Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of potato storage, in particular to a potato storage device with a drying function. Background Art

[0002] As an important agricultural crop, potatoes are widely grown and consumed around the world. Because potatoes contain a large amount of starch, they need to be stored in storage boxes after picking to prevent them from moldy and affecting sales and secondary processing.

[0003] In the past, simple cellars or warehouses were common ways to store potatoes, but these traditional methods had many defects, such as the lack of effective temperature and humidity control, which easily caused the potatoes to sprout and rot, resulting in huge losses. Therefore, the storage of potatoes has always been an important challenge facing the agricultural field.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the problem that potatoes become damp, sprout, and rot due to lack of effective control of temperature and humidity after storage, a potato storage device with a drying function is developed, which uses a drying mechanism to control the moisture of potatoes to prevent them from sprouting and rotting. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the problem of potatoes sprouting and rotting due to lack of effective control of temperature and humidity after storage.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a potato storage device with a drying function, including a storage box, a sliding rack, a No. 1 sliding groove, a storage plate, a limit plate, a ventilation mechanism and a drying mechanism. The storage box is a box structure with an open front end, and sliding racks are installed on the left and right sides of the storage box. The storage plate is installed on the side opposite to the sliding rack. The storage plate has a No. 1 sliding groove on one side relative to the inner wall of the storage box, and the upper part of the storage plate is slidably connected to the limit plate. The right side of the storage box is provided with a drying mechanism, and the left side of the storage box is provided with a ventilation mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the storage plate slides on the sliding frame through the No. 1 sliding groove, which makes it more convenient to take out and put in the storage plate. The limit plate on the storage plate can prevent the potatoes from rolling during storage and causing the potatoes to fall. After the drying mechanism and the ventilation mechanism are turned on, the moisture of the potatoes can be reduced to prevent the potatoes from sprouting and rotting.

[0008] Preferably, a No. 2 sliding groove is provided on the rear wall of the storage box and is located above the storage plate. A spring is provided on the left side of the No. 2 sliding groove, and a moving block is provided above the spring. An inner cavity is provided in the middle of the storage plate. The limit plate deforms the spring behind the moving block by squeezing the moving block, and then the limit plate slides into the No. 2 sliding groove. After the limit plate enters the sliding groove, the moving block is rebounded back to its original position by the spring after there is no pressure on it, making the disassembly and assembly of the limit plate more convenient and simple. The inner cavity in the middle of the storage plate can store desiccant, sterilization packs, etc., so as to form a good sterile environment in the storage box.

[0009] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes a motor, a blower and a heater. The blower is placed on the right side of the storage box, the motor is installed on the right side of the blower, and the heater is arranged behind the blower. The motor rotates the blower so that the blower delivers cold air into the heater. The heater heats the delivered cold air so that the drying mechanism forms hot air.

[0010] Preferably, the drying mechanism also includes a heat transfer pipe, a through hole and a transverse hole. A heat transfer pipe is provided behind the heater, and a transverse hole is provided on the right wall of the storage box. The heat transfer pipe is inserted into the storage box through the transverse hole. A number of through holes are distributed on the heat transfer pipe in the storage box. Hot air enters the storage box through the heat transfer pipe, and then is evenly distributed into the storage box through the through holes to prevent individual potatoes from being damaged due to being blown by a large amount of hot air.

[0011] Preferably, the ventilation mechanism includes a fan, a ventilation box and a movable plate. The fan is installed under the left wall of the storage box, and a ventilation box is arranged under the outer side of the storage box. The ventilation box is a box structure, and a movable plate is installed on the left side of the ventilation box. The fan rotates to blow the hot air in the storage box to the outside through the ventilation box to prevent overheating in the storage box and damage to the potatoes.

[0012] Preferably, the ventilation mechanism further comprises a No. 1 fixing pin, a No. 1 connecting rod, a No. 2 fixing pin, a No. 2 connecting rod, a No. 3 fixing pin, a No. 3 connecting rod, a support column and a handle, the No. 1 fixing pin is fixedly connected to the rear of the movable plate, the No. 1 fixing pin is rotatably connected to the hole on the left side of the No. 1 connecting rod, the No. 2 fixing pin is installed on the right side of the No. 1 connecting rod, the No. 2 fixing pin coincides with the hole on the No. 2 connecting rod, a No. 3 fixing pin is arranged above the No. 2 connecting rod, the No. 3 fixing pin is rotatably connected to the hole on the No. 3 connecting rod, and a No. 4 fixing pin is arranged on the right side of the No. 3 connecting rod. The No. 4 fixing pin is rotatably connected to the hole on the rotating plate. A support column is installed in the middle of the rotating plate. The support column is fixedly connected to the rear side of the ventilation box. A handle is provided on the right side of the rotating plate. The rotating plate is driven by rotating the handle. The rotating plate then drives the No. 3 connecting rod through the No. 4 fixing pin. The No. 3 connecting rod then rotates the No. 2 connecting rod through the No. 3 fixing pin. The No. 2 connecting rod then rotates the No. 1 connecting rod through the No. 2 fixing pin. The No. 1 connecting rod allows the movable plate to move up and down through the No. 1 fixing pin, so that the ventilation box can be opened and closed, which has a sealing effect on the storage box.

[0013] Preferably, a mounting hole is provided on the upper left wall of the storage box, and a thermometer is inserted into the storage box through the mounting hole. Installing the thermometer on the storage box allows people to intuitively see the specific temperature inside the storage box, thereby preventing potatoes from being damaged due to overheating.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0015] 1. By adding a drying mechanism and a ventilation mechanism outside the storage box, the temperature inside the storage box can be effectively controlled to prevent potatoes from rotting and sprouting due to a humid environment during storage. While effectively controlling the temperature, the storage box can also be sealed.

[0016] 2. Desiccant, sterilization packs and other items can be placed in the inner cavity of the storage plate to provide a good sterile environment for potato storage. A thermometer installed on the storage box can visually view the real-time temperature inside the storage box, which helps to observe the temperature inside the storage box more conveniently.
