BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a storage provided with a storage section that can store and preserve foods on a top plate of a heat insulation box, and a storage shelf that can store cooking utensils and the like is formed above the storage section.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, a horizontal refrigerator as a storage provided with a working unit for performing a pizza topping operation is used in a kitchen such as a restaurant. As shown in FIG. 7, the horizontal refrigerator 41 includes an opening that allows the inside of the box frame body 46 disposed behind the top plate 47 in the heat insulating box body 42 to communicate with the storage chamber 48 in the heat insulating box body 42. (Not shown) is opened on the top plate 47, and a cold storage container containing a topping material (foodstuff) is dropped into the opening, and the topping is stored in the container with cold air in the refrigerator. Configured to store the material cold. The top plate in front of the position where the cold container is disposed is used as a working section, and the pizza topping work is performed in this working section.
[0003]
In addition, a storage shelf 44 that can store various cooking utensils, foods that do not need to be refrigerated, for example, is provided above the box frame 46. The storage shelves 44 are erected on the near-side shelf support members 43a and 43a that are erected at the substantially central portion in the vicinity of the left and right side portions on the top plate 47 in the heat insulating box 42, and the rear-side corners. It is fixed via the rear shelf support members 43b and 43b.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the shelf support members 43a and 43a on the near side for fixing the storage shelf 44 are located at the substantially central portion in the depth direction of the horizontal refrigerator 41, other equipment installed adjacent to the horizontal refrigerator 41, for example. When working in conjunction with an electronic cooker (for example, an electronic cooker or the like), the shelf support members 43a and 43a may come into contact with each other to hinder the operation. In addition, when the operator touches the shelf support members 43a, 43a on the near side when the food is placed in the working unit, the food may fall into the cold storage container, and different foods may be mixed into the food. There is also a problem that the loss of work efficiency is likely to occur, especially during busy periods. Furthermore, since the storage shelf 44 is fixed by a total of four shelf support members 43a, 43a, 43b, and 43b, a disadvantage that the member cost increases is pointed out. Since the fixing member 45 that fixes the shelf support members 43a, 43a, 43b, and 43b on the top plate 47 of the heat insulating box 42 is likely to be attached with dust and dirt, it must be periodically cleaned. Depending on the installation location of the refrigerator, the rear shelf support members 43b and 43b are behind the front shelf support members 43a and 43a, which makes it difficult to perform the cleaning operation.

Assembly can be completed by fixing the third fixing member 27c to the cover member 31 with a screw or the like, thereby simplifying the operation. In addition, since both side walls of the cover member 31 become narrower from the rear toward the front, the support portions 25b of the shelf support member 25 can be easily assembled without being accurately aligned. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the front end portion of the cover member 31 is set to have an internal dimension substantially equal to the diameter of the support portion 25b, so that the support shelf 25b is firmly held and the storage shelf 30 is held. Can be prevented. Furthermore, the support | pillar part 25a is inserted by the recessed part 31a of the cover member 31, and the rear-end part of the support part 25b does not shift | deviate. In addition, since the support part 25b of the shelf support member 25 is covered with the cover member 31, the appearance is not deteriorated.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 6, the heat insulation box 12 is interposed via the first support plate 34 and the second support plate 35 disposed on the top surface 12 a and the rear surface 12 b in the heat insulation box 12. Since the dust pan 36 having a required size is disposed below the opening 11a, the food material or the like dropped from the storage portion 22 into the storage chamber 14 and stored in the storage chamber 14. It is possible to prevent the food material from being mixed in the storage chamber 14 or the like. Further, since the dust pan 36 abuts against the regulating piece 35b provided on the second support plate 35, the dust pan 36 is prevented from rattling, dropping off, shifting, etc., so that the food in the storage chamber 14 can be more effectively used. Can be prevented. Since the dust pan 36 is only placed on the first and second support plates 34 and 35, it can be easily removed from the storage chamber 14 side or the storage unit 22 side and cleaned. Further, the height of the first and second support plates 34 and 35 is set so that the air outlet 15a of the cooling device cover 15 in the heat insulating box 12 opens above the dust pan 36. The cold air blown out from 15a is also circulated in the housing portion 22 so that the cold insulation container 23 set in the housing portion 22 can be efficiently cooled.
[0018]
In the embodiment, the storage shelf is supported by the two shelf support members. However, the storage shelf may be supported by three or more shelf support members according to the lateral length of the storage shelf to be arranged. Also in this case, it is preferable that the shelf supporting member is an inverted L shape. Further, the means for fixing the cover member and the reinforcing member to the storage shelf is not limited to welding, and other conventionally known fixing means can be used. In the embodiment, a refrigerator that cools the inside of the warehouse is taken as an example of the storage, but a warm storage that warms the inside of the warehouse may be used.
[0019]
