The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limitations on the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, or it can be connected, or it can be connected in one piece; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the heat preservation warehouse structure 100 in the isometric direction in the open state of the embodiment of the utility model.

In contrast, when the heat preservation space in the warehouse body 1 needs to be completely shielded, the first sliding door 51 or the second sliding door 52 can be controlled to slide away from the other until the heat preservation space is completely shielded.

[0051] See also Figure 5 to Figure 6 Specifically, the support platform 2 is provided with a first end surface 21 and a second end surface 22 which are arranged opposite to each other; wherein the first end surface 21 is provided with a plurality of placement portions 23 for placing target objects, and the second end surface 22 is provided with a heating device 3.

[0054] Specifically, the support platform 2 and the heating device 3 are arranged to be stacked and parallel to each other, and the heating device 3 is arranged below the support platform 2; a plurality of laterally arranged placement portions 23 are provided on the first end surface 21 of the support platform 2; the placement portion 23 fixes the target object on the support platform 2 and limits the target object so as to distinguish the target objects placed at different positions; a limiting space for limiting the target object is formed between the first limiting wall 2311 and the second limiting wall 2312 in the placement portion 23, so as to limit the movement of the target object in the placement portion 23; one end of the first guide wall 2321 is connected to the first limiting wall 2311, and the other end is arranged on a side close to the warehouse door 5; one end of the second guide wall 2322 is connected to the second limiting wall 2312, and the other end is arranged on a side close to the warehouse door 5 and away from the first guide wall 2321.

[0055] Furthermore, the first guide wall 2321 and the second guide wall 2322 cooperate with each other to form a guide aperture for guiding the target object into the limited space; wherein, the guide aperture is larger than the opening of the limiting portion 231 provided on the side close to the compartment door 5, so as to facilitate the operator to place the target object in the limited space.

[0056] Furthermore, the heating device 3 includes: a heating plate 31 and a temperature control switch 32 ; the temperature control switch 32 is connected to the heating plate 31 to adjust the temperature of the heating plate 31 .

[0057] Optionally, the temperature control switch 32 disposed on the second end surface 22 can automatically adjust the heat generated by the heating device 3 according to the temperature in the warehouse body 1.

[0058] In order to facilitate the heat transfer from the heating plate 31 to the target object, a structure that is beneficial to heat transfer may also be provided at the placement portion 23 .
