Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of a refrigeration showcase in which a front and rear opening/closing sliding door is provided at the opening on the top surface of the case body.

In general, this type of refrigeration showcase has an inner box inside the case that also serves as a cooler, so moisture from the outside air that enters through the gap between the case and the sliding door can cause frost to build up on the inside of the inner box, especially at the top. There is a problem in that this adheres as a substance, and this has a negative effect on cooling performance.

Conventionally, the frost on the inner surface of the inner box has been removed by the user by scraping it off with an appropriate tool, but this work is troublesome and also poses a hygiene problem.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a top-opening type refrigerating showcase in which when the sliding door is opened and closed, the frost on the inner surface of the main body is automatically scraped off, thereby preventing a decline in cooling performance.

That is, the present invention is based on providing a spatula on the lower surface of the front-rear opening/closing type sliding door adjacent to and facing the upper inner surface of the inner box.

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the top opening/closing type freezing/refrigerating showcase shown in Fig. 1, a case body 1 has a transparent glass window 2 fitted and fixed in the upper part of the front surface, and a lighting part 3 is provided at the rear part of the top surface. .

An opening 4 is formed in the front part of the upper surface of the case body 1, and two sliding doors 5 are provided in the opening 4 side by side in the left-right direction.

Each of the sliding doors 5 has a transparent glass plate 6.

In this way, even when the sliding door 5 is closed, the inside of the case body 1 can be seen through the glass window 2 and the glass plate 6.

When one or both of the sliding doors 5 is pushed open rearward, the opening 4 formed at the front of the upper surface of the case body 1 is exposed, so that articles can be taken in and out of the case body 1 through the opening 4. Become.

When opened, most of the sliding door 5 is inserted below the lighting section 3.

Further, the operation of opening the sliding door 5 can be easily performed by pushing the operating section 7 provided on the front of the upper surface of the husband's sliding door 5.

It goes without saying that the case body 1 incorporates various mechanisms such as a cooling device for cooling the inside of the case.

Furthermore, rails 8 are provided at the left and right ends of the opening 4, respectively, integrally with a portion of the left and right side walls.

These rails 8 may be added to the left and right side walls of the case body 1.

Further, an intermediate rail member 9 is located between the opening 4 in the left and right direction.
is provided.

As is clear from FIG. 2, this intermediate rail member 9 is
Rails 12 are provided on both sides of the central separation projection 11, respectively.

A sliding door 5 is disposed as a bridge between each rail 8 at the left and right ends and each rail 12 of the intermediate rail member 9.

The sliding door 5 incorporated into the case body 1 can be smoothly opened and closed by wheels 13 provided on both sides thereof rolling on the rails 8 and 12.

Furthermore, the frame 14 of the sliding door 5 is made of hard plastic.

Curtains 15 made of soft plastic that contact the rails 8 and 12 on the outside of the wheels 13 are integrally provided on the left and right side portions of the sliding door 5 in the frame 14, respectively.

This curtain 15 is provided over the entire front and back width of the sliding door 5, and blocks the gap between the side part of the case body 1 and the sliding door 5,
This prevents the leakage of cold air and the intrusion of outside air and dust.

A hard plastic spatula 16 is further integrally provided on the frame 13 of the sliding door 5 at a portion corresponding to the rails 8 provided at the left and right ends of the opening 4, that is, only at one end of the sliding door 5. .

As is clear from FIG. 3, this spatula 16 protrudes downward from the vicinity of the front end of the sliding door 5, and as is clear from FIG. , serves to scrape off frost adhering to the inner surface of the inner box 17 when the sliding door 5 is opened and closed.

That is, even if moisture in the outside air that enters through the gap between the case body 1 and the sliding door 5 adheres to the inner surface of the inner box 17 as frost, the frost is scraped off by the spatula 16 when the sliding door 5 is opened and closed.

Therefore, the reduction in cooling capacity due to frost formation can be suppressed to a minimum.
