| description | A method of manufacturing a refrigeration appliance (10) includes a step of providing a liner (14) and a refrigerator component (40). The liner (14) defines a compartment (20, 24) for storing food items and includes a liner contact structure. The refrigerator component (40) includes component contact structure. The method further includes a staging step that includes arranging the liner (14) and refrigerator component (40) such that the liner (14) and component contact structures are in direct contact with each other under pressure, thereby forming a staged assembly. Moreover, the method includes a welding step that includes applying ultrasonic energy to the staged assembly to weld the liner (14) and refrigerator component (40) together at their interface, thereby forming a liner assembly (14, 40). The method further includes a cabinet assembly step that includes arranging the liner assembly (14, 40) within an outer shell (16), and then injecting an insulating foam into a space between the liner assembly (14, 40) and outer shell (16).
Procédé de fabrication d'un appareil de réfrigération (10) qui comprend une étape de fourniture d'une doublure (14) et d'un composant de réfrigération (40). La doublure (14) définit un compartiment (20, 24) servant à stocker des articles alimentaires et comprend une structure de contact de doublure. Le composant de réfrigération (40) comprend une structure de contact de composant. Le procédé comprend en outre une étape d'étagement qui comprend l'agencement de la doublure (14) et le composant de réfrigération (40) de telle sorte que la doublure (14) et les structures de contact de composant soient en contact direct les unes avec les autres sous pression, ce qui permet de former ainsi un ensemble étagé. De plus, le procédé comprend une étape de soudage qui comprend l'application d'énergie ultrasonore à l'ensemble étagé pour souder la doublure (14) et le composant de réfrigération (40) ensemble au niveau de leur interface, ce qui permet de former ainsi un ensemble de doublure (14, 40). Le procédé comprend en outre une étape d'assemblage d'armoire qui comprend l'agencement de l'ensemble de doublure (14, 40) à l'intérieur d'une coque externe (16), puis l'injection d'une mousse isolante dans un espace entre l'ensemble de doublure (14, 40) et la coque externe (16). |
