Both ends of the roller are movably connected through the side wall of the storage groove. An elastic membrane is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage slot. The other end of the elastic membrane is fixedly connected to the roller and wound around the surface of the roller. The elastic membrane has a two-layer hollow design. An installation tube is provided between the two layers of elastic membrane, and the installation tube is equipped with a quick-release mechanism. The side wall of the box is provided with an air cavity, and the side wall of the air cavity is provided with a number of mounting holes. The mounting tube passes through the mounting holes and is installed on the box through a quick-release mechanism. The surface of the mounting tube is provided with through holes. An inflation valve is installed at the bottom of the box.
[0004] The quick-release mechanism includes a positioning block, which is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting tube. A positioning groove is provided on the side wall of the mounting hole. A rubber sheet is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting tube, and the rubber sheet is annular.
[0005] The positioning mechanism includes mounting strips, and there are two sets of mounting strips. Each set has two mounting strips, which are symmetrically designed and fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the box. The tray surface is slidably connected to a guide plate by a spring, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide plate. The mounting strip surface has a locking groove relative to the locking block.
[0006] The tray is made of plastic and has a hollow interior. A reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the egg slot. An extrusion plate is slidably connected to the surface of the reinforcing rod via a spring. The extrusion plate is arc-shaped and has a rubber pad fixedly connected to its surface.
[0007] A top rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tray, and a telescopic rod is slidably connected to the surface of the top rod. A fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the surface of the telescopic rod, and the other end of the fixing bolt passes through the top rod for slidable connection. A positioning groove is provided on the surface of the tray relative to the position of the telescopic rod.

[0019] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-8As shown, a storage box for transporting poultry eggs includes a box body 3 and a box lid 1, wherein the box lid 1 is fastened to the box body 3 by a locking buckle; Tray 8, multiple trays 8 are provided, and a positioning mechanism is provided on the surface. All trays 8 are installed in the box 3 through the positioning mechanism. Several egg slots 18 are opened on the surface of the tray 8. The surface of the tray 8 is provided with a storage groove 16, and a roller 20 is provided in the storage groove 16. Both ends of the roller 20 are movably connected through the side wall of the storage groove 16. An elastic membrane 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage groove 16. The other end of the elastic membrane 15 is fixedly connected to the roller 20 and wound around the surface of the roller 20. The elastic membrane 15 has a two-layer hollow design. An installation tube 35 is provided between the two layers of elastic membrane 15, and a quick-release mechanism is provided on the installation tube 35. The side wall of the housing 3 is provided with an air chamber 27, and the side wall of the air chamber 27 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 7. The mounting tube 35 passes through the mounting holes 7 and is installed on the housing 3 through a quick-release mechanism. The surface of the mounting tube 35 is provided with through holes. The bottom of the box 3 is equipped with an air valve, which is a one-way valve. A base block 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the box body 3, a card slot is provided on the surface of the box cover 1 relative to the base, and a transparent observation window is provided on the surface of the box body 3. A top rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tray 8. A telescopic rod 23 is slidably connected to the surface of the top rod 9. A fixing bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the surface of the telescopic rod 23. The other end of the fixing bolt 11 passes through the top rod 9 and is slidably connected. A positioning groove 31 is opened on the surface of the tray 8 relative to the telescopic rod 23. A gear 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the roller 20. A rack 22 is fixedly connected to the position through which the roller 20 passes on the surface of the tray 8. The gear 21 and the rack 22 mesh. The tray 8 is made of plastic and has a hollow interior. A reinforcing rod 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the egg groove 18. An extrusion plate 17 is slidably connected to the surface of the reinforcing rod 25 via a spring. The extrusion plate 17 is arc-shaped and has a rubber pad fixedly connected to its surface. During operation, first slide slider 19, which drives roller 20 to move. Simultaneously, under the meshing action of gear 21, roller 20 rotates as it moves, unwinding elastic membrane 15. When roller 20 reaches its limit position, elastic membrane 15 is fully unfolded in storage slot 16. Then, release the buckle and remove lid 1. Place tray 8 filled with eggs into box 3 (at least two trays 8 are required for installation). Once in the appropriate position, fix it using positioning mechanism. Then install the next tray 8. After all trays 8 are installed, insert mounting tube 35 into mounting hole 7, connecting the hollow part of elastic membrane 15 to the air chamber. When 27 is connected, an external air pump is connected to the inflation valve to inflate the air chamber 27. The elastic membrane 15 expands as the gas rushes in, filling the gaps between the trays 8. Through the design of the elastic membrane 15, in conjunction with the mounting hole 7 and the mounting tube 35, the elastic membrane 15 is spread out and inflated. While filling the gaps, it also exerts a certain pressure on the eggs, fixing them in place. This effectively prevents the eggs from shaking and colliding inside the egg tray due to road bumps or vibrations during loading and unloading, which could lead to eggshell breakage and yolk scattering. Furthermore, the plastic tray 8 has higher strength, is less prone to deformation and damage, and is easy to recycle with a high reuse rate, effectively reducing the loss rate during transportation and storage. At least three extrusion plates 17 are arranged around the circumference of the egg tray 18, which are set on one side of the egg tray 18. When an egg is placed in the egg tray 18, the egg will squeeze the surrounding extrusion plates 17, causing the extrusion plates 17 to move away from each other and squeeze the spring. The spring and the extrusion plates 17 can be used to position eggs of different sizes. In addition, the elastic membrane 15 can be used to achieve a better fixing effect. Finally, for larger eggs, the length of the telescopic rod 23 can be adjusted by turning the fixing bolt 11, so as to accommodate poultry eggs of different sizes (larger goose eggs, smaller free-range eggs, etc.) and prevent them from being crushed, thus making the storage box more widely applicable. By using the reinforcing rod 25 in conjunction with the top rod 9 and the telescopic rod 23, the hollowed-out tray 8 can be prevented from being squeezed and deformed, ensuring that the tray 8 is lightweight while also having a certain degree of pressure resistance.
[0021] The quick-release mechanism includes a positioning block 33, which is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting tube 35. The mounting hole 7 has a positioning groove 31 on its side wall. A rubber sheet 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting tube 35. The rubber sheet 36 is annular. During operation, while inserting the mounting tube 35 into the mounting hole 7, rotate the mounting tube 35. Because the mounting tube 35 is soft, it will cause the positioning block 33 on its surface to rotate and be inserted into the positioning groove 31. At the same time, the rubber sheet 36 will adhere to the surface of the mounting hole 7. The mounting tube 35 is fixed by the force generated by the spring compression on one side of the plug 26, which prevents it from falling off and further ensures the sealing effect and slows down the rate of air leakage.
[0022] The positioning mechanism includes an installation strip 2, which is provided in two sets. Each set of installation strips 2 has two strips, which are symmetrically designed and fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the box 3. The surface of the tray 8 is slidably connected to a guide plate 12 by a spring. A locking block 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide plate 12. A locking groove is provided on the surface of the installation strip 2 relative to the locking block 13. During operation, the tray 8 slides downwards, causing the beveled edges of the mounting strip 2 to press against the surfaces of the locking blocks 13 on both sides of the tray 8, causing the locking blocks 13 to move closer to each other. Then, the tray 8 continues to move downwards until it is in the appropriate position. After releasing the tray 8, it is limited and then fixed with the top rod 9. The positioning mechanism increases the feel of the operator during installation by sliding the tray 8 and also fixes the installation angle of the tray 8, making it easier for the telescopic rod 23 to be locked in the positioning groove 31.
[0023] The roller 20 is fixedly connected to a slider 19 at one end of the storage groove 16, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 19. During operation, the operator can move the roller 20 by pressing the slider 19 with two fingers at the same time. At the same time, the roller 20 is moved by the slider 19. In conjunction with the gear 21 and the rack 22, the elastic membrane 15 is distributed. The anti-slip pad can increase the friction between the operator's fingers and the slider 19, thereby preventing slippage.
[0024] Multiple mounting holes 7 are provided, and a plug 26 is slidably connected to the surface of the air chamber 27 at a position corresponding to each mounting hole 7 via a spring. The top of the plug 26 is arc-shaped and made of rubber. During operation, multiple mounting holes 7 can be used to install different numbers of trays 8. For unused mounting holes 7, when air is filled in by the air valve, the resulting air pressure will make the plug 26 firmly adhere to the side wall of the mounting hole 7, reducing the occurrence of air leakage. When using this mounting hole 7, the mounting tube 35 is directly inserted into the mounting hole 7, and the mounting tube 35 pushes out the plug 26. At this time, the gas flows into the elastic membrane 15 through the through hole on the surface of the mounting tube 35, causing the elastic membrane 15 to inflate.
[0025] Example 2 Please see Figure 9As shown in the comparison with Embodiment 1, as another embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the box 3 is provided with multiple sets of waist-shaped holes 37, and each set of waist-shaped holes 37 is provided with two holes, and each pair of waist-shaped holes 37 are respectively arranged on both sides of the box 3. During operation, the design of multiple sets of waist-shaped holes 37 facilitates handling when stacking. When stacking more than two, the worker can use the first waist-shaped hole 37 for leverage to move the stack. When moving a single stack, the worker can use the last waist-shaped hole 37 to move the stack directly, preventing the edges of the box 3 from rubbing against the worker's legs. At the same time, the waist-shaped holes 37 allow for air convection within the box 3, ensuring air circulation within the box 3.
