Circulating cold air intake ports 28 for sucking air after cooling the air (this is referred to as circulating cold air) are arranged in parallel on one wall, and a drain pan 29A is disposed below.
4 and a second machine room 29 that is adiabatically defined. The machine box 20 is disposed in an unused space S formed by the leg members T in order to make it difficult to see from the outside, especially from the customer exhibition side of the display case G.

The display box 10 has a substantially spherical shape, and a base 11 that forms the substantially lower half and is substantially circular in top view.
and a product storage section 12, which constitutes the upper half and also serves as a cooling chamber, and is placed on the top of the display case G in this example.

The base 11 has a ventilation chamber 13 at the upper level and a lighting chamber 14 at the lower level, and both chambers 13 and 14 are partitioned by a transparent plate 15 having a circular shape when viewed from the top with translucency and heat insulation properties. are doing. The ventilation chamber 13 includes a high-pressure section 16 that introduces the cold air carried through the blast pipe 30 and guides the cold air to the product storage section 12, and a low-pressure section 17 that collects the circulating cold air and guides it to the blast pipe 30. It is divided into separate sections.

As an example of this ventilation chamber 13, a columnar tube 41 as a cold air blowing section that protrudes upward from the approximate center of the base 11 and has a plurality of blowing holes 40 formed on the side surface is provided in the high pressure section 16, and a columnar tube 41 is provided as a cold air blowing section, which will be described later. forming a cold air inlet 42 communicating with the supply tube 31;
The low pressure section 17 also serves as a product placement plate, and the columnar tube 41
The top surface of the turntable 44 is formed by a turntable 44 as an exhibition plate, which has a through hole 43 for penetrating it, is rotatably supported, and is made of a transparent material such as resin, and the outer edge of the turntable 44 and the partition plate 45 Circulating cold air is sucked in through the gap between the turntable and the suction port formed in the turntable, and the circulating cold air is guided to the return pipe 32 of the blower pipe 30, which will be described later, through the circulating cold air outlet arranged in parallel with the cold air inlet 42. The members constituting the high pressure section 16 and the low pressure section 17 are made of a transparent material, such as a milky white resin that is difficult to see through.

Further, the illumination chamber 14 has an illumination lamp, for example, a fluorescent lamp 46, which is part of an annular illumination device formed with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the circle of the transparent plate 15, in a translucent resin constituting the outer shape of the base 11. It is disposed approximately at the center of the main body 11A formed by using the same method. As the transparent plate 15, a multi-layer (in this example, three layers) glass is used in which a plurality of transparent glasses (three in this example) are arranged in parallel at intervals.

On the other hand, the product storage section 12 is surrounded by a hood 50 as a see-through member that has a substantially hemispherical shape and is made of a see-through material such as transparent resin, and this hood 50 is attached to the base 11 by a hinge portion 51. It is rotatably mounted. Further, the product storage section 12 is opened and closed by rotating the hood 50. Furthermore, a sealing member 52 having elasticity is disposed around the entire lower end of the hood 50 to maintain airtightness and absorb shock when the hood 50 is closed. Then, a container 53 (hereinafter referred to as a beverage container) filled with a beverage such as a drink for sale such as Ju-Use is placed on the turntable 44 , and the inside of the product storage section and the beverage container 53 are heated by the cold air blown out from the high-pressure section 16 . Display while cooling.

In rural areas, the blow pipe 30 has one end connected to the cold air outlet 27.
A supply cylinder 31 is connected at its other end to the cold air inlet 42 of the high pressure section 16 to adiabatically circulate cold air, and one end is connected to the circulating cold air inlet 28 and the other end is connected to the circulating cold air outlet of the low pressure section 17, respectively. It consists of a return cylinder 32 connected to each other and through which circulating cold air flows, preferably both cylinders 31 and 3.
