Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator with a water drain line through which moisture that collects in the course of the operation of the refrigerator on a cold surface in the interior, can flow.
  • a water drain line through which moisture that collects in the course of the operation of the refrigerator on a cold surface in the interior, can flow.
  • Such a line traverses the insulation material layer of the device and must be sealed against it, on the one hand, in order to prevent insulation material from penetrating into the interior of the line and into the interior of the device during assembly of the device, on the other hand, to exclude that water from the Line passes into the insulation material and affects their thermal insulation effect.
  • JPH 1089836 discloses a refrigerator with a water pipe for removing condensed water. However, an additional guide pipe discharges into a drainage pipe which is passed through a heat insulation layer. An edge of the opening of a horizontal inner wall engages in a circumferential groove of the drainage line.
  • DE1043357 discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the water drain comprises a pipeline which passes through an opening in an outwardly sloping orientation, wherein the inner wall is a vertical wall, and the groove extends in a plane which is the axis of the Pipe at the level of the groove intersects at a non-right angle.
  • the edge of the opening between the opposite side walls of the groove is clamped or at least kept free of play in order to achieve a reliable seal.
  • the groove is preferably bounded on one side by a rib whose cross-section gradually narrows on its side facing away from the groove, so that the pipe from this side of the rib introduced into the opening of the wall and thereby progressively compressed can be until the rib has passed the opening.
  • the rib is hollow. This facilitates on the one hand the radial compression of the rib during assembly of the pipeline, on the other hand it is easily possible by elastic deformation of the edge of the opening facing wall of the hollow rib, despite dimensional tolerances to keep the wall clamped in the groove.
  • the rib is preferably located between the groove and an end of the tubing adjacent the groove.
  • the opening of the wall is expediently of elliptical shape.
  • a collecting container for water with an outlet pipe engaging in the drain pipe is preferably arranged in the interior.
  • the length of a portion of the pipeline extending in the insulating material layer is preferably at least twice the thickness of the insulating material layer in order to prevent the pipeline from forming a cold bridge.
  • the pipeline is formed by a corrugated tube, in particular of a flexible plastic.
  • a corrugated tube can be conveniently mounted one after the other in the inner and outer walls of the refrigerator housing before the space between them is filled with insulating material.
  • the flexibility of the tubing is preferably higher in the vicinity of the groove than in a middle portion of the tubing remote from the groove to prevent it from extending approximately meandering between the inner and outer walls.
  • Fig. 1 showed a schematic vertical section through a refrigerator according to the invention.
  • the refrigeration device has a body 1 and a door 2, each of which is conventionally formed by a solid outer wall 3 and an inner wall thermoformed from plastic, in the case of the body 1 as an inner container 4, and an insulating foam layer 5 enclosed between these parts.
  • the interior of the inner container 4 is divided by a likewise heat-insulating partition 6 into an evaporator chamber 7 and a storage chamber 8.
  • An air inlet passage 9, passes through the air from the storage chamber 8 in the evaporator chamber 7, is on one of the door 2 facing edge of the partition. 6 educated.
  • An evaporator 10 is accommodated in the evaporation chamber 7 in a collecting tray 11.
  • the drip tray 11 has a rear wall in an opening, not shown in the figure, on which a fan is mounted. In the figure, only a housing 12 can be seen, which surrounds the fan.
  • the fan pushes air from the evaporator chamber 7 into an air duct 19 which extends along the rear wall 18 of the inner container 4 and is separated from the storage chamber 8 by a perforated cover 20.
  • Condensation water which runs from a defrosting of the evaporator 10 of this, is collected in the drip tray 11 and passes through a drain pipe 13 to a pipe 14, which in the interior of the rear wall 18 down to a niche 15 in the lower rear region of the body. 1 extends, in which a compressor 16 and in FIG. not shown condenser are housed. On the compressor 16, an evaporation tray 17 is mounted, in which the pipe 14 opens.
  • Fig. 2 shows isolated the pipe 14th 3 and 4 are each cuts through the inlet and outlet of the pipe 14, and Fig. 5 is a section showing the anchored to the inner container 4 pipe 14.
  • the pipe 14 is a one-piece made of a moderately flexible plastic, z. As polypropylene, molded corrugated hose. Adjacent to an inlet end 21 of the pipe 14, two obliquely oriented to the tube axis ribs 22, 23 are formed, which define a groove 24 between them. On both sides of the ribs 22, 23, two cylindrical portions 25, 26 are formed, wherein, as better in the enlarged view of Fig.
  • the rib 22 has a tapered to the cylindrical portion 25 tapered flanks 27.
  • the diameter of the portion 25 is sized to fit comfortably through an aperture 35 (see FIG Fig. 5 ) can be inserted in the inner container 4.
  • the outer diameter of the rib 22 is larger than that of the opening of the inner container, but the conical shape of the flank 27 allows the rib 22 to be slightly inwardly compressed and to elastically expand the opening of the inner wall 4 so that the rib 22 can pass through the opening 35.
  • the width of the groove 24 corresponds exactly to the wall thickness of the inner container 4, so that after passage of the rib 22, the edge of the opening 35 engages without play in the groove 24.
  • the width of the groove 24 may also be kept slightly smaller than the wall thickness of the inner container 4. In this case, it may be necessary to slightly pull the ribs 22, 23 apart to stretch the groove 24 and lock the inner container to it, but then the inner container 4 is clamped between the facing flanks of the groove 24 and more particularly reliably sealed.
  • a section 28 connects, which has a smaller wall thickness than the portions 25, 26 and which is formed from short corrugated segments and thereby relatively easily flexible.
  • a central portion 29 is formed of wider segments and accordingly stiffer.
  • a short-segment flexible section 30 and to this via a cone 31 a cylindrical portion 32 at.
  • a groove between a last segment of the portion 30 and the cone 31 is designated 38.
  • the cone 31 and the cylindrical section 32 have a greater wall thickness than the sections 28, 29, 30 and are accordingly more rigid than the latter.
  • a valve 33 is locked, the task of which is to pass condensate to the outside, but to suppress a backflow of air through the pipe 14 into the interior of the refrigerator.
  • Fig. 5 shows in longitudinal section the upstream portion of the pipe 14.
  • the inner container 4 is engaged in the groove 24, and due to the oblique orientation of the groove 24, the pipe 14 slopes down through the inner wall 4.
  • this opening 35 has a slightly elliptical cross section with a vertically oriented long axis.
  • the elliptical shape of the opening 35 causes the circular cross-section pipe 14 can undeformed pass through the wall 4 only in the downward orientation shown in the figure or a mirror-image, toward the back of the body rising orientation.
  • the downstream end of the conduit 14 is anchored in an opening 37 of a cross member 36 which extends between two side walls across the niche 15 and forms part of the outer wall 3 in a manner similar to the upstream end in the inner container 4.
  • the edges of the opening 37 are in the directly adjacent to the cone 31 groove 38 (see Fig. 4 ) locked.
