Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of canned food processing, specifically to a loading and unloading cage that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] In canned food processing plants, food needs to be filled into food cans, then the cans are sealed. Before packaging, both the cans and the food inside need to be sterilized. To facilitate the transport of the cans and ensure uniform sterilization, the cans are first loaded into loading cages, which are then transported to a high-temperature sterilization autoclave for high-temperature sterilization. The loading cages require stacking the cans in groups to facilitate the transport and sterilization of large quantities of food at a time. Therefore, before sterilization, the cans must be stacked in the loading cages.

[0003] Existing loading and unloading cages are typically rectangular, consisting mainly of a base and four baffles surrounding the base, connected together by methods such as welding. Storage of these cages requires a significant amount of space, especially when they are not in use. This undoubtedly necessitates a large floor area for the processing plant, thus increasing its workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an easy-to-store loading and unloading cage, which aims to reduce the floor space occupied by the loading and unloading cage when not in use and reduce the burden on the processing plant.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An easy-to-store loading and unloading cage includes a base, a support plate, baffles, and a connecting rod; the base has a lifting hole and a supporting step; the four corners of the base have connecting holes; the support plate is placed on the supporting step; four baffles are detachably connected to the four sides of the base; each side edge of the baffle has multiple slots and multiple locking blocks, and the slots and locking blocks between adjacent baffles are correspondingly locked; the locking blocks have vertical through holes; the connecting rod passes through the locking holes of the locking blocks and is inserted into the connecting holes of the base.

[0007] In some alternative embodiments, the base has a downwardly recessed snap-fit ​​groove around its perimeter; the snap-fit ​​groove has an inwardly extending snap-fit ​​hole; the lower end of the baffle has a downwardly extending snap-fit ​​portion that can snap into the snap-fit ​​groove, corresponding to the position of the snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​portion has an inwardly protruding snap-fit ​​portion that can snap into the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0008] In some alternative embodiments, the cross-section of the insertion hole and the insertion hole is rectangular; the cross-section of the insertion rod is a rectangle with chamfers.

[0009] In some alternative embodiments, the plug-in rod includes a rod portion and a tip located at the lower end of the rod portion.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments, the base has fork-supporting holes on its side.

[0011] In some alternative implementations, the baffle is uniformly arrayed with a plurality of through holes.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments, the support plate has a plurality of through holes evenly arrayed.

[0013] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: The loading and unloading cage of this utility model can be disassembled when not in use to save storage space. When the loading and unloading cage is not in use, first remove the connecting rod, then remove the baffle from the base, and then remove the support plate from the base. The loading and unloading cage can be reassembled by reversing the operation. After disassembling the loading and unloading cage, the base, baffle, connecting rod, and support plate can be stored separately according to their categories, or they can be stored separately as a group according to all the components of a loading and unloading cage. Compared with storing a whole loading and unloading cage, storing the loading and unloading cage after disassembly can effectively reduce the storage space, and it can also be stacked for storage, which can significantly reduce the floor space occupied by the loading and unloading cage when not in use and reduce the burden on the processing plant.

If terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, an easy-to-store loading and unloading cage includes a base 1, a support plate 4, a baffle 2, and a connecting rod 3.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 has a lifting hole 11 and a supporting step 16 in the middle. The four corners of the base 1 have insertion holes 14.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the support plate 4 is placed on the support step 16, and the support plate 4 is used to place food cans. Multiple support plates 4 can be stacked as needed in the loading and unloading cage, and the support plates 4 can move up and down in the unloading cage. The lifting mechanism can lift the support plate 4 through the lifting hole 11, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of food cans on the support plate 4.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, four baffles 2 are detachably connected to the four sides of the base 1, that is, one baffle 2 is connected to the front, back, left, and right sides of the base 1. Figure 5 As shown, each of the two sides of the baffle 2 has multiple slots 22 and multiple blocks 23. Figure 1As shown, the slots 22 and the blocks 23 between two adjacent baffles 2 are engaged with each other, and the corresponding blocks 23 can be inserted into the slots 22, so that the blocks 23 of the two adjacent baffles 2 can be inserted and locked in turn.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the card block 23 has a vertically penetrating insertion hole 21. (As indicated...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the plug rod 3 passes through the plug hole 21 of the card block 23 and is inserted into the plug hole 14 of the base 1.

[0030] The loading and unloading cage described in this embodiment can be disassembled when not in use to save storage space. When the loading and unloading cage is not in use, first remove the connecting rod 3, then remove the baffle 2 from the base 1, and then remove the support plate 4 from the base 1. The loading and unloading cage can be reassembled by reversing the operation. After disassembling the loading and unloading cage, the base 1, baffle 2, connecting rod 3, and support plate 4 can be stored separately according to their categories, or they can be stored separately as a group according to all the components of a loading and unloading cage. Compared with storing a whole loading and unloading cage, storing the loading and unloading cage after disassembly can effectively reduce the storage space, and it can also be stacked for storage, which can significantly reduce the floor space occupied by the loading and unloading cage when not in use and reduce the burden on the processing plant.

[0031] As an optional implementation method for achieving a detachable connection between the baffle 2 and the base 1, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 has downwardly recessed snap-fit ​​grooves 12 around its perimeter, and the snap-fit ​​grooves 12 have inwardly extending snap-fit ​​holes 13. Figure 5 As shown, the lower end of the baffle 2 has a downwardly extending locking part 24 that can be locked into the locking groove 12, corresponding to the position of the locking groove 12. The locking part 24 has an inwardly protruding locking part 25 that can be locked into the locking hole 13. During assembly, the locking part 24 of the baffle 2 is locked into the locking groove 12 of the base 1 to ensure that the baffle 2 has the correct installation position on the base 1. Then, the locking part 25 of the baffle 2 is locked into the locking hole 13 of the base 1 to prevent the baffle 2 from moving up and down relative to the base 1. Combined with the connection of adjacent baffles 2 through the plug rod 3, the baffle 2 and the base 1 can be firmly connected as one unit and can also be easily assembled and disassembled.

[0032] To facilitate the insertion and removal of the connector 3, as an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cross-sections of the insertion holes 14 and 21 are preferably rectangular, and the cross-section of the insertion rod 3 is preferably a rectangle with chamfers. The rectangular cross-section prevents the insertion rod 3 from rotating within the insertion holes 14 and 21, ensuring a stable connection between adjacent baffles 2. Simultaneously, the chamfers on the edges of the insertion rod 3 facilitate its movement within the insertion holes 14 and 21.

[0033] To facilitate the insertion of the connector 3, as an optional implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the plug rod 3 may include a rod portion 31 and a tip 32 located at the lower end of the rod portion 31. The tip 32 is easier to insert into the plug hole 14 and the plug hole 21, thereby making the insertion of the plug rod 3 more convenient.

[0034] To facilitate the transport and unloading of cages using lifting equipment such as forklifts, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple fork holes 15 can be opened on the side of the base 1 to facilitate the insertion of the fork arms.

[0035] In addition, multiple through holes can be uniformly arrayed on the baffle 2 and / or the support plate 4 to reduce weight and facilitate full contact between the food can and the disinfectant and high-temperature steam during sterilization.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] The above preferred embodiments should not be considered as limitations on this utility model, and the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
