Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of live transportation, and particularly to a water-injected ice box. Background Art

[0002] In the transportation of live seafood, ice is usually used to lower the temperature of seawater in the water tank to maintain the low temperature of the seawater, so as to ensure the freshness and vitality of seafood during transportation. However, during the melting process of ice, the concentration of seawater will decrease, and this salinity change may seriously affect the physiological balance of seafood and even cause its death.

[0003] Existing ice boxes, for example, the water-injected wave ice box disclosed in the Chinese Utility Model Publication Specification CN202188707U, has a wavy structure on the surface and a bottle mouth on one end face. However, this structure is not convenient for handling and taking in transportation operations. At the same time, replacing the internal coolant is not suitable for assembly line operation, and the equipment needs to set the side with the bottle mouth upward.

[0004] In addition, the ice box with a plate-like structure requires a bracket or clamping device in the water tank to keep it upright. If the ice box tilts or topples during transportation, its cooling effect will be affected.

[0005] In addition, in large-scale transportation, the enlarged plate-like ice box may be bent, resulting in insufficient strength. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides a water-injected ice box, and the water-injected ice box according to this application can overcome at least one or more problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] A water-injected ice box includes a box body. A sealable cavity is provided inside the box body for containing a coolant; a heat exchange surface with a corrugated structure is provided on the surface of the box body. This heat exchange surface is a thin-walled structure, and the structures of the inner and outer surfaces are the same.

[0008] In a possible implementation manner, the box body is barrel-shaped, and a hollow area running through along the axis is provided in the center; the surface of the box body around the hollow area is also of a corrugated structure.

[0009] In a possible implementation manner, several feet are provided at the bottom of the box body, and the feet communicate the outside of the box body with the internal hollow area at the bottom.

[0010] In a possible implementation manner, the feet are suction cups.

[0011] In a possible implementation manner, the box body adopts a two-shot injection molding process, and a transparent liquid level window running through the upper and lower parts is provided on the surface.

[0012] In a possible implementation manner, at least one water port is provided on the surface of the box body.

[0013] In a possible implementation, at least one holding opening suitable for hand grasping is provided on the surface of the box body.

[0014] In another possible implementation, the box body is plate-shaped, and heat exchange surfaces are provided in the middle of both wide side surfaces of the box body; a hollow holding opening is provided at each end of the box body, and a water inlet is provided at each end face.

[0015] This application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. The surfaces of the box body are all designed with corrugated heat exchange surfaces, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved by increasing the heat exchange area to achieve more effective temperature control, so as to ensure that the coolant can better maintain the low temperature of seawater.

[0017] 2. The bottom of the barrel-shaped box body is provided with feet (suction cup structure), so that it is fixed in the water tank during transportation to prevent movement. At the same time, the foot design allows the liquid in the water tank to flow freely inside and outside the box body, ensuring the consistency of seawater temperature, which is beneficial to the transportation of live seafood.

[0018] 3. The box body is provided with a holding opening, which is convenient for handling and operation. Especially the design of the plate box does not require distinguishing the front and back sides, which further improves the work efficiency. In addition, the barrel-shaped box body is provided with a transparent liquid level window, which is convenient for observing the liquid level height of the coolant and helps to understand the situation of the coolant.

[0019] 4. The type of coolant is not limited, and various materials such as water, brine solution, and freezing gel can be selected to ensure the most suitable freezing medium is selected according to different transportation requirements.

[0020] 5. The plate-shaped box body is more flexible in use and easy to store. Especially when a large transportation volume is required, the structure of the plate box makes it convenient to stack and store, which helps to improve the logistics efficiency.

[0021] It should be noted that, on the premise that the above various possible implementation manners do not conflict with each other, they can be combined. Description of the Drawings

[0031] First implementation manner

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 1 to 3 , which shows the structure of a water injection type ice box from different angles, including a barrel-shaped bucket box 10a. A sealable cavity 11 is provided inside the bucket box 10a for containing a freezing liquid. The outer surface of the bucket box 10a is provided with a corrugated heat exchange surface 12, and the heat exchange area is increased through the corrugated design to improve the heat exchange efficiency and achieve more effective temperature control.

[0033] A hollow area 13 running through along the central axis is provided at the center of the barrel-shaped box body. The inner wall of the hollow area 13 is the inner surface 14 of the bucket box 10a, and the inner surface 14 is also provided with a corrugated structure for contacting the hollow area 13, thereby further enhancing the heat exchange effect.

[0034] The bottom of the bucket box 10a is provided with foot pads 15. The design of the foot pads 15 enables the outside of the bucket box 10a to communicate with the internal hollow area 13 at the bottom, so that during the live transportation process, the liquid in the water tank can flow freely between the inside and outside of the bucket box 10a. Through this structural design, the seawater temperatures on both the inside and outside of the bucket box 10a can be kept consistent, ensuring a suitable temperature environment for the live organisms during transportation.

[0035] In practical applications, the foot pads 15 are designed as sucker structures, enabling the bucket box 10a to be fixed in the water tank to prevent it from moving due to bumps or vibrations during transportation. This design ensures the stability of the bucket box 10a during transportation, further guaranteeing the safety and effectiveness of the transportation environment.

[0036] It should be noted that at least one water port 16 is also provided on the surface of the bucket box 10a for injecting coolant into the interior of the bucket box 10a. Each water port 16 is also equipped with a cover or valve body having a switching function.

[0037] The coolant is not limited to: water, brine solution, freezing gel (composition: 5 - 10% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA); 85 - 90% water; 5% salt; 0.1 - 0.2% preservative; 0.1% antioxidant), etc.

[0038] To facilitate handling, at least one gripping port 17 suitable for hand gripping is also provided on the surface of the bucket box 10a.

[0039] To facilitate observing the liquid level height of the coolant in the bucket box 10a, the bucket box 10a is made by double - injection molding process, and a transparent liquid level window 18 running through the upper and lower parts is provided on the surface.

[0040] During the live seafood transportation, the bucket box 10a stands upright in the water tank, and foot pads 15 (sucker structures) are provided at the bottom for fixation to prevent movement. The internal cavity 11 of the bucket box 10a is filled with coolant, and the coolant contacts the seawater through the corrugated heat - exchange surface 12, ensuring that the coolant can effectively maintain the low temperature of the seawater, avoiding the decrease in seawater concentration caused by the melting of ice cubes, and guaranteeing the freshness and vitality of the seafood during transportation.

[0041] Second Embodiment

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which shows the structure of another water - injection type ice box, including a plate - shaped plate box 10b. The plate box 10b is internally provided with a sealable cavity 11 for containing coolant. The outer surface of the plate box 10b is provided with a corrugated heat - exchange surface 12, and the heat - exchange area is increased through the corrugated design to improve the heat - exchange efficiency and achieve more effective temperature control.

[0043] As Figure 5As shown, there is a hollowed-out gripping port 17 at each end of the plate box 10b, which is suitable for hand gripping. At the same time, there is a water inlet / outlet 16 at each end face. This design enables the plate box 10b to be used without distinguishing between the front and back sides, thus improving work efficiency.

[0044] Heat exchange surfaces 12 are provided in the middle of the two wide sides of the plate box 10b, and a corrugated structure is adopted to improve the heat exchange efficiency. The heat exchange surface 12 is a corrugated thin-walled structure, that is, the inner surface of the cavity 11 of the plate box 10b is also a corrugated structure to enhance the overall heat exchange effect.

[0045] The plate box 10b needs to be supported by a water tank to maintain its stable erection in the water tank. Nevertheless, the plate box 10b is more flexible in use and easier to store compared to the barrel box 10a.

[0046] Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application in essence.
