Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household refrigerator with a storage chamber and an evaporator, which is arranged in the interior of the storage chamber.
  • household refrigerators with plate evaporators especially so-called coldwall devices were common in the recent past.
  • an evaporator is arranged on the outside of an inner container and, if in the course of manufacture the inner container is surrounded by an insulating material layer, embedded in the insulating material.
  • the production of a Coldwall device is simple and inexpensive, since it is sufficient to glue the evaporator to the outside of the inner container, and no tight positioning tolerances must be met.
  • a disadvantage of this design is that the evaporator can only absorb heat from the storage chamber at one of its two main surfaces and, moreover, heat transfer from the storage chamber to the evaporator is affected by the non-vanishing thermal resistance of the intermediate inner container wall and adhesive layer.
  • a collecting channel is formed in refrigerators with Coldwall evaporator conventionally on the cooled wall below the evaporator, in which collects downflowing water, and of the lowest point of which is passed through a conduit through the wall of the device, through which the condensed water can flow to a arranged outside the storage chamber evaporation tank.
  • the evaporator In an effort to develop refrigerators with optimum efficiency, device types are increasingly being considered in which the evaporator is disposed within the storage chamber and separated from an adjacent wall by a gap.
  • the efficiency of such an evaporator is inherently greater than that of a coldwall evaporator because the internal evaporator can absorb heat from the storage chamber over its entire surface and there are no insulating layers between the evaporator and the storage chamber.
  • a problem of the internal evaporator is the discharge of condensed water. It is basically possible, in a similar way as in To form a collecting channel below the evaporator of a coldwall device, but the condensation can not gradually flow along the wall in the collecting channel, but it can only drop in from above.
  • the collecting channel In order to catch the dripping water, the collecting channel must be wider than the space between the evaporator and the adjacent wall. If the drip height is too large, a portion of the water from the collection channel injected again and moistened adjacent deposited refrigerated goods. The space between the lower edge of the evaporator and the gutter is not usable because of the dripping water there to accommodate refrigerated goods.
  • a device for cooling a cabinet in which a plate-shaped evaporator is mounted on a mounting plate spaced by a gap.
  • a collecting rail for condensate draining from the evaporator is fastened to the mounting plate at the level of the lower edge of the evaporator.
  • the collecting rail blocks the lower end of the intermediate space so that cold air remains trapped in the intermediate space and the heat exchanger can absorb heat essentially only on one side.
  • the advantage that the freely mounted evaporator could have over a coldwall evaporator is thus nullified by the collection rail.
  • US 5 457 603 A describes a device for cooling an electronic board with a plate-shaped, the electronics board on both sides surrounding evaporator and a collecting rail for condensed water, in which the lower edge of the evaporator dips.
  • US 2005/138954 A describes a household refrigerator with a block-shaped finned evaporator and a fan. An airflow driven by the fan is deflected downwardly in a space between the finned evaporator and the rear wall of the appliance. Under the finned evaporator a spaced from the rear wall collecting rail for condensed water is arranged.
  • JP 2001-248953 A discloses a commercial refrigeration appliance having a wall-mounted catcher rail. If above the collecting rail a plate-shaped evaporator would be spaced from the wall by a gap, the collecting rail not spaced from the wall would be as in the device DE 198 42 561 A block the air circulation through the gap.
  • DE 11 01 456 B discloses a refrigeration appliance according to the preamble of claim 1, and describes a household refrigerator with a arranged in a storage chamber and from a rear wall of the storage chamber through a gap spaced evaporator and extending under the evaporator collecting rail for condensed water, with the rear wall through a through the rear wall extending drainage pipe is connected.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a domestic refrigerator with internal evaporator, which allows optimal use of space and eliminates the problem of splashing.
  • a refrigeration device with the features of claim 1.
  • Under domestic refrigeration appliance is a refrigeration appliance understood that is used for household management, such as a refrigerator or achengefrierkombination.
  • the collecting rail is attached to the evaporator, in particular by a snap connection.
  • other types of attachment are possible, such as screw, adhesive or formations.
  • the collecting rail need not be considered in the manufacture of an inner container for the refrigeration device, and existing models of inner containers can be used cost-effectively for the refrigeration device according to the invention.
  • the width of the gap should be at least half as large as that of the gap.
  • the first web preferably unconnected touches the side wall.
  • the water can seep in direct contact with the side wall between this and the end of the web, thereby ensuring that it instead of dripping , flows in contact with the wall downwards.
  • the channel may expediently comprise two branches sloping down to the first bridge.
  • a second and a third land may each extend between one of the branches and the wall to stabilize the position of the collection rail relative to the wall.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of an inventive household refrigerator with a body 1 and a door 2, which delimit a storage chamber 3.
  • a plate evaporator 5 is mounted at a small distance from this.
  • a collecting rail 6 is suspended for condensate dripping from the evaporator 5.
  • the plastic injection-molded collection rail 6 has two of a median plane of the body 1 from obliquely upwardly diverging branches 7, of which in the view of Fig. 1 a large part of a side wall of the body 1 is hidden.
  • the evaporator 5 fills the rear wall 4 only about halfway in an upper area thereof.
  • a collecting channel 8 is formed familiar in the expert of Coldwall refrigerators forth, from the lowest point of a line is guided through the rear wall 4 to condensate water from the collecting channel 8 (not shown) in evaporation tray to supply a machine room filling the rear lower corner of the carcass.
  • the collecting rail 6 is anchored to the evaporator 5 by means of two integrally formed arms 9.
  • Fig. 2 shows a vertical section through the collecting rail 6, the lower portion of the evaporator 5 and an adjacent piece of the rear wall 4 in a plane passing through one of the arms 9 cutting plane.
  • a detent opening 10 is cut adjacent to its lower edge.
  • Two fingers 11 at the tip of the arm 9 surround the evaporator 5 at the front and rear, wherein a detent 12 of the front finger 11 engages in the latching opening 10. Since the front finger 11 remains accessible after attachment of the collecting rail 6, it can easily be removed again if necessary, by the finger 11 is bent so far that the latch 12 disengages from the opening 10.
  • the collecting rail 6 has a channel-like cross-section with a shot bottom, the lowest point of which lies vertically below the lower edge of the plate evaporator 5. In order to be able to reliably catch drops falling from the evaporator 5, the rail 6 must approach closer to the rear wall 4 than the evaporator 5 does. However, in order not to interfere with a free air circulation through a gap 13 between the rear wall 4 and the evaporator 5, the distance d of the collecting rail 6 from the rear wall 4 is not less than half the width D of the gap thirteenth
  • Fig. 4 shows a plan view of a collecting rail 6 according to a slightly modified embodiment. It is different from the one related to Fig. 1 to 3 described by the presence of two additional webs 15, each extending between the branches 7 and the rear wall 4.
  • the webs 15 may be shaped so that condensation from higher, outer regions of the branches 7 flows over them to the rear wall 4, but they can also serve only by their contact to stabilize the alignment of the collecting rail 6 parallel to the rear wall 4 with the rear wall 4 and to prevent the collecting rail 6 in contact with pushed against refrigerated goods in an inclined position, could drip in the condensate from the evaporator 5 to the rail 6.
  • FIG. 5 shows one too Fig. 1 analogous view of a refrigeration device with such a side-leading collecting rail 16.
  • This collecting rail 16 is evenly sloping over the entire width of the rear wall 4 out.
  • the lower end of the collecting rail 16 can be seen.
  • a branch 17 angled towards the rear wall 4 contacts the side wall 18 of the body 1, and as indicated by a dashed line along the collection rail 16, the bottom profile of the rail 16 is shaped such that the water reaches a lowest point 19 in contact with the side wall 18 tends. This lowest point 19 is above the collecting channel 8, which catches the water flowing down.
