Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Warenkühltheke für leicht verderbliche Lebensmittel, insbesondere für Fleischwaren. Eine solche Theke umfaßt eine Thekenauslage mit einer um sie herumgeführten Luftströmung von insbesondere gekühlter Luft. Die Luftströmung wird von der Rückseite der Theke über die Thekenauslage nach vorn und von dort in einem Strömungskanal wieder auf die Thekenrückseite zurückgeführt, wo sie aus einer sich im wesentlichen über die Thekenbreite erstrekkenden und oberhalb der Rückkante der Thekenauslage angeordneten Austrittsöffnung eines Strömungskanals austritt.The invention relates to a refrigerated display counter for perishable foods, in particular for meat products. Such a counter comprises a counter display with an air flow of particularly cooled air which is guided around it. The air flow is led from the rear of the counter to the front of the counter display and from there in a flow channel back to the rear of the counter, where it emerges from an outlet opening of a flow channel that extends essentially across the counter width and is located above the rear edge of the counter display.

Eine Theke der vorbezeichneten Art ist beispielsweise aus G 83 16 262.3 bekannt. Bei dieser Theke ist in dem sich unterhalb der Thekenauslage angeordneten Bodenraum ein Ventilator angeordnet, der die Luft von der Kundenseite der Theke ansaugt und über eine Austrittsöffnung auf der Bedienseite in den die Thekenauslage umgebenden Warenraum bläst. Um aus der umgewälzten Luft Schwebpartikel etc. herauszufiltern, ist in einem kundenseitig von der Thekenauslage nach unten führenden Fallschacht ein Hygienefilter angeordnet. Trotz dieses Filters läßt es sich nicht vermeiden, daß sich in dem Bodenraum, der einen Teilbereich des Strömungskanals bildet sowie im restlichenStrömungskanal Keime wie Bakterien, Pilzsporen o.dgl. ansammeln und sich dort vermehren. Solche Keime können dann mit dem Luftstrom ungefiltert auf die Thekenauslage gelangen. Die Bildung von Keimen im Bodenraum wird bei der bekannten Theke noch dadurch unterstützt, daß dort - also an einer schwer zugänglichen Stelle - leicht verschmutzbare und die Brutstätten von Keimen bildende Thekeneinrichtungen, nämlich ein Verdampfer und ein Ventilator angeordnet sind.A counter of the aforementioned type is known for example from G 83 16 262.3. In the case of this counter, a fan is arranged in the floor space arranged below the counter display, which draws in the air from the customer side of the counter and blows into the goods area surrounding the counter display via an outlet opening on the operating side. In order to filter suspended particles etc. out of the circulated air, a hygiene filter is arranged in a chute leading downwards from the customer's display. Despite this filter, it cannot be avoided that germs such as bacteria, fungal spores or the like can be found in the floor space which forms part of the flow channel and in the rest of the flow channel. accumulate and multiply there. Such germs can then reach the counter display unfiltered with the air flow. The formation of germs in the floor space is further supported in the known counter by the fact that there are counter-devices, namely an evaporator and a fan, which are easily soiled and form the breeding grounds for germs - in a location which is difficult to access.

Davon ausgehend ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Warenkühltheke der eingangs genannten Art in hygienischer Hinsicht zu verbessern. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht ein von der Umwälzluftströmung durchströmtes Filter zum Aus-filtern von Schwebeteilchen, Bakterien o.dgl. vor, wobei dieses Filter in der Austrittsöffnung des Strömungskanal angeordnet ist und deren lichten Querschnitt vollständig überdeckt. Durch diese Anordnung ist zunächst gewährleistet, daß die in den Warenraum gelangende Luft im wesentlichen frei von Schwebeteilchen, Bakterien u.dgl. ist. Jedenfalls enthält sie weniger solcher Teilchen, als wenn die umgewälzte Luft den gesamten sich unterhalb der Thekenauslage befindlichen Raum und den sich daran anschließenden Teil des Strömungskanals durchströmt, wobei sie sich insbesondere im Bereich des Verdampfers, der bekanntermaßen eine Brutstätte für Keime ist, mit Keimen anreichern kann. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil besteht weiterhin darin, daß nun der Ventilator praktisch in unmittelbarer Nähe der Austrittsöffnung stromaufwärts hinter dem Filter angeordnet werden kann (Anspruch 12). In Warenkühltheken wird eine langsame und gleichmäßige Umwälzluftströmung angestrebt. Aus diesem Grunde ist bei der bekannten Warentheke der Ventilator relativ weit weg von der Austrittsöffnung und insbesondere unterhalb der Thekenauslage im Bodenraum angeordnet, um Luftverwirbelungen und lokale unterschiedliche Luftströmungen zu vermeiden. Ein erfindungsgemäß angeordnetes Filter wirkt somit luftreinigend und gleichzeitig als Luftstauelement, das für eine gleichmäßige langsame Luftströmung sorgt. Üblicherweise ist im Bodenraum auch ein Verdampfer angeordnet, was insbesondere bei nicht regelmäßiger Reinigung, was nicht allzuselten der Fall sein dürfte, in hygienischer Hinsicht problematisch ist.Proceeding from this, it is the object of the invention to improve a refrigerated goods counter of the type mentioned at the outset in terms of hygiene. The solution to this problem is provided by a filter through which the circulating air flow flows to filter out floating particles, bacteria or the like. before, this filter being arranged in the outlet opening of the flow channel and completely covering its clear cross section. This arrangement initially ensures that the air entering the goods space is essentially free of suspended particles, bacteria and the like. is. In any case, it contains fewer such particles than if the circulated air flows through the entire space located below the counter display and the adjoining part of the flow channel, and is particularly enriched with germs in the area of the evaporator, which is known to be a breeding ground for germs can. Another significant advantage is that the fan can now be arranged practically in the immediate vicinity of the outlet opening upstream behind the filter (claim 12). A slow and even circulation of circulating air is sought in the refrigerated counters. For this reason, in the known goods counter, the fan is arranged relatively far away from the outlet opening and in particular below the counter display in the floor space in order to avoid air turbulence and different local air flows. A filter arranged according to the invention thus has an air-cleaning effect and at the same time acts as an air-stopping element, which ensures an even, slow air flow. An evaporator is usually also arranged in the floor space, which is problematic in terms of hygiene, particularly when cleaning is not carried out regularly, which should not be the case too often.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung des Filters dagegen ist es sehr leicht möglich, den sich dahinter befindlichen Ventilator zu reinigen. Dazu muß lediglich das Filter lösbar, insbesondere verschwenkbar in der Austrittsöffnung befestigt sein (Anspruch 2). Vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn der Ventilator gemäß Anspruch 13 um eine sich in Thekenlängsrichtung erstreckende Schwenkachse aus der Austrittsöffnung herausschwenkbar ist. Es kann dann auch die Rückseite des Ventilators leicht gereinigt werden. Eine solche Schwenkbarkeit des Ventilators ist auch dann von Vorteil, wenn - in Strömungsrichtung gesehen - sich der Verdampfer nach Anspruch 14 unmittelbar hinter dem Ventilator befindet, so daß dieser unter Zuhilfenahme von geeigneten Reinigungsgeräten, wie Stielbürsten etc. leicht gereinigt werden kann, so daß die Hemmschwelle für eine gründliche Reinigung der in hygienischer Hinsicht problematischen Bereiche deutlich gesenkt ist.In contrast, in the arrangement of the filter according to the invention, it is very easy to clean the fan located behind it. For this purpose, the filter only has to be detachably, in particular pivotably, fastened in the outlet opening (claim 2). It is also advantageous if the fan can be pivoted out of the outlet opening about a pivot axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the counter. The back of the fan can then be easily cleaned. Such a pivotability of the fan is also advantageous if - as seen in the direction of flow - the evaporator according to claim 14 is located directly behind the fan, so that it can be easily cleaned with the aid of suitable cleaning devices, such as stick brushes, etc., so that the inhibition threshold for thorough cleaning of the problematic areas in terms of hygiene is significantly reduced.

Der Thekenkorpus 1 enthält eine im wesentlichen horizontale Thekenauslage 2 zur Auflage von Ware 3, die hier schematisch durch einen Raumkörper dargestellt ist. Der Warenaufnahmeraum 4 oberhalb der Thekenauslage 2 ist von einer hochschwenkbaren Thekenverglasung 5 abgeschirmt, die hier nur schematisch dargestellt ist. Der Käufer betrachtet die Ware 3 im Warenaufnahmeraum 4 von der Frontseite 6 her.The counter body 1 contains an essentially horizontal counter display 2 for supporting goods 3, which is represented here schematically by a spatial body. The goods receiving space 4 above the counter display 2 is shielded by a pivotable counter glazing 5, which is only shown schematically here. The buyer views the goods 3 in the goods receiving room 4 from the front 6.

Die Thekenauslage 2, die hier als horizontale Plattform zur Auflage der Ware 3 ausgebildet ist, wird von einer Strömung von insbesondere gekühlter Luft in Strömungsrichtung 7 umströmt. Die Strömung erfolgt von der Bedienseite 8 der Theke her über die Thekenauslage 2 bzw. über die darauf ausliegende Ware 3 in Richtung auf die Frontseite 6. Dort wird sie z.B durch die Thekenverglasung 5 nach unten abgelenkt oder abgesaugt und dem Fallschacht 9 zwischen der Frontwand 10 und einer dazu parallelen, an die Thekenauslage 2 anschließenden vertikalen Wandfläche 11 dem Bodenraum 12 zugeführt. Der Bodenraum 12 ist zwischen der Thekenauslage 2 und dem Boden 14 eingeschlossen und die Luftströmung wird seitlich auch unterhalb der Thekenauslage 2 von der Thekenwanne 15 geführt . Aus dem Bodenraum 12 wird die Umluft einem Kühlaggregat zugeführt, welches meist durch einen Verdampfer 16 gebildet ist. Der Verdampfer 16 befindet sich hinter dem Bodenraum 12 in einem Aufstiegsschacht 17, der den Endbereich des von Fallschacht 9, Bodenraum 12 und Aufstiegsschacht 17 gebildeten Strömungskanal 20 darstellt. Durch den Aufstiegsschacht 17 bzw. Endbereich steigt die Umluft nach oben und vollendet den beschriebenen Umluftzyklus. Oberhalb des Verdampfers 16 ist ein Ventilator 19 positioniert. Er ist der Antrieb für die Umluftströmung. Seine Blasrichtung ist schräg nach oben gerichtet.The counter display 2, which is designed here as a horizontal platform for supporting the goods 3, is flowed around by a flow of, in particular, cooled air in the flow direction 7. The flow takes place from the service side 8 of the counter via the counter display 2 or via the goods 3 lying thereon in the direction of the front side 6 and a vertical wall surface 11 parallel to the counter display 2 and fed to the floor space 12. The floor space 12 is enclosed between the counter display 2 and the floor 14 and the air flow is also guided laterally below the counter display 2 by the counter trough 15. The circulating air is fed from the floor space 12 to a cooling unit, which is usually formed by an evaporator 16. The evaporator 16 is located behind the floor space 12 in a riser shaft 17, which represents the end region of the flow channel 20 formed by the fall shaft 9, the floor space 12 and the riser shaft 17. The circulating air rises through the ascent shaft 17 or end region and completes the circulating air cycle described. A fan 19 is positioned above the evaporator 16. It is the drive for the circulating air flow. Its blowing direction is directed obliquely upwards.

In Strömungsrichtung bzw. stromabwärts hinter dem Ventilator 18 befindet sich in der Austrittsöffnung 20a des Strömungskanals 20 ein von der Luftströmung durchströmtes Filter 19 zum Ausfiltern von Schwebeteilchen, Bakterien o.dgl. Das Filter 19 ist von der aus dem Ventilator 18 ausgestoßenen Umluft beaufschlagt, die sich vor dem Filter 19 staut und sich daher gleichmäßig über dessen gesamte Oberfläche verteilt. Es herrscht im Bereich der Austrittsöffnung 20a vor dem Filter 19 ein Überdruck. Das Filter 19 überdeckt nämlich den lichten Querschnitt der Austrittsöffnung 20a, so daß zum einen nur nur gefilterte Luft und insbesondere im wesentlichen keimfreie in den Bereich des Warenaufnahmeraumes 4 eindringen kann und zum anderen eine gleichmäßige, verlangsamte Luftströmung vorliegt.In the direction of flow or downstream of the fan 18, in the outlet opening 20a of the flow channel 20 there is a filter 19 through which the air flow flows to filter out floating particles, bacteria or the like. The filter 19 is acted upon by the circulating air expelled from the fan 18, which accumulates in front of the filter 19 and is therefore distributed uniformly over its entire surface. There is an overpressure in the area of the outlet opening 20a in front of the filter 19. The filter 19 namely covers the clear cross section of the outlet opening 20a, so that on the one hand only filtered air and in particular essentially germ-free can penetrate into the area of the goods receiving space 4 and on the other hand there is a uniform, slowed air flow.

Die Austrittsöffnung 20a weist die Querschnittsform eines liegenden Rechtecks auf. Sie ist oberhalb der Rückkante 21 der Thekenauslage 2 angeordnet. und erstreckt sich im wesentlichen parallel zur Thekenauslage 2.The outlet opening 20a has the cross-sectional shape of a lying rectangle. It is arranged above the rear edge 21 of the counter display 2. and extends essentially parallel to the counter display 2.

Das Filter 19 ist in einem die Austrittsöffnung 20a überdeckenden Hohlprofil 22 von über die Thekenbreite gleichbleibender Querschnittsform angeordnet. Die Längsachse des Hohlprofils 22 verläuft in Richtung der Längserstreckung der Thekenbreite und damit lotrecht zu den Zeichnungsebenen der Fig. 1-3. Das Hohlprofil 22 enthält zwei zueinander parallele Flankenwände 23,24. Beide Flankenwände 23,24 sind zum Strömungsdurchtritt mit Perforationen 25 versehen. Das Hohlprofil 22 bildet die Umhüllung für den Filterstoff 26. Beide Hohlprofilenden sind durch eine Kappe oder einen Pfropfen (nicht dargestellt) verschlossen. Der Filterstoff 26 ist reinigungsfähig. Dazu ist das Filter 19 einfach aus seiner Filterstellung (Fig. 1,2) vom Thekenkorpus 1 lösbar. Das Hohlprofil 22 weist in Einbaustellung eine stehend-rechteckige Querschnittsform auf und die mit den Perforationen 25 versehenen Flankenwände 23,24 sind die längeren Rechteckseiten. An das obere Ende 27 der dem Warenaufnahmeraum 4 zugewandten Flankenwand ist eine Griffleiste 28 angesetzt. Die Griffleiste 28 ist einstückig mit dem als Strangpreßprofil ausgebildeten Hohlprofil 22 hergestellt, wobei die Strangpreßrichtung mit der Längsachse des Hohlprofils lotrecht zu den Zeichnungsebenen von Fig. 1-3 verläuft. An das untere Ende 29 der vorderseitigen Flankenwand 24 des Hohlprofils 22 ist eine nach unten abstehende Senkrippe 30 angesetzt. Die Senkrippe 30 dient zum in Verschließstellung (Fig. 1,2) wirksamen Formschlußeingriff in eine das Teil eines Hebe-Senk-Verschlusses bildende Aufnahmerille 31 am Thekenchassis 32. In Verschließstellung liegt das Filter 19 an einer Anlageleiste 33 des Thekenkorpus 1 an. Zur Lösung des Filters 19 wird es an seiner Griffleiste 28 zunächst in Pfeilrichtung 34 angehoben, sodann im Gegenuhrzeigersinn nach unten in Pfeilrichtung 35 geschwenkt, wobei es die in Fig. 2 gestrichelt dargestellte Schwenkposition einnimmt, und dann in Pfeilrichtung 36 aus der Aufnahmerille 31 des Thekenchassis 32 herausgezogen, d.h. vom Thekenkorpus 1 gelöst. Das Wiedereinsetzen erfolgt auf umgekehrtem Wege. In Fig. 4 ist eine alternative Ausgestaltung eines Filters 19 dargestellt. Es umfaßt einen Träger 42, der perforiert ist, um eine Luftdurchströmung zu ermöglichen. An seinem im Montagezustand oberen Rand ist die Griffleiste 28 angeformt. Der untere Rand des im wesentlichen eine liegend rechteckige Form aufweisenden Trägers bildet die Senkrippe 30. Oberhalb der Senkrippe 30 ist ein - im Schnitt quer zur Thekenlängsrichtung gesehen - C-förmiger Tragarm 43 angeformt, der eine Aufnahmenut 44 bildet. In diese Aufnahmenut 44 ist ein Filterelement 45 mit seinem unteren Randbereich eingesteckt. An der dem Strömungskanal 20 zugewandten Seite des Trägers 42 sind Abstandshalter 46 angeformt, an denen sich das Filterelement 45 abstützt. Der Filterstoff 26 des Filterelements ist von einer perforierten Umhüllung 47 im wesentlichen vollständig umgeben. Vorzugsweise ist das Filterelement 42 in Thekenlängsrichtung in mehrere Teilelemente unterteilt. Zur Reinigung des Filters 19 wird der Träger 42 unter Zuhilfenahme der Griffleiste 28 aus seiner Verschließstellung herausgeschwenkt und das Filterelement 45 bzw. die einzelnen Teilelemente können dann ganz einfach aus der Aufnahmenut 44 herausgenommen und gereinigt werden.The filter 19 is arranged in a hollow profile 22 which covers the outlet opening 20a and has a cross-sectional shape which is constant over the width of the counter. The longitudinal axis of the hollow profile 22 runs in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the counter width and thus perpendicular to the drawing planes of FIGS. 1-3. The hollow profile 22 contains two mutually parallel flank walls 23, 24. Both flank walls 23, 24 are provided with perforations 25 for the passage of the flow. The hollow profile 22 forms the envelope for the filter material 26. Both ends of the hollow profile are closed by a cap or a stopper (not shown). The filter material 26 can be cleaned. For this purpose, the filter 19 can easily be detached from the counter body 1 from its filter position (FIG. 1, 2). In the installed position, the hollow profile 22 has a standing, rectangular cross-sectional shape and the flank walls 23, 24 provided with the perforations 25 are the longer sides of the rectangle. A grip strip 28 is attached to the upper end 27 of the side wall facing the goods receiving space 4. The grip strip 28 is made in one piece with the hollow profile 22 designed as an extruded profile, the extruding direction running perpendicular to the drawing planes of FIGS. 1-3 with the longitudinal axis of the hollow profile. At the lower end 29 of the flank wall 24 of the hollow profile 22 on the front side, a downward-facing serrated rib 30 is attached. The sink crib 30 is used for positive engagement in the closed position (FIG. 1, 2) in a receiving groove 31 forming part of a lifting / lowering closure on the counter chassis 32. In the closed position, the filter 19 rests on a contact strip 33 of the counter body 1. To release the filter 19, it is first raised on its grip 28 in the direction of the arrow 34, then pivoted counterclockwise downward in the direction of the arrow 35, assuming the pivot position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 2, and then in the direction of the arrow 36 from the receiving groove 31 of the counter chassis 32 pulled out, ie detached from the counter body 1. The reinstallation takes place in the opposite way. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a filter 19. It includes a bracket 42 which is perforated to allow air to flow therethrough. The grip strip 28 is molded onto its upper edge in the assembled state. The lower edge of the carrier, which has a substantially rectangular shape, forms the senkrippe 30. Above the senkrippe 30, a C-shaped support arm 43 is formed, seen in cross section to the longitudinal direction of the counter, which forms a receiving groove 44. A filter element 45 with its lower edge region is inserted into this receiving groove 44. Spacers 46, on which the filter element 45 is supported, are formed on the side of the carrier 42 facing the flow channel 20. The filter material 26 of the filter element is essentially completely surrounded by a perforated sheath 47. Preferably the filter element 42 is divided into several partial elements in the longitudinal direction of the counter. To clean the filter 19, the support 42 is swiveled out of its closed position with the aid of the handle 28 and the filter element 45 or the individual sub-elements can then be easily removed from the receiving groove 44 and cleaned.

Bei entferntem Filter 19 ist der Ventilator 18 zugänglich. Der Ventilator 19 ist an einem Träger 38 befestigt, der an seinem dem Warenraum 4 zugewandten Rand um eine Schwenkachse 37 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Schwenkachse 37 verläuft in Thekenlängsrichtung. Der Ventilator 19 ist bei entferntem Filter 19 aus der Austrittsöffnung 20a in Pfeilrichtung 39 herausschwenkbar. Er nimmt dann etwa eine Position 40 ein, die jener des von der Austrittsöffnung 20a weggeklappten Filters 19 entspricht. Seine Rückseite 41 ist dann leicht zugänglich und dementsprechend gründlich reinigbar. Wenn sich der Ventilator 18 in der Positon 40 befindet, ist auch der Verdampfer 16 oder ein sonstiges zur Kühlung eingesetztes Kühlaggregat zugänglich und kann einer gründlichen Reinigung unterzogen werden.When the filter 19 is removed, the fan 18 is accessible. The fan 19 is fastened to a carrier 38 which is pivotably mounted on its edge facing the goods space 4 about a pivot axis 37. The pivot axis 37 runs in the longitudinal direction of the counter. When the filter 19 is removed, the fan 19 can be pivoted out of the outlet opening 20a in the direction of arrow 39. It then assumes a position 40 which corresponds to that of the filter 19 folded away from the outlet opening 20a. Its back 41 is then easily accessible and can therefore be cleaned thoroughly. If the fan 18 is in the position 40, the evaporator 16 or another cooling unit used for cooling is also accessible and can be subjected to thorough cleaning.

Eine Anzeige zur Bestimmung des Zeitpunktes einer Filterreinigung könnte über einen Überdrucksensor mit Fühler im Strömungskanal 20 oder durch einen Säuregehalt-Sensor bestimmt werden.A display for determining the time of a filter cleaning could be determined via an overpressure sensor with a sensor in the flow channel 20 or by means of an acidity sensor.
