INTEGRATED THERMAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM

Abstract

SUMMARY This invention relates to an intelligent thermal transport system equipped with a sensor-controlled, Peltier-based heat pump that enables the transport of temperature-sensitive products such as food, pharmaceuticals, samples, organs, biological materials, cosmetics, flowers, and similar items within a target temperature range under varying climatic and operating conditions. This system can be powered by multiple energy sources (battery / power bank, solar panel, piezoelectric energy harvesting, vehicle wiring, USB / AC). The system features a multi-layered insulated housing, a removable hygienic inner container, a dual-compartment (hot / cold) interior volume, a vacuum barrier, fan-assisted air / liquid circulation, condensation and drainage units, electromagnetic lock and alarm modules, GPS / IoT telemetry, and mobile / cloud software. Heat and energy management is performed by PID + fuzzy logic + model predictive control (MPC) and / or machine learning-based algorithms. The system optimizes energy consumption and temperature profile using data from indoor / outdoor temperature, humidity, pressure, motion, and energy sensors. Energy harvesting from motion and thermal differences is achieved using piezoelectric and TEG (thermoelectric generator) modules; these are combined on a hybrid DC bus with solar panels and a vehicle line. The core technology is scalable to multiple product families, including motorcycle courier boxes, vehicle-mounted modules, portable cooler / heater boxes, smart backpacks, wheeled suitcases, medical transport boxes, caravan heating modules, and wearable heated clothing. Product design takes into account IP water and dust protection levels (at least IP54, preferably IP65 / IP67, alternatively IP68 / IP69K), MIL-STD-2073 for packaging, MIL-STD-810 for environmental resistance, and UN38.3 reference scenarios for battery transportation.
