Definitions

  • thermal boxes with the addition of ice, dry ice or containers with gel, positioned at the internal ends of the thermal box or on the products that are inside it.
  • ice dry ice or containers with gel
  • the contact of the products with the ice due to its proximity and low temperature, leads to freezing of the transported material, causing its loss.
  • the frequent opening of the lid/door raises the temperature inside the thermal box, and the ice is no longer able to provide the necessary thermal transfer and the transported products are lost due to lack of appropriate refrigeration.
  • the ice or containers with gel at a first moment, for being at a very low temperature, promote a great exchange of heat in the environment, as they are deposited in the thermal box without mechanisms that control this exchange, and at a second moment, they are not capable of maintaining this effect for long periods of time, because this exchange occurred too much at the first moment and tends to uniform the temperature, heating them.
  • This exchange occurred exclusively by convection, the cold air, being denser, tends to go down, while the hot air tends to rise, causing temperature variations at different points in the same thermal box.
  • This Invention aims to present a compartment-shaped device that occupies a small space inside a thermal box that receives in its interior cooling elements, such as ice, containers with gel, or heating elements, or even the dispenser to be filled with gel or other element of thermal load and carried throughout the dispenser for freezing or heating, because it has in its upper end one or more fans powered by battery.
  • cooling elements such as ice, containers with gel, or heating elements
  • the dispenser to be filled with gel or other element of thermal load and carried throughout the dispenser for freezing or heating, because it has in its upper end one or more fans powered by battery.
  • the air projected by these fans in the environment of the thermal box enters in a forced way in the dispenser by its lower end, which has holes and blinds, and when flowing through the material deposited inside it, cooled or heated, it exchanges heat with them, balances its temperature and returns to the environment where the homogenizing dispenser is installed, which through the fans monitored by the temperature controller, determines the necessary Air speed, so that the temperature of the environment of the thermal box is that programmed and homogeneously in all recesses of the environment.
  • the external electronic control module which has a temperature sensor that is installed anywhere inside the cooler to read the temperature, in which module the rechargeable battery is located, in addition to the battery charge controller and the temperature display.
  • the controller it is possible to set the desired temperature inside the cooler, to see and follow up on the display the current temperature records, maximum and minimum temperatures recorded during the trip or during a desired period, besides other customizable events.
  • the storage of this recorded data is done internally in the controller's memory and can be transferred via pen drive, memory cards, RFID, wi-fi, Bluetooth, among others, allowing remote monitoring by a computer or a cell phone.
  • the drawing under No. 2/10, in fig. 2.10 shows the controller in a front view of the installer to the external side of the thermal box where it allows viewing temperatures and data even with the box closed.
  • the drawing under No. 3/10, in fig. 3.10 shows the dispenser in a front view installed inside the thermal box that is in a cross section and the controller in a view from its left side.
  • the drawing under No. 4/10, in fig. 4.10 shows the dispenser in a side view inside the cooler, in a longitudinal section with representation of the air flow inside the thermal box (1).
  • this Invention has a thermal box (1), of which lid must be removed to access its interior.
  • the cabinet of the dispenser cabinet (2) Inside the thermal box is the cabinet of the dispenser cabinet (2), of which compartment for storing cold or hot material (4) is accessed through the thermally insulated lid (5).
  • the fans (3) At the upper end of the dispenser cabinet (2) are the fans (3), responsible for exhausting the air that enters through the holes (6), located at the bottom of the dispenser cabinet (2).
  • this air flows through the internal compartment of the dispenser cabinet (2) with ice or other cold or hot material (4), it will have its temperature regulated to return to the inside of the thermal box (1), at the ideal temperature due to the speed control of the fans (3) provided by the electronic control module (8).
  • the internal walls of the dispenser cabinet (2) have fins ( 11), so that the ice or other cooling/heating materials (4) do not touch the walls, and therefore the air flows freely.
  • the circulating air inside the thermal box (1) will be at a constant and homogeneous temperature, promoting the ideal conservation of the products existing there.
  • the power supply of the entire system is provided by the rechargeable battery (7), located on the outside of the thermal box (1), next to the electronic control module ( 8) that is supported by the support (15).
  • the electronic control module (8) is responsible for regulating the intensity at which the fans (3) work, based on the temperature read by the sensor (9), which is positioned at any point inside the thermal box (1).
  • the electronic control module (8) is responsible for all the configuration and programming of the device, where the ideal desired temperature is inserted, and all the information obtained by the sensor (9) is registered.
  • the display (10) shows the information needed to adjust and follow up the readings of the electronic control module (8), of which interaction happens through the control button (14).
  • the vehicle plug (12) is connected to the electronic control module (8), which through the charger (16) feeds the battery (7).
  • the other end of the plug (12) can be connected to the vehicle's cigarette lighter, where the transport is taking place, or can also be connected to a power source (13) connected to a common 110 or 220 DCV outlet.
