Description

No-Frost-Kältegerät No-frost refrigerating appliance
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein No-Frost-Kältegerät. Eine solche Baugruppe umfasst herkömmlicherweise einen Träger auf dem ein Verdampfer und eine Heizung untergebracht sind. Die Baugruppe wird in einem Kühlraum des Kältegeräts deckennah zur Abgrenzung einer Kammer montiert und kommuniziert mit dem Kühlraum oder Kühlräumen durch eine Zwangsbelüftung. Die Trennung der Verdampferkammer von den Kühlräumen erlaubt es, den Verdampfer bei abgeschalteter Zwangsbelüftung mit Hilfe der Heizung zu erwärmen, um so Eis abzutauen, das sich im Laufe des Betriebs des Kältegeräts am Verdampfer niederschlägt.The present invention relates to a no-frost refrigerator. Such an assembly conventionally comprises a carrier on which an evaporator and a heater are housed. The assembly is mounted in a cooling space of the refrigerator close to the ceiling for the delimitation of a chamber and communicates with the refrigerator or cold rooms by forced ventilation. The separation of the evaporator chamber from the cooling chambers allows the evaporator to be heated with the forced ventilation switched off with the aid of the heater so as to defrost ice, which is reflected in the course of operation of the refrigerator on the evaporator.
Bei einer bekannten Baugruppe dieser Art ist die Heizung als eine Rohrheizung ausgebildet, d.h. in Form eines Rohrs, in dem ein schlechter elektrischer Leiter untergebracht ist, der zum Erhitzen mit Strom beaufschlagt werden kann. Bei der bekannten Rohrheizung ist das Rohr mäanderartig auf einem Wärmeleitblech verlegt, d.h. es hat eine Vielzahl von parallelen Abschnitten, von denen zwei benachbarte jeweils durch einen Rohrbogen verbunden sind. Anfang und Ende des Rohrs befinden sich dadurch an entgegengesetzten Rändern des Wärmeleitblechs. Um die mit den zwei Enden des Rohrs verbundenen elektrischen Zuleitungen zusammenzuführen und gemeinsam aus dem Gehäuse herauszuführen, muss wenigstens eine dieser Zuleitungen über eine etwa einer Kantenlänge des Wärmeleitblechs entsprechende Entfernung hinweg in dem Gehäuse verlegt und fixiert werden, was einen zusätzlichen Arbeitsschritt nach der Montage der Rohrheizung in dem Gehäuse erforderlich macht.In a known assembly of this type, the heater is designed as a tube heater, i. in the form of a tube, in which a bad electrical conductor is housed, which can be acted upon for heating with electricity. In the known pipe heating, the pipe is laid on a Wärmeleitblech meandering, i. it has a plurality of parallel sections, two of which are connected by a pipe bend. The beginning and end of the tube are thus at opposite edges of the Wärmeleitblechs. In order to merge the electrical leads connected to the two ends of the tube and to lead them out of the housing together, at least one of these leads must be laid and fixed in the housing over a distance corresponding approximately to an edge length of the heat conduction plate, which is an additional step after assembly of the Pipe heating in the housing is required.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, No-Frost-Kältegerät mit einer Verdampfer- Baugruppe anzugeben, bei der dieser Arbeitsschritt entfallen kann.Object of the present invention is to provide no-frost refrigeration device with an evaporator assembly, in which this step can be omitted.
Indem erfindungsgemäß Anfang und Ende der Rohrheizung sich an zwei unmittelbar benachbarten parallelen Rohrabschnitten befinden, können daran angeschlossene elektrische Zuleitungen auf einem kurzen, eine eigene Fixierung der Zuleitungen am Träger nicht erfordernden Weg aus dem Verdampferraum herausgeführt werden. Um Anfang und Ende der Rohrheizung auf parallele Rohrabschnitte zu legen, sind vorzugsweise zwei parallele Rohrabschnitte, die sich an entgegengesetzten Seiten der Rohrheizung befinden, miteinander durch einen Rohrbogen unmittelbar verbunden.By according to the invention the beginning and end of the pipe heating are located on two immediately adjacent parallel pipe sections, electrical leads connected thereto can be led out of the evaporator chamber on a short path which does not require a separate fixation of the supply lines on the carrier. In order to lay the beginning and end of the pipe heater on parallel pipe sections, preferably two parallel pipe sections, which are located on opposite sides of the pipe heater, connected to each other directly by a pipe bend.
Bei einer ersten Ausgestaltung verläuft dieser Rohrbogen in derselben Ebene wie die parallelen Rohrabschnitte. In diesem Fall kann der Rohrbogen genauso wie die parallelen Rohrabschnitte unterhalb des Verdampfers platziert sein und diesen von unten beheizen.In a first embodiment, this pipe bend runs in the same plane as the parallel pipe sections. In this case, the pipe bend as well as the parallel pipe sections can be placed below the evaporator and heat it from below.
Einer zweiten Ausgestaltung zufolge verläuft der Rohrbogen außerhalb der Ebene der parallelen Rohrabschnitte, vorzugsweise an einer Stirnseite des Verdampfers entlang oder quer über den Verdampfer hinweg.According to a second embodiment, the pipe bend extends outside the plane of the parallel pipe sections, preferably along an end face of the evaporator, along or across the evaporator.
Um die Montage der Rohrheizung zu vereinfachen, ist sie vorzugsweise in Höhe von die den parallelen Rohrabschnitten verbindenden Rohrbögen an Vorsprüngen des Trägers fixiert. Eine solche Fixierung kann insbesondere das herkömmliche Wärmeleitblech als Träger der Rohrheizung überflüssig machen.In order to simplify the installation of the pipe heater, it is preferably fixed at the level of the pipe sections connecting the parallel pipe sections to projections of the carrier. Such a fixation can in particular make the conventional heat conducting plate as a carrier of the pipe heater superfluous.
Die Vorsprünge umfassen vorzugsweise wenigstens einen ersten Vorsprung, der außenseitig an einem Mittelabschnitt des Bogens anliegt, und einen zweiten Vorsprung, der innenseitig an beiden Enden des Bogens, am Übergang zwischen dem Bogen und den daran anschließenden parallelen Rohrabschnitten, anliegt. Dieser zweite Vorsprung kann auch in zwei einzelne, an jeweils einem Ende des Bogens anliegende Vorsprünge aufgeteilt sein.The protrusions preferably comprise at least one first protrusion externally abutting a central portion of the arch and a second protrusion inwardly abutting both ends of the bend at the transition between the bend and the adjoining parallel tube sections. This second projection can also be divided into two individual projections which abut one end of the arc at a time.
Um die Rohrheizung an dem Träger zu fixieren, bildet der erste Vorsprung vorzugsweise einen den Bogen umgreifenden Haken.In order to fix the pipe heater to the carrier, the first projection preferably forms a hook that encompasses the bow.

Behind the edge 27 follows a strong sloping portion 28 and a groove 29, in which - as it represents the deepest region of the bottom plate 25 - accumulating from the evaporator 8 expired condensation and through an opening 30 in the bottom of the channel to a known and evaporator not described here drains off. Each of the rear side 16 of the support 7 facing pipe bends 22 is fixed to the bottom plate 25 by a group of three pins 31, one of which touches the vertex on the outside of the sheet 22 and the other two at the Inside the bow in each case in the transition region to the rectilinear pipe sections 21 abut. By the three pins 31, the position of each pipe bend 22 is set exactly in the horizontal.
Vier von der Bodenplatte 25 abstehende gegabelte Trägerelemente 32 sind vorgesehen, um auf ihnen den Verdampfer 8 zu befestigen, indem jeweils ein Kältemittelrohr des Verdampfers in die Gabel der Trägerelemente 32 eingesteckt und in einer Aufweitung der Gabel verrastet wird.Four bifurcated support members 32 projecting from the bottom plate 25 are provided for securing the evaporator 8 thereon by inserting a refrigerant tube of the evaporator into the fork of the support members 32 and latching them in a widening of the fork.
Fig. 5 zeigt eine Detailansicht des Bodens des Trägers 7 in der Umgebung der Kante 27 gemäß einer gegenüber Fig. 4 geringfügig abgewandelten Ausgestaltung, wobei bei dieser Ausgestaltung die zwei die Innenseite des Bogens 22 berührenden Zapfen 31 durch einen breiten, nach oben verjüngten Vorsprung 33 ersetzt sind und der den Scheitel des Bogens 22 berührenden Zapfen 31 eine besser in dem Schnitt der Fig. 6 zu erkennende Aussparung 34 aufweist in die der Bogen 22 eingreift. Die Rohrheizung 20 wird montiert, indem zunächst ihre der Rückseite benachbarten Rohrbögen 22 in vertikaler Orientierung, wie in Fig. 5 und 6 jeweils gestrichelt dargestellt, auf den Abschnitt 28 der Bodenplatte 25 aufgesetzt werden. Dabei ist es nicht wichtig, dass die Bögen 22 jeweils exakt symmetrisch in Bezug auf den Zapfen 31 und den Vorsprung 33 platziert werden; es genügt, wenn die an den Bogen 22 anschließenden geradlinigen Rohrabschnitte 21 auf verschiedenen Seiten der Spitze des Vorsprungs 33 liegen. Wenn die Rohrheizung 20 gegen die Bodenplatte 25 in die durchgezogen dargestellte Stellung geschwenkt wird, zentriert sich der Bogen an dem Vorsprung 33 selbsttätig, so dass sein Scheitel exakt in der Aussparung 34 des Zapfens 31 zu liegen kommt.5 shows a detailed view of the bottom of the carrier 7 in the vicinity of the edge 27 according to a slightly modified embodiment compared to FIG. 4, wherein in this embodiment the two pins 31 contacting the inside of the sheet 22 have a wide, upwardly tapered projection 33 are replaced and the top of the sheet 22 contacting pin 31 has a better in the section of Fig. 6 to be recognized recess 34 into which the sheet 22 engages. The pipe heater 20 is mounted by first of its rear side adjacent pipe bends 22 in a vertical orientation, as shown in phantom in FIGS. 5 and 6, are placed on the portion 28 of the bottom plate 25. It is not important that the sheets 22 are placed exactly symmetrical with respect to the pin 31 and the projection 33; it is sufficient if the subsequent to the sheet 22 rectilinear pipe sections 21 are located on different sides of the tip of the projection 33. When the pipe heater 20 is pivoted against the bottom plate 25 in the solid shown position, the arc centered on the projection 33 automatically, so that its vertex comes exactly to rest in the recess 34 of the pin 31.
Durch die Aussparung 34 fungiert der Zapfen 31 als ein Haken, der den Rohrbogen 22 daran hindert, sich von dem Abschnitt 28 abzuheben. Der breite Vorsprung 33 verhindert ein Verrutschen des Bogens nach links in Fig. 6, so dass der Rohrbogen aus der Aussparung 33 nicht ausrücken kann und die Rohrheizung 20 somit fest verriegelt ist.Through the recess 34, the pin 31 acts as a hook, which prevents the pipe bend 22 from being lifted from the portion 28. The wide projection 33 prevents slippage of the sheet to the left in Fig. 6, so that the pipe bend from the recess 33 can not disengage and the pipe heater 20 is thus firmly locked.
Die vorderen, der Lufteinlassöffnung 9 zugewandten Rohrbögen 22 können durch Zapfen 31 und Vorsprünge 33 ähnlich den in Fig. 5 und 6 gezeigten an der Bodenplatte 25 verriegelt sein, wobei allerdings bei diesen letzteren Vorsprüngen eine Aussparung, in die der Scheitel des Rohrbogens eingreift, sehr flach sein muss, um ein Andrücken der Rohrbögen 22' zwischen die Zapfen und Vorsprünge in horizontaler Orientierung zu ermöglichen.The front, the air inlet opening 9 facing pipe bends 22 may be by pins 31 and projections 33 similar to those shown in Fig. 5 and 6 are locked to the bottom plate 25, however, in these latter projections a recess in which engages the apex of the pipe bend, very must be flat to a pressing of the To allow pipe bends 22 'between the pins and projections in a horizontal orientation.
Infolge der unterschiedlichen Steigungen der Bodenplatte 25 vor und hinter der Kante 27 steht die fertig montierte Rohrheizung 20 unter einer Biegespannung, die ein Klappern der Rohrheizung infolge von im Betrieb des Kältegeräts auftretenden Erschütterungen verhindert. Due to the different slopes of the bottom plate 25 in front of and behind the edge 27, the fully assembled pipe heater 20 is under a bending stress, which prevents rattling of the pipe heater due to vibrations occurring during operation of the refrigerator.
