The invention has an object to provide a cold storage capable of simplifying a construction for pushing up a cooling unit and easily positioning a mounting position of the cooling unit. The cold storage includes a cooling unit integrated with a cooling box accommodating a cooler and a blower, and a compressor, a condenser and the like provided on a mounting base; a cold air discharge and a suction port formed in the bottom wall of a thermal insulating housing; fixing members having a stopper for positioning the cooling unit in a machine room such that a cold air discharge and a suction port correspond to lower sides of the first mentioned discharge and suction ports, respectively; and pushing-up members and operating arms for them, the pushing-up members causing the cooling unit to be pushed up toward the bottom wall of the thermal insulating housing by abutting against the lower surface of the mounting base on front and rear sides with respect to inserting direction of the cooling unit into the machine room.

Cold storage

An object is to provide a cold storage in which a cooling box is attached to a bottom wall of a thermal insulation box member without any trouble, cold air circulation is constituted in such a manner that cold air which has exchanged heat with a cooler is discharged into a storage chamber by an air blower via a cold air discharge port, and sucked into a cooling chamber via a cold air suction port, and the inside of the storage chamber can be cooled. A mechanical chamber is constituted under the storage chamber constituted in the thermal insulation box member, and the cold storage comprises: a cooling unit in which a cooler and a blower contained in the cooling chamber constituted in the cooling box, a compressor, a condenser and the like are arranged and integrated; and the cold air discharge port and the cold air suction port which are formed in the bottom wall of the thermal insulation box member constituting a ceiling of the mechanical chamber and which connect the inside of the storage chamber to that of the mechanical chamber. The compressor, condenser and the like are disposed on an attachment base, the cooling box is disposed on the attachment base in such a manner as to be movable to upper/lower positions, and the only cooling box is pushed up in a direction of the bottom wall.

The present invention intends to provide a cold storage in which a cooling unit constituted by integrating a compressor, an evaporator and the like is mounted on a bottom part of an insulating box, whereby processing of the cooling unit on its insulating box side is made unnecessary or minimum, and a space can also be saved. The cold storage comprises a cooling unit in which a cooling box receiving an evaporator and a blower in a cooling chamber having an opened upper surface, a compressor, a condenser and the like are integrally disposed on a mounting base; and a cold air outlet and a cold air inlet formed in a bottom wall of the insulating box which becomes a ceiling of the machine chamber to communicate the inside of the storing chamber with the inside of the machine chamber, the cooling unit being provided with a push-up mechanism which is disposed to downwardly project from the mounting base, thereby pushing up the cooling unit toward the bottom wall, and to bring the cooling box into close contact with the bottom wall, thereby communicating the cold air outlet and the cold air inlet with the inside of the cooling chamber.
