Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for tempering in vessels such as liquids in particular bottles, such as in particular of drinks.
  • the invention assumes that it is possible to use liquids e.g. with help of microwaves to heat very quickly, but the cooling relatively much Takes time. For example, it takes time to cool bottled drinks in a refrigerator from room temperature to drinking temperature ( ⁇ 8 ° C) several Hours, and still in the freezer for at least an hour.
  • Bottle coolers are known from the prior art, which either ice water use as cooling medium (DE-PS 252 782) or thermoelectric Cooling that draws heat from the environment with appropriate polarity or dispense opposite, so-called Peltier elements (GB 844 652; DE 34 13 031 A1, DD 80 856).
  • thermoelectric bottle coolers A disadvantage of thermoelectric bottle coolers is that the time for lowering the temperature the bottle contents is relatively long because the bottles are out of air are surrounded. The cooling is done by a fan (DD 80 856) or by heat conduction over a metal plate on which the bottle stands (GB 844 652). In DE-PS 252 782 must maintain the desired low temperature ice, the bottle is in one Use of flexible material impermeable to water, this is only for use certain bottle diameter suitable.
  • the present invention has as its object a device to create, with the help of cooling or heating bottle contents is possible in containers loaded by Peltier elements, the increased heat transfer largely independent of the diameter of the bottles should be guaranteed.
  • the wire brackets are surrounded by a loosely attached film stocking and the housing can be filled with a cooling medium.
  • a cooling Peltier element In a recess of the Wall of the housing is arranged as a cooling Peltier element, the one Has heat transfer surface and a counter surface, the heat transfer surface washed by the fluid and the counter surface is ventilated.
  • fluid can be used as pourable materials, understood as granules, but preferably liquids.
  • the configuration according to the invention makes an intensive, almost full-surface Tempering of the containers reached, the cooling medium used, preferably water, the temperature compensation between the Peltier element because of the much higher thermal conductivity compared to air accelerates. Nevertheless, the containers are not wetted, the fluid is completely separated from the containers and also from the ambient air, so that germs are also excluded, if necessary, the Appropriate disinfectants used for heat transfer admit.
  • the cooling medium used preferably water
  • the wire hanger ensures that the waterproof film stocking is spaced such that the vessels slide into them easily from above to let.
  • the brackets connected via webs fix the Foil stocking against its buoyancy on the case bottom.
  • the bottom of the cooling basin advantageously has a recess in which engage the webs.
  • This recess which is advantageously designed as a V-groove, ensures that the wire bracket is secured against shifting or slipping are and so when setting or removing the beverage container in the near vertical position remain.
  • the film stocking has an excess compared to the vessels, so that with regard to their dimensions can be tempered containers of different sizes, wherein
  • the hydrostatic pressure ensures that the film is tight and large to the wall of the vessel. On the one hand, this creates good thermal contact guaranteed.
  • the vessels are kept in the container and counteracting buoyancy, particularly in the case of partially emptied vessels.
  • the heat transfer surface is enlarged, as is the counter surface has ribs so that the performance of the Peltier element is increased becomes.
  • the fan preferably rests in a lining Foam plastic such as Polyurethane.
  • the wall has, in particular, the design made of foam plastic Screw inserts for fastening internals such as the Fastening ring of the holding plate for the film stocking and the Peltier element, a seal between the Peltier element and the wall supporting it is arranged, which separates the cooling medium space from the blower side.
  • a pump on the housing or its upper edge to fasten, via which compressed air can be introduced into the vessel in order to Dispense the liquid contained via a riser and an outlet can without having to remove the vessel.
  • the pump can be equivalent also have a compressed gas connection or be electrically operated, in particular it is manually operated.
  • the riser is near its top Arranged a particularly spring-loaded check valve, the after the pumping process has ended, the reflux of the liquid present prevented.
  • the spring of the valve can have a variable spring tension, in this way a desired overpressure can be maintained in the gas space above the liquid in the vessel, which reduces undesired outgassing, in particular of CO 2 .
  • the present invention is particularly advantageous for large-volume beverage bottles, in particular for example for CO 2 -containing soft drinks or beer.
  • the bottle contents are cooled surprisingly quickly on the one hand because of the high performance of the Peltier elements and the very high heat transfer guaranteed according to the invention - about 15 minutes are usually sufficient for a temperature drop of up to over 10 ° C - on the other hand the bottle contents do not have to be moved when removed become, which leads to a significant reduction in CO 2 losses.
  • the pump head preferably has a receptacle for the bottle neck, the e.g. is equipped with a thread into which the bottle can be screwed.
  • One pump can also be used to supply pressure to several bottles, the spouts have shut-off devices that can be opened optionally.
  • the Peltier element is particularly adjustable Thermostats regulated.
  • FIG. 1 shows the housing 2 of the device, which has in its interior a basin 20 made of foam plastic, which is filled with cooling medium 13 in the desired amount.
  • the basin 20 has a recess 9 on the side, into which a Peltier element as cooling 3 is inserted, which is held in the basin wall by means of screw inserts.
  • the ribs of the heat transfer surface 11 protrude into the interior of the pool, ie they are surrounded by the cooling medium, preferably water, the fluid naturally absorbing and transferring heat when the polarity of the Peltier element is reversed.
  • a spacer 21 is arranged in the basin wall 10 and is supported by an O-ring 22 is surrounded and seals the air chamber 23 against the fluid 13.
  • the actual Peltier surface 24 lies against the spacer 21, its opposite one Side is connected to the ribs of the counter surface 12 and acted upon by the blower 25, which is inserted into retaining ribs 26 made of foam plastic.
  • a fastening ring 28 rests on a projection 27 on the upper basin part, which is also made of foam plastic and with screw inserts 14 the basin can be screwed. This mounting ring 28 seals against that Cooling medium 13 from.
  • the retaining ring 28 encloses the upper edge of the film stocking 8, which in the Basin 20 hangs down and is kept at a distance from the wire brackets 7.
  • the Wire clips 7 are combined on the foot side via webs 7 'and fix the Foil stocking 8 against its buoyancy at the bottom of the pool 20.
  • the pelvic floor has a recess 29 into which the webs 7 'of the bracket 7 intervene, thus preventing slipping or shifting when adjusting or the removal of the beverage container 1 are secured.
  • Retaining plate 4 and retaining ring 28 are perforated for opening a bottle opening 5, wherein the retaining ring is advantageously integrated into the holding plate.
  • a vessel 1 (bottle) is set in the film stocking 8, the pressure of the Cooling medium 13 hugs the film stocking close to the vessel wall and such enables heat transfer through heat conduction. At the same time also counteracted the buoyancy of the beverage container.
  • the fluid 13 is thus separated from the vessel, it can remain in the basin for a long time and basically does not need to be replaced. It can be chemical Includes additives to increase heat conduction.
  • the device can be closed with a removable cover 6.
  • Dispense beverages from large bottles in particular is to be able to with the help of a bayonet lock over the one broken here Cover 6, however, a pump 15 connected to the upper edge of the housing 2, which has a receptacle 16 for the neck 31 of the bottle 1.
  • the pump 15 has a piston 32 and valves 30, via which compressed air gets into the bottle 1, which the drink from inside the bottle 1 over Riser pipe 17, which extends to the bottom of the bottle, via the check valve 19 conducts the outlet 18.
  • the check valve 19 has a spring, the tension of which can be changeable.
  • FIG. 2 shows the film stocking 8 drawn over the essentially vertical wire brackets 7. This has an excess compared to the (radial) spacing of the wire brackets 7, so that vessels of different diameters can also be set.
  • On the outside of the film stocking is the cooling medium, which presses the film inwards and creates a large contact area with the vessels. At least three wire brackets are required.
  • FIG. 3 shows the wire brackets 7 connected to the holding plate 4 and combined via the webs 7 ', which are arranged here in a cross shape as four spacers.
  • the film stocking 8 is dented by the hydrostatic pressure, a bottle or another vessel can be easily inserted into the intermediate space 34.
