable.
  • the gear ratio between the rotation of the door 3 and the rotation of the main radiation direction 11 can be made variable depending on the opening angle of the door 3 by appropriate choice of the shape of the prisms, if necessary, to achieve optimum illumination.
  • Fig. 7 shows a third embodiment of a lamp in a section analogous to that of Figs. 2 and 6.
  • the light has here as light sources on a plurality of white LEDs 26, which, as indicated by dashed lines in the figure, each emitting a collimated light beam.
  • the light-emitting diodes 26 can be arranged one above the other in several vertical rows, wherein only one light-emitting diode 26 is visible in the figure from each row.
  • a screen 24 which is displaceable parallel to the inside of the door 3 and is driven by the wheels 16 coupled to the sleeve 16 is arranged.
  • a cylindrical lens segment 27 is formed in the screen 24.
  • a lateral freedom of movement of the screen 24 of not more than the width of a cylindrical lens segment 27 is sufficient to pivot the main emission direction M of the lamp 4 as a function of the movement of the door 3 so far that an optimal illumination of the interior 6 is always guaranteed ,
  • the lamp 4 is formed by a plate-like carrier 28 which is equipped with a large number of discrete LEDs or with one or more large-area OLEDs.
  • This support 28 is pivotally connected at one of its longitudinal edges to the inner surface of the door 3 and coupled via a coupling mechanism of the type shown in Fig. 3 or Fig. 4 to the pivotal movement of the door 3.
  • the carrier 28 lies flat against the inner surface of the door 3 and therefore requires only a minimum amount of space in the interior.
  • the carrier pivots out, as shown in the figure.
  • the protruding from the inside of the door 3 support 28 allows in particular at right angles open door 3 a good illumination of the hinge 2 adjacent edge region of the interior. 6
