Abstract

A series of flexible sheets are used around a pallet with products thereon, the pallet being disposed in a tunnel. The flexible sheets fill with air pressure supplied at one end of the tunnel such that air leakage around the periphery of the pallet and products is prevented. The arrangement is used to maintain the products at desired temperatures.

Description

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 a cooling, heating or holding system 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 a set consisting of this support piece and a stack of products erected on this piece (in this case the expression set support and products is indicated in brackets).

Le terme tunnel désigne, quant à lui, un ensemble comprenant :

  • 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.
The term tunnel designates a set comprising:
  • 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 allowing the loading and unloading of the tunnel without collision despite the imprecision in handling the pallet by a conventional device, such as a forklift,
  • means for blowing air at a determined temperature into the tunnel, in a direction 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 air leakage around the pallet (support assembly and products).

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, watertightness is only ensured to date entering or leaving the pallet (support assembly and products) by a seal or broom.

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 operation, the air meets the pallet (support and products), which creates a pressure upstream of the system, while downstream of this, 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 sticking the tarpaulin which serves as a seal on the sides and top of the pallet (support assembly and products).

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 prevents any air leaks around of the pallet (support and products) 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 to cool dairy products (yogurts, dessert cream) in industry dairy.

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 invention relates to a device characterized in that, in the tunnel, to avoid each leak ventilation air around the products located on the pallet, sealing is achieved by means of a tarpaulin and this tarpaulin is arranged to stick to the sides and top of products under the effect of ventilation air pressure 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 given by way of nonlimiting example in look at the attached drawings.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :

  • la figure 1 représente la coupe en vue de dessus,
  • la figure 2 représente le plan général en perspective.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
  • FIG. 1 represents the section in top view,
  • Figure 2 shows the general plan in 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.Referring to the drawing, we see a tunnel 5, it is say a functional part of an adjustment facility the temperature (not shown) of products, such as groups of jars of milk products, stacked on a support handling, said pallet.

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.Although it does not appear in the drawing, the products are conventionally, in each group, arranged with a certain spacing which allows air circulation between them.

Le terme palette est ci-après utilisé pour désigner une pièce qui constitue un support.The term palette is used below to denote a part which constitutes a support.

La pile de produits et la palette forment un ensemble de forme approximativement paralèllépipédique rectangle.The stack of products and the pallet form a set of approximately rectangular rectangle shape.

L'ensemble 4 support et pile de produits a classiquement une section transversale rectangulaire. The set 4 support and stack of products has conventionally a rectangular cross section.

Le terme tunnel 5 désigne, quant à lui, un ensemble comprenant :

  • 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),
  • un moyen 2 d'insufflation d'air à température déterminée dans le tunnel 5, dans un sens également déterminé.
The term tunnel 5 designates, for its part, a set comprising:
  • walls arranged for, by a substantially horizontal lower 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, in other words, a clearance admitting the loading and unloading of the tunnel 5 without collision despite the imprecision in handling the pallet by a conventional device, such as a forklift (not shown),
  • 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.The device of the invention aims to effectively hinder air leakage laterally and above the stack of products, that is to say by the game that remains, on the one hand, between each side face of the stack and the side face in opposite tunnel 5 and, on the other hand, between the face top of the pile and the face opposite the 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.To this end, in tunnel 5, to avoid each leak 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 products under the effect of ventilation air pressure 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).In the invention, the seal produced by means of a tarpaulin 1 is obtained by the air pressure ensuring the ventilation of the pallet (support and product assembly).

Par bâche, on désigne une nappe de matériau souple.By tarpaulin is meant a sheet of flexible material.

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 (P1) en amont du système, alors qu'en aval de celle-ci, la pression est nulle (P0).In terms of operation, during the commissioning of the fan 2, air (symbolized by black arrows) meets pallet 4 (support and product assembly), which creates pressure (P1) upstream of the system, while downstream of this one, the pressure is zero (P0).

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 sticking the tarpaulin which serves as a seal on the sides and top of the pallet (support assembly and products).

Ce dispositif permet d'éviter toute fuite de l'air autour de la palette et de minimiser les puissances moteur-ventilateur.This device prevents any air leaks around of the pallet and 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, pulsé 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 includes several tarpaulins 1 and each tarpaulin 1 is arranged in a space E existing between a surface 4A of the assembly 4 products and support and, a 5A surface of the tunnel located opposite screw for, inflating under the pressure of the air which, pulsed in the tunnel, is intended to cross 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 :

  • 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,
  • 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 amont 1A, la bâche 1 est fixée au moins indirectement contre 1a face 5A du tunnel 5 au niveau de laquelle elle s'étend,
  • au niveau de sa rive aval 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 pulsé 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.
Still remarkably:
  • each sheet 1 has two banks 1A, 1B, one located 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,
  • 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 upstream bank 1A, the cover 1 is fixed at least indirectly against the face 5A of the tunnel 5 at which it extends,
  • at its downstream bank 1B, the sheet 1 is kept spaced from the face 5A of the tunnel 5 at which it extends, so that the forced 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.

Claims (3)

  1. Sealing device for a temperature adjustment system of products situated on a pallet placed in a ventilation air circulation tunnel, characterised in that, so as to avoid each leaking of ventilation air around the products situated on the pallet, sealing in the tunnel (5) is effected with a sheet (1) disposed so as to be glued on the sides and top of the products under the effect of the pressure of the ventilation air circulating in said tunnel.
  2. Device according to claim 1, characterised in that it includes several sheets (1), each sheet (1) being placed in a space (E) existing between a surface (4A) of the products and support unit (4) and a surface (5A) of the tunnel situated opposite so as to, by inflating under the pressure of the air propelled into the tunnel for traversing the pile of products, closes the space (E) in question and limits the circulation of air in passages existing between the products.
  3. Device according to claim 2, characterised in that :
    each sheet (1) has two edges (1A, 1B), one (1A) situated upstream and the other (1B) downstream of the tunnel having regard to the direction of circulation of the air through the products stacked on the pallet, and
    between these edges (1A, 1B), the sheet (1) has a developed dimension larger than the rectilinear distance separating said edges (1A, 1B) so as to constitute a flexible pocket,
    at the level of its downstream edge (1B), the sheet (1) is fixed, at least indirectly, against the face (5A) of the tunnel (5) at the level from which it extends,
    at the level of its upstream edge (1A), the sheet (1) is kept spaced from the face (5A) of the tunnel (5) at the level from which it extends so that the propelled air is able to be caught inside the volume delimited by this lap against the face of the tunnel, and because of this the increase of the resultant pressure causes this sheet (1) to be applied against the support and products unit (4).
