[0002] Insulated containers are containers that can transport goods with certain temperature requirements, such as perishable foods and medicines, within a certain temperature range. They can be transported by sea, road or rail, and can provide door-to-door transportation services within a specific time range. In order to accurately control the temperature inside the insulated container and extend the transportation time, the commonly used methods are to build in a refrigeration / heating unit (mechanical refrigerated container, which can be called active refrigeration) or place a cold storage plate in the box (cold storage insulated container, which can be called passive refrigeration), and the cold storage plate is filled with phase change materials that can store cold.

[0061] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0062] The utility model provides a container 1. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The container 1 may include a box body 10, a slide rail 20 and a cold storage plate 30. For details, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The slide rails 20 are arranged in pairs and are detachably connected to the inner side of the box body 10. The pairs of slide rails 20 are spaced apart along a first direction D1, and the slide rails 20 are arranged along a second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1. The cold storage plate 30 is located between the slide rails 20 spaced apart along the first direction D1 and is slidably connected to the slide rails 20. The slide rail 20 has a notch 20b extending along the second direction D2, and the notch 20b is spaced apart from the inner wall of the box body 10, so that the cold storage plate 30 is connected to the inner side of the slide rail 20 via the notch 20b.

[0063] According to the container 1 of the present invention, the cold storage plate 30 is easy to disassemble and replace and can be conveniently installed at any position in the box body 10, so as to meet different refrigeration needs. In addition, the slide rail 20 is provided with a notch 20b, which is conducive to the installation of the cold storage plate 30 and the slide rail 20, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0064] It should be noted that the box body 10 is generally a hexahedral structure, and the box body 10 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12, a front end 13, a door end 14, a first side plate 15, and a second side plate 16. It can be understood that the top plate 11 is located above the bottom plate 12 and is spaced apart from the bottom plate 12 along the height direction of the container 1. Correspondingly, the front end 13 and the door end 14 are spaced apart along the length direction of the container 1, and the first side plate 15 and the second side plate 16 are spaced apart along the width direction of the container 1. The cold storage plate 30 can be installed to any one or more positions of the top plate 11, the bottom plate 12, the front end 13, the door end 14, the first side plate 15, and the second side plate 16. For example Figure 3 In the embodiment, the cold storage plate 30 is located at the first side plate 15 and the second side plate 16. Accordingly, the first direction D1 is the height direction of the container 1. Figure 5 , the first direction D1 is the height direction of the container 1, and the second direction D2 is the length direction of the container 1. In some embodiments not shown, the first direction D1 may be the length direction or the width direction of the container 1, and the second direction D2 may be another direction perpendicular to the first direction D1.

[0065] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the specific material of the slide rail 20 is not limited, for example, it can be channel steel, profile, etc. The cross-section of the portion of the slide rail 20 without the notch 20b is configured as a U-shape, so as to better accommodate the cold storage plate 30. Furthermore, the slide rail 20 and the inner wall of the box body 10 have matching mounting holes, and the container 1 also includes a fastener, which passes through the mounting hole to achieve a detachable connection between the slide rail 20 and the box body 10. In order to avoid interference between the cold storage plate 30 and the fastener when sliding along the slide rail 20, the mounting hole at the slide rail 20 can be configured as a countersunk hole 20a, and the end of the fastener close to the slide rail 20 does not protrude from the countersunk hole 20a; accordingly, the fastener can be configured as a countersunk screw adapted thereto (the head of the countersunk screw does not protrude from the countersunk hole 20a to avoid interference with the cold storage plate 30).

[0066] See also Figure 6, the cold storage plate 30 may include a cold storage plate body 31 and a connecting member 32. The connecting member 32 is connected to the cold storage plate body 31 and is at least partially located in the slide rail 20, and the cold storage plate body 31 and the connecting member 32 are constructed as an integral molding. A cavity 30d is formed inside the cold storage plate body 31 and the connecting member 32, and the cold storage plate 30 also includes a filling layer, and the filling layer is located in the cavity. It can be understood that in order to achieve a refrigeration effect, the filling layer may at least contain a phase change material (cold storage agent), and phase change materials with different phase change temperatures can be filled according to different types of goods, and the amount of phase change material can be adjusted. Accordingly, the material of the cold storage plate body 31 and the connecting member 32 is preferably high-density polyethylene. Compared with the welding process, the cold storage plate body 31 and the connecting member 32 adopt an integrated molding process, which can avoid the risk of cracking and leakage caused by transportation vibration.

[0067] Please continue reading Figure 6 The outer surface of the connecting member 32 has a recessed portion 30a facing the cold storage plate body 31. It can be understood that in order to inject the cold storage agent into the cold storage plate 30, the cold storage plate 30 also has a liquid injection port 30b connected to the cavity 30d. The liquid injection port 30b is located at the recessed portion 30a, so that the liquid injection port 30b does not protrude from the outermost surface of the connecting member 32 to prevent interference with the slide rail 20. In order to facilitate the disassembly and transportation of the cold storage plate 30, the cold storage plate 30 also includes a handle 33, and the handle 33 is connected to the cold storage plate body 31.

[0068] See also Figures 5 to 8 In order to ensure the cooling effect in the box 10, the number of cold storage plates 30 at each slide rail 20 is not less than two and they are against each other, for example Figure 5 In the embodiment, three cold storage plates 30 are disposed against each other. Specifically, the cold storage plates 30 adjacent to each other along the second direction D2 have contact surfaces 30c, and the contact surfaces 30c of the two cold storage plates 30 are embedded in each other, for example Figure 7 and Figure 8 It is understandable that the contact surfaces 30c are embedded in each other so that the cold storage plates 30 adjacent to each other along the second direction D2 can overlap each other, thereby generating a certain mutual restraint and fixing effect, and improving the stability of the cold storage plates 30 installation and fixing.

[0069] It is easy to imagine that during the transportation operation of the container 1, condensed water will be generated in the box body 10 due to temperature changes. If the condensed water is not discharged in time, it will affect the goods in the box body 10 and the working effect of the box body 10 itself. Figure 3 The housing 10 further includes a hydrophobic member 17. The bottom plate 12 has a water channel 121. The hydrophobic member 17 is connected to the water channel 121 and is at least partially recessed inwardly of the bottom plate 12. Figure 3In the embodiment, the hydrophobic member 17 protrudes downward from the bottom plate 12 so that the condensed water is discharged to the outside of the box body 10. On the premise of ensuring that the hydrophobic member 17 meets the hydrophobic requirements, in order to reduce the heat exchange of the hydrophobic member 17 due to the gas exchange inside and outside the box body 10, the box body 10 also includes a heat insulating member 18, which is sleeved to the outer periphery of the hydrophobic member 17. The heat insulating member 18 can be constructed as a duckbill-shaped rubber sleeve, for example, EPDM (Ethylene PropyleneDiene Monomer). Further, in order to ensure the hydrophobic effect, the number of water guide grooves 121 is not less than two, and the number of hydrophobic members 17 at each water guide groove 121 is not less than two.

[0070] See also Fig. 9 In order to obtain the temperature and humidity inside the box 10, the position of the box 10 and the external temperature of the box 10 in real time, the box 10 also includes a remote detection component 19. Specifically, the box 10 is formed with an inner cavity 10a, and the remote detection component 19 is located in the inner cavity 10a to avoid interference with the inner and outer sides of the box 10 to ensure the detection effect. The remote detection component 19 may include a monitoring host 191, a detection probe 192 and an antenna 193. Fig. 9 In the embodiment, the monitoring host 191 is connected to the top plate 11, and the detection probe 192 is electrically connected to the monitoring host 191, for example, by connecting to the monitoring host 191 through a wire 194. The detection probe 192 can be a temperature probe and a humidity probe to detect the temperature and humidity inside and outside the box 10. Accordingly, the antenna 193 is electrically connected to the monitoring host 191, for example, by connecting to the monitoring host 191 through a wire 194. It can be understood that the aforementioned electrical connection can be a wireless connection in addition to a wired connection. In order to prevent the remote detection component 19 from interfering with the external space of the box 10 and the internal loading space, the inner cavity 10a can have a groove 11a, for example Fig. 9 In the embodiment, the top plate 11 has a groove 11a, and the monitoring host 191 is located in the groove 11a. In order to prevent the equipment in the groove 11a from being affected by temperature changes, the inner surface of the groove 11a also has a first insulation layer, such as a foam insulation layer. Of course, Fig. 9 In the figure, the antenna 193 is also located in the groove 11a, which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] It is easy to imagine from the aforementioned first insulation layer that in order to slow down the temperature change speed in the box 10 and extend the insulation time, the container 1 may also include a second insulation layer, which is applied to the outer surface of the box 10. The second insulation layer can be constructed as a radiation cooling paint, which is a light-colored paint with a high reflectivity of sunlight and meets the relevant standards for coating on the surface of the container 1, including adhesion, acid and alkali resistance, and resistance to artificial aging. The paint can partially reflect solar radiation to reduce the heat gain of the box 10 and extend the insulation time.

[0072] According to the container 1 of the utility model, it solves the problem of large temperature changes and short heat preservation transportation time during transportation of existing ordinary insulated containers (without mechanical refrigeration units and cold storage plates); the cold storage plate 30 in the container 1 is easy to disassemble and replace, which can meet the transportation requirements of goods with different temperature controls, thereby reducing the use of mechanical refrigeration and insulated containers. In addition, the cold energy of the cold storage plate 30 is easy to obtain, such as the cold energy of large cold storage or LNG recovery cold energy, etc., which can reduce energy consumption during transportation, thereby reducing carbon emissions and reducing environmental pollution.
