Description

The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a disinfecting storage provided with the refrigerator, and more specifically, to a refrigerator that can improve cooling efficiency and reduce an arrangement space and manufacturing cost, and that does not take in outside air. The present invention relates to a disinfecting storage cabinet capable of rapidly cooling stored items in the cabinet to ambient temperature in a closed state.

In kitchen facilities such as hospitals, schools, and restaurants, tableware and chopsticks that have been washed with water and metal fixtures such as knives and forks (hereinafter referred to as stored items) that have water droplets are stored in the refrigerator and disinfected. A disinfecting storage that is dried at is preferably used. That is, the disinfection storage is equipped with a heating source typified by an electric heater and a blower fan for forcibly circulating the air heated by the heating source in the storage, so that the stored items with water drops are heated to high temperature with hot air. It is heated to sterilize and disinfect and dry.

FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a front surface of a general disinfecting storage, and the disinfecting storage 10 includes a heat-insulating box body 12 having a heat insulating structure in which glass wool is filled between the exterior and interior. It has a double structure in which a required storage space 14 is held and a storage portion 16 is disposed inside. A suction port 18a is formed in a central portion of a top plate 18 of the storage section 16. In addition, a plurality of shelves 20 are vertically arranged at predetermined intervals in a multi-tiered manner inside the storage section 16, and a basket 22 accommodating stored items (not shown) such as dishes is placed on each shelf 20. To be done.

The interior space 14 is defined as an upper space 14a defined above the top plate of the storage unit 16 and an upper space 14a defined outside the side plates 24, 24 facing each other in the width direction of the storage unit 16. It is composed of side spaces 14b, 14b which communicate with each other, and a bottom space 14c which is defined in the heat insulating box 12 and faces below the storage section 16. The bottom space 14c communicates with each other through air outlets 26, 26 formed at the lower ends of the both side spaces 14b, 14b. Further, the storage portion 16 communicates with the upper space 14a through the suction port 18a, communicates with the bottom space 14c, and further through a plurality of through holes (not shown) formed in the side plates 24, 24. It communicates with the spaces 14b, 14b.

A blower fan 28 is arranged in the upper space 14a, and an electric heater 30 as a heating source is arranged in the upper space 14a close to the blower fan 28. The blower fan 28 sucks air into the upper space 14a from the suction port 18a of the storage section 16 and brings the air into contact with the electric heater 30. Therefore, when the blower fan 28 is operated, the air sucked from the storage portion 16 side is heated by the electric heater 30 to become hot air, and then flows into the both side spaces 14b, 14b. Then, the hot air is blown into the inside of the storage portion 16 from the through holes of the side plate 24 and the outlets 26, 26 to heat the stored items stored therein. As shown in FIG. 4, in the disinfecting storage 10, an opening 38 is opened in the top plate 36 of the housing, and an exhaust duct 32 for introducing outside air through the storage 16 is provided in the opening 38. There is. A damper 34 is openably and closably arranged in the exhaust duct 32, and is closed or opened by the damper 34. That is, when the damper 34 is closed and the exhaust duct 32 is closed, the tableware is heated and the tableware is sterilized without the moisture in the storage section 16 being discharged to the outside. Further, when the damper 34 of the exhaust duct 32 is opened, the moisture in the storage portion 16 is discharged to the outside through the internal space 14 and the opening portion 38, and the stored material is heated to dry the stored material. ..

As described above, the disinfection storage is extremely hygienic because it is dried and disinfected in the process of drying the stored material. By the way, in kitchen facilities and the like, there is a demand for removing stored items immediately after drying and disinfecting and using them for the next serving. However, since the stored items immediately after drying are in a high temperature state, they are not suitable for serving such as serving cold dishes. In addition, workers must take great care to prevent burns when transporting hot items. Therefore, after drying, transfer the stored items from the disinfecting storage to the refrigerator for cooling, or transfer the stored items to a cart with a cart, and then carry the entire cart into a refrigerated prefab to cool it. It is carried out.

However, transferring the stored items from the disinfecting storage to the refrigerator or carrying the stored items together with the cart into the refrigerated prefabricated storage box as described above has a drawback that complicated transfer work and extra capital investment are required. is there. For this reason, a disinfecting storage cabinet has been put into practical use in which a cooling function is additionally provided in addition to the heating and drying function, and the storage article is heated and dried in the same cabinet, and then the stored article is cooled to a temperature necessary for serving. For example, the disinfecting storage cabinets with a cooling function disclosed in JP-A-2017-113239 and JP-A-2003-310527 are examples thereof, and both of them are provided with external air to perform primary cooling and then a refrigerator. The secondary cooling is performed by. The reason for performing the primary cooling in this manner is to prevent the capacity of the refrigerator from becoming large (excessive load) and to suppress an increase in equipment cost.

JP, 2017-113239, A

As described above, the disinfecting storage cabinet 10 with a cooling function introduces external air into the cabinet for primary cooling. However, since the cooling medium is air, it takes a long time to cool the stored article. In addition, since the external air taken into the storage contains airborne bacteria (miscellaneous bacteria), dust and other contaminants, it will recontaminate the sterilized stored items. For this reason, a fine mesh filter is arranged in the opening 38 of the disinfecting storage 10, but there is a risk that pressure loss will occur and the amount of external air taken in will decrease, reducing the effect of primary cooling. It is also pointed out that it is necessary to periodically replace the filter and to provide the damper 34 in the opening 38, which causes a problem that manufacturing cost and maintenance cost increase.

Further, the refrigeration system in the conventional refrigerator is composed of a compressor, a condenser, a refrigerant expansion means, and an evaporator, but other compressors are not used, and the positional relationship between the condenser and the evaporator is fixed. There is a loop-type thermosiphon refrigerator that circulates a refrigerant by utilizing the height difference and the temperature difference in the condenser. Then, it has been proposed that these two different refrigerators be installed side by side in an article storage, and one of the refrigerators is used properly according to the required frozen state. However, when these two refrigerators are used in combination, a condenser and an evaporator are required for each, so that the arrangement space becomes large and the manufacturing cost increases.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the intended purpose, the invention according to claim 1
An evaporator arranged inside a storage for the articles, a condenser arranged outside the storage and arranged above the evaporator, and the evaporator and the condenser are connected in a loop shape. Together with a first cooling system including a refrigerant circulation path that circulates a refrigerant sealed inside between the evaporator and the condenser due to a temperature difference,
The gist of the present invention is that, apart from the first cooling system, the evaporator and the condenser are shared, and a second cooling system in which a refrigerant circulates through the evaporator and the condenser by a compressor is provided.
According to the invention of claim 1, the time required for cooling can be shortened by combining the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system and the second cooling system having the compressor (refrigerator alone Cooling is faster by using a thermosiphon for high-load cooling, which is not possible with. Moreover, since the condenser and the evaporator used for the first cooling system of the thermosiphon system and the second cooling system including the refrigerator are shared, the material cost can be suppressed and the arrangement space can be saved.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the intended purpose, the invention of claim 2 is
In a disinfecting storage that includes a heating source and a blower fan, circulates hot air in the storage to disinfect and store stored items,
An evaporator disposed inside the disinfecting storage, a condenser disposed outside the disinfecting storage and disposed above the evaporator, and the evaporator and the condenser connected in a loop. And a first cooling system including a refrigerant circulation path that circulates the refrigerant sealed inside between the evaporator and the condenser due to a temperature difference,
The gist of the present invention is that, apart from the first cooling system, the evaporator and the condenser are shared, and a second cooling system in which a refrigerant circulates through the evaporator and the condenser by a compressor is provided.
According to the invention of claim 2, the time required for cooling can be shortened by combining the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system and the second cooling system having the compressor (refrigerator alone Cooling is faster by using a thermosiphon for high-load cooling, which is not possible with. Moreover, since the condenser and the evaporator used for the first cooling system of the thermosiphon system and the second cooling system including the refrigerator are shared, the material cost can be suppressed and the arrangement space can be saved.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the intended purpose, the invention according to claim 3 is
In a disinfecting storage that includes a heating source and a blower fan, circulates hot air in the storage to disinfect and store stored items,
An evaporator disposed inside the disinfecting storage, a condenser disposed outside the disinfecting storage and disposed above the evaporator, and the evaporator and the condenser connected in a loop. In addition, a cooling system including a refrigerant circulation path that circulates the refrigerant sealed inside between the evaporator and the condenser due to a temperature difference is provided, and the inside of the refrigerator is cooled by this cooling system. Is the gist.
According to the invention of claim 3, when the operation is switched to the cooling operation, it is not necessary to take in the outside air into the refrigerator for the primary cooling, so that the stored items such as tableware are re-contaminated by various bacteria and fine dust in the air. There is an advantage that the stored material can be stored hygienically in a disinfected state without being damaged. Also, in the loop type thermosiphon method, the higher the temperature inside the chamber after disinfection/drying, the higher the speed of the refrigerant circulating between the evaporator and the condenser (heat transfer efficiency is good), so the outside air is taken in. Therefore, the cooling time can be shortened as compared with the conventional method of primary cooling.

In the invention according to claim 4, a drain pan is arranged below the evaporator, and a drain pipe is connected to the drain pan so that condensed water condensed and dropped in the evaporator is drained through the drain pan and the drain pipe. The main point is to discharge it outside the refrigerator.
According to the invention of claim 4, when the loop type thermosiphon system is adopted, the water vapor condenses in the evaporator to form dew drops, but the dropped water drops are discharged to the outside of the refrigerator via the drain pan. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need for an exhaust duct or a damper for discharging water vapor. Further, since the steam does not escape to the outside of the storage, there is no dew condensation on the ceiling or the like of the place where the disinfection storage is installed, and the installation location is not restricted. Further, since the water vapor does not escape to the outside of the refrigerator, the ambient temperature and humidity are not raised, and the installation environment can be kept good.

When switching to cooling operation, it is not necessary to take in outside air into the refrigerator for primary cooling, so stored items such as tableware are not re-contaminated by bacteria in the air and fine dust, and stored items are disinfected. It can be stored sanitarily as it is. In addition, the loop-type thermosiphon method is a conventional method that takes in the outside air and performs primary cooling because the speed of the refrigerant circulating between the evaporator and the condenser increases as the temperature inside the chamber after disinfection/drying increases. The cooling time can be shortened as compared with. Further, in the refrigerator provided with the first cooling system and the second cooling system, since the condenser and the evaporator can be shared by the two cooling systems, the arrangement space becomes small and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

It is a schematic perspective view which shows the state which is holding the disc blade using the shelf support shown in FIG.

Next, preferred embodiments of the refrigerator and the disinfecting storage according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Although the disinfecting storage of the embodiment is the above-described disinfecting storage having a cooling function, the stored items can be efficiently cooled without introducing external air into the storage. That is, the disinfecting storage of the present invention is equipped with a loop type thermosiphon refrigerator that does not require primary cooling with external air. Moreover, the refrigerator provided with the 1st cooling system and the 2nd cooling system is demonstrated about the structure of the said disinfection storage.

FIG. 1 schematically shows an upper structure of a disinfecting storage cabinet 10 according to an embodiment, and a loop-type thermosiphon, which will be described later, is provided on a lower surface of a housing top plate 36 above the inside of the disinfecting storage cabinet 10. An evaporator EVA which is a part of a cooling system (also referred to as a first cooling system) of the system is provided. A condenser CD, which is also a part of the first cooling system, is arranged outside the disinfection storage 10 and above the housing top plate 36. The evaporator EVA and the condenser CD are connected in a loop form by a refrigerant circulation path 40, and the refrigerant enclosed in the refrigerant circulation path 40 is connected to the evaporator EVA and the condenser CD by a difference in height and a difference in temperature. It is designed to circulate between and. An on-off valve V1 (also referred to as a first on-off valve) is provided in a refrigerant circulation path 40 that connects the refrigerant outlet side of the condenser CD and the refrigerant inlet side of the evaporator EVA to evaporate from the condenser CD. It is possible to control the cutoff/communication of the refrigerant to the container EVA.

The refrigerator (first cooling system) in which the evaporator EVA and the condenser CD are connected by the refrigerant circulation path 40 is generally called a loop thermosiphon system. In this loop type thermosiphon system, the refrigerant enclosed in the refrigerant circulation path 40 is circulated at a height difference and a temperature difference between the condenser CD and the evaporator EVA to cool the inside of the refrigerator by the evaporator EVA. , It is a static closed loop that does not require a compressor for forced circulation of the refrigerant. That is, when the heating operation of the disinfecting storage 10 is performed, hot air is circulated in the storage by the electric heater 30 which is a heating source and the blower fan 28. For this reason, the inside of the refrigerator immediately after the heating operation is preheated to a sufficiently high temperature (for example, 80° C.), and the evaporator EVA above the inside of the refrigerator exposed to the high temperature environment also has a considerably high temperature. Therefore, when the opening/closing valve V1 is opened by switching from the heating operation to the cooling operation, the refrigerant enclosed in the refrigerant circulation path 40 flows from the condenser CD into the evaporator EVA due to the height difference. At this time, since the temperature of the evaporator EVA is high, the refrigerant passing through the evaporator EVA is vaporized with high efficiency, and the cooling function of the evaporator EVA is exerted to cool the stored items. The vaporized refrigerant that has left the evaporator EVA and becomes lighter rises in the refrigerant circulation path 40 and returns to the condenser CD, where the condensed and liquefied refrigerant returns to the evaporator EVA again. This refrigerant circulation cycle is a so-called loop type thermosiphon, and the higher the temperature inside the refrigerator, the higher the temperature difference from the temperature outside the refrigerator, and the higher the heat transport capacity, and the faster the inside can be cooled. As described above, since the disinfecting storage cabinet 10 of the embodiment adopts the loop type thermosiphon system as the cooling system (first cooling system), it is not necessary to take in outside air into the cabinet for primary cooling. Therefore, since the inside of the refrigerator can be cooled while being sealed, suspended microorganisms and dust in the air do not enter, and the stored items can be stored hygienically.

(Modification)
As a modified example thereof, the drain pan shown by reference numeral 42 and the drainage pipe shown by reference numeral 44 are arranged in the disinfecting storage box 10 of FIG. That is, in the disinfecting storage, the stored material that has been washed with water and wet is dried, so that water droplets evaporate and a large amount of water vapor is generated during the heating operation. Since this high-temperature steam has a good heat transfer property, the stored material is also sterilized by high-temperature sterilization. Since the steam that has been disinfected is unnecessary, the damper 34 provided on the upper surface of the disinfecting storage 10 shown in FIG. Discharge. That is, when the water attached to the stored material is vaporized to become water vapor, the pressure (internal pressure) in the refrigerator rises due to volume expansion, so that the steam is naturally discharged from the opening 38 together with the air in the refrigerator. However, even though the damper 34 is present, the opening 38 communicates with the outside, and therefore it is desirable not to provide the opening 38 in order to keep the inside of the chamber after disinfection hygienic.

The modification shown in FIG. 1 proposes an alternative means for discharging water vapor to the outside without providing the opening 38 and the damper 34. That is, when the disinfection storage box 10 enters the cooling operation, the on-off valve V1 is opened, and the refrigerant from the condenser CD is caused to flow into the evaporator EVA by its own weight to cool the inside of the box. Since the surface of the evaporator EVA is considerably lower than the temperature inside the refrigerator, the water vapor condenses on the surface of the evaporator EVA to cause dew condensation, and drops one after another due to its own weight. Therefore, a drain pan 42 as a tray is arranged below the evaporator EVA, and a drain pipe 44 is connected to the bottom surface of the drain pan 42 for communication.

As a result, water droplets that condense on the evaporator EVA and drip are collected in the drain pan 42, and the water collected in the drain pan 42 is discharged to the outside via the drain pipe 44. The drain pan 42 communicates with the outside through a drain pipe 44. However, since the opening area of the drain pipe 44 is small and the internal pressure of the inside of the storage chamber is increased by the steam, there is almost no possibility that outside air will enter. Absent. According to this structure, there is no recontamination of stored items due to invasion of outside air, and since the exhaust port and the exhaust damper are not required, there is an advantage that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

(About another example)
The refrigerator adopting the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system described with reference to FIG. 1 has advantages that it is small in size, has a high heat transport capacity, and does not require a compressor. In addition, the larger the temperature difference between the ambient temperature of the evaporator EVA and the ambient temperature of the condenser CD is, the more the heat transfer capacity is improved. Demonstrate great power. However, when it is desired to cool the inside of the refrigerator from the high temperature region to the low temperature region without taking a long time (rapid cooling), the loop type thermosiphon cooling system may not be sufficient.

In such a case, it is more efficient to first cool the inside of the refrigerator by the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system and then perform the second cooling by the second cooling system using the compressor. However, it is extremely uneconomical to separately provide an independent condenser CD and an evaporator EVA in each of the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system and the second cooling system using the compressor. In addition, if two independent cooling systems are provided side by side, the arrangement space inevitably becomes large, and it is necessary to select a place where the disinfection storage cabinet 10 is installed.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the loop type thermosiphon type first cooling system and the second cooling system using the compressor are used together in the disinfecting storage 10, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the condenser CD, The evaporator EVA and a part of the pipeline for circulating the refrigerant are shared by the two cooling systems, and one of the cooling systems can be selected by switching the valve element. That is, when the inside of the refrigerator is in a high temperature range, primary cooling is performed by the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system, and when the temperature of the inside is lowered to a certain degree, secondary cooling is performed by the second cooling system using the compressor. Overall, rapid cooling can be achieved. For example, from 80° C. to 50° C., the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system is used, and from 50° C. to 10° C., the second cooling system having the compressor is used. Different functions are used.

Next, a specific example of switching between the first cooling system and the second cooling system will be described. FIG. 2 shows a case where two cooling systems are integrated into one cooling circuit and the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system is operated while the second cooling system using the compressor is stopped. ing. That is, in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in addition to the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system described above, a second cooling system using the compressor CM is provided in one cooling circuit. The first cooling system and the second cooling system share both the condenser CD and the evaporator EVA. Here, the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system is as described with reference to FIG. 1, but the second cooling system is provided with the compressor CM above the housing top plate 36.

For example, the refrigerant outlet of the condenser CD is connected to the refrigerant circulation passage 40 of the first cooling system, and separately connected to the refrigerant circulation passage 46 of the second cooling system. The refrigerant circulation path 46 on the refrigerant outlet side is connected to the refrigerant inflow side of the evaporator EVA via the second opening/closing valve V2 and the expansion valve EV. Further, the refrigerant outflow side of the evaporator EVA is connected to the refrigerant circulation path 40 of the first cooling system and is also connected to the refrigerant circulation path 46 of the second cooling system. The refrigerant circulation path 46 on the refrigerant outflow side is connected to the compressor CM via the third on-off valve V3, and the refrigerant outflow side of the compressor CM is connected to the refrigerant inflow side of the condenser CD. There is.

In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, by opening the first opening/closing valve V1 in the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system, the refrigerant is dropped by its own weight due to the height difference and the evaporation is performed via the refrigerant circulation path 40. It is supplied to the container EVA, and the inside of the refrigerator is cooled by the first cooling system. At this time, since both the second opening/closing valve V2 and the third opening/closing valve V3 in the second cooling system are closed, the refrigerant circulation in the refrigerant circulation path 46 is stopped.

In the cooling circuit shown in FIG. 3, the first on-off valve V1 of the first cooling system is closed to stop the refrigerant supply. Further, the refrigerant CM is supplied to the evaporator EVA by starting the compressor CM of the second cooling system, opening the second opening/closing valve V2 and the third opening/closing valve V3, and further opening the expansion valve EV. There is. That is, the first cooling system is stopped and the second cooling system is operated to cool the inside of the refrigerator.

As described above, according to the disinfecting storage 10 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the loop type thermosiphon type first cooling system and the second cooling system having the compressor are provided side by side so that the heating operation is completed. It is possible to shorten the time for cooling the stored items in the refrigerator. That is, high-load cooling, which is difficult to deal with only by the second cooling system, can be performed by the first cooling system, so that rapid cooling is possible. Moreover, since the condenser CD, the evaporator EVA, and a part of the refrigerant circulation pipe can be shared by the first cooling system of the loop type thermosiphon system and the second cooling system having the compressor, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the size of the device even if two refrigerators are provided side by side.

(About shelf structure)
The stored items in the disinfecting storage are generally metal utensils such as tableware, chopsticks and spoons as described above, but depending on the application, the disc blade of the food slicer may be disinfected and stored. In order to store this disc blade in a disinfecting storage or a dedicated storage without a drying and disinfecting function, as shown in FIG. 5, a pair of cross-sections provided on both inner walls of the storage 52 facing each other in multiple stages at required intervals. The disk blade 50 is supported from both sides by L-shaped shelf receivers 48, 48.

However, if the horizontal width of the storage cabinet 52 corresponds to the diameter dimension of the specific disc blade 50, the space between the shelf receivers 48, 48 in the width direction can be small, and the disc blade 50 can be placed. There is no large deviation in the position. However, since the disc blade 50 may have different diameters depending on its use, it is uneconomical to separately prepare the storage cabinets 52 having the width dimensions corresponding to the disc blades 50 having different diameter dimensions. Is not realistic.

Therefore, by increasing the lateral width L of at least one of the rack receivers 48, 48 that are paired on the left and right, it is possible to mount and hold even various disk blades 50 having a certain dimensional difference. I did it. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, by setting the lateral width L1 of the right shelf receiver 48 to be larger than the lateral width of the left shelf receiver 48, the disk blade 50 is naturally placed on both shelf receivers 48, 48. It fits in the center and stabilizes. Further, by increasing the width of the shelf receiver 48, the strength can be improved and the plate thickness can be reduced. Further, when the disc blade 50 is placed on both shelf receivers 48, 48, it is housed in the vicinity of the center, so that it is neat and has a good appearance. When the diameter of the disc blade 50 is comparatively small, it is more preferable to set the lateral width L2 of the shelf receiver 48 located on the left side of FIG.
