DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigeration container for transportation and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional transport refrigeration container is shown in FIG.
And in FIG. A storage room 2 for storing cargo is provided in the container 1. The front wall 1a of the container 1 has an opening at the center, and the refrigeration unit 3 is detachably disposed here. On both sides of the side surface of the refrigeration unit 3, there are formed blow-out air passages 5 surrounded by the side surface, the inner wall surface of the container 1, and the partition plate 4.
The partition plate 4 has an inner end on one side rotatably attached to an outer plate of the refrigeration unit 3 via a hinge 7, and another outer end on a bracket attached to the inner wall of the container 1. 8
Is fixed by being screwed at several places. A temperature sensor 6 for detecting the temperature of the air flowing therethrough is provided in the outlet air passage 5.

In this container, the air in the storage room 2 is sucked into the refrigerating unit 3, cooled or heated here, and then flows out from the floor of the storage room 2 through the blowing air passage 5.

[0004]

In the conventional transport refrigeration container, the inspection and replacement of the temperature sensor 6 provided in the blow-out air passage 5 and the removal of the refrigeration unit 3 from the outside of the container 1 are performed. In each case, screw 9
Has to be removed and the partition plate 4 must be opened, which is troublesome.

[0005] Further, since the mounting holes of the partition plate 4 and the screws 9 of the bracket 8 are usually drilled by the maker of the refrigerating unit 3 and the maker of the container 1, respectively, there is a possibility that a trouble may occur that the positions of the mounting holes do not match. Was.

The present invention seeks to solve the above problems of the conventional refrigeration container.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a storage room provided in a container for storing cargo, and a storage room provided at a side portion of the container for cooling or heating by sucking air from the storage room. A refrigeration unit, and a blow-out air passage formed by being surrounded by the side surface, an inner wall surface of the container, and a partition plate on both sides of the refrigeration unit. A side end is rotatably attached to the inner wall of the container, and the other end is stretched by an elastic member to abut on the refrigeration unit.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the partition plate is in contact with the refrigeration unit by the elastic force of the elastic member and surrounds the blow-out air passage. Further, by turning the partition plate against the elastic force of the elastic member, the partition plate can be easily opened.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment is an improvement of the conventional container shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 as described below. Members corresponding to those of the conventional container shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description is omitted.

In this embodiment, on both sides of the refrigerating unit 3, a blow-out air passage 5 is formed by being surrounded by the side surface, the inner wall surface of the container 1 and the partition plate 4. One outer end of the partition plate 4 is hinged to the inner wall of the container 1.
1, and the other end on the inside is frozen by the elastic force of a spring 12 stretched between the rear surface of the partition plate 4 and the front wall 1a of the container 1. It is in contact with the front of the unit 3. Further, a packing 13 for preventing air from leaking from the outlet air passage 5 is interposed on the contact surface between the partition plate 4 and the refrigeration unit 3.

In this embodiment having the above configuration, the partition plate 4
Is in contact with the refrigeration unit 3 by the elastic force of the spring 12 and surrounds the blow-out air passage 5. Further, the partition plate 4 can be easily opened by rotating the partition plate 4 against the elastic force of the spring 12 with a handle (not shown).

[0012]

According to the present invention, one end of the partition plate is rotatably attached to the inner wall of the container, and the other end is abutted against the refrigeration unit by being stretched by an elastic member. This partition plate can be easily opened by rotating the partition plate against the elastic force of the elastic member,
Unlike the conventional case, in the operation in the blow-out air path and the operation of removing the refrigeration unit, the trouble of removing screws is not required, and troubles such as displacement of screw mounting holes can be avoided.
