Show case

Abstract

Provided is a showcase for displaying foods, and more particularly, an open-type showcase including a separate storage chamber installed in the showcase, isolatable from the exterior, and continuously receiving cold air through a cold air passage, similar to a display chamber, and capable of simply moving foods which can easily go bad, such as sandwiches or breads, displayed in the showcase, to the storage chamber and keeping the foods refrigerated after business hours, and blocking supply of the cold air into the display chamber when the display chamber is not used.The showcase includes a body having a display chamber disposed at an upper part thereof and cold air passages connected to the display chamber at both front and rear sides of the interior thereof, and a cold air circulation fan for supplying and circulating cold air generated by a cold air generator to the display chamber along the cold air passages, wherein a storage chamber connected to the front and rear cold air passages is provided in the body to be opened and closed by a door.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]An aspect of the present invention is to provide a showcase including a separate storage chamber capable of stably maintaining freshness of foods for an extended period of time.

[0010]Another aspect of the present invention provides a showcase capable of maximizing energy efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

However, since it is difficult for the open-type showcase to uniformly maintain a temperature sufficient for refrigeration due to discharge of some cold air to the exterior during use thereof causing excessive power consumption, energy efficiency of the open-type showcase is lower than that of the closed-type showcase.

Further, since the separate refrigeration apparatus must be additionally installed, space efficiency of the shop is decreased.
