Description

    REFRIGERATION APPLIANCE HAVING CONDENSER POSITIONINGMECHANISM
  • The present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance condenser positioning mechanism by means of which adequate amount of aeration effect by natural convention can be obtained.
  • In conventional refrigeration appliances, heat absorbed from the interior of the refrigeration appliance is discharged to the outer environment by means of the condenser. Condensers of the static type operate according to the natural heat convection principle. A refrigerant fluid is accordingly circulated between a condenser, a tube expander and the evaporator. While the refrigerant fluid undergoes a phase transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase by passing through the evaporator, its pressure is increased in the compressor and it is cooled and condensed by transferring its heat onto the condenser surface in the condenser.
  • The condenser typically extends along the rear wall of the appliance cabin. Air circulation can be satisfactory if sufficient space is provided around the condenser. In this regard, the condenser is positioned at a certain distance from the rear wall of the appliance. The distance between the condenser and an adjacent wall of the room in which the appliance is placed is accordingly also important.
    A prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as WO2008148852 disclosing a refrigeration appliance with a condenser advantageously occupying less space during packaging and transportation but yet configured to increase heat transfer during usage. Amount of aeration is intended to be optimized by way of arranging the condenser unit in inclination with respect to the rear wall of the refrigeration appliance.
  • Although addressing a problem relevant to the disclosure of the present invention, WO2008148852 proposes a structurally more complex arrangement and therefore suggests a more expansive solution, namely because it incorporates a plurality of individual brackets and a condenser designed in separate units.
  • The present invention therefore proposes a solution to this technical problem, i.e. providing a refrigeration appliance condenser positioning mechanism by means of which adequate amount of aeration effect by natural convention as well as providing a refrigeration appliance occupying less space during packaging and transportation in a more convenient manner.
  • The present invention therefore provides a refrigeration appliance condenser positioning mechanism advantageously affording improved natural convection while reducing storage and shipping space requirements, such condenser positioning mechanism being defined by the characterizing features as given in Claim 1.
  • Primary object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration appliance condenser positioning mechanism with improved natural convention as well as reduced space requirement.
  • The present invention proposes a condenser positioning mechanism having a carrier bracket and an associated orientation device. Each condenser positioning mechanism is in mechanical connection with the condenser such that the plane of the condenser is pivotally changed so that the upper part of the condenser is moved away from the refrigeration appliance to increase air circulation. The upper part is therefore rotated around an axis extending between two lower stationary brackets connecting the condenser to the appliance in a fixed manner. The lower stationary brackets therefore compensates the rotational movement of the condenser’s upper part by deforming and flexing to a certain extent.
  • Each orientation device displaces on an axis parallel with the surface normal of the rear wall of the refrigeration appliance while they are guided in between a parking position and an extended operational position. Guiding channels of the carrier brackets receive traction flanges of the orientation devices.
  • The extended operational position of said orientation device is maintained by a fixation protrusion of the orientation device such that a flexible stopping member of the carrier bracket retains the fixation protrusion in its locked position in a fixation slot of the carrier bracket. The fixation slot longitudinally extends in the displacement direction of the orientation device in the manner that the fixation protrusion is guidably moved inside the fixation slot.
  • The flexible stopping member also longitudinally extends into said fixation slot and the fixation protrusion flexes it away from the fixation slot while moving inside the fixation slot. The flexible stopping member takes its original orientation into said fixation slot back after the fixation protrusion is locked in its fully extended position.
  • Accompanying drawings are given solely for the purpose of exemplifying a refrigeration appliance with a condenser positioning mechanism whose advantages over prior art were outlined above and will be explained in brief hereinafter.
