Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Warenpräsentationsbehälter, insbesondere eine Kühltheke, mit einem Gehäuse sowie einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung auf LED-Basis und einer Kühleinrichtung, wobei die Beleuchtungseinrichtung im Bereich einer Entnahmeöffnung für Waren angeordnet ist, und wobei die Beleuchtungseinrichtung ein Leuchtengehäuse aufweist, welches kopfseitig durch eine Transparentabdeckung verschlossen ist und in seinem Innern einzelne LED's sowie eine Stromversorgungseinrichtung für die LED's aufnimmt.The invention relates to a goods presentation container, in particular a refrigerated display, with a housing and a lighting device based on LED and a cooling device, wherein the lighting device is arranged in the region of a removal opening for goods, and wherein the lighting device has a lamp housing, which is closed at the head by a transparent cover is and receives in its interior individual LEDs and a power supply device for the LED's.
Solche Warenpräsentationsbehälter bzw. Kühltheken werden allgemein für die Warenpräsentation von zu kühlenden Waren eingesetzt und kommen sowohl in Selbstbedienungsgeschäften als auch bei der Kundenbedienung in Ladengeschäften wie Fleischereien oder dergleichen zum Einsatz. Dabei verfügt der Warenpräsentationsbehälter bzw. die Kühltheke allgemein über eine Kühlwanne, die von einem Warenboden zur Warenauslage abgedeckt wird. In der Kühlwanne ist ein Kühlaggregat zusammen mit einem Lüfter angeordnet, welcher für die Erzeugung einer die Warenauslage überströmenden Luftzirkulation und letztendlich die Kühlung der präsentierten Waren sorgt.Such goods presentation containers or refrigerated counters are generally used for the merchandise presentation of goods to be cooled and are used both in self-service shops and in customer service in shops such as butchers or the like. In this case, the goods presentation container or the refrigerated display generally has a cooling trough, which is covered by a shelf for goods display. In the cooling pan, a cooling unit is arranged together with a fan, which provides for the generation of a merchandise display overflowing air circulation and ultimately the cooling of the presented goods.
Ein Warenpräsentationsbehälter der eingangs beschriebenen Ausgestaltung wird in der
Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, einen derartigen Warenpräsentationsbehälter so weiter zu entwickeln, dass eine für den beschriebenen Anwendungsfall prädestinierte Beleuchtungseinrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt wird und die Qualität der gekühlten Waren keine Beeinträchtigung erfährt.The invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a goods presentation container so that a lighting device predestined for the described application is made available and the quality of the cooled goods undergoes no impairment.
Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung ist ein gattungsgemäßer Warenpräsentationsbehälter im Rahmen der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Leuchtengehäuse der Beleuchtungseinrichtung mit Eintrittsöffnungen für im Gehäuse des Warenpräsentationsbehälter zirkulierende Kühlluft ausgerüstet ist. - Dabei können die Eintrittsöffnungen an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Leuchtengehäuses angeordnet werden, und zwar in Richtung des Kühlluftstromes. Beispielsweise empfiehlt es sich, die Eintrittsöffnungen an den beiden Stirnseiten des Leuchtengehäuses und/oder an zwei Flankenseiten vorzusehen. In der Regel ist das Leuchtengehäuse langerstreckt quaderförmig ausgeführt wobei im Querschnitt an eine U-förmige Grundfläche die im Querschnitt bogenförmige Transparentabdeckung zum kopfseitigen Verschluss anschließt.To solve this technical problem, a generic goods presentation container in the invention is characterized in that the lamp housing of the lighting device is equipped with inlet openings for circulating in the housing of the goods presentation container cooling air. - The inlet openings can be arranged on opposite sides of the lamp housing, in the direction of the cooling air flow. For example, it is advisable to provide the inlet openings on the two end faces of the lamp housing and / or on two flank sides. As a rule, the luminaire housing is elongated in the form of a cuboid, the cross-sectionally transparent cover for the head-side closure being connected in cross-section to a U-shaped base.
Jedenfalls sorgen die vorzugsweise in Strömungsrichtung der Kühlluft angeordneten Eintrittsöffnungen dafür, dass die Kühlluft ungehindert in das Leuchtengehäuse eintreten kann und dieses durchströmt. Auf diese Weise wird die erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungseinrichtung bzw. werden die dort realisierten LED's inklusive der Stromversorgungseinrichtung gekühlt. Tatsächlich erreicht man an dieser Stelle Temperaturen von unter 10 °C.In any case, the inlet openings, which are preferably arranged in the flow direction of the cooling air, ensure that the cooling air can enter the luminaire housing unhindered and flows through it. In this way, the illumination device according to the invention or the LEDs realized there including the power supply device is cooled. In fact, temperatures of less than 10 ° C can be reached at this point.
Das führt dazu, dass die Effizienz der LED's gegenüber Anwendungen bei Raumtemperatur gesteigert ist, weil bekanntermaßen Halbleiterbauelemente im Allgemeinen und LED's mit ihren pn-Übergängen im Besonderen mit sinkender Temperatur eine gesteigerte Effizienz aufweisen. Das heißt, im Vergleich zu den bisher eingesetzten Leuchtstoffröhren kommt es in Kombination mit der zirkulierenden Kühlluft zu einer verbesserten und nicht verschlechterten Lichtabgabe der Beleuchtungseinrichtung. Außerdem ist die Wärmeentwicklung von LED's gering, weil nahezu sämtliche zur Verfügung gestellte elektrische Leistung in Lichtenergie umgewandelt wird, so dass an dieser Stelle mit Konversionsraten von deutlich über 80 % oder sogar mehr als 90 % gerechnet werden kann.As a result, the efficiency of LED's is increased over room temperature applications because semiconductor devices in general and LED's with their pn junctions, in particular, have increased efficiency with decreasing temperature. That is, in comparison with the fluorescent tubes used so far in combination with the circulating cooling air to an improved and not deteriorated light output of the lighting device. In addition, the heat development of LEDs is low, because almost all provided electrical power is converted into light energy, so that at this point with conversion rates of well over 80% or even more than 90% can be expected.
Die Gefahr, dass einzelne Waren durch eine mit der Lichtabstrahlung verbundene Erwärmung in ihrer Haltbarkeit beeinträchtigt werden, besteht also nicht. Ebenso kann gegenüber bisherigen Ausgestaltungen mit verringerter Leistung der Kühleinrichtung gearbeitet werden, weil die Wärmeentwicklung verringert ist. In Verbindung mit der erhöhten Lichtausbeute und dem geringen Energieverbrauch ergeben sich also unmittelbare Kostenvorteile gegenüber bisherigen Ausführungsformen, die noch dadurch gesteigert werden, dass die eingesetzten LED's eine gegenüber den Leuchtstoffröhren deutlich erhöhte Lebensdauer aufweisen. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.The risk that individual goods are affected by a connected with the light radiation heating in their durability, so there is not. Likewise, it can be compared to previous designs with reduced power of the cooling device to work, because the heat generation is reduced. In conjunction with the increased light output and the low energy consumption, there are therefore immediate cost advantages over previous embodiments, which are further enhanced by the fact that the LEDs used have a significantly increased lifetime compared to the fluorescent tubes. Here are the main benefits.
In der Regel wird mit einer Leiste gearbeitet, die mit etlichen LED's bestückt ist, weil der Warenpräsentationsbehälter regelmäßig Breiten von einem oder mehreren Metern aufweist, so dass die entsprechend groß gestaltete Warenauslage über die gesamte Länge von der Vielzahl an LED's ausgeleuchtet werden muss. Dabei setzt die Erfindung in der Regel als LED's sogenannte Weißlicht-LED's ein. In diesem Zusammenhang hat sich das Konzept der monolithischen Integration mehrerer Halbleiterschichten und entsprechender pn-Übergänge auf einem Substrat bewährt. Die Halbleitermaterialien sind derart zusammengesetzt, dass in den betreffenden pn-Übergängen durch Strominjektion Licht mit verschiedenen Wellenlängen erzeugt wird.In general, worked with a bar that is equipped with several LEDs, because the goods presentation container regularly widths of one or several meters, so that the correspondingly large-scale merchandise display must be lit over the entire length of the plurality of LEDs. In this case, the invention usually uses as LED's so-called white light LEDs. In this context, the concept of monolithic integration of multiple semiconductor layers and corresponding pn junctions on a substrate has proven itself. The semiconductor materials are such composed of the fact that in the pn-junctions concerned by current injection light with different wavelengths is generated.
Dabei kann beispielsweise mit drei pn-Übergängen je LED gearbeitet werden, die Licht mit Wellenlängen der Komplementärfarben rot, grün und blau emittieren, wodurch der optische Effekt einer Weißlichtquelle hervorgerufen wird. Dieses Konzept hat den Vorteil, dass sich im Prinzip mischfarbiges Licht jeder beliebigen Farbe und gewünschter Nuancierung erreichen lässt, wodurch sich eine Vielzahl von Anwendungsgebieten ergibt. Insbesondere besteht die Möglichkeit, die solchermaßen ausgeführten Weißlicht-LED's an das Spektrum eines Schwarzstrahlers mit ca. 4000 Kelvin Temperatur anzupassen. Ein solcher Schwarzstrahler zeichnet sich durch eine besonders "warme" weiße Farbe aus und wird vom menschlichen Auge als ausgesprochen angenehm empfunden. Selbstverständlich lassen sich auch andere Spektren mit einem solchen monolithischen Halbleiterbaustein nachempfinden.In this case, it is possible, for example, to work with three pn junctions per LED, which emit light with wavelengths of the complementary colors red, green and blue, which causes the optical effect of a white light source. This concept has the advantage that, in principle, mixed-color light of any desired color and desired shade can be achieved, resulting in a multiplicity of fields of application. In particular, it is possible to adapt the thus implemented white-light LEDs to the spectrum of a blackbody with about 4000 Kelvin temperature. Such a black spotlight is characterized by a particularly "warm" white color and is perceived by the human eye as extremely pleasant. Of course, other spectra can be simulated with such a monolithic semiconductor device.
Bekanntermaßen verfügt ein Schwarzstrahler bzw. ein schwarzer Körper über eine spektrale Intensitätsverteilung, die nach dem Planckschen Strahlungsgesetz in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur (in Kelvin) bestimmt werden kann. Mit Weißlicht-LED's stehen nun Strahlquellen zur Verfügung, die in erster Näherung hierdurch (unter Berücksichtigung einer angenommenen Temperatur, im Beispielfall 4000 K) beschrieben werden können.As is known, a blackbody or a black body has a spectral intensity distribution which can be determined according to Planck's law of radiation as a function of the temperature (in Kelvin). With white light LEDs, beam sources are now available, which can be described as a first approximation (taking into account an assumed temperature, 4000 K in the example).
Hinzu kommt, dass das aus den jeweiligen LED's austretende Licht gegebenenfalls gefiltert und aufgefächert wird. Hierfür sorgt eine vorgesetzte Optik. Diese Optik mag als Prismenoptik oder eine solche aus Fresnellinsen ausgeführt sein und lässt sich vorteilhaft im Rahmen einer entsprechend gestalteten Kunststofffolie oder Kunststoffkappe realisieren, wie dies beispielsweise in der
Hierbei geht die Erfindung von der Erkenntnis aus, dass typische Weißlicht-LED's in der Regel in einen Raumwinkelbereich von ca. 60° bis 80° abstrahlen, wobei für den beschriebenen Anwendungsfall zur Beleuchtung der Warenauslage in einem Warenpräsentationsbehälter vergrößerte Raumwinkel von 100° bis 120° oder sogar noch mehr wünschenswert sind. Um nun diesen Raumwinkelbereich zu vergrößern, ist die angesprochene Optik bzw. Prismen- oder Facettenoptik vorgesetzt und sorgt für die gewünschte Strahlaufweitung auf 100° bis 120° oder sogar noch mehr.The invention is based on the recognition that typical white light LEDs radiate usually in a solid angle range of about 60 ° to 80 °, wherein for the described application to illuminate the merchandise display in a Warenpräsentationsbehälter enlarged solid angle of 100 ° to 120 ° or even more desirable. In order to increase this solid angle range, the addressed optics or prism or facet optics is provided and ensures the desired beam expansion to 100 ° to 120 ° or even more.
Um den Einbau möglichst kostengünstig und wenig aufwändig zu gestalten, ist die Beleuchtungseinrichtung auf LED-Basis bzw. die LED-Beleuchtungseinrichtung zusammen mit einer Stromversorgungseinrichtung und gegebenenfalls der Optik bzw. Prismenoptik zu einem Modul zusammengefasst. Dieses Modul lässt sich als Baueinheit in Gestalt eines Beleuchtungsstabes ähnlich einer Leuchtstoffröhre problemlos kopfseitig der beschriebenen Entnahmeöffnung platzieren. Durch den kompakten Aufbau können zudem bestehende Warenpräsentationsbehälter mit beispielsweise einer Leuchtstoffröhre als Beleuchtungseinrichtung problemlos umgerüstet werden.In order to make installation as cost-effective and inexpensive as possible, the LED-based illumination device or the LED illumination device is combined to form a module together with a power supply device and optionally the optics or prism optics. This module can be easily placed as a unit in the form of a lighting rod similar to a fluorescent tube on the head side of the described removal opening. Due to the compact design also existing goods presentation container with, for example, a fluorescent tube as a lighting device can be easily converted.
Dabei weist die Stromversorgungseinrichtung im Detail wenigstens einen Netzspannungswandler und einen Gleichrichter auf. Zusätzlich mag ein Dimmer zur Leistungssteuerung der LED's vorgesehen sein, was jedoch nicht zwingend ist. Mit Hilfe des Netzspannungswandlers lässt sich die Stromversorgungseinrichtung bzw. die Beleuchtungseinrichtung auf LED-Basis unmittelbar an die übliche Wechsel- bzw. Netzspannung von 220 V anschließen, was ergänzend zu dem kompakten Charakter den Austausch gegenüber bisherigen Leuchtstoffröhren vereinfacht und den Einbau erleichtert. Das heißt, die erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungseinrichtung auf LED-Basis ist letztlich als Austauschmodul im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Leuchtstoffröhren ausgebildet.In this case, the power supply device in detail at least one mains voltage converter and a rectifier. In addition, a dimmer for power control of the LED's may be provided, which is not mandatory. With the help of the mains voltage converter, the power supply device or the lighting device can be connected directly to the usual AC or mains voltage of 220 V LED-based, which in addition to the compact character simplifies the replacement of previous fluorescent tubes and facilitates installation. That is, the LED-based lighting device according to the invention is ultimately designed as an exchange module in comparison to conventional fluorescent tubes.
Dabei verfügt das Modul bzw. die Baueinheit aus den LED's, der Optik und der Stromversorgungseinrichtung - wie bereits dargelegt - an seinem Leuchtengehäuse über die angesprochenen Eintrittsöffnungen, welche den Eintritt der durch den Warenpräsentationsbehälter zirkulierenden Kühlluft von der Kühleinrichtung begünstigen.In this case, the module or the assembly of the LED's, the optics and the power supply device - as already stated - on its luminaire housing on the addressed inlet openings, which favor the entry of circulating through the goods presentation container cooling air from the cooling device.

Zusätzlich sorgt der nachgeschaltete Gleichrichter dafür, dass die einzelnen LED's 7 mit der erforderlichen Gleichniederspannung versorgt werden. Die die einzelnen LED's 7 aufnehmende Leiste 8 mit der darunter befindlichen Stromversorgungseinrichtung 9 wird insgesamt von einem Leuchtengehäuse 10 umschlossen, welches von der zirkulierenden Kühlluft umströmt wird, so dass die Beleuchtungseinrichtung 6 insgesamt eine Kühlung mit den einleitend bereits beschriebenen Wirkungen erfährt.With the help of the mains voltage converter, a mains voltage (usually 220 volt AC voltage) can be transformed down to values that are compatible with the
Tatsächlich ist das Leuchtengehäuse 10 kopfseitig mit einer Transparentabdeckung 12 verschlossen, die vorliegend als Optik 12 ausgeführt ist. Im Innern des Leuchtengehäuses 10 finden sich die LED's 7 in Verbindung mit der Leiste 8 sowie die Stromversorgungseinrichtung 9. Durch Eintrittsöffnungen 11 im Leuchtengehäuse 10 kann nun in dem Gehäuse 1 des Warenpräsentationsbehälters ohnehin zirkulierende Kühlluft in das betreffende Leuchtengehäuse 10 eintreten. Dabei sind die Eintrittsöffnungen 11 in der Regel in Strömungsrichtung der Kühlluft angeordnet, beispielsweise an gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten und Flachseiten des Leuchtengehäuses 10, wie dies in der
Das Leuchtengehäuse 10 verfügt über eine im Querschnitt U-förmige Grundfläche, die von der im Querschnitt bogenförmigen Transparentabdeckung 12 verschlossen wird. Vorliegend ist die Transparentabdeckung bzw. Optik 12 als Prismenoptik ausgebildet, wie der vergrößerte Ausschnitt in
Die Optik 12 formt in Verbindung mit der Stromversorgungseinrichtung 9 und den LED's 7 (sowie der Leiste 8 und dem Leuchtengehäuse 10) eine kompakte Baueinheit bzw. ein funktionsfertiges Einbaumodul 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, welches sich unmittelbar im Kopfbereich der Entnahmeöffnung 5 hinter einer Blende 13 anbringen lässt, wie dies in der
Die LED's 7 sind im Wesentlichen an das Spektrum eines Schwarzstrahlers mit ca. 4000 Kelvin Temperatur angepasst und erzeugen hierdurch eine warme weiße Farbe, die vom menschlichen Auge als besonders angenehm und natürlich empfunden wird. Dadurch werden die auf der Warenauslage 2 präsentierten und mit Hilfe der Kühleinrichtung 3 gekühlten Waren 4 in ein besonders angenehmes Licht - ausgehend von der Beleuchtungseinrichtung 6 - getaucht.The LED's 7 are essentially adapted to the spectrum of a blackbody with about 4000 Kelvin temperature and thereby produce a warm white color, which is perceived by the human eye as particularly pleasant and natural. As a result, the
