AI Technical Summary
When the existing phase change material cooling equipment solidifies, the non-stress release hole area is prone to risk of bursting and breaking, and the large-area side plates on the shell cannot be deformed and buffered, and holes are required for the outer edge of the sealing column and the feed port. It affects structural stability and lacks a self-locking structure of the sealing cover, which leads to loosening problems.
A phase change material cold storage equipment is designed, which uses extension shells installed on both sides of the shell. The connection between the extension shell and the shell is a stepped flexible structure. The cover and the feed port are connected through threads. The limit ring and return spring are used for Lock the cap to avoid loosening by reverse rotation, and achieve sealing by extending the rod and sealing plug to simplify the sealing step.
The expansion of the phase change material is buffered by the flexible structure of the extended shell, which prevents the shell and the extended shell from bursting. The locking structure improves the stability of the sealing cover, simplifies the sealing steps and improves the stability of the overall structure.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of phase change materials, in particular to a phase change material cold storage device. Background Art
[0002] The phase-change cold storage ice box injects phase-change cold storage material into its inner cavity through the liquid filling port, so that it is used to preserve objects at low temperatures after storing cold. It is generally set in an insulation box to cool the insulation box and is used for low-temperature long-distance transportation. The insulation effect directly affects the quality of the preserved items. Therefore, it is now common to hang multiple ice boxes in a container to achieve the effect of cooling the container.
[0003] In the related technology, a Chinese patent with publication number CN218840146U proposes a phase change material cold storage container, in which a stress release hole is provided on the shell to prevent the phase change material from causing tearing or bursting of the container when it produces thermal expansion and contraction. The sealing column is inserted into the feed port, and the outer edge moves to the end position of the feed port. The fixing rod passes through the rubber ring and the outer edge in turn, and the snap-on cover is set on the fixing rod. The protrusion moves into the slide groove, driving the snap-on cover to rotate, and the protrusion moves into the arc groove to achieve the fixing effect of the snap-on cover. At the same time, the rubber ring is squeezed and deformed to ensure the sealing between the sealing column and the feed port.
[0004] The above-mentioned related technologies have the following defects: 1. The stress release holes distributed at equal intervals are only distributed in local positions on the shell. When the phase change material solidifies and expands in a flat position on the shell, the non-stress release hole area is also prone to the risk of bursting, and the large-area side panel on the shell cannot perform deformation buffering; 2. The sealing column is inserted into the feed port, and its edge is installed on the feed port through a fixing rod. The above scheme requires holes to be opened on the outer edge of the sealing column and the feed port, which affects the stability of the outer edge of the sealing column and the feed port structure. At the same time, the installation of the sealing column increases the complexity of the sealing work of the feed port, which is prone to damage and leakage. At the same time, the sealing cover installed on the feed port does not have a self-locking structure, which causes the sealing cover to rotate in the opposite direction and loosen when it vibrates under the influence of the external environment.
[0005] In response to the above problems, an innovative design was carried out based on the original cold storage equipment. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a phase change material cold storage device to solve the technical problems proposed in the above background technology that when the phase change material solidifies and expands in volume, the non-stress release hole area is also prone to the risk of bursting, the large area of the side plate on the shell cannot perform deformation buffering, the outer edge of the sealing column and the feed port are opened, which affects the stability of the outer edge of the sealing column and the feed port structure, and the sealing cover has no self-locking structure when installed on the feed port.
