DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0008] (The knowledge and other information that formed the basis of this disclosure) When the inventors first came up with the idea of the present disclosure, the shelves of the storage cabinet were supported by being placed on shelf support members fixed to the inside surface of the storage cabinet. Therefore, when the storage cabinet was transported, the shelves could fall off due to vibrations applied to the storage cabinet. In order to prevent the shelves from falling off in this way, a fixing bar for preventing the shelves from falling off has conventionally been provided separately to suppress the shelves from bouncing up during transportation. Alternatively, the shelves have been packaged separately and installed after the storage unit is installed at the destination.
[0009] However, the inventors discovered a problem that the method of installing fixing bars to prevent shelves from falling off requires the fixing bars to be discarded after the storage unit is installed, and that the method of packaging the shelves separately also requires the packaging material to be discarded, resulting in a lot of waste and making it difficult to install the storage unit.In order to solve this problem, the inventors have come up with the subject matter of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a shelf support member and a storage cabinet that can prevent shelves from falling off when the storage cabinet is transported and used.
[0010] 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.
[0011] (Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, an example in which a showcase is used as a storage cabinet will be described. [1-1. Configuration] [1-1-1. Showcase composition] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a showcase 1 according to the first embodiment. The showcase 1 of this embodiment is a refrigerated / frozen showcase capable of storing items stored therein at a predetermined temperature. However, the showcase 1 is not limited to this, and may be a showcase that stores items stored therein at room temperature, or may be a showcase that stores items in a warm state.
[0012] 1, the showcase 1 includes a box-shaped housing 10 with heat-insulating walls on each side. The housing 10 includes a machine chamber 11 at the bottom and a display chamber 12 disposed above the machine chamber 11. The machine room 11 houses devices that make up a refrigeration circuit, such as a compressor, a condenser, an expander, and an evaporator (not shown), as well as a blower that sends out cold air that has exchanged heat with the evaporator to the display room 12. The inside of the display room 12 is cooled to a predetermined temperature by driving these devices.
[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, an opening 13 that opens forward is formed on the front surface of the display room 12. A sliding door (not shown) that can be opened and closed freely is provided in this opening 13. Note that a swing door that can be opened and closed by rotating may also be used for the opening 13. A long fixing member 14 extending in the vertical direction is disposed on both side surfaces of the display chamber 12 near the opening 13 .
[0014] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the fixing member 14 of the showcase. 2, a large number of fixing holes 15 are arranged at approximately equal intervals in the vertical direction in the fixing member 14. The fixing holes 15 include a substantially circular insertion hole 16 and a notch portion 17 that is cut out in a substantially rectangular shape in the vertical direction of the insertion hole 16. A shelf support member 30 is attached to the fixing hole 15.
[0015] The shelf 20 is placed on the shelf support member 30. The shelf 20 has a pair of support shafts 21 extending in the front-rear direction. A plurality of rod-shaped members 22 extending in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction are arranged between the support shafts 21, thereby forming the shelf 20 in a substantially mesh-like shape.
[0016] [1-1-2. Configuration of shelf support parts] Next, the shelf support member 30 will be described. 3(a) and 3(b) are perspective views showing the shelf support member 30 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the shelf support member 30 includes a main body 31, a shelf support portion 40, a shelf fixing portion 50, and a shelf support fixing portion 60. The main body 31 is formed in a flat plate shape having a vertically elongated rectangular shape. The shelf support portion 40 includes a shelf receiving portion 41 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lower side of one surface of the main body 31. Between the lower surface of the shelf receiving portion 41 and the one surface of the main body 31, a substantially triangular reinforcing rib 42 is integrally formed. An upwardly curved holding piece 43 is integrally formed at the tip of the shelf support portion 40.
[0017] The shelf fixing portion 50 has a fixing piece 51 that curves downward from the upper end of the main body 31. A shelf pressing piece 52 is provided at the tip of the fixing piece 51. The fixed piece 51 has elasticity with respect to the main body 31, and when a force is applied from above to below the fixed piece 51, the fixed piece 51 is deformable so as to approach the main body 31. When the force is released, the fixed piece 51 returns to its original position.
[0018] The shelf support fixing portion 60 is provided with a circular insertion portion 61. The outer diameter of the insertion portion 61 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 16 of the fixing hole 15. At the tip of the insertion portion 61, a locking piece 62 is formed which protrudes outward in the diametrical direction in the horizontal direction. The shelf support fixing portion 60 has the insertion portion 61 inserted into the insertion hole 16 of the fixing hole 15 with the locking piece 62 corresponding to the cutout portion 17 of the fixing hole 15. With the main body 31 and the fixing member 14 in contact with each other, the main body 31 is rotated approximately 90° so that the locking piece 62 is positioned on the back side of the fixing hole 15, thereby fixing the shelf support member 30 to the fixing member 14.
[0019] [1-2. Operation] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a procedure for fixing the shelf support member 30. As shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, when installing shelf 20, first, insertion portion 61 is inserted into insertion hole 16 of fixing hole 15 with locking piece 62 of shelf support fixing portion 60 corresponding to notch portion 17 of fixing hole 15. Then, with the main body 31 and the fixing member 14 in contact with each other, the main body 31 is rotated by approximately 90°. As a result, the locking pieces 62 are positioned on the back side of the fixing holes 15, so that the shelf support member 30 can be fixed to the fixing member 14.
[0020] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a procedure for attaching the shelf 20 to the shelf support member 30. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 is moved downward relative to the shelf support member 30. As a result, the support shaft 21 abuts against the fixed piece 51 of the shelf fixing portion 50, and when further downward force is applied, the elastic force of the fixed piece 51 causes it to deform toward the main body 31 and move aside, and the support shaft 21 is placed on the upper surface of the shelf support portion 41 of the shelf support portion 40.
[0021] When the support shaft 21 is placed on the shelf receiving portion 41, the force applied to the fixed piece 51 is released, so that the fixed piece 51 is returned to its original position, and the installation of the shelf 20 is completed. With the shelf 20 installed in this manner, the side of the support shaft 21 is supported by the retaining piece 43, and the upper part of the support shaft 21 is pressed down by the shelf pressing piece 52 of the shelf fixing portion 50, so that the support shaft 21 can be fixed by the shelf support member 30 and can be prevented from coming off the shelf support member 30.
[0022] When removing the shelf 20, the fixing piece 51 of the shelf fixing part 50 is pushed toward the main body 31, thereby retracting the shelf pressing piece 52 from the upper part of the support shaft 21. In this state, the shelf 20 can be removed from the shelf support member 30 by moving the support shaft 21 upward.
[0023] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, this embodiment comprises a flat main body 31, a shelf support portion 40 protruding from one side of the main body 31 and supporting the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 of the showcase 1 (storage unit), a shelf fixing portion 50 which is bent and formed from one side of the main body 31 and presses down on the upper part of the support shaft 21 by elastic force, and a shelf support fixing portion 60 which is provided on the other side of the main body 31 and is inserted into a fixing hole 15 formed in the showcase 1 to fix the main body 31 to the showcase 1. As a result, with the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 placed on the shelf support portion 40 of the shelf support member 30 attached to the fixing member 14 of the showcase 1, the upper portion of the support shaft 21 can be fixed by the shelf fixing portion 50, which prevents the shelf 20 from falling off the shelf support member 30 when the showcase is transported. Also, there is no need to prepare a separate fixing rod or pack the shelf 20 separately, which eliminates waste.
[0024] In this embodiment, the shelf support portion 40 includes a shelf receiving portion 41 that receives the support shaft 21 , and a holding piece 43 provided at the tip of the shelf receiving portion 41 . As a result, when the shelf 20 is placed on the shelf receiving portion 41, the side portion of the support shaft 21 can be supported by the holding piece 43, and the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 can be stably supported.
[0025] In addition, in this embodiment, the shelf fixing portion 50 includes a fixing piece 51 bent downward from the main body 31, and a shelf pressing piece 52 provided at the lower end of the fixing piece 51 and abutting the upper part of the support shaft 21. With this, when the shelf 20 is installed, the shelf pressing piece 52 presses down the upper part of the support shaft 21, thereby preventing the support shaft 21 from floating up and enabling the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 to be stably supported.
[0026] In addition, in this embodiment, the shelf support fixing portion 60 is provided with an insertion portion 61 that is inserted into the fixing hole 15, and a locking piece 62 that is inserted corresponding to the cutout portion 17 formed in the fixing hole 15 and is positioned on the back side of the fixing hole 15 by rotating the main body 31. As a result, with the locking piece 62 of the shelf support fixing portion 60 and the cutout portion 17 of the fixing hole 15 corresponding to each other, the insertion portion 61 of the shelf support fixing portion 60 is inserted into the insertion hole 16 of the fixing hole 15, and then the main body 31 is rotated so that the locking piece 62 is positioned on the back side of the fixing hole 15, and the shelf support member 30 can be fixed to the fixing member 14.
[0027] (Embodiment 2) [2-1. Configuration] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a shelf support member 30 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the shelf support member 30 has a shaft support rib 44 formed on the upper surface of the shelf support portion 40 for supporting the support shaft 21 between itself and the holding piece 43. The end of the shaft support rib 44 on the side of the holding piece 43 is formed with a curved surface, and the holding piece 43 and the end of the shaft support rib 44 form a semicircular support portion 45 . [2-2. Actions and Effects] In this embodiment, the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 is held between the shaft support rib 44 and the holding piece 43 when placed on the upper surface of the shelf support portion 40 . This allows the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 to be supported more stably.
[0028] (Embodiment 3) [3-1. Configuration] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a shelf support member 30 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, a pushing protrusion 53 is provided on the upper surface side of the fixing piece 51 of the shelf fixing portion 50. The pushing protrusion 53 has a substantially triangular shape in a side view, and the upper surface of the pushing protrusion 53 is formed substantially horizontally.
[0029] [3-2. Actions and Effects] As described above, when removing the shelf 20, the fixing piece 51 of the shelf fixing portion 50 is pushed toward the main body 31, thereby moving the shelf pressing piece 52 away from the top of the support shaft 21 and moving the support shaft 21 upward. Therefore, the operation of removing the shelf 20 requires two operations: pushing and moving the fixing piece 51, and lifting the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 upward. In this embodiment, a pushing protrusion 53 is provided, and by pushing the pushing protrusion 53 downward, a downward force is applied to the fixed piece 51, and the fixed piece 51 can be deformed in a direction approaching the main body 31. As a result, when removing the shelf 20, the shelf 20 can be removed by pushing the pushing protrusion 53 downward and moving the shelf 20 upward, that is, by movements in opposite directions.
[0030] [3-3. Modifications] 8 and 9 are perspective views of the shelf support member 30 showing modified examples of the pushing protrusion 53. FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the pushing projection 53 of this modified example is formed in a plate shape extending from the surface of the fixed piece 51 in a substantially horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 9, the pushing protrusion 53 of this modified example is obtained by forming the upper surface of the pushing protrusion 53 shown in FIG. 7 into a curved shape. In either case, when removing the shelf 20, the pushing protrusion 53 is pushed downward and the shelf 20 is moved upward, which are actions in opposite directions, thereby making it possible to remove the shelf 20.
[0031] (Embodiment 4) [4-1. Configuration] Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a shelf support member 30 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the shelf support member 30 has a shaft support projection 46 formed on the upper surface of the shelf support portion 40 for supporting the support shaft 21 between itself and the holding piece 43. The shaft support projection 46 and the holding piece 43 form a semicircular support portion 45 . Further, the shelf fixing portion 50 includes an extension portion 54 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the main body 31. A fixing piece 51 is provided continuously to the tip end of the extension portion 54. Further, the shelf pressing piece 52 provided at the tip of the fixing piece 51 is formed in a flat plate shape, and the shelf pressing piece 52 is located at the upper part of the space between the shaft support projection 46 and the holding piece 43 .
[0032] [4-2. Actions and Effects] In this embodiment, by pushing the fixing piece 51 of the shelf fixing portion 50 toward the main body 31, the upper part of the support portion 45 between the shaft support protrusion 46 and the retaining piece 43 is opened, and the support shaft 21 of the shelf 20 can be inserted. When the pushing force against the shelf fixing portion 50 is released, the fixing piece 51 returns to its original position, and the shelf pressing piece 52 is positioned above the support portion 45 between the shaft support protrusion 46 and the holding piece 43. This makes it possible to prevent the support shaft 21 from floating up. In addition, in this embodiment, the extension 54 is provided, so that the movable range of the fixed piece 51 can be increased. Therefore, even if the shelf pressing piece 52 is formed in a flat plate shape, the movement of the fixed piece 51 is not hindered.
[0033] [4-3. Modifications] 11, 12 and 13 are perspective views of the shelf support member 30 showing modified examples of the fixing piece 51. FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the fixed piece 51 of this modified example is formed so that the shelf pressing piece 52 extends from the lower end of the fixed piece 51 toward the main body 31 . This modified example also provides the same functions and effects as the shelf support member 30 shown in FIG.
[0034] In the modified example shown in FIG. 12, the extending portion 54 of the shelf fixing portion 50 is formed so as to extend obliquely upward from approximately the center portion of the main body 31 in the up-down direction. The fixed piece 51 extends diagonally downward and is provided continuously to the tip of the extension 54. That is, the extension 54 and the fixed piece 51 form an inverted V shape. The shelf pressing piece 52 is the same as the example shown in FIG. In this modified example as well, by providing the extension 54, the movable range of the fixed piece 51 can be increased and the floating of the support shaft 21 can be suppressed. As shown in FIG. 13, the fixed piece 51 of this modified example is formed so that the shelf pressing piece 52 extends from the lower end of the fixed piece 51 toward the main body 31 . This modified example also provides the same functions and effects as the shelf support member 30 shown in FIG.
[0035] (Embodiment 5) [5-1. Configuration] Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a shelf support member 30 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14, in this embodiment, below the shelf support fixing portion 60 of the main body 31, a positioning protrusion 63 corresponding to the shape of the fixing hole 15 of the fixing member 14 is formed. The distance between the insertion portion 61 of the shelf support fixing portion 60 and the positioning protrusion 63 coincides with the distance between the insertion holes 16 of the fixing member 14 . [5-2. Actions and Effects] In this embodiment, with the locking piece 62 of the shelf support fixing portion 60 and the cutout portion 17 of the fixing hole 15 corresponding to each other, the insertion portion 61 is inserted into the insertion hole 16 of the fixing hole 15, and the main body 31 is rotated approximately 90 degrees. Thereafter, the main body 31 is pressed against the fixed member 14, whereby the positioning projection 63 is engaged with the insertion hole 16 located below the insertion hole 16 of the fixed member 14 into which the insertion portion 61 has been inserted. This makes it possible to fix the shelf support member 30 to the fixing member 14, and also makes it possible to prevent the shelf support member 30 from being unnecessarily rotated by the positioning protrusion 63.
