BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a case in which a plurality of freezing / refrigerating showcases are connected side by side to display foods that require different temperature retention in adjacent cases, or cooling of adjacent cases. If the lines are different,
The present invention relates to a partition plate mounting structure used to block the movement of cold and warm air between them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a store such as a supermarket, when displaying refrigerated foods or fresh foods, a large number of frozen / refrigerated showcases are connected side by side to store foods that require different temperature retention. It is often displayed. In addition, there are many cases where the cooling systems of the showcases connected side by side are different from each other. In that case, between the showcases arranged side by side,
If a means for cutting off the flow of cold air or warm air between the two is not taken, cold air or warm air may move between the cases and normal operation may be impeded.

For this reason, conventionally, a partition plate made of a transparent material such as acrylic has been used to partition both spaces which cause a temperature difference. The conventional partition plate mounting structure is, for example, a structure in which the size of the partition plate is processed to be slightly larger than the inner surface of the U-shaped cross section of the case, which is fixed to the side surface of the showcase with screws or the like to completely shut it off. Or figure
As shown in detail in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the size of the partition plate 51 is processed to be slightly smaller than the inner surface 52 of the showcase 5 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the ceiling surface or the flat surface of the case inner surface 52 at the partition plate mounting position. A pair of L-shaped plate-like fixing fittings 5 in places such as
3 is fixed with screws 55 or the like to form the insertion groove 54 of the partition plate 51, and the partition plate 51 is inserted therein to shut off the cold / warm air movement of both spaces which causes a temperature difference although it is incomplete. There is something that you did.

[0004]

However, with the partition plate mounting means for completely shutting off the former, the partition plate is completely fixed to the side surface of the showcase, so that the partition plate can be attached and detached after the showcases are connected. There is a drawback that makes it impossible.

In the latter mounting means, the space between the partition plate 51 and the case ceiling surface or the case back surface is usually 5 to 10 mm.
There is a gap between the cases, which causes cold and warm air to move between the cases, causing dew condensation on the ceiling surface, or causing dew condensation or icing on the areas between the cases. The lower the specification is, the more frost is formed on the cooler, which impairs the cooling performance.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it completely blocks the flow of cold air or warm air between showcases and allows the partition plates to be easily attached and detached even after the case is connected. It is an object to provide a partition plate mounting structure for a space.

[0007]

The partition plate mounting structure between the freezing / refrigerating showcases of the present invention adopts the following means in order to achieve the above object.

That is, a partition plate holding section having a U-shaped cross section is provided and at least from the ceiling surface to the back surface inside the case between the showcase gaps that occur when a plurality of frozen / refrigerated showcases are connected side by side. While inserting and inserting the insertion ridge of the partition plate holder in which the insertion ridge is integrally formed at the base end of the holding part, the partition plate is clamped and closely attached to the partition plate holding part of the partition plate holder. The
It And, as this partition plate holder, its cross section U
The U-shaped partition plate holding portion is formed of a soft material such as soft vinyl chloride, and the U-shaped cross-section of the partition plate holding portion is formed with its tip slightly inward .

It is preferable that the partition plate holder is closely attached over the entire circumference of the inner surface of the case having a U-shaped cross section, but if it is installed at least from the ceiling surface to the back surface of the inner surface of the case, when the partition plate is fitted. Since the partition plate comes into contact with the floor surface in the refrigerator by its own weight and relatively closely partitions the two cases, it is not always necessary to attach it to the floor surface in the refrigerator.

[0010]

[Working] Divider holder between frozen / refrigerated showcases
Since the partition plate is closely attached via the , the movement of cold air or warm air between the cases can be completely blocked.
As a result, it is possible to prevent dew condensation on the ceiling surface of the case, and it is possible to eliminate problems caused by the inflow of cold air and warm air into the adjacent case. Moreover, since the partition plate holder is inserted between the showcases and attached, it can be easily attached even after the showcases are connected, and
Since the partition plate is simply inserted and attached, the attachment and detachment is extremely easy.
