By the way, in recent years, shipments of flat showcases have increased due to the tendency of stores using refrigerated / frozen showcases to become larger. Above all, the two-sided flat (island type) showcase is Nakajima, which is used side by side, and can be used flat (market-wise), so it is especially popular for keeping fresh food and frozen food cool.

[0005] On the other hand, the tendency of stores to become larger is on Saturday, Sunday and Sunday.
It creates a big difference in attracting customers on holidays and weekdays, and on Saturdays, Sundays,
Continuing to display a large volume of products on a double-sided flat showcase on a public holiday on weekdays will cause a large amount of product loss, and there has been a demand for a changeover (merchandising improvement) on the weekday showcase.

In order to improve this type of merchandising, it is effective to remove and raise the shelves and floorboards.
It was not applied to a two-sided flat showcase. This is because, in a two-sided flat showcase with a central outlet, for example, if a shelf is provided on one side and a shelf is not provided on the other side, the amount of circulating air varies between left and right, so that the amount of air blown out cannot be well balanced.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has been made to improve the merchandising of merchandise display on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and weekdays, as well as to make it possible to balance the blowing air volume. It is an object of the present invention to provide a double-sided flat type showcase that enables a change in displayed products depending on the configuration without affecting the cooling performance.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a box-like shape having an open top is provided, and a substantially central portion thereof is divided by left and right partition walls to form a pair of product display portions. In a double-sided flat showcase forming a cool air curtain covering the product display portion from the outlet of the partition wall toward the suction port on both sides, a back plate below the outlet of the left and right partition walls In addition, a shelf slot for supporting a shelf board and a floor board is provided, and a partition plate for partitioning the inside of the duct into right and left is provided in a duct inside the outlet.

As described above, the shelf slot is provided on the back plate of the two-sided flat type showcase, and the duct inside the air outlet is divided into right and left by the partition plate. Even if you lower it and attach it to the desired position,
It is possible to balance the amount of air blown from the outlet to the left and right, and to function as independent showcases regardless of the presence or absence of a shelf. Therefore, merchandising can be easily improved in response to changes in the number of customers on holidays and weekdays by attaching and detaching and raising and lowering the shelf board and the floor board, and disadvantages such as product loss can be prevented.

[0010] It is preferable that the lower end of the partition plate is inclined in the upstream direction of the cool air, because even if dew condensation flows as water droplets during defrosting, it can fall down from the inclined surface. Further, when the partition plate is formed of an insulated panel body,
For example, even if the left and right temperature zones are made different, it is preferable because dew condensation or icing itself hardly occurs.

According to the present invention, it is possible to balance the left and right blow-off air volumes of the central blow-out in this manner, and to carry out merchandising according to the change in the number of customers on holidays and weekdays by attaching / detaching / raising / lowering the shelf board and the floor board. Can be easily improved.
