[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 , a tomato ripening device with a fresh-keeping function provided by the utility model, the tomato ripening device with a fresh-keeping function comprises a box body 1, a pair of box doors 11 are arranged at one end of the box body 1, a pair of exhaust ports 12 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the box body 1, an air guide pipe 13 is arranged at the other end of the exhaust port 12, an air pump 14 is arranged at the other end of the air guide pipe 13, a circulation box 15 is arranged at the other end of the air pump 14, one end of the circulation box 15 is fixed to the outside of the box body 1, a circulation pipe 16 is arranged on one side of the circulation box 15, and the other end of the circulation pipe 16 is connected to the box body 1; a ripening agent box 2 is arranged on the outside of one side of the circulation pipe 16 of the box body 1, an air supply pipe 21 is arranged on one side of the ripening agent box 2, a plurality of air supply pipes 21 are evenly arranged at the other end of the air supply pipe 21, and the other end of the air supply pipe 21 is connected to the side of the box body 1.
[0025] Specifically, a pair of box doors 11 are provided at one end of the box body 1, and the box doors 11 are used to seal the box body 1 when it is working; a pair of exhaust ports 12 are symmetrically provided at the top of the box body 1, and an air guide pipe 13 is provided at the other end of the exhaust port 12, and an air pump 14 is provided at the other end of the air guide pipe 13, and a circulation box 15 is provided at the other end of the air pump 14, and one end of the circulation box 15 is fixed to the outside of the box body 1, and a circulation pipe 16 is provided on one side of the circulation box 15, and the other end of the circulation pipe 16 is connected to the box body 1, and the air guide pipe 13 is connected to the box body 1 through the exhaust port 12, and the air pump 14 drives the air flow circulation inside the box body 1 to temporarily store the gas. In the circulation box 15, the gas is refluxed to the interior of the box body 1 through the circulation pipe 16, so as to avoid the waste of part of the ripening agent inside the box body 1 and improve the utilization rate of the ripening agent; a ripening agent box 2 is arranged on the outside of one side of the circulation pipe 16 of the box body 1, and an air supply pipe 21 is arranged on one side of the ripening agent box 2, and a plurality of air supply pipes 21 are evenly arranged on the other end of the air supply pipe 21, and the other end of the air supply pipe 21 is connected to the side of the box body 1. The ripening agent box 2 passes the ripening agent containing suitable concentration into the interior of the box body 1 through the air supply pipe 21, and enters the same side as part of the ripening agent in the circulation box 15, so as to avoid uneven mixing of the ripening agent and cause poor ripening effect.
[0026] A plurality of fixed blocks 4 are evenly arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the box body 1, and the positions of the fixed blocks 4 on both sides correspond to each other. A slide rail 41 is arranged on the opposite surface of the fixed block 4 on the same side, and a ripening chamber 42 is arranged in the slide rail 41. The top surface and the bottom surface of the ripening chamber 42 are both located at the center line of the fixed block 4.
[0027] Specifically, the ripening chamber 42 can slide on the fixed block 4 through the slide rail 41, so that tomatoes can be placed inside the ripening chamber 42. Multiple ripening chambers 42 can be placed inside the box body 1 through multiple slide rails 41, thereby increasing the total number of ripening tomatoes.
[0028] A buffer plate 5 is provided on the inner side of the box body 1, the other end of the buffer plate 5 contacts the ripening chamber 42, the top of the buffer plate 5 is flush with the top of the ripening chamber 42 group, and the bottom of the buffer plate 5 is flush with the lowest end of the ripening chamber 42 group.
[0029] Specifically, the buffer plate 5 is used to buffer one end of the ripening chamber 42, and when the door 11 is closed, the door 11 is completely fitted with the ripening chamber 42.
[0030] A plurality of air ducts 51 are evenly arranged inside the buffer plate 5, and the air ducts 51 penetrate the buffer plate 5. A plurality of air inlets 43 are evenly arranged at one end of the inner side of the ripening chamber 42. The number and positions of the air inlets 43 correspond to the number and positions of the air ducts 51, and the air inlets 43 are connected to the air ducts 51.
[0031] Specifically, the ripening agent enters the buffer plate 5 through the air duct 51 and can only move along the air duct 51 ; the ripening agent in the air duct 51 is passed into the ripening chamber 42 through the air inlet 43 .
[0032] A pair of drying layers 3 are symmetrically arranged on the inner bottom surface of the box body 1. The drying layers 3 are located between the air guide 51 and the fixing block 4. One side of the drying layer 3 is detachably connected to the fixing block 4. The length of the drying layer 3 is the same as the internal depth of the box body 1.
[0033] Specifically, the drying layer 3 provides partial support for the bottom end of the ripening chamber 42. Since the top and bottom surfaces of the ripening chamber 42 are both located at the center line of the fixing block 4, the drying layer 3 can be connected to the bottom fixing block 4. The drying layer 3 can be replaced by being detachable. The length of the drying layer 3 is the same as the internal depth of the box body 1, so that the drying layer 3 can cooperate with the box door 11 for sealing.
[0034] One end of the air supply pipe 21 connected to the housing 1 is located at the side where the drying layer 3 is connected to the fixed block 4 , and one end of the circulation pipe 16 connected to the housing 1 is also located at the side where the drying layer 3 is connected to the fixed block 4 .
[0035] Specifically, the ripening agent in the air supply pipe 21 and the circulation pipe 16 is first dried by the drying layers 3 , then enters the space between the drying layers 3 , and then enters the interior of each ripening chamber 42 through the air guide duct 51 .
[0036] During use, the ripening agent box 2 is started to pass the ripening agent gas into the interior of the box body 1. After being dried by the drying layer 3, the ripening agent gas enters each ripening chamber 42. As the tomatoes in the ripening chamber 42 absorb the ripening agent, the density of the ripening agent gas decreases. Under the action of the vacuum pump 14, the ripening agent gas circulates in the ripening chamber 42, takes away the moisture produced by the tomatoes, and extends the other end of the air duct 51 outward to enter the circulation box 15 and circulate into the box body 1 through the circulation pipe 16, and then dries through the drying layer 3. Under the gas circulation in the drying layer 3 and the inside of the box body 1, the inside of the box body 1 is always kept dry and cool, thereby providing a good ripening and preservation environment for the tomatoes.
[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
