Definitions

• This invention relates to a cooling device comprising a connector which is used to perform the electrical connections and fastened to the liners forming the body of the cooling device in such a way that sealing is achieved.
• the connectors (100) positioned to the recesses (151) formed on the liners (150) incorporate claws (101) whereby they are fastened to the said liners (150). If it is desired to fasten the connectors (100) to more than one component at more than one point, the number and width of the recesses (151) on the liners (150) are arranged so that the claws (101) can pass through. Sealing problems may arise as the width of the recesses (151) increases. For example, when PU is injected to the insulation volumes between the liners (150) as the insulation material, the mentioned PU material leaks out of gaps at the recesses (151) where the connector (100) is positioned ( Figure 1).
• the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device comprising a connector which is fastened to the liners forming the body of the said cooling device in such a way that it does not detach from the mentioned liners and that the sealing of the insulation volume between the liners is ensured and, whereby electric connections are established.
• the cooling device designed to fulfill the objectives of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures where: [010] Fig.1 - is a perspective view of a connector fastened to a liner as it took place in the prior art. [011] Fig.2 - is a schematic view of a cooling device.
• Fig.3 - is a perspective view of a connector, mounted onto an inner liner, which has two lockers, one in the form of a claw and the other in the form of a bridge.
• Fig.4 - is a side view of a connector counterpart and a connector, which has two lockers, one in the form of a claw and the other in the form of a bridge.
• Fig.5 - is a perspective view of a liner with two fastening holes, a connector counterpart and a connector, which has two lockers, one in the form of a claw and the other in the form of a bridge, wherein they are not mounted to each other.
• Fig.6 - is a front view of a connector.
• Fig.7 - is a top view of a connector.
• Fig.8 - is a top view of a connector counterpart and a connector, which are mounted onto a liner.
• Fig.9 - is a top view of a connector counterpart and a connector, which are mounted onto more than one liner.
• Fig.10 - is a perspective view of a liner with one fastening hole, a connector counterpart and a connector, which has two lockers, one in the form of a claw and the other in the form of a bridge, wherein they are not mounted to each other.
• Fig.11 - is a perspective view of a connector, mounted onto an inner liner, which has two lockers in the form of a claw.
• Fig.12 - is a side view of a connector having more than one locker in the form of a claw and more than one locker in the form of a bridge.
• Elements shown in figures are numbered as follows: 1. Cooling device 2. Connector 3. Inner liner 4. Outer liner 5. Insulation volume 6. Cable 7. Wall 8. Body 9. Connector recess 10. Fastening hole 11. Terminal recess 12. Locker 13. Connector counterpart
• the cooling device (1) comprises a body (8), an inner liner (3) forming the inner surfaces of the body (8), an outer liner (4) forming the outer surfaces of the body (8), an insulation volume (5) between the inner liner (3) and the outer liner (4), filled with insulation material, a connector (2) used to establish the electric connections, which is fastened to the inner liner (3) and/or to the outer liner (4) in such a way that they do not detach from one another while sealing of the insulation volume (5) is achieved, one or more than one cable (6) used to transfer the supply voltage to the connector (2) and, a connector counterpart (13) fastened onto the connector (2).
• the inner liner (3) comprises a connector recess (9) where the connector (2) is to be positioned into, one or more than one fastening holes (10) on the connector recess (9), used to fix the connector (2).
• the connector (2) comprises a wall (7) whereby it rests on and is attached to the inner liner (3), one or more than one terminal recess (11) opened to the both sides of the inner liner (3), where the cables (6) are connected, at least two lockers (12) at same level with each other, positioned one after another, which can pass through the same fastening hole (10) by bending and fit to the mentioned fastening hole (10) such that sealing is ensured and, which are used to fasten the connector (2) to at least two components such as the inner liner (3) or the outer liner (4) or the connector counterpart (13).
• two lockers (12) are utilized, one is in the form of a claw and the other in the form of a bridge ( Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 10).
• the locker (12) is manufactured from an elastic material. Thereby, the locker (12) passes through the fastening hole (10) by bending and after it passes through, it ensures the fastening by returning to its original shape.
• insulation is achieved without using an additional plastic gasket. Since the lockers (12) in the form of a claw and bridge are positioned consecutively, the production and use of the connector (2) is streamlined. Moreover, since the lockers (12) in the form of a claw and bridge can pass through the fastening hole (10) one after another, an additional hole is not necessary and the insulation material inside the insulation volume is prevented from leaking to the outside of the inner liner (3). Thus, apertures between the connector (2) and the inner liner (3) are minimized and advantages are gained concerning the sealing of the cooling device (1).
