This invention discloses an environmental sample preservation box based on
phase change material (PCM)
temperature control. The box includes a body with an inner liner and a sample
holding chamber inside. The outer side of the inner liner is covered by a first PCM
cold storage module, and the outer side of the sample
holding chamber is covered by a second PCM
cold storage module. This invention is applicable to the field of environmental sample preservation technology. It utilizes PCM
cold storage for cooling, maintaining a constant temperature without any external power supply. This breaks through the dependence of traditional cold storage boxes on
electricity, achieving truly passive operation, and is particularly suitable for field and emergency conditions. By setting two PCM
layers with different melting points, it creatively transforms a large external
temperature difference into a relatively stable
internal temperature difference. The outer PCM module absorbs environmental
thermal shock, while the inner PCM module precisely controls the
sample temperature, achieving multi-level gradient
temperature control. The PCM cold storage materials are integrated in a standard modular form, facilitating filling and replacement. The number of cold storage modules can be freely combined according to different transportation durations to meet different insulation time requirements.
