    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic cold-hot storage using a thermoelectric converter. SOLUTION: This electronic cold-hot storage comprises a cooling chamber 19 cooled by exchanging heat with a heat absorbing face 23a of the thermoelectric converter 23, and a heating chamber 20 heated by exchanging heat with a heat radiating face 23 of the thermoelectric converter 23 provided with the heat absorbing face 23a for cooling the cooling chamber. Cooling of the cooling chamber 19 and heating of the heating chamber 20 is performed by one thermoelectric converter 23. The applied number of thermoelectric converters 23 is thereby reduced to attain the reduction of a material cost and miniaturization. Since the waste heat of the cooling chamber 19 is used for heating the heating chamber 20, energy is effectively used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a protruded portion from being destroyed in the protruded portion provided on a door of a cold insulation warehouse. SOLUTION: A plurality of first protruded portions 13 that form together with an article 8 contained in the warehouse a gap allowing interior cooling air to flow into a ventilation hole 9 are integrally foamed in the inside of a door 2, on the inside of a cold insulation warehouse. Hereby, since the strength of the first protruded portions 13 is increased, the first protruded portions 13 are not destroyed by the article 8 contained in the warehouse. The article 8 contained in the warehouse is prevented from being damaged by rounding the tip ends of the first protruded portions 13, and parts of the first protruded portions 13, that have been assembled as separate parts, are reduced by integrally foaming them to ensure resource saving.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for attachment of a thermoelectric module, which hardly damages the thermoelectric module and lessens the leakage of cold. SOLUTION: In the device for attachment 2 of the thermoelectric module, an inner box 26, a heat conductive member 20, etc., are arranged within an outer box 25, and a cooling member 17 and a heat radiating member 18 are attached to both ends. The inner box 26 and the heat conductive member 20 are both in a concentric positions to the outer box 25, and space 65 exists between the whole peripheral face of the heat conductive member 20 and the inner face of the inner box 26, thereby the cold from the heat conductive member 20 is not transmitted to the side of a heat-insulating wall 5. Since the thermoelectric module 5 is pressed properly to the heat conductive member 20 and the heat radiating member 18 by the elastic force of O-rings 21 and 22, the transfer efficiency of the heat is high. Thermal deformation is absorbed by the O-rings 21 and 22.
