Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a storage and transportation device for agricultural products, in particular to a potato storage and transportation box for storing and transporting potatoes. Background Art
[0002] Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other tubers occupy a very important position in my country's food crops. They are high in calories and rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Now, tubers are widely recognized as health products. In recent years, the area of tuber cultivation in my country has steadily increased. In the process of stable and high-yield cultivation, safe storage is an important link in ensuring production. After the sweet potato and potato harvest, there will be a large amount of inventory that cannot be sold in time. At this time, these tubers need to be properly stored to keep them fresh for a long time and prevent them from spoiling too quickly. Due to the lumpy shape of tubers, they contain a lot of water and are difficult to store. If they are not careful, they will deteriorate and rot prematurely. Therefore, the storage conditions and environmental requirements for tubers are relatively strict, and there are certain requirements for temperature, humidity, and bacteria.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN103163293A discloses a sweet potato storage box that can also be used to store potatoes and other tubers. The box comprises a housing and a lid connected to the housing. The housing is internally provided with a suspension frame that divides the housing into an upper and lower compartments. The lower compartment is provided with ventilation openings around the perimeter, and the suspension frame is provided with a metal screen. Placing the sweet potatoes on the suspension frame, which is provided with ventilation openings around the lower compartment, effectively maintains the temperature and humidity inside the storage box, ensuring that the sweet potatoes are stored for a long time. However, when storing sweet potatoes in the above-mentioned sweet potato storage box, the sweet potatoes are randomly stacked on the metal screen. Therefore, the ventilation holes at the bottom can only ventilate and dehumidify the sweet potatoes at the bottom, leaving the sweet potatoes in the middle and upper layers without ventilation. This poor ventilation and dehumidification will cause them to rot, and the sweet potatoes in the middle layer are squeezed by the upper layers, which accelerates the rotting. In addition, because the sweet potatoes are randomly stacked, when a sweet potato becomes moldy and rotten, its bacteria will quickly spread, causing the surrounding sweet potatoes to rot, and then the entire box of sweet potatoes to rot. Therefore, it is very necessary to ventilate and sterilize the sweet potatoes during storage. In addition, currently, sweet potatoes and other potatoes are basically transported by express delivery in cartons. During transportation, on the one hand, the humidity in the cartons is high, which can easily cause mold to grow, causing the potatoes to rot and be covered with mold, which in turn causes conflicts between the buyer and the seller. On the other hand, the potatoes are stacked in these boxes, and when they are shaken during transportation and handling, the potatoes rub against each other, causing them to be damaged, and then rot and spread the rot. Moreover, since these boxes do not have special ventilation structures, the speed of damage and rot is further accelerated.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a potato storage and transportation box that is well-ventilated for potatoes and can be stored and transported in compartments, so as to be better suitable for express transportation and storage and transportation of potatoes. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a potato storage and transportation box which has good ventilation and can be stored and transported in compartments, so as to be more suitable for the rapid transportation and storage of potatoes.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a potato storage and transportation box, which includes a box body, a box lid and a shielding assembly, the box body is a hollow structure and forms a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity is provided with a non-woven fabric structure and criss-crossed partitions, the partitions divide the receiving cavity into a number of storage and transportation compartments arranged in a matrix; the bottom of the box body is a non-woven fabric structure, the bottom of the box body is a hollow structure and forms a filling cavity, the filling cavity is filled with wood ash; the box lid is a rotatably connected cover provided on the box body, and the box lid is provided with a number of rows of ventilation holes; the shielding assembly includes a first adhesive piece and a second adhesive piece that are detachably pasted to each other, the first adhesive piece is provided at both ends of the same row of ventilation holes, the second adhesive piece is a strip structure, the two ends of the second adhesive piece are detachably pasted corresponding to the first adhesive piece, and the second adhesive piece after pasting covers all the ventilation holes in the row.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, in the potato industry, potatoes are usually classified according to their size. The present invention has storage and transportation compartments of different sizes corresponding to the potato size classification; the storage and transportation compartments in the same potato storage and transportation box are exactly the same size. During use, after the harvested potatoes are classified according to their size, a potato storage and transportation box corresponding to the classified potato size is selected for storage and transportation, with a potato placed in each storage and transportation compartment; thus, the stored and transported potato pieces are separated from each other by the storage and transportation compartments, effectively avoiding mutual squeezing between the potato pieces and realizing compartmentalized storage and transportation of the potato pieces. This not only ensures the integrity of the potato piece storage and transportation, but also prevents the bacteria from rapidly spreading to the surrounding area when a potato piece becomes moldy and rotten, causing rot in the surrounding area and the entire box of potato pieces. When the present invention is used, after the storage compartments of the potato storage and transportation box are fully filled with potatoes, the box lid is closed. The ventilation holes on the box lid can effectively ventilate the potatoes stored in the storage compartments, so that each potato tuber stored in the storage compartments can be ventilated without being stacked or squeezed, greatly reducing the risk of potato tubers rotting due to lack of ventilation, thereby improving the efficiency and time of potato tuber storage and transportation. When the environment is dry or humid, the second adhesive piece is straightened and its two ends are correspondingly attached to the first adhesive piece, so that each row of ventilation holes is covered by the second adhesive piece, thereby ensuring that the potatoes stored in the storage compartments are not affected by the harsh external environment, which may cause adverse conditions such as dehydration or moisture, thereby further improving the efficiency and time of potato tuber storage and transportation. The bottom of the box of the utility model is made of non-woven fabric and filled with plant ash. The air permeability of the non-woven fabric structure and the dehumidification and sterilization properties of the plant ash ensure that the potatoes stored in the storage and transportation compartments are kept in a dry and sterile storage and transportation environment, further improving the efficiency and time of potato storage and transportation. It can be seen that the use of the potato storage and transportation box of the utility model to separate potatoes into compartments and store them in independent boxes makes the utility model very convenient for express transportation of potatoes. During the transportation process, the potato storage and transportation box of the utility model can effectively sterilize and dehumidify, ensuring the integrity of the potatoes after transportation to the destination.

[0019] like Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, the potato storage and transportation box 100 of the present invention includes a box body 1 for storing potatoes and storing and transporting them in compartments, a box lid 2 for covering the box body 1 and protecting the potatoes therein, and a shielding assembly 3 for selective ventilation. The box body 1 of the present invention has a hollow structure and forms a receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is provided with non-woven fabric partitions 12 arranged in a criss-cross pattern. The partitions 12 of the present invention divide the receiving cavity 11 into a plurality of storage and transportation compartments 13 arranged in a matrix. The storage and transportation compartments are used to store and transport potatoes, with each storage and transportation compartment 13 storing one potato. At the same time, because the partitions 12 are non-woven fabric, ventilation is achieved. The bottom 14 of the box body 1 of the present invention is a non-woven fabric structure. The bottom 14 of the box body 1 is a hollow structure and forms a filling cavity 14a, which is filled with wood ash. That is, the bottom 14 includes an upper non-woven fabric layer 14b and a lower non-woven fabric layer 14c. The edges of the upper non-woven fabric layer 14b and the lower non-woven fabric layer 14c are sewn or bonded together to form the filling cavity 14a therebetween. Before sewing or bonding, the filling cavity 14a is filled with wood ash. The box lid 2 of the present invention is a rotatably connected cover provided on the box body 1. Specifically, the box lid 2 is rotatably connected to the box body via a hinge structure 4. Furthermore, the hinge structure 4 is preferably a hinge. The box lid 2 of the present invention is provided with a plurality of rows of ventilation holes 21 extending therethrough. The shielding component 3 for shielding the ventilation holes 21 of the present invention includes a first adhesive piece 31 and a second adhesive piece 32 that are detachably adhered to each other. The first adhesive piece 31 is arranged at both ends of the same row of ventilation holes 21, and the second adhesive piece 32 is in a strip-shaped structure. The two ends of the second adhesive piece 32 are detachably adhered to the first adhesive piece 31 respectively. After being adhered, the second adhesive piece 32 covers all the ventilation holes 21 in the row, thereby sealing the ventilation holes 21. When ventilation is needed, the second adhesive piece 32 can be removed. The present invention can effectively realize the management of ventilation and air permeability in the receiving cavity 11 through the shielding component 3.
[0020] Continue to combine Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, in the potato industry, potatoes are usually classified according to their size. The present invention has storage and transportation compartments 13 of different sizes corresponding to the potato size classification; the storage and transportation compartments 13 in the same potato storage and transportation box 100 are exactly the same size. During use, after the harvested potatoes are classified according to their size, a potato storage and transportation box 100 corresponding to the classified potato size is selected for storage and transportation, with a potato placed in each storage and transportation compartment 13; thereby, the stored and transported potato pieces are separated from each other by the storage and transportation compartments 13, effectively avoiding mutual squeezing between the potato pieces and realizing compartmentalized storage and transportation of the potato pieces. This not only ensures the integrity of the potato piece storage and transportation, but also prevents the bacteria from rapidly spreading to the surrounding area when a potato piece becomes moldy and rots, causing rot in the surrounding area and the entire box of potatoes. When the present invention is used, after the storage compartments 13 of the potato storage and transportation box 100 are fully filled with potatoes, the box cover 2 is closed. The ventilation holes 21 provided on the box cover 2 can effectively ventilate the potatoes stored in the storage compartments 13, so that each potato tuber stored in the storage compartments 13 can be ventilated without being stacked or squeezed, greatly reducing the occurrence of potato tuber rot due to lack of ventilation, thereby improving the efficiency and time of potato tuber storage and transportation. When the environment is dry or humid, by straightening the second adhesive member 32 and pasting its two ends to the first adhesive member 31, each row of ventilation holes 21 is covered by the second adhesive member 32, thereby ensuring that the potatoes stored in the storage compartments 13 under the adverse external environment are effectively protected from the adverse external environment, thereby preventing the potatoes from being dehydrated or damp, and further improving the efficiency and time of potato tuber storage and transportation. The bottom 14 of the box 1 of the present invention is a non-woven fabric structure and is filled with plant ash. The air permeability of the non-woven fabric structure and the dehumidification and sterilization properties of the plant ash allow the potatoes stored in the storage compartments 13 to be stored in a dry and sterile environment, further improving the efficiency and time of potato storage and transportation. Thus, the use of the potato storage and transportation box 100 of the present invention to separate and store potatoes in independent compartments makes the present invention very convenient for express delivery of potatoes. During transportation, the potato storage and transportation box of the present invention can effectively sterilize and dehumidify the potatoes, ensuring the integrity of the potatoes after they arrive at the destination.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the second adhesive member 32 of the potato storage and transportation box 100 of the present invention is a flexible structure. This flexibility allows the second adhesive member 32 to be folded or rolled up for storage within the box 1 when not in use, resulting in a simple and practical structure. Specifically, the shielding component of the present invention is preferably a Velcro structure; that is, the first adhesive member 31 comprises either a hook layer or a loop layer, while the second adhesive member 32 comprises the other.
[0022] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, handles 5 are provided on both sides of the box body 1 in the potato storage and transportation box 100 of the present invention. By means of the handles 5, the present invention can be conveniently carried; the handles 5 are preferably made of soft materials such as cloth strips.
[0023] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the storage and transportation grid 21 in the potato storage and transportation box 100 of the present invention is a rectangular structure. The rectangular storage and transportation grid 21 is more scientific and reasonable for storing and transporting potatoes.
[0024] In addition, the standards for classifying potatoes according to size involved in the present invention are well known to ordinary technicians in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0025] The potato storage and transportation box 100 provided by the present invention is particularly suitable for storing and transporting sweet potatoes and potatoes.
[0026] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
