Un tel meuble est connu des documents
Dans un tel meuble d'exposition, encore appelé vitrine réfrigérée, l'humidificateur d'air, présent pour empêcher un assèchement trop rapide des produits, notamment alimentaires, exposés, entraîne souvent des ruissellements d'eau indésirables résultant de la grosseur des gouttelettes et oblige, du fait de la conception actuelle desdits meubles, à une vitesse de soufflage élevée, qui vient contrarier l'effet bénéfique sur l'assèchement devant résulter de la présence de l'humidificateur.In such a display cabinet, also called refrigerated showcase, the air humidifier, present to prevent too fast drying of products, especially food, exposed, often causes unwanted water runoff resulting from the size of the droplets and Due to the current design of said furniture, this requires a high blowing speed, which counteracts the beneficial effect on drying out due to the presence of the humidifier.
La présence d'humidité dans l'air peut également entraîner la prise en glace de l'eau, au niveau des moyens de refroidissement dudit air.The presence of moisture in the air can also cause the setting of ice water at the cooling means of said air.
Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un meuble d'exposition du type précité, dont la conception permet la production d'un brouillard d'eau homogène, associé à une vitesse de soufflage faible.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a display cabinet of the aforementioned type, whose design allows the production of a homogeneous water mist, associated with a low blowing speed.
À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un meuble d'exposition à froid ventilé pour la présentation de produits, tels que des produits alimentaires, le meuble comprenant un humidificateur d'air et au moins une enceinte ouverte ou fermée comprenant une zone supérieure d'exposition des produits et une zone inférieure technique contenant au moins partiellement des moyens de circulation forcée de l'air et des moyens de production de froid en vue d'un refroidissement dudit air, lesdites zones étant séparées l'une de l'autre au moins par un plateau de présentation des produits et communiquant entre elles au moins par une chambre disposée le long d'un des bords dit arrière de la zone supérieure d'exposition et par au moins une ouverture de reprise d'air disposée le long du bord opposé, dit avant, de ladite zone supérieure d'exposition, ladite chambre étant reliée en entrée, à la zone inférieure technique, et en sortie, à la zone supérieure d'exposition, pour une circulation en boucle de l'air entre lesdites zones, avec un flux d'air aller circulant au-dessus du ou des plateaux de présentation depuis la chambre vers la ou les ouvertures de reprise d'air, et un flux d'air retour circulant au-dessous du ou des plateaux de présentation depuis la ou les ouvertures de reprise d'air vers la chambre, ladite chambre contenant au moins un conduit raccordable audit humidificateur d'air, ce conduit étant un conduit diffuseur dont la paroi périphérique de délimitation est munie d'ouvertures appelées ouvertures latérales à travers lesquelles l'humidité produite par ledit humidificateur est apte à être introduite dans ladite chambre, caractérisé en ce que les ouvertures latérales du conduit sont disposées le long du côté du conduit opposé à celui faisant face à la zone supérieure d'exposition, et en ce que lesdites ouvertures latérales du conduit débouchent dans la chambre en un emplacement situé au-dessus du plan passant par le ou les plateaux de présentation.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a ventilated cold display cabinet for the presentation of products, such as food products, the cabinet comprising an air humidifier and at least one open or closed enclosure comprising an upper zone. for exposing the products and a lower technical zone containing at least partially means for forced circulation of the air and means for producing cold with a view to cooling said air, said zones being separated from each other at least by a display tray of the products and communicating with each other at least by a chamber disposed along one of the said rear edges of the upper exposure zone and by at least one air intake opening disposed along the opposite edge, said front, of said upper exposure zone, said chamber being connected at the input, to the lower technical zone, and at the output, to the upper exposure zone, for a circula looping the air between said zones, with a flow of air flowing over the presentation tray or trays from the chamber to the air intake opening or openings, and a return air flow flowing below the presentation tray (s) from the air intake opening (s) to the chamber, said chamber containing at least one duct connectable to said air humidifier, said duct being a diffuser duct whose peripheral delimiting wall is provided with openings called lateral openings through which the humidity produced by said humidifier is adapted to be introduced into said chamber, characterized in that the lateral openings of the duct are arranged along the side of the duct opposite to that facing the upper exposure zone, and in that said lateral openings of the duct open into the chamber at a location above the plane passing through the flat or flat presentation waters.
L'utilisation d'un conduit diffuseur permet d'obtenir un brouillard homogène à l'intérieur du volume de la chambre, et la présence de ce conduit à l'intérieur de la chambre permet de récupérer, à l'intérieur de la chambre, les éventuels ruissellements résultant de la présence de ce brouillard.The use of a diffuser duct makes it possible to obtain a uniform fog inside the volume of the chamber, and the presence of this duct inside the chamber makes it possible to recover, inside the chamber, possible runoff resulting from the presence of this fog.
L'utilisation d'un conduit permet également de régler aisément la position du conduit à l'intérieur de ladite chambre, en fonction de la vitesse de l'air.The use of a duct also makes it possible to easily adjust the position of the duct inside said chamber, according to the speed of the air.
La production d'un brouillard homogène en un emplacement proche de la sortie de la chambre permet de réduire la vitesse de l'air utilisé comme vecteur du brouillard dans la zone d'exposition, comparativement à une solution dans laquelle le brouillard est produit sous le ou les plateaux d'exposition, comme cela est le cas dans l'état de la technique où la production d'un courant d'air important est nécessaire pour entraîner le brouillard jusque dans la zone d'exposition.The generation of a homogeneous fog at a location near the exit of the chamber reduces the velocity of the air used as a vector of fog in the exposure zone, compared to a solution in which the fog is produced under the or the exposure trays, as is the case in the state of the art where the production of a large air flow is necessary to drive the fog into the exposure zone.
La disposition des ouvertures latérales du conduit, disposées le long du côté du conduit opposé à celui faisant face à la zone supérieure d'exposition permet à nouveau d'écarter les gouttelettes les plus grosses et tout excès d'eau, et de faciliter le mélange air / brouillard.The arrangement of the lateral openings of the duct, arranged along the side of the duct opposite to that facing the upper exposure zone, again makes it possible to discard the larger droplets and any excess water, and to facilitate mixing. air / fog.
De préférence, les ouvertures latérales du conduit sont des ouvertures circulaires d'un diamètre de préférence compris entre 20 et 25 mm.

These lateral openings are preferably arranged in the form of one or more rows of openings along generatrices of said duct.
De préférence, le conduit est disposé dans ladite chambre au moins partiellement au-dessus du plan passant par le ou les plateaux de présentation.Preferably, the conduit is disposed in said chamber at least partially above the plane passing through the presentation tray (s).
À nouveau, et pour les raisons évoquées ci-dessus, il est préférable de positionner le conduit en partie haute de la chambre.Again, and for the reasons mentioned above, it is preferable to position the duct in the upper part of the chamber.
De préférence, le conduit est disposé sensiblement axialement à l'intérieur de ladite chambre, c'est-à -dire sensiblement parallèlement au bord arrière de la zone supérieure d'exposition. Cette disposition permet l'obtention d'un brouillard homogène à l'intérieur du volume de la chambre, sur toute la longueur de la chambre, avec un encombrement réduit.Preferably, the duct is disposed substantially axially inside said chamber, that is to say substantially parallel to the rear edge of the upper exposure zone. This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a uniform fog inside the volume of the chamber, over the entire length of the chamber, with a small footprint.
De préférence, le conduit est disposé sensiblement horizontalement à l'intérieur de ladite chambre et supporté de place en place par des supports à l'intérieur de la chambre. Ce conduit est un conduit cylindrique, de préférence en matière de synthèse, et les ouvertures sont formées par des perforations du conduit disposées le long d'au moins une génératrice du conduit.Preferably, the conduit is disposed substantially horizontally within said chamber and supported from place to place by supports within the chamber. This duct is a cylindrical duct, preferably made of synthetic material, and the openings are formed by perforations of the duct disposed along at least one generatrix of the duct.

Cette chicane, apte à créer des turbulences, favorise à nouveau l'élimination de gouttelettes trop grosses.Preferably, the outlet of the chamber comprises a baffle. This baffle, capable of creating turbulence, again promotes the elimination of too large droplets.
De préférence, l'une des parois de la chicane est formée par une grille perforée.Preferably, one of the walls of the baffle is formed by a perforated grid.
De préférence, la chambre est surmontée d'une tablette et la partie dite avant de l'enceinte destinée à faire face au client et jouxtant le bord avant de la zone supérieure d'exposition est pourvue d'une vitre de protection, le ou les plateaux de présentation s'étendant à l'intérieur de l'enceinte depuis une position sous la tablette en direction de la partie avant de l'enceinte.Preferably, the chamber is surmounted by a shelf and the so-called front part of the enclosure intended to face the customer and adjoining the front edge of the upper exposure zone is provided with a protective glass, the one or more presentation trays extending inside the enclosure from a position under the shelf towards the front portion of the enclosure.
De préférence, la chambre de type couloir comprend un fond, deux parois verticales, sensiblement parallèles, et s'étendant parallèlement au bord arrière de la zone supérieure d'exposition, et une face du dessus, les bords inférieur et supérieur de la paroi verticale jouxtant la zone supérieure d'exposition étant respectivement écartés du fond et de la face du dessus de la chambre pour délimiter, entre bord inférieur et fond, l'entrée de la chambre et, entre bord supérieur et face du dessus, la sortie de la chambre.Preferably, the corridor-type chamber comprises a bottom, two vertical walls, substantially parallel, and extending parallel to the rear edge of the upper exposure zone, and a top face, the lower and upper edges of the vertical wall. adjoining the upper exposure zone being respectively spaced from the bottom and the top face of the chamber to delimit, between the bottom edge and the bottom, the entrance of the chamber and, between the upper edge and the top face, the exit of the bedroom.

Le positionnement en ligne et le grand nombre de ventilateurs favorisent une réduction des cônes de soufflage des ventilateurs en vue de l'obtention d'une vitesse de ventilation plus homogène.In-line positioning and the large number of fans help reduce the blower fan cones to achieve a more even fan speed.
De préférence, les moyens de circulation forcée de l'air sont configurés pour produire un flux d'air présentant une vitesse, prise sensiblement au milieu de la surface support formée par le ou les plateaux de présentation de la zone d'exposition, inférieure à 0,50 m s-1.Preferably, the forced air circulation means are configured to produce an air flow having a velocity, taken substantially in the middle of the support surface formed by the exposure tray or trays of the exposure zone, less than 0.50 ms -1 .

En effet, la reprise d'air peut s'effectuer par une ouverture unique se présentant sous forme d'une lumière allongée s'étendant le long du bord avant 11 de la zone 4 supérieure d'exposition formée ici par l'un des bords du plateau ou par une pluralité de lumières comme illustré aux figures.In the example shown, these fans are arranged in the technical area, slightly offset from the plumb with the or
Les moyens 7 de production de froid sont formés par un évaporateur d'un circuit frigorifique. Cet évaporateur peut lui-même être réalisé sous forme d'un ou plusieurs échangeurs de chaleur, de préférence à plaques. Les plaques peuvent être des plaques disposées verticalement et reliées entre elles par un circuit de circulation de fluide frigorigène dit circuit de réfrigération. L'air est refroidi par circulation entre lesdites plaques avant d'être introduit dans la chambre 9 disposée le long du bord 10 arrière de la zone 4 supérieure d'exposition.The
Cette chambre 9 de type couloir comprend un fond 91, deux parois 92, 93, verticales, sensiblement parallèles, et s'étendant parallèlement au bord 10 arrière de la zone 4 supérieure d'exposition, et une face 94 du dessus.This
Les bords inférieur 921 et supérieur 922 de la paroi 92 verticale jouxtant la zone 4 supérieure d'exposition sont respectivement écartés du fond 91 et de la face 94 du dessus de la chambre 9 pour délimiter, entre le bord inférieur 921 et le fond 91, l'entrée 13 de la chambre 9 et entre le bord supérieur 922 et la face 94 du dessus, la sortie 14 de la chambre 9.The
La chambre 9 contient encore au moins un conduit 15 raccordable à l'humidificateur 2 d'air. Ce conduit 15 est un conduit diffuseur dont la paroi 16 périphérique de délimitation est munie d'ouvertures, appelées ouvertures 17 latérales, à travers lesquelles l'humidité, en l'occurrence le brouillard, produite par ledit humidificateur 2 est apte à être introduite dans ladite chambre 9.The
Ce conduit est ici un conduit cylindrique, de préférence en PVC, et les ouvertures sont des ouvertures circulaires de diamètre voisin de deux centimètres.This duct is here a cylindrical duct, preferably PVC, and the openings are circular openings with a diameter of about two centimeters.
Les ouvertures 17 latérales du conduit sont disposées le long du côté du conduit 15 opposé à celui faisant face à la zone 4 supérieure d'exposition et débouchent dans la chambre 9 en un emplacement situé au-dessus du plan passant par le ou les plateaux 8 de présentation.The
Le conduit 15 est quant à lui disposé sensiblement axialement et horizontalement à l'intérieur de la chambre 9, en s'étendant au-dessus du plan passant par la surface support formée par le ou les plateaux 8 de présentation. Ce conduit est ainsi porté de place en place par des supports 18 à l'intérieur de la chambre 9.The
Cette chambre 9 peut être réalisée sous forme d'une chambre non compartimentée ou au contraire, compartimentée pour former une pluralité de cellules disposées côte à côte le long du bord arrière 10 de la zone 4 supérieure d'exposition.This
La sortie 14 de la chambre 9 comprend une chicane 19. L'une des parois de cette chicane 19 est formée par une grille 20 perforée. Cette grille 20 perforée est disposée à l'extérieur de la chambre et s'étend verticalement depuis la tablette 21 en formant un écran sensiblement vertical devant l'ouverture formée par l'espace laissé libre entre le bord supérieur 922 de la paroi 92 verticale de la chambre jouxtant la zone 4 supérieure d'exposition et la face 94 du dessus de ladite chambre.The
Le fonctionnement d'un tel meuble réfrigéré est le suivant : l'humidificateur produit un brouillard diffusé dans la chambre 9 par l'intermédiaire du conduit 15. Ce brouillard est entraîné vers la sortie de la chambre par un flux d'air froid issu de la zone technique et produit à partir des ventilateurs qui entraînent ce flux d'air à travers les moyens 7 de production de froid avant entrée dans ladite chambre 9.The operation of such a refrigerated piece of furniture is as follows: the humidifier produces a fog diffused into the
L'air se charge en brouillard dans la chambre avant de circuler dans la zone d'exposition. L'air est ré aspiré par la ou les ouvertures de reprise d'air et entraîné par les ventilateurs pour un nouveau cycle de circulation en boucle.The air fogs in the room before moving into the exposure area. The air is sucked back into the air intake opening (s) and driven by the fans for a new loop circulation cycle.
