[0034] It should be noted that the cold storage evaporator 6 contains a phase change material 61, and the phase change material 61 can be Freon, or wax, salt, and hydrate.

[0035] The refrigeration principle provided by this embodiment is: the compressor 4 compresses the refrigerant medium into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas and transports it to the condenser 2; the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant medium condenses and releases heat in the condenser 2 and is converted into a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid; the low-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant medium is converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid through the expansion valve 3; the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant medium evaporates and absorbs heat in the cold storage evaporator 6, cooling the phase change material 61, causing the phase change material 61 to change phase and store energy; the phase change material slowly changes phase and releases cold, exchanges heat with the air in the box body 1 through the outer shell of the cold storage evaporator 6, forcing the hot air to rise, thereby cooling the insulation box.

[0036] The refrigeration box provided in the present embodiment is compared with the prior art. The cold storage evaporator 6 is arranged at the top of the inner wall of the box body 1. The cold storage evaporator 6 and the refrigerant medium in the heat exchange component 5 undergo heat exchange. The refrigerant medium evaporates and absorbs heat. The cold storage evaporator 6 can slowly change phase and release cold. A plurality of cold storage evaporators 6 are arranged at intervals, and can evenly cool the box body 1. The cold air and the hot air in the insulation box undergo heat exchange. The cold air can evenly descend, and the hot air rises and exchanges heat with the cold storage evaporator 6 to become cold air, thereby reducing the temperature fluctuation, achieving rapid cooling in the box body 1, and ensuring the uniform temperature in the box body 1. The temperature of the space far away from the cold storage evaporator 6 will not be higher than the temperature around the cold storage evaporator 6. The cold air is diffused into the box body 1 through forced convection heat exchange between cold and hot air, eliminating the need for a fan, preventing moisture in the stored items from being carried away by the wind, and ensuring the storage quality. The heat exchange component 5 can continuously supply refrigerant medium, and the cold storage evaporator 6 can stably release cold, thereby improving the stability of refrigeration.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The heat exchange branch pipe 52 includes a connecting pipe 521, a first branch pipe 522, a transfer elbow pipe 523 and a second branch pipe 524 which are connected in sequence along the flow direction of the refrigerant medium; the liquid inlet end of the connecting pipe 521 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 51, and the liquid outlet end of the second branch pipe 524 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the return air pipe 53; the first branch pipe 522 and the second branch pipe 524 are both parallel to the first direction, and the first branch pipe 522, the transfer elbow pipe 523 and the second branch pipe 524 cooperate to form a U-shaped pipe structure, the first branch pipe 522 and the second branch pipe 524 respectively penetrate the cold storage evaporator 6, and the outer periphery of the first branch pipe 522 and the outer periphery of the second branch pipe 524 are respectively in contact with the phase change material 61 in the cold storage evaporator 6. The connecting pipe 521 facilitates the connection between the first branch pipe 522 and the liquid inlet pipe 51, guides the flow of the refrigerant, and the first branch pipe 522 and the second branch pipe 524 are inserted into the cold storage evaporator 6 for evaporation and heat absorption to realize the cold release of the phase change material 61. The switching elbow 523 can connect the first branch pipe 522 and the second branch pipe 524, so that the refrigerant can flow through the first branch pipe 522 and the second branch pipe 524 in sequence, so that the flow medium of the refrigerant changes. The connecting pipe 521, the first branch pipe 522, the switching elbow 523 and the second branch pipe 524 are connected in sequence, which can guide the refrigerant to flow at the top of the box body 1, and ensure the uniformity of the cold release of the phase change material 61.

The liquid separator 54 can divert the refrigerant so that the refrigerant can enter different first branch pipes 522 at the same time, ensuring that the refrigerant flows evenly at the top of the box 1, thereby making the cold release positions of the phase change material 61 evenly distributed at the top of the box 1, improving the uniformity of cold release, and ensuring that the cold air in the box 1 is evenly distributed.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The cold storage evaporator 6 is a columnar structure, and its long axis is parallel to the first direction. The cold storage evaporator 6 has two heat exchange channels along its long axis.

The cold storage evaporator 6 is evenly filled with the phase change material 61, so that the phase change material 61 covers the outer periphery of the first branch pipe 522 and the second branch pipe 524, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0040] During specific implementation, the heat exchange channel is arranged in the accommodating space.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The heat exchange assembly 5 also includes a liquid collecting pipe 55. The outer periphery of the liquid collecting pipe 55 is provided with a plurality of installation pipes 551 arranged at intervals along its long axis direction. The inlet of the installation pipe 551 is connected with the liquid outlet end of the corresponding second branch pipe 524. An air outlet is provided at one end face of the liquid collecting pipe 55, and the air outlet is connected with the air inlet of the return pipe 53. The liquid collecting pipe 55 can collect the refrigerant in the first branch pipe 522 and the second branch pipe 524, and move it from the air outlet to the return pipe 53. The collected refrigerant is then transported from the return pipe 53 to the compressor 4, completing a cycle, ensuring that the refrigerant can circulate continuously, so that the cold storage evaporator 6 can continuously cool, and the storage effect in the box 1 is ensured.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , an adapter joint 56 is provided between the connecting pipe 521 and the first branch pipe 522, between the first branch pipe 522 and the adapter elbow 523, between the adapter elbow 523 and the second branch pipe 524, and between the second branch pipe 524 and the installation pipe 551. The adapter joint 56 can connect two adjacent pipes to ensure smooth circulation of the refrigerant medium. Specifically, the adapter joint 56 is a rotary joint.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to the figure, a mounting ring 11 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the box body 1, and the mounting ring 11 is detachably mounted and fixed on the outer periphery of the cold storage evaporator 6. The cold storage evaporator 6 can be fixed on the inner ring of the mounting ring 11, thereby improving the structural stability.

[0044] As another embodiment of fixing the housing 1 and the cold storage evaporator 6, a mounting groove is provided on the top of the inner cavity of the housing 1, the outer periphery of the cold storage evaporator 6 is snap-fitted with the mounting groove, and the bottom end of the cold storage evaporator 6 protrudes from the mounting groove.

The compressor 4 has a dual power source, and different power units can be selected during transportation and storage. The setting of the first power unit and the second power unit reduces the limitations of the use of the refrigerator.

[0046] In specific implementation, the dual power conversion mechanism includes a transmission gearbox, a flexible coupling and a diaphragm coupling; the first power unit and the second power unit are connected to the same gearbox through the flexible coupling and the diaphragm coupling respectively with the dual power conversion switch. The dual power conversion mechanism is based on configuring two input ends and one output end on the same gearbox, and selecting one of the power modes to work through the dual power conversion switch.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first power unit includes an electric motor, and the second power unit includes an internal combustion engine. The electric motor uses electricity as a power source, and the internal combustion engine uses fuel as a power source. When there is market electricity, the electric motor is selected as the power source. During the transportation of the refrigerated box, the internal combustion engine is selected as the power source, which improves the environmental adaptability of the refrigerated box, makes the working environment more extensive, and reduces the limitations of the refrigerated box.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 51 and the gas outlet end of the gas return pipe 53 are located on the same side of the housing 1. The liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 51 and the gas outlet end of the gas return pipe 53 are located on the same side, which can reduce the use of pipelines, shorten the flow path of the refrigerant medium, and reduce the area of ​​the pipeline exposed to the outside, thereby improving the protection effect of the pipeline.
