[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order; the terms "inner," "outer," "left," and "right" indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0025] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0026] This utility model embodiment provides a flower preservation vehicle with temperature control function, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, the flower preservation cart with temperature control function includes: a base 1 and a water tank 2 fixedly installed on the base 1; a box 3 installed on the top of the water tank 2 for storing and preserving flowers; a mounting frame 4 located inside the box 3; a telescopic storage bucket 5 fixedly installed on the mounting frame 4 for placing flowers, the top of the telescopic storage bucket 5 being funnel-shaped; a cooling element 7 located on the water tank 2 for cooling the water; and a serpentine water pipe 9 installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the box 3 for dissipating cold air from the water into the box 3, both ends of the serpentine water pipe 9 extending into the water tank 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the flowers are first placed in the telescopic storage bucket 5 on the mounting frame 4 according to the length of their stems. Since the top of the telescopic storage bucket 5 is flared, it is convenient to place and take out the flowers. At the same time, it can be designed to have a certain degree of flexibility, which can be adjusted according to the length of the flower stems, so as to facilitate the storage of flowers with stems of different lengths. This effectively avoids the problem of damage to the flowers when taking them out due to the fixed space of the telescopic storage bucket 5.

[0028] Once the equipment is started, the cooling element 7 begins to work, cooling the water in the water tank 2 and lowering its temperature. The cooled water, carrying cold air, is transported through the serpentine water pipe 9, with both ends extending into the water tank 2 to form a circulating water path. As the water flows through the serpentine water pipe 9, the cold air is evenly distributed to all parts of the container 3, thus preserving the flowers in the container 3 at a low temperature. The flared design and extendable nature of the telescopic storage bucket 5 make it easier to store and retrieve the flowers, reducing the risk of damage due to improper handling, effectively protecting the integrity of the flowers, and enhancing their ornamental and economic value. The cooling element 7 cools the water in the water tank 2, and the serpentine water pipe 9 evenly distributes the cold air into the container 3, providing a stable low-temperature environment for the flowers. This low-temperature environment effectively delays premature ripening and wilting, extends the shelf life of the flowers, and keeps them fresh during transportation, meeting the market demand for fresh flowers.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, temperature sensors 6 are fixedly installed in both the water tank 2 and the box body 3, fins 8 are installed on both sides of the cooling chip 7, the fins 8 located in the water tank 2 extend into the water, and a water pump 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the water tank 2, and the water delivery end of the water pump 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the serpentine water pipe 9.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water pump 10 draws cooled water from the water tank 2 and delivers it to the housing 3 through the serpentine water pipe 9. Both ends of the serpentine water pipe 9 extend into the water tank 2, forming a water circulation system. As the water flows through the serpentine water pipe 9, it dissipates cold air into the housing 3, preserving the flowers at low temperatures. Simultaneously, as the water continuously exchanges heat with the cooling element 7 during circulation, the water temperature gradually rises, and it is then pumped back to the water tank 2 by the water pump 10 for further cooling. This cycle repeats continuously, maintaining a stable temperature inside the housing 3. The temperature sensor 6 enables the device to monitor the temperature inside the water tank 2 and the housing 3 in real time and automatically adjust the working state of the cooling element 7 according to the actual temperature, achieving precise temperature control. The installation of fins 8 increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the cooling element 7, accelerates the heat exchange between the cooling element 7 and the water, and improves the cooling efficiency.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a water-blocking plate 11 for trapping tiny water droplets in the cold air is fixedly installed inside the housing 3. The water-blocking plate 11 is located between the mounting bracket 4 and the serpentine water pipe 9. A return water pipe 12 for returning water droplets to the water tank 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 3. The return water pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the water tank 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, tiny water droplets are generated during the cooling process. At this time, the water baffle 11, which is fixedly installed inside the housing 3 and located between the mounting bracket 4 and the serpentine water pipe 9, plays a role in effectively trapping the tiny water droplets in the cooling air and preventing them from dripping directly onto the flowers, thus avoiding damage to the flowers due to excessive moisture. The water droplets trapped by the water baffle 11 gradually accumulate. When a certain amount is reached, they flow back to the water tank 2 through the return water pipe 12 fixedly installed on one side of the housing 3, realizing the recycling of water resources. Through the arrangement of the water baffle 11 and the return water pipe 12, the trapped water droplets can flow back to the water tank 2 to participate in the cooling cycle again, further realizing the recycling of water resources and making the equipment more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, impellers 13 are rotatably mounted on both the water tank 2 and the housing 3. The impeller 13 on the water tank 2 is used to enhance cooling efficiency and ensure uniform water temperature distribution, while the impeller 13 on the housing 3 is used to uniformly distribute cold air. Sprockets 14 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shafts of both impellers 13, and chains 15 are sleeved on the two sprockets 14. A motor 16 is mounted at a height on one side of the housing 3, and the output shaft of the motor 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of any of the impellers 13. A protective cover 17 for protecting the motor 16 and the chain 15 is fixedly mounted on one side of the housing 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the motor 16 is working, it drives the impeller 13 to rotate via the output shaft. Through the transmission action of the chain, the two impellers 13 can rotate synchronously. When the impeller 13 located on the water tank 2 rotates, it can agitate the water, enhance cooling efficiency, and make the water temperature more evenly distributed. When the impeller 13 located on the box 3 rotates, it can evenly distribute the cool air to all corners of the box 3, ensuring that the flowers are in a suitable low-temperature environment inside the box 3. The synchronous operation of the two impellers 13 is achieved through the transmission action of the sprocket 14 and the chain, which simplifies the drive structure and reduces equipment costs. At the same time, the protective cover protects the motor 16 and the chain, extends the service life of the equipment, and makes operation more convenient and safer.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a partition 26 is fixedly installed inside the water tank 2, the partition 26 separates the water tank 2 to form an installation cavity and a water storage cavity, a battery 27 is installed in the installation cavity, and a heat preservation layer 18 for heat preservation of the water is installed in the water storage cavity.

[0036] In this embodiment, the battery provides power to the electrical components in the equipment (such as motor 16, water pump 10, temperature sensor 6, etc.) to ensure that the equipment can operate normally. An insulation layer 18 is installed in the water storage chamber to keep the water body warm. The insulation layer 18 can reduce the heat exchange between the water body in the water tank 2 and the external environment, reduce heat loss, and keep the water body in a relatively stable low temperature state.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mounting shell 19 for protecting the cooling chip 7 is installed on one side of the water tank 2, and a cooling fan 20 for heat dissipation of the fins 8 is fixedly installed inside the mounting shell 19. A controller 21 for regulating the motor 16, the cooling chip 7, etc. is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 3, and a waterproof cover 22 is provided on the controller 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the housing protects the cooling element 7 from damage caused by external impacts, thus improving the safety and reliability of the equipment. Simultaneously, the cooling fan 20 dissipates heat from the fins 8, accelerating heat exchange between the cooling element 7 and the water, improving cooling efficiency, enabling the water to reach the set low temperature more quickly, and maintaining a stable temperature.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting seat 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the housing 3, a support rod 24 is installed on the mounting bracket 4, the support rod 24 is slidably inserted into the connecting seat 23, and a screw rod 25 is threadedly installed on one side of the housing 3, the screw rod 25 extends into the housing 3 and is threadedly connected to the connecting seat 23.

[0040] In this embodiment, while the mounting frame 4 is placed on the water-proof plate 11, the support rod 24 is inserted into the connecting seat 23, and the support rod 24 is fixed by the screw rod 25 to ensure that the mounting frame 4 will not move inside the box 3. Through the cooperation of the connecting seat 23, the support rod 24 and the screw rod 25, the mounting frame 4 is stably installed inside the box 3. The tightening action of the screw rod 25 makes the support rod 24 tightly fixed in the connecting seat 23, effectively preventing the mounting frame 4 from moving inside the box 3 and ensuring the stability of the flowers during transportation.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an exhaust pipe 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the box 3, a waterproof cover plate 29 is installed on the exhaust pipe 28, an electric telescopic rod 30 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the box 3, a sealing plate 31 for sealing the opening of the exhaust pipe 28 is fixedly installed at one end of the electric telescopic rod 30, and a baffle 32 for protecting the sealing plate 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the box 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the temperature inside the housing 3 drops below a certain value, the electric telescopic rod 30 moves the sealing plate 31, exposing the opening of the exhaust pipe 28. This allows the cold air to escape, preventing the flowers from being damaged by excessively low temperatures. In addition, since the sealing plate 31 moves within the baffle 32, it effectively prevents it from contacting the flower petals, thus preventing the petals from being scratched.

[0043] In summary, compared with related technologies, this refrigeration vehicle, through its trumpet-shaped and retractable storage bin 5, enables convenient storage and retrieval of flowers, effectively protecting their integrity. At the same time, the circulating water system constructed by the cooling element 7 and the serpentine water pipe 9 provides a stable low-temperature environment for the flowers, significantly extending their preservation time.

[0044] It should be understood, in the several embodiments provided in this application, that the disclosed apparatus may be implemented in other ways.
