Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator that is specially adapted to the storage of perishable goods.
- the interior of a refrigerator is divided by a plurality of shelves or pull-out boxes in compartments that can be loaded with refrigerated goods. If several refrigerated goods of the same kind, but loaded with different expiration dates in the refrigerator, it depends conventionally on the attention of the user, whether the containers are removed and consumed before expiry of their maximum storage life, or if individual containers are forgotten in the refrigerator and spoil.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device, which makes it possible to invite newly procured refrigerated goods in the refrigerator without having to unload a residual supply before, and that it is nevertheless suitable to ensure that the remaining stock before the new purchase from the refrigerator to consume is removed.
- the refrigeration device is equipped with a storage device having a feed access, a removal access and a channel includes, on the channel via the feed access input chunk refrigerated goods while maintaining its order to the removal access is movable.
- the channel is a shaft
- charging and removal access are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the shaft, so that refrigerated goods can be loaded into the shaft from above, but only then can be removed below when all refrigerated goods previously located in the shaft have been removed.
- the channel of the bearing device extends substantially horizontally and is movable by coupled along the channel
- Shovels divided into a plurality of cells.
- each of these cells is sized to receive a piece of refrigerated goods. If a cell is on
- Charging access is loaded and then the loaded piece of refrigerated goods is pushed into the channel to take the blades, or directly the blades are moved, a new cell is transported to the removal access, and a piece of refrigerated goods contained in this cell is ready for removal from the refrigerator ready.
- the blades are attached to a paddle wheel.
- a second embodiment provides that the blades are attached to an endless belt.
- a bearing device with such an endless belt may have a different depth from its width, which is preferably adapted to the depth of the interior of the refrigerator, and thus enables improved space utilization in the refrigerator.
- a bottom of the channel is formed by a rotatable plate, so that refrigerated goods loaded in the channel can be conveyed from the loading port to the unloading port by rotating the plate.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerator with storage devices according to the first and third embodiments.
- FIG. 2 is a horizontal section through a bearing device combining features of the second and third embodiments
- Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through a bearing device according to the second embodiment.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a refrigerator 1 in a table construction, in which an open door 2 opens the view into its interior 3.
- the interior 3 is subdivided in a manner known per se by shelves 4 into a plurality of compartments.
- a first bearing device 5 is here shown mounted on an inner side of the door 2.
- the storage device 5 has the shape of a high-walled box made of plastic, in the walls in the vicinity of the bottom 6 of the storage device 5 is cut on the side facing away from the door 2, a removal opening 7, through which a container 8 can be pulled out in the horizontal direction.
- the top of the storage device 5 is open and so far away from an arranged above her door racks 9, that in each case a container 8 can be pushed between the upper edge of the storage device 5 and the door rack 9 and dropped into the shaft. Thus, in each case only the first loaded container 8 can be removed from the storage device 5.
- the storage device 5 is particularly suitable for containers 8 of predetermined narrow shape and with a flat top that allows them to accommodate very compact.
- a second storage device 10 is arranged on one of the shelves 4. From this storage device 10, only a turntable can be seen in the figure, can be placed on the refrigerated goods 8.
- On the underside of the circular hub is centrally and rotatably mounted a suction cup, and a WälzMechkafig is trapped in known from axial rolling bearings in a concentric groove on the underside of the hub, so that the rolling elements, when the turntable by means of the suction cup on the shelf. 4 is fixed, on the one hand the shelf 4 and - A -
- Removal and Beschickungszugang 1 1 of the storage device 10 need not be defined by openings in a housing in this embodiment, since the user involuntarily loading and unloading the turntable at the most accessible to him in the vicinity of the front edge of the shelf 4. In the illustration of Fig. 1, the removal and feed access 1 1 is temporarily limited by next to the device 10 parked on the same shelf 4 refrigerated goods 12th
- the correct order of unloading is ensured by the pawl mechanism; if such is not present, a simple mark on the bearing device 10, which indicates a desired direction of rotation to the user, may suffice.
- An advantage of the storage device 10 with respect to the storage device 5 is that no strict requirements are placed on the shape of the container 8, for which the storage device 10 is available. Even containers of different shapes can be accommodated in the storage device 10 at the same time.
- FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a storage device 15, which can be placed on a shelf 4 instead of the storage device 10, for example.
- the bearing device 15 shown in a horizontal section has a housing with a substantially cylindrical outer wall 16 which is cut in one place to form a removal / feed access 11.
- a paddle wheel 18 is arranged rotatably about a vertical axis.
- a pawl mechanism or the like may be provided to allow rotation of the paddle wheel 18 only in the direction indicated by the arrow P direction.
- Six blades 19 of the paddle wheel 18 divide the interior of the storage device 15 into six cells for receiving a respective container 8.
- FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a storage device 15, which can be placed on a shelf 4 instead of the storage device 10, for example.
- the bearing device 15 shown in a horizontal section has a housing with a substantially cylindrical outer wall 16 which is cut in one place to form a removal / feed access 11.
- a paddle wheel 18 is arranged rotatably about a vertical axis.
- the removal / feed access 1 1 extends over two cells, so that at the same time in one of the two exposed Cells set and out of the other can be removed.
- the access 11 could also be only half as wide and release a single cell for successive unloading and loading.
- the bearing device 20 likewise shown in a horizontal section in FIG. 3 represents a further development of the bearing device 15.
- the rigid paddle wheel 18 is replaced by an endless belt circulating around a central guide 21, here in the form of a link chain 22, at regular intervals the blades 19 protrude.
- the guide 21 is a stationary wall, e.g. can be integrally molded with bottom 17 and outer wall 16 made of plastic; Alternatively, this wall could also be replaced by pulleys for the link chain 22.
- the length L of the guide 21 is selectable regardless of its width B, so that the storage device 20 for a given refrigeration device can each be designed so that it extends over the entire depth of the interior and thus makes good use of the available space.
