Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to the structure of an anti-icing plate used to prevent stored items from icing up in a refrigerator, freezer, or the like.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in refrigerator freezers and freezers, ice buildup has occurred at the portions where stored items come into contact with internal walls, etc., and there has been a desire to eliminate this problem. In reality, when such ice formation occurs, a defrost device or the like is activated to remove it over a relatively long period of time.

In addition, although current refrigerator freezers are designed to relatively prevent ice from forming between the internal walls and stored items, when storing liquid items, there is a risk of spillage from the containers. Accidents that contaminate the inside of the warehouse often occur.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, it has been desired to develop an anti-icing device that eliminates the problem of preventing ice build-up in refrigerators or freezers, but such a product has not yet existed. Similarly, there is no specific contamination prevention device that prevents contamination of the inside of the refrigerator when the stored items are liquid, and therefore cleaning must be performed every time liquid is spilled. It didn't happen.
Furthermore, if this cleaning work takes a long time, there is a problem that the temperature inside the refrigerator rises and the cooling efficiency decreases.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-icing device that satisfies the above-mentioned needs and is capable of effectively preventing icing in refrigerators, freezers, etc., and also preventing contamination by liquid substances. There is a particular thing.

Means for Solving the Problems In summary, this invention is an anti-icing plate that includes a substrate having means capable of holding a liquid and protrusions provided on both sides of the substrate. The substrate may be formed by stacking a pair of plate-like members having a plurality of protrusions integrally formed on the outer surface thereof, or a plurality of protrusions may be formed on both sides of a single plate-like member. It may be something that is provided.

Effects In this invention, since a plurality of protrusions are provided on both sides of the substrate, it is possible to effectively prevent the stored items from coming into full contact with the inner surface of the refrigerator or freezer.

Furthermore, since the substrate has means capable of holding liquid, liquid spilled from the stored items will not reach the inner surface of the freezer or refrigerator. The liquid is
It may be held on the surface of the substrate, it may be held by penetrating into the substrate material, and it may be held by providing an outer wall around it to prevent a large amount of liquid from flowing out. The important thing is that the spilled liquid does not reach the inside of the warehouse.

Embodiment FIGS. 1 and 2 are a perspective view and a plan view showing an embodiment of this invention. In this embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 2a and 2b are provided on both sides of the substrate 1. The substrate 1 may be made of a material such as a metal foil such as aluminum foil, a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate, a synthetic resin plate such as a polypropylene plate, or paper, or a composite material thereof, but it may not be placed on the substrate 1. In consideration of the cooling effect on frozen objects, it is preferable to use a metal material with excellent thermal conductivity. The protrusions 2a and 2b are provided to prevent the stored frozen items from coming into full contact with the inner surface of the refrigerator or freezer, and may be integrally formed on the substrate 1. Alternatively, a separately formed projecting member may be adhered or joined to the substrate 1.

Since the protrusions 2a and 2b are formed on both sides of the substrate 1, they prevent the stored items from coming into contact with the inner surface of the freezer or refrigerator when placed inside the refrigerator and loaded with stored items. This not only prevents icing but also prevents the icing preventer itself from icing inside the refrigerator.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the protrusions 2a and 2b have a cylindrical shape, but the inner bottom thereof is closed with the substrate 1, so if the stored item is liquid, Even if the liquid that has fallen through the storage container enters the inside of the protrusion 2a, the liquid is retained by the surface of the substrate and the wall of the protrusion and will not fall downward. Moreover, the liquid material that has fallen outside the protrusion is held on the surface of the substrate. Therefore, it is possible to prevent contamination inside the refrigerator.

The protrusions 2a formed on one side of the substrate 1 and the protrusions 2b formed on the other side are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 showing a front view and a side view of the embodiment shown in FIG. As is clear, the protrusions 2a and 2b are arranged in a plurality of directions perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, but this arrangement has no particular meaning, and the plurality of protrusions 2a and 2b may be dispersed as appropriate over the entire substrate 1. The greater the number, the more stable the anti-icing device can be.

In the embodiment shown with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the substrate 1 was composed of one plate-like member, but as shown in the front view in FIG. A configuration may be adopted in which a pair of plate-like members 11a and 11b having a plurality of protrusions 12a and 12b on their surfaces are prepared, and the surfaces on which the protrusions 12a and 12b are not formed are adhered or joined together. If the protrusions 12a and 12b do not have a bottom surface and are formed into a penetrating cylindrical shape, by aligning the protrusions 12a and 12b so that they do not overlap, the back surface of the other plate-like member is aligned with the protrusion. It becomes the bottom surface and can be closed. In addition, the protrusion 1
The protrusion 2a and the protrusion 12b may overlap each other, so that the protrusion 2a and the protrusion 12b are connected and penetrated. In this case, the liquid substance cannot be held inside the protrusion, but the liquid substance can be held on the surface of the plate member outside the protrusion.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the substrate 1 has a rectangular shape as a whole, but this shape can also be arbitrary, such as a disk, an ellipse, or a triangle. Similarly, protrusions 2a, 2b
The shape is also not limited to the cylindrical shape shown in the drawings, but can be configured to any shape.

Further, when the substrate 1 is constructed using aluminum foil, a metal plate, or the like, a hem wrap or the like may be provided around the substrate 1 in order to ensure safety during handling.

Furthermore, an annular wall may be formed around the container in order to prevent liquids spilled from the stored items from spilling into the freezer or refrigerator.

Effects of the invention As described above, the anti-icing board of this invention is equipped with a substrate having means capable of holding liquid and protrusions provided on both sides of the substrate, so it can be stored in a freezer or refrigerator. It is possible to effectively prevent ice formation, and it is also possible to reliably prevent contamination of the inside of the refrigerator when liquid stored items spill from the storage container.
