Refrigerating appliance comprising a no-frost system

Abstract

A refrigerating appliance having at least one storage compartment cooled by circulating air; a mobile control element to control at least one circulation condition of the circulating air in the storage compartment; a motor to adjust the mobile control element; a control unit to adjust, by means of the motor, a position of the mobile control element according to a circulation condition value that is specified by a user; and a data memory; wherein at least one assignment value is stored in the data memory that assigns the circulation condition value suitable for at least one type of cooled item.

         13 . A refrigerating appliance, comprising:
 at least one storage compartment cooled by circulating air;   a mobile control element to control at least one circulation condition of the circulating air in the storage compartment;   a motor to adjust the mobile control element;   a control unit to adjust, by means of the motor, a position of the mobile control element according to a circulation condition value that is specified by a user; and   a data memory;   wherein at least one assignment value is stored in the data memory that assigns the circulation condition value suitable for at least one type of cooled item.   
     
     
         14 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the data memory is arranged in the control unit; wherein the data memory stores an assignment table that assigns a respective circulation condition value that is suitable for a set of types of cooled item. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 14 , wherein the circulation condition is a quantitative variable; wherein the control unit selects the circulation condition value be adjusted at the mobile control element based on a user input specifying a plurality of types of cooled items; wherein the circulation condition value is at least as great as the lowest value assigned to a specified type of cooled items; and wherein the circulation condition value is not greater than the highest value assigned to the specified type of cooled items. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 15 , wherein a rule is selected from among at least two of:
 selecting a respective lowest value assigned to the specified type of cooled items;   selecting a respective highest value assigned to the specified type of cooled items; and   forming a mean value from among at least one of the respective lowest value and the respective highest value assigned to the specified type of cooled items.   
     
     
         17 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 16 , wherein the rule is selected by the user. 
     
     
         18 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 16 , wherein the control unit is structured to select the rule based on the specified type of cooled items. 
     
     
         19 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the control unit ascertains the circulation condition value by offering the user a plurality of circulation condition values from which to choose. 
     
     
         20 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the control unit ascertains the circulation condition value by offering a plurality of types of cooled items accommodated in the storage compartment from which to choose and by selecting a suitable circulation condition value for a specified cooled item based on a user input specifying a type of cooled item. 
     
     
         21 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the circulation condition is a degree of moisture of the circulating air. 
     
     
         22 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 13 , further comprising a first circulation path for circulating air from an evaporator to the storage compartment that passes through a diffusion layer and a second circulation path that bypasses the diffusion layer, and wherein the position of the mobile control element influences distribution of the circulating air to the first and second circulation paths. 
     
     
         23 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 13 , wherein air passage openings are formed in a wall separating an air flow area from the storage compartment; wherein a diffusion layer is moved, by means of the motor, between a first position in which the diffusion layer covers the air passage openings and a second position in which the diffusion layer enables air to stream through the air passage openings while bypassing the diffusion layer. 
     
     
         24 . The refrigerating appliance of  claim 23 , wherein, when the diffusion layer is in the second position, the diffusion layer is at a predetermined distance from the wall.
