  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, the side wall heat insulating member 51 is mounted on the inner surface side of the long side wall portion 7 and the short side wall portion 8, and the upper surface of the bottom wall constituting portion 3. The bottom wall heat insulating member 52 is mounted on the side, and the long side wall 7 and the short side wall 8 are placed in the standing position and the laying position with the heat insulating members 51 and 52 mounted. It is configured to be displaceable. For this reason, while ensuring the intensity | strength of the folding container 1 with the container main body 2 comprised with a non-foaming polypropylene, the side wall heat insulation member 51 and the bottom wall heat insulation member 52 which are comprised with a foamed polypropylene are used. Heat insulation and heat retention can be improved. Furthermore, since the side walls 7 and 8 are configured as the folding container 1 that can be displaced between the standing position and the laying position, the folded state is set in the non-use state in which the article is not accommodated. The transport / storage efficiency of the folding container 1 can be dramatically improved. In particular, since the side walls 7 and 8 can be displaced to the laying position with the heat insulating members 51 and 52 attached, the heat insulating members 51 and 52 are removed when the folding container 1 in the assembled state is to be folded. It is not necessary to do such work. For this reason, while improving the workability | operativity at the time of assembling or folding the folding container 1, management of the folding container 1 (heat insulating members 51 and 52) at the time of storing the folding container 1 in a folded state is relatively. It can be easy.

  Further, a side wall heat insulating accommodation portion 53 capable of accommodating the side wall heat insulating member 51 is provided on the inner surface side of the side wall portions 7 and 8. In particular, in this embodiment, the depth of the side wall heat insulating accommodation portion 53 in the thickness direction of the side wall portions 7 and 8 is configured to be deeper than the thickness of the side wall heat insulating member 51, and within the thickness range of the side wall portions 7 and 8, The entire side wall insulating member 51 is accommodated. For this reason, the thickness of the “side wall of the folding container 1” including the side wall portions 7 and 8 and the side wall heat insulating member 51 can be made as thin as possible. Therefore, as the thickness of the side wall of the folding container 1 increases, the outer dimension of the folding container 1 increases, leading to a decrease in the efficiency of transporting and storing the folding container 1, or the inner volume of the folding container 1 is reduced. Thus, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the transportation / storage efficiency of the article is reduced.

  Furthermore, the thickness of the side wall of the folding container 1 is made as thin as possible, so that the side wall parts 7 and 8 can be made relatively smooth (the bottom wall constituting part 3 even when the side wall heat insulating member 51 is attached to the side wall parts 7 and 8. In addition, the folding container 1 can be displaced to the laying position (without interfering with the other side wall portions 7 and 8), and the height of the folded folding container 1 can be made as low as possible.

  In addition, when the side wall heat insulating accommodation portion 53 does not protrude inward from the inner surfaces of the side wall portions 7 and 8, when the folding container 1 is folded or assembled, the side wall heat insulating accommodation portion 53 is first set to the upright position during assembly. When folded, the long side wall heat insulating member 56 of the long side wall portion 7 that is set to the laying position later comes into contact with the short side wall portion 8 that is displaced between the standing position and the laying position. It is possible to suppress a situation in which the side-side side wall heat insulating member 56 is damaged, or the workability of folding and assembling is reduced.

  In addition, the long side base plate 11 and the short side base plate 31 constituting the outer peripheral surface of the folding container 1 of the long side wall 7 and the short side wall 8 are non-porous plates. It is configured. For this reason, for example, in the long side side wall heat insulating housing portion 54 and the short side wall side heat insulating housing portion 57, there are provided holes that penetrate in the thickness direction of the long side wall portion 7 and the short side wall portion 8. By doing so, it is possible to avoid such a situation that the heat insulating property of the side wall of the folding container 1 is deteriorated, or foreign matters accumulate on the inner periphery of the hole and the back side of the side wall heat insulating member 51 to deteriorate the sanitary surface. it can.

That is, the long-side side wall heat-insulating housing portion is constituted by the long-side upper frame lower step rib 18 projecting inward from the long-side base plate 11, the long-side lower-side rib 13, and the pair of long-side side ribs 15. The long-side surrounding rib 55 that defines the outer periphery of the short-side base plate 31 can be configured, and the short-side upper frame lower step rib 39, the short-side lower-side rib 33, and the pair The short-side-side surrounding ribs 58 that define the outer periphery of the short-side-side side wall heat insulating housing portion 57 can be configured by the short-side-side side ribs 35.

  Further, on the inner surface side of the long side wall portion 7 and the short side wall portion 8, there are provided auxiliary ribs 60 having a shorter projecting length than the long side wall ribs 55 and the short side wall ribs 58. ing. On the other hand, the side wall heat insulating member 51 is provided with an auxiliary groove 61 into which the auxiliary rib 60 is relatively inserted. Then, by attaching the side wall heat insulating member 51 to the side wall portions 7 and 8, the side wall heat insulating member 51 is fitted to the inner peripheral side of the long side side surrounding rib 55 and the short side side surrounding rib 58, and assists in the auxiliary groove portion 61. Ribs 60 are inserted. Accordingly, the long-side surrounding rib 55, the short-side surrounding rib 58, and the auxiliary rib 60 more reliably prevent displacement of the side wall heat insulating member 51 (displacement in a direction other than the inner peripheral side of the folding container 1). It is possible to hold the sidewall heat insulating member 51 more reliably.

  Further, since the protruding length of the auxiliary rib 60 is configured to be shorter than the surrounding ribs 55 and 58, the side wall heat insulating member 51 does not need to be divided at the auxiliary rib 60. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of pieces of the side wall heat insulating members 51 attached to the side wall portions 7 and 8 (in this example, one piece), and workability when the side wall heat insulating members 51 are attached and detached. The improvement etc. can be aimed at.

  In addition, the auxiliary rib 60 is located in the vicinity of the upper side portions of the side wall portions 7 and 8 and in the vicinity of the left and right side portions than the central portion of the side wall portions 7 and 8 and the vicinity of the lower side portions of the side wall portions 7 and 8. Are also densely arranged. For this reason, the deformation of the side wall portions 7 and 8 can be effectively suppressed, and as a result, the fear of the side wall heat insulating member 51 falling off due to the deformation of the side wall portions 7 and 8 can be more reliably prevented.

  Further, the long-side surrounding rib 55, the short-side surrounding rib 58, and the auxiliary rib 60 are provided so as to protrude inward from the inner surfaces of the long-side base plate 11 and the short-side base plate 31. . Thereby, since it is not necessary to provide various ribs on the outer surface side of the long side wall portion 7 and the short side wall portion 8, the outer surfaces of the long side wall portion 7 and the short side wall portion 8 are It can be a substantially flat surface. Therefore, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from accumulating on the outer surface side of the side wall portions 7 and 8, and to avoid a situation in which the ribs provided on the outer surface side of the side wall portions 7 and 8 are damaged. Further, with respect to the inner surface of the side wall of the folding container 1, the side wall heat insulating member 51 can be attached to make the surface substantially flat, and when the article is put in and out, the article is caught by the various ribs of the side wall portions 7 and 8. The article can be stably supported by the side wall of the folding container 1 when the folding container 1 is slightly tilted during transportation.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the side wall heat insulating member 51 is locked by locking the locking portion 64 provided on the side wall portions 7 and 8 and the locked portion 66 provided on the side wall heat insulating member 51. It is attached to the side walls 7 and 8. For this reason, the side wall heat insulating member 51 can be attached to and detached from the side wall portions 7 and 8 relatively easily, and the workability of attaching and detaching the side wall heat insulating member 51 can be improved. Furthermore, the side wall heat insulating member 51 can be attached / detached relatively easily, so that the portion of the side wall portions 7 and 8 where the side wall heat insulating member 51 is mounted and the side wall heat insulating member 51 are cleaned, ventilated and dried, etc. Maintenance, replacement of the side wall heat insulating member 51 and the like can be performed relatively easily, so that hygiene and convenience can be improved. Moreover, since it is not necessary to use an adhesive agent etc. for fixing to the side wall parts 7 and 8 of the side wall heat insulating member 51, when food is stored in the folding container 1, the food can be safely transported and stored.

  Furthermore, the locked portion 66 is configured by forming a recess (step portion) on the inner surface side of the side wall heat insulating member 51, and the locking portion 64 is formed by the side wall heat insulating member 51 mounted on the side wall portions 7 and 8. It is comprised so that it may be settled in the range of thickness. For this reason, the situation that the latching | locking part 64 protrudes to the inner peripheral side of the folding container 1 rather than the inner surface of the side wall heat insulation member 51, and the situation where it contacts with the articles | goods accommodated in the folding container 1 can be avoided. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the housed article and the locking portion 64 are in contact with each other and the article and the locking portion 64 are damaged.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in the bottom wall constituting portion 3, not only the bottom wall heat insulating member 52 (bottom wall corresponding portion 77) is mounted on the upper surface side of the bottom wall portion 4, but also upward from the bottom wall portion 4. The bottom wall heat insulating member 52 (base corresponding part 78) is also attached to the inner surface side of the protruding long side base part 5. For this reason, the situation where heat insulation property falls in the long side base part 5 which protrudes upwards rather than the short side base part 6 can be suppressed, and the heat retention of the folding container 1 can be improved. .

  Furthermore, since the bottom wall corresponding part 77 and the base corresponding part 78 are integrally formed, for example, compared with the case where it is comprised separately, the attachment or detachment operation | work of the bottom wall heat insulation member 52 with respect to the bottom wall structure part 3 is carried out. It is possible to improve the performance. In addition, management when storing the bottom wall heat insulating member 52 before being attached to the container main body 2 in the manufacturing process of the folding container 1 can be made relatively easy.

  In addition, when a force that squeezes upward acts on the end portion of the bottom wall corresponding portion 77 (for example, when it is lifted by adhering to the stored article), it is integrated with the bottom wall corresponding portion 77. The base-corresponding portion 78 that is formed on the base-side corresponding to the long-side-side base portion 5 positioned on the side of the base-corresponding portion 78 and the lower-side portion of the long-side-side side wall portion 7 positioned above the base-corresponding portion 78 Supported in contact. Thereby, even if it does not provide the latching means etc. which regulate the upward displacement of the bottom wall corresponding | compatible part 77 with respect to the bottom wall part 4, the upward displacement of the bottom wall corresponding | compatible part 77 can be suppressed. Further, for example, a latching means for restricting the upward displacement of the bottom wall corresponding part 77 with respect to the bottom wall part 4 is provided, and the latched object that is latched by the locking means with respect to the bottom wall corresponding part 77. When the locking means is provided, the article stored in the folding container 1 and the locking means may be damaged by direct or indirect interference, or when the bottom wall heat insulating member 52 is mounted, the locking means And the situation that the bottom wall heat insulating member 52 is damaged can be avoided. Furthermore, the manufacturing workability of the bottom wall constituting portion 3 and the bottom wall heat insulating member 52 can be improved while suppressing the complexity of the mold for molding the bottom wall constituting portion 3.

And the inner wall remaining portion 73 located below the long-side bearing portion 9 of the long-side base portion 5 is configured to come into contact with or be close to each other. With this configuration, when the short side wall portion 8 in the laying position is displaced to the standing position, the “upper insertion protrusion 41” of the short side wall portion 8 includes the inner wall remaining portion 73 and the long side bearing. It passes through the side of the part 9. For this reason, for example, when the long side wall portion 7 is not completely in the standing position and is slightly tilted inward, if the short side wall portion 8 is displaced to the standing position side, the short side The “upper insertion protrusion 41” of the side wall portion 8 is connected to the long side bearing portion 9 and is inclined so as to protrude inward from the long side bearing portion 9. 14 will be contacted. Therefore, when the short side wall portion 8 is displaced to the standing position side as it is, the long side wall portion 7 is moved by the short side wall portion 8 (the upper insertion protrusion 41) in the long side hinge portion 14. It looks like being pushed to the standing position side. When the “upper insertion protrusion 41” of the short side wall portion 8 passes the side of the long side hinge portion 14 of the long side wall portion 7, the long side wall portion 7 stands up completely. Will be the position. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the upper end portion of the side portion of the short side wall portion 8 or the “upper insertion protrusion 41” is in contact with the long side wall heat insulating member 56 when the folding container 1 is assembled. It is possible to prevent damage to the long-side side wall heat insulating member 56 and to improve the assembly workability.

  For example, when the folding container 1 is in a folded state, or when the short side wall 8 at the laying position is set to the standing position, the short side wall 8 is one long side base 5. When it can be displaced so as to tilt to the side, the upper end portion of the side portion of the short side wall portion 8 or the vicinity thereof may contact the base corresponding portion 78 of the bottom wall heat insulating member 52. Concerned. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the inner wall is disposed so that the tilting displacement of the short side wall portion 8 can be brought into contact with the upper end portion of the side portion of the short side wall portion 8 at the laying position or the vicinity thereof. It can be regulated by the remaining portion 73. For this reason, when the folding container 1 is put into the assembled state, the upper end portion of the side portion of the short side wall portion 8 that is about to be displaced from the laid position to the standing position side is pierced into the base corresponding portion 78. It is possible to prevent the situation of being touched (hooked).
