Even in this case, it is possible to avoid a disadvantage that the articles in the heat insulating box 3 are heated more than necessary.

Next, a transport storage 3 as another embodiment.
0 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows a vertical front view of the transport storage 30. The transport storage 30 in this embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the transport storage 1 of the above embodiment. The transport storage 30 has a Peltier element 31 connected to the battery 15 instead of the heater 11. ing. That is, the Peltier device 31
It is configured by removing the outer surface material 9 and the heat insulating material 10 on the side wall of the heat insulating box 3 located on the main body 6 side, and is attached to the recess 32 having an opening on the main body 6 side. In addition, on the side wall of the main body 6 at a position corresponding to the recess 32 of the heat insulating box 3,

Here, the Peltier element 31 is formed by joining two types of thermoelectric semiconductors, consisting of a P-type element and an N-type element, in a π-type with metal electrodes, and supplies a current from the N-type element to the P-type element. When flowing, one side (endothermic surface) due to Peltier effect
And absorbs heat from the other surface (heat radiating surface), and uses the heat radiating action at this time to heat the object to be heated.

One surface of the Peltier device 31, that is,
On the surface located on the inner surface material 8 side of the heat insulating box 3, a heat radiating plate 3 made of a heat conductive material such as aluminum is provided.
3 is attached to the inner surface material 8 by heat exchange, and the other surface of the Peltier element 31, that is, the surface located on the side of the main body 6 is made of a thermally conductive material such as aluminum. A heat radiating plate 34 on which a heat radiating fin 35 formed to extend into the inside of the main body 6 is attached.

The temperature controller 23 is connected to the Peltier element 31 so that the temperature sensor 22
, The potential applied to the Peltier element 31 can be changed to reversible the heat absorbing surface and the heat radiating surface.

The conduction and potential of the Peltier element 31 are controlled by the temperature controller according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22. If the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the Peltier element 31 Are reversed. As a result, since the heat absorption surface and the heat radiation surface of the Peltier element 31 are reversed, when power is supplied to the Peltier element 31, the heat absorption surface of the Peltier element 31 exerts a heat absorption effect, and the heat absorption surface is provided with heat exchange. The heat radiating plate 33 located on the inner surface material 8 side is cooled. for that reason,
The cold heat of the radiator plate 33 is transmitted to the inner surface member 8, and the inside surface member 8 cools the inside of the storage room 5, thereby cooling the test blood in the storage room 5. Further, the heat radiation surface of the Peltier element 31 is heated, and the heat radiation plate 34 located on the side of the main body 6
The heat is dissipated through. At this time, the warm air retained in the upper machine room 13 is discharged to the outside air through the ventilation holes 37 of the upper panel 38.

In this state, for example, by loading the transport storage 30 on a transport vehicle as a transport means, the test blood as a medical-related article can be transported to the destination while maintaining a predetermined temperature. . Therefore, even in the case where the transport is performed in a season that is easily affected by the outside air temperature, particularly in summer or winter, the medical-related articles stored in the transport storage 30 perform temperature control extremely precisely without causing a temperature change. And the deterioration or decay of the stored articles can be avoided.

According to the present invention, the transport storage 30
The weight of itself can be reduced, portability can be improved, and transport can be performed easily.
