Description

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration and commercial equipment and is intended for the storage of bulk, piece, piece, bulk frozen products (such as frozen vegetables, mushrooms and berries, dumplings, seafood, etc.).

The invention also relates to methods for measuring specified portions of a granular product in consumer packaging, in particular in bags, as well as to automatic metering devices.

State of the art

In retail stores, chest freezers are widely used for storing frozen foods, including bulk ones (such as frozen vegetables, dumplings, seafood, etc.). For example, a low-temperature chest freezer is known (patent RU 40100 FSUE “PO Sergo Plant”) containing a foamed cabinet with a frame, a door with a lock and insulation mounted on top of the cabinet with hinges, heat-insulating covers and a condensing unit.

Its advantage is the horizontal arrangement of the door for loading / removing products on the upper part of the body, which helps to reduce the loss of cold internal air when opening / closing the door. However, it is not intended to dose the products stored in it. In this case, all goods loaded into the refrigerator are available, which is undesirable from the point of view of hygiene.

Also known is a refrigerator with a dispenser for a supercooled drink (RU 2006127371, Samsung Electronics, LTD), comprising a main body with a chamber for supercooling, a door and a dispenser for unloading supercooled liquid or ice without opening the door.

The said chamber is an integral part of an ordinary household refrigerator and is intended solely to receive ice from water previously poured into a special container or to produce cold water. In other words, the design of this refrigerator does not provide for the storage and dosing of any other food products, while the main internal volume is used for household storage of products.

SUMMARY OF INVENTIONS

The objective of the invention is the creation of a new commercial refrigeration equipment with improved sanitary and hygienic characteristics.

The problem is solved by achieving the following technical result:

- a guaranteed exit (leakage) of cold air from the refrigerator is ensured when the product is removed from it; there is an effective air exchange between the refrigerator chamber and the space surrounding the refrigerator;

- direct contact of the product with the buyer is excluded;

- ensures the integrity of the product after loading it into the refrigerator;

- the stored product is not caking;

- facilitated sanitization and cleaning of the product storage tank;

- foreign impurities (ice, snow, small crumbs or fragments of the product in case of damage) are easily removed, which impair consumer qualities and attractiveness of the product;

- facilitated visual control of the quality and quantity of the stored product;

- visual control of the operation of the refrigerator mechanisms is possible.

The claimed technical result is achieved as follows.

To establish air exchange in the refrigerating chamber, the refrigerator for trading floors is designed to ensure that the buyer removes a predetermined amount of refrigerated or frozen loose, piece-free, or piece product stored in the refrigerator, which excludes the buyer’s contact with that product, so that it includes the product intended for storage a hopper with a loading channel or a loading hole of the hopper, as well as a discharge channel or a discharge opening of the hopper that contributes to the extraction, p and that the intake opening of the discharge passage or the outlet of the hopper are located at the bottom of the hopper or under it, whereas the intake opening of the feed channel or feed hopper opening disposed above the outlet of the discharge passage, or outlet openings of the hopper.

In another embodiment, such a refrigerator includes a hopper for storing the product with a ventilation hole, as well as a discharge outlet or hopper opening that facilitates the extraction, while the intake port of the outlet channel or the outlet of the hopper is located at or below the bottom of the hopper, the vent is located above the outlet of the outlet or outlet of the hopper.

This design of the refrigerator eliminates caking of the product (due to the fact that product is poured at each recess), sanitary treatment and cleaning of the product storage tank are facilitated.

Next, we consider various private versions of the described refrigerators.

So, the intake port of the exhaust channel is located above the outlet of the exhaust channel.

The outlet of the hopper or the outlet of the outlet can be located at a distance of not more than 1.6 m from the bottom of the refrigerator.

The refrigerator may include a piece or volumetric or weight dispenser connected to the outlet channel or the outlet of the hopper, which is located before or inside, or after the outlet channel or outlet of the hopper, or is made through the intake and / or outlet of the outlet channel or through the outlet bunker. The presence of a dispenser allows you to ensure the integrity of the product when it is removed.

In order to ensure the possibility of visual control of the quality and quantity of the stored product and the operation of the refrigerator mechanisms, the dispenser itself, its body, or part thereof are made transparent. The exhaust channel or part thereof may also be transparent.

To facilitate the removal of impurities - snow, ice, crumbs or small breakaway parts of the product that accidentally hit small items in the product - the refrigerator may contain a separator located in or outside the hopper.

The separator may be made in the form of a grid, may include a transparent outlet for the separated objects; its design may include the possibility of blowing the product with gas (for example, air) to increase the efficiency of purification from impurities.

The separator can be made in the form of two coaxial cones located in the center relative to the inner space of the refrigerator (hopper) - the first and second, while the first cone is truncated and its lower (larger) base is higher than its upper (smaller) base and this lower base the cone touches the inner walls of the refrigerator (hopper), while the second cone is located base down so that its base is located at a distance of 5-100 mm from the lower base of the first cone.

The separator can be made in the form of a cone-shaped mesh, despite the fact that the cone is truncated and its upper (smaller) base is located lower relative to the lower (larger) base.

In this case, the grid can have variables in the step of the cell, and can also be equipped with a vibration device.

Also, the separator mesh can be made in the form of a bowl, that is, it can be a rotation body of a convex downward curve, for example, a broken line - then the walls will have a variable inclination.

The refrigerator may include a container for collecting the separated garbage.

The refrigerator may contain a device for blocking the supply of the product in the event of an unscheduled blackout so that the warm air entering it does not cause the product to defrost.

The refrigerator in the lower part may contain a scale for weighing the removed portion of the product, which can be located mainly under the outlet of the outlet channel or under the outlet of the hopper.

Under the outlet opening of the outlet channel or under the outlet of the hopper, there may be a container cabinet for storing the product or another refrigerator for receiving the product that has woken up during removal.

In order to avoid caking of the stored product, as well as for better separation of impurities, the refrigerator may include a device for vibrating the product or a device for blowing gas into the product.

To facilitate visual control of the quality and quantity of the stored product, the hopper wall or part of it can be transparent, and the refrigerator can also include a level sensor of the product located in it, indicating the need to load the product.

To facilitate loading the product into the refrigerator, the latter may include a device for lowering the hopper during loading.

The refrigerator may include a compartment for storing packaging, a mechanism for supplying packaging, a device for automated packaging.
