Storage container

Abstract

A storage container can maintain a temperature inside a storage room not to cause a temperature distribution for a certain time even if the operation is stopped. In a storage containerstoring preserved goods and having an electrical cooling function, the storage containerincludes a container bodyand a door. A space enclosed by the container bodyand the doorforms a storage room. The container bodyand the doorhave respectively heat insulating portionsand heat accumulating portions. The heat accumulating portionsare each made of at least one type of material that causes liquid-solid phase transition at a temperature between a controllable temperature inside the storage roomand a living environmental temperature. A value obtained by dividing temperature conductivity of the material by an amount of the material used per unit area of a wall surface of the storage roomis smaller in the heat accumulating portionsarranged near a first area where a temperature is more apt to come closer to the living environmental temperature under a temperature distribution that is formed inside the storage roomwith changes over time after stop of cooling, than in the heat accumulating portionsarranged near a second area where a temperature is less apt to come closer to the living environmental temperature thereunder.
