The third portion 130 may have substantially the same configuration as the second portion 120 basically. However, the third portion 130 and the second portion 120 may be symmetrical about an axis extending in the third direction Z. [ The reference numerals 131, 132, 133, 134, and 135 shown in FIG. 5 correspond to the third portion 130.

Referring to FIG. 6, a first hole (H1) may be formed at both ends of the driving module 200. Referring to FIG. In other respects, the first holes H1 may be formed at both ends of the housing (not shown) of the driving module 200, respectively.

Second holes (H2) corresponding to the first holes (H1) are formed in the second side portions (124) of the second portion (120) and the third portion (130) of the lathe frame .

A coupling means SC such as a screw can pass through the first hole H1 and the second hole H2 to connect the shelf frame 100 and the drive module 200. [

One end of the driving module 200 is connected to the second portion 120 of the shelf frame 100 and the other end of the driving module 200 is connected to the third portion 130 of the shelf frame 100 Can be connected.

The driving module 200 will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

7 to 10 are views for explaining the drive module. In the following, description of the parts described above may be omitted.

7, the driving module 200 may include a housing 220 coupled to the shelf frame 100 and at least one motor 210 disposed within the housing 220. The motor 220 may be a motor.

A motor hole 221 may be formed in the housing 220.

8, the motor 210 is disposed inside the housing 220, and the drive shaft 211 of the motor 210 is exposed through the motor hole 221 of the housing 220. Referring to FIG.

Here, one motor 210 may be connected to one dish 400. In other words, the motor 210 and the dish 400 can be installed in a 1: 1 ratio.

8 shows a cross section of the motor hole 221 of the drive module 200 taken along line A5-A6.

The first end E1 of the housing 220 is directed toward the front of the shelf module 20 in the width direction of the housing 220 or in the second direction Y and the first end (Second Edge, E2), which is opposite to the first edge E1, can be directed to the rear of the shelf module 20.

The distance D1 between the first end E1 and the drive shaft 211 of the motor 210 may be greater than the distance D2 between the second end E2 and the drive shaft 211. [ In other words, the driving shaft 211 of the motor 210 may be biased to the rear of the shelf module 20.

The position of the housing 220 can be appropriately set in order to install the aesthetics of the shelf module 20 and the dish 400 in a proper position.

In addition, the motor 210 may be positioned behind the starter module 20 to effectively dissipate the heat generated during operation of the motor 210 within the display space.

Referring to FIG. 9, the motor 210 may have an asymmetric shape.

In other words, the driving shaft 211 of the motor 210 may be positioned at one side of the motor base 212.

The distance W2 between the end of the motor base 212 and the drive shaft 211 on the second end E2 side of the housing 220 is larger than the distance W2 between the end of the motor base 212 on the first end E1 side of the housing 220, (W1) between the end of the drive shaft (212) and the drive shaft (211).

In this case, the structural stability of the lathe module 20 can be improved, and the heat generated when the motor 210 is driven can be effectively dispersed in the display space.

Referring to FIG. 10, the motor 210 may be attached to the housing 220 by a thermally conductive sheet 230 having adhesiveness. The heat conduction sheet 230 can not only attach the motor 210 to the housing 220 but also effectively transmit the heat generated by the motor 210 to the housing 220. [ Accordingly, it is possible to prevent heat from being concentrated at a specific position of the driving module 200.

Alternatively, a predetermined partition 240 may be installed inside the housing 220. The motor 210 may be able to be fixed by the partition 240.

Bearing 500 will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

11 to 12 are views for explaining bearings. In the following, description of the parts described above may be omitted.

In addition, a hole 540 may be formed in the center of the bearing 500.

This type of bearing 500 may be referred to as a " Trust Ball Bearing ".

Referring to FIG. 12, a thrust bearing type bearing 500 may be disposed between the shelf 300 and the dish 400.

The driving shaft 211 of the motor 210 may be connected to the dish 400 through the hole 540.

In this case, the load of the dish 400 is dispersed by the bearing 500, so that the structural stability is improved and the noise generation can be reduced.

In addition, the heat that may be generated when the motor 210 is driven may be blocked by the bearing 500. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent heat from being cut in the article such as food displayed on the dish 400.

The thickness T1 of the bearing 500 may be greater than the thickness T2 of the shelf 300 and / or the thickness T3 of the dish 400. [ In this case, the bearing 500 can more effectively block the heat transfer.

Here, in the second direction Y, the diameter S1 of the dish 400 may be larger than the width S2 of the housing 220 of the driving module 200. [ In this case, the beauty of the shelf module 20 can be made even more beautiful.

The illumination unit will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figs. 13 to 15 are views for explaining the illumination unit. Fig. In the following, description of the parts described above may be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 13, the illumination part 600 may have a tube shape extending in the first direction X. Referring to FIG. For example, the illumination unit 600 may include an illumination tube 610 extending in a first direction X and at least one light source 620 installed within the illumination tube 610.

The illumination unit 600 can provide sufficient light (illumination) to observe the displayed articles.

The illuminating unit 600 may be electrically connected by wires (not shown).

The illumination unit 600 may be disposed between the first portion 110 of the shelf frame 100 and the housing 220 of the drive module 200, as in the case of Figs. 14 and 15.

In other aspects, the illumination portion 600 may be located in a space between the front wall 112 of the first portion 110 and the front horizontal portion 111. [

In this case, the first portion 110 of the shelf frame 100 may cover the illumination portion 600, thereby preventing light from the illumination portion 600 from being transmitted directly to the observer, .

The width D4 of the first portion 110 of the shelf frame 100 in the third direction Z may be greater than the width R1 of the illumination portion 600 to more effectively cover the illumination portion 600. [

In addition, the dish 400 may extend further forward than the shelf frame 100 by a predetermined width D3. In this case, the beauty of the shelf module 20 can be made even more beautiful.

The motor 210 is disposed at a lower portion of the shelf 300 and the motor 210 and the dish 400 are connected at a ratio of 1: It is possible to reduce the size of the space occupied by the space. As a result, the article can be displayed more beautifully and the article storage capacity of the showcase 1 can be improved.

Further, the present invention can freely move and / or display the article in the display space, and can make the aesthetic appearance of the showcase 1 more beautiful.

As described above, it is to be understood that the technical structure of the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the present invention.

It should be understood, therefore, that the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, And all changes or modifications derived from equivalents thereof should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
