- Not Applicable.
- Vacuum insulation transport containers are widely known in practice and are used, for example, in the handling, i.e. transport and storage or interim storage of temperature-sensitive goods, such as foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceutical products or medical products.
- Compared to conventional insulation boxes, well-known vacuum insulation transport containers provide an up to five times better insulation effect concerning thermal insulation due to the use of vacuum insulation elements (vacuum insulation panels—VIP). These boxes have a receptacle with a depositing compartment which is closed with a lid. In this context, the outer surface consists of an expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam and has a polypropylene insert on the inside, which forms the side surfaces of the depositing compartment. The outer layer of EPP foam surrounds an insulating layer of highly insulating vacuum insulation elements, whereby a specific heat flow Q in the range from 0.15 W/K to 0.19 W/K can be achieved. The lid is fixed on the receptacle in the manner of a tongue and groove connection by a circumferential groove in which a circumferential complementary projection engages.
- The state of the art in WO 2017/129 377 A1 reveals a corresponding transport container with a lid made of foamed plastic. It is proposed therein to fix the lid with the aid of a tongue and groove connection (circumferential groove and circumferential projection) in order to establish a connection between the lid and the receptacle in the manner of a press-fit or a snap-fit connection.
- A typical characteristic of such vacuum insulation transport containers is that the lid is removed from the receptacle by hand in order to reach the contents. Due to the good insulation, the connection between the lid and the receptacle, i.e. between the groove and the projection, must be so tight that heat exchange is minimal. Therefore, a need exists for insulation transport containers that address the deficiencies of the prior art.
- The present invention pertains to a vacuum insulation transport container for temperature-controlled transport of temperature-sensitive goods according to the independent claim.
- It is the object of the invention to provide a vacuum insulation transport container which overcomes the disadvantages of the state of the art and which is particularly comfortable to open.
- The object is accomplished by a vacuum insulation transport container for temperature-controlled transport of foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceutical products or medical products according to the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject-matter of the respective subclaims.
- The invention encompasses a vacuum insulation transport container for temperature-controlled transport of temperature-sensitive goods, such as foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceutical products or medical products. The vacuum insulation transport container comprises a receptacle with a receiving volume and a lid. The receptacle comprises an outer upper rim portion, an inner upper rim portion and a middle upper rim portion disposed between the outer and inner upper rim portions. The outer upper rim portion at at least one corner comprises an access portion. Due to the access portion at the at least one corner of the outer upper rim portion, safe removal of the lid from the receptacle is ensured because, on the one hand, there is available good access at the corner and, on the other hand, the connection between lid and receptacle is opened simultaneously along two sides. In this way, a tight connection between lid and receptacle and thus minimum heat loss can be ensured, while the lid can be easily removed from the receptacle by hand.
- Particularly, preferably, the access portion is disposed at each corner on two adjacent side walls. The access portion thereby forms a recess in the outer upper rim portion, which extends from the corner along two sides of the receptacle. The user can reach under the lid along this recess and lift it to release the lid from the receptacle.
-
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an open vacuum insulation transport container for temperature-controlled transport according to the invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a first side view of the closed vacuum insulation transport container fromFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 shows a second side view of the closed vacuum insulation transport container fromFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 shows a top view of the lid for the vacuum insulation transport container fromFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 5 shows a top view of the receptacle for the vacuum insulation transport container fromFIG. 1 . - In accordance with an advantageous aspect, the access portion comprises a first end portion, a second end portion and a middle portion disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion. The respective end portions may have an identical shape and a mirrored geometry (with respect to the middle portion). The size of the middle portion may be increased relative to the size of the respective end portions.
- An additional advantage with regard to the design of the access portion is that the first end portion and the middle portion as well as the second end portion and the middle portion are each arranged at an angle α in the range from 90° to 145° to each other. The angled arrangement of the end portions (respectively the surfaces delimiting the end portions) allows the shape of the access portion to be terminated by the end portions.
- It is also advantageous if the first end portion and the second end portion have a shorter length le1, le2 than the middle portion lz. A middle portion enlarged with respect to the end portions enhances the access, especially when the end portions are arranged at an angle to the middle portion.
- Particularly preferably, the length le1, le2 of the first end portion and the second end portion is more than 1 cm and the length lz of the middle portion is more than 3 cm.
- Particularly preferably, the lid comprises an upper rim part, a lower rim part and an outer rim part. An outer edge of the lower rim part (cutting edge of the lower rim part and an outer rim part) is formed lying in one plane (or has no portions projecting up and down from this plane). Thus, the lower rim part forms a planar termination with the outer edge, which comes to bear on the receptacle.
- It is advantageous that the receptacle and the lid have an outer surface made of expanded polypropylene foam EPP.
- Another advantageous aspect is that the receptacle and the lid are made of polyethylene plastic. The polyethylene plastic is robust and also suitable for transport of moist goods.
- Another aspect is that the middle upper rim portion has a circumferential projection. The projection has a size and shape to be placed in a complementarily formed circumferential groove arranged on the lid.
- In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail using the examples shown in the attached drawings.
