Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics transportation, and particularly to a transport box and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In today's economic environment, the logistics transportation industry plays a crucial role. It is responsible for efficiently and safely transporting various goods from the supply place to the demand place to ensure the smooth operation of the supply chain. During the logistics transportation process, as a key carrier for carrying goods, the safety and functionality of the transport box have attracted much attention. Among them, the goods in the transport box are of various types, and some of the goods have the risk of spontaneous combustion. For example, certain chemical reagents, biological products, electronic products, etc. Once spontaneous combustion occurs, if it cannot be detected in time and effective countermeasures are not taken, it is very likely to cause a fire, resulting in serious losses of goods, and may even endanger the transportation tools, the surrounding environment, and the lives of personnel.

[0003] Currently, in order to cope with this potential danger, setting a combustion alarm device in the transport box has become a common preventive measure. These combustion alarm devices are usually based on various sensor technologies, such as smoke sensors, temperature sensors, etc., for real-time monitoring of the environmental conditions inside the transport box. When an abnormal smoke concentration or a temperature rise is detected, the alarm device will promptly issue an alarm signal to notify relevant personnel to take corresponding measures, such as checking the transport box, evacuating the surrounding personnel, taking fire extinguishing actions, etc.

[0004] However, the environment where the transport box is located in the logistics transportation scenario is extremely variable and complex. These complex environmental factors pose a huge challenge to the normal operation of the combustion alarm device. During the actual logistics transportation process, the problem of untimely combustion alarm often occurs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the above technical status quo, the present invention proposes a transport box and a vehicle, which can cope with more transportation environments and give an alarm in time when the goods in the transport box catch fire.

[0006] According to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a transport box is provided, including: a box body with an accommodation space formed inside and a combustion alarm device, and the combustion alarm device includes: a temperature detection element, at least part of which is arranged inside the accommodation space for detecting the temperature of the accommodation space; a communication element connected to the temperature detection element for sending an alarm signal when the temperature detection element detects that the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds a temperature threshold; and a signal enhancement element connected to the communication element for enhancing the alarm signal sent by the communication element.

[0007] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, including: a carriage; a transport box as described in the first aspect located inside the carriage; and a driver alarm element located in the vehicle cab and connected to the communication element or signal enhancement element of the transport box, configured to receive the alarm signal after signal enhancement and output an alarm.

[0008] Based on the above, for the transport box provided by the present invention, at least part of the temperature detection element in its combustion alarm device is disposed inside the accommodation space, so as to detect the temperature of the accommodation space, and then determine whether the goods in the transport box are on fire by the detected temperature. And it is regarded that a fire occurs when the detected temperature exceeds the temperature threshold. The communication element of the combustion alarm device is connected to the temperature detection element, so that an alarm signal can be sent when the goods in the transport box are on fire. Considering the complexity of the transportation environment, the alarm signal may not be successfully transmitted. The combustion alarm device is also provided with a signal enhancement element connected to the communication element to enhance the alarm signal. Especially in a transportation environment that affects signal transmission, the probability of successfully transmitting the alarm signal is greatly increased, and the successfully transmitted alarm signal can be presented to the staff by the monitoring device in time for the staff to intervene and handle in time. Therefore, the transport box provided by the present invention can cope with more transportation environments and alarm in time when the goods in the transport box are on fire.

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0016] As described in the background art, the safety of the transport box is of great significance. By providing a combustion alarm device in the transport box, timely alarm of combustion can be achieved in most transport environments. However, during the entire transport process of the transport box, its transport environment is usually complex and changeable. In some scenarios, the transport box may be in a transport environment that affects signal transmission for a short period of time. For example, in some remote areas or near mountain forests, the network signal is weak. When the transport box is in such a transport environment, it is very easy for the alarm signal to fail to be transmitted in the form of a network signal. In some scenarios, the transport box may be a special all-metal box or the carriage of the transport vehicle is a thickened and sealed metal body, and it is also difficult for the network signal to be transmitted in such an environment.

[0017] To give an alarm in time when the goods catch fire, some solutions are to provide a reminder device on the transport box, such as a buzzer. When the goods catch fire, the nearby staff are reminded by the reminder device. However, there are not always staff near the transport box. For example, after unloading the transport box from the transport vehicle, the staff will leave the unloading area. Even if the reminder device gives a reminder, it will be of no avail because there is no staff nearby. Moreover, to ensure that the reminder device can remind the nearby staff as much as possible, the reminder device needs to work for a long time when giving a reminder. This will greatly consume the power of its power supply device. Therefore, the power supply device needs to be replaced frequently. Or, to ensure that the power supply device has sufficient power, its size needs to be made very large.

[0018] In view of the above technical status quo, embodiments of the present invention propose a transport box. The temperature detection element in its combustion alarm device is at least partially arranged inside the accommodation space, so as to detect the temperature of the accommodation space, and then determine whether the goods in the transport box are burning based on the detected temperature. And regarding the detected temperature exceeding the temperature threshold as a combustion occurrence. The communication element of the combustion alarm device is connected to the temperature detection element, so that an alarm signal can be sent out when the goods in the transport box are burning. Considering the complexity of the transport environment, the alarm signal may not be successfully transmitted. The combustion alarm device is also provided with a signal enhancement element connected to the communication element to enhance the alarm signal. Especially in a transport environment that affects signal transmission, the probability of successfully transmitting the alarm signal is greatly increased. The successfully transmitted alarm signal can be presented to the staff by the monitoring device in a timely manner, so that the staff can intervene and handle it in a timely manner. Therefore, the transport box provided by the present invention can cope with more transport environments and give an alarm in a timely manner when the goods in the transport box are burning.

[0019] The following specifically describes the processor provided by the present invention.

[0020] According to one aspect of the present invention, a transport box is provided. It should be noted that a transport box can be understood as a container or tool for loading, protecting, and transporting goods. Among them, the design and material selection of the transport box depend on factors such as the nature, weight, volume of the goods to be transported, and the transport mode. For example, common transport boxes include: wooden boxes, cardboard boxes, plastic boxes, metal boxes, etc. The transport box targeted in this embodiment can be any transport box, and the shape of its box body is not limited to Figure 1 the shape shown. In some embodiments, the transport box is a logistics transport box. Among them, a logistics transport box focuses more on a specific type of box used in the logistics transport process. Optionally, the transport box in this embodiment can be a transport box designed based on flammable goods, such as a flame retardant box, but not limited thereto. For example, it can also be a transport box designed for flammable chemicals, solvents, chemical principles, textiles, electronic products, etc.

[0021] As Figures 1-4 shown, the transport box provided in this embodiment includes: a box body 100 with an accommodation space formed inside and a combustion alarm device 200. The combustion alarm device 200 includes: a temperature detection element ( Figure 1 not all shown in the figure), a communication element 210 connected to the temperature detection element, and a signal enhancement element 220 connected to the communication element 210. In some embodiments, the communication element 210 can be integrated on a circuit board, and then the circuit board is fixed on the box body 100. And the signal enhancement element 220 is connected to the communication element 210 through the circuit board, but not limited thereto.

[0022] At least a part of the temperature detection element is disposed inside the accommodation space for detecting the temperature of the accommodation space. As Figure 2 shown, the part 231 of the temperature detection element inside the accommodation space can sense the temperature inside the accommodation space, so as to achieve the purpose of temperature detection. The temperature detection element includes but is not limited to a temperature sensor. In this application, the situation where the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds the temperature threshold can be regarded as the goods in the accommodation space catching fire. Regarding the specific value of the temperature threshold, it can be set based on experience. For example, the historical summer temperature data in the logistics service area does not exceed 50°C, and the temperature measured when the carriage is exposed to direct sunlight outdoors does not exceed 80°C. Then a temperature value slightly higher than 80°C (such as 100°C) can be selected as the temperature threshold, so as to effectively distinguish the ambient temperature and the self-ignition heat of the goods. Specifically, after determining the temperature threshold, a corresponding temperature detection element is selected based on the temperature threshold.

[0023] The communication element 210 is used to send an alarm signal when the temperature detection element detects that the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds the temperature threshold. Among them, the alarm signal indicates that a combustion alarm is required and carries an alarm identifier. The alarm signal can be in any data form, as long as the electronic device receiving the alarm signal can recognize that the goods in the transport box have caught fire. For example, the alarm signal can be text containing the word "alarm", a picture containing a flame, or even a warning voice.

[0024] The signal enhancement element 220 is used to enhance the signal of the alarm signal sent by the communication element 210. By enhancing the alarm signal, at least one of the signal strength, penetration power, and propagation distance of the alarm signal can be increased, but not limited to this. Among them, the specific method of signal enhancement is related to the transmission method of the alarm signal. For example, when the alarm signal is transmitted through the mobile network, the alarm signal can be enhanced through an antenna. Another example is that when the alarm signal is transmitted through Bluetooth technology, the alarm signal can be enhanced through a Bluetooth signal amplifier or a Bluetooth signal power amplifier. Details are not listed here one by one.

[0025] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the temperature detection element can directly output the detected temperature to the communication element 210, and the communication element 210 determines whether the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds the temperature threshold. In other embodiments, after detecting the temperature, the temperature detection element can itself determine whether the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds the temperature threshold, and then output the determination result to the communication element 210. The specific form of outputting the determination result to the communication element 210 is not limited here. For example, the temperature detection element can output the determination result to the communication element 210 through a pre-agreed communication protocol. Another example is that when the determination result indicates that the temperature threshold is exceeded, the temperature detection element can output the power supply signal as the determination result to the communication element 210. After receiving the power supply signal, the communication element 210 starts to work, which is regarded as the temperature of the accommodation space exceeding the temperature threshold. Specifically, when the temperature detection element detects that the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds the temperature threshold, it sends a power supply signal to the communication element 210. After receiving the power supply signal, the communication element 210 is activated, and then an alarm signal is generated and sent out.

[0026] The communication element 210 can send out an alarm signal through the mobile communication network or through the wireless local area network. Among them, the wireless local area network includes: a local area network constructed through Bluetooth technology, WIFI technology or ZigBee technology. That is to say, the communication element 210 is a mobile network communication module or a wireless local area network communication module. It can be understood that the difference in the communication element 210 results in the difference in the signal enhancement element 220. For example, when the communication element 210 is a mobile network communication module, the signal enhancement element 220 can be a passive antenna or an active signal amplifier. When the communication element 210 is a wireless local area network communication module and sends out an alarm signal by means of Bluetooth technology, the signal enhancement element 220 can be a Bluetooth signal amplifier or a Bluetooth signal power amplifier. Regarding the mobile network communication module, it includes but is not limited to 3G communication module, 4G communication module, 5G communication module.

[0027] It should be noted that when the communication component 210 emits an alarm signal, the alarm signal can be sent to the signal enhancement component 220. After the signal enhancement component 220 enhances the alarm signal, the enhanced alarm signal is sent through the mobile communication network or the wireless local area network, so that external devices can receive the alarm signal through the mobile communication network or the wireless local area network. In some embodiments, when the communication component 210 emits an alarm signal, the alarm signal can be sent to the signal enhancement component 220. After the signal enhancement component 220 enhances the alarm signal, the enhanced alarm signal is output to the communication component 210. Finally, the communication component 210 sends the enhanced alarm signal through the mobile communication network or the wireless local area network, so that external devices can receive the alarm signal through the mobile communication network or the wireless local area network.

[0028] In some embodiments, when the goods in the transport box catch fire, the temperature detection component will detect that the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds the temperature threshold. Furthermore, the temperature detection component can send a power supply signal to the communication component 210. After receiving the power supply signal, the communication component 210 is activated, and then an alarm signal is generated and sent to the signal enhancement component 220. The signal enhancement component 220 enhances the received alarm signal and sends the enhanced alarm signal through the network, so that external devices can receive the alarm signal through the network, realizing the monitoring of the transport box. The staff can timely learn about the situation of the goods catching fire through the external device.

[0029] In the transport box provided by the present invention, the temperature detection component in the combustion alarm device 200 is at least partially arranged inside the accommodation space, so that the temperature of the accommodation space can be detected, and then it can be judged whether the goods in the transport box catch fire according to the detected temperature. And the detected temperature exceeding the temperature threshold is regarded as a fire. The communication component 210 of the combustion alarm device 200 is connected to the temperature detection component, so that an alarm signal can be emitted when the goods in the transport box catch fire. Considering the complexity of the transport environment, the alarm signal may not be successfully transmitted. The combustion alarm device 200 is also provided with a signal enhancement component 220 connected to the communication component 210 to enhance the alarm signal. Especially in the transport environment that affects signal transmission, the probability of the alarm signal being successfully transmitted is greatly increased. The successfully transmitted alarm signal can be presented to the staff by the monitoring device in time for the staff to intervene and handle in time. Therefore, the transport box provided by the present invention can cope with more transport environments and give an alarm in time when the goods in the transport box catch fire.

[0030] Such as Figures 3-4As shown, to reduce the power consumption of the combustion alarm device 200 and delay the continuous usage duration of the combustion alarm device 200, in some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature detection element includes: a temperature control switch 231 and a battery 232, and the temperature control switch 231 is disposed inside the accommodation space; the communication element 210, the temperature control switch 231, and the battery 232 are connected in series;

[0031] Among them, when the temperature control switch 231 detects that the temperature of the accommodation space exceeds the temperature threshold, it adjusts itself to a closed state, and the communication element 210 forms a circuit with the temperature control switch 231 and the battery 232. When the communication element 210 receives the electrical signal of the battery 232, it emits the alarm signal.

[0032] It should be noted that Figure 3 and Figure 4 are schematic diagrams of the outside and inside of the box body 100. The temperature control switch 231 is the temperature control switch. This temperature control switch 231 is normally open and will only change to a closed state when the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold. Also, since the communication element 210 can form a circuit with the temperature control switch 231 and the battery 232 only when the temperature control switch 231 is in the closed state, the communication element 210 consumes the power in the battery 232. Therefore, for the vast majority of the time, the goods in the transport box are not burning, and at this time, the power of the battery 232 will not be consumed. In some embodiments, a fixing bracket 235 is provided between the temperature control switch 231 and the box body 100, and through this fixing bracket 235, the temperature control switch 231 can be detachably fixed on the box body 100.

[0033] It can be understood that the signal enhancement element 220 can be a passive device, that is, no power supply is required, and at this time, the signal enhancement element 220 does not need to be connected to the battery 232. The signal enhancement element 220 can also be an active device, that is, power supply is required, and at this time, the signal enhancement element 220 is connected to the battery 232, and the signal enhancement element 220, the temperature control switch 231, and the battery 232 are connected in series.

[0034] Regarding the number of batteries 232, it can be one or more, Figure 3 and the two batteries 232 shown in are not limiting. Preferably, the number of batteries 232 is two. In some embodiments, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes: a battery box 233, and the battery 232 is assembled in the battery box 233. When the battery 232 is used for power supply, the overall size of the combustion alarm device 200 is relatively small. For example, the overall size of the combustion alarm device 200 can be made to be 7*5*4 cm, and the weight is 70 grams.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present invention, when the goods in the transport box are not burning, the power of the battery 232 will not be consumed, thereby reducing the power consumption of the combustion alarm device 200 and delaying the continuous use duration of the combustion alarm device 200.

[0036] To replace the battery 232 with a lower power in a timely manner and improve the stability of the combustion alarm device 200, in some embodiments of the present invention, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes:

[0037] a power detection element connected to the battery 232, configured to detect the remaining power of the battery 232;

[0038] a power prompt device connected to the power detection element and the battery 232, configured to receive the remaining power and output the remaining power.

[0039] It should be noted that for the power detection element, it can implement its own function by using currently known technical means for detecting the remaining power of the battery 232. For example, detecting the remaining power of the battery 232 through internal resistance testing, and detecting the remaining power of the battery 232 by using the correlation between the conductivity of the electrolyte solution and the power of the battery 232, etc. It is not limited here.

[0040] The power prompt device is any electronic component capable of prompting the remaining power. For example, the power prompt device can be a display screen, so that the remaining power can be directly displayed. The power prompt device can be a voice playback device, so that the remaining power can be output by playing voice. In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the power prompt device includes a plurality of power indicator lights 240; the power prompt device is configured to receive the remaining power and light up the corresponding number of power indicator lights 240. For example, when indicating the remaining power through four power indicator lights, for every 25% increase in the remaining power, one power indicator light is lit. For example, when the remaining power is 50%, then two power indicator lights are lit; when the remaining power is 100%, then four power indicator lights are lit.

[0041] In some embodiments, in order to avoid the continuous consumption of the battery 232 by the power detection element and the power prompt device, both the power detection element and the power prompt device are connected to the battery 232 through a temperature control switch 231. Thus, when the temperature control switch 231 is closed, the detection of the remaining power and the output can be performed. Optionally, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes: a maintenance element for short-circuiting the temperature control switch 231. For example, the maintenance element can be a metal wire, and its two ends are respectively lapped on the metal sheets at both ends of the temperature control switch 231 to achieve the short-circuiting of the temperature control switch 231.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present invention, the remaining power of the battery 232 can be obtained through the power prompt device, so as to achieve maintenance, and the battery 232 with lower power can be replaced in time, improving the stability of the combustion alarm device 200.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes:

[0044] An alarm module, configured to receive the alarm signal after signal enhancement and output an alarm.

[0045] It should be noted that the alarm module is connected to the communication component 210 or the signal enhancement component 220, and can receive the alarm signal after signal enhancement and output an alarm. Among them, if the alarm signal after signal enhancement is sent out by the communication component 210, then the alarm module is communicatively connected to the communication component 210 to receive the corresponding alarm signal. If the alarm signal after signal enhancement is sent out by the signal enhancement component 220, then the alarm module is communicatively connected to the signal enhancement component 220 to receive the corresponding alarm signal.

[0046] Regarding the specific structure of the alarm module, no limitation is made here. For example, the alarm module can be a terminal device with a display screen (such as a mobile phone, a computer, etc.). After receiving the alarm signal, the terminal device can display relevant information to output an alarm. For example, the relevant information displayed by the terminal device can be as Figure 5 shown, it can display words related to the alarm information, and can also display the alarm time. The alarm module can also be a voice playback device or a buzzer. After receiving the alarm signal, the voice playback device plays a specified voice to output an alarm. After receiving the alarm signal, the buzzer starts to sound to output an alarm.

[0047] It should be noted that the position where the alarm module is set is related to the sending method of the alarm signal. If the alarm signal is sent using a mobile communication network, the alarm module can be set in a dedicated monitoring place, where the staff monitors the status of the transport box in real time. If the alarm signal is sent using a wireless local area network, the alarm module can be set on the transport vehicle.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present invention, when the goods in the transport box burn, an alarm can be output through the alarm module to remind the staff near the alarm module, so that the staff can discover the fire in time.

[0049] To discover the failure of the communication component 210 in time and improve the stability of the combustion alarm device 200, in some embodiments of the present invention, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes:

[0050] A signal detection component connected to the communication component 210, configured to generate an alarm prompt message after detecting that the communication component 210 sends out an alarm signal;

[0051] A signal prompting device connected to a signal detection component, configured to receive an alarm prompt message and output the alarm prompt message.

[0052] It should be noted that for the signal detection component, it can adopt currently known technical means for detecting whether a signal is successfully sent to implement its own function, and no limitation is made here.

[0053] The signal prompting device is any electronic component capable of prompting that an alarm signal has been sent. For example, the signal prompting device can be a display screen, so that the text of "alarm signal has been sent" can be directly displayed. The signal prompting device can be a voice playback device, so that the content of the alarm signal having been sent can be output by playing voice. In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the signal prompting device includes at least one signal indicator light 250; the signal prompting device is configured to receive an alarm prompt message and light up the signal indicator light 250. For example, when indicating whether an alarm signal has been sent by one signal indicator light 250, if the alarm signal has been sent, then the signal indicator light 250 is lit. If the alarm signal has not been sent, then the signal indicator light 250 is in an off state.

[0054] In some embodiments, in the case where the temperature detection component in the above embodiment includes a temperature control switch 231 and a battery 232, in order to avoid continuous consumption of the battery 232 by the signal detection component and the signal prompting device, both the signal detection component and the signal prompting device are connected to the battery 232 through the temperature control switch 231. Thus, when the temperature control switch 231 is closed, it is possible to detect whether the communication component 210 sends an alarm signal. Optionally, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes: a maintenance component for short-circuiting the temperature control switch 231. For example, the maintenance component can be a metal wire, and its two ends are respectively lapped on the metal sheets at both ends of the temperature control switch 231 to achieve short-circuiting of the temperature control switch 231. After the temperature control switch 231 is short-circuited, if the signal prompting device does not output an alarm prompt message, it indicates that the communication component 210 is faulty and needs to be replaced in time.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to know whether an alarm signal has been sent through the signal prompting device, so as to implement maintenance, and the fault of the communication component 210 can be discovered in time, improving the stability of the combustion alarm device 200.

[0056] To facilitate the staff to eliminate the fire in the transport box in time, in some embodiments of the present invention, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes:

[0057] A positioning component connected to the communication component 210, configured to send the position information of the current location of the positioning component when the communication component 210 sends an alarm signal.

[0058] It should be noted that the alarm information sent by the staff through the communication component 210 can indicate that a fire has occurred in the transport box. To eliminate the fire in a timely manner, the position of the transport box needs to be determined. For this purpose, the combustion alarm device 200 further includes a positioning component. This positioning component can send the position information it locates in real time or periodically. In this embodiment, to avoid excessive power consumption of the positioning component, positioning can be performed only when a fire occurs, and the communication component 210 sends the position information together with the alarm signal. The positioning component includes but is not limited to: a GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning chip, a Bluetooth positioning beacon, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the communication component 210 is a mobile network communication module, the communication component 210 is further configured to locate the current position according to the base station and send the position information of the current position together with the alarm signal. For example, when the communication component 210 is a 3G communication module, a 4G communication module, or a 5G communication module, the communication component 210 can perform base station positioning to determine the position information of the transport box, so that there is no need to additionally set a positioning component. Among them, the process of base station positioning by the 3G communication module, 4G communication module, or 5G communication module can be to measure the distances between the G communication module, 4G communication module, or 5G communication module and multiple base stations, and then use the triangulation method to calculate the position of the transport box, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, when a fire occurs in the transport box, the position information of the transport box is sent together with the alarm information, so as to facilitate the staff to eliminate the fire in the transport box in a timely manner.

[0061] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 To reduce the impact of the combustion alarm device 200 on the box body 100, in some embodiments of the present invention, an openable lid 110 is provided above the box body 100, and a groove 111 recessed into the accommodation space is provided on the lid 110. The parts of the communication component 210, the signal enhancement component 220, and the temperature detection component located outside the accommodation space are all arranged in the groove 111.

[0062] It should be noted that during the process of handling and stacking the transport box, since the combustion alarm device 200 is located in the groove 111, the volume of its leakage is small. Therefore, the abrasion of the combustion alarm device 200 can be greatly reduced. In some embodiments, when the lid 110 is in the closed state, the maximum height of the transport box is determined by the lid 110, and the highest point of the lid 110 is higher than the highest point of the combustion alarm device 200, so that the combustion alarm device 200 can be completely hidden in the groove 111.

[0063] In some embodiments, the lid 110 of the box body 100 can be arranged on the side or bottom of the box body 100, and still the combustion alarm device 200 can be arranged in the groove 111 of the lid 110. Of course, a groove 111 recessed into the accommodating space can also be arranged at any position of the box body 100 other than the lid 110, so that the combustion alarm device 200 can be arranged in the groove 111.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, arranging the combustion alarm device 200 in the groove 111 of the lid 110 can reduce the influence of the combustion alarm device 200 on the box body 100.

[0065] In order to protect the communication element 210 and the signal enhancement element 220 from being damaged by the fire as little as possible or not at all, in some embodiments of the present invention, the parts of the communication element 210, the signal enhancement element 220 and the temperature detection element located outside the accommodating space are all arranged in a housing made of flame-retardant material.

[0066] It should be noted that in the case where the communication element 210, the signal enhancement element 220 and the temperature detection element are all placed in the accommodating space of the transport box, if the goods in the accommodating space catch fire, the communication element 210 and the signal enhancement element 220 are very likely to be burned out and thus cannot be used again. For this reason, the communication element 210 and the signal enhancement element 220 can be protected by a housing made of flame-retardant material. In this way, even if the temperature of the transport box is very high, the housing made of flame-retardant material can also provide good protection for the communication element 210 and the signal enhancement element 220. Even the combustion alarm device 200 can be directly arranged inside the transport box. Even if the goods catch fire, the housing made of flame-retardant material can protect the communication element 210 and the signal enhancement element 220 for a period of time. In the above embodiments, the temperature detection element includes: a temperature control switch 231 and a battery 232. At this time, the communication element 210, the signal enhancement element 220 and the battery 232 are all wrapped in the housing made of flame-retardant material.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present invention, wrapping the communication element 210 and the signal enhancement element 220 with a housing made of flame-retardant material can protect the communication element 210 and the signal enhancement element 220 from being damaged by the fire as little as possible or not at all.
