    A COOLING DEVICE COMPRISING AN EVAPORATION TRAY
  • The present invention relates to a cooling device comprising an evaporation tray that enables evaporation of the defrost water.
  • In cooling devices, for example refrigerators or freezers, the defrost process is performed in order to defrost the frost formed on the refrigeration system. In the defrost process, a container named as the evaporation tray is used wherein the melted water is collected and evaporated. In state of the art embodiments, the evaporation tray is placed on the compressor to provide energy saving and the water inside the evaporation tray is enabled to be evaporated by using the heat generated by the compressor while operating. In this embodiment, the evaporation tray is seated on the compressor so that the evaporation efficiency is high and the evaporation tray is agitated by being affected by the vibrations generated during the operation of the compressor. The evaporation tray that is agitated non-resonantly with respect to the compressor causes unwanted rattling by contacting the compressor. The total noise level of the cooling device increases when the oscillations of the compressor and the vibrations of the evaporation tray are in resonance. At the same time, compressors in different sizes are used in cooling devices in different sizes and the same evaporation tray cannot be used for compressor casings in different sizes since the evaporation tray is seated on the surface of the compressor. This situation necessitates the production of evaporation trays suitable for compressors in different sizes and causes increase in production costs.
  • In the Patent Application No. WO2010055076, a cooling device having an evaporation tray is disclosed, which is suitable to be mounted to different types of compressors.
  • In the Patent Application No. EP2159520, a cooling device is disclosed comprising an evaporation tray having a flexible base.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device that comprises a single type of evaporation tray that is suitable to be utilized with different types of compressors and wherein the total noise level is decreased.
  • The cooling device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof comprises a compressor having a casing that covers the compressor, a shaft that extends vertically upwards from the upper surface of the casing, a first spring fitted over the shaft, an evaporation tray having an opening to be seated on the shaft and a nut that is fitted on the shaft to enable the first spring to be compressed by applying pressure to the evaporation tray from above.
  • In the cooling device of the present invention, the noise level is prevented from increasing by transferring the oscillations generated while the compressor operates to the evaporation tray. Furthermore, the distance of the evaporation tray to the casing can be adjusted as desired by means of the nut and the evaporation tray is enabled to be used on compressors in different sizes.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the shaft is mounted to the casing by screws without requiring changes in the production molds. By means of the shaft screwed to the screw hole bored on the casing, connection is provided for compressors in any size.

  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the shaft is produced with the casing as a single piece. By means of this embodiment, the number of parts used is decreased and the noise generated at joints of the parts is prevented.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, a sealing member is used in order to prevent water from leaking between the shaft and the opening. Thus, the compressor is prevented from malfunctioning due to the water leaking through the opening – shaft cavity when the amount of condensed water increases.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, a second spring is used, that is fitted over the shaft, situated between the opening and the nut, in order to prevent the vibrations transmitted by the shaft to the evaporation tray by means of the nut.
