Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of live seafood transportation, and particularly to a modular live seafood transportation box. Background Art

[0002] Different live seafood is adapted to different breeding areas. For commercial sales, it is necessary to transport live seafood from the breeding area to target locations such as the market by a transport vehicle. During transportation, in order to ensure the survival rate of fish, specially designed transport vehicles are required, which are equipped with a constant temperature and water control system, an oxygenation device, and a filtration system. Fish are usually placed in a water tank inside the transport vehicle, and an oxygen pipe is connected to the water tank to ensure sufficient oxygen, clean water quality, and control the water temperature within an appropriate range, so as to minimize the stress response during transportation.

[0003] Currently, the development of live seafood e-commerce for instant delivery is in good momentum. Customers often choose mixed orders when purchasing, and each order may include different types of live seafood. The needs of different customers also vary. Collectively, they form a demand for live seafood with small batches and multiple varieties. Therefore, it is necessary to transport various live seafood to the warehouse of the platform by a transport vehicle in advance and then sell them. However, since the demand for each type of live seafood is small, while the demand for the types of live seafood is large, and the space inside a conventional transport vehicle is limited and the water tank size specifications are unified, which is more suitable for transporting live seafood with few types and large quantities. Therefore, this transportation method is not suitable for the transportation needs of the instant delivery live seafood platform and is prone to waste of transportation capacity.

[0004] To meet the needs of the e-commerce platform, there are currently specially designed transport vehicles with water storage tanks welded or bolted inside the vehicle, and the water storage tanks are separated into multiple small compartments by welding acrylic plates or other partitions to transport different types of live seafood products. This design does not have a heat preservation function, and a large amount of ice is placed in the water storage tank for heat preservation. However, since it is difficult to disassemble the acrylic plate after welding, when it is necessary to change the type of live seafood to be transported, it can only adapt to the existing separated water storage tank, resulting in low flexibility and still having room for optimization. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to improve the flexibility of the transport vehicle when transporting live seafood, this application provides a modular live seafood transportation box.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] An embodiment of the present application discloses a modular live seafood transportation box. Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the modular live seafood transportation box includes an upper box body 1 and a lower box body 2 that are detachably connected up and down. Four corners at the lower end of the lower box body 2 are integrally formed with lower support feet 22, so that when the live seafood transportation box is placed, there is a certain space between the bottom wall of the lower box body 2 and the ground. The upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 can be non-insulated live seafood transportation box plates, or both can be integrally formed insulation boxes, and the insulation box is successively a polyurethane foam layer, a rigid polyurethane foam board layer, and a polyethylene layer from the inside to the outside. The embodiment of the present application shows an example where both are insulation boxes.

[0030] An upper accommodation cavity 11 is formed at the upper end of the upper box body 1, a lower accommodation cavity 21 is formed at the upper end of the lower box body 2, and a storage area 3 communicating with the outside is formed at the upper end opening of the lower box body 2. Water outlet holes 4 are respectively formed through the bottom wall of the upper box body 1 and the bottom ends of the side walls of the lower box body 2, and a hole plug 41 is detachably connected to the water outlet hole 4.

[0031] In a specific implementation manner, the upper end of the lower box body 2 is concave, and the upper box body 1 is embedded in the upper end of the lower box body 2, but the width of the upper box body 1 is smaller than the width of the lower box body 2, that is, the bottom wall of the upper box body 1 cannot completely cover the upper end opening of the lower box body 2, thereby forming the storage area 3.

[0032] In the second specific implementation manner, upper support feet 12 are integrally formed and protruded on the left and right sides at the lower end of the upper box body 1, and positioning blocks 13 are integrally formed at the lower ends of the upper support feet 12. The upper support feet 12 on both sides of the upper box body 1 respectively support on the left and right sides of the upper end of the lower box body 2. A slot 23 for inserting the positioning block 13 is formed at the upper end of the lower box body 2. The setting of the upper support feet 12 makes there be a space between the bottom wall of the upper box body 1 and the upper end opening of the lower box body 2. At the same time, the width of the upper box body 1 is smaller than the width of the lower box body 2, that is, the bottom wall of the upper box body 1 cannot completely cover the upper end opening of the lower box body 2, thereby forming the storage area 3.

[0033] In the third specific implementation manner, the upper support feet 12 and the positioning blocks 13 are still integrally formed at the lower end of the upper box body 1, the slot 23 is still formed at the upper end of the lower box body 2, and at the same time, the width of the upper box body 1 is the same as that of the lower box body 2, and the empty area between the bottom wall of the upper box body 1 and the upper end opening of the lower box body 2 is used as the storage area 3.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the second specific embodiment is taken as an example for illustration. Tie holes 5 are provided on the side walls of the upper support feet 12 and the upper side walls of the upper ends of the lower boxes 2. A cable tie 51 is detachably connected in the tie hole 5. The cable tie 51 binds the adjacent upper and lower tie holes 5 at the same time, so as to fix the upper box 1 above the lower box 2.

[0035] A upper partition plate 14 that divides the upper accommodation cavity 11 in the front-back direction is integrally formed in the middle of the upper box 1. At least one water outlet hole 4 is provided on both the left and right sides of the upper partition plate 14; a lower partition plate 24 that divides the lower accommodation cavity 21 in the front-back direction is integrally formed in the middle of the lower box 2. Similarly, at least one water outlet hole 4 is provided on both the left and right sides of the lower partition plate 24. Water level lines 25 are integrally formed on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the lower box 2.

[0036] A water tank cover 6 is rotatably covered at the rear side of the upper end of the upper box 1 through a rotating shaft. Vent holes 61 are penetrated on the surface of the water tank cover 6, and a plurality of hanging holes 62 are penetrated on the left side of the water tank cover 6. The water tank cover 6 can be used for an oxygen tube to be inserted into the upper accommodation cavity 11. The shape of the water tank cover 6 can be designed so that there is an insertion hole 63 for the oxygen supply tube between the corner of the water tank cover 6 and the inner wall of the upper box 1; alternatively, an insertion hole 63 can be provided on the surface of the water tank cover 6. The former is taken as an example for illustration in the present application.

[0037] The implementation principle of a modular live seafood transportation box in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: both the upper box 1 and the lower box 2 are designed to be "divided into two small accommodation cavities on the left and right", that is, a total of four accommodation cavities. Different water body conditions can be maintained in the four accommodation cavities, and heat preservation is carried out together. The upper box 1 and the lower box 2 are fixed by tying with a cable tie 51, and the disassembly is simple. It can be assembled according to specific transportation requirements, so that in a modular live seafood transportation box, at most four kinds of live seafood can be accommodated, and at least one kind of live seafood can be accommodated, and the transportation flexibility is higher.

[0038] The bottom wall of the upper box 1 is used to prevent the live seafood in the lower box 2 from jumping out, and the water tank cover 6 is used to prevent the live seafood in the upper box 1 from jumping out. A placement area 3 for taking and placing live seafood is always formed at the upper end of the lower box 2; at the same time, a hanging hole 62 is reserved on one side of the water tank cover 6. If it is necessary to keep the water tank cover 6 turned up, a rope can be tied in the hanging hole 62 and the rope can be hung on a fixed object on the side wall of the transport vehicle, so that it is convenient to take and place live seafood in both the upper and lower boxes 2.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] Refer to Figure 4 Embodiment 2 is only different from Embodiment 1 in that in Embodiment 2, the upper box 1 is still divided by the upper partition plate 14, but the lower box 2 is not divided. That is, the upper box 1 can be divided into two accommodation cavities, and the lower box 2 is one accommodation cavity.

[0041] Embodiment 3

[0042] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is only that in Example 3, the upper box body 1 is not partitioned, while the lower box body 2 is still partitioned by the lower partition plate 24. That is, the upper box body 1 can be divided into one accommodation cavity, and the lower box body 2 is divided into two accommodation cavities.

[0043] The upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 in Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3 can be disassembled and combined for use. Thus, in a modular live seafood transportation box, up to four kinds of live seafood can be accommodated, that is, the version in which both the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 are partitioned; at least one kind of live seafood can be accommodated, for example, if the upper box body 1 is not installed and only the unpartitioned lower box body 2 is used.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
