Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a no-frost refrigerator with an evaporator chamber, an inner container and a cover which separates a storage chamber in the inner container from an air channel communicating with the evaporator chamber.
  • Such a no-frost refrigerator may have a single storage chamber or a plurality of storage chambers.
  • the cover serves to distribute over a plurality of holes distributed in it cold air from the air duct evenly into the storage chamber.
  • the cover may also be free of holes in order to supply cold air flowing in the air duct to a second storage chamber along a first storage chamber.
  • the object of the invention is to simplify the construction of such a device and thereby save items and manufacturing costs.
  • the cover is held on an integrally formed on the inner container undercut.
  • Such an undercut can be produced without difficulty in the known forms of the inner container by deep drawing from a plastic sheet.
  • a suitable for deep drawing such an inner container mold due to an increased number of moving parts is more expensive and costly than a mold for a free of undercuts inner container, but this additional effort is overcompensated by the elimination eigen- permanent fasteners and the tools required for their production and the elimination of the associated with the attachment of these fasteners labor.
  • the undercut can be formed particularly simply and advantageously in each case at the rear end of the ribbed fields. Since the rib fields are generally distributed in more or less uniform intervals over the height of the inner container, and the undercuts are distributed according to more or less evenly over the height and ensure a uniform, firm support of the cover.
  • a particularly secure hold of the cover results when the vertical edges of the cover each engage in a limited on the one hand by the undercut and on the other hand by a contact surface gap.
  • At least one of these contact surfaces is preferably formed by a one-piece molded from the inner container shoulder.
  • a second of the contact surfaces may be formed by a refrigerant line extending between the evaporator chamber and a compressor chamber of the refrigerator.
  • a refrigerant line may include, for example, a pressure tube and a suction pipe for the refrigerant surrounded by a jacket to which the cover abuts.
  • Such extending on the inside of the inner container refrigerant pipe is particularly useful when the inner container encloses the storage chamber and the evaporator chamber together and both are separated from each other by an inserted into the inner container intermediate wall.
  • the air duct has expediently an elongated cross-section.
  • a longitudinal side of the cross section is formed by the cover.
  • the cover may be supported on supports which cross the air duct in the transverse direction. The holder through these supports can be particularly effective prevent the cover bends and thereby their longitudinal edges out of engagement with the undercuts.
  • the supports can be easily and inexpensively formed on this second longitudinal side in one piece with the inner container.
  • a high stability of the supports is achievable by giving them a conical shape.
  • the cover is displaceable between a position in which it engages in a recess formed on the intermediate wall between the evaporator chamber and the bearing chamber, and a position in which the cover and the intermediate wall are spaced from one another. It is thus possible, during the assembly of the cover, to first bring it into engagement with the undercuts and then to displace it in order to also make the engagement in the recess and to enclose the cover in this way on three sides.
  • connections of supply lines of the evaporator chamber which are normally hidden behind the cover, may be exposed between the dividing wall and the cover. This allows for easy access and disconnection if necessary for maintenance or repair of evaporator chamber devices.
  • the cover In the engaging position, the cover is preferably held by releasable anchoring means.
  • anchoring means may be provided which engage in the supports and pass through slots of the cover.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vertical section through an inventive refrigeration device.
  • FIG. 2 shows a horizontal section through the refrigerator along the line M-II of FIG. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the inner container and the cover in an unconnected state
  • Fig. 4 is a partial perspective view of the inner container and the cover showing expansion rivets formed on the rear wall of the inner container for covering and fixing the cover to the posts;
  • Fig. 5 is a partial perspective view of the inner container and the cover, in which the cover is in a spaced-apart from a partition between the storage chamber and the evaporator chamber position.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic vertical section through an inventive refrigeration device.
  • the refrigerator has a body 1 and a door 2, each in a conventional manner by a solid outer skin 3 and a plastic deep-drawn inner wall, in the case of the body 1 referred to as inner container 4, and an enclosed between these parts insulating foam layer 5 are formed.
  • the interior of the inner container 4 is divided by a likewise heat-insulating partition 6 into an evaporator chamber 7 and a storage chamber 8.
  • An air inlet passage 9, passes through the air from the storage chamber 8 in the evaporator chamber 7, is on one of the door 2 facing edge of the partition. 6 educated.
  • An accommodated in the evaporator chamber 7 evaporator 10 is by a refrigerant line 1 1 (see Fig. 2) with a compressor 12 and a condenser, which are housed in a recess 13 in the lower rear region of the body 1.
  • a fan 14 with a paddle wheel 15 and a motor 16 which sucks air from the evaporator 10 and presses through an air outlet passage 17 between the rear edge of the partition wall 6 and the rear wall 18 of the inner container in an air channel 19.
  • the air duct 19 extends downwardly between the rear wall 18 of the inner container and a plate-shaped cover 20th
  • each fin field 22 comprises two horizontal ribs 23, 24, between which extends a groove 25 which is provided to receive in known manner the edges of a storage tray, not shown, or a guide bar of an extension box.
  • a pin 26 is formed at the rear wall 18 adjacent end of the upper rib 23 of each rib field 22, with the exception of the closest to the partition wall 6, . The back of each pin 26 forms an undercut 27 on which the vertical edges of the cover 20 are held in a form-fitting manner.
  • cover 20 To hold the cover 20 are also formed from the rear wall 18 of the inner container shaped conical supports 28 whose tips touch the cover 20 along a slightly offset against the cutting plane of Fig. 1 vertical center plane and where the cover 20 is held by means of expansion rivets 29 of which in Fig. 1 only the head is visible.
  • slot-shaped openings 30 are broken in the cover 20 at regular intervals, passes through the cold air from the air duct 19 into the storage chamber 8.
  • Each compartment of the storage chamber between two storage plates is associated with at least one opening 30, via which it is supplied with cold air.
  • Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section along the designated in Fig. 1 with M-Il plane through the rear portion of the inner container 4 and its surroundings.
  • the cutting plane extends through one of the conical pins 26 and an expansion rivet 29, which, fixed by a vertical slot of the cover 20, the latter fixed to the support 28.
  • the lateral edges of the cover 20 are each enclosed in grooves, one flank of which is formed by the undercut 27 of one of the pins 26.
  • the other flank is formed in the upper edge of the cover 20 in FIG. 2 by a shoulder 31 which is integrally formed on the rear wall 18 and bounds the air duct 19 laterally, in the case of the lower edge by the refrigerant line 1 1.
  • a suction pipe 33 passes through the vaporized refrigerant from the evaporator 10 to the compressor 12, and guided at the level of the cutting plane M-Il inside the suction pipe 33 pressure tube 34, which supplies liquid refrigerant from the condenser to the evaporator 10.
  • An electrical line 40 or a wiring harness extends in the sectional plane of Figure 2 outside of the foam body 32; below the cutting plane, it may also be guided within the foam body, so that all lines together at the lower end of the air channel can be guided and sealed by a single passage of the inner container 4.
  • the refrigerant line 1 1 crosses the inner container 4 at the level of the lower end of the air duct 19th
  • 3 and 4 each show a perspective view of the upper portion of the inner container 4 and the cover 20 in a separated state.
  • Cover 20 is a substantially rectangular metal or flexible plate
  • the cover Adjacent to the projections 35, the cover has two holes 36 which are provided to releasably an expansion rivet, a screw or other suitable fastener 37th
  • the already mentioned elongated holes, through which the cover 20 to the supports 28 anchoring expansion rivets 29 extend, are designated 38.
  • the apertures 30 are each arranged in groups of three except for the uppermost, which extend over almost the entire width of the cover 20.
  • Each group of openings is associated with one of several compartments of the storage chamber, which are delimited from each other by a pair of ribbed panels 22 and storage panels supported by these ribbed panels.
  • the uppermost group comprises only one opening 30, because, as can be seen in Fig.
  • the width of the air duct 19 in its upper region from top to bottom increases only gradually at the expense of the width of the shoulder 31 so as to be separated from the air outlet passage 17 Width substantially equal to the diameter of the impeller 15 corresponds to the air duct 19 to provide a continuous transition.
