Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fresh produce packaging technology, and in particular to a fresh produce shipping packaging box. Background Technology

[0002] Shipping refers to the transportation of people or goods via waterways and air. Generally, water transport takes longer but is much cheaper, which is unmatched by air or land transport. Water transport can carry a large amount of cargo per voyage, while air and land transport can carry relatively smaller loads per trip. Therefore, water transport is a more common mode of transport in international trade.

[0003] Cargo requiring special measures (refrigeration, insulation, heating, etc.) during shipping to prevent spoilage, disease, or death is considered perishable cargo. Perishable cargo is divided into two main categories: perishable goods and live animals, with perishable goods accounting for the largest proportion. Perishable goods refer to goods that are highly susceptible to spoilage and deterioration under normal storage and transportation conditions due to external temperature and humidity. Perishable goods mainly include: meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and chilled live plants.

[0004] Existing packaging boxes used for fresh produce typically involve stacking the produce inside the box during transport, requiring the box to be filled with numerous ice packs to maintain a low temperature. However, during shipping, the transit time is long, and weather conditions can change over time. This causes the fresh produce and ice packs inside the box to melt to some extent. The resulting liquid can cause the stacked produce to stick together, and the wastewater can remain on the surface of the produce during transport, potentially contaminating it and affecting its transport quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a fresh produce shipping packaging box.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a fresh produce shipping packaging box, comprising a box body, wherein the inner cavity of the box body is provided with arranged partitions, each partition consisting of a placement plate capable of carrying fresh produce, a diversion plate arranged in a figure-eight structure at both ends of the placement plate, a support foot at the bottom of the diversion plate, and a pair of limiting plates on the placement plate. When the partitions are stacked sequentially from bottom to top, the fresh produce is placed in the interlayer space formed by the placement plates arranged from top to bottom, and the pair of limiting plates on the placement plate are located on both sides of the fresh produce in the interlayer space.

[0007] It also includes a first sieve plate located inside two adjacent separator racks. Both ends of the first sieve plate are fixed to the adjacent flow guide plate, connecting the separator racks on the same horizontal plane. When the separator racks are stacked from bottom to top, fresh goods are placed on top of the first sieve plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a pair of limiting plates on the same placement plate are arranged in an inverted V-shape, and each limiting plate is provided with a water guiding channel.

[0009] Furthermore, a second sieve plate parallel to the first sieve plate is provided below each of the first sieve plates. Both ends of the second sieve plate are fixed to the adjacent support legs. An ice box is provided in the gap between the first sieve plate and the second sieve plate.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the limiting plates is provided with two support frames distributed in front and behind. When the partition frames are stacked and installed sequentially from bottom to top, the upper support leg is placed on the lower support frame.

[0011] A rotating block is connected inside the bearing frame via a rotating shaft. The end of the rotating block is provided with an outwardly protruding guide post. The rotating block is connected to the limiting plate via a pressure spring. When the rotating block rotates to its limit, it is parallel to the bearing frame. The support leg abuts against the connection between the guide post and the rotating block.

[0012] Furthermore, the box is equipped with a filter screen frame, and the filter screen frame is equipped with a pair of support plates, which abut against the inner bottom wall of the box.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple multi-channel brackets are fixed on the filter frame, the multi-channel brackets are located below the placement plate, and a certain gap is left between the multi-channel brackets and the filter frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the multi-channel bracket is provided with limiting posts at both the left and right ends. When the support leg is placed on the filter frame, the multi-channel bracket is engaged in the gap formed by the two support legs distributed from front to back, and the limiting posts abut against one side of the support leg.

[0015] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a water outlet that communicates with its inner side, and the water outlet is located at the gap formed by the filter screen frame and the bottom wall of the housing.

[0016] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. The present invention has multiple separate placement spaces inside the box for accommodating fresh goods. There are certain gaps between the multiple placement spaces. When the temperature inside the box decreases during shipping and the fresh goods gradually melt, it can prevent the stacked fresh goods from sticking together. During long-term shipping, it has a protective effect on the fresh goods and improves the freshness quality of the fresh goods during shipping.

[0018] 2. In this invention, the wastewater generated during the melting of fresh goods and the liquefaction of cold air inside the container can fall through the water guide channel. Since the diversion plate is tilted, the wastewater can be smoothly diverted and separated from the fresh goods, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of wastewater remaining on the surface of the fresh goods, improving the cleanliness of the fresh goods, eliminating the need for staff to treat the wastewater regularly, and making it more suitable for the shipping working environment of the container.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] refer to Figure 1-4 The fresh produce shipping packaging box shown includes a box body 1. The inner cavity of the box body 1 is provided with a series of partitions 2. Each partition 2 consists of a placement plate 21 that can hold fresh produce, a diversion plate 22 arranged in a figure-eight structure at both ends of the placement plate 21, a support leg 23 at the bottom of the diversion plate 22, and a pair of limiting plates 24 on the placement plate 21. When the partitions 2 are stacked from bottom to top, the fresh produce is placed in the interlayer space formed by the placement plates 21 arranged from top to bottom. The pair of limiting plates 24 on the placement plates 21 are located on both sides of the fresh produce in the interlayer space.

[0033] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a first sieve plate 3 located inside two adjacent separators 2. Both ends of the first sieve plate 3 are fixed to the adjacent diversion plate 22, connecting the separators 2 on the same horizontal plane. When the separators 2 are stacked from bottom to top, the fresh goods are placed above the first sieve plate 3.

[0034] Therefore, the interior of container 1 is divided into multiple separate storage spaces for fresh goods. These spaces are spaced apart to prevent the fresh goods from sticking together, even if the temperature inside container 1 decreases during transport and the fresh goods gradually thaw. After transport, it is easy for staff to remove the fresh goods from container 1. This design provides protection for the fresh goods during long-haul transport, improving their freshness and quality.

[0035] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a pair of limiting plates 24, arranged in an inverted V-shape, are placed on the same placement plate 21. When fresh goods are placed in the interlayer space formed by the placement plates 21 arranged from top to bottom, the goods come into contact with the surface of the limiting plates 24. Since each limiting plate 24 has a water guiding channel 241, the wastewater generated during the melting of fresh goods and the liquefaction of cold air inside the container 1 can fall through the water guiding channel 241. Because the diversion plate 22 is tilted, the wastewater can be smoothly diverted, separating the wastewater from the fresh goods, and falling through the first screen plate 3. This effectively avoids the phenomenon of wastewater remaining on the surface of the fresh goods, maintains the cleanliness of a large number of fresh goods inside the container, and eliminates the need for staff to check and treat the wastewater regularly. This is suitable for the shipping working environment of the container 1.

[0036] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a second sieve plate 4 parallel to the first sieve plate 3 is provided below each of them. Both ends of the second sieve plate 4 are fixed to the adjacent support legs 23. Ice boxes are provided in the gap between the first sieve plate 3 and the second sieve plate 4. This provides a certain cooling effect on the fresh goods inside the box 1. In the actual use of the box 1, the ice boxes and fresh goods are distributed in an alternating manner, and the ice boxes do not directly contact the fresh goods, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of fresh goods sticking to the surface of the ice boxes and thus causing damage to the fresh goods. It can carry out comprehensive and effective cooling of goods inside the box 1, delaying the phenomenon of the box 1 gradually heating up during long-term transportation.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure the accuracy of the partition frame 2 when it is stacked from bottom to top and to ensure that the partition frame 2 is in a regular state, the limiting plate 24 is provided with two support frames 242 distributed in front and behind. When the partition frame 2 is stacked from bottom to top, the upper support leg 23 is placed on the lower support frame 242. The support frame 242 can maintain the stability of the support leg 23 and further maintain the stability of the partition frame 2.

[0039] A rotating block 243 is connected to the support frame 242 via a pivot. The end of the rotating block 243 has an outwardly protruding guide post 244. The rotating block 243 is connected to the limiting plate 24 via a pressure spring 245. When the rotating block 243 rotates to its limit, it is parallel to the support frame 242, and the support leg 23 abuts against the connection between the guide post 244 and the rotating block 243. Under the elastic potential energy of the pressure spring 245, the guide post 244 can tightly abut against the support leg 23, effectively intercepting the support leg 23 and preventing the entire separator 2 from sliding laterally. When the box 1 is moved or pushed, it effectively prevents the separator 2 from shifting under external force, further maintaining the stability of fresh goods.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, to separate the wastewater generated during the melting of fresh goods and the liquefaction of cold air inside the container 1 from the fresh goods, a filter frame 5 is installed inside the container 1. The wastewater can pass through the filter frame 5 and fall to the bottom of the container 1. Fresh goods, due to their small size, fall with the wastewater after melting, but are separated by the filter frame 5, preventing the smaller fresh goods from falling to the bottom of the container 1 along with the wastewater. A pair of support plates 6 are provided on the filter frame 5, which abut against the inner bottom wall of the container 1. This creates a certain gap between the filter frame 5 and the inner bottom wall of the container 1 to accommodate the wastewater.

[0041] In actual use of the box 1, multiple multi-channel brackets 7 are fixed on the filter rack 5. The multi-channel brackets 7 are located below the placement plate 21. The fresh goods at the bottom are placed on the multi-channel brackets 7. There is a certain gap between the multi-channel brackets 7 and the filter rack 5 to prevent sewage from gradually accumulating and overflowing onto the filter rack 5, thus preventing contamination of the fresh goods at the bottom.

[0042] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, when the separator racks 2 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top, in order to maintain the stability of the bottom row of separator racks 2, limiting posts 71 are provided at both the left and right ends of the multi-channel bracket 7. When the support legs 23 are placed on the filter rack 5, the multi-channel bracket 7 is engaged in the gap formed by the two support legs 23 distributed from front to back, and the limiting posts 71 abut against one side of the support legs 23. This can prevent the bottom row of separator racks 2 from swaying laterally, further ensuring the stability of the multiple rows of separator racks 2 above it.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, in order to facilitate the drainage of wastewater accumulated inside the tank 1 and prevent bacterial growth caused by long-term stagnation of wastewater, thus enabling the tank 1 to be reused, a water outlet 8 is provided on the tank 1, which is connected to its inner side. The water outlet 8 is positioned directly opposite the gap formed by the filter frame 5 and the inner bottom wall of the tank 1. By tilting the tank 1, the wastewater inside can be discharged through the water outlet 8.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
