Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kaltwasserspendervorrichtung für einen Kühlschrank, insbesondere für ein Gerät vom Typ für den Haushalt.The The present invention relates to a cold water dispenser device for one Refrigerator, in particular for a Device from Type for the budget.
Es sind Kühlschränke für den Haushalt bekannt, die intern mit Spendervorrichtungen ("Spendern") für kaltes Wasser ausgestattet sind. Solche Spender verwenden einen Behälter, der, während er adäquat mit einer externen Wasserversorgung verbunden ist, die in Umgebungen immer vorhanden ist, wo Kühlschränke angeordnet sind, die Ansammlung bzw. Akkumulation von Trinkwasser zulässt. Dieser Behälter ist innerhalb des wärmeisolierten Gehäuses des Kühlschranks auf derartige Weise angeordnet, dass eine vorbestimmte Menge an Trinkwasser konstant gekühlt gehalten wird, für welches es möglich ist, durch eine Ausgabewasserlieferungseinrichtung abgezapft zu werden.It are refrigerators for the household known internally with donor devices ("donors") for cold water are equipped. Such donors use one Container, the while he adequately connected to an external water supply that is in environments always exists where refrigerators are arranged which allows accumulation or accumulation of drinking water. This container is inside the thermally insulated Housing of the refrigerator arranged in such a way that a predetermined amount of Drinking water constantly cooled is held for which it is possible to be tapped by an output water supply device.
Jedoch benutzt diese Vorrichtung geeignete interne Filter, die geeignet sind zum Reinigen des Trinkwassers, das von der Wasserversorgung bzw. dem Wassernetz hereinkommt, von möglichen organischen Zusammensetzungen, von Produkten der Reaktion von Chlor, das im Wasser vorhanden ist, von Substanzen, die durch die Rohrleitung der Wasserversorgung freigegeben werden. Ein solches Filter hat eine Filterkapazität, die durch die Liter an Wasser bestimmt wird, die behandelt werden. Nach einer bestimmten Anzahl von Litern ist es opportun, die Filterpatrone auszutauschen, um einen Verlust bezüglich einer Effektivität bei der Filteraktion zu verhindern.however this device uses appropriate internal filters that are appropriate are used to clean the drinking water that comes from the water supply or the water network comes in, of possible organic compounds, of products of the reaction of chlorine present in the water of Substances released through the pipeline of water supply become. Such a filter has a filtering capacity through the liters of water that are being treated are determined. After a certain number of liters, it is opportune to use the filter cartridge to exchange for a loss of effectiveness in the Prevent filter action.
US-A-3,982,406 offenbart einen Wasserspender für einen Kühlschrank gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.US-A-3,982,406 discloses a water dispenser for a fridge according to the generic term of claim 1.
Angesichts des hierin beschriebenen Standes der Technik besteht eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung im Realisieren eines Spenders von kaltem Wasser für einen Kühlschrank, insbesondere für einen Kühlschrank für den Haushalt, der gekühltes Wasser ohne die Unannehmlichkeiten spenden kann, die durch die bekannten Spender gezeigt werden.in view of There is a problem with the prior art described herein of the present invention in realizing a dispenser of cold Water for a fridge, especially for a fridge for the Household, the chilled Water can donate without the inconvenience caused by the known Donors are shown.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine solche Aufgabe mittels einer Kaltwasserspendervorrichtung für einen Kühlschrank erreicht, wie sie im Anspruch 1 definiert ist.According to the present This object is achieved by means of a cold water dispenser device for one fridge achieved as defined in claim 1.
Vorzugsweise ist die elektronische Steuereinheit auch dazu geeignet, das Schließen der Ventileinrichtung zu steuern, wenn eine im Voraus eingerichtete Zeitperiode vorüber ist.Preferably the electronic control unit is also suitable for closing the Control valve device when set up in advance Time period over is.
Aufgrund der Erfindung ist es möglich, eine Realisierung einer Steuerung der Menge an Wasser, das in den Spenderbehälter geladen ist, während einer Zeit zur Verfügung zu stellen, und es ist möglich, den Zustand einer Verschlechterung des Filters des trinkbaren Wassers aufgrund der Menge an gefiltertem Wasser zu steuern, und möglicherweise auch die Nutzungszeit des letzteren, um dadurch seinen Austausch im geeigneten Moment zuzulassen.by virtue of the invention it is possible a realization of a control of the amount of water that enters the dispensing container is loaded while a time available and it is possible to do that Condition of deterioration of the filter of drinkable water due to the amount of filtered water control, and possibly also the time of use of the latter, in order thereby its exchange to allow at the appropriate moment.
Die Eigenschaften und die Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung werden durch die folgende detaillierte Beschreibung von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen von ihr klar gemacht werden, die als nicht beschränkendes Beispiel in der beigefügten Zeichnung dargestellt sind, wobei:The Features and advantages of the present invention will be by the following detailed description of two embodiments of be made clear to her, as a non-limiting example in the attached drawing are shown, wherein:
Nimmt
man Bezug auf
Ein
erster Typ von Liter-Zählervorrichtung zeigt
die Verwendung einer elektrodynamischen Schaltung, in welcher eine
mechanische sich drehende Einrichtung, die aus Schaufeln aufgebaut
ist, mit einem Magneten und mit einem Zungen- bzw. Blatt-Leseelement verbunden
ist. Durch Drehen bestimmt der Magnet das Öffnen und das Schließen des
Zungenkontakts. Die Kontaktschließ- und -öffnungsaktionen werden durch
die elektronische Steuervorrichtung
Ein zweiter Typ von Liter-Zählervorrichtung stellt die Verwendung eines piezoelektrischen Sensors zur Verfügung, der gegenüber Druckvariationen empfindlich ist. Ein Körper, der in den Pfad des Wassers eingefügt ist und der adäquat modelliert ist, um Schleifen darin zu erzeugen, erzeugt Wirbel und daher plötzliche Druckänderungen, die durch den piezoelektrischen Sensor erfasst werden können. Die mechanischen Schwingungen werden in messbare elektrische Pulse umgewandelt.One second type of liter counter device the use of a piezoelectric sensor available, the across from Pressure variations is sensitive. A body in the path of the water added is and adequate is modeled to create loops in it, generates swirls and therefore sudden Pressure changes, which can be detected by the piezoelectric sensor. The mechanical Vibrations are converted into measurable electrical pulses.
