Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a container equipped with a cold storage refrigeration unit.

Further, the present invention relates to an improvement of the cold storage type refrigerating unit having a cooling fan and allowing the inside of the main body to be set and used in a plurality of temperature zones.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a container with a cold storage type refrigeration unit, in order to enable setting and use in a plurality of temperature zones, as one method, a condensing unit is provided outside the container body.
The main body has an evaporator through which the refrigerant flows and a plurality of coolers each containing a regenerator material having a different freezing temperature, and each cooler is surrounded by a heat insulating partition wall so as to be shielded from the inside of the main body. Multiple air cooling chambers are configured, each air cooling chamber is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, and a cooling fan.By selectively operating the cooling fan, cooled air is blown into the main body and set. Allow the temperature to cool.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the case of the above-described structure, it was not possible to precool the container body (cool the air inside the body and the body in advance) during the cold storage operation.

That is, a plurality of air cooling chambers are formed by surrounding and enclosing a cooler for cooling the air in the main body from the inside of the main body with a heat insulating partition wall.
The air cooling chamber and the inside of the main body communicate with each other only through the air inlet and outlet. For example, the air inlet and the air outlet are located above the cooler, and unless the cooling fan is driven, air flows between the two chambers. Not flowing.

Therefore, the inside of the main body and the main body itself are not cooled, and after the cold storage operation, the container is loaded, and one temperature zone such as medium temperature or low temperature is selected and set, and the cooling operation is performed by operating the cooling fan. Even if it starts, the temperature drop at the start will be delayed, and in some cases, the temperature of the cargo will be temporarily warmed up. Automatic pre-cooling before loading is required.

(Means for Solving Problems) In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, the partition wall surrounding the cooler of the medium temperature air cooling chamber is provided at an appropriate height position.
A small window leading to the inside of the main body was provided.

(Function) Even if the cooling fan does not operate during cold storage operation, it takes time because the air cooled by the cooler in the medium temperature air cooling chamber leaks into the main unit little by little through the small window. During the cold storage operation, it will be precooled to a medium temperature state.

The freezing plates 9 and 10 are mounted above the inner rear wall of the box-shaped main body 1 at a position slightly lower than the ceiling and a little apart from the wall surface. Although not shown, the freezing plates 9 and 10 respectively include evaporators 11 and 12 and a cold storage material. The low temperature freezing plate 9 keeps the internal temperature of the body at about -15 ° C or lower, and has a built-in cold storage material having a freezing temperature of about -25 to -30 ° C. The medium temperature freezing plate 10 keeps the temperature inside the main body at about 10 ° C to -2 ° C, and has a built-in cold storage material having a freezing temperature of about -5 ° C to -10 ° C.

Reference numeral 13 is a partition wall with heat insulation property. The freezing plate is vertically shielded from the inside of the box-shaped body along the wall surface from the ceiling to the floor, and the freezing plates 9 and 10 are completely partitioned to form one partition. Air cooling chambers 14 and 15 each having a freezing plate were constructed. The air cooling chambers 14 and 15 are separated by vertical guide plates 18 and 19 into a chamber having a freezing plate and passages 16 and 17 for sucking the cooled air upward, and communicate with each other at the lower part. .

At the top of the partition wall 13, air inlets 20 and 21, air outlets 22 and 23
Are provided, each of which is higher than the freezing plate. The air inlets 20 and 21 are provided at the uppermost portion of the chamber having the freezing plate, and the air outlets 22 and 23 are provided at the uppermost portions of the passages 16 and 17 so as to open inside the main body. Cooling fans 24 at the air outlets 22 and 23,

The air inside the box-shaped body enters the air cooling chamber from the air inlet, is cooled by the freezing plate, becomes heavy, and descends.
At the bottom, it is sucked up by a refrigeration fan, rises in the passage 16 or 17 and is pumped out of the air outlet again into the box body. In the low temperature air cooling chamber 14, if the cooling fan 24 does not operate, the air cooled by the freezing plate is heavy, so that the air is kept accumulated in the air cooling chamber, and from the air inlet and the air outlet at a position higher than the freezing plate. , Never goes inside the box body.

In the medium temperature air cooling chamber 15, even when the cooling fan 25 does not operate, the air cooled by the freezing plate flows out into the main body little by little through the small window 41.

A door 26 is provided on the front surface of the box-shaped main body 1 so that it can be opened and closed and a load can be unloaded. 27 is a handle for opening and closing the door 26.
