BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a first embodiment of a car according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a freezer that stores a basket according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of the car stored in the freezer. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the car stored in the freezer. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the car. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a car storing the cold storage agent.

First, the freezer 2 which is a cold storage for storing the car 1 will be briefly described. A front surface and an upper surface of the heat insulating box 4 of the freezer 2 are opened, and a door 6 for closing the opening is attached to the front opening so as to be openable and closable. The upper surface opening of the heat insulating box 4 is closed by a mounting table 8, and the mounting table 8 includes a compressor 11 and a condenser 1.
2 and the blower 13 for condensers are mounted. on the other hand,
Below the mounting table 8, a cooler 16 and a cooler blower 17 are suspended.

The inside of the heat insulating box 4 is a storage chamber 21 for storing articles such as the cold storage agent T, and L-shaped rails 22 are vertically arranged in multiple stages on both sides of the storage chamber 21. It is provided. Rail 22 as this guide member
Further, a car 1 described later in detail is placed.

The freezer 2 thus constructed constitutes a refrigeration cycle including the compressor 11, the condenser 12 and the cooler 16 described above. When the refrigeration cycle operates, the cooler 16 is cooled. It becomes low temperature. Further, the cooler blower 17 sucks the air in the storage chamber 21 and blows it to the cooler 16, and the air cooled by the cooler 16 flows below the storage chamber 21. Then, in FIG. 1, the cool air blown by the cooler blower 17 is forcedly circulated as shown by the arrow. In this way, the storage room 2 of the freezer 2
1 is cooled, and the cold storage agent T stored in the car 1 is also cooled.

Next, the structure of the car 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The car 1 includes a placing member 36 on which the cold storage agent T is placed, and a partitioning member 37 disposed above the placing member 36 with a space therebetween.
The partition member 37 includes a frame 38 formed by bending a wire made of metal such as stainless steel into a rectangular shape, and a plurality of horizontal wires that are laterally laid on the upper surface of the frame 38 and fixed by welding or the like. It consists of 39. The horizontal wires 39 made of metal such as stainless steel have a linear shape, and the horizontal wires 39 are arranged substantially parallel to each other.

On the other hand, the mounting member 36 includes a frame 41, a horizontal wire 42 and a vertical wire 43. The frame 41 and the horizontal wire 42 of the mounting member 36 have the same structure as the frame 38 and the horizontal wire 39 of the partition member 37. The vertical wires 43 made of metal such as stainless steel are vertically stretched around the lower surface of the frame 41 and fixed by welding or the like, and the linear vertical wires 43 are arranged substantially parallel to each other. The distance between the wires 43 is narrow at both ends in the lateral direction and wide at the center. The vertical wire 43 is arranged substantially orthogonal to the horizontal wire 42.

A plurality of columns 46 are erected on the frame 41 of the mounting member 36 to support the frame 38 of the partition member 37. The column 46 is fixed to the frame 41 of the mounting member 36 and the frame 38 of the partition member 37 by welding or the like. Further, grips 48 that also function as columns are provided on the two opposing sides of the frame 41 of the mounting member 36. The handle 48 has a U-shape and is fixed to the frame 41 of the mounting member 36 and the frame 38 of the partition member 37.

The side where the handle 48 is provided is the front side or the rear side and is stored in the storage chamber 21.
That is, the horizontal wire 39 is stored in the left-right direction, and the vertical wire 43 is stored in the front-back direction. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the cold storage agent T is stored in the car 1. Although there are various sizes of the cold storage agent T, the thickness t is substantially constant and the height h is high because of the cooling efficiency.
And the width b is different. Therefore, the lateral wires 39, 4
The intervals between the two are substantially evenly arranged, and the size is such that the thickness t of the cold storage agent T fits, that is, the interval is slightly larger than the thickness t. In addition, the space between the vertical wires 43 has a size such that the cold storage agent T is stably placed. That is, the interval is slightly smaller than half the width b of the cold storage agent T. As described above, the distance between the vertical wires 43 is narrow at both ends. With this configuration, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rail 22
The plurality of vertical wires 43 come into contact with each other, and the car 1 is stably placed on the rail 22. And a plurality of vertical wires 4
Since it is in contact with the rail 22 at 3, the load is dispersed. Therefore, as compared with the case where one vertical wire 43 is in contact, a large load is not applied to the one vertical wire 43, and the car 1 is smoothly taken in and out.

As shown in FIG. 5, the cold storage agent T is a basket 1
In the front and rear surfaces of the cool storage agent T, the upper portion is the horizontal wire 39 of the partition member 37 and the lower end portion is the mounting member 3.
It is positioned by six horizontal wires 42. The cold storage agent T cannot stand on its own, but since the cold storage agent T is positioned by the upper and lower horizontal wires 39 and 42, it does not fall down. In addition, the upper and lower horizontal wires 39, 42 secure a space between the cold storage agents T arranged in the front-rear direction, allowing cool air to flow, thereby improving cooling efficiency. By the way, although the cool storage agents T may come into contact with each other in the left-right direction, since the thickness t of the cool storage agents T is small, the contact area between the cool storage agents T is small and the cooling efficiency is not significantly affected.

When manufacturing the car 1, first of all, the horizontal wires 39 and 42 are laid and fixed on one surface of the frames 38 and 41. Then, the partition member 37 is manufactured,
By mounting the vertical wire 43 on this and fixing it, the mounting member 36 can be manufactured. Therefore, the mounting member 3
6 has the same manufacturing process as the partition member 37 up to the middle of manufacturing, and has high productivity.

Next, a second embodiment of the car according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 shows the second embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a car in the form of FIG. In the description of the second embodiment, constituent elements corresponding to the constituent elements of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the second embodiment, the car 54 is provided with the partition members 37 vertically arranged in two steps, and the column 46 and the handle 48 are also increased in height to support the pair of upper and lower partition members 37. ing. By configuring in this way,
The tall cool storage agent T can be stably stored in the car 54. This basket 54 has a partition member 37 of the same structure.
Since only a pair of upper and lower parts are arranged, it can be easily manufactured.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
Within the gist of the present invention described in the claims,
Various changes can be made. Modification examples of the present invention are exemplified below. (1) In the embodiment, the article to be stored in the cars 1 and 54 is the cool storage agent T, but it is also possible to store other articles. Further, although the cars 1 and 54 are stored in the freezer, they can be stored in other storages such as a refrigerator or a showcase. The basket of the present invention is most suitable for storing a cold storage agent and storing it in a freezer.

(2) The wire may be made of metal such as stainless steel or made of other material such as resin. However, in the case of the cool storage agent T, a metal having a good thermal conductivity is optimal in consideration of heat conduction. The cross section of the wire may be circular or polygonal. Further, the horizontal wires 39, 42 and the vertical wires 43 may be changed in a straight line shape or in a wavy and meandering shape.

(3) In the embodiment, the vertical wire 43
Is made of wire, but a member having an appropriate shape can be selected as long as the cold storage agent T can be placed thereon. For example, a metal plate material is also possible. It should be noted that it is better to use wires to prevent the flow of cold air,
The efficiency of cooling the regenerator is improved.

(4) In the embodiment, the frame of the car has a substantially rectangular shape, but which direction is vertical can be appropriately selected. That is, the vertical and horizontal directions can be replaced. (5) In the embodiment, the car is placed directly on the rails of the storage chamber, but it is also possible to place it on the shelves arranged in multiple stages in the storage chamber.

(6) In the embodiment, the partition member 3
The horizontal wire 39 of 7 is fixed to the upper surface of the frame 38,
It is also possible to fix it to the lower surface of the frame 38. In addition, frame 3
Partition member 3 in which a horizontal wire 39 is fixed to the upper surface of 8
When 7 is turned upside down, the horizontal wire 39 is fixed to the lower surface of the frame 38 to form the partition member 37. (7) In the embodiment, the distance between the horizontal wires 39 and 42 is substantially uniform. However, when there are various thicknesses t of the article such as the cold storage agent T, the horizontal wire 39 is corresponding to the thickness t. , 42 can be made different from each other in interval.

[0024]

According to the present invention, the partition member is composed of a frame having substantially the same shape as the frame of the mounting member and a horizontal wire arranged substantially in the same manner as the arrangement of the horizontal wires of the mounting member. Therefore, the partition member is the same as that in the process of manufacturing the mounting member. Therefore, the partition member and the placement member can be manufactured in the same manufacturing process up to the middle, and the productivity is high. Further, the articles stored in the car are inserted from the space between the horizontal wires of the partition member and placed on the vertical member of the placing member. Since the horizontal wires are provided on the upper surface of the frame of the placing member, the article is supported by the upper and lower horizontal wires. Therefore, even if the article cannot stand on its own like a cold storage agent, it is supported up and down like this,
Falling is reduced. As a result, even articles that cannot stand on their own can be efficiently placed in a standing state.
Further, since the upper and lower horizontal wires are interposed between the articles, the articles do not come into contact with each other, and a space through which cold air or the like passes can be reliably ensured.

The vertical member is made of wire,
The vertical wires, which are the vertical members of the mounting member, may be arranged such that the distance between the wires at both ends of the mounting member in the horizontal direction is smaller than the distance at the central portion of the mounting member. . In this way, since the vertical wires are densely arranged at both ends of the car, even when the cars are placed on the pair of left and right guides, the plurality of vertical wires contact the guides,
The basket is stably placed on the guide. Therefore, the car can be smoothly taken in and out. On the other hand, since the vertical wires at the center of the car are sparsely provided, the flow of air such as cold air is less likely to be obstructed. As a result, cooling efficiency and the like are improved. Moreover, since the number of vertical wires can be reduced, the material cost and the manufacturing man-hour can be reduced.
