Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kiwi fruit technology, and in particular to a stackable kiwi fruit transport and storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] Kiwifruit is rich in nutrients, containing more than 20 kinds of amino acids and various vitamins, especially vitamin C, which is dozens of times higher than that of other fruits. It is an excellent raw material for developing functional health foods. Currently, most kiwifruit are transported in express delivery boxes. This method not only makes the kiwifruit inside easily damaged by shock during transportation, but also results in a high damage rate, causing nutrient loss, affecting the taste, and making it easy to rot. Existing kiwifruit transfer and preservation boxes that are convenient for transportation still have shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where kiwifruit is mostly transported in express packaging boxes. This method not only makes the kiwifruit inside easily damaged by shock during transportation, but also results in a high damage rate, causing nutrient loss, affecting the taste, and making the kiwifruit prone to rotting. Therefore, a stackable kiwifruit transport and storage rack is proposed.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A stackable kiwi fruit transport and storage rack includes multiple support columns arranged in a rectangular array. An outer arch bridge is provided between four adjacent support columns, and a common inner arch bridge is provided between four adjacent outer arch bridges. The inner arch bridge has an arc-shaped hole inside. The support columns, outer arch bridges, and inner arch bridges are integrally formed, and the multiple support columns are stacked together by a stacking assembly.

[0006] The inner and outer arch bridges are equipped with the same set of support components for supporting kiwifruit.

[0007] In one possible design, the stacking assembly includes a support protrusion fixedly connected to the bottom of a support column, the top of which has a circular groove that engages with the support protrusion.

[0008] In one possible design, the support assembly includes the same limiting groove formed inside the inner and outer arches, the limiting groove being located above and communicating with the arc-shaped hole, and a plurality of bandages being adhered to the bottom inner wall of the limiting groove, the plurality of bandages being adhered to each other and forming a support bracket.

[0009] In one possible design, a limiting ring is bonded to the inside of the limiting groove, and the limiting ring is bonded to the top of a plurality of bandages.

[0010] In one possible design, the support column has a first placement hole inside, and the outer arch bridge has a second placement hole inside. The first placement hole and the second placement hole are connected, and the same activated carbon rod is inserted into the first placement hole and the second placement hole located in the same column.

[0011] In one possible design, the inner wall of the arc-shaped hole is arc-shaped.

[0012] In this application, the kiwi fruit board is designed based on the standard size of a kiwi fruit, that is, a kiwi fruit that is 8cm high and 6cm wide. The kiwi fruit is placed vertically into the kiwi fruit compartment, and the elastic band will stretch due to the weight of the kiwi fruit to hold it up. After all 25 compartments in one layer are filled with kiwi fruit, the second layer is placed on top of the first layer. The circular grooves and support protrusions are interlocked and connected to each other, which can be connected sequentially to achieve the stacking function and save space.

[0013] Activated carbon rods of appropriate size are placed at the openings of the support columns and the outer arch bridge. The main body is made of cardboard to stabilize the whole structure. The elastic bandage is the only part of the kiwi fruit in contact with the ground and can cushion the displacement of the kiwi fruit due to bumps. That is, if the kiwi fruit is displaced due to bumps, the bandage uses its elasticity to bring the kiwi fruit back to its original position.

[0014] In traditional egg trays, there are no interlocking components between the upper and lower layers. This means that the eggs are simply stacked together, which is not stable. When displacement occurs, the upper and lower egg trays will misalign, causing the upper layer to fall. In contrast, this invention prevents misalignment because the upper and lower layers are interlocked as a single unit. Furthermore, it is easier to handle during transport because it is a single unit.

[0015] During transportation, if kiwis are stacked together in a cardboard box without any protection, they will be squeezed and rubbed against each other. In this application, each kiwi has an individual compartment and elastic bandages to correct its movement, thus solving the problems of dropping, friction, and squeezing.

[0016] When encountering obstacles during transportation, kiwifruit will fall upwards from its original position due to inertia. If the bottom is made of cardboard like an egg carton, it may cause mechanical damage to the kiwifruit. When the kiwifruit hits the cardboard, it briefly dissipates its downward momentum, resulting in excessive force on the kiwifruit. The bandage structure, however, cushions the downward momentum of the kiwifruit. As it falls, the bandage elastically deforms, dissipating the force and allowing the kiwifruit to safely return to its original position.

[0017] Structures like those completely encased in an egg tray prevent kiwifruit from consuming all the oxygen in the chamber, causing it to begin anaerobic respiration and produce alcohol, rendering it inedible. The bandages, however, are breathable, allowing oxygen consumed by the kiwifruit's respiration to permeate through the gaps, while the produced carbon dioxide escapes through the pores. Ethylene, another gas, is also transported through the bandages and absorbed by activated carbon rods in the supporting walls and columns, preventing premature ripening.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Kiwifruit is better protected during transportation. The kiwifruit transport and storage boards are interlocked, forming a more stable whole.

[0020] 2. By leaving sufficient gaps for the kiwi fruit to breathe and for the adsorbent to be positioned, the gas can be controlled in a targeted manner.

[0021] 3. Since the main material of the kiwi fruit transport and preservation board is paper, the cost is lower compared to other material solutions.

[0022] 4. The kiwi fruit compartment of this utility model is more stable than other shapes due to its arched structure.

[0023] 5. Compared with other solutions, this utility model is more drop-resistant, more wear-resistant, more convenient, and faster.

[0024] 6. This utility model provides a better buffering effect for kiwifruit. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Reference Figure 1-5 A transport rack includes: multiple support columns 1 arranged in a rectangular array, with an outer arch bridge 2 between each of the four adjacent support columns 1, and an inner arch bridge 3 between each of the four adjacent outer arch bridges 2. The inner arch bridge 3 has an arc-shaped hole 8 inside. The support columns 1, outer arch bridges 2, and inner arch bridge 3 are integrally formed. The multiple support columns 1 are stacked by a stacking assembly, which includes a support protrusion 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 1. A circular groove 4 is opened on the top of the support column 1, and the circular groove 4 engages with the support protrusion 9. This kiwi board is designed based on the size of a typical kiwi, i.e., a kiwi 8cm high and 6cm wide. The kiwi is placed vertically into the kiwi compartment, and the elastic bandage 5 stretches due to the weight of the kiwi to hold it up. After all 25 compartments in one layer are filled with kiwis, the second layer is placed on top of the first layer. The circular groove 4 and the support protrusion 9 are interlocked and connected, allowing for sequential connection and stacking to save space.

[0034] The inner arch bridge 3 and the outer arch bridge 2 are equipped with the same set of support components for supporting the kiwifruit. The support components include the same limiting groove 7 opened inside the inner arch bridge 3 and the outer arch bridge 2. The limiting groove 7 is located above the arc-shaped hole 8 and is connected to the arc-shaped hole 8. Multiple bandages 5 are glued to the bottom inner wall of the limiting groove 7. The multiple bandages 5 are glued to each other and form a support bracket. A limiting ring 6 is glued to the inside of the limiting groove 7. The limiting ring 6 is glued to the top of the multiple bandages 5. The inner wall of the arc-shaped hole 8 is arc-shaped. The elastic bandage 5 is the only contact part of the kiwifruit and can buffer the displacement of the kiwifruit due to bumps. That is, if the kiwifruit is displaced due to bumps, the bandage 5 uses its elasticity to make the kiwifruit return to its original position.
