Description:
COOLANT ICE TRAY Technical Field

The invention is about the coolant ice tray that enables foods outside the refrigerator to be cooled and kept undecayed. In particular the coolant ice tray is connected to a household refrigerator and it enables foods put on it to be cooled with the liquid coolant gas taken from the refrigerator.

Prior Art Today household refrigerators of various sizes and feautures are being used to keep foods to be preserved for specific amounts of time and drinks to be cooled to specific temperatures.

In the current technique, when using household refrigerators and the refrigerator volume is inadequate, it makes it difficult to place especially cookers and large-sized pots in the refrigerator. Thereby because of this inadequate volume it causes foods that can not be placed in the refrigerator, to be kept in room temperature and decay of bacterial growth and wasted. This brings the need for an alternative set-up for the purpose of preventing these problems caused by foods that can not be put in the refrigerator and kept in room temperature.

As a result, the problem described above and insufficiency of current solutions, required to make a development in the regarding technical area. The Purpose of the Invention

The presented invention is about the coolant ice tray that eliminates the disadvantages mentioned above and brings new advantages to the regarding technical area. The main purpose of the invention, is to procure a coolant ice tray that’s connected with the refrigerator, cooled with the liquid coolant gas taken from the refrigerator and enables the foods put on it to be cooled.

The purpose of the invention, is to prevent the foods in the cookers and pots that can not be put in the refrigerator because of inadequate volume, kept in room temnperature and decay.

Another purpose of the invention, is to eliminate the problem of inadequate volume in household refrigerators.

Another purpose of the invention, is to procure a coolant ice tray that can be placed on top of the refrigerator or any place in the kitchen.

Another purpose of the invention, is to procure a coolant ice tray that can be fed by liquid coolant gas from external sources other than refrigerator.

In order to meet all the purposes mentioned above and in the detailed description below the invention is about the coolant ice tray that enables foods outside the refrigerator to be cooled and kept undecayed. The characteristic of the invention is including;

- an upper body of rectangular form which enables foods to be put on it,

- a lower body which’s under the said upper body,

- a side body surrounding the said upper and lower bodies,

- a coolant pipe of accordion shape which’s placed between the said upper and lower body and allowing the liquid coolant gas to circulate through it,

- a pipe connected with the said coolant pipe and enabling the liquid coolant gas to be transferred to the coolant pipe by way of the engine and the pump in the refrigerator that’s generating the liquid coolant gas,

- a valve connected with the said coolant pipe and enabling the liquid coolant gas entry to the coolant pipe to be opened and cut.

All the advantages and characteristics of the invention will be understood more clearly with the help of the below scheme and the detailed description written by referring to this scheme, for this reason assessment should be made considering this scheme and the detailed description.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives of the coolant ice tray (10), are described only to better understand the subject and in a way to not to cause any limitings. The general view of the coolant ice tray (10) is given in Figure 1. Accordingly the coolant ice tray, in the most basic form, is including an upper body (11) made of metal or glass, a lower body (13) made of ABS profile under the upper body (11), a side body (12) made of ABS profile surrounding the upper (11) and lower (13) bodies, a coolant pipe (14) formed in an accordion shape placed between the upper (11) and the lower (13) bodies and allowing liquid coolant gas circulation through it, a pipe (15) connected with the coolant pipe (14) and allowing the liquid coolant gas to be transferred to the coolant pipe (14) by way of the refrigerator’s (20) engine (21) and pump (22) operated by the liquid coolant gas, a valve (18) connected with the coolant pipe (14) and enabling the liquid coolant gas entry to the coolant pipe (14) to be opened and cut by way of the turn on/off key (16) or thermostat (17) and a holder (19) attached on the side body (12) and allowing the coolant ice tray (10) to be mounted on the side surface of the refrigerator (20).

The coolant ice tray (10) in general consists of a rectangular upper body (11) made of metal or glass, a rectangular lower body (13) made of ABS profile under the upper body (11) and a side body (12) made of ABS profile placed between upper (11) and lower (13) bodies. The upper body (11) is the place where foods are put in to be kept cooled.

In between the upper (11) and the lower (13) bodies there’s the coolant pipe (14) formed in an accordion shape and allowing the upper body (11) to be cooled and liquid coolant gas circulation through it. The coolant pipe (14) is made of copper and connected to a pipe (15) exiting from the side of the side body (12). The said pipe (15) is connected to the refrigerator’s (20) engine (21) and pump (22) operated with liquid coolant gas in order to allow liquid coolant gas flow to the coolant pipe (14).

The opening and cutting of the liquid coolant gas entry to the coolant pipe (14) is carried out by the valve (18) connected to the coolant pipe (14). The said valve (18) is controlled by the turn on/off key (16) or the thermostat (17). The turn on/off key (16) is enabling the valve (16) to be opened or closed directly by the user while the thermostat (17) is doing this by measuring the upper body (11) temperature. There’s the holder (19) at the side of the side body (12) allowing the coolant ice tray

(10) to be attached on the side surface of the refrigerator (20) and allowing its’ height to be configured by letting it move up and down on a rail (23).

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the engine (20) and the pump (21) in the refrigerator (20) may be external and the coolant ice tray (10) may operate independent from the refrigerator (20).

The use of the coolant ice tray (10) subject to invention is as below;

The coolant ice tray (10) will be placed on the rail (23) at the side surface of the refrigerator (20) by a the holder (19) in a way to move up and down and when pressed on the turn on/off key (16) the valve (18) will be opened and through the pipe (15) connected to the engine (21) and the pump (22) in the refrigerator (20) the liquid coolant gas will be flowed to the coolant pipe (14).

With the coolant pipe (14) cooled by the flow of liquid coolant gas through it, the upper body (11) made of metal or glass will be cooled and foods put on the upper body (11) are cooled. During the cooling process, with the upper body (11) being cooled down to a specific temperature, a temperature measurement will be made in the upper body

(11 ) by way of thermostat (17) and the valve (18) will be opened or closed and the flow of liquid coolant gas will be cut or opened.

The coolant ice tray (10) can be detached from the rail (23) on the refrigerator (20) and be used by placing it on any place in the kitchen.

After using it the coolant ice tray (10) can be turned off with the turn on/off key (16).

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the pipe (15) may be connected to an external engine (21) and pump (22) independent from the refrigerator (20) and the coolant ice tray (10) can be operated independent from the refrigerator (20).
