Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator with an electric valve, in particular with an electric water valve.
- an electric valve in particular with an electric water valve.
- electrical valves are often used, which
- Known electrical valves typically include electrically energizable coils and valve pistons which are reciprocable in response to coil-generated fields. To generate the field, an excitation signal is usually applied to the coil, whereupon the valve piston is moved, for example, in the direction of a valve seat and the electric valve closes. However, it may happen that the water moves the valve piston, for example by vibrations, which can lead to leakage of the water valve in its closed state.
- a refrigeration device Under a refrigeration device is in particular a household refrigeration appliance understood, ie a refrigeration appliance for household management in households or possibly in the
- catering area is used, and in particular serves to store food and / or drinks in household quantities at certain temperatures, such as a refrigerator, a freezer or aissergefrierkombination.
- the refrigeration device has a water connection, for example for an icemaker or for a water dispenser.
- the present invention is based on the finding that the tightness of a
- closed valve for example, by a constant tracking of a valve piston of the electric valve against a valve seat in a closed state in which the valve is closed, can be increased.
- This can be with an electric valve
- an electric valve For example, be realized in that the electric valve in the
- the invention relates to a refrigeration device with an electric valve, which can be converted into a closed state in response to a closing signal.
- the refrigeration device comprises a valve driver unit which is designed to apply a sequence of closing signals to the electric valve in the closed state in order to increase the tightness of the electric valve.
- closed state refers to that state of the electrical valve in which a fluid flow, for example a water flow, is prevented by the electric valve.
- a coil of the electric valve to produce as a series of excitation signals, for example, a periodic field that periodically tracks a valve piston against a valve seat of the electric valve.
- Valve driver unit may further be configured to transfer the valve by means of an opening signal in an open state in which a fluid flow is enabled by the electric valve.
- the electric valve comprises a valve piston for sealing a valve seat of the electric valve, wherein the valve piston in the closing state in response to the sequence of closing signals in the direction of
- Valve seat is trackable.
- the valve piston for example, continuously pressed against the valve seat, whereby a higher tightness is achieved in the closed state of the electric valve.
- the sequence of closing signals is a pulse train, for example a rectangular pulse train, which may be periodic.
- the period length is preferably shorter than the duration of the closed state, so that the electric valve can be continuously closed in this.
- the sequence of closing signals is a periodic DC voltage signal, for example a positive or a negative periodic signal DC signal with signal portions of a higher amplitude, and with
- the periodic DC voltage signal may, for example, a periodic rectangular sequence or a rectified
- the sequence of closing signals is a stream sequence or a voltage sequence.
- the valve driver unit comprises a transistor circuit or a capacitor or a clock signal generator for generating the sequence of
- the transistor circuit may have a capacitance that is continuously charged and discharged, whereby the sequence of closing signals can be realized.
- the valve driver unit is designed to bring the electrical valve into the closed state by means of the closing signal or by means of a further closing signal, and then, for example, to apply the sequence of closing signals to the electric valve.
- the further closing signal may differ from the closing signal and be provided, for example, to transfer the valve for the first time in the closed state, while the closing signal for
- Tracking the closed state can be used.
- the electric valve comprises a coil, to which the sequence of closing signals for driving a valve piston can be applied, for example by the valve driver unit can be applied, is.
- the electrical valve is an electrical water valve.
- the invention relates to a method for increasing a tightness of an electrical valve of a refrigeration device with the transfer of the electric valve in a closed state, for example by means of a closing signal, and
- Fig. 1 a refrigeration device
- Fig. 2 shows a sequence of closing signals.
- the 1 shows a refrigeration appliance 1, which can be connected, for example, to a water supply valve 2, for example to a water tap, by means of an electric water valve 3 of the refrigeration appliance 1.
- the water supply valve 2 may be an element of the refrigeration device.
- the water supply valve 2 may be an external valve, for example a faucet.
- the refrigeration device 1 further comprises a valve driver unit 4 which is connected to the electrical valve 3, for example an electric water valve.
- the electric valve 3 is connected to the water supply valve 2 by means of a water pipe 5.
- the water supply valve 2 may be connected, for example, to a water supply line 6.
- the valve driver unit 4 can convert the electric valve 3 into an open state, for example, by means of an opening signal. To interrupt the water supply, the
- valve driving unit 4 applies a closing signal to the electric valve 3, through which the electric valve 3 is closed, i. in a
- the electric valve for example, a
- valve driver unit 4 may, for example, a current signal sequence or a
- Fig. 2 shows an example sequence of closing signals 7 and 8, which may be rectangular pulses, for example.
- the closing signals 7 and 8 are, for example, periodic with a period T, as shown in Fig. 2.
- the closing signals shown in FIG. 2 may be, for example, current pulses having the amplitude I. Due to the pulsed activation of the electric valve, a periodic closure of the electric valve in the closed state is effected, whereby the tightness of the valve 3 in the refrigeration device 1 can be increased.
- the pulses can be rectangular. However, they can be lowpass, bandpass, or highpass filtered, for example.
- the valve driver unit can have a low-pass filter or a bandpass filter or a high-pass filter.
- the pulses may also have sinusoidal or cosinusoidal flanks.
