Refrigeration Device Comprising a Flap Motor Compartment and a Motor Compartment Cover

Abstract

A refrigeration device having a refrigerant circuit for cooling a cooling chamber of the refrigeration device, including: an evaporator area delimited from the cooling chamber at least partly by an evaporator cover; an air channel located within the evaporator area for guiding air to the cooling chamber; a flap, which is configured to guide air within the air channel; a flap motor, which is configured to operate the flap and which is positioned in a flap motor compartment located within the evaporator area; a motor compartment cover, which is configured to guide water, away from the flap motor compartment.

1 . Refrigeration device having a refrigerant circuit for cooling a cooling chamber of the refrigeration device, comprising:
 an evaporator area delimited from the cooling chamber at least partly by an evaporator cover;   an air channel located within the evaporator area for guiding air to the cooling chamber;   a flap, which is configured to guide air within the air channel;   a flap motor, which is configured to operate the flap and which is positioned in a flap motor compartment located within the evaporator area;   a motor compartment cover, which is configured to guide water, away from the flap motor compartment.   
     
     
         2 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a fan, which is configured to supply air from the evaporator area through the air channel to the cooling chamber and further comprising a fan cover which at least partly embodies the motor compartment cover. 
     
     
         3 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 2 , wherein the motor compartment cover is at least partly formed integrally with the fan cover. 
     
     
         4 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the motor compartment cover is made at least partly of plastic. 
     
     
         5 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the motor compartment cover is an integral part of the flap motor compartment. 
     
     
         6 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the motor compartment cover closes the flap motor compartment with respect to at least one side or at least two sides or at least three sides or at least four sides or at least five sides. 
     
     
         7 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the motor compartment cover closes the flap motor compartment at least from above or at least from a front side or at least from a lateral side. 
     
     
         8 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the flap motor compartment comprises a compartment opening towards the evaporator area. 
     
     
         9 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the flap motor compartment comprises a compartment opening towards the evaporator area at a lateral side of the flap motor compartment. 
     
     
         10 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the flap motor compartment comprises a compartment opening towards the evaporator area and components located within the flap motor compartment are mountable and/or detachable from the flap motor compartment in a mounted state of the motor compartment cover through that compartment opening. 
     
     
         11 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the flap motor drives an eccentric element, which is positioned in the flap motor compartment, wherein the eccentric element drives a flap pin of the flap, wherein the flap pin is positioned in the flap motor compartment, and wherein the flap pin operates the flap. 
     
     
         12 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the evaporator area is positioned at a top side of the refrigeration device and extends from a front side of the refrigeration device to a back side of the refrigeration device. 
     
     
         13 . Refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the flap motor compartment comprises a switch, which is electrically connected to an electrical system of the refrigeration device and is configured to control the operation of the flap motor.
