Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vegetable transportation, and more specifically to a tomato classification and transportation device. Background Art
[0002] Globally, tomato is a common ingredient and is widely used in various dishes, salads, sauces and other foods, so it is in great demand. Tomato sorting and transportation devices usually refer to special packaging containers or boxes used to transport tomatoes. They are used to protect tomatoes from damage and keep them fresh during transportation. They usually have proper ventilation and protection measures to ensure that tomatoes remain in good condition during long-distance transportation.
[0003] Chinese Patent Authorization Announcement No.: CN220785858U provides a vegetable transport rack. During transportation, the staff puts the vegetables on the top of the pallet. After evenly placing the vegetables in a row, the staff inserts the pallet into the recess adjacent to the vegetables, and then continues to evenly place a row of vegetables on the side of the pallet away from the vegetables, and repeats this cycle until the pallet is full or all the vegetables are placed. The setting of the pallet can prevent the vegetables from shaking in a large range during transportation, thereby avoiding damage to the vegetables during transportation. After the staff has placed a layer of vegetables, they place another pallet on the pallet on top of the pallet where the vegetables are placed. At this time, this layer of pallets can be placed so that the hooks fit tightly against the pallet. The design of the drip plate can prevent moisture and adherent soil on the surface of the vegetables from falling onto the vegetables on the lower layer, thereby avoiding contamination of the vegetables on the lower layer by dirt.
[0004] However, due to the round shape of tomatoes, when they are transported over long distances on a flat transport rack, the starting or braking of the vehicle can easily cause the tomatoes to roll. When multiple tomatoes roll and squeeze each other, the tomato skin can easily be damaged. At the same time, tomatoes will also produce water evaporation during transportation. If they are squeezed together, the water cannot evaporate and adheres to its surface, thereby accelerating spoilage.
[0005] Therefore, a tomato sorting and transportation device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] Based on this, the problems existing in the relevant technology can be improved: when multiple tomatoes roll and squeeze each other, the skin of the tomatoes is easily damaged. At the same time, tomatoes will also produce water evaporation during transportation. If they are squeezed together, the water cannot evaporate and adheres to its surface, thereby accelerating corruption and deterioration.
[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A tomato sorting and transporting device comprises a transport frame 1, wherein a plurality of groups of limit frame assemblies 2 are arranged inside the transport frame 1, wherein each group of limit frame assemblies 2 is composed of two limit frame assemblies 2, wherein a plurality of bottom supporting assemblies 4 are arranged between the two limit frame assemblies 2, wherein a distance adjusting assembly 3 is arranged at the head end and the tail end of each group of limit frame assemblies 2, wherein the limit frame assemblies 2 comprise a plurality of limit rods 21 and a plurality of connecting rods 22, wherein the plurality of limit rods 21 are distributed in two rows, the limit rods 21 are arranged in an arc shape, and the plurality of limit rods 21 are connected to each other through a plurality of connecting rods 22 to form a whole.
[0030] The device in this scheme is mainly used for transporting tomatoes, wherein a plurality of groups of limit frame assemblies 2 are arranged inside the transport frame 1, the plurality of groups of limit frame assemblies 2 are distributed in a matrix manner, and can be arranged upward into multiple layers, each group of limit frame assemblies 2 is composed of two limit frame assemblies 2, and a plurality of bottom supporting assemblies 4 are arranged at the bottom between the two groups of limit frame assemblies 2, the bottom supporting assemblies 4 are mainly used for supporting the bottom of tomatoes, and a distance adjusting assembly 3 is arranged at both ends of each group of limit frame assemblies 2, and the distance between the two groups of limit frame assemblies 2 can be adjusted by changing the clamping position of the clamping slot 35 on the adjusting rod 32 and the clamping block 34 on the connecting block 33, so that it can match tomatoes of different diameters, thereby increasing its scope of application.
[0031] The main body of each limiting frame assembly 2 is composed of a plurality of limiting rods 21 and connecting rods 22 connected end to end, and two upper and lower rows are arranged, which are connected by a plurality of supporting rods 23, and a bottom supporting assembly 4 is arranged between the two sets of limiting frame assemblies 2. Through the restriction of the arc-shaped limiting rods 21, after the tomatoes are placed on the bottom supporting assembly 4, through the restriction of the limiting rods 21, gaps are left between the multiple tomatoes, and rolling is not easy to occur, thereby increasing the gap to facilitate water evaporation, and preventing rolling and squeezing during transportation, thereby reducing transportation losses.
[0032] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5The limit frame assembly 2 also includes a plurality of support rods 23, which are fixedly installed between the two connecting rods 22 to form a connecting support, wherein the outer ends of the two support rods 23 are fixedly connected to a mounting rod 27, and the mounting rod 27 is fixedly connected to an abutment plate 28 at one end away from the support rod 23.
[0033] A limiting block 210 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the abutting plate 28 , and a limiting groove 29 matching with the limiting block 210 is formed on the outer end of the abutting plate 28 .
[0034] The top ends of the two support rods 23 are fixedly mounted with fixing blocks 24 , and the bottom ends of the two support rods 23 are fixedly mounted with abutment rods 26 . The abutment rods 26 and the fixing blocks 24 are coaxially arranged, and the top ends of the fixing blocks 24 are provided with abutment slots 25 matched with the abutment rods 26 .
[0035] The limiting frame assemblies 2 in this solution need to be combined into a whole for use. Each limiting frame assembly 2 is divided into two layers, each layer is composed of multiple limiting rods 21 and connecting rods 22 connected end to end. The limiting rods 21 are arranged in an arc shape to restrain the tomatoes placed inside, and the two rows of limiting rods 21 and connecting rods 22 are connected together by multiple support rods 23. The support rods 23 are arranged vertically, and the top and bottom ends are respectively connected to the upper and lower connecting rods 22. Through the support and connection of multiple support rods 23, the upper and lower layers can be connected together.
[0036] The support rods 23 at the head end and the tail end are fixed with mounting rods 27, and the other ends of the mounting rods 27 are fixed with abutment plates 28. Abutment plates 28 are provided on the outer sides of the abutment plates 28, and a limiting groove 29 is fixed next to the abutment plates 28. The limiting groove 29 matches the limiting block 210, and the limiting block 210 can be inserted into the limiting groove 29. It is worth mentioning that the positions of the limiting grooves 29 and the limiting blocks 210 of two limiting frame assemblies 2 in one group are opposite, so that when multiple groups of limiting frame assemblies 2 are arranged together, the limiting blocks 210 in one group can be inserted into the limiting grooves 29 of another group to form a connection, thereby improving the stability of the multiple groups of limiting frame assemblies 2 when they are arranged together.
[0037] The top and bottom ends of the support rod 23 with mounting rods 27 are fixed with fixed blocks 24 and then abutment rods 26. The abutment rods 26 and the fixed blocks 24 are coaxially arranged with the support rod 23 as the axis. An abutment slot 25 is also provided on the fixed block 24. The abutment slot 25 matches the abutment rod 26, and the abutment rod 26 can be inserted into the abutment slot 25 exactly. When multiple groups of limit frame assemblies 2 need to be stacked vertically, the abutment rods 26 in one group can be inserted into the abutment slots 25 in the next group, so that they can form a stack. By locking the abutment rods 26 and the abutment slots 25, their stability can be improved.
[0038] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom supporting assembly 4 includes a bottom tray 1 41 and a bottom tray 2 43. The bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 are both fixedly mounted on the inner side of the limiting rod 21 located below, and the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 are both concavely arranged. A group of embedding grooves 42 are opened on the side close to each other of the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43, and the two groups of embedding grooves 42 are staggered.
[0039] The bottom supporting assembly 4 in the present scheme is mainly composed of a bottom tray 1 41 and a bottom tray 2 43, wherein the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 are both in the shape of a circular shell recessed inwardly, and the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 are respectively fixed on two limiting frame assemblies 2 of the same group, and each limiting frame assembly 2 is arranged in an upper and lower layers, and the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 are fixed on the inner side of the limiting rod 21 located below, and the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 are provided with a plurality of embedding grooves 42, and the plurality of embedding grooves 42 on the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 are staggered. Since the spacing between the two limiting frame assemblies 2 can be adjusted by the distance adjustment assembly 3, the staggered embedding grooves 42 can be used, and when the two limiting frame assemblies 2 are close to each other, the bottom tray 1 41 and the bottom tray 2 43 can be partially overlapped through the embedding grooves 42, which will not affect the adjustment of the spacing between the two limiting frame assemblies 2.
[0040] See also Figure 3-Figure 5 The distance adjustment component 3 includes two fixing rods 31, which are respectively fixedly mounted on the top and bottom ends of the support rod 23. The two fixing rods 31 are arranged in parallel, and an adjusting rod 32 is fixedly mounted on one end of the fixing rod 31 away from the support rod 23.
[0041] The distance adjustment component 3 also includes two connecting blocks 33, which are respectively fixedly installed on the top and bottom ends of the support rod 23. A plurality of equally spaced blocks 34 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the connecting blocks 33. A plurality of slots 35 are provided at the outer end of the adjusting rod 32, and the slots 35 match the blocks 34. The adjusting rod 32 is connected to the connecting blocks 33 via the slots 35, and the adjusting rod 32 changes the distance between the two sets of limit frame components 2 by adjusting the connection position with the connecting blocks 33.
[0042] The distance adjustment component 3 in the present scheme is mainly used to adjust the distance between the two limit frame components 2. The two fixing rods 31 are respectively fixed on the support rod 23 located at the head end or the end, and are arranged in parallel up and down. The two connecting blocks 33 are the same as the fixing rods 31, and are also fixed on the support rod 23 located at the head end or the end, and are arranged in parallel up and down. The distance adjustment component 3 is arranged at the head and tail of each group of limit frame components 2. The adjusting rod 32 is fixed on the end of the fixing rod 31 away from the support rod 23. A plurality of card slots 35 are provided at the outer end of the adjusting rod 32, and a plurality of card blocks 34 distributed at equal distances are fixed on the outer end of the connecting block 33. The card blocks 34 can be inserted into the card slots 35. The two limit frame components 2 are connected together through the distance adjustment component 3 to form a group.
[0043] When the distance between the two limit frame assemblies 2 needs to be adjusted, the connection position of the adjustment rod 32 and the connection block 33 can be changed. By moving the adjustment rod 32 outward so that the card slot 35 is locked in the card block 34 located on the outside, the distance between the two limit frame assemblies 2 can be expanded, and vice versa, it can be reduced, so that it can be used for tomatoes of different sizes and prevent them from being unable to be put in or shaking violently due to inappropriate size. Since different varieties of tomatoes have different sizes, different varieties of tomatoes can be stored in the same transport frame 1 by adjusting the distance by the distance adjustment assembly 3, so that classified transportation can be achieved.
[0044] Working principle: When using the device to transport tomatoes, firstly, two limit frame assemblies 2 need to be connected together through the distance adjustment assembly 3 to form a group, and the adjustment rod 32 is connected to the connecting block 33 through the card slot 35. By changing the card slot 35 on the adjustment rod 32 and the card block 34 on the connecting block 33, the distance between the two groups of limit frame assemblies 2 is adjusted to a suitable position. At this time, the tomatoes can be placed between the two limit frame assemblies 21 and supported by the bottom support assembly 4. When a group of limit frame assemblies 2 is full, it can be placed in the transport frame 1;
[0045] The mounting rods 27 are fixed to the support rods 23 at the head end and the tail end, and the abutment plates 28 are provided on the outer sides of the abutment plates 28. At the same time, a limiting groove 29 is fixed next to the abutment plates 28, and the limiting groove 29 matches the limiting block 210. The upper limiting grooves 29 and the limiting blocks 210 of two limiting frame assemblies 2 in a group are in opposite positions, so that when multiple groups of limiting frame assemblies 2 are arranged together, the limiting blocks 210 in one group can be inserted into the limiting grooves 29 of another group to form a connection, and then the multiple groups of limiting frame assemblies 2 can be neatly stacked and placed in the transport frame 1 in this way.
