Definitions

the invention relates to a refrigerated counter for perishable foods, such as. B. Meat products.
a counter comprises a body in which a counter trough is embedded, with a goods platform in the counter tub for supporting Goods is arranged.
a goods room above the goods platform which is usually covered by counter glazing for hygienic reasons is.
To cool the goods is a cooling device in an outside of the Arranged area lying area, with the help of a fan Circulated air flow is generated, the cooled air over the goods support area leads.
the goods become multiple during a sales day removed and replaced.
a cooling device is usually located in places of the refrigerated counter that are not easily accessible, so that cleaning them is problematic for this reason alone. In addition are usually several cooling surfaces lamellar close to each other in cooling devices ordered, which makes their cleaning even more difficult.
a refrigerated counter is known in which a UV radiation source together with a cooling device within a cooled for circulation Air-serving flow channel is arranged. The UV radiation source is included surrounded by an aperture, the effect of UV radiation on the cooling device prevented.
the invention has for its object refrigerated counters of the aforementioned Kind to improve in hygienic terms. This task is accomplished through the combination of features of claim 1 solved. Then the cooling device is in the Effective area of the UV radiation source arranged and exposed to UV radiation. The UV radiation source therefore not only has a germicidal effect on those in the Flow channel circulates air, but also effectively prevents the The formation of germs on the cooling surfaces, which are generally difficult to access the cooling device, so that even with longer cleaning intervals none Contamination from the cooling device with germs is to be feared.
the UV radiation source and the cooling device are preferably in the feed channel arranged, that is, in the channel through which the circulated air from the tub space is returned upwards to the goods area.
the UV radiation source and the fan are in the upper, with a feed opening in the area of the feed channel opening into the goods space arranged (claim 4).
the UV radiation source placed in a flood-protected place. It is namely, it is also conceivable to arrange a UV radiation source in the tub space. However, this would mean the regular cleaning work in the area of the counter tub to disturb.
the UV radiation source would have to be watertight be. With an arrangement according to the invention, this is not necessary, it is sufficient here a splash-proof version.
the fan is according to claim 5 arranged in the flow direction after the UV radiation source. This has the Advantage that the fan and the parts supporting it are the source of UV radiation shield to the goods room. No UV radiation should get into the goods area, since this has a graying effect, especially on meat and sausage items.
the surfaces are those exposed to UV radiation Boundary walls of the radiation room reflective. Thereby the effectiveness of the radiation is increased, so that even when used only a spot light the radiation room is largely irradiated. Surface areas, which are not directly affected by the radiation source, are then at least indirectly affected by reflected radiation and thereby effectively combating germ brood sites.
the water vapor in the radiation chamber is proposed self-supply (claim 14). This not only circulates Air, but at the same time the water vapor supplied disinfects.
a counter body 1 is preferably a thermally insulated counter tub 2 worn.
the counter tub there is an essentially horizontal goods platform 3 arranged to support goods 4, the goods being schematic is represented by a spatial body.
the one arranged above the goods platform 3 Goods room 5 is shielded by counter glazing 6. This shield serves to protect the goods 3 of the goods room 4 to the customer side 7 of the surrounding area. From the customer side 7, the goods 3 can pass through the counter glazing 6 can be viewed for selection purposes without direct contamination is to be obtained from this side.
the goods room 4 is accessible from the operating side 8.
the opening area 9 can by a also be transparent flap closed. But it is open to many for example, a simple one for the operators located on the operating side 8 and enable faster removal of the goods 3.
This space limitation enables a directed air flow 10 over the goods support area of the goods platform 3.
the air exits via an operator-side supply opening 13 and arrives in the goods room.
the air flow 10 passes over on the customer side 7 a discharge channel 14 in the located below the goods platform 3 Tub room 15.
a feed channel 16 is arranged, which extends from the bottom 17 of the counter tub 2 extends approximately to the underside of a worktop 18 on the operator side.
the feed channel 16 is from the tub space 15 through a boundary wall 19 severed.
the discharge channel 14 is from Tub room 15 delimited.
the essentially vertical boundary wall 19 extends almost to the bottom 17 and to the side walls (not shown) the counter trough 2, so that the air flow is forced, the feed channel 16 to flow through in its entire longitudinal or vertical extent.
An evaporator 23 is arranged in the region of the feed channel. Above the evaporator 23 is a preferably tubular and in the longitudinal direction of the counter extending UV radiation source 25.
the UV radiation source 25 acts on practically the entire feed channel forming an irradiation chamber 26 16.
the one located above the plan level of the goods platform Area of the operator-side boundary wall 24 of the radiation chamber 26 curved towards the goods area and thereby formed in the manner of a groove 27. In this way, a low-loss deflection region 28 is created for the air flow 10.
the UV radiation source is at the bottom, that is to say the bottom 17 the counter tub 2 facing the throat 27 arranged.
the fillet-like area of the boundary wall 24 acts like a headlamp funnel and reflects part of the UV radiation downwards. This retroreflection or reflection effect is increased in that both the boundary wall 24 as well as the other boundary walls of the irradiation room 26 are reflective and e.g. consist of metal or are coated with metal. The reflective effect is even greater if the said surfaces are polished or are mirrored.
a fan 29 is arranged in the deflection area 28 of the radiation chamber 26. which is held by a holding plate 30.
the holding plate 30 is on the boundary wall 24 on the one hand and on the other hand on the lower part of the deflection area 28 stored to the goods space bounding end wall 33.
the latter storage is pivoted so that the holding plate 30 together with the fan 29 in the direction of the double arrow 34 is pivotable.
the fan 29 can therefore be pivoted out of the feed opening 13, making it easy to clean itself and especially its back and the underlying UV radiation source, e.g. for cleaning or easily accessible for repair purposes.
the feed opening 13 is closed by a discharge grille 35 which is pivotable at its lower end is mounted at the upper end of the end wall 33.
the outlet grille 35 is therefore pivotable in the direction of the double arrow 36, so that when open Blow-out grille 35 of the fan 29 is accessible.
the - in Flow direction seen - arranged in front of the evaporator 23 tub space 15 is due to the inventive arrangement of the evaporator and Fan practically free of installation and can therefore be very light, even when used large amounts of liquid can be cleaned. So that this amount of liquid can drain, is at the deepest point of the bottom 17 a drain opening 37 is present, to which a siphon 38 is connected.
the fact that the The tub space is practically free from installation and in particular free from a sensitive one UV radiation source, it can be cleaned thoroughly. For this In the area, therefore, hardly any germs are taken along by the air flow 10 and in the irradiation room 26 as well as in the one not affected by the UV radiation source Areas of the flow channel worn.
a water vapor line 39 opens with a discharge opening 40.
the other The end of the steam line 39 is connected to the steam space of a steam generator 41 connected.
this device it is possible to keep the air flow steady to supply a certain amount of water vapor in order to produce goods, e.g. B. meat products keep moist. Because the discharge opening in the region of the UV radiation source 25 is arranged, the injected into the radiation room Water mist exposed to the UV rays and hygienized.
the UV radiation source is preferably a UV light with a non-ozone-forming one UV-C radiation. It can be designed in the manner of a neon tube, which is extends at least over a partial length of the counter. But there are also several punctiform UV lights conceivable.
