Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural product transportation, and in particular to a storage rack for transporting agricultural products. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural products refer to plants, animals, microorganisms and their primary products obtained in agricultural activities, covering fields such as crop farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. They include both unprocessed raw harvests, such as grains, vegetables, fruits, livestock and poultry meat, and aquatic products, as well as products that have undergone initial processing such as sorting, washing, cutting, freezing and packaging, but whose basic natural characteristics and chemical properties have not been changed.

[0003] Currently, most storage racks for agricultural products (especially fruits and vegetables) during transportation are simple in structure, with their main function being simply to stack goods in layers to make full use of the space inside the transport vehicle. These racks mostly only have basic load-bearing capacity and lack continuous and effective moisture retention and preservation measures during transportation. Fruits and vegetables have vigorous respiration and transpiration after harvesting, making them extremely prone to water loss and wilting. Existing manual timed watering methods are not only labor-intensive and cumbersome to operate, but also difficult to accurately control humidity, easily leading to rotting or poor preservation. Secondly, during loading, unloading, and storage operations, when loading or unloading goods located deep in the racks (such as near the inside of the vehicle or the back of the shelf), operators need to lean into the racks or reach their arms deep to pull out or put in the goods. This process is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to collisions and squeezing of goods due to limited operating space, causing damage to agricultural products.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage rack that can automatically spray water to keep fresh and facilitate the automatic output of goods, in order to solve problems such as troublesome manual maintenance, poor preservation effect and difficulty in retrieving goods from deep positions, thereby reducing the loss of agricultural products and improving the efficiency of logistics operations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage rack for transporting agricultural products, which solves the technical problems in the prior art where the lack of continuous and effective automatic humidification measures leads to the easy loss of water, wilting or rotting of fruits and vegetables, and the cumbersome operation of storing and retrieving deep-positioned goods due to structural limitations, which can easily damage agricultural products.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0007] A storage rack for transporting agricultural products is characterized by comprising: a storage rack body, a loading and unloading mechanism, and a spraying mechanism;

[0008] The loading / unloading mechanism and the spraying mechanism are respectively installed on the storage rack body;

[0009] The loading and unloading mechanism includes multiple frames, several rollers, multiple conveyor belts, and several auxiliary shafts;

[0010] The spraying mechanism includes a water collection tank, multiple atomizing nozzles, a reciprocating threaded rod, and a limiting rod.

[0011] The loading and unloading mechanism solves the problem of difficulty in retrieving goods from deep shelves in traditional shelving and the need for manual labor, greatly reducing labor intensity, improving logistics efficiency, and reducing damage to goods caused by limited space for manual operation. The spraying mechanism solves the problem of agricultural products (especially fruits and vegetables) wilting due to strong respiration and transpiration during transportation. It maintains appropriate humidity through automatic spraying, prevents rotting, and improves the preservation effect.

[0012] As an improvement, multiple frames are fixedly installed on the storage rack body, a number of rollers are uniformly rotated and installed on the frames, and multiple conveyor belts are respectively sleeved on a group of rollers.

[0013] The frame structure forms the planar structure for transporting goods, ensuring the stability of the transport components and supporting and mounting rollers, conveyor belts, and auxiliary shafts. The conveyor belt directly carries the goods, which are then moved horizontally by the rollers to achieve automatic output. The rollers support the conveyor belt and enable its rotation. The design, with the middle layer running through both ends and the upper and lower layers running through one end, facilitates the transmission coordination between different levels and optimizes space utilization. Anti-slip pads are provided on the surface to prevent the goods from sliding during transport.

[0014] As an improvement, several of the auxiliary shafts are mounted on the frame in a group and rotate evenly, and anti-slip pads are provided on the conveyor belt and the auxiliary shafts respectively.

[0015] The auxiliary shaft facilitates the movement of goods and works in conjunction with the conveyor belt to assist in the handling of goods. The surface is equipped with anti-slip pads to further ensure the smooth movement of goods during loading and unloading.

[0016] As an improvement, the rollers of the middle layer are respectively installed through the storage rack body at both ends, and the rollers of the upper and lower layers are respectively installed through the storage rack body at one end.

[0017] As an improvement, the loading and unloading mechanism also includes multiple synchronous pulleys, a pair of synchronous belts, and a first drive motor;

[0018] Multiple synchronous pulleys are respectively mounted on the roller shaft, and a pair of synchronous belts are respectively sleeved on a pair of synchronous pulleys. The first drive motor is fixedly mounted on the storage rack body and is connected to one side of the roller shaft.

[0019] The arrangement of the synchronous pulley, synchronous belt, and first drive motor facilitates their coordination, thus ensuring precise power transmission and consistency in loading and unloading operations.

[0020] As an improvement, the water collection chamber is located between the storage rack bodies, and multiple atomizing nozzles are installed on the water collection chamber. The reciprocating threaded rod is rotatably installed in the storage rack body, and the limiting rod is fixedly installed in the storage rack body.

[0021] The water collection tank facilitates the storage and distribution of water. Its sliding design, combined with atomizing nozzles, enables uniform watering of agricultural products on all shelves. The atomizing nozzles generate a fine mist that covers the surface of agricultural products more evenly, improving moisturizing efficiency and preventing damage from large water droplets. The reciprocating threaded rod facilitates the reciprocating linear motion of the water collection tank, expanding the spray coverage and ensuring thorough moisturizing.

[0022] As an improvement, the water collection tank is slidably mounted on the reciprocating threaded rod and the limiting rod, and the storage rack body is provided with a groove that matches the water collection tank.

[0023] The limit rod is used to restrict the movement trajectory of the water collection tank. Together with the reciprocating threaded rod, it ensures the stability and straightness of the water collection tank during the sliding process.

[0024] As an improvement, the spraying mechanism also includes a water tank, a water pump, a telescopic pipe, and a second drive motor;

[0025] The water tank is fixedly installed on the storage rack body, and the water pump is installed on the water tank.

[0026] As an improvement, the water pump is installed through the water tank, the telescopic pipe is installed between the water collection tank and the water pump, and the second drive motor is fixedly installed on the storage rack body.

[0027] As an improvement, the second drive motor is connected to a reciprocating threaded rod, and the storage rack body is provided with a control panel, which is electrically connected to the first drive motor, the water pump, and the second drive motor.

[0028] The telescopic pipes, typically automatic telescopic "magic water pipes," adapt to the changing position of the water collection tank during reciprocating motion, ensuring a continuous and stable water supply during movement. The control panel serves as the "brain" of the entire system, centrally controlling loading, unloading, and spraying functions. It is easy to operate and enables intelligent management of the racking system.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By integrating an automatic spraying mechanism and an automatic loading and unloading mechanism, it effectively solves two major problems in the transportation of agricultural products. On the one hand, its spraying system can evenly and continuously moisturize fruits and vegetables through the reciprocating water collection tank and atomizing nozzles, preventing them from losing water and wilting, and avoiding the inaccuracies of manual watering. On the other hand, its loading and unloading mechanism, composed of a conveyor belt and rollers, combined with an anti-slip design, can automatically transport goods from deep within the shelves to the front, greatly reducing the intensity of manual labor, avoiding damage to goods caused by leaning over to pick up goods, and significantly improving logistics efficiency and preservation effect.

[0035] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a storage rack for transporting agricultural products is characterized by comprising: a storage rack body 1, a loading and unloading mechanism 2, and a spraying mechanism 3; the loading and unloading mechanism 2 and the spraying mechanism 3 are respectively installed on the storage rack body 1; the loading and unloading mechanism 2 includes multiple frames 201, multiple rollers 202, multiple conveyor belts 203, and multiple auxiliary shafts 204; the spraying mechanism 3 includes a water collection tank 301, multiple atomizing nozzles 302, a reciprocating threaded rod 303, and a limiting rod 304.

[0037] Among them, the loading and unloading mechanism 2 solves the problem of difficulty in retrieving goods from deep shelves in traditional shelves and the need for manual leaning to move them, which greatly reduces labor intensity, improves logistics operation efficiency, and reduces the damage to goods caused by collisions and squeezing due to limited space for manual operation; while the spraying mechanism 3 solves the problem of agricultural products, especially fruits and vegetables, wilting due to strong respiration and transpiration during transportation. It maintains appropriate humidity through automatic spraying, prevents rotting, and improves the preservation effect.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, multiple frames 201 are fixedly installed on the storage rack body 1, and several rollers 202 are uniformly rotated and installed on the frames 201 in groups. Multiple conveyor belts 203 are respectively sleeved on a group of rollers 202.

[0039] In addition, the frame 201 forms a planar structure for conveying goods, ensuring the stability of the conveying components and supporting and installing the roller 202, conveyor belt 203, and auxiliary shaft 204. The conveyor belt 203 directly carries the goods, which are moved horizontally by the roller 202 to achieve automatic output. The roller 202 supports the conveyor belt 203 and enables its rotation. The design of the middle layer passing through both ends and the upper and lower layers passing through one end facilitates the transmission coordination of different levels and space utilization. The surface is provided with anti-slip pads to prevent the goods from sliding during the conveying process.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, several auxiliary shafts 204 are uniformly rotated and installed on the frame 201, and anti-slip pads are provided on the conveyor belt 203 and the auxiliary shafts 204 respectively.

[0041] Secondly, the auxiliary shaft 204 facilitates the movement of goods and works in conjunction with the conveyor belt 203 to assist in the handling of goods. The surface is equipped with anti-slip pads to further ensure the smooth movement of goods during loading and unloading.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the middle layer roller 202 has both ends penetrating the storage rack body 1, and the upper and lower layer rollers 202 each have one end penetrating the storage rack body 1. The loading and unloading mechanism 2 also includes multiple synchronous pulleys 205, a pair of synchronous belts 206, and a first drive motor 207; the multiple synchronous pulleys 205 are respectively mounted on the roller 202, the pair of synchronous belts 206 are respectively sleeved on the pair of synchronous pulleys 205, and the first drive motor 207 is fixedly mounted on the storage rack body 1 and connected to one side of the roller 202.

[0043] In addition, the arrangement of the synchronous pulley 205, the synchronous belt 206 and the first drive motor 207 facilitates their cooperation, thus ensuring precise power transmission and consistency of loading and unloading actions.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the water collection tank 301 is located between the storage rack bodies 1. Multiple atomizing nozzles 302 are installed on the water collection tank 301. The reciprocating threaded rod 303 is rotatably installed inside the storage rack body 1, and the limiting rod 304 is fixedly installed inside the storage rack body 1.

[0045] In other words, the water collection tank 301 facilitates the storage and distribution of water, and through its sliding design in conjunction with the atomizing nozzle 302, it enables uniform watering of agricultural products on each shelf. The atomizing nozzle 302 is designed to generate a fine water mist, which can more evenly cover the surface of agricultural products, improve moisturizing efficiency, and avoid damage caused by large water droplets. The reciprocating threaded rod 303 facilitates the reciprocating linear motion of the water collection tank, expanding the spray coverage area and ensuring moisturizing without dead angles.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the water collection tank 301 is slidably mounted on the reciprocating threaded rod 303 and the limiting rod 304, and the storage rack body 1 has a groove that matches the water collection tank 301.

[0047] In addition, the limit rod 304 is set to limit the movement trajectory of the water collection tank 301, and together with the reciprocating threaded rod 303, ensures the stability and straightness of the water collection tank during the sliding process.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the spraying mechanism 3 also includes a water tank 305, a water pump 306, a telescopic pipe 307, and a second drive motor 308. The water tank 305 is fixedly installed on the storage rack body 1, and the water pump 306 is installed on the water tank 305. The water pump 306 passes through the water tank 305. The telescopic pipe 307 is installed between the water collection chamber 301 and the water pump 306. The second drive motor 308 is fixedly installed on the storage rack body 1. The second drive motor 308 is connected to a reciprocating threaded rod 303. The storage rack body 1 is provided with a control panel, which is electrically connected to the first drive motor 207, the water pump 306, and the second drive motor 308.

[0049] Finally, the telescopic pipe 307 is usually an automatically telescopic "magic water pipe" that adapts to the positional changes of the water collection tank 301 during reciprocating motion, ensuring a continuous and stable water supply during movement; the control panel serves as the "brain" of the entire system, centrally controlling loading, unloading, and spraying functions, making operation simple and realizing intelligent management of the rack.

[0050] During implementation, if agricultural products require humidification and preservation during transportation, the water pump 306 can be started via the control panel. The water pump 306 will then draw water from the water tank 305. Since the telescopic pipe 307 is a conventionally designed automatically telescopic "magic water pipe," it extends during water extraction, allowing water to flow into the water collection chamber 301. The water is then atomized and sprayed through the atomizing nozzle 302. Simultaneously, starting the second drive motor 308 rotates the reciprocating threaded rod 303, causing the water collection chamber 301 to reciprocate linearly. This achieves the effect of evenly spraying water onto the agricultural products on the storage rack body 1. Subsequently, the storage rack... When unloading agricultural products from the main body 1, the rotation of the first drive motor 207 needs to be controlled via the control panel. The slow rotation of the first drive motor 207 will drive the synchronous pulley 205 and the synchronous belt 206 to move together. Therefore, with the cooperation of the conveyor belt 203 and the protective pad, the agricultural products on the frame 201 will move forward together. Then the operation of the first drive motor 207 can be stopped. With the assistance of the auxiliary shaft 204, the agricultural products can be smoothly transported down. When unloading deeper agricultural products, the operation of the first drive motor 207 can be repeated to move the deeper agricultural products to a position where they can be easily transported down.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
