Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration device, in particular a household refrigeration device, having a deep-drawn inner container with an open front and a main cavity deep-drawn in the depth direction of the inner container, and an upwardly deep-drawn protuberance on a ceiling of the main cavity, as well as a refrigeration device having such an inner container.
  • An inducement to provide a protuberance on the ceiling can exist in particular in the inner container of the lower storage compartment of a combination refrigerator, since an intermediate wall between the storage compartments at their front edge in order to provide sufficient space for adjacent door seals must be thicker than for one thermal isolation of the two compartments from each other is required.
  • By forming a protuberance on the ceiling additional volume can be added to the inner container of the lower storage compartment.
  • the DE 10 2005 057 165 A1 describes a refrigerator with a storage chamber delimiting a one-piece deep-drawn plastic inner container.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a refrigeration device with a deep-drawn inner container which enables a refrigerated goods carrier to be attached in the vicinity of a ceiling, even though an upward protuberance is deep-drawn in this.
  • Such a support surface can be easily implemented in particular on a rear wall of the inner container or in the vicinity thereof.
  • the bearing surface is formed in a transition zone between a rear wall and a side wall of the inner container.
  • the support surface is preferably part of a recess in the inner container that is open to the main cavity. This recess can restrict the freedom of movement of a tip engaging in it both in the height and in the width direction of the inner container.
  • the adapter In order to provide stable support for a built-in part in such a refrigeration device, it is according to the invention to be held by an adapter at a support point of the inner container beyond the support on the at least one support surface. Since the adapter is not subject to the shape restrictions caused by the technology of deep-drawing, it can ensure reliable support for the built-in part with simple attachment.
  • the adapter cannot be removed from the inner container or can only be removed with great effort, the built-in part supported by the adapter can be easily removed.
  • the mounting of the adapter at the correct height on the inner container can be ensured in that the support point is arranged in a recess in the side wall and the adapter is positioned in height by engaging in the recess.
  • a tight fit of the adapter on the inner container can be achieved by screwing it to the support point.
  • the adapter itself which also rests on the support surface and for this purpose extends along a side wall of the inner container.
  • the built-in part can comprise a plate which is stationary on the adapter.
  • the adapter can have an elastically deflectable finger which runs obliquely from above onto the top of the plate.
  • the finger is preferably arranged adjacent to an end of the adapter which is opposite the end of the adapter supported on the support surface.
  • the plate can easily lock into place on the adapter by pivoting about an axis adjacent to the supported end.
  • the adapter can be in one piece, for example in the form of a frame surrounding the plate.
  • the plate is held by two adapters which are mounted on two opposite sides of the inner container.
  • the refrigerated goods carrier comprises a pull-out shell.
  • a stop contour can be formed on the adapter. Furthermore, two can each other opposing adapters have two converging flanks which center the shell in its inserted stop position.
  • the free volume created by the protuberance on the ceiling of the inner container can expediently be used to accommodate an evaporator, in particular a lamellar evaporator.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-section through a refrigerator designed as a refrigerator and freezer combination, in the body 1 of which two separate storage zones, for example a normal refrigerator compartment 2 and a freezer compartment 3, are formed.
  • the body 1 is assembled in a manner known per se from outer wall elements 4 made of sheet metal, plastic and / or hard fiber material and two inner containers 5, 6 deep-drawn from plastic. While the inner container 5 of the normal refrigeration compartment is free of undercuts, so that a deep-drawing tool with a one-piece , Sufficient stamp displaceable in the depth direction of the body 1, the inner container 6 of the freezer compartment 3 has on its ceiling 12 an upwardly directed protuberance 7 which extends transversely to the cutting plane of the Fig.
  • An at least two-part die is used to form the inner container 6, with a substantially cuboid main part which forms a main cavity 6a of the inner container 6, and a ceiling slide which can be extended upward from the main part and which forms the protuberance 7. Due to the protuberance 7, a horizontal partition 8 between the compartments 2, 3 at a front edge, on the right in the figure, is considerably thicker than in a central and rear area. The great wall thickness at the front edge of the partition 8 is required in order to have a sufficient contact surface for seals of the doors (not shown) of the two compartments 2, 3.
  • the wall thickness is determined by the requirement for the most effective possible insulation of the compartments 2, 3 and thus a low energy consumption of the device with a large volume of the compartments 2, 3 and, accordingly, the smallest possible volume of the insulation material layer between the Represent inner containers 5, 6 and the outer wall elements 4.
  • the thickness of the partition wall 8 is therefore generally smaller in its central rear region, above the protuberance 7, than that of the rear wall 9 or of side walls of the body 1.
  • the protuberance 7 is separated from the rest of the freezer compartment 3 by an intermediate wall 10 of low thickness.
  • a horizontal front area of the intermediate wall 10 extends approximately at the level of a lower edge 11 of the ceiling 12 of the inner container 6.
  • a gap 13 between the lower edge 11 and a front edge of the intermediate wall 10 allows air to flow from the freezer compartment 3 to an in the undercut 7 housed evaporator 14, which is designed in the present case as a lamellar evaporator.
  • the air flow is driven by a fan 15, which is located adjacent to the rear wall 9 partly in the protuberance 7, partly behind a sloping section of the partition 10 and presses air sucked in via the gap 13 and cooled at the evaporator 14 into a distribution channel 16, which presses the rear wall 9 runs downwards and is separated from the freezer compartment 3 by a vertical partition 17 with outlet openings 18 distributed therein.
  • a fan 15 which is located adjacent to the rear wall 9 partly in the protuberance 7, partly behind a sloping section of the partition 10 and presses air sucked in via the gap 13 and cooled at the evaporator 14 into a distribution channel 16, which presses the rear wall 9 runs downwards and is separated from the freezer compartment 3 by a vertical partition 17 with outlet openings 18 distributed therein.
  • the freezer compartment 3 here contains three pull-out drawers 19, 20, 21, of which the top one, 19, has a lower height than the protuberance 7.
  • a flat pull-out box can be used to store fragile, fragile frozen food such as berries, herb packs or ice packs.
  • the pull-out box 19 is in present case on a stationary plate 22, which covers the pull-out box 20 underneath in its inserted position.
  • the plate 22 is supported on both side walls of the inner container 6 via adapters 23, one of which is shown in FIG Fig. 2 can be seen in an exploded perspective view.
  • a shallow depression 25 extends in the horizontal direction on the side wall 24 of the inner container 6, which is shown in detail.
  • the bottoms of the recesses 25 facing each other in pairs are also divergent towards the front of the body 1, albeit at a smaller angle than the side walls 24.
  • a front end of the recesses 25 there is one Opening cut into the bottom of the recess 25, in which a backing part 26 with a recess for anchoring a fastening means, here with a blind hole 27 with a thread for fastening a screw, is arranged.
  • a recess 29 open to the front is formed, which on the side facing away from the viewer an outwardly into the between Inner container 6 and outer wall elements attached insulation material corresponds to directed projection.
  • the cross section of the recess 29 in the front view corresponds approximately to a lying T.
  • the recess 29 is provided to receive a complementary projection 30 on the rear end of the plastic injection-molded adapter 23 in the vertical direction and in the width direction of the body 1 in a form-fitting manner.
  • the adapter 23 is firmly mounted by screwing a screw (not shown) through a screw hole 32 at the front end of the base plate 31 into the blind thread 27 after it has been placed in the recess 29 and the recess 25.
  • a support web 33 which is elongated in the depth direction of the body 1 and is provided to support the plate 22, extends from the base plate 31. At its rear end, the support web 33 merges into a groove 34 which receives a rear corner of the plate 22 in a form-fitting manner.
  • the plate 22 is fixed in the depth direction by an upright web 35 at the front end of the support web 33.
  • An elastic finger 36 protruding obliquely downward from the base plate 31 is formed at an opening in the base plate 31.
  • the width of the plate 22 is dimensioned so that when it first engages with its rear corners in the grooves 34 of the opposing adapters 23 during its assembly and then its front edge is pivoted downward, the fingers 36 of the two adapters 23 are elastically pushed aside and pivot back again when the plate 22 rests on the support webs 33. The plate is thus secured in its position on the adapter 23 and can only be removed again if the fingers 36 are pushed aside.
  • a projection 37 is formed on the free lower end of the fingers 36, which protrusion lies against a lateral edge of the plate 22 in the fully assembled state. Since the projections 37 of the two fingers 36 press against the plate 22 from opposite directions, the latter is also kept free of play in the width direction despite possible dimensional tolerances of the inner container 6 on the adapters 23.
  • Shim strips 38 made of a rigid plastic are arranged lying along the lateral edges of the plate 22 in order to ensure direct contact between the plate 22 and the in Fig. 2 To prevent pull-out drawer 19, not shown, slidable on the plate 22.
  • the backing strips 38 prevent the creation of grinding marks on the plate 22 by the movement of the pull-out box 19. By also reducing the contact area on which the bottom of the box 19 rests, they prevent the likelihood that it will freeze, or in the case of the Freezing to loosen the box 19 force required.
  • An angular projection 39 protruding from the base plate 31 above the support web 33 serves as a stop, which the in Fig. 1
  • the stop position of the pull-out drawer 19 shown completely pushed into the freezer compartment 3 is defined by contact with its rear wall.
  • the stop position is set in such a way that the pull-out drawer 19 and the partition wall 10 do not directly touch one another in it.
  • a gap 40 remains between the pull-out drawer 19 and the partition 10 ( Fig. 1 ), through which cold air can wipe over the pull-out drawer 19.
  • Triangular ribs formed on the projections 39 of the adapter 23 have sloping flanks 41 which converge towards the rear wall 9 and which can be swept over by the rear corners of the pull-out compartment 19 shortly before reaching the inserted stop position. In contact with the flanks, the rear area of the pull-out box 19 is centered before the stop position is reached, and a straight alignment of the pull-out box 19 in the stop position can be guaranteed, although between the side walls of the pull-out box 19 and those of the inner container 6 due to manufacturing tolerances of the inner container 6 can exist a not negligible game.
