Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigeration appliance such as a freezer, a chest freezer or a fridge-freezer combination, and a method for installing a drain plug on a refrigerated goods container of a refrigeration appliance.
- Refrigeration appliances such as freezers usually have a refrigerated goods container for accommodating refrigerated goods, which is cooled by an evaporator integrated into a refrigeration circuit.
- a refrigerated goods container for accommodating refrigerated goods, which is cooled by an evaporator integrated into a refrigeration circuit.
- condensation can form during operation of the refrigeration device, e.g. through the entry of ambient air into the refrigerated chamber when it is opened or through the entry of moisture into the refrigerated chamber with the refrigerated goods.
- a water drain is typically provided, through which water can be conducted out of the refrigerated chamber.
- measures are usually taken to seal the water drain.
- DE 10 2015 219 327 A1 describes a refrigeration device which has a refrigerated goods container with a drain opening and a drain pipe connected to the drain opening.
- the drain opening is formed in a region of the refrigerated goods container that tapers in the shape of a funnel, and the drain pipe protrudes through the drain opening, so that it forms an overflow edge.
- a cup-shaped cap is placed upside down over the overflow rim of the drainpipe.
- a peripheral wall of the cup is arranged overlapping the peripheral edge and a bottom of the cap is spaced from the overflow edge.
- an annular gap is formed between the drain pipe and the peripheral wall of the cap, in which condensed water collects.
- the surrounding wall of the cup can be provided with individual feet which are supported on the bottom of the refrigerated goods container around the overflow rim.
- a refrigeration device in particular a household refrigeration device such as a freezer, a chest freezer or a fridge-freezer combination
- the refrigeration device comprises a refrigerated goods container for accommodating refrigerated goods, which has a drain opening surrounded by an overflow edge for draining water, in particular condensed water, out of the refrigerated goods container, a drain pipe connected to the drain opening of the refrigerated goods container for guiding the water out of the refrigerated goods container, with at one an inner surface of the drain pipe defining a line cross-section is formed at least one latching structure, which protrudes from the inner surface, and a drain plug.
- the drain closure comprises a closure body inserted through the outlet opening of the refrigerated goods container into the drain pipe, which closure body has water guiding grooves on an outer peripheral surface, a cap arranged at a first end of the closure body, which projects laterally beyond the overflow edge, and a peripheral projection arranged so that it overlaps the overflow edge has, and formed in the region of a second end of the closure body groove, in which the locking structure of the drain pipe is locked.
- the drain closure comprises a closure body, which has water guiding grooves on an outer peripheral surface, a cap arranged on a first end of the closure body with a circumferential projection protruding in the direction of a second end of the closure body, and a groove formed in the region of the second end of the closure body.
- the plug body of the drain plug is inserted into a drain opening of the refrigerated goods container, which is surrounded by an overflow edge, with the plug body being inserted into the drain opening until the cap protrudes laterally beyond the overflow edge and the circumferential projection of the cap overlaps is arranged to the overflow edge, and that a latching structure which snaps into the groove of the closure body on an inner surface of a drain pipe connected to the drain opening of the refrigerated goods container.
- the drain closure is provided with a groove in the area of an axial end, which is inserted through the drain opening of the refrigerated goods container into the drain pipe, into which a latching structure provided on the drain pipe, such as an elastically deformable projection, can engage.
- a cap which protrudes laterally beyond the closure body and has a circumferential projection or a circumferential rib.
- the rib protrudes towards the axial end where the groove is provided, from a bottom surface of the cap and overlaps with an overflow edge surrounding the drain opening of the refrigerated goods container when the locking structure is locked in the groove.
- This forms an annular gap between the overflow rim and the circumferential projection of the cap, with the bottom surface of the cap being arranged at a predefined distance from an upper edge of the overflow rim and a lower edge of the circumferential projection being arranged below the upper edge of the overflow rim.
- One advantage of locking the drain plug with the drain pipe is that the drain plug is in its position relative to the drain opening of the refrigerated goods container is reliably and securely fixed. Since the latching structure of the drain pipe snaps into the groove of the drain closure formed on the closure body or engages or protrudes into it, the closure body is secured in its axial direction. Thus, the overlap between the overflow edge of the drain hole and the circumferential rib of the cap can be kept constant. In particular, slipping of the drain closure in the axial direction, for example when transporting the refrigeration device or as a result of expansion that is associated with possible freezing of the water in the gap formed between the rib and the overflow edge.
- Another advantage lies in the simple assembly of the closure.
- the latching of the latching structure into the groove generates haptic feedback when the closure body is inserted into the drain pipe through the drain opening. Furthermore, only small assembly forces are required. Furthermore, additional joining means, such as adhesive or the like, are not necessarily required for assembly, which further simplifies assembly.
- the latching structure of the drain pipe is formed by a small plate which protrudes from the inner surface of the drain pipe.
- a small plate forming the locking structure can have, for example, a substantially rectangular or triangular peripheral shape, but is not limited to this.
- a platelet that forms the latching structure can be understood herein to mean a discrete element protruding from the inner surface, the wall thickness or caliper of which is negligible compared to its circumference.
- the thickness can range between 0.1 percent and 1.5 percent of the circumference.
- the small plate can, for example, have a wall thickness that decreases with increasing distance from the inner surface, which further facilitates the deformability of the small plate.
- the small plate or in general the latching structure, is inclined in a direction away from the refrigerated goods container.
- the closure body of the drain plug is inserted into the drain pipe, the second end of the drain plug deforms the latching structure, sliding of the closing body on the latching structure being facilitated by the inclined surfaces of the latching structure. This further simplifies the assembly work. Furthermore, in this way it is made more difficult for the drain plug to slide back out of the drain opening.
- the latching structure of the drain pipe is formed in one piece with the drain pipe.
- the locking structure and the drain pipe can be produced in a simple manner using an injection molding process. Irrespective of the manufacture, the drain pipe and the locking structure can be formed from a plastic material, for example.
- the drain pipe has a substantially cylindrical pipe section and a coupling piece, which is formed on an end of the pipe section facing the refrigerated goods container and widens in a funnel shape towards the refrigerated goods container, the coupling piece widening in an area surrounding the drain opening against the refrigerated goods container.
- the piece of pipe can have a circular cross-sectional shape, for example.
- a coupling or connecting piece is provided or formed on a first end of the pipe piece, which is located facing the refrigerated goods container.
- the coupling piece has an inner diameter that increases as the distance from the first end of the tube piece increases, with the inner diameter optionally being able to widen in stages.
- a flange can be formed on an end of the coupling piece that is opposite to the pipe piece, which flange bears against an outer surface of the refrigerated goods container.
- the refrigerated goods container has a funnel-shaped formation which forms the drain opening and protrudes into the coupling piece of the discharge pipe, with the closure body resting against the formation of the refrigerated goods container.
- the shape of the refrigerated goods container for example, can be formed by a collar which forms a drip edge.
- the coupling piece of the drain pipe surrounds the formation of the refrigerated goods container and is spaced with respect to a radial direction to the formation or is located in one radially spaced area on the refrigerated goods container.
- the latching structure is arranged on the end of the pipe section facing the refrigerated goods container. Accordingly, the latching structure is arranged at the transition between the funnel-shaped coupling section and the piece of pipe. In this way, the overall length of the closure body can advantageously be kept short.
- the closure body tapers from a middle region located between the first end and the second end towards the second end.
- the closure body can be conical in the area of the second end. This further facilitates insertion into the drain opening and into the drain pipe.
- the groove of the closure body extends along the entire circumference of the closure body.
- the groove can be implemented as an annular groove. It is therefore not necessary to pay attention to the orientation of the closure body in relation to the circumferential direction during assembly.
- one or more locking structures can be provided on the drain pipe. If several latching structures are provided, they can be spaced apart from one another along the circumference of the drain pipe, in particular at regular intervals. Due to the groove extending around the entire circumference of the closure body, all latching structures can be accommodated in the same groove, which further simplifies assembly.
- the overlap between an upper edge of the overflow edge of the drain opening and a lower edge of the projection of the cap of the drain closure is in a range between 1 mm and 3 mm, in particular between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm.
- the refrigeration device additionally comprises a heat conducting plate arranged on the inside of the refrigerated goods container, which has a plate opening aligned with the drain opening, the plate opening being bordered by a protrusion which forms the overflow edge.
- the formation can be formed by a collar, for example.
- the shape of the heat conducting sheet and the optional shape of the refrigerated goods container point in opposite directions. However, the interior surfaces of the formations may be aligned.
- the refrigeration device can have a machine room in which an evaporation tray for receiving water drained from the refrigerated goods container is arranged, with the drain pipe extending between the drain opening and the machine room in order to direct the water drained from the refrigerated goods container into the evaporation tray conduct.
- the evaporation trough can be arranged, for example, in thermal contact with a compressor housed in the machine room. The water that accumulates in the evaporation tray can be evaporated by the waste heat from the compressor.
- the machine room has a machine room ceiling facing the refrigerated goods container, with insulating material being arranged between the refrigerated goods container and the machine room ceiling, and with the drain pipe extending through the insulating material.
