Benefits of technology

The present disclosure relates to an air temperature regulating device for use in a cargo box of a vehicle. The device comprises a portable housing that is attached to the cargo box and is designed to regulate the temperature of the cargo space. The device includes a heat pump, an inlet, an outlet, and two inlets / outlets that allow air to be circulated between the device and the cargo box. The device can be easily installed and provides efficient temperature control for the cargo space.

Problems solved by technology

This typically takes a considerable amount of time (more than one hour per air-conditioning unit) and therefore increases the downtime of the vehicle, is a complex procedure and / or requires specialized personnel.
Furthermore, the air-conditioning unit is relatively heavy (typically 40-50 kg and as a result is difficult to handle.

Embodiment Construction

[0046]Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. Exemplary embodiments are described below with reference to the figures.

[0047]FIG. 1 shows a vehicle 1 with a cargo space. The cargo space may be small, just a few cubic meters. It may also be bigger, up to about 15 cubic meters. Inside the cargo space a cargo box 2 has been placed. In the shown embodiment the cargo box 2 is generally block-shaped and comprises a top wall 5, bottom wall 6, back wall 7 and side walls 9 (cf. FIG. 3). The cargo box can be closed and opened by a front door 4.

[0048]The air temperature in the interior of the cargo box 2 can be controlled (i.e. regulated) by one or more air temperature regulating devices 11. An air temperature regulating device may function as a standalone device or may be placed in series with one or more further air temperature regulatin...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an air temperature regulating device for use in a cargo box to be transported in a vehicle, the cargo box including a wall with a receiving opening, the air temperature regulating device including a portable housing configured to be received in the receiving opening of the cargo box and to be attached to the wall of the cargo box, wherein in the housing are arranged a heat pump, inlets and outlets, wherein the housing includes a head part and neck part adjoining one another, wherein the cross-sectional area of the neck part is smaller than that of the head part to the extent that in attached position the neck part fits within the receiving opening in the wall of the cargo box and the head part covers the circumferential edge of the receiving opening.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure concerns an air temperature regulating device for use in a cargo box, the cargo box comprising a wall with a receiving opening for receiving the air temperature regulating device. The disclosure also relates to a cargo box including an air temperature regulating device, an assembly for transporting cargo in a vehicle and to a method of installing an air temperature regulating device in a cargo box.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In order to store and transport temperature sensitive products, such as medicines, infusion solutions, blood, foodstuffs, cargo boxes have been developed in the past in order to be able to keep these products within a certain range of temperatures during storage and transport for an extensive range of (varying) outside temperatures. For instance, for storing and transporting edibles, a temperature of between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius may be recommended, while for many types of medication and other goods “room...
