Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gastrodia elata storage technology, specifically a smart preservation and storage device and method for fresh gastrodia elata. Background Technology

[0002] Fresh gastrodia elata is an agricultural product used for both food and medicine, and can be eaten fresh or processed for medicinal purposes. However, its tubers have a high water content and vigorous respiration. After harvesting, it is very easy for it to lose water and shrink, undergo enzymatic browning, physiological sprouting, and microbial infection and decay when placed in a normal temperature environment. As a result, the commercial grade and core effective components such as gastrodin are rapidly lost.

[0003] Ordinary commercial cold storage facilities can only achieve basic low-temperature control, which cannot accurately match the suitable storage humidity requirement of 85%-95% for Gastrodia elata. They also lack targeted sprout suppression and modified atmosphere preservation functions, and lack real-time quality status monitoring modules. Relying on manual inspection is inefficient and prone to errors. Small-scale primary processing in production areas and short-distance distribution links often use simple storage and transportation methods of ice packs and foam boxes, with a shelf life of only 7-15 days. This is far from meeting the preservation needs of cross-regional long-distance transportation and medium- and long-term warehousing. Existing general storage and transportation technologies cannot adapt to the quality control requirements of the entire storage and transportation chain of fresh Gastrodia elata.

[0004] However, common intelligent preservation and storage equipment for fresh Gastrodia elata has several defects. The internal placement structure cannot be flexibly adjusted and adapted according to the size of the individual fresh Gastrodia elata, resulting in poor versatility. There are no Gastrodia elata limiting components above the placement tank, making it easy for the Gastrodia elata to shake and roll during storage. The equipment lacks an internal air circulation system with adsorption and filtration functions, which cannot continuously purify the air inside the chamber. Overall, it is difficult to meet the operational requirements for long-term preservation and storage of fresh Gastrodia elata. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned issues of providing a flexible adjustable structure for placing Gastrodia elata to accommodate different sizes, adding limiting components to prevent it from rolling off, and using adsorption filtration to purify the air inside the chamber, thereby improving the preservation and storage effect of fresh Gastrodia elata. This invention provides an intelligent preservation and storage device and method for fresh Gastrodia elata.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A fresh gastrodia elata intelligent preservation and storage device includes a temperature control box. The temperature control box is equipped with multiple gastrodia elata limiting components. An isolation plate adjustment component is provided at the lower end of the gastrodia elata limiting components inside the temperature control box. A second circulation port is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the temperature control box. An internal circulation channel pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the second circulation port. An internal air filter component is provided on the side of the internal circulation channel pipe.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the Gastrodia elata limiting component includes a first sliding groove, a first sliding rod, a first sliding plate, an outer frame plate, a rubber breathable plate, a support rod, a first bolt, and a handle groove;

[0008] Multiple first slide grooves are provided, symmetrically arranged on the inner side wall of the temperature control box. A first slide rod is fixedly connected inside the first slide groove. A first slide plate is slidably connected to the first slide rod. An outer frame plate is fixedly connected at the middle position of adjacent first slide plates. A rubber vent plate is fixedly connected inside the outer frame plate. A handle groove is opened on the side of the outer frame plate. Multiple support rods are slidably connected to the outer frame plate. Multiple first bolts are threadedly connected to the side of the outer frame plate. The other end of the first bolt passes through the outer frame plate and abuts against the support rod.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the use of the first sliding groove and the first sliding rod in conjunction with the sliding operation of the first sliding plate, after the worker places the placement trough containing fresh Gastrodia elata into the temperature control box, the first bolt is loosened, allowing the outer frame plate to slide on the support rod. The first sliding plate then slides on the first sliding rod, allowing the outer frame plate to slide smoothly, moving the outer frame plate and the rubber breathable plate to the upper end of the placement trough. This restricts the position of the fresh Gastrodia elata placed in the trough, ensuring its stability and preventing it from moving arbitrarily, thus reducing damage caused by collisions. Tightening the first bolt again restricts the position of the outer frame plate on the support rod. This use of the limiting mechanism for the fresh Gastrodia elata facilitates the storage of fresh Gastrodia elata.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the isolation plate adjustment assembly includes a placement groove, a vent plate, an isolation plate, a second slide groove, a second slide rod, a second slider, a second bolt, and a first handle;

[0011] The placement groove has multiple second sliding grooves inside, and a second sliding rod is fixedly connected inside the second sliding groove. The second sliding rod is slidably connected to a second bolt. An isolation plate is fixedly connected at the middle position of adjacent second bolts. A second slider is threadedly connected to the side of the second bolt. The other end of the second slider passes through the second bolt and abuts against the second sliding rod. A first handle is fixedly connected to the side of the placement groove. A vent plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the placement groove. The lower end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the placement groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the isolation plate can be adjusted by the staff to adjust the position of the adjacent isolation plates according to the size of different fresh gastrodia elata, so that fresh gastrodia elata of different sizes can be placed into the placement slot. Loosening the second slider allows the second bolt to slide in the second slide rod, thereby moving the position of the isolation plate. According to the size of different fresh gastrodia elata, the position of the isolation plate can be adjusted appropriately. Tightening the second slider restricts the position of the second bolt to ensure the stability of the isolation plate position, which is suitable for storing gastrodia elata of different specifications. The setting of the ventilation plate ensures that air can pass through freely and ensures air circulation in the area around the fresh gastrodia elata.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the air filtration assembly inside the chamber includes a rectangular mounting plate, a third bolt, a second handle, an activated carbon adsorption layer, and an adsorption layer snap-fit ​​plate.

[0014] The rectangular mounting plate is snapped onto the side of the inner circulation channel pipe. A second handle is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular mounting plate. Multiple third bolts are threaded onto the side of the rectangular mounting plate adjacent to the second handle. The other end of each third bolt passes through a threaded hole on the side of the inner circulation channel pipe threaded onto the rectangular mounting plate. Multiple adsorption layer snap-fit ​​plates are fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular mounting plate opposite to the second handle. An activated carbon adsorption layer is snapped into the inside of each adsorption layer snap-fit ​​plate. The size of each adsorption layer snap-fit ​​plate is adapted to the inner diameter of the inner circulation channel pipe. Sealing gaskets are provided at the connection between the adsorption layer snap-fit ​​plate and the inner circulation channel pipe, and at the connection between the rectangular mounting plate and the inner circulation channel pipe.

[0015] The second circulation port is fitted with a circulation port filter on the side opposite to the inner circulation channel pipe. A circulation fan is installed inside the first circulation port. A disassembly plate is fitted to the side of the temperature control box.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the rectangular mounting plate is used in conjunction with the activated carbon adsorption layer and the adsorption layer snap-fit ​​plate to install the activated carbon adsorption layer into the internal circulation channel pipe, thereby adsorbing harmful metabolic gases in the air and inhibiting the browning of fresh gastrodia elata. The internal circulation channel pipe connects the first circulation port and the second circulation port, enabling the air in the temperature control box to circulate internally. The air inlet drives the airflow below, and the air entering the second circulation port is filtered by the circulation port filter screen for subsequent air purification operations. The sealing gasket strengthens the connection and sealing between structures. The third bolt facilitates the installation and disassembly of the activated carbon adsorption layer for maintenance operations. The activated carbon adsorption layer is replaced periodically. The disassembly plate facilitates the replacement of the activated carbon adsorption layer. The disassembly plate is removed for disassembly of the rectangular mounting plate. The second handle is used by the operator to pick up the rectangular mounting plate.

[0017] The activated carbon adsorption layer can efficiently adsorb ethylene, odors and metabolic waste gas in the equipment, effectively keeping the skin of fresh gastrodia elata white and the flesh firm, purifying the air in the sealed cavity, and preventing cross-contamination and spoilage. The activated carbon adsorption layer has a simple structure, is safe and has no side effects, will not pollute fresh gastrodia elata, has a long service life, is easy to replace, and has low operation and maintenance costs.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a door is provided on the side of the temperature control box opposite to the disassembly plate, and an observation glass window is provided on the side of the door. A water storage tank is provided on the side of the temperature control box at the lower end of the disassembly plate, and a water pipe is fixedly connected to the upper end of the water storage tank. A water inlet is provided on the upper end of the water storage tank adjacent to the water pipe. Multiple ultrasonic humidifiers are provided on the inner side wall of the temperature control box adjacent to the first slide groove, and the other end of the water pipe is connected to the ultrasonic humidifier.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the box door, used in conjunction with the temperature control box, protects the Gastrodia elata stored inside. An observation window on the side of the box door allows staff to directly observe the fresh Gastrodia elata stored inside. The water tank stores water for humidification operations, and an ultrasonic humidifier sprays water mist into the temperature control box. The side-mounted ultrasonic humidifier prevents water droplets from directly spraying onto the surface of the fresh Gastrodia elata, facilitating water replenishment. Sensors enable automatic operation, reducing staff workload and improving storage efficiency. The water inlet allows staff to replenish water to the equipment.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the inner sidewall of the temperature control box is fixedly connected to a plurality of inner mounting plates at the lower end of the first slide groove, and a plurality of mounting plates are snapped into the side of the placement groove. The mounting plates are snapped into the inner mounting plates, and a limiting rod is inserted into the upper end of the inner mounting plate. The limiting rod is located at an adjacent position to the mounting plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner mounting plate facilitates the placement of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is snapped into the inner mounting plate. The limiting rod ensures the stability of the placement slot, which is convenient for the storage and placement of fresh Gastrodia elata.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a water collection trough is provided on the inner bottom wall of the temperature control box, and a drain outlet is fixedly connected to the side of the temperature control box adjacent to the door. The other end of the drain outlet is connected to the water collection trough. Multiple sensors are evenly arranged on the inner top wall and inner side wall of the temperature control box. The sensors include a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and an oxygen sensor.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the water accumulated in the temperature control box is collected by the water collection tank and discharged through the drain outlet. Multiple sensors are used to detect the temperature, humidity and oxygen content inside the equipment, which is then used in conjunction with subsequent intelligent control operations.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a control panel is fixedly connected to the side of the temperature control box opposite to the drain outlet. The control panel is provided with control components on its side, and multiple self-locking casters are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the temperature control box and the control panel.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the control panel and control components facilitate the operation of the equipment by the staff, and the self-locking casters allow for the movement of the equipment and the relocation of the equipment by the staff, thus meeting the storage needs of different areas.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the inner top wall of the temperature control box is provided with multiple air inlets adjacent to the first circulation port, and the side of the control panel is provided with a rectangular groove on the opposite side of the control component. A nitrogen storage tank is provided inside the rectangular groove, and an auxiliary air pump is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the rectangular groove. The auxiliary air pump is connected to the nitrogen storage tank and the air inlets through a connecting pipe. The temperature control box, sensor, ultrasonic humidifier, circulating fan and auxiliary air pump are all electrically connected to the control component.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, and using the set air inlet in conjunction with the auxiliary air pump, the auxiliary air pump transports the nitrogen stored in the nitrogen storage tank to the air inlet through the connecting pipe, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the temperature control box, making fresh gastrodia elata less prone to sprouting and spoilage, and facilitating storage operations.

[0028] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0029] In this invention, 1) the setting of the Gastrodia elata limiting component effectively solves the problems of easy displacement and damage from bumps during the storage of fresh Gastrodia elata; through the sliding cooperation of the first sliding groove, the first sliding rod and the first sliding plate, the height position of the outer frame plate and the rubber breathable plate can be flexibly adjusted so that they fit against the upper end of the placement groove to limit and fix the Gastrodia elata; with the locking and positioning of the first bolt, the placement position of the Gastrodia elata can be fixed throughout the process, avoiding shaking and collision of the Gastrodia elata during equipment transportation and air circulation, effectively reducing the damage to the skin and flesh of the Gastrodia elata; at the same time, the rubber breathable plate has both limiting and ventilation functions, ensuring the stability of the placement without blocking the air circulation inside the box, providing a basic guarantee for the stable storage of fresh Gastrodia elata and reducing storage losses;

[0030] 2. The adjustable partition assembly significantly improves the adaptability and practicality of storing fresh Gastrodia elata. Staff can flexibly adjust the spacing between adjacent partitions according to the different specifications and sizes of the fresh Gastrodia elata using the sliding cooperation of the second slide rod, second slider, and second bolt. This allows for separate storage of Gastrodia elata of different sizes, preventing them from being mixed and crushed. After adjustment, the partition positions can be fixed by a locking structure to ensure the stability of the partition structure. Simultaneously, a breathable plate at the bottom of the storage compartment ensures uniform airflow in each storage area, preventing localized stuffiness and poor ventilation.

[0031] 3. The equipment is equipped with an internal air filtration and circulation component, which solves the problems of browning, odor transfer, and spoilage of fresh gastrodia elata from the perspective of air purification. Relying on the internal circulation channel pipe and circulation fan to form a closed air self-circulation system, the air inside the box can be continuously circulated and refreshed, avoiding stagnant air and bacterial growth. At the same time, the detachable activated carbon adsorption layer can efficiently adsorb ethylene, metabolic waste gas and odor impurities inside the box, effectively inhibiting oxidation, browning, mold and rot of gastrodia elata, and keeping the surface of gastrodia elata white and the flesh firm. The filter component adopts a bolt-on installation structure, with a detachable inspection plate, making it easy to disassemble, install and replace the filter element, with low operation and maintenance costs. Moreover, the pure physical adsorption method is safe and pollution-free, and will not cause secondary damage to fresh gastrodia elata, ensuring extremely high preservation safety.

[0032] 4. The equipment integrates an intelligent temperature, humidity, and oxygen control system to achieve intelligent and long-term preservation and storage of fresh Gastrodia elata. Multiple sensors collect real-time data on temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration within the chamber, automatically adjusting the equipment's operation based on control components. An ultrasonic humidifier precisely compensates for humidity loss within the chamber, preventing the Gastrodia elata from drying out. A nitrogen storage tank and auxiliary air pump replenish nitrogen, reducing oxygen levels and effectively inhibiting sprouting and spoilage. Combined with the intelligent temperature control function of the temperature-controlled chamber, it precisely matches the optimal storage environment for fresh Gastrodia elata. Simultaneously, a water collection tank and drain outlet within the chamber promptly drain condensate, preventing mold growth due to dampness. The overall equipment is highly automated, requiring minimal manual intervention, significantly reducing the burden of manual maintenance and substantially extending the preservation and storage period of fresh Gastrodia elata.

Detailed Implementation

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, 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.

[0048] Example:

[0049] Reference Figure 1-8 A smart preservation and storage device for fresh Gastrodia elata includes a temperature control box 1. The temperature control box 1 is equipped with multiple Gastrodia elata limiting components 2. An isolation plate adjustment component 3 is provided at the lower end of the Gastrodia elata limiting components 2 inside the temperature control box 1. A second circulation port 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the temperature control box 1. An internal circulation channel pipe 27 is fixedly connected to the side of the second circulation port 18. An internal air filter component 4 is provided on the side of the internal circulation channel pipe 27.

[0050] Reference Figure 1-4 , Figure 6 The gastrodia elata limiting component 2 includes a first sliding groove 201, a first sliding rod 202, a first sliding plate 203, an outer frame plate 204, a rubber breathable plate 205, a support rod 206, a first bolt 207, and a handle groove 208.

[0051] Multiple first slide grooves 201 are provided, symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the temperature control box 1. A first slide rod 202 is fixedly connected inside each first slide groove 201. A first slide plate 203 is slidably connected to the first slide rod 202. An outer frame plate 204 is fixedly connected at the midpoint between adjacent first slide plates 203. A rubber vent plate 205 is fixedly connected inside the outer frame plate 204. A handle groove 208 is provided on the side of the outer frame plate 204. Multiple support rods 206 are slidably connected to the outer frame plate 204. Multiple first bolts 207 are threaded onto the side of the outer frame plate 204. The other end of each first bolt 207 passes through the outer frame plate 204 and abuts against the support rods 206. The first slide grooves 201 and first slide rods 202 work in conjunction with the first slide plates 203. For sliding operation, after the worker places the placement trough 301 containing fresh gastrodia elata into the temperature control box 1, the first bolt 207 is loosened, allowing the outer frame plate 204 to slide on the support rod 206. The first sliding plate 203 slides on the first sliding rod 202, allowing the outer frame plate 204 to slide smoothly. The outer frame plate 204 and the rubber breathable plate 205 are moved to the upper end of the placement trough 301, thereby restricting the position of the fresh gastrodia elata placed in the placement trough 301, ensuring that the position of the fresh gastrodia elata is stable and will not move randomly, reducing damage caused by mutual collision. Tightening the first bolt 207 again restricts the position of the outer frame plate 204 on the support rod 206. The use of the limit function for fresh gastrodia elata is beneficial for the storage operation of fresh gastrodia elata.

[0052] Reference Figure 1-4 , Figure 5 The isolation plate adjustment assembly 3 includes a placement groove 301, a breathable plate 302, an isolation plate 303, a second sliding groove 304, a second sliding rod 305, a second slider 306, a second bolt 307, and a first handle 308.

A second bolt 307 is slidably connected to each second sliding rod 305. An isolation plate 303 is fixedly connected at the midpoint between adjacent second bolts 307. A second slider 306 is threadedly connected to the side of each second bolt 307. The other end of the second slider 306 passes through the second bolt 307 and abuts against the second sliding rod 305. A first handle 308 is fixedly connected to the side of the placement groove 301. A vent plate 302 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the placement groove 301. The lower end of the support rod 206 is fixedly connected to the placement groove 301. The isolation plate 303 can be adjusted... The position of 03 allows staff to adjust the position of adjacent isolation plates 303 according to the size of different fresh gastrodia elata, so that fresh gastrodia elata of different sizes can be placed into the placement slot 301. Loosening the second slider 306 allows the second bolt 307 to slide within the second slide rod 305, thereby moving the position of the isolation plate 303. The position of the isolation plate 303 can be adjusted appropriately according to the size of different fresh gastrodia elata. Tightening the second slider 306 restricts the position of the second bolt 307, ensuring the stability of the position of the isolation plate 303 and adapting to the storage of gastrodia elata of different specifications. The setting of the ventilation plate 302 ensures that air can pass through freely, ensuring air circulation in the area around the fresh gastrodia elata.

The inner circulation channel pipe 27 connects the first circulation port 17 and the second circulation port 18, enabling internal air circulation within the temperature control box 1. The air inlet 15 drives the airflow below, and the air entering the second circulation port 18 is filtered through the circulation port filter 19 for subsequent air purification operations. The sealing gasket strengthens the connection and sealing between structures. The third bolt 402 facilitates installation and disassembly by the staff for maintenance operations. The activated carbon adsorption layer 404 is replaced periodically. The disassembly plate 23 facilitates the replacement of the activated carbon adsorption layer 404 by the staff. The disassembly plate 23 can be removed for disassembly of the rectangular mounting plate 401. The second handle 403 helps the staff to pick up the rectangular mounting plate 401.

Water mist is sprayed into the temperature control box 1 through the ultrasonic humidifier 10. The ultrasonic humidifier 10 on the side prevents water droplets from being sprayed directly onto the surface of the fresh Gastrodia elata. It is used in conjunction with the water replenishment operation of the fresh Gastrodia elata. The equipment is set with sensors to make the equipment operate automatically, reducing the burden on staff and improving the storage efficiency of the equipment. The water inlet 21 is used by staff to replenish water to the equipment.

[0062] Reference Figure 1-4 The inner top wall of the temperature control box 1 is provided with multiple air inlets 15 adjacent to the first circulation port 17. The side of the control panel 7 is provided with a rectangular groove on the opposite side of the control component 8. A nitrogen storage tank 24 is provided inside the rectangular groove. An auxiliary air pump 25 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the rectangular groove. The auxiliary air pump 25 is connected to the nitrogen storage tank 24 and the air inlets 15 through a connecting pipe. The temperature control box 1, sensor 9, ultrasonic humidifier 10, circulating fan 16 and auxiliary air pump 25 are all electrically connected to the control component 8. They are used in conjunction with the auxiliary air pump 25 through the air inlets 15. The auxiliary air pump 25 transports the nitrogen stored in the nitrogen storage tank 24 to the air inlet 15 through the connecting pipe, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the temperature control box 1, making it less likely for fresh gastrodia elata to sprout and rot, and facilitating storage operations.

[0063] A smart preservation and storage device and method for fresh Gastrodia elata, comprising the following steps:

[0064] Step 1: Place fresh gastrodia elata into the placement slot 301. Adjust the position of the adjacent isolation plates 303 according to the different sizes of fresh gastrodia elata. Use the second slider 306 to work with the isolation plates 303 to restrict the operation. Attach the mounting plate 26 on the side of the placement slot 301 into the inner mounting plate 11. Use the limiting rod 12 to restrict the position of the mounting plate 26 in the temperature control box 1 to complete the placement operation.

[0065] Step 2: The humidity, temperature and oxygen content inside the temperature control box 1 are detected by multiple sensors and the data is transmitted to the control panel 7. The control panel 7 processes the data to control the operation of the electronic structure inside the equipment.

[0066] Step 3: When the oxygen content in temperature control box 1 is high, nitrogen stored in nitrogen storage tank 24 is transported to temperature control box 1 by auxiliary air pump 25. When the humidity in temperature control box 1 is insufficient, humidification is performed by ultrasonic humidifier 10 to increase the humidity inside temperature control box 1. When the temperature inside temperature control box 1 does not meet the temperature required for storing fresh gastrodia elata, temperature control box 1 is intelligently adjusted by control component 8 to make the temperature meet the requirements for storing fresh gastrodia elata.

[0067] Step 4: Collect the accumulated water in the temperature control box 1 through the water collection tank 13, and drain the excess water in the temperature control box 1 through the drain outlet 14. Drive the air in the temperature control box 1 through the circulating fan 16 to make the air in the temperature control box 1 self-circulate. The activated carbon adsorption layer 404 absorbs and filters ethylene, odor and metabolic waste gas in the air.

[0068] The implementation principle of the intelligent preservation and storage device and method for fresh Gastrodia elata of the present invention is as follows:

[0069] By using the first sliding groove 201 and the first sliding rod 202 in conjunction with the sliding operation of the first sliding plate 203, the staff puts the placement trough 301 containing fresh gastrodia elata into the temperature control box 1, loosens the first bolt 207, so that the outer frame plate 204 can slide on the support rod 206. By sliding the first sliding plate 203 on the first sliding rod 202, the outer frame plate 204 can slide smoothly, moving the outer frame plate 204 and the rubber breathable plate 205 to the upper end of the placement trough 301, thereby restricting the fresh gastrodia elata placed in the placement trough 301, thus restricting the position of the fresh gastrodia elata, ensuring that the position of the fresh gastrodia elata is stable and will not move randomly, reducing damage caused by mutual collision. Tightening the first bolt 207 again restricts the position of the outer frame plate 204 on the support rod 206. The use of the limit function for fresh gastrodia elata is conducive to the storage operation of fresh gastrodia elata.

[0070] By adjusting the position of the isolation plate 303, staff can easily adjust the position of adjacent isolation plates 303 according to the size of different fresh gastrodia elata, so that fresh gastrodia elata of different sizes can be placed into the placement slot 301. Loosening the second slider 306 allows the second bolt 307 to slide within the second slide rod 305, thereby moving the position of the isolation plate 303. According to the size of different fresh gastrodia elata, the position of the isolation plate 303 can be adjusted appropriately. Tightening the second slider 306 restricts the position of the second bolt 307, ensuring the stability of the position of the isolation plate 303 and adapting to the storage of gastrodia elata of different specifications. The setting of the ventilation plate 302 ensures that air can pass through freely, ensuring air circulation in the area around the fresh gastrodia elata.

[0071] The rectangular mounting plate 401 is used in conjunction with the activated carbon adsorption layer 404 and the adsorption layer snap-fit ​​plate 405 to install the activated carbon adsorption layer 404 into the internal circulation channel pipe 27, thereby adsorbing harmful metabolic gases in the air and inhibiting the browning of fresh gastrodia elata. The internal circulation channel pipe 27 connects the first circulation port 17 and the second circulation port 18, enabling internal air circulation in the temperature control box 1. The air inlet 15 drives the airflow below, and the air entering the second circulation port 18 is filtered by the circulation port filter 19 for subsequent air purification operations. The sealing gasket strengthens the connection and sealing between structures. The third bolt 402 facilitates installation and disassembly by the staff for maintenance operations. The activated carbon adsorption layer 404 is replaced periodically. The disassembly plate 23 facilitates the replacement of the activated carbon adsorption layer 404. The disassembly plate 23 is removed for disassembly of the rectangular mounting plate 401. The second handle 403 helps the staff to pick up the rectangular mounting plate 401.
