Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a flat open showcase with a windproof function.

Showcases can be either open or closed, but in places with outside wind speeds (such as storefronts), open cases have poor cooling performance, so closed cases are used.

However, the closed type has disadvantages in that it is more troublesome to take in and out the objects to be cooled than in the open type, and the display effect is inferior.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a flat open showcase that does not reduce its cooling performance even when used in stores with outside air wind speeds. be.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a flat open showcase, and a housing 3 constituting a cooling chamber 2 is provided within the main body 1.

An opening 3a opening to the outside is formed in the upper surface of the casing 3, and a cooling pipe 4 is wound around the outer peripheral wall of the casing 3.

The cooling pipe 4 is connected via a refrigerant pipe to a compressor and a condenser (both not shown) disposed at the inner bottom of the main body 1, thereby forming a refrigeration cycle.

Further, a heat insulating material 5 is interposed between the inner wall of the main body 1 and the outer wall of the casing 3.

On the other hand, a decorative frame 9 is attached to the upper surface of the main body 1.

This decorative frame 9 has a stepped portion 6a formed along the opening periphery of the cooling chamber 3a, and a windbreak cover 7 is removably mounted on this stepped portion 6a.

The windproof cover 7 is constructed as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2 as well.

That is, the windproof cover 7 has a circumferential wall portion 8 that stands upwardly, and a U-shaped groove 9 is integrally formed at the lower end portion of the circumferential wall portion 8 over the entire circumference.

Further, an opening 10 is formed in the upper surface of the windproof cover 7, and two upper and lower step portions 11 and 12 are formed at the periphery of this opening.

Sliding door bodies 13 and 14 are attached to the step portions 11 and 12 as necessary, such as when the store is used at a store where the outside air has a high wind speed or when the outside air temperature is high.

Further, at night, the opening 10 can be covered with a night cover 15 as a cover without using the door bodies 13 and 14.

The windproof cover 7 is integrally molded from transparent plastic or the like, so that the inside of the cooling chamber 2 can be seen through.

Therefore, when used in a store, the door body 13 is attached to the stepped portions 11 and 12 of the opening periphery of the windproof cover 7, respectively.
, 14 is placed to close the opening 10 of the windproof cover 7.

Thereby, the inside of the cooling chamber 2 is isolated from the outside, and even if there is an outside air wind speed, outside air will not enter into the cooling room 2.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent deterioration of cooling performance due to outside air, and it is possible to use it in stores.

On the other hand, when used indoors, from the windproof cover 7 to the door body 13,
Remove 14.

This allows it to be used as an open showcase.

Further, the windproof cover 7 is removed when the object to be cooled is taken in and out.

Therefore, the windproof cover 7 does not get in the way when the object to be cooled is taken in and taken out.

Moreover, the effective space of the cooling chamber 2 can be expanded by the upright windbreak cover 7, and more objects to be cooled can be accommodated.

Further, since the windproof cover 7 is formed of a transparent member, it does not interfere with the display effect of objects to be cooled.

Furthermore, the windproof cover 7 can prevent cold air from leaking within the cooling chamber 2, and has the same blocking performance as an air curtain.

In addition, at night when the showcase is not in use, if the opening 10 of the windproof cover 7 is covered with the night cover 15, cold air will not escape, and high cold air storage properties can be obtained.

Note that when the showcase is in operation, the windproof cover 7 is cooled by cold air, so dew adheres to its outer surface.
This dew flows downward and collects in the groove 9 formed at the lower edge of the windbreak cover 7, and in combination with the expansion of the effective space and the transparency of the windbreak cover 7 described above, the display effect is always high. can be obtained.

Note that the collected dew is discharged from the groove 9 to the outside via a drainage pipe 16.

As explained above, the present invention provides a windproof cover around the opening of the cooling room to close the opening, and when used in a store, a door body is attached to the windproof cover, and this door body Since the opening of the windproof cover is closed so as to be openable and closable, the open showcase can be used in stores without the outside air entering the cooling chamber even if there is an outside wind speed.

In addition, for indoor use, all you have to do is remove the door from the windproof cover and open the opening of the windproof cover, and the open showcase can be used not only indoors but also in stores, making it extremely practical. Highly sexual.

Moreover, since the windproof cover is configured to have a circumferential wall portion that stands up against the opening of the cooling chamber, the effective space of the cooling chamber can be expanded.

In addition, the windproof cover is transparent and has a U-shaped groove at the lower end of the circumferential wall, so dew does not remain on the outer circumferential surface of the windproof cover, and at the same time, it prevents dew from entering the cooling chamber. The above-mentioned enlargement of the effective space and the transparency can be combined to provide a high display effect without compromising the cooling performance.

In addition, the windbreak cover can be easily and properly set by simply placing the lower end of the windbreak cover on the step provided around the opening of the cooling chamber, and can be easily removed when entering or exiting objects to be cooled. It does not get in the way of entering and exiting work, and at the same time, it is possible to prevent cold air from leaking without requiring an air curtain mechanism.

Furthermore, by providing a cover to shield the opening of the windproof cover, it is possible to reliably prevent the leakage of cold air inside the cooling chamber when the liquid is not in use, and has the advantage of achieving high cold air preservation. .
