Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator such as a refrigerator, a freezer, a combination refrigerator or the like, with a body.
  • such a refrigeration unit body comprises a plastic container integrally deep-drawn inner container, attached to the inner container, assembled from a plurality of plate-like elements outer shell and an insulating layer which fills a gap between the inner container and the outer shell.
  • the outer shell of such a body comprises a metallic end strip, on which a groove forming an edge of the inner container is formed.
  • the groove is generally slightly narrower, as it corresponds to the material thickness of the inserted therein edge of the inner container, so that the groove spread apart by the inserted edge of the inner container and this is clamped.
  • An insertion bevel on the groove facilitates the insertion of the edge of the inner container in the groove.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates this construction by means of a section through the front portion of a partition wall 1 between a normal refrigeration compartment 2 and a freezer compartment 3 of a conventional combination refrigerator.
  • a metallic end strip 4 closes the partition 1 from the front.
  • the front strip 4 here has two upwardly or downwardly open grooves 5, 6, each receiving and pinching an edge 7 of an inner container 8 of the normal refrigeration compartment 2 and an inner container 9 of the freezer compartment. Both grooves 5, 6 have on their side facing away from the doors, the rear side wall an insertion bevel 10, which dips into the partition wall 1 between the inner containers 8, 9 filling insulating material 11.
  • the front strip 4 absorbs heat from the environment via its exposed front.
  • US 4,862,577 A and JP S 5364364 U each disclose a refrigeration device, in which an inner edge of an inner container is received in a groove of an outer wall, and thus correspond to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Object of the present invention with simple constructive measures, in particular with minimal effort on material and work the insulation effect to improve a refrigerator body.
  • the object is solved by features of the independent claim, wherein in a refrigerator body with an inner container, an outer shell and an enclosed between the inner container and the outer shell insulating layer, wherein the outer shell comprises at least one metallic end strip, at one edge of the Inner container receiving, limited by a chamfer groove is formed, the groove is divided in its longitudinal direction in at least a first and a second portion, wherein the width of the insertion be less in the second section than in the first section.
  • the assembly of the refrigeration unit body is not appreciably hampered, since it is sufficient for insertion of the edge of the inner container in the groove when the groove initially spread only on the first section and the edge can be inserted into it, because with progressive penetration of the edge in the groove is also spread in the second section.
  • the inner container is preferably in the form of a box open on one side and produced by deep-drawing a plastic sheet with a frame surrounding the open side and walls of the inner box adjacent to this open side, and an outer edge of the frame engages the groove of the header.
  • the width of the insertion be in the second section of the groove should be at most half as large as in the first section. It is preferred that the width of the insertion bevel is reduced to zero in the second section of the groove.
  • the first sections are formed like a tab.
  • such a first portion is provided at both ends of the groove, so that the insertion of the edge of the inner container at each end of the groove can be started.
  • the front strip and the edge of the inner container initially form an acute angle at the beginning of insertion and are only rotated with progressive penetration of the edge into the groove in its final, mutually parallel position.
  • the two first sections preferably delimit a same, central second section, that is to say that there is no or at most a reduced insertion bevel between these two first sections.
  • first and second sections alternate in the longitudinal direction of the groove in a comb or saw-like arrangement. This facilitates pushing the end strip in a direction parallel to the edge of the inner container orientation.
  • the total extent of all second sections in the longitudinal direction of the groove is greater than that of the first sections. It is particularly advantageous if the central second section is longer in the longitudinal direction of the groove than a flat wall of the inner container lying opposite it. As a result, the first sections at the ends of the groove do not intersect in the longitudinal direction with the inner container or at most intersect with rounded edge regions of the inner container. Thus, the distance between one end of the insertion bevel and the inner container is always greater than if such a first portion were arranged in a central region of the groove which overlaps with the opposite planar wall.
  • a frame heater may be arranged in the groove.
  • the inclination of the front strip is reduced for dewing, it may be sufficient if the acted upon with compressed refrigerant heating tube is connected downstream of a condenser in a refrigerant circuit.
  • end strip 14 is bent in a conventional manner from a continuous sheet-metal strip and cut into pieces of the required length.
  • the sheet-metal strip is on both sides of an exposed at the front of a finished refrigerator body center strip 15 to form two upwardly and downwardly open grooves 5, 6 bent back on itself.
  • a hollow bead 16 is formed for stiffening.
  • a rear side wall 18 of the grooves 5, 6 is, as in particular in the section of Fig.
  • edge of the inner container is inserted in an orientation parallel to the groove 5, 6 in the groove 5, 6, there is the possibility of a blockage when a central region of the edge in front of the cutting edge 22 of the section 20 abuts. In general, therefore, one will insert the edge slightly inclined into the groove, so that it first comes into contact with the local tab 19 at one end of the groove and there, the side walls 17, 18 spread apart. To the extent that the edge is pushed further into the groove, the spread propagates along the groove also along the portion 20, so that the edge can engage in its full length in the groove.
  • Fig. 4 change numerous tabs 19 and cut portions 20 along the grooves 5, 6 from each other.
  • the sections 20 are here short enough so that the side walls 17, 18 are spread apart along the entire length of a section 20 when the edge bends the two tabs 19 adjacent to this section.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is that the tabs 19 engage in the center of the end strip 14 as far into the insulating material layer of the refrigerator body as the conventional continuous insertion bevels 10 of Fig. 1 ,
  • the heat input is in a cooling compartment of the body compared to the case of Fig.1 significantly reduced.
  • tabs 19 in the middle of the end strip 14 may be shorter than the tabs 19 at the ends of the front strip 14th
  • Fig. 5 Another measure for reducing the incidence of heat is in Fig. 5
  • the tabs 19 are tapered toward their free end, similar to the teeth of a saw, to reduce the cross-sectional area on which heat can penetrate into the insulating material layer.
  • Fig. 6 shows a view from the rear of inner containers 8, 9 of a normal refrigeration compartment and a freezer compartment of a refrigerator body and provided for mounting on these inner containers 8, 9 end strips 14, 23, 24, 25 from in Fig. 2 shown type.
  • the end strips form familiar in the art familiar parts of a solid outer skin of the refrigerator body, and the end strips 23, 24, 25 may be integrally formed with ceiling, side wall or bottom elements of the outer skin or not shown here arrangements for attachment of such wall elements.
  • each rear walls and frames 26 can be seen, which protrude at right angles to an open front of the inner container 8, 9 of leading edges of the side walls, the ceiling or the bottom of the inner container.
  • a front strip 14 from in Fig. 2 or 3 shown type shown. It can be seen here that the central section 20 of both grooves of the end strip 14, which is free of insertion bevels, is wider than the bottom 27 of the inner container 8 or the cover 28 of the inner container 9, which lie directly opposite these two grooves.
  • the tabs 19 of the end strip 14 therefore overlap with respect to the width direction of the body partially with rounding zones 29 of the inner compartment cooling container 8, which connect the bottom 27 with side walls 30.
  • the tabs overlap neither with the blanket 28 nor the adjacent rounding zones 29, but are located entirely beyond the side walls 31.
  • the tips of the tabs 19 are always from the inner container 8 and 9, respectively a thicker layer of insulating material separated as if they were in a central region of the end strip 14 of the bottom 27 and the ceiling 28 directly opposite.
  • two grooves 32, 33 are formed one above the other, one of which surrounds a lateral edge of the frame 26 of the inner container 8 and the other a corresponding edge of the inner container 9. Again, serving as insertion bevels tabs 19 are each arranged at the level of the rounding zones 29.
  • a gap 34 between the two grooves 32, 33 serves to attach a laterally projecting tongue 35 of the end strip 14.
  • the front strips 23, 24 have such tongues 35, which for attachment to each above and below the grooves 32, 33 projecting end pieces 36 of the vertical end strips 25 are provided.
  • the edges 26 of the inner container 8, 9 can, as in Fig. 1 shown to be provided with a circumferential groove which receives a heating tube 37 of a frame heater. Because the End strips 14, 23, 24, 25 are cooled only relatively weak due to their shape and arrangement described above, a low performance of the frame heater is sufficient to prevent Betauen lying exposed surfaces of the end strips.
  • the heating tube 37 through which compressed refrigerant flows can therefore be arranged downstream of a condenser in a refrigerant circuit of the refrigeration device, which emits in a manner known per se the predominant part of the waste heat of the device to the environment.
