Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator, in no-frost construction.
- a no-frost refrigeration device conventionally comprises at least one storage chamber for refrigerated goods and an evaporator chamber, in which an evaporator and a fan are accommodated.
- the fan serves to drive an air circuit passing through the storage chamber and the evaporator chamber, by which the storage chamber is cooled.
- Most storage chamber and evaporator chamber of such a device are surrounded by a common housing, whose interior is divided by an intermediate wall in the evaporator chamber and storage chamber.
- a no-frost refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 is for example from the DE-U1-20 2005 014 370 known.
- Moisture which is entered together with the refrigerated goods or by opening the door in the refrigerator, should only precipitate on the evaporator, because at a time when the evaporator and fan are out of service, the evaporator can defrost and precipitated moisture from him be derived from the device, without this leading to a noticeable heating of the refrigerated goods in the storage chamber.
- leakage air affects the energy efficiency of the refrigerator because, on the one hand, the drive energy of the fan used to draw the leakage air does not contribute to the cooling of the storage chamber and, on the other hand, to achieve a desired temperature in the storage compartment, the evaporator must be cooled to a lower temperature the more the leakage air flow is.
- the object is achieved by providing in a no-frost refrigeration device with at least one storage chamber for refrigerated goods and an evaporator chamber containing an evaporator and a fan for driving a running through the storage chamber and the evaporator chamber air circulation, wherein the evaporator chamber is at least a two-part housing has, the first housing part at least locally has a resilient surface and a molded on the second housing part rib is sealingly pressed into the resilient surface.
- the second housing part is an intermediate wall which separates the evaporator chamber from the storage chamber.
- the compliant surface may be part of a common housing or mounted on a common housing surrounding the bearing chamber and evaporator chamber.
- the resilient surface may expediently be part of a lining element which is attached to the inner container on the inside.
- the resilient surface preferably consists of a closed-cell foam, in particular of expanded polystyrene (EPS).
- EPS expanded polystyrene
- the second housing part can be formed, for example, by a flexible layer glued into the inner container. Preferably, however, it is considered a rigid, one-piece Molded part carried out, since such a shaped part of a wall contour of the second housing part can be reproduced more accurately than the - formed generally by deep drawing - inner container.
- the rib should expediently seal at least one gap of the evaporator chamber, which is fluidly between the evaporator and the fan.
- a socket for the fan can be conveniently formed on the second housing part.
- the rib may then expediently extend around an intake opening of the fan formed in the second housing part.
- Fig.1 shows a schematic partial section through the housing of a combination refrigerator with an upper and a lower storage compartment 1 and 2.
- the walls of the refrigerator have a known construction with a solid outer skin 3, which may consist of different materials, depending on whether it is a built-in or a stand device, to a side wall or a rear wall 4 acts, a deep-drawn plastic sheet material inner container 5 and 6 and enclosed between the outer skin 3 and inner container 5 insulating material layer. 7
- an undercut 8 is formed, which extends to near the front edge of the ceiling.
- This undercut 8 is on a large part of its surface by a shell-like molded part 9 of closed-cell foam, in particular EPS, lined; only a back wall near the edge of the ceiling is recessed. This in Fig.
- FIG. 2 in a perspective view obliquely from below shaped part 9 consists to a large extent of a flat plate 10, the top of which rests against the ceiling of the inner container 6 and which is surrounded at its edges by four downwardly directed webs, of which the front web 11 and lateral ridges 12 of the shape of a front edge of the undercut 8 and a rounding between the ceiling and side walls of the inner container 6 following obliquely, while a distance from the rear wall 4 rear web 13 is vertically aligned.
- the rear web 13 is bisected by a central circular arc-shaped recess 14.
- the recess 14 extends into the central planar plate 10 of the molded part 9.
- the cutting plane of the Fig. 1 passes through the recess 14.
- Fig. 3 shows a schematic perspective view of a plastic injection-molded evaporator shell 15, which is provided to form a housing for an evaporator 16 together with the molded part 9.
- inlet openings 18 are formed, can pass through the air from the storage chamber 2 into the evaporator housing.
- a suction port 19 for a in Fig. 3 not shown fan 21 is formed.
- the fan 21 is provided to be plugged into a socket which is formed by an externally formed on the rear wall 20, the suction port 19 surrounding annular ridge 22.
- the diameter of the web 22 is greater than the height of the actual evaporator shell, and sections 23, 24 of the web 22 engage up over the otherwise horizontal upper edges of the front and rear walls 17, 20 and Side walls 25 of the evaporator shell 15 upwards or below a bottom 26 of the shell down.
- the recess 14 of the molding 9 is provided to receive a part of the upwardly projecting portion 23.
- Evaporator 16 shown schematically as a transparent cuboid is arranged in shell 15 such that it fills the entire free cross-section of the evaporator housing formed by shell 15 and molding 9 and forces air that flows through the evaporator chamber from inlet openings 18 to suction opening 19 to pass the evaporator 16, being cooled and dried.
- Fig. 5 shows an enlarged section through a rear upper corner of the inner container 6 and a part of the rear wall with the suction opening formed therein 19. It can be clearly seen a stepped course of the edge portion 23, with a rear portion of large diameter 29, from the ceiling of the inner container 6 is separated only by a narrow gap 30, and a front portion 31 of smaller diameter.
- the diameter of the front portion 31 must be chosen to be sufficiently smaller than that of the rear portion 29 to fit into the space between the front portion 31 and the top of the inner container 6, an edge portion 32 of the molding 9, the strength of which is sufficient not to break in the case of assembly, when the rib 28 arranged at the front region 31 cuts into the edge section 32.
- the rib 28 need not be limited to the portion 23, but may extend over other areas of the upper edge of the evaporator shell 15. In general, however, the rib 28 will not extend past the evaporator 16 because a leak between the mold 9 and bowl 15 upstream of the evaporator 16 has no effect on the tendency of the fan to freeze and can be tolerated.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät, insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät, in No-Frost-Bauweise.The present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator, in no-frost construction.
Ein No-Frost-Kältegerät umfasst herkömmlicherweise wenigstens eine Lagerkammer für Kühlgut und eine Verdampferkammer, in der ein Verdampfer und ein Ventilator untergebracht sind. Der Ventilator dient zum Antreiben eines durch die Lagerkammer und die Verdampferkammer verlaufenden Luftkreislaufs, durch den die Lagerkammer gekühlt wird. Meist sind Lagerkammer und Verdampferkammer eines solchen Geräts von einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse umgeben, dessen Innenraum durch eine Zwischenwand in Verdampferkammer und Lagerkammer unterteilt ist. Ein No-Frost-Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist z.B. aus der
Ein Problem kann auftreten, wenn der Weg der Luft zwischen Lagerkammer und Verdampferkammer nicht genau genug definiert ist. Idealerweise sollte aus der Lagerkammer angesaugte Luft in der Verdampferkammer vollständig am Verdampfer vorbeigeführt werden, um sie am Verdampfer zu entfeuchten und zu verhindern, dass Restfeuchtigkeit am Ventilator auskondensiert. Im Falle einer unzureichenden Abdichtung zwischen Verdampferkammer und Lagerkammer kann jedoch der Fall auftreten, dass Leckluft aus der Lagerkammer durch Spalten zwischen Trennwand und Gehäuse unmittelbar in einen Zwischenraum der Verdampferkammer eingesaugt wird, der strömungsmäßig zwischen dem Verdampfer und dem Ventilator liegt. Die relativ warme und feuchte Leckluft vermischt sich in dem Zwischenraum mit am Verdampfer abgekühlter Luft. Durch die Abkühlung kann die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit auf über 100% ansteigen, mit der Folge, dass sich an weiter stromabwärts liegenden Oberflächen Reif niederschlägt. Wenn sich zu viel Reif am Ventilator sammelt, kann der Ventilator festfrieren, was zur Folge hat, dass die Lagerkammer nicht mehr gekühlt werden kann.A problem can occur if the path of the air between the storage chamber and the evaporator chamber is not defined precisely enough. Ideally, air drawn in from the storage chamber should be led completely past the evaporator in the evaporator chamber in order to dehumidify it on the evaporator and to prevent residual moisture from condensing out on the fan. In the case of insufficient sealing between the evaporator chamber and the bearing chamber, however, it may happen that leakage air from the bearing chamber is sucked through gaps between the partition wall and the housing directly into an intermediate space of the evaporator chamber, which lies in the flow between the evaporator and the fan. The relatively warm and moist air leakage mixes in the interspace with air cooled on the evaporator. By cooling, the relative humidity can rise to over 100%, with the result that frost precipitates on more downstream surfaces. If too much frost accumulates on the fan, the fan may freeze, with the result that the storage chamber can no longer be cooled.
Darüber hinaus beeinträchtigt Leckluft die Energieeffizienz des Kältegeräts, da einerseits die zum Ansaugen der Leckluft aufgewandte Antriebsenergie des Ventilators nicht zur Kühlung der Lagerkammer beiträgt und andererseits zum Erzielen einer gewünschten Temperatur in der Lagerkammer der Verdampfer auf eine um so niedrigere Temperatur abgekühlt werden muss, je stärker der Leckluftstrom ist.In addition, leakage air affects the energy efficiency of the refrigerator because, on the one hand, the drive energy of the fan used to draw the leakage air does not contribute to the cooling of the storage chamber and, on the other hand, to achieve a desired temperature in the storage compartment, the evaporator must be cooled to a lower temperature the more the leakage air flow is.
Es ist daher wünschenswert, ein No-Frost-Kältegerät von vornherein so zu konstruieren, dass die vom Ventilator angesaugte Leckluftmenge auf ein Minimum beschränkt bleibt.It is therefore desirable to design a no-frost refrigerator from the outset in such a way that the amount of leakage air taken in by the fan is kept to a minimum.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem bei einem No-Frost-Kältegerät mit wenigstens einer Lagerkammer für Kühlgut und einer Verdampferkammer, die einen Verdampfer und einen Ventilator zum Antreiben eines durch die Lagerkammer und die Verdampferkammer verlaufenden Luftkreislaufs enthält, bei dem die Verdampferkammer ein wenigstens zweiteiliges Gehäuse aufweist, das erste Gehäuseteil wenigstens lokal eine nachgiebige Oberfläche aufweist und eine am zweiten Gehäuseteil angeformte Rippe dichtend in die nachgiebige Oberfläche eingedrückt ist.The object is achieved by providing in a no-frost refrigeration device with at least one storage chamber for refrigerated goods and an evaporator chamber containing an evaporator and a fan for driving a running through the storage chamber and the evaporator chamber air circulation, wherein the evaporator chamber is at least a two-part housing has, the first housing part at least locally has a resilient surface and a molded on the second housing part rib is sealingly pressed into the resilient surface.
Vorzugsweise ist das zweite Gehäuseteil eine Zwischenwand, die die Verdampferkammer von der Lagerkammer trennt.Preferably, the second housing part is an intermediate wall which separates the evaporator chamber from the storage chamber.
Die nachgiebige Oberfläche hingegen kann Teil eines gemeinsamen Gehäuses sein bzw. an einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse montiert sein, das Lagerkammer und Verdampferkammer umgibt.The compliant surface, however, may be part of a common housing or mounted on a common housing surrounding the bearing chamber and evaporator chamber.
Wenn in an sich bekannter Weise die Lagerkammer und die Verdampferkammer von einem gemeinsamen Innenbehälter begrenzt ist, kann die nachgiebige Oberfläche zweckmäßigerweise Teil eines Verkleidungselements sein, das an dem Innenbehälter innenseitig angebracht ist.If, in a manner known per se, the storage chamber and the evaporator chamber are delimited by a common inner container, the resilient surface may expediently be part of a lining element which is attached to the inner container on the inside.
Die nachgiebige Oberfläche besteht vorzugsweise aus einem geschlossenporigen Schaumstoff, insbesondere aus expandiertem Polystyrol (EPS).The resilient surface preferably consists of a closed-cell foam, in particular of expanded polystyrene (EPS).
Das zweite Gehäuseteil kann zum Beispiel durch eine in den Innenbehälter eingeklebte flexible Schicht gebildet sein. Vorzugsweise jedoch ist es als ein steifes, einstückiges Formteil ausgeführt, da ein solches Formteil einer Wandkontur des zweiten Gehäuseteils exakter nachgebildet werden kann als der - im Allgemeinen durch Tiefziehen geformte - Innenbehälter.The second housing part can be formed, for example, by a flexible layer glued into the inner container. Preferably, however, it is considered a rigid, one-piece Molded part carried out, since such a shaped part of a wall contour of the second housing part can be reproduced more accurately than the - formed generally by deep drawing - inner container.
Wenn der Ventilator stromabwärts vom Verdampfer angeordnet ist, sollte die Rippe zweckmäßigerweise wenigstens einen Zwischenraum der Verdampferkammer abdichten, der strömungsmäßig zwischen dem Verdampfer und dem Ventilator liegt.If the fan is located downstream of the evaporator, the rib should expediently seal at least one gap of the evaporator chamber, which is fluidly between the evaporator and the fan.
Eine Fassung für den Ventilator kann zweckmäßigerweise am zweiten Gehäuseteil gebildet sein. Die Rippe kann sich dann zweckmäßigerweise um eine in dem zweiten Gehäuseteil gebildete Ansaugöffnung des Ventilators herum erstrecken.A socket for the fan can be conveniently formed on the second housing part. The rib may then expediently extend around an intake opening of the fan formed in the second housing part.

Leckluft, die vom Ventilator 21 angesaugt wird, ohne den Verdampfer 16 passiert zu haben und sich in einem Zwischenraum 27 zwischen dem Verdampfer 16 und der Rückwand 20 mit Kaltluft aus dem Verdampfer 16 mischt, könnte eine Vereisung des Ventilators 21 bewirken. Es ist daher wichtig, insbesondere in der Umgebung des Zwischenraums 27 dafür zu sogen, dass die Ränder des Formteils 9 und der Verdampferschale 15 dicht aneinander anliegen. Um dies insbesondere im Bereich des Abschnitts 23 zu gewährleisten, ist an diesem eine scharfkantige, radial nach außen abstehende Rippe 28 angeformt, die sich, wenn beim Zusammenbau des Kältegeräts die Verdampferschale 15 gegen das Formteil 9 gepresst wird, in Höhe der Aussparung 14 schneidend in das Formteil 9 eindrückt.Leakage air sucked in by the
