BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an open showcase for refrigeration or freezing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an open showcase for refrigeration or freezing used in a supermarket, a convenience store, a department store, etc., when a product is supplied from a processing room, a cart for replenishing a product with a mobile product loading tray is used. The finished product is placed using, the cart is horizontally attached to the front of the showcase on the sales floor side, and the product is replenished from the replenishment tray to the display shelf. The replenishment work of this product is often performed just before or during the peak hours of the shopper, and moving the cart at the sales floor and laying it in front of the showcase hinders the shopper's selection of the product. Since various kinds of products are loaded into the cart and intensive replenishment work is performed, the products are not provided to the shopper in real time, and there is also a situation where the product that should have been sold loses the opportunity to sell. .

After the store is closed, the unsold products in the showcase must be collected in the refrigerator in the cold storage upper processing room. This work is also for loading mobile products on the front side of the showcase as in the product replenishment work. It has to be transferred to a cart and transported to a refrigerator, which requires a lot of labor hours and manpower, which increases costs.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a state in which a product replenishment stocker is pulled out, FIG. 3 is a sectional view in a state of moving a lowermost display shelf, and FIG. 4 is an example of a product replenishment stocker. FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a different embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6 to 8 are sectional views of different examples of the opening / closing member of the cold air circulation duct.

The figure shows an example of a flat open showcase, in which 1 is an open showcase main body, which is a suction port 2, a blowout port 3, and a suction port 2, a lower part of the open showcase body 1 and a rear portion to a blowout port 3. The cold air circulation duct 4 is provided. Inside the cool air circulation duct 4, an evaporator 5 and a fan 6 of a refrigerator (not shown) are arranged. 7 is an upper display shelf, 8 is a lowermost display shelf, and the upper display shelf 7 is fixed to the main body 1, but the lowermost display shelf 8 is formed so as to be slidable in the front-back direction of the main body 1 as indicated by an arrow. Has been done. Reference numeral 9 denotes a commodity replenishing stocker provided below the lowermost display shelf 8, which is formed in a drawer shape and can be inserted into the main body 1 through the opening 11 from the rear surface 10 of the main body 1. Stocker 9
The rear part 12 of the container forms a handle and the opening 1 at the time of storage
A sealing portion that hermetically closes 1 is formed, and a gap is formed between the product 1 and the product storage portion 13 so that a ventilation path 14 is formed. A ventilation port 15 is provided on the side wall of the product storage unit 13 facing the duct 4, and a ventilation port 16 is provided on the bottom. This stocker stocker 9 is divided into several parts in the width direction of the main body 1, and when one stocker is pulled out, the cold air circulation duct of that part is closed so that the cool air circulating in other parts does not leak out from it. It has a simple structure.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the refrigerator is driven with the commodity restocking stocker 9 stored in the main body 1, the air sucked from the suction port 2 is cooled by the evaporator 5 through the cool air circulation duct 4. A part of the product enters the stocker stocker 9 through the ventilation passage 14, and the other part of the product 4
And blow it up from the outlet 2 onto the display shelves 7, 8.
Keep the product cool. The cold air that has entered the stocker 9 exits from the ventilation port 16 at the bottom and returns to the duct 4 again,
The products inside are also kept cool.

As shown in FIG. 2, the commodity replenishing stocker 9 is pulled out toward the rear surface 10 side of the main body 1 by grasping the rear portion 12 and pulling out the commodity replenishing stocker 9 on the rear surface side of the main body 1.
The product can be carried in or out of the stocker 9. In this case, the cold air circulation duct in the area of the stocker that has been pulled out is blocked, but the cold air is circulated in the other stocker areas, so that the cold insulation effect of the displayed products is maintained.

In the case of replenishing goods to the display shelf from the goods replenishing stocker or collecting the goods from the display shelf to the stocker, if the lowermost display shelf 8 is moved backward as shown in FIG. Since the front part 17 of the product restocking stocker 9 which has been closed by the lowermost display shelf 8 is opened, it is possible to take out the product from the front part 17 and replenish it to a predetermined position on the display shelf or transfer the product on the display shelf into the stocker. You can The height of the lowermost display shelf 8 with respect to the upper display shelf 7 is preferably selected so that the lowermost display shelf 8 can be moved rearward in the product display state.

Further, the lowermost display rack 8 is pulled rearward and used with the front portion 17 of the product restocking stocker 9 opened, and the products in the product restocking stocker 9 can be sold as a display state, and if necessary, from there. It can also be used to replenish goods to other display shelves.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the lowermost display rack has a structure different from that of FIG. 1, and the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. A front portion 19 of the lowermost display shelf 18 can be rotated by a hinge 20, and the front portion 17 of the commodity replenishment stocker 9 can be opened by lifting in the arrow direction.

FIG. 6 shows an example of an opening / closing member for the cold air circulation duct, and the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals.
21 is a cold air circulation duct 4 behind the product restocker 9
With a damper provided inside, when keeping the display shelf cool, it is in the position of the solid line, and the cool air is stored in the stocker 9 as shown by the solid line arrow.
As it enters inside, it rises in the duct 4 and is blown out from the outlet 3. When only the products in the stocker 9 need to be kept cool, the damper 21 is moved to the position of the broken line, the duct 4 above the stocker 9 is shut off, and all the cool air is circulated into the stocker 9 as shown by the broken line arrow. .

The opening / closing member shown in FIG. 7 is arranged below the lowermost display rack 8 and is formed as a shield plate 22 that can slide back and forth. The duct 4 is open in the solid line position, and when moved to the broken line position, the duct 4 is opened. Is cut off.

The opening / closing member shown in FIG. 8 is a cover 23 disposed on the upper surface of the commodity replenishing stocker 9 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction.
And the duct 4 is open in the solid line position,
When moved to the broken line position, the duct 4 is closed.

Although the flat open showcase has been described in the above embodiment, the present invention can be applied to the multistage and semi-multistage open showcases in the same manner.

[0018]

According to the present invention, by incorporating the product replenishment stocker in the main body of the open showcase, it is possible to pre-replenish the product replenishment stocker on the back of the main body at any time, and the product can be displayed on the display shelf. Replenishment can be done by moving a part of the display shelf when needed without using a transporting machine such as a cart, and collecting unsold items can be done with a product replenishment stocker. In addition, it can be carried out without disturbing the customer, and by closing the opening / closing member of the cold air circulation duct, the duct to the display shelf can be blocked and a cold air circulation path can be formed only for the product restocking stocker. The product restocking stocker can be used as a refrigerator, which improves the cooling performance and saves energy.
