Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to showcases.

A showcase that holds two temperature zones that keep the upper display shelves in the product display room cool in the weak cold temperature zone and the lower display shelves in the product display room in the refrigerating temperature zone lower than the weak cold temperature zone. Are known.

This conventional showcase has an intermediate duct that can be mounted on a display shelf. When the intermediate duct is mounted on the display shelf, the intermediate duct opens the cold air partition damper. Then, the cooling air flowing through the air passage on the back of the showcase blows out from the discharge port on the front surface of the intermediate duct to keep the refrigerating temperature zone partitioned below the intermediate duct. The weak cold temperature zone partitioned above the intermediate duct is kept cold by the uncooled air circulating in the showcase.

JP-A-2007-187391

The showcase is equipped with stanchions that support the display shelves. This strut has a plurality of shelf support holes arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. By selecting an appropriate shelf support hole from the plurality of shelf support holes, the vertical position of the display shelf is set. As a result, the spacing between the display shelves arranged vertically can be arbitrarily set according to the height of the products displayed on the display shelves.

And, like the conventional showcase, the showcase that can set multiple temperature bands in the product display room has a plurality of cold air partition dampers arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on the back plate of the product display room. I have.

By the way, the distance between the cold air partition dampers arranged vertically may be wider than the distance between the shelf support holes arranged vertically. In this case, in the vertical direction, the settable position of the display shelf includes a position where the intermediate duct can be inserted into the cold air partition damper and a position where the intermediate duct cannot be inserted into the cold air partition damper. That is, the plurality of shelf support holes are a shelf support hole capable of supporting the display shelf at a position where the intermediate duct can be inserted into the cold air partition damper, and a display shelf at a position where the intermediate duct cannot be inserted into the cold air partition damper. Includes shelf support holes, which can support. Here, for the sake of simplicity, the shelf support hole capable of supporting the display shelf at a position where the intermediate duct can be inserted into the cold air partition damper is called an "area divideable hole", and the intermediate duct is called the cold air partition. A shelf support hole that can support a display shelf at a position where it cannot be inserted into a damper is called an "area undividable hole".

In such a showcase, when trying to set a display shelf to separate the weak cold temperature zone and the refrigerate temperature zone, it is easy to identify whether the shelf support hole is a region-dividable hole or a region-undividable hole. Difficult to do. Then, the person who sets the vertical position of the display shelf may feel annoyed or be forced to carry an excessive work load.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a showcase that can easily identify the area-dividable hole and mount a display shelf, and is excellent in convenience.

In order to solve the above problems, the showcase according to the embodiment of the present invention has a product display room whose front surface is open and an air passage for flowing cooling air from the rear side of the product display room to the upper part of the product display room. A partition plate, a support column having a plurality of shelf support holes arranged at intervals in the vertical direction and attached to the partition plate, and a column having a plurality of shelves support holes arranged at intervals in the vertical direction are separated from each other in the vertical direction. A product that can be mounted by selecting and mounting a main body having a plurality of partition dampers provided on the partition plate and any of the plurality of shelf support holes, and the position of the product display chamber in the vertical direction can be changed. A display shelf and an intermediate duct that is detachably attached to the product display shelf and that guides the cooling air flowing through the air passage to the front of the product display room when the partition damper is opened and connected to the air passage.

And an upper duct D6 provided between the top plate 15 and the upper heat insulating wall 12b. The bottom plate 17 functions as a partition plate that forms a lower duct D4 as an air passage for flowing uncooled air from below the display chamber 2 to the rear of the display chamber 2. The back plate 16 functions as a partition plate that forms a back duct D5 as an air passage for flowing uncooled air from the rear of the display chamber 2 to the upper side of the display chamber 2. The top plate 15 functions as a partition plate that forms an upper duct D6 as an air passage for flowing uncooled air from above the display chamber 2 to the front of the display chamber 2. The side surfaces of each of the ducts D4, D5, and D6 are also closed by the side plate 11 or the display room partition plate 23.

Each display shelf 6 has a shelf board 41 on which products are placed, a back plate 42 that stands up in connection with the back side of the shelf board 41, and a pair of brackets 43 that support the shelf board 41 and the shelf board 41 on a support column 18 of the main body 5. And have. The pair of brackets 43 are provided on the left and right side portions of the respective display shelves 6. The pair of brackets 43 support the display shelf 6 on the support column 18 via the shelf support hole 19. Each bracket 43 has at least one hook 45. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, one bracket 43 includes three hooks 45. As the number of hooks 45 increases, the load borne by each hook 45 decreases, and the strength of the entire display shelf 6 increases. The display shelves 6 lined up must be spaced apart. The surface facing directly below the shelf board 41 is the inner surface of the bracket 43, and the surface opposite to this surface is the outer surface of the bracket 43.

The display shelf 6 can be attached to the support column 18 by selecting one of the plurality of shelf support holes 19 and hooking the hook 45, and the position in the display chamber 2 in the vertical direction can be changed. In other words, the display shelf 6 can change its vertical position in the display room 2 by changing the shelf support hole 19 of the support column 18 on which the hook 45 is hooked.

Further, the main body 5 of the showcase 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of partition dampers 51 provided on the back plate 16 at intervals in the vertical direction.

The back plate 16 has a plurality of cold air outflow windows 52 leading to the back duct D2. Each partition damper 51 closes each cold air outflow window 52 so as to be openable and closable.

Each partition damper 51 is supported so as to be openable and closable by a hinge or a stepped screw (not shown) spanning the upper side of the cold air outflow window 52 and the upper side of the partition damper 51. Each partition damper 51 is flipped up toward the rear of the back plate 16 to open the cold air outflow window 52, and is pressed against the back plate 16 toward the front of the back plate 16 to close the cold air outflow window 52. Further, each partition damper 51 is pressed against the back plate 16 by an elastic member (not shown), for example, a spring force generated by a torsion spring, and closes the cold air outflow window 52.

The plurality of partition dampers 51 are provided on the back plate 16 at intervals different from those of the plurality of shelf support holes 19. The plurality of partition dampers 51 may be arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction, or may be arranged at irregular intervals. The distance between the vertically arranged partition dampers 51 is wider than the distance between the vertically arranged shelf support holes 19.

Then, the showcase 1 is detachably attached to the display shelf 6, and when the partition damper 51 is opened and connected to the back duct D2 of the refrigerating air passage 31, the cooling air flowing through the back duct D2 is sent to the front of the display room 2. It is provided with an intermediate duct 55 for guiding.

Here, for the sake of simplicity, the vertical position of the display shelf 6 into which the intermediate duct 55 can be inserted into the partition damper 51 is referred to as a "region-dividable position", and the intermediate duct 55 is separated from the partition damper 51. The position in the vertical direction of the display shelf 6 that cannot be loaded is referred to as an "area undividable position". The shelf support hole 19 capable of supporting the display shelf 6 at the area-dividable position is called the "area-dividable hole 19P", and the shelf support hole 19 capable of supporting the display shelf 6 at the area-undividable position is called the "area". It is called "indivisible hole 19N".

When a plurality of hooks 45 are provided on the left and right brackets 43 of the display shelf 6, a plurality of region-dividable holes 19P correspond to one region-dividable position. That is, when a plurality of hooks 45 are provided on the left and right brackets 43 of the display shelf 6, there is a one-to-many relationship between the area-dividable position and the area-dividable hole 19P. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, the shelf support hole 19 corresponding to the hook 45 at the top of the bracket 43 is referred to as a "region-dividing hole 19P".

The intermediate duct 55 is a rectangular duct that follows the bottom surface of the display shelf 6. The intermediate duct 55 enters the back duct D2 through the discharge port 56 facing the front of the display chamber 2 while being mounted on the display shelf 6 and the cold air outflow window 52 of the back plate 16 while being mounted on the display shelf 6. The air passage shutoff valve body portion 57 and a suction port 58 connected to the upstream side of the air passage shutoff valve body portion 57 of the back duct D2 in a state of being mounted on the display shelf 6 are provided.

The intermediate duct 55 may be provided with a stopper (not shown) that is in contact with the back plate 16 of the display chamber 2 and prevents the air passage blocking valve body portion 57 from entering the back duct D2 too much. The stopper may be provided with a magnet that generates an attractive force between the back plate 16 and the intermediate duct 55. The magnet prevents the intermediate duct 55 from easily coming out of the display shelf 6.

The air passage blocking valve body portion 57 is provided with a sealing material (not shown) sandwiched between the inner surface of the back duct D2 and the air passage blocking valve body portion 57.

The display shelf 6 includes a pair of rails 59 having a U-shaped cross section that hold the intermediate duct 55 so that it can be inserted and removed. The pair of rails 59 are provided between the pair of left and right brackets 43 so that the open portions of the cross section face each other. The pair of rails 59 hold an intermediate duct 55 between the pair of open portions. In other words, the intermediate duct 55 is sandwiched between the inner surfaces of the pair of left and right brackets 43 of the display shelf 6.

Then, when the display shelf 6 is attached to the area-dividable hole 19P and the intermediate duct 55 is attached to the display shelf 6, the air passage blocking valve body portion 57 of the intermediate duct 55 is connected to the refrigerating air passage 31 via the partition damper 51. It is inserted into the back duct D2.

When the air passage shutoff valve body portion 57 is inserted into the back duct D2, the intermediate duct 55 pushes the partition damper 51 open against the force of the elastic member pressing the partition damper 51 against the back plate 16. The magnet provided on the stopper attracts and fixes the back plate 16 and the intermediate duct 55 by magnetic force. Further, the sealing material closes the gap between the air passage blocking valve body portion 57 and the back duct D2. Therefore, the cooling air flowing in the back duct D2 flows from the suction port 58 into the intermediate duct 55 without leakage. The discharge port 56 is arranged below the leading edge of the display shelf 6.

Then, the cooling air that has flowed into the intermediate duct 55 blows out from the discharge port 56 toward the front of the display chamber 2, and forms an air curtain of the cooling air that quickly flows down the intermediate duct 55. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the space below the intermediate duct 55 cooled by the air curtain is the refrigerating temperature zone RZ. The refrigerated temperature zone RZ is maintained, for example, at 4 degrees Celsius. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the flow of cooling air when the intermediate duct 55 is mounted on the display shelf 6 is indicated by a broken line arrow. The flow of cooling air indicated by the broken line arrow cools the refrigerating temperature zone RZ.

In the back duct D2 into which the air passage blocking valve body portion 57 of the intermediate duct 55 is inserted, the flow of cooling air above the air passage blocking valve body portion 57 is blocked. Then, the uncooled air flowing through the weak cold / hot air passage 32 forms an air curtain of the uncooled air flowing down from the outlet 37 toward the lower side of the display chamber 2. The space above the intermediate duct 55 cooled by the air curtain is the weak cooling temperature zone LZ. The weak cold temperature zone LZ is maintained, for example, at 20 degrees Celsius.

The showcase 1 has a storage box (not shown) that is provided on the base 13 and can accommodate the intermediate duct 55, and has a depth that is one size larger than the display shelf 6 and interferes with the back plate 16 and the intermediate duct 55. It may be provided with a large display shelf that can be accommodated without causing it.

Further, since the intermediate duct 55 partitions the upper and lower parts of the display chamber 2 into different temperature zones, it is preferable that a heat insulating material is provided on the upper surface of the intermediate duct 55.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a mounted state of the main body of the showcase and the display shelf according to the embodiment of the present invention.

By the way, when the display shelf 6 is mounted on the shelf support hole 19 in order to separate the weak cold temperature zone LZ and the refrigerating temperature zone RZ, is the shelf support hole 19 a region-dividable hole 19P corresponding to the region-dividable position? , It is necessary to identify whether it is the region undividable hole 19N corresponding to the region undividable position. If the display shelf 6 is mistakenly attached to the area indivisible hole 19N and the intermediate duct 55 is attached to the display shelf 6, the intermediate duct 55 cannot be inserted into the back duct D2 of the refrigerating air passage 31, and these actions are futile. It ends in. Then, a person who tries to separate the weak cold temperature zone LZ from the refrigerating temperature zone RZ may feel annoyed or be forced to carry an excessive work load.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the showcase 1 according to the present embodiment includes an identifier 61 that identifies the area-dividable hole 19P from the plurality of shelf support holes 19.

For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the plurality of partition dampers 51 are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction. It is assumed that the plurality of shelf support holes 19 are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction and are an integral multiple, for example, four times that of the plurality of partition dampers 51. In other words, it is assumed that one partition damper 51 is arranged for each of the four shelf support holes 19 arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction. On the support column 18, three continuous region-dividable holes 19N and one region-dividable hole 19P are alternately arranged in the vertical direction.
Further, the same number of identifiers 61 are provided as the number of the region-dividable holes 19P, in other words, the same number as the number of the partition dampers 51. Only the identifier 61 corresponding to 19P is shown. Hereinafter, the same applies to FIGS. 6 to 8.

The identifier 61 is a mark that can identify the vertical position in the display room 2 in which the display shelf 6 is mounted so that the intermediate duct 55 mounted on the display shelf 6 opens the partition damper 51 and is connected to the cold air passage 7. It is a so-called matching mark (matching mark, Matching mark, Setting mark). In other words, the identifier 61 is a shelf support hole 19 in which the display shelf 6 is mounted so that the intermediate duct 55 mounted in the display shelf 6 opens the partition damper 51 and is connected to the cold air passage 7, that is, a region-dividable hole 19P. Is a mark that can be identified from the plurality of shelf support holes 19. The identifier 61 makes it possible to identify that the shelf support hole 19 is a region-dividable hole 19P when the hook 45 of the display shelf 6 is attached to the shelf support hole 19 of the main body 5.

The identifier 61 includes a first identifier half portion 62 provided on the main body 5 and a second identifier half portion 63 provided on the display shelf 6.

When the display shelf 6 is attached to the shelf support hole 19 so that the intermediate duct 55 attached to the display shelf 6 opens the partition damper 51 and is connected to the cold air passage 7, the identifier 61 becomes the first identifier half portion 62. The second identifier half portion 63 has a distinctiveness facing each other symmetrically. As shown in FIG. 5, the identifier 61 has distinctiveness in which the triangle as the first identifier half portion 62 and the triangle as the second identifier half portion 63 face each other at the vertices. The identifier 61 may have an arrow as the first identifier half portion 62 and an arrow as the second identifier half portion 63 facing each other, or the arrow as the first identifier half portion 62 and the second identifier 61. The triangle as the second identifier half 63 may face the arrow and the apex facing each other.

The second identifier half portion 63 is provided on the bracket 43 of the display shelf 6. The second identifier half portion 63 is provided on the outer surface of the bracket 43. The second identifier half portion 63 may be provided at the lower end portion 43b of the bracket 43, may be provided at the upper end portion 43t of the bracket 43, or may be provided at the lower end portion 43b of the bracket 43 and the upper end portion of the bracket 43. It may be provided in both 43 tons.

Further, the second identifier half portion 63 may be provided on the back plate 42 of the display shelf 6.

The first identifier half portion 62 is provided on the support column 18 of the main body 5.

The identifier 61 shown in FIG. 5 exhibits excellent visibility when the display shelf 6 is mounted on the support column 18 while observing from either the upper side or the left or right side.

The second identifier half portion 63 is similarly provided at the left and right brackets 43 of the display shelf 6 or the left and right ends of the back plate 42, and the first identifier half portion 62 is a pair of second identifier half portions 63. It is preferable that there is a pair corresponding to.
