Abstract

The present application discloses a temperature control plate and a Measurement method for the temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation. The temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation comprises a phase-change gel, a vacuum-sealing bag, a sealed plastic box, and an RFID passive temperature sensor tag. The phase-change gel is filled in the vacuum-sealing bag, and a supporting frame is embedded in the phase-change gel. The RFID passive temperature sensor tag is embedded in the phase-change gel. The vacuum-sealing bag is packed in the sealed plastic box, and the sealed plastic box is externally labeled with a tag identifier. The vacuum-sealing bag is a PET vacuum-sealing bag, and the sealed plastic box is a PET sealed plastic box. The Measurement method for the temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation is to detect the temperature of the temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation using a RFID reader, and the RFID reader transmits the temperature data to a data terminal. The present application solves the technical problems that the internal temperature of a temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation cannot be measured accurately, and achieves quick and effective measurement of the temperature of a phase-change material inside the temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation.

Claims (5)

1. A temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation, comprising a phase change gel ( 1 ), a vacuum-sealing bag ( 2 ), a sealed plastic box ( 3 ), and an RFID passive temperature sensor tag ( 5 ), wherein the phase change gel ( 1 ) is filled inside the vacuum-sealing bag ( 2 ) with a supporting frame ( 7 ) embedded within the phase change gel, an inner surface of the vacuum-sealing bag is in close contact with the phase change gel, and an inner space of the vacuum-sealing bag which is formed by the inner surface is a vacuum state; the RFID passive temperature sensor tag ( 5 ) is embedded inside a location of the phase change gel which is different from a location of the supporting frame, the vacuum-sealing bag ( 2 ) is placed inside the sealed plastic box ( 3 ), and a tag identifier ( 6 ) is attached to the outside of the sealed plastic box, the vacuum-sealing bag ( 2 ) is made of PET material, and the sealed plastic box ( 3 ) is made of PET plastic.

2. The temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing tape is attached around joints of the sealed plastic box for sealing.

3. The temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation according to claim 1 , wherein the RFID passive temperature sensor tag is embedded in a middle portion of the phase change gel, and the tag identifier is attached to an outside wall of the sealed plastic box at a position directly above the RFID passive temperature sensor tag.

4. The temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation according to claim 1 , wherein the cross-section of the sealed plastic box is one of a triangle, a quadrilateral, a hexagon, or an octagon.

5. The temperature control plate for cold-chain transportation according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting frame is a square grid formed by mutually perpendicular strip plates and the supporting frame is a metal frame.
