Description

Safety transport carrier

The present invention relates to a safe transport carrier, and more specifically, to a safe transport carrier that has limited opening while transporting the transport object and can monitor the transport status of the transport object.

In general, items that are easily deteriorated or perishable, such as medicine or food, must be stored at an appropriate temperature depending on their type or use, and must be able to maintain that temperature even during transportation. In particular, expensive drugs and biopharmaceuticals may deteriorate and become unusable if the required temperature range is not guaranteed during the transportation process.

Recently, in a situation where multiple vaccines are required to deal with the infectious disease caused by COVID-19, the demand for transport carriers that can store the vaccines at an appropriate temperature to transport the vaccines without spoiling is increasing.

For example, Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0419758 discloses a portable medicine storage device that can transport medicines in a cool state using a cold storage pack.

However, conventional transport carriers, such as the medicine storage device described above, have a problem in that the medicine deteriorates due to temperature differences generated locally in the storage space where the object to be stored is stored, making it unusable even if the recipient receives the object to be stored.

In addition, in the conventional transport carrier, even if a third party opens the transport carrier during transport and the transported object is stolen, or the transport time is delayed due to deviation from the route during transport, or the transported object is damaged due to an accident, the recipient cannot check it after receipt. There is a problem.

It is configured to transmit an alarm signal to the terminals 6 and 7 to notify that the main body 10 is exposed to the risk of an accident or the risk of damage to the transported object 8.

For example, when the maximum tilt that occurs due to a turn while the transportation means 2 is driving normally on the road is stored in the control unit 80 as a set value, if the transportation means 2 overturns in an accident, the control unit 80 changes the tilt. A tilt measurement value greater than the set value is received from the detection sensor 51, and an alarm signal is transmitted to the external terminals 6 and 7 of the recipient or designated personnel through the communication means 81.

In addition, while the vehicle 2 is driving normally on the road, the maximum amount of shock generated due to the vehicle's own vibration or vibration caused by a road structure such as a speed bump is stored in the control unit 80 as a set value, When the transportation means 2 collides with another vehicle or an impact is applied from the outside to damage the main body 10, the control unit 80 receives an impact measurement value greater than the set value from the impact detection sensor 52, and the communication means An alarm signal is transmitted to the external terminal (6, 7) of the recipient or designated person through (81).

The control unit 80 can determine the presence or absence of the transport object 8 through the reading unit 90. The control unit 80 determines that the transported object 8 is stored in the storage space 11 by reading the unique identification number of the transported object 8 from the RFID tag 91 through the reader 92 at regular intervals. do.

The control unit 80 may determine the receipt and delivery of the transport object 8 through the reader 92.

For example, when the storage space 11 is empty, the reader 92 cannot read the RFID tag 91 attached to the transport object 8, and thus determines that the storage space 11 is empty.

At this time, when one or more transported objects 8 are introduced into the storage space 11, the reader 92 newly reads the RFID tag 91 of the introduced transported objects 8 and transmits it to the control unit 80. The control unit 80 stores the unique identification number of the transported object 8 stored in the newly read RFID tag 91, and the stored object 8 indicated by the unique identification number is stored in the storage space 11. ) is determined to have been inserted and the history is saved.

In this state, when the transport object 8 stored in the storage space 11 is withdrawn from the storage space 11, the reader 92 can no longer read the RFID tag 91 of the storage object 8. do. If the control unit 80 cannot read the RFID tag 91 indicated by the previously stored unique identification number through the reader 92 after a certain period of time has elapsed, the storage object 8 indicated by the stored unique identification number is stored. After determining that it has been retrieved from space 11, the history is saved.

The control unit 80 determines this as normal deposit/delivery when the main body 10 withdraws the storage object 8 from an area within an error distance from the recipient's location or a set location.

If the main body 10 withdraws the storage object 8 from an area within an error distance from the recipient's location or a set location, the control unit 80 determines this as an abnormal deposit and withdrawal, and sends the external terminal (6, 7) Send an alarm signal.

If the number of unique identification numbers of the transported object 8 that the reader 92 reads at regular intervals changes, the control unit 80 determines that the transported object 8 has been placed in and out. At this time, when a change in the presence or absence of the transport object 8 occurs while the main body 10 is located within a preset area, this is judged to be normal deposit/delivery.

Alternatively, if a change in the presence or absence of the transport object (8) occurs while the main body (10) is located outside the preset area, this is judged to be an abnormal deposit and withdrawal, and an alarm signal is sent to the external terminals (6, 7) of the recipient and designated personnel.

Figure 4 shows a safe transport carrier 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the safe transport carrier 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has the same configuration as the first embodiment of the present invention other than the circulation flow unit 134 and the control unit, so duplicate description will be omitted.

The circulation flow part 134 of the safe transport carrier 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is an auxiliary inflow formed so that the cold storage module receiving part 33a and the storage space 11 are in direct communication at the lower part of the storage bin 12. Have more wealth.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary inlet portion is composed of a plurality of auxiliary inlet holes 135 formed through the bottom of the buffer inner wall portion 113 to communicate with the storage space and the cold storage module receiving portion 33a. Alternatively, the auxiliary inlet may be configured to have a separate pipe (not shown) connecting the lower portion of the storage space 11 and the cooling module receiving portion 33a.

In addition, the first and second circulation fans 35a and 35b are controlled to discharge air from the air flow space 37 of the vertical duct 36 to the upper part of the storage space 11.

As described above, in the safe transport carrier 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when the first and second circulation fans (35a, 35b) are driven, air in the storage space (11) flows through the auxiliary inlet hole (135). It flows into the cold storage module receiving portion (33a), exchanges heat with the cold storage module (23), and is cooled. The air flowing into the cooling module receiving portion (33a) is transferred to the upper part of the vertical duct (36) and discharged to the upper part of the storage space (11).

In the safe transport carrier 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention as described above, air flows into the cooling module receiving part 33a from the lower part of the storage space 11, and enters the storage space through the vertical duct 36. It has the advantage of minimizing the phenomenon of blind areas in the storage space 11 where air does not circulate by being configured to be discharged from the top.

The control unit 80 of the safe transport carrier 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a configuration capable of controlling the operation of the first and second circulation fans 35a and 35b in response to the inclination of the main body 101. It can be applied.

For this purpose, the control unit 80 is configured to measure the inclination of the main body 101 in real time at regular time intervals from the inclination sensor 51 of the accident detection unit 50.

In addition, the control unit 80 determines the amount of air discharged through one vertical duct 36 when the main body 101 is tilted so that one vertical duct 36 is located higher than the other vertical duct 36. The rotation speed of the circulation fans (35a, 35b) installed in one vertical duct (36) is quickly controlled to increase this.

To this end, the control unit 80 is configured to control the first circulation fan 35a and the second circulation fan 35b to be driven at individual rotation speeds.

For example, when the main body 101 is transported on an incline, one side and the other side of the main body 101 are tilted at different heights. At this time, the low-temperature air in the storage space 11 sinks to one side at a relatively low position.

The control unit 80 receives the tilt measurement value of the main body 101 through the tilt sensor 51 and adjusts the rotation speed of the second circulation fan 35b on the other side located at a relatively high position to the first circulation fan 35a. Runs faster.

In this state, the amount of air discharged by the second circulation fan (35b) becomes greater than the amount of air discharged by the first circulation fan (35a), and more air is discharged on the other side of the cooling module receiving portion (33a) than on one side. A large negative pressure is applied.

As the rotation speed of the second circulation fan (35b) increases, more air cooled by heat exchange with the cold storage module in the cold storage module receiving portion (33a) is transferred to the second circulation fan (35b).

The safety transport carrier 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention maintains the tilted storage space 11 by increasing the amount of air discharged through the vertical duct 36 with an increased height while the main body 101 is tilted. It has the advantage of preventing the temperature distribution of the air from becoming uneven.
