Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage and transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a storage and transportation equipment for fermented food. Background Technology

[0002] Food storage and transportation equipment is an essential tool used to ensure food safety, extend shelf life, and maintain food quality during storage and transportation. This equipment typically requires appropriate temperature and humidity control to prevent microbial contamination, reduce mechanical damage, and maintain food freshness. The food storage and transportation equipment industry mainly involves various equipment needed for food storage and transportation, such as refrigeration equipment, drying equipment, and packaging equipment, aiming to ensure food safety, extend shelf life, and maintain food quality. Based on different functions and uses, food storage and transportation equipment can be divided into several subcategories, including refrigeration equipment, drying equipment, and packaging equipment. Refrigerated trucks and ice are required for the storage and transportation of some fermented foods.

[0003] Currently, in the storage space of storage and transportation equipment, ice blocks are piled around the food boxes. The shape of the ice blocks and the gap between them and the boxes are relatively large. As transportation progresses, the protective pre-cooling effect of the ice blocks on the boxes becomes worse, which is not conducive to practical use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fermented food storage and transportation device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a fermented food storage and transportation equipment. In the existing storage and transportation equipment, ice blocks are piled around the food box. The shape of the ice blocks and the gap between them and the box are relatively large. As transportation progresses, the protective pre-cooling effect of the ice blocks on the box becomes worse, which is not conducive to practical use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A fermented food storage and transportation device, comprising: a placement box;

[0008] The placement box has a polygonal structure. A top cover is bolted to the top surface of the placement box. Each outer side of the placement box is a concave arc surface. The outer side of the arc surface abuts against the ice block. The surface of the ice block that contacts the arc surface has been pre-cut.

[0009] In one embodiment, the bottom of the placement box is connected to the base by bolts. The base is a hollow cylindrical structure with a water inlet on its top surface. Multiple sets of water inlets are arranged in a circular array, and the number of water inlets is the same as the number of sides of the placement box. A drain pipe is installed on one side of the base.

[0010] In one embodiment, a counterweight is pre-placed inside the base, and an anti-slip pad is attached to the bottom surface of the base.

[0011] In one embodiment, the side of the ice block away from the curved surface is connected to an auxiliary mechanism. Both the ice block and the auxiliary mechanism are arranged in multiple ring arrays, which are consistent with the number of sides of the placement box. The auxiliary mechanism consists of a mounting plate, a push plate, and a spring telescopic rod. The mounting plate has an overall U-shaped structure, with its open end facing the rectangular surface of the ice block. The inner wall of the mounting plate is connected to the push plate through the spring telescopic rod, and the other end of the push plate abuts against the rectangular surface of the ice block.

[0012] In one embodiment, auxiliary boxes are installed on both sides of the pusher plate. The auxiliary boxes are U-shaped, and the openings of the auxiliary boxes are at the same level as the surface of the pusher plate. The auxiliary boxes are filled with ice pucks.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] When the ice block is attached to the curved surface, the push plate and the spring telescopic rod are in a compressed state. During transportation, even if the whole device is inside the refrigerated compartment, the ice block may still thaw, which may reduce the fit with the box. The elastic potential energy of the spring telescopic rod ensures that the push plate always provides a squeezing and pushing force to the ice block, making the fit between the ice block and the curved surface more stable and reliable.

[0015] This invention, by setting up an auxiliary box and an ice ball, addresses the possibility that the ice may melt prematurely during transportation in hot regions. Even after the ice melts, the ice ball inside the auxiliary box can still provide auxiliary cooling for the container. When the ice melts due to breakage, the ice ball, without the restraint of the ice, falls from the opening of the auxiliary box to continue the cooling process. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the present utility model;

[0017] Figure 2 This is a detailed view of the disassembled internal structure of this utility model;

[0018] Figure 3 This is a detailed drawing of the auxiliary mechanism of this utility model.

[0019] The corresponding names of the attached figures are: placement box 1, arc surface 11, ice block 2, auxiliary mechanism 3, mounting plate 31, push plate 32, spring telescopic rod 33, auxiliary box 34, ice ball 35, base 4, and water inlet 41. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a fermented food storage and transportation device, comprising: a placement box 1, ice blocks 2, an auxiliary mechanism 3, and a base 4;

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the placement box 1 has a polygonal structure. A top cover is bolted to the top surface of the placement box 1. Each outer side of the placement box 1 is a concave arc surface 11. The outer side of the arc surface 11 abuts against the ice block 2. The surface of the ice block 2 that contacts the arc surface 11 is pre-cut. By setting the arc surface 11 of the ice block 2 and the placement box 1, the connection between the two is limited and fitted, thereby improving the pre-cooling effect of the ice block on the placement box 1.

[0023] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the bottom of the placement box 1 is connected to the base 4 by bolts. The base 4 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a water inlet 41 on its top surface. The water inlets 41 are arranged in a ring array with multiple sets. The number of water inlets 41 is the same as the number of sides of the placement box 1. A drain pipe is installed on one side of the base 4.

[0024] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a counterweight is pre-placed inside the base 4, and an anti-slip pad is attached to the bottom surface of the base 4, making the entire device more stable during transportation.

[0025] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the surface of the ice block 2 away from the arc-shaped surface 11 is connected to the auxiliary mechanism 3. Both the ice block 2 and the auxiliary mechanism 3 are arranged in multiple ring arrays, which are consistent with the number of sides of the placement box 1. The auxiliary mechanism 3 consists of a mounting plate 31, a push plate 32, and a spring telescopic rod 33. The mounting plate 31 has an overall U-shaped structure, with its open end facing the rectangular surface of the ice block 2. The inner wall of the mounting plate 31 is connected to the push plate 32 through the spring telescopic rod 33. The other end of the push plate 32 abuts against the rectangular surface of the ice block 2. When the ice block 2 is in contact with the arc-shaped surface 11, the push plate 32 and the spring telescopic rod 33 are in a compressed state. During transportation, even if the entire device is inside the refrigerated compartment, the ice block 2 may still thaw, which may cause a decrease in the fit with the placement box 1. Through the elastic potential energy of the spring telescopic rod 33, the push plate 32 always provides a squeezing and pushing force to the ice block 2, making the fit between the ice block 2 and the arc-shaped surface 11 more stable and reliable.

[0026] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, auxiliary boxes 34 are installed on both sides of the push plate 32. The auxiliary boxes 34 are U-shaped in shape. The opening ends of the auxiliary boxes 34 are at the same level as the surface of the push plate 32. The auxiliary boxes 34 are filled with ice balls. During operation, such as when transporting in hot areas, the ice blocks 2 may melt prematurely. After the ice blocks 2 melt, the ice balls 35 in the auxiliary boxes 34 can still provide auxiliary cooling for the placement box 1. When the ice blocks 2 melts due to breakage, the ice balls 35 fall from the opening of the auxiliary boxes 34 without the restraint of the ice blocks 2 to perform the cooling work.

[0027] Working principle of this utility model:

[0028] During operation, when ice block 2 is in contact with the curved surface 11, push plate 32 and spring telescopic rod 33 are in a compressed state. During transportation, even if the entire device is inside the refrigerated compartment, ice block 2 may still thaw, which may reduce the fit with the placement box 1. Through the elastic potential energy of spring telescopic rod 33, push plate 32 always provides squeezing and pushing force to ice block 2, making the fit between ice block 2 and curved surface 11 more stable and reliable. If transported in hot areas, ice block 2 may melt prematurely. After ice block 2 melts, ice ball 35 in auxiliary box 34 can still provide auxiliary refrigeration to placement box 1. When ice block 2 melts fracturely, ice ball 35 falls from the opening of auxiliary box 34 without the restraint of ice block 2 to perform refrigeration.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications or refinements made to the main design concept and spirit of this utility model that are not of substantial significance, but solve the same technical problem as this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
