Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は温冷蔵装置に関し、特に温蔵室と冷蔵室との間の仕切壁の支持構造に改良を加えたものに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
例えば温冷配膳車は、断熱箱からなる本体内に、断熱性の単位仕切壁を複数個積み上げて形成された仕切壁が設けられて、その左右両側に温蔵室と冷蔵室とが形成された構造であって、トレイ上に温食と冷食とを分けて載せ、上下の単位仕切壁の間を貫通しつつトレイを両室に跨って収容することで、温食は保温状態に、冷食は保冷状態にそれぞれ貯蔵するようになっている。
ここで、温冷配膳車の一機能として、本体を前後両面が開口したものとし、例えば前面側から入れたトレイを後面側から取り出すといった、いわゆるパススルー機能が要求される場合がある。このようなパススルー型のものでは、トレイの通り抜けを許容するために、各単位仕切壁は左右両側から支持する必要がある。具体的には、単位仕切壁の左右の面と、温蔵室と冷蔵室における仕切壁とは反対側の壁面との間にそれぞれ支持板をわたして連結する方法が採られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで上記した単位仕切壁は、断熱性を確保しまた軽量化を図る等のために、合成樹脂材を押し出し成形した中空状のもの使用する場合が多く、どうしても支持板を取り付ける部分での強度に劣る。そのため両支持板は、極端に言うと、両室の取付壁面から片持ち状に取り付けられた状態となり、トレイが入れられて負荷が加わった場合などに、両支持板が正面V字形をなすように傾きつつ単位仕切壁が下がるおそれがあり、そうすると、その上段の単位仕切壁との間に隙間ができて両室間の断熱性が損なわれたり、逆に下段の単位仕切壁との間が詰まってトレイの収容がし辛くなる。
それを避けるための一対策として、支持板が容易に傾かないように、支持板における両室の取付壁面側での取付強度を上げることが有効であり、具体的には、両室の壁面の前に堅牢な支持柱を立て、この支持柱に支持板を締結具で強固に取り付けるといったことがなされている。
【0004】
しかしながら上記のものでは、構造が大掛かりとなって機体全体の重量増を招くばかりでなく、単位仕切壁を機外で掃除すべく取り外そうと思っても、簡単に対応できないという問題があった。
本発明は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、その目的は、温蔵室と冷蔵室の取付壁面側での取付構造を簡易に留めたままでも単位仕切壁が簡単に下がることのないようにした支持構造を提供するところにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するための手段として、請求項1の発明に係る温冷蔵装置は、断熱箱からなる本体内には、合成樹脂材からなる断熱性の単位仕切壁を複数個積み上げてこの本体内を左右に仕切る仕切壁が設けられて、その両側に温蔵室と冷蔵室とが形成され、この温蔵室と冷蔵室とにトレイが収容されるようにしたものにおいて、前記各単位仕切壁の左右の面には、一対の支持アームが水平方向を向いて突出した姿勢で取り付けられ、各支持アームの突出端が、前記温蔵室と冷蔵室における前記仕切壁とは反対側の壁面に取り付けられるようになっており、かつ前記単位仕切壁内にはその左右の面の間にわたって宛われた補強部材が設けられ、前記各支持アームの基端が、締結具により前記補強部材に共締めされることで前記単位仕切壁の面に取り付けられており、さらに前記単位仕切壁内には、その左右の面の間にわたって前記補強部材を載置する補強板が一体的に形成されているところに特徴を有する。
【0006】
請求項2の発明の温冷蔵装置は、断熱箱からなる本体内には、合成樹脂材からなる断熱性の単位仕切壁を複数個積み上げてこの本体内を左右に仕切る仕切壁が設けられて、その両側に温蔵室と冷蔵室とが形成され、この温蔵室と冷蔵室とにトレイが収容されるようにしたものにおいて、前記各単位仕切壁の左右の面には、一対の支持アームが水平方向を向いて突出した姿勢で取り付けられ、各支持アームの突出端が、前記温蔵室と冷蔵室における前記仕切壁とは反対側の壁面に取り付けられるようになっており、かつ前記単位仕切壁内にはその左右の面の間にわたって宛われた補強部材が設けられ、前記各支持アームの基端が、締結具により前記補強部材に共締めされることで前記単位仕切壁の面に取り付けられており、さらに前記補強部材は、大小2個の金属製のチャンネル材を上下逆向きの姿勢で嵌合して一体化された構造となっているところに特徴を有する。
請求項3の発明は、請求項1に記載のものにおいて、前記補強部材は、大小2個の金属製のチャンネル材を上下逆向きの姿勢で嵌合して一体化された構造となっているところに特徴を有する。
請求項4の発明は、請求項1ないし請求項3のいずれかに記載のものにおいて、前記両支持アームの突出端には、前記トレイの側縁を受けるトレイ受けが設けられ、このトレイ受けが前記温蔵室と冷蔵室における前記仕切壁とは反対側の壁面に取り付けられているところに特徴を有する。
請求項5の発明は、請求項1ないし請求項4のいずれかに記載のものにおいて、前記支持アームが帯状の板金により形成され、この板金に開口が形成されているところに特徴を有する。
【0007】
【発明の作用及び効果】
<請求項1の発明>
両支持アームの基端を補強部材と共締めすることで単位仕切壁の左右の面に取り付ける構造としたから、両支持アームと単位仕切壁とを1個の剛体として形成でき、温蔵室と冷蔵室における仕切壁とは反対側の壁面に対して両持ち状に差し渡して取り付けることができる。そのため、両支持アームの突出端を両室の取付壁面に対して取り付ける部分の構造を比較的簡易に留めたままでも、単位仕切壁の下がりを招くことなくトレイを支えることができる。補強部材は補強板に載置されつつ単位仕切壁の左右の面の間にわたされる。

補強部材は、大小2個の金属製のチャンネル材が上下逆向きの姿勢で嵌合され、溶接等で予め一体化される。
<請求項4の発明>
単位仕切壁とトレイ受けとをユニット化したから、取り扱いにより優れたものとなる。
<請求項5の発明>
冷蔵室または温蔵室に庫内空気が流通されるようになっている場合に、支持アームに形成された開口を庫内空気の流通口として利用することができる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を温冷配膳車に適用した一実施形態を図1ないし図11に基づいて説明する。
本実施形態の温冷配膳車は、図1に示すように、全体として矩形箱状をなす貯蔵室本体1(以下、単に本体という)を備えており、詳細には前後両面が開放された形状で、天井壁、底壁並びに左右の側壁内に発泡ウレタン等の断熱材を充填した断熱箱体として構成されている。本体1の底面には図示しないキャスタが装備されて移動可能となっているとともに、上面には機械室が設けられている。
【0010】
本体1の前面と後面の開口部における幅方向の中央部には、それぞれ縦フレーム2が立てられているとともに、本体1内にもその幅方向の中央部に中間壁3が設けられ、内部が左右2室に分けられている。さらに左右の2室では、その幅方向の中央部よりも少し中間壁3側に寄った位置に、詳しくは後記する断熱性の仕切壁5が設けられている。これにより、仕切壁5の外側に温蔵室6が、仕切壁5の内側に温蔵室6よりも少し間口の狭い冷蔵室7が、それぞれ2つずつ構成されている。
言い換えると、隣り合った温蔵室6と冷蔵室7の組が左右方向に2組形成され、さらにこれが前後に分けられて、合計4つの温蔵室6と冷蔵室7の組が構成されている。各温蔵室6と冷蔵室7の組には、それぞれ扉8(図10参照)が観音開き式に装備されている。
【0011】
上記した中間壁3は、冷気流通用の前後2本のダクト9を間隔を開けて配することにより構成され、各ダクト9の左右両面には、複数段の領域に分かれてそれぞれ通気口群10が形成されている。機械室内では、両ダクト9並びに一方の冷蔵室7の天井面の開口を覆うようにして冷却器室12が画成され、その中に、圧縮機13、凝縮器14等とともに冷凍サイクルを構成する冷却器と、庫内ファンが設置されている。このため、冷凍サイクルが運転されるとともに庫内ファンが駆動されると、冷却器近傍で生成された冷気が各ダクト9内に吹き込まれて、通気口群10を通して左右の冷蔵室7に吹き出され、そののち一方の冷蔵室7の天井側から冷却器室12内に導かれるといった循環流を生じ、もって左右の冷蔵室7が冷却されるようになっている。
一方、温蔵室6における仕切壁5とは反対側の側面には、ヒータパネル16が張られている。このヒータパネル16の裏面側には、機械室に装備された温蔵ユニット17から引き出されたコードヒータが全面にわたって配線されており、主にヒータパネル16からの輻射熱により温蔵室6内が加熱されるようになっている。
【0012】
トレイ20は、合成樹脂等で横長の矩形状に形成され、横幅の中央部よりも少し一側に寄った位置に境界部20Aが設けられて、境界部20Aを挟んだ広い方に温かい状態で供される食品が、狭い方に冷たい状態で供される食品がそれぞれ載置される。このトレイ20は、後記するように境界部20Aが仕切壁5に貫通され、その両端の下面が、温蔵室6のヒータパネル16並びに冷蔵室7のダクト9に設けられたトレイ受け22で受けられつつ押し込まれて、前後両面から収容されるようになっている。
【0013】
続いて、仕切壁5並びにトレイ受け22の部分の構造を詳細に説明する。仕切壁5は、基台24上に複数個の単位仕切壁25を積み上げて形成されている。基台24は、例えば金属製の芯体に合成樹脂製の外殻体を被せた構造であって、断熱性を保有しており、ブラケット等により内装底板に固定されている。
図2に示すように、単位仕切壁25の左右両面には一対の支持アーム27H,27Cが突設され、両支持アーム27H,27Cの突出端に左右一対のトレイ受け22H,22Cが設けられることでユニット化されている。
【0014】
単位仕切壁25は、合成樹脂材の押し出し成形等により形成されており、図3に示すように、上端側を山形に尖らせた縦長断面の中空状に形成され、本体1内のほぼ奥行き寸法に匹敵する長さを有している。単位仕切壁25内には、上端側における尖った部分よりも少し下方位置と、中央高さ位置よりも少し下方位置にそれぞれ1枚ずつの補強板28A,28Bが、また下端部に間隔を開けた2枚の補強板28C,28Dが左右の側板26の間にわたって形成されており、このうち下部側の2枚の補強板28C,28Dには、その幅方向の中央部において、可動部材30の摺動案内溝29が切られている。なお、下側の摺動案内溝29の溝縁には、上向きの返し部が形成されている。
【0015】
可動部材30は同じく合成樹脂製であって、単位仕切壁25の下端側に前後一対が装着されるようになっている。詳細には可動部材30は、上記の摺動案内溝29に摺動可能に嵌合する幅を持ち、図4にも示すように、単位仕切壁25の長さの半分弱の長さを持った上面開放の箱状に形成されている。可動部材30と、単位仕切壁25の補強板28Bとの間には板バネ32が装着され、可動部材30は板バネ32の弾力により常には下向きに押圧付勢されており、上面の左右両側縁に設けられた引掛部31が上側の摺動案内溝29の溝縁に係止されることで下動が規制され、下端が単位仕切壁25の下面から一定長さ突出した状態で保持されている。可動部材30の下端の突出長さは、後記するように単位仕切壁25が積み上げ状に配設された場合に、上下の単位仕切壁25の間の間隔にほぼ匹敵する長さである。この可動部材30は、上記の板バネ32の弾力に抗して、その下面が単位仕切壁25の下面と面一となる位置まで上昇可能である(図5参照)。また、可動部材30の下面の前後両側の角には、図4に示すように、丸みの付けられたガイド部33が形成されている。
【0016】
上記した前後の可動部材30は、図4に示すように、単位仕切壁25の長さ方向の中央部において所定の隙間を開けて装着されており、この隙間部分には、ストッパ部材36が上下動可能に装着されている。このストッパ部材36は、図3に示すように、単位仕切壁25のほぼ全幅にわたる幅を有しており、補強板28Cとの間に装着された左右一対の補助板バネ37によって、常には下動付勢されて可動部材30の下面と面一の位置まで突出しており、また補助板バネ37の弾力に抗して単位仕切壁25の下面と面一となる位置まで上昇可能となっている(図5参照)。この可動部材30の下面の前後両側縁の角にも、同様にガイド部38として丸みが付けられている。
なお、各単位仕切壁25の前後の開口にはカバー40が装着され、それらのカバー40の表面には、扉8との間でマグネットキャッチを構成する磁性板41が張られている。
【0017】
単位仕切壁25の左右両面からは、上記のように一対の支持アーム27H,27Cが突設されている。これらの支持アーム27H,27Cは、ステンレス鋼製の帯状の板材を曲げ加工して形成されており、温蔵室6側に配される支持アーム27Hの方が、冷蔵室7側に配される支持アーム27Cよりも間口寸法に合わせて長く形成されている。各支持アーム27H,27Cの基端側には、直角曲げされた取付部43が形成されている。
また、冷蔵室7側に配される支持アーム27Cには、複数個の通孔44が長さ方向に間隔を開けて開口されている。
【0018】
単位仕切壁25の左右両面には、前後の長さ方向の中央部でかつ側板26の垂直面の上端部において、支持アーム27H,27Cの取付位置が設定されている。単位仕切壁25における上記した取付位置の内側には、補強部材45が嵌合されている。この補強部材45は、大小2個の金属製のチャンネル材46,47から構成されている。
大きい方の第1チャンネル材46は、単位仕切壁25における補強板28Bに載置されつつ両側板26の間に緊密に嵌合可能とされている。小さい方の第2チャンネル材47は、下向きの姿勢で第1チャンネル材46の左右両壁面の間に緊密に嵌合される。両チャンネル材46,47は、図3に示すように、溶接等で予め一体化されている。
【0019】
また、支持アーム27H,27Cの取付部43、単位仕切壁25の側板26及び補強部材45の左右の面にわたって、それぞれ4個ずつのリベット孔49が方形状に配されて整合して設けられている。
支持アーム27H,27Cを取り付ける際には、図3に示すように、補強部材45が単位仕切壁25の取付位置の内側に挿入されるとともに、取付位置の表面に支持アーム27H,27Cの取付部43が下向きで当てられ、取付部43、単位仕切壁25の側板26及び補強部材45にわたって整合されたリベット孔49に対してリベット50を打ち込むことによって、単位仕切壁25の取付面に支持アーム27H,27Cが左右両側に突出して固定されるようになっている。
【0020】
上記した両支持アーム27H,27Cの突出端には、それぞれトレイ受け22H,22Cが取り付けられている。これらのトレイ受け22H,22Cは、ステンレス鋼板を曲げ加工して形成され、本体1の奥行き寸法よりも少し短い長さのアングル状に形成されており、水平面がトレイ20の載置面52に、垂直面が取付面53となっている。載置面52の前後両端部には、先に向かって下り勾配となったガイド部54が屈曲形成されている。
各トレイ受け22は、その載置面52の長さ方向の中央部が各支持アーム27H,27Cの突出端の上面に載せられ、載置面52側から皿ネジ57で止めることによって固定されている。これにより、図2に示すように、単位仕切壁25の左右両面から一対の支持アーム27H,27Cが突設され、各支持アーム27H,27Cの突出端にトレイ受け22H,22Cの設けられた仕切ユニット56が形成される。
【0021】
各仕切ユニット56の両トレイ受け22C,22Hは、冷蔵室7のダクト9(中間壁3)と、温蔵室6のヒータパネル16とにそれぞれ取り付けられる。
そのため、冷蔵室7の中間壁3には、前後一対ずつの支持具58Cが複数段にわたって設けられている。この支持具58Cは、図7に示すように、本体部59の中心から丸ピン60の突設された形状である。そして、冷蔵室7側に配されるトレイ受け22Cの取付面53には、上記の丸ピン60が嵌合可能な前後一対の嵌合孔61が形成されている。
【0022】
一方、温蔵室6のヒータパネル16にも、同様に前後一対ずつの支持具58Hが複数段にわたって設けられている。こちらの支持具58Hは、図8に示すように、本体部63の中心にネジ孔64が切られ、このネジ孔64に、頭部66付きのネジ65が螺合された構造である。そして、温蔵室6側に配されるトレイ受け22Hの取付面53にも、同様に前後一対の嵌合孔68が形成されている。この嵌合孔68は、ネジ65の軸部67が嵌合可能でその頭部66に掛止可能な大きさに形成されているとともに、嵌合孔68の下縁には、ネジ65の軸部67を下方から挿通して嵌合孔68内に導入可能な導入溝69が、取付面53の下縁に開口して形成されている。
なお、最上段に配される単位仕切壁25には、支持アームとトレイ受けを備えていない単体のものが準備され、例えば本体1の天井面に吊り下げ状に着脱可能に装着される。
【0023】
本実施形態は上記のような構造であって、続いてその作用について説明する。仕切壁5を形成する場合は、まず、仕切ユニット56が既述した要領で組み付けられる。簡単に繰り返すと、単位仕切壁25の取付位置内に補強部材45が嵌合され、取付位置の両面に一対の支持アーム27H,27Cの取付部43が当てられて、補強部材45とともにリベット50が打ち込まれることで固定され、さらに両支持アーム27H,27Cの突出端にそれぞれトレイ受け22H,22Cが皿ネジ57で固定される。一方、冷蔵室7の壁面を構成するダクト9と、温蔵室6の壁面を構成するヒータパネル16には、それぞれ前後一対ずつの支持具58C,58Hが、複数段にわたって対向状に取り付けられる。
【0024】
各仕切ユニット56は、例えば下段側から順次に組み付けられる。その手順は、図9に示すように、仕切ユニット56を冷蔵室7側のトレイ受け22Cを下にした斜め姿勢にして、その取付面53の嵌合孔61を冷蔵室7側の支持具58Cの丸ピン60に差し込む。次に、温蔵室6側のトレイ受け22Hを下げるように水平姿勢にすると、温蔵室6側の支持具58Hのネジ65の軸部67が、温蔵室6側のトレイ受け22Hの取付面53の嵌合孔68に導入溝69を通って下側から入り込み、嵌合孔68がネジ65の軸部67で受けられた状態となる。そして、ネジ65をねじ込むと、その頭部66と支持具58Hの本体部63の端面との間でトレイ受け22Hの取付面53が挟持されて固定される。同じ要領で、他の仕切ユニット56が下段側から順次に積み上げられるようにして組み付けられる。最後に、最上段の単位仕切壁25が組み付けられる。
【0025】
すべての単位仕切壁25が組み付けられたら、各単位仕切壁25における前後の可動部材30並びにストッパ部材36は、板バネ32,37の弾力によってその下側の単位仕切壁25の上面に当接した状態となる(図6参照)。なお、最下段の単位仕切壁25の可動部材30とストッパ部材36は、基台24の上面に当接する。これにより、対をなす温蔵室6と冷蔵室7との間を断熱状に遮断する仕切壁5が構築される。
それとともに、対をなす温蔵室6と冷蔵室7における仕切壁5とは反対側の壁面に、左右一対のトレイ受け22H,22Cが複数段にわたって配設された状態となる。なお、最下段では、ユニット化されていないトレイ受け22H,22Cが準備されて、両室6,7の取付壁面に直接に取り付けられる。
【0026】
配膳車に給食を収容する場合は、対をなす温蔵室6と冷蔵室7の扉8を開放したのち、温食と冷食とをそれぞれ盛ったトレイ20を、境界部20Aを単位仕切壁25に装着された可動部材30のガイド部33に当てるようにして押し込む。そうすると、可動部材30が板バネ32の弾力に抗して持ち上げられつつ、境界部20Aが可動部材30とその下の単位仕切壁25の上面との間に割って入り、またトレイ20の両側縁がガイド部54からトレイ受け22H,22Cの載置面52上に乗り上げて滑りつつ押し込まれ、トレイ20の奥端がストッパ部材36に当たることで収容が完了する。このとき、可動部材30がトレイ20の境界部20Aに押し付けられているので、温蔵室6と冷蔵室7の間は断熱状態に保たれる。
【0027】
ここで各仕切ユニット56は、上記したように、単位仕切壁25の取付位置の内部に補強部材45を嵌合し、左右両面に支持アーム27H,27Cの取付部43を補強部材45とリベット50で共締めすることで取り付けた構造となっているから、両支持アーム27H,27Cと単位仕切壁25とをいわば1個の剛体として形成できる。そのため、両支持アーム27C,27Hの突出端に設けられたトレイ受け22C,22Hを、冷蔵室7側では丸ピン60を嵌合孔61に嵌めただけ、温蔵室6でもネジ65の軸部67を嵌合孔68に通してそのネジ65をねじ込んだだけという簡単な取付構造としても、トレイ20からの負荷を受けて、両支持アーム27H,27Cが正面V字形をなすように傾きつつ単位仕切壁25が下がるといったことがない。したがって、その上の単位仕切壁25の可動部材30との間に隙間ができて両室6,7の間の断熱性が損なわれたり、逆に下の単位仕切壁25に対して可動部材30が強固に押し付けられてトレイ20の差し込みがし辛くなるといった弊害を生むことがない。
【0028】
温蔵室6内はヒータパネル16からの輻射熱で加熱され、そこに収容されたトレイ20上の温食が温蔵状態とされる。一方、冷蔵室7側では、冷却器室12から両ダクト9内に吹き込まれた冷気が通気口群10を通して左右の冷蔵室7に吹き出され、そののち一方の冷蔵室7の天井側から冷却器室12内に導かれるといった循環流を生じて冷却され、そこに収容されたトレイ20上の冷食が冷蔵される。ここで、同一段に前後両側からトレイ20が収容された場合、図10(A)に示すように、冷蔵室7内で前後のトレイ20の間の隙間が支持アーム27Cで塞がれることになるが、この支持アーム27Cには通孔44が開口されているから、冷気が上下方向に流通することが確保され、各段の冷蔵室7はばらつきなく冷却される。
【0029】
トレイ20を取り出す場合は、それぞれ差し込んだ方向とは逆に引き抜けばよい。また本実施形態の配膳車は、前面側から収容したトレイ20を後面側から取り出す、あるいはその逆のいわゆるパススルー形態で使用することもできる。例えば、前面側からトレイ20を差し込むと、一旦ストッパ部材36で押し込みが規制されるが、さらに押し込むと、境界部20Aがストッパ部材36のガイド部38(図4参照)に押し付けられて、図5に示すように、ストッパ部材36が補助板バネ37の弾力に抗して持ち上げられつつ境界部20Aが割って入り、トレイ20を後面側に移動させることができる。
なお、このパススルー機能があるが故に、例えばトレイ20を前面側に留めて置きたいにも拘わらず、図10(B)のように、トレイ20がストッパ部材36の位置に割って入ってしまうことがある。その場合は、トレイ20の奥側が通孔44を有する支持アーム27Cの上方を塞いだ状態となるが、逆に、トレイ20の手前側に隙間ができるので、冷気の流通が遮断されることはない。
【0030】
一方、上記のトレイ20の出し入れに際して汁等がこぼれ、単位仕切壁25やトレイ受け22H,22Cに付着するおそれがあるので、適宜に掃除する必要がある。そのときは、各仕切ユニット56ごと順次に取り外す。例えば、上記の組み付けの手順とは逆に、最上段の単位仕切壁25を外したのち、上から順次に取り外せばよい。仕切ユニット56の取り外しの手順は、温蔵室6側のトレイ受け22Hを止めていたネジ65を緩めたのち、そのトレイ受け22H側を持ち上げて、嵌合孔68をネジ65の軸部67の上方に抜き、続いて、仕切ユニット56全体を温蔵室6側にずらして冷蔵室7側のトレイ受け22Cの嵌合孔61を丸ピン60から抜き、最後に開口部側に引き出せばよい。そうしたら、仕切ユニット56ごと水洗い等で掃除すればよい。
【0031】
なお、汚れの付着が一部のみであって、汚れの付着した仕切ユニット56だけを外して掃除することも可能である。その場合は、外したい仕切ユニット56における温蔵室6側のトレイ受け22Hのネジ65を緩め、同様にそのトレイ受け22Hを持ち上げると、図11に示すように、その上の単位仕切壁25に装着された可動部材30とストッパ部材36とが押し上げられつつ仕切ユニット56が傾いて、トレイ受け22Hの嵌合孔68がネジ65の軸部67の上方に抜けるから、続いて同様に、仕切ユニット56全体を温蔵室6側にずらして冷蔵室7側のトレイ受け22Cの嵌合孔61を丸ピン60から抜き、開口部側に引き出せばよい。
掃除が終わって組み付ける場合も、その上の単位仕切壁25の可動部材30とストッパ部材36とを押し上げて仕切ユニット56の傾倒許容空間を確保しつつ、同様に組み付けることができる。
【0032】
以上説明したように本実施形態によれば、単位仕切壁25を左右両側から支持アーム27H,27Cで支持するに当たり、単位仕切壁25の取付位置の内部に補強部材45を嵌合し、左右両面に支持アーム27H,27Cの取付部43を補強部材45とリベット50で共締めして取り付ける構造を採用したから、両支持アーム27H,27Cと単位仕切壁25とをいわば1個の剛体として形成できる。そのため、両支持アーム27C,27Hの突出端に設けられたトレイ受け22C,22Hを、冷蔵室7側では丸ピン60を嵌合孔61に嵌めただけ、温蔵室6でもネジ65の軸部67を嵌合孔68に通してそのネジ65をねじ込んだだけという簡単な取付構造としても、トレイ20の負荷を受けた際に、両支持アーム27H,27Cが正面V字形をなすように傾きつつ単位仕切壁25が下がるといったことがない。したがって、その上の単位仕切壁25との間に隙間ができて断熱性が損なわれたり、逆に下の単位仕切壁25に対して可動部材30が強固に押し付けられてトレイ20の差し込みがし辛くなるといった弊害を生むことが避けられる。
両支持アーム27H,27Cにおける温蔵室6及び冷蔵室7の壁面への取付部分の構造をさほど堅牢とする必要が無いことで、構造が簡略化され、また機体全体の軽量化を図ることができる。また、着脱作業も簡単となる。
【0033】
単位仕切壁25に支持アーム27H,27Cを突設し、その両端にトレイ受け22H,22Cを設けることで、仕切ユニット56としてユニット化したから、組み付けや取り外し等で取り扱いがしやすくなる。
また、冷気が循環送風される冷蔵室7側に配される支持アーム27Cには通孔44が開口されているから、支持アーム27Cがあるにも拘わらず冷気が上下方向に流通することが確保され、ひいては各段の冷蔵室7内をばらつきなく冷却することが可能となる。
【0034】
<変形例>
単位仕切壁25内に補強部材45を嵌合する部分の構造において、図12に示すように、内側の第2チャンネル材47を外側の第1チャンネル材46の内底面上に載せるようにしてもよい。この場合、両チャンネル材46,47に開けられるリベット孔49の位置が合わせやすくなるから、両者を溶接等で固定することなく単に嵌め合わせるだけでもよくなる。
【0035】
<他の実施形態>

An introduction groove 69 that can be inserted into the fitting hole 68 by passing through the portion 67 from below is formed to open at the lower edge of the mounting surface 53.
The unit partition wall 25 arranged at the uppermost stage is prepared as a single unit without a support arm and a tray receiver, and is detachably attached to, for example, a ceiling surface of the main body 1 in a suspended manner.
[0023]
The present embodiment has the above-described structure, and its operation will be described below. When the partition wall 5 is formed, first, the partition unit 56 is assembled in the manner described above. When simply repeated, the reinforcing member 45 is fitted into the mounting position of the unit partition wall 25, and the mounting portions 43 of the pair of support arms 27H and 27C are applied to both surfaces of the mounting position. The tray holders 22H and 22C are fixed to the projecting ends of the two support arms 27H and 27C with the flathead screws 57, respectively. On the other hand, a pair of front and rear support members 58C and 58H are attached to the duct 9 forming the wall surface of the refrigerating room 7 and the heater panel 16 forming the wall surface of the refrigerating room 6 in a plurality of stages so as to face each other.
[0024]
Each partition unit 56 is assembled sequentially, for example, from the lower side. As shown in FIG. 9, the procedure is as follows: the partitioning unit 56 is placed in an oblique position with the tray receiver 22C on the refrigerator compartment 7 side down, and the fitting hole 61 of the mounting surface 53 is inserted into the support 58C on the refrigerator compartment 7 side. Into the round pin 60. Next, when the tray receiver 22H on the storage compartment 6 is set to a horizontal position so as to be lowered, the shaft 67 of the screw 65 of the support 58H on the storage compartment 6 is attached to the tray support 22H on the storage compartment 6 side. It enters the fitting hole 68 of the surface 53 from below through the introduction groove 69, and the fitting hole 68 is received by the shaft 67 of the screw 65. When the screw 65 is screwed in, the mounting surface 53 of the tray receiver 22H is sandwiched and fixed between the head 66 and the end surface of the main body 63 of the support tool 58H. In the same manner, the other partition units 56 are assembled so as to be sequentially stacked from the lower side. Finally, the uppermost unit partition wall 25 is assembled.
[0025]
When all the unit partition walls 25 are assembled, the front and rear movable members 30 and the stopper members 36 in each unit partition wall 25 abut on the upper surface of the unit partition wall 25 thereunder by the elasticity of the leaf springs 32 and 37. State (see FIG. 6). In addition, the movable member 30 and the stopper member 36 of the lowermost unit partition wall 25 abut on the upper surface of the base 24. As a result, the partition wall 5 for insulating the pair of the warming room 6 and the cold room 7 in a heat-insulating manner is constructed.
At the same time, a pair of left and right tray receivers 22H and 22C are arranged in a plurality of stages on the wall surface opposite to the partition wall 5 in the paired warming room 6 and cold room 7. At the lowermost stage, tray receivers 22H and 22C which are not unitized are prepared, and are directly mounted on the mounting wall surfaces of both chambers 6 and 7.
[0026]
In the case of storing meals in the catering car, after opening the doors 8 of the hot room 6 and the cold room 7 forming a pair, the tray 20 on which hot food and cold food are respectively filled is placed, and the boundary portion 20A is divided into unit partition walls 25. Is pushed in such a manner that it comes into contact with the guide portion 33 of the movable member 30 attached to the movable member. Then, while the movable member 30 is lifted up against the elasticity of the leaf spring 32, the boundary portion 20 </ b> A is split between the movable member 30 and the upper surface of the unit partition wall 25 below the movable member 30, and both side edges of the tray 20 are moved. Is slid from the guide portion 54 onto the mounting surface 52 of the tray receivers 22H and 22C and is pushed in while sliding, and the inner end of the tray 20 hits the stopper member 36, thereby completing the storage. At this time, since the movable member 30 is pressed against the boundary portion 20A of the tray 20, the space between the warming room 6 and the cold room 7 is kept insulated.
[0027]
Here, as described above, each partition unit 56 fits the reinforcing member 45 inside the mounting position of the unit partition wall 25, and attaches the mounting portions 43 of the support arms 27H and 27C to the left and right surfaces on both sides of the reinforcing member 45 and the rivet 50. Therefore, the support arms 27H and 27C and the unit partition wall 25 can be formed as a single rigid body. Therefore, the tray receivers 22C and 22H provided at the protruding ends of the support arms 27C and 27H are fitted in the refrigerating chamber 7 only by fitting the round pins 60 into the fitting holes 61. Even with a simple mounting structure in which the screw 67 is simply screwed into the fitting hole 68 through the fitting hole 68, a unit from the unit 20 while receiving a load from the tray 20 while tilting the support arms 27H and 27C so as to form a front V-shape. The partition wall 25 does not go down. Accordingly, a gap is formed between the movable member 30 of the unit partition wall 25 thereon and heat insulation between the two chambers 6 and 7 is impaired. Is not pressed firmly and it is difficult to insert the tray 20.
[0028]
The inside of the warming room 6 is heated by the radiant heat from the heater panel 16, and the hot food on the tray 20 accommodated therein is kept warm. On the other hand, on the refrigeration room 7 side, the cool air blown into the two ducts 9 from the chiller room 12 is blown out to the left and right refrigeration rooms 7 through the ventilation port group 10, and then the chiller is cooled from the ceiling side of one of the refrigeration rooms 7. A circulating flow, such as being guided into the chamber 12, is generated and cooled, and the cold food on the tray 20 accommodated therein is refrigerated. Here, when the trays 20 are accommodated in the same step from both front and rear sides, as shown in FIG. 10A, the gap between the front and rear trays 20 in the refrigerator compartment 7 is closed by the support arm 27C. However, since the through-hole 44 is opened in the support arm 27C, it is ensured that the cool air flows in the vertical direction, and the refrigerating chambers 7 in each stage are cooled without variation.
[0029]
When taking out the tray 20, it is only necessary to pull out the tray 20 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction. In addition, the serving truck of the present embodiment can be used in a so-called pass-through configuration in which the tray 20 accommodated from the front side is taken out from the rear side, or vice versa. For example, when the tray 20 is inserted from the front side, the pushing is once restricted by the stopper member 36, but when the tray 20 is further pushed, the boundary portion 20A is pressed against the guide portion 38 (see FIG. 4) of the stopper member 36, and FIG. As shown in (2), while the stopper member 36 is lifted against the elasticity of the auxiliary leaf spring 37, the boundary portion 20A breaks into the stopper member 36, and the tray 20 can be moved to the rear surface side.
Due to the pass-through function, for example, the tray 20 may break into the position of the stopper member 36 as shown in FIG. There is. In this case, the rear side of the tray 20 blocks the upper part of the support arm 27C having the through hole 44, but on the contrary, a gap is formed on the front side of the tray 20, so that the flow of cool air is not interrupted. Absent.
[0030]
On the other hand, juice or the like may be spilled when the tray 20 is taken in and out, and may adhere to the unit partition wall 25 and the tray receivers 22H and 22C. At that time, the partition units 56 are sequentially removed. For example, contrary to the above-described assembling procedure, the uppermost unit partition wall 25 may be removed and then sequentially removed from above. The procedure for removing the partition unit 56 is as follows. After loosening the screw 65 holding the tray receiver 22H on the storage chamber 6 side, lift the tray receiver 22H side, and fit the fitting hole 68 into the shaft part 67 of the screw 65. Then, the entire partitioning unit 56 may be shifted to the warming room 6 side, the fitting hole 61 of the tray receiver 22C of the refrigerating room 7 side may be pulled out from the round pin 60, and finally it may be pulled out to the opening side. Then, the entire partition unit 56 may be cleaned by washing with water or the like.
[0031]
In addition, it is possible to remove only the partition unit 56 to which dirt has adhered, and to clean the partition unit 56 only. In this case, the screws 65 of the tray receiver 22H on the side of the storage compartment 6 in the partition unit 56 to be removed are loosened, and the tray receiver 22H is similarly lifted, as shown in FIG. The partitioning unit 56 tilts while the mounted movable member 30 and the stopper member 36 are pushed up, and the fitting hole 68 of the tray receiver 22H comes out above the shaft 67 of the screw 65. The whole 56 may be shifted to the warming room 6 side, the fitting hole 61 of the tray receiver 22C on the cold room 7 side may be pulled out from the round pin 60, and pulled out to the opening side.
Also in the case of assembling after cleaning, the movable unit 30 and the stopper member 36 of the unit partition wall 25 thereon are pushed up to secure the tilting allowable space of the partition unit 56 and can be assembled in the same manner.
[0032]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the unit partition wall 25 is supported by the support arms 27H and 27C from both the left and right sides, the reinforcing member 45 is fitted inside the mounting position of the unit partition wall 25, and both the left and right sides are fitted. A structure is adopted in which the mounting portions 43 of the support arms 27H and 27C are fastened together by the reinforcing member 45 and the rivets 50, so that both the support arms 27H and 27C and the unit partition wall 25 can be formed as a single rigid body. . Therefore, the tray receivers 22C and 22H provided at the protruding ends of the support arms 27C and 27H are fitted in the refrigerating chamber 7 only by fitting the round pins 60 into the fitting holes 61. Even with a simple mounting structure in which the screw 67 is simply screwed through the fitting hole 68, the support arms 27H and 27C are tilted so as to form a front V-shape when the load of the tray 20 is received. The unit partition 25 does not go down. Therefore, a gap is formed between the unit partition wall 25 above the unit partition wall 25 and heat insulation is impaired. On the contrary, the movable member 30 is strongly pressed against the unit partition wall 25 below and the tray 20 is inserted. It is possible to avoid adverse effects such as spiciness.
Since it is not necessary to make the structure of the mounting portions of the supporting arms 27H and 27C to the wall surfaces of the warming room 6 and the cold room 7 so strong, the structure is simplified and the weight of the entire body can be reduced. it can. Also, the attachment / detachment work is simplified.
[0033]
By providing the support arms 27H and 27C on the unit partition wall 25 and providing the tray receivers 22H and 22C at both ends thereof, the partition unit 56 is unitized, so that it is easy to handle by assembling and removing.
Further, since the through-hole 44 is opened in the support arm 27C arranged on the side of the refrigerator compartment 7 where the cool air is circulated and blown, it is ensured that the cool air flows in the vertical direction despite the presence of the support arm 27C. As a result, the inside of the refrigerating chamber 7 of each stage can be cooled without variation.
[0034]
<Modification>
In the structure of the portion where the reinforcing member 45 is fitted in the unit partition wall 25, as shown in FIG. 12, the inner second channel member 47 may be placed on the inner bottom surface of the outer first channel member 46. Good. In this case, the position of the rivet holes 49 formed in both the channel members 46 and 47 can be easily adjusted, so that the rivet holes 49 can be simply fitted without fixing them by welding or the like.
