Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a supermarket,
The present invention relates to a reach-in type showcase that is installed in a store such as a convenience store and displays cold and hot products for sale.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a frozen or refrigerated showcase for handling cold products, a closed-type reach-in type showcase having a glass transparent door on the front surface of a main body case is widely used. Also, in order to replenish the reach-in type showcases directly from the store's backyard (working place where products are processed and stored) without having to go to the front sales floor, a slide-type back is provided on the back side of the showcase. A structure with a door is also implemented.

On the other hand, as a special reach-in type showcase, a hot room with a cold room and a hot room
A reach-in type showcase for AND and cold is known, for example, from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-111086. This hot-and-cold showcase defines a hot room with a hot air generator and a dedicated front door by partitioning the cold room from a part of the inside of the cold room. A damper for introducing cold air and switching the cutoff is provided between them, and the hot room use mode is switched to hot or cold as needed.

In addition to the reach-in type showcase made exclusively for freezing and refrigerating, a hot room can be easily added as an option at the installation destination of the showcase without requiring a major modification of the case. As an example of the present invention, a hot box having a heater and a fan built into an independent heat insulating housing is installed in the cold room of the showcase so that it can be used as a hot and cold showcase. It is proposed by the same applicant as Japanese Patent Application No. 3-145032.

[0005]

By the way, in the structure of the conventional hot and cold showcase described above, when it is applied to the reach-in type showcase with the back door described above, the hot room or the hot box is It is not possible to directly supply hot products from the in-store backyard behind the showcase, and the inconvenience of carrying the products around the in-store sales floor to the front of the showcase remains.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to directly supply hot products from the back side of a showcase to a hot box formed in a reach-in type showcase with a back door. To provide a reach-in type showcase for hot and cold.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a reach-in type showcase with a back door, which occupies a part of the cold chamber and incorporates a heater and a fan in a heat insulating casing. It is assumed that the hot box formed by the above is mounted and a heat insulating door is provided on the back surface of the hot box.

As an embodiment of the above construction, the heat-insulating casing of the hot box is formed into a front open type, and a sealing gasket for closing the front opening by contacting the transparent door of the showcase is provided at the front edge thereof. There is also a configuration provided with the above, and a configuration in which the heat insulating door of the hot box is a downward-opening type door, and the door is provided with a holding means for supporting the door plate in a horizontal posture at the door open position.

[0009]

With the above structure, the front opening of the hot box installed in the cold room of the showcase is closed by the front transparent door of the showcase which is common to the cold room. Therefore, there is no risk that the cold air in the cold room and the warm air in the hot box will mix when the transparent door is closed, and when the product is taken out, the hot and cold products can be taken out simply by opening the front transparent door. be able to. The hot box can be replenished with goods directly from the backyard of the store through the back door of the showcase and the heat insulating door provided on the back of the hot box. In this case, by adopting a structure in which the heat-insulating door of the hot box is a downward-opening door and the door plate is supported in a horizontal position at the door open position, the carton box containing the product is placed on the door plate. It is convenient because you can proceed with the product replenishment work while it is still on.

Also, the above-mentioned hot box is prepared as an optional item, and if necessary, it is incorporated into a freezing or refrigerating showcase installed in the store so that the showcase can be easily used as a hot and cold showcase. be able to. When hot products are not handled, the space occupied by the hot box becomes a cold room by removing the hot box from the inside.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, FIGS. 1 and 2 show the configuration of the entire showcase. In the figure, 1 is a main body case of a showcase, 2 is a double-door double-sided glass transparent door provided on the front side of the main body case 1, 3 is a sliding back door provided on the back side of the main body case 1, and 4 is a cabinet. Product display shelves installed vertically in the cold room 5 inside, 6 is an evaporator of a refrigerator installed in a cold air circulation duct surrounding the cold room 5, 7 is a ventilation fan, and 8 is a hot box additionally equipped by the present invention. Is.

The hot box 8 shown in FIG.
As shown in the detailed structure in FIG. 1, a box-shaped heat-insulating housing 9 whose front and rear surfaces are opened is provided with a heater 10 and a fan 1 on the ceiling side thereof.
1. A seal gasket 1 which has a built-in lighting lamp 12, a product display shelf 13, and the like, and which closes the front opening by abutting the glass surface of the transparent door 2 of the showcase on the periphery of the front opening.
4 and a heat insulating door 15 that closes the opening on the back side. The hot box 8 is mounted on the product display shelf 4 mounted in the cold room 5 and incorporated in the showcase, and is used by wiring between it and a power supply terminal on the showcase side. Further, the heat insulating door 15 of the hot box 8 described above may be a lateral opening type door as shown in FIG. 4 or a downward opening type door as shown in FIG.

Next, for the showcase having the above structure,
The backloading work procedure for replenishing the hot box 8 from behind the showcase will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 6 shows a case of a hot box that employs the side-opening type heat insulation door 15 shown in FIG. 4, and the back door 3 of the showcase is opened at the time of replenishment of hot products, and then the heat insulation door 15 of the hot box 8 Open and insert the product in the box. On the other hand, FIG. 7 shows a case of a hot box including the lower opening type heat insulation door 15 shown in FIG.
A foldable support arm 16 that supports the door plate in a horizontal position at the door open position is provided between the heat insulating casing 9 and the heat insulating casing 9. Then, when the hot box 8 is replenished with the product, the back door 3 of the showcase is opened as in FIG. 6, and the heat insulating door 15 of the hot box 8 is opened downward to insert the product into the box. In this case, since the door plate of the opened heat-insulating door 15 is held in a horizontal position via the support arm 16, the carton box 18 containing the product (for example, canned beverage) 17 is held.
Is convenient because the product replenishment work can be carried out while being mounted on the door plate of the heat insulating door 15 as shown in the figure.
