Abstract

The solar cells (a-d) are wrapped around the wine cooler container and energize a thermoelectric cell mounted with the cold side on the base and the heated side on a finned heat sink cooled by a fan.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Weinkühler sind normalerweise doppelwandige Behälter, die aus Plexiglas, Metall oder Ton mit oder ohne Kühlakkumulatoren bestehen.Wine coolers are usually double-walled Container, those made of plexiglass, metal or clay with or without cold accumulators consist.

Problemproblem

Der in Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, dass Behälter aus Plexiglas sich nur im Wohnraum zur Kühlung eignen, da sie lichtdurchlässig sind und die Strahlung der Sonne somit den Wein erwärmen würde. Generell ist die Benutzung von auch nicht lichtdurchlässigen Weinkühlern im Freien eingeschränkt, da sie sich dort schneller erwärmen und damit keine konstante Temperatur des Weines gewährleistet werden kann.The specified in claim 1 protection Invention is based on the problem that plexiglass containers only in the living room for cooling are suitable because they are translucent and the sun's radiation would warm the wine. As a general rule is the use of non-translucent wine coolers in the Restricted outdoors, because they warm up faster there and thus no constant temperature of the wine is guaranteed can be.

Dieses Problem wird mit den im Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is with the protection claim 1 listed Features resolved.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht , dass der Behälter des Weinkühlers weiterhin aus preiswertem Plexiglas gefertigt werden kann. Die um den Kühler angeordneten Solarelemente schützen den Wein vor intensivem Sonnenlicht und erzeugen die für die Kühlung notwendigen Strom und die notwendige Spannung. Damit ist eine völlige Unabhängigkeit der Anwendung des Weinkühlers erreicht.With the invention it is achieved that the container of the wine cooler can still be made from inexpensive plexiglass. The um arranged the cooler Protect solar elements the wine from intense sunlight and produce the necessary for cooling Current and the necessary voltage. This is complete independence using the wine cooler reached.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 2 angegeben.Another advantageous embodiment the invention is specified in the protection claim 2.

Die Weiterbildung nach Schutzanspruch 2 für die Anwendung des Weinkühlers ermöglicht die sachgerecht Kühlung von Rotweinen, die auf einem anderen Temperaturniveau gehalten werden müssen.Continuing education according to protection claims 2 for the Application of the wine cooler allows proper cooling of red wines that are kept at a different temperature level have to.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 3 angegeben.Another advantageous embodiment the invention is specified in the protection claim 3.

Die Weiterbildung nach Schutzanspruch 3 für die Anwendung des Weinkühlers ermöglicht die Warmhaltung von Getränken.Continuing education according to protection claims 3 for the Application of the wine cooler allows keeping drinks warm.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird an Hand der 1 bis 4 erläutert. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention is based on the 1 to 4 explained. Show it:

1 die Anordnung der Solarelemente 1 the arrangement of the solar elements

2 das Peltierelement, das je nach Polarisierung eine Seite kalt, die andere Seite warm werden lässt 2 the Peltier element, which, depending on the polarization, makes one side cold and the other side warm

3 die Anordnung der Kühlkörper und des Peltierelements 3 the arrangement of the heat sink and the Peltier element

4 den Weinkühler mit der Anordnung aller Elemente aus 1–3. 4 the wine cooler with the arrangement of all elements 1 - 3 ,

Der Idealerweise vorgekühlte Wein wird in den Kühler gestellt und steht somit auf dem Kühlkörper (3) Damit wird eine direkte Kühlung durch das Glas ermöglicht. Andererseits kühlt der Kühlkörper die Luft, die sich im Weinkühler befindet. Damit wird eine konvektive Kühlung des Weins über die im Innenraum befindliche Luft erreicht. Die entstehende Wärme wird über den am Boden befindlichen Kühlkörper (1) an die Aussenluft möglicherweise mit Hilfe eines kleinen Gebläses (6) abgegeben. Die normalerweise auftretenden Wärmverluste im Kühler werden eliminiert. Der Wein hält seine Temperatur über lange Zeiten konstant.The ideally pre-cooled wine is placed in the cooler and thus stands on the heat sink ( 3 ) This enables direct cooling through the glass. On the other hand, the heat sink cools the air in the wine cooler. In this way, convective cooling of the wine is achieved via the air in the interior. The heat generated is transferred to the heat sink located on the floor ( 1 ) to the outside air possibly with the help of a small fan ( 6 ) submitted. The heat losses that normally occur in the cooler are eliminated. The wine keeps its temperature constant over long periods.
