Abstract

The cold store has a hollow, parallelepiped shaped, cover (1). This holds a liquid which can be solidified to retain cold inside a closed part. There is equipment (4,5) to provide cooling to a standard drink container placed inside the closed part. At least one face (1a) of the cover has indentations (4,5) to match the shape of the receptacle (9) which requires cooling. There can be several parallel indentations, all corresponding with a part of the receptacle.

Description

La présente invention est relative à des perfectionnements apportés aux accumulateurs thermiques, c'est-à-dire aux dispositifs destinés à être échauffés ou refroidis préalablement à leur installation dans une enceinte fermée, de manière que la température de celle-ci se rapproche le plus possible de celle desdits accumulateurs. Une application fréquente d'un tel dispositif est le refroidissement de l'intérieur des glacières portatives. The present invention relates to improvements made to thermal accumulators, that is to say to devices intended to be heated or cooled prior to their installation in a closed enclosure, so that the temperature thereof is closest possible from that of said accumulators. A frequent application of such a device is the cooling of the interior of portable coolers.

Les accumulateurs thermiques usuels sont constitués par des parallélépipèdes creux contenant un liquide susceptible d'être facilement congelé dans le freezer d'un réfrigérateur ou dans un congélateur. The usual thermal accumulators consist of hollow parallelepipeds containing a liquid capable of being easily frozen in the freezer of a refrigerator or in a freezer.

Une fois le liquide congelé, l'accumulateur thermique est placé dans un compartiment spécialement prévu à cet effet à l'intérieur d'une glacière.Once the liquid has been frozen, the thermal accumulator is placed in a specially designed compartment inside a cooler.

Il existe aussi d'autres accumulateurs qui sont susceptibles de prendre lå forme extérieure du récipient à refroidir. On trouve un exemple de cette application dans la demande de brevet français 79 29832 qui décrit un petit accumulateur frigorifique propre à entourer une bouteille de manière que le rafratchissement du liquide qu'elle contient soit particulierement efficace. There are also other accumulators which are capable of taking the external form of the container to be cooled. An example of this application is found in French patent application 79 29832 which describes a small refrigerating accumulator capable of surrounding a bottle so that the cooling of the liquid which it contains is particularly effective.

Mais si l'utilisation d'une telle technique est possible lorsqu'on a affaire à la réfrigération de bouteilles, boites ou analogues, il n'en va pas de même lorsqu'on veut refroidir une enceinte fermée en privilégiant la réfrigération de bouteilles ou boîtes qu'elle renferme car alors le dispositif considéré est beaucoup trop encombrant. De plus, sa puissance calorifique ne lui permet pas de refroidir convenablemen tout le volume de la glacière en plus des articles privilégiés. Ceci est bien entendu d'autant plus vrai si la paroi extérieure de l'accumulateur est isolante comme dans la demande 79 29832. But if the use of such a technique is possible when we are dealing with the refrigeration of bottles, cans or the like, it is not the same when we want to cool a closed enclosure by favoring the refrigeration of bottles or boxes it contains because then the device considered is much too bulky. In addition, its calorific power does not allow it to properly cool the entire volume of the cooler in addition to preferred items. This is of course all the more true if the external wall of the accumulator is insulating as in the application 79 29832.

Les perfectionnements qui font l'objet de la présente invention visent à permettre la réalisation d'un accumulateur thermique susceptible de refroidir toute l'enceinte intérieure d'une glacière, en privilégiant la réfrigération d'un récipient standard de boisson réalisé sous la forme d'une botte ou d'une bouteille. The improvements which are the subject of the present invention aim to allow the production of a thermal accumulator capable of cooling the entire inner enclosure of a cooler, by favoring the refrigeration of a standard beverage container produced in the form of 'a boot or bottle.

A cet effet on réalise une combinaison des accumulateurs connus en adoptant pour le dispositif suivant l'invention une forme parallélépi- pédique, mais dont une face comporte au moins l'empreinte partielle du récipient à refroidir de préférence. To this end, a combination of known accumulators is produced by adopting for the device according to the invention a rectangular shape, but one face of which comprises at least the partial imprint of the container to be cooled preferably.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer
Fig. 1 est une vue en perspective d'un accumulateur thermique réalisé conformément à l'invention.
The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a thermal accumulator produced in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 est une vue semblable à celle de fig. 1, mais montrant une variante de réalisation. Fig. 2 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1, but showing an alternative embodiment.

Fig. 3 est une coupe transversale de deux dispositifs suivant fig.l disposés face à face en vue d'enserrer deux récipients. Fig. 3 is a cross section of two devices according to fig.l arranged face to face in order to enclose two containers.

Fig. 4 montre comment un dispositif suivant l'invention peut refroidir une enceinte intérieure fermée tout en privilégiant deux récipients. Fig. 4 shows how a device according to the invention can cool a closed interior enclosure while favoring two containers.

On a représenté en fig. 1 un accumulateur thermique suivant l'invention réalisé sous la forme d'une enveloppe creuse 1 qui renferme hermétiquement un liquide susceptible d'être congelé tel que la carboxy méthyl cellulose. La forme générale de l'enveloppe 1 est parallélépipédique/ un de ses bords comportant de préférence une ouverture allongée 2 propre à constituer une poignée 3. A la manière connue, l'enveloppe 1 est d'épaisseur relativement réduite tandis que ses autres dimensions sont importantes de manière à réduire au maximum sont encombrement tout en lui conférant un volume suffisant. L'enveloppe 1 est réalisée préférablement au moyen de deux coquilles placées l'une contre l'autre et soudées. Bien entendu on pourrait également obtenir l'enveloppe 1 au moyen d'une opération dtinjectionvsoufilage ou analogue. There is shown in fig. 1 a thermal accumulator according to the invention produced in the form of a hollow envelope 1 which hermetically encloses a liquid capable of being frozen such as carboxy methyl cellulose. The general shape of the envelope 1 is parallelepiped / one of its edges preferably comprising an elongated opening 2 suitable for constituting a handle 3. In the known manner, the envelope 1 is of relatively reduced thickness while its other dimensions are important in order to reduce as much as possible their size while giving it sufficient volume. The envelope 1 is preferably made by means of two shells placed one against the other and welded. Of course, the envelope 1 could also be obtained by means of an injection injection operation or the like.

Conformément à l'invention, l'une des faces la de l'enveloppe 1 est pourvue de deux empreintes 4 et 5 qui débouchent sur la face de l'enveloppe opposée à la poignée 3. According to the invention, one of the faces 1a of the envelope 1 is provided with two indentations 4 and 5 which open onto the face of the envelope opposite to the handle 3.

Dans le mode d'exécution de fig. 2, l'enveloppe 1 comporte au contraire trois empreintes 6, 7, 3 de dimensions semblables ou différen- tes et qui ne débouchent pas sur ses côtés. In the embodiment of fig. 2, the envelope 1 on the contrary comprises three imprints 6, 7, 3 of similar or different dimensions and which do not open on its sides.

On comprend aisément qu'en mettant en vis-à-vis deux accumulateurs réalisés conformément à l'invention, on puisse déterminer au moins un volume dans lequel peut s'inscrire un récipient 9 tel qu'une bouteille (fig. 3), celle-ci pouvant éventuellement dépasser la base de l'enveloppe. It is easily understood that by placing opposite two accumulators produced in accordance with the invention, it is possible to determine at least one volume in which a container 9 such as a bottle can be inscribed (fig. 3), that -this may possibly exceed the base of the envelope.

A cet effet le profil transversal de chaque empreinte 4, 5 correspond à au moins une partie de la moitié de la section droite dudit récipient 9. Ainsi on peut placer entre deux accumulateurs thermiques suivant l'invention des récipients de diamètres différents mais restant relativement voisins.For this purpose the transverse profile of each footprint 4, 5 corresponds to at least part of half of the cross section of said container 9. Thus it is possible to place, between two thermal accumulators according to the invention, containers of different diameters but remaining relatively similar .

On comprend aisément que si l'on rapproche l'un de l'autre deux accumulateurs thermiques réalisés conformément au mode d'exécution de fig. 2 avec leurs empreintes en vis-à-vis, on puisse enserrer de même manière trois récipients plus courts que ceux 9, par exemple des bottes métalliques de boisson. It is easily understood that if one brings together two thermal accumulators produced in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 2 with their impressions facing each other, it is possible to enclose in the same manner three containers shorter than those 9, for example metallic beverage boots.

I1 va de soi que les faces des enveloppes 1 qui ne comportent pas les empreintes sont prévues suffisamment importantes pour constituer une surface d'échange thermique suffisante lorsque l'accumulateur est placé dans une glacière. It goes without saying that the faces of the envelopes 1 which do not have the imprints are provided with sufficient size to constitute a sufficient heat exchange surface when the accumulator is placed in a cooler.

Bien entendu, c'estltensemble forme par deux accumulateurs et les récipients qu'ils enserrent qui, tout en privilégiant le refroidissement de ceux-ci, assure- le maintien d'une température basse dans la glacière. Of course, it is an assembly formed by two accumulators and the containers which they enclose which, while favoring the cooling of these, ensures the maintenance of a low temperature in the cooler.

On pourrait aussi, tel qu'on l'a illustré en fig. 4, disposer les récipients 9 sur la face interne du fond 10a d'une enceinte fermée 10 en les coiffant d'une seule enveloppe 1, de telle sorte qu'on assisterait en plus à un refroidissement par convection de ladite enceinte par l'intermédiaire du fond 10a. One could also, as illustrated in fig. 4, arrange the containers 9 on the internal face of the bottom 10a of a closed enclosure 10 by covering them with a single envelope 1, so that there would also be a cooling by convection of said enclosure via from the bottom 10a.

On notera que dans les fig. 3 et 4 les récipients 9 constitues par des bouteilles pourraient etre remplacés par des bottes standards disposes dans les empreintes 6, 7, 8 disposées transversalement. Note that in fig. 3 and 4 the containers 9 constituted by bottles could be replaced by standard boots arranged in the indentations 6, 7, 8 arranged transversely.

Il doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n' a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autres équivalents. Fn particulier)
si dans la description qui précède on s'est refére à un accumulateur frigorifique, on pourrait fort bien, sans sortir du domaine de l'invention, utiliser ledit accumulateur pour apporter des calories à l'tinté rieur d'une enceinte fermée. De même on pourrait prévoir des empreintes sur les deux grandes faces de l'accumulateur afin de prj.vilégier l'échange thermique avec deux séries de récipients.
It should moreover be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents. Particular Fn)
if in the foregoing description we have referred to a refrigerating accumulator, we could very well, without departing from the scope of the invention, use said accumulator to supply calories to the interior of a closed enclosure. Likewise, provision could be made for imprints on the two large faces of the accumulator in order to prj.vilégier the heat exchange with two series of receptacles.
