Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerätegehäuse mit einer Rohrdurchführung, insbesondere zur Abführung von Tauwasser aus einem Innenraum des Gehäuses.The present invention relates to a refrigerator housing with a pipe feedthrough, in particular for the discharge of condensate from an interior of the housing.

Beim Betrieb eines Kältegeräts schlägt sich an dessen Verdampfer fortlaufend Feuchtigkeit nieder, die kontinuierlich, oder im Falle eines bei unter 0°C betriebenen Verdampfers während des Abtauens desselben, in einer Sammelvertiefung unterhalb des Verdampfers zusammenfließt. Um dieses Tauwasser aus dem Gerät herauszuführen, ist von der Vertiefung aus eine Rohrleitung durch eine Gehäusewand des Kältegeräts hindurch ins Freie geführt. Herkömmlicherweise umfasst diese Rohrleitung ein inneres Rohrstück, das an einen Durchstichstutzen des Innenbehälters des Kältegeräts angefügt ist und sich von dort aus durch die Isolationsmaterialschicht der Gehäusewand erstreckt, und ein äußeres Rohrstück, das durch eine in eine feste Außenhaut der Gehäusewand geschnittene Öffnung eingesteckt und auf das innere Rohrstück aufgeschoben ist. Ein solcher Aufbau nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus DE 297 25 231 U1 bekannt.During operation of a refrigerating appliance, moisture evaporates continuously at its evaporator, which continuously, or in the case of an evaporator operated at below 0 ° C. during defrosting, flows together in a collecting depression below the evaporator. In order to lead this condensate out of the device, a pipeline is led from the depression out through a housing wall of the refrigerator through to the outside. Conventionally, this pipe comprises an inner pipe piece, which is attached to a piercing of the inner container of the refrigerator and extends from there through the insulating material layer of the housing wall, and an outer tube piece, which is inserted through a cut into a solid outer skin of the housing wall opening and on the inner pipe section is pushed. Such a structure according to the preamble of claim 1 is made DE 297 25 231 U1 known.

Aus WO 2005/085723A ist der Vorschlag bekannt, an einer Bodenplatte anstelle des Durchstichstutzens eine Öffnung zu schneiden, unter der Öffnung eine Sammelglocke mit einem Schlauchanschlussstutzen anzuordnen und die Sammelglocke mit Hilfe einer Buchse zu fixieren, die von oben durch die Öffnung hindurchgeschoben und an einer internen Rippe der Sammelglocke verrastet wird.Out WO 2005 / 085723A the proposal is known to cut an opening on a bottom plate instead of the puncture nozzle, to arrange under the opening a collecting bell with a hose connection piece and to fix the collecting bell by means of a socket which pushed from above through the opening and locked to an internal rib of the collecting bell becomes.

Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, den Arbeitsaufwand bei der Montage eines Kältegerätegehäuses mit Tauwasserablauf zu verringern und die Stabilität des Kältegerätegehäuses zu verbessern.The aim of the present invention is to reduce the workload in the assembly of a refrigerator housing with condensation water outlet and to improve the stability of the refrigerator housing.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Kältegerätegehäuse mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved by a refrigerator housing with the features of claim 1.

Das innere Durchführungsteil umfasst erfindungsgemäß einen Becher, in den ein Rohrstück des äußeren Durchführungsteils, im Folgenden als äußeres Rohrstück bezeichnet, eingreift.According to the invention, the inner leadthrough part comprises a cup in which a pipe section of the outer leadthrough part, referred to below as an outer pipe section, engages.

Außerdem liegt erfindungsgemäß ein Rand des Bechers an der Außenhaut an, um das Innere des Bechers abzudichten und von Isolationsmaterial frei zu halten.In addition, according to the invention an edge of the cup on the outer skin to seal the interior of the cup and keep free of insulation material.

Ein sich von dem Rand des Bechers aus an der Außenhaut erstreckender Stützflansch stabilisiert erfindungsgemäß die Position des inneren Durchführungsteils, insbesondere wenn die Isolationsschicht in an sich bekannter Weise durch Ausschäumen erzeugt wird.According to the invention, a support flange extending from the edge of the cup to the outer skin stabilizes the position of the inner leadthrough part, in particular if the insulating layer is produced in a manner known per se by foaming.

Um durch die Rohrdurchführung geleitete Flüssigkeit zuverlässig von der Außenhaut fernhalten zu können, umfasst das innere Durchführungsteil ein in den Hohlraum hineinragendes inneres Rohrstück und das äußere Durchführungsteil ein auf das innere Rohrstück aufgestecktes äußeres Rohrstück.In order to be able to reliably keep liquid conducted through the pipe leadthrough away from the outer skin, the inner leadthrough part comprises an inner pipe piece projecting into the hollow space, and the outer leadthrough part comprises an outer pipe piece plugged onto the inner pipe piece.

Die Rastverbindung ist vorzugsweise durch Raststufen gebildet, die an einander berührenden Innen- bzw. Außenseiten des inneren und des äußeren Rohrstücks gebildet sind.The latching connection is preferably formed by latching steps, which are formed on mutually contacting inner and outer sides of the inner and the outer tube piece.

Um einerseits eine engen Formschluss zwischen den ineinander greifenden Rohrstücken zu begünstigen und andererseits das Verrasten zu ermöglichen, sind die Rohrstücke zweckmäßigerweise im Querschnitt mit einer Breitseite und einer Schmalseite geformt, und die Raststufen sind an den Breitseiten angeordnet.On the one hand to favor a tight fit between the interlocking pipe sections and on the other hand to allow the locking, the pipe sections are advantageously formed in cross section with a broad side and a narrow side, and the latching steps are arranged on the broad sides.

Eine weitere Maßnahme zur Vereinfachung der Montage der Rohrdurchführung ist, dass ein von dem äußeren Durchführungsteil verdrängtes Stück der Außenhaut in einem Hohlraum des inneren Durchführungsteils, insbesondere im Inneren von dessen Becher, aufgenommen ist. Dadurch entfällt die herkömmlicherweise gegebene Notwendigkeit, für die Montage des äußeren Durchführungsteils zunächst ein Loch in die Außenhaut zu schneiden, das herausgeschnittene Material zu entfernen und anschließend das äußere Durchführungsteil durch das Loch einzuschieben.Another measure for simplifying the installation of the pipe feedthrough is that a piece of the outer skin displaced from the outer feedthrough part is received in a cavity of the inner feedthrough part, in particular in the interior of its cup. This eliminates the conventionally given need to first cut a hole in the outer skin for the assembly of the outer feedthrough, remove the cut out material and then insert the outer passage member through the hole.

Im Gegensatz dazu genügt es vorzugsweise, das äußere Durchführungsteil, insbesondere das äußere Rohrstück, vor dem Hohlraum gegen die Außenhaut zu drücken und so die Außenhaut aufzureißen. Der an der Außenhaut anliegende Rand des Bechers bildet eine Barriere, über die hinaus der Riss sich nicht ausbreiten kann.In contrast, it is preferably sufficient to press the outer passage part, in particular the outer tube piece, in front of the cavity against the outer skin and thus tear the outer skin. The edge of the cup attached to the outer skin forms a barrier beyond which the crack can not spread.

Um die Bildung der Öffnung zu erleichtern, ist das äußere Rohrstück zweckmäßigerweise mit einer Schneidspitze versehen.In order to facilitate the formation of the opening, the outer tube piece is expediently provided with a cutting tip.

Indem das äußere Rohrstück eine schräg zur Steckrichtung ausgerichtete Endfläche aufweist, kann die Öffnung durch Andrücken der Spitze dieser Endfläche zunächst auf einem Teil ihres Umfangs aufgeschnitten werden; in dem Maße, in dem das äußere Rohrstück weiter in die Wand hineingedrückt wird, wird die Öffnung fortlaufend erweitert, bis schließlich das äußere Rohrstück hindurchpasst.By the outer tube piece having an obliquely oriented to the insertion direction end surface, the opening can be first cut by pressing the tip of this end face on a part of its circumference; to the extent that the outer tube is pushed further into the wall, the opening is continuously widened until finally the outer tube fits through.

Das äußere Rohrstück weist zweckmäßigerweise eine Abtropfkante auf, die von der Außenhaut beabstandet ist, um zu verhindern, dass über die Rohrdurchführung abfließendes Wasser in Kontakt mit der Außenhaut gelangt.The outer tube piece expediently has a drip edge which is spaced from the outer skin in order to prevent water draining via the pipe feedthrough from coming into contact with the outer skin.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen Teile einer Rohrdurchführung eines Kältegerätegehäuses in perspektivischer Ansicht und im Längsschnitt. Ein inneres Durchführungsteil 1 umfasst ein Rohrstück 2 von unrundem, hier elliptischem Querschnitt, das an einem Ende einen gewinkelten Anschlussflansch 3 trägt. Der Anschlussflansch 3 ist vorgesehen, um einen Durchstich einer im Innenbehälter des Kältegeräts unterhalb eines Verdampfers geformten Tauwassersammelrinne schaumseitig zu überdecken und aus dem Durchstich abfließendes Tauwasser in das Rohrstück 2 hineinzuleiten. Wie insbesondere in Fig. 2 zu erkennen, erstreckt sich das Rohrstück 2 schräg abwärts durch einen Boden 4 eines Bechers 5 hindurch, dessen schräg abgeschnittener Rand innen an einer Rückwandpappe 6 des Kältegeräts anliegt. Ein vom Rand des Bechers 5 ausgehender Stützflansch 7 liegt großflächig an der Rückwandpappe 6 an. Ein unteres Ende des Rohrstücks 2 befindet sich im Inneren des Bechers 5. Becher 5, Stützflansch 7 und Rohrstück 2 sind aus Kunststoff einteilig spritzgeformt.The FIGS. 1 and 2 show parts of a pipe feedthrough of a refrigerator housing in a perspective view and in longitudinal section. An inner passage part 1 comprises a tube piece 2 of non-circular, in this case elliptical cross-section, which carries an angled connecting flange 3 at one end. The connecting flange 3 is provided to foam cover a puncture of a formed in the inner container of the refrigerator below a vaporizer Taufwassersammelrinne and hineinzuleiten from the puncture effluent discharge water into the pipe section 2. As in particular in Fig. 2 to recognize the pipe section 2 extends obliquely downward through a bottom 4 of a cup 5, the obliquely cut edge abuts the inside of a rear wall board 6 of the refrigerator. A outgoing from the edge of the cup 5 support flange 7 is located at a large area on the back wall board 6. A lower end of the pipe section 2 is located in the interior of the cup 5. Cup 5, support flange 7 and pipe section 2 are injection molded in one piece from plastic.

Im in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Zustand ist die Rückwandpappe 6 noch geschlossen; eine in Fig. 1 mit 8 bezeichnete Ellipse stellt eine an der Rückwandpappe 6 angebrachte Markierung dar, die angibt, an welcher Stelle das äußere Durchführungsteil 11 zu montieren ist. Zur Entstehung der Markierung 8 wird auf Fig. 7 verwiesen.Im in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown state, the rear wall board 6 is still closed; one in Fig. 1 The ellipse denoted by 8 represents a mark attached to the backing board 6 indicating where the outer passage 11 is to be mounted. The emergence of the mark 8 is on Fig. 7 directed.

Das äußere Durchführungsteil 11 ist wie das innere Durchführungsteil 1 einteilig aus Kunststoff spritzgeformt und umfasst einen Abdeckflansch 13, ein sich von dem Abdeckflansch 13 schräg aufwärts erstreckendes Rohrstück 12, sowie, an der dem Rohrstück 12 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Abdeckflansches 13, eine Abtropfkontur 14.The outer feedthrough part 11, like the inner feedthrough part 1, is injection molded in one piece from plastic and comprises a cover flange 13, a pipe piece 12 extending obliquely upward from the cover flange 13, and a drip contour 14 on the side of the cover flange 13 opposite the pipe piece 12.

Das Rohrstück 12 ist vorgesehen, um damit die Rückwandpappe 6 am Ort der Markierung 8 zu durchstoßen und es im Inneren des Bechers 5 auf das Ende des Rohrstücks 2 aufzuschieben. Um das Durchstoßen der Rückwandpappe 6 zu erleichtern, hat das Rohrstück 12 eine scharfkantige Endfläche 15, die sich schräg zur Steckrichtung der Rohrstücke 2, 12 erstreckt.The pipe section 12 is provided so as to pierce the rear wall board 6 at the location of the marking 8 and postpone it in the interior of the cup 5 to the end of the pipe section 2. In order to facilitate the piercing of the rear wall board 6, the pipe section 12 has a sharp-edged end face 15, which extends obliquely to the insertion direction of the pipe sections 2, 12.

Wenn das Rohrstück 12 am Ort der Markierung 8 durch die Rückwandpappe 6 gestoßen wird, reißt die Rückwandpappe 6 zunächst in Höhe der scharfen Unterkante der Endfläche 15, an der tiefsten Stelle der Markierung 8, auf, und in dem Maße, wie das Rohrstück 12 in den Becher 5 hinein vordringt, dehnt sich der Riss zu beiden Seiten schräg nach oben hin aus, bis er groß genug ist, um das Rohrstück 12 vollständig durchzulassen. Eine durch den Riss in der Rückwandpappe 6 gebildete Zunge 10 schwenkt nach oben ins Innere des Bechers 5 hinein und verbleibt dort, wie in dem Schnitt der Fig. 3 zu erkennen.When the pipe section 12 is pushed through the rear wall board 6 at the location of the marking 8, the rear wall board 6 rips first at the level of the sharp lower edge of the end face 15, at the lowest point of the marking 8, and to the extent that the pipe section 12 in As the cup 5 advances, the crack expands obliquely upward toward both sides until it is large enough to allow the tube 12 to pass completely. A tongue 10 formed by the crack in the back board 6 pivots upward into the interior of the cup 5 and remains there as in the section of FIG Fig. 3 to recognize.

Ein an die Endfläche 15 anschließender Einlassabschnitt 23 des Rohrstücks 12 hat einen Innenquerschnitt, der etwas größer ist als der Außenquerschnitt des inneren Rohrstücks 2, um das Ineinanderschieben der Rohrstücke 2, 12 zu erleichtern. Querschnitte des äußeren Rohrstücks 12 entlang der Linie III-III aus Fig. 2 bzw. des inneren Rohrstücks 2 und des Bechers 5 entlang der Ebene IV-IV aus Fig. 2 sind in Fig. 3 bzw. Fig. 4 gezeigt. Zwei Rastvorsprünge 16 stehen von einander gegenüberliegenden Breitseiten des Einlassabschnitts 23 nach innen vor. Um in Aussparungen 9 des inneren Rohrstücks 2 wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt zu verrasten, müssen die Rastvorsprünge 16 zunächst eine nicht ausgesparte Spitze des Rohrstücks 2 passieren, indem die Breitseiten des Einlassabschnitts 23 elastisch auseinander und/oder die Breitseiten des Rohrstücks 12 elastisch aufeinander zu gedrückt werden.An adjoining the end surface 15 inlet portion 23 of the pipe section 12 has an inner cross section which is slightly larger than the outer cross section of the inner pipe section 2, to facilitate the telescoping of the pipe sections 2, 12. Cross sections of the outer pipe section 12 along the line III-III Fig. 2 or the inner tube piece 2 and the cup 5 along the plane IV-IV Fig. 2 are in Fig. 3 respectively. Fig. 4 shown. Two locking projections 16 protrude inward from opposite broad sides of the inlet section 23. To be in recesses 9 of the inner pipe section 2 as in Fig. 6 shown to latch, the locking projections 16 must first pass through a non-recessed tip of the pipe section 2 by the broad sides of the Inlet portion 23 elastically apart and / or the broad sides of the tube piece 12 are elastically pressed toward each other.

An die sich in den Aussparungen 9 verhakenden rückseitigen Raststufen der Rastvorsprünge 16 schließen sich jeweils in Steckrichtung erstreckende Stege 24 an, die kontinuierlich in einen Wurzelabschnitt 25 des äußeren Rohrstücks 12 übergehen. Der Innenquerschnitt des Wurzelabschnitts 25 gleicht weitgehend dem Außenquerschnitt des inneren Rohrstücks 2, so dass dessen Spitze in dem Wurzelabschnitt 25 formschlüssig gehalten ist. Die Stege 24 dienen dazu, die Spitze des Rohrstücks 2 stetig in den Wurzelabschnitt 25 hineinzuführen.At the latched in the recesses 9 back latching steps of the latching projections 16 are in each case in the insertion direction extending webs 24, which merge continuously into a root portion 25 of the outer pipe section 12. The inner cross section of the root portion 25 is substantially equal to the outer cross section of the inner tube piece 2, so that the tip is held in a form-fitting manner in the root portion 25. The webs 24 serve to continuously guide the tip of the pipe section 2 into the root section 25.

Wenn die Spitze des inneren Rohrstücks 2 fest in den Wurzelabschnitt 25 eingeführt ist, erreichen die Rastvorsprünge 16 die Aussparungen 9, verrasten in diesen und verankern so die Durchführungsteile 1, 11 unlösbar aneinander.When the tip of the inner tube piece 2 is firmly inserted into the root portion 25, the locking projections 16 reach the recesses 9, lock into them and thus anchor the grommets 1, 11 inextricably to each other.

Da, wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt, im zusammengefügten Zustand die Rohrstücke 2, 12 nach außen abschüssig verlaufen und das Rohrstück 12 das Rohrstück 2 außen umgreift, kann im Betrieb des Kältegeräts kein Tauwasser in dem Becher 5 freigesetzt werden und von dort die Rückwandpappe 6 erreichen. Das über das Rohrstück 2 von der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Tauwasserrinne 21 des Innenbehälters 20 abgeleitete Tauwasser wird vollständig von dem äußeren Rohrstück 12 aufgefangen und zu einer von der Rückwandpappe 6 beabstandeten Abtropfkante 17 am unteren Rand der Abtropfkontur 14 geleitet.There, as in Fig. 5 shown in the assembled state, the pipe sections 2, 12 extend outwardly sloping and the pipe section 12, the pipe section 2 engages around the outside, no condensation water in the cup 5 can be released during operation of the refrigerator and reach from there the back wall board 6. The over the pipe section 2 of the in Fig. 3 shown condensation water 21 of the inner container 20 derived condensation is completely absorbed by the outer tube piece 12 and passed to a distance from the rear wall cardboard 6 drip edge 17 at the bottom of Abtropfkontur 14.

Wie man in Fig. 5 ferner erkennt, berührt der Abdeckflansch 13 die Rückwandpappe 6 unterhalb des Rohrstücks 12 lediglich über einen Vorsprung 22 an einer nicht von dem Stützflansch 7 unterstützten Stelle. Dadurch und aufgrund der Elastizität der Rückwandpappe 6 sind die beiden Durchführungsteile 1, 11 in dem zusammengefügten Zustand der Fig. 3 geringfügig elastisch gegeneinander beweglich. Dies ist hilfreich, um einerseits zu gewährleisten, dass im aneinander verrasteten Zustand der Rastnasen 16 und Aussparungen 9 die Rückwandpappe zwischen den Flanschen 7, 13 geklemmt ist und andererseits die Verrastung zuverlässig herbeigeführt werden kann.How to get in Fig. 5 also recognizes touched the Abdeckflansch 13, the rear wall board 6 below the pipe section 12 only via a projection 22 at a non-supported by the support flange 7 point. Thereby, and due to the elasticity of the rear wall board 6, the two feedthrough parts 1, 11 in the assembled state of Fig. 3 slightly elastic against each other. This is helpful, on the one hand to ensure that in the latched state of the locking lugs 16 and recesses 9, the backboard between the flanges 7, 13 is clamped and on the other hand, the locking can be brought about reliably.

Fig. 7 zeigt einen Teilschnitt durch die Rückwand des Kältegeräts unmittelbar vor dem Ausschäumen des zwischen der Rückwandpappe 6 und dem Innenbehälter 20 begrenzten Hohlraums mit Isolationsmaterial. Ein Stück einer Schäumform, die sich der Rückwandpappe 6 näher, um diese gegen den beim Ausschäumen auftretenden Druck abzustützen, ist mit 25 bezeichnet. Die Schäumform ist eben bis auf eine einzelne (in der Fig. der Deutlichkeit halber übertrieben groß dargestellte) Erhabenheit 26. Diese ist auf der Schäumform so platziert, dass sie trotz eventueller Toleranzen in die Öffnung des Bechers 5 trifft. Wenn die Schäumform 25 rings um den Becher 5 herum an der Rückwandpappe 6 anliegt, drückt sie einen Teil von dieser in den Becher 5 hinein und erzeugt so eine Mulde in der Rückwand, die nach Abschluss des Ausschäumens bestehen bleibt und die Markierung 8 bildet. Fig. 7 shows a partial section through the rear wall of the refrigerator immediately prior to foaming the limited between the backboard 6 and the inner container 20 cavity with insulation material. A piece of a foaming mold, which is closer to the rear wall board 6 in order to support it against the pressure occurring during foaming, is designated by 25. The foaming mold is flat except for a single (in the figure, for the sake of clarity, exaggeratedly large) shown majesty 26. This is placed on the foaming mold so that it hits despite possible tolerances in the opening of the cup 5. When the foaming mold 25 rests around the cup 5 on the backboard 6, it pushes a part of this in the cup 5, thus creating a recess in the rear wall, which remains after completion of the foaming and the mark 8 is formed.
