Definitions
- the present invention refers to a constructive arrangement to provide an additional forced air circulation in the interior of the cabinet of refrigerators and freezers, particularly to increase air circulation in the internal regions of the cabinet that are located close to the front door of each compartment of said cabinet.
- the invention is intended to be applied to refrigerators and freezers with a simple cabinet, presenting a single compartment with a respective front door, or two superposed compartments, each being frontally closed by a door.
- the increase of the refrigerated airflow in the interior of the cabinet allows cooling more rapidly and intensively the load stored in the front region of the cabinet and thus reducing the temperature inside the cabinet, with no additional energetic consumption being required from the refrigeration system, which thus becomes more efficient .
- There are known different constructive solutions aiming at providing a more efficient cooling of the front region of the cabinets of refrigerators and freezers with forced air circulation.
- the supply of cool air to the front region of the refrigeration compartment or freezer compartment of a cabinet is achieved by conducting part of the forced airflow, coming from the air-cooling chamber within which is lodged the evaporator, to the door region, through ducts incorporated to the cabinet structure and which communicate with at least one duct formed in the door structure and which is provided with a plurality of air outlets turned to the interior of the compartment.
- the cool airflow to be directed to a compartment is derived to the front region of the cabinet through ducts provided in the structure of the latter, being then transferred to one or more ducts provided on the door of the appliance.
- the present invention is directed to refrigerators and freezers of the type comprising a cabinet, defining at least one compartment frontally closed by a door, and an air-cooling chamber lodging an evaporator, said compartment being supplied with a forced cooling airflow, coming from the air-cooling chamber, and provided with at least one air return duct directed to the air-cooling chamber.
- the arrangement comprises at least one suction duct incorporated to the door, extending along at least part of the height of the latter and which is provided along the extension thereof with a plurality of air inlets opened to the interior of the respective compartment, and with at least one air outlet.
- a return fan is mounted to the suction duct, in order to draw the air from different levels of the front part of the compartment, in a closed door condition, through the air inlets of the suction duct, and to form inside the latter a return airflow directed to the air outlet turned to the interior of the cabinet .
- the air outlet of the suction duct is arranged so that, upon the closing of the door, at least part of the return airflow is directed to the inside of the air return duct, to be conducted to the air-cooling chamber .
- the arrangement proposed herein can be further provided with a directional duct, mounted to at least one of the parts defined by the door and the cabinet and which is provided with an inlet nozzle to receive the return airflow from the suction duct, and an outlet nozzle which directs at least part of the return air to the inside of the air return duct of the compartment .
- the present arrangement operates jointly with a means for sensing the operational condition of the door and which allows the fan mounted to the latter to be automatically driven by a control module of the refrigeration appliance only when the door is closed, as it usually occurs with the fan operatively associated with the air-cooling chamber and which is responsible for the forced cooling airflow which is caused to pass through the compartment to be refrigerated.
- Figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal vertical sectional view of a combined refrigerator, whose cabinet defines an upper freezer compartment and a lower refrigeration compartment, which compartments are frontally closed by respective doors and with the refrigeration compartment being provided with the arrangement for the forced air circulation of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the internal face of the refrigeration compartment door of the cabinet illustrated in figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of part of the arrangement for the forced air circulation illustrated in figures 1 and 2;
- Figure 4 is a view similar to that of figure 1, but illustrating the freezer compartment door also provided with the arrangement for the forced air circulation of the present invention
- Figure 5 is a front elevational view of the internal face of the freezer compartment door of the cabinet illustrated in figure 4.
- Figure 6 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the fan used in the suction duct provided in the freezer compartment door, according to the arrangement for the forced air circulation illustrated in figure 4.
- the arrangement for the forced air circulation of the present invention is directed to refrigeration appliances in the form of combined or not combined refrigerators and freezers, whose cabinet 10 forms at least one refrigeration compartment 20 or one freezer compartment 30, each being frontally closed by a respective door 21, 31.
- the cabinet 10 further defines an air-cooling chamber 11 lodging an evaporator 12 of a refrigeration system, whose compressor is mounted in the lower rear part of the cabinet 10.
- a refrigeration fan 14 is mounted inside the cabinet 10, in order to draw the refrigerated air from the air-cooling chamber 11 and to form a forced cooling airflow, which is supplied to the refrigeration compartment 20, to the freezer compartment 30, or optionally to both the refrigeration compartment 20 and the freezer compartment 30 in the case of the combined cabinets, as illustrated in figures 1 and 4.
- the forced cooling airflow coming from the air-cooling chamber 11 and produced by the refrigeration fan 14 is conducted to the single compartment or to both the refrigeration and freezer compartments 20, 30 of a combined cabinet 10, by means of supply ducts 22, 32, which can take different constructions such as that exemplarily illustrated.
- Each refrigeration compartment 20 and freezer compartment 30 is further provided with at least one air return duct 23, 33 which is directed to the air- cooling chamber 11, so as to obtain a forced circulation of refrigerated air in a closed circuit when the door or doors 21, 31 is/are closed, between the air-cooling chamber 11 and the compartments defined by the cabinet 10.
- the arrangement for the forced air circulation according to the present invention comprises only one suction duct 40, which is incorporated to the door 21 of the refrigeration compartment 20 longitudinally in relation to said door 21 and extending along at least part of the height of the latter.
- the suction duct 40 is preferably located in the median region of the door 21, in order to be totally or partially embedded or not embedded at all in the thickness of the latter.
- the suction duct 40 is partially embedded in the door 21, so as to have a front face projecting outwardly from the internal face 21a of the door 21, as illustrated in figures 1 and 2.
- the shelves 25 of the door 21 are also medianly interrupted or at least narrowed in the region that is superposed to the width of the suction duct 40.
- the shelves 25 of the door 21 can be medianly interrupted.
- the suction duct 40 is provided with a plurality of air inlets 41 which are opened to the inside of the refrigeration compartment 29 when the respective door 21 is in a closed condition, said air inlets 41 being provided along the width and the length of the suction duct 40, in order to maintain the interior of the latter in communication with the adjacent confronting front portion of the refrigeration compartment 20.
- the suction duct 40 presents an air outlet 42 positioned as a single air outlet at the upper end of the suction duct 40.
- the air outlet 42 is defined at an end portion 43 with a widened depth of the suction duct 40 projecting outwardly from the front face of the latter, ending at a level that is above or below the level of the upper shelf 25 of the door 21.
- a return fan 50 which is mounted to the suction duct 40 so as to draw the air from different levels of the front portion of the refrigeration compartment 20 in a closed condition of the door 21, through the air inlets 42 of the suction duct 40, and to form inside the latter a return airflow which is directed to the air outlet 42 of the suction duct 40.
- the air outlet 42 of the suction duct 40 is preferably dimensioned and positioned in such a way as to conduct the return airflow to an internal region of the respective compartment 20, 30 located close to an inlet window 23a, 33a of the air return duct 23, 33 of the refrigeration compartment 20 or freezer compartment 30.
- the constructive arrangement mentioned above allows the air drawn by the suction duct 40 to be at least partially returned to the air-cooling chamber 11 through the air return duct 23, 33 and not entirely returned to the respective compartment.
- a directional duct 60 affixed to at least one of the parts defined by the door 21 and the cabinet 10 and which presents an inlet nozzle 61, which is arranged to receive the return airflow from the suction duct 40, and an outlet nozzle 62, which is turned to the inside of the refrigeration compartment 20.
- the return fan 50 comprises a rotor 51 mounted inside a tubular shell 55, which is coaxially coupled, by an open end, to the air outlet 42 of the suction duct 40 and with its also open opposite end being coupled to the inlet nozzle 61 of the directional duct 60.
- the directional duct 60 comprises an inlet portion 60a, coaxial to the air outlet 42 of the suction duct 40 and which carries the inlet nozzle 61, and an outlet portion 60b, constructed so as to define an outlet nozzle 62 in the form of a window with small height and having a width which can be quite larger than that of the suction duct 40.
- the return fan 50 and the air outlet 42 have the same axis which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the suction duct, and the inlet nozzle 61 and the outlet nozzle 62 of the suction duct have their axes lying in distinct directions, with the axis of the inlet nozzle 61 coinciding with the axis of the return fan 50 and of the air outlet 42 of the suction duct 40.
- the directional duct 60 is shaped so that its outlet nozzle 62 directs the return airflow to the inside of the respective inlet window 23a of the air return duct 23 of the refrigeration compartment 20, as better illustrated in figure 1.
- the air which is drawn from the front portion of the refrigeration compartment 20 close to the door 21, is returned at least in great part to the air return duct 23 and to the air-cooling chamber 11, in order to have its temperature lowered by the evaporator 12 , before being returned to the interior of the refrigeration compartment 20 through the supply duct 22.
- the air outlet 42 of the suction duct 40 is preferably positioned at the lower end of the latter, adjacent to the dividing wall 16 of the cabinet 10 that separates the compartments from each other. This arrangement allows the air outlet 42 of the suction duct 40 to be positioned closer to the air return duct 23 directed to the air-cooling chamber 11.
- the present arrangement for the forced air circulation can be also applied to the freezer compartment 30.
- the door 31 of this compartment is provided with an internal face 31a from which projects a suction duct 40, similar to that of the door 21 of the refrigeration compartment 20 and which is provided with air inlets 41 that are turned to the inside of the freezer compartment 30, and with an air outlet 42 which is generally positioned, at the lower end of the suction duct 40, adjacent to the dividing wall 16 of the cabinet 10 in the refrigeration appliances of the combined type in which the freezer compartment 30 is provided over the refrigeration compartment 20.
- the suction duct 40 provided in the door 31 of the freezer compartment 30 can have its air outlet 42 presenting an axis orthogonal to the plane of the door 31 and configured so as to receive and secure a tubular shell 55 of a return fan 50.
- the return fan 50 can discharge the return airflow directly inside the freezer compartment 30 and preferably close to the inlet window 33a of the air return duct 33, with no need of providing a directional duct 60 similar to that provided in the refrigeration compartment 20.
- the freezer compartment 30 could be also provided with a directional duct 60, in case its existence is required as a function of the compartment design.
- the return fan 50 and the air outlet 42 have the same axis, which is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the suction duct 40.
- the arrangement of the present invention allows the air contained in the front region of any of the compartments 20, 30 of the cabinet 10 to be drawn by the return fan 50 mounted in the door 21, 31, and to be returned, at least in great part, to the air-cooling chamber 11.
- the outlet 42 of the suction duct 40 provided or not with the directional duct 60, be positioned close to the air return duct 23, 33 already designed for the respective compartment 20, 30 and which in the case of the combined cabinets, is generally provided in the region of the dividing wall 16. While only one embodiment of the invention has been illustrated, it should be understood that changes in the form and arrangements could be made without departing from the inventive concept defined in the appended claims .
