Description

Storage device that supports cold storage {STORAGE DEVICE THAT SUPPORTS COLD STORAGE}

The present invention relates to a storage device that supports cold storage, and more specifically, to a medical storage device that can realize an appropriate cooling effect by adjusting the cold storage performance.

The cold chain system refers to a system that ensures the quality and safety of products by maintaining low temperatures throughout the distribution process of products that require temperature control, such as agricultural and livestock products, foodstuffs, and pharmaceuticals, as their quality can vary depending on temperature. The cold chain system was first commercialized in the 1940s, and continues to develop to this day as national income increases, consumers' demand for fresh food increases, and the need for cold chain gradually increases.

In particular, in the case of pharmaceuticals, their efficacy and stability can only be guaranteed if they are stored and transported within a specific temperature range, so maintaining an appropriate temperature is very important. Medicines such as vaccines are especially vital to life, so temperature control is essential during the distribution process.

Recently, as new respiratory diseases such as COVID-19 spread globally, various ways to efficiently transport vaccines are being proposed, and the need for the cryogenic distribution market is rapidly increasing. For example, in the case of mRNA vaccines, they must usually be stored and transported in a cryogenic environment of -70℃ or lower. If the appropriate temperature is not maintained, the 'titer', which is the activity unit of the drug, antigen, or antibody, will drop, making it less effective even if vaccinated. It could be a 'water vaccine' that cannot be seen.

According to these needs, various cold storage devices (or cold storage containers) are being developed to increase economic efficiency and ease of use so that objects can be efficiently cooled and transported easily. In general, storage devices for cold storage are implemented and utilized by storing objects in containers made of materials such as Styrofoam or plastic, filling them with refrigerant, packaging them, and transporting them.

Meanwhile, in the process of transporting an object using a cold storage device, users (e.g., sender, recipient, transporter, and manager) must check whether the storage environment of the object stored inside the storage device is properly maintained. It may be necessary. In order to allow users to easily check the storage environment (i.e. temperature and humidity) of the object, a sensor is installed inside the storage device to measure the environment related to the object inside, and this is measured through a display provided on the outside of the storage device. It can be displayed. In other words, the display provided on the outside of the storage device can be electrically connected to the sensor provided inside the device through a physical connection line, and thus displays various sensor information such as temperature and humidity measured from the sensor so that the user can recognize it. make it possible

However, in the case of a conventional storage device, the connection line connecting the display unit and the sensor can easily be separated from the display due to various impacts occurring during the delivery process. If the connection line is separated from the display, environmental information inside the storage device is not visually displayed on the display, and as a result, the user is unable to recognize the internal environment of the storage device during the delivery process. This has the problem of not guaranteeing the quality and stability of the object.

In an embodiment, the control module 300 may be connected to the sensor unit 200 through a communication connection line 400 to receive information from the sensor unit 200 that acquires sensing information related to the internal environment of the storage device 1000. You can. That is, the communication connection line 400 may be a connection line that physically connects the control module 300 and the sensor unit 200. The sensor unit 200 is disposed in the space where the object is stored in order to measure information about temperature and humidity corresponding to the space where the object is stored. In the case of the control module 300, the user opens the inside of the storage device 1000. It is provided on one outer surface of the storage device 1000 so that the internal environment of the storage device 1000 can be visually recognized even without being seen. Accordingly, in order for the communication connection line 400 to connect the control module 300 disposed on the outside of the storage unit 100 and the sensor unit 200 disposed on the inside of the storage unit 100, the storage unit 100 A hole through which the communication connection line 400 passes is required in one area.

In one embodiment, an outer connection hole is formed on one outer surface of the storage unit 100 for inserting the communication connection line 400 inside. The outer connection hole may be formed on at least one surface of the outer housing 110.

Here, the mounting groove 111 may refer to a groove in which the control module 300 is mounted. For example, the mounting groove 111 is preferably arranged to have a certain height on one side corresponding to the front of the storage unit 100 so that the user can easily visually check information about the internal environment. A mounting groove 111 is provided in a front area of the storage unit 100, and a control module 300 may be provided in the mounting groove 111. In this case, the communication connection line 400, one end of which is connected to the control module 300, must penetrate the storage unit 100 so that the other end corresponding to one end can be connected to the internal sensor unit 200. Accordingly, an outer connection hole through which the communication connection line 400 passes may be formed in the outer housing 110 on which the control module 300 is mounted on at least one surface. For example, the outer connection hole may be formed toward the top of the control module 300. The communication line 400 connected to the control module 300 may pass through the outer connection hole and be connected to the inner sensor unit 200.

That is, the communication connection line 400 connected to the control module 300 sequentially passes through the outer connection hole of the outer housing 110 and the inner connection hole of the inner housing 120 and the sensor unit disposed in the inner body portion 130 ( 200).

In an embodiment, the inner housing 120 is inserted and provided within the space formed by the outer housing 110. That is, the first height corresponding to the side surface of the outer housing 110 may be formed to be higher than the second height corresponding to the side surface of the inner housing 120.

Meanwhile, the outer housing 110 and the inner housing 120 can be formed to have thermal insulation performance and supply to the inside, and for this purpose, they can be formed of an insulating foam material. In particular, the outer housing 110 may have a first porosity, and the inner housing 120 may have a second porosity that is larger than the first porosity. Here, porosity may be the ratio of the volume of pores per unit volume. Therefore, the inner housing 120 having the second porosity may have a relatively larger pore volume than the outer housing 110 having the first porosity.

Since the pores can be a space for storing cold air, the inner housing 120 with a relatively large porosity can store more cold air, which has the advantage of improving the cooling effect.

In addition, since the inner housing 120, which has a relatively large porosity, can be lightweight, it helps reduce the overall weight of the medical cold storage container, and as a result, it is advantageous in reducing the overall weight of the storage device 1000.

According to an embodiment, the storage unit 100 may include a cover unit 160 that can be coupled to the open upper surface. The cover part 160 can open and close the upper part of the storage part 100.

The refrigerant pack unit 150 may include a plurality of sub-refrigerant pack units. In a specific embodiment, the refrigerant pack unit 150 may be composed of six sub-refrigerant pack units so as to surround all surfaces of the hexahedral-shaped inner body unit 130 from the outside. As shown in FIG. 6, the refrigerant pack unit 150 includes one first sub-refrigerant pack unit 150a provided in the upper direction of the inner body portion 130 and four provided in the side direction of the inner body portion 130. It may include two second sub-refrigerant pack parts (150b) and one third sub-refrigerant pack part (150c) provided in the lower direction of the inner body part (130). The first sub-refrigerant pack part 150a is provided toward the upper part of the inner body part 130 and may be provided in contact with the lower end of the cover part 160. The second sub-refrigerant pack portion 150b is provided to surround the side exterior of the inner body portion 130 and may be disposed between the inner body portion 130 and the inner housing 120. The third sub-refrigerant pack unit 150c is disposed on the lower surface of the inner body portion 130 and may be disposed between the inner body portion 130 and the inner housing. As each sub-refrigerant pack unit is provided to surround the inner body part 130, objects stored inside the inner body part 130 can be maintained at a specific temperature.

Referring to FIG. 7, each of the plurality of sub-refrigerant pack units may include a bent portion 151 provided in a shape engraved toward the center corresponding to at least one side. Figure 7(a) is an exemplary diagram of one sub-refrigerant pack unit, and Figure 7(b) is an exemplary diagram of a combination between a plurality of sub-refrigerant pack units. The bent portion 151 may be formed on at least one side of the sub-refrigerant pack portion 150 and is provided in an engraved shape toward the inner center.

Additionally, each sub-refrigerant pack unit is provided in one area of the bent portion 151 and may include a refrigerant insertion hole 152 that forms a hole through which refrigerant is introduced or discharged. Each sub-refrigerant pack unit is coupled to the refrigerant insertion hole 152 and may include a finishing member 153 that opens and closes the refrigerant insertion hole 152.

That is, a bent portion 151 engraved inward corresponding to at least one surface of the sub-refrigerant pack is provided, and the refrigerant is inserted into the sub-refrigerant pack in response to one area of the bent portion 151. A refrigerant insertion hole 152 is formed. The refrigerant insertion hole 152 has the shape of a hole connecting the inside and outside of the sub-refrigerant pack unit, and the user can keep the refrigerant pack unit at a low temperature by inserting refrigerant into the sub-refrigerant pack unit through the hole. The finishing member 153 may be configured to open or close the refrigerant insertion hole 152. For example, the finishing member 153 may be provided to be coupled to the refrigerant insertion hole 152 by a fitting coupling method or a rotation coupling method. The specific description of the coupling method between the finishing member and the refrigerant insertion hole is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The refrigerant is inserted into the sub-refrigerant pack unit through the refrigerant insertion hole 152, and after the refrigerant insertion is completed, the refrigerant is stored inside the sub-refrigerant pack unit by coupling the finishing member 153 to the refrigerant insertion hole 152.

In addition, each sub-refrigerant pack unit has a first surface 154, a second surface 155 that is parallel to the first surface 154, and a second surface 155 and a second surface 154 and It may include a plurality of inclined surfaces 156 connecting the two sides 155. In an embodiment, the first surface 154 of the sub-refrigerant pack unit may mean a surface in contact with the outer surface of the inner body 130, and the second surface 155 is parallel to the first surface 154. This refers to one other surface, and may mean one surface in contact with the inner surface of the inner housing 120 or the inner surface of the cover portion 160. Referring to FIG. 7, in the case of the first surface 154 and the second surface 155, the first surface 154 and the second surface 155 will be provided with the same shape, but the first surface 154 will be provided with a smaller area than the second surface 155. Therefore, in the process of connecting each surface, an inclined surface 156 with a certain angle is formed. For example, the first side 154 and the second side 155 may be formed in a square shape. In this case, the first side 154 may have a side length of 15 cm, and the second side 155 may have a side length of 25 cm. Since the first surface 154 and the second surface 155 are arranged to have a certain distance apart with their center points corresponding to each other, when connecting the first surface 154 and the second surface 155, the first surface 154 and the second surface 155 This is a configuration in which an inclined surface 156 with an inclination in the direction of the surface 154 is formed. A space for storing refrigerant may be formed through the first surface 154, second surface 155, and inclined surface 156 of the sub-refrigerant pack portion, and the refrigerant will be filled in the space.

The inclined surface 156 is configured to minimize temperature exchange between the outside and inside of the refrigerant pack unit 150. A plurality of refrigerant pack units are provided in contact with adjacent sub-refrigerant pack units based on an inclined surface 156 formed in each sub-refrigerant pack unit. As shown in (b) of FIG. 7, each sub-refrigerant pack unit corresponding to the first sub-refrigerant pack unit 150a and the second sub-refrigerant pack unit 150b may be in contact with the inclined surface 156. Since each sub-refrigerant pack unit is provided in contact through contact between the inclined surfaces 156, the contact area between each sub-refrigerant pack unit can be increased. For example, when each sub-refrigerant pack unit is provided in contact with no inclined surface, the contact area between the sub-refrigerant pack units is small, and active heat exchange with the outside occurs corresponding to the contact area. This may prevent the object from being maintained at an appropriate temperature, thereby reducing storage and transport efficiency of the object. In the present invention, by ensuring that each of the plurality of sub-refrigerant pack units includes an inclined surface 156, the influence of external temperature can be minimized and the objects stored inside can be maintained at a more appropriate temperature.

In various embodiments, the communication connection line 400 may be provided to pass through a hole formed through each bent portion 151 when the inclined surface 156 between each sub-refrigerant pack portion is in contact. Specifically, a bent portion 151 that is bent inward is formed on at least one of the inclined surfaces formed in the sub-refrigerant pack portion. Additionally, one sub-refrigerant pack unit and the other sub-refrigerant pack unit are provided in contact with each other through an inclined surface 156. When contact is made between the sub-refrigerant pack units through the inclined surface 156, a hole may be formed corresponding to the bent portion 151, and the communication connection line 400 passes through this to connect the outside and the inside. Through the configuration of the bent portion 151, even if the refrigerant pack portion 150 is not provided with a separate through hole, the communication connection line 400 can be provided to connect the inside and outside of the refrigerant pack portion 150.

Additionally, the storage unit 100 may include an insulation unit 140 provided between the outer housing 110 and the inner housing 120. There may be a plurality of insulation units 140, and each insulation unit may be disposed between the outer housing 110 and the inner housing 120. As shown in FIG. 6, the insulation unit 140 includes a top insulation unit 140a provided in the upper direction of the inner housing 120, and four side insulation units provided corresponding to the side surfaces of the inner housing 120 ( 140b) and a lower surface insulation portion 140c provided corresponding to the lower surface of the inner housing 120.

The insulation unit 140 may be a plate-shaped vacuum insulation material, but is not limited thereto. The insulation portion 140 may be provided to surround the outer surface of the inner housing 120. The inner housing 120 may have a hexahedral shape with an open upper surface. In this case, six insulation units 140 may be provided to correspond to each of the six outer surfaces of the inner housing 120. That is, the six insulation units are provided in contact with the inner surface of the outer housing 110, and are arranged to surround the outer surface of the inner housing 120 to prevent cold air provided from the refrigerant from exchanging heat with the outside, thereby maintaining the temperature required for the receiving space. The range can be maintained.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the storage device 1000 may include a control module 300 provided on at least a portion of the outer surface of the storage device 1000. In the process of transporting an object using the storage device 1000, the control module 300 allows users (e.g., sender, recipient, transporter, and manager, etc.) to maintain an appropriate storage environment for the object stored inside the storage device. It is a module that provides information about the presence of a device and is equipped with a display unit 320 that displays sensing information related to the internal environment. That is, the control module 300 serves to display and provide information about the internal temperature and humidity of the storage device 1000 to the user.

In an embodiment, the control module 300 may include a body portion 310, a display portion 320, an input portion 311, a cover portion 330, an element placement space 330a, and a seating portion 340. . The components of the control module described above are only examples. That is, according to various implementation aspects of the present invention, additional components may be added in addition to the components of the control module described above, or at least some of the components of the control module described above may be omitted.

According to the embodiment, the body portion 310 may form the exterior of the control module 300. Additionally, a display unit 320 may be formed on at least one surface of the body unit 310. As shown in FIG. 8, the display unit 320 may be provided on one surface (eg, front) of the body unit 310. The display unit 320 can display various visual information. For example, the display unit 320 may display temperature information and humidity information transmitted from the sensor unit 200. For another example, the display unit 320 may display information related to the time at which transfer of the object received from the server must be completed. The detailed description of the information displayed through the above-described display unit is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. A user who transports and stores an object using the storage device 1000 can check the information displayed on the display unit 320 to obtain information about the storage or transport status of the object.

In one embodiment, the control module 300 may include an input unit 311 provided in one area of the body unit 310. The input unit 311 may receive a physical input from the user. For example, the input unit 311 may include a first input unit to display temperature information, a second input unit to display humidity information, and a third input unit to display disposal point prediction information, but is not limited thereto. That is, the user can have the information he or she wants to check exposed through the display unit 320 through the input unit 311.

In an embodiment, the control module 300 may include a cover portion 330 that can be coupled to at least one surface of the body portion 310. As shown in FIG. 8, the cover portion 330 may be provided to be coupled to the rear portion of the control module 300. Referring to FIG. 9, a screw through hole 321 is formed in the cover portion 330, and a screw 322 penetrates the screw through hole 321 to form a fastening portion 350 on the body portion 310. It is a composition concluded in .

According to an embodiment, the control module 300 may include an element arrangement space 330a that is exposed to the outside when the cover part 330 is separated from the body part 310. The device arrangement space 330a may be a space where electronic devices constituting the control module 300 are placed. This device arrangement space 330a may be equipped with a processor for driving the display unit 320 and a memory module for driving the processor. Additionally, in an embodiment, the device arrangement space 330a may include a coupling terminal to which the communication connection line 400 is coupled. That is, one end of the communication connection line 400 may be connected to a coupling terminal disposed in the device arrangement space 330a of the control module 300.

In an embodiment, the communication connection line 400 may be provided to be coupled to a communication terminal provided on the element arrangement space 330a through the connection line support member 500 seated on the seating portion 340. You can. The communication connection line 400 connected to the sensor unit 200 is connected to the inside of the control module 300 (communication terminal provided in the element placement space) and transmits the information measured from the sensor unit 200 to the control module 300. It can be delivered. Since all external shocks applied to the sensor unit 200, control module 300, and communication line 400 are absorbed by the connection line support member 500, the communication line 400 connected to the communication terminal is affected by external shock. It can prevent separation from the terminal. That is, the coupling stability between the communication connection line 400 and the control module 300 can be improved.

In various embodiments, the sensor unit 200 requires periodic calibration. Sensor calibration is to ensure that the sensor measures accurately. Typically, sensors collect and transmit measurements from the environment. In this case, if the sensor is not accurately calibrated, the measurements may be inaccurate or distorted. For example, a temperature sensor may be affected by external factors such as noise over time, which may reduce the sensor's accuracy. Accordingly, regular calibration is necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the sensor. Since the sensor unit 200 of the present invention can measure at least one of humidity, temperature, and illuminance, that is, it includes sensors that measure various environments, regular calibration is very important. For example, sensors that measure various environments have their reliability verified by KORAS (Korea Reliability Certification Center) on a regular basis every year.

When the sensor unit 200 and the control module 300 are provided as one body, there is an inconvenience in that the control module 300 must be transported together during the evaluation process for calibration and reliability verification of the sensor unit 200. In other words, if the communication line connecting the control module 300 and the sensor unit 200 is not provided to be detachable from the control module 300, the sensor unit 200 cannot be separated from the control module 300 alone. This causes inconvenience during the transfer process for calibration or reliability verification evaluation. In the case of one embodiment of the present invention, in order to solve this problem, the sensor unit 200 and the control module 300 may be provided to be detachable from each other.

Meanwhile, in the conventional case, terminals for connection to external devices such as communication terminals are formed on the outside of the housing. That is, conventional control modules also have a communication terminal on the outer housing to which a communication connection line can be connected. However, when the communication terminal is located outside the control module like this, the bonding force between the communication terminal and the communication connection line is not strong, so it is very vulnerable to external shock. In addition, since the control module 300 of the present invention is provided in the storage device 1000 for transporting medicines, if the communication connection line is separated from the communication terminal due to external shock, the real-time status of expensive medicines cannot be confirmed. A problem arises.

Therefore, in order to prevent a situation where real-time checking of expensive medicines becomes impossible due to external shock, the stability of the connection between the sensor unit 200 and the control module 300 must be ensured despite external shock. The present invention allows coupling between the communication connection line 400 and the communication terminal inside the cover portion 330, so that when an external shock occurs, direct impact transmission to the connection portion through the cover portion 330 is blocked, and the communication connection line ( There is an advantage in ensuring solid coupling stability between the 400) and the control module 300.

According to one embodiment, the control module 300 may include a seating portion 340 on which the connection line support member 500 through which the communication connection line 400 passes is seated. The connection line support member 500 is configured to prevent the communication connection line 400 from being easily separated from the coupling terminal of the control module 300.

Specifically, the communication connection line 400 can connect the sensor unit 200 provided inside the inner body unit 130 and the control module 300 provided outside the outer housing 110, and the sensor unit 200 Information on the measured temperature and humidity is transmitted to the control module 300. The control module 300 can receive information about temperature and humidity transmitted from the sensor unit 200 through the communication connection line 400, and displays this through the display unit 320 to provide visual information to the user. do. Meanwhile, various impacts may occur during the delivery of objects using the storage device 1000, and the communication connection line 400 connected to the coupling terminal of the control module 300 may be easily separated due to various impacts. If the communication connection line 400 is separated from the control module 300, various information related to the storage environment of the object, such as temperature and humidity, cannot be displayed through the display unit 320, so the user is provided with information about the state of the object. cannot be transmitted. This ultimately acts as a factor that reduces the quality and stability of the object.

The present invention can prevent the communication connection line 400 from being easily separated from the control module 300 by utilizing the seating portion 340 formed on the control module 300 and the connection line support member supported on the seating portion 340. there is.

According to an embodiment, the seating portion 340 may be provided in the shape of a hole connecting the interior (i.e., element placement space) and the exterior of the control module 300. As shown in FIG. 9, the seating portion 340 has the shape of a hole formed when the cover portion 330 and the body portion 310 are coupled. The connection line support member 500 can be supported on the seating portion 340, and the communication line 400 connected to the coupling terminal is exposed to the outside through the hole formed inside the connection line support member 500.

Referring to FIG. 10, the seating portion 340 includes a groove portion 341 having the shape of a groove, a first support surface 341a provided on one surface of the groove, and a position opposite to the first support surface 341a. It may include a second support surface 341b and a third support surface 342 formed in the inner direction of the control module 300. With reference to FIG. 10 , the left side may be a direction corresponding to the device arrangement space 330a, and the right side may be a direction outside the control module 300. A first support surface 341a and a second support surface 341b may be formed through the groove portion 341 recessed in the shape of a groove.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the connection line support member 500 may include a connection line insertion hole 500a through which the communication connection line 400 passes, as shown in FIG. 11, and is fixedly coupled to the control module 300. It can be. The connection line insertion hole 500a has an upper surface and a lower surface penetrating, and has a hollow shape formed inside. This connection line insertion hole 500a may be provided with a diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the communication connection line 400, and accordingly, the communication connection line 400 is inserted through the connection line insertion hole 500a.

In the embodiment, the connection wire support member 500 is implemented through an exterior corresponding to the seating portion 340. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the connection line support member 500 includes a first peripheral portion 510, a second peripheral portion 520, a third peripheral portion 530, and a fourth peripheral portion 540. may include.

In detail, the connection line support member 500 may include a first peripheral portion 510 provided to have a preset outer diameter.

In addition, the connection line support member 500 is connected to the first peripheral portion 510 and is provided to have an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the first peripheral portion 510 to form the first support portion 521. 2 It may include a peripheral portion 520.

In addition, the connection line support member 500 is connected to the second peripheral portion 520 and is provided to have an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the second peripheral portion 520 to form the second support portion 522. It may include three peripheral parts 530.

In addition, the connection line support member 500 is connected to the third peripheral portion 530 and is provided to have an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the third peripheral portion 530 to form the third support portion 541. It may include 4 peripheral parts 540.

Referring again to FIGS. 10 to 12, the communication connection line 400 is provided to penetrate the connection line insertion hole 500a of the connection line support member 500. The connection line support member 500 is inserted into the seating portion 340 while being penetrated through the communication connection line 400 and is supported and coupled. Specifically, as the second peripheral portion 520 of the connection wire support member 500 is fitted into the groove portion 341 of the seating portion 340, the first support portion 521 is in contact with the first support surface 341a. , the second support part 522 comes into contact with the second support surface 341b, and the third support part 541 comes into contact with the third support surface 342. That is, each support portion formed on the connection line support member 500 can be supported by each support surface formed on the groove portion 341, so that the communication connection line 400 can be fixed to the groove portion 341. According to this configuration, the communication connection line 400 can be supported more firmly on the control module 300, and thus the communication connection line 400 can be prevented from being separated from the control module 300 even when subjected to frequent external shocks.

In various embodiments, the storage device 1000 may further include a connection line protection member 600 provided to surround the outer peripheral surface of the communication connection line 400 in response to one or more bent areas of the communication connection line 400. Here, one or more bending areas may mean one or more areas where the communication connection line 400 is bent at a certain angle. The connection line protection member 600 is configured to prevent damage to the communication connection line 400.

According to one embodiment, the connection line protection member 600 may be made of an elastic material. Additionally, the connection line protection member 600 may be characterized as having a spring shape wound in one direction. In addition, as shown in (a) of FIG. 13, the inside of the connection line protection member 600 may be penetrated through the communication connection line 400. The connection line protection member 600 is provided to cover the exterior of the communication connection line 400, and can prevent damage to the communication connection line 400 by dispersing stress concentrated in a specific area. According to the embodiment, the connection line protection member 600 may be provided to be movable within the communication connection line 400. For example, the connection line protection member 600 can be moved to an area where bending occurs in the communication connection line 400 to disperse stress occurring in that area.

In the embodiment, the communication connection line 400 penetrates the storage unit 100, and connects the sensor unit 200 located inside the storage unit 100 and the control module 300 located outside the storage unit 100. can be connected. As shown in FIG. 3, the communication connection line 400 is bent in various directions during the process of connecting the sensor unit 200 and the control module 300. When the communication connection line 400 is bent and provided within the storage unit 100, the exterior of the communication connection line 400 may be damaged, such as being torn, as shown in (b) of FIG. 13 during continuous use of the device. It can happen. Since the communication connection line 400 is provided through various components (outer housing, inner housing, and inner housing) of the storage unit 100, there are many bent sections, and the degree (or angle) of bending may also be severe. In particular, because the storage device 1000 of the present invention is used in the transfer process, external shocks occur frequently, and the communication connection line is more likely to be damaged due to stress concentrated in the bending area. In this way, if damage occurs, such as when the covering of the communication connection line 400 is peeled off, a failure may occur in the control module 300 and the sensor unit 200 to which the communication connection line 400 is connected, thereby causing damage to the user. It will not be possible to provide correct information.

Therefore, the connection line protection member 600 may be provided to surround the outside of the communication connection line 400 in response to a section where the communication connection line 400 is bent, as shown in (c) of FIG. 13. Through this, the stress occurring in the bending area can be distributed through the connection line protection member 600, and damage to the communication connection line 400 can be prevented.
