Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a citrus fruit anti-compression device and a transfer and transportation equipment, belonging to the field of fruit and vegetable transportation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus fruits have thin peels, making them easily damaged by hard objects during transportation. This damage to both the peel and the pulp accelerates decay and infection. Furthermore, citrus fruits will rapidly deteriorate and rot if not properly preserved during transportation and storage. Although citrus fruits have relatively good transport resistance, their fragility necessitates careful handling to avoid mechanical damage. In actual transportation, vibration, collisions, and other mechanical damage can affect the appearance and quality of the fruit, even accelerating decay. Therefore, special attention must be paid to packaging and handling methods during citrus fruit transportation to minimize mechanical damage.

[0003] Guangxi is a major producer of citrus fruits, especially Wogan and Satsuma mandarins. During the harvest season, aside from some domestic sales, the majority is shipped to other provinces and even overseas for distribution. Unlike online sales of single 5-jin (2.5 catties) or 10-jin (5 catties) packages, bulk packaging and transportation by truckload saves on material and labor costs associated with manual packing. Currently, large-scale transport typically involves stacking and palletizing in baskets. During long-distance road transport, the vibrations generated directly impact the fruit, and the baskets offer poor shock absorption. The physical characteristics of citrus fruits make them susceptible to mechanical damage during transport. The brittle peel and soft, easily damaged flesh of citrus fruits mean that the peel and pulp are prone to cracking and damage under external forces. Furthermore, although the peel is relatively thick, it is still easily damaged during transport due to stacking, friction, or collisions, resulting in scratches, dents, and cracks. Vibration and impact during transport are also significant factors contributing to mechanical damage to citrus fruits. During transportation, the vibration and impact of vehicles can cause the internal tissues of fruit to be squeezed and rubbed, resulting in damage. This damage not only affects the appearance of the fruit but may also accelerate its decay, thus impacting its sale. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example

[0031] This embodiment aims to address the problem in existing technologies where large quantities are typically transported in baskets and stacked, but during long-distance road transport, the vibrations generated directly affect the fruit. The baskets offer poor shock absorption, and the physical characteristics of citrus fruits make them susceptible to mechanical damage during transport. Therefore, referring to… Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a citrus fruit anti-compression packaging device and a transit transportation equipment. The accommodating component 1 can accommodate the fruit and can be placed inside the mounting window 21 of the support member 2. The support member 2 can stand upright on a plane without tipping over. The mounting window 21 is elastically abutted against the accommodating component 1 by evenly distributed first elastic members 3. During fruit transportation, the first elastic members 3 can effectively absorb vibration and impact in the horizontal direction, reducing relative compression and relative friction between fruits. At the same time, the second elastic members 4 located at the bottom of the accommodating component 1 can effectively absorb vibration and impact in the vertical direction, effectively reducing the cracking and damage of the peel and pulp tissue caused by vibration and impact during long-distance road transportation.

[0032] Reference Figure 1As shown, a citrus fruit anti-compression packaging device 100 includes a receiving component 1, a support member 2, at least one first elastic member 3, and a second elastic member 4. The receiving component 1 is hollow and can accommodate the fruit. The support member 2 has a mounting window 21 adapted to the receiving component 1 in its middle, and the receiving component 1 is disposed within the mounting window 21. The first elastic members 3 are evenly distributed within the mounting window 21, with one end connected to the inner wall of the mounting window 21 and the other end abutting against the outer wall of the receiving component 1. In some embodiments, one end of the first elastic member 3 is connected to the outer wall of the receiving component 1, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the mounting window 21. The second elastic member 4 abuts against the bottom of the receiving component 1. The first elastic member 3 effectively absorbs vibrations and impacts in the horizontal direction, reducing the vibrations and impacts on the receiving component 1 in the horizontal direction. The second elastic member 4, located at the bottom of the receiving component 1, effectively absorbs vibrations and impacts in the vertical direction, reducing relative compression and friction between the fruits.

[0033] Reference Figure 2As shown, the receiving assembly 1 includes: a receiving member 11, a partition member 12, and a flexible gasket 13. The receiving member 11 has a hollow interior forming a receiving cavity 111. The top of the receiving member 11 has a first opening 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111, through which fruit can be placed. The bottom of the receiving member 11 has a second opening communicating with the receiving cavity 111, through which fruit can be discharged. The partition member 12 is adapted to the second opening and can slide along the second opening. The bottom of the partition member 12 is detachably connected to a second elastic member 4, and the partition member 12 can prevent fruit in the receiving cavity 111 from being discharged from the second opening. The flexible gasket 13 is movably disposed on the inner wall of the receiving member 11 and can slide in the receiving cavity 111. For example, the receiving member 11 can be a cylindrical member with a first opening 112 at the top and a second opening at the bottom. The bottom of the receiving member 11 is placed directly on a plane. The second opening contains a partition member 12 and a second elastic member 4. A flexible gasket 13 is laid on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 111. The flexible gasket 13 and the partition member 12 form a barrel that can hold fruit. The flexible gasket 13 can slide up and down relative to the receiving cavity 111. That is, vibrations occurring in the vertical direction can keep the fruit in contact with the flexible gasket 13 synchronized vertically, avoiding relative displacement and friction on the surface peel of the fruit. The flexible gasket 13 can act as the first shock absorber, the second elastic member 4 as the second shock absorber, and the first elastic member 3 as the third shock absorber. Its vibration and impact resistance is better, and its protection for fruit during long-distance transportation is better. For example, the second elastic member 4 can be a spring with a plate at the bottom and rounded chamfers around the bottom of the plate. The partition 12 can be another plate that is adapted to the second opening. The plate is thick enough that when the receiving member 11 is lifted, the partition 12 can fall out of the second opening, and the fruit can slowly flow out along the second opening.
