The cooling operation is controlled with a timer.

El documento US 4920763 describe un dispositivo de enfriamiento de acuerdo con el preambulo de la reivindicaci6n 1 con un recipiente que contiene un lfquido frfo y una unidad de refrigeraci6n, para disminuir la temperatura del lfquido de enfriamiento. Una plataforma de soporte recibe el recipiente que contiene el producto que va a ser enfriado. El recipiente es sumergido en el lfquido de enfriamiento y elevado cuando alcanza la temperatura deseada mediante un dispositivo de elevaci6n. Una bomba hace circular el lfquido de enfriamiento y un sensor controla la temperatura del lfquido en el area del producto. El documento US 5237835 expone un enfriador provisto de una depresi6n situada en una caja aislada para aceptar las botellas o recipientes que van a ser enfriados. La depresi6n esta rellena de un lfquido mantenido a muy baja temperatura por la unidad de refrigeraci6n. El circuito mantiene la soluci6n lfquida, la cual no se congela, a una muy baja temperatura. La botella se mantiene en una envuelta de plastico abierta en la parte superior y con la base cerrada apoyandose en una placa portada en un mecanismo manual que puede subir y bajar la botella, con el fin de adaptarse al tamano de la depresi6n del recipiente. US 4920763 describes a cooling device according to the preamble of claim 1 with a container containing a cold liquid and a cooling unit, to lower the temperature of the cooling liquid. A support platform receives the container that contains the product to be cooled. The vessel is submerged in the cooling liquid and raised when it reaches the desired temperature by means of a lifting device. A pump circulates the cooling liquid and a sensor controls the temperature of the liquid in the product area. US 5237835 discloses a cooler provided with a depression located in an insulated box to accept the bottles or containers to be cooled. The depression is filled with a liquid kept at a very low temperature by the refrigeration unit. The circuit maintains the liquid solution, which does not freeze, at a very low temperature.

Todas las soluciones anteriormente mencionadas presentan construcciones que son complejas para llevar a cabo en un frigorffico domestico porque requieren mucho espacio y unidades de refrigeraci6n dedicadas a ello. La presente invenci6n integra en una unidad de frigorffico tradicional un dispositivo para enfriar rapidamente un recipiente de lfquido, tal como bebidas en botellas o latas, sin congelarlo. Tal configuraci6n enfrfa el compartimiento de enfriamiento rapido utilizando los mismos medios de enfriamiento normalmente utilizados en un frigorffico, tales como la unidad evaporadora de la camara de congelaci6n o aire congelado procedente del evaporador. All the aforementioned solutions have constructions that are complex to carry out in a domestic refrigerator because they require a lot of space and refrigeration units dedicated to it. The present invention integrates in a traditional refrigerator unit a device for rapidly cooling a liquid container, such as drinks in bottles or cans, without freezing it. Such a configuration cools the rapid cooling compartment using the same cooling means normally used in a refrigerator, such as the evaporator unit of the freezing chamber or frozen air from the evaporator.

Ademas la configuraci6n del frigorffico de acuerdo con la presente invenci6n proporciona el mantenimiento a baja temperatura de la bebida enfriada, evitando el recalentamiento de las mismas bebidas si el usuario olvida retirarla despues de la finalizaci6n del proceso de enfriamiento. In addition, the configuration of the refrigerator according to the present invention provides low temperature maintenance of the cooled beverage, preventing overheating of the same beverages if the user forgets to remove it after the completion of the cooling process.

Otras caracterfsticas y ventajas de la presente invenci6n seran facilmente evidentes para los expertos en la tecnica a partir de la siguiente descripci6n detallada en combinaci6n con los dibujos adjuntos, en los que: Other features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description in combination with the accompanying drawings, in which:

la Fig. 1 muestra una vista en secci6n esquematica de un frigorffico de acuerdo con la presente invenci6n, Fig. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a refrigerator according to the present invention,

la Fig. 2 muestra una vista en secci6n esquematica de un frigorffico de acuerdo con la presente invenci6n en el que una botella que va a ser enfriada esta insertada en el rebaje, Fig. 2 shows a schematic sectional view of a refrigerator according to the present invention in which a bottle to be cooled is inserted in the recess,

la Fig. 3 muestra una vista en secci6n esquematica de un frigorffico de acuerdo con la presente invenci6n en el que una botella esta expulsadas del rebaje, y Fig. 3 shows a schematic sectional view of a refrigerator according to the present invention in which a bottle is ejected from the recess, and

la Fig. 4 muestra una vista en secci6n de rebaje del frigorffico de acuerdo con la presente invenci6n. Fig. 4 shows a sectional view of the refrigerator's recess in accordance with the present invention.

Haciendo referencia a los dibujos, se proporciona un frigorffico con una cavidad congeladora inferior 2 termoregulada a -18 °C, y una cavidad de nevera superior 1 termo-regulada a 5 °C. Referring to the drawings, a refrigerator is provided with a thermoregulated lower 2 freezer cavity 2 at -18 ° C, and a thermoregulated upper 1 refrigerator cavity 1 at 5 ° C.

Entre las dos cavidades, hay un rebaje 3 rfgidamente conformado para recibir recipientes de lfquidos tales como botellas o latas de bebidas. El rebaje 3 se puede cerrar con una tapa con bisagra 4, preferiblemente fabricada de un material aislante termicamente con el fin de aislar el rebaje 3 de la cavidad de frigorffico superior 1. La tapa 4 puede girar alrededor de la bisagra 7 y puede adoptar una posici6n abierta o cerrada. La tapa 4 se puede bloquear con un dispositivo de bloqueo 8 que mantiene la tapa 4 firmemente en una posici6n cerrada. Cuando es necesario, el dispositivo automaticamente desbloquea la tapa 4 por medio de un dispositivo de accionamiento electromagnetico (no mostrado). Between the two cavities, there is a rigidly shaped recess 3 to receive containers of liquids such as bottles or cans of beverages. The recess 3 can be closed with a hinged lid 4, preferably made of a thermally insulating material in order to isolate the recess 3 of the upper refrigerator cavity 1. The lid 4 can rotate around the hinge 7 and can adopt a open or closed position. The lid 4 can be locked with a locking device 8 that holds the lid 4 firmly in a closed position. When necessary, the device automatically unlocks the cover 4 by means of an electromagnetic drive device (not shown).

El rebaje 3 esta preferiblemente formado en el perfmetro del frigorffico de manera que la tapa con bisagra 4 esta en el nivel de suelo de la cavidad de nevera 1. The recess 3 is preferably formed in the refrigerator perfometer so that the hinged lid 4 is at the floor level of the refrigerator cavity 1.

El rebaje se extiende en el volumen de la cavidad de congelador inferior 2 y tiene paredes perimetrales 12 hechas de materiales conductores, tales como aluminio, para que sea eficientemente enfriada por el aire frfo del congelador, The recess extends in the volume of the lower freezer cavity 2 and has perimeter walls 12 made of conductive materials, such as aluminum, to be efficiently cooled by the freezer's cold air,

o mas en general, para intercambiar calor con la cavidad de congelador de una manera eficiente. or more generally, to exchange heat with the freezer cavity in an efficient manner.

En el rebaje 3 esta colocada una placa de soporte 5 (Figura 4) para soportar los recipientes lfquidos, a la que esta conectado debajo un muelle metalico 6. El muelle 6 esta conectado a la pared inferior rfgida 9 del rebaje 3. Cuando no hay recientes de lfquido 13 insertados en el rebaje 3, los muelles estan totalmente relajados, llevado la placa de soporte 5 hacia un nivel vera de la abertura 15 del rebaje 3. El nivel de la placa de soporte 5 es descendido cuando es introducido un recipiente de lfquido 13 y comprimido en el rebaje, cargando el muelle 6. Preferiblemente, en el interior del rebaje 3 hay una pared interna flexible 16 adaptable al diferente perfmetro de la botella o lata para enfriar eficiente y rapidamente las botellas por transferencia de calor conductiva. In the recess 3 a support plate 5 (Figure 4) is placed to support the liquid containers, to which a metal spring 6 is connected underneath. The spring 6 is connected to the rigid bottom wall 9 of the recess 3. When there is no Recent of liquid 13 inserted in the recess 3, the springs are completely relaxed, the support plate 5 is brought towards a level of the opening 15 of the recess 3. The level of the support plate 5 is lowered when a container of liquid 13 and compressed in the recess, loading the spring 6. Preferably, inside the recess 3 there is a flexible internal wall 16 adaptable to the different perfometer of the bottle or can to efficiently and quickly cool the bottles by conductive heat transfer.

La holgura 18 entre la pared flexible 16 y el perfmetro 12 del rebaje 3 esta rellena de una soluci6n que permanece en fase lfquida o de gel tambien a baja temperatura. Como ejemplo, puede ser una soluci6n con agua y un 30% en peso de CaCl que tiene un punto de congelaci6n de aproximadamente -50°C. The clearance 18 between the flexible wall 16 and the perfometer 12 of the recess 3 is filled with a solution that remains in a liquid or gel phase also at a low temperature. As an example, it can be a solution with water and 30% by weight of CaCl having a freezing point of approximately -50 ° C.

En el rebaje 3 esta opcionalmente situado un sensor de temperatura 10 que puede estar situado de acuerdo con dos posibles configuraciones. En la primera configuraci6n, el sensor 10 esta en el volumen libre del rebaje 3 para medir la temperatura del aire alrededor del recipiente. En la segunda configuraci6n, el sensor 10 esta situado en contacto con la botella 13 midiendo la propia temperatura de la botella. In the recess 3, a temperature sensor 10 is optionally located, which can be located according to two possible configurations. In the first configuration, the sensor 10 is in the free volume of the recess 3 to measure the temperature of the air around the container. In the second configuration, the sensor 10 is placed in contact with the bottle 13 by measuring the bottle's own temperature.

La temperatura predeterminada a la que la bebida tiene que ser enfriada tambien puede ser un parametro ajustable automatico o por el usuario. El temporizador para ajustar un tiempo de enfriamiento se puede utilizar en lugar de un sistema de detecci6n de temperatura que utilice el sensor 10. The predetermined temperature at which the beverage has to be cooled can also be an automatic or user adjustable parameter. The timer for setting a cooling time can be used instead of a temperature sensing system that uses sensor 10.

Una senal acustica es proporcionada al usuario al final de proceso de enfriamiento. De manera similar, si se proporciona una conexi6n a una interfaz de usuario electr6nica, una reacci6n visual se puede proporcionar tambien al usuario. An acoustic signal is provided to the user at the end of the cooling process. Similarly, if a connection to an electronic user interface is provided, a visual reaction can also be provided to the user.

En una realizaci6n alternativa (no mostrada) de la presente invenci6n, el mecanismo de bloqueo esta asociado con la placa de soporte 5, y una membrana es utilizada en lugar de la tapa 4. In an alternative embodiment (not shown) of the present invention, the locking mechanism is associated with the support plate 5, and a membrane is used instead of the cover 4.

Cuando el usuario necesita enfriar una bebida contenida, por ejemplo en una botella, el/ella abre la tapa 4 del rebaje 3 e introduce la botella 13 comprimiendo la placa de soporte 5 hacia la pared inferior 9 del rebaje 3, cargando el muelle de debajo 6. La tapa 4 es entonces cerrada encima de la botella a la vea que mantiene el muelle cargado, y por tanto bloqueada por el dispositivo 8. Un valor de temperatura predeterminada o un tiempo predeterminado se ajusta, para definir la condici6n a la que la operaci6n de enfriamiento se considera finalizada. When the user needs to cool a contained beverage, for example in a bottle, he / she opens the lid 4 of the recess 3 and introduces the bottle 13 by compressing the support plate 5 towards the bottom wall 9 of the recess 3, loading the spring from below 6. The lid 4 is then closed on top of the bottle while keeping the spring loaded, and therefore locked by the device 8. A predetermined temperature value or a predetermined time is adjusted, to define the condition at which the Cooling operation is considered completed.

La temperatura es opcionalmente controlada a traves del sensor de temperatura 10 hasta que la temperatura alcanza un valor predeterminado. The temperature is optionally controlled through the temperature sensor 10 until the temperature reaches a predetermined value.

Cuando tal valor predeterminado es alcanzado, el dispositivo de bloqueo 8 desbloquea la tapa liberando la botella que se eleva del rebaje 3 a la cavidad de refrigerador 1 bajo en efecto del muelle 6. Durante si elevaci6n la botella disminuye su velocidad por un mecanismo de fricci6n (no mostrado) incluido en la bisagra 7 de la tapa 4. Al mismo tiempo la interfaz de usuario informa a usuario de que la bebida ya esta lista para ser servida. When such a predetermined value is reached, the locking device 8 unlocks the lid by releasing the bottle that rises from the recess 3 to the refrigerator cavity 1 under the effect of the spring 6. During elevation of the bottle its speed decreases by a friction mechanism (not shown) included in hinge 7 of cover 4. At the same time the user interface informs the user that the drink is ready to be served.

Dado que la cavidad del refrigerador 1 se ajust6 a una temperatura por encima de 0 °C, se evita que las bebidas se congelen y la botella se dane. La botella permanece hasta que el usuario la saca de la cavidad del frigorffico. Por tanto se evita el recalentamiento de la bebida de la botella en el tiempo se permanencia, en el caso de que el usuario se retrase en sacar la bebida enfriada. Since the cavity of the refrigerator 1 was set at a temperature above 0 ° C, the drinks are prevented from freezing and the bottle is damaged. The bottle remains until the user takes it out of the refrigerator cavity. Therefore, overheating of the beverage in the bottle is avoided in the time it remains, in the event that the user is delayed in taking out the cooled beverage.

Se pueden utilizar otros mecanismos de extracci6n del recipiente de la cavidad 3 sustituyendo el mecanismo de muelle descrito anteriormente. Por ejemplo, es posible hacer la placa de soporte 5 por medio de un motor electrico o electroimanes, consiguiendo los mismos resultados de transferencia del recipiente desde el rebaje hasta la cavidad de refrigeraci6n. Other mechanisms for removing the container from the cavity 3 can be used by replacing the spring mechanism described above. For example, it is possible to make the support plate 5 by means of an electric motor or electromagnets, achieving the same results of transferring the container from the recess to the cooling cavity.
