Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with a device housing in which there is a cooled interior.
  • Refrigerators and / or freezers known from the prior art have a device housing, i.e. a body, in which a cooled interior space for receiving the refrigerated or frozen goods is arranged, which can be closed by a door or some other closure element.
  • the interior space is delimited by an inner container and by the inside of the closure element.
  • thermal insulation is usually formed as a foam.
  • the use of vacuum insulation panels or the use of full vacuum insulation is also known.
  • a full vacuum insulation is characterized by a gas-tight film that surrounds a space that is filled, for example, with a powdery or granular support material and in which there is a vacuum.
  • the device housing has a modular structure and that at least one module of the device housing is designed with full vacuum insulation or consists of full vacuum insulation.
  • the present invention is thus based on the idea of constructing the device housing from at least two, preferably from more than two modules, at least one of these modules being designed with or consisting of full vacuum insulation.
  • the device housing thus consists of several modules that are assembled and connected to one another in a suitable manner.
  • not all of the modules forming the device housing are designed with full vacuum insulation, but instead have a different type of thermal insulation, preferably foaming. This can be the case, for example, for the ceiling and / or the floor of the device housing.
  • the module or modules with full vacuum insulation preferably represent less than 90% of the housing surface.
  • the module implemented with full vacuum insulation or consisting of this is not flat, but three-dimensional and preferably has a U-shaped shape.
  • a separate flat insulating body does not have to be produced for each area (e.g. rear wall, side wall, etc.).
  • a module can already have several walls (or parts of these) of the device housing or extend over them, such as the ceiling, the floor and the rear wall or the two side walls and the rear wall, etc.
  • multi-dimensional modules can be combined with additional modules to form an overall housing.
  • the module executed with the full vacuum insulation or consisting of this can extend, for example, over the rear wall and two side walls, over the ceiling and two side walls or over the floor and two side walls.
  • the module or modules can be designed in different heights, depths and / or widths so that different model variants can be created.
  • Several modules of the same type can also be arranged directly or indirectly (separated by an intermediate floor) one above the other in order to be able to produce different device heights.
  • a structure consisting of a ceiling module, a floor module and one or two (or more than two) housing modules, which form the side walls and the rear wall or extend over them, comes into consideration.
  • the device housing preferably has an inner container, for example made of plastic, which delimits the cooled interior.
  • the inner container can for example consist of polystyrene.
  • the outside of the device housing is preferably formed by an outer shell made of sheet metal.
  • the sheet metal can be pre-painted and / or bent over on its top and bottom or have bevels on the top and bottom or at the edges.
  • the sheet metal is the cover for the Side walls, the rear wall, the ceiling and the floor or that the sheet metal forms the cover for the rear wall, the ceiling and the floor.
  • the side wall and the rear wall can be locked together.
  • the outer shell can be made in one or more parts.
  • the outer shell can be locked to the inner container.
  • the connection can be achieved by interlocking parts and / or by gluing.
  • the outer shell can be connected to the floor and / or to the ceiling, e.g. by means of a Z-profile or other profile or by a preferably concealed screw connection.
  • the floor and / or the ceiling of the device housing can be connected to the module adjoining the floor or the ceiling by latching, screwing or gluing.
  • the ceiling can be designed in such a way that it is provided as a uniform part for all types of equipment. This applies accordingly to the floor.
  • the ceiling and / or the floor can be thermally insulated by foaming, preferably by PU foam, and have no vacuum insulation.
  • vacuum insulation e.g. by means of a vacuum molded part, is possible in the ceiling and / or in the floor and is covered by the invention.
  • the ceiling and / or the floor and / or an intermediate floor can be designed in such a way that it covers the cut edges of the outer shell of the main insulating body.
  • the outer shell is preferably designed as sheet metal or as pre-painted sheet metal.
  • the main insulating body has the two side walls and the rear wall or extends over them.
  • the ceiling and / or the floor can be connected to the aforementioned main insulating body by means of a form fit, e.g. by locking, and / or by screwing, gluing, etc.
  • a form-fitting connection with a Z-profile present on the main insulating body is conceivable. This applies accordingly to an intermediate floor.
  • the bearing e.g. bearing block, door hinge, etc.
  • the bearing for the door of the device is arranged on the floor and / or on the ceiling and / or on an intermediate floor.
  • the refrigeration technology preferably includes the refrigerant circuit comprising the compressor, condenser, throttle element and evaporator.
  • the electronics preferably include the control or regulation of the device and possibly other elements such as the sensors and / or display and / or operating elements.
  • the base is preferably arranged in such a way that it separates the cooled inner space in which the evaporator is arranged from the outer space in which the compressor and the condenser are located.
  • the full vacuum insulation preferably comprises a film tube or some other film which is made from a film web and in which the longitudinal seam and the ends are welded in a gas-tight manner.
  • the gas-tight film of the full vacuum insulation includes a space in which there is a support material, such as perlite, glass fiber, rock wool or silica.
  • a support material such as perlite, glass fiber, rock wool or silica.
  • the shaping is preferably carried out by compression in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
  • the full vacuum insulation body is sealed gas-tight at its ends, so that a space is formed which is enclosed by the film in a gas-tight manner and which is filled with the support material.
  • There is a vacuum in the room which can be generated with a vacuum pump or the like, which is connected via a connection to the rear wall or ceiling or floor of the inner container.
  • the full vacuum insulation body or bodies are located in the device housing between its outer wall and the inner container.
  • no further insulation material, such as foaming is provided, although this is also not excluded according to the invention, but is also encompassed by the invention.
  • a multi-dimensional module such as a U-shaped module
  • the modules of the device housing can be manufactured in a continuous process. Elements with different sizes, e.g. with different heights to cover all device sizes, can be manufactured using the modular principle.
  • an insulation in the floor preferably a foam filling, with electrical lines and / or refrigerant lines or lines of the refrigerant circuit of the device running in the insulation of the floor and necessary excess line lengths are also arranged in the insulation.
  • the refrigerant suction line that runs between the evaporator and the compressor has a minimum length that is greater than the distance from the evaporator to the compressor. This excess length, ie the necessary excess length, is foamed into the insulation of the floor. The problem of condensation is defused in this way.
  • Figure 1 are with the reference numerals 10 and 60, the top and bottom of the body, ie the device housing shown.
  • the ceiling 10 and the floor 60 each consist of a module which is provided with a foam layer and has an outer shell made of sheet metal on the outside and a plastic cladding on the inside.
  • the refrigerator and / or freezer in the Figures 1 and 2 furthermore has all the technical features of independent claim 1.
  • the reference number 20 denotes a further module, which is a full vacuum insulating body. This includes a gas-tight film that has a Enclosing space which is filled with a powder or granular support material and which is evacuated.
  • the module 20 is U-shaped and has a rear wall and two side walls.
  • Reference numeral 40 denotes a horizontal partition plate as a further module, which is arranged between two U-shaped modules 20 and which, like the floor and the ceiling, has a foam and is provided with a plastic cladding on the top and bottom.
  • the reference numeral 30 identifies the inner container sections, which are also U-shaped and are made of plastic and, together with the partition plate 40 and the floor 60 or the ceiling 10 and the door (not shown), delimit the cooled interior.
  • the outer shell 50 is made of sheet metal and encloses the rear and the sides of the modules 20 and 40.
  • the outer shell is also U-shaped and has bevels 53 extending over the height of the opposite side walls 52 at the end.
  • the rear wall of the outer shell is marked with 51.
  • the floor 60, the ceiling 10 and the intermediate floor 40 each have a flange protruding on the sides and on the rear side, which flange is identified by 11, 41 and 61.
  • the modules 20 are connected from above or below to the intermediate floor 40 and connected to the ceiling 10 at the top or to the floor 60 below with a form-fitting and / or force-fitting and / or material fit.
  • the adjoining surfaces have profiles.
  • the inner container sections 30 are then pushed into the main insulating body 20 and latched, glued, screwed or otherwise connected.
  • the outer shell 50 is pushed on so that the bevels 53 on both sides encompass the front side of the main insulating body 20 and are arranged next to the outwardly protruding webs 31 of the inner container sections 30 extending over the height of the inner container sections 30, as shown in FIG Figure 2 emerges.
  • the main insulating bodies are placed on or connected to the flange-like protruding areas 11, 41 and 61.
  • the modules are dimensioned in such a way that the outer edges of the modules are flush with one another and the inner sides of the floor, the ceiling and the intermediate floor correspond to the inner surface of the inner container sections 30 so that they directly adjoin one another.
