Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 Zu Kunststoff- and an exhaust port connected, designed as a flow channel for receiving the device units airway is provided.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the separator is attached via latching hooks on the grille.
  • the snap hooks are inserted for mounting only between the slats of the grille.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • foam can be cut easily, so that the length of the foam strip can be easily adapted to the length of the separator.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • a plurality of horizontally extending predetermined breaking points 11 are provided which divide this lower region into a plurality of sections 12.
  • only one or more sections 12 have to be folded over along one of the predetermined breaking points 11 and thus broken off.
  • a separation with a knife along the predetermined breaking points 11 is possible.
  • a vertically extending groove is provided in the front region of the separator 8.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
