[0018] <Present embodiment> Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Each of the figures shown below is a schematic illustration. Therefore, the size and shape of each part are appropriately exaggerated to facilitate understanding. In addition, it is possible to carry out appropriate modifications within the scope of the technical idea. In each of the figures shown below, the same parts are given the same reference numerals, and some detailed explanations may be omitted. In addition, the numerical values ​​such as the dimensions of each member and the material names described in this specification are examples of the embodiment, and are not limited to these, and can be appropriately selected and used. In this specification, terms that specify shapes and geometric conditions, such as parallel, orthogonal, and vertical, are intended to include substantially the same state in addition to their strict meanings.

[0019] In the following embodiments, the "X direction" refers to a direction parallel to the frontage direction of the container with basket cart and parallel to the floor surface on which the container with basket cart is placed, and the "Y direction" refers to a direction perpendicular to the X direction and parallel to the floor surface on which the container with basket cart is placed. The "Z direction" refers to a direction parallel to the vertical direction. The "front" refers to a surface perpendicular to the floor surface facing the worker, and the "back" refers to a surface perpendicular to the floor surface facing the front. The "top" refers to a surface parallel to the floor surface and the upper side of the container with basket cart, and the "bottom" refers to a surface parallel to the floor surface and the lower side of the container with basket cart. The "side" refers to a surface perpendicular to the floor surface and the end side of the container with basket cart in the frontage direction.

[0020] 1 to 7, a container with a storage pocket, for example, a cool / heat-insulating container 10, in which an internal storage pocket (hereinafter, simply referred to as a storage pocket) according to the present embodiment is installed will be described.

[0021] The container with storage pocket, that is, the cool / heat insulated container 10 is placed on a basket cart 30, which will be described later, to form the cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A. First, the cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A will be described.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 3 to 7, such a cool / warm container 10A with a basket cart includes a basket cart 30 that travels on a floor surface F, and a cool / warm container 10 stored and held in the basket cart 30. In this case, the basket cart 30 has a basket cart body 31 including wheels 32 that travel on the floor surface F, and a side bar 33 that holds the cool / warm container 10 placed on the basket cart body 31. Here, a roll box pallet specified in JIS Z0610:1998 or a pallet with a modified size can be suitably used as the basket cart 30. Also, a metal pipe can be used as the side bar 33. A single door or double door made of a rubber band, a mesh panel, or a shelf can be used instead of the side bar 33.

[0023] The cool / warm container 10 also includes a top panel 11, a front panel 12 having a pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b, a back panel 13, a pair of side panels 14, 15, and a bottom panel 16.

[0024] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a cool / heat insulated container 10 according to the present embodiment with a front panel 12 closed, and Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the cool / heat insulated container with a front panel closed. Figs. 3 to 7 are diagrams showing the cool / heat insulated container with a basket cart according to the present embodiment.

[0025] Incidentally, the cool / heat insulated container 10A with a basket cart is used, for example, in storing or transporting medicines that need to be kept cool or warm in stores, factories, logistics processes, etc. As described above, such a cool / heat insulated container 10A with a basket cart includes the cool / heat insulated container 10 that forms a storage space 20 capable of storing medicines, and is capable of stably maintaining the temperature within the storage space 20 of the cool / heat insulated container 10 at a constant temperature range of, for example, 2°C to 8°C.

[0026] <Cooling and heating container> Next, the cool / heat-insulating container 10 will be described further with reference to Figs. 1 to 7. The cool / heat-insulating container 10 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and includes a top panel 11, a front panel 12 having a pair of openable / closable panels 12a and 12b, a back panel 13, side panels 14 and 15, and a bottom panel 16. The top panel 11, the side panel 14, the side panel 15, the back panel 13, the front panel 12, and the bottom panel 16 each have a substantially rectangular shape. The main surfaces of the front panel 12 and the back panel 13 have substantially the same size, and the main surfaces of the side panel 14 and the side panel 15 have substantially the same size. Each of the panels 11 to 16 is made of a plate-like member having rigidity as described later, and is not flexibly deformed during use.

[0027] In the cool / heat insulating container 10 having such a configuration, it is possible to form a storage space 20 for storing a load by being surrounded by the six panels 11-16. In this case, the storage space 20 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape is formed between the panels 11-16. The storage space 20 is surrounded by a heat insulating material as described below, which limits the inflow and outflow of heat from the outside and maintains heat insulation. In addition, the six panels 11-16 of the cool / heat insulating container 10 are each configured so that their peripheries are in close contact with any of the other panels 11-16, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the storage space 20.

[0028] 1 and 2, handles 17a, 17b are attached to the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b constituting the front panel 12 of the cool / warm container 10. Furthermore, sealing flaps 18a, 18b are attached to the periphery of each of the openable / closable panels 12a, 12b to improve the airtightness of the front panel 12.

[0029] Furthermore, hook-and-loop fasteners 21a, 21b are attached to the inner surfaces of the openable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel. These hook-and-loop fasteners 21a, 21b engage with locking fasteners 22a, 22b provided on the upper surface of the top panel 11 to secure the pair of openable panels 12a, 12b to the corresponding side panels 14, 15.

[0030] That is, the openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12 can be in a closed position where they are closed to each other (see FIG. 1). Furthermore, the openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12 are opened and rotate 270° in the opening direction to reach the corresponding side panels 14, 15. In this position, the hook-and-loop fasteners 21a, 21b of the openable / closable panels 12a, 12b engage with the locking fasteners 22a, 22b. This allows the openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12 to be locked to the corresponding side panels 14, 15 at a position rotated 270° in the opening direction.

[0031] Next, the panels 11 to 16 constituting the cool / heat insulating container 10 will be further described with reference to Figs. 12 to 14A and 14B.

[0032] 12 to 14A and 14B, the panels 11 to 16 constituting the cooler / heater container 10 each include an insulating panel having an insulating portion 40 including a vacuum insulating material 41, as described below (see FIG. 13). In the present embodiment, the panels 11 to 16 each include a vacuum insulating material 41, but this is not limited thereto. Some or all of the panels 11 to 16 may include an insulating material such as a foam insulating material.

[0033] Next, a further description will be given of the configuration of each of the panels 11 to 16. In the following, "the panels 11 to 16 (partial panels) are parallel (perpendicular) to a predetermined surface" means "the main surfaces of the panels 11 to 16 (partial panels) are parallel (perpendicular) to the predetermined surface".

[0034] First, the top panel 11 is a panel located on the top side (positive side in the Z direction) and is disposed parallel to the horizontal plane (XY plane).

[0035] (Front Panel) The front panel 12 is a panel located on the front side (the negative side in the Y direction) and is disposed perpendicular (parallel to the ZX plane) to the horizontal plane (the XY plane).

[0036] The front panel 12 has a pair of openable and closable panels 12a, 12b.

[0037] (Rear Panel) Rear panel 13 is a panel located on the rear side (positive side in the Y direction) and is disposed perpendicular (parallel to the ZX plane) to the horizontal plane (XY plane).

[0038] (Side Panel) The side panels 14 and 15 are disposed perpendicular (parallel to the YZ plane) to the horizontal plane (the XY plane). The side panels 14 and 15 are each made of a single plate-shaped member.

[0039] (Bottom Panel) The bottom panel 16 is a panel located on the bottom side (negative side in the Z direction) and is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane (XY plane). The bottom panel 16 is arranged on the bottom plate of the basket cart 30. The bottom panel 16 is composed of a single plate-like member. A reinforcing sheet for reinforcing the bottom panel 16 may be provided on the bottom panel 16. Each of the panels 11 to 16 constituting the cool / warm container 10 may be configured to be foldable.

[0040] (Internal structure of the panel) Next, a description will be given of the structure of each of the panels 11 to 16. Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing the heat insulating portion 40 of each of the panels 11 to 16. Figs. 14(a) and 14(b) are cross-sectional views showing the vacuum heat insulating material 41 included in the heat insulating portion 40.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 13, the insulation portion 40 of each panel 11 to 16 has a vacuum insulation material 41 having a thickness of, for example, 20 mm, a foam insulation material 42 having a thickness of, for example, 20 mm, an insulation outer periphery 43, an insulation material protection member 44 having a thickness of, for example, 10 mm, and an exterior fabric 45.

[0042] The foam insulation material 42 can be disposed adjacent to at least the side of the storage space 20 of the vacuum insulation material 41. A known foamable insulation material can be used for the foam insulation material 42, and may be, for example, polystyrene foam, polyethylene foam, or polyurethane foam. Alternatively, instead of the foam insulation material 42, plastic board (hollow structure), polypropylene Plapearl (registered trademark of Kawakami Sangyo Co., Ltd.), or polyethylene Twin Cone (registered trademark of Ube Exsymo Co., Ltd.) may be used. In this case, a hollow structure plastic board made of polypropylene or polyethylene can be used.

[0043] The heat-insulating outer periphery 43 is provided as desired and is formed to surround the vacuum insulation material 41. The heat-insulating outer periphery 43 may be made of the same material as the foam insulation material 42. In addition, a resin material with poor heat insulation properties, for example, a thin resin material of 3 mm or less, can be used for the purpose of protecting the end face of the vacuum insulation material. The heat-insulating outer periphery 43 is arranged on the foam insulation material 42 and attached to the foam insulation material 42. At this time, the heat-insulating outer periphery 43 is sealed only at the periphery, or a laminate consisting of the vacuum insulation material 41, the foam insulation material 42, the heat-insulating outer periphery 43, and the insulation material protection member 44 is wrapped around from the outside, or simply placed on the foam insulation material 42. By arranging the heat-insulating outer periphery 43 to surround the vacuum insulation material 41, the heat-insulating performance is improved compared to when the heat-insulating outer periphery 43 is not arranged. In addition, a panel configuration in which the vacuum insulation material 41 has approximately the same area as the foam insulation material 42 and does not use the heat-insulating outer periphery 43 is also possible. In this case, the insulating performance can be further improved, but since there is no insulating outer peripheral portion 43, there is a risk that the vacuum insulating material 41 may be vulnerable to tearing due to the intrusion of sharp objects from the side. Note that a small gap is formed between the insulating outer peripheral portion 43 and the vacuum insulating material 41, so that even if the size of the vacuum insulating material 41 changes slightly, the vacuum insulating material 41 can be contained within the insulating outer peripheral portion 43. This gap may be filled with a flexible foam.

[0044] The insulation protection member 44 is provided on the insulation outer periphery 43, and mainly serves to protect the vacuum insulation material 41. For example, a protection material made of an organic polymer can be used as the insulation protection member 44. The insulation protection member 44 may be made of the same material as the foam insulation material 42. If reinforcement is required to prepare for external or internal impacts that are expected depending on the use of the cold / warm container 10, a material with poor insulation properties but high strength may be used or layered on the outside and / or inside of the vacuum insulation material 41.

[0045] The exterior fabric 45 is arranged so as to wrap the entire periphery of the vacuum insulation material 41, the foam insulation material 42, the heat-insulating outer periphery 43, and the insulation material protection member 44. This exterior fabric 45 can be arranged to cover the entire vacuum insulation material 41 and the foam insulation material 42. Examples of the exterior fabric 45 include resin sheets, polyester fabrics, polyethylene fabrics, and polyester canvas. Among them, multilayer sheets containing metal foil having heat-shielding properties, and vapor deposition sheets in which a vapor deposition layer is formed on one side of a resin sheet, etc. are suitable. Other examples include multilayer sheets containing metal foil, and vapor deposition sheets in which a vapor deposition layer is formed on one side of polyester fabrics, polyethylene fabrics, and polyester canvases, etc. Such multilayer sheets include laminated sheets of polyethylene woven fabrics and aluminum vapor deposition films. In addition, the exterior fabric 45 may be a nano multilayer laminated sheet in which different types of polymer resins are laminated in nanometer units.

[0046] Next, the vacuum insulation material 41 will be further described. As shown in Fig. 14A, the vacuum insulation material 41 is composed of a core material 41a and an exterior material 41b having gas barrier properties, and is an insulation material obtained by reducing the pressure inside the exterior material 41b. Fig. 14B shows another example of the vacuum insulation material 41. In Fig. 14A, voids are formed at both ends inside the vacuum insulation material 41, but in Fig. 14B, no voids are formed. The voids may or may not be formed depending on the manufacturing method of the vacuum insulation material 41.

[0047] The core material 41a may be made of a material that is used as the core material of conventionally known vacuum insulation materials, and may be, for example, a porous material such as a powder such as silica, a foam such as a urethane polymer, or a fibrous material such as glass wool.

[0048] The exterior material 41b is a member that covers the outer periphery of the core material 41a, and may be a flexible sheet in which a heat-sealed layer and a gas barrier layer are laminated in this order from the core material. The gas barrier layer may be a metal foil, a vapor deposition sheet in which a vapor deposition layer is formed on one side of a resin sheet, or the like. The metal foil may be made of aluminum, for example. The vapor deposition layer may be made of aluminum, aluminum oxide, or silicon oxide, for example.

[0049] Of these, the vacuum insulation material 41 is attached to the foam insulation material 42. This vacuum insulation material 41 is composed of a core material 41a and an exterior material 41b provided around the core material 41a. The foam insulation material 42 is arranged on the storage space 20 side of the vacuum insulation material 41 (upper side in FIG. 13). That is, the insulation material protection member 44 is made of the same material as the foam insulation material 42. This can reduce the risk of the vacuum insulation material 41 being damaged when it is hit by a load placed in the storage space 20. On the other hand, the foam insulation material 42 is arranged on the opposite side to the storage space 20 (lower side in FIG. 13). This can reduce the risk of the vacuum insulation material 41 being damaged by an external impact.

[0050] Meanwhile, a heat transfer plate (also called a heat transfer body) 25 made of, for example, an aluminum plate is attached to the inner surface of the cool / heat-insulating container 10. Specifically, the heat transfer plate 25 is attached to the inner surface of the back panel 13 of the cool / heat-insulating container 10, the inner surfaces of the pair of side panels 14, 15, and the inner surface of the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12 via double-sided tape 25A (see FIG. 8). The material of the heat transfer plate 25 is not limited to aluminum, and gold, silver, copper, zinc, beryllium, alloys thereof, diamond-like carbon, graphite sheet, etc. can be used. Aluminum is preferably used because of its high heat conductivity, low cost, and light weight.

[0051] Heat transfer plate 25 is preferably an aluminum plate with a thickness of 0.8 mm and made of A1100 material, which has high thermal conductivity, for example, 0.22 kW / m K. The surface of the aluminum plate is anodized to prevent corrosion. Heat transfer plate 25 may be attached directly to the inner surface of rear panel 13, the inner surfaces of the pair of side panels 14, 15, and the inner surfaces of the pair of openable panels 12a, 12b of front panel 12 without using double-sided tape 25A.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 12, the heat transfer plate 25 is installed on the entire inner surface of the rear panel 13, the entire inner surface of the pair of side panels 14, 15, and the entire inner surface of the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12, except for the upper edge region 26 and the side edge region 27.

[0053] In this case, the lower edge of the heat transfer plate 25 is substantially aligned with the lower edges of the rear panel 13, the pair of side panels 14, 15, and the pair of openable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel.

[0054] In addition, the heat transfer plate 25 may be installed over the entire inner surface of the rear panel 13, the entire inner surface of the pair of side panels 14, 15, and the entire inner surface of the pair of openable and closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12, without leaving the upper edge region 26 or the side edge region 27.

[0055] In this way, by installing the heat transfer plate 25 on the inner surface of the rear panel 13, the inner surface of the pair of side panels 14, 15, and the inner surface of the pair of openable and closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12, respectively, the heat present in the storage space 20 of the cool / heat-insulating container 10 or the heat of the cool / heat-insulating material 50 can be reliably transferred in the vertical direction by the heat transfer plate 25. This makes it possible to effectively conduct heat in the vertical direction in the storage space 20 of the cool / heat-insulating container 10. This makes it possible to effectively reduce the temperature difference (temperature unevenness) between the upper position and the lower position in the storage space 20. Also, instead of the heat transfer plate 25 made of an aluminum plate, other heat transfer bodies, for example, metal rods and metal mesh structures, may be used. The heat transfer material preferably has a thermal conductivity of 0.1 kW / m·K or more, more preferably 0.2 kW / m·K or more, and is not limited to metallic heat transfer materials, but may be non-metallic heat transfer materials such as graphite sheets, carbon sheets, and carbon fiber mesh structures. For example, carbon materials with a thermal conductivity of 0.1 kW / m·K, aluminum materials with a thermal conductivity of 0.2 kW / m·K, and copper materials with a thermal conductivity of 0.4 kW / m·K can be used as heat transfer materials.

[0056] Furthermore, in the cold and heat insulation container 10, a cold and heat insulation material 50 is installed on the inner surface of each of the top panel 11, the back panel 13, and the pair of side panels 14, 15. In this manner, the cold and heat insulation material 50 is installed, thereby making it possible to appropriately maintain the temperature of the storage space 20. Also, by installing the cold and heat insulation material 50 on the inner surface of the heat transfer plate 25, the cold and heat insulation material 50 comes into contact with the air in the storage space 20, so that the temperature of the storage space 20 can be efficiently adjusted and maintained.

[0057] Next, the installation structure of the cold and heat insulating material 50 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 7, 8 and 9.

[0058] A cold / heat insulating material 50 is attached directly to the inner surface of the top panel 11 of the cold / heat insulating container 10, and cold / heat insulating material 50 is attached to the inner surfaces of the back panel 13 and the pair of side panels 14, 15 via heat transfer plates 25.

[0059] As shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the heat transfer plate 25 is installed on the inner surface of the back panel 13 and the pair of side panels 14, 15 by the double-sided tape 25A as described above, and a plurality of strip-shaped hook-and-loop fasteners 51 extending in the vertical direction are provided on the heat transfer plate 25. The strip-shaped hook-and-loop fasteners 51 attach a storage pocket 52 having two stacked storage sections 52A, 52B. A 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material (weight 0.3 kgf) 55A is stored in the storage section 52A, and a 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material (weight 1 kgf) 55B is stored in the storage section 52B. The hook-and-loop fasteners 51 may be attached to the panels 11, 13, 14, 15 by using an adhesive member 51a such as a double-sided tape, adhesive, or pressure sensitive adhesive, or may be further combined with rivets (see Fig. 8). In this case, the risk of the hook-and-loop fasteners 51 and the storage pockets 52 falling off can be reduced. If the heat transfer plate 25 is not provided, they may be directly sewn.

[0060] In addition, a plurality of band-shaped hook-and-loop fasteners 51 extending horizontally are provided on the inner surface of the top panel 11. A storage pocket 52 having two stacked storage sections 52A, 52B is attached by the band-shaped hook-and-loop fasteners 51. A 5°C-class cold and heat insulating material 55A is stored in the storage section 52A, and a 0°C-class cold and heat insulating material 55B is stored in the storage section 52B. Since the heat transfer plate 25 is not provided on the top panel 11, the storage pocket 52 may be attached by sewing directly to the exterior fabric 45 of the top panel 11. In this case, the risk of the storage pocket 52 falling off can be reduced.

[0061] The storage pocket 52 including the storage sections 52A and 52B is made of a woven fabric, mesh material, or nonwoven fabric made of synthetic resin fibers, and the storage pocket 52 can be easily fastened to the inner wall of the cooler / heat-insulating container 10 by the belt-shaped hook-and-loop fastener 51. The storage pocket 52 may be formed using a material similar to the exterior material 41b or the exterior fabric 45. When a material equivalent to the exterior material 41b is used as the storage pocket 52, an aluminum-deposited film can be used, and when a material equivalent to the exterior fabric 45 is used, a laminate of an aluminum-deposited film and a polyethylene woven fabric can be used. By reusing the same material in various places in this way, it is possible to reduce the cost of procuring materials. The storage pocket 52 may be fastened by a hook and eyelet structure without using the hook-and-loop fastener 51. The storage pocket 52 may be attached directly to the inner surface of each panel 11, 14, 15 by using rivets or the like in the case of a panel having an aluminum heat transfer plate 25, or by sewing in the case of a panel not having an aluminum heat transfer plate 25 and in which the exterior fabric 45 is exposed.

[0062] Next, the storage pocket (container storage pocket) 52 according to this embodiment having two stacked storage sections 52A, 52B will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 16A to 16D.

[0063] As described above, a strip-shaped hook-and-loop fastener 51 is provided on the inner surfaces of the rear panel 13, the pair of side panels 14, 15 and the top panel 11, and a storage pocket 52 having two stacked storage sections 52A, 52B is attached to this strip-shaped hook-and-loop fastener 51.

[0064] 16A is a plan view showing the storage pocket 52, FIG. 16B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 16A, FIG. 16C is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 16A, and FIG. 16D is a perspective view showing the storage pocket 52. As shown in FIG.

[0065] 16A to 16D, the storage pocket 52 includes two stacked storage sections 52A, 52B, as well as a support sheet 52C that supports the two storage sections 52A, 52B. Each storage pocket 52 is attached to each panel 11, 13, 14, 15 by the support sheet 52C via a strip-shaped hook-and-loop fastener 51. The storage section 52A of the storage pocket 52 has a first opening 61A that opens to one side of the storage pocket 52 (for example, the left side in FIG. 16B), and the storage section 52B has a second opening 61B that opens to the other side of the storage pocket 52 (for example, the right side in FIG. 16B).

[0066] Further, the first opening 61A of the storage section 52A is locked by a first locking portion 63A, and the second opening 61B of the storage section 52B is locked by a second locking portion 63B.

[0067] 16A to 16D, a first opening 61A of a storage section 52A (first storage section 52A) and a second opening 61B of a storage section 52B (second storage section 52B) of the storage pocket 52 face in directions different from each other by 180°. Also, the internal volume of the first storage section 52A of the storage pocket 52 is smaller than the internal volume of the second storage section 52B.

[0068] In addition, the first locking portion 63A that locks the first opening 61A of the storage pocket 52 and the second locking portion 63B that locks the second opening 61B both have hook-and-loop fasteners. Of these, the first locking portion 63A is provided along the entire length of the first opening 61A extending in the vertical direction of the storage portion 52A in Fig. 16A, and the first locking portion 63A engages with the storage portion 52A by the hook-and-loop fastener over the entire length of the first opening 61A to lock the first opening 61A.

[0069] On the other hand, the second locking portion 63B is provided only at the center of the second opening 61B of the storage portion 52B extending in the up-down direction in Fig. 16. The second locking portion 63B is engaged with only the center of the second opening 61B by the hook-and-loop fastener to lock the second opening 61B.

[0070] In order to remove the first locking portion 63A from the first opening 61A, it is necessary to remove the first locking portion 63A over the entire length of the first opening 61A, and the work of removing the first locking portion 63A and opening the first opening 61A is complicated. Therefore, the first locking portion 63A of the storage portion 52A can be said to be a locking portion that is difficult to open.

[0071] On the other hand, in order to remove the second locking portion 63B from the second opening 61B, the second locking portion 63B is removed only from the center of the second opening 61B, and the work of removing the second locking portion 63B and opening the second opening 61B is relatively easy. Therefore, the second locking portion 63B of the storage portion 52B can also be said to be an easily openable locking portion.

[0072] Next, the installation structure of the storage pockets 52 provided on the panels 11, 13, 14, and 15 will be described.

[0073] Four storage pockets 52 are provided on the top panel 11. In each of these storage pockets 52 on the top panel 11, the first openings 61A of the first storage sections 52A all face the side opposite to the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12, i.e., the rear panel 13 side, and the second openings 61B of the second storage sections 52B all face the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b side of the front panel 12 (see Figs. 15A and 15B). In this way, in each storage pocket 52 on the top panel 11, since the second storage section 52B faces the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b side, an operator can easily and simply put in and take out the 0°C-class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B from the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b side into the second storage section 52B.

[0074] That is, since the second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B is engaged by the easily openable second engaging portion 63B, an operator can easily remove the second engaging portion 63B of the second opening 61B from the side of the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b, and after removing the second engaging portion 63B, the 0°C class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B can be easily inserted into and removed from the second storage section 52B through the second opening 61B.

[0075] As described above, among the storage pockets 52 installed on the top panel 11, the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A faces the rear panel 13, and the first opening 61A is engaged by the difficult-to-open first engaging section 63A.

[0076] A 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material (first material) 55A is stored in advance in the first storage section 52A of the storage pocket 52. This 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material (first material) 55A is always taken in and out of the first storage section 52A and is not frequently replaced.

[0077] In this way, the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A faces the opposite side to the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b and is locked by the difficult-to-open first locking section 63A, thereby preventing an operator from accidentally putting 0°C-class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B into or removing it from the first storage section 52A by mistake, thinking it is the second storage section 52B.

[0078] Each of the side panels 14, 15 has four storage pockets 52 arranged vertically. In each of the storage pockets 52 on each of the side panels 14, 15, the first openings 61A of the first storage sections 52A all face the side opposite to the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12, i.e., the rear panel 13 side, and the second openings 61B of the second storage sections 52B all face the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b side of the front panel 12 (see Figs. 15A and 15B). In this way, in each of the storage pockets 52 on the side panels 14, 15, the second storage sections 52B face the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b side, so that the worker can easily and simply put in and take out the 0°C-class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B from the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b side of the second storage section 52B.

[0079] That is, since the second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B is engaged by the easily openable second engaging portion 63B, an operator can easily remove the second engaging portion 63B of the second opening 61B from the side of the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b, and after removing the second engaging portion 63B, the 0°C class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B can be easily inserted into and removed from the second storage section 52B through the second opening 63B.

[0080] Among the storage pockets 52 installed on the side panels 14, 15, the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A faces the rear panel 13, and the first opening 61A is locked by a first locking portion 63A that is difficult to open.

[0081] A 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material (first material) 55A is stored in advance in the first storage section 52A of the storage pocket 52. This 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material (first material) 55A is always taken in and out of the first storage section 52A and is not frequently replaced.

[0082] In this way, the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A faces the opposite side to the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b and is locked by the difficult-to-open first locking section 63A, thereby preventing an operator from accidentally putting 0°C-class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B into or removing it from the first storage section 52A by mistake, thinking it is the second storage section 52B.

[0083] In addition, four storage pockets 52 are arranged in two rows in the vertical direction on the rear panel 13. In each of these storage pockets 52 on the rear panel 13, the first openings 61A of the first storage sections 52A are all located on the opposite side to the insertion / removal area 65 and face the non-insertion / removal area 67 which is narrower than the insertion / removal area 65, and the second openings 61B of the second storage sections 52B all face the relatively large insertion / removal area 65 side (see Figs. 15A and 15B). In this way, in each storage pocket 52 on the rear panel 13, the second storage sections 52B face the relatively large insertion / removal area 65 side inside the storage space 20, so that the worker can easily and simply insert and remove the 0°C-class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B into and from the insertion / removal area 65 side of the storage space 20.

[0084] In other words, since the second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B is engaged by the easily-openable second engaging portion 63B, the worker can easily remove the second engaging portion 63B of the second opening 61B from the loading / unloading area 65 side, and after removing the second engaging portion 63B, the 0°C class cold and heat insulating material 55B can be easily inserted into and removed from the second storage section 52B through the second opening 61B.

[0085] In addition, the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A of the storage pocket 52 installed on the back panel 13 faces the non-removal area 67 opposite the removal and insertion area 65, and the first opening 61A is engaged by a first engaging section 63A that is difficult to open.

[0086] A 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material (first material) 55A is stored in advance in the first storage section 52A of the storage pocket 52. This 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material (first material) 55A is always present in the first storage section 52A and is not frequently replaced.

[0087] In this way, the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A faces the non-removal area 67 opposite the removal / removal area 65, and is locked by the difficult-to-open first locking portion 63A, thereby preventing an operator from mistakenly removing or putting in / out the 0°C-class cold and heat insulating material (second material) 55B into the first storage section 52A by mistake, thinking it is the second storage section 52B.

[0088] Next, the 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55A and the 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B stored in the storage pocket 52 will be described.

[0089] As described above, the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A is stored in the storage section 52A of the storage pocket 52, and the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B is stored in the storage section 52B. Of these, the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A has a melting point of 5°C, and the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B has a melting point of 0°C. In this embodiment, the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A is disposed inside the storage space 20 of the cold insulation and heat insulation container 10 with respect to the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B, and is usually fixed and installed without being removed. On the other hand, the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B is disposed on the panel 11, 13, 14, 15 side with respect to the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A, and is installed as desired.

[0090] For this reason, the 5°C class cold and heat insulating material 55A can be called a fixed cold and heat insulating material, and the 0°C class cold and heat insulating material 55B can be called an additional cold and heat insulating material.

[0091] As described above, the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A is a fixed cold insulation material, and the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B is an additional cold insulation material. In this case, the multi-layer cold insulation material 50A is formed by stacking the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A and the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B, and the single-layer cold insulation material 50B is formed by only arranging the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A.

[0092] The cold insulation and heat insulation material 50 includes the multi-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50A and the single-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50B. By providing the multi-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50A or the single-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50B including the fixed cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A in this way, the work of removing and replacing the fixed cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A can be omitted. In addition, since the additional cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B having a low melting point faces the heat transfer plate 25, heat can be efficiently absorbed or released through the heat transfer plate 25. In addition, it is possible to prevent the additional cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B, which has been cooled in advance to a temperature lower than the target temperature of, for example, 2°C to 8°C, from directly contacting the load.

[0093] <Operation of this embodiment> The operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described below. First, the operation of the present embodiment in which an aluminum plate is provided inside the cool / heat insulation container 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 15A to 15C.

[0094] As shown in Figures 15A to 15C, the cool and heat insulating container 10 of this embodiment has a heat transfer plate 25 provided on the inner surface of each of the front panel 12 having a pair of openable and closable panels 12a, 12b, the back panel 13 and a pair of side panels 14, 15, and further has a storage pocket 52 attached to the back panel 13, the pair of side panels 14, 15 and the top panel 11. Inside this storage pocket 52, a cool and heat insulating material 50 having a 5°C class cool and heat insulating material 55A and a 0°C class cool and heat insulating material 55B is stored.

[0095] In this case, as described later, the 5° C. class cold / heat insulating material 55A is inserted or removed in advance, and the 0° C. class cold / heat insulating material 55B is inserted or removed later as desired.

[0096] The second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B of the storage pocket 52 provided on each panel 11, 13, 14, 15 faces the openable / closable panels 12a, 12b or the insertion / removal area 65. The second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B is locked by an easily openable second locking portion 63B. Therefore, an operator can easily remove the second locking portion 63B of the second opening 61B, and can easily and simply insert and remove the 0°C class cold and heat insulating material 55B into and from the second storage section 52B through the second opening 61B from which the second locking portion 63B has been removed.

[0097] Also, first opening 61A of first storage section 52A faces the side opposite to openable / closable panels 12a, 12b, or faces non-removable area 67 opposite to removable area 65. Also, since first opening 61A of first storage section 52A is locked by hard-to-open first locking section 63A, an operator will not mistakenly put 0° C. class cold / heat insulating material 55B into or take it out of first storage section 52A.

[0098] In this case, the 0°C class refrigerated and heated material 55B is pre-cooled to approximately -23°C and frozen, and the 5°C class refrigerated and heated material 55A is cooled from room temperature to 5°C in a warehouse at a temperature of 5°C or by the 0°C class refrigerated and heated material 55B.

[0099] In this way, the inside of the cool / heat insulation container 10 can initially be maintained in a constant temperature range of, for example, 2° C. to 8° C. Thereafter, the temperature inside the cool / heat insulation container 10 gradually rises over time (see FIG. 15C).

[0100] However, as shown in Fig. 15C, the cool / warm container 10 has the heat transfer plate 25 provided on the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b, the back panel 13, and the pair of side panels 14, 15, so that the heat in the storage space 20 can be effectively transferred in the vertical direction by the heat transfer plate 25. This makes it possible to keep the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the storage space 20 within a range of 0.3°C.

[0101] Next, a method of using the cool / warm insulation container with basket cart 10A according to this embodiment in summer will be described with reference to Figs. 17A to 17D.

[0102] First, a cold / heat insulation container with basket cart 10A including the basket cart 30 and the cold / heat insulation container 10 according to this embodiment is prepared (see FIG. 17A). Next, the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12 of the cold / heat insulation container 10 are opened.

[0103] Next, as shown in FIG. 17B, the cold and heat insulating material 50 is stored in the storage pocket 52 provided in the cold and heat insulating container 10. Specifically, among all the storage pockets 52, the 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55A is stored in advance at room temperature in the storage section 52A on the storage space 20 side. Next, the 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B is put in and taken out of the storage section 52B of the storage pocket 52. At this time, the 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B is cooled to a temperature of −23° C. and frozen in advance. The 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B is put in and taken out only from the storage section 52B of the desired storage pocket 52. That is, the 0°C class cold and heat insulating material 55B is put in and taken out of storage sections 52B of a total of four storage pockets 52: two storage pockets 52 on the front panel 12 side of the four storage pockets 52 on the top panel 11, the upper three storage pockets 52 of the four storage pockets 52 on the side panel 14, the upper three storage pockets 52 of the four storage pockets 52 on the side panel 15, and the second-lowest and fourth-lowest rows of the 2-row x 4-tier storage pockets 52 on the back panel 13.

[0104] As described above, multi-layer cold and heat insulating material 50A is composed of 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55A and 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B, and single-layer cold and heat insulating material 50B is composed of a single layer of 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55A.

[0105] For this reason, in storage pocket 52 in which 0°C class cold insulation material 55B is further inserted or removed from storage section 52B in addition to 5°C class cold insulation material 55A which has already been inserted or removed from storage section 52A of storage pocket 52, a multi-layer cold insulation material 50A is formed, while in storage pocket 52 in which 0°C class cold insulation material 55B is not stored but the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A which has been inserted or removed from storage section 52A is left as it is, and a single-layer cold insulation material 50B is formed.

[0106] Next, as shown in FIG. 17C, cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A is transported to a warehouse with a temperature of 5° C. Next, with pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b open, cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A is left in the warehouse with a temperature of 5° C. for one hour. In this case, during this one hour, 5° C. class cool / heat insulated material 55A is cooled to 5° C. in the warehouse with a temperature of 5° C. To be precise, the temperature of the 5° C. warehouse rises temporarily during the process of transporting cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A, so that cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A is left for one hour after it has reached a constant temperature of 5° C., whereby 5° C. class cool / heat insulated material 55A is cooled to 5° C.

[0107] At this time, in the multi-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50A, in addition to being cooled in the warehouse at 5° C., the 0° C. class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B, which has been cooled to −23° C. in advance, rapidly cools the 5° C. class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A from room temperature to 5° C. On the other hand, in the case of the single-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50B, it is cooled to 5° C. while waiting in the warehouse at 5° C.

[0108] In this case, since the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B has a weight of 1kgf and the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A has a weight of 0.3kgf, the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A can be quickly cooled to 5°C and will not drop below 5°C.

[0109] In other words, if the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A has a weight of, for example, 0.5 kgf or more, the relative weight and thickness of the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B when the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A and the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B have approximately the same area will be smaller accordingly, for example, the relative weight and thickness of the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B when the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A and the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B are approximately 200 x 300 mm, and it will take time for the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B to cool the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A to 5°C. On the other hand, if the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A has a weight of 0.1 kgf or less, the relative weight and thickness of the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B when the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A and the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B have almost the same area, for example, when the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A and the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B are about 200 x 300 mm, the relative weight and thickness of the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B become large, so that the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A is supercooled to 5°C or less. Therefore, it is preferable that the weight of the 5°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A is 10% to 50% (0.1 kgf to 0.5 kgf) of the weight (1 kgf) of the 0°C class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B. Specifically, the 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B may have a capacity of 1000 gf, a total weight of 1180 gf (including the case), and external dimensions of 180×280×29 mm (including the case). Also, as the 5°C class cold and heat insulating material 55A, one having a content of 300 gf, a total weight of 316 gf (including the bag), and an outer dimension of 200 x 300 x 9 mm (including the sealed portion) can be used.

[0110] Next, as shown in FIG. 17D, in a warehouse at 5° C., a stack S such as a cardboard box containing contents such as medicines is placed into the storage space 20 of the cool / warm container 10 through a pair of open / close panels 12a, 12b, and then the pair of open / close panels 12a, 12b are closed and the container is transported from the warehouse at 5° C. to a room temperature environment.

[0111] Next, the cool / heat insulation container 10A with the basket cart is loaded as it is onto a transport vehicle such as a truck and transported. The cool / heat insulation container 10 may be removed from the basket cart 30 and only the cool / heat insulation container 10 may be transported by the transport vehicle.

[0112] Next, a method for using the cool / warm insulation container with basket cart 10A according to this embodiment in winter will be described with reference to Figs. 18A to 18D.

[0113] First, a cold / heat insulation container with basket cart 10A including the basket cart 30 and the cold / heat insulation container 10 according to this embodiment is prepared (see FIG. 18A). Next, the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b of the front panel 12 of the cold / heat insulation container 10 are opened.

[0114] Next, as shown in FIG. 18B, the cold and heat insulating material 50 is stored in the storage pocket 52 provided in the cold and heat insulating container 10. Specifically, of all the storage pockets 52, the 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55A is stored in advance at room temperature in the storage section 52A on the storage space 20 side. Then, the 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B is put in and taken out of the storage section 52B of the storage pocket 52. At this time, the 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B is cooled to a temperature of −23° C. in advance and frozen. The 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B is put in and taken out only in the storage section 52B of the desired storage pocket 52. That is, the 0°C class cold and heat insulating material 55B is put in and taken out of storage sections 52B of a total of two storage pockets 52: the upper two of the four storage pockets 52 on the side panel 14, the upper two of the four storage pockets 52 on the side panel 15, and the third row from the bottom of the 2 rows x 4 rows of storage pockets 52 on the back panel 13.

[0115] As described above, multi-layer cold and heat insulating material 50A is composed of 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55A and 0° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55B, and single-layer cold and heat insulating material 50B is composed of a single layer of 5° C. class cold and heat insulating material 55A.

[0116] For this reason, in storage pocket 52 in which 0°C class cold insulation material 55B is further inserted or removed from storage section 52B in addition to 5°C class cold insulation material 55A which has already been inserted or removed from storage section 52A of storage pocket 52, a multi-layer cold insulation material 50A is formed, while in storage pocket 52 in which 0°C class cold insulation material 55B is not stored but the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A which has been inserted or removed from storage section 52A is left as it is, and a single-layer cold insulation material 50B is formed.

[0117] 18C, the cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A is carried to a warehouse with a temperature of 5° C. Next, with the pair of openable / closable panels 12a, 12b open, the cool / heat insulated container with basket cart 10A is left in the warehouse with a temperature of 5° C. for one hour.

[0118] At this time, in the multi-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50A, in addition to being cooled in the warehouse at a temperature of 5° C., the 5° C. class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A is cooled by the 0° C. class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55B, which has been cooled to −23° C. in advance, and the 5° C. class cold insulation and heat insulation material 55A is rapidly cooled from room temperature to 5° C. On the other hand, in the case of the single-layer cold insulation and heat insulation material 50B, it is cooled to 5° C. while waiting in the warehouse at 5° C.

[0119] In this case, since the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B has a weight of 1kgf and the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A has a weight of 0.3kgf, the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A can be quickly cooled to 5°C and will not drop below 5°C.

[0120] Next, as shown in FIG. 18D, in a warehouse at 5° C., a stack S consisting of cardboard boxes or the like containing contents such as medicines is placed into the storage space 20 of the cool / warm container 10 through a pair of open / close panels 12a, 12b, and then the pair of open / close panels 12a, 12b are closed and the container is transported from the warehouse at 5° C. to a room temperature environment.

[0121] Next, the cool / heat insulation container 10A with the basket cart is loaded as it is onto a transport vehicle such as a truck and transported. The cool / heat insulation container 10 may be removed from the basket cart 30 and only the cool / heat insulation container 10 may be transported onto the transport vehicle.

[0122] <Modification> Next, a modified example of this embodiment will be described. In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which a storage pocket 52 is installed in the cold insulation container 10, and a 5°C class cold insulation material 55A and a 0°C class cold insulation material 55B are inserted and removed from the storage pocket 52. Instead of the 5°C class cold insulation material 55A and the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B, a water supply material for absorbing condensation made of nonwoven fabric or felt sponge may be inserted and removed from the storage pocket 52, a thermal buffer material made of PE foam, aluminum vapor deposition fabric material, or urethane foam may be inserted and removed from the storage pocket 52, or an ethylene gas absorption and decomposition material may be inserted and removed from the storage pocket 52. In addition, an example is shown in which a 5°C class cold insulation material 55A is used as the first material and a 0°C class cold insulation material 55B is used as the second material, but the first material or the second material is not limited to the 5°C class cold insulation material or the 0°C class cold insulation material 55B.

[0123] Further, the storage pocket 52 has two storage sections 52A and 52B stacked on top of each other, but the storage pocket 52 may have three or four storage sections stacked on top of each other.

[0124] Furthermore, the first storage section 52A and the second storage section 52B of the storage pocket 52 have the first opening 61A and the second opening 61B facing in directions different from each other by 180° in the example shown, but the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A and the second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B may face in directions different from each other by 90°. Alternatively, the facing direction of the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A and the facing direction of the second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B may differ from each other by any angle between 0° and 180°. For example, the second opening 61B of the second storage section 52B may face upward or toward the open / close panels 12a, 12b, where it is relatively easy to insert and remove the 0°C class cold / heat insulating material 55B, and the first opening 61A of the first storage section 52A may face downward or toward the opposite side to the open / close panels 12a, 12b, where it is relatively difficult to insert and remove the 5°C class warm / cold insulating material 55A.

[0125] It is also possible to combine the multiple components disclosed in the above embodiment and modified examples as necessary. Alternatively, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the above embodiment and modified examples. [Explanation of symbols]
