Definitions
- Transport container for the temperature-controlled transport of temperature-sensitive goods
- the invention relates to a transport container for temperature-controlled transport of temperature-sensitive goods according to the independent claim.
- a predetermined temperature range is maintained during the transport period.
- This predetermined temperature range can be selected according to the goods to be transported, such as food, beverages, pharmaceutical products or medical products.
- passively temperature-controlled includes the use of additional temperature storage elements, such as PCM (phase changing material), melt storage elements or dry ice.
- PCM phase changing material
- melt storage elements or dry ice.
- the advantage of using such temperature storage elements is that no energy source is required for cooling (heating) the temperature-sensitive goods during transport or the transport temperature can be kept within a predetermined range without the use of external or internal cooling and/or heating units .
- the European patent with the publication number EP 2 876 389 B1 and the German utility model DE 20 2018 104 807 U1 are known in the prior art, both of which protect vacuum insulation containers in the manner of a transport container for passively temperature-controlled transport.
- Such a transport container has three side wall elements, a ceiling element, a floor element and at least one door element. The door element is pivoted about a vertical axis. In the interior, rail-like receptacles are fastened to the side walls, into which the melt storage elements are inserted for transport.
- Such transport containers can be provided in different sizes
- the invention includes a transport container for the temperature-controlled transport of goods.
- the transport container includes a container wall that completely encloses an interior space when closed.
- the container wall comprises three side wall elements, a cover element, a base element and a door element.
- the door element can be arranged on the transport container in order to create an opening to the interior of the to completely close the transport container.
- At least one receiving strip is arranged on each of the three side wall elements in such a way that temperature storage elements can be attached thereto.
- a (single) mounting frame with at least one mounting strip for attaching temperature storage elements is arranged on at least one of the side wall elements adjacent to the opening so that it can be moved (e.g.
- temperature storage elements can be arranged on the door side in order to enable a homogeneous temperature distribution. Since temperature storage elements can also be arranged in this way in the area of the door element, the total number of temperature storage elements arranged can be increased.
- the door element is arranged via at least one first hinge on a first side wall element adjoining the opening.
- the receiving frame is arranged via at least one second hinge on a second side wall element adjoining the opening and opposite the first side wall element.
- the transport container also comprises at least one guide strip, which is arranged in the interior in such a way that it essentially extends straight from the opening of the transport container to a side of the container wall opposite the opening.
- the at least one guide strip has a cross section that widens towards the side of the container wall opposite the opening.
- a V-ledge that rises towards the interior is preferably arranged on the side of the floor element that faces the opening.
- the V-ledge can be designed in such a way that when the door element is moved (eg pivoted) into a closed state of the transport container, the door element does not jam with the lower part of the opening.
- the V-ledge can provide a rising sliding surface, which makes it easier to push in a transport item, such as a transport cage for liquid containers.
- a first locking arrangement is arranged on the door element, which is designed in such a way as to lock the door element against the floor element and/or the ceiling element.
- the first closure arrangement can be designed in such a way that it does not protrude beyond the side wall elements.
- At least one second closure arrangement is arranged on the door element, which is designed in such a way as to lock the door element against at least one of the side wall elements adjoining the opening.
- Each closure arrangement can be designed in such a way that it does not protrude beyond the side wall elements.
- each closure arrangement comprises an actuating element, with each of the actuating elements being arranged on the door element.
- the actuating elements can be designed as handles.
- At least one spacer element for resting on a fork arm of a lift truck is arranged on the side of the floor element opposite the interior space (or on an outer surface).
- the spacer element can be one (preferably three) metal disk(s) with a thickness of more than 1 mm and fastened transversely to the direction of insertion of the transport fork.
- the receiving strips essentially comprise an L-shaped or U-shaped stop for attaching temperature storage elements.
- the stop has at least one recess.
- a clamping element can be attached (e.g. hinged or slidably) to the mounting strip in such a way that it can be adjusted in order to release the recess in a first position and to at least partially cover the recess in a second position.
- the temperature storage elements can be locked in the mounting rails, for example to prevent them from falling out if there are movements during transport.
- At least one guide plate embedded in or attached to the base element is preferably arranged on the side of the base element facing the opening.
- the guide plate is advantageous in order to reduce wear due to the frequent impact contacts with the transport forks of a forklift at this point.
- the guide plate can be embedded or attached to the floor element in such a way that the guide plate protrudes at least partially from the floor element, thereby further reducing wear at this point due to the frequent impact contacts with the transport forks of a forklift.
- At least one stop element is arranged on the third side wall element opposite the opening in order to space an item to be transported placed in the transport container against the third side wall element opposite the opening.
- the transport container particularly preferably also comprises a locking element.
- the locking element is arranged in the interior in such a way that goods to be transported that have been brought into the transport container are locked against removal from the transport container.
- the locking element can be designed as a rotary lever prestressed by means of a spring, one end of which pushes against the transported goods in order to hold them in position by means of the spring force.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an opened transport container
- FIG. 2 shows a front view of a closed transport container from FIG. 1; FIG. and
- FIG. 3 shows a view from below of the transport container from FIG. 1 or FIG. 2.
- the transport container 1 for the temperature-controlled transport of temperature-sensitive goods is shown in FIG. 1 in a perspective view from the front. In the open state shown, it can be seen that no goods to be transported are arranged in the interior.
- the transport container 1 shown has a cubic container wall 2 which can completely hermetically enclose an interior space 3 .
- the container wall 2 has three side wall elements 21a, 21b, 21c which are each connected to one another on one side and which in turn are each connected to a cover element 22 on one side.
- a base element 23 is arranged on the opposite side, resulting in a square opening 10 which a door element 24 can close.
- the door element 24 is arranged on the edge region of the right-hand side element 21a so that it can be pivoted about a vertical axis and completely closes the opening 10 in a first position and opens the opening 10 completely (entire circumference) in a second position, so that goods to be transported whose circumference is in Substantially corresponds to the circumference of the opening 10 can be inserted.
- a receiving bar 4 in the upper area Attached to all three side wall elements 21a, 21b, 21c are a receiving bar 4 in the upper area, a receiving bar 4 in the lower area and two receiving bars 4 in the middle area.
- the receiving strips 4 have an L-shaped stop 41, the stops being such are arranged that temperature storage elements 5 can be inserted and moved between them.
- the stop 41 has a recess 42 in the middle, which can be released and closed by means of a clamping element 43 .
- a receiving frame 6 is pivotably arranged on the side wall element 21c adjoining the opening 10 on the left.
- Four receiving strips 4 for attaching temperature storage elements 5 are arranged on the receiving frame 6 as well as in the side wall elements 21a, 21b, 21c.
- the receiving frame 6 can be pivoted about the connection axis with the side wall element 21c and completely covers the opening 10 when pivoted in or completely clears the opening 10 when pivoted out.
- temperature storage elements 5 can be arranged on the door side in order to achieve a homogeneous temperature distribution. Temperature storage elements 5 can thus also be arranged in the area of the door element 24, so that the total number of temperature storage elements arranged is increased.
- the door element 24 is attached to the right-hand side wall element 21a via four hinges 241 .
- the receiving frame 6 is attached to the opposite side wall element 21c.
- a guide bar 7 can be seen in the lower area.
- the guide strip 7 is arranged in such a way that it essentially extends from the opening 10 of the transport container 1 to the rear container wall 2 .
- the at least one guide rail 7 has a cross section that widens toward the rear toward the interior.
- the wedge strip 231 is designed in such a way that the door element 24 does not jam when it is closed.
- the transport container 1 Arranged on the third side wall element 21b opposite the opening 10 is a stop element 11, against which an item to be transported that has been introduced into the transport container 1 can be brought into contact. Furthermore, the transport container 1 comprises a locking element 12, which is arranged on the side wall element 21a and a further locking element 12 (not shown), which is arranged on the side wall element 21c, with which a transport item can be locked against removal from the transport container 1.
- At least one guide plate 9 fitted into the floor element 23 is arranged on the side of the floor element 23 of the transport container 1 facing the opening 10 .
- the guide plate 9 is applied in such a way that the guide plate 9 partially protrudes from the base element 23 and as a result the wear due to the frequent impact contacts with the transport forks of a forklift truck is reduced at this point.
- Fig. 2 the transport container 1 is shown from the front in the closed state of the door element 24.
- the door panel 24 is pivotally attached to the side wall panel 21a with four hinges 241 .
- a first locking arrangement 242 is arranged on the door element 24, with which the door element 24 is locked against the floor element 23 and the ceiling element 22 by twisting a locking rod (not shown) with engagement hooks (not shown) and thus on the floor element 23 and Cover element 22 is engaged.
- a second locking arrangement 243 is also arranged on the door element 24 and locks the door element 24 against the side wall element 21c adjoining the opening (see FIG. 1 ).
- Each of the closure assemblies 242, 243 is configured so as not to protrude beyond the side wall members 21a, 21c.
- Each closure arrangement 242, 243 comprises an actuating element 242a, 243a designed as a handle, which is arranged on the door element 24.
- An advantage of this arrangement of the actuating elements 242a, 243a is that several transport containers 1 can be placed close to one another adjacent to the side wall elements 21a, 21c without restricting the opening and closing of the actuating elements 242a, 243a.
- Fig. 3 the underside of the transport container 1 is shown.
- Six spacer elements 8 for resting on a fork arm of a lift truck are arranged on one side of the floor element 23 opposite the interior (see FIG. 1 ).
