Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vegetable and fruit preservation, in particular to an ethylene removal device for vegetable and fruit preservation. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, the reason why fruits and vegetables gradually become soft after being harvested is that they produce ethylene, a natural ripening agent, through their own metabolism. It is a plant hormone that can promote the respiration of fruits and vegetables and accelerate maturity and aging. Some people call it "ripening hormone". Especially in closed fruit and vegetable storage packaging or space, ethylene gas gradually accumulates with the extension of storage period, thus producing a self-ripening effect on fruits and vegetables, and continues to circulate, affecting the normal metabolism of fruits and vegetables, promoting the aging process of fruits and vegetables, increasing decay, and shortening the storage period of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, controlling the ethylene content in the storage warehouse is very important to ensure the quality of fruits and vegetables, especially for those fruits and vegetables that are very sensitive to ethylene, such as kiwis, persimmons, apples, etc., the ethylene in the storage environment must be removed to below the threshold.
[0003] Common ethylene removal devices on the market now are composed of fans and filter boxes. The air in the cold storage or the atmosphere-controlled storage is passed through the fan into a stuffing box filled with materials that can purify ethylene. However, this stuffing box is usually filled with a large amount of stuffing, which greatly increases the production cost, and the workload is large when replacing the stuffing, which is inconvenient to replace.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The ethylene removal device for preserving fruits and vegetables comprises a shell 1 placed on the ground, a high-pressure fan 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1, an exhaust pipe 3 is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1, a uniformly distributed top fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the shell 1, a uniformly distributed bottom fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the shell 1, a stuffing box 6 is slidably connected between the top fixing plate 4 and the bottom fixing plate 5 and the inner wall of the shell 1, a stopper 7 is arranged on the outer wall of the top fixing plate 4 and the bottom fixing plate 5, and a sealing door 8 is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1.
[0021] It should be noted that the high-pressure fan 2 and the motor 11 are existing technologies, and the specific model specifications need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it is not repeated here.
[0022] Furthermore, an air inlet pipe 10 is provided at the top air inlet of the high-pressure fan 2, and an air outlet pipe 9 is provided at the air outlet of the high-pressure fan 2.
[0023] The air outlet pipe 9 is arranged in the right cavity of the top fixing plate 4 at the rightmost side of the purification chamber 3, so that the cold air can be transported to the stuffing box 6 below.
[0024] Furthermore, a cross bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 3, a motor 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the cross bracket 12, and a fan blade 13 is provided on the other side of the outer wall of the cross bracket 12, and the fan blade 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11.
[0025] The exhaust pipe 3 passes through the shell 1 and is arranged at the middle end of the left outer wall of the shell 1 .
[0026] Furthermore, a grid frame 14 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the stuffing box 6, and a breathable mesh cloth 15 is installed in the gaps between the grid frames 14. The outer wall of the stuffing box 6 is provided with evenly distributed installation grooves 16.
[0027] Among them, the inner cavity of the stuffing box 6 is usually filled with more efficient removers or adsorbents, such as two-dimensional sheet ethylene removers, ozone-photocatalytic degradation combined devices, etc. A threaded hole is set at the bottom end of the inner wall of the installation groove 16, and the bolt 19 is connected to the threaded hole.
[0028] Furthermore, a protective net 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stuffing box 6 , and evenly distributed mounting blocks 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the protective net 17 . Bolts 19 are threadedly connected to the mounting blocks 18 , and the mounting blocks 18 are slidably connected to the mounting grooves 16 .
[0029] The top fixing plate 4 and the bottom fixing plate 5 are evenly staggered, and a rotating shaft is arranged on the stopper 7, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the top fixing plate 4 and the bottom fixing plate 5 facing outwards.
[0030] Furthermore, a sealing cushion 20 is provided on the side of the sealing door 8 facing the stuffing box 6 .

Then, the motor 11 is started at the same time. The motor 11 drives the fan blades 13 to rotate. The fan blades 13 extract the air inside the shell 1 and discharge it to the outside. The exhaust devices are provided at the head and tail to make the air circulation in the shell 1 smoother.
[0033] When replacing the stuffing box 6, first rotate the stopper 7 to move it to one side to lose the restriction on the stuffing box 6, and then take the stuffing box 6 out of the inside of the housing 1. After taking it out, you can rotate the bolt 19. After the bolt 19 leaves the mounting groove 16, you can take out the protective net 17 and replace the stuffing inside the stuffing box 6, thereby greatly reducing the amount of stuffing used, making replacement and maintenance more convenient and greatly reducing the workload.
