Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration display equipment, in particular to a vertical micro-freezing display cabinet. Background Art
[0002] Micro-freezer display cabinets are generally used to display goods, samples, products or other shelves that need to be displayed. Micro-freezers are also called soft freezers. According to national standards, the temperature of the soft freezer is 0 to -7°C. When the internal temperature is higher than this temperature, the refrigeration equipment starts, and when it is lower than this temperature, the refrigeration equipment is shut down, thereby ensuring that the internal temperature is maintained between 0 and -7°C.
[0003] When the existing vertical micro-freezing display cabinet is in use, in order to ensure that the internal temperature of different display layers of the display cabinet is maintained between 0 and -7°C, the refrigeration equipment will be repeatedly turned on and off, which will greatly reduce the service life of the refrigeration equipment. In the micro-freezing state, the display cabinet generally stores meat, fish and processed foods such as yogurt, pasta, butter, cheese, etc. Long-term micro-freezing will cause blood to appear in the stored meat and condensation water to appear on the packaging shell. These liquids will drip into the display cabinet. The accumulation of liquid affects the appearance of the interior of the display cabinet and affects the sale of goods. In order to sell the goods, the display cabinet generally has lighting equipment. Lights of different brightness produce different effects on the goods. Too bright or too dark is not good.
