Abstract
A refrigerating appliance, in particular a domestic freezer, includes a basic structure and a door, which bound a thermally insulated interior when the door is closed. The door has an inner side of the door which faces the interior when the door is closed and has a seal which is intended to substantially seal the interior when the door is closed. Behind the seal, there is at least one recess in the inner side of the door for permitting passage of air beneath the seal. The seal and the at least one recess form opposite gaps which bound side edges of the seal.
Description
- The invention relates to a refrigerating appliance, in particular a domestic freezer.
- When the door of a refrigerating appliance is opened, warm air then enters the interior of the refrigerating appliance, which cools after the door is closed and creates a partial vacuum that presses the door against the front side of the basic structure of the refrigerating appliance. Although the partial vacuum is equalized with time, after approximately 60 seconds, depending on the refrigerating appliance, this does however have the consequence that opening the door shortly after closing the door is rendered difficult.
- DE 10 2006 040 381 A1 discloses a refrigerating appliance having a basic structure and a door mounted on the basic structure, which bound a thermally insulated interior. In order to be able to open the door easily at any time, a pressure equalization valve is fitted in the wall of the basic structure and in the case of a partial vacuum prevailing in the interior allows air to flow from the outside to the inside and closes as soon as the pressure between outside and interior has been equalized.
- The object of the invention is to specify a simplified refrigerating appliance which creates conditions such that the door thereof can be opened relatively easily at any time.
- The object of the invention is achieved by a refrigerating appliance, in particular by a domestic freezer, comprising a basic structure and a door which when the door is closed bound a thermally insulated interior, whereby the inner side of the door facing the interior when the door is closed has a seal which is intended to seal, at least for the most part, the interior when the door is closed, further comprising at least one recess in the inner side of the door, arranged behind the seal, which is intended to let air through beneath the seal. The refrigerating appliance according to the invention, which in particular is a freezer or the freezer compartment of a combined freezer refrigerator, accordingly comprises the door which can for example be arranged hinged on the basic structure, on the inner side of which door, in other words where applicable on the inner door of said door, is situated the seal for sealing the interior at least for the most part. In order to make it easier to open the door which in particular has been closed shortly beforehand with the result that a partial vacuum rendering opening more difficult has become established in the interior, the inner side is provided with the at least one recess beneath the seal. According to the invention, the recess is configured such that air can flow beneath the seal in particular when the door is closed into the interior of the refrigerating appliance, in other words into the interior space. The recess thus constitutes a defined leakage which results in a pressure equalization after a partial vacuum produced for example by an opening and subsequent closing.
- According to a variant of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention, the inner side of the door has a groove in particular draw-formed onto the inner side, by means of which the seal is affixed on the inner side of the door.
- For this purpose the seal has for example a bridge which interacts with the groove in order to be affixed on the inner side of the door. In order to ensure that air can flow through beneath the seal, according to an embodiment of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention provision is made such that an interspace is formed between the bridge and the recess.
- According to an embodiment, the recess of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention is also formed in particular in the groove on the inner side of the door in one piece, in particular from one material, in particular by simultaneous draw-forming. Such a manufacturing process using for example deep drawing, generally by means of tension-compression forming, provides a prerequisite for a relatively simple and accordingly cost-effective manufacturing method for the refrigerating appliance according to the invention.
- In order for example to reduce or even to prevent a danger of icing-up of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention, in particular of its evaporator, according to a preferred variant the recess is arranged in the lower half of the door, in particular in the lower third of the door.
- By preference, the seal can comprise a segment in particular running horizontally in the lower region of the door, behind which the recess is arranged in particular centrally with respect to a longitudinal axis of the door. This form of embodiment has proved to be particularly beneficial for preventing icing-up of the refrigerating appliance.
- According to a variant of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention, the seal is designed such and/or runs in such a manner over the recess that the seal and the recess form gaps which bound the side edges of the seal. This provides the prerequisites for the air to be able to flow beneath the seal from outside the refrigerating appliance into the interior.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention, the spatial extent of the recess perpendicular to the running direction of the seal is less than the width of the seal. It is thus possible to implement in a relatively simple manner the two gaps bounded by the side edges of the seal.
- The recess can preferably be designed as having a rectangular shape, which means that the recess can be manufactured relatively simply. The edge lengths may preferably be between 20 mm and 35 mm. By preference, the edge lengths in the running direction of the groove are a maximum of 35 mm, preferably 30 mm. At right angles to the running direction of the groove the edge lengths are preferably a maximum of 30 mm, preferably 26 mm.
- The recess can be formed into the inner side of the door preferably by means of forming, in particular by means of draw-forming, which can result in relatively cost-effective manufacture of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention.
- Depending on the embodiment of the refrigerating appliance according to the invention, the recess is for example draw-formed on the inner door (inner side of the door) in particular at the bottom in the seal groove, preferably in the center of the door. The air can thus flow beneath the seal into the interior of the refrigerating appliance (interior space), as a result of which a specific leakage is created. The cross-section of the leakage through the aperture (recess) should where applicable be adapted to suit the refrigerating appliance in question. If for example too large a recess is chosen, the refrigerating appliance according to the invention may unintentionally bedew or ice up. Too wide a recess should also not be chosen because it is then possible for the seal to be pulled out of the groove when the door is opened.
- The refrigerating appliance according to the invention offers a cost-effective solution because for example the additional pressure equalization valve used in conventional refrigerating appliances can be dispensed with. Moreover, the refrigerating appliance according to the invention can be manufactured cost-effectively because amongst other things the additional recess requires only a minor change to existing production tooling (low implementation costs). The prerequisites for a clean appearance are also provided. The recess according to the invention can be used with a relatively large number of refrigerating appliances, in particular freezers. The manufacture of the recess according to the invention in the inner door is additionally a relatively reliable process.
