Definitions
- Transport box and method for transporting chilled products .
- the present invention relates to a transport box and method for transporting chilled products.
- the existing technology does not satisfy or poorly satisfies the price and flexibility requirements for the transport of limited quantities of temperature-sensitive products.
- This problem can be partially reduced by using insulating packaging, if need be with supplementary passive cold sources placed in the packaging so that the products to be distributed can stay outside a cooled area for a certain time without spoiling.
- insulating packaging is relatively expensive and mechanically relatively weak.
- the insulating capacity of the packaging can be insufficient to continuously maintain or guarantee a low temperature for the products for long enough.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution to at least one of the aforementioned and other disadvantages, by providing a transport box that -comprises a storage compartment for goods and comprises at least one channel that is suitable for air transport, that is separated from the storage compartment by a partition and which forms a connection between the top of the transport box and its underside.
- the channel of such a transport box can easily connect with a source of cold air, such that the content of the storage compartment can be kept cool or frozen for as long as necessary, and this on a small scale, cheaply and flexibly.
- a transport box here is a box that is intended for the transport, and any storage, of goods and which has a storage compartment that is surrounded by a wall at least on the sides and underside, and preferably also on the top.
- a transport box in a filled state can preferably be picked up and moved by a person.
- the transport box is arranged such that when forming a stack of at least two such transport boxes, in the stack a channel of a lower transport box connects with a channel of an upper transport box.
- a stack of course means a straight stack in which the transport boxes are on top of one another without projections.
- the transport box is provided with at least two such channels, whereby these channels are not directly connected together.
- a transport box can be cooled on two or more sides, so that better cooling is obtained.
- a circuit of cold air can also be created, such that returning air, still at a lower temperature than the surrounding air, can be cooled again with a lower required cooling power.
- the partition is provided with one or more holes through which air can flow.
- the transport box is provided with an upright edge on its top and/or underside that fits around the underside or top respectively of an identical transport box in order to stabilise the stack when stacking two or more identical transport boxes.
- the transport box is at least partially made from a multilayered material with two layers with a space or spaces between them, whereby a channel is formed by the space or spaces between the layers .
- the partition between the channel and the storage compartment which also gives similar cooling over the entire storage compartment.
- -the- usable rectangular space of the storage compartment is kept as large as possible, with a flow surface of a channel imposed by preconditions.
- at least the side walls, but also possibly the top and/or bottom walls, are thermally insulating. In this way a desired temperature can be more easily reached and maintained.
- the invention further concerns a combination of at least one such transport box and a cooling device, whereby the cooling device is arranged to blow cooled air from an outlet nozzle and whereby the outlet nozzle and a channel of the transport box are arranged to connect with one another .
- the combination it comprises at least two such transport boxes.
- the temperature of the cooled air does of course depend on the requirements of the products that are packaged in the transport boxes, and will typically be a few degrees lower - than the desired temperature for these products.
- the outlet nozzle is arranged- to connect with a channel of each of two transport boxes that are placed against one another with their respective channels turned towards one another.
- the outlet nozzle is provided with a closure that can partially close the outlet nozzle, so that when using the cooling device with one transport box or one stack of transport boxes, the part of the outlet nozzle not connecting with a channel can be closed off.
- the cooling device is a low construction, so that a relatively large number of transport boxes can be placed on a cooling device and on one another in a space with a limited height.
- the cooling device is provided with small wheels and is of such a weight and size that it can be moved by one person.
- the invention also comprises a method for transporting chilled or frozen products in a vehicle, whereby use is made of a transport box or a combination described above, whereby the products are placed in the transport box and whereby cooled air is generated in .the vehicle and guided through a channel of the transport box.
- the invention also relates to a method for transporting chilled or frozen products and for the temporary chilled or frozen storage, whereby the products are transported by means of a method as described above, whereby the products are temporarily stored chilled or frozen directly after transport or vice versa, whereby cooled air is generated during the temporary storage and guided through a channel of the transport box and whereby during storage and during transport the products are in one and the same transport box .
- Figure 1 schematically shows a perspective view of a transport box according to the invention
- figure 2 shows a cross-section of the transport box of figure 1 according to line II-II;
- figure 3 shows a cross-section of the transport box of figure 1 according to line III-III;
- figure 4 schematically shows a perspective view of a component of a combination according to the invention
- figure 5 shows a combination according to the invention during use
- figure 6 shows a top view of a component of a combination according to the invention as well as the anticipated use thereof.
- FIG 7 schematically shows a perspective view of an alternative transport box according to the invention.
- the transport box 1 shown in figures 1, 2 and 3 with a width B of 40 cm and a length L of 60 cm has four side walls 2 and a bottom wall 3.
- the transport box 1 On the top the transport box 1 is provided with four cover flaps 4, which can be folded inwards via a fold line 5 in order to close off the transport box 1 in this way and to form a top wall 6 .
- Figures 1 to 3 show the transport box 1 in an open state.
- the transport box On the inside the transport box comprises a storage compartment 8 and two channels 9. These channels 9 are separated from the storage compartment 8 by a partition 10 with holes 11, in this case formed by a perforated sheet of cardboard. These partitions 9 are parallel to two side walls 2, whereby the channels 8 are between these side walls 2 and the storage compartment 8.
- the channels 9 both have an end 12 on the top of the transport box and an end 13 on the underside of the transport box 1.
- the two ends 12, 13 of a channel 9 are exactly above one another so that when two transport boxes 1 are stacked, the two channels 9 connect with one another.
- the cooling device 14 shown in figure 4 consists of a housing 15 in which traditional electrical cooling is affixed, which blows cooled air via a fan, for example at a temperature of 5°C.
- the housing 15 is placed on small wheels 16.
- the housing 15 is provided with two slots, i.e. an outlet nozzle 17, to which the outlet of the fan is connected and an intake slot 18 to which the inlet of the fan is connected.
- the cooling device 14 is further provided with a low upright edge 19.
- the size of the space formed by the upright edge 19 and the size and position of the outlet nozzle 17 and the intake slot 18 are such that they are complementary to the transport box 1 described above, because the transport box 1 and the cooling device 14 are intended to be used in combination.
- a supplier of the products 20 places the ordered products 20 for a certain delivery address in one or more transport boxes 1. This is done for all desired delivery addresses, whereby products 20 for a different delivery address are not placed in the same transport box 1. It goes without saying that the transport boxes 1 are provided with delivery information.
- the quantity of filled transport boxes 1 is taken to a distribution point in a cooled lorry for example, where the transport boxes 1 are stacked on one or more cooling devices 14 available at that distribution point, which are in operation or placed in operation.
- the stack is organised such that the transport boxes 1 that are placed on a certain cooling device 14, are intended to be delivered later to the delivery addresses by the same delivery vehicle, i.e. in the same delivery round.
- a cross-section of such a stack is shown in figure 5.
- the stacks of transport boxes 1 are formed as follows. The bottom transport box 1 of a stack is placed on a cooling device 14 in an open state with the cover flaps 4 upwards. The bottom half of the transport box 1 fits in the upright edge 19 of the cooling device 14, and the channels 9 on the underside of the transport box 1 hereby connect with the outlet nozzle 17 and the intake slot 18.
- a second transport box 1 also in an open state, is placed on the transport box 1 already in position.
- the bottom half of this second transport box 1 fits in the upright cover flaps 4 of the bottom transport box 1 and the channels 9 of the transport boxes connect with one another. This is repeated until there are no more transport boxes 1 that have to be placed on the stack concerned or until the stack has reached a certain maximum height.
- the top transport box 1 on a stack is closed.
- the channels 9 located above one another of the transport boxes 1 on the stack together form a passage for air originating from the cooling device 14.
- this air flows upwards from the outlet nozzle 17 through a channel 9 of every transport box 1, then to the other channel 9 via the holes 11 in the partitions 10 and via the storage compartment 8, after which this air is again drawn in through the intake slot 18 to be cooled again and is again blown out of the outlet nozzle 17.
- This air flow keeps the products 20 in the transport boxes 1 sufficiently cooled.
- the upright cover flaps 4 act as an upright edge on the transport box 1.
- the cooling device 14 concerned is disconnected from the electricity source to which it is connected, and together with the transport boxes 1 stacked on it, placed in a delivery vehicle and again connected to an electricity source, after which the delivery of the transport boxes 1 with products 20 can take place at the desired delivery addresses.
- the cooling device 14 also operates during transport in the delivery vehicle and the products 20 are consequently kept cool.
- Figure 6 shows a top view of a variant of the cooling device 14. This variant differs from the embodiment described above in that the outlet nozzle 17 is wider and that there are two intake slots 18.
- Such an embodiment of the cooling device 14 can be equipped with a closure, for example a valve, that can close off half of the outlet nozzle 17, so that this embodiment can also be used with only one transport box 1 or a stack thereof .
- a closure for example a valve
- the alternative embodiment of a transport box 1 shown in figure 7 essentially differs from the transport box 1 described above in the following features:
- the transport box 1 of figure 7 only has a channel 9 on one side wall 2.
- the partition 10 between the channel 9 and the storage compartment 8 is not provided with holes, but is solid.
- the cover flaps 4 can only cover the storage compartment 8 and not also the channel 9.
- a stack of such transport boxes 1 is less stable, and there is a greater chance of leakage in a stack at the places where a channel 9 of a transport box 1 connects with a channel 9 of an upper or lower transport box 1.
- this alternative embodiment of the transport box 1 is easier to construct and manufacture, whereby the complementary cooling device 14 is also simpler and cheaper because there does not need to be an upright edge 19, and there does not need to be an intake slot 18 but only an outlet nozzle 18.
- the transport box 1 When the transport box 1 is made of corrugated cardboard that comprises two layers with a corrugated layer between them, whereby a relatively large corrugation and a relatively large distance between the layers are used, the spaces defined by the corrugations act together as a channel 9.
- the transport box can be constructed for one-off use, but also to be reused. In the last case a sturdy construction, for example of PVC or another plastic, is preferred.
- Such an indication can be a colour for example, both on the outside of the transport box, and affixed to the cooling device, for example blue for goods that must be kept frozen, red for goods that must be kept between 0 and 4°C, and green for products that must be kept at around 10°C.
- the present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described as an example and shown in the drawings, but a transport box and method according to the invention can be realised in all kinds of forms, dimensions and variants, without departing from the scope of the invention.
