Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport container system with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and to an inner container for a transport container system with the features of the preamble of claim 8. Finally, the invention also relates to a lid for a transport container with the features of the preamble of claim 13.
  • Transport container systems of the type in question are widely known in practice. They serve, for example, to organize the transport of pharmaceutical goods within the distribution cycle of the pharmaceutical industry. In technical jargon, such a transport container system is referred to as a "Returnable Domestic Shipper" (RDS; RDS box).
  • RDS Returnable Domestic Shipper
  • a transport container system which initially comprises an outer container made of a rigid, resistant material, consisting of a trough-shaped lower part with a base and a shell, and a lid that closes the lower part at the open side.
  • the outer container and its lid can be made, for example, of thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic material, but also of metal or composite materials.
  • the lid can be loosely placed on the lower part, or it can be hinged on one side by means of appropriate hinge elements and, if necessary, be lockable in some way on the opposite side. This is explained in detail in the prior art described above.
  • an outer container contains a trough-shaped inner container inserted into the lower part of the outer container.
  • This inner container has an inner base and an inner wall.
  • the inner container forms an open-topped receiving space for the transported goods.
  • This inner container referred to as the "liner,” can itself be made of a rigid, durable material, i.e., a material similar to that of the outer container. Preferably, it is made of a thermally insulating material.
  • the inner container is smaller than the lower part of the outer container, creating a gap between the inner and outer containers at both the outer shell and the base.
  • Appropriately sized vacuum insulation panels are positioned within this gap, both at the base and along the outer shell walls.
  • the inner container features a circumferential collar at its upper edge, extending outwards beyond the inner shell and covering the gap between the inner and outer containers, thus preventing foreign objects from entering from above.
  • the walls of the inner mantle diverge slightly conically from the inner bottom of the inner container upwards.
  • a plate-shaped latent heat storage element is arranged on the inner floor. Its outer dimensions correspond precisely to the inner dimensions of the inner floor within the receiving chamber, i.e., its clear length and width. A minimal gap remains at the edges, allowing the latent heat storage element, which has corresponding access openings at its edges, to be grasped by hand and lifted out of the receiving chamber. Plate-shaped latent heat storage elements are also arranged in a row around all the inner walls of the inner casing. These rest at their edges on the underside of the latent heat storage element located on the inner floor.
  • the latent heat storage elements associated with the inner walls of the inner casing are provided with projections of varying heights, so that their effective outer surfaces taper slightly conically, while their inner surfaces run exactly parallel to each other.
  • the two latent heat storage elements located at the top and bottom of the receiving space are identical in their external dimensions. However, their external dimensions differ from those of the latent heat storage elements located at the edges. If the inner container is rectangular, the laterally arranged latent heat storage elements also differ from each other in pairs.
  • the previously described transport container system is comparatively complex. In particular, it requires the use of at least two different sizes of latent heat storage elements, each in pairs. Such a transport container system is comparatively complex and expensive for a goods cycle designed for maximum efficiency, for example, in the pharmaceutical sector.
  • This device features an outer container with a trough-shaped base and a lid that closes the base at the open end.
  • a lid body is attached to the lid and fits onto the outer container.
  • a heat sink is housed within the lid body, which is provided with projections on which the heat sink can be placed.
  • a container emerges, consisting of a base, side walls, and a lid.
  • the lid has an outer shell and an inner lining, between which a vacuum insulation panel is positioned.
  • the outer shell and the inner lining are firmly joined by a weld bead that forms a watertight seal.
  • the US 4,065,336 reveals a heat storage container with a lid that can be removed to access the interior of the container.
  • a portable case with a front door emerges.
  • the portable case has an outer casing consisting of a top wall, a The lower wall, side walls, and inner walls are formed by a thermal insulator located between the side walls and the inner walls.
  • a cavity exists between the upper wall, the lower wall, and the inner walls. Within this cavity is a chamber bounded by insulators and walls. The chamber can be removed from and reinserted into the case when the front door is open.
  • a container of a cooling mixture is positioned in the upper part of the chamber, resting on a grid supported by opposing, inwardly projecting protrusions. Alternatively, a container can hold a hot liquid, in which case it rests on the wall forming one of the bottom walls.
  • a heat storage container emerges, consisting of a tank and a lid.
  • the lid is pivotally mounted on the tank.
  • the GB 2523726 A The diagram reveals a container for thermal insulation.
  • the container has a lid with a pocket to hold a vacuum insulation panel, a protective element, and a PCM panel.
  • the pocket is not limited at the bottom by the lid.
  • the JP S59150763 U This concerns a transport container system that has an outer container and a lid.
  • the outer containers are designed so that they can be stacked on top of each other.
  • the JP 4778856 B2 discloses a lid for a transport container, wherein the lid has a lid body with a receptacle for at least one vacuum insulation panel.
  • the inner container has at least one inwardly projecting projection on at least two opposite sides at the upper edge of the inner shell, that the clear distance between the opposite projections is slightly less than the corresponding internal dimension - length or width - of the inner floor in the receiving space, so that the projections form a support for a latent heat storage element, i.e. a latent heat storage element with a corresponding external dimension can be placed on these projections.
  • the inner container of the transport container system is designed such that, as in known transport container systems, two latent heat storage elements with identical external dimensions can be installed at the top and bottom of the receiving space.
  • the transport container system according to the invention requires exactly two latent heat storage elements: one at the bottom of the receiving space and one at the upper, open side of the receiving space, which is later closed by a lid.
  • These two latent heat storage elements have the same external dimensions. They are therefore one and the same type of latent heat storage element. This is correspondingly particularly cost-effective.
  • each individual latent heat storage element is itself composed of several sub-latent heat storage elements.
  • a latent heat storage element of a certain length and width can be composed of two sub-latent heat storage elements of the same length but only half the width. In this case, one could, for example, work with a total of four identical sub-latent heat storage elements, two at the bottom and two at the top.
  • the projections on the upper edge of the inner shell of the inner container create a support for a second latent heat storage element at the upper end of the receiving space, without substantially impairing the accessibility of the receiving space from above after removal of the latent heat storage element located there.
  • the temperature stability in the receiving chamber of a transport container system according to the invention is sufficient for classic goods distribution cycles, such as those in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • the two latent heat storage elements used in the receiving chamber, as described in the invention, are sufficient for this purpose.
  • Latent heat storage elements arranged on the inner walls of the inner shell are unnecessary, making the transport container system very simple and cost-effective.
  • the design according to the invention does not ultimately preclude the arrangement of latent heat storage elements on one or more inner walls of the inner jacket. This can be an option if a very long-lasting temperature stability in the receiving space proves necessary and/or the heat load from the transported goods is particularly high.
  • the invention also relates to an inner container in which the problem previously identified is solved by the features of claim 8.
  • Such an inner container is suitable for use in a transport container system of the type in question.
  • the invention also relates to a lid for a transport container with the features of claim 13.
  • a key feature of this lid is the recess in the lid body, in which at least one vacuum insulation panel can be accommodated. This increases the thermal insulation that such a lid can provide.
  • the lid body consists of two interconnected half-shells, between which the recess is formed, in which the vacuum insulation panel, if present, is arranged. The half-shells are detachably connected to each other and are identical in design.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of a transport container system with an outer container 1, which consists of a trough-shaped lower part 4 having a bottom 2 and a shell 3, and a lid 5 that closes the lower part 4 at the open side.
  • the lid 5 is made in two parts, and both parts of the lid 5 are pivotally hinged laterally to the upper edge of the lower part 4 of the outer container 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows the outer container 1 with the lid 5 open, i.e., two laterally unfolded parts of the lid 5.
  • Fig. 2 Looking into the interior of the lower part 4 of the outer container 1, one finds that a tub-shaped inner container 6 is inserted in the lower part 4.
  • the lid 5 is not essential to the teaching of the invention; the invention primarily relates to the lower part 4 of the outer container 1 with the inner container 6 arranged therein.
  • the outer container 1 is made of a rigid, durable material, in this case, possibly fiber-reinforced plastic.
  • the outer container 1 is designed to protect the goods inside the transport container system when the system is moved, for example, on conveyor belts or loaded into or unloaded from the cargo area of vehicles.
  • the inner container 6, on the other hand, primarily serves to safely transport the goods inside and to provide thermal insulation.
  • FIG. 3 Figure 1 shows the inner container 6 for the transport container system according to the invention in a perspective exploded view.
  • Such an inner container 6 can be used with another outer container or packaging. This is reflected in independent claims 8 to 12.
  • the inner container 6 is designed in a trough shape and has an inner base 7 and an inner shell 8. This creates an open-topped receiving space 9 in which goods can be transported.
  • FIG. 4 Figure 1 shows a cross-section through the inner container 6. It can be seen that the walls of the inner shell 8 run practically parallel to each other. However, for manufacturing reasons, particularly for demolding the inner container 6 from a suitable tool, it may also prove advantageous for the walls of the inner shell 8 to diverge slightly conically from the inner base 7.
  • the inner floor 7 in the recording room 9 has certain internal dimensions, namely a certain clear length, in Fig. 3 and 4 to measure from left to right, and a certain clear width, in Fig. 3 measuring from back to front, has.
  • Fig. 3 in connection with Fig. 4 also recognize that a plate-shaped latent heat storage element 10 is arranged in the recording chamber 9 on the inner floor 7 of the inner container 6 ( Fig. 4 ).
  • the external dimensions of the latent heat storage element 10, arranged on the inner base 7, essentially correspond to the internal dimensions of the inner base 7 in the receiving chamber 9. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the external dimensions of the latent heat storage element 10 will be chosen to be as small as possible compared to the internal dimensions of the inner base 7 in the receiving chamber 9.
  • the latent heat storage element 10 should be easy to install there, but also be removable again without major problems if necessary. With a relatively easily elastically deformable material for the inner casing 8 of the inner container 6, the latent heat storage element 10 can certainly also be somewhat are pressed into the inner container 6 in order to ultimately rest against the inner base 7 of the inner container 6 (press fit).
  • Latent heat storage elements of the type in question are now available for a wide range of target temperatures.
  • the desired target temperature should correspond to the goods being transported. In the field of pharmaceuticals, the desired transport and storage temperature is a few degrees °C.
  • the latent heat storage element(s) ensures that a stable temperature within the desired range of the target temperature is maintained in the receiving chamber 9, which is thermally insulated at least by the inner container 6.
  • the inner container 6 has an inwardly projecting projection 11 on two opposite sides at the upper edge of the inner shell 8.
  • the clear distance between the opposing projections 11 is slightly less than the corresponding internal dimension – length or width – of the inner base 7 in the receiving space 9.
  • the projections 11 thus form a support for a latent heat storage element 10 with the corresponding external dimensions.
  • Fig. 3 and 4 It can be seen that the receiving chamber 9 in the inner container 6 is effectively tempered by means of the two latent heat storage elements 10, 12. This is possible without having to arrange additional latent heat storage elements on the inner shell 8 of the inner container 6. It is sufficient to use only one type of latent heat storage element, which is used twice in this inner container 6: as the first latent heat storage element 10 on the inner base 7 and as the second latent heat storage element 12 at the upper edge of the inner shell 8 of the inner container 6. This provides a structurally simple and therefore significantly more cost-effective solution for the application area of the transport container system according to the invention.
  • the first latent heat storage element 10 can easily be removed upwards from the receiving space 9 in the inner container 6, provided the receiving space 9 is sufficiently high, by placing it at an angle in the receiving space 9 and then pulling it upwards through the opening between the two projections 11 near the diagonal position.
  • Fig. 3 and 4 Two projections 11 are clearly visible, arranged opposite each other on the two narrow sides of the rectangular inner container 6. In principle, the projections 11 could be located on the long sides or on all four sides. However, the arrangement of exactly two projections 11 opposite each other on the narrow sides offers the most advantages in terms of handling.
