Abstract
A household appliance, in particular a refrigerator, includes an evaporator unit which includes a control panel electronic circuitry having a display unit and a control panel electronics fixing element which is placed over the control panel electronic circuitry. An outer sheet is provided to cover and close the control panel electronic circuitry. Covering the display unit is a transparent cover which is secured on both sides about its periphery between the control panel electronics fixing element and the outer sheet.
Description
- The present invention relates to an electrical household appliance having an outer sheet adapted to be accommodating a screen and control buttons.
- The present invention relates to an electrical household appliance and more specifically to a refrigerator conventionally having an evaporator unit with an outer sheet adapted to be accommodating a control panel and a transparent screen.
- A refrigerator's evaporator unit outer sheet is typically adapted to comprise a screen and control buttons in a conventional manner. The present invention, on the other hand, provides a more compact and simplified mounting design according to which said screen and control panel are installed directly without using a special frame. To this end a design advantage is inherently obtained due to this arrangement.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a more compact and simplified mounting design for a refrigerator's evaporator unit having an outer sheet adapted to be accommodating a control panel and a transparent screen.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator evaporator unit having a screen and a control panel installed directly without using a special frame.
- The present invention provides a refrigerator conventionally having an evaporator unit with an outer sheet. Said outer sheet is conventionally provided with openings to accommodate control buttons and a screen. The household appliance and in particular the refrigerator according to the invention has an evaporator unit with an outer sheet for covering and closing a control panel electronic circuitry of said evaporator unit. Said control panel electronic circuitry has a display unit covered by a transparent cover which is introduced in between a control panel electronics fixing element and said evaporator outer sheet at both sides of its peripheral part.
- The figures whose brief explanations are herewith provided are solely intended for providing a better understanding of the present invention and are as such not intended to define the scope of protection or the context in which said scope is interpreted in the absence of the description. To this end,
-
FIG. 1 demonstrates a perspective view of the inner side of an evaporator unit outer sheet according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 demonstrates a perspective view of the outer side of an evaporator unit outer sheet according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 demonstrates a perspective view of the control panel electronic equipment fixing element according to the present invention. -
FIG. 4 demonstrates a perspective view of the positioning of the fixing element with respect to the control panel electronics according to the present invention. -

In other words, said evaporator outer sheet (11) presses on said transparent cover (14) and said transparent cover (14) presses on said control panel electronics fixing element (13).
- To this end, said countersunk screws (15) are fixed on said evaporator outer sheet (11) as seen
FIG. 4 such that said countersunk screws (15) fasten said control panel electronic circuitry (12) on said evaporator outer sheet (11) via said panel electronics fixing element (13). Said control panel electronics fixing element (13) comprises a plurality of claws (17) as seen inFIG. 8 for engagement with the control panel electronic circuitry (12). - In a nutshell, the present invention proposes a household appliance and in particular a refrigerator having an evaporator unit with an outer sheet (11) for covering and closing a control panel electronic circuitry (12) of said evaporator unit. Said control panel electronic circuitry (12) has a display unit (16) is covered by a transparent cover (14) which is introduced in between a control panel electronics fixing element (13) and said evaporator outer sheet (11) at both sides of its peripheral part.
