Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Warentheke mit einer Befeuchtungseinrichtung, insbesondere eine Kühltheke. Es ist bekannt, Frischware, die in Kühltheken gelagert wird, mit Hilfe von Frischwarenbefeuchtern feucht zu halten. Insbesondere werden Frischwarenbefeuchter zur Frischhaltung von Obst und Gemüse eingesetzt.The present invention relates to a goods counter with a humidifying device, in particular a refrigerated display. It is known to keep fresh produce stored in refrigerated counters moist with the aid of fresh-food humidifiers. In particular, fresh produce humidifiers are used for keeping fruit and vegetables fresh.

Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Systemen ist die Art der Einbringung des Kaltdampfs in den Warenauslageraum der Warentheke. Üblicherweise werden zur Einbringung des Kaltdampfs ein Rohr oder eine Rohrschlange auf dem Warenauslageraumboden positioniert. Die Rohre oder Rohrschlangen sind perforiert, um so den Kaltdampf in das Innere des Warenauslageraums zu fördern. Um den feuchten Dampf in den Warenauslageraum zu transportieren, wird über einen Ventilator Umgebungsluft angesaugt, welcher die Luft zunächst durch einen Dampferzeuger fördert, um im Dampferzeuger die Feuchte in den Luftstrom einzubringen. Der befeuchtete Luftstrom wird anschließend in die Rohre oder Rohrschlange gedrückt und gelangt durch die Perforation hindurch in den Warenauslageraum.A disadvantage of these known systems is the way the cold vapor is introduced into the goods storage area of the goods counter. Usually, a tube or a pipe coil are positioned on the goods Ausausaumaumboden for introducing the cold steam. The pipes or coils are perforated so as to promote the cold vapor into the interior of the goods Ausausaums. In order to transport the moist steam into the goods storage room, ambient air is sucked in via a fan, which initially conveys the air through a steam generator in order to introduce the moisture into the airflow in the steam generator. The humidified air stream is then pressed into the tubes or coil and passes through the perforation into the goods storage room.

Nachteilig ist die Tatsache, dass die angesaugte Luft in der Regel ungefiltert in den Dampferzeuger gelangt. Weiterhin nachteilig ist, dass die im Warenauslageraum angeordneten Rohre oder Rohrschlangen von außen nicht zugänglich sind und deshalb kaum gereinigt werden können. Im Extremfall bilden sich dort Keime oder Schleim, was äußerst unhygienisch und gesundheitsschädlich ist.The disadvantage is the fact that the sucked air usually passes unfiltered into the steam generator. Another disadvantage is that the goods in the Ausausaum arranged pipes or coils are not accessible from the outside and therefore can hardly be cleaned. In extreme cases, germs or mucus form there, which is extremely unhygienic and harmful to health.

Aus der US 1 990 431 A ist eine Warentheke mit einer im Bereich des Dampfaustritts angeordneten dampfdurchlässigen Abdeckung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt, welche geöffnet werden kann. Bei dieser bekannten Warentheke verläuft die Dampfzuleitung senkrecht zum Warenauslageraum. Dies begünstigt das Einbringen und Herunterfallen von Verschmutzungspartikeln in die Dampfzuleitung. Außerdem ist die Dampfzuleitung von außen her schlecht einsehbar.From the US Pat. No. 1,990,431 is a goods counter with a arranged in the region of the steam outlet vapor-permeable cover according to the preamble of claim 1, which can be opened. In this known goods counter, the steam supply line runs perpendicular to the goods Ausausaum. This favors the introduction and Falling of dirt particles in the steam supply line. In addition, the steam supply from the outside is difficult to see.

Ausgehend von diesen Nachteilen liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Warentheke hinsichtlich ihrer hygienischen Eigenschaften zu verbessern. Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist vorgeschlagen, den Dampferzeuger für den Frischwarenbefeuchter separat vom Warenauslageraum anzuordnen und die Dampfzuleitung in den Austritt im Warenauslageraum ausmünden zu lassen. Dieser Dampfaustritt ist von einer demontierbaren luftdurchlässigen Abdeckung abgedeckt. Die Dampfdurchlässigkeit der Abdeckung bewirkt, dass weiterhin der feuchte Nebel oder Dampf in den Warenauslageraum zum ordnungsmäßigen Befeuchten der Ware eindringen kann. Die Demontierbarkeit der Abdeckung ermöglicht es, einen Zugang zur Dampfzuleitung zu schaffen, um die Dampfzuleitung und den Dampfaustritt selbst vom Warenauslageraum her reinigen zu können. Durch die regelmäßige Reinigung sowohl des Dampfaustritts als auch der Dampfzuleitung sollen eine Keimbildung oder sonstige Verunreinigungen wirksam verhindert werden. Des Weiteren ist es vorgesehen, für die Dampfzuleitung zwischen Dampferzeuger und Dampfaustritt transparente Rohre zu verwenden. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Hygienezustand der Rohre jederzeit einfach durch Sichtkontrolle ermittelt werden kann. Auch ermöglicht es die Erfindung, die Dampfzuleitung so zu konfigurieren, dass sie mittels einer handelsüblichen Flaschenbürste vom Dampfaustritt her gereinigt werden kann.Based on these disadvantages, the invention has the object to improve a product counter with regard to their hygienic properties. To solve the problem is proposed to arrange the steam generator for the fresh goods humidifier separately from the goods Ausausaum and to let the steam supply into the outlet in the goods storage room. This steam outlet is covered by a removable air-permeable cover. The vapor permeability of the cover ensures that the moist mist or steam can continue to penetrate into the goods storage room for proper wetting of the goods. The demountability of the cover makes it possible to provide access to the steam supply line to be able to clean the steam supply and the steam outlet itself from the Warenauslageraum ago. By regularly cleaning both the steam outlet and the steam supply nucleation or other impurities should be effectively prevented. Furthermore, it is intended to use transparent pipes for the steam supply between the steam generator and steam outlet. This has the advantage that the hygiene state of the pipes can be determined at any time simply by visual inspection. Also, the invention makes it possible to configure the steam supply line so that it can be cleaned by means of a commercially available bottle brush from the steam outlet ago.

Die Bedienung der Abdeckung beim Reinigen wird durch den in bevorzugter Ausführung vorgesehenen Schwenkmechanismus erleichtert. Um zu gewährleisten, dass der Warenauslageraum gleichmäßig und vollständig mit feuchtem Dampf beaufschlagt wird, ist es in bevorzugter Ausführung weiterhin vorgesehen, die Abdeckung im Bereich des Dampfaustritts so auszugestalten, dass sie sich über die gesamte Breite der Warentheke erstreckt. Fertigungstechnisch günstig ist die Verwendung eines von Ausströmöffnungen durchbrochenen Strangpressprofils als Abdeckung für den Dampfaustritt. Fertigungstechnisch ebenfalls günstig ist die Anordnung eines festen Strangpressprofils innerhalb des Warenauslageraums. Dieses fest installierte Strangpressprofil hat die Funktion eines Halteprofils und kann optional beheizt werden. Neben dieser Beheizungsfunktion dient das Halteprofil als Aufnahme für das daran schwenkbar gelagerte, perforierte Strangpressprofil, welches wiederum die Abdeckung für den Dampfaustritt bildet.The operation of the cover during cleaning is facilitated by the pivot mechanism provided in a preferred embodiment. In order to ensure that the goods Ausausaum is applied uniformly and completely with wet steam, it is also provided in a preferred embodiment, the cover in the region of the steam outlet in such a way that it extends over the entire width of the product counter. In terms of manufacturing technology, the use of an extruded section which is interrupted by outflow openings serves as a cover for the steam outlet. Manufacturing technology also favorable is the arrangement of a fixed extruded profile within the Warenauslageraums. This permanently installed extruded profile has the function of a holding profile and can be heated optionally. In addition to this heating function, the retaining profile serves as a receptacle for the pivotally mounted, perforated extruded profile, which in turn forms the cover for the steam outlet.

Schließlich ist es vorgesehen, dem im Unterbau der Warentheke angeordneten Dampferzeuger einen oder mehrere Zuluftfilter gegen Feinstaub, Feinststaub und Ähnliches vorzuschalten. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass der Dampferzeuger verunreinigte Luft ansaugt und in den Auslageraum fördert.Finally, it is envisaged to precede the steam generator arranged in the substructure of the goods counter one or more supply air filters against fine dust, fine dust and the like. This will prevent that the steam generator sucks in polluted air and conveys it into the storage room.

Die Warenkühltheke 1 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Unterbau 2 einer auf dem Unterbau 2 ruhenden Warenauslage 3 und einer die Warenauslage 3 abschirmenden und den Warenauslageraum begrenzenden Verglasung 4. Die Verglasung 4 ist von hinten her von einer Entnahmeöffnung 5 durchbrochen. Durch die Entnahmeöffnung 5 kann die auf der Warenauslage 3 ausliegende Ware dem Warenauslageraum entnommen werden und auf die bedienseitige Arbeitsplatte 6 der Warenkühltheke 1 aufgelegt werden. Mit anderen Worten ist der Warenauslageraum der Warenkühltheke 1 von der Verglasung 4 zur Kundenseite 7 hin abgeschirmt, während er mit der Entnahmeöffnung 5 zur Bedienseite 8 hin offen ist.The refrigerated counter 1 essentially consists of a base 2 of a resting on the base 2 merchandise display 3 and the goods display 3 shielding and the goods Ausausaum limiting glazing 4. The glazing 4 is broken from the rear of a removal opening 5.

Im Unterbau 2 der Warenkühltheke 1 ist der Dampferzeuger 9 angeordnet, welcher zur Herstellung des feuchten Dampfs bzw. Kaltdampfs zur Befeuchtung des Warenauslageraums der Warenkühltheke 1 dient. Dem Dampferzeuger 9 ist vorgeschaltet der Zuluftfilter 10, durch welchen der Lüfter 11 hindurch Luft ansaugt, die im Dampferzeuger 9 zu Kaltdampf verarbeitet wird. An den Dampferzeuger 9 angeschlossen ist die Dampfzuleitung 12, welche in den Dampfaustritt 13 mündet.In the substructure 2 of the refrigerated counter 1, the steam generator 9 is arranged, which serves for the production of moist steam or cold steam for humidification of the goods Ausausaumaums the refrigerated display unit 1. The steam generator 9 is preceded by the supply air filter 10, through which the fan 11 sucks in air, which is processed in the steam generator 9 to cold steam. Connected to the steam generator 9 is the steam supply line 12, which opens into the steam outlet 13.

Zwischen den Unterbau 2 und die Warenauslage 3 ist eine wärmegedämmte Kühlwanne 14 zwischengeschaltet. In der Kühlwanne 14 ist eine Kühlschlange zur Kühlung der auf der Warenauslage 3 aufliegenden Ware angeordnet.Between the base 2 and the merchandise display 3, a thermally insulated cooling trough 14 is interposed. In the cooling trough 14, a cooling coil for cooling the goods resting on the goods display 3 is arranged.

Des Weiteren ist eine Umluftkühlung im Bereich des Warenauslageraums vorgesehen. Diese Umluftkühlung besteht aus einem unterhalb der Arbeitsplatte 6 angeordneten Verdampfer 15 und einem dem Verdampfer 15 zugeordneten Lüfter 16. Durch eine Ansaugöffnung 17 hindurch saugt der Lüfter 16 Luft aus dem Warenauslageraum an, leitet diese in den Verdampfer 15 und lässt sie durch den Luftaustritt 18 als gekühlte Luft wiederum in den Warenauslageraum strömen.Furthermore, circulating air cooling is provided in the region of the goods storage space. This circulating air cooling system consists of an evaporator 15 arranged below the worktop 6 and a ventilator 16 associated with the evaporator 15. Through a suction opening 17, the fan 16 draws in air from the merchandise aging chamber, forwards it into the evaporator 15 and leaves it through the air outlet 18 Cooled air in turn flow into the goods storage room.

In Fig. 2 erkennbar ist der Dampfaustritt 13 für den zur Befeuchtung vorgesehenen Kaltdampf aus dem Dampferzeuger 9. Der Dampfaustritt 13 befindet sich am Ende der Dampfzuleitung 12. Die Dampfzuleitung 12 ist rohrartig ausgestaltet und der Dampfaustritt 13 in Form eines 90°-Stutzens an diese Rohrleitung angeformt. Der Dampfaustritt 13 ist nach oben in Richtung auf die Arbeitsplatte 6 hin begrenzt von einem als Strangpressprofil ausgestalteten Halteprofil 19. Dieses Halteprofil 19 ist vorzugsweise beheizbar.In Fig. 2 The steam outlet 13 is located at the end of the steam supply line 12. The steam supply line 12 is designed like a tube and the steam outlet 13 is formed in the form of a 90 ° nozzle to this pipeline. The steam outlet 13 is bounded in the direction of the worktop 6 towards the top by a retaining profile 19 designed as an extruded profile. This retaining profile 19 is preferably heatable.

Am Freiende des Halteprofils 19 hin zum Warenauslageraum ist mittels eines Schwenklagers 20 die Abdeckung 21 des Dampfaustritts 13 gelagert. Die Abdeckung 21 ist ebenso wie das Halteprofil 19 als Strangpressprofil ausgeführt. Die Abdeckung 21 ist von einer Vielzahl von Durchgangsöffnungen durchbrochen, so dass der vom Dampferzeuger 9 erzeugte und durch die Dampfzuleitung 12 zum Dampfaustritt 13 geförderte Kaltdampf in den Warenauslageraum der Warenkühltheke 1 hineinströmen kann und so die auf der Warenauslage 3 aufliegende Ware befeuchtet.At the free end of the holding profile 19 to the goods Ausausaum the cover 21 of the steam outlet 13 is mounted by means of a pivot bearing 20. The cover 21 is as well as the holding profile 19 designed as an extruded profile.
