Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verkaufskühlmöbel mit einem Regalaufbau, der Auslageböden aufweist, und mit einem unteren, vor den Regalaufbau vorgezogenen Warenraum, an dessen vorderem, dem Kunden zugewandten Rand eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist.The invention relates to refrigerated display cabinets with a shelf structure which has display shelves, and with a lower goods space which is preferred in front of the shelf structure and on whose front edge facing the customer a lighting device is arranged.
Derartige Möbel, oft auch als Kühlregale bezeichnet, dienen im allgemeinen zur Lagerung und Präsentation von leicht verderblichen Waren, die zum Verkauf angeboten werden. Sie werden beispielsweise in Einzelhandelsbetrieben der Lebensmittelbranche aufgestellt und enthalten häufig Milchprodukte oder andere der Kühlung bedürftigen Erzeugnisse.Such furniture, often referred to as refrigerated shelves, is generally used for the storage and presentation of perishable goods that are offered for sale. For example, they are installed in retail outlets in the food industry and often contain dairy products or other products that require refrigeration.
Die auf den Auslageböden und im unteren Warenraum befindlichen Waren werden fast immer von Leuchtstoffröhren oder Glühlampen beleuchtet, die im Deckenbereich des Möbels untergebracht sind. Eine derartige Anordnung ist beispielsweise aus der DE-A 36 13 610 bekannt. Gemäß dieser Druckschrift kann auch am vorderen Rand des unteren Warenraums eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung vorgesehen sein. Diese Beleuchtungsvorrichtung gemäß dem Stand der Technik kann jedoch lediglich die Beleuchtung des unteren Warenraumes verbessern. Auf den Auslageböden werden lediglich diejenigen Waren zusätzlich beleuchtet, die genau am vorderen Rand eines Auslagebodens abgestellt sind. Weiter hinten befindliche Waren liegen im Schatten des jeweiligen Auslagebodens.The goods on the display shelves and in the lower goods area are almost always illuminated by fluorescent tubes or light bulbs, which are housed in the ceiling area of the furniture. Such an arrangement is known for example from DE-A 36 13 610. According to this document, a lighting device can also be provided on the front edge of the lower goods area. However, this lighting device according to the prior art can only improve the lighting of the lower goods area. On the display shelves, only those goods are illuminated that are placed exactly on the front edge of a display shelf. Goods further back are in the shadow of the respective display floor.
Sobald die erste Reihe von Waren abverkauft ist, ergibt sich keine verbesserte Beleuchtungswirkung gegenüber der üblichen, lediglich im Deckenbereich angeordneten Beleuchtung. Außerdem wird durch die untere Beleuchtungsvorrichtung unerwünscht Wärme in den Warenraum eingetragen.As soon as the first row of goods has been sold, there is no improved lighting effect compared to the usual lighting, which is only arranged in the ceiling area. In addition, heat is undesirably introduced into the goods area by the lower lighting device.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verkaufskühlmöbel der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die dargestellten Nachteile vermieden werden.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a refrigerated display cabinet of the type mentioned in such a way that the disadvantages described are avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird einerseits dadurch gelöst, daß in einen oder mehrere Auslageböden eine lichtdurchlässige Scheibe eingelegt ist, durch welche Licht von der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung in den Raum oberhalb des Auslagebodens fällt.This object is achieved on the one hand in that a translucent pane is inserted into one or more display shelves, through which light falls from the lighting device into the space above the display shelf.
Die lichtdurchlässige Scheibe befindet sich vorzugsweise in der vorderen Hälfte des Auslagebodens. Dazu muß der Auslageboden, üblicherweise aus Metallblech hergestellt, eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, in der eine Platte aus Glas oder aus transparentem Kunststoff Platz findet. Unterhalb der Scheibe dürfen sich keine schattenwerfenden Vorrichtungen befinden.The translucent pane is preferably located in the front half of the display shelf. For this purpose, the display shelf, usually made of sheet metal, must have a recess in which a plate made of glass or transparent plastic can be placed. There should be no shadowing devices under the glass.
Licht von der unten angeordneten Beleuchtungsvorrichtung fällt durch die lichtdurchlässige Scheibe auf die auf dem Auslageboden angeordneten Waren. Hauptsächlich werden diejenigen Waren zusätzlich beleuchtet, welche im Bereich der lichtdurchlässigen Scheibe abgestellt sind. Ein besonderer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verkaufskühlmöbels liegt in der Strahlrichtung, die eine Komponente von unten nach oben aufweist. Damit können auch solche Verpackungen zufriedenstellend beleuchtet werden, die sich nach unten hin konisch verjüngen. Derart verpackte Waren, häufig Milchprodukte, befinden sich in besonders großer Menge auf Auslageböden von Verkaufskühlmöbeln der erfindungsgemäßen Art. Die Erfindung bietet auch dann Vorteile, wenn lediglich bei einem Auslageboden eine einzige lichtdurchlässige Scheibe vorgesehen ist. Vorzugsweise weisen jedoch mehrere oder sogar alle Auslageböden lichtdurchlässige Scheiben auf.Light from the lighting device arranged below falls through the translucent pane onto the goods arranged on the delivery floor. Mainly those goods are additionally illuminated which are parked in the area of the translucent pane. A particular advantage of the refrigerated display cabinet according to the invention lies in the direction of the beam, which has a component from bottom to top. It can also be used to illuminate packaging that tapers conically downwards. Goods packaged in this way, often dairy products, are found in particularly large quantities on display shelves of refrigerated display cabinets of the type according to the invention. The invention also offers advantages if only one translucent pane is provided for one display shelf. However, preferably several or even all of the display shelves have translucent panes.
Eine weiter Lösung der Aufgabe besteht darin, daß die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung auf der Außenseite einer vor dem vorderen Rand des unteren Warenraumes angeordneten transparenten Luftleitwand angeordnet ist.Another solution to the problem is that the lighting device is arranged on the outside of a transparent air baffle arranged in front of the front edge of the lower goods area.
Hierdurch verbessert sich insbesondere die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Verkaufskühlmöbels, indem durch die isolierende Wirkung der transparenten Wand weitestgehend vermieden wird, daß die beim Betrieb der Beleuchtung entstehende Wärme in den zu kühlenden Raum einströmt. Daneben kann durch entsprechende Dimensionierung der Luftleitwand die Möglichkeit geboten werden, daß die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung in größerer Höhe (bis etwa 40 cm) über dem Boden des unteren Warenraumes angeordnet werden kann, als es bei Verkaufskühlmöbeln gemäß dem Stand der Technik der Fall ist. Dadurch kann die Beleuchtung des unteren Teils des Regalaufbaus deutlicht verbessert werden.This improves, in particular, the economy of the refrigerated display cabinet, since the insulating effect of the transparent wall largely prevents the heat generated during operation of the lighting from flowing into the room to be cooled. In addition, by appropriate dimensioning of the air baffle, the possibility can be offered that the lighting device can be arranged at a greater height (up to about 40 cm) above the floor of the lower merchandise space than is the case with refrigerated display cabinets according to the prior art. This can significantly improve the lighting of the lower part of the shelf structure.
Bei der Luftleitwand kann es sich um jede Art von fester oder beweglicher Vorderwand vor dem unteren Warenraum handeln. Sie muß mindestens teilweise lichtdurchlässig sein.The air baffle can be any type of fixed or movable front wall in front of the lower goods area. It must be at least partially translucent.
Eine solche Luftleitwand wirkt außer als Abdeckung für die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung zusätzlich als Luftleitvorrichtung für kalte Luft, die auf der Vorderseite des Regalaufbaus nach unten fällt und im vorderen Bereich des unteren Warenraumes abgezogen wird. Die Wirkung einer derartigen Luftleitvorrichtung und verschiedene Ausführungsvarianten sind in der deutschen Patentanmeldung P 40 03 910.2 (internes Aktenzeichen K 90/11) und in der europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 91 ... ... (internes Aktenzeichen K 90/11-EP, gleichzeitig mit der vorliegenden Anmeldung eingereicht) ausführlich erläutert.In addition to acting as a cover for the lighting device, such an air baffle also acts as an air baffle for cold air, which falls down on the front of the shelf structure and is pulled off in the front area of the lower goods area. The effect of such an air guiding device and various design variants are described in German patent application P 40 03 910.2 (internal file number K 90/11) and in European patent application EP 91 ... ... (internal file number K 90/11-EP) submitted the present application) explained in detail.
Besonders günstig ist es, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sowohl in einen oder mehrere Auslageböden eine lichtdurchlässige Scheibe eingelegt ist, durch welche Licht von der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung in den Raum oberhalb des Auslagebodens fällt, als auch die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung auf der Außenseite einer vor dem vorderen Rand des unteren Warenraumes angeordneten transparenten Luftleitwand angeordnet ist. Dadurch werden sämtliche oben erwähnten Vorteile gemeinsam erzielt.It is particularly expedient if, according to a development of the invention, a translucent pane is inserted into one or more display shelves, through which light from the lighting device falls into the space above the display shelf, and the lighting device on the outside of one in front of the front edge of the lower goods room arranged transparent air baffle is arranged. As a result, all the advantages mentioned above are achieved together.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung kann sich die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung in einem Gehäuse befinden, welches um eine horizontale Achse geschwenkt werden kann. Die nach innen, zum unteren Warenraum und zum Regalaufbau, weisende Seite des Gehäuses muß selbstverständlich lichtdurchlässig sein.According to a further aspect of the invention, the lighting device can be located in a housing which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis. The side of the housing facing inwards, towards the lower goods area and the shelf structure must of course be translucent.
In einer abweichenden Variante kann die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung innerhalb einer auf der Außenseite der Luftleitwand angeordneten Stoßleiste angeordnet sein. Eine derartige Stoßleiste hat beispielsweise einen etwa U-förmigen Querschnitt, der die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung umfaßt und als deren Verkleidung dient.In a different variant, the lighting device can be arranged within a bumper strip arranged on the outside of the air guide wall. Such a bumper strip has, for example, an approximately U-shaped cross section, which encompasses the lighting device and serves as its covering.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Luftleitwand als lichtdurchlässige innere Wand in das weiter oben erwähnte schwenkbare Gehäuse integriert ist.It is also advantageous if the air guide wall is integrated as a translucent inner wall in the pivotable housing mentioned above.

Das Verkaufskühlmöbel nach Figur 1 weist einen Regalaufbau mit Auslageböden 1, 2 und einen darunter liegenden unteren Warenraum 3 auf. Von oben her werden die Auslageböden 1, 2 des Regalaufbaus und der untere Warenraum 3 durch eine oder mehrere Leuchtstoffröhren 4 beleuchtet. Eine weitere Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 5 befindet sich am vorderen Rand des unteren Warenraumes 3. Sie ist noch vor den Lufteintritt 6 vorgesetzt, durch welchen Luft vom Kühlluftschleier 11 in den Kanal 12 einströmt. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 5 erstreckt sich vorzugsweise längs der gesamten Ausdehnung des Verkaufskühlmöbels senkrecht zur Zeichenebene der Figur und weist beispielsweise Leuchtstoffröhren 8 auf.The refrigerated display cabinet according to FIG. 1 has a shelf structure with
Erfindungsgemäß weisen die Auslageböden 1 der drei unteren Ebenen Glaseinlagen 7 als lichtdurchlässige Scheiben auf. Durch diese kann Licht von der oder den Leuchtstoffröhren 8 auch auf die zweite Reihe von Waren 9 fallen, welche auf den Auslageböden 1 abgestellt sind. Die Strahlrichtung des Lichtes wird durch Linien 10 verdeutlicht.According to the invention, the display shelves 1 of the three lower levels have glass inserts 7 as translucent panes. Through this, light from the fluorescent tube or

Als Blend- und Stoßschutz wird sie zum Kunden hin durch eine gewöhnliche Stoßleiste 15 mit u-förmigem Profil abgedeckt. Die Stoßleiste erfüllt bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verkaufskühlmöbel daher zwei Funktionen, nämlich den Schutz des vorderen Rand des Möbels gegen Stöße durch Einkaufswagen und außerdem die Abdeckung der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 5. Die Innenseite der Stoßleiste 15 kann reflektierend ausgebildet sein, um die Lichtausbeute zu erhöhen. Wie durch den Pfeil l6 angedeutet ist, kann die Stoßleiste 15 vorzugsweise um eine entlang ihres unteren Randes verlaufende horizontale Achse geschwenkt werden.In this variant, the
