Abstract

In a goods presenter, cleaning or maintenance can be carried out as simply as possible if a usable as a floor bottom shelf, which is arranged between a goods presentation room and an evaporator room, if possible not directly with the goods space closing arrangements, such as with a carcass or frame of the goods presenter , This makes it possible to first open the goods space opening and then remove the boundary floor through the goods space opening or raise an evaporator together with the boundary floor.

Description

The invention relates to a goods presenter for the presentation of goods to be kept cool, comprising a goods space, which in turn comprises an evaporator space and a product presentation space arranged above the evaporator space, wherein the goods presentation space is bounded below by a usable as floor commodity floor, which can be displaced with a horizontal component and with a horizontal component through a, in a presentation state of the goods presenter, by means of an openable cover, closed goods space opening from the goods space is removable, and wherein the evaporator space is arranged below the boundary floor and in the evaporator space, an evaporator is provided. In addition, the invention comprises a method for cleaning or maintaining a goods display for presenting goods to be kept cool, comprising a goods compartment, which in turn comprises an evaporator compartment and a merchandise display compartment located above the evaporator compartment, wherein the merchandise display compartment is bounded below by a perimeter bottom usable as a commodity compartment, which is displaceable with a horizontal component and with a horizontal component by a, in a presentation state of the Warenpräsenters, by means of an openable cover, closed goods space opening from the goods room is removable, and wherein the evaporator space is arranged below the boundary floor and in the evaporator chamber, an evaporator is provided.

Such goods presenter are for example from the DE 77 18 829 U as a merchandise display case, there refrigerated counter called, or from the DE 83 15 973 U1 or from the DE 83 33 748 U1 known as refrigerated counters, wherein in view of the usual usage refrigerated counters are usually closed to a customer side and open to a user side and are often aligned in terms of their upper design that buying operations, such as the exchange of goods and money, are carried out across the refrigerated display while refrigerated display cases are often completely closed in a presentation state and should not necessarily allow the transfer of goods or money across the showcase. With regard to the refrigerated display cases, it is understood that these have a goods space which can be opened in an operating state in order to equip it with goods or to be able to remove goods. Also in maintenance conditions, for example for cleaning work, refrigerated display cases are accessible with regard to their goods space. As can be seen immediately, the boundaries between refrigerated counters and refrigerated display cases are fluid, since, for example, the DE 81 28 503 U1 reveals a showcase, which is closed by hinged doors, while the DE 77 18 829 U a refrigerated display case seems to reveal itself, which is completely closed in a presentation state.

Common to all these goods presenters is that a goods space has an evaporator space in which an evaporator is provided and a goods presentation space arranged above the evaporator space in which goods can be presented. It proves to be essential that on the one hand, the evaporator, which is in each case arranged under a boundary floor, which can often be used as a goods floor, and also a bottom of the evaporator chamber can be cleaned or maintained, including in the prior art various considerations can be found. This is what the DE 91 13 819 U1 , the EP 0 084 660 A2 , the DE 82 01 379 U1 as well as the DE 10 2004 019 208 B3 each usable as a commodity floor boundary floors, which are hinged and under which the respective evaporator are arranged folded, so that both the evaporator and the evaporator room floors to be cleaned. Also the EP 1 410 746 A1 , the DE 203 15 962 U1 and the DE 10 2011 106 208 A1 offer appropriate solutions, in which case additionally usable as a bottom of the commodity bounding shelf with a horizontal component is designed to be displaceable and can be removed by a in the state of presentation of Warenpräsenters open counter opening or goods space opening from the goods compartment. A slightly different solution to facilitate appropriate cleaning operations disclosed the DE 81 28 503 U1 according to which the structural unit can be lifted off as a bottom usable floor and evaporator with a horizontal component within the goods space to allow appropriate cleaning activities.

Another alternative approach is the DE 83 33 748 U1 , the DE 83 15 973 U1 and the DE 77 18 829 U in which the delimiting floor or the lowermost goods floor are displaceable with a horizontal component and with a horizontal component by a, in a presentation state of the respective goods presenter, by means of an openable cover, closed goods space opening from the goods space are removable. In this way, on the one hand, the corresponding goods floor for a loading of goods or for a removal of goods or for cleaning or maintenance purposes are removed from the goods room and on the other hand, access to the evaporator are enabled, so that a cleaning or maintenance of the same or the underlying evaporator space floor is made possible.

It is an object of the invention to provide a generic goods presenter and a generic To provide a method for cleaning a Warenpräsenters, wherein the cleaning or maintenance are as simple as possible.

The object of the invention is achieved by goods presenter or method for cleaning goods presenter with the features of the independent claims. Further, possibly also independent thereof, advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims and the following description.

Here, the invention of the common basic knowledge that in a generic Warenpresententer cleaning or maintenance can be performed as easily as possible, if the Begrenzungsboden is not connected as possible with the goods compartment closing arrangements. From this then follow corresponding process steps in the cleaning or maintenance, which, if they are implemented accordingly, can perform the cleaning or waiting relatively easy.

To the goods space closing arrangements are in particular walls and windows but also openable and closable covers to count, by means of which the goods room or the goods presentation room and the evaporator room can be opened or closed.

In concrete implementation, it is therefore advantageous if the openable cover, through which the delimiting floor is removable from the goods space, is mechanically separated from the delimiting floor at least for the horizontal removal of the delimiting floor from the goods space. This requires in particular that not as in the DE 83 33 748 U1 , of the DE 83 15 973 U1 or the DE 77 18 829 U1 a drawer-like arrangement of boundary floor and cover must be removed from the goods room, but that only the boundary floor must be moved accordingly. This results in the arrangement to be removed from the goods space being much smaller and lighter, so that cleaning and maintenance operations are much less hindered. Should, as with the arrangement after the DE 77 18 829 U is provided, the boundary floor are completely removed from the rest of the body of the goods presenter, then the assembly to be supported, since the cover does not need to be removed for this purpose, much easier.

Accordingly, a cleaning or waiting for a goods presenter for the presentation of goods to be kept cool, comprising a goods compartment, which in turn comprises an evaporator compartment and a product presentation space arranged above the evaporator compartment, wherein the goods presentation compartment is bounded below by a usable as a bottom shelf floor, with a horizontal component displaceable and with a horizontal component by one, in a presentation state of the Warenpräsenters, by means of an openable cover, closed goods space opening from the goods space is removable, and wherein the evaporator space is arranged below the boundary floor and in the evaporator space an evaporator is provided as simple as possible if the goods presenter is characterized in that the cover is mechanically separated from the boundary floor at least for the horizontal removal of the boundary floor from the goods space.

Accordingly, cleaning or maintenance in a method for cleaning or servicing the goods presenter for presenting goods to be kept cool, comprising a goods compartment which in turn comprises an evaporator compartment and a merchandise display compartment located above the evaporator compartment may be performed, the merchandise display compartment facing downwardly as a commodity shelf usable boundary floor is limited, which is displaceable with a horizontal component and with a horizontal component by a, in a state of presentation of the Warenpräsenters, by means of an openable cover, closed goods compartment opening from the goods space is removable, and wherein the evaporator space disposed below the boundary floor and in the Evaporator a vaporizer is provided as simple as possible, if the process is characterized in that for cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator first opened the goods compartment opening and then the Begren floor is removed through the goods compartment opening, to then clean or maintain the underlying evaporator.

In contrast to the generic Warenpräsentern the DE 83 33 748 U1 . DE 83 15 973 U1 and DE 77 18 829 U in which the opening of the goods space opening and the removal of the delimiting floor takes place simultaneously, the method step of opening the corresponding goods space opening and the method step of removing the delimiting floor are carried out separately and in succession in the procedure explained above. This also allows directly that on the one hand only the boundary floor in its full length protrudes from the goods space opening and on the other hand - if necessary - even this Begrenzungsboden must be completely removed from the body of the goods presenter.

The above-explained common basic knowledge, according to which the boundary floor as possible not with arrangements which the Close goods compartment, should be directly connected, can also be implemented by the fact that the boundary floor is guided by at least one provided on the evaporator guide rail to the evaporator. This makes it possible, for cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator compartment floor to raise the evaporator together with the boundary floor, and then to clean or maintain the underlying evaporator room floor. In deviation to the generic Warenpräsentern after the DE 83 33 748 U1 , of the DE 83 15 973 U1 and the DE 77 18 829 U in which the corresponding guide rails are provided on the body of the goods presenter, thus forming the boundary bottom, although it is displaceable with respect to the evaporator along the guide rail or guide, and the evaporator, a structural unit which can be moved together, what then facilitates cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator compartment floor. It may then be necessary to clean or maintain the evaporator compartment floor through the opened goods compartment opening. In light of the considerable expense that must be operated in the generic approaches, however, this disadvantage appears justifiable.

Accordingly, a cleaning or maintenance at a goods presenter for the presentation of goods to be kept cool, comprising a goods space, which in turn comprises an evaporator space and arranged above the evaporator room goods presentation space, wherein the goods presentation space is limited by a bottom usable as a commodity floor, the with a horizontal component displaceable and with a horizontal component by a, in a presentation state of the Warenpräsenters, by means of an openable cover, closed goods space opening from the goods space is removable, and wherein the evaporator is arranged below the boundary floor and in the evaporator space an evaporator is provided as simple as possible if the Warenpresententerdas characterized in that the boundary floor is guided by means of at least one provided on the evaporator guide rail on the evaporator.

Also, a cleaning or a maintenance accordingly in a method for cleaning a Warenpräsenters for presentation of goods to be kept cool, comprising a goods room, which in turn comprises an evaporator compartment and arranged above the evaporator compartment goods display space, the goods presentation room down through a usable as a commodity floor boundary floor is limited, which is displaceable with a horizontal component and with a horizontal component by a, in a state of presentation of the Warenpräsenters, by means of an openable cover, closed goods space opening from the goods space is removable, and wherein the evaporator space arranged below the boundary floor and in the evaporator space, an evaporator is intended to be as simple as possible, when the method is characterized in that for the cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator compartment floor first opened the goods compartment opening and then the evaporator g is raised together with the boundary floor, to then clean or maintain the underlying evaporator room floor.

It is understood that the horizontal component, with which the boundary floor is displaceable, does not necessarily have to correspond in size to a displacement in the horizontal component, by means of which the boundary floor is removable from the goods space. This is especially true when the boundary floor is guided on the evaporator and the evaporator in turn displaced, in particular tiltable, is. This can lead to slightly different directions of movement of the boundary floor being present for smaller displacements than if the boundary floor is to be completely removed from the goods space through the goods space opening.

Preferably, the horizontal component, with which the boundary floor is displaceable and / or removable from the goods space through the goods space opening, is sufficiently large in comparison to the total movement path with which the boundary floor is displaceable and / or removable from the goods space through the goods space opening even during the movement of goods can remain on the boundary floor. In this way, a removal of goods or a loading of goods can be done according to simple, as this, the boundary floor can be easily removed from the goods room. On the other hand, it should be understood that, for example, when the evaporator room floor is to be cleaned or maintained, the confinement floor together with the evaporator may be brought into a position in which goods would slip off the confining floor. In such a case, then, before cleaning or servicing the evaporator room floor, the confining floor should be freed from corresponding goods that can slip down.

Preferably, the evaporator is mounted liftably in the evaporator space, which accordingly allows cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator compartment floor, but can also facilitate cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator itself.

A particularly stable storage of the evaporator via a tilting joint or a Rotary joint, which in itself allow reliable guidance of the evaporator during lifting or during lowering.

A lifting, but also a lowering, can be facilitated by the fact that the evaporator is mounted by means of at least one gas spring. In particular, the gas spring can be dimensioned such that the evaporator remains in its raised position without further action, so that cleaning and maintenance activities under the evaporator, on the evaporator space bottom and / or on the evaporator itself can be easily performed.

Preferably, a handle is attached to the evaporator, so that on the one hand the evaporator itself but also on the other hand, the common arrangement of boundary bottom and evaporator can be easily raised and lowered again. A handle can also be helpful in dismantling the evaporator when it is to be taken from the evaporator compartment.

Preferably, the guide rail is removable from the evaporator, so that the evaporator and possibly also the guide rail can be cleaned as easily as possible. Accordingly, it is advantageous if, to clean or maintain the evaporator, a guide leading the boundary bottom is removed from the evaporator.

It should be emphasized at this point that, of course, two or more guide rails can be provided as a guide of the boundary bottom of the evaporator.

Preferably, the cover which closes the goods space opening in the presentation state of the goods presenter, designed as a flap. If the goods space is opened, the flap remains on the body or frame of the goods presenter and therefore does not need to be stored anywhere, which would be questionable for hygienic reasons.

It is understood that the flap can also be designed to be removable for special maintenance and cleaning purposes by, for example, a corresponding hinged joint is formed separable. It should be assumed, however, that such complex cleaning work is not carried out regularly or must be carried out.

This can open the flap up or to the side. Possibly. the flap can also be designed to be split, so that it does not protrude too far into the space surrounding the goods presenter, in particular in the case of a lateral opening. Preferably, the flap folds down, since the boundary floor is naturally relatively low as the bottom floor, so that the flap when it is folded down, any activities such as removal of the boundary floor or a loading or removal of goods hindered as little as possible ,

Possibly. can be provided on the flap a shelf on which small parts, such as cake tongs or cake server, can be stored as long as the door is closed.

In order for the merchandiser to fulfill its presenting function as far as possible and to generate the highest possible purchase pressure, it is advantageous if at least one further merchandise bottom is arranged in the merchandise display space above the delimiting floor. Depending on the specific type of goods can of course also be provided several goods shelves here.

In the present context, the bottommost bottom of the goods is referred to as the boundary bottom, below which then the evaporator or the evaporator chamber can be found. Possibly. can, as already in the DE 83 15 973 U1 discloses, below the boundary floor still be provided a separating bottom, which is not to be stocked with goods and only the support and storage of goods trays and / or possibly serves as a strainer.

In practice, it has been found that, in particular, the evaporator room floor must be cleaned frequently, since particles and liquids can fall from the goods floors down, while the evaporator itself is often sufficiently protected by the boundary floor against direct contamination, so here cleaning work usually not be done quite often.

It is understood that the features of the solutions described above or in the claims can optionally also be combined in order to implement the advantages in a cumulative manner.

The merchandise presenter shown in the figures 10 each have a frame 30 on which one on a ground 14 stands and represents a corpus holding a goods room 20 surrounds. In addition to not further explained walls includes the frame 30 on the one hand viewing windows 38 holding a merchandise presentation room 24 especially to a customer side 52 leave visible behind, with this product presentation space 24 goods floors 12 includes on which goods can be presented to customers.

In addition to the goods presentation room 24 includes the goods room 20 another evaporator room 22 in which an evaporator 40 is arranged, such as in the 4 to 8th on the basis of the goods presenter 10 of the 2 shown, it being understood that a corresponding evaporator 40 also at the goods presenter 10 to 1 is provided.

The goods presentation room 24 and the evaporator room 22 are each through boundary floors 26 separated from each other, which also as a goods floor 12 can be used.

The evaporator room 22 indicates, as exemplarily in 6 represented, an evaporator room floor 28 and forms a kind of tub, which the goods space 20 closes down.

Through the floor 14 on which the goods presenter 10 are arranged, can be horizontal components 16 as well as a vertical 18 define.

All embodiments have in common that the lowest cover 34 a goods room opening 32 openable closes, through which the boundary floor 26 with a horizontal component 16 from the goods room 20 is removable.

The customer side 53 Opposite are the goods presenters 10 one operator side each 54 on, from which the goods rooms 20 are each accessible. The latter is about covers 34 . 36 possible, each formed as flaps, wherein the covers 34 . 36 together with the lenses 38 and the rest of the frame 30 the goods presenter 10 designed as refrigerated display cases. It is understood, however, that with a slightly different shape of the lenses 38 and omitting the covers 36 similar goods presenter 10 can also be designed in counter mold, as long as the boundary floors 26 or the lowest floor of the goods 12 through a goods room opening 32 after opening the cover 34 is accessible.

The covers 34 . 36 are each formed as flaps in the present embodiment. Here are the flaps 34 and 36 which the goods floors 12 are each assigned to flip down, while lateral flaps 36 , which make a delimited goods space accessible to the side are hinged.

Around the boundary floors 26 each with a horizontal component 16 from the goods room 20 to remove are at the evaporator 40 guide rails 48 provided, as exemplified in 7 and 8th shown.

In addition, at the boundary floors 26 a handle 47 provided, which also has a horizontal displacement of the boundary floor 26 facilitated.

The guide rails 48 thus form a guide for the boundary floor 26 and are from the evaporator 40 designed removable, so that the latter can be cleaned and maintained easy and reliable.

The evaporator 40 is, in particular in 6 exemplified by a tilting joint or swivel joint 42 and a gas spring 44 on the frame 30 or in the evaporator space 22 stored. To lift the evaporator 40 over the tilting joint or the swivel joint 42 or the gas spring 44 To facilitate, also points the evaporator 40 a handle 46 on, which is configured in these embodiments as a continuous axis.

So that the evaporator in its operating position, in which also the boundary floor 26 is used for the presentation of goods, remains reliable, he has a detent 45 on the frame 30 or in the evaporator space 22 on.

To the evaporator 40 lift and the evaporator room floor 28 To clean or to be able to wait, is the detent 45 to solve. Then the evaporator 40 together with the boundary floor 26 over the handle 46 be raised as exemplified in 6 shown. This then allows easy cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator room floor 28 ,

Should the evaporator 40 even be cleaned or serviced, so after the cover 34 the goods room opening 32 open, the boundary floor 26 from the goods room 20 be removed, like this one in 7 is shown as an example. In this position, the boundary floor 26 possibly also easily stocked with goods or it can be goods from the boundary floor 26 be easily removed.

Starting from the in 7 The position shown can also be the boundary floor 26 from the guide or from the guide rails 48 be removed separately and completely, which state then in 8th is shown as an example. Already in this state is the evaporator 40 almost freely accessible and can be maintained or cleaned.

Because of the guide rails 48 are designed to be removable, they can then be removed, even in the area of the guide rails 48 good access to the evaporator 40 to enable.
