Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cold chain boxes, in particular to a multi-layer cold chain box. Background Art

[0002] Cold chain logistics is a crucial component of modern logistics systems, especially in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals that require strict temperature control. The reliability of cold chain transportation is directly related to product safety and quality. As core equipment in cold chain transportation, cold chain boxes bear the critical task of maintaining a low temperature environment during transportation. Traditional cold chain boxes typically rely on a single refrigerant or ice pack to maintain the low temperature environment within the box, and use insulating materials to reduce the intrusion of external heat. However, these traditional cold chain boxes have some significant shortcomings in practical applications.

[0003] First, the insulation performance of traditional cold chain containers is often limited by the amount and distribution of the refrigerant. Because the refrigerant is fixed in place, uneven temperature distribution can occur within the container. This can lead to some areas being too cold, potentially freezing items, while other areas are warmer, making it difficult to effectively maintain the required cold chain temperature. This temperature unevenness can cause serious quality issues in scenarios with long transport times or high temperature requirements.

[0004] Secondly, the refrigerant in traditional cold chain boxes is typically single-use or requires complex procedures for reuse. This not only increases the user burden but also limits the use of cold chain boxes for long-distance transportation or for long-term heat preservation needs. Especially in long-distance transportation, the refrigerant gradually loses its effectiveness over time, and the temperature inside the cold chain box cannot be continuously maintained within the ideal range, thus affecting the quality and safety of the goods.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a multi-layer cold chain box:

[0041] The structure of the box body and the lid:

[0042] The box body 1 is made of high-strength polypropylene material. This material not only has excellent impact resistance and corrosion resistance, but also can maintain its physical properties within a large temperature range, ensuring that the box body can be used normally in different environments. The outer shape of the box body is designed as a rectangle.

[0043] The lid 2 is fixed to the upper port of the box body 1 through a durable stainless steel hinge. A high-quality silicone rubber seal ring 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the lid. This seal ring has high elasticity and durability, and can form a tight seal when closed, preventing the cold air inside the box from leaking out and blocking the outside hot air from entering.

[0044] The design of the thermal insulation inner liner:

[0045] The thermal insulation inner liner 3 is the core part of this cold chain box. Its rectangular groove-like structure design can maximize the utilization rate of the internal space and ensure the safe storage of internal items at the same time. The outer layer of the inner liner is a heat-reflecting layer 31, which is made of multi-layer aluminized polyester film material. The multi-layer structure of this material can not only reflect the radiant heat from the outside, but also form a reflection effect inside the inner liner, reducing the loss of cold air and improving the overall thermal insulation performance.

[0046] The thermal insulation layer 32 is made of polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam has excellent thermal insulation performance. Since its interior is filled with tiny closed-cell foams, it can effectively isolate heat conduction. The thickness of the thermal insulation layer is carefully designed to ensure good heat insulation effect without occupying too much internal space of the box body, enabling the inner container to hold more cold-chain items.

[0047] The inner fixing layer 33 is made of high-density polyethylene material. This material has good toughness and strength and can provide stable support for the built-in cold storage module. Through precision machining, the inner fixing layer forms multiple docking slots 331. These slots match the T-shaped splicing teeth 43 of the cold storage module 4, ensuring that the cold storage module can be stably installed in the inner container and preventing the cold storage module from shifting due to vibration or jolting during transportation.

[0048] Configuration of the cold storage module:

[0049] The cold storage module 4 is a key component to achieve a low-temperature environment. It is composed of four independent water storage boxes 41. These water storage boxes are attached to the surrounding side walls of the inner fixing layer 33 and are responsible for controlling the temperature of the front, back, left, and right of the inner container respectively. On the outer surface of each water storage box, there are two vertically parallel distributed T-shaped splicing teeth 43. This design ensures a tight combination between the water storage box and the inner fixing layer, preventing the water storage box from falling off when the box body tilts or moves.

[0050] At the center of the top of the water storage box 41, there is a water injection port 42, which is convenient for users to inject water. The water injection port is designed as a spiral sealing port, which can ensure no leakage during the water injection and sealing process. Users can inject an appropriate amount of water through the water injection port according to needs, and then put the water storage box into the refrigerator for freezing. After freezing, solid ice is formed inside the water storage box, which can provide a long-term continuous low-temperature environment after being placed in the cold-chain box. The material of the water storage box is selected as low-temperature resistant plastic to ensure that it will not become brittle or crack in the frozen state, and each water storage box has a certain wall thickness to ensure durability during multiple uses.

[0051] Anti-slip design:

[0052] To improve the stability of the cold-chain box during transportation, a rectangular frame-shaped anti-slip pad 11 is specially designed at the bottom of the box body 1. The anti-slip pad is made of high-wear-resistant rubber material. The rubber material not only provides good anti-slip effect but also can absorb the vibration and impact generated during transportation, further protecting the box body and the internal items. The rectangular frame-shaped design of the anti-slip pad enables the box body to maintain a stable position on the smooth carriage or warehouse floor, preventing the box body from sliding due to vehicle jolting or uneven ground.

[0053] Usage method

[0054] Before use, the user needs to inject an appropriate amount of water into the water storage box 41 through the water injection port 42. The water injection volume should be controlled at about 80% of the volume of the water storage box to reserve space for the expansion of the water body during the freezing process and prevent the water storage box from cracking. Subsequently, place the water injection-filled water storage box flat in the freezer of the refrigerator for freezing, usually for more than 12 hours to ensure that the water is completely frozen into solid ice cubes.

[0055] After the freezing is completed, take out the water storage box and insert it one by one onto the inner fixing layer 33 inside the heat preservation inner liner 3, ensuring that the T-shaped splicing teeth 43 are perfectly fitted with the docking slots 331 of the inner fixing layer to ensure the stability and firmness of the cold storage module.

[0056] Neatly place the items to be refrigerated into the box body 1, avoiding direct contact between the items and the water storage box to prevent the items from being frostbitten due to direct contact. Then, close the box cover 2 and check whether the sealing ring 21 is in close contact with the upper opening of the box body to ensure that the box body is in a good sealed state.

[0057] During transportation, regularly check the state of the box body 1, especially during long-distance transportation, to ensure that the box body is always in an upright state to maintain the best working state of the cold storage module. If the internal temperature of the box body rises due to long-term transportation, it is possible to consider replacing or adding additional frozen water storage boxes during the journey to ensure the continuity of the cold chain environment.

[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
