Description
La présente invention concerne un meuble-bac horizontal de vente pour produits surgelés ou réfrigérés.The present invention relates to a horizontal bin cabinet of sale for frozen or refrigerated products.
Un meuble-bac horizontal comporte généralement un châssis dont le bord périphérique supérieur définit une ouverture dirigée vers le haut, afin de permettre au consommateur d'accéder aux denrées exposées dans les différents compartiments du bac.A horizontal bin cabinet usually has a frame the upper peripheral edge of which defines an opening directed upward, to allow the consumer to access the food exposed in the various bin compartments.
Dès lors, des échanges thermiques radiatifs et convectifs se produisent par cette ouverture entre les denrées alimentaires exposées et l'environnement extérieur, ce qui se traduit par une consommation importante d'énergie pour maintenir dans le bac un niveau de température acceptable pour garantir la conservation des denrées.From then on, radiative and convective heat exchanges occur through this opening between commodities exposed food and the external environment, which results in significant energy consumption to maintain a temperature level in the tank acceptable to guarantee the preservation of food.
En revanche, en dehors des heures de vente, et notamment la nuit, il n'est plus nécessaire de maintenir les meubles ouverts. A cet effet, divers systèmes ont été développés pour obturer l'ouverture du meuble et créer ainsi une atmosphère confinée dans le meuble qui ne soit pas soumise à l'influence des perturbations extérieures, telles que les échanges radiatifs et convectifs avec l'environnement extérieur.On the other hand, outside of sales hours, and in particular at night, it is no longer necessary to maintain the open furniture. For this purpose, various systems have been developed to close the opening of the furniture and create thus an atmosphere confined in the furniture which is not not subject to the influence of external disturbances, such as radiative and convective exchanges with the external environment.
La solution la plus simple consiste à recouvrir l'ouverture supérieure du meuble d'un couvercle. Toutefois, cette solution pose des problèmes de stockage des couvercles et nécessite des opérations de manutention. The simplest solution is to cover the upper opening of the cabinet with a cover. However, this solution poses storage problems covers and requires handling.
Des systèmes de fermeture automatisés ont également été proposés, par exemple un système à auvent muni de bras articulés horizontaux en pantographe pour déployer horizontalement un écran entre deux bords supérieurs opposés du meuble, ou bien encore un rideau guidé par des rails horizontaux pour recouvrir la face supérieure du meuble. Toutefois, de tels systèmes présentent un encombrement important qui complique la structure même du meuble ainsi que l'accessibilité aux denrées rangées dans celui-ci. Ces systèmes sont également soumis à des pannes fréquentes du fait du coincement de corps étrangers, tels que des étiquettes ou des feuilles de papier qui traínent souvent dans les meubles, dans leur dispositif de commande.Automated locking systems have also been offered, for example an awning system with arms horizontal articulated pantograph to deploy horizontally a screen between two upper edges furniture, or even a curtain guided by horizontal rails to cover the upper side of the furniture. However, such systems have a significant bulk which complicates the very structure of the furniture as well as accessibility to the food stored in this one. These systems are also subject to breakdowns frequent due to the trapping of foreign bodies, such as only labels or sheets of paper lying around often in furniture, in their device ordered.
Un meuble-bac horizontal présentant les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du document DE-A-4 202 662.A horizontal bin with the characteristics of the preamble of claim 1 is known from document DE-A-4 202 662.
La présente invention a donc pour but d'éliminer les inconvénients précités et de proposer un meuble-bac horizontal de vente à rideaux de nuit qui puisse être facilement automatisé, sans augmenter le poids ou compliquer la structure du meuble, tout en minimisant les risques de panne.The present invention therefore aims to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a bin cabinet horizontal curtain sale which can be easily automated, without increasing the weight or complicate the structure of the furniture, while minimizing the risk of breakdown.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un meuble-bac horizontal de vente pour produits surgelés ou réfrigérés, comportant un châssis dont le bord périphérique supérieur définit une ouverture orientée vers le haut, et au moins un écran de nuit mobile destiné à créer une atmosphère confinée dans le meuble lors de sa fermeture, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une superstructure formant un toit au-dessus de la face supérieure ouverte du châssis, sur laquelle superstructure est agencée une succession périphérique d'écrans de nuit verticaux de façon que lors de la fermeture, les écrans s'étendent entre la superstructure et le bord périphérique supérieur du châssis sur tout le pourtour de ce dernier.To this end, the invention relates to a bin cabinet horizontal sales for frozen or refrigerated products, comprising a frame, the upper peripheral edge of which defines an opening facing upwards, and at least a mobile night screen intended to create an atmosphere confined in the cabinet when it is closed, characterized in that it comprises a superstructure forming a roof above the open upper face of the chassis, on which superstructure is arranged in succession device of vertical night screens so that when from closing, the screens extend between the superstructure and the upper peripheral edge of the chassis all around the latter.
Avantageusement, la superstructure peut être suspendue à un plafond pour permettre le remplacement aisé du meuble indépendamment de sa superstructure, en vue par exemple d'un entretien ou d'une réparation.Advantageously, the superstructure can be suspended from a ceiling to allow easy replacement of the furniture regardless of its superstructure, for example maintenance or repair.
Toutefois, en variante, la superstructure peut être supportée par le châssis du meuble, par exemple par l'intermédiaire de poteaux s'étendant entre la superstructure et des cloisons centrales du meuble. La superstructure est de préférence à montage amovible sur le meuble.Alternatively, however, the superstructure can be supported by the chassis of the cabinet, for example by through posts extending between the superstructure and central partitions of the cabinet. The superstructure is preferably removably mounted on a piece of furniture.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la face interne des écrans est en matériau très faiblement émissif dans la plage des rayonnements infrarouges pour réduire les échanges thermiques radiatifs entre la surface des denrées exposées dans le meuble et l'environnement extérieur. En particulier, si la surface inférieure de la superstructure est dans ce matériau très faiblement émissif, les échanges thermiques radiatifs pourront également être limités lorsque les écrans sont en position relevée ouverte.According to another characteristic of the invention, the face internal of the screens is made of very weak material emissive in the infrared radiation range for reduce the radiative heat exchanges between the surface of the food exposed in the cabinet and the external environment. In particular, if the surface lower part of the superstructure is in this material very low emissivity, radiative heat exchanges may also be limited when the screens are in the raised open position.
On peur également équiper la superstructure d'écran supplémentaire pour former des cloisons intermédiaires de séparation entre divers compartiments du meuble. We are also afraid to equip the screen superstructure additional to form intermediate partitions of separation between various compartments of the cabinet.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les écrans sont des stores déployables, par exemple par commande électrique, par exemple à partir d'un enrouleur fixé à la superstructure.In a particular embodiment, the screens are deployable blinds, for example by order electric, for example from a reel attached to the superstructure.
L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, détails, avantages et caractéristiques de celle-ci apparaítront plus clairement au cours de la description explicative qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation particulier actuellement préféré, donné uniquement à titre illustratif et non limitatif, en référence à la figure unique du dessin annexé, dans laquelle un meuble conforme à l'invention est représenté schématiquement en perspective.The invention will be better understood, and other aims, details, advantages and characteristics of it will appear more clearly during the description explanatory which will follow of an embodiment currently preferred individual, given only to Illustrative and non-limiting title, with reference to the single figure of the accompanying drawing, in which a piece of furniture according to the invention is shown schematically in perspective.
Selon l'exemple particulier de réalisation représenté sur
cette figure, un meuble conforme à l'invention comporte
un bac horizontal 1 dont le bord supérieur 2 de son
châssis définit une ouverture ouverte vers le haut. Des
cloisons internes 3 sont prévues dans le bac 1 pour
définir plusieurs compartiments de rangement des denrées.According to the particular embodiment shown on
this figure, a piece of furniture according to the invention comprises
a horizontal tank 1 whose
A la verticale et à distance du bac 1 est prévue une
superstructure 4 formant un toit dont les dimensions
externes correspondent sensiblement à celles du bac sous-jacent
1. Ce toit 4 est suspendu à un plafond (non
représenté) par exemple d'un supermarché par des montants
5.Vertical and remote from tray 1 is provided a
superstructure 4 forming a roof whose dimensions
external correspond substantially to those of the underlying tank
1. This roof 4 is suspended from a ceiling (not
shown) for example from a supermarket by
Une succession périphérique d'écrans, de rideaux ou de
stores verticaux 6 est agencée à la périphérie de la
superstructure 4. Ces stores 6 sont agencés à la
verticale du bord supérieur 2 du bac 1 et s'étendent sur
tout son pourtour pour définir un espace confiné entre le
bac 1 et la superstructure 4 lorsque les stores 6 sont
déplacés en position basse en contact avec le rebord
périphérique 2 du châssis. Bien entendu, les stores, les
écrans ou les rideaux verticaux 6 peuvent être de tous
types adaptés. On pourra noter que grâce à cet
agencement, la structure même du bac 1 n'est pas modifiée
et tout risque de coincement de corps étrangers dans le
dispositif de commande (non représenté) des stores est
ainsi évité.A peripheral succession of screens, curtains or
Avantageusement, la face interne des stores 6 peut être
en matériau faiblement émissif pour réduire les échanges
thermiques radiatifs entre la surface des produits
exposés dans le bac et l'environnement externe. La
surface de la superstructure 4 en regard de l'ouverture
du bac peut également être revêtue de ce matériau dans
le même but.Advantageously, the internal face of the
En outre, on peut prévoir, comme représenté sur la
figure, une superstructure 4 présentant une ou plusieurs
parties saillantes 4a s'étendant à partir de sa
périphérie au-delà du pourtour extérieur du bac 1 pour
servir notamment de support pour des éclairages 7 et/ou
un affichage 8. Cette portion saillante peut également
comporter une surface inférieure faiblement émissive pour
contribuer à réduire les échanges radiatifs lorsque les
stores 6 sont en position relevée pendant les périodes
d'ouverture à la vente. In addition, one can provide, as shown in the
figure, a superstructure 4 having one or
Les stores 6 peuvent être commandés entre leur position
haute relevée d'ouverture et leur position basse de
fermeture par un moteur électrique ou tout autre
dispositif d'enroulement ou autre adapté.
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec un mode de réalisation particulier, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention telle que revendiquée.Although the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it is quite obvious that it is in no way limited to it and that it understands all technical equivalents of the means described thus that their combinations if these fall within the framework of the invention as claimed.
