Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of edible fungus transportation, in particular to a refrigerated transportation device for edible fungi. Background Art

[0002] Edible fungi are rich in protein, amino acids, and other nutrients. Furthermore, dishes prepared with them are incredibly delicious and can be prepared in a variety of ways. Consequently, edible fungi are widely popular among consumers, spawning a massive market for edible fungi cultivation. To effectively expand the edible fungi market and ensure consumers enjoy fresh edible fungi, insured transportation is crucial.

[0003] Due to the unique physiological characteristics of edible fungi, their cells remain active even after harvest. To maintain their vital activities, their metabolism is primarily catabolism after harvest, a primary cause of wilting and softening during transportation. Catabolism is primarily driven by respiration and transpiration. Respiration is significantly affected by temperature; a moderate decrease in temperature weakens respiration. Similarly, a lower temperature also reduces transpiration. Furthermore, transpiration causes fungi to continuously lose water, and reducing the humidity saturation difference between the fungi and the surrounding environment also reduces transpiration. Therefore, edible fungi require sealed packaging during transportation to leverage their own transpiration to reduce the humidity saturation difference. Consequently, edible fungi are primarily transported in sealed refrigerated containers. In practice, these are often transported in foam boxes, which are wrapped with tape to ensure a tight seal.

[0004] However, the aforementioned requirements conflict with the transportation needs of refrigerated trucks. The reason is that refrigerated truck transportation requires good ventilation between the goods in the cargo box to fully reduce the temperature around the goods. However, the sealed transportation requirements of edible fungi result in the edible fungi being stacked in the cargo box, which easily blocks the air circulation inside the cargo box. As a result, the edible fungi located inside cannot be fully blown by the cold air generated by the refrigerated truck, which leads to the occurrence of hot spots. That is, the temperature of the edible fungi inside is relatively high and cannot meet the requirements of refrigerated transportation. This is extremely unfavorable for the long-distance transportation of edible fungi. Utility Model Content

After the storage box is placed, multiple of the devices are stacked in the cargo box of the refrigerated truck. Under the support of the support plates, the two adjacent storage boxes are not completely fitted together, but there is a gap.

[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0022] A refrigerated transportation device for edible fungi includes: a storage box 1, a support structure 2, and a support plate 3. The storage box 1 includes an upper cover 11, a box body 12, and a sealing gasket 13. The upper cover 11 corresponds to the box body 12. The box body 12 is used to carry the edible fungi to be transported. The sealing gasket 13 is arranged between the upper cover 11 and the box body 12. Sealing grooves 131 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the sealing gasket 13, and the sealing grooves 131 correspond to the upper cover 11 and the box body 12 respectively. Thus, the sealing gasket 13 can be installed on the box body 12 through one of the sealing grooves 131, and the upper cover 11 can be buckled on the box body 12 through the other sealing groove 131. Thus, the gap passage between the upper cover 11 and the box body 12 is transformed from a straight line into a broken line containing multiple right-angle corners through the sealing gasket 13, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the storage box 1. On the one hand, it prevents external impurities from entering the box body 12 through the gap between the upper cover 11 and the box body 12, and prevents water vapor in the box body 12 from escaping into the air through the gap between the upper cover 11 and the box body 12. On the other hand, it can position the upper cover 11 and the box body 12 to a certain extent, preventing the upper cover 11 and the box body 12 from separating due to bumps during transportation. At the same time, there is no need to use tape to seal the upper cover 11 and the box body 12, thereby reducing the generation of white waste. As a preferred embodiment, the upper cover 11 and the box body 12 are made of foam material, and the sealing gasket 13 is made of rubber material.

[0023] There are multiple support structures 2 to surround the storage box 1. Preferably, the storage box 1 is an approximately rectangular structure, and there are four support structures 2, which are respectively arranged at the four corner ends of the storage box 1. The support structure 2 includes a support plate 21. In the same support structure 2, there are two support plates 21, and the two support plates 21 are cross-arranged to correspond to the corner ends of the storage box 1. Preferably, the support plates 21 are arranged in a cross-shaped manner. A plug-in protrusion 212 is provided at the end of the support plate 21 close to the ground, and a plug-in groove 213 is provided at the end of the support plate 21 away from the ground. The plug-in protrusion 212 corresponds to the plug-in groove 213. Therefore, by inserting the plug-in protrusion 212 of one support structure 2 into the plug-in groove 213 of another support structure 2, the two support structures 2 can be stacked up and down. A limit plate 214 is also provided on the support plate 21 . The limit plate 214 is provided on a side of the support plate 21 close to the storage box 1 , so that when the storage box 1 is placed between the support structures 2 , the limit plate 214 can fit with the box body 12 .

[0024] The support plate 3 is a rectangular plate-shaped structure. The support plate 3 is arranged on the side of the box body 12 close to the ground. The support plate 3 corresponds to the support structure 2 one by one and is connected to the support plate 21. A connecting plate 31 is provided on the support plate 3. The connecting plate 31 is arranged along the circumference of the storage box 1, that is, the connecting plate 31 corresponds to the edge of the storage box 1. One end of the connecting plate 31 is connected to the support plate 3, and the other end is connected to another adjacent support plate 3. A gap is provided between the outer edge of the connecting plate 31 and the outer edge of the storage box 1. At the same time, a gap is provided between the support plate 3 and the end of the support plate 21 close to the ground, and the height of the support plate 21 is greater than the height of the storage box 1. When the device is placed on the ground, there is a certain gap between the support plate 3 and the ground, correspondingly. There is a certain gap between the connecting plate 31 and the ground.

[0025] In actual use, the sealing gasket 13 is pre-installed on the box body 12, so that the box body 12 is embedded in the sealing groove 131 of the sealing gasket 13. The harvested edible fungi are neatly stacked in the box body 12. After stacking, the upper cover 11 is buckled onto the sealing gasket 13, so that the upper cover 11 is embedded in the other sealing groove 131 of the sealing gasket 13. In this way, the upper cover 11, the box body 12, and the sealing gasket 13 are combined to form a sealed storage box 1.

[0026] Place the assembled storage box 1 between the support structures 2, and slowly lower the storage box 1 until the side of the storage box 1 close to the ground is in contact with the support plate 3. At this time, the box body 12 is in contact with the limiting plate 214, and under the limiting action of the limiting plate 214, the storage box 1 is located in the central area. Each supporting structure 2 corresponds to the top corner end of the storage box 1. At the same time, the outer edge of the sealing gasket 13 is in contact with the support plate 21. Because there is a gap between the support plate 3 and the end of the support plate 21 close to the ground, and the height of the support plate 21 is higher than the storage box 1, there is a certain gap between the storage box 1 and the ground. On the other hand, the sealing gasket 13 itself has a certain thickness, and the sealing gasket 13 is in contact with the support plate 21, so there is a certain gap between the storage box 1 and the support plate 21. Therefore, the aforementioned gap can be used to facilitate the circulation of air around.

[0027] By repeating the above process, multiple devices can be used to carry a large number of edible fungi. When multiple devices need to be stacked together, the plug-in protrusion 212 of one support structure 2 is inserted into the plug-in slot 213 of another support structure 2, and the two devices can be stacked together. The support plates 21 of the two support structures 2 are attached to each other so that the vents 211 on the two support plates 21 correspond to each other, thereby forming a ventilation channel for surrounding air circulation. In this way, the two devices can be stacked together in the same plane. In the above method, several devices can be neatly stacked in the cargo box of a refrigerated truck. After the stacking is completed, under the support of the support structure 2, there are several gaps around the storage box 1 and several ventilation channels. In this way, the cold air generated by the refrigerated truck can fully circulate around the storage box 1, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of hot spots and thus preventing the quality of edible fungi from deteriorating during long-distance transportation.

[0028] When the edible fungi are transported to a designated processing plant and need to be removed from the storage box 1, the device can be placed on the ground. Because there is a gap between the outer edge of the connecting plate 31 and the outer edge of the box body 12, and there is a certain gap between the connecting plate 31 and the ground, a worker can insert a hand or other tool between the connecting plate 31 and the ground and touch the outer edge of the box body 12. At the same time, because the support plate 21 is provided with a ventilation hole 211, the worker can step into the ventilation hole 211 and thus step on the support plate 21. This makes it easier for the worker to remove the storage box 1 from between the support structures 2.

[0029] Once the storage box 1 is removed, the upper cover 11 can be opened, the sealing gasket 13 removed, and the edible fungi transported to a designated location via the box body 12 for subsequent processing. The remaining components can then be immediately transported to the next location. Alternatively, the device can be directly transported to a designated location and the upper cover 11 opened to await subsequent processing. This makes the present invention easy to operate and allows for the recycling of all components, significantly reducing material waste.

Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
