Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, specifically to an apple packaging and storage device. Background Technology

[0002] When storing apples, they are often packaged in wooden or plastic boxes lined with plastic bags, and then placed in cold storage, controlled atmosphere storage, or other similar facilities. This is one method of apple packaging and storage.

[0003] Currently, apple packaging is mostly done manually. After grading and sorting the apples, they are placed into boxes one by one by hand. However, manual packaging has the disadvantages of low efficiency and high labor costs.

[0004] While existing technologies include devices for rapid packaging and storage of apples, there remains a risk of collisions during the packaging process. For example, Chinese patent document with patent application number 201911044193.X discloses an apple packaging device, including a dispensing block with a working chamber opening to the left. The working chamber contains a boxing mechanism, which includes a connecting block fixed to the rear wall of the working chamber. The connecting block has a vertically penetrating opening, and a storage frame is fixed to the rear wall of the opening. The storage frame contains a storage cavity, and a rotating cavity is formed through the left end wall of the storage cavity. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the rear wall of the rotating cavity. Four rotating plates are fixed on the drive shaft, and a first pulley is fixed on the drive shaft. The first pulley is located behind the drive shaft and has a belt wound around it. The rotation of the rotating plates causes the apples in the storage cavity to move downwards.

[0005] However, when the above solution is used, there is a gap between the apple outlet and the bottom of the inner side of the packaging box. When the apples are thrown into the packaging box by their own weight, the apples will collide with the packaging box and with each other, which may cause damage to the apples. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing an apple packaging and storage device.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is: an apple packaging and storage device, including a packaging box, a translation component, an inner liner bag, and a limiting component;

[0008] The packaging box is placed at the discharge port of the external apple conveying device, and the inside of the packaging box is equipped with a support plate to support the apples conveyed by the external apple conveying device during use.

[0009] The inner lining bag is placed inside the packaging box, with the top of the inner lining bag extending above the packaging box and folding outwards to wrap the packaging box.

[0010] The limiting component is located at the bottom of the packaging box and extends to the inside of the packaging box to contact the support plate. It is used to limit the packaging box in use and to allow the support plate to move vertically inside the packaging box.

[0011] The translation component is installed at the bottom of the mounting base and is used to move the packaging box at the outlet of the external apple conveyor via the limiting component during use.

[0012] Preferably, a stop is provided at the bottom inner side of the packaging box, and the support plate is located on the inner side of the packaging box and overlaps the upper surface of the stop.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting component includes a mounting base and a spring;

[0014] The mounting base is located at the bottom of the packaging box, and has a cavity with an opening at the top in the middle.

[0015] The spring is installed in the cavity and lifted by the support plate inside the packaging box.

[0016] Preferably, there are multiple springs, which are arranged at equal intervals in the cavity.

[0017] Preferably, a step is provided at the top of the mounting base and at the opening of the cavity, so that when the packaging box and the mounting base are installed together, the bottom of the packaging box is accommodated on the step.

[0018] Preferably, a limiting plate is provided at the top of the spring, and the edge of the limiting plate extends downward to the inner side of the mounting base and slides in connection with the inner wall of the mounting base.

[0019] Preferably, there are two translation components, which are stacked and arranged vertically.

[0020] Preferably, the translation assembly includes a mounting plate, a motor, a lead screw, a connecting plate, a slide rail, and a slider;

[0021] The connecting plate is mounted on the mounting plate via slide rails and sliders;

[0022] The lead screw is threaded to the bottom middle of the connecting plate and rotatably mounted on the mounting plate;

[0023] The motor is mounted on the end of the mounting plate and connected to the lead screw.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] This invention places the packaging box on the mounting base, which limits the position of the packaging box. The spring force moves the support plate upward inside the packaging box.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes an apple packaging and storage device, which includes a packaging box 1, a translation component 2, an inner liner bag 4, a support plate 5, and a limiting component.

[0032] Packaging box 1 is set at the discharge port of the external apple conveying device. A block 8 is set at the bottom of the inner side of packaging box 1. A support plate 5 is installed on the inner side of packaging box 1 and overlaps the upper surface of the block 8 to support the apples conveyed by the external apple conveying device in use.

[0033] The inner lining bag 4 is placed inside the packaging box 1. The top of the inner lining bag 4 extends above the packaging box 1 and flips outward to wrap the packaging box 1.

[0034] The limiting component is located at the bottom of the packaging box 1 and extends to the inside of the packaging box 1 to contact the support plate 5. It is used to limit the packaging box 1 in use and to make the support plate 5 move vertically inside the packaging box 1.

[0035] The translation component 2 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 3 and is used to translate the packaging box 1 at the outlet of the external apple conveying device through the limiting component during use.

[0036] In this embodiment, by placing the packaging box 1 on the mounting base 3, the mounting base 3 defines the position of the packaging box 1, and the support plate 5 moves upward inside the packaging box 1. The inner liner bag 4 is placed inside the packaging box 1 and above the support plate 5. At the same time, the opening of the inner liner bag 4 is flipped over to wrap around the outside of the packaging box 1. The translation component 2 moves the packaging box 1, causing the packaging box 1 to move along the x and y axes. The apples are laid flat on the support plate 5 and inside the inner liner bag 4. At the same time, the weight of the apples causes the bottom of the support plate 5 and the inner liner bag 4 to move downward, so that the apples are laid flat on the support plate 5 in multiple layers. The distance between the support plate 5 and the top of the packaging box 1 gradually increases due to the weight of the apples until they contact the stop block 8, and the opening of the inner liner bag 4 is sealed, thus completing the apple packaging and making it ready for storage.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the apple packaging and storage device proposed in this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, includes a limiting component including a mounting base 3 and a spring 7 in this embodiment;

[0039] The mounting base 3 is located at the bottom of the packaging box 1, and has a cavity 9 with an opening at the top in the middle. The top of the mounting base 3 and the opening of the cavity 9 are provided with a step 10. When the packaging box 1 and the mounting base 3 are installed together, the bottom of the packaging box 1 is accommodated on the step 10, so that the packaging box 1 is fitted and fixed on the mounting base 3.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the spring 7 is installed in the cavity 9 and lifted by the support plate 5 inside the packaging box 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the mounting base 3 is fitted and connected to the packaging box 1 through the step 10, which limits the position of the packaging box 1. A spring 7 is installed in the cavity 9 with an opening at the top in the middle of the mounting base 3. The spring 7 drives the support plate 5 to move upward through its own elasticity, and the weight of the apple on the support plate 5 drives the support plate 5 to move downward to compress the spring 7. This minimizes the distance between the landing point of the apple and the top of the packaging box 1 when the apple is placed inside the packaging box 1, thus avoiding collisions between the apple and the support plate 5 or between the apples themselves.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the apple packaging and storage device proposed in this utility model has multiple springs 7 compared to Embodiment 2, and the multiple springs 7 are arranged at equal distances in the cavity 9.

[0044] It should be noted that a limiting plate 6 is provided at the top of the spring 7, and the edge of the limiting plate 6 extends downward to the inner side of the mounting base 3 and slides in connection with the inner wall of the mounting base 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, multiple springs 7 support the support plate 5, and a limiting plate 6 is sleeved on the outside of the springs 7 and contacts the support plate 5, and is slidably connected to the mounting base 3, so that the springs 7 drive the support plate 5 to move upward horizontally, while avoiding the situation of the springs 7 moving outward during compression.

[0046] Example 4

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the apple packaging and storage device proposed in this utility model has two translation components 2 compared to the first embodiment. The two translation components 2 are stacked and arranged vertically.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the translation assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 21, a motor 22, a lead screw 23, a connecting plate 24, a slide rail 25, and a slider 26.

[0049] The connecting plate 24 is mounted on the mounting plate 21 via the slide rail 25 and the slider 26;

[0050] The lead screw 23 is threaded to the bottom middle part of the connecting plate 24 and is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 21;

[0051] The motor 22 is mounted on the end of the mounting plate 21 and connected to the lead screw 23.

[0052] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 24 is connected to the mounting base 3. The motor 22 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate on the mounting plate 21. At the same time, the lead screw 23 drives the connecting plate 24, which is threaded to it, to translate. The connecting plate 24 drives the packaging box 1 to translate through the mounting base 3. The two translation components 2 are at an angle of 90 degrees, so that the cooperation of the two translation components 2 moves the packaging box 1 along the x and y axes, and places the apples flat inside the packaging box 1.

[0053] In summary, when using this utility model, the mounting base 3 is fitted and connected to the packaging box 1 via the step 10, thus defining the position of the packaging box 1. A spring 7 is installed in the cavity 9 with an opening at the top in the middle of the mounting base 3. The spring 7, through its own elasticity, drives the support plate 5 upward, minimizing the distance between the apple's landing point and the top of the packaging box 1 when it is placed inside. The inner lining bag 4 is placed inside the packaging box 1 and above the support plate 5. At the same time, the opening of the inner lining bag 4 is turned over to wrap around the outside of the packaging box 1 and connected to the mounting base 3 via the connecting plate 24. The motor 22 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate on the mounting plate 21, and the lead screw 23 drives the connecting plate 24, which is threaded to it. 4. Translation: The connecting plate 24 moves the packaging box 1 through the mounting base 3. The two translation components 2 are at a 90-degree angle, and their cooperation moves the packaging box 1 along the x and y axes. The apples are placed flat on the support plate 5 and inside the inner liner bag 4. At the same time, the weight of the apples moves the bottom of the support plate 5 and the inner liner bag 4 downwards, and the downward movement of the support plate 5 compresses the spring 7. The apples are then placed flat on the support plate 5 in multiple layers by the weight of the apples and the elastic force of the spring 7. The distance between the support plate 5 and the top of the packaging box 1 gradually increases due to the weight of the apples until it contacts the stop block 8, and the opening of the inner liner bag 4 is sealed, completing the apple packaging and making it ready for storage.

[0054] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
