Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a protective kit for transporting fresh flowers. Background Technology

[0002] Flower delivery is a newly emerging industry that arose after flower delivery and traditional courier services. Similar to traditional courier services, it primarily focuses on delivering flowers. Flower delivery differs from general courier services because flowers are greatly affected by external factors such as temperature, impact, and compression, requiring special transportation conditions. Flower delivery is simple and easy to operate; customers only need to submit an order online or by phone, providing a precise delivery address, and then pay via bank transfer for delivery to all areas nationwide. However, prices are higher than at regular florists, with even higher costs for deliveries to remote suburban areas. In the era of rapid e-commerce expansion, online pricing extends beyond clothing, home goods, and small accessories to include services like same-city and nationwide express delivery of flowers and cakes. Fresh items can also be ordered online. Instead of using courier companies, we have our own dedicated delivery personnel who undergo rigorous training, emphasizing service etiquette and quality, aiming to bring a better experience to flower recipients. Intra-city flower transportation generally uses water-retaining transportation. This involves packaging the flowers in bunches, standing them upright in a trapezoidal plastic container (commonly known in the industry as a "square drawer") filled with a special preservative solution, and then loading them in layers into a large refrigerated truck. Many florists in China use refrigerated display cases to preserve flowers, as these provide suitable temperature and humidity, keeping the flowers in a dormant state. Other commonly used preservation methods include: Method 1: Cutting and Enlarging the Base of Woody Flowers. This involves obliquely cutting or splitting the base of the flower stem, or cracking it with a heavy object to increase the surface area for water absorption. Method 2: Hot Water Soaking. Immersing the base of herbaceous flowers in 80℃ water for about 30 seconds helps with water absorption, sterilization, and preservation. Method 3: Beer Preservation. Adding a small amount of beer to the water used for flower arranging can prolong the blooming period. Method 4 for preserving fresh flowers: Chemical preservation method. Adding a 1 / 3000 aspirin solution or a 1 / 2000 potassium permanganate solution to the vase can extend the flowering period by about one week. Method 5 for preserving fresh flowers: Tea water flower arrangement method. Inserting rootless fresh flowers into strong, cold tea water will generally prevent them from wilting for up to one week.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 A detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention will be provided.

[0021] Example: A protective kit for transporting fresh flowers, its main components include: a pump base 1, a spray bottle base a2, a spray bottle base b3, a diaphragm pump 4, a heating module 5, a spray bottle a6, a spray bottle b7, a nozzle 8, a buckle 9, a water inlet pipe 10, a drain valve 11, a spare valve port 12, an inspection port 13, a support plate frame 14, a gate plate 15, a spring plate frame 16, a tubular motor 17, and a telescopic rod 18. The diaphragm pump 4 is fixed under the pump base 1, and the heating module 5 is fixed on the pump base 1. The pump base 1 has a cavity that communicates with the inner liner of the heating module 5. The cavity has openings on both the left and right sides. The pump base 1 has an inspection port 13 on its side. Gate plates 15 are fixed to the slots on both sides of the cavity; both ends of the gate plates 15 are clamped and fixed by spring plate frames 16; a support frame 14 is sleeved on the spring plate frame 16; telescopic rods 18 are transversely connected to the upper and lower ends of the gate plates 15, and both ends of the telescopic rods 18 are connected to and driven to extend and retract by tubular motors 17; the two ends of the telescopic rods 18 do not engage with the recesses provided on the inner wall of the support frame 14. The left side of the pump body base 1 is fixed to the spray bottle base a2 via a gate plate 15; a spray bottle a6 is fixed to the spray bottle base a2 via a buckle 9, and a nozzle 8 is screwed onto the top of the spray bottle a6; the right side of the pump body base 1 is fixed to the spray bottle base b3 via a gate plate 15; a spray bottle b7 is fixed to the spray bottle base b3 via a buckle 9. A drain valve 11 is provided at the center of the bottom of the spray bottle base b3, and the drain valve 11 is connected to the spray bottle b7; a spare valve port 12 is connected to the side of the drain valve 11; a water inlet pipe 10 is provided on the side of the spray bottle base b3; the water inlet pipe 10 is connected to the spray bottle b7. The outlet port of the diaphragm pump 4 is connected to the spray bottle a6 via a conduit.

[0022] The telescopic rod 18 has a telescopic range of 12-25 centimeters.

[0023] The support frame 14 is provided with a magnetic sheet or adhesive tape on the front.

[0024] The heating module 5 has a heating power of 200-700 watts.

[0025] The pressure range of the diaphragm pump 4 is 1.2-2.5 MPa.

[0026] The nozzle 8 emits mist with a temperature range of 30-45 degrees Celsius.

[0027] The spray bottle a6 contains a preservative.

[0028] The nozzle 8 is equipped with a spray volume adjustment switch, and the controllable spray range is 0.7-1.2 liters / hour.

[0029] The spray bottle b7 has a spray grille on its side, and the spray grille is equipped with an on / off valve. The spray range of the spray grille is 1.1-2.7 liters / hour.

[0030] The core of this invention lies in the working assembly of spray bottles a6 and b7. In the design, spray bottle a6 has a nozzle 8 on its top, which is pressurized by the gas input from the diaphragm pump 4. Therefore, the nozzle 8 can spray a fine mist with a long spray distance. Since spray bottle a6 contains a preservative, the sprayed mist will disperse into the air along with the preservative. Furthermore, the heating module 5 can heat the liquid entering through the water inlet pipe 10, and since the pump base 1 has gates 15 on both sides, it can regulate the flow rate of the liquid. The liquid flows sequentially from the water inlet pipe 10 through: spray bottle base b3, pump base 1 (the pump base 1 is connected to the heating module 5, during which the liquid in the pump base 1 is heated), spray bottle base a2, and spray bottle a6. Therefore, the liquid in spray bottle a6 is warm.

[0031] In the design, the spray bottle b7 is intended for use in a wide range of conditions and under suitable outdoor temperatures.

[0032] In terms of the design structure, since the two ends of the telescopic rod 18 are connected and driven to extend and retract by the tubular motor 17, the support frame 14 can be stretched horizontally within a certain length range and can be fixed to the inner wall of the flower transport vehicle.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
