Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlmöbel mit einem wannenförmigen Möbelkorpus sowie mit einem oberhalb des Möbelkorpus befindlichen und mit diesem verbundenen Aufsatz, der eine an Stützen befestigte Warenpräsentationsfläche aufweist.The invention relates to a refrigerated cabinet with a trough-shaped furniture body and with an attachment located above the furniture body and connected to it, which has a merchandise display surface attached to supports.

Derartige Kühlmöbel, insbesondere Kühltruhen, Tiefkühltruhen oder Tiefkühlinseln dienen zur Aufbewahrung und Präsentation von Lebensmitteln in Verbrauchergroßmärkten und Einzelhandelsgeschäften. Sie weisen einen wärmeisolierten Möbelkorpus auf, der einen nach oben offenen gekühlten Warenraum enthält. Als Stellmöglichkeit für ein zusätzliches Warenangebot besitzen diese Kühlmöbel einen unge kühlten Aufsatz, der mit dem Möbelkorpus verbundene Stützen besitzt, die über den oberen Rand des Möbelkorpus hinaus nach oben ragen. An diesen Stützen ist eine Warenpräsentationsfläche befestigt, auf der das zusätzliche Warenangebot ausgestellt werden kann.Refrigeration cabinets of this type, in particular freezers, freezers or freezer islands, are used for the storage and presentation of food in hypermarkets and retail stores. They have a thermally insulated furniture body that contains a refrigerated goods room that is open at the top. As storage for an additional W possess these refrigeration cabinets arena commanded unge a supercooled top, the supports connected to the furniture body has, projecting above the upper edge of the furniture body addition upwards. A goods display area is attached to these supports, on which the additional range of goods can be displayed.

Es ist bekannt, daß ein offenes Kühlmöbel relativ viel Kühlenergie braucht. Außerdem läßt es sich nicht vermeiden, daß sich Luftfeuchtigkeit aus der Umgebung als Reif oder Kondenswasser in dem gekühlten Warenraum, insbesondere am Verdampfer sowie auf der gekühlten Ware niederschlägt. Aus diesem Grund wird der Warenraum während der Nichtverkaufszeiten, d.h. insbesondere nachts sowie an Sonn- und Feiertagen, abgedeckt. Die Abdeckung erfolgt dabei entweder mit Platten, die auf den Warenraum gelegt werden oder mit einem Rollo, das mit einer Aufwickelvorrichtung am Kühlmöbel befestigt ist.It is known that an open refrigerator needs a relatively large amount of cooling energy. In addition, it cannot be avoided that atmospheric moisture from the environment ripens or condensation in the refrigerated goods room, especially on the evaporator and on the refrigerated goods. For this reason, the goods area is covered during non-sales times, in particular at night and on Sundays and public holidays. The cover is made either with plates that are placed on the goods room or with a roller blind that is attached to the refrigerator with a winder.

Beide Anordnungen sind jedoch mit Nachteilen behaftet: Die Abdeckung muß während der Verkaufszeiten von dem Kühlmöbel entfernt werden, was bei den üblichen Abmessungen der Kühlmöbel mit Platzproblemen verbunden ist, da Platten von mehreren Quadratmetern Größe unterzubringen sind. Das am Kühlmöbel befestigte Rollo kann zwar ohne Platzprobleme im Kühlmöbel verstaut werden, jedoch bleiben am Kühlmöbel die seitlichen Führungen für das Rollo, die unerläßlich sind, um ein Durchhängen des Rollos zu vermeiden, auch im aufgerollten Zustand sichtbar. Störende Einbauten vermindern aber den Umsatz und verschlechtern die Reinigbarkeit des Kühlmöbels.Both arrangements, however, have disadvantages: the cover must be removed from the refrigerator during sales, which is associated with space problems in the usual dimensions of the refrigerator, since plates of several square meters in size have to be accommodated. The roller blind attached to the refrigerator can be stowed in the refrigerator without space problems, but the side guides for the roller blind, which are essential to avoid sagging of the roller blind, remain visible on the refrigerator even when rolled up. Disruptive internals reduce sales and impair the cleanability of the refrigerator.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kühlmöbel der eingangs genannten Art zu entwickeln, bei dem sich der Warenraum während der Nichtverkaufszeiten problemlos abdecken läßt, das keine störenden Einbauten aufweist und dessen Platzbedarf gering ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a refrigerator of the type mentioned in which the goods space can be covered without problems during the non-sales period, which has no disturbing fittings and whose space requirement is small.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Warenpräsentationsfläche bis an den Rand des Möbelkorpus absenkbar ist.This object is achieved in that the goods display area can be lowered to the edge of the furniture body.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kühlmöbel weist eine Warenpräsentationsfläche auf, die in der Höhe bis auf das Niveau des oberen Randes des Möbelkorpus verstellbar ist. Die Warenpräsentationsfläche dient damit in der abgesenkten Position während der Nichtverkaufszeiten als Abdeckung für den Warenraum. Die Warenpräsentationsfläche deckt den Warenraum ganz oder zum Teil ab. Ein Abräumen der Warenpräsentationsfläche ist für das Absenken nicht erforderlich.The refrigerated cabinet according to the invention has a goods display area which is adjustable in height up to the level of the upper edge of the cabinet. The product display area thus serves in the lowered Position during non-sales hours as a cover for the goods area. The goods presentation area covers all or part of the goods area. It is not necessary to clear the goods presentation area for lowering.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand ermöglicht es, das Kühlmöbel abzudecken, ohne daß hierfür störende Einbauten erforderlich sind. Die erfindungsgemäße Abdeckung benötigt keinen zusätzlichen Platzbedarf.The subject matter of the invention makes it possible to cover the refrigerated cabinet without the need for disruptive installations. The cover according to the invention does not require any additional space.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Kühlmöbel können die Stützen, an denen die Warenpräsentationsfläche befestigt ist, in den Möbelkorpus absenkbar sein. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist statt dessen die Warenpräsentationsfläche in vertikalen Führungen in den Stützen geführt. Die Warenpräsentationsfläche kann entlang der Führungen abgesenkt werden. Die Führung ist vorzugsweise als Längsschlitz in den Stützen ausgebildet.In the case of the refrigerated cabinet according to the invention, the supports on which the product presentation surface is fastened can be lowered into the cabinet. According to a preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, the goods display area is instead guided in vertical guides in the supports. The merchandise display area can be lowered along the guides. The guide is preferably designed as a longitudinal slot in the supports.

Bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist die Warenpräsentationsfläche mit einer Wärmeisolierung ausgestattet und/oder aus einem schlecht wärmeleitenden Material gefertigt. Als wärmeisolierendes Material wird insbesondere Kunststoff verwendet. Mit Hilfe dieser Maßnahme werden, wenn die Warenpräsentationsfläche als Abdeckung verwendet wird, die Kälteyerluste verringert und zugleich die Bildung von Kondenswasser auf der Warenpräsentationsfläche und Reifbildung am Verdampfer verhindert.In a preferred development of the subject matter of the invention, the goods display area is equipped with thermal insulation and / or made from a poorly heat-conducting material. Plastic is used in particular as the heat-insulating material. With the help of this measure, if the product display area is used as a cover, the cold yeast losses are reduced and at the same time the formation of condensation on the product display area and frost formation on the evaporator are prevented.

Es erweist sich als vorteilhaft, wenn in Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes an der Warenpräsentationsfläche mindestens ein Rollo oder eine ausziehbare oder schwenkbare Abdeckung befestigt ist.It has proven to be advantageous if, in a further development of the subject matter of the invention, at least one roller blind or one pull-out or pivotable cover is attached to the goods presentation surface.

Sofern die Warenpräsentationsfläche kleiner als die abzudeckende öffnung des Warenraums ist, bleibt eine nicht abgedeckte Öffnung des Warenraums bestehen, auch wenn die Warenpräsentationsfläche abgesenkt ist. Um den Warenraum vollständig abzudecken, sind, vorzugsweise an der Unterseite der Warenpräsentationsfläche, herausklappbare oder herausziehbare Abdeckungen oder Rollos vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe der Zwischenraum zwischen dem Rand der Warenpräsentationsfläche und dem Rand des den Warenraum begrenzenden Möbelkorpus abgedeckt werden. Da der abzudeckende Zwischenraum wesentlich kleiner als die Oberfläche des gesamten abzudeckenden Warenraums ist, sind die Abdeckungen bzw. Rollos, die hierfür erforderlich sind, relativ klein und können bei Nichtbenutzung problemlos untergebracht werden. Vorzugsweise werden die Abdeckungen bei Nichtbenutzung unter die Warenpräsentationsfläche eingeschoben oder eingeklappt bzw. das oder die Rollos auf eine an der Unterseite der Warenpräsentationsfläche befindliche Aufwickelvorrichtung aufgerollt. Führungen für die Rollos können entfallen, da wegen des relativ kleinen zu überbrückenden Abstandes die Gefahr des Durchhängens der Rollos nicht gegeben ist.Provided the goods presentation area is smaller than that is covering opening of the goods room, an uncovered opening of the goods room remains, even if the goods presentation area is lowered. In order to completely cover the goods space, fold-out or pull-out covers or roller blinds are provided, preferably on the underside of the goods display area, with the aid of which the space between the edge of the goods display area and the edge of the furniture body delimiting the goods space is covered. Since the space to be covered is considerably smaller than the surface of the entire goods space to be covered, the covers or blinds that are required for this are relatively small and can be accommodated without problems when not in use. When not in use, the covers are preferably pushed in or folded under the goods presentation area or the roller blind or blinds are rolled up onto a winding device located on the underside of the goods presentation area. Guides for the roller blinds can be omitted, because there is no risk of sagging of the roller blinds due to the relatively small distance to be bridged.

Es erweist sich jedoch als vorteilhaft, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes das Rollo auf einer Faltschere aufliegt. Die Faltschere wird zusammen mit dem Rollo herausgezogen und schafft eine stabile Auflagefläche für das Rollo. Sie wird zusammen mit dem Rollo eingeschoben und bleibt daher während der Verkaufszeit unsichtbar.However, it proves to be advantageous if, according to a further development of the subject matter of the invention, the roller blind rests on folding scissors. The folding scissors are pulled out together with the roller blind and create a stable contact surface for the roller blind. It is pushed in together with the roller blind and therefore remains invisible during the sales period.

Bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes weist das Rollo bzw. die Abdeckung eine Wärmeisolierung auf oder ist aus einem schlecht wärmeleitenden Material gefertigt.In a preferred development of the subject matter of the invention, the roller blind or cover has thermal insulation or is made from a poorly heat-conducting material.

Die Erfindung sowie weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anhand von schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention and further details of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to schematically illustrated exemplary embodiments.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Tiefkühlinsel gemäß der Erfindung mit einem wannenförmigen wärmeisolierten Möbelkorpus, der einen gekühlten Warenraum 2. An den Stirnseiten des Möbelkorpus ist jeweils eine nach oben ragende Stütze 3 befestigt, von denen in der Figur nur eine zu erkennen ist. An den Stützen 3 ist eine Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 befestigt, die zweierlei Positionen dargestellt ist. In der oberen, gestrichelt dargestellten Position dient der aus den Stützen 3 und der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 zusammengesetzte Aufsatz als zusätzliche ungekühlte Stellfläche für Waren neben dem Warenraum 2. In der unteren, durchgehend gezeichneten Position dient die Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 zusätzlich als Abdeckung für den Warenraum 2.FIG. 1 shows a deep-freeze island according to the invention with a trough-shaped, thermally insulated furniture body, which has a cooled goods space 2. An upwardly projecting support 3 is fastened to the end faces of the furniture body, only one of which can be seen in the figure. A goods display surface 4 is attached to the supports 3 and is shown in two positions. In the upper position shown in dashed lines, the attachment composed of the supports 3 and the goods display area 4 serves as an additional uncooled storage space for goods next to the goods room 2. In the lower, continuously drawn position, the goods display area 4 additionally serves as a cover for the goods room 2.

Um die Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 leicht von der einen in die andere Position bringen zu können, weisen die Stützen 3 vertikale Führungen auf, entlang derer die Warenpräsentationsfläche verschoben werden kann. Die Führungen umfassen einen vertikalen Schlitz 5 in jeder Stütze .3 sowie umgebördelte Seitenränder 6 der Stütze 3, die einen Vorsprung 7 der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 umschließen. Die Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 ist mittels einer Feststellschraube 8, die durch den Schlitz 5 hindurch mit dem Vorsprung 7 verschraubt ist, an der Stütze 3 festgeklemmt. Durch Lösen der Feststellschraube 8 läßt sich die Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 entlang der Führung verschieben. Die Verstellung der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 kann ebenso mittels eines Motors und einer Zahnstange erfolgen.In order to be able to move the product presentation area 4 easily from one position to the other, the supports 3 have vertical guides along which the product presentation area can be moved. The lead stanchions include a vertical slot 5 in each support .3 and flanged side edges 6 of the support 3, which enclose a projection 7 of the goods display area 4. The product display area 4 is clamped to the support 3 by means of a locking screw 8 which is screwed through the slot 5 to the projection 7. By loosening the locking screw 8, the product display area 4 can be moved along the guide. The adjustment of the goods display area 4 can also be done by means of a motor and a rack.

Die Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 wird, insbesondere während der Nichtverkaufszeiten, in die untere Position gebracht, um die Kälteverluste im Warenraum zwar so gering wie möglich zu halten. Es ist nicht erforderlich, die Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 für das Verändern der Position abzuräumen. Je nach Größe der Warenpräsentationsfläche deckt diese den Warenraum vollständig oder - wie in Figur 1 - nur zum Teil ab. An der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 sind Abdeckungen 9 befestigt, die, wie durch Pfeile 10 angedeutet, herausklappbar sind und in der unteren Position der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 zusammen mit dieser den gesamten Warenraum abdecken.The goods display area 4 is brought into the lower position, in particular during the non-sales times, in order to keep the cold losses in the goods space as low as possible. It is not necessary to clear the goods display area 4 for changing the position. Depending on the size of the goods presentation area, it covers the goods area completely or - as in Figure 1 - only partially. Covers 9 are fastened to the goods display area 4, which, as indicated by arrows 10, can be folded out and, in the lower position of the goods display area 4, cover the entire goods area together with the same.

Anstelle der in Figur 1 gezeigten herausklappbaren Abdeckung 9 ist bei der in Figur 3 gezeigten Ausführungsform an der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 ein herausziehbares Rollo 11 befestigt. An der Unterseite des Rollos kann, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt ist, eine Faltschere 12 angeordnet sein, die einerseits an der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 und andererseits an der Vorderkante des Rollos 11 geführt ist und die zusammen mit diesem herausziehbar und einschiebbar ist. Die Faltschere verhindert ein Durchängen des Rollos. Das Rollo 11 sowie die Faltschere können ebenso durch einen Motor betätigt werden.Instead of the fold-out cover 9 shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a pull-out roller blind 11 is attached to the goods display surface 4. On the underside of the roller blind, as shown in FIG. 2, folding scissors 12 can be arranged, which are guided on the one hand on the product presentation surface 4 and on the other hand on the front edge of the roller blind 11 and which can be pulled out and pushed in together with the latter. The folding scissors prevent the blind from sagging. The roller blind 11 and the folding scissors can also be operated by a motor.

Bei der in Figur 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist eine Abdeckung 9 vorgesehen, die entlang seitlichen Führungen 13 herausziehbar an der Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 angeordnet ist.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a cover 9 is provided, which is arranged on the goods presentation surface 4 such that it can be pulled out along lateral guides 13.

Die Abdeckungen 9 sowie das Rollo 11 sind aus einem wärmeisolierenden Material gefertigt oder mit einem derartigen Material beschichtet.The covers 9 and the roller blind 11 are made of a heat-insulating material or coated with such a material.

Ist die Warenpräsentationsfläche 4 kleiner als die öffnung des Warenraums 2, so besteht die Möglichkeit, den Warenraum bei Bedarf auch während der Verkaufszeiten teilweise abzudecken, wobei die zwar nach wie vor Ware aus dem Kühlmöbel entnommen werden kann, jedoch der Energieverbrauch deutlich zurückgeht.If the goods presentation area 4 is smaller than the opening of the goods room 2, it is possible to partially cover the goods room, if necessary, even during sales times, although the goods can still be removed from the refrigerator, but the energy consumption drops significantly.
