Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a domestic refrigerator, with at least one chamber and a fan mounted therein.
  • Fans are used in domestic refrigeration appliances in various installation situations, for example for driving air circulation in a storage chamber, for air circulation between a storage chamber and an evaporator chamber, etc.
  • the direction in which the fan is to blow is usually clearly defined in each refrigeration appliance model, but may vary from model to model.
  • the fan is installed adjacent to an edge between two inner walls of a chamber so that, depending on the direction of rotation, it generates either an air flow directed against one of these walls or an air flow directed away from this wall.
  • a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 is made WO 2009/000717 known.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with at least one mounted on a frame in a chamber of the refrigerator fan, which allows the use of a single frame regardless of a desired direction of rotation of the fan while still precluding assembly of the fan with the wrong direction of rotation.
  • the object is achieved in that in a refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigeration appliance, with at least one chamber, at least one fan and mounted in the at least one chamber, the fan receiving serving as a support frame of the fan in the frame in two different orientations can be placed and a connected to the fan electrical contact element in the first orientation of the fan only in a first Mounting space of the frame and in the second orientation of the fan can be mounted only in a second mounting location of the frame.
  • a correct attachment of the electrical contact element connected to the fan in the mounting positions of the frame can be reliably ensured that in the first orientation of the fan, the length of a cable connecting the contact element with a connection point on the fan is smaller than the distance between the connection point and the first mounting place, while in the second orientation, the length of the cable is smaller than the distance between the connection point and the second mounting place.
  • the contact element can be mounted in each case only in that mounting station, which is the connection point closest, and this is depending on the orientation of the fan in the frame another.
  • the two assembly stations can expediently be arranged in mirror image to one another on both sides of a receiving compartment for the fan on the frame.
  • the contact elements are preferably connectors which are directly contactable by mounting the frame to the wall of the chamber.
  • the frame in the wall is preferably fastened via at least one screw adjacent to the complementary electrical contact element.
  • the screw is oriented parallel to the insertion direction of the connector, so that by tightening the screw and the connectors can be brought into contact with each other.
  • the two points of the inner container, to which the complementary electrical contact element may be attached are expediently designed as synchrondom.
  • Such a screw dome can be conveniently formed by deep drawing in one operation with the walls of the chamber.
  • the complementary electrical contact element is preferably arranged on an end face of the screw dome to allow production of the contact by tightening the screw.
  • the complementary electrical contact element has a recess, in the projection of which engages the contact element connected to the fan.
  • a recess is missing at the point of the wall at which no complementary electrical contact element is present, prevents the case of a false assembly of the projection of the contact element connected to the fan that the frame reaches a desired mounting position, so that a possible incorrect assembly immediately noticeable.
  • the projection and the recess may in particular be an electrical plug pin and a plug socket complementary to the plug pin.
  • the benefit of the invention is particularly evident in a refrigerator with at least two fans and storage chambers.
  • the direction of the fans is the same or different, depending on whether the complementary electrical contact elements are arranged in the two storage chambers the same or different.
  • Fig. 1 shows a fan assembly according to the invention in an exploded perspective view. It comprises a fan 1 and a molded plastic frame 2.
  • the fan 1 is of a known type, with a flat cuboid frame 3, in which extends between the two main square surfaces of a cylindrical passage 4, one mounted in the passage 4 Paddle wheel 5 and a housed in a hub 6 of the paddle wheel 5 drive motor.
  • a supply cable of the motor passes through a hub connecting the hub 6 with the frame 3 spoke 7 and occurs at a junction 8 at a recessed corner of the frame 3 to the outside.
  • a cable piece 9, the length of which is significantly smaller than the edge length of the frame 3, extends between the connection point 8 and a plug 10.
  • the frame 2 has essentially the shape of a one-sided, preferably top, open box, through the open side of the fan 1 in a compartment 11 of the frame is inserted.
  • the dimensions of compartment 11 and frame 3 are adapted to each other so that the fan 1 is frictionally held in the frame 2, wherein optionally buffer layers between the frame 3 and the insides of the compartment 11 may be provided.
  • Both side walls each carry a rearwardly open projection 14, in the front side of a screw opening 15 is recessed.
  • An upwardly and rearwardly open recess 16 at the top of each projection 14 is sized to receive the plug 10 with male pins 17 projecting rearward, in which the in Fig. 1 shown orientation of the fan 1, the length of the cable piece 9 allows attachment of the plug 10 only in the right-hand recess 16.
  • the fan 1 In order to be able to place the plug 10 in the left-hand recess, the fan 1 would have to be rotated by 180 ° about a vertical axis, whereby the direction of the air flow generated by it would be reversed.
  • Fig. 2 shows the assembly of fan 1 and frame 2 in the assembled state in front of a piece of an inner container of a refrigerator.
  • the inner container formed by deep-drawing in the manner known to the person skilled in the art, has a cover 18, a rear wall 19 and two screw domes 20 formed on an edge between cover 18 and rear wall 19 and projecting into the inner container.
  • the screw domes 20 correspond to the distance between the projections 14 arranged the frame 2, so that the frame 2 can be screwed to the screw 20 dome.
  • a connector 22 is inserted with complementary to the pins 17 sockets 23 in an opening of the inner container.
  • Fig. 3 shows a partial section of the inner container along a depthwise extending plane passing through one of the screw 20 dome.
  • a pre-formed at a lower portion of the frame 2 pivot axis 24 is here not shown in detail mounted manner in a bearing on the rear wall 19, so that the fan assembly can be pivoted about this axis 24 in an upright position in which the side walls 12 of the frame 2 tightly nestle against the ceiling 18 and the rear wall 19 of the inner container.
  • the frame 2 is fixed by two screws 25 which extend through the projections 14 and engage in the screw holes 21. By tightening the screws 25, the plug pins 17 are pressed into the sockets 23 of the connector 22.
  • Fig. 6 shows a schematic front view of a body of a combination refrigerator according to the present invention.
  • the body 26 two chambers 27, 28 are formed, and in each there are two screw domes 20 at an edge between the ceiling and the rear wall.
  • a connector 22 is mounted on the left screw dome 20 respectively.
  • this two chambers 27, 28 mounted fans therefore have the same direction.
  • both generate a directed against the rear wall 19 air flow, for example, to suck air through a not shown here, arranged in front of the fan evaporator.
  • Fig. 7 shows an analogous view of a body, in which the connector 22 of the lower chamber 28 is arranged in the right screw dome 20. While here a mounted in the upper chamber 27 fan continues to generate a directed against the back wall airflow, the fan of the chamber 28 blows to from.
