[0008] (The knowledge and other information that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time when the inventors came up with the idea of ​​this disclosure, there were storage facilities in which the opening of the storage facility body was partitioned left and right or top and bottom by a partition member. In conventional storage facilities, the partition member was attached to the opening of the storage facility body, and then the inside of the storage facility body and the inside of the partition member were integrally filled with a heat insulating material such as urethane foam. However, the inventors discovered a problem that even if the size of the storage facility body is the same, there are differences in the presence or absence of connecting members and the number of partition members, making it difficult to develop variations. In order to solve this problem, the inventors came to constitute the subject of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a storage container in which a partition member can be easily attached to an opening of the storage container body.

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, more detailed explanation than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed explanation of already well-known matters or duplicate explanation of substantially the same configuration may be omitted. This is to avoid the following explanation becoming more redundant than necessary and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0010] (Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The symbol FR shown in each drawing indicates the front of the storage 1 in the installed state, the symbol UP indicates the upper side of the storage 1, and the symbol LH indicates the left side of the storage 1. In the following description, each direction is along the direction of the storage 1.

[0011] [1-1. Configuration] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a storehouse 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of the storehouse 1. In Fig. 2, a door 4 is omitted. As shown in Fig. 1, the storage facility 1 includes a storage facility main body 2, a plurality of doors 4, a machine room 6, and a partition member 100. The machine room 6 is disposed above the storage facility main body 2. A refrigeration device 61 that constitutes a refrigeration cycle is housed inside the machine room 6. The refrigeration device 61 includes a compressor 62, a condenser 63, a condenser blower 64, a capillary tube 65, and an electrical box 66, and these are driven to send cold air into the storage facility 2A.

[0012] The storage body 2 includes a storage chamber 2A. The storage body 2 includes an opening 2B that is rectangular in front view on the front side. The opening 2B is covered by four doors 4 so as to be openable and closable. The doors 4 are flat members having a predetermined thickness and formed to be thermally insulated. The storage body 1 includes two sets of doors 4, one above the other, with a pair of doors 4 arranged in the left-right direction as one set. These doors 4 are arranged with one side adjacent to each other. In addition, hinges 11 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of each door 4 at locations located on the other side of each door 4. Each of the pair of doors 4 can be opened and closed in the left-right direction of the storage body 1 by these hinges 11. That is, the pair of doors 4 are so-called double-doors. On the front side of each door 4, handles 18 are provided on the side surfaces adjacent to each other in the left-right direction.

[0013] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III of FIG. The storage body 2 is a box having an insulating wall 3. The insulating wall 3 is composed of a pair of side walls 131, 132, an upper wall 133, a lower wall 134, and a back wall 135. The partition walls 131-135 are all formed in a panel shape. The storage body 2 is formed by assembling the partition walls 131-135. Each of the partition walls 131-135 is formed by filling a space surrounded by an outer plate 5 and an inner plate 7 with an insulating material 8. The outer plate 5 and the inner plate 7 are both formed of a metal such as a stainless steel plate, and the insulating material 8 is made of polystyrene foam, hard urethane foam, or the like. The outer plate 5 and the inner plate 7 are not limited to metal, and may be formed of hard resin such as ABS resin. The outer plate 5 and the inner plate 7 may be formed by combining metal and hard resin. Although the storage container body 2 is formed by assembling the partition walls 131-135, the storage container body 2 may be formed by placing a box-shaped inner box inside a box-shaped outer box, with a heat insulating material sandwiched between the outer box and the inner box.

[0014] The outer plate 5 has a front edge 5A corresponding to the front surface of the storage 1 and a side edge 5B at a position corresponding to the inside of the opening 2B. The outer plate 5 has a folded portion 5X that is folded in a cross section in an approximately L-shape toward the inner surface of the opening at the position of the opening 2B. The folded portion 5X is composed of the front edge 5A, the side edge 5B, and a folded body 5C. The front edge 5A corresponds to the front frame of the storage 1. The tip of the side edge 5B is folded to form the folded body 5C. The folded body 5C is formed by bending the end of the folded portion 5X, i.e., the end of the side edge 5B, at an acute angle toward the flat inner surface of the folded portion 5X, i.e., the back surface of the front edge 5A. The folded portion 5X of the outer plate 5 and the end 7A of the inner plate 7 are connected by a connecting member 9 made of resin. The connecting member 9 is a member that connects the outer plate 5 and the inner plate 7 at the opening 2B. The connecting member 9 is a member that closes the gap between the outer plate 5 and the inner plate 7, that is, the gap between the end portion 7A and the folded-back body 5C. The connecting member 9 is provided on all four sides of the periphery of the opening 2B.

[0015] The connecting member 9 includes an outer member 21 exposed on the inner surface of the opening 2B, an inner member 25 located inside the outer plate 5 and the inner plate 7, and a pillar portion 23 connecting the outer member 21 and the inner member 25. The pillar portion 23 is formed substantially perpendicular to the outer member 21.

[0016] Protrusions 41A, 41B that come into contact with end portion 7A of inner plate 7 are formed on rear outer member 21B, which is at the rear of outer member 21. Pressing portion 27 is formed by bending so as to come into contact with end portion 7A, on rear inner member 25B, which is at the rear of inner member 25. By sandwiching end portion 7A between pressing portion 27 and rear outer member 21B, connecting member 9 holds inner plate 7.

[0017] The front outer member 21F, which is in front of the outer member 21, is formed with protrusions 39A and 39B that abut against the side edge portion 5B. The front outer member 21F is also formed with a positioning protrusion 37 that abuts against the apex 5Cb of the folded body 5C and is higher than the protrusions 39A and 39B. The front inner member 25F, which is in front of the inner member 25, is formed with an engagement portion 29. The engagement portion 29 has an inclined guide portion 29A and a stopper portion 29B. The tip portion 5Ca of the folded body 5C abuts against the stopper portion 29B of the engagement portion 29. The folded body 5C may also abut against the inclined guide portion 29A. The part of the front inner member 25F in front of the engagement portion 29 is bent at a bent portion 33 in a direction toward the outside of the storage 1, and a gripping portion 31 that grips the dew-proof heater 45 is formed. The anti-dew heater 45 held by the holding portion 31 faces the outer edge sealing member 50. The anti-dew heater 45 is an example of a heater. The heater is not limited to the anti-dew heater 45 for preventing dew, and may be another heater.

[0018] The door 4 includes a door body 12 and an outer edge sealing member 50. An outer edge magnet housing portion 51 having a rectangular cross section is provided at a corner portion 50A of the outer edge sealing member 50. It is preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing the generation of frost that the apex of the corner portion 50A is heated. An outer edge magnet 52 is housed inside the outer edge magnet housing portion 51. The outer edge magnet 52 has a length approximately equal to each side of the back surface of the door body 12.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 1, the door body 12 is composed of a door exterior plate 13 made of a metal such as a stainless steel plate. The center of the back surface of the door body 12 is composed of a door interior plate 14 made of a hard resin. The center of the door interior plate 14 protrudes toward the inside of the storage room 2A beyond the outer edge of the back surface of the door body 12. The space surrounded by the door exterior plate 13 and the door interior plate 14 is filled with a heat insulating material 15 such as polystyrene foam or hard urethane foam, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, a partition member 100 is attached to the connecting member 9 of the opening 2B of the storage body 2. The partition member 100 is a column, beam, or girder-shaped member that divides the opening 2B. The partition member 100 has a horizontal partition section 100A that divides the opening 2B of the storage body 2 into upper and lower parts, and a vertical partition section 100B that divides the storage body 2 into left and right parts, and the horizontal partition section 100A and the vertical partition section 100B are arranged in a cross shape. The partition member 100 may be formed of only the horizontal partition section 100A or only the vertical partition section 100B. The partition member 100 is formed in a rectangular box shape in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and is filled with a heat insulating material such as polystyrene foam or hard urethane foam. In other words, the partition member 100 is not filled with insulating material integrally with the storage body, but rather the insulating material 8 of the storage body 2 and the insulating material of the partition member 100 are not connected.

[0021] Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a middle portion 9X of the connecting member 9. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the connecting member 9 and the relay member 80. The connecting structure between the connecting member 9 and the partition member 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting member 9 is formed by sandwiching the relay member 80 at the midway portion 9X of the connecting member 9. The connecting member 9 in FIG. 4 is the connecting member 9 shown on the right end side of FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting member 9 is divided into upper and lower parts at the midway portion 9X into a first connecting body 9A and a second connecting body 9B. The relay member 80 has engagement protrusions at the upper and lower ends, and each engagement protrusion is formed by two protrusions, a first protrusion 87A and a second protrusion 87B. In the case of the relay member 80 facing the vertical partition portion 100B, the first protrusion 87A and the second protrusion 87B are formed at the left and right ends. The inner peripheral edge 2D of the opening 2B is formed by the connecting member 9 and the relay member 80.

[0022] In other words, the first protrusion 87A and the second protrusion 87B are formed on a surface facing the end of the first connecting body 9A, which is one of the divided connecting members 9, and a surface facing the end of the second connecting body 9B, which is the other. The first protrusion 87A and the second protrusion 87B at the upper end of the relay member 80 are fitted to the lower end of the first connecting body 9A, and the first protrusion 87A and the second protrusion 87B at the lower end of the relay member 80 are fitted to the upper end of the second connecting body 9B. The degree of fitting of each of the first connecting body 9A and the second connecting body 9B may be adjustable by a length shorter than the first protrusion 87A and the second protrusion 87B, that is, by a predetermined width. As a result, even if there is a dimensional error of the product, the error can be absorbed by the position of the relay member 80. In addition, in the fitting relationship between the relay member 80 and the connecting member 9, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are provided on the relay member 80, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the opposite pattern may be used, that is, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are provided on the end of the connecting member 9, and a fitting portion may be provided on the opposing surface of the relay member 80. The first protrusion 87A is formed so as to fit along the inner side of the storage main body 2 of the inner member 25 of the connecting member 9, and positions the relay member 80 with respect to the connecting member 9. The second protrusion 87B is formed so as to have a substantially L-shaped cross section, and is formed so as to fit along the inner member 25 and the pillar member 23 of the second connecting body 9B, and positions the relay member 80 with respect to the connecting member 9.

[0023] When the first and second protrusions 87A and 87B are fitted to the lower end of the first connecting body 9A and the second and second protrusions 87B and 87B are fitted to the upper end of the second connecting body 9B, the first connecting body 9A and the second connecting body 9B are connected by the relay member 80 as shown in Fig. 5. In this state, as viewed from the inner side of the opening 2B of the storage body 2, the inner surface 89 of the relay member 80 is recessed by one step more than the inner surfaces of the first connecting body 9A and the second connecting body 9B. When the partition member 100 is connected to the relay member 80, since the inner surface 89 of the relay member 80 is recessed, the fixing plate 102 can be easily attached by being guided by the recess.

[0024] Furthermore, the relay member includes a rib 90 formed along the cut surface of the outer member 21 of the connecting member 9. The two ribs 90 are formed on the inner surface 89 side, at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and over substantially the entire relay member 80 in the lateral direction.

[0025] 6 is a perspective view of the relay board 80, FIG. 7 is a plan view of FIG. 6 as viewed from direction B, and FIG. 8 is a plan view of FIG. 6 as viewed from direction C. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, a plurality of guide portions 86 are formed on the front surface of the relay member 80. The guide portion 86 is formed in a convex shape toward the front surface side. The guide portion 86 guides the dew-proof heater 45 so that the position of the dew-proof heater 45 positioned in the grip portion 31 (see FIG. 2) does not shift. Each corner 86A of the guide portion 86 is formed in a round shape so that the dew-proof heater 45 having a circular cross section is guided. The relay member 80 has two hook portions 88A and 88B formed on the surface facing the partition member 100. As shown in FIG. 2, when the storage 1 is viewed from the front, the dew-proof heater 45 is independently disposed around the entire periphery of the opening 2B and on the cross-shaped partition member 100. In other words, the dew-proof heater 45 provided around the entire periphery of the opening 2B and the dew-proof heater 45 provided on the partition member 100 are not electrically connected when the partition member 100 is not attached to the opening 2B. In this embodiment, the anti-dew heater 45 arranged around the entire periphery of the opening 2B of the storage body 2 is referred to as the storage body side heater, and the anti-dew heater 45 arranged inside the partition member 100 is referred to as the partition member heater.Furthermore, the heater located inside the horizontal partition section 100A of the anti-dew heater 45 may be referred to as the horizontal anti-dew heater 70, and the heater located inside the vertical partition section 100B may be referred to as the vertical anti-dew heater 72.

[0026] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IX-IX of FIG. As shown in Fig. 4, in the portion where the relay member 80 is located, the end portion 7B of the inner plate 7 is formed with hook holes 105 for engaging the hook portions 88A, 88B. The hook holes 105 are through holes. A flange 101 formed by bending the outer plate 5 extends from the position of the relay member 80. The flange 101 is formed at the bent portion 5X of the outer plate 5. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 9, a sheet metal member 103 is provided between the flange 101 and the relay member 80, and a female thread 103A (see Fig. 4) is formed in the sheet metal member 103.

[0027] Fig. 10 is an exploded perspective view of the horizontal partition 100A and the corner cover 76. Fig. 11 is a view seen from the direction of arrow A in Fig. 2. A fixing plate 102 is attached to an end of the horizontal partition 100A. A through hole 102A is formed in the fixing plate 102. The fixing plate 102 is pressed against the relay member 80 (see FIG. 4), and a bolt 104 is inserted through the through hole 102A and the flange 101, and is screwed into the female thread 103A of the sheet metal member 103 shown in FIG. 9. That is, the relay member 80 includes the flange 101, and the partition member 100 includes the fixing plate 102 fixed to the flange 101 by the bolt 104. As a result, the horizontal partition 100A is connected to the relay member 80 as shown in FIG. 11. The relay member 80 is formed with a first recess 81A and a second recess 81B through which the bolt 104 can be inserted.

[0028] The corner cover 76 is attached to cover the fixed plate 102, as shown in Fig. 10. The corner cover 76 has the same shape at any position on the storage body 2, as shown in Fig. 2. The corner cover 76 has a protrusion 76A, and the protrusion 76A fits into the long hole 102B of the fixed plate 102.

[0029] The horizontal anti-dew heater 70 is inserted and arranged from the right end of the horizontal partition 100A. The horizontal anti-dew heater 70 may be inserted from the left end of the horizontal partition 100A. The vertical anti-dew heater 72 is arranged from either the upper or lower end of the vertical partition 100B. In this embodiment, the vertical anti-dew heater 72 is arranged from the upper end of the vertical partition 100B.

[0030] The horizontal anti-dew heater 70 is equipped with a waterproof coupler 106 at its end. The waterproof coupler 106 is exposed from the right end of the horizontal partition 100A. As shown in FIG. 10, electricity is applied to the horizontal anti-dew heater 70 by connecting the waterproof coupler 106 to a power line 74 arranged inside the storage main body 2. The same applies to the vertical anti-dew heater 72. The waterproof coupler 106 corresponds to an example of a connector. The connector is not limited to the waterproof coupler 106, and may have another configuration, or may not be waterproof. The power lines 74 connected to the lateral dew-proof heater 70 are routed from the machine room 6 side inside the left and right side surfaces of the storage body 2, and are extended to the position of the relay member 80 facing the lateral partition 100A. The power lines 74 connected to the lateral dew-proof heater 70 are further inserted into an opening 83 of the relay member 80 described later. The power line 74 connected to the vertical dew prevention heater 72 is routed from the machine room 6 side inside the ceiling surface of the storage body 2 and extended to the position of the relay member 80 facing the upper part of the vertical partition part 100B. The power line 74 connected to the horizontal dew prevention heater 70 is further inserted through an opening 83 of the relay member 80 and a block member 110 described later.

[0031] As shown in Figs. 6 to 8, the relay member 80 has a storage section 82 capable of storing a waterproof coupler 106. The storage section 82 is formed on an inner surface 89 facing the end of the partition member 100, and can store the anti-condensation heater protruding from the partition member 100, the waterproof coupler 106, and a part of the power line 74 routed from the storage main body 2. The storage section 82 is formed as a concave space recessed from the inner surface 89 of the partition member 100 in a direction away from the opening 2B. Since water generated by condensation may enter the storage section 82, a highly waterproof waterproof coupler 106 is preferable.

[0032] The relay member 80 has an opening 83 through which the power line 74 can be inserted, approximately at the center of the housing portion 82. The opening 83 is formed as a circular through-hole, but is not limited to this shape and may be, for example, a polygon. The opening 83 has a protrusion 84 formed along the outer periphery of a through hole formed in the opening 83. The protrusion 84 is formed toward the outside of the storage section 82. The protrusion 84 is formed in a circular shape as shown in Fig. 7, and has two notches 85. The notches 85 are formed to a size that can accommodate the power line 74 arranged inside the storage main body 2. As a result, the protrusion 84 does not bend the power line 74, and the stress load on the power line 74 can be suppressed. Although not shown, a fastener that is inserted from the front to the rear of the bent portion 5X is inserted into the third recess 81C shown in FIG.

[0033] Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing the upper part of the storage main body 2. In Fig. 12, the machine room 6 is removed. Fig. 13 is an exploded perspective view showing the relay member 80 above the partition member 100 and the connecting member 9.

[0034] 13, the connecting member 9 is also divided into left and right at the midway portion 9X in the vertical direction of the partition member 100, into a first connecting body 9C in the horizontal direction and a second connecting body 9D in the horizontal direction. The rest of the description is the same as the description of the first connecting member 9A, the second connecting body 9B, and the relay member 80 in the vertical direction.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 12, a block member 110 formed in a cube shape is disposed on the upper part of the relay member 80 facing the upper end of the vertical partition 100B. The lower part of the block member 110 is fitted into the protruding part 84 of the relay member 80. A cover member 112 is provided on the upper part of the block member 110. The block member 110 has a hole penetrating in the vertical direction, and the power line 74 connected to the vertical dew prevention heater 72 can be routed inside the block member 110. The block member 110 is formed of a heat insulating material such as polystyrene foam. The position of the relay member 80 is not limited to the above-mentioned form. For example, the horizontal partition 100A may be connected to the relay member 80 on only one side, and the relay member 80 may be omitted on the other side, and the relay member 80 may be fixed to the connecting member 9 with a fixing device not shown. The relay member 80 may be disposed on the upper connecting member 9 and on either the left or right connecting member 9, and the partition member 100 may be connected in a substantially L-shape when the storage facility 1 is viewed from the front. Relay members 80 may be disposed on the upper connecting member 9 and each of the left and right connecting members 9, and the partition members 100 may be connected in a generally inverted T shape when viewed from the front of the storage facility 1. Furthermore, relay members 80 may be disposed on the lower connecting member 9 and each of the left and right connecting members 9, and the partition members 100 may be connected in a generally T shape when viewed from the front of the storage facility 1.

[0036] [1-2. Effects, etc.] The operation of the storage facility 1 constructed as above will now be described. As shown in Fig. 2, the connecting member 9, which connects the outer plate 5 and the inner plate 7 and has a gripping portion 31 for gripping the dew prevention heater 45, is provided around the entire periphery of the opening 2B. The connecting member 9 is divided so that relay members 80 can be arranged therein, and the relay members 80 are arranged in the divided midway portions 9X of the connecting member 9. In this embodiment, one relay member 80 is arranged in each of the connecting members 9 on each side, and therefore each is divided once to form the midway portion 9X. Note that a plurality of midway portions may be provided, and the number of relay members 80 corresponding to the number of midway portions may be provided.

[0037] The relay member 80 has the same shape at any position in the opening 2B. The relay member 80 has a structure that is approximately line-symmetrical when viewed from the plane at the center in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, when the relay member 80 is provided at the end of the horizontal partition 100A, it can be provided without considering the top and bottom installation direction. In particular, the cutout portion 85 in which the power line 74 is accommodated is formed line-symmetrical, so there is no need to consider the top and bottom of the relay member.

[0038] In addition, the opening 83 and the protrusion 84 formed in the opening 83 function as holes through which the power line 74 passes in any position, and the relay member 80 facing the upper end of the vertical partition portion 100B functions as a member for fitting the block member 110, which is a thermal insulating material.

[0039] From the viewpoint of preventing moisture from condensing on the door 4, it is preferable to position the dew-proof heater 45 with the gripping portion 31 so that the heater does not shift from its original position. The relay member 80 has a plurality of guide portions 86, and the dew-proof heater 45 can be positioned even at the intermediate portion 9X where the connecting member 9 is divided.

[0040] [1-3. Effects]

[0041] As described above, the storage facility 1 in this embodiment comprises a storage facility main body 2 having an opening 2B, and a partition member 100 that separates the opening 2B, and the storage facility main body 2 includes a relay member 80 that is arranged facing the opening 2B, and an end of the partition member 100 is connected to the relay member 80.

[0042] This allows the partition member 100 to be easily attached to the opening 2B of the storage container body 2.
