Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence fruit and vegetable picking boxes, and in particular to an intelligent self-propelled fruit and vegetable refrigeration picking box. Background Art

[0002] Cold chain transportation of fruits and vegetables can greatly increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. At present, vacuum pre-cooling technology, cold chain vehicle technology, and cold storage technology are quite mature and put into use. However, the time interval from the picking of fruits and vegetables to their transportation to cold chain vehicles or cold storage is generally more than 1-3 hours, or even longer. Most fruits and vegetables, especially rare fruits and vegetables, mature in summer and autumn, and the temperature is generally very high when they are picked. How to ensure that the fruits and vegetables are cooled to the refrigeration temperature as soon as they are picked until they are transported to cold chain vehicles or cold storage, and to minimize the collision damage between fruits and vegetables or between fruits and vegetables and the wall of the picking container during the picking of fruits and vegetables is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently, and the technology or equipment in this area is still in a blank stage.

[0003] The quality of picking fruits and vegetables in the field directly affects the quality of fruits and vegetables and the subsequent preservation effect. First of all, fruits and vegetables still have a high respiration intensity after harvesting. Especially when the temperature is high during the picking season, the picked fruits are easily prone to low moisture and nutrition due to high-intensity exhalation, which is not conducive to the subsequent preservation of fruits and vegetables. Secondly, the structure of the picking container has a great impact on the quality of fruits and vegetables, especially when harvesting some delicate fruits and vegetables such as wolfberries and blueberries. If the picking container lacks a fruit and vegetable buffer structure, such as when using a hard container for harvesting, the process of placing fruits and vegetables into the harvesting container will cause strong collisions and squeezing between the harvested fruits. In severe cases, it will cause damage to the skin of fruits and vegetables, resulting in further decline in the quality of fruits and vegetables, which is not conducive to subsequent preservation. Furthermore, when picking fruits and vegetables, transporting them to the field is a labor-intensive, high-intensity physical labor. In order to reduce labor intensity, the current traditional field transportation method is to use a wheeled cart for transportation. However, considering the uneven road surface and many roadblocks in the field, the transportation by the cart will inevitably cause collisions between the transported fruits and vegetables, which will increase the possibility of damage to the fruits and vegetables.

[0004] Semiconductor technology is a new type of refrigeration technology developed in the late 1950s. Semiconductor refrigeration, also known as thermoelectric refrigeration, electronic refrigeration or thermoelectric refrigeration, is a refrigeration method characterized by thermoelectric effect. It is composed of two main special semiconductor materials, P-type semiconductor material and N-type semiconductor material, which form NP junctions, form thermocouple pairs, and produce Peltier effect (when a DC current is passed through a closed loop composed of two different metals, one node will be hot and the other node will be cold), that is, a new type of refrigeration through DC refrigeration. Semiconductor refrigeration technology has the advantages of fast refrigeration speed, small size, easy to carry, no refrigerant, no pollution, no noise, easy maintenance, and long life. Semiconductor refrigeration technology has been widely used in medicine, agronomy, industry, and daily life. Generally, it is more used in some refrigeration equipment with small cooling capacity. For example, the existing invention patent "A smart and convenient box based on semiconductor refrigeration such as CN209777125U" has a small cooling power and a small volume, which is suitable for outdoor water sample collection. From the cooling power (inferred from the area of ​​the solar panel) to the design and function, it is not suitable for fruit and vegetable picking. Another example is the existing invention patent "Semiconductor Refrigeration Equipment CN209857420U". The semiconductor refrigeration and heat dissipation components of this technology are designed at the bottom of the equipment, and the cold air diffusion efficiency is low. This technology also has no temperature control system. This invention is not suitable for fruit and vegetable picking from the design to the function. At present, there is no feasible invention or report of a fruit and vegetable picking box using semiconductor refrigeration.

[0005] In addition, due to the characteristics of semiconductor refrigeration, if a high-power semiconductor refrigeration stack is used (such as larger than 20 x 20cm, composed of many semiconductor refrigeration chips in parallel), the weight of the battery and refrigeration components will be heavier, and the low-temperature picking box produced in this way will no longer be convenient for manual carrying. The larger semiconductor low-temperature picking box can avoid high-frequency back-and-forth transportation between the field and the cold chain vehicle, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of picking.
