Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.

Kältegeräte mit einem isolierten Innenraum verfügen üblicherweise über einen Kältemittelkreislauf, der ein Kältemittel enthält, welches in dem Innenraum Wärme aufnimmt und diese Wärme außerhalb des Innenraums an die Umgebungsluft abgibt. Die Wärmeabgabe erfolgt dabei in einem Verflüssiger, der normalerweise an der Rückwand des Kältegeräts angebracht ist.Refrigerators with an insulated interior usually have a refrigerant circuit containing a refrigerant which absorbs heat in the interior and emits this heat outside the interior to the ambient air. The heat dissipation takes place in a condenser, which is usually attached to the rear wall of the refrigerator.

Es sind auch Kältegeräte bekannt geworden, bei denen der Verflüssiger unterhalb des isolierten Innenraums hinter einem Verkleidungsgrill untergebracht ist. Um in diesem engen Raum einen Wärmestau zu vermeiden, ist ein Gebläse vorgesehen, mit dessen Hilfe die den Verflüssiger umgebende Luft ständig ausgetauscht wird. Sowohl der Ansaug- wie auch der Abluftkanal des Gebläses enden hinter dem Verkleidungsgrill. Oft liegen die Kanalenden hinter dem Verkleidungsgrill direkt nebeneinander.There are also known refrigerators, in which the condenser is housed below the insulated interior behind a grille. In order to avoid heat accumulation in this narrow space, a fan is provided, with the aid of which the air surrounding the condenser is constantly replaced. Both the intake and exhaust ducts of the blower terminate behind the grille. Often the channel ends are behind the grille directly next to each other.

Wird ein so ausgestaltetes Kältegerät in eine Küchenfront integriert, wird die Tür des Kältegeräts mit einer entsprechenden Möbelfront verkleidet. Diese Möbelfront erstreckt sich nach unten bis zum Sockel des Gerätes, so dass auch der Verkleidungsgrill hinter der Möbelfront zu liegen kommt. Zwischen Möbelfront und Verkleidungsgrill entsteht so ein Kanal, durch den sowohl die von dem Gebläse angesaugte, als auch die abgeblasene Luft strömt. Bedingt durch die geringe Dimension des Spalts zwischen Möbelfront und Verkleidungsgrill kommt es hier zu einem Kurzschluss der Luftströmungen, so dass die von dem Gebläse abgegebene Luft sofort wieder angesaugt wird. Dies hat zur Folge,
dass sich die den Verflüssiger umgebende Luft immer weiter aufheizt und nicht mehr durch kühle Umgebungsluft ersetzt wird.If such a configured refrigeration device integrated into a kitchen front, the door of the refrigerator is covered with a corresponding furniture front. This furniture front extends down to the base of the device, so that the grille also comes to rest behind the furniture front. Between the front of the furniture and the grille, a channel is created, through which both the air sucked in by the blower and the blown-off air flow. Due to the small dimension of the gap between furniture front and grille it comes here to a short circuit of the air currents, so that the air discharged from the fan is sucked back immediately. As a consequence,
that the air surrounding the condenser heats up more and more and is no longer replaced by cool ambient air.

Es wurde daher bereits vorgeschlagen, an der Rückseite der Möbelfront einen Separator zu montieren. Dieser Separator besitzt die Form eines Stegs, dessen Breite der Breite des Spalts zwischen Möbelfront und Verkleidungsgrill entspricht. Der Separator wird zwischen Ansaugschacht und Abluftschacht des Gebläses montiert. Durch diese Maßnahme verlängern sich der Ansaugschacht und der Abluftschacht bis an die Unterkante der Möbelfront, wo sie frei enden. Ein Kurzschluss zwischen angesaugter und abgeblasener Luft wird dadurch vermieden.It has therefore already been proposed to mount a separator at the rear of the furniture front. This separator has the shape of a web whose width corresponds to the width of the gap between furniture front and grille. The separator will mounted between suction duct and exhaust duct of the blower. By this measure, the intake duct and the exhaust duct extend to the lower edge of the furniture front, where they end freely. A short circuit between sucked and blown air is thereby avoided.

Es sind kombinierte Kältegeräte bekannt geworden, die beispielsweise im oberen Bereich eine oder mehrere Türen und im unteren Bereich beispielsweise eine Gefrierschublade aufweisen. Bei der Integration in eine Küchenfront werden sowohl die Türen als auch die Schublade mit einer entsprechenden Möbelfront verkleidet. Es hat sich nun herausgestellt, dass der oben beschriebene Separator an der Innenseite einer Möbelfront, mit der eine Schublade im unteren Bereich verkleidet ist nur sehr schwierig zu montieren ist.Combined refrigerators have become known which, for example, have one or more doors in the upper area and, for example, a freezer drawer in the lower area. When integrated into a kitchen front, both the doors and the drawer are clad with a corresponding furniture front. It has now been found that the separator described above on the inside of a furniture front, with a drawer is covered in the lower area is very difficult to assemble.

Die Offenlegungsschrift DE 44 45 286 A1 zeigt ein Kältegerät mit wenigstens einem innerhalb seines wärmeisolierenden Gehäuses angeordneten und von einer Tür verschließbaren Kälteraum und einem zur Aufnahme von Geräteaggregaten dienenden Aggregatraum, innerhalb welchem ein wenigstens an eine Zuluft- und eine Abluftöffnung angeschlossener, als Strömungskanal zur Aufnahme der Geräteaggregate ausgebildeter Luftweg vorgesehen ist.The publication DE 44 45 286 A1 shows a refrigeration device with at least one arranged within its heat-insulating housing and closable by a door Kälteraum and serving for receiving equipment units aggregate space within which at least one Zuluft- and an exhaust port connected, designed as a flow channel for receiving the device units airway is provided.

Die Offenlegungsschrift GB 2 338 287 A zeigt einen Kühlschrank mit einem darunter angeordneten Sockelraum, in welchem ein Verdichter, ein Verflüssiger und ein Lüfter angeordnet sind. Ferner ist eine Trennzone gebildet, welche den Sockelraum strömungstechnisch in einen Einlass- und einen Auslasskanal trennt.The publication GB 2 338 287 A shows a refrigerator with a base space arranged below, in which a compressor, a condenser and a fan are arranged. Further, a separation zone is formed, which separates the base space fluidly into an inlet and an outlet channel.

Die Offenlegungsschrift EP 0 444 461 A2 zeigt einen einbaubaren Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank, bei dem unterhalb einer Fronttür ein zurückgesetzter Sockel angeordnet ist, der zwischen Bodenfläche und einer oberen Sockeltrennwand einen Belüftungskanal für ein Kühlaggregat bildet.The publication EP 0 444 461 A2 shows a built-in refrigerator or freezer, in which a recessed base is disposed below a front door, which forms a ventilation channel for a cooling unit between the bottom surface and an upper base partition wall.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kältegerät nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 so auszubilden, dass die angesaugte und die abgeblasene Luft durch einen Separator getrennt werden können und dieser ohne Schwierigkeiten montiert werden kann, auch wenn sich im unteren Bereich des Kältegeräts eine mit einer Möbelfront verkleidete Schublade befindet.The invention is based on the object, a refrigerator according to the preamble of Claim 1 in such a way that the sucked and the blown air can be separated by a separator and this can be mounted without difficulty, even if there is a drawer with a furniture front paneled in the lower part of the refrigerator.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1. Die Montage des Separators am Verkleidungsgrill kann direkt von vorne erfolgen. Auch wenn im unteren Bereich des Kältegeräts eine Schublade vorgesehen ist, muss diese nur ein Stück weit herausgezogen werden, so dass der Verkleidungsgrill zugänglich wird. Der Separator kann dann einfach befestigt werden.The object is achieved according to the invention by a refrigerator with the features of claim 1. The assembly of the separator on the grille can be done directly from the front. Even if a drawer is provided in the lower region of the refrigeration device, it only has to be pulled out a little way so that the grille is accessible. The separator can then be easily attached.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist der Separator über Rasthaken an dem Verkleidungsgrill befestigt. Die Rasthaken werden zur Montage lediglich zwischen die Lamellen des Verkleidungsgrills eingeführt. Durch Andrücken des Separators bewegen sich die Rasthaken in ihre Raststellung und verriegeln den Separator so an dem Verkleidungsgrill. Eine Verschraubung des Separators oder eine andere Befestigungsweise, die einen zusätzlichen Arbeitsgang erfordert, kann so vermieden werden.Advantageously, the separator is attached via latching hooks on the grille. The snap hooks are inserted for mounting only between the slats of the grille. By pressing the separator, the latching hooks move into their locking position and lock the separator so on the trim grille. A screwing of the separator or another manner of attachment, which requires an additional operation, can be avoided.

Das Kältegerät ist vorteilhaft mit einer Möbelfront verkleidet. Die Möbelfront verdeckt den Separator, so dass das Gesamtbild der Küchenfront nicht negativ beeinflusst wird. Bei unterschiedlichen Küchendesigns können die Möbelfronten auch einen unterschiedlichen Abstand zum Boden aufweisen. Der Separator sollte immer an der Unterkante der Möbelfront enden, da ein unten hervorstehender Separator die Ästhetik der Küchenfront stören würde, ein zu kurzer Separator aber zu einer Vermischung von angesaugter und abgeblasener Luft führen und somit einen Luftkurzschluss verursachen könnte. Die Höhe des Separators ist daher erfindungsgemäß an die Unterkante der Möbelfront anpassbar.The refrigerator is advantageously covered with a furniture front. The furniture front conceals the separator, so that the overall picture of the kitchen front is not adversely affected. With different kitchen designs, the furniture fronts may also have a different distance to the floor. The separator should always end at the bottom edge of the furniture front, as a downwardly protruding separator would disturb the aesthetics of the kitchen front, but too short a separator could lead to a mixture of sucked and blown air and thus cause an air short. The height of the separator is therefore inventively adaptable to the lower edge of the furniture front.

Vorteilhaft weist der Separator horizontal verlaufende Sollbruchstellen auf, an denen er stufenweise kürzbar ist. Die Anpassung des Separators an die Unterkante der Möbelfront kann auf diese Weise ohne Werkzeug erfolgen.Advantageously, the separator on horizontally extending predetermined breaking points, where it is gradually shortened. The adaptation of the separator to the lower edge of the furniture front can be done in this way without tools.

Bei unterschiedlichen Küchendesigns kann auch der Abstand zwischen dem Verkleidungsgrill und der Möbelfront verschieden sein. Damit der Separator auch für solche unterschiedlichen Spaltbreiten eingesetzt werden kann, ist an dem Separator ein vertikal verlaufender Streifen aus elastischem Material angebracht, der den Spalt zwischen dem Separator und der Möbelfront abdichtet. Durch die Elastizität des Materials können ebenfalls Fertigungstoleranzen ausgeglichen werden.With different kitchen designs, the distance between the trim grille and the furniture front may be different. So that the separator can also be used for such different gap widths, a vertically extending strip of elastic material is attached to the separator, which seals the gap between the separator and the furniture front. Due to the elasticity of the material also manufacturing tolerances can be compensated.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist der Streifen aus Schaumstoff gefertigt. Dieses Material gewährleistet eine hohe Elastizität neben einer großen Verformbarkeit, die auch eine Anpassung an sehr unterschiedliche Spaltbreiten sicherstellt. Ebenso lässt sich Schaumstoff leicht schneiden, so dass die Länge des Schaumstoffstreifens auf einfache Weise an die Länge des Separators angepasst werden kann.Particularly advantageously, the strip is made of foam. This material ensures high elasticity in addition to a large deformability, which also ensures an adaptation to very different gap widths. Likewise, foam can be cut easily, so that the length of the foam strip can be easily adapted to the length of the separator.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist der Streifen in einer Nut des Separators aufgenommen. Die Dimensionierung der Nut kann so ausgelegt sein, dass der Streifen in einfacher Weise eingeführt werden kann, aber trotzdem den notwendigen Halt bekommt, der einen sicheren Sitz in der vorgesehenen Position gewährleistet.Advantageously, the strip is received in a groove of the separator. The dimensioning of the groove can be designed so that the strip can be inserted in a simple manner, but still gets the necessary support, which ensures a secure fit in the intended position.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen im Zusammenhang mit der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels, das anhand der Zeichnung eingehend erläutert wird.Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims in connection with the description of an embodiment which is explained in detail with reference to the drawing.

Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 den Schnitt durch den unteren Teil eines erfindungsgemäßen Kältegeräts Das erfindungsgemäße Kältegerät weist einen isolierten Innenraum 1 auf. An seiner unteren Seite ist der isolierte Innenraum 1 durch den Boden 2 begrenzt. An der Front des Kältegeräts ist eine Öffnung vorgesehen, die durch die Tür 3 verschlossen wird. Ein Luftaustausch, der zu einer Erwärmung des Innenraums 1 führen würde, wird durch die Dichtung 4 verhindert. Die Tür 3 ist mit einer Möbelfront 5 verkleidet, die bis zu der Sockelblende 7 herabreicht.
It shows:
  • Fig. 1 the section through the lower part of a refrigerator according to the invention The refrigerator according to the invention has an insulated interior 1. At its lower side, the insulated interior 1 is bounded by the bottom 2. At the front of the refrigerator, an opening is provided, which is closed by the door 3. An air exchange, which would lead to a warming of the interior 1, is prevented by the seal 4. The door 3 is covered with a furniture front 5, which extends down to the base panel 7.

Unterhalb des isolierten Innenraums 1 befindet sich ein Maschinenraum 13, in dem üblicherweis der Verdichter und hier zusätzlich ein Verflüssiger und ein Gebläse vorgesehen sind. Diese Komponenten sind in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt, da sie für die Erfindung nicht wesentlich sind. Zur Frontseite hin wird der Maschinenraum 13 durch den Verkleidungsgrill 6 abgedeckt. Hinter dem Verkleidungsgrill 6 münden sowohl der in dieser Darstellung nicht sichtbare Ansaugschacht des Gebläses, als auch der Abluftschacht 14 für die von dem Verflüssiger erwärmte Luft. Beide Schächte sind nebeneinander angeordnet, so dass in diesem Schnitt nur der hintere Abluftschacht 14 zu sehen ist.Below the insulated interior 1 is a machine room 13, in which usually the compressor and here additionally a condenser and a blower are provided. These components are in Fig. 1 not shown, since they are not essential to the invention. Towards the front of the engine room 13 is covered by the trim grille 6. Behind the grille 6 open both the not visible in this illustration suction duct of the blower, as well as the exhaust duct 14 for the heated air from the condenser. Both shafts are arranged side by side, so that only the rear exhaust duct 14 can be seen in this section.

Um die Luftströme von Ansaugschacht und Abluftschacht 14 auch in dem Spalt zwischen dem Verkleidungsgrill 6 und der Möbelfront 5 getrennt halten zu können, ist der Separator 8 vorgesehen. An der dem Maschinenraum 13 zugewandten Seite weist der Separator 8 Rasthaken 9 auf. Diese Rasthaken 9 verrasten bei der Montage des Separators 8 mit den einzelnen Lamellen des Verkleidungsgrills 6.In order to keep the air streams of suction duct and exhaust duct 14 separated in the gap between the trim grille 6 and the furniture front 5, the separator 8 is provided. At the machine room 13 side facing the separator 8 has latching hooks 9. These locking hooks 9 engage in the assembly of the separator 8 with the individual slats of the grille. 6

Im unteren Bereich des Separators 8 sind mehrere horizontal verlaufende Sollbruchstellen 11 vorgesehen, die diesen unteren Bereich in mehrere Abschnitte 12 gliedern. Um nun den Separator 8 an die Unterkante der Möbelfront 5 anzupassen, müssen lediglich ein oder mehrere Abschnitte 12 entlang einer der Sollbruchstellen 11 umgeknickt und auf diese Weise abgebrochen werden. Selbstverständlich ist auch ein Abtrennen mit einem Messer entlang der Sollbruchstellen 11 möglich.In the lower region of the separator 8, a plurality of horizontally extending predetermined breaking points 11 are provided which divide this lower region into a plurality of sections 12. In order to adapt the separator 8 to the lower edge of the furniture front 5, only one or more sections 12 have to be folded over along one of the predetermined breaking points 11 and thus broken off. Of course, a separation with a knife along the predetermined breaking points 11 is possible.

Im vorderen Bereich des Separators 8 ist eine vertikal verlaufende Nut vorgesehen. In diese Nut ist das Schaumstoffteil 10 eingeschoben. Das Schaumstoffteil 10 passt sich an den verbleibenden Spalt zwischen dem Separator 8 und der Möbelfront 5 an und sorgt so dafür, dass auch bei unterschiedlichen Spaltbreiten eine sichere Trennung der Luftströme gewährleistet ist. Auch Fertigungs- und Montagetoleranzen können durch das Schaumstoffteil 10 auf einfache Weise ausgeglichen werden. Muss der Separator 8 gekürzt werden um ihn an die Unterkante der Möbelfront 5 anzupassen, kann in einfacher Weise auch das Schaumstoffteil 10 mit einem Messer oder einer Schere entsprechend abgelängt werden.In the front region of the separator 8, a vertically extending groove is provided. In this groove, the foam part 10 is inserted. The foam part 10 adapts to the remaining gap between the separator 8 and the furniture front 5 and thus ensures that a secure separation of the air streams is ensured even with different gap widths. Even manufacturing and assembly tolerances can be compensated by the foam part 10 in a simple manner. If the separator 8 has to be shortened in order to adapt it to the lower edge of the furniture front 5, the foam part 10 can also be cut to length in a simple manner with a knife or a pair of scissors.

Das hier beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt ein Kältegerät mit einer Tür im unteren Bereich oberhalb des Maschinenraums 13. In gleicher Weise könnte sich statt des mit einer Tür verschlossenen Innenraums an dieser Stelle eine Schublade befinden, welche ebenfalls durch eine Möbelfront verkleidet ist. Bei beiden Ausführungen kann der Separator 8 durch einfaches Einschieben der Rasthaken 9 in die Abstände zwischen den Lamellen des Verkleidungsgrills 6 montiert werden. Ein Verschrauben des Separators an der Rückseite der Möbelfront 5 muss nicht durchgeführt werden.The embodiment described here shows a refrigerator with a door in the lower area above the engine room 13. In the same way could be located instead of the closed door with an interior at this point a drawer, which is also covered by a furniture front. In both embodiments, the separator 8 can be mounted by simply inserting the latching hooks 9 in the spaces between the slats of the trim grille 6. A screwing of the separator on the back of the furniture front 5 need not be performed.
