Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un meuble frigorifique horizontal pour produits surgelés ou réfrigérés et en particulier, un meuble frigorifique comportant un dispositif de fermeture tel que des écrans transparents coulissants.The invention relates to a refrigeration unit. horizontal for frozen or refrigerated products and particular, a refrigeration unit comprising a closing device such as screens sliding transparencies.
Un meuble frigorifique horizontal comporte classiquement un châssis formant bac et qui est destiné à recevoir des produits surgelés ou réfrigérés. Le bord périphérique supérieur de ce châssis définit une ouverture tournée vers le haut, afin de permettre aux consommateurs d'accéder aux produits exposés dans les différents compartiments du meuble.A horizontal refrigeration unit has conventionally a chassis forming a tank and which is intended to receive frozen products or refrigerated. The upper peripheral edge of this chassis defines an opening facing upwards, to allow consumers to access products exhibited in the various compartments of the furniture.
Pour assurer la conservation de ces produits surgelés ou réfrigérés, est généré un courant ou rideau d'air froid qui circule le long des parois latérales internes du châssis, au-dessous et au-dessus des produits.To ensure the preservation of these frozen products or refrigerated, a current or air curtain is generated cold flowing along the side walls internal of the chassis, below and above the products.
Un tel meuble peut comporter des écrans pour fermer son ouverture. Ces écrans sont transparents et mobiles pour permettre aux consommateurs de voir les produits présents dans le meuble frigorifique et ainsi d'effectuer leur choix, avant de faire coulisser l'un ou l'autre des écrans pour saisir les produits choisis.Such furniture may include screens to close its opening. These screens are transparent and mobile to allow consumers to see products present in the refrigeration unit and thus to make their choice, before making slide one or other of the screens to enter the selected products.
Ces écrans créent un confinement et assurent ainsi une protection du rideau d'air froid à la surface des produits placés dans le meuble.These screens create containment and thus ensure protection of the cold air curtain on the surface of products placed in the cabinet.
Ils permettent de maintenir une température optimale de conservation des produits, tout en réduisant la consommation électrique du meuble frigorifique. They maintain an optimal temperature product conservation, while reducing the electrical consumption of the refrigeration unit.
On constate cependant que lorsqu'un meuble frigorifique, équipé de tels écrans, est utilisé dans un local présentant un taux hygrométrique relativement élevé, par exemple de l'ordre de 80 % pour une température ambiante d'environ 16°C, de la condensation se forme sur la face externe des écrans coulissants.We note however that when a piece of furniture refrigerator, equipped with such screens, is used in a room with a humidity level relatively high, for example around 80% for an ambient temperature of around 16 ° C, condensation forms on the outside of screens sliding.
Ces condensations sont dues à une stratification d'air excessive, due au confinement créé par les écrans.These condensations are due to stratification excessive air, due to the confinement created by screens.
Ainsi, lorsque la couche d'air froid devient trop épaisse, elle est susceptible de refroidir les écrans par convection et conduction, et de conduire ainsi à des condensations.So when the layer of cold air gets too thick, it is likely to cool screens by convection and conduction, and thus lead to condensations.
Ces condensations retirent une partie des produits surgelés ou réfrigérés de la vue des consommateurs et, de façon générale, nuisent à la présentation des produits.These condensations remove part of the products frozen or chilled from the view of consumers and, in general, interfere with the presentation of products.
On a déjà essayé de résoudre ce problème, en réduisant sensiblement la vitesse du rideau d'air froid circulant dans le meuble frigorifique. Cependant, ceci ne s'est pas révélé efficace dans tous les cas.We have already tried to solve this problem, by significantly reducing the speed of the air curtain cold circulating in the refrigeration unit. However, this has not proven to be effective in all cases.
Par ailleurs, lorsque cette vitesse est réduite, le risque existe que les produits surgelés ou réfrigérés ne soient pas maintenus à une température appropriée pour assurer leur bonne conservation.Furthermore, when this speed is reduced, the risk exists that frozen or refrigerated products are not kept at an appropriate temperature to ensure their good conservation.
L'invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un meuble frigorifique horizontal pour produits surgelés ou réfrigérés, dont l'ouverture est susceptible d'être fermée et dans lequel tout risque de condensation est éliminé.The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by offering a horizontal refrigeration unit for frozen or chilled products, the opening of which is likely to be closed and in which any risk condensation is eliminated.
Ainsi, l'invention concerne un meuble frigorifique horizontal pour produits surgelés ou réfrigérés, comportant un châssis dont le bord périphérique supérieur définit une ouverture orientée vers le haut et susceptible d'être obturée par un système de fermeture, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens au niveau dudit bord périphérique supérieur du châssis pour créer des écoulements de fuite de l'air froid vers l'extérieur du meuble.Thus, the invention relates to a refrigeration unit horizontal for frozen or refrigerated products, comprising a frame whose peripheral edge upper defines an opening facing upwards and capable of being closed by a system of closure, characterized in that it comprises means at said upper peripheral edge of the chassis to create air leakage flows cold to the outside of the cabinet.
De façon préférée, ces moyens sont constitués par une entretoise présentant des orifices, interposée entre le bord supérieur du châssis et un support dudit système de fermeture, constitué par exemple par des écrans coulissants.Preferably, these means consist of a spacer with holes, interposed between the upper edge of the chassis and a support for said closing system, constituted for example by sliding screens.
De plus, ces moyens sont avantageusement réalisés en un matériau thermiquement isolant.In addition, these means are advantageously made in a thermally insulating material.
Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, ces moyens sont placés entre les bords longitudinaux du châssis et lesdits supports pour écrans coulissants.In a preferred embodiment, these means are placed between the longitudinal edges of the chassis and said supports for sliding screens.
Enfin, un courant d'air froid étant généré dans le meuble frigorifique au-dessus des produits surgelés ou réfrigérés, lesdits orifices s'étendent dans la direction de circulation dudit courant d'air froid au-dessus desdits produits.Finally, a stream of cold air is generated in the refrigerated cabinet on top of frozen products or refrigerated, said orifices extend into the direction of circulation of said stream of cold air above said products.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, avantages et caractéristiques de celle-ci apparaítront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui suit et qui est faite au regard des dessins annexés, sur lesquels :The invention will be better understood and other aims, advantages and characteristics of it will appear more clearly on reading the description which follows and which is made with regard to annexed drawings, in which:
La figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un meuble frigorifique selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a refrigeration unit according to the invention.
La figure 2 est une demi-vue schématique en coupe selon la ligne II-II du meuble frigorifique de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a schematic half-view in section according to line II-II of the refrigeration unit of the figure 1.
la figure 3 est une vue agrandie du détail A de la figure 2.Figure 3 is an enlarged view of detail A of the figure 2.
Les éléments communs aux différentes figures seront désignés par les mêmes repères.The elements common to the different figures will be designated by the same references.
On se réfère tout d'abord à la figure 1 qui illustre
un meuble frigorifique conforme à l'invention
comportant un châssis horizontal 1 présentant la
forme d'un bac. Le bord supérieur 2 du châssis 1
définit une ouverture orientée vers le haut.We first refer to Figure 1 which illustrates
a refrigeration unit according to the invention
comprising a horizontal frame 1 having the
shape of a tray. The
Le meuble frigorifique comporte également des
supports 7 pour des écrans coulissants 3.The refrigeration unit also includes
supports 7 for sliding
Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, le meuble
frigorifique comporte deux séries d'écrans 3,
inclinées l'une par rapport à l'autre, depuis un
élément médian et longitudinal 4 du meuble, surrélevé
par rapport au bord supérieur 2 du châssis 1.In the example illustrated in Figure 1, the cabinet
refrigerator has two series of
Dans ce cas, les moyens supports des écrans sont
prévus sur cet élément 4, et sur les bords
longitudinaux 11 du châssis 1. In this case, the support means of the screens are
provided on this element 4, and on the
Par ailleurs, des moyens 5 sont prévus pour fermer le
meuble, entre les bords transversaux 12 du châssis 1
et les écrans 3 placés en extrémité du meuble. Ces
moyens 5 se présentent notamment sous la forme de
panneaux isolants, de préférence transparents.Furthermore, means 5 are provided for closing the
furniture, between the
Les écrans 3 sont transparents et permettent donc aux
consommateurs d'effectuer leur choix, parmi les
produits surgelés ou réfrigérés 14 qui sont placés à
l'intérieur du meuble.The
Comme l'illustre la figure 1, un écran 3a peut être déplacé pour permettre au consommateur d'accéder au contenu du meuble.As illustrated in FIG. 1, a screen 3a can be moved to allow the consumer to access the contents of the cabinet.
La figure 1 montre qu'entre les moyens de support 7
des écrans 3 et les bords longitudinaux 11 du châssis
1, sont prévus des moyens 6 comportant des ouvertures
60. Ces moyens vont être décrits plus en détail dans
la suite de la description.Figure 1 shows that between the support means 7
On se réfère maintenant à la figure 2 qui représente une demi-vue en coupe du meuble frigorifique illustré à la figure 1.We now refer to Figure 2 which represents a half-section view of the refrigerated cabinet illustrated in Figure 1.
Ce meuble définit donc un bac dans lequel peut être placé au moins un compartiment 8 pour le rangement des produits surgelés ou réfrigérés.This piece of furniture therefore defines a tray in which can be placed at least one compartment 8 for storage frozen or refrigerated products.
A l'intérieur du meuble et sous lesdits compartiments
8, sont prévus des moyens 9 de refroidissement de
l'air ainsi qu'un ventilateur 10.Inside the cabinet and under said compartments
8, means 9 for cooling are provided.
air and a
Un courant ou rideau d'air froid est ainsi créé, ce rideau circulant autour des produits placés dans les compartiments 8, selon les flèches F. A cold air stream or curtain is thus created, this curtain circulating around the products placed in the compartments 8, according to arrows F.
Ainsi, un rideau d'air froid se développe à la surface des produits surgelés ou réfrigérés, du côté de l'ouverture 13 du châssis, orientée vers le haut.Thus, a curtain of cold air develops at the surface of frozen or chilled products, on the side opening 13 of the chassis, oriented upwards.
Les écrans coulissants 3 permettent de créer un
confinement et de limiter la consommation électrique
du meuble frigorifique.The sliding
Cependant, comme cela a été indiqué précédemment, la présence de ces écrans coulissants génère fréquemment des condensations, notamment à proximité des bords longitudinaux du meuble frigorifique.However, as noted earlier, the presence of these sliding screens frequently generates condensation, especially near the edges of the refrigeration cabinet.
C'est pourquoi le meuble frigorifique selon
l'invention comporte des moyens 6 déjà illustrés à la
figure 1, qui sont placés entre les moyens de support
7 des écrans mobiles et les bords longitudinaux 11.This is why the refrigeration unit according to
the invention comprises
Ces moyens 6 comportent des orifices 60 qui
permettent de créer des écoulements de fuite de l'air
froid, illustrés par la flèche E.These means 6 include
En effet, les condensations qui apparaissent sur les meubles frigorifiques classiques sont dues à une stratification d'air froid excessive, générée par le confinement obtenu avec les écrans coulissants.Indeed, the condensations which appear on the classic refrigerators are due to a excessive cold air stratification, generated by the containment obtained with sliding screens.
Les moyens 6 permettent ainsi de réguler le niveau de
stratification en permettant d'évacuer vers
l'extérieur du meuble, l'air froid qui est en excès.The
On se réfère à la figure 3 qui illustre de façon agrandie le détail A de la figure 2. We refer to Figure 3 which illustrates so enlarge detail A of figure 2.
Ainsi, on retrouve sur cette figure 3 les moyens 7 de
support des écrans coulissants 3, le rebord
longitudinal 11 du châssis 1 ainsi que le bord
supérieur 2 de l'ouverture définie par le châssis.Thus, we find in this figure 3 the means 7 of
support for sliding
La figure 3 montre que deux écrans 3 adjacents sont
montés coulissants dans des logements superposés 70
et 71 des moyens de support 7, grâce à des moyens
appropriés 72.Figure 3 shows that two
On retrouve également sur la figure 3 les moyens 6 qui sont constitués ici par une entretoise réalisée en un matériau thermiquement isolant pour limiter la déperdition et éviter les condensations sur la face extérieure de l'entretoise.Also found in Figure 3 means 6 which consist here of a spacer made in a thermally insulating material to limit the loss and avoid condensation on the face outside of the spacer.
La figure 3 illustre une des ouvertures 60 pratiquées
dans l'entretoise 6.FIG. 3 illustrates one of the
Les moyens 6 comportent des ouvertures 60, dont la
taille et le nombre peuvent varier suivant la
structure et les caractéristiques du meuble
frigorifique.The
Dans l'exemple illustré aux figures, l'entretoise 6
présente une hauteur d'environ 40 mm, les orifices 60
un diamètre d'environ 12 mm et les orifices 60 sont
espacés d'environ 20 cm.In the example illustrated in the figures, the
Dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures, les orifices
60 s'étendent dans une direction transversale,
correspondant à la direction dans laquelle le rideau
de courant froid circule, à la partie supérieure des
compartiments 8. In the example illustrated in the figures, the
