Description

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT BOX

The present invention relates to a reinforcement system for storage and / or transport boxes, especially for the reinforcement of the junction between wall and lid of said box. Furthermore, the invention relates to a storage and transport box incorporating said reinforcement system, particularly in boxes with thermal insulation of the interior space, for the storage and / or transport of food requiring special storage conditions, for example, storage and / or transport of fish.

BACKGROUND

At present there are various solutions aimed at boxes for the storage and / or transport of fresh food, which require special storage conditions, for example, to avoid losing the cold chain.

As a general rule, the boxes for the storage and / or transport of this type of food have a base body and a lid, both rigid components, made of a material that favors the thermal insulation of the interior of the box. For example, the most used storage and transport boxes in the industry are made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), since this material is economical, facilitates the manufacturing process, is lightweight and has a low thermal conductivity coefficient, which for densities between 12 to 30 gr / l ranges from 0.030 to 0.045 W / (mK), providing good thermal insulation properties at low weight.

Although the storage and / or transport boxes made of EPS are the most used in the industry, these boxes have several disadvantages mainly derived from the low mechanical resistance of the material with which they are manufactured, mainly in the face of flexural stresses, which They usually result in the breakage of the faces of the box due to blows during handling, whether on the sides, bottom and / or lid. In addition, the resistance to compressive stresses in EPS boxes is mainly due to the use of high-density EPS and the handling of wall thicknesses, which limits the potential for reducing the weight of current boxes. Therefore, there is a need to have a box that maintains the advantages of the current boxes used by the industry, mainly with regard to thermal insulation and compressive strength, but that improves the resistance to shocks and reduces the weight of box.

In the prior art there are various solutions that claim to obtain an optimal combination of performance, improving strength, optimizing weight, providing thermal insulation according to storage requirements, lid sealing to prevent liquid leakage and other advantages associated with food storage and transport with cold chain. For example, GB 2337044 discloses a box for the storage and transport of fish, comprising a base body and a lid, arranged to provide a closure that reduces liquid seepage from inside the box, for example, of ice melted. To this end, the base body of the box comprises an edge with a projection and the cover comprises an edge with a groove arranged to receive said projection, establishing a pressure connection between body and lid. In addition, the box in GB 2337044 comprises elements intended to favor the stacking of boxes for transport. In this context, although GB 2337044 defines optimum sealing and stacking qualities for an EPS box, it does not propose improvements to avoid breakage by hitting the face or faces of the box nor does it seek to reduce the weight of the same.

On the other hand, WO 2011/062502 discloses an EPS box, for the transport of food, where one of the objectives would be to achieve a good combination of low weight and lower exterior volume, maintaining the same interior volume. For this, the box in WO 2011/062502 replaces the EPS cover with a thin film, which would maintain sealing properties and, considering the transport of stacked boxes, would not significantly affect the thermal insulation properties, taking advantage of the insulation provided by the upper case in contact with the thin film of the lower case. In this context, although WO 2011/062502 seeks to reduce the weight of the EPS box, the approximation used in said document considerably reduces thermal insulation performance, particularly when the boxes are not in stacked format.

Finally, document FR 2286068 defines an EPS box whose base has perpendicular sides with internal reinforcement projections, on which the lid rests in its closed position. While it is expected that the internal reinforcements in the walls of the disclosed box in FR 2286068 improve the mechanical strength of the box, in this document an integral solution is not disclosed that seeks to increase resistance and, at the same time, reduce the weight of the box. In addition, FR 2286068 establishes that the cover rests on the internal reinforcement projections without contemplating a special mechanism aimed at communicating the efforts exerted on the cover, such as compression, towards said reinforcement projections.

Considering the above, it is necessary to have a reinforcement system and a box that solve the problems presented by the prior art, in particular, that deliver greater resistance to shocks and reduce the weight of the box. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

An objective of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the present boxes for storage and / or transport of goods, preferably of food, said boxes being preferably made of a material that favors thermal insulation, such as EPS.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a reinforcement system to be implemented in a box, particularly between at least one wall and the lid, increasing the resistance to bending and / or shock damage on the faces of the box.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a box that incorporates the reinforcement system, preferably integrated in the same material of the box, which favors the reduction of the weight of the box compared to current solutions.

Another object of the invention is to provide a box made of EPS for the storage and / or transport of fish, preferably salmon, which favors thermal insulation, control of fluids inside the box, flexural strength and / or shock, compression resistance and weight reduction against current boxes, integrating the reinforcement system of the present invention.

In order to fulfill the above objectives the present invention proposes a wall-cover reinforcement system, for the reinforcement of a storage box and / or transport of goods, wherein the box comprises: a base body formed by side walls and a bottom wall, each comprising interior and exterior faces, wherein the interior faces define an interior space with an opening; Y

a lid with an inner face, an outer face and a peripheral edge, to close the opening of the base body and define a closed configuration of the box.

The wall-cover reinforcement system for the box with the above elements comprises:

at least one wall reinforcement body disposed on at least one face of at least one side wall of the base body of the box, wherein said wall reinforcement body comprises a wall support area disposed towards the opening of the base body; Y

at least one lid reinforcing body disposed on the inner face of the lid, wherein the lid reinforcing body comprises a lid support zone facing the wall support area when the box is closed;

wherein the wall reinforcement body and the cover reinforcement body define at least one reinforcement assembly.

The purpose of the reinforcement assembly is to provide a resistant element that not only allows to obtain an adequate compressive strength that can be exerted on the box during its use, but also seeks to avoid the damage that the box receives mainly on its upper side faces. and inferior, product of blows or its manipulation, an issue that usually results in the breaking of the affected face considering the low flexural strength of the material usually used in this type of boxes.

According to one embodiment, the wall reinforcement body is disposed on the inner face of at least one side wall of the base body and the cover reinforcement body is disposed into the peripheral edge of the lid. In this way, it is possible to maintain the outer volume of the box that affects the stacking and storage conditions of the boxes, according to the needs of the industry, achieving a balance between resistance and maintaining the inner volume of the box, the which is affected in a non-significant way for the interests of the industry. Without prejudice to this, the present invention it contemplates as an alternative that the reinforcement assembly is arranged outside the peripheral edge of the box.

According to one embodiment, the wall reinforcement body and / or the cover reinforcement body have a curved surface, where, preferably, the edges of the curved surface of the wall reinforcement body and / or the body of Cover reinforcement are arranged tangentially with the wall and / or cover, respectively. Through this configuration a smooth interior finish is achieved, which prevents unwanted accumulation of waste inside the box and facilitates cleaning. In addition, the internal configuration of the box seeks to avoid damage to stored goods and increase the stiffness of the lateral faces.

According to another embodiment, the reinforcement system comprises at least one reinforcement set arranged on each side wall of the box, where reinforcement assemblies on opposite side walls of the box can be arranged facing each other, forming a pair of reinforcement sets opposites According to an alternative embodiment, the reinforcement system comprises an upper reinforcing element for each pair of opposing reinforcing assemblies, wherein said upper reinforcing element joins said opposite reinforcing assemblies, and wherein said upper reinforcing element is disposed on the inside of the lid. This configuration allows a comprehensive integration of the different reinforcement elements that the system possesses, forming an arrangement of cooperating reinforcement elements to allow maintaining the resistance of the box at a lower weight. Without prejudice to the foregoing, it is relevant to note that the invention also contemplates the alternative of each reinforcement element operating independently, in fact, according to one embodiment, the reinforcement system comprises at least one reinforcement element disposed on the face. inside the cover, joining opposite portions of the peripheral edge of the cover without necessarily being related to a wall-cover reinforcement assembly.

In line with the above, each upper reinforcing element can be configured as a beam with an arc profile, with a wider cross section towards the peripheral edge of the lid. This configuration seeks to increase the flexural strength of the lid and integrate, better, the reinforcement elements in the lid with the wall-cap reinforcement sets. In addition, this configuration protects the cover against impacts and compression.

According to an alternative embodiment, each cover reinforcement body projects outwardly from the inside face of the cover, entering the opening of the base body in the closed configuration of the case. By means of this configuration, it is intended that the cover reinforcement body, in addition to increasing the resistance of the cover-wall joint, facilitates the insertion of the cover into the base body when the box is configured in its closed state.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the wall support area and the cover support area facing said wall support area are at least partially contacted. By means of said contact, the reinforcement components in the lid are communicated with the reinforcement components in the base body, generating a continuous reinforcement body in a closed configuration. According to this modality, the resistance of the box is substantially improved.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the wall reinforcement body and the cover reinforcement body are arranged substantially vertically. In this way, the resistance given by the reinforcement body and the material needed to make them is optimized. In this context, it should be noted that a preferred embodiment of the invention contemplates that the reinforcement system is integrated in the box, made of the same box material. Further. Preferably, the material of the box is selected from the group consisting of materials that favor thermal insulation, preferably the material is expanded polystyrene (EPS).

On the other hand, as stated above, the present invention also relates to a box for the storage and / or transport of goods, comprising:

a base body formed by side walls and a bottom wall, each comprising interior and exterior faces, wherein the interior faces define an interior space with an opening; Y

Said box is configured to additionally comprise a wall-cap reinforcement system in accordance with the qualities and characteristics described above. According to an embodiment of the box, the opening of the base body comprises a perimeter edge with a first connection means and the inner face of the cover comprises a perimeter edge with a second connection means, said first and second connection means being complementary to each other. Preferably, the first connection means corresponds to a connection edge that projects upward from the opening, and the second connection means corresponds to a connection slot arranged to receive the connection edge.

On the other hand, the inner face of the bottom of the base body of the box can comprise an arrangement of grooves, especially arranged for the accumulation of fluids inside the box, whether the product of the melting of a cooling medium such as ice or from of the stored goods. According to one embodiment, the slots allow storing at least 88 ce of fluid, separating it from the stored goods. These grooves also favor thermal damping, improving thermal insulation performance of the box.

According to another embodiment of the box, the outer face of the bottom of the base body comprises a configuration of recesses and stacking grooves, wherein said stacking grooves are configured to receive stacking projections arranged on the outer face of the lid. In this regard, the recesses on the outer face of the bottom of the base body allow to substantially reduce the weight of the box and, at the same time, increase the resistance of the bottom of the box against shocks. In addition, the arrangement of the recesses is designed to avoid substantially affecting the thermal insulation properties. On the other hand, the provision of stacking grooves on the outer face of the bottom of the box and stacking projections on the outer face of the lid, which cooperatively trace during stacking, allows not only to favor regular stacking of the box, a over another in the same direction, avoiding relative lateral displacement between stacked boxes, but favors cross-stacking or substantially orthogonal stacking between boxes, usually used when transporting this type of boxes, where a first level is arranged with boxes in a first direction and a second level is arranged with the boxes in a second direction substantially orthogonal with respect to the first direction of the boxes in the first level.

According to another embodiment, the base body comprises four side walls, two major side walls and two minor side walls, where the system of wall-cap reinforcement comprises at least one reinforcement set disposed on each minor side wall and at least two reinforcement assemblies arranged on each major side wall. This configuration seeks to provide an adequate number of reinforcement assemblies on each face of the case, where larger side faces could have more than one reinforcement assembly. In this context, we must emphasize that the reinforcement assemblies not only seek to favor compressive strength, but also seek to avoid the breakage of the faces caused by blows or manipulation, due to the low flexural strength of the material usually used.

According to the previous embodiment, a reinforcement set in the minor side wall can be arranged 1/2 of the length of the minor side wall and two reinforcement assemblies in the major side wall can be arranged 1/3 and 2/3 of the length of the greater lateral wall. Other configurations of reinforcement assemblies are also encompassed by the present application, particularly with respect to the larger side wall, for example comprising three reinforcement assemblies located 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of the length of the greater lateral wall, or 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 of the length of the greater lateral wall.

On the other hand, in accordance with alternative embodiments of the invention, the base body can comprise vertical perforations towards the corners of the base body, generating a vertical space in the corners that seeks to reduce the weight of the box by removing material, without sacrificing resistance or thermal insulation capacity. These perforations can be substantially cylindrical, generated, for example, by corresponding modifications in the mold, during the manufacture of the box.

According to one embodiment, the base body comprises at least one corner recess arranged towards the upper corners of the base body, defining an area for removing the cover when it is in a closed configuration. The corner recess allows to take the exposed edge of the lid easily, to favor the removal of the lid when it is in closed configuration.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the base body comprises at least one lateral recess disposed on the outer face of at least one side wall, defining a surface for a label. This configuration allows you to place any label on one or more of the side faces of the box, or even on the lid, in an area especially designed for the label, which has a minimum recess that avoids the damage of the labels by contact, protecting them with the general envelope of the box.

On the other hand, the base body comprises at least one lower recess disposed on the outer face of at least two side walls, towards the bottom of the base body, defining a grip surface. Preferably, the lower grip recess is arranged on the opposite side walls of the box.

On the other hand, the outer face of the cover comprises tightening zones arranged towards the peripheral edge of the lid. Preferably, said tightening zones are in a position aligned with each cover reinforcement body. The tightening zone corresponds to an indication, on the lid of the box, which is intended for the implementation of ties, slabs or tightening bands that are used to keep the covers closed, exerting compression between the lid and the base body. Usually the implementation of said bands or bands is carried out in any area of the box, damaging the box when said area is not sufficiently resistant to the efforts involved in the implementation of the closure bands. Additionally, considering that the implementation of the zunchos is carried out in the production line, after closing the box and when they already contain the goods to be stored and / or transported, any damage resulting from the application of the zunchos, which results in disabling Use of the box generates a delay in the production line due to the replacement of the box in question.

In this sense, the tightening zone contemplated by the invention provides a clear indication to the operator on the area where each strap should be applied, where said area, being aligned with the reinforcing bodies, is configured to resist the tightening force exerted by the zuncho and prevents damage caused by it on the box, at least those that require replacement making it impossible to use.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the box is made of a material selected from the group of materials that favors thermal insulation, preferably the material is expanded polystyrene (EPS). In addition, the density of the material is less than 23.7 gr / l and greater than 16.7 gr / l, more preferably approximately 18.6 gr / l, considering variations of + - 10% resulting from the manufacturing process.

On the other hand, the thickness of the side walls of the base body is between 20 and 40 mm, preferably between 23 and 37 mm, and the thickness of the cover is between 18 and 30 mm, preferably between 20 and 27 mm. In addition, the thickness of the bottom of the base body is between 20 and 30 mm, preferably it is 26 mm. Based on this configuration, the weight of the box is less than 420 grams, preferably 365 grams. In addition, the compressive strength of the box is at least 602 kg, equating or even improving the current boxes, which reach compression loads of around 600 kg, but substantially reducing the overall weight of the empty box, which Usually it is above 450 gr. All this maintaining a minimum variation in terms of thermal insulation, matching the thermal performance of current boxes.

Finally, it is relevant to note that the box in question is used for thermal insulation of the interior space of the base body, preferably for the storage and / or transport of food that requires maintaining a cold chain and / or keeping cool towards destination, for example , any type of marine food like fish. In effect, one mode of the box is specially designed for salmon storage.
