[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a so-called live fish transportation container for transporting seafood such as button shrimp, spiny lobster, crab, tie, flounder, puffer fish and shellfish in a living state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in the transportation of so-called live fish, such as button shrimp, spiny lobster, crab, seafood such as Thailand, flounder, puffer fish, shellfish, etc., in the state of being alive, a vehicle equipped with an aquarium is used to live from the production area. The method of transporting the fish as it is or storing the live fish and water in a container 1 made of foamed resin as shown in Fig. 10 and sealing it with a lid 2 and filling oxygen in the container to There are methods such as air transportation from the production area.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when transporting with a car equipped with a water tank, the water temperature rises while the car is running, and the fish shakes with the water and gets drunk, causing the fish itself to become fleshed, There were problems such as a decrease in vitality, a decrease in freshness and taste, and a decrease in commercial value as live fish. Therefore, recently, there is also a method of transporting fish in an asphyxia state and reviving them after arriving at the site, but in this case there is a problem that the cost of equipment and work costs when making the asphyxia state will increase, There is a problem that the freshness and taste are inevitable. Furthermore, in each case, there was a problem that a dedicated vehicle equipped with a water tank or a cold storage vehicle was required, and the equipment cost was high, which was a factor in increasing the cost in the live fish market.

Furthermore, a fish 1 and water in a living state are stored in a container 1 made of a foamed resin as shown in FIG. 10 and sealed with a lid 2, and oxygen is filled into the container so that it can be produced from overseas or domestic production areas. In the case of the air transport method using a flying machine, since the fitting part 1a of the lid has only one step, a so-called single step, the sealing function is poor, and water leakage etc. inside the machine during transportation is possible. There is the problem of waking up and inviting trouble.

Therefore, recently, it has been attempted to fill a bag made of a resin such as polyethylene with seafood, water and oxygen and store it in a container made of a foamed resin as shown in FIG. 10 for transportation. However, there was a problem that oxygen became insufficient in a short time and it was not suitable for long-distance and long-time transportation.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention does not require a dedicated vehicle or a cold storage vehicle equipped with a water tank, and may cause water leakage in the cabin or in the vehicle during transportation, whether by air transport or land transport. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a container for transporting live fish, which allows long-distance transportation for a long time while keeping the live fish and shells intact.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention covers the outside of a foamed resin container with a heat insulating material, provides a plurality of stepped steps on the upper peripheral edge of the container, and provides a plurality of stepped steps on the stepped portion. An inner lid with a step on the periphery is placed or fitted, and further, an oxygen supply pump, a storage space for the coolant and an oxygen supply pipe, and a suction port for the outside air and a discharge port for the exhaust air are provided on the periphery. The procedure is to fit the lid of the partition, and then fit the top lid from above and seal it.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the outside of the container is covered with the heat insulating material, the cooling capacity is extremely high, the inner lid, the partition lid and the upper lid have a high sealing force, and the suction of oxygen. Since the exhaust gas is released and cold oxygen can be sent, water does not leak, and the container creates a state as if it were breathing. Even if there is seafood, it will be possible to transport seafood in a living state. Moreover, by filling the inside lid with water until it touches the inside lid, the fluctuation of water is suppressed by the inside lid, so the vitality is reduced due to the phenomenon of meat detachment caused by fish getting drunk during transportation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent deterioration of freshness and taste, and further decrease of commercial value as live fish.

In another aspect of the invention, the lid of the partition is provided with a suction port for the outside air and a discharge port for the exhaust gas at the peripheral portion, and a partition frame inside which an oxygen supply pump is fitted, A partition frame that forms the cold air storage chamber is provided, and a conduction hole for guiding the oxygen supply pipe downward is provided inside the peripheral edge on the opposite side, and a coolant storage space is provided between the oxygen supply pump and the conduction hole. The means for this is that an oxygen supply pipe is provided after that.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the oxygen for feeding can be sufficiently cooled, and even if water rises from below during transportation or the ice used as the coolant melts, Since the partition frame acts as a weir and prevents water from reaching the oxygen supply pump, it does not hinder long-distance transportation for a long time.

In another aspect of the present invention, the oxygen supply pipe is provided with an oxygen discharge port at an end thereof, which is fixed to the inner bottom of the container, and a partition wall formed along a notch groove provided on the inner peripheral edge of the container. The means for this is that it is connected to an oxygen supply pump provided on the lid.

Therefore, according to the present invention, oxygen can be evenly distributed in the container and the vitality of the seafood can be maintained. Moreover, the oxygen supply pipe is connected to the oxygen supply pump along the inside of the container, and the exhaust of used oxygen is released upward along the notch groove, so that the inner lid does not float up due to the exhaust pressure, and Since the airtightness is maintained, water leakage does not occur and sufficient oxygen can be supplied.

[0013] Still another invention has as its means means that a hanging belt is attached to the live fish transport container. Therefore, according to the present invention, not only the handling at the time of transportation becomes easy, but also it can be used as a cold container for fishing.

[0014]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is an exploded view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A. In the figure, 3 is a container made of foamed resin, specifically, a container made of styrofoam, which can store seafood and water in a living state. The outside of the container is covered with a heat insulating material 3x so that the cold insulation capacity can be further enhanced.

The heat insulating material 3x is usually formed by using a water resistant corrugated cardboard paper which is waxed as an outer shell material, and encapsulating a filler material 3y such as urethane or glass wool inside. The upper end of the lid extends to the position of the first lid and opens outward so as not to obstruct the fitting and removal of lids. 3t is an opening that serves as a handle for easy handling, and a hanging belt that can be hung on the shoulder or hung by hand can be attached.

On the upper peripheral edge of the container 3, in addition to a fitting portion of a lid 6 of a partition formed by a plurality of stair-steps 3a, 3b, an inner lid 4 is placed or fitted. A plurality of matching step differences 3c and 3d and a notch groove 3f for guiding the oxygen supply pipe are provided. 3 and 4 are a plan view and a perspective view showing the details thereof. As shown in the figure, the oxygen supply pipe 7a is provided with an oxygen discharge port 7b at its end, which is fitted and fixed to a sandwiching piece 7c protruding from the bottom of the container 3 and is provided at the inner peripheral edge of the container. An example is shown in which the oxygen supply pump 7 provided on the lid 6 of the partition is connected along the cutout groove 3f.

A plurality of step-like steps 4c and 4d are provided on the peripheral edge of the inner lid 4 so as to be placed or fitted on the steps 3c and 3d of the container 3, and a handle is provided on the surface of the lid. A pair of protruding strips 4z that also function as the left and right sides are provided so that when the lid 6 for the partition is fitted into the container, the lid for the partition is pressed from above to increase the sealing force. .

The lid 6 of the partition fitted on the inner lid is provided with ridges 6a and 6b to which the upper lid 5 is fitted, and the peripheral portion thereof has oxygen suction ports 6h and 6i for the outside air. A discharge port 6g for exhausting used oxygen is provided. 5 and 6 are a plan view and an overall perspective view showing the details. That is, a partition frame 6c into which the oxygen supply pump 7 is fitted and a partition frame 6e that forms the cold air storage chamber 6d are provided inside thereof, and the oxygen supply pipe 7a is guided downward to the inside of the opposite peripheral edge. A through hole 6f is provided, and an oxygen supply pipe 7a is provided between the oxygen supply pump 7 and the through hole 6f via the coolant storage space 6k.

The coolant accommodating space 6k accommodates agglomerate ice or the like, and an oxygen supply pipe 7a, specifically, a vinyl chloride hose is passed through the coolant to supply cold air. Of course, if you lengthen the hose and wind it in the coolant, you can get more cold oxygen. Furthermore, the air sucked from the oxygen suction ports 6h and 6i of the outside air is sent by being cooled in the cold air storage chamber 6d, so that further cold oxygen can be sent. This makes it possible to supply oxygen while preventing the water temperature from rising compared to the case of simply sending air at room temperature. Transport and other fish that require strict temperature control can also be transported at an appropriate temperature, transporting while maintaining the commercial value of live fish without reducing vitality and accompanying loss of freshness and taste. You will be able to do it.

In use, if the inner lid 4, the inner partition lid 6 and the upper lid 5 are fitted in order, the inner partition lid 6 abuts on the protruding strip 4z of the inner lid 4, and in that state The lid 4 is pressed from above, and the upper lid is further fitted from above to press the inner lid 4 and the lid 6 of the partition, so that water does not leak and yet oxygen is sufficiently sucked and exhausted. A very tightly sealed container will be obtained.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which a shoulder belt V is attached to an opening 3t serving as a handle provided on a side wall of a heat insulating material in order to facilitate handling and carrying, and FIG. FIG. 8 is a perspective view, and FIG. 8 is an overall perspective view. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which two belts are inserted into the opening 3t formed by two slits so that the belt can be carried. This not only facilitates handling, but also makes it possible to use it as a cold storage container for fishing.

FIG. 9 shows an embodiment using the container of the present invention. Seawater 8 and seafood 9 in a living state are stored in the container 3, ice is filled as a coolant 10, and cold oxygen is supplied. It shows the state of transportation while being fed. In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which seawater 8 is filled until it comes into contact with the inner lid 4, and the button shrimp in a living state as fish and shellfish is contained therein. This will prevent seawater from swaying during transportation and prevent fish from getting drunk. Moreover, since the airtightness is high, there is no water leakage during transportation, yet oxygen is sufficiently supplied and exhausted and exhausted, so fish can be transported anywhere in a live state and at an appropriate temperature. I can.

In the above-described embodiment, the example applied to the button shrimp is shown, but the seafood such as Ise shrimp, shrimp, red shrimp, crab, Thailand, flounder, puffer fish and various shellfish is transported in a living state. It goes without saying that it can be applied to all cases. Furthermore, it goes without saying that both saltwater fish and freshwater fish can be transported.

[0024]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, since the container has a very high cooling capacity and an extremely high degree of tightness, when transporting live seafood, there is no need for a dedicated vehicle or cold vehicle equipped with an aquarium, and passenger cars, light vehicles, etc. Can be transported by ordinary car. Therefore, the equipment cost is low and the transportation cost of live fish can be significantly reduced.

Moreover, since the container has a high degree of airtightness, water does not pass through even if oxygen and air pass through, and there is no chance of water leakage. Since seafood can be stored and can be freely air-shipped or land-shipped in an appropriate temperature or in a cold state, fresh seafood can be supplied anytime, anywhere.

Furthermore, the container has a high ability to keep cold, a plurality of lids are fitted to hermetically seal the container, so that the container has a high sealing force, water swing can be suppressed, and new oxygen is constantly sucked and discharged. It is possible to form a state as if the container is breathing even though the container is sealed due to the fact that the container can be released and the supply of cold oxygen. It will be possible to transport for a long time and a long distance without deteriorating and deteriorating the freshness and taste and further reducing the commercial value of live fish.
