Abstract
Performance of heat insulation between the outside of a storage container and the inside of a storage chamber is effectively improved. The storage container includes a container body having an opening, a door member closing the opening in an openable and closable manner, and a temperature-controlled unit having a function of making a temperature inside a storage chamberenclosed by the container body and the door member be different from a temperature outside the storage chamber. The container body includes a first heat-insulating material, a second heat-insulating materialwhich is provided partially on the opposite side to the storage chamberwith respect to the first heat-insulating materialand has thermal conductivity lower than that of the first heat-insulating material, and a heat-storage materialwhich is provided at least partially in a region where the second heat-insulating materialis not provided as viewed from a thickness direction of the first heat-insulating materialon the same side as the storage chamberwith respect to the first heat-insulating materialand is formed of one or more kinds of raw material where phase transition is caused between a liquid phase and a solid phase at a temperature between the temperature outside the storage chamberand the temperature inside the storage chamberobtained by the function of the temperature-controlled unit.
