REGIONAL WEATHER DEPENDING ON COVER OPENING. REFRIGERATOR WITH A DIRECTIONAL MECHANISM

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigeration system designed to limit the escape of cold air from the interior to the outside environment when the refrigerator door is opened. The invention encompasses a mechanical air control system comprising: adjustable air valves of the rotary flap type positioned within air ducts; a valve actuation mechanism that moves these air valves; a mechanical triggering structure connected to the door movement, operated by a control lever or connecting rod; air guiding plates; regional air barrier elements; a spring mechanism; insulation panels; and a guide rail system. Within the system, opening the refrigerator door triggers a mechanical actuation mechanism that activates the control lever or connecting rod, transmitting this movement to the valve's operating mechanism. This causes the rotary flap-type adjustable air valves to narrow the air passage within the air channels, thus restricting airflow. Additionally, air guide plates direct airflow towards the interior volume, while regional air barrier elements contribute to maintaining cold air in specific shelf areas. This reduces the sudden air circulation that occurs when the door is opened, limits the escape of cold air to the outside environment, and ensures that the temperature balance inside the refrigerator is maintained more stably.

REFRIGERATOR WITH A DIRECTIONAL MECHANISM Technological Field: This invention is used in household and industrial refrigeration devices, and refrigerator internal air circulation. systems, air direction mechanisms and cold generated due to lid opening 10 regional air control systems for reducing air loss in the technical field It is related to. The invention specifically concerns the contents of the refrigerator interior when the door is opened. To reduce the escape of cold air to the outside environment; air ducts, moving air using valves, air directing elements and regional isolation components 15 a refrigerator structure with a mechanical air directing mechanism It is related. State of the Art: In conventional refrigerator systems, the cooling process is achieved by cooling produced by the cooling unit. low temperature air circulation by fan-assisted air circulation or natural convection It is based on the principle of distributing the contents throughout the interior volume using this method. In these systems, 20 Cold air is circulated between the shelf compartments, maintaining the indoor temperature at specific levels. It is intended to be kept in place. However, there is a significant technical problem with the current systems. Refrigerator When the lid is opened, the dense, low-temperature air inside the volume, It spreads rapidly to the external environment, especially from the lower regions. This situation causes the internal temperature to reach 25°C. This disrupts the balance, causes the compressor to switch on more frequently, and increases energy consumption. This leads to an increase, especially in usage scenarios where the lid is frequently opened and closed. The energy loss in question is becoming more pronounced. Current solutions aim to reduce this problem by using multi-door body structures and drawers. storage compartments, partitioned interior designs and highly insulated door systems 30 is used. However, these solutions address the issues that arise when the lid is opened. It is unable to actively or directionally control the air movement. Furthermore, the existing In these systems, movable air valves operate depending on the opening position of the lid. regional air directing elements or cold air in specific shelf areas There are no mechanical air barrier structures to ensure containment. 35 In known systems, air circulation generally remains constant throughout the entire interior space. and regionally, depending on whether the lid is open or closed, it restricts or directs the airflow. 2 No control mechanisms are used. Therefore, the 5 that occurs when the lid is opened. As a result of sudden air circulation, cold air is directed directly to the outside environment, and the system Cooling efficiency is decreasing. In addition, existing solutions; • ensuring the shelf compartments outside the opened area are insulated, • regional restriction of airflow, 10 • Movable mechanical control that keeps cold air contained within the interior space. the use of their structures • Implementing mechanical valve control based on flap movement It is unable to provide this. Therefore, current technical solutions address the 15... reducing cold air loss and directing airflow regionally It falls short in this regard. The purpose of the invention is to reduce the cold inside the refrigerator when the door is opened. a regional air redirect that reduces the uncontrolled spread of air to the outside environment The goal is to develop a refrigerator with this mechanism. 20 Another purpose of the invention is to allow air in certain air channels to escape when the lid is opened. by restricting the flow of cold air in the shelf compartments outside the opened area The aim is to ensure its protection. Another purpose of the invention is to create movable air valves and air directing elements. By directing airflow to specific areas through it, cold air can be directly transferred to the cover 25 The goal is to prevent it from turning towards the open. Another purpose of the invention is regional air barrier elements and insulation components. using shelf-based air retention and internal temperature balance to contribute to its protection. Another purpose of the invention is to integrate mechanical fasteners, spring mechanisms, and valve movement. 30 A low-energy consumption and easy-to-manufacture air control system that operates using this method. The goal is to create a mechanism. Another aim of the invention is to improve energy efficiency by reducing the frequency of compressor operation. The goal is to increase airflow and minimize temperature fluctuations inside the refrigerator. 35 Explanation of the Figures 3 Figure 1: 5 of the refrigerator with regional air direction mechanism, which is the subject of the invention.

It relates to a refrigerator structure that has a control mechanism. The system described in the invention consists of a refrigerator body (1), hinged on the body (1). at least one movable door (2), internal shelf compartments (3), air ducts (4), rotary flap type 10 adjustable air valves (5), fan unit (6), cooling unit (7), lid movement dependent mechanical trigger structure (8), mechanical connecting elements (9), air guidance plates (10), regional air barrier elements (11), spring mechanism (12), control handle or connecting rod (13), fastening elements (14), air outlets (15), insulation panels (16), flexible sealing elements (17), valve actuation mechanism (18), 15 It consists of a guide rail system (19) and a support frame (20). Low temperature air produced by cooling unit (7) is passed through fan unit (6). The air ducts (4) are directed into the fuselage (1). They are positioned to extend along the interior shelf compartments (3) and have air vents (15) It ensures the distribution of cold air into the shelf compartments (3) through. 20 Rotary flap type adjustable air valves (5) are located near the air outlets (15). in the regions, moving around the axis of rotation inside the air ducts (4) The air valves (5) are located within the cross-section of the air duct (4). By rotating, it increases or decreases the air passage area. Thus, air ducts (4) The airflow inside is mechanically controlled. 25 Valve actuation mechanism (18), mechanical connection with rotary flap type air valves (5) It works in connection with its elements (9). Valve movement mechanism (18), mechanically connected to the control lever or connecting rod (13), and the connection The linear motion on the rod (13) causes the rotation of the rotary flap type air valves (5). It transforms into a movement. 30 The mechanical trigger structure (8) which is dependent on the lid movement, contacts the inner surface of the lid (2). It is implemented in the form of a linear mechanical push arm structure. The mechanical structure in question... The trigger structure (8) is placed on the control lever or connecting rod (13) when the cover (2) is opened. By applying linear mechanical force, the valve actuation mechanism (18) is activated He is spending 35 years. In normal operation, rotary flap type air valves when the cover (2) is in the closed position. (5) is in the open position. In this case, the cool produced by the fan unit (6) air throughout the entire interior volume via air ducts (4) and air outlets (15) is being distributed. When the cover (2) is opened, the connecting rod (13) is activated by the mechanical trigger structure (8) is moved and the said movement is to the valve actuation mechanism (18) It is transmitted through the valve actuation mechanism (18) of rotary flap type air valves.

Thanks to this structure, there is rapid air circulation in the lid opening area. This reduces the flow of cold air and prevents it from directly escaping to the outside environment. 15 Thus, cold air stays in the shelf compartments (3) outside the opened area for a longer period. protection is ensured. Air guide plates (10) are angled around the air outlets (15). They are positioned. These air guide plates (10) are rotary flap type air Working together with valves (5), the airflow is directed downwards and inwards towards the interior volume 20 It directs the cold air directly into the hatch opening. is prevented by the air vortex and sudden air movement that occurs when the lid (2) is opened. is being reduced. Regional air barrier elements (11) extend downwards between rack compartments (3). They were implemented in the form of fixed barrier panel structures. The regional air 25 in question barrier elements (11) limit the air movement that occurs between shelf compartments (3) It helps to trap cold air in certain areas. Insulation panels (16) will work together with regional air barrier elements (11). The shelf compartments (3) are positioned around the flexible sealing elements (17). By making contact between the insulation panels (16) and the body surfaces, it prevents air leakage. It reduces. The spring mechanism (12) brings the rotary flap type air valves (5) to their normal operating position. It enables it to return. When the lid (2) is closed, the mechanical trigger mechanism (8) the linear mechanical force on it is eliminated and the spring mechanism (12) As a result of this effect, the rotary flap type air valves (5) return to the open position. 35 Guide rail system (19), connecting rod (13) and valve actuation mechanism (18) It is used to enable controlled linear motion. 6 The support frame (20) and fastening elements (14) are the body (1) 5 of the system components. It ensures that it is mounted securely inside.
