Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a drying prevention device for a crescent conveyor.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as an example of this type of drying prevention device, there has been a food and beverage counter having an endless transfer path described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-88874.

This example includes a counter, an endless transfer path formed on the counter, a covering structure that surrounds the transfer path and has an opening/closing door on at least a part of its side wall, and a freezing pipe provided on the top of the covering structure. It has a cover provided below the freezing tube, and a drain pipe connected to the cover.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Conventionally, the problem was as described above, so the freezing tube was installed on the top of the covering structure above the crescent chain conveyor, and a covering body was covered to prevent water droplets generated from the freezing tube from dripping. The structure is complicated because it must be installed below the structure.

Additionally, since the freezing tube and cover are installed on the top of the covering structure, the upper part of the crescent chain conveyor is blocked from the customer's view, making it difficult to see the products.

Additionally, drain pipes are placed vertically in the center of the Crescent Chain Conveyor, so they are in the customer's view and make it difficult to see the products on the Crescent Chain Conveyor.

The above points were problematic.

In view of these drawbacks, the present invention is a crescent conveyor that has a simple structure, does not allow moisture from the refrigeration mechanism to fall onto the products, makes it easy to select products, and provides a fresh and cool effect to customers. The object of the present invention is to provide a drying prevention device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is a circulating rectangular crescent chain equipped with a counter on the outer periphery, connected to the crescent chain on the same plane, and cooled at the inner central part facing the counter. A box equipped with a mechanism for storing ice is provided, a drain pipe leading to the outside is provided in the box, a cover is placed over the case and the crescent chain, and sliding doors that can be opened and closed are provided at required locations on the cover. It is something that has been established.

(effect) The operation of the present invention will be explained.

When using the anti-drying device for the crescent conveyor according to the present invention, by simply activating the cooling mechanism of the box in advance and storing ice on the box, the inside of the cover is always surrounded by cold air, and the plates on the crescent chain are Prevents products placed on it from drying out.

In addition, the water generated when the ice melts flows out through the drain pipe, so water will not overflow from the top of the case and will not adhere to the products on the crescent chain.

Therefore, the customer only has to select a plate on which the desired product is placed as it circulates on the crescent chain, open the sliding door, take out the plate on which the product on the crescent chain is placed, and eat.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a drying prevention device 1 for a crescent conveyor according to the present invention has the following configuration.

On the same plane as a circulating rectangular crescent chain 2 with a counter 3 on the outer periphery, the ice I is connected to the crescent chain 2 and is equipped with a cooling mechanism A in the inner center facing the counter 3. A box 4 is provided. The cooling mechanism A of this embodiment uses a refrigerant pipe 5 and a heat insulating material 6 in the box 4.
is coated with.

The box 4 is provided with a drain pipe 7 leading to the outside.

A cover 8 is placed over the box 4 and the crescent chain 2 so that they communicate with each other, and sliding doors 9 that can be opened and closed are provided at required locations on the cover 8.

Note that in this embodiment, the cooling mechanism A is a refrigerant pipe 5.
is used, but this is not necessarily the case and other mechanisms may be used.

Moreover, the case 4 is covered with a heat insulating material 6 because
This is to make the ice I less likely to melt, and it does not necessarily need to be coated.

(Effect of the invention) According to the drying prevention device for a crescent conveyor according to the present invention, the device is connected to a circulating rectangular crescent chain having a counter on the outer periphery on the same plane as the crescent chain;
A box with a cooling mechanism for storing ice is installed in the center of the inside facing the counter, and this box is equipped with a drain pipe leading to the outside, so it can be equipped with a cooling mechanism even without installing a water drop prevention device. The water generated inside the box that houses the ice flows out through the drain pipe,
Since water does not overflow from the top of the box and does not adhere to the products on the crescent chain, the products can be eaten fresh and deliciously.

Further, since the entire upper part of the crescent chain is simply covered with a cover, there is nothing that obstructs the customer's view, making it easy to select products on the crescent chain.

Also, since it uses ice, it gives customers a cool feeling, whets their appetite, and helps increase sales.
