[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model discloses a fruit and vegetable storage and transportation box, include: box 100, carbon dioxide gas cylinder 200, inlet pipeline 300, exhaust pipeline 400, carbon dioxide gas cylinder 200 set up in the one side of box 100, and box 100 with carbon dioxide gas cylinder 200 are communicated with inlet pipeline 300, and exhaust pipeline 400 is set up in the upper side of box 100, and one end of exhaust pipeline 400 is communicated with box 100, and the other end of exhaust pipeline 400 is communicated with the atmosphere, and exhaust valve 410 is set up on exhaust pipeline 400, in this embodiment, due to the transportation of fruit and vegetable needs to keep fruit and vegetable in low oxygen environment, reduces the metabolism of fruit and vegetable, reduces respiration, exhaust pipeline 400 is set up in the upper side of box 100, because carbon dioxide gas density is greater than air density, when carbon dioxide gas enters the inside of box 100, often sinks into the bottom of box 100, sets up exhaust pipeline 400 in the upper side of box 100, can more thoroughly exhaust the original gas in box 100.

[0029] The box 100 is used for storing fruits and vegetables, the carbon dioxide gas bottle 200 stores carbon dioxide gas, the carbon dioxide gas bottle 200 fills the carbon dioxide gas into the box 100 through the gas inlet pipeline 300, and the air in the box 100 is squeezed and discharged, the original air in the box 100 is discharged through the gas outlet pipeline 400, and the carbon dioxide gas with a certain pressure in the box 100 is always maintained, when the carbon dioxide gas in the box is filled, the gas valve is closed, the space of the box is closed, the low-oxygen environment in the box 100 is always maintained, and the aerobic respiration effect of the fruits and vegetables can be effectively reduced, so that the metabolism of the fruits and vegetables is reduced.

[0030] In some embodiments, the box 100 is provided with a box door 110, and a sealing strip 500 is arranged at the joint of the box door 110 and the box 100. The box door 110 is configured as a channel for loading and unloading fruits and vegetables. The sealing strip 500 can enhance the sealing property of the box 100, avoid gas leakage due to insufficient sealing property of the box 100, and thus cause insufficient carbon dioxide concentration in the box 100. In this embodiment, the sealing strip 500 is made of rubber material, and it can be understood that the sealing strip 500 can also be made of silica gel.

[0031] In some embodiments, the gas inlet pipeline 300 is provided with a gas inlet valve 310 for controlling the carbon dioxide gas entering the box 100. It can be understood that the gas inlet valve 310 is arranged on the gas inlet pipeline 300, and the gas inlet valve 310 is a common ball valve.

[0032] In some embodiments, the box 100 is provided with a pressure measuring device 120 for detecting the gas pressure in the box 100. The pressure measuring device 120 can detect the gas pressure in the box 100, and the operator can determine whether to open the gas inlet valve 310 according to the displayed pressure in the box 100. In this embodiment, the pressure in the box 100 needs to be maintained at 0.03 Mpa, and when the pressure in the box 100 is higher than 0.03 Mpa, the pressure measuring device 120 issues an alarm to prompt the closing of the gas inlet valve 310.

[0033] It can be conceived that the gas outlet valve 410 is a one-way breathing valve, which only supports one-way gas discharge from the box 100 to the outside. The threshold of the one-way breathing valve is 0.05 Mpa, and when the pressure in the box 100 exceeds 0.05 Mpa, the one-way breathing valve is opened to discharge the gas in the box 100, so that the pressure in the box 100 will not exceed 0.05 Mpa. In this embodiment, the pressure in the box 100 is generally maintained at 0.03 Mpa.

[0034] It should be noted that the box 100 is internally provided with a refrigeration device 600, the refrigeration device 600 is used for reducing the temperature in the box 100, so that the temperature in the box 100 is reduced to a temperature suitable for storing fruits and vegetables, the preservation of fruits and vegetables is mainly to reduce the metabolism of fruits and vegetables, and low temperature can effectively reduce the metabolism of fruits and vegetables, but attention should be paid to that the temperature should not be too low to prevent freezing of fruits and vegetables.

[0035] It should be understood that the box 100 is provided with a mounting plate 700, the mounting plate 700 is used for being detachably mounted on the transport vehicle, the box 100 is relatively independent of the transport vehicle, the mounting plate 700 facilitates fixing and mounting the box 100 on the transport vehicle, and also facilitates dismounting the box 100 for maintenance and replacement, in the embodiment, the transport vehicle is provided with a mounting hole, and the mounting plate 700 is detachably arranged on the mounting hole through fasteners.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered as the scope of the present application.

[0037] Of course, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these equivalent modifications or replacements are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
