Refrigerating open showcase
View Patent ↗In a refrigerating open showcase comprising a showcase body whose top surface is open; an inner plate disposed to form an air passage between the inner plate and the showcase body; and a cooler disposed in the air passage, in which an air curtain is formed on the top surface of the showcase body by causing air having been cooled in the air passage to flow from a discharge port to a suction port, the upper end of the inner plate on the suction port side is bent toward the air passage on the suction side, and the upper face of the bent portion is inclined slightly with respect to the horizontal in the direction that the upper face of said bent portion faces a side wall on the suction port side of the showcase body.
1. A refrigerating open showcase comprising a showcase body whose top surface is open; an inner plate disposed on the inside of said showcase body to form an air passage between said inner plate and said showcase body; and a cooler disposed in said air passage, in which an air curtain is formed on the top surface of said showcase body by causing air having been cooled in said air passage to flow from the upper end on one side of said showcase body to the upper end on the other side thereof, wherein
the upper end of the inner plate facing one side on the cold air suction side of said showcase body includes a bent portion that is bent toward said air passage on the suction side, and said bent portion is slightly inclined with regard to the horizontal in the direction that the upper face of said bent portion faces said one side of said showcase body, a length of said bent portion is approximately a half of a distance between said showcase body and said inner plate constituting said air passage on the suction side, and a tip end of said bent portion is bent downward.
2. A refrigerating open showcase comprising a showcase body whose top surface is open; an inner plate disposed on the inside of said showcase body to form an air passage between said inner plate and said showcase body and also form a wall for a commodity holding area of said showcase; and a cooler disposed in said air passage, in which an air curtain is formed on the top surface of said showcase body by causing air having been cooled in said air passage to flow from the upper end on one side of said showcase body to the upper end on the other side thereof, wherein
the upper end of the inner plate facing one side on the cold air discharge side of said showcase body includes a bent portion that is bent toward said air passage on the discharge side, and insulation is positioned under the bent portion on the discharge side.
3. The refrigerating open showcase recited in claim 2 , wherein the refrigerating open showcase includes at least a first vane and a second vane that each include a downwardly extending portion positioned in said air passage on the discharge side, said downwardly extending portion of said first vane being positioned a first distance from an end of the bent portion, and said downwardly extending portion of said second vane being positioned a second distance from said first vane, the first distance being less than the second distance.
4. A refrigerating open showcase comprising a showcase body whose top surface is open; an inner plate disposed on the inside of said showcase body to form an air passage between said inner plate and said showcase body and also form a wall for a commodity holding area of said showcase; and a cooler disposed in said air passage, in which an air curtain is formed on the top surface of said showcase body by causing air having been cooled in said air passage to flow from the upper end on one side of said showcase body to the upper end on the other side thereof, wherein
the upper end of the inner plate facing one side on the cold air suction side of said showcase body is bent toward said air passage on the suction side, and said bent portion is inclined slightly with respect to the horizontal in the direction that the upper face of said bent portion faces said one side of said showcase body, and
the upper end of the inner plate facing one side on the cold air discharge side of said showcase body includes a bent portion that is bent toward said air passage on the discharge side, and insulation is positioned under the bent portion on the discharge side.
5. The refrigerating open showcase recited in claim 4 , wherein the refrigerating open showcase includes at least a first vane and a second vane that each include a downwardly extending portion positioned in said air passage on the discharge side, said downwardly extending portion of said first vane being positioned a first distance from an end of the bent portion, and said downwardly extending portion of said second vane being positioned a second distance from said first vane, the first distance being less than the second distance.
