Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of egg transportation technology, and in particular relates to an egg transportation box. Background Technology

[0002] Egg transportation refers to the process of transporting eggs from the production site to various sales points or consumers. Because eggs are relatively fragile and oval-shaped, they are mostly placed in packaging boxes for transportation and storage to provide restraint and cushioning.

[0003] A search revealed that patent announcement number CN206885843U, published on January 16, 2018, discloses a transport box for eggs. The box includes a hexagonal cross-section box body and a lid. A shock-absorbing and limiting pad made of elastic material is provided on the bottom plate of the box body. This pad consists of multiple hexagonal limiting bodies connected at one side in a honeycomb structure. Each limiting body has a circular through-hole, and four rectangular fine-tuning through-holes are evenly distributed along the circumference of these through-holes, with the limiting through-holes and fine-tuning through-holes communicating with each other. This invention provides good shock absorption, reducing the breakage rate of eggs during transportation.

[0004] Existing technology places eggs into a limiting hole, and the shock-absorbing limiting pad in the box and the lid work together to provide cushioning and shock absorption for the eggs. However, in actual use, the height of the limiting hole is fixed, which is not convenient for placing eggs of different sizes stably. At the same time, the effect of providing cushioning and shock absorption for the eggs by relying solely on the shock-absorbing limiting pad and the lid is poor. Therefore, we provide an egg transport box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an egg transport box that solves the problem that existing technologies are not convenient for placing eggs of different sizes stably, and that the shock-absorbing and limiting pads and the lid alone are not very effective in providing cushioning and shock absorption for eggs.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to an egg transport box, comprising an elastic plate with storage grooves evenly distributed on the elastic plate. The bottom of each storage groove has a protrusion. A lower buffer is provided below the elastic plate. A lower shell is provided outside the elastic plate and the lower buffer. An upper buffer is provided above the elastic plate. An upper shell is provided outside the upper buffer. Multiple limiting protrusions are fixed along the edge of the upper wall of the upper shell. A limiting hole, which is adapted to the limiting protrusion, is opened on the lower wall of the lower shell at the location of the limiting protrusion.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the upper wall of the upper housing is uniformly provided with upper through holes, and the four corner positions of the upper buffer are provided with positioning posts with interference fit. The upper end of the positioning post is fixedly connected to the upper housing, and the left and right side walls of the upper housing are symmetrically provided with plastic buckle male buckles.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that female plastic buckles that cooperate with male plastic buckles are symmetrically fixed on the left and right side walls of the lower housing, and limiting strips are symmetrically fixed on the front and rear side walls of the lower housing.

[0010] The present invention is further provided in that the lower wall of the lower housing is provided with a plurality of lower through holes evenly distributed, and the front and rear sides and the left and right sides of the lower wall of the lower housing are all provided with protruding strips.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that positioning tubes sleeved on the outside of positioning posts are fixed at the four corner positions of the elastic plate, flanges are fixed at the edge of the lower wall of the elastic plate, and recesses are provided on the front and rear sides and the corresponding left and right sides of the storage groove on the elastic plates.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model features a protrusion located at the bottom of the storage tank. When an egg is placed inside the storage tank, the bottom of the egg contacts the protrusion. When the upper shell is placed on top of the lower shell, the protrusion, being elastic, exerts a downward force on the larger egg during the closing process. This causes the bottom of the larger egg to deform under the downward force of the protrusion until the upper shell is completely closed over the lower shell. Therefore, by utilizing the deformable characteristic of the protrusion, both large and small eggs can be securely fixed in the storage tank, improving the stability of egg placement.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by setting up a lower shell, an upper buffer, and a lower buffer, provides protection for the elastic plate through the lower shell, preventing the elastic plate from being directly subjected to external impact forces, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the egg. At the same time, the lower buffer and the upper buffer are located below and above the egg, respectively. With the cooperation of the lower buffer and the upper buffer, as well as the function of the storage groove, all-round protection for the egg is achieved during transportation, improving the shock absorption and cushioning effect of the egg and reducing the breakage rate of the egg.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model is an egg transport box, including an elastic plate 5, on which storage slots 501 are evenly provided. Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cross-section of the storage slot 501 is mostly elliptical, and the minor axis of the storage slot 501 is located below the elastic plate 5. This design makes the top diameter of the storage slot 501 slightly smaller than the diameter of its minor axis. When an egg enters the storage slot 501, this design helps to keep the egg within the slot, reducing shaking or detachment. The bottom of the storage slot 501 has a protrusion 501a for supporting the egg and automatically adapting to eggs of different sizes. A lower buffer 4 is located below the elastic plate 5, and a lower shell 2 is located outside the elastic plate 5 and the lower buffer 4. An upper buffer 3 is located above the elastic plate 5. The upper buffer 3 and the lower buffer 4 provide support for the egg. For cushioning and shock absorption, the upper cushioning foam 3 is provided with an upper shell 1. The cooperation between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 provides protection against external forces for the egg. Multiple limiting protrusions 102 are fixed along the edge of the upper wall of the upper shell 1. The upper edge of the limiting protrusions 102 is chamfered to facilitate smooth passage through the limiting holes 203. The lower wall of the lower shell 2 is provided with a limiting hole 203 that matches the limiting protrusions 102. When the egg is transported and stacked, the lower shell 2 is operated so that the limiting protrusions 102 in the upper shell 1 below it are inserted into the limiting holes 203 in the lower shell 2. The limiting holes 203 and the limiting protrusions 102 prevent the lower shell 2 from moving horizontally with the upper shell 1 below it in the stacked state.

[0028] For details, please read in detail. Figure 2-5 As shown, the upper wall of the upper shell 1 is uniformly provided with upper perforations 103. Preferably, the upper buffer foam 3 at the location of the upper perforation 103 is provided with a through hole. Since the storage temperature of eggs needs to be controlled during transportation, the fit between the upper perforation 103 and the through hole facilitates the entry of cold air into the storage space of the eggs. The four corners of the upper buffer foam 3 are provided with positioning posts 101 with interference fit. The positioning posts 101 are inserted into the interior of the corresponding positioning tubes 504 to reduce the overall deformation of the elastic plate 5. The interior of the positioning posts 101 is hollow. The upper end of the positioning posts 101 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 1. The left and right side walls of the upper shell 1 are symmetrically provided with plastic buckle male buckles 104. The plastic buckle male buckles 104 are elastic.

[0029] Read in detail Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the left and right side walls of the lower housing 2 are symmetrically fixed with plastic snap-fit ​​female snap-fit ​​202 that cooperate with the plastic snap-fit ​​male snap-fit ​​104. The cooperation between the plastic snap-fit ​​male snap-fit ​​104 and the plastic snap-fit ​​female snap-fit ​​202 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the upper housing 1. The front and rear side walls of the lower housing 2 are symmetrically fixed with limiting strips 204 to prevent the upper housing 1 from moving relative to the lower housing 2. In order to facilitate the installation of the upper housing 1, the cross-section of the limiting strip 204 is set as a right trapezoid, and the inclined surface is close to the side of the upper housing 1.

[0030] Read in detail Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the lower wall of the lower shell 2 is uniformly provided with a plurality of lower perforations 201. A through hole is provided on the lower buffer foam 4 at the location of the lower perforation 201. Since the storage temperature of eggs needs to be controlled during transportation, the cooperation between the lower perforation 201 and the through hole facilitates the entry of cold air into the storage space of the eggs. The front and rear sides and the left and right sides of the lower wall of the lower shell 2 are all fixed with protrusions 205.

[0031] Read in detail Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, positioning tubes 504 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the elastic plate 5, which are sleeved on the outside of the positioning post 101. The interior of the positioning tubes 504 is connected to the upper space of the elastic plate 5. A flange 502 is fixedly installed along the edge of the lower wall of the elastic plate 5. The bottom of the flange 502 contacts the lower wall inside the lower housing 2. Recesses 503 are provided on the front and rear sides and the corresponding left and right sides of the elastic plate 5 of the storage slot 501. The size of the opening of the storage slot 501 can be finely adjusted through the recesses 503 so that the eggs can enter the interior of the storage slot 501.

[0032] It should be noted that the elastic plate 5, storage groove 501, protrusion 501a, flange 502, recess 503 and positioning tube 504 are integrally formed and can be made of PVC material. The upper shell 1, plastic buckle male buckle 104, limiting boss 102, positioning post 101, lower shell 2, plastic buckle female buckle 202, protrusion 205 and limiting strip 204 can all be made of plastic material. Among them, the upper shell 1, plastic buckle male buckle 104, limiting boss 102 and positioning post 101 are integrally formed, while the lower shell 2, plastic buckle female buckle 202, limiting strip 204 and protrusion 205 are integrally formed.

[0033] Operation process: When removing the egg, push the lower end of the male plastic buckle 104 outward to disengage it from the female plastic buckle 202. Move the upper shell 1 upward until the positioning post 101 disengages from the positioning tube 504. Then, the egg can be removed. When placing the egg, place the egg into the storage slot 501 in sequence. Then, move the upper shell 1 to the lower shell 2 until the upper shell 1 contacts the lower shell 2 and the male plastic buckle 104 is engaged with the outside of the female plastic buckle 202.
