Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solches Kältegerät ist z.B. aus der FR-A-2 734 086 bekannt.Such a refrigerator is eg from the FR-A-2 734 086 known.

Bei Kältegeräten wie beispielsweise Kühlschränken und Gefriertruhen wird eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Einrichtungen verwendet, die für ihren Betrieb eine Stromversorgung benötigen. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Motore, Beleuchtungen und Sensoren. Hierzu wird der Mixstrom auf eine Anzahl verschiedener Stecker verteilt, an die die spannungsversorgten Einrichtungen dann angesteckt werden können.In refrigerators such as refrigerators and freezers, a different number of devices are used, which require a power supply for their operation. These include, for example, motors, lights and sensors. For this purpose, the mix stream is distributed to a number of different connectors, to which the voltage-supplied devices can then be plugged.

Diese Stecker werden üblicherweise in einem Loch in der Innen- und/oder Au ßenschale des Kältegeräts verrastet. Die Stecker werden üblicherweise als Normteile zugekauft und haben daher immer gleiche Abmessungen. Dagegen ist die Stärke der Außenschale des Kältegeräts sehr vom Typ des Kältegeräts und von den Produktionsbedingungen abhängig. Es haben sich daher bereits oftmals Probleme bei der Passgenauigkeit der Normstecker mit verschiedenen Typen von Kältegeräten ergeben. Solche Probleme führen dann dazu, dass entweder die Normstecker oder die Ausbrüche in der Außenschale des Kältegeräts aufwändig nachbearbeitet werden müssen.These plugs are usually latched in a hole in the inner and / or outer shell of the refrigerating appliance. The plugs are usually purchased as standard parts and therefore always have the same dimensions. In contrast, the thickness of the outer shell of the refrigeration device is very dependent on the type of refrigeration device and the production conditions. Therefore, there have often been problems with the accuracy of fit of the standard plug with different types of refrigerators. Such problems then lead to either the standard plug or the outbreaks in the outer shell of the refrigerator must be reworked consuming.

Nach der Montage dieser Stecker wird bei den Kältegeräten ein Zwischenraum, der durch die Innenschale und die Außenschale gebildet wird, üblicherweise ausgeschäumt, so dass um den Kühlgutbehälter eine geschlossene Isolationsschicht möglichst ohne Kältebrücken gebildet wird. Um dabei ein Eindringen des Schaumes in die Stecker zu verhindern, muss jeder einzelne Stecker mit Klebeband gegen den Schaum gesichert werden. Ebenso muss dafür gesorgt werden, dass der Schaum nicht zwischen den einzelnen Steckern oder zwischen den Steckern und der Öffnung in der Außenschale herausgedrückt wird.After the installation of these plugs, a gap which is formed by the inner shell and the outer shell is usually filled with foam in the refrigeration appliances, so that a closed insulation layer is formed around the refrigerated goods container as far as possible without cold bridges. In order to prevent penetration of the foam into the connector, each individual connector must be secured with adhesive tape against the foam. Likewise it must be ensured that the foam is not pushed out between the individual plugs or between the plugs and the opening in the outer shell.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kältegerät so auszugestalten, dass solche Probleme vermieden werden und Normstecker problemlos in dem Kältegerät montiert werden können. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, das aufwändige Abkleben der einzelnen Stecker zu vermeiden und trotzdem ein Eindringen von Isolationsschaum zu verhindern.The invention has for its object to design a refrigerator so that such Problems can be avoided and standard plug can be easily mounted in the refrigerator. A further object of the invention is to avoid the time-consuming masking of the individual plugs and nevertheless to prevent the penetration of insulation foam.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1. Durch die Verwendung einer Adapterbox kann an jedem Typ eines Kältegeräts eine Anpassung vorgenommen werden, ohne dass hierbei andere Stecker verwendet werden müssten, oder Normteile geändert werden müssten. Die Adapterbox ist so ausgeführt, dass sie in dem Bereich, in dem die Stecker montiert werden, an diese Normmaße angepasst ist. In dem Bereich in dem die Adapterbox in der Öffnung der Außenschale des Kältegeräts montiert wird, ist die Adapterbox an das Kältegerät angepasst.The object is achieved according to the invention by a refrigeration device with the features of claim 1. By using an adapter box can be made to each type of refrigeration device an adaptation without this other connectors would have to be used, or standard parts would have to be changed. The adapter box is designed to conform to these standard dimensions in the area where the plugs are mounted. In the area in which the adapter box is mounted in the opening of the outer shell of the refrigerator, the adapter box is adapted to the refrigeration device.

Erfindungsgemäß werden die Stecker für die elektrische Installation in der Adapterbox über einen Schnappverschluß montiert. Diese Montage der Stecker in der Adapterbox muss nicht zwangsläufig beim Hersteller des Kältegeräts erfolgen, sondern es kann die Bestückung der Adapterbox direkt zum Hersteller der Stecker verlagert werden. Auf diese Weise lassen sich beim Produzenten des Kältegeräts Kosten einsparen.According to the invention, the plugs for the electrical installation in the adapter box are mounted via a snap closure. This installation of the plug in the adapter box does not necessarily have to be done by the manufacturer of the refrigeration device, but it can be shifted to the manufacturer of the connector, the assembly of the adapter box. In this way, the manufacturer of the refrigeration device can save costs.

Auch die Adapterbox selbst wird über einen Schnappmechanismus in der Öffnung der Außenschale des Kältegeräts montiert. Dadurch fällt die aufwändige Justage der einzelnen Stecker zueinander in einer nicht 100 %ig normgerechten Öffnung in dem Kältegerät weg.The adapter box itself is mounted via a snap mechanism in the opening of the outer shell of the refrigerator. As a result, the complex adjustment of the individual plugs to each other in a not 100% compliant standard opening in the refrigerator away.

In vorteilhafter Weise wird die Adapterbox von der Innenseite des Kältegeräts in die Öffnung eingeführt und dort verriegelt. Auf diese Weise kann verhindert werden, dass die Adapterbox beim Ausschäumen des Zwischenraums wieder herausgedrückt wird. Durch die Montage von der Innenseite wird die Adapterbox durch den Schaum noch fester in ihre Verriegelung gedrückt. Um zu verhindern, dass der Isolierschaum die Adapterbox durch die Öffnung in der Außenschale nach außen drückt, ist an der Adapterbox ein Flansch vorgesehen, der sich an der Innenseite der Außenschale abstützt. Der Flansch ist als Ringflansch ausgebildet, so dass die Abstützung flächig um den ganzen Rand der Öffnung erfolgt.Advantageously, the adapter box is inserted from the inside of the refrigerator in the opening and locked there. In this way it can be prevented that the adapter box is pushed out again when filling the gap. By mounting from the inside, the adapter box is pushed even more firmly into its lock by the foam. To prevent the insulating foam pushes the adapter box through the opening in the outer shell to the outside, is on the adapter box a Flange provided, which is supported on the inside of the outer shell. The flange is designed as an annular flange, so that the support is flat over the entire edge of the opening.

Die Adapterbox ist in mehrere Bereiche aufgeteilt. Auf diese Weise können unterschiedliche Stecker, die voneinander getrennt zu montieren sind, trotzdem in nur einer Öffnung der Außenschale angebracht werden.The adapter box is divided into several areas. In this way, different plugs, which are to be mounted separately from each other, still be mounted in only one opening of the outer shell.

Zur Aufnahme der Zuleitungen zu den Steckern ist die Adapterbox mit einem Schacht versehen. Dieser Schacht ist mit dem Flansch verbunden, der sich an der Innenseite der Innen- und/oder Außenschale abstützt und erstreckt sich in den mit Isolierschaum zu füllenden Zwischenraum zwischen der Innen- und der Außenschale des Kältegeräts.To accommodate the supply lines to the plugs, the adapter box is provided with a shaft. This shaft is connected to the flange, which is supported on the inside of the inner and / or outer shell and extends into the space to be filled with insulating foam between the inner and outer shell of the refrigerator.

Beim Erzeugen der Isolierschicht durch das Ausschäumen des Zwischenraumes muss verhindert werden, dass der Isolierschaum in die Stecker eindringt und diese schädigt. Erfindungsgemäß werden daher bereits Vorkehrungen getroffen die bewirken, dass ein Eindringen des Schaums in den Leitungsschacht der Adapterbox vermieden wird. Hierzu ist ein Formstück aus einem kompressiblen Werkstoff vorgesehen, welches an die Kontur des Schachtes angepasst ist. Dieses Formstück kann beispielsweise aus einem Schaumstoff bestehen, der zusammengedrückt in den Schacht eingebracht wird und sich durch seine Elastizität eng an die Innenwand des Schachtes anlegt.When generating the insulating layer by the foaming of the gap must be prevented that the insulating foam penetrates into the plug and this damages. According to the invention, therefore, precautions are already taken to ensure that penetration of the foam into the duct of the adapter box is avoided. For this purpose, a shaped piece made of a compressible material is provided, which is adapted to the contour of the shaft. This molding may for example consist of a foam, which is compressed in the shaft and introduced by its elasticity fits tightly against the inner wall of the shaft.

Um die Zuleitungen der Stecker aus der Adapterbox herauszuführen ist in dem Formstück, das den Schacht verschließt, ein Schlitz vorgesehen. Auch hier passt sich der kompressible Werkstoff, bedingt durch seine Elastizität, sehr genau an die in den Schlitz geführten Zuleitungen an, so dass eine gute Abdichtung gegen den Isolierschaum gewährleistet ist.To lead out the leads of the plug from the adapter box is provided in the fitting, which closes the shaft, a slot. Here, too, the compressible material, due to its elasticity, adapts very precisely to the feed lines guided into the slot, so that a good seal against the insulating foam is ensured.

Um das Abdichtungsformstück in seiner Lage zu fixieren ist an dem Schacht ein Fortsatz in der Form eines Anschlags vorgesehen, der sich senkrecht zu der Schachtwand vor die durch das Formstück verschlossene Schachtöffnung erstreckt.In order to fix the sealing fitting in position on the shaft, an extension in the form of a stopper is provided, which is perpendicular to the shaft wall in front of the extends through the fitting closed shaft opening.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen im Zusammenhang mit der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels, das anhand der Zeichnung eingehend erläutert wird.Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims in connection with the description of an embodiment which is explained in detail with reference to the drawing.

Die Adapterbox 1 weist eine Frontplatte 4 und den Schacht 3 auf. Die Adapterbox 1 ist in vorteilhafter Weise als Spritzgußteil aus Kunststoff gefertigt. Die Frontplatte 4 ist so dimensioniert, dass sich um den Schacht 3 ein ringförmiger Flansch 6 ergibt. Mit diesem Flansch 6 stützt sich die Adapterbox 1 gegen die hier nicht gezeigte Innenseite der Außenschale des Kühlgeräts ab. Mit dem Schnappverschluss 7 rastet die Adapterbox 1 im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel in die Öffnung der Außenschale ein.The adapter box 1 has a front plate 4 and the shaft 3. The adapter box 1 is made in an advantageous manner as an injection molded part made of plastic. The front plate 4 is dimensioned so that there is an annular flange 6 around the shaft 3. With this flange 6, the adapter box 1 is supported against the inside of the outer shell of the refrigerator, not shown here. With the snap closure 7, the adapter box 1 engages in the present embodiment in the opening of the outer shell.

Die Schnappverschlüsse 7 werden durch hakenförmige Fortsätze eines Frontrahmens 5 gebildet. Dieser Frontrahmen 5 ist genau an die Öffnung in der Außenschale des Kühlgeräts angepasst und dient der Führung der Adapterbox in dieser Öffnung. Durch die genaue Anpassung kann eine exakte Positionierung der Adapterbox und ein praktisch spielfreies Zusammenwirken der Schnappverschlüsse 7 mit der Außenschale gewährleistet werden.The snap fasteners 7 are formed by hook-shaped extensions of a front frame 5. This front frame 5 is exactly adapted to the opening in the outer shell of the refrigerator and serves to guide the adapter box in this opening. Due to the exact adaptation, an exact positioning of the adapter box and a practically backlash-free interaction of the snap fasteners 7 with the outer shell can be ensured.

Durch den Steg 11 wird die Adapterbox 1 in zwei Bereiche unterteilt. In dem linken Bereich ist das Steckermodul 2, in dem rechten Bereich das Steckermodul 14 fixiert. Die Steckermodule sind in der Frontplatte 4 ebenfalls über Schnappverschlüsse 8 montiert. Die Ausnehmungen in der Frontplatte 4 sind daher normgerecht dimensioniert. Für die normgerechten Steckermodule 2 und 14 kann daher immer ein sicherer Sitz gewährleistet werden.Through the web 11, the adapter box 1 is divided into two areas. The plug module 2 is fixed in the left-hand area, and the plug-in module 14 is fixed in the right-hand area. The Plug modules are also mounted in the front panel 4 via snap fasteners 8. The recesses in the front panel 4 are therefore dimensioned according to standards. Therefore, a secure fit can always be guaranteed for the standard plug-in modules 2 and 14.

Die Zuleitungen 9 zu den Steckermodulen 2 und 14 werden durch den Schacht 3 aus der Adapterbox 1 herausgeführt. In den Schacht 3 ist das Formstück 10 aus kompressiblem Werkstoff eingepasst. Diese Abdichtung 10 weist einen Schlitz 12 für die Aufnahme der Zuleitungen 9 auf. Der Schlitz 12 zerteilt die Abdichtung 10 in zwei Hälften, die nur im Randbereich auf einer Seite miteinander verbunden bleiben. Auf diese Weise kann die Abdichtung 10 zur Montage auseinander geklappt, um die Zuleitungen herumgelegt und über die Zuleitungen in den Schacht 3 eingeschoben werden. Der Sicherungsfortsatz 13 verhindert, dass die Abdichtung 12 wieder aus dem Schacht 3 herausrutschen kann. Bedingt durch ihre Elastizität schmiegt sich die Abdichtung 10 sehr eng an die Innenwand des Schachts 3 und an den Umfang der Zuleitungen 9 an. Auf diese Weise wird sicher verhindert, dass Isolierschaum während des Ausschäumens in die Adapterbox 1 eindringt und die Steckermodule 2 und 14 beschädigt.The leads 9 to the plug modules 2 and 14 are led out through the slot 3 from the adapter box 1. In the shaft 3, the fitting 10 is fitted from compressible material. This seal 10 has a slot 12 for receiving the leads 9. The slot 12 divides the seal 10 in two halves, which remain connected only in the edge region on one side. In this way, the seal 10 can be unfolded for mounting, wrapped around the leads and inserted through the leads into the shaft 3. The securing extension 13 prevents the seal 12 from slipping out of the shaft 3 again. Due to its elasticity, the seal 10 hugs very closely against the inner wall of the shaft 3 and on the circumference of the leads 9. In this way, it is reliably prevented that insulating foam penetrates into the adapter box 1 during foaming and the plug modules 2 and 14 are damaged.

Bei der Montage wird die bereits mit den Steckermodulen 2 und 14 bestückte Adapterbox 1 von innen in die Öffnung der Außenschale geschoben. Dabei tritt der genau an die Form der Öffnung angepasste Frontrahmen 5 durch diese hindurch. Die Schnappverschlüsse 7 werden nach innen gedrückt, bis sie sich nach dem Durchtritt durch die Öffnung an der Außenseite der Außenschale wieder in ihre ursprüngliche Position zurückbewegen können. In dieser Stellung liegt der ringförmige Flansch 6 eng an der Innenseite der Außenschale an. Damit ist die Adapterbox 1 sicher in der Öffnung der Außenschale fixiert.During assembly, the already equipped with the connector modules 2 and 14 adapter box 1 is pushed from the inside into the opening of the outer shell. In this case, the exactly adapted to the shape of the opening front frame 5 passes through them. The snaps 7 are pushed inwardly until, after passing through the opening on the outside of the outer shell, they can move back to their original position. In this position, the annular flange 6 fits tightly against the inside of the outer shell. Thus, the adapter box 1 is securely fixed in the opening of the outer shell.

Beim Schäumen der Isolationsschicht drückt der Schaum von hinten auf die Adapterbox 1. Dies verstärkt den Druck des Flansches 6 auf die Innenseite der Außenschale, führt jedoch nicht dazu, dass sich die Adapterbox 1 aus ihrer Arretierung löst.When foaming the insulation layer, the foam pushes from behind on the adapter box 1. This enhances the pressure of the flange 6 on the inside of the outer shell, but does not cause the adapter box 1 releases from its lock.
