[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of receiving devices, specifically a flexible receiving device for fruits and vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of fruit and vegetable harvesting, the receiving stage is a key step to ensure the integrity and quality of the product. Usually, after the operators harvest the fruits and vegetables, they are placed inside the receiving device for temporary storage and transportation.

[0003] Existing receiving devices typically have silicone pads installed at the bottom of the container to reduce the impact of road bumps, but they cannot cushion or protect the fruits and vegetables when they fall into the container, which can easily cause injury and damage to the fruits and vegetables, reducing their subsequent usability. At the same time, the top of the container is usually not covered, which can easily cause the fruits and vegetables to roll off during transportation due to bumps. Therefore, there is a need to propose a flexible receiving device for fruits and vegetables. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible fruit and vegetable receiving device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible fruit and vegetable receiving device, comprising a box body, with rollers movably connected to both sides of the box body, a protective mechanism fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the box body, a limit mechanism fixedly connected to one side of the box body, and a handle fixedly connected to one side of the box body;

[0006] The protective mechanism includes a spring, a protective plate, a buffer pad, an insert block, an elastic net, a fixing plate, a fixing seat, a hydraulic push rod, a ring, a crossbar, a connecting plate, a baffle, a soft pad, a vertical block, and a rotating shaft. A spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the housing. A protective plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring. A buffer pad is fixedly connected to the upper part of the protective plate. An insert block is movably connected inside the housing. An elastic net is fixedly connected to one side of the insert block. Fixing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the housing. A fixing seat is fixedly connected to the upper part of the fixing plate. A hydraulic push rod is movably connected inside the fixing seat. A ring is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic push rod. A crossbar is movably connected inside the ring. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar. A baffle is fixedly connected to the upper part of the connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, a soft pad is fixedly connected above the baffle, a vertical block is fixedly connected above the box body, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical block.

[0008] Preferably, the number of springs is several, and the springs are arranged in a rectangular array at equal intervals on the inner bottom wall of the box.

[0009] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the housing is provided with a slot, and the shape and size of the slot match the shape and size of the insert.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a horizontal plate, a threaded rod, a movable plate, an insert rod, and a guide rod. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. A threaded rod is movably connected inside the horizontal plate. A movable plate is movably connected to the lower end of the threaded rod. An insert rod is fixedly connected to the lower part of the movable plate.

[0011] Preferably, the guide rod passes through the interior of the horizontal plate and extends to the top of the horizontal plate, and the guide rod is movably connected to the horizontal plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This flexible fruit and vegetable receiving device, in conjunction with a protective mechanism, provides initial cushioning when fruits and vegetables fall into the elastic net. The net's elasticity then provides secondary cushioning and protection through spring support of the protective plate and the buffer pad. A hydraulic push rod can be activated to raise the ring, and the ring's connection to the crossbar, along with the crossbar's connection to the baffle via a connecting plate, allows the baffle to adjust its angle around the pivot, providing some protection to the top of the container. This prevents fruits and vegetables from detaching from the container due to excessive cushioning force. It also prevents fruits and vegetables from falling out during subsequent transportation, effectively improving protection and increasing the utilization rate of the produce. This enhances the device's practicality.

[0014] 2. This flexible fruit and vegetable receiving device, through the setting of a limiting mechanism, allows the movable plate to descend in height by rotating the threaded rod during use, which meshes with the horizontal plate. Simultaneously, the guide rod moves downward from inside the horizontal plate, limiting the angle of the movable plate and causing the insertion rod to insert into the soil, thereby locking the device in position and preventing displacement. This indirectly improves the accuracy of subsequent fruit and vegetable receiving, thus enhancing the applicability of the device. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a flexible fruit and vegetable receiving device, including a box body 1, rollers 2 movably connected to both sides of the box body 1, a protective mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the box body 1, a limiting mechanism 4 fixedly connected to one side of the box body 1, and a handle 5 fixedly connected to one side of the box body 1.

[0022] The protective mechanism 3 includes a spring 301, a protective plate 302, a buffer pad 303, an insert block 304, an elastic net 305, a fixing plate 306, a fixing seat 307, a hydraulic push rod 308, a ring 309, a crossbar 310, a connecting plate 311, a baffle 312, a soft pad 313, a vertical block 314, and a rotating shaft 315. A number of springs 301 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the box 1 in a rectangular array, equidistantly arranged to increase the support area for the protective plate 302 and improve the subsequent cushioning effect on fruits and vegetables. The upper end of the spring 301 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 302, and the buffer pad 303 is fixedly connected above the protective plate 302. An insert block 304 is movably connected inside the box 1. Slots are provided on the inner side wall of the box 1. The shape and size of the insert block 304 are matched to facilitate the loading and unloading of the elastic net 305 and the box 1, making it convenient to unload fruits and vegetables. The elastic net 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the insert block 304, and the fixing plates 306 are fixedly connected to both sides of the box 1. The fixing seat 307 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 306. The hydraulic push rod 308 is movably connected inside the fixing seat 307. The output end of the hydraulic push rod 308 is fixedly connected to the ring body 309. The crossbar 310 is movably connected inside the ring body 309. The two ends of the crossbar 310 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 311. The baffle 312 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 311. The soft pad 313 is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle 312. The upright block 314 is fixedly connected to the top of the box 1. The rotating shaft 315 is fixedly connected to one side of the upright block 314.

[0023] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 4 includes a horizontal plate 401, a threaded rod 402, a movable plate 403, an insert rod 404, and a guide rod 405. The horizontal plate 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. The threaded rod 402 is movably connected inside the horizontal plate 401. The lower end of the threaded rod 402 is movably connected to the movable plate 403. The insert rod 404 is fixedly connected below the movable plate 403. The guide rod 405 is fixedly connected above the movable plate 403. The guide rod 405 passes through the interior of the horizontal plate 401 and extends to the top of the horizontal plate 401. The guide rod 405 is movably connected to the horizontal plate 401, which facilitates limiting the angle when the height of the movable plate 403 is adjusted, and improves the stability of the height adjustment of the insert rod 404.

[0024] Working Principle: When using this flexible fruit and vegetable receiving device, first push the handle 5 to move the box 1 using the roller 2. After moving to the appropriate position, rotate the threaded rod 402. Then, through the mutual meshing of the threaded rod 402 and the threaded hole inside the horizontal plate 401, the height of the movable plate 403 is lowered. At the same time, the guide rod 405 moves downward from inside the horizontal plate 401, limiting the angle of the movable plate 403, causing the insertion rod 404 to insert into the soil, thereby locking the position of the box 1 and preventing displacement of the box 1. When the operator picks the fruits and vegetables and throws them into the elastic net 305 inside the box 1, the elasticity of the elastic net 305 first cushions the fruits and vegetables. At this time, the impact force continues downward, and then the elasticity of the spring 301 supports the protective plate 302 and the buffer pad 303 on the protective plate 302. The device is designed to provide secondary cushioning and protection for fruits and vegetables. It can also activate the hydraulic push rod 308, raising the height of the ring 309. Through the movable connection between the ring 309 and the crossbar 310, and the fixed connection between the crossbar 310 and the baffle 312 via the connecting plate 311, the baffle 312 is adjusted around the rotating shaft 315, providing some protection to the top of the box 1. This prevents fruits and vegetables from falling into the box 1 and detaching due to excessive cushioning force. It also prevents fruits and vegetables from falling out of the box 1 during subsequent transportation. When unloading is required, the insert block 304 is lifted upwards, detaching it from the box 1. This causes the elastic net 305 and the fruits and vegetables inside to separate from the box 1. Thus, the use of this flexible fruit and vegetable receiving device is completed.
