Abstract
A refrigeration device includes a storage area which is delimited by a body and a door and which is subdivided by a shelf into an upper and a lower compartment. A drawer is accommodated in the lower compartment. In a stop position of the drawer in which it is pushed into the lower compartment, a front wall of the drawer bears against a front edge of the shelf. A closure element can be moved across a passage or opening in the shelf between a position which blocks the passage and a position which opens the passage over at least part of its cross section.
Description
- The present invention relates to a refrigeration device, in particular a household refrigeration device, which is particularly suitable for storing refrigerated goods which are susceptible to drying out. Fresh food such as fruit, vegetables, salads or fresh herbs release moisture into their surroundings until an equilibrium has been reached between them and the ambient air. Moisture that these types of food release into the air in a storage chamber of a refrigeration device generally condenses after a short time on an evaporator that cools the storage chamber, such that the humidity never reaches a saturation level. Hence the foods continuously release moisture, dry out quickly and become unsightly.
- From WO 2013 186 128 A1 a household refrigeration device is known, in which a cover is suspended from a shelf subdividing the storage area and which in the closed position rests on a drawer, forming a tight fit. By way of closable openings of the cover a user can adjust the strength of the exchange of air between the interior of the drawer and the surrounding storage area.
- Although this design enables precise control of the exchange of air between the drawer and the surrounding storage area and in particular a good air-tight separation between drawer and storage area, it is however also to some degree complex and costly in implementation, such that it has prevailed only in refrigeration devices in the upper price range. In order also to provide a storage area with controllable humidity in low-cost refrigeration devices, a simpler, more inexpensive design is required.
- The object of the present invention is to specify such a design.
- The object is achieved in that in the case of a refrigeration device with a storage area which is delimited by a body and a door, wherein the storage area is subdivided by a shelf into an upper and a lower compartment and a drawer is accommodated in the lower compartment, in a stop position of the drawer in which it is pushed into the lower compartment a front wall of the drawer bears against a front edge of the shelf, the shelf has a passage, and a closure element can be moved between a position blocking the passage and a position opening the passage over at least part of its cross-section. Since in the stop position the front wall of the drawer bears against the front edge of the shelf or the stop position is actually defined by the abutment of the front wall on the edge of the shelf, an exchange of air between the interior of the drawer and its surroundings is ruled out in the stop position, at least along the front wall. This type of seal may be sufficient in itself, if the front wall in the stop position closes the lower compartment accommodating the drawer; if this is not the case, other solutions which are described in greater detail below are provided for preventing the exchange of air along the side walls of the drawer. Mounting the passage in the shelf renders superfluous a lid for the drawer as a component separate from the shelf.
- To be easily accessible for a user, the passage is preferably arranged adjacent to the front edge of the shelf.
- If in a manner known per se the shelf comprises a frame and a plate bordered by the frame, the passage is preferably recessed from the frame.
- As a closure element which does not impede any other use of the drawer, a slide that moves in the plane of the passage is preferably provided.
- Such a slide can be composed of two elements, one of which in each case forms a top wall and the other a lower side wall of a groove, into which the plate or a web of the frame engages, in order to guide the displacement movement of the slide between the position blocking the passage and the open position.
- The frame can in particular have a web provided with openings, the openings of which form the part of the cross-section of the passage which is exposed in the open position, and which lies opposite one edge of the plate, such that the slide can be displaced between the position blocking the passages of the web and an open position, in which parts of the slide protrude onto the plate.
- In order to prevent an exchange of air between the interior of the drawer by way of gaps between the shelf and the upper edges of the side walls of the drawer, attachment wall elements can be detachably mounted on side walls of the drawer.
- Instead of the attachment wall elements that move with the drawer when it is pulled out, side wall elements suspended from the shelf can also be provided, which in the pushed-in stop position of the drawer seal its side walls.
- Preferably the side wall elements are connected to one another via a rear wall element. The rear wall element can on the one hand serve to fix the side wall elements in respect of one another, and to ensure that in the pushed-in stop position both simultaneously seal the upper edges of the side walls; it can however also itself exhibit a sealing function between a rear wall of the drawer and the shelf.
- Preferably the upper edges of the side walls of the drawer and if appropriate also the rear wall form sealing surfaces which in the pushed-in stop position bear on the suspended side and/or rear wall elements. If the side walls and where appropriate the rear wall of the drawer are braced by webs angled along their upper edges, the tops of said webs can in particular serve as sealing surfaces.
- The side wall elements can be suspended from the shelf with vertical play, in order to equalize any manufacturing tolerances.
- Expediently the side wall elements can then each at their upper edge have a flange facing the shelf which, by forming a narrow gap together with the shelf, cannot completely prevent the exchange of air between the interior of the drawer and the surrounding storage area, but can at least severely restrict it.
- The restricted exchange of air between the interior of the drawer and its surroundings can mean that condensation forms when the humidity in the drawer is high. To make it harder for the condensate to come into contact with refrigerated goods stored in the drawer, the drawer can have an elevated floor plate, at the deepest points of which condensate can collect, while higher points lying in between protect the refrigerated goods and keep them away from the condensate. Locally deepest points of the floor plate are preferably adjacent to the walls of the drawer, firstly because such points are that much more difficult for the refrigerated goods to reach, the closer they lie to the walls, and secondly because the condensate overwhelmingly forms on the walls of the drawer.
- Further features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description of exemplary embodiments provided below, with reference to the attached figures, in which:

FIG. 12 shows a detail of a side wall element of the sealing frame in perspective view; and -
FIG. 13 shows a section through a rear wall element of the sealing frame in a position sealing the drawer. -
FIG. 1 shows a schematic section through a household refrigeration device, with abody 1 and adoor 2 which surround a refrigeratedstorage area 3. Ashelf 4 subdivides thestorage area 3 into an upper compartment 5 and alower compartment 6. Anevaporation chamber 7 is directly connected to thelower compartment 6 via a channel 8, such that by means of an intensive feed of cold air from theevaporation chamber 7 in the lower compartment 6 a lower temperature can be maintained than in the upper compartment 5. - A
drawer 9 is accommodated in thelower compartment 6.Gaps 10 between thedrawer 9 and the walls of thecompartment 6 enable a free circulation of cold air around thedrawer 9. - The
drawer 9 has afront wall 11 which protrudes aboveside walls 12 andrear wall 13 and in the pushed-in stop position of thedrawer 9 shown closely touches a front edge of thecompartment 4. Theside walls 12 haveupper edges 14 sloping downward toward therear wall 13.Attachment wall elements 15 mounted on said upper edges extend as far as immediately below theshelf 4. -
FIG. 2 shows theshelf 4 in a perspective view. It comprises aplate 16 made of safety glass, which is bounded by anextruded frame 17 made of plastic. Afront profile 18 bordering the front edge of theplate 16 is wider than theside profile 19 and arear profile 20 of the frame and provides space for apassage 21, which in the illustration inFIG. 2 is closed by aslide 22 that moves in the depth direction. - As can be seen in
FIG. 3 , theslide 22 is composed of an upper and alower element Base plates elements spacers 27, such that aperipheral groove 28 is formed along their edges. Theelements latching hooks 29 which protrude from one of thebase plates slots 30 of the other base plate. -
FIG. 4 shows theslide 22 in the position closing thepassage 21 partly in a perspective view, and partly in section. Aweb 31 of thefront frame profile 18 and the front edge of theplate 16 engage on respectively opposing sides into thegroove 28 of theslide 22. Theplate 16 does not extend as far as a base of thegroove 28, such that theslide 22, guided by aweb 32 of theprofile 18 which is shown by a dashed line inFIG. 4 and which engages on a narrow side of theslide 22 into thegroove 28, can be moved from the position inFIG. 4 into a position shown inFIG. 5 , in which theweb 31 is largely exposed and an exchange of air is possible viaopenings 33 of theweb 31 between the upper compartment 5 and the interior of thedrawer 9 arranged above the shelf and hence moisture can escape from thedrawer 9. The magnitude of the exchange of air can be controlled by a user, by selecting a position of theslide 22 between the two extreme positions inFIGS. 4 and 5 , in which theopenings 33 are more or less extensively concealed. - In order to minimize an exchange of air between the interior of the
drawer 9 and its surroundings that cannot be controlled by the user, a seal is provided between the front edge of theshelf 4 and thefront wall 11 of thedrawer 9. As shown inFIG. 6 , this seal can be designed as aflexible lip 34 on the front edge of theshelf 4, which is pressed into contact with the rear side of thefront wall 11; alternatively such a seal could also be attached to the rear side of thefront wall 11. -
FIG. 7 shows the structure of thedrawer 9 in greater detail in an exploded perspective view. Abase part 35 formed integrally from plastic forms thebase plate 36, theside walls 12 and therear wall 13 of thedrawer 9. Along theirupper edges 14, 37 thewalls webs 38 projecting outward. - The
front wall 11 manufactured from transparent plastic is latched onto thebase part 35. Thebase plate 36 which is partially visable through thefront wall 11 has an elevation in the form of a ribbedcentral plateau 40 surrounded by atrench 39 extending as far as the base of thewalls trench 39, such that refrigerated goods lying on the ribs of the central plateau are protected against the penetration of moisture. - The
side walls 12 attain their greatest height directly at their front end; along a large part of their length they run a few centimeters deeper, at a considerable distance from theshelf 4, such that they prevent an intensive exchange of air between thedrawer 9 and its surroundings. If refrigerated goods which are susceptible to drying out are to be accommodated in thedrawer 9, it is expedient to close these passages with the help of theattachment wall elements 15. Theattachment wall elements 15 are plastic plates molded as complementary to the course of theupper edges 14, 37 of side andrear wall hooks 41 for latching onto thewebs 38 of thewalls hooks 41, thewebs 38 are, as shown in a side view of a rear upper corner of thedrawer 9 inFIG. 8 , in each case provided on part of their length with downwardly protrudingribs 42. -
FIG. 9 shows, in a view analogous toFIG. 8 , theattachment wall element 15 mounted on thedrawer 9. Thehooks 41, with which theattachment wall element 15 is clamped to side andrear wall 12, 37 extend along theedges walls 12, 37 in each case over a length of a few centimeters and thanks to alongitudinal slot 43 can be elastically deformed, such that a latchinglug 44 which is molded on a part of thehook 41 lying underneath thelongitudinal slot 43 can be elastically deflected to be in contact with therib 42 and, as illustrated in FIG. 9, can latch behind therib 42, in order to fix theattachment wall element 15 in form-locking manner. -
FIG. 10 shows in perspective view asealing frame 45 which is provided instead of the attachment wall elements described above for sealing the intermediate space between the upper edges of side andrear wall 12, 37 andshelf 4. The sealing frame comprises twoside wall elements 46, the lower edges of which are molded complementary to the course of theupper edges 14 of theside walls 12 like those of theattachment wall elements 40 inFIG. 7 . Theside wall elements 46 are connected to one another by arear wall element 47. In order to create space for thisrear wall element 47, the rear wall 37 of thedrawer 9 of theregion 48 shown inFIG. 7 projecting over the rear ends of theside walls 12 is omitted in this embodiment, and instead the upper edge of therear wall 13 runs horizontally between the corners. - Horizontally outward projecting
flanges 49 are molded on the upper edges of the side wall andrear wall elements upper edges flanges 50 project horizontally inward.Hooks 51 project along the upper edge of therear wall element 47, which, as shown inFIG. 11 , are provided to encompass arib 52 projecting on therear profile 20 of theshelf 4 and hence to anchor the sealingframe 45 in a suspended manner on theshelf 4. - Adjacent their front ends the
side wall elements 46 in each case have apin 53 shown inFIG. 12 in an enlarged view which engages with play into atab 54 projecting downward from itsside profile 19. - As is apparent from the sectional illustration in
FIG. 13 , the engagement of thehooks 51 on therib 52 of theshelf 4 also has slight play in the vertical direction, such that if, when thedrawer 9 is pushed in, theupper edges 14 of theside walls 12 hit against theflange 49 of the sealingframe 45 prior to reaching the stop position, the sealingframe 45 can divert upward. In order to prevent this type of swerving movement, agap 55 between the sealingframe 45 and theshelf 4 must be open providing the sealingframe 45 hangs free and without contact with thedrawer 9 on theshelf 4, saidshelf 4, if thedrawer 9 is located in the stop position, normally narrowing as a result of lifting the sealingframe 45, but not being completely closed. Thanks to theflange 50 on the top of the sealingframe 45 the path which air must traverse in thisgap 55 in order to be exchanged between the interior of thedrawer 9 and the surroundings thereof must be considerably lengthened and accordingly the exchange of air is so greatly restricted by thegap 55 that the climate in thedrawer 9 can be controlled by the position of theslide 22. - 1 Body
