Abstract

The invention concerns a refrigeration and/or freezer system with at least two refrigeration and/or freezer units, each having its own refrigeration component, with a common operating unit for a minimum of two refrigeration or freezer units, and with a signal transmission component for transmitting signals between the operating unit and the refrigeration or freezer unit in order to control the refrigeration or freezer units with the help of the operating unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system with 
 At least two refrigeration or freezer units ( 1 ,  3 ), each having its own refrigeration component,    A common operating unit ( 7 ) for a minimum of two refrigeration or freezer units ( 1 ,  3 ), and    A signal transmission component ( 5 ,  13 ) for transmitting signals between the operating unit ( 7 ) and the refrigeration or freezer unit for the purpose of controlling the refrigeration or freezer units by the operating unit ( 7 ).    
     
     
         2 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which each refrigeration or freezer unit has its own control unit for controlling the pertinent refrigeration component, with the control units being connected with the operating unit ( 7 ) via the signal transmission component ( 5 ,  13 ).  
     
     
         3 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the common operating unit ( 7 ) is integrated into one of the refrigeration or freezer units ( 1 ,  3 ).  
     
     
         4 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the refrigeration or freezer unit ( 1 ,  3 ) includes at least one refrigeration unit and one freezer unit.  
     
     
         5 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the system includes an ice-cube maker.  
     
     
         6 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the signal transmission component ( 5 ,  13 ) includes a bus system.  
     
     
         7 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the signal transmission component ( 5 ,  13 ) is connected by cable.  
     
     
         8 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the individual refrigeration and/or freezer units ( 1 ,  3 ) have a plug/connector system such that when the individual refrigeration and/or freezer units ( 1 , 3 ) are appropriately positioned in relation to each other, a plug of one of the refrigeration/freezer units ( 1 ,  3 ) works together with a corresponding connector of another refrigeration/freezer unit ( 1 ,  3 ) for purposes of signal transmission.  
     
     
         9 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the signal transmission component is a wireless transmission component.  
     
     
         10 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1 , in which the signal transmission component is includes the transmission of additional data, particularly refrigeration data or content data.  
     
     
         11 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 2 , in which the common operating unit ( 7 ) is integrated into one of the refrigeration or freezer units ( 1 ,  3 ).  
     
     
         12 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 2 , in which the refrigeration or freezer unit ( 1 ,  3 ) includes at least one refrigeration unit and one freezer unit.  
     
     
         13 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 3 , in which the refrigeration or freezer unit ( 1 ,  3 ) includes at least one refrigeration unit and one freezer unit.  
     
     
         14 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 11 , in which the refrigeration or freezer unit ( 1 ,  3 ) includes at least one refrigeration unit and one freezer unit.  
     
     
         15 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 2 , in which the system includes an ice-cube maker.  
     
     
         16 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 3 , in which the system includes an ice-cube maker.  
     
     
         17 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 4 , in which the system includes an ice-cube maker.  
     
     
         18 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 1   1 , in which the system includes an ice-cube maker.  
     
     
         19 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 12 , in which the system includes an ice-cube maker.  
     
     
         20 . Refrigeration and/or freezer system according to  claim 13 , in which the system includes an ice-cube maker.
