Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to the structure of a refrigerated case.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of refrigerated case, the refrigerated case part and the machine room located at the bottom of this case were integrally formed, and the entire machine room formed the bottom part of the case part. proposed a refrigerated show case in which the show case part and the machine room can be separated as each unit in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 128078/1989, which was filed at the same time as this application, and solved various problems.

An example of such a separable refrigerating case is shown in FIG. 4, and this refrigerating case 1 consists of a case part 2 and a machine room 3. In such a refrigerator case, the machine room 3 shown in FIG. 5 can also be used, and the intermediate member 4 that removably connects the machine room 3 to the machine room 3 can be the one shown in FIG. You can also use the

As can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, the intermediate member 4 supporting the show case portion 2 and the flange 5 of the machine room 3 are not symmetrical front to back or left and right.
In addition, the cold air discharge port 6a and the intake port 7 in the upper part of the machine room 3
a (and the corresponding discharge port 6b and intake port 7 in the bottom plate part 8 of the intermediate member 4)
b) are different in their relative shapes and positions.
Furthermore, the positions of the mounting hole 9a provided in the flange 5 and the screw hole 9b cut in the mounting frame member 10 of the intermediate member 4 that engages with the mounting hole 9a are not particularly designed to be symmetrical front to back or left and right.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

When using a refrigerated case as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the following problems occurred.

If you want the sliding glass (sliding door) 11 (Fig. 4) at the rear of the housing case to be exposed to the front so that customers can freely take out products from the housing, the rear of the machine room at the bottom should also face the front. In terms of appearance, it spoils the beauty of the case.

If a slide glass is designed to be opened both from the rear and from the front, manufacturers will incur significant losses in terms of materials and manufacturing, and it will also be uneconomical in terms of inventory management.

Since the show case, intermediate parts, and machine room must all match,
At the time of packaging or shipping, mismatched items were mistakenly sent to the customer, causing trouble.

If a customer wants to convert a rear-opening model into a front-opening model, they would have to purchase one more unit, whereas if they tried not to purchase one, they would lose design flexibility when converting. .

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerated air circulation type refrigerated show case in which an upper show case part and a lower machine room are removably engaged with each other via an intermediate member. The objective is to provide flexibility in relative orientation and compatibility between each unit.

[Means for solving problems]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a refrigerated air circulation type refrigerated show case in which an upper show case part and a lower machine room are removably engaged with each other via an intermediate member, wherein the machine room and the intermediate member are
They each include a discharge port and a suction port that communicate with each other to circulate cold air, an engaging portion that is placed on top of the other and engages with each other, and the machine room and the intermediate member are mutually connected. and an attachment portion formed on the engagement portion for attachment, and the shape and position of the discharge port and suction port, the engagement portion, and the attachment portion are different from those of the machine room and the intermediate member. They are characterized in that they substantially match and are formed and arranged symmetrically in the front and back.

[Effect]

With the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, even if the show case part placed on the intermediate member is further rotated by 180 degrees with respect to the machine room, the engagement relationship between the intermediate member and the machine room is maintained in the same way as the refrigerated show case. can be assembled.

〔Example〕

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The refrigerating case according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an intermediate member 4' used in a refrigerated storage case according to the present invention, seen from the machine room side, and FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the lower machine room 3', seen from the back side.

This intermediate member 4' is composed of a mounting frame member (engaging part) 10' whose periphery is frame-shaped and a case bottom plate part 8' surrounded by this, and the shape of the mounting frame member 10' is are symmetrical with respect to each center line (not shown), and furthermore, screw holes (attachment portions) 9b' are cut symmetrically from front to back and from left to right. A cold air outlet 6b' and an inlet 7 are provided on the bottom plate part 8' of the case.
b' are provided in the same manner as in FIG. 6, but the difference is that these discharge ports 6b' and suction ports 7b' are also made symmetrically in the front, rear, left and right directions.

The machine room 3' in FIG. 2 is provided with a flange (engaging portion) 5' that is engaged and fixed with the mounting frame member 10' of the intermediate member 4' shown in FIG. ′ is also symmetrical front to back and left and right,
A mounting hole (attachment portion) 9a' provided in the same manner as the screw hole 9b' of the mounting frame member 10' is also symmetrical front to back and laterally. A cold air outlet 6a' and an inlet 7a' are provided in the upper part of the machine room 3' as in the case shown in FIG. The difference is that it is symmetrical in the front and rear to align with the discharge port 6b' and the suction port 7b' at 8'.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the screw hole 9b' of the mounting frame member 10' is provided corresponding to the mounting hole 9a' of the flange 5' as described above, but both of these and the mounting frame member 10' and Since both flanges 5' are provided symmetrically in the front and back, even if the intermediate member 4', and thus the show case section 2 placed thereon, is reversed front to back, that is, rotated by 180 degrees, they will engage in the same way. It is located in the screw hole and appears as if it did not rotate. Moreover, since the discharge port and the suction port are also symmetrical, if the front and rear sides of the show case part 2 are reversed, the discharge port 6a' will correspond to the suction port 7b', and the suction port 7b' will newly become the discharge port 7b. ', and the intake port 7
A' corresponds to the discharge port 6b', and the discharge port 6b' newly becomes the suction port 6b'.

Therefore, from the external appearance arrangement of the refrigerated case 1 with the slide glass 11 located at the rear as shown in FIG. 4, the usage method shown in FIG. be able to achieve the objectives of the term. Furthermore, the second
As shown in the figure, the side where the condenser cooling suction part 12 is visible is the rear part of the machine room 3'.

In the above explanation, the mounting frame member, screw hole, discharge port, and suction port in the intermediate member, and the flange, screw hole, mounting hole, discharge port, and suction port in the machine room have been particularly explained, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It can be applied to various elements as well.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the structures of the intermediate member on which the show case part is mounted and the machine room disposed thereunder are formed symmetrically in the front and back, so that the following effects are achieved.

If you want the slide glass side to be the front so that customers can take out products freely, you can leave the lower machine room as it is and turn only the upper show case part back and forth, so the rear part of the machine room does not appear in the front. , without damaging the overall beauty of the refrigerated case.

Since a single machine can handle both front-opening and rear-opening slide glass, manufacturers do not have to produce two types of models, which greatly facilitates inventory management.

Mispacking and misdelivery associated with front-opening and rear-opening refrigerated cases can be avoided.

It is possible to easily cope with the renovation of a store from a front-opening type refrigerated display case to a rear-opening type refrigerated display case, or vice versa, and it is possible to give flexibility to the interior design of the store.

Since there are many symmetrical parts, it is very economical in terms of interchangeability of parts and manufacturing costs.
