Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cart-in type refrigerated showcase system for display, which enables quick and easy display and replenishment of products such as refrigerated foods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in food stores, customers and shop assistants can easily put the refrigerated foods in and out of the display of refrigerated foods or frozen foods, which are products, and the cold air flows out from the front opening. To prevent this, a refrigerated showcase is used in which the front opening is shielded by an air curtain.

However, in the conventional display and replenishment of food in a refrigerated showcase, the food is placed on a transport cart in a refrigerating warehouse arranged separately, and the transport cart is passed through an aisle in the store to display a refrigerated show. Stop at the front of the case (customer side) and either display and replenish the food on the display shelves in the refrigerated showcase, or place the food directly on the display cart in the refrigerated warehouse and place this display cart in the store. Through the street, they were directly displayed in the refrigerated showcase from the front of the refrigerated showcase.

[0004]

Therefore, while the cart is moving or when the food is being replenished, it interferes with the customer's shopping and gives the customer an unpleasant feeling. Further, the food is exposed to the room temperature and the freshness is deteriorated. There was a problem that the handling method of was restricted.

In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention displays and replenishes food in a refrigerating warehouse in a refrigerating warehouse so that the refrigerating showcase can be directly displayed in the refrigerating warehouse. Provide a refrigerated showcase structure that can move the display cart, save labor of replenishment, improve freshness management, and prevent movement of the display cart that hinders customers' shopping. Is intended.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the refrigerating showcase structure of the present invention is provided with an opening in a partition wall between a commodity display room and a refrigerating warehouse which are continuously provided to each other. In front of the partition wall, there is provided a refrigerating showcase that communicates with the refrigerating warehouse through the opening, has a floor surface that is flush with the floor surface of the refrigerating warehouse, and has an air curtain formed at the front opening. It is characterized by that.

[0007]

[Function] Since the floor surface of the refrigerating warehouse and the floor surface of the refrigerating showcase are continuous with each other, the food stored in the cart or the like in the refrigerating warehouse is refrigerated with the cart without passing through the passage in the store. It can be moved inside and displayed, and labor can be saved when displaying and supplementing food. Further, the cold air in the refrigerated warehouse is blocked by the air curtain of the refrigerated showcase and does not flow out into the product display room.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a partition (3) between a commodity display room (1) and a refrigerating warehouse (2), which are continuously provided, has a rectangular opening ( 4) is provided, and in front of the partition wall (3) in the merchandise display room (1), the opening (4) communicates with the refrigerating warehouse (2) and the floor surface (5a) is in the refrigerating warehouse.
A refrigerated showcase (5) is provided which is flush with the floor surface (2a) of (2) and has an air curtain (A) formed in the front opening (5b).

An evaporator (6) for a refrigerator is installed in the upper part of the refrigerating showcase (5), and rearward or rearward lower cool air is blown forward toward the evaporator (6). A first fan (7) is installed, and a cool air outlet (8) is provided at the front and faces downward at the upper end of the front opening (5b) (left side in FIG. 1) of the refrigerated showcase (5). Has been.

At the lower front end of the refrigerated showcase (5),
A wind deflector (9) is installed, a cold air suction port (10) facing upward is provided at the upper end of the device, and a second fan (for blowing the cool air sucked in through the suction port (10) rearward is provided inside ( 11) is provided. The second fan (11) may be omitted if necessary, and the wind deflector (9) may be a simple wind deflector having an L-shaped cross section.

The inside of the refrigerated showcase (5) is cooled by the evaporator (6), and the front opening (5b) is also cooled by the evaporator (6), and both fans (7) and (11) move the arrows. The air curtain (A) that circulates in the direction blocks the flow of air in the horizontal direction and is insulated from other areas in the product display room (1).

Reference numeral (12) is a cart for displaying products, and reference numeral (13) is a lamp for lighting. According to this embodiment, in the refrigerated warehouse (2), products such as refrigerated food or frozen food are put in the cart (12).

It is possible to move directly to the refrigerated showcase (5) through the opening (4) without passing through the passage inside, and display it as it is.

The customer is the front opening of the refrigerated showcase (5).
From (5b), cart the product (12) through the air curtain (A).
Can be taken out more. If the cart (12) runs out of items, pass the cart (12) through the opening (4) to the refrigerated warehouse.
Move to (2), add new products there, and return to the refrigerated showcase (5) again.

The cool air in the refrigerated warehouse (2) and the cool air in the refrigerated showcase (5) are shut off by the air curtain (A),
It does not flow into the product display room (1).

If necessary, a blind curtain or a heat insulating curtain may be suspended in the opening (4) so as to be openable and closable.

[0016]

According to the refrigerating showcase system of the present invention, the cart for displaying goods is not passed through the aisle in the store, but is passed through the opening provided in the partition wall between the goods display room and the refrigerating warehouse. Since it can be moved directly to the refrigerated showcase and displayed as it is, it may interfere with the shopping of the customer, cause discomfort to the customer, or the food touches the warmth of the shop and the freshness is deteriorated. Absent.

Moreover, the trouble of transshipment of the products to the display shelf is saved and the labor is saved, and since it is not necessary to pass the aisles to carry the products, restrictions on the size, shape and variety of the food to be displayed are remarkably alleviated. .
