Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a refrigerated cabinet which, in addition to allowing the content of the refrigerator to be viewed from the outside thereof, allows for an easy and ergonomic operation of the cabinet.
  • refrigerators also colloquially known as fridges.
  • Refrigerators comprise a door that guarantees thermal insulation from the outside in order to prevent heat from outside the refrigerator from entering the space inside. In this manner, the aim is to improve the efficiency of the refrigerator as much as possible.
  • control panel or button panel to control the functions of the refrigerator, according to the needs or preferences of the user.
  • refrigerators are known in which the door is made of a transparent material, thereby serving as a display case showing the food stored in the refrigerator.
  • the present disclosure describes a novel refrigerated cabinet.
  • the refrigerated cabinet object of the present invention includes a door with a frame and a transparent front panel.
  • the frame is situated in correspondence with a rear face of the transparent front panel and opposite a front face of the transparent front panel.
  • the transparent front panel projects a certain distance from the frame, thereby constituting a cantilevered section situated in correspondence with the control panel of the refrigerated cabinet.
  • the control panel comprises a touch screen, said touch screen being a continuation mimicking the front face of the front panel.
  • the touch screen comprises sensitive areas and a viewing area.
  • the control panel includes a motherboard situated in correspondence with the rear face of the cantilevered section of the front panel and in correspondence with the position occupied by the touch screen on the front face of said cantilevered section.
  • the control panel is configured to show, in the viewing area, values related to the operational magnitudes of the operation of the refrigerated cabinet.
  • control panel is configured to control the operations of the refrigerated cabinet by means of pressing the sensitive areas of the touch screen.
  • the sensitive areas comprise symbols or a legend indicating the operational magnitudes of the refrigerated cabinet.
  • control panel incorporates a rear closure of the control panel and motherboard electric circuitry casing or cover.
  • control panel can incorporate a wireless transmitter/receiver for the connection to the refrigerated cabinet control plate and for the control of the operational magnitudes of the refrigerated cabinet.
  • the present disclosure discloses a refrigerated cabinet.
  • Figures 2a , 2b , 2c , 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d show the details of an embodiment of the refrigerated cabinet object of the present disclosure.
  • the refrigerated cabinet comprises a door (1) with a thermally insulating frame (2) and a transparent and thermally insulating front panel (3).
  • the front panel (3) comprises a front face (31) and a rear face (32).
  • the frame (2) is situated in correspondence with the rear face (32) of the front panel (3).
  • the front panel (3) has a width (X) substantially equal to the width of the frame (2), and a height (Y) slightly greater than the height of the frame (2), so that on the lower portion, the front panel (3) is substantially flush with the frame (2), such that on the upper portion, the front panel (3) comprises a cantilevered section (33) that projects from the frame (2).
  • a control panel (4) is situated which comprises a touch screen (41), said touch screen (41) being a continuation of the front face (31) and mimicking the front face (31) of the front panel (3).
  • the control panel (4) comprises sensitive areas (411) provided with a legend or graphic symbols in correspondence with the touch screen (41), wherein the legend or graphic symbols are preferably xerigraphed and are indicative of the magnitudes related to the operation of the refrigerator, wherein the control panel (4) is configured to show the value of said magnitudes in a viewing area (412) next to the sensitive areas (411).
  • control panel (4) On the rear face (32) of the front panel (3) and situated in correspondence with the touch screen (41), the control panel (4) comprises a motherboard (42) of the touch screen (41).
  • a casing (43) or cover closes the control panel (4) from behind and protects the electronic circuitry of the motherboard (42).
