Definitions
- the invention relates to a refrigeration device with a heat-insulating housing having at least one door, which has on the rear of the housing opposite the door a machine room which serves to accommodate a compressor or the like and in which a condensation water collecting container is arranged at a distance above the compressor by means of a holding section, the container bottom of which is at least acted upon by the waste heat of the compressor.
- condensate collecting trays for collecting the melt water that occurs during a defrosting process of the refrigeration device, which in most cases are located within the machine room which is niche-like on the rear of the refrigeration device housing.
- the condensate collecting trays are exposed to the waste heat of the refrigerant compressor of the refrigeration device arranged in this machine room, for this purpose the condensate collecting trays either sit directly in heat-conducting contact on the upper housing part of the compressor housing or are kept a short distance above the upper housing part within the machine room are.
- US Pat. No. 5,881,566 proposes a condensate collecting pan with a fixed support frame and a flexible pan base, which can adapt to different geometries of the upper part of the compressor and which to a certain extent can also compensate for fluctuations in the height of compressors from different manufacturers.
- a condensate collecting pan with a fixed support frame and a flexible pan base, which can adapt to different geometries of the upper part of the compressor and which to a certain extent can also compensate for fluctuations in the height of compressors from different manufacturers.
- such a proposal brings with it the problem that the construction height can only be compensated for the compressor to a certain extent and that the bottom of this condensate collecting pan is at risk of damage due to its flexibility and the condensate collecting pan must therefore be handled with particular care in production.
- the connection of a flexible floor to a relatively rigid carrier is extremely expensive to manufacture, and there is also the risk with the flexible floor that the materials suitable for granting the flexibility of the floor only partially meet the requirements for a condensate
- the invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art in a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 with simple design measures.
- a condensate drip pan with a side wall that is infinitely variable or adjustable in stages opens up the possibility of being able to specifically accommodate different heights of different refrigerant compressors, for example due to different manufacturers or different performance classes, by simply adjusting the height.
- a condensate drip tray that is suitable at least for a large number of different types of refrigeration device can be selected, despite the compressors of different structural heights used due to the different types of refrigeration device.
- the manufacturing costs of the refrigeration device types decrease noticeably due to the potential for standardization due to the condensate collecting pan for all device types.
- the side wall which is variable in height, is formed from at least approximately flexible material.
- Such a height-adjustable side wall is not only particularly inexpensive to manufacture in terms of its water-repellent property, but also has the property of being able to absorb the oscillating movements that occur when the compressor starts and stops, thereby causing a scouring movement between the compressor housing and the one in it Heat-conducting contact against the bottom of the condensation water collecting tray is avoided, since the flexibility of the slack side wall intercept the compressor oscillations and thus the bottom of the condensation water collecting tray lies at least largely quietly and in a positionally accurate manner on the housing of the compressor.
- the height of the side wall of the condensate collecting pan which can be adjusted is particularly robust if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the height of the side wall, which is variable, is at least approximately in the form of a bellows.
- the bellows-like design of the side wall also opens up the possibility of pressing the bottom of the condensate collecting pan against the housing of the compressor by means of an appropriate number and a suitable design of the individual folds of the bellows under an at least largely caused by the bellows design.
- the prestressing force causes the tray bottom to be in particularly intensive contact with the compressor housing to produce an optimized heat transfer from the compressor to the condensate drip tray.
- the bellows exerting a prestress in connection with a flexible limp soil for the condensate drip tray compensate for surface differences between the individual types of compressors, which at least in the majority of cases ensures that the slack bottom is optimally positioned on the casing of the compressor to bring about intensive heat transfer to the melt water collected in the condensate drip tray.
- the height of the side wall which can be changed, is formed at least in the vicinity of the bottom of the container from at least approximately water-repellent material.
- a condensate drip pan has proven to be particularly favorable with regard to vibration absorption and heat resistance, originating from the compressor, if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the side wall, the container bottom and the holding section, which are variable in height, are made in one piece Polymer material with elastic properties is formed. A condensate drip tray formed from such a material is consequently particularly durable. In addition, a condensate drip tray made of polymer material with elastic properties and with the bottom resting on the compressor also contributes to noise insulation.
- the container base is arranged at least in sections in thermally conductive contact with the bottom section of the compressor.
- the container base has a shape that is at least approximately adapted to the base-side portion of the compressor.
- a base made of relatively rigid material for the condensation water tray can also be brought into heat-conducting contact with the housing of the compressor to promote the evaporation performance of the melt water collected by the condensation water tray. Due to the possibility of being able to use a container base made of comparatively rigid material for the condensation water collecting tray, the manufacture of the condensation water collecting tray is made considerably easier due to the possibility of designing the container bottom as a plastic injection molded part and thus significantly reducing the manufacturing costs of the condensation water collecting tray.
- a condensate collecting tray equipped with a preformed base can be constructed from this base, a support part serving to hold it, and the height-adjustable side wall. In comparison to a floor made of flexible material, such a floor can be specifically formed from material with a greater material thickness, which makes this floor particularly resistant to mechanical influences. In the area of the bellows, the material thickness is again less in order to achieve the desired flexibility.
- FIG. 1 in a simplified schematic representation of the back of a
- Cooling device arranged in its machine room
- the condensation drip tray with its height-adjustable side wall designed as a bellows, in a spatial view from above.
- the heat-insulating housing 11 has a niche-like machine room 13 on its rear side 12 on its section near the floor. This is used to hold a refrigerant compressor 14 with a housing 15, which is formed from an upper housing part 16 and a lower housing part 17, supporting elements 18 with elastic supports 19 being fixed on the lower housing part 17, by means of which the refrigerant compressor 14 is fastened to a compressor mounting rail 20 with low vibration , Compared to the compressor mounting rail 20, retaining elements 21 are fixed to the ceiling of the machine room 13 with groove-like receptacles 22, the groove openings of which face one another, whereby guides are formed with guide openings provided perpendicular to the rear.
- the holding elements 21 serve to hold a condensate collecting tray 23, for example made of plastic injection molding, which is equipped with an essentially inherently rigid holding frame 24 for the purpose of holding it.
- This has two lateral frame sections 25 which can be inserted into the groove-like receptacles 22 and which are guided therein after being inserted. These have on their front end section facing the opening plane of the machine room 13 fastening elements 26 in the form of resilient latching hooks, which depth stops 27 counter to the insertion direction Frame sections 25 are connected upstream in the receptacles 22.
- the holding frame 24 serves as a carrier of a side wall 28 which is variable in height and which, in the present case, is designed as a bellows with a plurality of folds 29 connected in series for the purpose of adjusting its height.
- a shell base 30 which is also made of water-repellent material, is integrally formed. Together with the side wall 28, this delimits a receiving space 31 for the melt water to be collected by the condensate collecting pan 23 and has a dome-like deformation 32, which is arranged at least approximately around its center and whose curvature is directed into the receiving space 31.
- the dome-like deformation 32 has at least approximately the ceiling geometry of upper housing part 16.
- the condensate collecting pan 23 is inserted into the receptacles 22 with the lateral frame sections 25 of its holding frame 24 for the purpose of its holding in the machine room 13, the correct position of the holding frame 24 being determined by the depth stops striking the free ends of the holding elements 21 27 is marked.
- the fastening elements 26 on the side frame sections 25 releasably engage in holding receptacles (not shown) on the holding elements 21.
- the assembly of the condensate drip tray 23 can take place through its height-adjustable side wall 28 with a refrigerant compressor 14 already installed, since the tray bottom 30, in the present case, with its changeable side wall 28 steplessly up to the free end of the holding elements 21 facing the compressor support rail 20 Purposes of mounting the condensate collecting pan 23 in the machine room 13 can be brought up.
- the shell base 30 is pressed against the ceiling of the upper housing part 16 with the aid of the bellows serving as a height-adjustable side wall 28 and acting as a compression spring and the dead weight of the shell base, whereby the dome-like deformation 32 in heat-conducting contact on the side facing the shell base 30 Outside of the upper housing part 16 abuts.
- the melt water that collects within the collecting chamber 31 evaporates significantly more quickly.
- a limp shell bottom would also be conceivable which, due to the prestressing forces exerted by the bellows, at least approximately automatically contacts the outside of the upper housing part 16 in heat-conducting contact.
