Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an equipment for adjusting the temperature and thawing a temperature-controlled article, comprising a housing having the temperature-controlled article, a heating module for transmitting heat to at least one side surface of the temperature-controlled article, and an actuator for movably mounting the temperature-controlled article.

[0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for adjusting the temperature and thawing a temperature-controlled article, in which a pressing force is partially applied to the temperature-controlled article by an adjusting element within a preset time interval.

Background Art

[0003] An equipment for thawing a temperature-controlled article is known from US Patent No. 6,748,164. In this equipment, the temperature-controlled article is surrounded by a heating mechanism. A warm liquid is circulated within the heating mechanism. Heat is transmitted from the heating mechanism to the temperature-controlled article by direct thermal contact between the heating mechanism and the temperature-controlled article. To accelerate the thawing process, a housing base that can be periodically moved up and down is configured as an adjusting mechanism. The heating mechanism is arranged on this housing base. Therefore, the heating mechanism is shifted to a swivel movement. In this case, the swivel axis extends along the periphery of the heating mechanism. Therefore, the temperature-controlled article is indirectly swiveled. In this case, the peripheral surface is arranged near the swivel axis.

[0004] Equipment for thawing a temperature-controlled article is known from U.S. Patent No. 8,012,416. In this case, opposite sides of the temperature-controlled article are each in contact with a heating mechanism. The lower heating mechanism is disposed on a plurality of support plates. Each of these support plates is attached to an expandable cushion. These cushions are expanded semi-periodically so that one half of the heating mechanism is lifted with respect to a central plane and then the other half of the heating mechanism is lifted. Thus, the temperature-controlled article is first compressed in a first half with respect to the central plane and then compressed in a second half. A relatively high cost for temporarily and partially compressing the temperature-controlled article is a disadvantage of this equipment. The frequency or acceleration is relatively limited.

[0005] Equipment for adjusting the temperature and thawing a temperature-controlled article is known from European Patent No. 0,318,924. In this equipment, the temperature-controlled article is disposed between two heating mechanisms of a heating module. The heating mechanism is formed as a plastic bag. Warm liquid is circulated by a pump. A crank is disposed on a peripheral side of the heating mechanism. The crank is rotated by a motor so that the warm liquid contained within the heating bag is moved away from the crank, alternately compressing the peripheral side of the upper heating bag and the peripheral side of the lower heating bag. Thereby, moving vibrations that can be transmitted to the temperature-controlled article are generated within the heating bag.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] The problem of the present invention is temperature adjustment The objective is to improve the equipment for temperature-controlled and thawing temperature-controlled items so that efficiency can be easily further improved. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] This problem is solved by the present invention relating to the broader concept described in claim 1, characterized in that the actuator is formed as a mechanical adjustment element, the adjustment element ideally in direct contact with the temperature-controlled article, and the adjustment element is controllable so that it moves periodically and / or aperiodically.

[0009] The equipment of the present invention enables appropriate and direct movement control of a temperature-controlled article by directly contacting the article with a mechanical adjustment element. As a result, heat transfer from the heating mechanism to the temperature-controlled article can be accelerated. Preferably, the movement preset by the adjustment element can be transmitted directly and quickly to the temperature-controlled article. Movement from the adjustment element to the temperature-controlled article Intervention by another component during Unwanted External disturbance This can be avoided. In particular, the present invention allows for the relatively rapid exchange of a normally heated portion constituting the outer region of a temperature-controlled article with a normally cold portion constituting the core region of the temperature-controlled article. Thus, relatively rapid mixing of the temperature-controlled article is ensured. The temperature-controlled article may be configured as a liquid or gel contained in, for example, a bag. Thus, the present invention allows for relatively rapid mixing of the liquid or gel. The temperature-controlled article may be heated by electromagnetic induction, or by radiation (infrared, microwave), or by airflow. According to the present invention, a mechanical adjustment element is mechanically and directly bonded to the temperature-controlled article. Thus, intermittent moving impulses, in particular, can be directly transmitted to a portion of the temperature-controlled article.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mechanical adjustment element is controllable so that a swirling movement is performed. In this case, the temperature-controlled article is partially deflected along different paths from its extending surface. The temperature-controlled article is deformed or "kneaded." As a result, the refrigerated core and the already thawed portion of the temperature-controlled article flow or move inward. In particular, the swirling axis extends within the region of the central or transverse central plane. As a result, the temperature-controlled article reciprocates around its central plane like a boat paddle. Consequently, preferably, the refrigerated portion and the already thawed portion of the temperature-controlled article can move constantly within the already thawed portion of the temperature-controlled article during the reciprocating movement. This results in a non-uniform flow within the temperature-controlled article. In this case, the cold liquid flows along the surface of the temperature-controlled article, thereby creating a higher temperature gradient from the heating element toward the temperature-controlled article. It has been demonstrated that this can reduce the thawing time by as much as 30%.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mechanical adjustment element is formed flat. The adjustment element may be formed to conform to the shape of the temperature-controlled article. As a result, linear and / or flat contact is obtained between the adjustment element and the temperature-controlled article. Preferably, the adjustment element is formed in a planar shape. As a result, the adjustment element can be positioned in a space-saving manner between the temperature-controlled article and the heating element.

[0012] According to a further configuration of the present invention, the adjustment element is formed as a rod element consisting of a plurality of rods surrounding an opening. This opening allows the heating mechanism to come into direct contact with the temperature-controlled article. In this case, the heat transfer surface between the heating mechanism and the temperature-controlled article is reduced to the smallest possible size compared to equipment without an adjustment element.

[0013] According to a further configuration of the present invention, the adjustment element has a peripheral surface that is adapted to the peripheral surface of the temperature-controlled article. By adapting to the dimensional ratio of the temperature-controlled article, pivoting movement can be performed with the application of a relatively small force.

[0014] According to a further configuration of the present invention, the adjustment element is coupled to an actuator, particularly a stepping motor. In this case, the actuator controls the adjustment element so that it reciprocates periodically and / or aperiodicly between a maximum adjustment angle and a minimum adjustment angle. In particular, the reciprocating movement has a constant amplitude. The actuator may be configured as a magnetic or pneumatic mechanism instead of a motor. This causes the temperature-controlled article to reciprocate or paddle periodically and uniformly around the axis of rotation. Alternatively, this movement may be performed with an amplitude that changes over time.

[0015] According to a further configuration of the present invention, the adjustment element is controllable so that it rotates continuously at a frequency of 0.1 to 25 Hz. It has been found that the best temperature control results are obtained within this frequency range. In particular, the thawing time is shortened by intermittently and periodically or antiperiodically applying impact forces to multiple locations on the temperature-controlled article. For this reason, the adjustment element acts with high acceleration on multiple different locations on the temperature-controlled article.

[0016] According to a further configuration of the present invention, the adjustment element moves linearly and / or pivotally with an amplitude within the range of + / -2mm to + / -100mm, for example, + / -10mm to + / -30mm, and especially + / -25mm. This relatively small oscillation has been shown to produce good temperature control results.

[0017] According to a further configuration of the present invention, the rods of the rod element are formed from wire. Preferably, the metal wire reduces heat loss on the heat transfer surface. Also, because the mass of the wire is small, the heat capacity of the rod element is small. Rapid movement and high acceleration acting directly on the temperature-controlled article can be achieved by the rigid or stable structure of the wire. If the heating mechanism is formed as a fluid cushion, not only the temperature-controlled article but also the fluid cushion can be mixed or stimulated at the same time. Therefore, the regulating element can be easily manufactured. The regulating element exhibits sufficient rigidity for its intended use.

[0018] According to a further configuration of the present invention, multiple rod elements may be arranged along the pivot axis. Preferably, this can form multiple smaller enclosed surfaces. The pivot movement is directly transmitted to the temperature-controlled article by these surfaces.

[0019] According to a further configuration of the present invention, the heating mechanism may be formed as a temperature-regulating cushion or a gel cushion. The contents of the heating mechanism are heated electrically. Alternatively, the heating mechanism may be formed by a plastic bag containing a liquid temperature-regulating medium. In this case, the medium is circulated by a pump. The regulating elements of the present invention can be widely used regardless of the function of the heating mechanism.

[0020] To solve the aforementioned problem, the present invention, relating to the broader concept described in claim 18, is characterized in that the duration, amount, and / or strength of the adjustment element are changed depending on a preset point in time interval and / or the operating parameters or process parameters of the temperature-controlled article.

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0022] [Figure 1]This is a front side perspective view of the temperature-controlled article when the lid is open. In this case, the heating element is located on the bottom of the housing, and the mechanical adjustment element is located above the heating element. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view of the adjustment elements. [Figure 3] This is an exploded view in a vertical cross-section of multiple components arranged within the temperature control chamber of a temperature control device. [Figure 4] An example of a time chart showing the movement of the motor and the adjustment element is provided. [Figure 5] An example of a time chart of the runout of the rod surrounding the external region of a temperature-controlled article or the adjustment element is shown. [Figure 6] This is a front view of the temperature control chamber of a temperature control system. In this case, three temperature-controlled items are assigned to two wide sections of a control element that is offset along the pivot axis. [Figure 7] This is a front view of the temperature control chamber of a temperature control system. In this case, four temperature-controlled items are assigned to two wide sections of a control element that is offset along the pivot axis. [Figure 8] An example of a displacement / time chart based on the first movement transition of the present invention is shown. [Figure 9] An example of a displacement / time chart based on the second movement transition of the present invention is shown. [Figure 10] This is a front view of multiple adjustment elements. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] The present invention provides equipment for temperature control and thawing an article 1, comprising a housing 2. The upper part of the housing 2 is configured as a hinged lid 3. A lower base chamber 4 is provided within the internal space of the housing 2. Inside the base chamber 4, an electronic control unit and other components are provided to enable temperature control within a temperature control chamber 5 located above the base chamber 4. The housing 2 has an operating element 6 and a display device 7 on the vertical front surface of the base chamber 4. As a result, the thawing device comprising the housing 2 is operable by a person.

[0024] The temperature control chamber 5 has a fixed bottom 8. At the same time, the bottom 8 forms a partition wall with respect to the base chamber 4. The heating mechanism consists of a first heating element 9 located on the bottom 8 and a heating module 10 belonging to the first heating element 9 and located within the base chamber 4. A mechanical adjustment element 12 is positioned vertically on the upper surface 11 of the lower heating element 9. In the operating state of the defrosting device with the lid 3 closed, the temperature control chamber 5 has a layered structure in the vertical direction as shown in Figure 3. The temperature-controlled article 1 contacts the first adjustment element 12 vertically upward. The second adjustment element 13 contacts the temperature-controlled article 1 above. The temperature control chamber 5 is positioned on the longitudinal center plane L of the temperature-controlled article 1. T It forms an ideally symmetrical structure. One adjustment element 12, 13 and one heating element 9, 14 that abuts against this adjustment element are arranged on both sides of the temperature-controlled article 1.

[0025] The temperature-controlled article 1 is, for example, enclosed It consists of plasma or blood material encased in a bag serving as a container. Ideally, the bag of the temperature-controlled article 1 is relatively easy to form. For this purpose, the temperature-controlled article 1 has two opposing sides 15, 15' and a plurality of circumferentially constricted surfaces 16. These constricted surfaces 16 join the opposing sides 15, 15'. These sides 15, 15' are particularly rectangular in shape.

[0026] Alternatively, the temperature-controlled article 1 may be formed into a polygon by multiple different sides or sides of equal size. For example, the temperature-controlled article 1 may be formed in a pear shape or a cubic or ramp shape. In this case, the temperature-controlled article 1 is loaded into the temperature-controlled chamber 5. In this case, the temperature-controlled article 1 is held by the adjustment elements 12, 13 and / or heating elements 9, 14. Due to the particularly flexible structure of the temperature-controlled article, flat sides may occur, at least when the temperature-controlled article is in a state of continuous thawing. As a result, the heat transfer surface is increased compared to the initial state.

[0027] For better illustration, Figure 3 shows multiple components spaced apart from each other. In reality, these components overlap and are in close contact. Therefore, the lower first adjustment element 12 is in direct and planar contact with the lower side surface 15 of the temperature-controlled article 1 and the upper surface 11 of the lower first heating element 9. Contact The upper second adjustment element 13 is directly and planarly positioned between the upper side surface 15' of the temperature-controlled article 1 and the lower surface 17 of the upper second heating element 14. Contact They are doing it.

[0028] The first adjustment element 12 and the second adjustment element 13 can be formed to have the same structure. Each of these adjustment elements has two paddle portions 18 distributed along the longitudinal direction of the adjustment elements 12 and 13. Each of these paddle portions 18 consists of a rectangular rod 19. These paddle portions 18 are connected to each other by a connecting rod 20. This connecting rod 20 may extend continuously from the first end to the second end of the adjustment elements 12 and 13. A T-shaped member 21 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 20. This T-shaped member 21 is housed, for example, in a holder 22, which is locked in place. For this purpose, the holder 22 has a groove. The transverse rod on the end side of the T-shaped member 21 is housed in this groove. A hollow cylinder 23 is connected to the holder 22. The shaft of a motor (not shown) can be fixed and engaged within this hollow cylinder 23. In the operating position, the hollow cylinder 23 or shaft extends coaxially with respect to the connecting rod 20. Therefore, the connecting rod 20 extends along the pivot axis S. The motor is used as an actuator. Alternatively, the actuator may be configured pneumatically or magnetically, for example, as a lifting magnet or a rotary magnet.

[0029] The first adjustment element 12 and the second adjustment element 13 are adjusted by the motor to a maximum adjustment angle φ MAX and minimum adjustment angle -φ MAX They are capable of rotating periodically and / or aperiodically between the two. These adjustment elements are connected to the motor via an axis or via a gear system.

[0030] As can be seen from Figure 1, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are pivotally supported at different heights in the center of the temperature control chamber 5. Generally, the pivot axis S extends parallel to the side wall 24 of the temperature control chamber 5 and perpendicular to the rear wall 25 and front wall 26 of the temperature control chamber 5. The holders 22 of the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are located within the area of ​​the rear wall 25.

[0031] The pivot axis S is aligned with the central plane of the temperature-controlled article 1, i.e., the transverse central plane Q. TIt extends along or near the pivot axis S. The adjustment elements 12 and 13 are pivotally supported so as to be able to reciprocate around this pivot axis S. Thus, the first half 27 of the paddle portion 18 of the adjustment elements 12 and 13 is assigned to the first half 28 of the temperature-controlled article 1. The second half 27' of the paddle portion 18 of the adjustment elements 12 and 13 is assigned to the second half 28' of the temperature-controlled article 1. Both halves 27, 27' or 28, 28' are assigned to the pivot axis S or the transverse center plane Q. T It is arranged symmetrically with respect to it.

[0032] The adjustment elements 12 and 13, which are offset in the direction of the pivot axis S, are controlled in the same way. As a result, within half a period T / 2, the first half 27 of the paddle section 18 moves in the direction +φ by a positive angle φ. MAX It is rotated, and the second half 27′ is in the direction of the negative angle -φ -φ MAX It is rotated in this way. In this case, while the first half 27 of these adjustment elements 12,13 is rotated upward, the second half 27' of these adjustment elements 12,13 is rotated downward. Thus the pressing force F D However, this is applied to opposing sides 15, 15' and opposing halves 28, 28' of the temperature-controlled article 1. This allows a non-uniform flow to be appropriately generated within the temperature-controlled article 1. In this case, for example, the refrigerated core 29 moves back and forth and is surrounded by a non-uniform flow of the already thawed liquid 30.

[0033] As a result, a very high temperature gradient can be generated. The refrigeration core 29 is a part of the temperature-controlled article 1 that exists within the core region of the temperature-controlled article 1. The liquid 30 surrounding the core 29 corresponds to a part of the temperature-controlled article 1 that exists within the outer region of the temperature-controlled article 1. The temperature-controlled article 1 is in a frozen state at the beginning of the temperature adjustment process. In this case, both the outer region and the core region of the temperature-controlled article are in a solid agglomerated state, that is, exhibit a temperature of 0°C or lower. By applying the equipment of the present invention to this temperature-controlled article 1 until the temperature-controlled article 1 exhibits the desired temperature at the end of the temperature adjustment process, the outer region of this temperature-controlled article 1 thaws relatively quickly, and since this temperature-controlled article 1 moves quickly with a high acceleration, this temperature-controlled article 1 is completely thawed.

[0034] As can be seen from FIG. 3, the pivot axes S of the adjustment elements 12, 13 cross this temperature-controlled article 1 in a projection direction perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane L of the temperature-controlled article 1 T thereof.

[0035] Generally, the paddle parts 18 of the adjustment elements 12, 13 have an enclosing surface that is smaller than the enclosing surface of the temperature-controlled article 1.

[0036] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of temperature-controlled articles 1 may be assigned to a plurality of paddle parts.

[0037] As can be seen from FIG. 4, a peripheral rod 19' extending parallel to the pivot axis S has a maximum deflection of + / −S with respect to the initial position or the initial height MAX therebetween, and a plurality of paddle parts 18 are pivoted, for example, periodically, about the pivot axis S. The initial position 31 is within a plane parallel to the longitudinal center plane L of the temperature-controlled article 1 T thereof. The maximum deflection S MAX , -S MAX can be within the range of + / −30 mm, and particularly within the range of + / −25 mm.

[0038] Each of the plurality of peripheral rods 19' is relative to the pivot axis S and of the temperature-controlled article 1 width b T half of 0.2 double ~0.7 double It has a corresponding interval a.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mechanical adjustment elements 12, 13 or the paddle portion 18 are formed flat.

[0040] According to another embodiment of the present invention not shown, the contours of the adjustment elements 12, 13 or the paddle portion 18 may be, for example, arc-shaped and / or spoon-shaped, so as to better fit the shape of the temperature-controlled article 1.

[0041] The rods 19, 19' of the paddle portion 18 define an opening 32 into which the flexibly formed temperature-controlled article 1 and / or heating elements 9, 14 can be partially fitted. Thus, the temperature-controlled article 1 comes into direct contact with the heating elements 9, 14 within the area of ​​the opening. Since the adjustment elements 12, 13 in this embodiment are generally formed as rod elements, the heating elements 9, 14 and the temperature-controlled article 1 are in direct contact.

[0042] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the entire surface of the paddle portion 18 may be formed from a thermally conductive material in a non-flexible or flexible manner. In some cases, the overall flat adjustment element or paddle portion 18 may consist of a plurality of non-flexible segments joined to each other, for example, in a film hinge manner.

[0043] The motor rotates the adjustment elements 12 and 13 at a frequency particularly within the range of 0.5 to 5 Hz. Heat can be optimally transferred to the temperature-controlled article 1 at this frequency.

[0044] Each heating element 9 and 14 has a synthetic resin bag. Within the synthetic resin bag, a temperature-controlled liquid medium is circulated by a pump (not shown). A pump and heating coil for temperature control of the liquid medium are located in the base chamber 4.

[0045] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the heating elements 9 and 14 may each be formed by electrically heated temperature-regulating cushions or gel cushions. This results in a relatively small required structural space.

[0046] The rods 19 and 19' of the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are made of wire.

[0047] According to another embodiment of the present invention not shown, the defrosting device may have only one adjustment element 12, 13 located above or below the temperature-controlled article 1. Unlike the above embodiment, the pressing force F D However, the temperature is not always applied to both sides 15 and 15' of the temperature-controlled article 1, but is alternately applied to only one side 15 and 15', that is, it is applied to the first side 15 during the first half-cycle T / 2 and to the second side 15' during the second half-cycle T / 2.

[0048] In embodiments not shown, the motor may be configured as a stepping motor. The shaft is rotated by a predetermined angle by the stepping motor. In this case, the motor curve due to the motor current I shown in Figure 4 does not change sinusoidally.

[0049] As can be seen from Figures 3 and 4, for example, a periodic pressing force F D However, this is applied to both sides of the temperature-controlled article 1, i.e., on the first side 15 and the second side 15'. Based on this configuration, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are rotated synchronously and / or in the same direction and in the same rotational direction. Therefore, when the first half 27 of the paddle portion 18 rotates upward toward the temperature-controlled article 1 from its initial position in plane A, the pressing force F D11 However, when the lower adjustment element 12 applies pressure, and the second half 27' of the paddle portion 18 rotates downward toward the temperature-controlled article 1, the pressing force F in the opposite direction is applied. D22 However, this is applied by the upper adjustment element 13. The adjustment elements 12 and 13 are at the maximum angle φ with respect to the plane A at the initial position. MAX The maximum fluctuation S of those forms MAXWhen it reaches this point, the movement reverses. As a result, the pressing force F D11 ,F D22 The pressure weakens. After half a cycle T / 2, it reaches the initial position A, and the pressing force F D12 However, the pressing force F acts on the second half 27' of the lower side surface 15 by another half 27' of the lower adjustment element 12. D21 However, the first half 27 of the upper adjustment element 13 acts on the first half 27 of the temperature-controlled article 1. In Figure 4, this operation is shown by the corresponding force arrows. Thus, the paddle portion 18 halves 27, 27' act like a swivel lever with multiple openings. Pressing force F D However, it always acts on the lower side surface 15 and the upper side surface 15' of the temperature-controlled article 1. In this case, the pressing force F D11 and F D22 Or pressing force F D21 and F D12 However, the transverse central plane Q T It acts asymmetrically on the temperature-controlled article 1.

[0050] If only one adjustment element 12,13 is provided, the pressing force F D11 ,F D12 or F D21 ,F D22 However, from only one side, half 27,27′ of the paddle portion 18 alternately acts on both halves 28,28′ of side 15 or 15′ of the temperature-controlled article 1.

[0051] According to another embodiment of the present invention not shown, the two adjustment elements 12 and 13 may be controlled to pivot in opposing directions (counterperiodically) rather than in the same direction. As a result, the pressing force F DHowever, this is generated alternately by half 28 of the lower side surface 15 and half 28 of the upper side surface 15 of the temperature-controlled article 1, and half 28' of the lower side surface 15 and half 28' of the upper side surface 15' of the temperature-controlled article 1. The first half 27 of the first adjustment element 12 is rotated upward, while the first half of the second adjustment element 13 is rotated downward. The second half 27' of the first adjustment element 12 is rotated downward, while the second half 27' of the second adjustment element 13 is rotated upward. The symmetrical or opposite movements of these adjustment elements 12, 13 cause the refrigeration core 29 of the temperature-controlled article 1 and the already thawed components to move more intensively. In this case, preferably, the same effect is achieved compared to an embodiment having only one adjustment element, with a reduced maximum rotation angle φ MAX ,-φ MAX Or maximum swing S MAX ,-S MAX This can be achieved.

[0052] Alternatively, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 may move periodically and / or aperiodicly in the same direction and / or in opposite directions to each other. As a result, the deformable force on the temperature-controlled article 1 or the core 29 of the temperature-controlled article 1 and the liquid 30 of the temperature-controlled article 1 that has already thawed and is surrounding it is further increased.

[0053] In embodiments not shown, instead of periodic movement, at least one adjustment element 12, 13 may move aperiodically or rotate aperiodically.

[0054] In embodiments not shown, at least one of the adjustment elements 12, 13 may move periodically and aperiodically. Alternatively, the adjustment elements 12, 13 may move linearly.

[0055] In embodiments not shown, the heating element is incorporated within the adjustment element. Preferably, the required space can be significantly reduced. The heating element may be configured, for example, as a temperature-regulating cushion or gel cushion whose contents are electrically heated. If the heating element is formed as a plate-shaped heater having a rigid heating surface, the heating element can also be used as an adjustment element.

[0056] According to the embodiment of the adjustment element shown in Figure 6, which is also shown in Figure 1, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 consist of a plurality of wide sections 40 and narrow sections 41 that are offset from each other along the pivot axis S. The wide sections 40 of the adjustment elements 12 and 13 have a pair of peripheral rods 19' that extend at a relatively large interval d2. These peripheral rods 19' extend parallel to the pivot axis S. A plurality of rods 19 that extend almost perpendicular to the pivot axis S are connected to these peripheral rods 19'. These rods 19 that are in contact with these peripheral rods 19' form an O-shaped paddle section 18. The O-shaped paddle section 18 is formed as an open paddle with an opening.

[0057] A narrow section 41 is connected to a wide section 40, having multiple rods 19″ extending in the direction of the pivot axis S and parallel to the pivot axis S. These rods 19″ are arranged at relatively small intervals d1 from one another. These rods 19″ of the narrow section 41 extend in the direction of the pivot axis. These rods 19″ of the narrow section 41 are connected to multiple rods 19 of the wide section 40 that extend perpendicular to the pivot axis, or are connected to actuators at the ends of adjustment elements 12, 13.

[0058] As can be seen in Figure 6, the first wide portion 40' abuts against the sides 15,15' of the temperature-controlled article 1, which is positioned perpendicular to the pivot axis S. The first wide portion 40' is adapted to the temperature-controlled article 1 such that the peripheral rod 19' extends within a range of + / -20%, particularly + / -10%, of the halves 28,28' of the temperature-controlled article 1, or extends near the center of gravity of the halves 28,28', or extends on the center of gravity of the halves 28,28'. In this embodiment, the spacing g1 of the first half 28 is 8 cm, and the spacing g2 of the second half 28' is 7 cm. Therefore, the temperature-controlled article 1 is positioned on the lateral center plane Q of the temperature-controlled article 1. T The spacing d2 of the peripheral rods 19′ is selected so that it can oscillate by applying an appropriate force around the inwardly extending pivot axis S. Therefore, the line of motion guided by the peripheral rods 19′ in the direction of the pivot axis S at half 28,28′ extends within the region of the center of gravity at these half 28,28′.

[0059] The second wide portions 40″ of the adjustment elements 12, 13 act on two temperature-controlled articles 1 that are positioned in contact with each other. All temperature-controlled articles 1 are positioned within a common plane. The first half 44 of this wide portion 40″ is assigned to the second temperature-controlled article 1, and the second half 44″ of this wide portion 40″ is assigned to the second temperature-controlled article 1. These halves 44, 44″ of this wide portion 40″ are positioned symmetrically with respect to the pivot axis S. The multiple peripheral rods 19′ of these halves 44, 44′ each have an equal half spacing d2 / 2 with respect to the pivot axis S. These peripheral rods 19′ extend within the region of the center of gravity of each temperature-controlled article 1, or near or within the region of the axis of symmetry X1 of the temperature-controlled article 1.

[0060] According to another embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 5, instead of continuous oscillations (harmonic and / or linear oscillations) of the adjustment elements 12 and 13, impulsive oscillations are performed. For example, the peripheral rod 19' may oscillate rapidly from 0 cm to 15 cm with respect to time t1. Then, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 remain stationary for a period of Δt2 before they return to their initial position with an absolute acceleration that is rapid but less pronounced than the change movement with respect to time t2. After reaching the initial position at time t3, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 remain stationary until time t4 before the same change movement is performed in the other rotational direction. According to this embodiment, steep, periodic and / or aperiodic oscillations are performed. In this case, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are stationary at the maximum oscillation position during period Δt2 and at the initial position during period Δt1.

[0061] The maximum oscillation and / or frequency 1 / T and / or acceleration of the adjustment elements 12,13 can be selected depending on the actual temperature of the temperature-controlled article 1 related to a preset threshold temperature or a preset constant point in time. The control of the adjustment elements 12,13 does not need to be performed periodically or aperiodicly or with the same impulse sequence or the same oscillation transition over the entire duration of the temperature adjustment process. The height of the change or the frequency and acceleration can be changed depending on the temperature-controlled article 1 to be temperature-controlled. Thus, various movement profiles can be selected for various temperature-controlled articles 1. For example, in the initial stages of the temperature adjustment process, the frequency of the impulsive oscillation may be increased until the refrigeration core 29 of the temperature-controlled article 1 shrinks to its minimum volume. Subsequently, the frequency of the impulse sequence may be decreased. Alternatively, in the first period of the temperature adjustment process, a relatively small maximum oscillation may be selected until the outer region of the temperature-controlled article is thawed and becomes liquid. Then, in the second period of the temperature adjustment process, the maximum oscillation of the adjustment elements 12,13 may be increased. As a result, the degree of agitation within the temperature-controlled article may be increased, and therefore the thawing process may be accelerated. Then, during a further period of the temperature adjustment process, the maximum oscillation and / or frequency and / or acceleration may be reduced again until the temperature-controlled article 1 reaches the desired target temperature.

[0062] To control the adjustment elements 12 and 13, instead of servo motors, DC / AC motors with stepping motors or gear systems, or electrically operated lifting magnets / rotary magnets may also be used as actuators. Alternatively, pneumatically or hydraulically operated cylinders may be used to control the adjustment elements 12 and 13.

[0063] According to another embodiment of the present invention, instead of a temperature-controlled article being frozen, any chemical substance or substance in a liquid or viscous state can also be set to the desired temperature.

[0064] Temperature-controlled items 、When the material comprises a relatively large area or a relatively large volume, the temperature-controlled article is vibrated by linearly moving adjustment elements alone, particularly at multiple positions on multiple opposing sides. Therefore, multiple points of application occur on the temperature-controlled article. These adjustment elements act on these points of application either in a common adjustment direction or parallel to each other with offsets. In this case, in particular, multiple adjustment elements may be cascaded, offset perpendicular to the adjustment direction of these adjustment elements. In this case, these adjustment elements may be controlled or act on the temperature-controlled article with a time delay perpendicular to the adjustment direction.

[0065] Figure 8 shows a temperature control process using a first moving profile. Basically, depending on the operating parameters or process parameters, a pressing force can be partially applied to the temperature-controlled article 1 by the adjustment elements 12 and 13. The duration, magnitude, and / or strength (acceleration) of the action of the adjustment elements 12 and 13 can be changed during the temperature control process.

[0066] Figure 8 shows the temperature-controlled item (plasma) being brought from a frozen state to a preset target temperature T. Soll A transfer profile for thawing to a liquid state is shown. A1 and time t A2 During the preceding time interval between time t, the initial state remains almost completely frozen, and no movement has yet occurred. A2 and time t A3 During the first time interval between T, a portion of the temperature-controlled article has already liquefied, and the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are operated, for example, periodically, with a first frequency, a reduced first amplitude, and a first absolute gradient. As a result, the temperature of the temperature-controlled article 1 reaches near 0°C. Time interval T Z2 However, at point t A3 It starts at time t A3 It will end at the first time interval T. Z1 In contrast, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are moved, for example, periodically with a larger amplitude A2 and the same frequency as a larger second absolute gradient of the deflection (acceleration) relative to the amplitude A2. The control of the adjustment elements 12 and 13 is set at a predetermined constant time tA3 It is changed to, or is changed depending on operating parameters or process parameters, such as changes in the load of adjustment elements 12 and 13. Such changes in load can be recognized by the changed motor current of the actuator. The gradient of the amplitude of adjustment elements 12 and 13 refers to the gradient or acceleration of the displacement transition / swing of adjustment elements 12 and 13 from zero to amplitudes A1 and A2. Second time interval T Z2 As can be seen, the absolute value of the slope of the deflection toward amplitude A2 or -A2 is maximum, while the return movement toward the zero line is performed with a smaller absolute slope or a smaller absolute acceleration.

[0067] According to another embodiment of the transfer profile shown in Figure 9, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are controlled relative to the temperature-controlled article 1, which is cooled but not frozen. The temperature-controlled article 1 may be manufactured as an additive. Therefore, the temperature-controlled article 1 is in a liquid or viscous state at the beginning of the temperature adjustment process. The temperature-controlled article 1 is brought to a target temperature T Soll It must be heated to this point. Therefore, at point t B1 It starts at time t B2 The first time interval T ends at Z1′ Within this, the adjustment element is moved, for example, periodically with respect to a first frequency, a first amplitude, and a first absolute gradient (acceleration) with respect to the maximum deflection A1',-A1'. The temperature-controlled article 1 is at a critical temperature T where it is exhibiting an undesirable foaming tendency. Krit When this is reached, the movement of adjustment elements 12 and 13 is changed. The second time interval T to start Z2′ Then, the adjustment elements 12 and 13 are moved with the same amplitude A1 and -A1', but at a lower frequency and with a lower acceleration, or with a lower absolute gradient relative to the maximum oscillation A1' and -A1'.

[0068] As can be seen from Figure 10, for example, Figure 6Multiple adjustment elements 12, 13 shown may be arranged in pairs within the temperature control chamber 5 at predetermined intervals from one another (see lower left of Figure 10). Alternatively, a single adjustment element 50 may be arranged within the temperature control chamber 5, comprising a rectangular rod 19 with multiple peripheral rods 19' extending symmetrically with respect to the pivot axis S. These peripheral rods 19' extend particularly continuously and linearly along all sides of this adjustment element 50.

[0069] According to an alternative embodiment, the adjustment element may have a circular rod 51 (circular paddle portion) (see bottom center of Figure 10) or an elliptical rod 52 (elliptical paddle portion) (top center of Figure 10) (see Figure 10).

[0070] In another embodiment, an adjustment element 53 having a diamond-shaped paddle portion 54 may be provided (see upper right of Figure 10).

[0071] In another embodiment, an adjustment element 55 may be provided having a plurality of paddle portions 56 arranged asymmetrically with respect to the pivot axis S.

[0072] Therefore, depending on the dimensions of the temperature-controlled article 1, differently formed adjustment elements 12, 13, 50, 51, 53, and 55 may be used.
