Definitions
- the aim of the present invention is the realization of a refrigerator comprising an illuminated crisper wherein the light transition is carried out as close as possible to the real sunlight cycle.
- the illumination module is positioned in the crisper together with a motor, a shaft connected to the motor, at least one light source, a printed circuit board whereon preferably the light source is disposed, and a glass having at least two colors whereon the sunlight can be simulated.
- the refrigerator of the present invention further comprises a control unit which enables the motor to trigger the shaft such that the light source sweeps the colors on the glass in an order predetermined by the producer.
- the glass is circular or spherical and is attached to the illumination module so as to cover the part of the illumination module facing the crisper.
- one half of the glass surface is dyed with black masterbatch and the other half with blue, red and green masterbatch.
- the shaft connected to the motor triggers the light source, and the light source makes a circular movement by sweeping all the colors on the glass.
- the light source makes a circular sweeping movement with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the glass and simulates the day cycle.
- the illumination module comprises a barrier so as to partially surround the light source. Said barrier prevents the light leaks from the light source towards the parts other than the glass surfaces.
- the refrigerator (1) of the present invention comprises a shaft (9) which is connected to the glass (6) or the light source (4), a motor (8) which enables the shaft (9) to be moved, and a control unit (10) which enables the motor (8) to trigger the shaft (9) such that the light source (4) sweeps the colors on the glass (6) in an order predetermined by the producer.
- the glass (6) is circular and which is coated with a film (5) the half of which is black (S) and the other half red (K), blue (M) and green (Y), and the white LED light source (4).
- a film (5) the half of which is black (S) and the other half red (K), blue (M) and green (Y), and the white LED light source (4).
