[0042] In a specific implementation, the fan 8 is used to ventilate the storage room 12. It should be noted that, in the prior art, the ventilation work of the storage room 12 is usually performed when the external temperature is relatively low.

[0043] Working principle of the present invention: When the present invention is used, first, by placing the picked apples into a container for collecting apples, and then placing the apples into the precooling chamber 11 for precooling, it is helpful to reduce the breathing rate of the apples, and it is also helpful to reduce the refrigeration load in the storage chamber 12, thereby helping to avoid the evaporator 9 from working at a high load. When the evaporator 9 is working at a high load, especially when the outside temperature is low, the evaporator 9 will be frosted when working at a high load, affecting the normal operation of the evaporator 9, thereby reducing the refrigeration effect on the storage chamber 12 and affecting the storage quality of the apples. By precooling, the probability of frosting of the evaporator 9 can be reduced, and the quality of apple storage can be improved.

[0044] It should be noted that the evaporator 9 is a component used in the refrigeration system and is a very important component among the four major refrigeration components. The low-temperature condensed liquid passes through the evaporator 9 to exchange heat with the outside air, gasify and absorb heat, and achieve the refrigeration effect. Its connection with other refrigeration components is a prior art. The storage room 12 in the present invention is a cold storage, and the evaporator 9 is a type of refrigeration component of the cold storage. Other components of the refrigeration component are prior art and will not be disclosed in detail here. The container for holding apples is specifically a breathable basket.

[0045] After precooling the apples, the second door panel 10 is opened and the apples are then placed in the storage chamber 12. The storage chamber 12 is used to effectively store the apples. During the storage of the apples, the apples need to be ventilated on the one hand and effectively cooled on the other hand to prevent the apples from deteriorating due to respiration.

[0046] By turning on the fan 8, the fan 8 draws air from the outside atmosphere, and then enters the first air cavity 18 through the air inlet duct 19. After the airflow enters the first air cavity 18, it will be blown into the storage chamber 12 through the air vents opened at the top of the first air cavity 18, so as to ventilate the storage chamber 12. Secondly, the flow of airflow can also promote the temperature of each position in the storage chamber 12 to tend to balance. The airflow flows from bottom to top. When the airflow blows through the container containing apples, it will blow on the apples inside. Through the flow of airflow, the ethylene emitted from the surface of the apples can also be blown upward. Since the relative mass of ethylene is lower than that of air, ethylene has a tendency to float upward. Through the flow of airflow, the upward flow of ethylene can be further promoted, thereby reducing the residence time of ethylene in the storage chamber 12, which is conducive to preventing the apples in the storage chamber 12 from being ripened by ethylene and then quickly deteriorating. It plays a certain role in promoting the storage of apples, so that the apples can be stored for a longer time.

[0047] As the airflow flows, the gas in the storage chamber 12 will enter the air outlet chamber 29 through the guide hole at the bottom of the air outlet chamber 29, and the ethylene will be collected by the activated carbon plate 28 set at the top of the air outlet chamber 29 to reduce the ethylene content in the airflow. The airflow then enters the built-in air outlet pipe 33 through the air duct 13, and then is filtered twice by the activated carbon box 35 to further absorb and filter the ethylene in the airflow, which is conducive to further reducing the ethylene content in the airflow. Finally, the airflow enters the second air cavity 20, and enters the precooling chamber 11 through the air vents at the top of the second air cavity 20. Through the flow of airflow, part of the cold air in the storage chamber 12 can be taken out. When there are apples in the precooling chamber 11 for precooling, by taking out the cold air in the storage chamber 12, the cooling of the apples in the precooling chamber 11 can be further accelerated, which is conducive to shortening the time required for apple precooling.

[0048] In addition, the airflow also flows from bottom to top in the precooling chamber 11. When the airflow blows on the apples in the precooling chamber 11, the ethylene emitted from the surface of the apples in the precooling chamber 11 can be blown upward, thereby reducing the ethylene content of the apples in the precooling chamber 11. The airflow passing through the storage chamber 12 and the precooling chamber 11 can have a double dispersing effect on ethylene, thereby reducing the amount of ethylene emitted by the apples, thereby preventing the apples from ripening quickly due to excessive ethylene emission, thereby extending the storage time of the apples by extending the ripening time of the apples.

[0049] After passing through the pre-cooling chamber 11, the airflow will enter the connecting air duct 30 through the built-in exhaust duct 34 at the top of the pre-cooling chamber 11, then enter the horizontal connecting pipe 36 through the connecting air duct 30, and then enter the exhaust air cavity 31, and finally blow on the billboard 5 through the air outlet nozzle at the bottom of the exhaust air cavity 31. Through the setting of the billboard 5, relevant promotional advertisements about apples can be printed on the billboard 5. When customers go to the location of the warehouse 1, the billboard 5 can be used to introduce the apples, which is conducive to customers to understand the apples in the warehouse 1 simply and clearly. For apples in multiple warehouses 1, the specific model and quality size of the apples stored in the warehouse 1 can also be marked on the billboard 5, which is conducive to directly classifying the apples in the warehouse 1.

[0050] When apples are marked or introduced by means of the billboard 5 , there is a certain risk of dust falling on the billboard 5 . By blowing air onto the billboard 5 through the air outlet nozzle, the dust on the billboard 5 can be blown off to a certain extent, which helps to avoid dust falling on the billboard 5 . By respectively arranging the billboards 5 on both sides of the warehouse 1 , the billboards 5 can be blocked on both sides of the warehouse 1 , which helps to avoid the cold air in the storage room 12 inside the warehouse 1 from leaking through the two sides of the warehouse 1 , thereby having a certain cooling effect on the storage room 12 .

[0051] By setting the first water pump 14, firstly, the first water pump 14 is connected to the U-shaped tube 6 through the electromagnetic three-way valve 15, and then the first water pump 14 is started, and water is drawn from the water tank 24 by the first water pump 14, and then transported to the U-shaped tube 6, and then the water is transported to the two output water chambers 32 through the guidance of the U-shaped tube 6, and then flushed on the billboard 5 through the inclined water outlet at the bottom of the output water chamber 32. By adding water flow to the billboard 5, on the one hand, the water flow can be used to flush the billboard 5 and reduce the dust on the billboard 5. On the other hand, by adding the "flowing water" effect on the surface of the billboard 5, it can play an eye-catching effect, which is conducive to improving the eye-catching degree of the billboard 5 and improving the publicity effect of the billboard 5.

[0052] Secondly, the flow of water can also cool the billboard 5, which is conducive to reducing the temperature of the billboard 5, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the billboard 5 and the storage room 12, and preventing the loss of cold air in the storage room 12 due to the large temperature difference between the billboard 5 and the storage room 12. By reducing the loss of cold air in the storage room 12, it is conducive to preventing the evaporator 9 from working at a high load due to the large loss of heat in the storage room 12, thereby preventing the evaporator 9 from frosting due to high-load work. The airflow blown on the billboard 5 by the air outlet nozzle can accelerate the evaporation of the water flow, and evaporation absorbs heat, which can further reduce the temperature of the billboard 5, thereby further reducing the temperature difference between the storage room 12 and the billboard 5. At the same time, the flow of air will also make the temperature around the warehouse 1 cooler.

[0053] After the water flows over the billboard 5, it will fall into the groove 7, and then flow back to the water tank 24 through the filter screen 16 at the bottom side of the groove 7. The circulation of water is helpful to ensure the oxygen content in the water, and the flowing water can prevent the water in the water tank 24 from becoming smelly, which is helpful to ensure the quality of the water in the water tank 24.

[0054] When frost occurs on the evaporator 9, the second water pump 17 is turned on. After the second water pump 17 is turned on, water is drawn from the water tank 24, and then flushed on the evaporator 9 through the water outlet pipe 23, which is conducive to defrosting the evaporator 9 and avoiding the situation where the working efficiency of the evaporator 9 is reduced due to frosting. The water flowing out of the water outlet pipe 23 will fall into the rectangular groove after flushing on the evaporator 9, and then flow back to one of the grooves 7 through the built-in drainage guide groove set at the bottom of the rectangular groove, and finally flow back to the water tank 24 through the filter screen 16.

[0055] As the storage time of apples goes by, impurities or dust will fall into the first air chamber 18 and the second air chamber 20. At this time, the output end of the first water pump 14 is connected to the transverse groove 25 through the electromagnetic three-way valve 15, and then the first plate valve 22 and the second plate valve 21 are opened. By opening the first water pump 14, the first water pump 14 supplies water to the transverse groove 25. After the water flows into the transverse groove 25, it will flow out through the first nozzle 26 and the second nozzle 27, thereby flushing the first air chamber 18 and the second air chamber 20, and then discharged through the first plate valve 22 and the second plate valve 21.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions only describe the principles of the present invention. The present invention may be subject to various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
