Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlgerät, insbesondere ein Mehrtemperaturen-Kühlgerät, mit einer Kältemaschine und einem wärmeisolierten Gehäuse, in welchem ein durch Kältemittelleitungen miteinander verbundenes Verdampfersystem angeordnet ist, dessen das System bildende Verdampfer einzeln in voneinander thermisch getrennten Fächern angeordnet sind, deren Temperatur durch eine die Kältemittelzufuhr zu den jeweiligen Verdampfern über eine Ventileinheit steuernde Regleranordnung beeinflussbar ist, wobei die Notwendigkeit der Kältemittelzufuhr über Temperaturfühler in den Fächern an die Regleranordnung signalisiert ist.The invention relates to a cooling device, in particular a multi-temperature cooling device a refrigerator and a heat insulated housing in which a through Refrigerant lines interconnected evaporator system is arranged, the evaporators forming the system individually in thermally separated compartments are arranged, the temperature of which through a refrigerant supply to the respective Evaporators can be influenced via a controller arrangement controlling a valve unit, wherein the need for refrigerant supply via temperature sensors in the compartments to the Controller arrangement is signaled.
Aus der EP-A-0119024 ist ein Kältegerät mit einem Gefrierfach, einem Kühlfach und einem Gemüsefach bekannt; wobei jedes der Fächer über eine separate Tür Zuganglich ist und zwischen den einzelnen Fächern nicht näher bezeichnete Trennmaßnahmen vorgesehen sind, um die bestimmungsgemäße Fachtemperatur eines jeden Kältefachs sicherstellen zu können. Das Kältegerät besitzt eine Kältemaschine mit einem Kältemittelkreislauf, welcher zur Aufrechterhaltung der bestimmungsgemäßen Fachtemperaturen drei Verdampfer aufweist, von denen zwei dem Gefrierfach und einer dem Kühlfach zugeordnet ist, während das Gemüsefach lediglich über den Kühlfachverdampfer mitgekühlt ist. Die Verschaltung der Verdampfer ist dabei so gewählt, dass ein erster Gefrierfachverdampfer dem Kühlfachverdampfer in Reihenschaltung nachgeordnet ist, während der zweite Gefrierfachverdampfer in Reihenschaltung vor dem ersten Gefrierfachverdampfer liegt. Das bekannte Mehrtemperaturen-Kühlgerät ist von seinem Aufbau her mit drei Kältefächern zur Einlagerung von verschiedenartigem, eine unterschiedliche Lagertemperatur erfordernden Lagergut konzipiert, wobei das Gemüsefach aufgrund seiner Anwendung innerhalb eines anderen Temperaturbereiches als das Kühlfach liegt, aber über das letztere mitgekühlt ist. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die beiden Fächer, obwohl sie jeweils über separate Türen zugänglich sind, nicht wärmeisolierend, sondern allenfalls einen unmittelbaren Kälteeinfluss verhindernd, voneinander getrennt sein können. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein Wärmeaustausch zwischen den Kältefächern, so dass ein Kompromiss im Hinblick auf die Aufrechterhaltung der bestimmungsgemäßen Fachtemperaturen getroffen werden muss, da sich beide Kältefächer hinsichtlich der darin herrschenden Temperatur gegenseitig beeinflussen, wobei die Einflussnahme des Kühlfaches auf das Gemüsefach, da auf ersteres naturgemäß öfter zugegriffen wird, deutlich ausgeprägter ist. Durch die Einflussnahme auf das Gemüsefach ergibt sich für dieses nicht nur eine ungünstige Temperaturbeeinflussung, sondern gleichzeitig auch noch eine Störung des zur optimalen Lagerung von Gemüse dienenden Feuchtehaushalts.From EP-A-0119024 is a refrigerator with a freezer, a refrigerator and known a vegetable compartment; each of the compartments accessible via a separate door is and separation measures not specified between the individual subjects are provided to the intended compartment temperature of each refrigeration compartment to be able to ensure. The refrigerator has a chiller with one Refrigerant circuit, which is used to maintain the intended Compartment temperature has three evaporators, two of which are the freezer and one is assigned to the refrigerator compartment, while the vegetable compartment is only on the Cooling compartment evaporator is also cooled. The interconnection of the evaporators is selected so that that a first freezer compartment evaporator is connected in series to the refrigerator compartment evaporator is subordinate, while the second freezer evaporator in series before first freezer evaporator. The well-known multi-temperature cooling device is from its structure with three cold compartments for storing various types, one different storage temperature designed storage goods, the Vegetable compartment due to its application within a different temperature range than the cooling compartment, but is also cooled by the latter. As a result, the two compartments, although they are each accessible via separate doors heat-insulating, but at best preventing an immediate influence of cold, can be separated from each other. This results in a heat exchange between the cold compartments, so a compromise with regard to the maintenance of the Intended compartment temperatures must be taken, since both Cold compartments with respect to the temperature inside each other influence, with the influence of the refrigerator compartment on the vegetable compartment, because on the former is naturally accessed more often, is significantly more pronounced. Through the Influencing the vegetable compartment does not only result in an unfavorable one Temperature influence, but at the same time also a disturbance of the optimal Storage of moisture supply for vegetables.
Weiterhin ist aus der DE-PS 33 14 056 ein Gefriergerät mit zwei übereinander angeordneten Fächern bekannt, die thermisch voneinander getrennt und in unterschiedlichen Anwendungen einsetzbar sind. In einer ersten Variante können beide Fächer als Gefrierfächer betrieben werden, während eine zweite Variante vorsieht, das tieferliegende als Gefrier und das höherliegende als Normalkühlfach zu betreiben. In einer dritten Variante ist vorgeschlagen, das tieferliegende Fach als Gefrierfach einzusetzen und das höherliegende Fach stillzulegen.Furthermore, from DE-PS 33 14 056 a freezer with two one above the other arranged subjects known that are thermally separated and in different applications can be used. In a first variant, both can Compartments are operated as freezer compartments, while a second variant provides that to operate lower than freezer and the higher than normal refrigerator compartment. In a Third variant is proposed to use the deep compartment as a freezer compartment and shut down the higher compartment.
Zur Kühlung der Fächer ist neben zwei Verdampfern hoher Kälteleistung ein zusätzlicher Verdampfer geringerer Kälteleistung vorgesehen, die alle von einem einzigen Verdichter mit Kältemitteln versorgt werden, wobei der Kältemittelzufluss zu den einzelnen Verdampfern über zwei Ventilanordnungen steuerbar ist, mit deren Hilfe drei Kältemittelkreisläufe gebildet sind. Durch eine der Ventilanordnungen, nämlich der, die den Eingängen der Reihenschaltung angeordneten Verdampfer mit der höheren Kälteleistung vorgeschaltet ist, sind zwei Kältemittelkreisläufe bildbar, wobei in einer ersten Ventilstellung beide Verdampfer von Kältemittel durchströmt werden und in einer zweiten Ventilstellung nur der nachgeschaltete Verdampfer allein mit Kältemittel beaufschlagt ist. Die zweite der Ventilanordnungen ist am Ausgang des in der Reihenschaltung der Verdampfer höherer Kälteleistungen nachgeschalteten Verdampfers angeordnet und ermöglicht den Kältemittelzufluss zu dem zusätzlichen Verdampfer, der in dem höherliegenden Fach des Gefriergerätes installiert ist, in welchem auch der in der Reihenschaltung der Verdampfer höherer Kälteleistung voranliegende angeordnet ist.In addition to two evaporators with high cooling capacity, there is an additional one for cooling the compartments Lower cooling capacity evaporators are provided, all from a single compressor be supplied with refrigerants, the refrigerant inflow to the individual Evaporators can be controlled via two valve arrangements, with the help of three Refrigerant circuits are formed. By one of the valve arrangements, namely the one evaporator arranged at the inputs of the series circuit with the higher one Cooling capacity is connected upstream, two refrigerant circuits can be formed, one in first valve position both evaporators are flowed through by refrigerant and in one second valve position only the downstream evaporator with only refrigerant is acted upon. The second of the valve arrangements is at the outlet of the in the Series connection of evaporators with higher cooling capacities downstream evaporator arranged and allows the refrigerant flow to the additional evaporator, which in the higher compartment of the freezer is installed, in which also in the Series connection of the evaporator higher refrigeration capacity is arranged upstream.
Soll das Gefriergerät als Kühl- und Gefrierkombination eingesetzt werden, ist der in dem höherliegenden Fach angeordnete zusätzliche Verdampfer in den Kältemittelkreislauf eingeblendet und dem aktiven, im tieferliegenden Fach angeordneten Gefrierfachverdampfer nachgeschaltet, während der im oben liegenden Fach befindliche Gefrierfachverdampfer inaktiv geschaltet ist. If the freezer is to be used as a fridge and freezer combination, it is in the Additional evaporator located in the higher compartment in the refrigerant circuit faded in and the active, arranged in the lower compartment Freezer evaporator downstream, while the one in the overhead compartment Freezer evaporator is inactive.
Für den Fall, dass beim Betrieb des Gerätes als Kühl- und Gefrierkombination in das Gefrierfach größere Mengen frischen Guts eingelagert wird, das ausgefroren werden soll, wird die Kälteleistung im als Normalkühlfach betriebenen Fach stark geschmälert, so dass bei einer Temperaturanforderung des Normalkühlfachs, der Gefriervorgang zeitweilig unterbrochen werden muss, wodurch die Gefrierleistung stark absinkt. Will man dies vermeiden, muss das Kältesystem, dessen Füllmenge von dem allein betreibbaren Gefrierfachverdampfer bestimmt ist, überfüllt werden.In the event that when operating the device as a fridge and freezer combination in the Freezer compartment stores larger quantities of fresh goods that are to be frozen out, the cooling capacity in the compartment operated as a normal refrigerator compartment is severely reduced, so that if the temperature of the normal refrigerator compartment is high, the freezing process is temporary must be interrupted, causing the freezing performance to drop sharply. If you want this must avoid the refrigeration system, the filling quantity of which can be operated alone Freezer evaporator is designed to be overfilled.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Kältegerät mit mehreren voneinander thermisch getrennten Fächern unterschiedlicher Temperatur, die zur Kühlung der Fächer erforderlichen Kältekreisläufe so auszubilden, dass jedes Fach unabhängig von einem anderen innerhalb des für einen Anwendungszweck definierten Temperaturbereichs regelbar ist, ohne dass die Kälteleistung in den einzelnen Fächern geschmälert ist.The invention has for its object in a refrigerator with several thermally separated compartments of different temperature, which are used for cooling of the subjects to design refrigeration circuits so that each subject is independent from another within that defined for an application Temperature range is adjustable without the cooling capacity in the individual compartments is diminished.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the features of claim 1.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung zeichnet sich einerseits dadurch aus, dass das Gefrierfach aufgrund dessen, dass es den anderen Fächern nachgeschaltet ist, stets mitgekühlt wird, so dass nur eine geringe zusätzliche eigene Laufzeit notwendig und die Gefrierleistung hoch ist. Andererseits ist jedes der Kühlfächer separat regelbar, so dass der für ihren Anwendungszweck erforderliche Temperaturbereich in engen Grenzen unabhängig von äußeren Einflüssen, wie die das Kältegerät umgebende Außentemperatur oder die Einladung von großen Mengen frischen Kühlguts in eines der anderen Fächer, eingehalten wird. Außerdem bewirkt eine derartige Anordnung, bei der der kälteste Verdampfer den anderen nachgeschaltet ist, dass sich in diesem das gesamte Kältemittel sammelt und somit den jeweilig aktiven Kältekreis unverzögert zur Verfügung gestellt ist. Außerdem liegt ein weiterer Vorteil darin, dass bei noch vertretbarem Aufwand für die Ventile und deren Ansteuerleitungen eine sichere Ansteuerung der einzelnen Verdampfer gewährleistet ist. The solution according to the invention is distinguished on the one hand by the fact that the freezer compartment due to the fact that it is always connected to the other compartments, so that only a small additional own runtime is necessary and the freezing capacity is high. On the other hand, each of the cooling compartments can be regulated separately, so that the one for yours Application temperature range required within narrow limits regardless of external influences, such as the outside temperature surrounding the refrigerator or the Inviting large quantities of fresh chilled goods to one of the other compartments, is observed. In addition, such an arrangement causes the coldest Evaporator downstream of the other is that all the refrigerant is in this collects and thus the respective active cooling circuit is made available without delay. In addition, there is a further advantage that, with a still reasonable effort for the Valves and their control lines ensure safe control of the individual evaporators is guaranteed.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Ventileinheiten in Reihenschaltung zueinander angeordnet sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention it is provided that the valve units are arranged in series with one another are.
Eine solche Ausgestaltung zeichnet sich durch ihren geringen Aufwand an Kältemittelleitungen aus.Such an embodiment is characterized by its low expenditure on refrigerant lines out.
Besonders genau eingehalten werden die Temperaturen in den unterschiedlich gekühlten Fächern, wenn nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Ventileinheiten unabhängig voneinander, von einem die Temperaturen in den einzelnen Fächern auswertenden Regeler gesteuert sind, wobei die Temperaturen von Temperaturfühlern erfaßt und an den Regler signalisiert werden.The temperatures in the differently cooled rooms are particularly closely observed Subjects if after a further advantageous embodiment of the subject the invention provides that the valve units independently of one another the controller evaluating the temperatures in the individual subjects are, the temperatures being recorded by temperature sensors and signaled to the controller become.
Entsprechend einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß außer in dem Fach mit der größten Kälteleistung, in jedem der anderen Fächer ein Ventilator angeordnet ist, der die Luft in diesen Fächern sowohl im Kühl- als auch im Abtaubetrieb zwangsweise umwälzt, wobei der Ventilator--Luftstrom dem durch die Kälteleistung der jeweiligen Verdampfer erzeugten Konvektionsstrom überlagert ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention it is envisaged that, except in the compartment with the highest cooling capacity, in each the other compartments a fan is arranged which both the air in these compartments in cooling as well as in defrost operation, forced circulation, the fan - air flow the convection current generated by the cooling capacity of the respective evaporator is superimposed.
Durch eine solche Lösung wird in den genannten Fächern, die z.B. als Kellerfach oder als 0°-Fach Anwendung finden, eine nahezu gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung innerhalb des Faches erreicht.With such a solution, the subjects mentioned, e.g. as a cellar compartment or as a 0 ° compartment, an almost even temperature distribution within of the subject.
Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß außer in dem Fach mit der größten Kälteleistung, in jedem der anderen Fächer zwei Temperaturfühler vorgesehen sind, von denen einer an der Verdampferoberfläche angeordnet ist, während der andere die Lufttemperatur im Fach erfaßt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention it is envisaged that, except in the compartment with the highest cooling capacity, in each of the others Compartments two temperature sensors are provided, one of which is on the evaporator surface is arranged while the other detects the air temperature in the compartment.
Die Vorteile einer solchen Lösung sind darin zu sehen, daß neben einem automatischen Abtauen auch die Aufrechterhaltung der Temperaturen in diesen beiden Fächern, insbesondere wenn es sich um ein 0°-Fach oder ein Kellerfach handelt, in engen Toleranzgrenzen möglich ist . The advantages of such a solution can be seen in the fact that in addition to an automatic Defrosting also maintaining temperatures in these two compartments, especially if it is a 0 ° compartment or a cellar compartment, in narrow spaces Tolerance limits is possible.

ist druckseitig ein Verflüssiger 20 nachgeschaltet, der beispielsweise auf der von der
Öffnung des Gehäuses 11 abgewandten Rückseite angeordnet ist. An den Ausgang
des Verflüssigers 20 schließt eine Trocknerpatrone 21 an, deren Ausgang mit dem Eingang
einer ersten Ventileinheit 22 verbunden ist. Einer der Ausgänge der ersten Ventileinheit
22 steht mit dem Eingang einer zweiten gleichartigen Ventileinheit 22, eine Reihenschaltung
zwischen diesen beiden bildend, strömungstechnisch in Verbindung.
Durch die noch freien Ausgänge der in Reihenschaltung zueinander angeordneten, als
elektromagnetisch betriebene 3/2-Wege-Ventile ausgebildeten Ventileinheiten 22 sind
drei unterschiedliche Kältekreisläufe I, II und III gebildet, die mit Kältemittel beaufschlagbar
sind, wobei die Ventileinheiten 22, die Bestandteil der Kältemittelkreisläufe I,
II und III sind, als Steuerorgane für die Kältemittelzufuhr zu dem jeweiligen Kältemittelkreislauf
dienen und den vom Verflüssiger 20 über die Trocknerpatrone 21 ankommenden
Kältemittelfluß in einen der Kreisläufe umleiten. Jedem der Ausgänge der Ventileinheiten

ausgestatteten, das Verdampfersystem bildenden Verdampfern 24 bis 26,
wobei der Verdampfer 24, der allein im Kältekreislauf I angeordnet ist, mit der höchsten
Kälteleistung ausgestattet und dem Gefrierfach 12 zugeordnet ist. Von den beiden anderen
Verdampfern 25 und 26, die beide in etwa die gleiche Kälteleistung aufweisen,

25 zusammen mit dem ihm nachgeschalteten Gefrierfachverdampfer 24 im
Kältekreislauf III angeordnet, während der Verdampfer 26, der dem Kellerfach 17 zugeordnet
ist, zusammen mit dem Gefrierfachverdampfer 24, in Reihenschaltung vor diesem
liegend, im Kältekreislauf II angeordnet ist.As shown in FIG. 2, the
Jeder der Kältelmittelkreisläufe I bis III führt über den Gefrierfachverdampfer 24, der
über eine nicht näher bezeichnete Kältemittelleitung saugseitig an den Verdichter 19
angeschlossen und im Bedarfsfall, wenn Kältebedarf im Gefrierfach 15 vorliegt, allein
für sich mit Kältemittel über den Kältemittelkreislauf I beaufschlagbar ist, während sowohl
der Verdampfer 25 im Normalkühlfach 16 als auch der im Kellerfach 17, jeweils in
Reihenschaltung vor dem Verdampfer 24 liegend, über die Kältemittelkreisläufe II und
III mit flüssigem Kältemittel beaufschlagbar ist, wodurch das Gefrierfach 15 stets mitgekühlt
wird. Der Kältebedarf in den Fächern 15 und 16 wird über die Raumluft erfassende
Temperaturfühler 27 in Form von Luftfühlern und im Gefrierfach 14 über einen an
der Oberfläche des Verdampfers 24 angeordneten Fühler 28 ermittelt. Deren Signale
werden über Signalleitungen 29 einer Regleranordnung 30 zugeleitet und von dieser
ausgewertet. Die Regleranordnung 30 steuert in Abhängigkeit der Fühlersignale, über
elektrische Verbindungsleitungen 31 sowohl das Ein- und Ausschalten des Kältemittelverdichters
19 als auch die Ventilstellung der Ventileinheiten 22, je nachdem, welcher
der Kältemittelkreise mit Kältemittel beaufschlagt werden soll. Zudem werden über die
Regleranordnung 30 über elektrische Leitungen 32 noch Ventilatoren 33 angesteuert,
von denen jeweils einer im Normalkühlfach 16 und der andere im Kellerfach 17 angeordnet
ist und dort zur Reduzierung der Temperaturschichtung sowohl im Kühlbetrieb
als auch im Abtaubetrieb dienen, wobei durch ihre Anordnung der durch die Kälteleistung
des jeweiligen Verdampfers erzeugte Konvektionsstrom unterstützt ist. Für die
Steuerung des Abtaubetriebes, der bedarfsweise eingeleitet wird, sind im Kellerfach 17
und im Normalkühlfach 16 an den Oberflächen der dort angeordneten Verdampfer 25
und 26, nicht gezeigte Temperaturfühler vorgesehen, die den Abtauvorgang nach Erreichen
einer vorgegebenen Temperaturschwelle beenden.Each of the refrigerant circuits I to III passes through the
