Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to cooling appliances, and in particular to cooling appliances comprising a device for controlling humidity in the vegetable compartment.
- There are known cooling appliances that incorporate means in the vegetable compartment for adjusting the level of humidity inside the compartment.
-
JP 05302781 -
JP 2001091144 - It is the object of this invention to provide a vegetable compartment with an optimal level of humidity in order to guarantee improved preservation of the foods inside the cooling appliance, as defined in the claims.
- The vegetable compartment of the invention incorporates a device for controlling humidity. Said device comprises:
- a housing in which is disposed a hygroscopic material, and
- at least one humidity transfer wall for transferring humidity between said material and at least part of the inside of the compartment.
- Said hygroscopic material and said humidity transfer wall are disposed in a substantially vertical position. In addition, the hygroscopic material is in contact with a water tank, which thus guarantees that the hygroscopic material always contains a sufficient level of humidity and may thus release it into the vegetable compartment.
- These and other advantages and characteristics of the invention will be made evident in the light of the drawings and the detailed description thereof.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of thevegetable compartment 100 for a cooling appliance that incorporates adevice 1 for controlling humidity. Said device comprises: - a housing in which is disposed a hygroscopic material, and
- at least one
humidity transfer wall 9 for transferring humidity between said material and at least part of the inside of the compartment. - The hygroscopic material and the
humidity transfer wall 9 are disposed in a substantially vertical position, where the hygroscopic material is in contact with a water tank. - In the embodiment shown in the figures, the
humidity control device 1 is built into a divider, in other words, saiddevice 1 is configured in such a way that it also performs the function of a conventional vegetable compartment divider. Other arrangements are also possible, however, such as those in which thehumidity control device 1 is built into some of the side walls or even in the front of thecompartment 100. - The hygroscopic material used can be any insoluble material with humidity-absorption properties. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the hygroscopic material used is a superabsorbent polymer, such as a polyacrylate polymer, which is disposed inside a permeable fabric bag 10 that is located, as shown in
Figure 3 , between thetransfer walls 9. In the embodiment of the invention, an antibacterial agent is added in the fabric of the permeable bag. - Preferably, as shown in
Figure 3 , thewater tank 8 is located in the base of thehumidity control device 1, and is situated beneath the hygroscopic material. As a result, as the hygroscopic material is in contact with thewater tank 8, the hygroscopic material always contains a sufficient level of humidity and may thus release it inside thecompartment 100. - Said
water tank 8 comprises an enclosedarea 11 in which is disposed one end of the hygroscopic material, said enclosedarea 11 being separated from the rest of thewater tank 8 by means of a wall with a plurality ofgrooves 13. These grooves are shown inFigure 5 . - The
humidity control device 1 of the invention also comprises abase body 6 which also comprisesholes 14, shown in detail inFigure 6 . When thebase body 6 and thewater tank 8 are assembled, thegrooves 13 and theholes 14 are positioned at par, as shown in detail inFigure 6 . As a result, this embodiment can regulate and control the passage of water from thewater tank 8 to the enclosedarea 11 and guarantees a contact between the water and the lower surface of the hygroscopic material. - The hygroscopic material, which is in contact with the
water tank 8, and more specifically with the water contained in the enclosedarea 11, absorbs the water from the enclosedarea 11, with the result that it can release said humidity through holes disposed in thetransfer wall 9. As stated above, it is possible to use any hygroscopic material that is capable of absorbing water from thewater tank 8 and transfer it into thecompartment 100. Using a superabsorbent polymer can get also, when necessary, that said superabsorbent polymer absorbs humidity from the inside of thecompartment 100 through thetransfer wall 9. - The
humidity control device 1 also comprises an inlet pipe for filling thewater tank 8.Figure 4 shows a cross-section of it. Water is supplied to thehumidity control device 1 using adispenser cup 2, which is housed with its mouth facing down on the inlet pipe. The water is poured on to a funnel 3, which is housed on a filter holder 5. The funnel 3 has holes disposed in its lower part, these also being partly visible inFigure 4 , to allow the water to pass to the filter holder 5. The water is filtered in said filter holder 5, where an organic material 16, also shown inFigure 4 , is deposited previously to ensure the quality of the water. As a result, there is no need to use treated or distilled water in order not to damage the hygroscopic material of thehumidity control device 1. The filter holder 5 in the lower part is also disposed with holes (not shown in the drawings) to allow the water to pass into thewater tank 8. - In the embodiment of
Figure 4 , a permeable element 4 is positioned in both the lower part and the top part of the filter holder 5, in order to keep the organic material 16 inside the filter holder 5 as shown inFigure 5 . As a result, the organic material 16 is retained inside the filter holder 5. - The
humidity control device 1 of the invention also comprises alevel gauge 7, shown inFigures 2 and7 . Saidlevel gauge 7 is supported on an auxiliarypermeable fabric bag 15 as shown inFigure 7 , which contains hygroscopic material in its interior and is located in an enclosedarea 12, shown inFigure 5 , which contains water from thewater tank 8. In a preferred embodiment the word "OK" is included in the top part of thelevel gauge 7. - The variation in the volume of the hygroscopic material that is inside the auxiliary
permeable bag 15 is proportional to the amount of water supplied to thewater tank 8. As a result, when said hygroscopic material absorbs water from the enclosedarea 12, it swells up and increases in height. Thelevel gauge 7 moves in a vertical direction pushed by the auxiliarypermeable bag 15. When the "OK" on thelevel gauge 7 is in a higher position, it means that thehumidity control device 1 of the invention is sufficiently hydrated and may thus provide the vegetable compartment with the necessary humidity to ensure the food is kept in optimum humidity conditions. - When the "OK" on the
level gauge 7 is in a lower position it means that thehumidity control device 1 ofFigure 2 is not sufficiently hydrated, which means that it must be supplied with more water using thedispenser cup 2 ofFigure 2 . - The
humidity control device 1 of the invention comprises two substantially vertical dividing walls that delimit the housing of the hygroscopic material as shown inFigure 3 . In a preferred embodiment, both dividing walls arehumidity transfer walls 9. However, other embodiments are possible, such as one of said dividing walls being used as thehumidity transfer wall 9. - The
humidity control device 1 of the invention can be extracted, thereby making it easier to maintain and clean.
