Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator with a water filter and a winding condenser.
  • the water filter has mainly been located in the refrigerator compartment of the appliances, and occasionally in the appliance base.
  • the disadvantage arises that the device base must be increased, whereby the interior is reduced.
  • the problem arises that the useful content of the interior is reduced.
  • An object of the present invention is to arrange the water filter so that the space is better utilized.
  • the water filter is surrounded by a sleeve. This serves to protect the water filter from the heat radiation of the wound capacitor.
  • the sleeve preferably has heat radiation reflecting surfaces.
  • the water filter comprises a filter base and a replaceable in the filter base filter cartridge.
  • replacement of the filter cartridge can be performed relatively easily.
  • the filter base is disposed adjacent a first axial end of the central cavity, and the filter cartridge is insertable into the cavity from the other axial end.
  • the existing space in the central cavity is used particularly effectively.
  • the filter base is arranged axially outside the cavity.
  • the filter base can be relatively easily mounted in the refrigerator.
  • a blower motor can be introduced into the cavity and the filter base can be arranged in the cavity adjacent to the blower motor. If a fan motor is provided in the central cavity, the water filter can be arranged in the remaining part of the cavity. The filter base of the water filter may then be mounted adjacent to the fan motor.
  • a collecting tray is arranged at least under the filter base 2. This ensures that when changing the water filter possibly leaking water is collected in the drip tray and does not get into the interior of the refrigerator.
  • the inventive idea further provides that the filter cartridge can be inserted into the cavity through an opening formed in an outer wall of the housing of the refrigeration device. This makes the water filter easily accessible to the user and makes it easy to change the filter cartridge. When changing the water filter, it is then not necessary to open the device.
  • the opening may also be advantageous to arrange the opening at the front of the housing.
  • the refrigeration device is installed in a kitchenette or is on a wall, the water filter can be changed without having to adjust the refrigeration device.
  • the cartridge comprises a watertight capsule in which filter material is accommodated and a handle portion attached to the capsule.
  • the filter cartridge is detachably or non-detachably connected, for example by screwing, latching, gluing or welding with the handle portion. Since the handle can also serve as an extension, it allows the attachment of the filter in otherwise hard to reach places.
  • the filter handle there are numerous possibilities, for example with regard to shape and color. As a result, many filter handles can be produced, which differ significantly in their appearance.
  • the filter handle can completely, partially or not enclose the filter cartridge. By simply changing the filter handle filter cartridges can be easily differentiated.
  • the capsule may be protected and not visible to a user completely housed in the housing; the handle portion still allows easy handling of the filter cartridge.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic section through a refrigeration device.
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section through a water filter arranged according to the invention
  • Fig. 4 is a partial perspective sectional view of a handle portion, which is configured in a first preferred embodiment, and an end piece of a
  • FIG 5 shows a longitudinal section through a second arrangement of the water filter.
  • FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal section through a third arrangement of the water filter.
  • Fig. 7 is a plan view of a handle portion, which in a second preferred
  • Embodiment is formed.
  • the refrigerator shown schematically in Fig. 1 has in a conventional manner a housing 11 with a thermally insulated interior 25 and a device base 18 below the interior 25, in which a water filter 1 is housed.
  • the device base 18 also contains other components such as a compressor and a condenser, which, as known per se, are not shown.
  • the water filter 1 is connected via a line 29 to the water mains of a building and feeds an automatic ice maker 26, which is housed in the interior 25, and a dispenser 27 for chilled drinking water, which is housed in a niche of the door 30.
  • an automatic ice maker 26 which is housed in the interior 25
  • a dispenser 27 for chilled drinking water which is housed in a niche of the door 30.
  • Fig. 2 shows a section through the water filter 1 and its holder in the device base 18 according to a first embodiment.
  • the holder comprises a screw or bayonet base 2 with a radially oriented inlet 14 and an axially oriented outlet 15.
  • a filter cartridge 3 screwed or locked in the base 2 has a cup-shaped capsule 4 adjacent to its open side with one with the base 2 co-operating external thread or bayonet ribs is provided.
  • a multiply perforated tube 31 extends, from which a downstream end 35 on the base 2 the outlet 15 tightly rests.
  • a hollow cylindrical filter body 34 surrounds the tube 31.
  • Fig. 3 shows schematically the placement of the water filter 1.
  • the water filter 1 is mostly housed in a central cavity 7 of a winding condenser 6.
  • Filter base 2 is arranged axially outside the central cavity 7. At this
  • Air within the sleeve 8 is therefore constantly exchanged, so that air, which may have been heated despite the shielding by the sleeve 8, is discharged immediately.
  • the water filter 1 is kept cool. Since the water, which is led by the water filter, afterwards cooled as drinking water, or in Frozen form of ice cubes, it makes sense not to unnecessarily warm it.
  • the filter cartridge 3 here has an attached to the capsule 4 handle portion 5.
  • Fig. 4 shows the handle portion 5 in a preferred embodiment with an end portion of the capsule 4 in a perspective partial view.
  • the integrally molded plastic handle portion 5 has a cup or cup-shaped portion 21 which surrounds the end facing away from the base 2 of the capsule 4. This creates a comparatively large contact surface, which offers various possibilities for joining, for example pressing, gluing, welding or latching. From a bottom surface of the cup or cup-shaped portion is a rib 22 from which can easily grip and rotate a user to remove the filter cartridge 3 without the aid of tools.
  • Fig. 5 shows a second arrangement according to the invention of the water filter 1 within a housing 1 1 of a refrigerator.
  • Water filter 1, blower motor 10 and winding condenser 6 are arranged adjacent to an opening 12 in the housing 11. They are aligned so that the handle portion 5 faces the housing opening 12.
  • the cup-shaped section 21 terminates flush with the housing 1 1. This prevents a user when removing the filter cartridge 3 between the handle section 5 and the edge of the opening 12 pinches the fingers.
  • the rib 22 protrudes beyond the housing 11, so that reaching the rib 22 is facilitated.
  • Fig. 3 In contrast to the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 here is the filter base 2 within the central cavity 7 of the winding condenser 6.
  • fan motor 10 for a fan within the central cavity 7 of the winding condenser 6.
  • fan motor 10 and water filter. 1 arranged at the respective opposite axial ends of the central cavity 7.
  • Blower motor 10 and filter base 2 are adjacent to each other, so that the filter base 2 and the blower motor 10 can be attached to each other or to a common carrier (not shown).
  • Fig. 6 shows a collecting tray 9. This is arranged below the water filter 1 between the sleeve 8 and winding condenser 6. It extends in the axial direction from the opening 12 in the housing 1 1 to below the filter base 2. Furthermore an evaporation tray 13 is provided, which is arranged here below a drip edge 23 of the drip tray 9. By providing the drip tray 9 prevents water that might leak in a change of the filter cartridge 3, passes into the interior of the refrigerator. Water that exits when changing the filter cartridge 3 is collected in the drip tray 9 and directed into the evaporation tray 13.
  • the cup-shaped section 21 of the grip section 5 is countersunk in the housing 1 1.
  • the grip section is here provided with an annular web 16 which surrounds the rib 22. The upper edges of the web 16 and the rib 22 are flush with the housing 11.
  • Fig. 7 shows the front side of the handle portion 5 according to Figure 6 in a plan view.
  • a web 22 which a user can grip and rotate.
