Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer device having at least one body with at least one full vacuum insulation body element, and having at least one cooled inner chamber arranged inside said body, the device comprising at least one coolant circuit for cooling the inner chamber, and the entire coolant circuit being made as an assembly that is inserted into the body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit having at least one carcass that has at least one full vacuum insulation body and having at least one cooled inner space arranged in the carcass, wherein the unit has at least one refrigerant circuit that serves the cooling of the inner space,
 characterized in that   the complete refrigerant circuit is configured as an assembly that is placed into the carcass.   
     
     
         2 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit having at least one carcass that has at least one full vacuum insulation body and having at least one cooled inner space arranged in the carcass, wherein the unit has at least one refrigerant circuit that serves the cooling of the inner space,
 characterized in that   at least one cut-out at the marginal side is arranged in the full vacuum insulation body through which the suction line extends from the evaporator to the compressor and which is provided with at least one thermal insulation.   
     
     
         3 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least one cut-out at the marginal side is arranged in the full vacuum insulation body through which the suction line extends from the evaporator to the compressor and which is provided with at least one thermal insulation. 
     
     
         4 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that at least one defrost line is furthermore present by means of which water is drained from the cooled inner space, with the defrost water drain likewise extending through the cut-out at the marginal side. 
     
     
         5 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the refrigerant circuit has at least one suction line that extends from the evaporator to the compressor of the refrigerant circuit and that at least sectionally runs along the outer side of the vacuum insulation body or of the carcass; and in that at least one thermal insulation of the suction line is present over a part section or over the total length of the suction line extending on the outer side of the vacuum insulation body. 
     
     
         6 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the refrigerant circuit is in the base region of the unit. 
     
     
         7 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the vacuum insulation body and the carcass are configured in box shape. 
     
     
         8 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the vacuum-tight envelope of the vacuum insulation body at least partly comprises a film, with the film being designed as a pushed in square bottom bag. 
     
     
         9 . A refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit in accordance with  claim 8 , characterized in that the square bottom bag has film folds in the region of the cut-out that provide the excess film required to form the recess. 
     
     
         10 . A method of manufacturing a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the complete refrigerant circuit is designed as an assembly that is placed into the carcass. 
     
     
         11 . A method in accordance with  claim 10 , characterized in that the refrigerant circuit is filled with refrigerant on insertion; and/or in that the refrigerant circuit is placed in such that its suction line is at least sectionally arranged in at least one cut-out at the marginal side and the cut-out is arranged in the full vacuum insulation body through which the suction line extends from the evaporator to the compressor and which is provided with at least one thermal insulation. 
     
     
         12 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the vacuum insulation body and the carcass are configured in box shape, with provision being made that the vacuum insulation body has no apertures. 
     
     
         13 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that at least one defrost line is furthermore present by means of which water is drained from the cooled inner space, with the defrost water drain likewise extending through the cut-out at the marginal side. 
     
     
         14 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that the refrigerant circuit has at least one suction line that extends from the evaporator to the compressor of the refrigerant circuit and that at least sectionally runs along the outer side of the vacuum insulation body or of the carcass; and in that at least one thermal insulation of the suction line is present over a part section or over the total length of the suction line extending on the outer side of the vacuum insulation body. 
     
     
         15 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that the refrigerant circuit is in the base region of the unit. 
     
     
         16 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that the vacuum insulation body and the carcass are configured in box shape. 
     
     
         17 . A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that the vacuum-tight envelope of the vacuum insulation body at least partly comprises a film, with the film being designed as a pushed in square bottom bag. 
     
     
         18 . A refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that the square bottom bag has film folds in the region of the cut-out that provide the excess film required to form the recess. 
     
     
         19 . A method of manufacturing a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that the complete refrigerant circuit is designed as an assembly that is placed into the carcass.
