Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with a device outer wall and / or with the device interior closing door or flap.
  • the insulation of the refrigerator and / or freezer door in built-in appliances is carried out correspondingly strong in order to avoid condensation.
  • the door insulation must be performed so strong that would result in a relatively large loss of content in the device.
  • Another way to improve insulation is the use of vacuum panels.
  • vacuum panels have the disadvantage that they are relatively expensive and in the case of very small leaks lose their good insulating properties in the long term.
  • US 4 127 765 A discloses a refrigerator and / or freezer having all the features of the preamble of claim 1 of the invention.
  • the present invention is therefore the object of developing a refrigerator and / or freezer of the type mentioned in such a way that the occurrence of condensate reliably prevented or the probability of the occurrence of condensate is reliably reduced.
  • the door or flap has an outer wall and that the heating device is arranged on the inside and / or outside.
  • the heater can be provided in series use or be designed as a retrofit kit.
  • kits that consists of said heater or at least this. It is conceivable, for example, subsequently to apply the kit or the heater on the appliance door or flap or between the appliance door and furniture door.
  • the heater is conceivable, for example, to perform the heater as a film heater, which is glued to the outside of the door or door.
  • the type of heating is arbitrary. The same applies to their attachment.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention lies in a foil heater with a small thickness. If a device door and a furniture door are provided, this results in particular in the advantage that a minimum distance can be realized between the two doors.
  • the heating device is located on the inside of the door or flap, provision can be made for the heating device to be foamed in or adjacent to the foam.
  • the use of the heater is not limited to the door or flap of the device. It is conceivable that the condensation on the housing of the device should be prevented. Thus, it can be provided that the heating device is arranged on the inside and / or on the outside of the device outer wall. In this case, it may be useful to provide one or more heating devices there as well.
  • the heating power of the heater used in the invention can be relatively low, since this only has the task to ensure that the dew point is not exceeded as possible in the desired installation conditions.
  • the heating device is an electric heater.
  • the use of a film heater is provided, which requires a small mounting space.
  • a self-adhesive heater or a self-adhesive film heater is used, but any other form of heating or electric heating is used.
  • the device is in communication with a furniture door or flap and that the heating device is arranged in the region between the furniture door or flap and the appliance door or flap.
  • the heating device can be arranged on the appliance door or flap or on the furniture door or flap. It is also conceivable to arrange the heater in the space between two doors or flaps. It is crucial that the heating device is designed in such a way that said condensate formation in the region in question is completely or substantially prevented.
  • the heating device has at least one cable, in particular via a connection and / or sensor cable, and that the cable is guided over the hinge or hinges, by means of which / the door or flap of the device pivoted is.
  • the applicant's utility model application with the file number DE 20 2007 008 106.5 referenced the disclosure of which is the subject of the present invention. It is thus conceivable to guide the cable or cables in a suitable manner over the hinge, as a result of which the cable (s) is / are protected against jamming and damage even with extremely frequent actuation of the door or flap.
  • connection means in particular a socket for connecting the cable or cables are arranged on the body of the device.
  • connection means in particular a socket for connecting the cable or cables are arranged on the body of the device.
  • the device has a control or regulating device for operating the heater or a receptacle for such a control or regulating device. It is advantageous if a mounting option of the control or regulating device is already taken into account on the device side.
  • the control or regulating device may be designed such that it switches on the heating device as soon as the device is switched on. In this case, the heater will run with the unit turned on.
  • the heating power must be matched to the door or flap surface, on the one hand to ensure that the formation of condensate does not occur or only to a minor extent and on the other hand to avoid an unacceptably high heating of the device.
  • a temperature sensor is provided for determining a temperature actual value, and that the control or regulating device is designed such that it operates the heater such that the actual temperature value with the due to a comparison of the actual temperature value with a temperature setpoint or with a temperature setpoint range Temperature setpoint or is within the temperature setpoint range. It is conceivable, for example, that the temperature sensor is arranged on the outside of the door or flap or, for example, measures the temperature in the area between a furniture door or flap and the appliance door or flap.
  • the temperature sensor can of course also be arranged elsewhere. It is essential that by means of the measured actual temperature conclusions on the probability of the occurrence of condensate can be drawn, so that the heater can be controlled accordingly.
  • a temperature sensor for determining a Temperaturistives is provided on or in the range of the device and a temperature sensor for measuring the ambient temperature, and that the control or regulating device is designed such that they due to a comparison of Temperaturistagonist the Heating device operates.
  • the control or regulating device is designed such that they due to a comparison of Temperaturistagonist the Heating device operates.
  • the device when the device is designed with a sensor for determining the humidity and when the control or regulating device is designed such that it operates the heater due to the measured humidity is particularly advantageous.
  • This solution also allows an energy-optimized deployment of the heater. For example, it can be provided that the heater is operated at the lower power, the lower the humidity, since then decreases the probability of the occurrence of condensate.
  • control unit communicates with one or more humidity sensors as well as with one or more temperature sensors and operates the heater on the basis of combined actual values of humidity and temperature.
  • the heating device has one or more heating circuits. If there are several heating circuits, ie areas that can be operated with different heating power, it is possible to use the Adjust heating capacity differently for different areas of the device. It is conceivable, for example, to provide a greater heating power in the area with a greater likelihood of the occurrence of condensate than in other areas.
  • the refrigerator and / or freezer is a built-in appliance.
  • the invention is not limited to these devices.
  • the heater is optionally designed with their incoming and outgoing cables as a kit, which is subsequently mounted on an existing device.
  • This can also consist of a self-adhesive film heater, which is glued to the outside of the door. If the device is a built-in device, a minimal distance between the appliance door and the furniture door can be realized due to the small thickness of the foil heating.
  • the kit also includes a cable guide, which is subsequently attached to the device or on the hinge with a suitable cable guide and ensures positioning of the supplying or dissipating cable.
  • a corresponding plug-in option is provided on the device side. Also provided on the device side is the ability to install the control or regulating device. In these cases, a retrofitting of existing devices can thus be carried out in a simple manner.
  • a cooling device is designed as standard with an electric heater, which is a self-adhesive foil heating, which is prior to foaming of the door on the inner surface the outer door is attached. Then the door is filled with foam and provided with the inner door.
  • the supply line of the electric heater is guided via a bushing or the like from the insulating foam to the outside and passed over a corresponding cable guide on the hinge to the cabinet housing.
  • the electric heater is not connected to a control electronics, but only with a power supply that operates the electric heater permanently or in response to certain operating conditions, such as depending on whether the device is turned on.
  • control device in the device, by means of which the heating power or the temperature is controlled at the points of the device in which is to be expected with the greatest likelihood of condensation. It can be provided that the temperature of the environment and / or the device surface, preferably the door surface, is measured and connected via an electrical or mechanical thermostat according to this temperature, the electric heater is switched on or off or their performance is adjusted. In this way, it can be achieved, for example, that the temperature is kept constant in the stated range or is always in a desired value range.
  • the use of a humidity sensor is also conceivable, it being possible for the heating device to be switched on or off or its power to be regulated on the basis of the measured moisture value.
  • control and regulation of the heating device can be realized independently of whether it is a series solution from the outset used heater or a retrofit kit with subsequently attached heater is.
