Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to deep freezer insulating glass assembly frame.

The invention particularly relates to an insulating glass assembly that provides adaptation of insulating glasses to each other and to the freezer in refrigerated display cabinet with external motor with pool type, horizontal and combi type refrigerators and similar structure that do not require any supported service.

State of the Art

Usually, refrigerated display cabinets are used in the markets so as to provide easy access to products from outside in the sale of food products. These refrigerated display cabinets can be in the form of pool type or horizontal and combi type coolers. Pool-type or horizontal and combi-type deep freezers consist of insulating glass that defines the lateral display walls of the cabinets and surrounds them all around, and assembly frames that are used to connect the said insulating glasses to each other and to the freezer body.

The assembly frames consist of plastic and aluminium parts and limit the ability to see the displayed products clearly. Furthermore, assembly frame components cannot make a precise joining with each other and dew occurs on the surface of the glass due to condensation. Dew forms a visual drawback on the glass, reducing the visibility of the products and preventing the desired products from being easily detected by the consumer. Moreover, it is necessary to increase the power of the anti-condensation heating resistances that must be used for the solution of condensation and this leads to extra energy consumption and cost.

Furthermore, in case more than one freezer is required to be combined so as to create large display areas, planarity problems are seen in both insulating glass and handrail plastics located on the insulating glass during the assembly of the freezer cabinets. The application numbered TR 2009/08817 relates to the novelties performed in the case and frame structure in industrial coolers. Said invention describes case and frame structures that comprise a main frame profile used in industrial type cooling cabinets, a glass frame profile that enables the positioning of the glass, and an additional frame profile remaining inside the refrigerator. The inventive structure minimizes the heat transfer between cold air in the cabinet and room temperature, it describes an outer surface which is made from a non-conductive material between the main frame profile that prevents sweating inside the cabinet and on the products and the additional case profile, on which the glass is placed that provides said glass frame profile not visible from outside.

The application numbered TR 2016/05715 relates to a channel guide for refrigerated cabinets. The invention relates to a horizontal type cooling cabinet having at least one glass door which is used for storing, displaying and selling food and beverages without spoiling and a channel housing the glass located on the said glass cover and it comprises a channel guide that is positioned on the side where the glass is used on said channel, enables said glass to be easily assembled and disassembled.

As a result, due to the abovementioned disadvantages and the insufficiency of the current solutions regarding the subject matter, a development is required to be made in the relevant technical field.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description, the inventive assembly frame (10) is described only for clarifying the subject matter in a manner such that no limiting effect is created.

The inventive assembly frame (10) is used in a pool type cooler and deep freezers with horizontal combi type coolers. Said deep freezers consist of front body panels provided on a freezer body and opposite side body panels. The assembly frame (10) is used for the assembly of the front body panel and side body panels and further for the assembly of the insulating glasses (20) to the front body panel and side body panels. The insulating glasses (20) located in the deep freezers are assembled with the profiles in relation to the assembly frame (10).

The mounting carcass (10), whose top section view is given in Figure 1 consists of the following; insulating glass lower plastic profile (11) where the lower edge of the insulating glass (20) is guided, the double glazing side plastic profiles (12) where the side edges of the insulating glass are guided, the handrail plastic profile (13) where the upper edges of the double glazing are guided, the side panel corner profile (14) where said insulating glass side plastic profiles (11) are guided, corner handrail (15) positioned in the connection areas of said handrail plastic profiles (13) and joining plastic profiles (16) that connect the insulating glass side plastics (12) to each other in connecting the cabinets to each other. In Figure 2, a view in which the lower insulating glass plastic profile (11) and the handrail plastic profile (13) are adapted on the insulating glass (20) is given.

Said insulating glass lower plastic profile (11) seen in Figure 3 is a channel formed structure where the lower edge of the insulating glass (20) is placed and it minimizes the possible dew problem by making a precise joining with insulating glass (20) and furthermore it ensure to reduce the heater resistance powers used to prevent dew formation.

The insulating glass side plastic profile (12) seen in Figure 4 is a channel formed structure where the side edge of the insulating glass (20) is placed and it minimizes the possible dew problem by making a precise joining with insulating glass (20) and furthermore it ensure to reduce the heater resistance powers used to prevent dew formation. There is a female connection channel (121) configured along the length of the profile in the insulating glass side plastic profile (12).

Said handrail plastic profile (13) seen in Figure 5 is a channel formed structure where the upper edge of the insulating glass (20) is placed and it minimizes the possible dew problem by making a precise joining with insulating glass (20) and furthermore it ensure to reduce the heater resistance powers used to prevent dew formation. The centering pin holes (131) are configured in the handrail plastic profile (13). The handrail plastic profiles (13) in freezer cabinet joints can be cantered by pinning each other by means of said centering pin holes (131) thus; it is possible to prevent possible planarity problems.

There are co-ex tongue structures (17) on the inner surface of the insulating glass lower plastic profile (11 ), on the inner surface of the insulating glass side plastic profiles (12) and on the inner surface of the handrail plastic profile (13). Said tongue configurations (17) contacts the surfaces of the insulating glass (20), balances possible dimensional deviations in glass dimensions and also acts as a barrier against the thermal bridge.

The side panel corner profile (14) shown in Figure 6 comprises two connection wings (141) that are configured to extend sufficiently perpendicular to each other and a male connection extension (142) configured at the ends of said connection wings (141). Said male connection extensions (142) are guided within said female connection channels (121) of the insulating glass side plastic profiles (12) so as to join the insulating glass side plastic profiles (12) on the side panel corner profile (14) (Figure 9). It is provided to assemble the insulating glasses (20) to each other with this guiding process. Furthermore, side panel corner profile (14) has a feather structure and allows the insulating side plastic profile (12) to form a durable connection point in the realized corner joints.

The corner handrail (15) seen in Figure 7 provides to hide the areas where the handrail plastic profiles (13) are assembled to each other and to obtain a hygienic closing in the profile joints. It is designed with a nailed structure so as to disassemble and assemble easily when required.

The joining plastic profile (16) seen in Figure 8 is an assembly frame (10) element used in case a plurality of freezers are connected to each other. After the freezer cabinets are connected to each other, it mounts the insulating glass side plastic profiles (12) preferably extending in the horizontal direction. There are channel settlement ends (161) configured at four corners of the joining plastic profile (16) and said channel settlement ends (161) are guided in the female connection channel (121) of the insulating glass side plastic profile (12) and it provides to engage insulating glass side plastic profiles (12) with each other (Figure 10).
