Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product storage equipment technology, and in particular to a storage device for extending the shelf life of agricultural products. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural products are easily affected by environmental humidity and temperature during storage, especially in extremely cold or rainy regions. Excessive humidity or low temperature can lead to mold, pests, and other problems, directly impacting their shelf life and market value. Traditional agricultural product storage equipment is mostly static, and uneven humidity or inadequate temperature control can cause some areas to become damp or underheated. This not only reduces the quality of stored agricultural products but also increases the difficulty and cost of subsequent processing.

[0003] Currently used agricultural product storage technologies typically rely on a single temperature control device for environmental regulation. However, because agricultural products are stored statically within the equipment, it is difficult to achieve uniform heating and humidity control across all surfaces. Furthermore, while some equipment incorporates turning or drying functions, the turning methods are limited and the coverage area is insufficient, resulting in incomplete treatment and failing to effectively address mold and pest problems during storage. Simultaneously, traditional equipment exhibits poor adaptability to various climatic conditions, and efficient solutions are still lacking for storing agricultural products in extreme climates. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a storage device for extending the shelf life of agricultural products.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a storage device for extending the shelf life of agricultural products, comprising: a base, a support foot fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, a storage box fixedly connected to the upper end of the support foot, a push plate movably connected to one outer wall of the upper end of the storage box, a temperature control component fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box, a roller provided on the side of the temperature control component away from the storage box, a cover plate snapped onto one side of the outer wall of the roller, a second connecting rod fixedly connected to one outer wall of one side of the cover plate, a limit rod fixedly connected to one outer wall of the upper end of the second connecting rod, a first turntable movably connected to one side of the second connecting rod, a connecting belt movably connected to the first turntable, a second turntable movably connected to the side of the connecting belt away from the first turntable, a rotating rod fixedly connected to one side of the second turntable, and a motor movably connected to the side of the rotating rod away from the second turntable.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a first connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the roller, and a rotating block is fixedly connected to the side of the first connecting rod away from the roller.

A first limiting block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base, a second limiting block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base, and a third limiting block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base.

[0007] In one preferred embodiment, a second limiting block is provided on one side of the upper outer wall of the base, which is movably connected to the second connecting rod and the outer wall of the limiting rod.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting member is slidably connected to one side of the inner wall of the groove opened on the outer wall of the rotating block.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a third limiting block is provided on the outer wall of one side of the upper end of the base and is movably connected to a rotating rod provided on the side of the motor.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the first turntable and the second turntable are movably connected by a connecting belt.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the storage box is hexagonal, and each inner wall is provided with a temperature control component, which is connected to the outer wall of the drum.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the push plate on the upper outer wall of the storage box is correspondingly connected to the cover plate on one side of the outer wall of the roller.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In use, this utility model combines the rotation of the roller with its lateral reciprocating movement. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the limiting component, it achieves multi-dimensional turning of agricultural products, ensuring that all parts of the product can fully contact the temperature control function for more comprehensive processing.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a storage device for extending the shelf life of agricultural products, comprising: a base 1, a support leg 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, a storage box 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support leg 2, a push plate 4 movably connected to the outer wall of one side of the upper end of the storage box 3, a temperature control component 20 fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box 3, a roller 5 provided on the side of the temperature control component 20 away from the storage box 3, the inner wall of the storage box 3 is hexagonal, and the inner wall is provided with temperature control components 20, the temperature control components 20 are correspondingly connected to the outer wall of the roller 5, a cover plate 6 is snapped onto one side of the outer wall of the roller 5, and the upper outer wall of the storage box 3 is provided with... The push plate 4 is correspondingly connected to the cover plate 6 on one side of the outer wall of the roller 5. A second connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the cover plate 6. A limit rod 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the second connecting rod 11. A first turntable 12 is movably connected to one side of the second connecting rod 11. A connecting belt 13 is movably connected to the first turntable 12. A second turntable 14 is movably connected to the side of the connecting belt 13 away from the first turntable 12. The first turntable 12 and the second turntable 14 are movably connected through the connecting belt 13. A rotating rod 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the second turntable 14. A motor 16 is movably connected to the side of the rotating rod 15 away from the second turntable 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, conventional agricultural products such as beans, barley, and wheat, when stored for a long time, are susceptible to insect infestation due to humid environments, leading to damage and rendering them inedible. Therefore, they need to be frequently sun-dried. However, in extremely cold regions or areas with heavy rainfall, sunlight may be absent for months, preventing the sterilization and insecticidal effects on the affected agricultural products, rendering them inedible. Therefore, a base 1 is designed, with a storage box 3 fixedly connected to its upper end via support legs 2. A push plate 4 is movably connected to the outer wall of the upper side of the storage box 3 via a connecting shaft. The push plate 4 can be flipped to retrieve agricultural products into the storage box 3. The inner wall of the storage box 3 has a cavity and a roller 5, which is smaller than the inner cavity of the storage box 3 and can move laterally within the storage box 3. A cover plate 6 is provided on the outer wall of the roller 5, connected to the roller 5 via a snap-fit. Both the inner cavity of the storage box 3 and the roller 5 are hexagonal. By opening the cover plate 6, agricultural products can be stored and retrieved from the drum 5. A second connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the drum 5. A first turntable 12 is movably connected to one side of the second connecting rod 11 via a limiting rod 21. The first turntable 12 is connected to a second turntable 14 via a connecting belt 13. The second turntable 14 is movably connected to a motor 16 via a rotating rod 15. Therefore, when the motor 16 is started, the motor 16 will drive the rotating rod 15 and the second turntable 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the first turntable 12 to rotate via the connecting belt 13. The second connecting rod 11 can rotate under the action of the limiting rod 21 and the first turntable 12. At this time, the drum 5 welded to one side of the second connecting rod 11 will rotate. At this time, the temperature is regulated by the temperature control component 20 as needed. The rotation of the drum 5 will cause the agricultural products inside to turn over, preventing them from piling up. Through the action of the temperature control component 20, the shelf life can be extended.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 1-3 and Figure 5 As shown, a first connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the roller 5. A rotating block 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the first connecting rod 7 away from the roller 5. A groove 9 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating block 8. A limiting member 10 is provided at the lower end of the rotating block 8. The limiting member 10 is slidably connected to one side of the inner wall of the groove 9 on the outer wall of the rotating block 8. A first limiting block 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base 1. A second limiting block 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base 1. The second limiting block 18 provided on one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base 1 is movably connected to the outer wall of the second connecting rod 11 and the limiting rod 21. A third limiting block 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base 1. The third limiting block 19 provided on one side of the outer wall of the upper end of the base 1 is movably connected to the rotating rod 15 provided on one side of the motor 16.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the other side of the roller 5, and a rotating block 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the first connecting rod 7. A groove 9 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating block 8. The first connecting rod 7 can be supported by a first limiting block 17. A limiting member 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the first limiting block 17, and the limiting member 10 is slidably connected to the groove 9 on the outer wall of the rotating block 8. A second connecting rod 11 can be movably connected to a second limiting block 18. The second limiting block 18 and the first limiting block 17 can support the second connecting rod 11. The first connecting rod 7 is connected to the roller 5 for support, and the groove 9 on the outer wall of the rotating block 8 has a reversing function. Therefore, when the second connecting rod 11 drives the roller 5 to rotate, the first connecting rod 7 on the other side of the roller 5 will drive the rotating block 8 to rotate. At this time, due to the action of the groove 9 and the limiting member 10, the roller 5 will move laterally back and forth on one side of the inner wall of the storage box 3. This allows the agricultural products inside the roller 5 to not only tumble, but also turn laterally, so that the agricultural products inside the roller 5 can be dehumidified and killed from all directions.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this device is specifically designed for long-term storage of agricultural products. Through the collaboration of a series of mechanical and temperature control components, it effectively solves the problem of insect infestation in agricultural products in humid environments, making it particularly suitable for extremely cold or rainy regions. The core structure of the device includes a base 1, a storage box 3, a roller 5, and drive and temperature control components, designed to turn, dehumidify, and kill insects in agricultural products, thereby extending their shelf life.

[0036] The storage box 3 is fixed to the base 1 by support feet 2. A movable push plate 4 is located on the top of the box for easy access to or storage of agricultural products. Inside the storage box 3 is a movable roller 5, which is separate from the box body. A cover 6 is located on one side of the roller 5 and is secured with clips for easy opening and loading / unloading of agricultural products. A certain gap is maintained between the roller 5 and the inner wall of the storage box 3, and the roller 5 is designed with a hexagonal structure to better tumble the internal materials when it rotates, preventing the accumulation of agricultural products.

[0037] One side of the roller 5 is connected to the drive system via a second connecting rod 11. The drive system includes a motor 16, a rotating rod 15, two-stage turntables, and a connecting belt 13. After the motor 16 is started, the rotating rod 15 drives the second turntable 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the first turntable 12 to move via the connecting belt 13. The rotation of the first turntable 12 is transmitted to the second connecting rod 11, causing it to drive the roller 5 to rotate along the central axis. At the same time, the temperature control component 20 is activated to precisely adjust the temperature inside the roller 5 as needed to achieve drying and insecticidal effects.

[0038] To further improve the processing effect, the other side of the roller 5 is connected to the rotating block 8 via the first connecting rod 7. The outer wall of the rotating block 8 is provided with a sliding groove 9, which cooperates with the limiting member 10 to achieve lateral reciprocating movement while the roller 5 rotates. The design of the first limiting block 17 and the second limiting block 18 not only provides support but also ensures the smooth movement of the roller 5 inside the storage box 3. The special folding structure of the sliding groove 9 allows the roller 5 to slide back and forth between the inner walls, thereby ensuring that the agricultural products inside the roller 5 are tumbled and then laterally turned. This all-round movement mode allows the surface of the agricultural products to be fully exposed to the temperature control effect, achieving efficient dehumidification and insecticidal effects.

[0039] Overall, this device, through the combination of the rotation and lateral movement of the drum 5, along with a precise temperature control system, ensures that agricultural products are heated evenly during storage, preventing mold or pests caused by accumulation or excessive humidity, thus greatly improving the storage quality and usability of agricultural products.

[0040] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples; within the framework of the present invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in the details for the sake of brevity.

[0041] This utility model is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
