Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an opening cooling device for an open case for displaying mainly refrigerated and frozen foods, which covers the opening and prevents the dissipation of cold air.

Conventionally, the above-mentioned open-type show cases have been widely used in department stores, supermarkets, and general stores, mainly for displaying refrigerated and frozen foods, but since a large amount of cold air is constantly radiated from the opening, After closing, it is desirable to cover the openings to prevent a drop in refrigeration and freezing efficiency.

The present invention was created in response to the above-mentioned request, and includes a recessed sliding groove in the longitudinal direction of both left and right edges of each of the plurality of panel bodies. A guide member consisting of a guide rail that slidably engages with the sliding groove is provided, and the guide is sequentially engaged with the concave sliding groove of each adjacent panel body so as to be superimposed and parallel to each other to form a series of panels. In addition, by providing a storage section for storing the series of panels at the upper end of the opening of the show case, the opening of the show case can be covered with a series of panels after the store is closed, thereby greatly improving the refrigeration and freezing efficiency. When displaying products, the panel bodies that make up the panel can be stacked and lined up one after the other and completely stored in the panel storage area, without impairing the product display and decorative functions of the display case. The purpose of this invention is to provide a cold storage device.

To explain the structure of the present invention with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings, 1 is an open case with a width of approximately 7 m divided into three compartments, each with a depth of 1 m on the side, and a side wall with a depth of 1 m. It is formed into a substantially C-shape when viewed, and a glass plate a is attached thereto. A hollow pedestal b is provided on the lower surface side of the show case 1, and a cooling device, a duct, etc. (not shown) are built into the pedestal b. Reference numeral 2 denotes an opening, at the upper end of which is provided a panel storage section 3 in which a plurality of panel bodies 4a are stored in a stacked arrangement in front and back. That is, each panel body 4a has a guide member 7, which is integrally formed with a concave sliding groove 5 and a guide 6 parallel to the concave sliding groove 5, attached to the left and right side edges, and is adjacent to the concave sliding groove 5 of each panel body 4a. The guide rails 6 of each panel body 4a are sequentially and slidably engaged, and the panel bodies 4a are connected to form a series of panels 4. And each panel body 4
The guide rail 6 of the guide member 7 of a is provided with an upper stopper 8 at its upper end, and each of the concave sliding grooves 5 of each panel board 4a is provided with a lower stopper 9 at its lower end. If you pull down the panel body 4a at the front of a series of panels 4 stored in parallel, the guide rail 6 of that panel body 4a will be removed.
slides down in the concave sliding groove 5 of the rear panel body 4a, and the upper stopper 8 of the guide rail 6 of the front panel body 4a slides down in the concave sliding groove 5 of the rear panel body 4a.
The lower stopper 9 is brought into contact with the lower stopper 9, and the force of pulling down further separates the rear panel body 4a from the magnet described later and pulls it down. In this way, the rear panel body 4a
is lowered, and the panel body 4a unfolds into a series of planar panels 4 and closes the opening 2. 10 is a panel push-up plate attached to the lower end surface of each panel body 4a, and this push-up plate 10 is attached to the front panel body 4a.
When the panel a is pushed upward, it comes into contact with the lower end surface of the panel body 4a behind it and is pushed up together. An iron piece 11 is attached to the upper end surface of each panel body 4a, and a magnet 12 for attracting the iron piece 11 is attached to the lower surface of the top plate of the panel storage section 3. Although the panel body 4a is made of metal or plastic, it is preferable to use a heat insulating material.

In the device of the present invention constructed as described above, when displaying refrigerated or frozen foods, etc. in the show case 1, the series of panels 4 are arranged so that each panel body 4a is superimposed in parallel in the front and back, and the upper end surface of each panel body 4a is The iron piece 11 is attracted to the magnet 12 on the side of the storage part 3 and is stored in the panel storage part 3, and the opening part 2 of the show case 1 is entirely open. At this time, case 1
The cold air is ejected downward from the cold air outlet at the top, and this cold air flows from the top to the bottom through the opening 2 on the front of the case 1, cutting off the inside of the case 1 from the outside air and keeping the inside of the case 1 at a low temperature. Retained. The cold air that flows downward and has an increased temperature is sucked in from the inlet at the lower end of the opening 2, and after being cooled by the cooler built into the pedestal b, it passes through the duct and returns to the opening 2.
It is ejected from the upper cold air outlet and circulated.

After closing, etc., the opening 2 of the show case 1
When closing the panel storage section 3, when the frontmost panel body 4a of the series of panels 4 stored in the panel storage section 3 is pulled downward, each panel body 4a behind the panel body 4a will slide downward in sequence as described above. Each panel body 4a is unfolded as a series of planar panel bodies 4, and can cover the opening 2 of the show case 1. When the opening 2 of the housing case 1 is covered with a series of panels 4, the dissipation of cold air from the opening 2 is prevented, and the efficiency of refrigeration and freezing is greatly improved.
In particular, the effect is even greater when the series of panels 4 are made of a heat insulating material.

To open the opening 2 of the show case 1, push up the lowest panel body 4a of the series of closed panels 4. Each panel body 4a is successively pushed up by the push-up plate 10 and sent upward, and the panel body 4a is pushed upwards by the push-up plate 10. They are completely stored in the storage part 3 in a state where they are stacked one on top of the other in front and back,
The entire opening 2 of the show case 1 is open.
In this state, the series of panels 4 are connected to the opening 2.
The exterior of the show case 1 will not be damaged by this.

In summary, the present invention provides an opening cooling device for a show case consisting of a plurality of panel bodies.
In the longitudinal direction of both left and right edges of each of the plurality of panel bodies,
A guide member consisting of a concave sliding groove and a guide rail slidably engaged with the sliding groove is provided, and the guide rail is sequentially engaged with the concave sliding groove of each adjacent panel body so as to be superimposed and parallel to each other. It constitutes a series of panel bodies, and since the storage section for storing the series of panel bodies is provided at the upper end of the opening of the show case, after the store is closed, etc., the panel can be pulled down to cover the opening of the show case and can be used for refrigeration or freezing. Efficiency can be greatly improved, and when the panel is pulled up and the opening of the show case is opened, it can be completely stored in the panel storage area at the top of the opening of the show case by stacking them back and forth. This does not impair the product display and decorative functions of the show case, but it has extremely useful practical effects such as opening and closing the panel with one hand and a single touch.
