Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of outdoor food storage, specifically to a temperature-controlled storage device. Background Technology
[0002] A refrigerator is a device that provides multiple functions such as low-temperature storage and food preservation. While refrigerators offer these benefits, they typically require a significant amount of space and consume a large amount of electricity, making them inconvenient for outdoor use. With the rise of outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, camping, and cycling, there is a greater demand for the storage and refrigeration of food, drinking water, and beverages.
[0003] To meet the need for low-temperature storage of food or drinking water outdoors, a common practice is to carry simple insulated boxes, such as aluminum foil insulated boxes. However, aluminum foil insulated boxes have limited insulation performance, supporting only short-term passive insulation. The temperature inside the box will gradually rise over time, and the temperature inside cannot be actively changed, thus failing to meet the needs of long-term low-temperature storage of food or beverages outdoors.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0030] (1) This application sets the refrigeration component and the storage box separately. When the refrigeration mode of the temperature-controlled storage device is required, the refrigeration component is installed on the storage box, so that the air inlet and outlet are connected to the ventilation port, and the storage space is connected to the refrigeration chamber. The cold air in the refrigeration chamber can flow into the storage space for cooling under the action of the fan component. When the refrigeration mode is not required, the refrigeration component is separated from the storage box, and the storage box can be used as an insulated box. At the same time, since the refrigeration component is disassembled, the overall size of the storage box is smaller and the weight is lower, which makes it easier for users to reuse and reduces the idle rate.
[0031] (2) The cooling components adopt a power supply method with a pluggable primary power supply as the main power supply and a power interface as the auxiliary power supply. The power supply and energy replenishment methods are diversified. Specifically, they can be replenished through battery packs, solar power panels, mobile energy storage power supplies, and vehicle power supply lights, so that the application scenarios of temperature control storage devices are not limited.
[0032] (3) The temperature-controlled storage device also includes a soft shell outer casing. The soft shell outer casing can cover the outer periphery of the storage box when the storage box is used alone, or cover the outer periphery of the storage box and the cooling component when the cooling component is installed in the storage box. The soft shell outer casing is equipped with an expansion component, which can be connected to external carrying objects or external devices, such as shoulder straps, hooks, etc., so as to facilitate users to carry the storage box and the cooling component and improve the portability of the temperature-controlled storage device.

[0051] Example 1
[0052] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a temperature-controlled storage device, including a storage box 100, a refrigeration component 200 detachably connected to the storage box 100, a power supply component 300, and a soft outer casing 400.
[0053] like Figure 3-9 As shown, the storage box 100 has a storage space 110 inside. The top of the storage box 100 is provided with a storage box lid for opening and closing the storage space 110. The storage box 100 is provided with a ventilation opening 120 that communicates with the storage space 110. The ventilation opening 120 includes a first air vent 121 and a second air vent 122. Both the first air vent 121 and the second air vent 122 are located at the bottom of the storage box 100.
[0054] The refrigeration assembly 200 is detachably installed at the bottom of the storage box 100. The refrigeration assembly 200 contains a compressor 210, a condenser 220, and an evaporator 230, which are interconnected. The refrigeration assembly 200 also contains a refrigeration chamber 240, within which the evaporator 230 cools the chamber. The compressor 210 and condenser 220 are located outside the refrigeration chamber 240. A fan assembly 250 is installed inside the refrigeration chamber 240. The refrigeration assembly 200 is equipped with a fan... The cooling cavity 240 is connected to the air outlet 260 and the air return vent 270. When the cooling component 200 is connected to the storage box 100, the air outlet 260 and the air return vent 270 on the cooling component 200 correspond to and are interconnected with the first air vent 121 and the second air vent 122 on the storage box 100, respectively. The fan component 250 can drive the cold air in the cooling cavity 240 to circulate between the cooling cavity 240 and the storage space 110 through the air outlet 260, the air return vent 270, the first air vent 121, and the second air vent 122, thereby achieving cooling of the storage space 110. One cooling component 200 can be adapted to multiple storage boxes 100 to cool the storage spaces 110 within multiple storage boxes 100.
[0055] Specifically, when the cooling mode of the temperature-controlled storage device is required, the cooling component 200 is installed on the storage box 100. The air outlet 260 and return air outlet 270 on the cooling component 200 are respectively matched with the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 122 on the storage box 100 so that the storage space 110 is connected to the cooling chamber 240. The cold air generated by the evaporator 230 in the cooling chamber 240 can be driven by the fan component 250 to flow into the storage space 110 through the air outlet 260 and the first air outlet 121. The relatively hot air in the storage space 110 can flow back into the cooling chamber 240 through the second air outlet 122 and the return air outlet 270 and be cooled again by the evaporator 230, and enter the next cycle, thereby realizing the air-cooled cooling of the storage space 110.
[0056] Furthermore, when the cooling mode of the temperature-controlled storage device is not required, the cooling component 200 can be detached from the storage box 100. In this case, the storage box 100 can be used as a standalone storage box, thereby expanding the functionality of the temperature-controlled storage device, increasing its applicability, and reducing its idle rate. The storage box 100 also has a heat insulation layer located outside the storage space 110. This layer improves the heat preservation performance of the storage box 100, reducing the impact of the external environment on the temperature inside the storage space 110. When the storage box 100 is used independently as a storage box, the temperature inside the storage space 110 will not rapidly rise to room temperature in a short period of time.
[0057] like Figure 7As shown, the cooling chamber 240 is located at the left end of the cooling assembly 200, and an installation space is located at the right end of the cooling chamber 240. The compressor 210 and condenser 220 are installed within the installation space. The compressor 210 and condenser 220 are positioned front and rear to optimize the internal structure of the cooling assembly 200 and prevent the cooling assembly 200 from becoming too large, which would cause inconvenience for users carrying temperature-controlled storage devices. Vents 280 are provided on the front and rear faces of the cooling assembly 200. The positions of the vents 280 correspond to the positions of the compressor 210 and condenser 220. That is, the projections of the compressor 210 and condenser 220 on the front face of the cooling assembly 200 coincide with the vents 280. The vents 280 allow the heat generated by the compressor 210 and condenser 220 to dissipate outward, preventing heat accumulation that could lead to a decrease in the performance of the compressor 210 and condenser 220, thereby reducing the cooling effect of the cooling assembly 200.
[0058] The power supply component 300 can be installed on the storage box 100 or the cooling component 200 to supply power to the cooling component 200.
[0059] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the power supply component 300 includes a first mounting part 310 and a first power supply 320 that matches the first mounting part 310. The first mounting part 310 is disposed on the side end face of the refrigeration component 200. The first power supply 320 can be inserted and removed into the first mounting part 310 in a direction parallel to the side end face of the refrigeration component 200. The first mounting part 310 is provided with a first terminal block 330 that is electrically connected to each component in the refrigeration component 200. When the first power supply 320 is installed in the first mounting part 310, the first power supply 320 is electrically connected to the first terminal block 330. The first power supply 320 supplies power to each component in the refrigeration component 200. The compressor 210, condenser 220, evaporator 230 and fan component 250 in the refrigeration component 200 work to cool the storage space 110.
[0060] The first power supply 320 is preferably a detachable independent battery pack, allowing the cooling component 200 to operate independently of an external power source. This eliminates the limitations of external power supply and power cord length on the application of the temperature-controlled storage device. Furthermore, the detachable design of the first power supply 320 allows users to remove the depleted power supply 320 from the first mounting section 310 and replace it with a fully charged one when using the temperature-controlled storage device outdoors. The removed power supply 320 can be charged using external devices such as portable power banks, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the temperature-controlled storage device.
[0061] Furthermore, the first mounting part 310 is located on the left end face of the refrigeration assembly 200 away from the compressor 210 and condenser 220. That is, the first power supply 320 is separately located on the left and right sides of the refrigeration chamber 240 from the compressor 210 and condenser 220. Since the compressor 210 and condenser 220 generate a lot of heat when they are working and the first power supply 320 is discharging, separating the first power supply 320 from the compressor 210 and condenser 220 can avoid the heat accumulation caused by the first power supply 320, compressor 210 and condenser 220, which would lead to a decrease in the performance of the first power supply 320 and compressor 210, thereby avoiding a shortened lifespan of the first power supply 320 and a reduction in the cooling effect of the refrigeration assembly 200. The refrigeration assembly 200 is also provided with a vent 280, the position of which corresponds to the position of the condenser 220 and the compressor 210. The heat generated by the compressor 210 and the condenser 220 can be dissipated to the outside through the vent 280, thereby preventing the compressor 210 and the condenser 220 from getting too hot.
[0062] In some preferred embodiments, the power supply component 300 further includes a power interface 340, which is connected to the first terminal block 330 and the circuits of the various components in the cooling component 200. The power interface 340 is implemented as an AC and / or DC interface. The power interface 340 can be connected to an external power supply circuit via a power cord to charge the first power supply 320 and supply power to the various components in the cooling component 200. For example, the power interface 340 can be connected to an external power source such as a vehicle power supply, a mobile energy storage device, or a solar panel via a power cord to supply power to the first power supply 320 and the various components in the cooling component 200, thus enriching the energy replenishment methods of the temperature-controlled storage device and expanding the applicability of the temperature-controlled storage device.
[0063] In addition to setting the first mounting part 310 and the first power supply 320 on one side end face of the refrigeration component 200, the first mounting part 310 and the first power supply 320 can also be embedded inside the refrigeration component 200. The opening of the first mounting part 310 is located on the front end face of the refrigeration component 200. The first power supply 320 can be inserted and removed from the first mounting part 310 in a direction perpendicular to the front end face of the refrigeration component 200. When the first power supply 320 is installed in the first mounting part 310, the end of the first power supply 320 does not protrude from the front end face of the refrigeration component 200, thereby reducing the possibility of the first power supply 320 being bumped by the outside world and avoiding damage to the first power supply 320.
[0064] Furthermore, the storage box 100 is also equipped with a control panel and functional components, including but not limited to an airflow circulation module, a disinfection and sterilization module, and a display module. The airflow circulation module, disinfection and sterilization module, and display module are electrically connected to the control panel, which can control the operation of each module of the functional components to achieve their respective predetermined functions. The airflow circulation module and the disinfection and sterilization module are located within the storage space 110. The airflow circulation module is suitable for circulating the air within the storage space 110 when the storage box 100 is used independently from the refrigeration unit 200, making the temperature within the storage space 110 more uniform and avoiding localized temperature differences. The disinfection and sterilization module is suitable for filtering and sterilizing the air within the storage space 110, preventing bacterial growth and ensuring safe food storage. The display module is located on the end face of the storage box 100. In addition to displaying the temperature within the storage space 110 in conjunction with a temperature sensor, the display module can also simultaneously reflect the operating status of other modules.
[0065] In addition, the power supply component 300 also includes a first power contact, and the upper injection device of the storage box 100 has a second power contact that matches the first power contact. The first power contact is connected to the first terminal block 330, and the second power contact is connected to the modules in the functional component. Thus, when the cooling component 200 is connected to the storage box 100, the first power contact and the second power contact are connected in cooperation, and the first power supply 320 can supply power to the modules in the functional component.
[0066] In some preferred embodiments, a second power supply (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the storage box 100. The second power supply is located on the side end face of the storage box 100 or inside the storage box 100. The second power supply is connected to each module in the functional component and the second power contact circuit. Thus, when the storage box 100 is separated from the cooling component 200 and used alone, the second power supply can supply power to each module in the functional component. When the storage box 100 is connected to the cooling component 200 for combined use, the first power supply 320 can charge the second power supply through the cooperation of the first power contact and the second power contact, so that the second power supply is in a high power state. After the storage box 100 is separated from the cooling component 200, the second power supply can supply power to each module in the functional component for a long time.
[0067] Preferably, the second power supply is located on the side end face of the storage box 100. Since the storage box 100 has a storage space 110 inside, if the second power supply is located inside the storage box 100, it will affect the size of the storage space 110. By placing the second power supply on the side end face of the storage box 100, the size of the storage space 110 can be guaranteed.
[0068] The evaporator 230 includes evaporator tubes and evaporator plates. The evaporator tubes are arranged parallel to the horizontal direction and are in a serpentine coil shape. The evaporator plates are arranged parallel to the vertical direction on the evaporator tubes. Hot air can exchange heat with the evaporator tubes and evaporator plates to become cold air. Further, the refrigeration chamber 240 is divided by the evaporator 230 into an air outlet chamber 241 and an air return chamber 242. The air outlet chamber 241 is located above the evaporator 230, and the air return chamber 242 is located below the evaporator 230. The air outlet chamber 241 is connected to the air outlet 260, and the air return chamber 242 is connected to the air return port 270. Since both the air outlet 260 and the return air outlet 270 are located on the protrusion 290 at the top of the refrigeration component 200, an airflow channel 243 is also provided in the refrigeration cavity 240 to connect the return air outlet 270 with the return air cavity 242. The airflow channel 243 extends vertically within the refrigeration cavity 240. The top opening of the airflow channel 243 is connected to the return air outlet 270, and the bottom opening of the airflow channel 243 is connected to the return air cavity 242. The hot airflow in the return air cavity 242 is transformed into cold airflow after heat exchange in the evaporator 230 and flows into the air outlet 241. The cold airflow then flows into the storage space 110 through the air outlet 260, the first air outlet 121, the first air duct 140, and the third air outlet 141, and then returns to the return air cavity 242 through the fourth air outlet 151, the second air duct 150, the second air outlet 122, the return air outlet 270, and the airflow channel 243 to form a cycle.
[0069] Furthermore, the top of the cooling component 200 is provided with a protrusion 290, and the bottom of the storage box 100 is provided with a recess 130. The protrusion 290 and the recess 130 are adapted to each other. When the cooling component 200 is installed at the bottom of the storage box 100, the protrusion 290 is embedded in the recess 130. The protrusion 290 and the recess 130 cooperate with each other, thereby restricting the movement of the cooling component 200 relative to the storage box 100 in the horizontal direction. Both the air outlet 260 and the return air outlet 270 are located on the protrusion 290, while the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 122 are located in the recess 130. The position of the air outlet 260 corresponds to the position of the first air outlet 121, and the position of the return air outlet 270 corresponds to the position of the second air outlet 122. When the protrusion 290 and the recess 130 are engaged, the air outlet 260 and the first air outlet 121, and the return air outlet 270 and the second air outlet 122 can be automatically aligned and connected to each other, so that the cold air can flow into the storage space 110 to cool the storage space 110.
[0070] Furthermore, the storage box 100 is also provided with a first air duct 140 and a second air duct 150. The first air duct 140 extends vertically, and its bottom end is connected to a first air outlet 121. The top end of the first air duct 140 is provided with a third air outlet 141 connected to the storage space 110. The second air duct 150 extends horizontally, and one end of the second air duct 150 is connected to a second air outlet 122. The other end of the second air duct 150 is provided with a fourth air outlet 141 connected to the storage space 110. There is a height difference between the third air vent 141 and the fourth air vent 151. Specifically, the third air vent 141 is located at the top of the storage space 110, and the fourth air vent 151 is located at the bottom of the storage space 110. Therefore, after the cold airflow enters the storage space 110 from the top third air vent 141, it must pass through the entire storage space 110 before exiting from the bottom fourth air vent 151. This allows the cold airflow to effectively cool the storage space 110, improving the cooling effect of the cooling component 200. Figure 1 As shown, air guide plates 160 are provided inside the third air vent 141 and the fourth air vent 151. The air guide plates 160 can rotate to change the air outlet direction of the third air vent 141 and the air return direction of the fourth air vent 151. The air outlet direction of the third air vent 141 forms an angle α with the vertical direction, 0°≤α≤135°, and the air outlet direction of the fourth air vent forms an angle β with the vertical direction, 0°≤β≤135°.
[0071] Furthermore, the temperature-controlled storage device also includes a base assembly 500, which is adapted to be embedded in the recess 130 when the storage box 100 is separated from the cooling component 200 to seal the first air vent 121 and the second air vent 122. The shape of the base assembly 500 is adapted to the shape of the recess 130. When the base assembly 500 is connected to the storage box 100, the bottom end face and side end face of the base assembly 500 are integrated with the bottom end face and side end face of the storage box 100. The base assembly 500 is provided with two sealing posts 510, the positions of which correspond to the positions of the first air vent 121 and the second air vent 122. Each of the two sealing posts 510 is fitted with at least one sealing ring. When the base assembly 500 is connected to the storage box 100, the two sealing posts 510 are inserted into the first air vent 121 and the second air vent 122 respectively. The sealing rings fitted on the sealing posts 510 seal the first air vent 121 and the second air vent 122. When the storage box 100 is used alone, the air in the storage space 110 will not be exchanged with the external environment, so that the storage box 100 can play a heat preservation role.
[0072] In some preferred embodiments, the base assembly 500 is provided with at least one pair of wheel assemblies adapted to roll relative to the placement surface for sliding of the base assembly 500 and the storage box 100 on the placement surface. In addition, the base assembly 500 is also provided with a pull rod, which allows the base assembly 500 and the storage box 100 to be pulled and slid, thereby facilitating the movement and transport of the storage box 100 from one location to another.
[0073] The soft-shell outer casing 400 is suitable for wrapping around the outer perimeter of the storage box 100 when used alone, or for wrapping around the outer perimeter of both the storage box 100 and the cooling component 200 when the cooling component 200 is installed on one side of the storage box 100. The soft-shell outer casing 400 is provided with an extension component 410, which is suitable for connecting to external carrying items or external devices, thereby facilitating users to carry the temperature-controlled storage device or connect the temperature-controlled storage device to external extension tables, extension accessories, etc. The soft-shell outer casing 400 is made of thermal insulation material. Therefore, when the soft-shell outer casing 400 wraps around the storage box 100 or the storage box 100 and the cooling component 200, it can further insulate the storage space 110, reducing the influence of the external ambient temperature on the internal temperature of the storage space 110.
[0074] Since the first power supply 320 is located on the side of the cooling component 200, the soft shell outer casing 400 has a corresponding opening and a side pocket 420 on its side. The side pocket 420 forms a receiving space for accommodating the first power supply 320. The user can put the first power supply 320 into the side pocket 420 and insert it into the first mounting part 310, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.
[0075] The soft-shell outer case 400 also includes a carrying strap 430, which includes a strap body and a shock-absorbing pad disposed inside the strap body. The strap body is detachably connected to the extension component 410 to facilitate the user's carrying of the temperature-controlled storage device. The carrying strap 430 is connected to the soft-shell outer case 400 via a buckle connection. The storage box 100 and the cooling component 200 can also be further connected via a buckle connection, thereby preventing the storage box 100 from being separated from the cooling component 200. When the soft-shell outer case 400 only wraps around the storage box 100, the carrying strap 430 can be connected to the buckle on the storage box 100, allowing the user to carry the storage box 100 on their back using the carrying strap 430.

That is, the storage box 100 is provided with a second mounting part, and the second power supply is pluggably installed in the second mounting part. When the storage box 100 is used independently detached from the cooling component 200, the second power supply can be installed in the second mounting part to supply power to the modules in the functional components; when the storage box 100 is connected to the cooling component 200 for combined use, the second power supply can be detached from the second mounting part, or it can be installed in the second mounting part to be charged by the first power supply 320.
