Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum-insulated stacking container for the temperature-controlled (e.g., refrigerated/cooled) transport of food according to the independent claim.
  • Stacking containers of this type are widely known from practice and are used, for example, in the handling of bread in bakeries in the form of plastic boxes for transport, but also for storage. These plastic boxes are stackable in a filled and in an unfilled state.
  • Such plastic boxes comprise a container wall, which on four sides thereof encloses a container bottom in an encircling fashion, thereby creating a container space that is open towards the top on one side and can be loaded with bread or the like.
  • the open rim of the container wall and the bottom are each designed with an encircling edge which can engage into each another.
  • the edge at the container bottom of an overlying plastic box can rest against the edge at the container wall of an underlying plastic box, so as to secure the stacked plastic boxes against slipping.
  • plastic boxes without insulation cannot be used for transport by delivery vehicles without a cooling/refrigeration unit. Even in vehicles with an integrated cooling/refrigeration unit, a significantly increased temperature effect occurs during transfer to the store. In this context, there is a risk that food stored therein or transported food may experience excessive temperature fluctuations, rendering the same unusable or causing the same to spoil.
  • a thermally insulating stacking container is shown in DE 20 2016 001 097 U1.
  • the transport container described therein can be used for temperature-sensitive food (e.g., bread, meat products, fish, etc.).
  • the transport container comprises a lower part consisting of an inner container and an outer container, between which an insulating material is disposed.
  • a closable lid is arranged on the lower part, the upper side of which, in the closed state, is complementary to the lower side of the transport container, so as to enable stacking.
  • the transport container is equipped with a lid, so that during stacking the lower side of the upper container is placed onto the closed lid. This results in principle in redundant insulation in the vertical direction, which is not required for normal food transport applications.
  • the present invention encompasses (vacuum-insulated) stacking containers for the temperature-controlled transport of food.
  • the stacking container has an outer container with an outer container bottom and an outer container wall, which are connected together so as to form a receiving space which is open on one side.
  • the stacking container further has an inner container with an inner container bottom and an inner container wail which are connected together so as to form a container space which is open on one side.
  • the inner container wall has an upper rim section
  • the outer container bottom has a lower rim section, which are designed in a complementary fashion so as to engage into each other when stacking containers are stacked one over the other.
  • a vacuum insulation element is arranged between the inner container wall and the outer container wall and between the inner container bottom and the outer container bottom.
  • the vacuum insulation element is a vacuum insulation panel (VIP) described, for example, in EP 2 700 891 A2 or DE 20 2014 004 515 U1.
  • a stacking container system consisting of at least two stacking containers arranged one above the other, wherein the outer bottom of an upper stacking container terminates the upper side of the container space of the lower stacking container.
  • This results in highly insulated, stackable compartments that provide a thermal system with good thermal conductances less than 0.5 W/K.
  • This corresponds to a heat transfer coefficient (U value) of approx. 0.61 W/(m 2 K) (inclusive of all thermal bridges, including the lid surface and based on the outer surface).
  • U value heat transfer coefficient
  • the temperature holding time achieved due to the very good insulation provided by the vacuum insulation elements is sufficient to achieve transport times of approx. 6 hours.
  • phase change materials can be introduced, which extend the temperature holding time accordingly.
  • the (PCM) accumulators sides and/or lids
  • an additional lid can be arranged, which comprises a vacuum insulation element.
  • the inner container wall at the upper rim section and the outer container bottom at the lower rim section each comprise an L-shaped stop.
  • the L-shaped design allows the upper rim section and the lower rim section to be simply designed in a complementary fashion so that the same are arrested in place in a slip-resistant fashion.
  • the L-shaped stop at the upper rim section and at the lower rim section each has a first profile section and (arranged at a right angle thereto) a second profile section, each with a minimum length of 0 . 5 cm.
  • the inner container wall comprises a projection completely encircling an upper rim section and having a size and shape such that, in the inserted state, the projection covers the outer container wall at least in sections.
  • the projection of the inner container wall is fixedly connected in an encircling fashion to the outer container wall.
  • the projection of the inner container and the outer container wall is preferably made of a thermally joinable plastic material.
  • the plastic material may include, for example, polyurethane, polypropylene, or polyethylene. in this context, the projection of the inner container is welded to the outer container wall.
  • the projection of the inner container is bonded to the outer container wall.
  • both thermally joinable and non-joinable materials can be joined by bonding.
  • the inner wall starting from the inner bottom, is arranged in a vertically tapering or a conically diverging fashion.
  • the vacuum insulation element is a one-piece vacuum insulation panel that is folded according to the course of the inner container bottom and the outer container bottom, respectively, it is advantageous for assembly if the distance between the inner container bottom and the outer container bottom is larger while the distance between the inner container wall and the outer container wall is smaller.
  • the size of the inner container bottom surface is at least 70 % of the size of the outer container bottom surface. Due to the excellent insulating properties of vacuum insulation panels, it is possible to keep the space between the inner container bottom surface and the outer container bottom surface small, so that a similarly large inner container bottom surface is provided compared to the outer container bottom surface.
  • the vacuum insulation element is a single (one-piece) vacuum insulation panel.
  • the vacuum insulation panel comprises at least one folded edge.
  • the outer container bottom has a size and shape so as to terminate in a completely encircling fashion the upper rim section of an underlying stacking container.
  • the termination between the containers is configured so as to inhibit convection.
  • the outer container bottom has a sufficient height offset in the bottom structure to engage, in the stacked state of two stacking containers, into the underlying upper rim section to such a depth that the thermal path of heat is sufficiently extended as well as convection is reduced,
  • FIG. 1 is a detailed perspective view of the outer container and the inner container according to an exemplary embodiment of the stacking container according to the invention for the temperature-controlled transport of food;

  • the outer container 3 comprises an outer container bottom 31 and an outer container wall 32 extending upwardly from the same.
  • the outer container wall 32 and the outer container bottom 31 are formed from one piece and are respectively molded from a plastic material in one manufacturing step,
  • the outer container 3 formed in this way has an upwardly open receiving space 33 on one side, into which the inner container 2 can be inserted almost entirely, so that a completely closed receiving space for a vacuum insulation element is created between the inside of the outer container 3 and the outside of the inner container 2 .
  • the inner container 2 has an inner container bottom 21 and an inner container wall 22 , which, being formed from one single material, are connected together, Thus, a container space 23 is formed, which is open on one side and which is suitable for accommodating food being intended for the temperature-controlled transport.
  • the inner container wall 22 has a rim section 221 at the top thereof with a completely encircling L-shaped stop.
  • the outer container bottom 31 has a lower rim section (not visible in this perspective view cf. FIG. 2 ), which is designed in a complementary fashion such that, when the stacking containers 1 are stacked one over the other, it rests against the L-shaped stop at the upper rim section 221 at the inner container wall 22 of the underlying stacking container 1 .
  • FIG. 2 The fully assembled stacking container for the temperature-controlled transport of food is shown in FIG. 2 in a lateral cross-sectional view.
  • the outer container 3 with an outer container bottom 31 and an outer container wall 32 , which are directly connected together, can be seen.
  • the inner container 2 is arranged in the upwardly open receiving space 33 .
  • the inner container 2 has an inner container bottom 21 and an inner container wall 22 , which are likewise directly connected.
  • the two L-shaped stop are designed in a complementary fashion such that, in the stacked state of two stacking containers 1 , they lie one inside the other so as to secure the stacking containers 1 against slipping.
  • the shown L-shaped stop at the lower rim section 311 has a first profile section 3111 with a length of 1.9 cm and a second profile section 3112 with a length of 0.8 cm.
  • the inner container wall 22 has a projection 222 completely encircling the upper rim section 221 .
  • the projection 222 has a size and shape being sufficient to completely cover the outer container wall 32 from above. in principle, the covering may also be formed in an incomplete fashion. This variant possibly results in disadvantages with regard to mechanical stability or thermal bridges.
  • the inner wall 22 starting from the inner bottom 21 , is arranged in a conically diverging fashion, i.e., extending towards the outer container wall 32 .
  • the degree of conicity can vary depending on the production technology and the application. As a rule, a minimum of about 1° is considered appropriate.
