Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1-6The utility model provides a technical solution: a fruit ripening storage device, comprising a storage device body 1, a storage box 2 is arranged on the storage device body 1, and a partition top plate 6 is arranged on the top of the storage box 2, and side isolation mesh plates 8 are symmetrically connected to the lower ends of the partition top plate 6, and air outlet nozzles 12 are evenly installed on the side isolation mesh plates 8, and a branch pipe 10 is fixed between the air outlet nozzle 12 and the air guide pipe 9 through a pipe fitting. This structure allows the gas in the air chamber 5 to reach the air outlet nozzle 12 through the air guide pipe 9 and the branch pipe 10, so that the gas in the air chamber 5 can enter the storage box 2 through the air outlet nozzle 12, so that the gas in the storage box 2 circulates and the gas is evenly distributed, so that ethylene, temperature and humidity are evenly distributed, and the consistency of the fruit ripening process is ensured. The induced-air fan 3 is installed in a snap-fit ​​manner, and an air chamber 5 is provided above the partition top plate 6, and a heater 4 is installed on the top of the air chamber 5. The heater 4 is an existing air heating structure, which is used to control the temperature in the storage box 2. The two opposite sides of the storage box 2 are respectively hinged with maintenance side doors 7, and the maintenance side doors 7 correspond to the positions of the side isolation mesh plates 8, and the two sides of the bottom of the storage box 2 are symmetrically provided with support rails 22 of parallel structure. One end of the storage box 2 is also hingedly installed with a sealed door 11, and a circle of shock-absorbing sealing rings 13 are provided around the sealed door 11, and a temperature and humidity monitor 14 is installed on the sealed door 11. This structure can process the air duct 9, the branch pipe 10 and the air outlet nozzle 12 from the maintenance side door 7. The sealed door 11 is used to seal the storage box 2. Processing, the temperature and humidity monitor 14 is used to detect the temperature and humidity conditions in the storage box 2, so as to determine the ripening conditions of different fruits. Air ducts 9 are penetrated on both sides of the partition top plate 6, and the air ducts 9 are located between the storage box 2 and the side isolation mesh plate 8. A layered frame 17 is superimposed in the storage box 2, and a positioning rod 20 is provided above the layered frame 17. A supporting bottom plate 21 is provided at the bottom of the layered frame 17, and the supporting bottom plate 21 is supported on a supporting guide rail 22. A support plate 18 with an L-shaped structure is provided on one side of the layered frame 17, and the L-shaped structure of the support plate 18 is engaged with the positioning rod 20 at the end of the guide rod 19. The length of the guide rod 19 is greater than the length of the layered frame 17. This structure allows the layered frame 17 to pass through the supporting bottom plate 21 and the supporting bottom plate 21. The guide rail 22 cooperates to move in the storage box 2, so that the support plate 18 can support the guide rod 19 at the bottom of the end and prevent the end from being blocked through the L-shaped structure. Grooves are provided on both sides of the support plate 18, and the grooves of the support plate 18 are engaged with a movable connecting seat 24 through a rotating rod, and a driving screw 16 is passed through the movable connecting seat 24. This structure allows the support plate 18 to rotate relative to the movable connecting seat 24. The movable connecting seat 24 can be vertically lifted and lowered by rotating the driving screw 16. When lifting, the support plate 18 lifts the end of the guide rod 19 upward to change the inclination angle of the guide rod 19 so that the fruit between the guide rods 19 can be unloaded. The driving screw 16 and the layered frame 17 are also respectively penetrated.The top of the driving screw 16 is connected to a driving motor 15 through a coupling. This structure can drive the driving screw 16 to rotate through the driving motor 15, so as to achieve a uniform lifting process of the support plate 18 and to perform the discharging process at the same time. The positioning rod 20 is evenly spaced with arc structures, and the arc structures between the positioning rods 20 are respectively spaced and connected with guide rods 19, and the guide rod 19 at the bottom of the positioning rod 20 is connected with a rotating connecting rod 23, so that the frame structure composed of the guide rod 19 and the positioning rod 20 can be rotated by rotating the connecting rod 23.

[0021] Working principle: When using the fruit ripening storage device, first open the sealed door 11, place the frame structure composed of the layered frame 17 on the support rail 22 through the support bottom plate 21, and then push it into the storage box 2, and then place the fruits in the arc-shaped channel formed by the guide rods 19 in turn. The fruits slide to the side of the support plate 18 through the inclined structure of the guide rods 19, and the end is blocked and supported by the support plate 18. The positioning rods 20 make the guide rods 19 on each layer of the layered frame 17 fixed. The guide rods 19 have a small inclination angle to avoid collision and damage to the fruits. When the guide rods 19 are filled with fruits, close the sealed door 11, and form a closed space through the shock-absorbing sealing ring 13. Then, the fruits are ripened during storage, and air is sucked into the air chamber 5 through the induced ventilator 3. The air is heated by the heater 4 as needed, and the partition top plate 6 serves to install and fix the induced ventilator 3. The gas is then dispersed to the branch pipe 10 through the air duct 9 and then discharged from the branch pipe 10 to realize gas circulation and evenly distribute ethylene and temperature and humidity. The temperature and humidity monitor 14 detects the temperature and humidity in real time. The side door 7 for maintenance can be opened to maintain the air duct 9, branch pipe 10 and air outlet nozzle 12 outside the side isolation mesh plate 8. When discharging the fruit, the drive motor 15 is started, and the drive screw 16 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 15. The support plate 18 limits the movable connection seat 24, so that the drive screw 16 drives the movable connection seat 24 to move straight up, so that the support plate 18 drives the lower end of the guide rod 19 to lift upward, and the inclination angle of the guide rod 19 is changed. The guide rod 19 rotates relative to the layered frame 17 by rotating the connecting rod 23, so that the fruit can be discharged, and the storage device body 1 can achieve high-quality storage and ripening of the fruit, thereby completing a series of tasks.
