Description
技术领域Technical Field
本发明涉及冷链运输技术领域,尤其涉及一种保温箱、运输装置及运输方法。The present invention relates to the field of cold chain transportation technology, and in particular to an insulation box, a transportation device and a transportation method.
背景技术Background Art
冷链运输,是指在运输全过程中,无论是装卸搬运、变更运输方式、更换包装设备等环节,都使所运输货物始终保持一定温度的运输。根据货物量多少,目前全球冷链运输行业主要采用以下两种方法来运输货物。Cold chain transportation refers to ensuring that goods are kept at a constant temperature throughout the entire transportation process, including loading and unloading, changing transportation methods, and replacing packaging equipment. The global cold chain transportation industry currently utilizes two main methods, depending on the volume of goods.
对于小批量货物,通常采用保温箱运输。在保温箱内放置适量的蓄冷剂,以使箱内温度符合货物运输的温度要求。For small quantities of goods, we usually use thermal insulation boxes for transportation. An appropriate amount of refrigerant is placed in the thermal insulation box to ensure that the temperature inside the box meets the temperature requirements for cargo transportation.
对于大批量货物,通常采用冷藏车运输。冷藏车通过制冷系统使车厢温度符合货物运输的温度要求。Large quantities of goods are usually transported in refrigerated trucks, which use a refrigeration system to keep the temperature of the truck compartment consistent with the temperature requirements for transporting the goods.
然而,采用保温箱运输,温度控制困难,容易出现局部过热或过冷的现象。采用冷藏车运输,由于冷藏车较长,车内温差较大;此外,当冷藏车需要连续不断地往多个目的地运货时,装卸货的多次开关门操作会对车内温度造成较大影响,易导致车内温度分布不均匀,易造成货物局部过冷或过热。即便是采用保温箱加冷藏车的运输方式,也存在难以精确控制温度的缺陷。However, transporting goods in insulated containers is difficult to control temperature, making it prone to localized overheating or overcooling. Transporting goods in refrigerated trucks, due to their length, can lead to significant temperature differences within the vehicle. Furthermore, when refrigerated trucks are constantly transporting goods to multiple destinations, the frequent opening and closing of the door during loading and unloading significantly impacts the temperature inside the vehicle, leading to uneven temperature distribution and the risk of localized overheating or overcooling. Even transporting goods in insulated containers and refrigerated trucks still suffers from the difficulty of precise temperature control.

具体实施方式DETAILED DESCRIPTION
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
实施例一Example 1
本实施例提供了一种保温箱,参见图1~3,该保温箱10包括:箱体1和连接至箱体1的箱盖2。箱体1和箱盖2均包括框架11和设置在框架11上的板块12。保温箱10的结构可以为任意形状,例如圆柱形、长方体形或其他不规则的立体形状。在本实施例中,保温箱10为长方体形,因此在本实施例中,共有6块板块12,其中5个板块12设置在箱体1的框架11上,另外1个板块12设置在箱盖2的框架11上。这6块板块12与框架11共同围成用于容纳货物的保温箱10。如图2所示,每一板块12从外到内依次包括:外部高强板121,挤塑板122,由相变材料制成的相变保温板123和内部板124。The present embodiment provides an insulated box, see Figures 1 to 3, the insulated box 10 includes: a box body 1 and a box cover 2 connected to the box body 1. The box body 1 and the box cover 2 both include a frame 11 and a plate 12 arranged on the frame 11. The structure of the insulated box 10 can be any shape, such as a cylindrical, rectangular or other irregular three-dimensional shape. In the present embodiment, the insulated box 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped, so in this embodiment, there are a total of 6 plates 12, 5 of which are arranged on the frame 11 of the box body 1, and the other plate 12 is arranged on the frame 11 of the box cover 2. These 6 plates 12 and the frame 11 together form an insulated box 10 for accommodating goods. As shown in Figure 2, each plate 12 includes, from the outside to the inside, an external high-strength plate 121, an extruded plate 122, a phase change insulation plate 123 made of phase change material, and an internal plate 124.
在本实施例中,保温箱10的外部高强板121用于固定保温箱10的形状并使保温箱10具备很高的强度,从而使保温箱10耐压且耐撞击。挤塑板121用于保温,可减慢保温箱10与外部环境之间热量交换。相变材料都具有预定的相变温度,因此当环境温度高于相变保温板123的相变温度时,相变保温板123吸收热量,当环境温度低于相变保温板123的相变温度时,相变保温 板123释放热量。通常,可以通过选择不同的相变材料来改变相变保温板的相变温度。由于内部板124位于保温箱的最里面,因此内部板124主要用于保温和美化保温箱的内表面环境。In this embodiment, the external high-strength plate 121 of the thermal insulation box 10 is used to fix the shape of the thermal insulation box 10 and to make the thermal insulation box 10 have high strength, so that the thermal insulation box 10 is pressure-resistant and impact-resistant. The extruded plate 121 is used for heat preservation and can slow down the heat exchange between the thermal insulation box 10 and the external environment. Phase change materials all have a predetermined phase change temperature. Therefore, when the ambient temperature is higher than the phase change temperature of the phase change thermal insulation plate 123, the phase change thermal insulation plate 123 absorbs heat, and when the ambient temperature is lower than the phase change temperature of the phase change thermal insulation plate 123, the phase change thermal insulation plate 123 releases heat. Generally, the phase change temperature of the phase change thermal insulation plate can be changed by selecting different phase change materials. Since the internal plate 124 is located at the innermost part of the thermal insulation box, the internal plate 124 is mainly used for heat preservation and beautifying the inner surface environment of the thermal insulation box.
传统的保温箱通常只有一层普通保温板,即挤塑板,并没有相变保温板,在使用过程中,为了确保保温箱处于较低的温度,通常在保温箱内放置蓄冷剂。每次运输前,需要根据运输时间、外界环境温度和货物多少计算蓄冷剂的用量,然后蓄冷剂进行冷冻、释冷、装箱操作,消耗大量的人力和时间。传统保温箱在使用蓄冷剂保温时,蓄冷剂的冷冻温度远低于货物的冷藏温度,蓄冷剂的释冷效果难以掌控,所以在使用过程中容易出现过冷现象。而在保温一段时间后,蓄冷剂的温度上升并超过货物的冷藏温度后又会出现局部高温的现象。而如何避免过冷和过热,则必须要求装箱的工作人员对于保温箱和配套蓄冷剂的操作方法达到一定水平才行,所以对人员要求较高。Traditional insulated boxes typically consist of only a single layer of standard insulation board, typically extruded polystyrene, without phase-change insulation. To maintain a low temperature during use, refrigerant is often placed inside the box. Before each shipment, the amount of refrigerant required must be calculated based on the shipping time, ambient temperature, and cargo volume. The refrigerant is then chilled, released, and packed, consuming significant labor and time. When using refrigerant for insulation in traditional insulated boxes, the refrigerant's freezing temperature is far below the refrigerated storage temperature of the cargo, making its release difficult to control. This can lead to overcooling during use. After a period of insulation, the refrigerant's temperature rises and exceeds the refrigerated storage temperature of the cargo, resulting in localized overheating. Preventing both overcooling and overheating requires a high level of proficiency in the operation of the insulated box and the accompanying refrigerant, placing high demands on the personnel performing the task.
本发明的保温箱10在使用时,由于已经将相变保温板做成了保温箱10结构的一部分,因此只需要将货物装入箱内即可,操作简单,对工作人员没有特别要求,节省了大量人力物力,也节省了蓄冷剂大量冷冻、释冷和装箱的时间(现有技术中保温箱在装箱前,蓄冷剂需要在低温冷库中冷冻12小时以上,并在冷藏库汇总释冷8小时,货物和保温箱需提前置于冷库中预冷)。同时,解决了运输过程中可能会出现的过冷或过热的问题,也避免了蓄冷剂与货物的直接接触,杜绝了蓄冷剂包装破裂时对货物的污染问题,更为安全。When the insulated box 10 of the present invention is in use, since the phase change insulation board has been made into a part of the structure of the insulated box 10, it is only necessary to load the goods into the box. The operation is simple and there are no special requirements for the staff. This saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and also saves the time of freezing, releasing and packing the large amount of coolant (in the prior art, the coolant needs to be frozen in a low-temperature cold storage for more than 12 hours before packing, and then released in the cold storage for 8 hours. The goods and the insulated box need to be placed in the cold storage for pre-cooling in advance). At the same time, it solves the problem of overcooling or overheating that may occur during transportation, avoids direct contact between the coolant and the goods, and eliminates the problem of contamination of the goods when the coolant packaging is broken, which is safer.
另外,本申请将相变材料做成相变保温板,不但可以通过相变来吸收或释放热量,还可以与内部板配合,从而降低对内部板的强度的要求。这样,内部板甚至可以做成一层膜,内部板的材料选择范围也更大。相变保温板还可与挤塑板相互配合,在保温效果上起到相互增强的作用。由于相变保温板的相变过程是一个持续的过程,并不是一个突变的过程,所以在相变保温板相变的整个过程中,挤塑板靠近相变保温板的一侧的温度基本保持在相变温度,而挤塑板远离相变保温板的一侧的温度为环境温度。在这种情况下,挤塑板的减弱热量传递的功能得到加强。In addition, the present application makes the phase change material into a phase change insulation board, which can not only absorb or release heat through phase change, but also cooperate with the internal board, thereby reducing the strength requirements of the internal board. In this way, the internal board can even be made into a layer of film, and the range of material selection for the internal board is also wider. The phase change insulation board can also cooperate with the extruded board to enhance each other in the insulation effect. Since the phase change process of the phase change insulation board is a continuous process, not a sudden process, during the entire phase change process of the phase change insulation board, the temperature of the side of the extruded board close to the phase change insulation board is basically maintained at the phase change temperature, while the temperature of the side of the extruded board away from the phase change insulation board is the ambient temperature. In this case, the function of the extruded board to reduce heat transfer is enhanced.
具体地,相变保温板123为固态板,且相变保温板123在发生相变后依然为固态板。在本实施例中,将相变保温板123做成固态板后,相变保温板 在相变前后都保持为固态,从而使保温箱的结构不会因为相变保温板的吸热和放热而发生变化,也有效避免了相变材料外泄的难题。在现有技术中,相变材料通常是有机材料,而这些有机材料通常是有毒的、有污染的或者是危险的化学品。如何避免保温箱中的相变材料外泄,一直是本技术领域中的一个技术难题。为了克服这一技术问题,通常需要付出很多的人力和财力来制备密封容器以防止相变材料外泄。而在本申请中,相变保温板123始终保持固态,完全不存在相变材料外泄的问题。Specifically, the phase change insulation board 123 is a solid board, and the phase change insulation board 123 remains a solid board after the phase change occurs. In this embodiment, after the phase change insulation board 123 is made into a solid board, the phase change insulation board remains in a solid state before and after the phase change, so that the structure of the insulation box will not change due to the heat absorption and heat release of the phase change insulation board, and the problem of phase change material leakage is effectively avoided. In the prior art, phase change materials are usually organic materials, and these organic materials are usually toxic, polluting or dangerous chemicals. How to prevent the phase change material in the insulation box from leaking has always been a technical problem in this technical field. In order to overcome this technical problem, it is usually necessary to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to prepare a sealed container to prevent the phase change material from leaking. In the present application, the phase change insulation board 123 always remains in a solid state, and there is no problem of phase change material leakage at all.
进一步地,如图4所示,每一板块12还包括固定框125,每一相变保温板123分别固定在固定框125内,然后固定框125固定在框架11内。优选地,固定框125由木制材料做成。当然,固定框还可以由其他任何合适的材料制成,如塑料、金属或复合材料等。在本实施例中,选用木质的固定框125是因为木制材料质轻而且具有一定的弹性。通过在相变保温板123外设置一个木制固定框125,使表面相变保温板123直接与框架11接触。因为框架11通常是由硬质材料做成,设置于相变保温板123和框架11之间的固定框125可为相变保温板123提供一定的缓冲,避免框架11损坏相变保温板123,而且保温箱的重量不会增加太多。Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, each panel 12 also includes a fixing frame 125. Each phase change insulation panel 123 is fixed within the fixing frame 125, which is then fixed within the frame 11. Preferably, the fixing frame 125 is made of wood. Of course, the fixing frame can also be made of any other suitable material, such as plastic, metal, or composite materials. In this embodiment, a wooden fixing frame 125 is selected because wood is lightweight and has a certain degree of elasticity. By providing a wooden fixing frame 125 outside the phase change insulation panel 123, the surface phase change insulation panel 123 is directly in contact with the frame 11. Because the frame 11 is generally made of a hard material, the fixing frame 125 provided between the phase change insulation panel 123 and the frame 11 can provide a certain cushioning effect for the phase change insulation panel 123, preventing damage to the phase change insulation panel 123 by the frame 11, while also not significantly increasing the weight of the insulation box.
进一步地,如图3所示,固定框125还包括向外延伸的延伸部1251,所述挤塑板122包括与延伸部1251相适配的凹陷部1221,延伸部1251与凹陷部1221耦合从而将挤塑板122连接至固定框125。Furthermore, as shown in FIG3 , the fixing frame 125 further includes an outwardly extending extension portion 1251 , and the extruded plate 122 includes a recessed portion 1221 adapted to the extension portion 1251 . The extension portion 1251 is coupled to the recessed portion 1221 to connect the extruded plate 122 to the fixing frame 125 .
请注意,在本申请中,“内”和“外”都是相对于保温箱来说的。靠近保温箱内部容纳空间的方向为向内,反之,远离保温箱内部容纳空间的方向为向外。Please note that in this application, "inside" and "outside" are relative to the thermal insulation box. The direction close to the internal storage space of the thermal insulation box is inward, and conversely, the direction away from the internal storage space of the thermal insulation box is outward.
进一步地,如图1和5所示,保温箱10还包括设置在箱体1外部的外框架13,外框架13用于固定保温箱并增加保温箱的强度。Furthermore, as shown in FIG1 and FIG5 , the heat preservation box 10 further includes an outer frame 13 provided outside the box body 1 , and the outer frame 13 is used to fix the heat preservation box and increase the strength of the heat preservation box.
进一步地,如图1和5所示,保温箱10还包括设置在保温箱底部的托盘14,用于方便转运保温箱10。优选地,托盘14可由木制材料制成,因为木制材料,有良好的强度、弹性度、且质量适中。当然,托盘14也可由其他任何合适的材料制成,如塑料、金属或合成材料等。Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 5 , the insulated box 10 also includes a tray 14 disposed at the bottom of the insulated box for convenient transport of the insulated box 10. Preferably, the tray 14 is made of wood, as wood has good strength, elasticity, and moderate quality. Of course, the tray 14 may also be made of any other suitable material, such as plastic, metal, or a synthetic material.
具体地,外框架13包括位于外框架13底部的、向内延伸的延伸板131, 延伸板131位于保温箱10与托盘14之间。优选地,箱体1、延伸板131和托盘14上分别设置有相对应的安装孔,通过安装孔与螺栓的配合将外框架13、箱体1和托盘14连接在一起。安装孔可以是通孔,也可以是螺纹孔。当然,外框架13、箱体1和托盘14还可以通过任何一种合适的方式连接在一起,如焊接、铆接或锁扣等。优选地,如图1所示,外框架13的顶部也设置有延伸板132,延伸板132上和箱体1的顶部设置有安装孔,通过安装孔与螺栓15的配合将外框架13与箱体1连接在一起。安装孔可以为通孔,也可以为螺纹孔。通过这种连接方式,将箱体1、外框架13和托盘14有效地连接起来,使保温箱具备很高的强度,从而不容易在运输过程中被损坏。。托盘14则可以方便采用叉车等机械工具搬运保温箱。Specifically, the outer frame 13 includes an inwardly extending extension plate 131 located at the bottom of the outer frame 13. The extension plate 131 is positioned between the thermal insulation box 10 and the tray 14. Preferably, corresponding mounting holes are provided on the box body 1, the extension plate 131, and the tray 14. The mounting holes engage bolts to connect the outer frame 13, the box body 1, and the tray 14. The mounting holes can be through-holes or threaded holes. Of course, the outer frame 13, the box body 1, and the tray 14 can also be connected by any suitable means, such as welding, riveting, or snap fastening.

The mounting holes engage bolts 15 to connect the outer frame 13 and the box body 1. The mounting holes can be through-holes or threaded holes. This connection method effectively connects the box body 1, the outer frame 13, and the tray 14, providing a high degree of strength and making it less susceptible to damage during transportation. The pallet 14 can be used to easily transport the thermal insulation box using mechanical tools such as a forklift.
优选地,外框架13和框架11都可由金属材料制成,例如钢、铝合金、铜等,从而可确保保温箱具备较高的强度。Preferably, both the outer frame 13 and the frame 11 can be made of metal materials, such as steel, aluminum alloy, copper, etc., so as to ensure that the thermal insulation box has high strength.

实施例二Example 2
本实施例提供了一种运输装置,如图6所示,该运输装置包括:冷藏车20、制冷系统30和上述实施例一所描述的保温箱10。This embodiment provides a transport device, as shown in FIG6 , which includes a refrigerated truck 20 , a refrigeration system 30 , and the thermal insulation box 10 described in the first embodiment.
在本实施例中,假设货物的运输温度范围为T1~T2,其中T1小于T2。在运输前冷藏车开始预冷,其预冷温度为T3。当(保温箱内)温度高于相变材料的相变温度T4时,制冷系统30开启,为冷藏车提供冷量从而降低冷藏车的温度。当(保温箱内)温度低于相变材料的相变温度T4时,制冷系统30关闭,从而冷藏车20的温度慢慢升高。通常T3小于T1。通过选择合适的相变材料,使得保温箱10的相变保温板123的相变温度T4在T1~T2范围内。在运输过程中,由于冷藏车20的温度T3小于相变温度T4,那么保温箱10的相变保温板123存储的热量就会通过一层层的结构慢慢释放到冷藏车20中,也就是说相变保温板123会持续吸收大量的冷藏车20内的冷量,且温度长时 间保持在相变温度T4。当相变保温板123吸收了足够多的冷量发生相变时,保温箱10内的温度开始下降并低于相变温度T4,此时冷藏车20内的制冷系统30关闭,冷藏车20内的温度开始上升,当保温箱10内温度上升到相变温度T4时,保温箱10的相变保温板123开始吸收冷藏车的热量,相当于释放冷量,使保温箱10内的温度维持在相变温度T4,直至相变完成。当保温箱10的温度开始高于相变温度T4,制冷系统30开启,为冷藏车20提供冷气以降低冷藏车20和保温箱10的温度。冷气在冷藏车20中的循环路径大致如图1中的箭头所示,即A—>B—>C—>D—>A。应理解,相变保温板123相变所持续的时间由相变保温板123的材料、结构和尺寸决定。本领域技术人员可以根据实际所需要的相变持续时间来相应改变相变保温板的材料、结构或尺寸。In this embodiment, it is assumed that the transportation temperature range of the goods is T1 to T2, where T1 is less than T2. The refrigerated truck begins pre-cooling before transportation, and its pre-cooling temperature is T3. When the temperature (inside the insulation box) is higher than the phase change temperature T4 of the phase change material, the refrigeration system 30 is turned on to provide cooling for the refrigerated truck, thereby lowering the temperature of the refrigerated truck. When the temperature (inside the insulation box) is lower than the phase change temperature T4 of the phase change material, the refrigeration system 30 is turned off, so that the temperature of the refrigerated truck 20 slowly rises. Usually T3 is less than T1. By selecting a suitable phase change material, the phase change temperature T4 of the phase change insulation plate 123 of the insulation box 10 is within the range of T1 to T2. During transportation, since the temperature T3 of the refrigerated truck 20 is lower than the phase transition temperature T4, the heat stored in the phase change insulation panels 123 of the insulated box 10 is slowly released into the refrigerated truck 20 through a layer-by-layer structure. This means that the phase change insulation panels 123 continuously absorb a large amount of the cold energy within the refrigerated truck 20, maintaining the temperature at the phase transition temperature T4 for a long period of time. When the phase change insulation panels 123 have absorbed enough cold energy to undergo a phase transition, the temperature within the insulated box 10 begins to drop and falls below the phase transition temperature T4. At this point, the refrigeration system 30 within the refrigerated truck 20 shuts down, and the temperature within the refrigerated truck 20 begins to rise. When the temperature within the insulated box 10 reaches the phase transition temperature T4, the phase change insulation panels 123 of the insulated box 10 begin absorbing heat from the refrigerated truck, effectively releasing cold energy, keeping the temperature within the insulated box 10 at the phase transition temperature T4 until the phase transition is complete. When the temperature of the insulated box 10 begins to exceed the phase transition temperature T4, the refrigeration system 30 activates, providing cold air to the refrigerated vehicle 20 to reduce the temperature of the refrigerated vehicle 20 and the insulated box 10. The cold air circulates through the refrigerated vehicle 20 as shown by the arrows in Figure 1: A->B->C->D->A. It should be understood that the duration of the phase transition of the phase-change insulation panel 123 is determined by the material, structure, and dimensions of the phase-change insulation panel 123. Those skilled in the art may modify the material, structure, or dimensions of the phase-change insulation panel based on the desired phase transition duration.
通过上述循环,可以使保温箱10的温度精确控制在T4±ΔT的范围内,其中温度浮动ΔT的取值可为0~3℃中的任何一个值,例如0℃、0.1℃、0.5℃、1℃、1.5℃、2℃、2.5℃或3℃。例如,假设货物的运输温度范围为2℃~8℃,则可选取合适的相变材料使相变保温板123的相变温度T4为5℃,即可完全使货物的运输温度在2℃~8℃。而此时冷藏车的预冷温度T3可为0℃。当然,货物的运输温度需求不同,所选择的相变保温板123的相变温度也不同,所选择的冷藏车20的预冷温度也不同。但是不变的是,通过本申请所提供的运输装置,可以使运输温度精确控制在大致以相变温度为中心的一个很小的范围内,温度浮动ΔT的取值在0~3℃范围内。Through the above cycle, the temperature of the insulation box 10 can be precisely controlled within the range of T4±ΔT, where the temperature fluctuation ΔT can be any value between 0 and 3°C, such as 0°C, 0.1°C, 0.5°C, 1°C, 1.5°C, 2°C, 2.5°C, or 3°C. For example, assuming that the transportation temperature range of the goods is 2°C to 8°C, a suitable phase change material can be selected to make the phase change temperature T4 of the phase change insulation plate 123 5°C, which can completely keep the transportation temperature of the goods between 2°C and 8°C. At this time, the pre-cooling temperature T3 of the refrigerated truck can be 0°C. Of course, the phase change temperature of the selected phase change insulation plate 123 and the pre-cooling temperature of the selected refrigerated truck 20 will also be different depending on the transportation temperature requirements of the goods. However, what remains unchanged is that through the transportation device provided by this application, the transportation temperature can be precisely controlled within a very small range roughly centered on the phase change temperature, and the temperature fluctuation ΔT is within the range of 0 to 3°C.

Through data communication between the GPS unit 303 and the temperature monitoring platform 304, remote monitoring, recording and control of the temperature of the transportation device can be achieved to ensure that the transportation device is in normal operation.

实施例三Example 3
本实施例提供了一种运输方法,该方法适用于上述实施例二所描述的运输装置中。如8所示,该方法包括以下步骤:This embodiment provides a transportation method, which is applicable to the transportation device described in the above embodiment 2. As shown in Figure 8, the method includes the following steps:
S1,运输货物前将保温箱10放置到具有第一预设温度的冷库内预冷;S1, before transporting the goods, the insulated box 10 is placed in a cold storage with a first preset temperature for pre-cooling;
S2,开启运输装置的制冷系统30将冷藏车20预冷至第二预设温度;S2, turning on the refrigeration system 30 of the transport device to pre-cool the refrigerated truck 20 to a second preset temperature;
S3,在第一预设温度下将货物装入预冷后的保温箱10内并封箱;S3, loading the goods into the pre-cooled insulation box 10 at the first preset temperature and sealing the box;
S4,将保温箱10移至冷藏车20内并封车门;以及S4, moving the insulated box 10 into the refrigerated truck 20 and sealing the door; and
S5,发货并在运输过程中持续制冷以使冷藏车20和保温箱30的温度在预设温度范围内。S5, shipping and continuing refrigeration during transportation to keep the temperature of the refrigerated truck 20 and the insulation box 30 within a preset temperature range.
通常,第一预定温度高于第二预定温度,且第一预定温度在货物运输所要求的温度范围内。例如,假设货物运输所要求的温度范围为2℃~8℃,那么第一预设温度可选择2℃~8℃范围内的任一温度,第二预设温度可为0℃。这样,如上面实施例二所阐述的,通过本申请提供的运输方法,不但可以精确控制冷藏车和保温箱的温度,还可以提高保温箱的预冷温度。在现有技术中,通常需要将蓄冷剂放置在低于货物运输所要求的温度的冷库中冷冻很长一段 时间,并在货物运输温度下释冷8小时以上,而且必须在货物运输温度下将货物装入预冷后的保温箱中。因此,在现有技术中,操作人员必须在极低的温度环境下进行作业,容易伤害员工的身体健康,而且会增加企业的成本。而本申请则完全不需要在那么低的温度下对蓄冷剂进行冷冻,因此低温冷库就可以少开启甚至不开启,节约能源,还可以节约蓄冷剂冷冻、释冷时间,改善操作人员的工作环境,提高装货效率,减少运营成本。Typically, the first predetermined temperature is higher than the second predetermined temperature, and the first predetermined temperature is within the temperature range required for cargo transportation. For example, assuming the required temperature range for cargo transportation is 2°C to 8°C, the first predetermined temperature can be selected from any temperature within the range, and the second predetermined temperature can be 0°C. Thus, as described in Example 2 above, the transportation method provided by this application not only allows for precise control of the temperatures of the refrigerated truck and the insulated box, but also increases the pre-cooling temperature of the insulated box. In the prior art, the refrigerant must be placed in a cold storage at a temperature below the required temperature for a long period of time, then cooled for at least eight hours at the cargo transportation temperature. Furthermore, the cargo must be loaded into the pre-cooled insulated box at the cargo transportation temperature. Therefore, in the prior art, operators must work in extremely low temperatures, which can be harmful to their health and increase costs for the company. However, this application eliminates the need to freeze the refrigerant at such low temperatures. Therefore, the low-temperature cold storage can be opened less frequently or even not at all, saving energy, reducing the time it takes for the refrigerant to freeze and cool, improving the operator's working environment, increasing loading efficiency, and reducing operating costs.

以上所揭露的仅为本发明一种较佳实施例而已,当然不能以此来限定本发明之权利范围,本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分流程,并依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化,仍属于发明所涵盖的范围。The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention.
