Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package for storing or transporting thermally sensitive products, which can be used in particular as a refrigerated or frozen packaging.
  • the packaging according to the invention can also be used for warm goods.
  • a packaging according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US Pat. No. 3,730,240 known.
  • Other packaging is from the US 5 857 612 A and from the EP 2 514 680 A1 known.
  • the serving as a cool box packaging an outer shell and an interior of the shell on all sides surrounding insulation device (referred to as insulating layer) on.
  • the insulating device is formed from a plurality of individual insulation elements, each consisting of a fibrous material. Further, one of the insulating members is held by a holding mechanism.
  • the packaging has the disadvantage that their production and assembly require many steps due to the multi-part insulation layer and the required holding mechanism and are therefore time-consuming.
  • the fibrous composition of the insulation elements can not ensure optimum insulation because the material in the insulation elements is not uniformly arranged and the thermal properties of the fibrous material are location dependent.
  • a packaging in particular cooling packaging, which comprises an outer packaging and an interior of the outer packaging surrounding all sides insulating device.
  • the outer packaging has a jacket with a front wall, a rear wall and side walls which connect the front wall to the rear wall, and a bottom wall and a top wall.
  • the insulation device on the ceiling wall and the bottom wall as Dämmrow, each defining an airspace.
  • the insulating device according to the invention further comprises a one-piece arranged in the outer packaging Dämmeinlage comprising at least one air space limiting insulating wall.
  • the packaging according to the invention is thus formed from a few elements, which the production process and the assembly of the packaging is much easier.
  • air is used as insulation material, which causes no cost due to additional materials and on the other hand, a more uniform insulation result.
  • the outer packaging is formed according to the invention from an integral Umverpackungszuexcellent.
  • the outer packaging is produced in a quick way and material-saving.
  • the overpacking blank can then be easily folded to produce the overpack.
  • At least one first insulating wall is preferably arranged on the one side wall, which has at least two foldable tabs which form the top wall and / or the bottom wall in the final assembled state, and / or at least one second insulating wall is arranged on the other side wall, which has at least two foldable tabs , which form the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall in the final assembly state.
  • the final state of assembly is the state in which no further steps are required to produce the components of the packaging. Since the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall are formed as Dämmrow the insulation means, a part of the insulation device is integrated in the outer packaging, which can be dispensed with additional elements.
  • first insulating wall on the first side wall and the second insulating wall on the other side wall for forming the top wall and the bottom wall are arranged. It is also conceivable that both insulating walls on the same side wall to form the top wall and the bottom wall are arranged.
  • folding tabs each one airspace limiting Dämmrise be formed in a simple and fast manner.
  • the first insulating wall and / or the second insulating wall on a foldable spacer tab whereby the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall are cuboid in the final assembly state.
  • the cuboid design of the first and / or the second insulating wall ensures a more uniform insulation in the direction of the thickness of the insulating walls. It may be advantageous if the first insulating wall and / or the second insulating wall each have a foldable adhesive flap, which is connected to an inner side of the side walls, in particular glued. Thus, it is ensured in a simple manner that the insulating walls are made stable. The larger the adhesive flap, the more stable the first and second insulating wall.
  • the insulating insert four Dämm render on each of which limit an air space. In particular, the four Dämm render are arranged to each other such that a Dämmeinlage rectangular shape is generated. Thus, the package according to the invention can be used for many commercial applications.
  • the Dämmeinlage is located on the front wall, the rear wall and the side walls. Due to the precise arrangement of the insulating insert on the insides of the jacket of the outer packaging the Dämmeinage serves as a kind of reinforcement of the side walls and the front wall and the rear wall. Furthermore, an exact positioning of the product to be transported in the interior of the outer packaging is possible. Further preferably, the insulating insert is formed from a one-piece Dämmeinlagezuêtites, resulting in a fast and cost-effective production of the insulating insert. Thus, the entire manufacturing process of the packaging can basically be reduced to two steps by which the outer packaging and the insulating insert are manufactured. In this case, only one type of machine, namely for the formation of the blanks, necessary, whereby costs for additional machines, for example, for the processing of insulating elements of fibrous material can be avoided.
  • the Dämmeinlagezusacrificing is folded in the storage and transport state. Since the insulation insert blank takes up little space, a large supply of insulation inserts can be created for different applications.
  • the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall are each formed from two part walls, wherein the partial walls completely cover a ceiling opening and / or a bottom opening of the jacket of the outer packaging.
  • the package By providing a respectively in the final assembly state covered by a hinged lid gripping opening in the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall, the package can be easily opened and granted access to the product stored in the package.
  • the hinged lid serves to cover the gripping opening in the final assembly state, so that no air escapes from the air chambers of the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall.
  • the insulation properties of the package according to the invention are maintained.
  • cooling elements are inserted into the air chamber of the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall. As a result, the temperature of the goods stored in the package can remain unchanged even under very hot ambient temperatures.
  • the outer packaging further comprises a cover plate and / or a bottom plate, whereby the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall are covered in the final assembly state.
  • the cover plate and / or the bottom plate serve as protection for the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall from potential damage, which could otherwise lead to the fact that the insulation properties of the ceiling wall and / or the bottom wall are affected.
  • the thickness of the top wall and / or the bottom wall can be selected by changing the dimensions of the foldable parts of the first tab and / or the second tab.
  • the packaging of the invention can be used by simple design changes for different applications.
  • the thickness of all insulating walls of the insulating insert is the same. This has the consequence that all Dämmread have the same or a very similar thermal resistance.
  • the outer packaging and the Dämmeinlage are preferably made of corrugated cardboard.
  • the corrugated board has the advantage that it has on the one hand a high strength and on the other hand good insulation properties due to their production-related air spaces.
  • the package may be stably formed and have additional protection for the temperature of the product stored in the package.
