Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a glow starter mounting structure for a reach-in showcase having a glow start type fluorescent lamp.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 shows a reach-in showcase having a conventional glow start fluorescent lamp. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 denote an outer box made of a heat-insulating wall and an inner box made of sheet metal, each of which forms a main body case and whose front faces are open. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cold air circulation duct formed between the outer box 1 and the inner box 2 with an appropriate interval, 4 and 5 coolers and blowers housed in the cold air circulation duct 3, and 6 an outer box 1 Glass doors that cover the front opening of the product, 7 are fluorescent lamps that are vertically installed in the left and right corners of the outer box 1, and 8 is a product display shelf that is vertically stacked in the interior 9 of the inner box 2. Is. The cool air circulation duct 3 is formed with a cool air outlet 10 at an upper opening end and a cool air suction port 11 at a lower opening end. By operating the cooler 4 and the blower 5, cool air flows as indicated by an arrow A, Cold air suction port 1 from outlet 10
A cool air curtain is blown out along the inner side of the glass door 6 toward 1. Reference numeral 12 is an upper decorative plate that covers the hinge portion of the glass door 6, and 14 and 15 are glow starters and stabilizers for the fluorescent lamp 7.

In this way, the glow starter 14 for lighting the fluorescent lamp 7
The conventional mounting method is to mount on the upper surface of the ceiling wall of the outer box 1.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

By the way, since the glow starter 14 is an electric component,
Although it is necessary to replace the glow starter 14 due to a certain failure, the glow starter 14 is mounted at a high position in a recessed position, making it difficult to reach and difficult to replace.

Further, recently, due to the design of the entire store, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, many stores have adopted a structure in which the decorative wall 13 is provided between the store ceiling and the reach-in showcase ceiling, and the glow starter is replaced. The problem of difficulty is becoming more and more serious.

The purpose of this invention is to design the entire reach-in showcase by not installing the glow starter in the outer box ceiling but by installing the circulating cold air in the cabinet in the outlet that blows from the upper front to create the air curtain. An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting device that facilitates replacement of the glow starter without damaging the glow starter.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

This invention is equipped with a glass door at the front opening of the outer case of the main body case, and cool air is blown from a cool air circulation duct formed inside the outer case to form an air curtain along the inner side of the glass door. A reach-in showcase that cools the inside of a refrigerator and has a glow start type fluorescent lamp for lighting the inside of the refrigerator, in which a glow starter for lighting a fluorescent lamp is installed in the cold air outlet of the cold air circulation duct. .

[Action]

By attaching the glow starter to the cool air outlet for the air curtain without changing the design of the reach-in showcase body, the glow starter can be easily replaced by opening the front glass door.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which parts corresponding to those in FIG. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals. Note that FIG. 1 shows P in FIG.
It is an enlarged view of a portion corresponding to the portion. As shown in the figure, a part of the reach-in showcase in the cool air outlet 10 in the longitudinal direction (left and right when viewed from the front), here, a part facing above the fluorescent lamp socket 7a of the fluorescent lamp 7,
Glow starter 14 and glow starter socket 14a
The glow starter 14 and the glow starter socket 14a are attached to the space, so that the glow starter can be easily replaced without changing the design of the case body.

[Effect of device]

According to the present invention, the glow starter and the glow starter socket are mounted in a mountable space in the cool air outlet of the reach-in showcase, so that (1) the glow starter can be mounted and replaced by the conventional case body ceiling ( It becomes much easier than when it is in the outer box).

(2) Without changing the design of the reach-in showcase, without obstructing the view of goods displayed in the warehouse,
There is also an advantage that it is not very noticeable even if you open the door.
