This type of heat transfer is an irreversible process and transports the heat on average from the higher energy level - with higher absolute temperature - to the lower level - with lower temperature.
  • heat from a flowing fluid for example a cold air flow, is carried along as internal energy or enthalpy. Convection occurs when a flowing fluid absorbs or releases thermal energy from a surface.

  • the storage area according to the present invention has sufficient thermal conductivity. It is thereby achieved that the parking area is formed from a material which has good to very good heat-conducting properties.
  • the storage area is formed from a more thermally conductive material than the predominant part of the base plate, preferably that the storage area is formed from a metallic material or from a carbon-based material and the base plate from a non-metallic material.
  • the heat-conductive material of the storage area can be brass, aluminum or stainless steel.
  • the base plate is preferably formed from a plastic-based material. The thermal conductivity of plastics is much lower than that of metals. Since plastics have a comparatively low heat transfer compared to metals or materials based on carbon, the horizontal cold air duct section can be operated efficiently because cooling power losses via the base plate are reduced or largely avoided.
  • the horizontal cold air duct section is designed as an intermediate floor for dividing the storage space into a plurality of storage compartments.
  • This has the advantage that the horizontal cold air duct section can be arranged as an intermediate floor in the storage space like a conventional glass shelf.
  • the storage area according to the invention is thus easily accessible to the customer.
  • a household refrigeration device can be equipped with the horizontal cold air duct section and storage area for warm or cooked food or with a conventional glass shelf, without major modifications to the household refrigeration device.
  • the air outlet in the horizontal cold air duct section can then serve as an additional air outlet in the storage room or be closed by a cover.

  • the senor in particular the temperature sensor, is arranged on the storage area and is designed to sense the temperature at a defined point in the storage area.
  • the sensor scans the temperature in a defined area of the storage area. Consequently, it is possible to regulate the cooling requirement of the storage area or the cold air supply of the horizontal cold guide section. Accordingly, the cold air supply to the horizontal cold air duct section can be reduced if a certain lower temperature value has been detected by the temperature sensor, and increased again if a certain upper temperature value has been detected by the temperature sensor. Since the initial temperature or the cooling rate of the goods to be cooled is always different and therefore there is always a different cooling requirement, the cooling effect can be adapted to the cooling requirement by regulating the storage area.
  • the sensor is advantageously arranged at a central point of the storage area or at least on an area of the storage area which is indicated by a marking as a storage area for the stored goods or warm or cooked food on the ceiling plate. This results in a more energy-efficient operation of the household refrigeration device according to the invention.
  • an air guiding device arranged in the cold air duct can be designed to bring the cold air flow into heat-conducting contact with the storage area. This has the advantage that the cold air flow is directed through the air guiding device in the direction of the ceiling plate or in the direction of the storage area arranged in the ceiling plate or in defined paths in the cold air duct, so that an efficient heat exchange between the storage area and the cold air flow is made possible.

  • the step or the inclination is preferably in the area of the parking area or in the marked area Area of a parking area, so that the increased cooling effect generated by the step or the inclination acts on the parking area.
  • the air guiding device may be formed by a local projection on the surface of the base plate facing the cold air duct.
  • the local projection is preferably arranged in the area of the parking area, so that the storage area of the cold air generated by the projection cools the parking area.
  • the air guiding device can be formed by a radius or an inclined plate at the entrance of the cold air duct.
  • the radius or the inclined plate at the entrance area of the cold air duct can align the air flow in such a way that the cold air flow flows directly adjacent to the storage area or flows towards the storage area or the cold air flow impinges on the storage area. This enables simple and inexpensive means to cool the parking area more efficiently or to transfer heat more efficiently between the parking area and the cold air flow.
  • the air guiding device is designed as a cooling fin which extends elongated in the direction of flow or transverse to the direction of flow of the cold air flow through the cold air duct, which is connected in a heat-conducting manner to the storage area and projects into the cold air duct in the direction of the base plate.
  • the ceiling plate should advantageously have a plurality of cooling fins projecting into the cold air duct.
  • the cooling fin can be integrally connected to the ceiling plate or can be arranged in a multi-part construction as an intermediate element between the cold air duct and the ceiling plate.
  • the cooling fin should be formed in direct contact with the storage surface and the cooling fins should be flowed around by the cold air flow.
  • the cooling fins are advantageously arranged on the storage area, so that the cooling effect is strongest there. Due to the cooling fins, the heat transfer between the Storage area and the cold air flow further improved.

  • the cooling fin may define a flow path within the cold air duct, which is intended to guide the cold air flow to a predefined area of the storage area.
  • the cooling fins thus have a double function.
  • the cooling fin promotes the heat transfer between the storage area and the cold air flow and on the other hand the cooling fins guide the cold air flow into one of several defined areas of the storage area.
  • the air guiding function is implemented by the cooling fin.
  • a large number of cooling fins can form a large number of flow paths of the cold air flow, so that different areas of the storage area can be cooled more or less with design measures.
  • the storage area locally indicates a marking on the ceiling plate. Accordingly, the user can be made aware that particularly efficient cooling is possible in the marked storage area or that the marking simply indicates the storage location or storage area for the stored goods or for the warm or cooked food on the ceiling plate.
  • the marking can be a print, foil, embossing or inscription.
  • the marking can also be indicated by an electrical display area or light source. Since edge areas of the storage area are cooled less strongly by the air flow, the central area or the area with the greatest cooling can be indicated on the storage area by a marking.
  • the storage area can be divided into a first cooling section and a second cooling section, the first cooling section having a higher cooling rate than the second cooling section.
  • the horizontal cold air duct section is correspondingly designed such that the cold air flow in the cold air duct is dimensioned and aligned in such a way that a different cooling capacity is present at the first and second cooling areas.

Accordingly, an even faster cooling of the stored goods on the storage area is possible.

  • the embodiment differs according to Figure 3c in that the cold air flow distributor 65 or the air flap 68 directs a partial volume of the cold air flow 62 into the cold air channel 71 of the vertical cold air guide section 70 and a partial volume of the cold air flow 62 into the cold air channel 81 of the horizontal cold air guide section 80. Consequently, the vertical cold air guide section 70 and the horizontal cold air guide section 80 supplied with cold air at the same time. This is advantageous if the cooling space 10 and the storage area 87 report a cooling requirement at the same time to the control unit 13 (not shown here) of the household refrigeration device 1.
  • FIG 4a A schematic sectional view of a first embodiment of the horizontal cold air guide section 80 of the household refrigeration device 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • the illustration shows a schematic sectional view in the longitudinal direction of the cold air duct 81.
  • the horizontal cold air duct section 80 has a cold air duct 81 formed between a base plate 90 and the ceiling plate 85.
  • the base plate 90 and ceiling plate 85 can be connected to one another in a form-fitting manner, such as latching or screwing, in an integral manner, such as gluing or welding, or in one piece.
  • the ceiling plate 85 has a storage area 87, which can be formed from a metallic or from a carbon-based material. Of course, the storage area 87 can be formed in one piece with the ceiling plate 85.
  • the storage area 87 is designed in such a way that a user of the household refrigeration device 1 can store stored goods or food there, which can be cooled more quickly via the storage area 87 than is usually the case via the cooled room air of the interior.
  • the storage area 87 is cooled by a cold air flow 62, which can flow through the cold air channel 81 during operation of the horizontal cold air duct section 80, and extracts the heat energy from the foods arranged on the storage area 87 or cools the stored goods, such as, for example, arranged on the storage area 87 Pot with hot or cooked food in it, quickly.
  • the cold air duct 81 is one through the heat insulation layer 91 trained air guide 50 shown.
  • the air guide device 50 is designed as an incline 505.
  • the inclination 505 is provided to bring the cold air flow 62 closer or in heat-conducting contact with the storage area 87. Due to the inclination 505, the height of the cold air channel 81 in the flow direction of the cold air flow 62 is reduced from a distance D1 to a distance D2 that is reduced compared to the distance D1.
  • the distance D1 preferably has a width of approximately 15 mm to 30 mm.
  • the diameter D2 preferably has a smaller distance of approximately 10 mm to 14 mm compared to the distance D1.
  • FIG 4b A schematic sectional view of a second embodiment of the horizontal cold air guide section 80 of the household refrigeration device 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • the Figure 4a points the Figure 4B a local step 504 or a local protrusion 503 as an air guiding device 50 instead of an inclination 505.
  • the local step 504 or the local projection are formed on the surface of the base plate 90 facing the cold air duct 81.
  • the local step 504 or the local projection 503 is formed by the heat insulation layer 91.
  • the step 504 or the local projection 503 can deflect the air flow 62, which essentially causes the air flow 62 to impact the storage area 87.
  • the local step 504 or the local projection 503 can achieve a much greater deflection of the air flow 62, so that defined areas of the storage area 87 can be cooled more intensively.
  • FIG 4c is a schematic sectional view of a third embodiment of the horizontal cold air duct section 80 of the household refrigerator according to the invention 1 shown. Opposite the Figure 4a and 4b In this embodiment, a sectional view is shown transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cold air duct 81.
  • the air guiding device 50 is designed as a cooling fin 506.
  • the cooling fin 506 is advantageously formed in one piece with the storage area 87.
  • a plurality of cooling fins 506 are advantageously arranged on the storage area 87.
  • the large number of cooling fins 506 can be used to produce a large number of flow paths 88 which divide the air flow 62 into a large number of air flows 62 in the cold air duct 81.
  • the cooling fins 506 define a plurality of flow paths 88 within the cold air duct 81, the cold air flow 92 can be guided to a predefined area of the storage area 87. This has the advantage that the cooling fins 506, on the one hand, make the heat transfer from the storage area 87 to the cold air flow 62 more efficient and, on the other hand, divide the cold air flow 62 into a plurality of cold air flows 62 and can lead them to defined areas of the storage area 87.
  • FIG 5 A perspective view of the cold air distribution system 60 of the household refrigeration device 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • The differs from the previous embodiments Figure 5 in that the storage area 87 or the storage areas 87 is indicated locally by a marking 871 on the ceiling plate 85. Accordingly, the user can be made aware that the marked storage area has particularly efficient cooling or that the marking simply indicates the storage location or storage area for warm or cooked dishes on the ceiling plate 85.
  • a plurality of markings 871 can also be provided, so that the storage area 87 of the horizontal cold air guide section 60 is defined by a first cooling section 872 and a second cooling section 873. In this case, the first cooling section 873 has a higher cooling rate than the second cooling section 873.
  • the air guiding device 50 which is designed here as cooling fins 506, structurally controls or adjusts the volume flow of the cold air flow 62 to the cooling sections 872, 873.
  • the cooling fins 506 transport a larger volume flow of the cold air flow 62 to the first cooling section 872 than to the second cooling section 873. So that the user has the cooling effect of the first Cooling section 872 and the second cooling section 873, the first cooling section 872 and the second cooling section 873 have corresponding definitions as markings on the ceiling plate 85.
  • the cold air flow 62 flowing or guided in the cold air duct 81 is discharged into the storage space 9 via the air outlets 95.
  • an air outlet 75 can be integrated in the vertical cold air guide section 70. The cold air discharged from the air outlet 75 is directed to the storage area 87.
