Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator wherein moisture and sweating control is performed in a crisper which is disposed on the door.
  • receptacles placed in the door which have a relatively higher temperature than the body temperature
  • various problems arise such as controlling the internal temperature of the refrigerator and ensuring the insulation of the compartment.
  • a crisper comprising a heater
  • the heat effect created by the heater should not spread into the body and cause other foodstuffs to deteriorate.
  • the problem of moisture and sweating arises in crispers in the form of a receptacle placed on the door without any heater due to the failure to effectively discharge the cold air coming from the body from the compartment.
  • the volumes on the refrigerator door shelves, the position of the crisper on the door shelf, the shelf distances and the shelf arrangements are very important in the design of the receptacle to provide moisture and temperature control.
  • a crisper is disclosed, which is provided on the door and which is received by a housing provided in the body when the door is closed.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a refrigerator comprising a receptacle which can be placed on the door which allows the storage of vegetables and fruits requiring a temperature higher than + 4°C to keep fresh and wherein moisture/sweating can be controlled.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to keep tropical vegetables and fruits such as bananas and avocados fresh for a longer period of time in the refrigerator.
  • the refrigerator of the present invention comprises a door pocket region where the insulation at the inner lining of the door is thinned by 30 mm on average.
  • the door pocket comprises a first cavity and a second cavity.
  • a receptacle is positioned in the door pocket.
  • the temperature of the receptacle is increased with respect to the temperature of the body without using any heater, etc. For example, while the temperature of the body is +4 °C, the temperature of the receptacle is increased up to 7-8 °C due to the arrangement.
  • the receptacle has a depth and width suitable for placing fruits and vegetables therein.
  • the receptacle comprises a base, and side walls, a front wall and a rear wall which all surround the base.
  • the receptacle comprises a perforated cover which is placed thereon.
  • a lid is placed onto the perforated cover.
  • the receptacle has a double-walled structure where the front wall and the base are composed of a first plate and a second plate.
  • an insulation material is disposed between the first plate and the second plate.
  • the front wall, the side walls, the base and the rear wall of the receptacle can be double-walled with the insulation material disposed between the first plate and the second plate.
  • the receptacle comprises a moisture screen.
  • the moisture screen is a plate-shaped structure in the receptacle, which at least bears against the base, the front wall, the side walls or the rear wall, and which comprises a plurality of holes allowing the water caused by the condensed steam caused by the difference between the body temperature and the receptacle temperature, known as sweating, to flow.
  • the moisture screen has single-piece L form, positioned together on the front wall and the base.
  • the water which may form on the front wall and the base which are the surfaces that vegetables and fruits come into contact with the most, is prevented from coming into contact with the vegetables and fruits, eliminating the risk of spoilage.
  • the moisture screen comprises embossments which surround the holes.
  • the embossments are in the form of elevations which completely surround the circle formed by the hole.
  • said elevations can be manufactured from a flexible material such as rubber and comprises at least one claw to be attached to and detached from the moisture screen.
  • the moisture screen comprises at least one housing which is disposed around the holes and which is suitable for engaging with the claws at the lower side of the embossment.
  • a refrigerator comprising a door having a receptacle which has an inner temperature increased with respect to the temperature of the body without using a heater, which is controlled in terms of moisture and sweating and which is suitable for placing vegetables and fruits that can be stored for a long time at temperatures higher than +4 °C.
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises a body (2); a door (3) which provides access into the body (2); and a receptacle (7) which is suitable for vegetables and fruits therein and which has a perforated cover (8) for discharging the moisture therein into the body (2), a lid (9) which is placed on the perforated cover (8), a base (11), a front wall (10), side walls (13) and a rear wall (12).
  • the refrigerator (1) of the present invention comprises the receptacle (7) which is, when the door (3) is closed, seated into a door pocket (4) formed on the side of the door (3) facing the body (2) and having a first cavity (5) and a second cavity (6), and which has a moisture screen (14) having a plurality of holes (15) and positioned so as to contact at least one of the base (11), the front wall (10), the side walls (13) and the rear wall (12) such that the vegetables and fruits do not come into contact with moisture.
  • a door pocket (4) is formed on the inner lining of the door (3).
  • the receptacle (7) is suitable for placing tropical fruits and vegetables such as bananas and avocados, suitable for storage at temperatures higher than +4 °C. Due to the air flow between said high-temperature receptacle (7) and the body (2), the sweating problem occurring in the receptacle (7) is solved by means of the moisture screen (14).
  • the moisture screen (14) is a plate-shaped structure having a plurality of holes (15) thereon.
  • the moisture screen (14) can be placed in the receptacle (7) so as to contact at least one of the base (11), the front wall (11), the side walls (13) and the rear wall (12) which all together form the receptacle (7).
  • the fruits and vegetables are prevented from coming into contact with the moisture condensed in the receptacle (7) and from getting spoiled.
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises the receptacle (7) having a moisture screen (14) having embossments (16) in the form of elevations surrounding each hole (15).
  • the vegetables and fruits do not come into contact with the holes (15) and the water flowing through the holes (15) and are positioned higher than the moisture screen (14).
  • the vegetables and fruits can be stored in a healthy manner for a longer period of time.
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises a receptacle (7) having the L-shaped moisture screen (14) which is placed together on the base (11) and the front wall (10) so as to completely cover the base (11) and the front wall (10).
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises the receptacle (7) having a moisture screen (14) manufactured from a transparent plastic material.
  • a moisture screen (14) manufactured from a transparent plastic material.
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises the moisture screen (14) having at least one claw which is provided on the side of the embossment (16) in contact with the moisture screen (14) and which enables the embossment (16) to be attached to and detached from around the holes (15) in the moisture screen (14), and at least one housing which is provided around the holes (15) and which is suitable for engaging with the claw.
  • the moisture screen (14) and the foreign materials such as dust, dirt etc. entering between the embossment (16) and the holes (15) are enabled to be easily cleaned.
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises the moisture screen (14) having the embossment (16) manufactured from an elastic material such as rubber, suitable for contact with food.
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises the receptacle (7) having the front wall (10) composed of a first plate (17) and a second plate (18), the base (11) composed of the first plate (17) and the second plate (18), and an insulation material disposed between the first plate (17) and the second plate (18).
  • the receptacle (7) having the front wall (10) composed of a first plate (17) and a second plate (18), the base (11) composed of the first plate (17) and the second plate (18), and an insulation material disposed between the first plate (17) and the second plate (18).
  • the refrigerator (1) comprises the receptacle (7) having an insulation material such as air, argon gas, styrofoam, and polyurethane which increases insulation.
