Definitions
- the invention relates to a goods presentation container, in particular a cooling rack, with a housing, and with at least one roller-type cover for closing an access opening in the housing, wherein the cover has at least one seal arranged at the edge.
- Goods presentation containers are generally used for stocking and advertising of goods, especially food in shops.
- a refrigerated goods presentation container ie one which regularly stores refrigerated foodstuffs for direct customer removal and for this purpose usually has an integrated cooling device.
- Chilled goods display containers are generally refrigerated shelves, ie open refrigerators with one or more shelves. In this way, foods that require permanent refrigeration are kept easily accessible to customers. Access to such refrigerated shelves is made possible via the at least one access opening.
- closed refrigerators for example, open refrigerators or refrigerated shelves constantly exchange with the usually warmer ambient air inside the shop. For this reason, the energy consumption in such open refrigerators or shelves is significantly higher than that of closed refrigerators.
- refrigerated shelves in which the access opening can be closed, for example by glass revolving doors or so-called night blinds.
- the night blinds are especially outside the shop opening hours for use.
- the glass hinged doors ensure a relatively low energy loss during the entire operation.
- the known refrigeration device has a heat-insulating cover formed by longitudinally displaceable rolloartig contiguous contiguous also heat-insulating elements is formed.
- the access opening has a total thermally insulating trained cover and can be closed with the help of this cover.
- roller blinds are guided in grooves longitudinally displaceable.
- the grooves are located within the mutually facing sides of the side walls and are preferably formed circumferentially along the peripheral edge of the side walls.
- a refrigerator is described in which the door is designed as a known louvered roller door. This has an insulating insert between two flexible outer walls. In addition, the front in the closing direction of the door leading edge has a seal. This is a hollow, U-shaped rubber profile.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a goods presentation container so that any energy losses are minimized with a structurally simple design.
- the invention proposes in a generic Tire sharingations employer that a deformation device is provided for the seal, which threads the seal in the gap between the cover and the housing and / or between two covers.
- the gap or slot remaining between the cover and, for example, the housing is first closed with the seal additionally arranged on the cover at the edge.
- the goods presentation container with, for example, two or be equipped more in the longitudinal extent of the housing adjacent covers.
- the two or more covers can usually be moved transversely to the longitudinal extent of the housing. If the two covers adjoin one another in the immediate vicinity, the problem arises of closing the slot or gap necessarily formed between the two immediately adjacent covers in order to minimize energy losses as much as possible.
- the invention refers back to a seal, which is arranged at the edge or on one or both side edges (side edges) of the cover, thus moves with the cover. This is usually true both for rolling up as well as rolling on, for example, a shaft that receives the cover.
- the invention expressly and advantageously dispenses with fixed rails between two adjacent covers.
- the one or more seals arranged at the edge ensure that any remaining gaps or slots between the adjacent covers or between the cover and the housing are reliably closed.
- the absence of additional rails improves flexibility. Because the access opening in the housing can be made virtually any size and requires, for example, no division into fixed predetermined sections or departments with each rail.
- the sealing effect can be improved because the seal is usually made of a flexible material. Thereby The gaps or slots are closed optimally and sealed so that energy losses are minimized.
- roller-blind cover is regularly a sheet-like cover, which is wound up and unwound, for example, on a shaft.
- This may be designed as a plastic sheet in the form of a roller blind or a plastic film.
- fold the cover for the storage and unfold for the cover of the access opening. If enough space is available, this can also be dispensed with entirely and the cover is - similar to a sectional door - stored in the housing in the extended state langerstreckt.
- the term "roller blind” thus expresses that the cover can be pulled up and lowered and has the necessary flexibility for this purpose. Because in this process, the cover is deflected, usually by about 90 °.
- the roller blind can in turn be constructed of individual mat-like and articulated interconnected roller blind rods.
- the roller poles are usually made of plastic.
- hollow profiles are used.
- the hollow profiles are equipped with a heat-insulating core, so that overall special energy dissipation properties of the cover are observed.
- the seal is usually realized at a lower edge and / or side edge of the cover.
- the seal can be connected to the cover (detachable). This may be done adhesively or by resorting to fasteners.
- the seal is designed independently of the cover. In any case, that is Designed so that the seal with the cover is moved. D. h., Any resulting example when rolling the cover from the shaft column are automatically closed by the mitbewegte with the cover seal when the cover assumes its fully unrolled or unwound position.
- the seal can of course be moved independently of the cover, as long as it is ensured that the seal moves together with the cover more or less synchronously.
- the seal which is typically made of a flexible material, generally closes a gap between the cover and the housing. In addition or as an alternative, as described, the seal can also close a gap between two adjacent or adjacently adjacent covers.
- the seal is regularly equipped with at least one plant leg.
- This plant leg abuts against the lower edge and / or side edge of the cover.
- Usually two plant legs are realized. These plant legs are usually found on both sides of a base leg arranged therebetween. In this way, the two bearing limbs in connection with the base leg are capable of clasping the lower edge and / or the side edge of the cover.
- the seal has at least one elastic leg in addition to the at least one bearing leg.
- This elastic leg is usually arranged on the base leg or coincides with this. It has proven useful if the elastic leg has a width in cross section, which is adapted to the width of the cover. In this way, the cover and the seal provided on the lower edge and / or the side edge together, as it were, form a mat or mat-like structure of equal thickness. This results in a homogeneous visual appearance and is facilitated by the way retrofitting existing housing with access opening.
- the elastic leg of the seal is elastically yielding in the longitudinal extent and / or transverse extent of the cover. In most cases, one will work with a resilient in the longitudinal extent of the cover elastically leg of the seal when the seal is provided at the lower edge of the cover. In contrast, an elastically yielding embodiment of the elastic leg of the seal is recommended in transverse extent of the cover in the event that the seal is realized on the side edge of the cover.
- the elastic leg is usually a hollow-chamber profile, a brush seal or else a solid rubber lip which has the required elasticity properties.
- a brush seal or else a solid rubber lip which has the required elasticity properties.
- several brush seals, hollow chamber profiles, etc. - also in combination - find use.
- the seal is known to be moved together with the cover, even if it is designed independently of the cover. This can be done so that the seal is not connected to the cover and completely independent of this, for example, on the already mentioned shaft up and unwound.
- a separate storage unit for the seal so it must not necessarily resort to a wave.
- the invention comprises an at least selectively fixed connection of the seal to the cover, for example by means of one or more fastening means.
- a depletion device is designed for the direction.
- the deformation device for the seal is designed to be stationary. With the aid of this stationary deformation device, the seal is in the gap to be closed threaded. This Einfädelungsvorgang is usually done when unwinding the cover of the shaft. For in this process, the seal with the cover is moved and deformed by means of the stationary deformation means so that it fills the gap to be closed.
- the deformation device does not necessarily have to be designed stationary, but could just as well be moved along with the cover or the seal.
- the stationary design of the deforming means is suitable because the seal is deformed so elastically when passing this deforming means that it can be inserted into the gap to be closed.
- the seal is resiliently returned and releasably connected to the cover. D. h., The seal is applied automatically after passing through the deformation device to the lower edge and / or the side edge of the respective cover.
- the deforming device With the aid of the deforming device, one of the abutment limbs or the two abutment limbs is deformed so that the base of the seal can completely or almost completely fill the forming gap.
- a goods presentation container which is particularly suitable as a cooling rack.
- the cover for closing the access opening is usually made to close the shop, for example, the shaft to close the access opening and minimize energy losses by replacing the circulating mostly inside the goods presentation container cooling air with the outside ambient air.
- the cover In this closed state of the cover any and remaining column to the housing or between two immediately adjacent adjacent covers by the inventively provided edge seal are reliably closed.
- Virtually arbitrarily large access openings can be mastered here and the cover can preferably be retrofitted. This is particularly due to the fact that the individual covers practically do without side rails.
- the necessary stability is ensured especially in the closed state of the respective cover.
- This is made available, for example, by virtue of the fact that two directly adjacent covers undergo a mechanical coupling with one another by the seal which is advantageously realized between them.
- the respective cover does not need to be adapted to a specific compartment size of the housing, because - as described - is explicitly dispensed with the otherwise used in the prior art side rails and can be dispensed with.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Warenpräsentationsbehälter, insbesondere ein Kühlregal, mit einem Gehäuse, und mit wenigstens einer rolloartigen Abdeckung zum Verschließen einer Zugangsöffnung in dem Gehäuse, wobei die Abdeckung zumindest eine randseitig angeordnete Dichtung aufweist.The invention relates to a goods presentation container, in particular a cooling rack, with a housing, and with at least one roller-type cover for closing an access opening in the housing, wherein the cover has at least one seal arranged at the edge.
Warenpräsentationsbehälter dienen allgemein zur Bevorratung und auch Bewerbung von Waren, insbesondere Lebensmitteln in Verkaufslokalen. Vorliegend geht es primär um einen gekühlten Warenpräsentationsbehälter, also einen solchen, welcher regelmäßig gekühlte Lebensmittel für die unmittelbare Kundenentnahme bevorratet und zu diesem Zweck üblicherweise eine integrierte Kühleinrichtung aufweist. Bei gekühlten Warenpräsentationsbehältern handelt es sich im Allgemeinen um Kühlregale, also offene Kühlgeräte mit einem oder mehreren Regalböden. Auf diese Weise werden Lebensmittel, die einer dauerhaften Kühlung bedürfen, für Kunden leicht zugänglich aufbewahrt. Der Zugang zu solchen Kühlregalen wird über die wenigstens eine Zugangsöffnung ermöglicht.Goods presentation containers are generally used for stocking and advertising of goods, especially food in shops. In the present case, it is primarily a matter of a refrigerated goods presentation container, ie one which regularly stores refrigerated foodstuffs for direct customer removal and for this purpose usually has an integrated cooling device. Chilled goods display containers are generally refrigerated shelves, ie open refrigerators with one or more shelves. In this way, foods that require permanent refrigeration are kept easily accessible to customers. Access to such refrigerated shelves is made possible via the at least one access opening.
Im Unterschied zu beispielsweise geschlossenen Kühlgeräten findet bei offenen Kühlgeräten bzw. Kühlregalen ein ständiger Austausch mit der meistens wärmeren Umgebungsluft innerhalb des Ladenlokals statt. Aus diesem Grund ist der Energieverbrauch bei solchen offenen Kühlgeräten bzw. Kühlregalen deutlich höher als derjenige bei geschlossenen Kühlgeräten. Zu diesem Zweck setzt man in der Praxis vermehrt Kühlregale ein, bei denen die Zugangsöffnung beispielsweise durch Glasdrehtüren oder so genannte Nachtrollos verschlossen werden kann. Die Nachtrollos kommen insbesondere außerhalb der Ladenöffnungszeiten zum Einsatz. Dagegen sorgen die Glasdrehtüren während des gesamten Betriebes für einen relativ geringen Energieverlust.In contrast to closed refrigerators, for example, open refrigerators or refrigerated shelves constantly exchange with the usually warmer ambient air inside the shop. For this reason, the energy consumption in such open refrigerators or shelves is significantly higher than that of closed refrigerators. For this purpose, one increasingly uses in practice refrigerated shelves, in which the access opening can be closed, for example by glass revolving doors or so-called night blinds. The night blinds are especially outside the shop opening hours for use. In contrast, the glass hinged doors ensure a relatively low energy loss during the entire operation.
Das gilt allerdings nur für den Fall, dass eine geringe Kundenfrequenz beobachtet wird. Denn bei hoher Kundenfrequenz müssen die Glastüren bzw. Glasdrehtüren oft geöffnet werden, sodass die Energieeffizienz deutlich verschlechtert wird. Außerdem sind solche Glastüren mit dem Nachteil verbunden, dass im Bereich des Kunden eine Sogwirkung durch die von außen eindringende Warmluft beobachtet wird. Ganz abgesehen davon stellen Glastüren oder auch Glasdrehtüren während der Kundennutzung eine Barriere für den jeweiligen Kunden dar und stören den Abverkauf.However, this only applies in the event that a low customer frequency is observed. Because with high customer frequency, the glass doors or glass revolving doors often have to be opened, so that energy efficiency is significantly worsened. In addition, such glass doors are associated with the disadvantage that in the area of the customer a suction effect is observed by the outside penetrating warm air. Quite apart from that, glass doors or glass turntables during customer use are a barrier for the respective customer and disrupt the sale.

Die beiden an dieser Stelle realisierten Hohlkammer-Rollos werden in Nuten längsverschieblich geführt. Die Nuten finden sich innerhalb der aneinander zugekehrten Seiten der Seitenwände und sind vorzugsweise längs des Umfangsrandes der Seitenwände umlaufend ausgebildet. Dadurch wird möglicherweise eine einwandfreie Führung des Rollos erreicht, allerdings kann eine solche Lösung nicht beispielsweise nachgerüstet werden. Außerdem verfolgt die bekannte Lehre nach der

Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, einen derartigen Warenpräsentationsbehälter so weiter zu entwickeln, dass etwaige Energieverluste bei konstruktiv einfachem Aufbau minimiert sind.The invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a goods presentation container so that any energy losses are minimized with a structurally simple design.
Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung schlägt die Erfindung bei einem gattungsgemäßen Warenpräsentationsbehälter vor, dass eine Verformungseinrichtung für die Dichtung vorgesehen ist, welche die Dichtung in den Spalt zwischen der Abdeckung und dem Gehäuse und/oder zwischen zwei Abdeckungen einfädelt.To solve this technical problem, the invention proposes in a generic Warenpräsentationsbehälter that a deformation device is provided for the seal, which threads the seal in the gap between the cover and the housing and / or between two covers.
Erfindungsgemäß wird also zunächst einmal der zwischen der Abdeckung und beispielsweise dem Gehäuse verbleibende Spalt oder Schlitz mit der zusätzlich an der Abdeckung randseitig angeordneten Dichtung verschlossen. Das gilt auch für einen etwaigen Schlitz oder Spalt zwischen mehreren Abdeckungen. Tatsächlich kann der Warenpräsentationsbehälter mit beispielsweise zwei oder mehr in Längserstreckung des Gehäuses benachbarten Abdeckungen ausgerüstet werden. Dabei lassen sich die beiden oder die mehreren Abdeckungen meistens jeweils quer zur Längserstreckung des Gehäuses verfahren. Sofern die beiden Abdeckungen in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft aneinander anschließen, stellt sich das Problem, den hier zwangsläufig entstehenden Schlitz oder Spalt zwischen den beiden unmittelbar benachbarten Abdeckungen zu verschließen, um Energieverluste so gering wie möglich einzustellen.According to the invention, therefore, the gap or slot remaining between the cover and, for example, the housing is first closed with the seal additionally arranged on the cover at the edge. This also applies to any slot or gap between multiple covers. In fact, the goods presentation container with, for example, two or be equipped more in the longitudinal extent of the housing adjacent covers. In this case, the two or more covers can usually be moved transversely to the longitudinal extent of the housing. If the two covers adjoin one another in the immediate vicinity, the problem arises of closing the slot or gap necessarily formed between the two immediately adjacent covers in order to minimize energy losses as much as possible.
Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, der an dieser Stelle üblicherweise mit feststehenden Schienen arbeitet, greift die Erfindung auf eine Dichtung zurück, die randseitig bzw. an einem oder beiden Seitenrändern (Seitenkanten) der Abdeckung angeordnet ist, sich folglich mit der Abdeckung mitbewegt. Das gilt meistens sowohl für das Aufrollen wie auch das Abrollen auf beispielsweise einer Welle, die die Abdeckung aufnimmt.
Jedenfalls verzichtet die Erfindung ausdrücklich und vorteilhaft auf feststehende Schienen zwischen zwei benachbarten Abdeckungen. Ebenso kann eine randseitige Schiene oder können mehrere randseitige Schienen entfallen. Dadurch lässt sich die Abdeckung insgesamt und problemlos nachrüstbar gestalten.In contrast to the prior art, which operates at this point usually with fixed rails, the invention refers back to a seal, which is arranged at the edge or on one or both side edges (side edges) of the cover, thus moves with the cover. This is usually true both for rolling up as well as rolling on, for example, a shaft that receives the cover.
In any case, the invention expressly and advantageously dispenses with fixed rails between two adjacent covers. Likewise, a marginal rail or can account for multiple edge-side rails. This makes the cover overall and easily retrofit.
Zugleich stellt die eine oder stellen die mehreren randseitig angeordneten Dichtungen sicher, dass etwaige verbleibende Spalte oder Schlitze zwischen den benachbarten Abdeckungen oder zwischen der Abdeckung und dem Gehäuse zuverlässig verschlossen werden. Durch den Verzicht auf ergänzende Schienen wird die Flexibilität verbessert. Denn die Zugangsöffnung in dem Gehäuse kann praktisch beliebig groß gestaltet werden und erfordert beispielsweise keine Einteilung in fest vorgegebene Sektionen oder Abteilungen mit jeweils Trennschiene. Zugleich lässt sich die Dichtungswirkung verbessern, weil die Dichtung in der Regel aus einem flexiblen Material hergestellt ist. Dadurch werden die Spalte oder Schlitze optimal und dichtend verschlossen, sodass Energieverluste minimiert werden.At the same time, the one or more seals arranged at the edge ensure that any remaining gaps or slots between the adjacent covers or between the cover and the housing are reliably closed. The absence of additional rails improves flexibility. Because the access opening in the housing can be made virtually any size and requires, for example, no division into fixed predetermined sections or departments with each rail. At the same time, the sealing effect can be improved because the seal is usually made of a flexible material. Thereby The gaps or slots are closed optimally and sealed so that energy losses are minimized.
Hierzu trägt ergänzend bei, dass es sich bei der rolloartigen Abdeckung regelmäßig um eine bahnförmige Abdeckung handelt, die beispielsweise auf einer Welle auf- und abgewickelt wird. Diese mag als Kunststoffbahn in Gestalt eines Rollos oder auch einer Kunststofffolie ausgeführt sein. Neben einer Bevorratung der rolloartigen Abdeckung in einem Wickel ist es auch möglich, die Abdeckung zusammenzufalten für die Bevorratung und zu entfalten für die Abdeckung der Zugangsöffnung. Sofern genügend Raum zur Verfügung steht, kann hierauf auch gänzlich verzichtet werden und die Abdeckung wird - ähnlich einem Sektionaltor - in dem Gehäuse in hochgezogenem Zustand langerstreckt bevorratet. Der Begriff "rolloartig" drückt also aus, dass die Abdeckung heraufgezogen und herabgelassen werden kann und über die hierzu nötige Flexibilität verfügt. Denn bei diesem Vorgang wird die Abdeckung umgelenkt, meistens um ca. 90°.In addition, it contributes to the fact that the roller-blind cover is regularly a sheet-like cover, which is wound up and unwound, for example, on a shaft. This may be designed as a plastic sheet in the form of a roller blind or a plastic film. In addition to a stocking of the roller blind-like cover in a roll, it is also possible to fold the cover for the storage and unfold for the cover of the access opening. If enough space is available, this can also be dispensed with entirely and the cover is - similar to a sectional door - stored in the housing in the extended state langerstreckt. The term "roller blind" thus expresses that the cover can be pulled up and lowered and has the necessary flexibility for this purpose. Because in this process, the cover is deflected, usually by about 90 °.
Das Rollo kann seinerseits aus einzelnen mattenartig und gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Rollostäben aufgebaut sein. Die Rollostäbe sind in der Regel aus Kunststoff gefertigt. Dabei kommen üblicherweise Hohlprofile zum Einsatz. Außerdem hat es sich bewährt, wenn die Hohlprofile mit einem wärmeisolierenden Kern ausgerüstet sind, sodass insgesamt besondere Energiedämmeigenschaften der Abdeckung beobachtet werden.The roller blind can in turn be constructed of individual mat-like and articulated interconnected roller blind rods. The roller poles are usually made of plastic. Usually hollow profiles are used. In addition, it has been proven that the hollow profiles are equipped with a heat-insulating core, so that overall special energy dissipation properties of the cover are observed.
Wie bereits dargelegt, wird die Dichtung in der Regel an einer Unterkante und/oder Seitenkante der Abdeckung realisiert. Dabei kann die Dichtung an die Abdeckung (lösbar) angeschlossen sein. Das mag adhäsiv oder unter Rückgriff auf Befestigungsmittel erfolgen. Es ist alternativ hierzu aber auch möglich, dass die Dichtung unabhängig von der Abdeckung ausgelegt ist. In jedem Fall ist die Auslegung so getroffen, dass die Dichtung mit der Abdeckung mitbewegt wird. D. h., etwaige beispielsweise beim Abrollen der Abdeckung von der Welle entstehende Spalte werden durch die mit der Abdeckung mitbewegte Dichtung automatisch verschlossen, sobald die Abdeckung ihre vollständig abgerollte oder abgewickelte Stellung einnimmt. Dabei kann die Dichtung selbstverständlich unabhängig von der Abdeckung bewegt werden, solange sichergestellt ist, dass sich die Dichtung insgesamt mit der Abdeckung mehr oder minder synchron mitbewegt.As already stated, the seal is usually realized at a lower edge and / or side edge of the cover. The seal can be connected to the cover (detachable). This may be done adhesively or by resorting to fasteners. Alternatively, it is also possible that the seal is designed independently of the cover. In any case, that is Designed so that the seal with the cover is moved. D. h., Any resulting example when rolling the cover from the shaft column are automatically closed by the mitbewegte with the cover seal when the cover assumes its fully unrolled or unwound position. Of course, the seal can of course be moved independently of the cover, as long as it is ensured that the seal moves together with the cover more or less synchronously.
Die in der Regel aus einem flexiblen Material hergestellte Dichtung verschließt allgemein einen Spalt zwischen der Abdeckung und dem Gehäuse. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Dichtung wie beschrieben auch einen Spalt zwischen zwei benachbarten bzw. in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft aneinander anschließenden Abdeckungen verschließen.The seal, which is typically made of a flexible material, generally closes a gap between the cover and the housing. In addition or as an alternative, as described, the seal can also close a gap between two adjacent or adjacently adjacent covers.
Um dies im Detail zu erreichen, ist die Dichtung regelmäßig mit wenigstens einem Anlageschenkel ausgerüstet. Dieser Anlageschenkel liegt an der Unterkante und/oder Seitenkante der Abdeckung an. Meistens sind zwei Anlageschenkel realisiert. Diese Anlageschenkel finden sich üblicherweise beidseitig eines dazwischen angeordneten Basisschenkels. Auf diese Weise sind die beiden Anlageschenkel in Verbindung mit dem Basisschenkel in der Lage, die Unterkante und/oder die Seitenkante der Abdeckung klammerartig zu umgreifen.To achieve this in detail, the seal is regularly equipped with at least one plant leg. This plant leg abuts against the lower edge and / or side edge of the cover. Mostly two plant legs are realized. These plant legs are usually found on both sides of a base leg arranged therebetween. In this way, the two bearing limbs in connection with the base leg are capable of clasping the lower edge and / or the side edge of the cover.
Um die bereits beschriebene Flexibilität der Dichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen, verfügt die Dichtung über wenigstens einen Elastikschenkel neben dem zumindest einen Anlageschenkel. Dieser Elastikschenkel ist in der Regel an dem Basisschenkel angeordnet oder fällt mit diesem zusammen. Dabei hat es sich bewährt, wenn der Elastikschenkel im Querschnitt eine Breite aufweist, welche an die Breite der Abdeckung angepasst ist. Auf diese Weise formen die Abdeckung und die an der Unterkante und/oder der Seitenkante vorgesehene Dichtung zusammengenommen gleichsam eine Matte oder ein mattenartiges Gebilde durchgängig gleicher Stärke. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein homogenes optisches Erscheinungsbild und wird im Übrigen die Nachrüstung bestehender Gehäuse mit Zugangsöffnung erleichtert.In order to provide the already described flexibility of the seal, the seal has at least one elastic leg in addition to the at least one bearing leg. This elastic leg is usually arranged on the base leg or coincides with this. It has proven useful if the elastic leg has a width in cross section, which is adapted to the width of the cover. In this way, the cover and the seal provided on the lower edge and / or the side edge together, as it were, form a mat or mat-like structure of equal thickness. This results in a homogeneous visual appearance and is facilitated by the way retrofitting existing housing with access opening.
Es hat sich bewährt, wenn der Elastikschenkel der Dichtung in Längserstreckung und/oder Quererstreckung der Abdeckung elastisch nachgebend ausgebildet ist. Meistens wird man mit einem in Längserstreckung der Abdeckung elastisch nachgiebigen Elastikschenkel der Dichtung dann arbeiten, wenn die Dichtung an der Unterkante der Abdeckung vorgesehen ist. Dagegen empfiehlt sich eine elastisch nachgebende Ausgestaltung des Elastikschenkels der Dichtung in Quererstreckung der Abdeckung für den Fall, dass die Dichtung an der Seitenkante der Abdeckung realisiert wird.It has proven useful if the elastic leg of the seal is elastically yielding in the longitudinal extent and / or transverse extent of the cover. In most cases, one will work with a resilient in the longitudinal extent of the cover elastically leg of the seal when the seal is provided at the lower edge of the cover. In contrast, an elastically yielding embodiment of the elastic leg of the seal is recommended in transverse extent of the cover in the event that the seal is realized on the side edge of the cover.
Um die elastische Nachgiebigkeit des Elastikschenkels im Detail zur Verfügung zu stellen, handelt es sich bei dem Elastikschenkel regelmäßig um ein Hohlkammerprofil, eine Bürstendichtung oder auch eine massive Gummilippe, welche die erforderlichen Elastizitätseigenschaften aufweist. Selbstverständlich können auch mehrere Bürstendichtungen, Hohlkammerprofile etc. - auch in Kombination - Verwendung finden.In order to provide the elastic resilience of the elastic leg in detail, the elastic leg is usually a hollow-chamber profile, a brush seal or else a solid rubber lip which has the required elasticity properties. Of course, several brush seals, hollow chamber profiles, etc. - also in combination - find use.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Dichtung bekanntermaßen zusammen mit der Abdeckung mitbewegt, auch wenn sie unabhängig von der Abdeckung ausgelegt ist. Das kann so erfolgen, dass die Dichtung keine Verbindung mit der Abdeckung eingeht und völlig unabhängig von dieser beispielsweise auf der bereits angesprochenen Welle auf- und abgewickelt wird. Selbstverständlich lässt sich auch eine eigene Vorratseinheit für die Dichtung denken, muss also nicht notwendigerweise auf eine Welle zurückgegriffen werden. Im Allgemeinen empfiehlt es sich jedoch, die Dichtung zumindest punktuell an die Abdeckung anzuschließen. Das kann lösbar geschehen, beispielsweise indem die Dichtung mit einem metallischen Streifen oder einem Streifen aus einem permanent magnetischen Material ausgerüstet wird. Sobald dieser metallische Streifen auf einen korrespondierenden permanent magnetischen Streifen an der Abdeckung trifft, wird die Dichtung magnetisch angezogen und haftet lösbar an der Abdeckung. Daneben ist es natürlich auch denkbar, die Dichtung adhäsiv mit der Abdeckung zu verbinden, beispielsweise durch eine zwischen der Dichtung und der Abdeckung eingebrachte Flüssigkeit oder ein vergleichbares Adhäsivmittel. Daneben umfasst die Erfindung einen zumindest punktuell festen Anschluss der Dichtung an die Abdeckung, beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines oder mehrerer Befestigungsmittel.According to the invention, the seal is known to be moved together with the cover, even if it is designed independently of the cover. This can be done so that the seal is not connected to the cover and completely independent of this, for example, on the already mentioned shaft up and unwound. Of course, one can also think of a separate storage unit for the seal, so it must not necessarily resort to a wave. In general, however, it is advisable to connect the seal at least selectively to the cover. This can be done detachably, for example by equipping the seal with a metallic strip or a strip of permanent magnetic material. As soon as this metallic strip strikes a corresponding permanently magnetic strip on the cover, the seal is magnetically attracted and removably adheres to the cover. In addition, it is of course also conceivable to adhesively connect the seal to the cover, for example by means of a liquid introduced between the seal and the cover or a comparable adhesive agent. In addition, the invention comprises an at least selectively fixed connection of the seal to the cover, for example by means of one or more fastening means.
Erfindungsgemäß wind eine Verparmungseinrichtung für die richtung ausgelegt.According to the invention, a depletion device is designed for the direction.
Im Rahmen einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist die Verformungseinrichtung für die Dichtung ortsfest ausgelegt. Mit Hilfe dieser ortsfesten Verformungseinrichtung wird die Dichtung in den zu verschließenden Spalt eingefädelt. Dieser Einfädelungsvorgang erfolgt in der Regel beim Abwickeln der Abdeckung von der Welle. Denn bei diesem Vorgang wird die Dichtung mit der Abdeckung mitbewegt und mit Hilfe der ortsfesten Verformungseinrichtung so verformt, dass sie den zu verschließenden Spalt ausfüllt. Selbstverständlich muss die Verformungseinrichtung nicht unbedingt ortsfest ausgelegt sein, sondern könnte genauso gut auch mit der Abdeckung bzw. der Dichtung mitbewegt werden. Die ortsfeste Auslegung der Verformungseinrichtung bietet sich jedoch an, weil die Dichtung beim Passieren dieser Verformungseinrichtung so elastisch verformt wird, dass sie in den zu verschließenden Spalt eingeführt werden kann. Sobald die Verformungseinrichtung von der Dichtung passiert worden ist, wird die Dichtung elastisch zurückgestellt und ist lösbar mit der Abdeckung verbunden. D. h., die Dichtung legt sich nach Passieren der Verformungseinrichtung selbsttätig an die Unterkante und/oder die Seitenkante der jeweiligen Abdeckung an.In the context of a particularly preferred embodiment, the deformation device for the seal is designed to be stationary. With the aid of this stationary deformation device, the seal is in the gap to be closed threaded. This Einfädelungsvorgang is usually done when unwinding the cover of the shaft. For in this process, the seal with the cover is moved and deformed by means of the stationary deformation means so that it fills the gap to be closed. Of course, the deformation device does not necessarily have to be designed stationary, but could just as well be moved along with the cover or the seal. However, the stationary design of the deforming means is suitable because the seal is deformed so elastically when passing this deforming means that it can be inserted into the gap to be closed. Once the deforming means has passed the seal, the seal is resiliently returned and releasably connected to the cover. D. h., The seal is applied automatically after passing through the deformation device to the lower edge and / or the side edge of the respective cover.
Dabei wird man meistens mit einer im Querschnitt H-förmigen Dichtung arbeiten, die über insgesamt vier Anlageschenkel und einen mittigen Basisschenkel verfügt. Zumindest zwei sich in Bezug auf den Basisschenkel gegenüberliegende, meistens diametral gegenüberliegende, Anlageschenkel sind notwendig. Mit Hilfe der Verformungseinrichtung wird nun der eine Anlageschenkel oder werden die beiden Anlageschenkel so verformt, dass die Basis der Dichtung den sich bildenden Spalt ganz oder nahezu ganz ausfüllen kann. Nach Passieren der Verformungseinrichtung federn die zunächst für das Einfädeln mit Hilfe der Verformungseinrichtung verschwenkten Anlageschenkel oder der wenigstens eine Anlageschenkel elastisch zurück und sorgen insgesamt dafür, dass die Dichtung an der Seitenkante und/oder der Unterkante der Abdeckung die gewünschte lösbare Festlegung erfährt.One will usually work with a cross-sectionally H-shaped seal, which has a total of four plant legs and a central base leg. At least two, with respect to the base leg opposite, usually diametrically opposite, plant leg are necessary. With the aid of the deforming device, one of the abutment limbs or the two abutment limbs is deformed so that the base of the seal can completely or almost completely fill the forming gap. After passing through the deforming device, the bearing limbs initially pivoted for the threading with the aid of the deformation device or the at least one bearing limb elastically spring back and overall ensure that the seal on the side edge and / or the lower edge of the cover experiences the desired releasable fixation.
Da die Verformung der einen oder der beiden Anlageschenkel der Dichtung lediglich temporär mit Hilfe der Verformungseinrichtung beim Abrollen und/oder beim Aufrollen vorgenommen wird, kann eine lange Lebensdauer der Dichtung gewährleistet werden. Denn insbesondere in abgerolltem oder abgewickeltem Zustand erfährt die Dichtung keine Verformung (mehr). Dadurch wird die Lebensdauer der Dichtung nicht negativ beeinflusst.Since the deformation of the one or both bearing limbs of the seal only temporarily by means of the deformation device during unrolling and / or When rolling up, a long life of the seal can be ensured. Because especially in unrolled or unwound condition, the seal undergoes no deformation (more). As a result, the life of the seal is not adversely affected.
Im Ergebnis wird ein Warenpräsentationsbehälter zur Verfügung gestellt, der sich insbesondere als Kühlregal eignet. Dabei wird die Abdeckung zum Verschließen der Zugangsöffnung meistens zum Ladenschluss von beispielsweise der Welle vorgenommen, um die Zugangsöffnung zu verschließen und Energieverluste durch einen Austausch der meistens im Inneren des Warenpräsentationsbehälters umlaufenden Kühlluft mit der äußeren Umgebungsluft zu minimieren. In diesem geschlossenen Zustand der Abdeckung werden etwaige und noch verbleibende Spalte zum Gehäuse oder zwischen zwei in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft aneinander anschließenden Abdeckungen durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene randseitige Dichtung zuverlässig verschlossen. Dabei können praktisch beliebig große Zugangsöffnungen beherrscht werden und lässt sich die Abdeckung vorzugsweise nachrüsten. Hierzu trägt besonders der Umstand bei, dass die einzelnen Abdeckungen praktisch ohne Seitenschienen auskommen.As a result, a goods presentation container is provided, which is particularly suitable as a cooling rack. In this case, the cover for closing the access opening is usually made to close the shop, for example, the shaft to close the access opening and minimize energy losses by replacing the circulating mostly inside the goods presentation container cooling air with the outside ambient air. In this closed state of the cover any and remaining column to the housing or between two immediately adjacent adjacent covers by the inventively provided edge seal are reliably closed. Virtually arbitrarily large access openings can be mastered here and the cover can preferably be retrofitted. This is particularly due to the fact that the individual covers practically do without side rails.
Dennoch ist insbesondere in geschlossenem Zustand der jeweiligen Abdeckung die nötige Stabilität gewährleistet. Diese wird beispielsweise dadurch zur Verfügung gestellt, dass zwei unmittelbar benachbarte Abdeckungen durch die zwischen ihnen vorteilhaft realisierte Dichtung miteinander eine mechanische Kopplung erfahren. Auf diese Weise braucht die jeweilige Abdeckung nicht an eine bestimmte Fachgröße des Gehäuses angepasst zu werden, weil - wie beschrieben - auf die sonst beim Stand der Technik eingesetzten Seitenschienen ausdrücklich verzichtet wird und auch verzichtet werden kann. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.Nevertheless, the necessary stability is ensured especially in the closed state of the respective cover. This is made available, for example, by virtue of the fact that two directly adjacent covers undergo a mechanical coupling with one another by the seal which is advantageously realized between them. In this way, the respective cover does not need to be adapted to a specific compartment size of the housing, because - as described - is explicitly dispensed with the otherwise used in the prior art side rails and can be dispensed with. Here are the main benefits.

In den Figuren ist ein Warenpräsentationsbehälter dargestellt, der in seinem grundsätzlichen Aufbau über ein Gehäuse 1 sowie im Gehäuse 1 vorgesehene mehrere Regalböden 2 verfügt. Die Regalböden 2 sind zur Aufnahme gekühlter Lebensmittel eingerichtet. Man erkennt, dass sich das Gehäuse 1 aus zwei Gehäuseseitenwänden 1a, einer Gehäusedecke 1b, einem Gehäusefuß 1 c und schließlich einer Gehäuserückwand 1d zusammensetzt. Dadurch verfügt das Gehäuse 1 über eine gleichsam schalenartigen Charakter, welcher an seiner Frontseite eine Zugangsöffnung 3 offen lässt. Auf diese Weise wird Kunden ein ungehinderter Zugriff auf Lebensmittel ermöglicht, die auf dem jeweiligen Regalboden 2 angeordnet sind. Anhand der
Der dargestellte Warenpräsentationsbehälter verfügt im Ausführungsbeispiel nach der
Bei dem Warenpräsentationsbehälter im Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich um ein Kühlregal. Tatsächlich sorgt eine Kühllufteinheit 4 im Bereich der Gehäuserückwand 1d dafür, dass gekühlte Luft im Innern des Gehäuses 1 zirkuliert, wie dies die
Im Normalbetrieb, d. h. üblicherweise während der Ladenöffnungszeiten und bei geöffneter Zugangsöffnung 3, kommt es zu einem Energieaustausch zwischen der Kühlluft im Innern des Gehäuses 1 und der demgegenüber wärmeren Umgebungsluft. Um einen damit einhergehenden Energieverlust zumindest während der Ladungsschlusszeiten zu minimieren, sind im Ausführungsbeispiel insgesamt drei rolloartige Abdeckungen 6 in Längserstreckung des Gehäuses 1 vorgesehen. Die einzelnen Abdeckungen 6 lassen sich quer zur Längserstreckung verfahren, um die zugehörige Zugangsöffnung 3 zu öffnen oder zu verschließen.In normal operation, d. H. Usually during the shop opening times and when the access opening 3 is open, there is an exchange of energy between the cooling air inside the housing 1 and the contrast warmer ambient air. In order to minimize an associated energy loss, at least during the charge closing times, a total of three roller-blind-
Rolloartige Abdeckung 6 meint im Rahmen der Erfindung jede flexible Materialbahn, die beim Wechsel um einer Vorratsstellung und geöffneter Zugangsöffnung 3 in eine Arbeitsstellung mit geschlossener Zugangsöffnung 3 umgelenkt wird bzw. umgelenkt werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck kann die Abdeckung 6 in Längserstreckung beispielsweise unterhalb oder oberhalb der Gehäusedecke 1b bevorratet werden. Auch eine gefaltete oder aufgewickelte Bevorratung ist denkbar.
Bei der jeweiligen Abdeckung 6 handelt es sich im Beispielfall um ein Rollo aus mattenartig miteinander verbundenen Rollostäben. Die Rollostäbe sind regelmäßig als Hohlprofilstäbe ausgeführt und im Innern mit einer Isolationsfüllung ausgerüstet. Dadurch können Energieverluste bei geschlossenem Rollo 6 bzw. geschlossener Abdeckung 6 minimiert werden.The
Das jeweilige Rollo 6 bzw. die Abdeckung 6 ist unabhängig vom Gehäuse 1 ausgelegt. Zu diesem Zweck verfügt die Abdeckung respektive das Rollo 6 über ein eigenes. Rollogehäuse 7, welches in
Man erkennt, dass das Gehäuse 7 bzw. Abdeckungsgehäuse oder Rollogehäuse 7 ebenso wie die Abdeckung 6 außerhalb des eigentlichen Gehäuses 1 angeordnet sind. Folglich sind das Gehäuse 7 und die Abdeckung 6 für eine Nachrüstlösung prädestiniert. Tatsächlich ist das Rollogehäuse 7 und mit ihm die Abdeckung 6 auf der Gehäusedecke 1b des Gehäuses 1 angeordnet, was natürlich nicht einschränkend gilt.It can be seen that the
Die gehäuseunabhängige Auslegung der Abdeckung 6 von dem Gehäuse 1 wird durch eine angedeutete Führungseinrichtung 10 unterstützt. Bei dieser Führungseinrichtung 10 handelt es sich um ein Auflageelement, eine Auflageschiene oder dergleichen, über welche die Abdeckung 6 beim Auf- und Abwickeln von der Welle 8 gleitet und in gewisser Weise geführt wird. Eine zusätzliche seitliche Führung der Abdeckung 6 in beispielsweise Seitenschienen findet im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels nicht statt oder allenfalls in Nuten in den Gehäuseseitenwänden 1a.The housing-independent design of the
Die dargestellten drei und in Längserstreckung des Gehäuses 1 benachbarten Abdeckungen 6 werden über die gemeinsame Antriebseinrichtung 8, 9 betätigt. Dadurch werden die drei Abdeckungen 6 gemeinsam aufgewickelt und abgewickelt. Das ist allerdings nicht einschränkend zu verstehen.The illustrated three and adjacent in the longitudinal extent of the housing 1
Jedenfalls führt der Verzicht auf Schienen im Randbereich des Gehäuses 1 bzw. an den Gehäuseseitenwänden 1a einerseits und andererseits zwischen den jeweils unmittelbar benachbart aneinander anschließenden Abdeckungen 6 dazu, dass in diesen Bereichen zwangsläufig Spalte oder Schlitze zwischen den Abdeckungen 6 oder zwischen der jeweiligen Abdeckung 6 und dem Gehäuse 1 entstehen. Diese Spalte oder Schlitze werden nun erfindungsgemäß sämtlich oder zumindest teilweise mit Hilfe einer oder mehrerer Dichtungen 11 geschlossen. Beispiele für solche Dichtungen 11 sind in den
Im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels und nicht einschränkend verfügt die jeweilige Abdeckung 6 über je eine Dichtung 11 an ihrer Unterkante 6a sowie an ihren beiden Seitenkanten 6b. Selbstverständlich könnte auch nur eine Dichtung 11 an der Unterkante 6a oder einer der beiden Seitenkanten 6b bzw. könnten lediglich zwei Dichtungen 11 an beiden Seitenkanten 6b realisiert werden. In jedem Fall verfügt die Abdeckung 6 Ober die wenigstens eine randseitig angeordnete Dichtung 11.In the context of the exemplary embodiment and not restricting the
Dabei mag die Dichtung 11 an die Abdeckung 6 lösbar oder unlösbar angeschlossen sein. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass die Dichtung 11 völlig unabhängig und ohne irgendeine mechanische Kopplung zu der Abdeckung 6 ausgelegt ist. In jedem Fall besteht die Dichtung 11 aus einem flexiblen Material und sorgt dafür, dass der zwangsläufig entstehende Spalt zwischen der jeweiligen Abdeckung 6 und dem Gehäuse 1 und/oder zwischen zwei in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft anschließenden Abdeckungen 6 verschlossen wird.In this case, the
Zu diesem Zweck ist die Dichtung 11 mit wenigstens einem Anlageschenkel 11a ausgerĂĽstet. Meistens sind zwei Anlageschenkel 11 a realisiert, wie die
Daneben ist es aber auch möglich, dass die beiden Anlageschenkel 11a sich gegenüberliegend an verschiedenen Abdeckungen 6 angeordnet sind, wie die
Die
Neben dem einen oder den mehreren Anlageschenkeln 11a verfügt die Dichtung 11 zusätzlich zu dem Basisschenkel 11b noch über einen Elastikschenkel 14. Im Beispiel nach den
In jedem Fall verfügt der Elastikschenkel 14 im Querschnitt über eine Breite B, welche an die Breite der Abdeckung 6 angepasst ist. Dadurch formen die Abdeckungen 6 und die jeweils zwischengeschalteten Dichtungen 11 eine insgesamt homogene Fläche praktisch durchgängiger Materialstärke.In any case, the
Der Elastikschenkel 14 ist ausweislich der AusfĂĽhrungsbeispiele nach den
In jedem Fall ist der Elastikschenkel 14 in Quererstreckung Q der Abdeckung 6 elastisch nachgebend ausgebildet, wenn die Dichtung 11 an der Unterkante 6a der Abdeckung 6 angebracht wird (vgl.
Um sicherzustellen, dass die grundsätzlich unabhängig von der jeweiligen Abdeckung 6 ausgelegte Dichtung 11 der Abdeckung 6 beim Auf- und Abwickeln von der Welle 8 folgt und auch folgen kann, hat es sich bewährt, wenn die Dichtung 11 zumindest punktuell an die Abdeckung 6 angeschlossen wird. Das erkennt man insbesondere in den
Die
Im Rahmen des AusfĂĽhrungsbeispiels nach den
Der zuvor beschriebene Vorgang mag ergänzend noch durch eine nicht ausdrücklich dargestellte Andrückvorrichtung unterstützt werden. Mit Hilfe der Andrückvorrichtung wird die Dichtung 11 durch den Spalt zwischen den Abdeckungen 6 hindurchgefädelt. Das gilt zumindest für die beiden außenseitigen Anlageschenkel 11a und die Basis 11b bzw. den Elastikschenkel 14. Meistens übernimmt die Funktion der Andrückvorrichtung auch die bereits beschriebene Verformungseinrichtung bzw. der Einfädeler 16.The above-described process may additionally be supported by a pressing device not expressly shown. With the help of the pressing device, the
Sobald die den nach unten in Schließrichtung bewegten Abdeckungen 6 folgende Dichtung 11 die Verformungseinrichtung 16 passiert hat, gehen die außenseitigen Anlageschenkel 11a in ihre ursprüngliche und in Verbindung mit den innenseitigen Anlageschenkeln 11a und der Basis 11b realisierte H-förmige Gestalt wieder über. Das heißt, die Anlageschenkel 11a bzw. die Dichtung 11 legt sich nach Passieren der Verformungseinrichtung 16 selbsttätig an die jeweiligen Seitenkanten 6b der benachbarten Abdeckungen 6 an. Dieser Zustand ist in der
Jedenfalls wird deutlich, dass die Dichtung 11 mit Hilfe der Verformungseinrichtung 16 in den Spalt zwischen die benachbarten Abdeckungen 6 eingefädelt wird und nach Passieren der Verformungseinrichtung 16 elastisch in ihre Ausgangsstellung unter gleichzeitiger Festlegung an den beiden Abdeckungen 6 zurückspringt. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass die Dichtung 11 in geschlossenem Zustand der Abdeckungen 6 keine Verformung durch die Verformungseinrichtung 16 mehr erfährt, sodass ihre Lebensdauer nicht beeinträchtigt wird.In any case, it is clear that the
