Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a case for transporting small items, and it is particularly important to keep food in cups that require cold storage in a cold storage and transport it. This invention relates to a refrigerated transport device for cup-packed foods that also serves as a refrigerated conveyor.

[Conventional technology]

Foods in cups such as jelly, yogurt, and water yokan need to be kept cold, so
It was common for each cup of food to be packed into a storage box and stored in a refrigerator, or transported by a vehicle equipped with a refrigerator. Therefore, with the conventional method, not only does it take time and effort to pack the product into a storage box, but it also fails to keep the product cool, resulting in a defective product that cannot be marketed. Furthermore, when various types of cup-packed foods are sold as a set, each item must be taken out of each storage box and packaged in a packaging box, causing various inconveniences.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The problem to be solved by the present invention lies in solving the inconveniences of the conventional technology. That is, the problem to be solved by the present invention lies in the ability to package various types of cup-filled foods into a desired assortment, keep them cool, and transport them.

[Means to solve the problem]

The refrigerated transport device for food in cups of the present invention was developed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and consists of a diamond-shaped base frame 2 with a ventilation hole 3 in the center, and the base frame 2. Falling water openings 5 in each of the four directions around the center
A case body 1 is formed by integrally molding a cup receiving part 4 having a hole therein, and a base frame 2 of the case body 1 has an edge surface whose base surface 2a is formed approximately parallel to the bottom surface 8 over the entire circumference of the side surface 7. 6, the height of the ventilation hole 3 is located between the base surface 2a and the bottom surface 8, and a recess 2b is provided between the ventilation hole 3 and the cup receiving portion 4. The cup-filled food A is arranged in the cup receivers 4 of the case body 1, and is kept cool and transported by using a bottom surface 8a for circulation between the cup receivers 4 that are adjacent to each other.
Further, the case bodies 1 are stacked and stored in a cold storage, and during storage, cold air is blown from the ventilation opening 3 and sent between each case body 1, while during cold storage, cold air is stored between each case body 1. All of these problems can be solved by causing the water droplets to fall sequentially downward from each water droplet 5. In other words, the problem that the present invention aims to solve is to package, keep, and transport food in cold cups in the same case, and to combine and set various types of cold cup foods. To make packaging possible, to make it easy to carry and stack packaged cases, to be able to uniformly and effectively send cold air to each cup of food when keeping it cold in a refrigerator, etc., and to make it possible to The purpose of this invention is to make it possible for water droplets to fall one after another.

[Effect]

This invention is made of a slightly hard and lightweight synthetic resin material such as plastic, making it light and easy to carry.Furthermore, it can be stacked many times, so it can be used for cold storage in refrigerators, cars, etc. It is also easy to transport. In addition, the case body 1 is provided with a ventilation hole 3 for sucking in cold air from inside the refrigerator, a passage 11 for discharging the cold air to the outside, and a water droplet 5 for dropping water droplets generated during cold storage, so that each cup of food A is evenly distributed. It can be kept cool without water droplets accumulating, and it can be kept cool well.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the refrigerated transport device for food in cups of the present invention, in which A represents the front side, B represents the back side, and 1 is the case body. The case body 1 is a commonly used plastic case, and is designed to be easily molded into one piece. Reference numeral 2 denotes a base frame provided at the center of the case body 1, and a ventilation hole 3 is bored in the center to feed cold air. Reference numeral 4 designates a cup receiving portion into which the cup-packed food A is placed, and a water droplet 5 is provided in the center for allowing water droplets to fall. 6 is the case body 1
7 is a side surface and 8 is a bottom surface, and the edge surface 6 and the bottom surface 8 are substantially parallel.

The base frame 2 is set at approximately the same height as the edge surface 6 described above, and the ventilation opening 3 is located at a position lower than the base surface 2a of the base frame 2 and higher than the bottom surface 8.
It is located approximately in the middle. Further, the base frame 2 has four recesses 2b so that the ventilation opening 3 and the cup receiving part 4 communicate with each other.

The bottom surface at an intermediate position where the cup receiving portions 4 are adjacent to each other forms a concave circulation bottom surface 8a. Therefore, when the case bodies 1 are stacked, a passage 11 leading to the outside is formed by the edge surface 6 of the case body 1 and the concave circulation bottom surface 8a stacked thereon, and this passage 11 is connected to the ventilation opening 3 described above. I will contact you. Although FIGS. 1 and 2 show a case body 1 containing four pieces, the effect is the same no matter how many case bodies 1 are included as long as it is an even number.

Next, a method for packaging a cup-packed food according to the present invention will be explained. First, prepare a case body 1 for an assortment set of desired cup-packed foods A,
Each cup of food A is put into a cup receiving part 4 in a case body 1, and the packed and set case bodies 1 are stacked one after another in a cold storage for storage or a cold storage in a transport vehicle. In this way, the products can be kept cool, transported, and opened in stores in a packaged state.

FIG. 2 shows the cold-retaining state of the refrigerated conveyor according to the present invention and its cold-retaining effect, where A shows the cold air state and B shows the falling water droplet state. First, in the cold storage state, the case bodies 1 stacked as shown in Fig.
and the bottom surface 8 of the case body 1 stacked on the edge surface 6 of the case body 1 to form a closed space, and this closed space is communicated with the outside through a ventilation port 3 which is an inlet of cold air and a passage 11 which is an outlet of the cold air. However, like the above-mentioned closed space, this passage 11 is located inside the case body 1.
It is formed by the edge surface 6 of the case body 1 and the circulation bottom surface 8a of the case body 1 stacked thereon. Cold air from a cold storage box (not shown) is blown from each ventilation opening 3 in the direction of the arrow in Figure A, enters the base frame 2, enters each cup holder 4 from each recess 2b, and enters the cup-filled food. Keep A directly cold. Since the cup receivers 4 are connected by the ventilation passages 9, the cool air is evenly distributed within the case body 1. on the other hand,
The cold air from the cold storage also flows from each ventilation port 3 to the passage 11, and the cup-filled food A in each cup receiving part 4 of the case body 1 stacked on top is also indirectly kept cool while exiting to the outside. Therefore, the cold air from the refrigerator efficiently keeps the cup-filled food A cold.

Next, the water droplets 10 that have accumulated inside each case main body 1 during the cold storage are sequentially dropped through the water droplets 5 of each case main body 1, as shown in FIG.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is configured as described above,
Foods in cups such as jelly, yogurt, and water yokan can be packed into sets, packaged, and stacked.Furthermore, cold air can be uniformly sent to all the foods in cups, allowing for efficient cold storage and transportation. Furthermore, it is suitable for long-term cold storage because it can maintain good cold and remove water droplets, and it can be integrally molded with inexpensive materials. It is possible to provide a refrigerated transport device for cup-packed foods that is novel and unique from all aspects such as storage, storage, economy, and practicality.

Although this invention is limited to food in cups, the effect is the same regardless of whether the food is kept cold in bottles, cans, bags, etc.; It goes without saying that even for foods that require heat retention, the heat retention effect is similar to the cold retention effect.
