[0002] Currently, in the environmental monitoring process, a considerable number of monitoring samples need to be collected and refrigerated before being transported back to the laboratory for analysis and testing. However, most environmental samples are water or liquid absorbents. Water and other absorbents have a large specific heat capacity. Existing refrigerated transfer boxes are generally made using an injection molding process, with the inner and outer surfaces made of PP plastic and the middle filled with PU for insulation. This solution has no active refrigeration function and only relies on ice boxes and ice bags to provide insulation. Especially in the summer, it is difficult to cool down through ice bags and the like. In addition, thermal printed labels are currently used in many occasions. When the temperature is too high, the labels often become completely black and invalid. If the temperature of the refrigerated box does not meet the requirements, the sample temperature will rise, affecting the test results. Existing refrigerated boxes cannot provide a suitable temperature to meet the needs of sample transportation. Utility Model Content

[0013] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention:
[0014] Refrigeration methods are generally categorized into three main types: compression refrigeration, absorption refrigeration, and semiconductor refrigeration. Compared to compression and absorption refrigeration, semiconductor refrigeration is smaller, lighter, and more portable, making it more suitable for outdoor use. Therefore, this utility model considers incorporating semiconductor refrigeration into the refrigerator's modification.
[0015] As shown in the figure, the refrigerator of the present invention includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2 detachably connected to the box body 1. The box body 1 is made of PP plastic and is filled with a PU insulation layer in the middle. The box cover 2 is fixed to the box body 1 by a bayonet, and the box body 1 has a handle on the outside for pulling. There is space for accommodating sample bottles in the box body 1, and a temperature control device is provided in the box cover 2. The temperature control device can collect the temperature in the box body 1 on the one hand, and adjust the temperature in the box body 1 on the other hand. The specific temperature control device includes a semiconductor refrigeration module 22. The semiconductor refrigeration module 22 is laid in the longitudinal middle of the box cover 2 and the cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 faces the box body 1. The area of the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 is the same as the cross-section of the box cover 2. An air circulation fan 24 is also provided on the side of the cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 facing the box body 1. The air circulation fan 24 performs internal circulation to quickly transfer the low temperature generated by the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 to the box body 1; a heat dissipation fan is provided between the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 and the top of the box cover 2 The hot fan 23 and the heat dissipation fan 23 are connected to the external air for external circulation. The heat dissipation fan 23 quickly transfers the heat from the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 to the air. The semiconductor refrigeration module 22 is provided with electricity by the power module 21 to work; the power module 21 is connected to the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 and is located at a corner of the box cover 2. The power module 21 has two power supply options, namely a rechargeable battery and a 12V DC power supply capacity; a temperature detector 26 is provided at a corner opposite to the power module 21. The bottom end of the temperature detector 26 extends into the box body 1 and is close to the bottom wall of the box body 1, so that the temperature of the box body 1 farther away from the semiconductor refrigeration module 22 can be collected. The temperature detector 26 is connected to the input end of the temperature controller 25, and the output end of the temperature controller 25 is connected to the semiconductor refrigeration module 22. The temperature controller 25 displays the real-time temperature of the temperature detector 26 and can set the required temperature. The semiconductor refrigeration module 22 adjusts the working state according to the required temperature. The temperature controller 25 is arranged at a corner of the box cover 2 adjacent to the temperature detector 26 to avoid overlapping with the power module 21. The cooling fan 23 is arranged in the middle position of the box cover 2. Since the cooling fan 23 is connected to the outside, the heat in the box cover 2 can be quickly discharged.
[0016] Sample bottles are generally made of glass, which can break easily when they collide with each other. Therefore, an inner basket 11 is provided in the box body 1. The bottom of the inner basket 11 is a hollow plate 13. The inner basket 11 includes a plurality of compartments 12, and each surface of the plurality of compartments 12 also has the same structure as the hollow plate 13. Since the sample containers vary in size, the sizes of the plurality of compartments 12 are not exactly the same. The space within the compartments 12 serves as an area for accommodating sample bottles. The inner basket 11 can be made of PP or stainless steel as needed. The inner basket 11 can be divided into compartments 12 of different sizes as needed to accommodate the storage and fixation of sample bottles or absorption tubes of different specifications. The inner basket 11 is a hollow mesh structure. On the basis of reducing weight and saving materials, it also provides circulation space for air flow in the box body 1.
[0017] During use, the temperature controller 25 is pre-set to the desired temperature. The semiconductor refrigeration module 22 is powered on to cool the interior of the box 1 to the desired temperature. Feedback from the temperature detector 26 confirms that the desired temperature has been reached. The sample bottles are placed in the appropriately sized compartments 12 and the lid 2 is closed. No ice packs are required for cooling. This utility model uses semiconductor refrigeration to provide a cold source for the sample storage box, effectively preserving samples during transport. The inner basket 11 protects the sample bottles from collisions during transportation. This utility model can effectively replace existing refrigerated boxes and complete the storage and transportation of samples.
[0018] The above embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
