Abstract
An apparatus for producing consumable cubes of ice has at least one immersion element (46), which is provided with a conductive ice-adhesion surface (46a), and a refrigerator (34). The immersion element (46) is suitable for immersion, by way of its ice-adhesion surface (46a), in a consumable liquid (58). The refrigerator (34) is connected structurally to the immersion element (46) and has a predetermined heat-transporting device for cooling down at least the ice-adhesion surface (46a) to a freezing temperature of the liquid (58) such that, with the immersion element (46) in an immersed state, that liquid (58) which is in relatively close proximity to the ice-adhesion surface (46a) can be frozen and a cube of ice can be formed from some of the liquid (58) on the ice-adhesion surface (46a).
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to refrigerator, wherein said refrigerator comprises insulated case and opening, and the wall that wherein said opening passes described housing extends and by movably baffle plate is salable.This baffle plate for example can be used to seal the ice dispense aperture of the refrigerator with ice machine, but this baffle plate is not limited to this.
Background technology
In order to prevent that unnecessary heat from flowing in the inside of refrigerator, if the no words of this baffle plate airtight sealing always.The known spring that utilizes distributes baffle plate to keep pressing refrigerator ice cube, and if will distribute ice cube, then open described baffle plate by means of promoting magnet.Actuator, linear actuator etc. also can be used to open and close baffle plate.
For the airtight sealing dispense aperture, seal is set usually, wherein when baffle plate was in the closed position, described seal was pressed between the edge of baffle plate and opening.Traditional seal is the solid torus of making by such as the rubber polymer material of TPE or silicon rubber.
For airtight sealing, seal needs specific contact pressure.This contact pressure must be enough big, thereby the uneven degree on the sealing surfaces of the baffle plate that seal can offset thereon to be pressed.If contact pressure is too little and unevenness is too high, then can't realize suitable sealing effectiveness.If, corresponding powerful and expensive driving implement must be set then, thereby baffle plate pressed seal and/or baffle plate is being moved apart from seal in order to realize that sealing effectiveness needs high contact pressure.
Summary of the invention
Therefore purpose of the present invention is to propose a kind of design of refrigerator, wherein can utilize minimum contact pressure to realize reliable sealing effect.
This purpose is achieved and is a kind of refrigerator, this refrigerator comprises insulated case and opening, the wall that wherein said opening passes housing extends and passes through movably baffle plate sealing, when baffle plate is in the closed position, seal is pressed between the edge of opening at baffle plate, and the sealing part is formed by the sealed volume that is full of fluid at most of cross section.This structure makes seal be pressed into obviously surrender in the zone between the edge of baffle plate and opening strongly when baffle plate is closed, and can not produce high reset force, and to be fluid go to the zone that the more low-intensity of seal compresses from this zone its mode.
In order to optimize this effect, expectation be cavity volume wall for the effect of the reset force of seal be minimized by comparing at the reset force that fluid produced that is pressed between the edge of opening and the baffle plate.That is to say that the wall of cavity volume is advantageously soft so that the utensil that is adopted is enough to the mode that baffle plate cooperates with power pushed and abuts against opening, thereby in the situation of non-leakproof cavity volume, makes cavity volume collapse and fluid is discharged from seal in refrigerator.
In order to realize pressure balance along seal within big distance, cavity volume will advantageously extend within the whole length of seal.At this, the seal preferred form is a ring pipe.
The fluid that seal was full of is gas preferably, and this is that described gas will can not tend to compile in the position, lower side of seal when seal is not in horizontal installation site because compare with liquid.This gas is air preferably.
In order to ensure the easy deformation of seal, gas stands atmospheric pressure.
In order to avoid applied pressure on seal, seal also preferably has non-circular cross sections.
Description of drawings
To know other features and advantages of the present invention with reference to accompanying drawing by the following explanation of illustrative examples, wherein:
Fig. 1 shows the schematic cross sectional views of the refrigerator with ice dispenser, and distribution baffle arrange-ment of the present invention is given described ice dispenser;
The schematic cross sectional views that Fig. 2 shows ice dispenser and distributes the passage between the alcove.
The specific embodiment
Refrigerator shown in the schematic cross sectional views of Fig. 1 comprises insulated case 1 and door 2, and wherein said door 2 surrounds an inside.Inner 3 by evaporator cools, holds in the evaporator room 4 of the isolation of wherein said evaporimeter in the upper-side area of housing 1.
Automatic ice-making device 5 next-door neighbour evaporator room 4 arrange in inner 3.Collection container 6 is installed in ice maker 5 belows, and described collecting chamber is collected the ice cube that is produced by ice maker 5.Being positioned at auger conveyor on the bottom of collection container 6 is used to ice cube is transported to dispense aperture 8 near the end of the collection container 6 of door.
Recess 12 forms in the middle section of door 2, and the upper wall of described recess is positioned at dispense aperture 8 belows of collection container.Tubular or funnel-shaped passage (being also referred to as the ice cube chute) are passed this wall and are extended.Ice cube chute 9 is hermetic locked by adiabatic baffle plate 18 at its downside end place, thereby does not have hot-air to run out of by the ice cube chute 9 of refrigerator from recess 12.
Fig. 2 shows ice cube chute 9 and the show in schematic partial sections of the baffle plate 18 that can pivot around axle 11, and the dispense aperture 10 of the ice cube chute 9 in the recess 12 is offered in wherein said baffle plate sealing.
Can engage with axle 11 with the actuator (not shown) that opposite direction drives, thereby open and close baffle plate 18; Back-moving spring can also easily be set, and wherein said back-moving spring is pressing dispense aperture 10 with baffle plate 18, and the reset force that electromagnet is being resisted spring is pulled away from baffle plate from dispense aperture 10.
Seal is pressed between the edge of dispense aperture 10 at sealed sides skirt 13, and described seal is formed by the continuous circular shape plastic tube 14 with non-rigid wall.Get around mouthful inner volume 15 of the plastic tube that 10 annulars are extended and comprise air, the quantity not sufficient of this air reaches circular cross section so that managing 14 expands until described pipe.Pipe 14 thereby can surrender sealed sides skirt 13 and act directly on pressure on the dispense aperture 10, and before the whole periphery contact tube 14 of sealed sides skirt 13, can not produce any tangible reset force.Because the minimal reset power of tube material is so the minimum contact force of baffle plate 18 is enough to realize reliable sealing effect more.Little, space-saving and save the driving element of cost thereby be enough to drive the opening and closing campaign of baffle plate 18.
