  In addition, since the ratio between the amount of food that needs to be kept warm and the amount of food that needs to be kept cool depends on the meal, the partition device 11 is moved so that the volume ratio between the warm room 36 and the cold room 37 is changed. It can be changed. The storage 19 includes a slide bar 13 extending in the longitudinal direction 10 a of the vehicle body, and the partition device 11 can be slid along the slide bar 13 in the longitudinal direction 10 a of the vehicle body.

  As described above, since the partition device 11 extends in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body, the two trays 29 arranged in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body are each partitioned at the same ratio. Yes. Therefore, the two trays 29 arranged in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body cannot be partitioned at different ratios.

  By the way, it is necessary to change the food to be placed on the tray 29 according to the illness of each patient, but the partition device 11 partitions the two trays arranged at different ratios. Therefore, even if there is an extra space that can store the tray 29 in the storage box 19, it may be necessary to transport the tray 29 on a separate trolley because it is not possible to perform appropriate heat insulation and cold insulation.

  Then, two trays 29 can be inserted into and removed from the storage box 19 in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body from one side in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body. For example, the first tray 29 is stored. After that, the first tray 29 is pushed by the second tray 29 and moved to the back side, and the two trays 29 are stored. Thus, the operator can put in and out the two trays 29 from one side of the left and right direction 10b of the vehicle body.

  In the tray 29, foods that require heat insulation and foods that require cold preservation are arranged. Therefore, the storage 19 includes a partition device 11 for partitioning the food stored on the tray 29 into a heat storage chamber 36 and a cold storage chamber 37 so that the food can be kept warm and cold at the same time.

  The partition device 11 extends in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body, and is arranged at an interval in the front-rear direction 10a of the vehicle body. The storage 19 includes a heating device 360 for keeping warm on both sides of the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction 10a, and a cooling device 370 for keeping cold in the center of the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction 10a.

  The tray 29 includes an inclined portion 29a that is inclined outwardly so as to surround its periphery. When the two trays 29 are arranged in each stage, a gap is formed under the inclined portion 29 a of the two trays 29. Therefore, the partition device 11 includes an intermediate partition portion 14 between the two partition main bodies 12. The intermediate partition 14 partitions a gap formed under the inclined portion 29 a of the two trays 29.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the partition main body 12 includes a main body partition piece 120 extending in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body at the lower portion thereof. The main body partition piece 120 is movable up and down. Moreover, the partition main body 12 includes a shutter piece 121 at its end. The shutter piece 121 is rotatable.

  The main body partitioning piece 120 is configured to partition the upper surface of the tray 29. The shutter piece 121 partitions the end portion of the tray 29. Accordingly, the shape of the lower side of the main body partition piece 120 substantially matches the shape of the upper surface of the tray 29. The inner shape of the shutter piece 121 substantially matches the shape of the end of the tray 29.

  When the tray 29 is not stored, the main body partitioning piece 120 is brought into contact with the upper end of the lower partition main body 12 by a spring member (not shown) biased downward, so The chamber 37 is partitioned. When the tray 29 is stored, the shutter piece 121 is rotated downward by the tray 29 and the main body partition piece 120 is moved upward to store the tray 29.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, by sliding the partition bodies 12 in the longitudinal direction 10a of the vehicle body, the two partition bodies 12 are not aligned in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body but in the longitudinal direction 10a of the vehicle body. Can be shifted.

By the urging means, the tip of the end portion 140a of the intermediate partition piece 140 normally protrudes upward.

  Each partition body 12 includes a U-shaped section 122 in a portion where each partition body 12 faces. Each U-shaped section 122 has an opening 122a that extends in the vertical direction 10c of the vehicle body and is disposed so as to face each other. The opening 122a of the U-shaped section 122 is formed by cutting out only a portion of an arcuate trajectory in which the intermediate partition piece 140 can rotate so as to shield as much as possible between the cold storage chamber 36 and the cold storage chamber 37. (FIG. 8C).

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the U-shaped section 122 includes length adjusting walls 122b on both sides thereof. The length adjusting wall 122b extends in the vertical direction 10c of the vehicle body, and has a width of a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction 10a of the vehicle body. By setting the width of the length adjusting wall 122b, the space between the intermediate partition pieces 140 can be shielded by the U-shaped section 122. Therefore, when setting the distance W (FIG. 6 (A)) between each intermediate partition piece 140 long, between each intermediate partition piece 140 can be shielded by lengthening the width of the length adjustment wall 122b.

  7 and 8, the tray 29 pushes the intermediate partition piece 140 by sliding the tray 29 in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body. As a result, the intermediate partition piece 140 rotates around the rotation shaft 141. At this time, one of the three intermediate partition pieces 140 rotates through the opening 122 a of the U-shaped section 122. Further, the other two intermediate partition pieces 140 rotate outside the U-shaped section 122 in cross section. By rotating and lowering the intermediate partition piece 140, the tray 29 can be slid in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, the opening 122a of the U-shaped section 122 is formed by cutting out only a portion of an arc locus on which the intermediate partition piece 140 can rotate. Thus, by making the opening 122a of the U-shaped section 122 as small as possible, it is possible to shield as much as possible between the thermal insulation room 36 and the cold insulation room 37.

  In the intermediate partition portion 14 of the present embodiment, when the tray 29 is brought into contact with the intermediate partition piece 140, the intermediate partition piece 140 rotates about the rotation shaft 141, so that the tray 29 can be slid smoothly. .

  9 and 10, after the first tray 29 is stored, the first tray 29 is pushed and slid by the second tray 29, so that two sheets are received with respect to the pair of receiving bases 23. The trays 29 can be arranged in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the outer ends of the two trays 29 are partitioned by the shutter pieces 121 of the two partition main bodies 12. Further, as shown in FIG. 10C, the lower gap between the two trays 29 is partitioned by the end portion 140 a of the intermediate partition piece 140. Therefore, the shape of the end portion 140 a of the intermediate partition piece 140 substantially matches the shape of the lower gap between the two trays 29.

[Modification]
In the above embodiment, two trays 29 are arranged in the left-right direction 10b of the vehicle body, but three or more trays 29 may be arranged. In that case, the partition main body 12 is provided for each tray 29, and the intermediate partition portion 14 is provided between the partition main bodies 12. Therefore, for example, when three trays 29 are arranged, three partition main bodies 12 and two intermediate partition portions 14 are provided.

  In the above embodiment, three intermediate partition pieces 140 are provided, but two or four or more intermediate partition pieces 140 may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the intermediate partition piece 140 can be projected and retracted by rotating, but the intermediate partition piece 140 may be projected and retracted in the vertical direction 10c of the vehicle body.
