Description
Il presente trovato riguarda un frigorifero domestico del tipo comprendente una struttura ed un circuito refrigerante provvisto di compressore avente un contenitore a guisa di vaschetta per la raccolta e l’evaporazione di acqua di sbrinamento, detto contenitore essendo in contatto termico con il compressore. The present invention relates to a domestic refrigerator of the type comprising a structure and a refrigerant circuit equipped with a compressor having a container like a tray for the collection and evaporation of defrosting water, said container being in thermal contact with the compressor.
Per frigorifero domestico si sintende qui qualsiasi elettrodomestico per la conservazione di alimenti freschi e/o surgelati, ad esempio frigoriferi provvisti di vano frigo e vano freezer, congelatori orizzontali o verticali etc. Domestic refrigerators are defined here as any household appliance for storing fresh and / or frozen food, for example refrigerators with refrigerator and freezer compartments, horizontal or vertical freezers, etc.
E’ ben noto che in tali frigoriferi domestici è necessario prevedere un sistema per la raccolta delle acque di sbrinamento, che vengono convogliate esternamente alla cella verso un contenitore di materiale polimerico posto su un compressore, detto contenitore essendo comunemente indicato con il termine “vaschetta” o “bacinella”. Il contatto termico tra tale contenitore ed il compressore caldo assicura una sufficiente evaporazione dell’acqua onde evitarne la tracimazione. It is well known that in such domestic refrigerators it is necessary to provide a system for collecting the defrosting waters, which are conveyed outside the cell to a container of polymeric material placed on a compressor, said container being commonly indicated with the term "tray" or "basin". The thermal contact between this container and the hot compressor ensures sufficient evaporation of the water to avoid overflowing.
Data la varietà di modelli di compressore installabili sui frigoriferi, i produttori di elettrodomestici devono prevedere a magazzino diverse tipologie di contenitori, con conseguenti aggravi di costi e di complicazione della gestione dei componenti. Inoltre tali contenitori, normalmente realizzati per stampaggio ad iniezione di materiale polimerico, non sempre assicurano un contatto termico ottimale con il compressore. Given the variety of compressor models that can be installed on refrigerators, appliance manufacturers must provide for different types of containers in their warehouse, with consequent increases in costs and complications in the management of components. Furthermore, these containers, normally made by injection molding of polymeric material, do not always ensure optimal thermal contact with the compressor.
Scopo del presente trovato è di fornire un frigorifero domestico del tipo specificato all’inizio della descrizione che non presenti i suddetti inconvenienti e che sia di semplice ed economica realizzazione. Secondo il trovato, tale scopo è raggiunto da un frigorifero avente le caratteristiche espresse nelle annesse rivendicazioni. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a domestic refrigerator of the type specified at the beginning of the description which does not have the aforementioned drawbacks and which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a refrigerator having the characteristics expressed in the attached claims.
Ulteriori vantaggi e caratteristiche di un frigorifero secondo il trovato risulteranno evidenti dalla descrizione dettagliata seguente, fornita a puro titolo di esempio non limitativo, con riferimento ai disegni allegati in cui: Further advantages and characteristics of a refrigerator according to the invention will become evident from the following detailed description, provided purely by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
la figura 1 è una vista prospettica di una porzione di frigorifero secondo il trovato, in cui il contenitore dell’acqua di sbrinamento è illustrato in una configurazione di pre-assemblaggio; e Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of the refrigerator according to the invention, in which the defrost water container is shown in a pre-assembly configuration; And
la figura 2 è una vista analoga alla figura 1 in cui il contenitore dell’acqua di sbrinamento è illustrato nella sua configurazione installata sul frigorifero. Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 in which the defrost water container is shown in its configuration installed on the refrigerator.
Con riferimento ai disegni, con 10 è indicato nel suo insieme un frigorifero domestico avente una struttura 10a costituita da un mobile termicamente isolato al cui interno sono ricavate una o più celle (non illustrate) chiuse da apposite porte di accesso. Inferiormente alla struttra è ricavato, in modo noto, un vano 12 per l’installazione di un compressore 14, fissato in 16 ad una traversa metallica 18 che delimita inferiormente detto vano 12. Il compressore 14 è parte integrante del circuito refrigerante del frigorifero, comprendente un condensatore e uno o più evaporatori. In corrispondenza di una parete superiore 12a del vano inferiore 12 sono ricavate due guide 20 atte a cooperare con corrispondenti bordi paralleli 22a di un telaio 22 che delimita superiormente una vaschetta V per la raccolta dell’acqua di sbrinamento. Al telaio 22 della vaschetta V è unito, ad esempio per costampaggio o per incollaggio, un film flessibile 24 che, una volta assemblata la vaschetta V sul compressore 14, si adtatta per gravità sulla calotta del compressore stesso. With reference to the drawings, the numeral 10 denotes as a whole a domestic refrigerator having a structure 10a consisting of a thermally insulated piece of furniture inside which one or more cells (not shown) are obtained, closed by suitable access doors. Below the structure there is obtained, in a known way, a compartment 12 for the installation of a compressor 14, fixed at 16 to a metal crosspiece 18 which delimits said compartment 12 below. The compressor 14 is an integral part of the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerator, comprising a condenser and one or more evaporators. In correspondence with an upper wall 12a of the lower compartment 12 there are two guides 20 suitable for cooperating with corresponding parallel edges 22a of a frame 22 which delimits a tray V at the top for collecting the defrosting water. To the frame 22 of the tank V is joined, for example by co-molding or gluing, a flexible film 24 which, once the tank V has been assembled on the compressor 14, adapts by gravity to the cap of the compressor itself.
Tale “adattamento” è facilitato dal peso dell’acqua di sbrinamento che viene convogliata alla vaschetta V in quanto maggiore è il volume di acqua nella vaschetta V, maggiore sarà anche la superficie di contatto tra il film flessibile 24 ed il compressore 14. This "adaptation" is facilitated by the weight of the defrosting water that is conveyed to the tank V since the greater the volume of water in the tank V, the greater the contact surface between the flexible film 24 and the compressor 14 will also be.
Nell’esempio illustrato nei disegni la vaschetta V sporge posteriormente rispetto alla struttura 10a di una profondità Y in modo tale che sia favorita l’evaporazione dell’acqua. In alternativa, le guide 20 possono essere distanziate rispetto alla parete superiore 12a del vano 12 in modo da garantire una sufficiente evaporazione dell’acqua. In the example shown in the drawings, the tank V protrudes from the rear with respect to the structure 10a by a depth Y in such a way that the evaporation of the water is favored. Alternatively, the guides 20 can be spaced apart from the upper wall 12a of the compartment 12 so as to ensure sufficient evaporation of the water.
Il materiale utilizzato per la realizzazione del film flessibile 24 può essere gomma siliconica, PVC, polietilene, polipropilene, poliestere, poliammide o loro copolimeri. Naturalmente altri materiali possono essere utilizzati oltre a quelli qui elencati. In alternativa all'incollaggio od al costampaggio, il telaio 22 può essere ottenuto integralmente al film flessibile 24. The material used for making the flexible film 24 can be silicone rubber, PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide or their copolymers. Of course, other materials can be used in addition to those listed here. As an alternative to gluing or co-molding, the frame 22 can be obtained integrally with the flexible film 24.
Per il montaggio della vaschetta V sul frigorifero 10 è sufficiente far scorrere il telaio 22 della vaschetta V nelle apposite guide 20. In tal modo la porzione di film flessibile 24 della vaschetta V viene a trovarsi a contatto con il compressore 14. E’ evidente che il filom flessibile 24 può adattarsi a diverse tipologie e forme di compressore, con ovvi vantaggi nella gestione dei componenti e ricambi dell’elettrodomestico. To mount the tray V on the refrigerator 10 it is sufficient to slide the frame 22 of the tray V into the appropriate guides 20. In this way the portion of flexible film 24 of the tray V comes into contact with the compressor 14. It is evident that the flexible filom 24 can adapt to different types and shapes of compressors, with obvious advantages in the management of the components and spare parts of the household appliance.
