[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a door device suitable for an ice making machine, a refrigerator, a storage, and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a conventional small ice making machine, as shown schematically in FIG. 4, the inside of the main body 1 is divided into an upper ice making mechanism part 2, a central ice storage 3 and a lower machine room 4, and the ice making machine structure part is formed. The drainage tray 5 in 2 is fixed to the front frame 7 of the main body 1 by the screws 6, and the upper front cover 9 is hooked on the screw collars 8 attached to the left and right of the front surface of the main body 1, respectively. An ice cover 9 covers the front of the ice making mechanism 2, and a lower front cover 10 covers the front of the machine room 4. On the other hand, the hinges 13 fixed to the left and right of the front surface of the main body 1 by the bolts 12 with the spacer 11 interposed therebetween and the hinges 15 fixed to the left and right ends of the lower end of the swing door 14 are supported by a lateral support shaft (not shown). The pivoting door 14 covers the front of the ice storage 3 by the biasing force of the latch 16 and the spring 17 which are pivotally supported and locked to the hinge 15. Reference numeral 18 is a top plate of the main body 1, 19 is an opening / closing handle attached to the upper end of the rotating door 14, and 20 is a slope for taking out ice which is pivotally supported by the main body 1 at the left and right lower ends and interlocks with the opening and closing of the rotating door 14. .

That is, in the above ice making machine, by pulling the handle 19 toward the front against the biasing force of the spring 17, the swing door 14 is rotated forward around the lower end horizontal axis to be opened. Many restaurants that use machines have a small work area such as a kitchen so that the inside of the shop can be used as wide as possible. Therefore, opening the rotating door 14 on the work aisle side interferes with traffic. It often occurs, and when installing the ice maker, it is necessary to consider that opening the rotating door 14 does not hinder the surrounding equipment and facilities, so it is difficult to select the location of the ice maker. There was something to do. Further, when installing the ice making machine, a skilled worker is required for opening and closing adjustment of the swing door 14 by the spring 17, and it is unavoidable that the installation work requires a relatively long time. Although there have been some ice machines with doors that slide laterally, this ice machine has a machine room on the left side and an ice storage box on the right side for design reasons. The width of the product became larger, making it difficult to install it in a small kitchen.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention does not narrow the front space of the storage cabinet or the like when the door of the storage cabinet or the like is opened in the storage cabinet or the like in which the machine room is arranged below, and also laterally slides the conventional front rotary door. It is intended to provide a door device that can be easily modified into a door.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, the door device for a storage or the like according to the present invention, in a storage or the like in which the machine room is arranged below, a wall portion detachably fixed to the front surface of the storage or the like, and an opening formed in the same. And a door that slides laterally with respect to the opening to open and close the opening.

[0006]

[Action]

 Therefore, by sliding the door laterally with respect to the opening, the front surface of the storage, etc. is opened and closed, and at this time the door never projects to the front of the storage, etc., so that the front space of the storage, etc. can always be used freely. Along with this, the door is attached to the opening of the wall part and unitized with the wall part, so that the wall part is pre-assembled and the wall part is attached to the front of a new storage room where the machine room is located below. In addition to being able to fix and ship the fixed doors, by incorporating a unitized wall part in the front of the existing rotating door type storages where the machine room is located below, the rotating doors of storages etc. It becomes easy to change the to a sliding door.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described by giving the same reference numerals to the same parts as those of the conventional device. 1 to 3, the front of the upper ice making mechanism 2 and the central ice storage 3 of the ice making machine main body 1 is covered with a wall portion 21, and the front of the lower machine room is covered with a lower front cover 10 to form a wall. The portion 21 is constructed by filling a heat insulating foamed resin 24 between a front panel 22 made of a stainless steel plate and a rear panel 23 made of a resin, and a horizontally long rectangular opening 25 is formed in substantially the center thereof.

Resin-molded rails 26 are fixed to the upper and lower sides of the opening 25 with screws (not shown), and resin-molded rails 27 are fixed to the left and right of the opening 25 with screws (not shown). Two transparent or colored doors 28, 28 made of resin are fitted in the rails 26, 27 so as to overlap with each other in the front-rear direction, and when the doors 28, 28 are slid along the rail 26 in the lateral direction, the opening 25 is formed. Are to be closed or opened. Reference numeral 29 is a handle formed on the slide door 28. Hooks 31 are attached to the left and right upper portions of the wall portion 21 by caulking pins 30, respectively. When the hook 31 is hooked on the screw collar 8 on the front surface of the main body 1, the left and right lower ends of the wall portion 21 are respectively attached by bolts 32. A drain tray 36 of the ice making mechanism 2 is fixed by a screw 35 to a bracket 34 fixed to the front surface of the main body 1 and attached to the back side of the wall 21 with a screw 33.

As described above, since the lateral slide doors 28, 28 are fitted into the opening 25 of the wall portion 21 and are unitized, the wall portion 21 as a whole has a relatively small number of parts. The structure is simple, and the work of assembling and adjusting the wall portion 21 on the front surface of the main body 1 is easy, and the cost can be easily reduced. Moreover, the maintenance work of the ice making mechanism unit 2 is a unit. Since it is possible to remove only the wall portion 21 which has been made into a single piece, it is possible to improve the working efficiency thereof as compared with the conventional apparatus. Further, the doors 28, 28 are configured to slide laterally in the opening 25 of the wall portion 21 to open and close the opening 25, and the doors 28, 28 never project to the front surface of the ice making machine. Even if this ice maker is installed in a small kitchen, the working space inside the kitchen can always be used effectively, which is very convenient.

Further, since the machine room is arranged below the ice storage 3, the width of the ice making machine body 1 can be made relatively small, which is convenient for installation in a narrow kitchen or the like, while the center is provided. When the ice is taken out from the ice storage 3 through the slide doors 28, 28, it is easy to reach the back of the ice storage 3, so that the ice can be taken out very easily, and the productability as an ice making machine can be improved. it can.

Furthermore, since the slide doors 28, 28 are fitted into the opening 25 and the wall portion 21 is unitized, the conventional ice making machine having the machine room arranged at the lower side and having the front swinging door is provided. By replacing the wall portion 21 with a machine or the like, the ice making machine or the like can be easily modified into a sliding door type as required. That is, in the conventional device shown in FIG. 4, the latch 16 and the spring 17 are first removed from the hinge 15 and then removed, and then the bolt 12 is removed to separate the spacer 11 and the hinge 13 from the front surface of the main body 1 to remove the swing door 14 from the main body. 1, the slope 20 is removed from the main body 1, the upper front cover 9 and the screw color 8 are disengaged to remove the upper front cover 9, and the slide doors 28 and 28 are attached later. If the front frame 7 interferes with the removal of the ice, the screws 6 fixing the drain tray 5 are removed, and then the front frame 7 is removed from the main body 1.

After that, the hook 31 of the unitized wall portion 21 is hooked on the screw collar 8 on the front surface of the main body 1, and the lower front cover 10 is opened to use the bolt 12 as the bolt 32 to lower the left and right lower ends of the wall portion 21. Is fixed to the front surface of the main body 1, and when the front frame 7 is removed from the main body 1 as described above, the slide door 28 is opened, a hand is inserted from the front, and the screw 6 is used as the screw 35 so that the drainage tray 5 is attached to the wall. If it is fixed to the bracket 34 on the rear side of the portion 21, the swing doors up to that point can be replaced by the slide doors 28, 28, and thus this modified ice making machine can achieve the same effects as the above.

The sliding door type ice maker shown in FIG. 1 can be easily changed to a swinging door type ice maker by performing a reverse procedure to the above, if necessary. It goes without saying that the above-mentioned wall portion in which the door is unitized can be applied to a refrigerator, a showcase, a storage room, or the like. If the opening formed in the front wall of a storage room may be relatively small, the opening should be offset to either the left or right of the front wall, and a single sliding door that closes the opening should be used. It is also possible to further improve the heat insulation effect of the storage and the like.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 In the door device of the storage etc. according to the present invention, the door for opening and closing the front wall opening of the storage etc. is a slide type in the lateral direction, and the door never projects to the front of the storage etc. Even if the storage is installed in a narrow space, opening and closing the door does not narrow the front space of the storage, which is very convenient. Therefore, the installation space of the storage is also restricted. The slide door is attached to the opening of the wall to form a unit with the wall, so this preassembled wall is fixed to the front of the storage room where the machine room is located below. Not only can it be shipped as a product, but by incorporating the above-mentioned wall part in the front of an existing swivel door type storage, it is possible to easily change the swinging door type storage to a sliding door type. The above effect is very Heard.
