[0016] Example 1: Small blood refrigerator

[0017] The outer dimensions of this blood refrigerator are 500X400X400mm. The shell adopts a three-layer structure. The outer and inner layers are both foamed polypropylene with a thermal conductivity of 0.02W / mK. The inner foamed polypropylene board has vertical grooves with a spacing of 50mm and a groove depth of 5mm. The middle layer uses a vacuum insulation board with a thermal conductivity of 0.002W / mK and a thickness of 20mm to further enhance the thermal insulation effect. After comprehensive consideration, the total thickness of the shell is designed to be 50mm to balance the thermal insulation effect and internal space requirements. The bottom of the box is a recessed design, and the top cover of the box is a recessed design. The size of the recessed area is 450X350X10mm, and the depth is 10mm. The protruding frame on the edge of the recessed area is an intermittent non-continuous structure with a spacing of 10mm.

[0018] The refrigerator is cooled by semiconductor chips. Considering the cooling demand and space limitation, 4 groups of semiconductor chips with a maximum cooling capacity of 5W are selected. The size is 30X30X2mm, which is easy to install and can meet the cooling power requirements. The heat dissipation position is set on the top cover of the refrigerator. A large area of ​​heat dissipation fins is used with a low-noise fan for active heat dissipation. The total thickness of the semiconductor chip and the corresponding heat dissipation device is 50mm, embedded in the foamed polypropylene, and the heat dissipation device protrudes from the top cover recessed area by 5-8mm. 4 groups of rechargeable lithium batteries with a capacity of 5000Ah are configured. Each group of batteries powers a group of semiconductor chips, which can be charged through the type-c interface. The type-c interface is convenient and universal and has a certain fast charging capability. The semiconductor chip is connected to the battery through an intelligent temperature control system. The system can monitor the internal temperature in real time and automatically adjust the working state of the semiconductor chip. When the internal temperature rises, the chip increases the cooling power; when the temperature drops to a certain level, the chip reduces the power or stops working to save power, ensuring that the internal low temperature environment of -20℃ is maintained within 48 hours to ensure the safe storage and transportation of blood.

[0019] Example 2: Medium-sized hot and cold food delivery box

[0020] The box body is 1000mmX500mmX500mm, and adopts a unique sandwich structure of polyurethane foam and vacuum insulation panels. It has excellent thermal insulation performance and can effectively block heat transfer. The two layers of materials are tightly combined and the middle sandwich design ensures that the box body has excellent thermal insulation and cold preservation performance while ensuring strength, effectively reducing the impact of the external environment on the temperature inside the box.

[0021] The box is rationally divided into two independent compartments, namely the cold storage room and the hot storage room. There are digital display modules on the outside of each compartment to observe the internal temperature. The volume of the cold storage room is twice that of the hot storage room. There is a high-efficiency polyurethane foam insulation layer between the two. The thermal resistance of the insulation layer is as high as 15-20 (m 2·K) / W, further reducing the heat conduction between the two cabins. Each cabin has an independent sealing cover on the top. The high-performance sealing strip installed on the edge of the cover can form a good airtight environment when the cover is closed, so that the air leakage rate of the cabin is controlled at 0.05m 3 / h; the surface is covered with photovoltaic film, and the electricity generated is stored in the top battery that crosses the isolation layer and is connected to the cooling and heating semiconductor chip in the thermal insulation layer.

[0022] According to the volume and usage requirements of the cabin, 20 semiconductor cooling and heating chips are configured. The size of each chip is 50mmX50mmX20mm, embedded in the thermal insulation layer, and the edge is tightly sealed with the foam to prevent air leakage. The wires carried pass through the foam and are connected to the power supply on the top of the insulation layer. The N-type surface of each group of semiconductors faces the cold storage room, and the P-type surface faces the hot storage room. The current enters from the N side and exits from the P side. On the side of the cold storage room, the cooling chip can work stably and maintain the cold end temperature in the ideal range of -10℃±1℃, which is enough to meet the low temperature requirements for storing cold drinks and perishable foods; on the side of the hot storage room, the heating chip can work stably, and the thermal efficiency can reach more than 92%. Depending on the amount of items stored in the hot storage room, the temperature is between 20 and 50℃, meeting the needs of hot drinks, hot water, hot meals, hot coffee, etc. In order to ensure uniform temperature in the storage room, a small fan is equipped, which can be snapped on the surface of the semiconductor chip for forced heat dissipation and cooling. The box is also equipped with a USB port with an output voltage of 5V and an output current of 2A, which is convenient for emergency charging of electronic devices.

[0023] The delivery box can only set the temperature of the refrigerator compartment, with a setting range of -20℃ to -5℃. The temperature of the hot compartment is not controlled and varies between 20-50℃ according to the working status of the refrigerator compartment and the number of items in the hot compartment. The maximum temperature difference between the hot compartment and the refrigerator compartment can reach 60℃. The delivery box can be used for food delivery, camping, and picnics.

[0024] Example 3: Large cold chain transport box

[0025] my country's fresh food transportation market is huge and continues to grow, but the traditional cold chain vehicle compressor refrigeration method has problems such as large size, high energy consumption, and complex maintenance. In order to improve the current situation, the following semiconductor refrigeration fresh food cold chain vehicle solution is specially designed.

[0026] The transport vehicle is 12 meters long, 2.5 meters wide and 2.3 meters high. The bottom of the carriage is paved with foamed polystyrene boards, and the surrounding and top surfaces are covered with nano airbag heat insulation covers to keep fresh food cold in the box. Semiconductor refrigeration chips are installed on the side panels and front panels of the carriage. The side installation area is 7 meters long and 2 meters high, and the front panel installation area is 2.5 meters wide and 2 meters high. 40mm×40mm×4mm refrigeration chips are selected, 200 chips are installed on each side panel, 100 chips are installed on the front panel, and a total of 500 chips form a refrigeration array. There are 50 groups of cold air pipes on each side, and 100 groups of cold air pipes on both sides. The length of the cold air pipe is 2 meters, which is laid from one side to the other for cold air transmission. There are 10 groups of cold air pipes on the front panel, with a length of 12 meters, which are laid from the front panel to the rear panel. The temperature sensor uses a thermistor wireless resistor with a measurement accuracy of ±0.5℃. Ten sensors are evenly arranged in the car, and one is arranged in each fresh food box. The temperature control system adjusts the semiconductor refrigeration module to work in the range of -8℃ to +8℃ to ensure the quality of fresh food transportation and reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. The algorithm system calculates the temperature sensor measurement data, and then controls the working surface temperature of 500 refrigeration plates in the car and the wind speed in 110 sets of cold air pipes to achieve a balanced temperature in the car.

[0027] The power supply adopts 10000Ah lithium battery and solid-state battery, and 5 battery installation compartments are set up, each compartment can accommodate 1 battery, and the battery management system monitors the battery status in real time. The battery can be charged multiple times and can also be replaced at the highway service area.

[0028] In the cold air delivery system, the metal heat sink at the cold end has a size of 50mm×50mm×3mm, with one piece corresponding to each semiconductor refrigeration plate. There is a fan on the surface of the refrigeration plate. Ten refrigeration plates are grouped together to deliver cold air to the connected hose. The hose has a diameter of 10mm and is connected from the heat sink to the gap of the fresh food box. The size of the fresh food box is 600mm×400mm×300mm. The size of the external porous plate is adapted to the side of the box, with a hole diameter of 5mm and a hole spacing of 20mm for cold air diffusion.

[0029] The hot end of each semiconductor refrigeration plate is in direct contact with the atmosphere outside the vehicle. When the vehicle moves at high speed, the atmosphere and the semiconductor hot surface quickly exchange heat, and the hot surface dissipates heat efficiently and naturally.

[0030] This system is used to transport fresh produce in summer. Compared with traditional methods, it saves 50% of energy and the ethylene content in each cubic meter of air in the carriage does not exceed 0.05 microliters.
