Abstract

The invention concerns a device for sealing a system for regulating the temperature of products located on a palette placed in a tunnel circulating ventilation air. Said device is characterised in that, in the tunnel (5), in order to avoid air leakage around the products located on the palette, the airtightness is produced by means of a tarpaulin cover (1) arranged to adhere the sides and the top of the products by the effect of the ventilation air pressure circulating in the tunnel.

Description

DISPOSITIF DΕTANCHEITE D'UN SYSTEME DE CONDITONNEMENT DE PRODUITS SUR PALETTE La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'étanchéité d'un système de refroidissement, de réchauffage ou de maintien de température de produits sur une palette placée dans un tunnel. The present invention relates to a sealing device for a system for cooling, heating or maintaining the temperature of products on a pallet placed in a tunnel.
Le terme palette est utilisé pour désigner une pièce qui constitue un support mais, aussi pour désigner un ensemble constitué par cette pièce support et une pile de produits érigée sur cette pièce (dans ce cas l'expression ensemble support et produits est indiquée entre parenthèses) .The term pallet is used to designate a part which constitutes a support but, also to designate an assembly constituted by this support part and a stack of products erected on this part (in this case the expression support and products set is indicated in parentheses) .
Le terme tunnel désigne, quant à lui, un ensemble comprenant :The term tunnel designates a set comprising:
- des parois agencées pour, par deux surfaces inférieure et supérieure sensiblement horizontales et deux surfaces latérales approximativement verticales, délimiter un couloir de section transversale sensiblement rectangulaire et à même de recevoir une palette et ses produits, avec un large jeu, c'est à dire, un jeu admettant le chargement et le déchargement du tunnel sans collision malgré l'imprécision de manutention de la palette par un dispositif conventionnel, tel un charriot à fourche, - un moyen d'insufflation d'air à température déterminée dans le tunnel, dans un sens également déterminé.- walls arranged for, by two substantially horizontal lower and upper surfaces and two approximately vertical lateral surfaces, delimiting a corridor of substantially rectangular cross section and able to receive a pallet and its products, with a large clearance, that is to say , a clearance admitting the loading and unloading of the tunnel without collision despite the imprecision of handling of the pallet by a conventional device, such as a forklift, - a means of blowing air at a determined temperature in the tunnel, in a sense also determined.
Le dispositif de l'invention permet de remédier à l'inconvénient majeur rencontré dans le type d'application qui est la fuite de l'air autour de la palette (ensemble support et produits) .The device of the invention overcomes the major drawback encountered in the type of application which is the leakage of air around the pallet (support and product assembly).
En effet, l'étanchéité n'est assurée, à ce jour, qu'à l'entrée ou à la sortie de la palette (ensemble support et produits) par un joint ou balai.In fact, sealing is only ensured, to date, at the entry or exit of the pallet (support and product assembly) by a seal or brush.
Dans l'invention, l'étanchéité réalisée au moyen d'une bâche est obtenue par la pression de l'air assurant la ventilation de la palette (ensemble support et produits) .In the invention, the seal produced by means of a tarpaulin is obtained by the air pressure ensuring the ventilation of the pallet (support and product assembly).
Lors de la mise en service du ventilateur, l'air rencontre la palette (ensemble support et produits) , ce qui crée une pression en amont du système, alors qu'en aval de celle-ci, la pression relative est nulle.When the fan is put into service, the air meets the pallet (support and product assembly), which creates a pressure upstream of the system, while downstream of it, the relative pressure is zero.
Cela a pour effet de coller la bâche qui sert d'étanchéité sur les côtés et le dessus de la palette (ensemble support et produits) .This has the effect of gluing the tarpaulin which serves as a seal on the sides and top of the pallet (support and product assembly).
Ce dispositif permet d'éviter toute fuite de l'air autour de la palette (ensemble support et produits) et de minimiser les puissances moteur-ventilateur.This device makes it possible to avoid any air leakage around the pallet (support and product assembly) and to minimize the motor-fan powers.
Cette invention est particulièrement destinée à refroidir les produits lactés (yaourts, crème dessert) dans l'industrie laitière.This invention is particularly intended for cooling dairy products (yogurts, dessert cream) in the dairy industry.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif caratérisé en ce que, dans le tunnel, pour éviter chaque fuite d'air de ventilation autour des produits situés sur la palette, l'étanchéité est réalisée au moyen d'une bâche et cette bâche est disposée pour se coller sur les côtés et le dessus des produits, sous l'effet de la pression de l'air de ventilation qui circule dans ledit tunnel.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device characterized in that, in the tunnel, to prevent each leakage of ventilation air around the products located on the pallet, the sealing is achieved by means of a tarpaulin and this sheet is arranged to stick to the sides and top of the products, under the effect of the pressure of the ventilation air which circulates in said tunnel.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard des dessins ci-annexés.The invention will be clearly understood on reading the description below made by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the attached drawings.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
- la figure 1 représente la coupe en vue de dessus,FIG. 1 represents the section in top view,
- la figure 2 représente le plan général en perspective. En se reportant au dessin, on voit un tunnel 5, c'est à dire une partie fonctionnelle d'une installation d'ajustement de la température (non représentée) de produits, tels des groupes de pots de produits lactés, empilés sur un support de manutention, dit palette. Bien que cela n'apparaisse pas sur le dessin, les produits sont classiquement, dans chaque groupe, disposés avec un certain écartement qui permet la circulation d'air entre eux.- Figure 2 shows the general plan in perspective. Referring to the drawing, we see a tunnel 5, that is to say a functional part of an installation for adjusting the temperature (not shown) of products, such as groups of jars of milk products, stacked on a support. handling, said pallet. Although this does not appear on the drawing, the products are conventionally, in each group, arranged with a certain spacing which allows the circulation of air between them.
Le terme palette est ci-après utilisé pour désigner une pièce qui constitue un support. La pile de produits et la palette forment un ensemble de forme approximativement paralèllépipédique rectangle.The term pallet is used below to designate a part which constitutes a support. The stack of products and the pallet form a set of approximately parallel rectangular shape.
L'ensemble 4 support et pile de produits a classiquement une section transversale rectangulaire. Le terme tunnel 5 désigne, quant à lui, un ensemble comprenant :The assembly 4 support and stack of products conventionally has a rectangular cross section. The term tunnel 5 designates a set comprising:
- des parois agencées pour, par une surface inférieure et une surface supérieure sensiblement horizontales et deux surfaces latérales approximativement verticales, délimiter un couloir de section transversale sensiblement rectangulaire et à même de recevoir un ensemble 4 palette et produits, avec un large jeu, c'est à dire, un jeu admettant le chargement et le déchargement du tunnel 5 sans collision malgré l'imprécision de manutention de la palette par un dispositif conventionnel, tel un charriot à fourche (non représenté) ,- walls arranged for, by a substantially horizontal lower surface and upper surface and two approximately vertical lateral surfaces, delimiting a corridor of substantially rectangular cross section and able to receive a set of 4 pallets and products, with a large clearance, it that is to say, a clearance admitting the loading and unloading of the tunnel 5 without collision despite the imprecision of handling the pallet by a conventional device, such as a forklift (not shown),
- un moyen 2 d'insufflation d'air à température déterminée dans le tunnel 5, dans un sens également déterminé.a means 2 for blowing air at a determined temperature into the tunnel 5, in a direction also determined.
Le dispositif de l'invention vise à entraver efficacement la fuite de l'air latéralement et au dessus de la pile de produits, c'est à dire par le jeu qui subsiste, d'une part, entre chaque face latérale de la pile et la face latérale en vis à vis du tunnel 5 et, d'autre part, entre la face supérieure de la pile et la face en vis à vis du tunnel 5. A cet effet, dans le tunnel 5, pour éviter chaque fuite d'air de ventilation autour des produits situés sur la palette, l'étanchéité est réalisée au moyen d'une bâche 1 et cette bâche est disposée pour se coller sur les côtés et le dessus des produits, sous l'effet de la pression de l'air de ventilation qui circule dans ledit tunnel.The device of the invention aims to effectively hinder the leakage of air laterally and above the stack of products, that is to say by the clearance which remains, on the one hand, between each lateral face of the stack and the side face opposite the tunnel 5 and, on the other hand, between the upper face of the stack and the face opposite the tunnel 5. To this end, in the tunnel 5, to avoid each leak of ventilation air around the products located on the pallet, sealing is achieved by means of a tarpaulin 1 and this tarpaulin is arranged to stick to the sides and top of the products, under the effect of the pressure of the ventilation air which circulates in said tunnel.
Dans l'invention, l'étanchéité réalisée au moyen d'une bâche 1 est obtenue par la pression de l'air assurant la ventilation de la palette (ensemble support et produits) . Par bâche, on désigne une nappe de matériau souple. Au plan du fonctionnement, lors de la mise en service du ventilateur 2, l'air (symbolisé par des flèches noires) rencontre la palette 4 (ensemble support et produits) , ce qui crée une pression (PI) en amont du système, alors qu'en aval de celle-ci, la pression est nulle (PO) . Cela a pour effet de coller la bâche qui sert d'étanchéité sur les côtés et le dessus de la palette (ensemble support et produits) . Ce dispositif permet d'éviter toute fuite de l'air autour de la palette et de minimiser les puissances moteur- ventilateur.In the invention, the seal produced by means of a sheet 1 is obtained by the pressure of the air ensuring the ventilation of the pallet (support and product assembly). By tarpaulin is meant a sheet of flexible material. In terms of operation, when the fan 2 is put into service, the air (symbolized by black arrows) meets the pallet 4 (support and product assembly), which creates pressure (PI) upstream of the system, so that downstream of it, the pressure is zero (PO). This has the effect of sticking the tarpaulin which serves as a seal on the sides and top of the pallet (support and product assembly). This device makes it possible to avoid any air leakage around the pallet and to minimize the motor-fan powers.
De manière remarquable, le dispositif de l'invention comprend plusieurs bâches 1 et chaque bâche 1 est disposée dans un espace E existant entre une surface 4A de l'ensemble 4 produits et support et, une surface 5A du tunnel située en vis à vis pour, en se gonflant sous la pression de l'air qui, puisé dans le tunnel, est destiné à traverser la pile de produits, fermer l'espace E considéré et limiter la circulation de l'air à des passages subsistant entre les produits.Remarkably, the device of the invention comprises several tarpaulins 1 and each tarpaulin 1 is disposed in a space E existing between a surface 4A of the assembly 4 products and support and, a surface 5A of the tunnel located opposite for , by inflating under the pressure of the air which, drawn from the tunnel, is intended to pass through the stack of products, close the space E considered and limit the circulation of air to passages remaining between the products.
De manière encore remarquable :Still remarkably:
- chaque bâche 1 présente deux rives 1A, 1B, situées l'une 1A en amont et l'autre 1B en aval du tunnel compte tenu du sens de circulation de l'air à travers les produits empilés sur la palette et,each sheet 1 has two banks 1A, 1B, located one 1A upstream and the other 1B downstream of the tunnel, taking into account the direction of air circulation through the products stacked on the pallet and,
- entre ces rives 1A, 1B, la bâche 1 a une dimension développée supérieure à la distance rectiligne qui sépare lesdites rives 1A, 1B, de manière à constituer poche souple, - au niveau de sa rive aval 1A, la bâche 1 est fixée au moins indirectement contre la face 5A du tunnel 5 au niveau de laquelle elle s'étend,- between these banks 1A, 1B, the sheet 1 has a developed dimension greater than the straight distance which separates said banks 1A, 1B, so as to constitute a flexible pocket, - at its downstream bank 1A, the sheet 1 is fixed to the less indirectly against the face 5A of the tunnel 5 at which it extends,
- au niveau de sa rive amont 1B, la bâche 1 est maintenue écartée de la face 5A du tunnel 5 au niveau de laquelle elle s'étend, de manière à telle que l'air puisé puisse s'engouffrer dans le volume délimité par cette nappe contre la face du tunnel et que, par cela, l'augmentation de pression qui en résulte provoque l'application de cette bâche 1 contre l'ensemble produits et support 4. - at its upstream bank 1B, the sheet 1 is kept apart from the face 5A of the tunnel 5 at which it extends, so that the drawn air can rush into the volume delimited by this sheet against the face of the tunnel and that, by this, the resulting increase in pressure causes the application of this sheet 1 against the assembly of products and support 4.
