Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fruit ripening device, belonging to the technical field of fruit ripening. Background Art

[0002] Fruits such as apricots, bananas, sugar apples, guavas, kiwis, mangoes, and papayas are usually not eaten immediately after picking. They must go through a process of post-ripening and softening to ensure the conversion of nutrients, soften the flesh, and reach the peak of color, aroma, and taste. In the process of fruit ripening, the fruit is often put into a plastic bag, and then an appropriate amount of ethylene gas is injected into the plastic bag. Then, the plastic bag mouth is manually tied with a rope, or the plastic bag mouth is tied by itself. The above method has low working efficiency and causes inconvenience to the opening of the plastic bag later. Therefore, it is necessary to design a fruit ripening device that improves the efficiency of the plastic bag mouth sealing operation. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve is installed in the plug hole, and the inner diameter of the rubber sleeve is the same as the outer diameter of the plug rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a first tapered opening which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom is processed at the lower inner portion of the plug hole, and a second tapered opening which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom is processed at the lower inner portion of the rubber sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the gripping rod are connected and fixed with oblique rods, and one end of the oblique rod away from the gripping rod is connected and fixed to the column rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a circular hole is opened on the upper surface of the slat, the lower end of the screw rod passes through the circular hole and is connected and fixed with a disc head, the outer diameter of the disc head is larger than the inner diameter of the circular hole, the disc head is slidably installed in the round cover, the upper end of the round cover is open and connected and fixed with the slat, the upper surface of the rubber strip is recessed downward to form a circular groove, and the round cover is fixed in the circular groove.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0012] 1. After putting the fruit into the plastic bag, place the opening of the plastic bag in the strip groove on the rubber base, and then turn the screw to move the screw downward along the threaded hole, and then the screw drives the rubber strip to move downward through the slats until the rubber strip enters the strip groove, and then the rubber strip and the rubber base work together to seal the opening of the plastic bag, thereby improving the efficiency of the sealing operation of the plastic bag opening and facilitating the rapid opening of the plastic bag opening later.

[0013] 2. Insert the connecting rods on the four poles on the lower pallet into the connecting holes on the four poles on the upper pallet respectively. At this time, the two pallets are supported by four poles, and so on, to complete the neat stacking of multiple pallets.

[0014] 3. Adjust the length of the plug-in rod in the threaded blind hole so that the length of the plug-in rod outside the threaded blind hole becomes longer or shorter, thereby changing the spacing between two adjacent layers of pallets after insertion, making it easier to adjust the spacing between the pallets according to the height of the fruit.

[0015] 4. After the lower end of the screw passes through the round hole on the slat, the disc head is installed. At this time, the disc head is slidably installed in the round cover, and the round cover is installed in the round groove on the rubber strip, so that the rotating connection part between the screw and the slat is hidden, which is beneficial to reduce the height of the structure formed by the screw, slat and rubber strip.
