Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit ripening technology, and in particular to a device for ripening jackfruit. Background Technology

[0002] The ripening device used for jackfruit is an ethylene ripening device. Its function is to promote the ripening process of jackfruit by releasing ethylene gas. Ethylene, as a plant hormone, can stimulate and promote the post-ripening process of climacteric fruits. This principle has been applied as a commercial post-harvest treatment method for ripening harvested fruits and vegetables.

[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN217161029U" mentions "This utility model discloses a ripening device for jackfruit, including a ripening box. The front of the ripening box is rotatably connected to a door. Each of the four corners of the ripening box has a column, and multiple mesh racks are vertically and slidably connected to the columns. Each mesh rack includes a central metal mesh and an outer rectangular frame. The rectangular frame has through holes for the columns to pass through. A limiting mechanism connects the rectangular frame and the columns. Multiple spray pipes are provided on the lower end of the mesh racks. Multiple atomizing nozzles are provided on both the upper and lower sides of each spray pipe. One end of each spray pipe is connected via a flexible hose." The device includes a delivery pump connected to a storage tank via a hose. The storage tank contains ethylene solvent. During use, workers can adjust the distance between two adjacent mesh racks according to the size of the jackfruit, making full use of the space inside the ripening box, which is highly practical. However, when ripening jackfruit, the fixed mesh racks prevent all jackfruit from coming into contact with ethylene gas, resulting in uneven ripening and preventing complete ripening.

[0004] Therefore, we provide a device for ripening jackfruit to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a device for ripening jackfruit, including a support leg 1 and a working chamber 2. The upper end of the support leg 1 is fixedly connected to the working chamber 2, a protective door 3 is rotatably connected to one side of the working chamber 2, and a rotating placement component 12 is provided on the inner side of the working chamber 2.

[0025] Furthermore, an ethylene storage chamber 4 is fixedly connected to the other side of the working chamber 2. An ethylene injection port 5 is provided on one side of the ethylene storage chamber 4. A transmission pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the ethylene storage chamber 4. A distribution chamber 7 is fixedly connected to the other end of the transmission pipe 6. An ethylene injection nozzle 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the distribution chamber 7. Multiple sets of ethylene injection nozzles 8 are evenly distributed. Ethylene gas is injected into the ethylene storage chamber 4 through the ethylene injection port 5. Then, the ethylene in the ethylene storage chamber 4 is transferred to the distribution chamber 7 through the transmission pipe 6. Finally, the distribution chamber 7 injects the ethylene gas into the working chamber 2 through the ethylene injection nozzle 8 to ripen the jackfruit.

[0026] Furthermore, a support base 9 is provided on the outside of the working chamber 2, and a drive motor 10 is provided on the upper end of the support base 9. One end of the drive motor 10 is connected to a torque converter 11 via a flat key. The drive motor 10 provides rotational power, which is transmitted to the connecting rotating plate 1201 through the torque converter 11, so that the jackfruit placed on the rotating placement component 12 can rotate continuously during the ripening process, ensuring uniform ripening effect.

[0027] Furthermore, a connecting rotating plate 1201 is provided on the inner side of the working chamber 2. A rotating shaft 1202 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting rotating plate 1201. A connecting block 1203 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rotating plate 1201. A movable connecting rod 1204 is provided on the surface of the connecting block 1203. A placement chamber 1205 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable connecting rod 1204. Under the action of the drive motor 10, the connecting rotating plate 1201 is driven to rotate. During the rotation of the placement chamber 1205, since the movable connecting rod 1204 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting block 1203, the placement chamber 1205 will ensure that the bottom surface of the placement chamber is always facing downwards, preventing the jackfruit inside from falling out. At the same time, it helps to ensure that each jackfruit can be evenly exposed to ethylene gas and other environmental conditions, thereby achieving the best ripening effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the torque converter 11 passes through the working chamber 2 and forms a transmission structure with the connecting rotating plate 1201. The inner side of the torque converter 11 is composed of multiple sets of gears. The drive motor 10 transmits power to the torque converter 11, which can make the rotating placement assembly 12 maintain a uniform speed during rotation, preventing excessively fast or slow rotation.

[0029] Furthermore, a ventilation fan 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working chamber 2, and an adjustable ventilation baffle 14 is provided on the other side of the ventilation fan 13. There are two sets of both the ventilation fan 13 and the adjustable ventilation baffle 14. These two components work together to control the air circulation in the working chamber 2. The ventilation fan 13 helps to mix ethylene gas and air, while the adjustable ventilation baffle 14 can adjust the ventilation volume as needed to maintain appropriate gas concentration and humidity.

[0030] Furthermore, a temperature control device 15 is fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the working chamber 2. A flow fan 16 is installed below the temperature control device 15, and a filter screen 17 is installed below the flow fan 16. An opening plate 18 is installed at the lower end of the filter screen 17. The temperature control device 15 ensures that the ripening process is carried out within an ideal temperature range. The flow fan 16 helps guide the airflow. The filter screen 17 can capture any impurities or particles, ensuring a clean internal environment. The opening plate 18 is used by the flow fan 16 to drive air into the device and blow hot air upwards.

[0031] Working principle: A jackfruit ripening device is moved to the working position. In use, firstly, the jackfruit to be ripened is placed in the placement chamber 1205 of the rotating placement assembly 12. An appropriate amount of ethylene gas is injected into the ethylene receiving chamber 4 through the ethylene injection port 5. The drive motor 10 is started, and the motor transmits power to the connecting rotating plate 1201 through the torque converter 11, causing the rotating placement assembly 12 to start rotating. At this time, the jackfruit in the placement chamber 1205 will rotate with the assembly, but its bottom surface will always remain facing downwards to prevent it from falling. The temperature control device 15 is activated to adjust to the ideal temperature for jackfruit ripening and maintain it constant. Secondly, ethylene gas is transported from the ethylene receiving chamber 4 to the ethylene receiving chamber 4 through the transmission pipe 6. The ethylene gas is distributed into the working chamber 2 via the evenly distributed ethylene injection nozzles 8. The ventilation fan 13 is activated to help mix the ethylene gas and air, ensuring uniform gas distribution. The adjustable ventilation baffle 14 is adjusted according to the actual situation to control the ventilation volume and maintain appropriate gas concentration and humidity. In the third step, the duct fan 16 drives the airflow to promote the rise of hot air. At the same time, the filter screen 17 captures impurities or particulate matter in the air to ensure a clean internal environment. The filtered air re-enters the working chamber 2 through the perforated plate 18, forming a good air circulation system. When the predetermined ripening time is reached, all operations are stopped, the protective door 3 is opened, and the ripened jackfruit is taken out. This completes the use of a jackfruit ripening device.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
