Description

Einrichtung für temperaturempfindliche WarenDevice for temperature sensitive goods
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung für temperaturempfindliche Waren, wie Lebensmitteln, mit einer Kühlvorrichtung.The invention relates to a device for temperature-sensitive goods, such as food, with a cooling device.
Die Versorgung von Endverbrauchern mit temperaturempfindlichen Lebensmitteln durch Kühllagerung oder Gefrierlagerung verlangt eine ununterbrochene Kühlkette, um die gekühlt oder tiefgefroren haltbaren Lebensmittel, wie Naturprodukte oder eßfertig zugerichtete Gerichte, ohne Zustandsänderungen und Qualitätsverluste dem Endverbraucher zur Verfügung stellen zu können. Es sind für den Transport und die Präsentation von temperaturempfindlichen Lebensmitteln bereits eine Vielzahl von gekühlten Einrichtungen bekannt, die in Konstruktion und Funktion auf den jeweiligen Zweck ausgerichtet sind und sich daher nicht dauerhaft für einen anderen Einsatz eignen.The supply of end-users with temperature-sensitive foods by cold storage or freezing requires an uninterrupted cold chain in order to be able to make the chilled or frozen foods, such as natural products or ready-to-eat dishes, available to the end user without changes in condition and quality. A large number of cooled devices are known for the transport and presentation of temperature-sensitive foodstuffs, the design and function of which are geared to the particular purpose and are therefore not permanently suitable for another use.
So werden zum Transport von Tiefkühl-Lebensmitteln oder Frischwaren Kühlfahrzeuge eingesetzt, bei denen zur Kühlung des Ladegutes Flüssiggas über einen Wärmetauscher in den Laderaum verdampft wird. Um Spitzenbelastungen, wie sie durch häufiges Türöffnen entstehen, im Laderaum abdecken zu können, werden super-isolierte Behälter mit flüssigem Stickstoff im Laderaum mitgeführt, aus denen das Kältemittel geregelt ausströmt. Der flüssige Stickstoff nimmt Wärme auf, verdampft und verdrängt gleichzeitig den Luftsauerstoff der Laderaum-Atmosphäre.For example, refrigerated vehicles are used to transport frozen food or fresh goods, in which liquid gas is evaporated into the cargo space via a heat exchanger to cool the cargo. In order to be able to cover peak loads, such as those caused by frequent door opening, in the cargo hold, super-insulated containers with liquid nitrogen are carried in the cargo hold, from which the refrigerant flows out in a controlled manner. The liquid nitrogen absorbs heat, evaporates and at the same time displaces the atmospheric oxygen in the hold atmosphere.
Isolierbehälter dienen zum Transport von Tiefkühl-Lebensmitteln oder Frischwaren vom Kühlhaus bis zum Einzelhandelsgeschäft. Im Einzeihandelsgeschäft werden die Tiefkühl-Lebensmittel oder Frischwaren in gekühlte Präsentationsmöbel, wie Kühltheken oder -regale, umgelagert. Dies erfordert einen erheblichen Personalaufwand und führt zu einer Unterbrechung der Kühlkette, da beim Umräumen der Tiefkühl-Lebensmittel oder Frischwaren die temperaturempfindlichen Waren der Umgebungsatmosphäre ausgesetzt sind. Die Zeit zwischen demInsulated containers are used to transport frozen food or fresh goods from the cold store to the retail store. In the retail store, the frozen food or fresh goods are relocated to refrigerated display furniture, such as refrigerated counters or shelves. This requires considerable personnel expenditure and leads to an interruption in the cold chain, since when the frozen foods or fresh goods are rearranged, the temperature-sensitive goods are exposed to the ambient atmosphere. The time between
Entnehmen der Tiefkühl-Lebensmittel oder Frischwaren aus den Isolierbehältern und dem Einräumen in die Präsentationsmöbel ist unbestimmt und von den damit beauftragten Personal abhängig. Darüber hinaus besteht bei hoher Umgebungstemperatur ein erhöhter Kühlbedarf der im Präsentationsmöbel ausgestellten Tiefkühl-Lebensmittel oder Frischwaren, der durch Zugabe eines Kältemittels (Eis) in das Präsentationsmöbel nicht gedeckt werden kann, da die Warenfächer zu klein sind. Ferner sind Präsentationsmöbel in der Regel fest installiert und können nicht als Aktionsstand an exponierter Stelle aufgestellt werden.Remove the frozen food or fresh goods from the insulated containers and the placement in the presentation furniture is indefinite and depends on the personnel commissioned with it. In addition, at high ambient temperatures there is an increased cooling requirement for the frozen foods or fresh produce displayed in the presentation furniture, which cannot be covered by adding a refrigerant (ice) to the presentation furniture, since the product compartments are too small. Furthermore, presentation furniture is usually permanently installed and cannot be set up as a promotional stand in an exposed location.

The invention leaves the path outlined in the prior art by providing a combination device by means of which the transport and sale of temperature-sensitive goods is made possible. The invention allows the temperature-sensitive goods to remain in the same container from delivery to presentation in the retail store. Because the cooling device has network-independent means for providing a cooling capacity and means for regulating the cooling capacity, the temperature-sensitive goods in the container are continuously cooled, regardless of whether the container is being transported or set up as presentation furniture in a retail store. In addition, the containers can be set up as an action stand at an exposed location without the need for external power connections. According to an advantageous embodiment, the cooling device has a coolant reservoir which contains a refrigerant, such as. B. cryogenic liquefied gas, which has means for

Hierdurch kann der Innenraum des Behälters in kleinere Teilvolumina unterteilt werden, um den Zugriff auf verschiedene Waren von Anfang an zu ermöglichen. Darüber hinaus kann das Beladen extern geschehen. Ferner werden die temperaturempfindlichen Waren während des Transportes stabilisiert und der Wärmeeinfall bei Türöffnung minimiert, da der Zugriff auf verschiedene Lebensmittel getrennt erfolgt.Cold distribution can be supplied as a controlled coolant flow to the interior of the container, preferably via a porous rear wall. The container interior is subdivided into merchandise compartments with at least one merchandise shelf, the merchandise shelf preferably being in the form of a removable drawer. As a result, the interior of the container can be divided into smaller partial volumes in order to allow access to different goods from the beginning. In addition, loading can take place externally. In addition, the temperature-sensitive goods are stabilized during transport and the incidence of heat when the door is opened is minimized because different foods are accessed separately.

Aufgrund des vakuumisolierten Tanks kann das Kältereservoir 23 sehr klein ausgebildet sein. Die Füllanschlüsse des Kältereservoirs 23 sind mit 24 bezeichnet. Über eine Kälteverteilung 26 - vorzugsweise eine Venturidüse wird das Kältemittel über einen Temperaturregler 25 - der Netzunabhängig arbeitet - gezielt nach Bedarf in die Warenfächer eingesprüht. Mittels der Kühlvorrichtung kann die Temperatur im Innenraum des Behälters 10 netzunabhängig und selbstregulierend gewählt werden, wobei die Kälte über 24 Stunden gleichbleibend regelbar ist. Die Kältevorrichtung arbeitet somit kostengünstig, sicher und wartungsarm bei geringstem Volumen. FIG. 2 shows a container 10 in which the transport height 11 is rotated by approximately 270 °, the transport door 11 resting on the side wall 12 of the container 10. The transport door 11 is preferably formed so that one wing of the transport door 11 abuts the left and right side wall 12. The cooling device 22 is arranged above or below the floor 13 and has a cold reservoir 23, for example a vacuum-insulated tank, in which a liquefied gas, for example nitrogen or CO 2 , is stored. Because of the vacuum-insulated tank, the cold reservoir 23 can be made very small. The filling connections of the cold reservoir 23 are designated by 24. Via a cold distribution 26 - preferably a Venturi nozzle - the refrigerant is sprayed into the product compartments as required via a temperature controller 25 - which works independently of the network. By means of the cooling device, the temperature in the interior of the container 10 can be selected to be independent of the network and self-regulating, the cold being able to be regulated consistently over 24 hours. The refrigeration device thus works inexpensively, safely and requires little maintenance with the smallest volume.
