Abstract (en)

A temperature controlling subunit (2), which includes a Stirling refrigerator (6) as a temperature controlling device, is attached to an insulative lid (4). A heat absorbing sink (9) which constitutes a temperature control effect member of the temperature controlling subunit is thermally exposed at one surface side of the lid. The resultant structure functions as a temperature controlling unit. Accordingly, the interior of the insulating container of an arbitrary size can be cooled with its opening closed and sealed by the temperature controlling unit, and items to be stored can be continuously stored for a longer time compared with a case of cooling the interior of the insulating container with solid carbon dioxide and a cold reserving agent conventionally used.
