Definitions

  • This invention relates to an insulated unit which is utilized in home appliances such as cooling devices, washers, washer/dryers and ovens comprising vacuum insulated cabinets.
  • insulated units utilized in home appliances such as cooling devices, washers, washer/dryers and ovens
  • polyurethane foam is preferably used as insulation material between the inner and outer casings that form the body.
  • an insulation material between the inner and outer casings and one or more than one Vacuum Insulated Panel (VIP) are used.
  • cooling cabin can be manufactured using Vacuum Insulated Cabinets (VIC) constructed by applying the insulation material into casings made of plastic materials, which are brought to the desired form by thermal processes, and by vacuum tight sealing these casings.
  • VIC Vacuum Insulated Cabinets
  • Vacuum insulated cabinet is obtained by inserting insulation materials such as glass fiber, silicate, perlite, aero gel, polystyrene extracted by open cell extrusion, open cell polyurethane, and recycled urethane fluff (RUF) between plastic surfaces of various forms and vacuum sealing these surfaces.
  • Vacuum insulated cabinet manufactured by the above mentioned method has a constant vacuum level. Vacuum level of a vacuum insulated cabinet varies according to the insulation material applied. Consequently, since their thermal conductivity is low, vacuum insulated cabinets have the capability of decreasing the heat transfer into the cooling device from the outer medium.
  • the aim of this invention is to realize a modular insulated unit that is especially applied for cooling devices and that is formed by attaching vacuum insulated cabinets that will sustain the vacuum level and accordingly the insulating performance for a specified time.
  • the insulated unit designed to fulfil the object of this invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:
  • FIG. 1- is a schematic view of an insulated unit
  • FIG. 2 - is a cross section view of a vacuum insulated cabinet
  • FIG. 3 - is a perspective view of a single channel connector
  • Fig. 4 - is a perspective view of a double channel connector
  • FIG. 5 - is a schematic view of vacuum insulation cabinets that are assembled by connectors, [016] Elements shown in figures are numbered as follows :
  • the insulated unit (1) which is the object of the present invention, comprises at least one vacuum insulated cabinet (2) which is vacuum tight sealed after it is filled with the insulation material, and one or more than one connectors (5) which connect more than one vacuum insulated cabinet (2).
  • the vacuum insulated cabinet (2) comprises an outer shell (9) the sides of which are welded on top of each other and preferably shaped by means of thermal processes, an inner shell (8), a connection edge (3) where welding is applied and only the sides of the inner shell (8) and outer shell (9) are in contact, and an insulation cavity (4) between the inner and outer shell (8, 9), surrounded by a connection edge (3) and vacuum tight sealed after it is filled with the insulation material ( Figure 2).
  • the connector (5) comprises a channel (6) along one or more than one side, enabling the connection of a side, preferably the connection edge (3), of the vacuum insulated cabinet (2), and passages (7) with adequate number and size, enabling transmission of mechanical and electrical lines (pipes and cables), especially connections of the cooling systems (such as pipes in the cooling cycle which transmit the refrigerant fluid) in cooling devices, from outside to the inner volume that is formed by the assembly of vacuum insulated cabinets (2), without interfering the vacuum insulated cabinets (2).
  • the cooling systems such as pipes in the cooling cycle which transmit the refrigerant fluid
  • Transfer of the transmission lines to another connector (5) is provided by po ⁇ sitioning the outlets of passages (7) overlapping the passages (7) on connectors (5).
  • These passages (7) are designed along the length and/or the width of the connector (5) and enable the passage of transmission lines inside the connector (5). Transmission lines can easily be transferred from one connector (5) to the other by means of these passages (7). Thus, the transfer of transmission lines to all surfaces of the closed volume which is surrounded by the vacuum insulated cabinets (2) is provided.
  • the thickness of the connector (5) is preferably equal to that of the vacuum insulated cabinet (2), thus, when it is attached to the vacuum insulated cabinet (2) no irregularities are formed on the vacuum insulated cabinet (2) enabling a more efficient use of inner and outer surfaces of the cabinets formed by joining vacuum insulated cabinets (2).
  • the connector (5) can be manufactured from metal or plastic material (polyurethane, polystyrene or such) ( Figure 3 and Figure 4).
  • the walls that form the insulated unit (1) are the ones forming the vacuum insulated cabinet (2), and by assembling the walls by the connectors (5) a closed volume which is isolated from outer medium is achieved.
  • Connectors (5) form the frame of this closed volume.
  • Connectors (5) are attached to the vacuum insulated cabinet (2) by preferably tight fit and sealing is obtained by the application of mechanical or chemical methods ( Figure 1 and Figure 5).
  • a connector (5) which comprises as many channels (6) as the amount of vacuum insulated cabinets (2) to be assembled, is used.
  • a connector (5) with a single channel (6) is used when the vacuum insulated cabinet (2) is attached to one connection edge (3) ( Figure 3 and Figure 4).
  • insulated unit (1) is a cooling device and this cooling device is manufactured as follows:
  • vacuum insulated cabinet (2) which preferably forms a sidewall of the cooling device
  • the channel (6) which rests on the connector (5) including two channels (6) by means of a connection edge (3)
  • vacuum insulated cabinet (2) which forms the rear wall of refrigerator
  • the connection edge (3) opposite to the one which is inserted into the channel (6) of the vacuum insulated cabinet (2) which forms the rear wall is attached to another connector (5) having two channels (6)
  • other side wall of the cooling device is attached to the channel (6) which is on the surface of the connector (5) which is preferably vertical to the rear wall.
  • vacuum insulated cabinets (2) With the three sides of the cooling device closed by means of three vacuum insulated cabinets (2), vacuum insulated cabinets (2) forming the bottom and top walls of the cooling device are attached to these vacuum insulated cabinets (2) by means of connectors (5).
  • Connectors (5) having one channel (6) are attached to the connection edges (3) situated on side walls where the door of the cooling device is mounted facing outside.
  • these connectors (5) preferably do not comprise any channels (6) in the direction opposite to the channel (6) where the connection edge (3) of the vacuum insulated cabinet (2) is attached and have an appropriate structure enabling the mounting of the gasket, positioned on the door, sealing and separating the outer medium from the inner volume of the cooling device.
  • the door is attached to the cooling device comprising bottom, top, side and rear walls using the connectors (5) that are attached to the connection edges (3) of vacuum insulated cabinets (2) forming the side walls by means of fixing methods available in the current state of art; thus, providing a cooling device.
  • transmission lines are passed inside the connector (5) through the passages (7) provided on connectors (5) having their inlets preferably at the rear corners of the cooling device. Consequently, transmission lines are conveyed inside the connectors (5) to the inside or outside the cooling device by means of passages (7).
  • passages (7) There are various methods applied in order to hide the transmission lines which are conveyed to the inner volume of the cooling device by means of an outlet.
