Abstract

The invention relates to a kitchen storage container and includes a partition wall (5) that divides the main storage body (1) into multiple compartments, preventing heat transfer between compartments, a sensor (8) that detects CO₂ and pH changes depending on the gases released from the food items placed in the compartments, a freshness indicator (11) that changes color in response to the detected CO₂ and pH changes, and a locking lid (3) that hermetically seals the main storage body (1).

Description

1 TARIFF PHASE CONVERSION MATERIAL THERMAL BUFFER, ELECTROCHROMIC FRESHENING MODULAR KITCHEN STORAGE CONTAINER WITH INDICATOR AND VACUUM CHANNEL. Technical Area The invention relates to a thermal buffer with phase conversion agent, an electrochromic freshness indicator, and a vacuum. It relates to modular kitchen storage containers that include a channel. State of the Art Current standard containers passively prevent heat transfer between compartments. PCM (Phase Change Material) CO₂ / pH without requiring a thermal buffer or battery. It does not contain a WO₃ electrochromic freshness indicator that reacts to changes. Vacuum 15 The tanks do not monitor the internal atmosphere and require a separate pump. With a single press. No compact structure capable of creating a -0.3 bar vacuum via an integrated channel has been encountered. Thermal containers, on the other hand, have only a single temperature compartment and can store food at different temperatures in the same container. It cannot be contained in the container. The current application, number 2026 / 005162, involves a closed storage volume. Measuring the physical and chemical parameters related to the spoilage process of the food found, Smart systems for processing these parameters and determining the freshness of food. This relates to the storage container. These parameters include temperature, humidity, gas, etc., and are specified in the relevant application. The compartment structure, thermal insulation, and vacuum properties are not mentioned. 25 In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions, the subject matter... Due to its shortcomings, an improvement is needed in the relevant technical field. It has been observed. The purpose of the invention The invention involves a dodecyl alcohol (PCM) embedded partition wall that allows food at different temperatures to be stored in the same container. thermally insulating, WO₃ electrochromic film battery that responds to CO₂ / pH change. Features a passive freshness indicator that changes color without requiring a vacuum cleaner, and a one-press vacuum cleaner. 35 2 A modular kitchen with an integrated vacuum channel that creates an internal pressure of -0.3 bar with the push of a button. It offers a storage container. The uses of this kitchen storage container are as follows:  Residential kitchens (hot + cold simultaneously — no thermal cross-contamination) 5  Restaurants (stock control with freshness indicator)  Catering (thermal control during transport) The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. Thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures, it becomes clearer. 10 It will be understood. Explanation of the Figures Figure 1 is a perspective view of the kitchen storage container that is the subject of the invention. 15 The drawings do not necessarily need to be scaled and are useful for understanding the invention. Unnecessary details may have been omitted. Description of Part References 20 1. Main storage body 2. AC-DC converter 3. Lockable lid 4. Inner lid 25 5. Partition wall 6.

The invention is a kitchen storage container; the main storage body (1) has multiple compartments. partition wall (5) which separates, prevents heat transfer between compartments, food placed in the compartments Sensor (8), 10 that detects CO₂ and pH changes depending on the gases released from the substances. Freshness indicator that changes color in response to perceived CO₂ and pH change (11) and It includes a locking lid (3) that hermetically seals the main storage body (1). The invention features a double-walled P CM partition (5) filled with dodecyl alcohol (Tm 24°C), food container When installed, the phase transition latent heat transfer between compartments is 15 for 6 hours. It blocks with a tolerance of ±1°C. The WO₃ electrochromic film on the lid surface is a freshness indicator. (11), green → yellow → red color change with increase in CO₂ or pH change from food. It does not require batteries or electronics. The vacuum button (10) removes the air inside the container with a single press. It creates an internal pressure of -0.3 bar by releasing pressure through a one-way valve. It has a silicone O-ring seal. Click connectors (12, 13) seal the modules together; vacuum channels also seal them. By combining them, they enable multi-module vacuum applications. The vacuum channel and button (10), which are included in a preferred configuration of the invention, button When pressed, it creates an internal pressure of -0.3 bar through the one-way valve. In a preferred configuration of the invention, the main storage body (1) and the locking lid (3) male and female connectors positioned opposite each other (12, 13), main storage The body (1) and the locking lid (3) are fixed together. In another preferred configuration of the invention, the main storage area is separated by a partition wall (5) 30 It has a removable inner compartment (6) that divides its body (1) into more compartments. In another preferred configuration of the invention, the main storage body (1) inside The pressure balancing valve (7) is located. 35 4 In another preferred configuration of the invention, the main body is designed to facilitate transport. There is a foldable handle (14) mounted on the storage body (1). Also, the bottom There is a silicone base seal (9) that provides a seal on the surface.
