Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlmöbel, insbesondere einen Kühlschrank, mit einem Kompressormotor und einem Kompressormotorraum, der eine Motorraumwandung aufweist.The invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular one Refrigerator, with a compressor motor and a compressor motor compartment, which has an engine compartment wall.
Derartige Kühlmöbel sind bekanntlich nahezu in jedem Haushalt anzutreffen. Zunehmend wird eine von dem Kompressormotor ausgehende Geräuschbildung als lästig empfunden. Hinzu kommt, daß im Zuge der Entwicklung von umweltfreundlicheren Kühlaggregaten der Geräuschpegel der Kühlaggregate tendenziell zunehmend ist.Such refrigeration units are known to be found in almost everyone Household encountered. One of the compressor motor is increasing outgoing noise as annoying felt. In addition, in the course of the development of more environmentally friendly cooling units the noise level the cooling units tend to be increasing.
Es ist nun bereits im Stand der Technik vielfach bekannt, Geräuschquellen mit einem schallabsorbierenden Materials zu umgeben. Bspw. sei auf die CH-PS 439 569 hingewiesen. Gemäß dieser Druckschrift ist für ein Zentrifugalgebläse vorgeschlagen, die Wände des Gebläsegehäuses dickwandig mit einem schallabsorbierenden Material wie Polyurethanschaumstoff auszukleiden. Des weiteren ist es an sich bekannt, schalldämmende Verkleidungen in Kapselbauweise, mit mehrfach übereinander angeordneten Lagen, die zueinander gestuft sind, vorzusehen. Hierzu wird beispielsweise auf die eingetragenen Unterlagen des DE-GM 84 17 883 verwiesen, auch auf die DE-OS 27 58 041 und die eingetragenen Unterlagen des DE-GM 89 09 961. Für die Schalldämmung an einer Umwälzpumpe ist dagegen wieder vorgeschlagen worden, eine vollständige Kapselung mittels eines doppelschichtigen, unmittelbar anliegenden Schaumstoffteiles vorzunehmen, wozu auf die DE-OS 31 09 624 zu verweisen ist. Diese bekannten Schallminderungsmaßnahmen lassen sich jedoch bei einem Kühlmöbel der in Rede stehenden Art nur unter Inkaufnahme von gewissen Nachteilen verwirklichen. So reicht der zur Verfügung stehende Raum nicht aus, um in geeigneter Dicke schallabsorbierendes Material einbringen zu können. Es wären vollkommene Neukonstruktionen erforderlich. Weiterhin ist auch mit einer derartigen Auskleidung mit schallabsorbierendem Material eine nicht unerhebliche Wärmedämmung jeweils verbunden. Diese könnte zu Temperaturproblemen bezüglich des Kühlaggregates führen bzw. würde zusätzliche Kühlmaßnahmen, wie etwa einen Lüfter, erforderlich machen. Insgesamt würde hierdurch auch der Energieverbrauch des Kühlmöbels eher zunehmen als abnehmen.It is already widely known in the prior art Noise sources with a sound absorbing Surrounding material. E.g. be on CH-PS 439 569 pointed out. According to this document is for a centrifugal fan suggested the walls of the blower housing thick-walled with a sound-absorbing material like lining polyurethane foam. Furthermore it is known per se, soundproofing panels in Capsule construction, with multiple superimposed Layers that are staggered to each other must be provided. For this is, for example, on the registered documents of the DE-GM 84 17 883 also referred to DE-OS 27 58 041 and the registered documents of DE-GM 89 09 961. For the sound insulation on a circulation pump is against again, a complete encapsulation has been proposed by means of a double-layer, immediately adjacent To make foam part, for which purpose on DE-OS 31 09 624 is to be referenced. These known noise reduction measures can, however, be the case with a refrigerator The type in question is only subject to certain Realize disadvantages. So that's enough not enough space to absorb sound in a suitable thickness To be able to bring in material. It would be completely new designs required. Farther is also with such a lining with sound absorbing Material a not insignificant thermal insulation each connected. This could lead to temperature problems lead or would lead additional with regard to the cooling unit Cooling measures, such as a fan, are required do. Overall, this would also reduce energy consumption of the refrigerator is increasing rather than decreasing.
Ein Kühlmöbel der eingangs angegebenen Art ist bspw. aus der EP-A-0 127 791 bekannt. Ein Kompressormotor ist unter Ausbildung eines Kompressormotorraumes in einem die Motorraumwandung bildenden Wannenteil angeordnet. Es ergeben sich die weiter oben angegebenen Geräuschprobleme.A refrigerator of the type specified at the outset is, for example EP-A-0 127 791. A compressor motor is under Formation of a compressor engine compartment in a die Engine compartment wall forming pan part arranged. It the noise problems given above result.
Ausgehend von dem vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung das Ziel zugrunde, ein Kühlmöbel, insbesondere einen Kühlschrank in geeigneter Weise schallreduziert auszubilden.Based on the state of the art described above the invention is based on the aim of providing a refrigerator, especially a refrigerator in a suitable manner to train with reduced noise.
Dieses Ziel ist beim Gegenstand des Anspruches 1 erreicht, wobei darauf abgestellt ist, daß ein dünnwandiges Kapselelement aus geschlossenzelligem Schaumstoff zur Schallabsorption vorgesehen ist, das entsprechend einer Schale den Kompressormotor umgibt, im wesentlichen jeweils mit Abstand zu dem Kompressormotor und der Motorraumwandung, wobei das Kapselelement zu einer Rückseite des Kühlmöbels, zu welcher auch der Kompressormotor freiliegt, geöffnet ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist also erkannt worden, daß der begrenzte, zur Verfügung stehende Raum dadurch vorteilhaft ausgenutzt werden kann, daß gleichsam nach dem Prinzip einer abgehängten Wand eine Zwischenschale zwischen dem Kompressormotor und der Motorraumwandung vorgesehen wird, welche dadurch, daß sie aus geschlossenzelligem, dünnwandigem Schaumstoff besteht, durch ihre Schwingfähigkeit geeignet ist, störende Schallwellen zu dämpfen. Dadurch, daß das Kapselelement zur Rückseite hin geöffnet ist, und damit auch der Kompressormotor zur Rückseite hin freiliegt, stellen sich gleichwohl überraschend günstige thermische Bedingungen ein, ohne daß die Schalldämpfung wesentlich beeinträchtigt wäre. In vorteilhafter Weise wird nämlich die Tatsache ausgenutzt, daß derartige Kühlmöbel mit dem Kompressormotor jeweils zur Wand hin aufgestellt werden. Die in der Regel schallharte Wand reflektiert auf der freiliegenden Seite von dem Kompressormotor ausgehende Schallwellen in das zu der Wand gleichfalls offene Kapselelement hin zurück, so daß auch diese Schallwellen zu einem wesentlichen Teil wiederum durch das Kapselelement gedämpft werden. This object is achieved in the subject matter of claim 1, it is based on the fact that a thin-walled Capsule element made of closed-cell foam Sound absorption is provided, which corresponds to a Shell surrounds the compressor motor, essentially each at a distance from the compressor motor and the engine compartment wall, wherein the capsule element to a back the refrigerator, which also includes the compressor motor exposed, open. According to the invention is therefore recognized been that limited, available Space can be advantageously used in that as it were on the principle of a suspended wall Intermediate shell between the compressor motor and the Engine compartment wall is provided, which is characterized in that they are made of closed-cell, thin-walled foam is, due to their ability to vibrate, disturbing Dampen sound waves. Because the capsule element is open towards the back, and therefore also the compressor motor is exposed to the rear nevertheless surprisingly favorable thermal conditions a without significantly affecting sound absorption would. This is because the Exploited the fact that such refrigeration units with the Compressor motor must be set up against the wall. The generally reverberant wall reflects on the exposed side from the compressor motor Sound waves in the capsule element, which is also open to the wall back so that these sound waves too a substantial part in turn by the capsule element be dampened.
In geeigneter Fortbildung ist vorgesehen, daß das Kapselelement Stufungen aufweist, die zu einem unterschiedlich Abstand zur Motorraumwandung führen. Es lassen sich so die Effekte, die durch das eingeschlossene Luftpolster zwischen der flexiblen, dünnen Wandung des Kapselelementes und der Motorraumwandung zu erzielen sind, optimieren. Eine besondere Weiterbildung sieht auch vor, daß das Kapselelement sich mit vergleichsweise geringer Tiefe seitlich zu dem Kompressormotor, jedoch weiterhin zu der Rückseite des Kühlmöbels hin geöffnet, bei bevorzugt integraler Ausführung, forterstreckt. Dies hat insbesondere dahingehend Bedeutung, daß auch seitliche Abstrahlungen des Kompressormotors, zu der Seite hin, in der er im wesentlichen freiliegt, in Reflexion von einer Wand, vor welcher etwa das Kühlmöbel steht, wieder auf das Kapselelement treffen und so geeignet absorbiert oder gedämpft werden. In weiterer Fortbildung ist auch vorgesehen, daß das Kapselelement gelocht ist. Es ergibt sich damit gleichsam eine Lochwandung flexibler Natur. In weiterer bevorzugter Fortbildung ist hierzu auch vorgesehen, daß in dem Kapselelement in Zusammenwirkung mit der Motorraumwandung durch Wulstbildung oder dgl. im wesentlichen geschlossene Kammern gebildet sind, welche jeweils mehrfach durch lochartige Öffnungen mit der Umgebung in unmittelbarer Verbindung stehen. So lassen sich eine Mehrzahl von Helmholtz-resonatorartigen Räumen zwischen der Motorraumwandung und dem Kapselelement erreichen. Im Unterschied zu dem "klassischen" Helmholtz-Resonator sind jedoch die Wände des durch das Kapselelement eingeschlossenen Luftraumes flexibel und ist der Luftraum über eine Mehrzahl von Öffnungen an die Umgebung angebunden. Hierin wird auch ein eigenständiges akustisches Schalldämpfungsprinzip gesehen, das für sich Bedeutung hat. In weiterer bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist auch vorgesehen, daß das Kapselelement domartig ausgebildet ist, derart, daß oberhalb des Kompressormotors ein wesentlicher Abstand zwischen dem Kapselelement und dem Kompressormotor ausgebildet ist und daß im Bereich des größten Abstandes Öffnungen in dem Kapselelement ausgebildet sind, zur Schaffung einer gewissen Kaminwirkung. Für den Fall, daß - jedenfalls bei besonderen Anwendungsfällen - eine gewisse thermische Last noch abzuführen ist, ist durch die beschriebene domartige Ausbildung eine Kaminzugwirkung erreichbar. Es kann so also eine wesentliche natürliche Konvektion erzeugt werden, welche die Wärmeabfuhr optimieren kann. Gegebenenfalls kann sich die Kaminausbildung auch noch relativ weit nach oben in dem Kühlmöbel erstrecken, um dann in die Umgebung hinein sich zu öffnen, wodurch der Kaminzug nur verbessert wird. Eine weitere besondere Ausgestaltung der gleichfalls eigenständige Bedeutung zukommt, wird darin gesehen, daß integriert in das Kapselelement eine Kondenswasserabtropfschale ausgebildet ist. Bei Kühlmöbel der in Rede stehenden Art ergibt sich aufgrund der wesentlichen Temperaturunterschiede in dem Kühlmöbel immer eine gewisse Menge an Kondenswasser, die bspw. aus dem Inneren des Kühlmöbels heruntertropfen kann. Erfindungsgemäß ist - bei geeigneter Öffnung der Motorraumwandung in diesem Bereich - vorgesehen, daß integriert in das Kapselelement eine wannenartige Ausbildung geschaffen ist, in welcher eben dieses Kondenswasser aufgefangen werden kann. Durch eine vergleichsweise große und flache Erstreckung ergibt sich zugleich, nicht zuletzt auch aufgrund einer gewissen sich einstellenden Temperierung der Wandung des Kapselelementes, eine große Verdunstungsfläche und ein großer Verdunstungseffekt, so daß ein Überlaufen dieser Auffangwanne praktisch nicht eintreten kann. Überdies führt das verdunstende Kondenswasser aufgrund der beim Phasenwechsel wesentlichen Wärmeaufnahme auch zu einem gewissen Kühleffekt des Kapselelementes gerade in diesem Bereich. Bevorzugt erstreckt sich die Wasserauffangwanne im wesentlichen oberhalb des Kompressormotors.In suitable training is provided that the capsule element Has gradations that differ to one Keep a distance to the engine compartment wall. It can be so the effects caused by the enclosed air cushion between the flexible, thin wall of the capsule element and the engine compartment wall can be achieved, optimize. A special training also provides that the capsule element itself with comparatively less Depth to the side of the compressor motor, however, still open to the back of the refrigerator, preferred integral design, extended. this has meaning in particular that lateral Radiations from the compressor motor, to the side, in which he essentially exposes in reflection of one Wall, in front of which, for example, the refrigeration unit is located hit the capsule element and thus suitably absorbed or be steamed. In further training is also provided that the capsule element is perforated. It results a perforated wall of a flexible nature. Another preferred training course is this provided that in cooperation in the capsule element with the engine compartment wall by bulging or the like in essentially closed chambers are formed, which several times through hole-like openings with the Environment in immediate connection. Let it be a plurality of Helmholtz resonator-like rooms between the engine compartment wall and the capsule element to reach. In contrast to the "classic" Helmholtz resonator however, are the walls of the capsule element enclosed air space is flexible and Airspace through a plurality of openings to the environment tied up. This also becomes an independent one seen acoustic noise reduction principle, that for itself Has meaning. In a further preferred embodiment also provided that the capsule element is dome-shaped is such that a above the compressor motor substantial distance between the capsule element and the Compressor motor is designed and that in the area of greatest distance openings in the capsule element are trained to create a certain chimney effect. In the event that - at least with special Applications - a certain thermal load still is to be dissipated, is described by the dome-like Training a chimney draft effect achievable. It can be so thus creates an essential natural convection which can optimize heat dissipation. Possibly chimney training can also be relative extend far up in the refrigerator, then in the environment open into it, causing the chimney draft is only improved. Another special configuration which also has independent meaning, is seen in that integrated into the capsule element a condensation drip tray is formed. At Refrigerated furniture of the type in question arises due to the essential temperature differences in the refrigerator always a certain amount of condensed water, for example can drip down the inside of the refrigerator. According to the invention is - with a suitable opening of the engine compartment wall in this area - provided that integrated into the capsule element created a tub-like design in which this condensed water is collected can be. By a comparatively large and flat extension results at the same time, not least also due to a certain tempering the wall of the capsule element, a large one Evaporation surface and a great evaporation effect, so that an overflow of this sump practically not can occur. In addition, the evaporating condensate due to the essentials in the phase change Heat absorption also to a certain cooling effect of the Capsule element just in this area. Prefers extends the water sump essentially above the compressor motor.

Dargestellt und beschrieben ist zunächst mit Bezug zu
Fig. 1 ein - nur teilweise gezeichnetes - Kühlmöbel 1
mit einem Kompressormotor 2 und einem zwischen einer
Motorraumwandung 3 (vgl. Fig. 3) und dem Kompressormotor
2 ausgebildeten Kompressormotorraum 4 (vgl. bspw. Fig.
2).Is shown and described initially with reference to
1 a - only partially drawn - refrigerator 1
with a
Der Kompressormotorraum 4 ist unterteilt durch ein Kapselelement
5, das aus geschlossenzelligem Polethylenschaumstoff
besteht. Das Kapselelement 5 ist dünnwandig
ausgebildet, bspw. mit einer Dicke von 2 mm. Das Kapselelement
umgibt gleichsam wie eine Schale den Kompressormotor
2, jedoch mit unterschiedlichem Abstand, wie sich
aus den Schnittdarstellungen der Fig. 5 bis 7 im einzelnen
ergibt. Auch der Abstand zu der Motorraumwand 3 ist
unterschiedlich.The
Wie sich aus Fig. 1, aber auch den Fig. 2 bis 4 insbesondere
ergibt, ist das Kapselelement 5 zu einer Rückseite
des Kühlmöbels hin offen ausgebildet, zu welcher Rückseite
hin auch der Kompressormotor 2 sich freistehend in
dem Kapselelement 5 befindet.As is apparent from Fig. 1, but also Figs. 2 to 4 in particular
results, the
Im einzelnen weist das Kapselelement 5 Stufungen 5',
5'', 5''', 5'''' usw. auf, welche zu einem unterschiedlichen
Abstand zu der Motorraumwandung 3 führen. Wie sich
zunächst aus der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 5 ergibt, ist
ein Abstand a rückseitig des Kompressormotors 2 größer
gewählt als ein Abstand b oberseitig des Kompressormotors
2. Der Abstand a entspricht aber etwa dem Abstand c
unterseitig des Kompressormotors 2, in bezug auf den
lichten Abstand zu einer Motorraumkapsel selbst, ungeachtet
der unterhalb des Kompressormotors 2 noch angeordneten
Schwingungsdämpfer 6 und der Halterungsschienen 7.
Wie sich aus Fig. 6 ergibt, ist der Abstand a rückseitig
des Kompressormotors 2 jedoch unterschiedlich gewählt,
nämlich im einzelnen derart, daß er in Eckbereichen 8, 9
des Kompressormotors 2 sich bis hin zu einer Anlage an
dem Kompressormotor 2 verkleinert. Während einer Seite
10 des Kompressormotors 2, wo insbesondere Kabelanschlüsse
und dgl. sich befinden, das Kapselelement 5 sehr nahe
- bei 11 - an dem Kompressormotor 2 vorbeigeführt ist,
und in etwa rechtwinkliger Ausbildung, ist gegenüberliegend
eine in bezug auf die rückwärtige Öffnungsebene E
winklige, unter einem Winkel Alpha gegebene Erstreckung
des Kapselelemente 5 vorgesehen. Dies führt zu einer
geeigneten Absorption nicht nur der unmittelbar von dem
Kompressormotor 2 abgestrahlten Schallwellen, sondern
auch zu solchen Schallwellen, die an einer - nicht dargestellten
- schallharten Wand, gegen welche das Kühlmöbel
im Einbauzustand gestellt ist, reflektiert werden. In
diesem Zusammenhang von besonderer Bedeutung ist auch
noch die seitliche Erstreckung, die insgesamt mit dem
Bezugszeichen 12 versehen ist, die über den eigentlichen
Kompressormotorraum 4 hinausgeht. Zum einen ist auch in
dem Bereich 12 wieder durch geeignete Gestaltung des
Kapselelementes 5 ein unterschiedlicher Wandabstand d
bzw. e zu der Motorraumwandung 3 geschaffen. Zum anderen
ist diese Ausgestaltung dahingehend optimiert, daß eine
geeignete Absorption auch in dieser Richtung reflektierter
Schallwellen erfolgen kann.In particular, the capsule element has 5 steps 5 ',
5 '', 5 '' ', 5' '' 'etc., which lead to a different
Lead distance to the
Wie sich insbesondere aus Fig. 4, aber auch aus den Fig.
1 und 5 bis 7 ergibt, ist das Kapselelement 5 mit Löchern
13 versehen, die einen unmittelbaren Anschluß an
Lufträume 14, 15 zwischen dem Kapselelement 5 und der
Motorraumwandung 2 ergeben. Im einzelnen ist nicht dargestellt,
daß diese Lufträume 14 auch durch geeignete
Wulstbildung noch unterteilt sein können, jedoch jeweils
mit mehreren Löchern 13 versehen sein können, so daß
sich insgesamt ein modifizierter Helmholtz-Resonator
ergibt, wie er weiter vorne bereits im einzelnen beschrieben
worden ist.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, but also from FIGS.
1 and 5 to 7 results, the
Bezüglich des Bereiches 12 ist noch von Bedeutung, wie
sich insbesondere auch aus dem Querschnitt gemäß Fig. 7
ergibt, daß eine Tiefe t hier wesentlich geringer ist
als eine Tiefe t' im Bereich des eigentlichen Kompressormotorraumes

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 5, aber auch in den Fig. 2 bis
4 zu erkennen ist, ist oberseitig des Kompressormotors
2, integriert in das Kapselelement 5, eine Wasserauffangwanne
16 ausgebildet. Dies lediglich durch einfache
Wulstbildung, einen umlaufenden U-Wulst 17, in dem Kapselelement
5. In die Wasserauffangwanne 16 kann bspw.
durch eine Öffnung 18 in der Motorraumwandung 3 Kondenswasser
oder dgl. von oben hineintropfen. Die Erstreckung
der Wasserauffangwanne 16 kann noch wesentlich größer
sein als in der Zeichnung dargestellt.As in particular in FIG. 5, but also in FIGS. 2 to
