Transport container
The present invention provides a transport container comprising; a first container having a first inner wall with a storage space for storing a transported object and a first outer wall provided on the outside of the first inner wall so as to form, with the first inner wall, a vacuum space therebetween; a first lid that is heat-insulating and is for removably sealing a first opening of the first container; a second container having a second inner wall with a space for storing the first container and the first lid and a second outer wall provided on the outside of the second inner wall so as to form, with the second inner wall, a vacuum space therebetween; a second lid that is heat-insulating and is for removably sealing a second opening of the second container; and a heat storage material for surrounding the transported object inside the storage space.
1. A transport container comprising:
a first container having a first inner wall with a storage space for storing a transported object, and a first outer wall provided on the outside of the first inner wall so as to form, with the first inner wall, a vacuum space therebetween;
a first lid that is heat-insulating and is for removably sealing a first opening portion of the first container;
a second container having a second inner wall with a space for storing the first container and the first lid and a second outer wall provided on the outside of the second inner wall so as to form, with the second inner wall, a vacuum space therebetween;
a second lid that is heat-insulating and is for removably sealing a second opening portion of the second container; and
a heat storage material for surrounding the transported object inside the storage space,
wherein the first container has a bottom portion, and the vacuum space formed between the first inner wall and the first outer wall communicates with a vacuum space in the bottom portion of the first container,
wherein the second container has a bottom portion, and the vacuum space formed between the second inner wall and the second outer wall communicates with a vacuum space in the bottom portion of the second container,
wherein the second container accommodates the first container and the first lid in such a manner that the bottom portion of the first container faces the second opening portion of the second container, and
wherein the first opening portion and the second opening portion are on opposite ends of the transport container.
2. The transport container according to claim 1 , wherein the heat storage material is disposed along an inner peripheral surface of the first container.
3. The transport container according to claim 2 , wherein the heat storage material has a substantially uniform thickness.
4. The transport container according to claim 2 , further comprising a metal container having thermal conductivity and provided in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the heat insulating material.
5. The transport container according to claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary heat storage material provided on a surface of the first lid facing the storage space.
6. The transport container according to claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the heat storage material.
7. The transport container according to claim 1 , wherein the first lid has a first sealing material which is in contact with the first opening portion in such a manner that the first lid is attached to the first opening portion of the first container.
8. The transport container according to claim 1 , wherein the second lid has a second sealing material which is in contact with the second opening portion in such a manner that the second lid is attached to the second opening portion of the second container.
9. The transport container according to claim 1 , further comprising a temperature controlling device removably mounted in the storage space and performing a heat storage treatment on the heat storage material.
10. The transport container according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a third container having a third inner wall with a space for storing the second container and the second lid and a third outer wall provided on the outside of the third inner wall so as to form, with the third inner wall, a vacuum space therebetween;
a third lid that is heat-insulating and is for removably sealing a third opening portion of the third container.
11. A transport container comprising:
a first container having a first inner wall with a storage space for storing a transported object and a heat storage material, and a first outer wall provided on the outside of the first inner wall so as to form, with the first inner wall, a vacuum space therebetween;
a first lid that is heat-insulating and is for removably sealing a first opening portion of the first container;
a second container having a second inner wall with a space for storing the first container and the first lid and a second outer wall provided on the outside of the second inner wall so as to form, with the second inner wall, a vacuum space therebetween;
a second lid that is heat-insulating and is for removably sealing a second opening portion of the second container,
wherein the first container has a bottom portion, and the vacuum space formed between the first inner wall and the first outer wall communicates with a vacuum space in the bottom portion of the first container,
wherein the second container has a bottom portion, and the vacuum space formed between the second inner wall and the second outer wall communicates with a vacuum space in the bottom portion of the second container,
wherein the second container accommodates the first container and the first lid in such a manner that the bottom portion of the first container faces the second opening portion of the second container, and
wherein the first opening portion and the second opening portion are on opposite ends of the transport container.
12. The transport container according to claim 1 , wherein the second lid is fixedly formed integrally with the bottom portion of the first container.
