Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a wagon for a defrosting container in which food to be thawed is put.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The thawing / cooling device is roughly composed of a refrigerator, a thawing / cooling chamber, and a circulation duct connecting them, as described in JP-A-61-252270. The thawing / cooling room can accommodate a cart or wagon containing frozen food. Therefore, when the air is conditioned by the refrigerator and the conditioned air is circulated between the refrigerator and the thawing / cooling chamber, the frozen food is thawed and kept cold. The wagon that can be placed in the thawing / cooling room as described above is generally formed into a box shape from a pipe-shaped member, and the ceiling and the outer peripheral portion are covered with panels, leaving a part of the outer periphery. Further, a plurality of shelf receiving brackets are provided at predetermined intervals in the height direction so that a tray containing frozen food to be thawed / cooled can be placed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The conventional wagon as described above is also surrounded by panels and the top surface is also surrounded by a top plate, so even if the condensed water that has condensed on the ceiling of the thawing / cooling room drops, The frozen food inside is protected by a top plate. However, when the amount of condensed water that drops falls, it collects on the top surface of the top plate, eventually reaches the inside around the edge of the top plate, and then drops on the frozen food. And it physically contaminates frozen foods. In general, the ceiling surface of the thawing chamber or thawing / cooling room is difficult to clean and bacteria are proliferating.Therefore, it is highly likely that the dew condensation water also contains bacteria. Is biologically contaminated and causes hygiene problems. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wagon for a defroster, which can store frozen food in a hygienic manner without being contaminated by water drops.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a top plate is detachably attached to an upper part of a wagon in which frozen foods to be thawed are put, and a flat surface of the top plate is wider than a flat surface of the wagon, and a periphery of a tip portion is provided. Is equipped with a drainer.

[0005]

[Action]

 As with conventional wagons, put frozen food to thaw inside. Then put the wagon in the freezer or in the thaw / cold room to thaw it, or keep it in the thawed state. At this time, if water drops fall on the top plate, the water drops will fall on the floor, for example, from the draining portion around the tip of the top plate, and will not fall on the frozen food. If the usage period is extended, the top plate will become dirty, so remove it for cleaning or replace it.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIG. 1, the wagon 1 according to the present embodiment has an outer shape substantially similar to that of the conventional wagon. That is, a plurality of supporting members 4 bent from a pipe-shaped member so as to have the column portion 2 and the beam portion 3 and a plurality of pipe-shaped members to which the lower end portion of the support member 4 is fixed. A space for housing the frozen food R is formed inside from the base material 5. Then, shelf supports 7, 7 for supporting the trays 6, 6 are attached to the supporting column 2 of the support member 4 by welding or the like over a plurality of stages. The base material 5 is provided with casters 8, 8 so that the wagon 1 can be moved on the floor surface. In addition, pipes 20, 20 for holding a top plate 10 described later are fixed between the beam portions 3, 3 of the support member 4.

The top plate 10 which is detachably provided on the upper portion of the wagon 1 is wider than the plane area of the wagon 1 and extends to the outer side of the support column 2, that is, the main body. The surrounding eaves portion 11 is bent downward. Therefore, the top plate 10 has a roof shape or an inverted tray shape. Latch metal fittings 13 and 13 are fixed to the lower surface 12 of the top plate 10 at predetermined intervals, as shown in FIG. The latch fittings 13 and 13 include a spring portion 14 attached to the lower surface 12 of the top plate 10, a pipe holding portion 15 having a substantially circular cross section, and a guide portion 16 extending outward from the pipe holding portion 15. 16 and.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1A, the top plate 10 is attached to the pipes 20, 20 of the wagon 1. At this time, when the latch metal fittings 13 and 13 are pressed against the pipes 20 and 20, the guide portions 16 and 16 of the latch metal fittings 13 and 13 expand, the pipes 20 and 20 enter the pipe holding portion 15, and the top plate 10 is attached. To be Frozen food R is put in the trays 6 and 6, placed on the shelf supports 7 and 7 of the wagon 1, and put in a thawing chamber or a thawing / cooling chamber to thaw. At this time, for example, even if water drops M drop from the ceiling of the thawing chamber and collect on the top plate 10, as shown in (b), they are guided to the outside of the wagon 1 by the eaves portion 11 of the top plate 10. . Therefore, water drops will not drop on the frozen food R that is being thawed or kept cold. When the top plate 10 is pulled upward with respect to the wagon 1, the pipe holding portions 15 of the latch fittings 13 and 13 expand and come out of the pipes 20 and 20. That is, the top plate 10 is removed. In this way, the top plate 10 is replaced, washed, and the like.

The present invention can be implemented in various forms. For example, it is not always necessary to provide the eaves portion 11 on the outer peripheral portion of the top plate 10. A drainer may be used instead of the eaves portion 11. As the drainer, a convex shape may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the top plate 10, and the convex shape may be used as a drainer for guiding water downward. Since the top plate 10 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the wagon 1 main body, a plurality of top plates 10 are prepared, and these top plates 10 are colored to suit the kind of frozen food to be stored. It is also possible to attach a color top plate 10 and discriminate the food inside by the color of the top plate 10. Further, the latch fittings 13 and 13 may be attached to the main body of the wagon 1 and the pipes 20 and 20 may be attached to the top plate 10. Further, without providing the dedicated pipes 20, 20, the metal fittings 13, 13 can be attached to the beam portions 3, 3 of the support member 4 so that they can be attached and detached. Further, a band type clamp or the like can be used instead of the latch metal fittings 13, 13.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the top plate provided on the upper part of the wagon is wider than the wagon and the water draining part is provided around the tip, so that the water droplets falling on the top plate are located around the tip. It is drained to the outside from the drainage section and does not drip inside the wagon. Therefore, the effect peculiar to the present invention is obtained in which the frozen food contained in the wagon is not contaminated with water drops. In addition, the top plate is detachably attached to the wagon, so it can be removed and washed with water to keep it clean. Furthermore, it can be easily replaced when necessary.
