Abstract
A portable cooler container is provided. In one implementation, the portable cooler has an active temperature control system that is operated to heat or cool a chamber of a vessel to approach a temperature set point.
Claims20
A portable cooler container with active temperature control, comprising:
- a double-walled insulated container body having a chamber configured to receive and hold one or more temperature sensitive products;
- a temperature control system of the container body at least partially disposed between an outer wall of the container body and an inner wall of the container body that defines at least a portion of the chamber, comprising
- one or more thermoelectric elements in thermal communication with the chamber and configured to actively heat or cool said at least a portion of the chamber, and
- circuitry configured to control an operation of the one or more thermoelectric elements to heat or cool at least a portion of the chamber to a predetermined temperature or temperature range, the circuitry further configured to wirelessly communicate with a cloud-based data storage system or a remote electronic device;
- and
- an electronic display screen configured to display shipping address information for the portable cooler container.
