Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a distribution container for conveying perishable foods, and relates, more particularly, to a foldable distribution container for conveying perishable foods that can be easily folded, that is excellent in cold-temperature retention (insulation and cooling effect), and that can be re-utilized.
  • packaging containers having various shapes, functions, performance, and materials are used for perishable foods at present, from the needs of cold-temperature retention and protection from shock.
  • corrugated cardboard containers have generally been used as packaging containers for distributing livestock products. This is for the purpose of protecting the frozen contents from external shocks and for distributing the contents in lots.
  • the cool keeping of the contents is achieved through keeping of the contents in cold storage and distribution of the contents by refrigerator car.
  • the corrugated cardboard containers once used are not utilized again, as these containers are easily broken and stained, or as the cost of manufacturing these containers is low.
  • the once-used containers are disposed as waste at the retailer side or the consumer side.
  • EPS(expandable polystyrene) containers are generally used as containers for distributing marine products. The purpose of this is similar to the above. The cool keeping is achieved by similar means to the above. In addition, excellent heat insulation performance of EPS is utilized. In many cases, after ice or a cold insulator is inserted into the container, the contents of fresh fish are accommodated. However, bacteria are easily propagated in micro pores of a porous material composition that is a unique characteristic of EPS. Therefore, usually, the EPS container is utilized repeatedly by two or three times in many cases. Thereafter, the used EPS container is disposed as waste at the retail side or the consumer side, like the corrugated cardboard container.
  • Containers having various shapes have already been provided as distribution containers that can be re-utilized, such as, distribution containers like return boxes, for example.
  • distribution containers like return boxes
  • the corrugated cardboard containers and EPS containers use various kinds of materials and have various kinds of structures and durability, by reflecting the variety of the contents accommodated in these containers. Further, usually most of them are distributed in one way from producers to consumers, or used repeatedly by a few times, and are then disposed as industrial waste or combustible waste. The amount of the used packaging containers that are disposed as waste is huge, judging from the amount of perishable foods that are daily consumed. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the waste from the viewpoint of global resource protection and environmental protection, and this requirement has been enhanced recently. However, because of the variety in functions and performance required for the packaging containers as described above, standardization and common use of the containers have not yet been realized. As a result, only the problems have been made clear.

Temperatures of the inside of each container along the lapse of time(0 to 8 hours)are measured with a self-recording thermometer in the room at a normal temperature (22°C). As a result, data showing temperature changes(a vertical axis) along the lapse of time (a horizontal axis) as shown in FIG. 13 has been obtained.

  • the synthetic resin container provided with air layers particularly, the container C1a
  • the container C1a has heat insulation and cooling effect, and has no propagation of bacteria, as the inner wall surface is smooth. Further, this container has a high practical value, as this container can be re-utilized. It is also possible to provide three or more air layers in the structures. However, this leads to an increase in manufacturing cost along the complexity of the structures. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of heat insulation and cooling effect, it is preferable to form the above-described two-layer structures.
  • the layer thickness of 8 mm is preferable to 5 mm.
  • the practical range of the layer thickness is 4 to 12 mm, and most preferably, 8 mm. This is because the heat insulation and cooling effect becomes lower when the layer thickness is equal to or less than 3 mm. Also, the heat insulation and cooling effect similarly becomes lower when the layer thickness is equal to or larger than 13 mm, because of the generation of convection inside the air layers.

It is so structured that a slider 33 is slid along a vertical distance between an upper sheath portion 31A and a lower sheath portion 32A as shown by arrow marks, thereby to erect the side wall 21 and cancel the erection.
  • the floating of the upper end portion of the slider 30A is restricted by the lower surface of the container main body 1 positioned above, that is, by the bottom surface of the bottom plate 10, at the time of conveying the container main bodies 1 in a stacked status. Therefore, it is possible to hold the erection of the side wall 21 securely and firm, during the conveyance.
  • the container main body 1 provided with this slider portion 30A is folded flat as shown in FIG. 15, the upper portion of the knob of the slider portion 30A is stretched above from the top of the side wall 20 and the side wall 21 respectively. Consequently, the side wall 20 and the side wall 21 are pressed against the upper surface of the bottom plate 10. As a result, it is possible to fold the whole unit more flat.
  • sliders 30B are provided with a U-shaped channel member facing downward respectively, and are slidable on the upper end portions of the side wall 20 that is formed with angular hinges H5 and H7 and the side wall 21 that is formed with angular hinges H6 and H8 respectively, out of the four side walls 20, 21, 22, and 23 of the container main body 1.
  • the sliders 30B are disposed on the top of the hinges H5, H6, H7 and H8 respectively, as shown in FIG. 16.
  • the sliders 30B are removed. According to these sliders 30B, it is possible to manufacture the container at low cost because of a simple mechanism. However, some device is necessary in the aspect of sealing between the lid unit 50 and the container main body 1.
  • a method of folding the container main body 1 it is possible to employ various known methods, such as a method used for a plastic container disclosed in Japanese Patent .Application Laid-open No. 9-175541 A, for example. According to this method, at the time of vacuum molding a plastic sheet, ribs that can be folded toward the inside, when the container after the molding is pressed to the up and down directions, are integrally formed on side walls. Therefore, this plastic container is suitable for conveyance and storage in a status that the side walls are folded flat.
  • the container C structured in a single unit consisting of the container main body 1 and the lid unit 50, for accommodating perishable foods therein. It is possible to further increase the heat insulation and cooling effect of the container according to the present invention, by providing a container C' that is mounted with an inner case(an inner box) 100 that is foldable inside the container main body 1, as shown in a perspective view in FIG. 17.
  • This inner case 100 is a foldable box unit having a set of folding lids that are prepared by using a material consisting of an EPS sheet of a few mm thickness adhered with a thin aluminum-evaporated polyester film, with the aluminum-deposited surface facing inside.
  • this container C' has a set of foldable lid units 150a and 150b on the top.

  • This inner case 100 is designed as follows. When the inner case 100 is developed, this becomes large enough to be brought into contact with the inner surface of the container main body 1 including the lid unit 50 and the bottom plate 10 of the container C, and when the inner case 100 is folded as shown by arrow marks in FIG. 18, this becomes in a flat plate shape.

However, it is preferable to use the above-described material from the viewpoint of heat insulation and cooling effect. Further, it is needless to mention that it is possible to employ various kinds of known methods for folding the inner case 100.
  • the inside of the container main body 1 is heat-insulated in double. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the heat insulation and cooling effect. Further, according to the experiments carried out by the present inventors, it has been made clear that changes in temperature of the container C' along the lapse of time show approximately intermediate values between the values of the container C3(the EPS container) and the container C1a (the polypropylene container having two air layers, with the layer thickness of 8 mm) shown in FIG. 13.
