Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] The present invention relates to a showcase in which a product is placed on an exhibition stand and displayed, and more specifically, it is rotatably held and pivoted. The present invention relates to an improved display stand that can be always stopped at a predetermined position.

2. Description of the Related Art If a shelf or a table (hereinafter referred to as a table) on which a product is placed is rotatably held, any product can be taken out from one direction by rotating the shelf. It can be put in and taken out. Therefore, various showcases for rotatably holding a stand have been proposed, and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 49-85662 is one example.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above publication, a showcase in which an upper exhibition room is also rotated by rotating a rotation support plate is presented,
It is configured such that the discharge port and the suction port are not blocked even if the rotation support plate is stopped at any position.
The shelf on which the product is placed is formed separately from the rotation support plate and is arranged above it. Therefore, since the product is not placed on the rotation support plate and the exhibition room itself is designed to rotate, a lid for taking in and out the product is formed on the upper surface of the exhibition room. . Therefore, since the product can be taken in and out only from the top, the rotation of the exhibition room does not have much merit for the product taking in and out. Further, although the rotation support plate can be stopped at any position, it does not have a structure for stopping it in a stable state.

Therefore, it is a technical object of the present invention to provide a showcase provided with an exhibition stand that allows products to be taken out from various directions and can be stopped in a stable state at a predetermined position.

A machine box (not shown) that houses mechanical parts such as a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator, and is formed separately from the display box (10), and air can flow between the display box (10) and the machine box. It is a separate type showcase that consists of a blower pipe (not shown) communicating with the. It is used for freezing, refrigerating, ice temperature, etc. depending on the type of products to be stored and the temperature zone to be controlled. However, in the present embodiment, a refrigerated showcase (hereinafter, unified as a showcase) will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to the separate type showcase, and is intended for a general general showcase.

The display box (10) has a substantially spherical shape, and constitutes a substantially lower half of the base (11) having a substantially circular shape in a top view, and an upper half of the base (11) which also serves as a cooling chamber and serves as a bottom portion. And a product storage section (12) having an exhibition stand (44) for placing a product. The product storage section (12) is surrounded by a see-through member (50) which is formed of a transparent body and has a cubic curved surface, that is, a substantially hemispherical shape, and a transparent resin such as acrylic acid resin is used as the transparent body. Let's call it the hood (50).

The base (11) has a ventilation chamber (13) in the upper stage and a lighting chamber (14) in the lower stage, and both chambers (13) and (14) have a heat insulating material (15A) and a heat insulating property. It is partitioned by a translucent member such as transparent glass (15B). Then, the ventilation chamber (13) supplies cold air as a high-pressure space that introduces air cooled by a mechanical box carried through a blower pipe (referred to as cold air) and guides the cold air to the product storage unit (12). The part (16) and the cold air return part (17) as a low-pressure space that collects the air after cooling the product storage part (12) (this is called return air cool air) and discharges it to the blower pipe are independent. To form a compartment.

Explaining an example of the ventilation chamber (13), the cold air supply unit (16)
Is directed toward the lower surface of the turntable (44) upward through the opening (40) formed in the center of the upper surface by swirling the cool air introduced from the cold air inlet (42) provided on one side to the central portion in sequence. The first standing wall (48A) and the second standing wall (48B) are erected,
On the upper surfaces of the compatible walls (48A) and (48B), an upper plate partially having a rising opening (40) is arranged (in this example, integrally formed with the standing wall). Here, the cold air introduced from the cold air inlet (42) is the second standing wall (48B).
Is directed along the first standing wall (48A), and while sequentially turning, it moves to the center and is guided to the lower surface of the turntable (44) through the rising opening (40).
It is blown out into the product storage section (12) through the blowout port (58) formed in the.

The cold air return section (17) is provided with a turntable (44) described later.
The return air is collected from the suction port (59) formed in the
At 5), it gradually points downward and guides the cold air inward while sequentially turning the cool air on the outer surface of the third standing wall (45B), and the return air cold air outlet (77) which can be installed in parallel with the cold air inlet (42). Out to a blower pipe. In addition, it is desirable that the members forming the cool air supply unit (16) and the cool air return unit (17) are made of a translucent material such as a milky white resin.

On the other hand, the illuminating chamber (14) is an illumination lamp that is a part of the illuminating device, for example, a fluorescent lamp (46) is formed of a translucent resin in the approximate center of the main body (11A) that forms the outer shape of the base (11). It is arranged. As the transparent glass (15B), a double-layered transparent glass in which a plurality of glass sheets (three in this example) are arranged in parallel with a space between each other is used to perform heat insulation by an air layer and to transmit the transparent glass. It has a light property. Then, various electric parts such as a glow lamp and a ballast are arranged in the central space surrounded by the fluorescent lamp (46).

Then, on the turntable (44) located at the bottom of the product storage unit (12), a container (referred to as a beverage container) (53) in which a product to be sold, such as a drug solution or a soft drink, is enclosed, is placed (53), When a large number of beverage containers (53) are placed, it has a product partitioning function that reliably forms a gap between the beverage containers (53), and that the beverage containers (53) are lined up from the outside. To facilitate confirmation, the turntable (44) is configured so that it also functions as a shelf formed by changing the height position of the bottom receiving portion. That is, the turntable (44) has a circular shape in a plan view, and has a spherical shape in a side view (specifically, a curved surface of a part of a sphere) so that the center is highest and the center is gradually lower from the periphery. The lower part is rotatably held by the rotation assisting member (70).

In addition, this turntable (44) is a product that the shape in plan view is desired to be displayed because it is a product partition (this is called a limited product).
A plurality of recesses (54) having a shape (for example, a circle or a rectangle) substantially matching the shape of the bottom of the are arranged in order. In this example, 24 circular recesses (55) are arranged in an annular shape at the outermost circumference, and 18 circular recesses (55) are arranged in the inner circumference thereof, and the inner circular recess (55B) is located at the bottom surface more than the outermost circular recess (55A). Is formed with a step so that it is located at a high position, and further ten square recesses (56) are formed inside. In addition, the bottom of the circular recess (55) is 1.5 to 2.5 mm.
A small protrusion (57) having a certain height is formed in advance. Then, between the rectangular recesses (56) and between the rectangular recesses (56) and the inner circular recesses (55B), the shape and the number of dispositions are made different to form the air outlet (58), A plurality of suction ports (59) are formed on the outer circumference of the outermost circular recess (55A). Further, a handle part that can be used as a POP advertising part for displaying the name and price of the displayed product outside the suction port (59).
