Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to an ecological vegetable harvesting and storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era, people's focus on health has reached an unprecedented level. More and more people recognize the close relationship between diet and health, leading to a continuous increase in demand for organic vegetables. Organic vegetables are typically grown in pollution-free environments without the use of chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and growth regulators, resulting in higher nutritional value and safety. This pursuit of healthy food is driving agricultural production towards a more ecological and sustainable direction, and also creating market demand for organic vegetable harvesting and storage devices.

[0003] Currently, vegetable storage often involves workers observing and handling the vegetables after they are stored. However, for vegetables like tomatoes and eggplants, prolonged contact between one side of the vegetable and the ground or bottom of the container can cause pressure and damage. In such cases, workers usually turn the vegetables over by observation and touch to prevent them from being crushed during long-term storage. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and detrimental to the health of workers and the sustainable development of agriculture.

[0004] To address these issues, we designed an ecological vegetable harvesting and storage device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ecological vegetable harvesting and storage device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an ecological vegetable harvesting and storage device, including a base, an installation box fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, a motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation box, an output shaft provided on one side of the motor, a storage box fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft away from the installation box, a reducer also installed in the installation box, a microcontroller installed in the base, a timing module fixedly connected to the top surface of the microcontroller, and both the microcontroller and the timing module are electrically connected to the motor.

[0007] Furthermore, a drive gear is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor, and a driven gear is meshed with one side of the drive gear. The driven gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output shaft, and the end of the output shaft away from the storage box is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage box includes a mounting plate, and multiple placement plates are provided inside the storage box. Tenons are fixedly connected to both sides of the multiple placement plates. Multiple mortises are opened on the outer wall of one side of the mounting plate. The tenons and mortises are adapted to each other and the tenons are inserted into the mortises.

[0009] Furthermore, the top surface of the placement plate is provided with a mortise, and a tenon plate is installed on the placement plate. The mortise and the tenon plate are adapted to each other, and the tenon plate is installed in the mortise.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the storage box has multiple ventilation openings, which are strip-shaped and evenly distributed on the outer wall of the storage box.

[0012] Furthermore, the storage box has a top plate inside, and threaded holes are provided on both sides of the storage box and the top plate. The threaded holes on the storage box are horizontally aligned with the threaded holes on the top plate. A bolt is threadedly connected between the storage box and the top plate, and the bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The top of the top plate is parallel to the top of the storage box.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of teeth of the driving gear is less than that of the driven gear, and the diameter of the driving gear is less than that of the driven gear.

[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 Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ecological vegetable harvesting and storage device, including a base 1, an installation box 2 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, a motor 201 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation box 2, an output shaft 203 provided on one side of the motor 201, a storage box 3 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft 203 away from the installation box 2, a reducer also installed inside the installation box 2, a microcontroller 101 installed inside the base 1, a timing module 102 fixedly connected to the top surface of the microcontroller 101, and both the microcontroller 101 and the timing module 102 are electrically connected to the motor 201.

[0025] In practical implementation, a mounting box 2 is securely fixed to the top surface of the base 1. This mounting box 2 contains important components. A motor 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 2. An output shaft 203 is mounted on one side of the motor 201, and the end of the output shaft 203 away from the mounting box 2 is fixedly connected to a storage box 3. This means that when the motor 201 operates, it can drive the storage box 3 to perform corresponding actions. Furthermore, a reducer is installed inside the mounting box 2, which can adjust the output speed of the output shaft 203 to meet actual working requirements. A microcontroller 101 is installed inside the base 1, and a timing module 102 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the microcontroller 101. It is worth noting that there is a power connection between the microcontroller 101, the timing module 102, and the motor 201. Through this connection, the microcontroller 101 can control the working state of the motor 201 according to parameters such as time set by the timing module 102, such as starting, stopping, and speed adjustment, thereby realizing the automated and intelligent operation of the entire ecological vegetable harvesting and storage device.

[0026] See Figure 4 As shown, a drive gear 204 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 201. A driven gear 202 is meshed with one side of the drive gear 204. The driven gear 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output shaft 203. The end of the output shaft 203 away from the storage box 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 2. The number of teeth of the drive gear 204 is less than that of the driven gear 202, and the diameter of the drive gear 204 is smaller than that of the driven gear 202.

[0027] In practical implementation, the motor 201 has an important drive end, to which the drive gear 204 is fixedly connected. The output shaft 203, as a key transmission component, is meshed with the driven gear 202 on one side. Furthermore, the driven gear 202 is securely fixed to the outer wall of the output shaft 203. One end of the output shaft 203 serves a supporting and rotating function, and it is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 2. When the motor 201 operates, its drive end drives the drive gear 204 to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship between the drive gear 204 and the driven gear 202, the drive gear 204 drives the driven gear 202 to rotate, thereby causing the output shaft 203 to rotate around its connection point with the inner wall of the mounting box 2. This structural design enables the power transmission of the motor 201, allowing the output shaft 203 to drive the connected storage box 3 to perform corresponding rotational movements, providing the necessary power and movement for certain operations during the harvesting and storage of organic vegetables.

[0028] Meanwhile, the driving gear 204 exhibits specific dimensional characteristics. Specifically, the number of teeth on the driving gear 204 is less than the number of teeth on the driven gear 202, and the diameter of the driving gear 204 is also smaller than the diameter of the driven gear 202. This design has significant meaning and function. In gear transmission, the relationship between the number of teeth and the diameter directly affects the transmission ratio and speed. With fewer teeth and a smaller diameter, when the motor 201 drives the driving gear 204 to rotate, according to the principle of gear transmission, the driven gear 202 will rotate at a relatively slower speed, but the torque will increase accordingly. This design arrangement is very reasonable in the ecological vegetable harvesting and storage device. It allows the rotation of the storage box 3 to be more stable and controllable, avoiding damage or falling of vegetables during storage due to excessive speed. At the same time, the increased torque can better handle potential load conditions, such as when the storage box 3 is full of vegetables, it can still easily rotate, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire device in practical applications.

[0029] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage box 3 includes a mounting plate 301. Multiple placement plates 304 are provided inside the storage box 3. Tenons 303 are fixedly connected to both sides of the multiple placement plates 304. Multiple mortises 302 are opened on the outer wall of one side of the mounting plate 301. The tenons 303 and the mortises 302 are adapted to each other and the tenons 303 are inserted into the mortises 302. The top surface of the placement plate 304 is provided with a groove 305. A tenon plate 306 is installed on the placement plate 304. The groove 305 and the tenon plate 306 are adapted to each other and the tenon plate 306 is installed in the groove 305.

[0030] In practical implementation, multiple placement boards 304 are cleverly arranged inside the storage box 3. These placement boards 304 play a crucial role in classifying and layering vegetables. Tenons 303 are fixedly connected to both sides of each placement board 304, while correspondingly, multiple mortises 302 are provided on the outer wall of one side of the mounting plate 301. The tenons 303 and mortises 302 are matched in size and shape, and during actual assembly, the tenons 303 can be accurately inserted into the mortises 302. Through this tenon-and-mortise connection, a stable connection is achieved between the placement board 304 and the mounting plate 301, allowing the placement board 304 to be reliably installed inside the storage box 3, providing support for the vegetables.

[0031] Furthermore, the top surface of the placement board 304 is provided with a mortise 305 and a tenon 306. Similarly, the mortise 305 and the tenon 306 are mutually compatible, allowing the tenon 306 to be installed within the mortise 305. This design further enhances the functionality and flexibility of the placement board 304. When different types or sizes of vegetables need to be categorized, the spatial layout on the placement board 304 can be adjusted by installing or removing the tenon 306 to better suit the storage needs of the vegetables. For example, larger vegetables can be placed in a larger area without the tenon 306, while smaller vegetables can be placed in a smaller area separated by the tenon 306, thereby improving storage efficiency and neatness, while also helping to protect the vegetables from compression and collision during transportation and storage.

[0032] See Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the storage box 3 has multiple ventilation openings 7, which are strip-shaped and evenly distributed on the outer wall of the storage box 3.

[0033] In practice, these vents 7 have unique shapes and distribution characteristics. The vents 7 are designed in a strip shape, which facilitates air circulation, and they are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the storage box 3. This even distribution ensures that all parts inside the storage box 3 receive good ventilation, preventing vegetables from rotting and spoiling due to poor local ventilation.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the storage box 3 has a top plate 4 inside. Both the storage box 3 and the top plate 4 have threaded holes 6 on both sides. The threaded holes 6 on the storage box 3 are horizontally corresponding to the threaded holes 6 on the top plate 4. The storage box 3 and the top plate 4 are threadedly connected by bolts 8, which are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 6. The top of the top plate 4 is parallel to the top of the storage box 3.

[0035] In practice, a top plate 4 is installed on the top surface of the storage box 3, together forming a relatively enclosed space to better protect the vegetables stored inside. To achieve a secure connection, threaded holes 6 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the storage box 3 and the top plate 4. Bolts 8 are screwed into the corresponding threaded holes 6 of the storage box 3 and the top plate 4, and the tight fit of the threads ensures a reliable connection between the storage box 3 and the top plate 4. This connection method is not only simple and easy to implement, but also has high connection strength, ensuring that the top plate 4 will not easily separate from the storage box 3 during transportation or other operations. This effectively prevents external impurities from entering the interior of the storage box 3, while also providing a stable storage environment for the vegetables inside. It is worth noting that after the connection is completed, the top of the top plate 4 is parallel to the top of the storage box 3, making the entire device more neat and aesthetically pleasing in appearance, and also facilitating stability when stacked or placed.

[0036] See Figure 2 As shown, both the surface of the placement plate 304 and the tenon plate 306 are fixedly connected with buffer pads 5, which are made of elastic material.

[0037] In practice, when the placement plate 304 or tenon plate 306 comes into contact with other components or is subjected to certain pressure, the buffer pad 5 can absorb and mitigate the impact through its own elastic deformation, thereby reducing wear and collision damage between components. The elastic material includes, but is not limited to, foam, corrugated paper, sponge, etc.

[0038] Working principle: After the vegetables are placed in the storage box 3, the program written in the microcontroller 101 and the timer module 102 set on the microcontroller 101 control the motor 201 in the mounting box 2, so that the motor 201 starts within a specified time and rotates a fixed number of times, causing the storage box 3 to rotate one side at regular intervals, preventing the vegetables in the storage box 3 from being crushed due to long-term storage; the motor 201 is set in the mounting box 2, and the mounting box 2 is also equipped with a reducer. When the motor 201 starts, its drive end drives the drive gear 204 to rotate. The driven gear 202, which meshes with the driving gear 204, also rotates. Since the diameter of the driving gear 204 is smaller than that of the driven gear 202, and the number of teeth is also smaller than that of the driven gear 202, the driven gear 202 only rotates a portion of the time while the driving gear 204 rotates one revolution, thus achieving a deceleration effect. The driven gear 202 is fixedly connected to the storage box 3, which drives the storage box 3 to rotate slowly, preventing the vegetables from being bumped and damaged during the turning process. The surfaces of the placement plate 304 and the tenon plate 306 inside the storage box 3 are both equipped with buffer pads 5, which play a role in buffering and protecting the vegetables, further protecting them from bumps and knocks.
