Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable basket technology, specifically, it relates to a fresh-keeping and transfer device for agricultural products. Background Technology

[0002] Greenhouse cultivation technology can increase the yield and quality of agricultural products, enable off-season vegetable planting, conserve resources and protect the environment, and reduce pests, diseases, and pesticide use. Therefore, modern agricultural products are often grown in centralized greenhouses, mainly by farmers planting in fields, with vegetable vendors purchasing the produce from the fields and then transporting it to markets for sale, thus forming a stable supply and demand relationship.

[0003] When farmers harvest vegetables in greenhouses, they first bundle them into small bunches, then stack the bunches in baskets, and finally wrap them with plastic wrap. Before transferring them to vegetable vendors, the farmers immerse the baskets in water. This process increases the total weight of the baskets, potentially increasing the farmers' income, and also increases the moisture content of the produce and eliminates heat generated while the produce is piled in the baskets, thus improving freshness. Finally, the baskets are removed from the water tank, and after the water has drained, they are handed over to the vendors.

[0004] Currently, in existing technologies, when farmers stack vegetable bunches in vegetable baskets, in order to save basket usage and facilitate subsequent soaking, pickling, and stacking and transfer, they stack the bunches to half or even more than the height of the basket. This process requires inserting four steel pipes into the four corners of the basket to ensure the stability of the bunches and prevent them from collapsing when wrapped with plastic wrap. After wrapping with plastic wrap, some holes are cut in the plastic wrap for heat dissipation, and then the steel pipes are removed. Because vegetable baskets are not specialized transport containers for agricultural products, the operation is relatively cumbersome, has poor stability, and is prone to damaging the agricultural products, resulting in poor preservation and failing to meet the needs of farmers. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems in existing technologies, such as the inability of vegetable baskets to meet farmers' needs for packing agricultural products, which easily damages the products and reduces their preservation effect, as well as the cumbersome process of packing agricultural products, this utility model provides a preservation and transfer device for agricultural products.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fresh-keeping and transporting device for agricultural products includes a vegetable basket; the upper part of the vegetable basket is provided with a flange, which has an outward-turned structure; the side wall and bottom of the vegetable basket are provided with first drainage holes; the two sides of the vegetable basket along the width direction are provided with first side panels; the two ends of the vegetable basket along the length direction are provided with second side panels; the upper flange of the vegetable basket is provided with through grooves corresponding to the positions of the first side panels and the second side panels, and the through grooves are the same size as the corresponding first side panels and the second side panels, respectively, for the first side panels and the second side panels to pass through.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first and second enclosures are fixedly equipped with anti-detachment parts at their upper parts.

[0009] Furthermore, the first and second enclosures are each provided with a second drain hole at the position corresponding to the first drain hole. The first and second drain holes are the same size and shape, and can overlap each other after the first and second enclosures have completely slid down from the through groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a corresponding support plate groove is provided on the lower part of the first enclosure and the upper part of the frame walls on both sides of the frame; a partition plate is inserted into the support plate groove.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of each of the multiple partitions is connected to a common connection plate.

[0012] Furthermore, symmetrical through holes are provided on both sides of the lower part of the second enclosure and on the upper part of the frame wall; support rods are inserted into the through holes.

[0013] Furthermore, after the support rod is inserted into the through rod hole and the partition is inserted into the support plate groove, the upper part of the support rod intersects with the partition, and an arc-shaped groove is opened on the part of the partition that intersects with the support rod.

[0014] Furthermore, each support rod is fixed with a limiting block at the position corresponding to each partition. The limiting block is perpendicular to the support rod and has a semi-circular rectangular structure at its outer end. A limiting groove is formed on the partition corresponding to the position of the limiting block, which allows the limiting block to be flipped downward. The through hole is composed of a round hole, a rectangular hole and a semi-circular hole from bottom to top, and its shape and size match the combination shape and size of the support rod and the limiting block.

[0015] Furthermore, the basket has a frame handle groove at the middle of both ends along its length; the second side panel has a board handle groove at the middle of its upper part.

[0016] Furthermore, the first and second enclosures are moved upward to form a semi-closed cavity structure at the top of the basket. After the partition is inserted into the support plate groove, the limiting block of the support rod is aligned upward and inserted into the rod hole. When each limiting block moves to the corresponding limiting groove position, the support rod is rotated 90° so that the limiting groove restricts the position of the limiting block and prevents it from moving axially.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. The agricultural product preservation and transfer device provided by this utility model is designed with a vegetable basket structure. Through the cooperation of the first and second partitions, the stacked agricultural products can be protected and shielded, increasing the usable space of the vegetable basket and allowing more agricultural products to be stacked freely. Furthermore, since the agricultural products stacked on the upper layer of the partition are isolated from the agricultural products stacked on the lower layer of the partition, and the upper layer of agricultural products is supported by the partition and the support rod, there will be no squeezing, thereby preventing the agricultural products from being squeezed and damaged, and avoiding a decrease in the freshness of the agricultural products.

[0019] 2. This utility model, through the design of the first and second drainage holes that can overlap with each other, can be used as a regular vegetable basket when the first and second side panels are lowered, and as a vegetable basket for farmers to stack vegetables when the first and second side panels are raised. The design of the handle and lifting groove makes it convenient for farmers to grasp and transport the basket, which has multiple usage scenarios and improves its practicality.

[0033] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below:

[0034] When farmers pack the vegetable bunches before transporting their produce, they do so by following these steps:

[0035] The first step is to insert the first panel 4 and the second panel 5 from top to bottom through the through-panel groove 8, using the anti-detachment part 6 to prevent the first panel 4 and the second panel 5 from falling off.

[0036] The second step is to place the vegetable bunches in the vegetable basket 1 until the vegetable bunches are piled up below the support plate groove 11.

[0037] The third step involves moving the first enclosure 4 and the second enclosure 5 upwards to form a semi-closed cavity structure on the upper part of the vegetable basket 1. Then, the partition 12 is inserted into the support plate groove 11. Next, the position of the limiting block 16 of the support rod 15 is adjusted upwards and inserted into the through rod hole 14. After each limiting block 16 moves to the corresponding limiting groove 18 position, the support rod 15 is rotated 90° so that the limiting groove 18 restricts the position of the limiting block 16 and prevents it from moving axially. Through the restriction of the partition 12 and the support plate, the first enclosure 4 and the second enclosure 5 are prevented from falling out of the through plate groove 8, and the support plate is also prevented from falling out of the through rod groove in the partition 12 support plate groove 11.

[0038] The fourth step is to continue arranging the vegetables on the partition 12 and support rod 15 until the vegetables are stacked to the top of the semi-enclosed cavity structure formed by the first partition 4 and the second partition 5.

[0039] Fifth step: Using the first enclosure 4 and the second enclosure 5 as supports, wrap the plastic wrap around the outside and top of the first enclosure 4 and the second enclosure 5, and poke holes in the plastic wrap.

[0040] When the vegetable vendor is unpacking the bundled vegetables, the steps of packing the bundles can be reversed to remove the produce from the vegetable basket 1.

[0041] The agricultural product preservation and transfer device provided by this utility model is designed with a vegetable basket 1 structure. Through the cooperation of the first partition 4 and the second partition 5, the stacked agricultural products can be protected and shielded, increasing the usable space of the vegetable basket 1 and allowing more agricultural products to be stacked freely. Furthermore, since the agricultural products stacked on the upper layer of the partition 12 are isolated from the agricultural products stacked on the lower layer of the partition 12, and the upper layer of agricultural products is supported by the partition 12 and the support rod 15, there will be no squeezing, thereby preventing the agricultural products from being squeezed and damaged, and avoiding a decrease in the freshness of the agricultural products.

[0042] The design of the first drain hole 3 and the second drain hole 7, which can overlap with each other, allows it to be used as a regular vegetable basket 1 when the first enclosure 4 and the second enclosure 5 are lowered, and as a vegetable basket 1 for farmers to stack vegetables when the first enclosure 4 and the second enclosure 5 are raised. The setting of the handle groove 10 makes it convenient for farmers to grasp and transport it, which has multiple usage scenarios and improves its practicality.
