TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fruit storage, in particular to a metal fruit storage frame. BACKGROUND
[0002] A large amount of fruits are harvested in fruit planting areas every year, which cannot be sold outside in a short time, and thus are usually stored in cold storage. According to market demand, the fruits are packaged and transported for sale outside in sequence. The fruits can be stored in a cold storage for a longer storage period in a low-temperature environment, and thus the cold storage for fruit storage is widely used in fruit planting areas, such as apples, kiwis, etc. can be stored in a cold storage after being harvested.
[0003] At present, the storage of fruits is usually carried out by using a frame as shown in the specification, and the harvested fruits are placed in the frame, and the frame is transferred to the cold storage for storage. Figure 1 In order to store more fruits in a single cold storage, the cold storage has a large size (has a large length, width and height), and thus has a large internal storage space. In order to store more frames in the cold storage, the frames need to be vertically stacked, so as to increase the storage capacity of the cold storage. As shown in the specification, in order to avoid the stacked frames having a high stability, a slot is arranged on the top of the column of each frame, and the column of the upper frame is inserted into the slot of the column of the lower frame, so as to realize the vertical type of the upper and lower frames, and the upper and lower frames have a limiting effect on each other. Figure 2
[0004] However, in the actual stacking process of the upper and lower frames, a forklift or a lifting method is usually used for stacking. The mobility of the forklift and the shaking of the lifting method make it difficult to quickly align the column of the upper frame with the slot of the lower frame, and there is a horizontal misalignment deviation (as shown in the left side of the specification), which affects the stacking efficiency of the frame. If the inner width of the slot is increased (as shown in the right side of the specification), it is convenient to insert and stack the upper frame, but after the insertion and stacking, the upper and lower frames may be misaligned to the left and right, as shown in the specification, and after stacking a large number of frames, the whole may be inclined, as shown in the specification, which has a certain safety hazard. Therefore, the inner width of the slot matched with the column is still used at present, and thus the frame needs to be slowly aligned and then inserted and stacked, which reduces the efficiency of the frame stacking. In the stacking process, the door of the cold storage is in an open state, which causes the loss of cold air in the cold storage, thereby increasing the energy consumption cost of the cold storage. Figure 3 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Invention content
[0005] In view of the above problems, the metal fruit storage frame body can realize quick positioning and stacking of the upper and lower frame bodies, thereby solving the problem of inclination of the whole after stacking due to the excessive width of the groove body, and the problem of difficulty in quick insertion of the groove body, thereby effectively improving the stacking efficiency of the upper and lower frame bodies and reducing the energy consumption in the cold storage process.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a metal fruit storage frame body, the frame body has a plurality of columns, characterized in that: an upper positioning member and a lower positioning member are arranged on the upper and lower ends of each column and cooperate with each other, the upper positioning member and the lower positioning member have a certain dislocation width in the horizontal plane, and the upper positioning member and the lower positioning member have overlapping projections within the dislocation width, and the upper positioning member and the lower positioning member are positioned with each other after abutting.
[0007] Preferably, the upper positioning member and the lower positioning member have the same and smaller included angle opening structure than the flat angle.
[0008] Preferably, the upper positioning member is a V-shaped plate with the top pointed upward, and the lower positioning member is a V-shaped groove fitted on the V-shaped plate.
[0009] Preferably, an extension plate larger than the length of the side wall of the V-shaped groove is arranged in the V-shaped groove, and a slot for inserting the extension plate is formed in the corresponding position of the column.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the upper and lower frame bodies are provided with upper and lower positioning members on the upper and lower ends of the columns, which can allow the upper and lower frame bodies to have a certain dislocation width and overlap in the horizontal plane. During the process of lowering the upper frame body, the upper frame body can be connected with the lower frame body, that is, the lower positioning member of the upper frame body and the upper positioning member of the lower frame body are connected. On the basis of connection, contact guiding action is formed between them, and then the upper frame body can be placed on the lower frame body. Thus, the problem of inclination of the whole after stacking due to the excessive width of the groove body, and the problem of difficulty in quick insertion of the groove body are solved, thereby effectively improving the stacking efficiency of the upper and lower frame bodies and reducing the energy consumption in the cold storage process.

[0022] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0023] Referring to the drawings Figures 1-10 A metal fruit storage frame is shown, which has a plurality of columns 11, and a slot body 13 for inserting the columns of the upper frame body is arranged at the top of each column, as shown in Figure 2 The columns of the upper frame body are inserted into the slot bodies of the lower frame body columns, which realizes the vertical type of the upper and lower frame bodies and has a limiting effect between each other. In order to solve the problem of instability of the left and right deflection of the upper and lower frame bodies after increasing the inner width of the slot body for the convenience of stacking the frame body, and the problem of difficult insertion and stacking of the slot body adapted to the column, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the present application is provided with an upper positioning member 21 and a lower positioning member 22 on each of the upright columns 11, the upper positioning member 21 and the lower positioning member 22 are horizontally offset by a certain width, and the upper positioning member 21 and the lower positioning member 22 have overlapping projections within the offset width. The upper positioning member 21 and the lower positioning member 22 are horizontally offset by a certain width, that is, the offset width allows the upper frame and the lower frame to have normal positional deviation during stacking, and within the positional deviation width, the upper positioning member 21 and the lower positioning member 22 have overlapping projections, that is, a certain width of overlap exists in the horizontal plane, and during the process of lowering the upper frame, the upper frame can be in contact with the lower frame, that is, the lower positioning member 22 of the upper frame and the upper positioning member 21 of the lower frame are in contact, and based on the contact, a guiding action is formed between them, and then the upper frame can be lowered onto the lower frame.
[0024] After falling in, the upper positioning member 21 and the lower positioning member 22 are in contact and positioned with each other, that is, the horizontal deviation of the upper and lower frames is limited, and then the present application allows the upper and lower frames to be offset during stacking by providing the upper positioning member 21 and the lower positioning member 22 on the frame, and at the same time, the two frames can be guided to contact each other, and after contacting, the relative positioning of the two frames is realized, thereby effectively solving the problem of deviation of the entire stack due to the excessive width of the slot, and the problem of difficulty in quick insertion of the slot width, thereby effectively improving the stacking efficiency of the upper and lower frames and reducing the energy consumption during storage in the cold storage.
[0025] Further, the upper positioning member 21 and the lower positioning member 22 have the same V-shaped angle opening structure which is smaller than a flat angle. The smaller flat angle forms a V-shaped angle structure, and the same V-shaped angle structure can be horizontally offset and still have overlapping projections within a certain offset width. The specific structure is as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the upper positioning member 21 is a V-shaped plate with the top pointed upward, and the lower positioning member is a V-shaped groove fitted on the V-shaped plate. During stacking of the upper and lower frames, as shown in Figure 9 As shown, the V-shaped groove at the bottom of the upper frame is fitted on the V-shaped plate of the lower frame, and after fitting, the two can be limited in the horizontal direction, so that the upper and lower frames are in the same vertical direction, thereby ensuring the same verticality of multiple frames after stacking a large number of frames, and avoiding the safety problem of easy tilting after stacking the existing frames.
[0026] And as shown in Figure 9As shown, when the upper frame and the lower frame are horizontally misaligned, the V-shaped groove of the upper frame still overlaps the V-shaped plate of the lower frame by a certain horizontal width. Thus, when the upper frame is lowered, the V-shaped groove of the upper frame slides along the V-shaped plate of the lower frame, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the upper frame and finally making the V-shaped groove of the upper frame fit the V-shaped plate of the lower frame. The relative positioning of the upper frame and the lower frame is achieved based on the adjustment of the horizontal position of the upper frame and the alignment of the upper frame and the lower frame. Therefore, the frame structure allows a certain horizontal misalignment during stacking and achieves the relative positioning of the upper frame and the lower frame under the guidance after stacking, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the stacking operation.
[0027] To further increase the horizontal misalignment of the upper and lower frames during stacking, Figure 10 As shown, an extension plate 3 larger than the length of the side wall of the V-shaped groove is arranged inside the V-shaped groove, and a slot 1a for inserting the extension plate 3 is formed in the corresponding position of the stand 11. When the upper frame is lowered for stacking, the upper frame is in a suspended state, so the extension plate 3 in the stand 11 slides downward under the action of gravity (preferably, the surface of the extension plate 3 has a certain taper along its length direction to prevent the extension plate 3 from slipping out of the slot 1a and falling off when the frame is in a suspended state). After sliding, as shown in the width comparison at d in Figures 9-10 The horizontal misalignment width of the upper and lower frames can be obviously increased, so the allowable misalignment width of the upper frame during stacking can be increased compared to that of the lower frame. During the lowering of the upper frame, the extension plate 3 contacts the surface of the V-shaped plate of the lower frame. The guiding effect of the upper frame during the lowering process can be achieved after the contact. Under the guiding effect, the upper frame and the lower frame are gradually adjusted to be aligned. When the bottom end of the extension plate contacts the cross beam 12 of the lower frame, the extension plate is retracted into the slot 1a until the V-shaped groove of the upper frame fits the V-shaped plate of the lower frame, i.e., the upper frame is placed in alignment. Therefore, the extension plate can further increase the misalignment width of the upper frame and the lower frame during stacking, which facilitates faster stacking of the upper frame.
[0028] The principle of the present application is: when the frame is stacked, the upper frame is lifted or suspended by the forklift to move to the upper side of the lower frame, then the upper frame is lowered, the extension plate 3 is extended downward during the lowering process, the extension plate 3 on the upper frame and the V-shaped plate at the top of the lower frame have a certain overlap in the horizontal direction, then continue to lower, after the extension plate 3 contacts the V-shaped plate of the lower frame, the V-shaped plate of the lower frame is used to guide the upper frame, then the upper frame slides on the V-shaped plate of the lower frame through the extension plate, and the upper frame and the lower frame are adjusted during the sliding process, until the V-shaped groove of the upper frame is fitted on the V-shaped plate of the lower frame, that is, the upper frame is placed in alignment.
[0029] The basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application are shown and described above. Various changes and improvements can be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and improvements are within the scope of the claimed application.
