[0007] Optionally, the frame has a groove made of angle steel between each vertical plate, and a sliding groove is provided on one side of the frame, through which the cold storage plate is detachably inserted.

[0008] Optionally, the frame is provided with clips for securing the cold storage plate.

[0009] Optionally, the heat insulation cover is composed of multiple heat insulation sheets connected by zippers, and its bottom is connected to the frame by hooks.

[0010] Optionally, the insulation cover is made of fire-retardant cloth and built-in insulation material, wherein the built-in insulation material is rubber and plastic insulation cotton.

[0011] Optionally, the frame is made of 304 stainless steel, the cold storage plate is a fillable structure, and its packaging material is polyethylene.

[0012] Optionally, the frame is equipped with casters at the bottom.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom of the frame is provided with claws.

[0014] A method for using a ship-mounted cold storage refrigerated cover for transferring fruits and vegetables includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. Place the cold storage plate in a low-temperature cold storage room and continue cooling for 10 hours to allow the cold storage material to fully enter the solid-state cold storage state. S2. Unfold the frame and fix it to the bottom of the fruit and vegetable basket or cargo basket using pins; S3. Insert the cold storage plate that has completed the cold storage process into the slide groove on the inner wall of the frame to ensure that it is fixed firmly. S4. Connect the insulation cover to the top and bottom of the frame using hooks, and pull the four zippers to form a sealed space; S5. The cold storage plate maintains the low-temperature environment inside the cold storage hood by releasing the cold energy of the phase change material. S6. After use, remove the cold storage plate and put it back into the cold storage for re-cold storage; unzip the insulation cover and fold it for storage; fold the frame for storage.

[0016] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1.

Users can choose different quantities and types of cold storage plates according to different storage needs, flexibly adjusting the temperature range to adapt to various transportation and storage scenarios.

[0017] 2. Highly efficient temperature control performance The refrigeration hood uses high-efficiency insulation materials to effectively reduce heat loss and maintain a stable low-temperature storage environment even in high-temperature conditions, extending the temporary storage time of fruits and vegetables in the middle of the cold chain. The cold storage plate uses phase change materials to store cold energy, and can still maintain a low-temperature environment for a long time without an external power supply, effectively avoiding high costs caused by power outages or the use of high-energy-consuming equipment.

[0018] 3. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly Compared to traditional compression refrigeration equipment, cold storage refrigeration hoods significantly reduce energy consumption through natural cold release and energy-saving modes. Using a food-grade HDPE shell and reusable phase change materials ensures no harmful substances are released during use, meeting green environmental protection standards.

[0019] 4. Strong adaptability Adaptable to various transportation and storage scenarios: Not only suitable for shipping, but also for agricultural markets, cold chain transportation, and emergency medicine delivery. By selecting cold storage plates with different phase change temperatures, different temperature zones can be controlled to meet the preservation needs of different types of goods.

[0020] 5. Improve ease of operation The foldable rack with casters allows users to use it flexibly in different scenarios.

[0021] 6. Reliability The equipment is made of 304 stainless steel frame and waterproof, moisture-proof, removable insulation material, ensuring that it can be used in harsh environments and is suitable for the severe environmental conditions that need to be dealt with during marine transportation.

[0022] 7. Reduce usage costs By adopting cold storage technology, the equipment can maintain a low temperature without continuous power consumption, effectively reducing the operating costs of refrigeration equipment. Because the refrigeration hood has fewer mechanical parts and adopts a modular design, it is easy to maintain and replace. Attached Figure Description
