  The lower part in the product storage 1 is partitioned into a cooling chamber 18 by a bottom plate 16 made of a saw, etc., and the internal fan 9 is placed here, and a drain drain groove 17 is formed at the bottom of the partition, From here, drain water is led to the evaporator 7.

  The evaporating dish 4 below the evaporating apparatus 7 is disposed on the back of a condenser cooling fan 6 provided behind the condenser constituting a part of the refrigeration cycle, and the condenser cooling fan 6 is placed on the evaporating dish 4. It is also used to promote the evaporation of drain water.

  In the figure, reference numeral 5 denotes a water level detection sensor for detecting whether the drain water is full. A hanging type or ultrasonic sensor is used, and the water level of the evaporating dish 4 is measured by measuring the distance between the water level detection sensor and the water surface. .

  When the internal fan 9 is rotating, there is a cross wind in the cooling chamber 18, which covers the drain drain groove 17, so that the drain water is not easily drained from the drain drain groove 17, and the amount of drain water is large. If the drainage groove 17 cannot be discharged sufficiently, there is a risk that corrosion of the bottom plate of the cooling chamber 18 will occur due to drainage drainage accumulation.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a showcase that can eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, improve the retention of drainage, and suppress the occurrence of corrosion on the bottom plate of the cooling chamber.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention as set forth in claim 1 is a product storage having an opening for putting in and out a product in a showcase body formed of a heat insulating wall and having a display shelf for the product, and a store on the outside thereof. Partitioned with a cold air circulation duct by an internal fan with an inner wall surface plate, a cooler is disposed in the cold air circulation duct, the lower end of the cold air circulation duct is formed as an air inlet, and the upper end is formed as a cold air outlet. In the freezer / refrigeration showcase that cools the inside of the product storage box, the cooler periodically melts the frost adhering to it while forming a cold air curtain at the opening with the cold air blown out from the air outlet. While providing a defrost process, it makes it a summary to stop the said internal fan for a fixed time after the said defrost process from which much drain water is discharged | emitted.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, after the defrosting in which a large amount of drain water is discharged, the internal fan is stopped for a certain period of time, thereby eliminating the cross wind and sufficiently draining the drain in the drain drain groove. .

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the drained drained water is stored in the evaporating dish, the water level of the evaporating dish is detected by a water level detection sensor, and the internal fan is rotated when the water level exceeds a certain level. This is the gist.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the drained drained water is stored in the evaporating dish 4 and the water level of the evaporating dish 4 is detected by the water level detection sensor. By rotating the fan, it is difficult to discharge drain water, and it is possible to suppress the rise in the water level of the drain pan and prevent overflow.

  As described above, the showcase of the present invention can improve the retention of drainage and suppress the corrosion of the cooling chamber bottom plate due to drain leakage.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an operation method showing one embodiment of a showcase of the present invention.

  The freezing and refrigeration showcase to which the method of the present invention is applied is as described above with reference to FIG. 2, and there is an opening for putting in and out the product, for example, on the front surface or the upper surface in the showcase body 11 formed of a heat insulating wall. Then, a product storage 1 having a product display shelf and a cool air circulation duct 13 formed by a fan 9 inside the compartment are partitioned by an inner wall surface plate 12, and a cooler 10 is disposed in the cool air circulation duct 13. The lower end of the cold air circulation duct 13 is formed at the air inlet 15 and the upper end is formed at the cold air outlet 14, and the cold air curtain is formed in the opening by the cold air blown from the outlet 14 to close the opening for putting in and out the product. At the same time, the inside 1 of the product storage is cooled.

  In the machine room 3 formed in the lower part of the showcase body, a refrigeration apparatus including the condenser 2 and the compressor 8 is disposed.

  The internal fan 9 is placed in a cooling chamber 18 defined by a bottom plate 16 of the product storage 1, and a drain drain groove 17 is formed at the bottom of the compartment, from which drain water is led to the evaporator 7. It is burned.

  The evaporating dish 4 is placed on the evaporating apparatus 7, and a condenser cooling fan 6 provided behind the condenser constituting a part of the refrigeration cycle is disposed on the back side of the evaporating dish 4, and this condenser cooling is provided. The fan 6 is also used for promoting the evaporation of drain water on the evaporating dish 4.

  Moreover, the water level detection sensor 5 is provided, and the water level of the evaporating dish 4 is measured by this to detect whether the drain water is full.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the cooler 10 is provided with a defrosting step for periodically melting the attached frost. This defrosting process stops the cooling operation, and stops the operation of the condenser 2 and the compressor 8 in the machine room 3. The operation of the internal fan 9 is continued.

  Thus, the cooler 10 dissolves the attached frost and is largely discharged as drain water, and the drain water is guided to the evaporator 7 through the drain drain groove 17 and collected in the lower evaporating dish 4.

  After this defrosting process, the water level of the evaporating dish 4 is measured by the water level detection sensor 5, and if it is detected that the drain water is not above a certain level, the internal fan 9 is stopped for a certain time.

  Thus, after the defrosting process in which a large amount of drain water is discharged, the internal fan 9 is stopped for a certain period of time, thereby eliminating the cross wind in the cooling chamber 18 and sufficiently draining the drain in the drain drain groove 17. it can.

  The water level of the evaporating dish 4 is measured by the water level detection sensor 5, and the internal fan 9 is rotated when the drain water exceeds a certain amount.

  When the water level of the evaporating dish 4 exceeds a certain amount of water, the internal fan 9 is rotated to make it difficult to discharge drain water, thereby suppressing the rise of the water level of the evaporating dish 4 and preventing overflow. .

It is a flowchart of the driving | operation method which shows one Embodiment of the showcase of this invention. It is a vertical side view of a freezer-refrigerated showcase.
