Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage equipment, specifically to a device for extending the storage time of sweet potatoes at room temperature. Background Technology
[0002] After harvesting, grain crops generally need to be stored. Sweet potatoes are typically stored in cellars, where they are simply placed inside, taking advantage of the cellar's warm-winter, cool-summer environment to extend their shelf life. However, piling too many sweet potatoes together creates significant pressure at the bottom of the pile, and the lack of air circulation makes the bottom-heavy sweet potatoes prone to spoilage. Therefore, a device is needed to extend the storage time of sweet potatoes at room temperature. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, this utility model provides a device for extending the storage time of sweet potatoes at room temperature.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a device for extending the storage time of sweet potatoes at room temperature, including two sets of support frames, and multiple sets of sweet potato storage baskets can be detachably installed between the two sets of support frames. The sweet potato storage baskets have an opening on the top surface, ventilation holes on the sides and bottom surface, and an outwardly extending mounting plate is provided on the top side of the sweet potato storage basket.
[0005] To better realize this utility model, each set of support frames includes two columns, with a horizontal support rod between the two columns, and the mounting plate overlaps on the horizontal support rod.
[0006] To better realize this utility model, an arc-shaped part is provided on the mounting plate, which fits against the transverse support rod.
[0007] To better realize this utility model, the sweet potato storage basket has a trapezoidal cross-section, with the upper end being larger and the lower end smaller.
[0008] To better realize this utility model, each of the sweet potato storage baskets is equipped with a sand receiving trough at the bottom.
[0009] To better realize this utility model, a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the column, and an insertion plate corresponding to the sliding groove is provided on the side of the sand receiving groove.
[0010] To better realize this utility model, a handle for easy pulling is provided at the front end of the sand receiving trough.
[0011] To better realize this utility model, an elastic net is provided on the inner side of the sweet potato storage basket.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The device for extending the room-temperature storage time of sweet potatoes, through the cooperation of a support frame, sweet potato storage baskets, ventilation holes, and a mounting plate, allows for the installation of sweet potato storage baskets between two sets of support frames. Sweet potatoes are then placed in the baskets, followed by another layer of baskets, and so on. Multiple baskets separate the sweet potatoes, preventing severe crushing damage caused by piling them together. Paper scraps can be placed at the bottom of the storage baskets to absorb excess moisture and provide cushioning. Simultaneously, the ventilation holes allow air to pass through, preventing the sweet potatoes from rotting and spoiling. Attached Figure Description

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0022] Example:
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device for extending the room temperature storage time of sweet potatoes according to this utility model includes two sets of support frames. Multiple sweet potato storage baskets 2 are detachably installed between the two sets of support frames. Each sweet potato storage basket 2 has an opening on its top surface, and ventilation holes 6 on its sides and bottom. An outwardly extending mounting plate 3 is provided on the top side of each sweet potato storage basket 2. Through the cooperation of the support frames, sweet potato storage baskets 2, ventilation holes 6, and mounting plate 3, this device allows the sweet potato storage baskets 2 to be installed between the two sets of support frames. Then, sweet potatoes are placed in the sweet potato storage baskets 2, and another layer of sweet potato storage baskets 2 is installed, and so on. Multiple sweet potato storage baskets 2 separate the sweet potatoes, avoiding severe crushing damage caused by all the sweet potatoes piling up together. Paper scraps can be placed at the bottom of the sweet potato storage baskets 2 to absorb excess moisture from the sweet potatoes and also act as a cushion. Meanwhile, the ventilation holes 6 allow air to pass through, preventing the sweet potatoes from rotting and spoiling. It should be noted that sweet potatoes can also be placed in sweet potato storage baskets 2 first, and then each sweet potato storage basket 2 can be installed onto the support frame in sequence. The ventilation holes 6 not only allow air to pass through, but also facilitate the leakage of residue, allowing the mud and sand on the surface of the sweet potatoes to dry and fall off and leak out.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, each support frame includes two uprights 1, with a transverse support rod 4 positioned between the two uprights 1. The mounting plate 3 rests on the transverse support rod 4. More preferably, the mounting plate 3 has an arc-shaped portion 5 that fits snugly against the transverse support rod 4. With this design, during use, by holding the mounting plates 3 on both sides, the entire sweet potato storage basket 2 can be lifted, and then the mounting plate 3 can rest on the transverse support rod 4. The fit of the arc-shaped portion 5 against the transverse support rod 4 greatly improves stability.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the sweet potato storage basket 2 has a trapezoidal cross-section, with a larger top and a smaller bottom. This design facilitates the loading and unloading of sweet potatoes, and the base of the trapezoid provides stability when placed on the ground.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, each of the sweet potato storage baskets 2 is fitted with a sand-collecting trough 7 at its bottom. With this design, when the sweet potatoes are left for a period of time, the surface moisture evaporates, and the mud and sand adhering to the sweet potatoes fall off and can easily fall into the sand-collecting trough 7. Users can then collect the mud and sand and return it to the land, reducing waste.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the column 1, and an insertion plate 8 corresponding to the sliding groove is provided on the side of the sand receiving groove 7. This design allows the insertion plate 8 to mate with the sand receiving groove 7 during installation and removal, which is quite convenient.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, a handle 9 for easy pulling is provided at the front end of the sand receiving trough 7. With this design, the sand receiving trough 7 can be pulled out by holding the handle 9 during use, which is quite flexible and convenient.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, an elastic mesh is provided on the inner side of the sweet potato storage basket 2. This design can greatly reduce damage to sweet potatoes when they are placed into the sweet potato storage basket 2, and extend their storage time.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
