Definitions

  • the invention relates to a particular one intended for shopfitting Refrigerator, which essentially consists of a cooling table, which on a pedestal is a table top for placing the ones to be presented to the customer Goods and which also has a cooling device, at least the perishable goods lying on the table top to be able to keep fresh.
  • AT-B-394 487 from which the present invention is based discloses one Refrigerated furniture for shopfitting with one on a table top of a cooling table arranged coolable shelf, which has a heat exchanger in the form of a Cooling evaporator of a cooling unit can be cooled.
  • a blower and a disk-shaped cover are provided to the Area of the presented goods to be cooled from the access area for the Detach customers.
  • the cooling device of the refrigerated cabinet described is can still be swiveled up around a rear horizontal axis and by means of a Support arms can be supported in the up position.
  • the invention has for its object a refrigerator, in particular is intended for shopfitting to create that, on the one hand, easy to maintain or is easy to clean and on the other hand not a special one Insulation is required to achieve the desired cooling performance.
  • the invention makes it possible to use the refrigerator after use surfaces to be cleaned such as the top of the Table top, but also the control system for the cooling air, simple and easy to clean, because the appropriate surfaces for a convenient cleaning can be made easily accessible when the Cooling device and any associated parts from the Operating position in a retracted and raised rest position has moved.
  • the cooling device containing an evaporator for the inside the cooling air to be circulated has a closed channel, through which the cooling air flows in a targeted and inevitable manner insulation of the evaporator against heat radiation not necessary on the outside, because most of the performance of the evaporator is discharged through the air flowing through it.
  • the cooling device that can be retracted from the operating position and raised to be able to set down in the lowered operating position and thus an impact on the base, which is preferably trough-shaped is designed to prevent, according to the invention in the movable Lever adjusting device at least one shock absorber installed, which is preferably between one of the levers and the trough-shaped Pad is articulated and thus adjustable.
  • the articulation point on one lever can be appropriately adjusted or adjust to optimally use the damping force of the shock absorbers and to be able to adjust the weight of the respective cooling device.
  • the cooling device is included the lever linkage and the trough-shaped base as a module-shaped Trained unit, which is installed as a whole in a refrigerator and can also be removed from the refrigerator. This includes, for example just tighten or loosen four fastening screws.
  • the cooling device can therefore also be used after the period of use reuse the refrigerator by placing it in a new refrigerator like installing a new sales counter. This is particularly useful because the life of the cooler is often much longer than that The refrigerator is in use.
  • cooling devices can also be fitted to such Place a sales counter later, where originally no cooling was desired or provided.
  • the cooling table (1) intended for shopfitting has a fixed one Table top (2), from the front end of a transparent cover (3) runs upwards while on the rear end a worktop (4) is supported by a raised wall (5).
  • a cooling device (6) arranged with circulating and works with cooled circulating air.
  • the cooling device (6) has a box-shaped housing (7) which in the Operating position, as shown in Fig. 1, attached to the table top (2) Tub (8) covered.
  • the box-shaped housing (7) is by means of angle levers (9) and straight Lever (10) on the table top (2) and / or the tub (8) in this way stored that it from the operating position shown in Fig. 1 in move and lift the cleaning position shown in Fig. 2 can be, and vice versa.
  • the angle levers (9) and the straight-line levers (10) are shown in FIG. 1 and 2 only one to recognize each because the other same levers lie in flight with one another and thus overlap each other in the drawing.
  • a channel (11) which contains an evaporator (12) which can be flowed through by the circulating air to be cooled when the Cooling device (6) is in the operating position shown in Fig. 1.
  • an evaporator (12) which can be flowed through by the circulating air to be cooled when the Cooling device (6) is in the operating position shown in Fig. 1.
  • a disc-like axial fan (14) let in through openings in an end wall (15) of the housing (7) (16) Air from the space between the cover plate (3) and the housing (7) sucks and through the channel (11) and thus accommodated therein Evaporator (12) conducts.
  • This air is cooled in the evaporator (12), by means of a cooling medium passed through a cooling coil (17), by a pipe (18) serving as an inlet shown coolant source and by another, in pipe, not recognizable in the drawing, is returned to the coolant source becomes.
  • outlet opening (20) is located under the wedge-shaped front edge (21) of the worktop (4) so that the cooled leaving the channel (11) Air is redirected and into the space above the cooling device, so to speak (6) is directed, that is, to where the goods to be cooled when operating the cooling table.
  • the adjusting screw (23) is set so that the trough-shaped Flap (22) in the operating position with one on the outer or free End of the same flange (26) against the underside (27) of the Worktop (4) creates a seal, so to speak, so that the out of the channel (11) Do not let the cooled air flow out downwards or backwards can, but between the worktop (4) or the front edge (21) and the end wall (19) of the housing (7) upwards and thus towards deflected backwards according to the inclined position of the end wall (19) and is led.
  • the cooling device (6) supported on two different lever arms, namely at the end facing the cover plate (3) of the cooling table (1) by means of Angle levers (9) and at the opposite end using straight-line levers (10), the latter between their two articulation points (28 and 29) a larger actual length than the angle lever (9) between them Have articulation points (30 and 31). Therefore, the rear end of the The cooling device (6) is raised more when it is lifted off the table top (2) as its front end, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the cooling device (6) lay the angle lever (9) with their shorter leg (32) on the top (34) of the table top (2) or the bottom of the tub (8) attached to the table top, so that the Cooling device stable in the raised and retracted position is held, also because the upper articulation point (31) the angle lever (9) now on the other side of the lower pivot point (30) as in the operating position (Fig. 1). Thereby there is a so-called dead center lock.
  • Fig. 2 it can be seen that after lifting the cooling device (6) the top (4) of the table top (2) and the inside of the tub (8) are easily accessible for cleaning purposes. Even the one hanging down freely Flap (22), in the operating position through the outlet opening (20) of the channel (11) goods, remnants of goods or other dirt fall can be easily accessed for cleaning purposes. Even the inside the rear end of the channel (11) is free for cleaning purposes, so that if contamination should actually occur there, this can be removed without difficulty.
  • 3 and 4 differs from the embodiment 1 and 2 essentially in that the housing (7) of the cooling device (6) not only at the rear end on a straight line Lever (10) is supported, but also at the front end on a straight line Levers (36), which are shorter than the levers (10) are.
  • the above is in connection with 1 and 2 described dead center lock the housing (7) in the retracted and raised position, since the upper pivot point (31) of the shorter straight line Lever (36) goes over the lower pivot point (30) when the housing (7) of the cooling device (6) from the lowered one shown in FIG. 3 Operating position in the retracted and raised shown in Fig. 4 Cleaning position is moved.
  • This shock absorber (38) is in the embodiment shown a cylindrical air spring with a Cylinder housing (39) and one protruding from the cylinder housing and extendable piston rod (40).
  • the cylinder housing (39) is with an attached head piece (41) articulated with the relevant Lever (10) connected while at the outer end of the piston rod (40) further head piece (42) is attached, which is articulated with the relevant Side wall (37) of the tub (8) is connected.
  • a helical spring is freely displaceable on the piston rod (40) (43) which, when the housing (7) of the cooling device in the lowered Operating position (Fig. 3) is from the cylinder housing (39) of the shock absorber (38) against that attached to the piston rod (40) Headpiece (42) is pressed while being preloaded.
  • the longer lever (10) contains a number of arranged in series Holes (44) into which the head piece (41) of the shock absorber in question (38) can optionally be hooked to the effective lever arm of the shock absorber according to the respective operating conditions or to be able to change.
  • the shock absorbers (38) serve to retract and lift the housing (7) to facilitate the cooling device (6) and on the other hand the Steam back moving the cooling device (6) into the operating position.
  • the coil spring (43) supports this damping effect.
  • shock absorber (38) is preferably designed as an air spring a different type of shock absorber is also conceivable, for example a hydraulic shock absorber.
