Definitions

• This invention relates to a cooling device comprising lockable chambers.
• Cooling devices particularly the refrigerators, comprise a body, one or more chambers providing different cooling conditions or multiple usable volumes in the body, and one or more shelves onto which food and beverage to be cooled are placed and one or more doors which provides access inside the body by opening and closing.
• the chambers are designed to function in a way determined by the producer, not user or product specific, problems may arise in personal use or in special products such as medicines. For example, when medicines are stored in refrigerator chambers with doors, which cannot be locked, and with uncontrolled conditions, children and other people with restricted access can access medicines easily.
• TR2005-01467U a description is given of a cooling device with an electronic control system, which can be controlled remotely.
• the object of this invention is the realization of a cooling device having chambers with controllable operational conditions and key coded to be used separately.
• the cooling device comprises more than one chamber with controllable internal conditions, the doors of which can be locked and opened by only personal codes.
• Figure 1 - Is the perspective view of a cooling device.
• Figure 2 - Is the perspective view of a cooling device with its doors and covers open.
• Figure 3 Is the schematic front view of a cooling device.
• Figure 4 Is the schematic side view of a cooling device.
• Figure 5 Is the schematic view of a lock and a cabinet.
• the cooling device (1) comprises a compressor (13), an evaporator (10) and a condenser (12) constituting the cooling cycle. [0017] The cooling device (1) further comprises,
• a control panel placed on the cabinet (2) or on the door (4), providing the entry of the commands related to all chambers (3) from a single location without opening the door (4), providing the user to enter a key code in order to open the lock (6), and enabling the user to select cooling parameters of the chamber (3) the key code of which is entered correctly, and
• a control card (7) providing execution of the commands entered using the control panel (15), controlling the cooling cycle, locking and unlocking the lock (6) of the chamber (3) the code of which is entered using the control panel (15).
• the locks (6) on the chambers (3) are locked by the control panel (15) located on the door (4), the cabinet (2) or the chamber (3).
• the user first enters a code definition by means of the control panel (15) for controlling the lock (6) of a chamber (3) and locks the lock (6) by means of the control card (7).
• the lock (6) controlling the chamber (3) is deactivated by entering the code using the control panel (15) and access into the chamber (3) is enabled. After the code entry is done using the control panel (15), the entered code is detected by means of the control card (7), and the lock (6) is unlocked if it matches with the code identified and recorded to the control card (7), otherwise the lock (6) is kept closed.
• a control card (7) which controls both the locks (6) and the cooling cycles of the chambers (3) closed by the locks (6), providing different temperature values in each chamber (3) by transferring the cool air passed over the evaporator (10) to the required chamber (3) in required amounts by means of the dampers (9) and the channels (11), if the correct code is entered.
• the control card (7) controls the cooling cycles of the cabinet (2) and the chambers (3), the operation of the fan (14) and the dampers (9) according to the data received from the sensors (8). These operations are realized by the control card (7) activating the dampers (9) according to the users choices.
• the cool air, passed over the evaporator (10) by means of the fan (14) and the cooling cycle, is transferred to the required chambers (3) in required amounts by means of the channels (11) and the dampers (9), wherein the temperature of the evaporator (10) is lower than the temperature of the medium.
• it is provided to have different temperature values in each chamber (3).
• the lode (6) comprises a solenoid (16) placed on the chamber (3) or the cover (5), a pin (17) activated by the magnetic field created by the electrified solenoid (16), a socket (18) into which the pin (17) is inserted or from which the pin (17) is removed so as to open or close the cover (5), and a spring (19) providing the pin (17) to return to its original position, as the magnetic field loses its effect.
• the user provides the control card (7) to apply a voltage on the solenoid (16) by entering the code after the codes for the lodes (6) which control the chambers (3) are identified. In this way, a magnetic field is created around the solenoid
• the cooling device (1) comprises an indicator (20), which is positioned on the control panel (15) and indicates the opened cover (5).
• the lode (6) functions mechanically and controlled by an actuator, which is controlled by the control card (6).
• the cover (5) is not opened in a specific period of time determined by the producer the relocking of the cover is provided even the code is entered correctly. In this way, the chamber (3) is prevented from being open as a result of the users forgetfulness. If the user wants to access the chamber (3) at the end of this time period, he has to re-enter the code using the control panel (15) to open the lode (6).
• control card (7) also enables the door (4) to be opened and closed with the code which is entered using the control panel (15) in order to open a chamber (3).
• the user can define another code for the door (4) when desired.
• the covers (5) of one or more chambers (3) can be opened and closed using digital key codes. In this way, the users can use personal chambers (3) in the cooling devices (1) with their personal codes in places with a lot of people such as schools, hostels, hospitals, gyms.
