[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a fruit preservation and storage display cabinet includes a cabinet body 2 and a partition 9. A support mechanism is provided at the upper end of the cabinet body 2. The support mechanism is used to place fruits and arrange them neatly. The support mechanism includes a first base plate 17 and a second base plate 18. Placement grooves 19 are opened on the upper surfaces of the first base plate 17 and the second base plate 18. A soft pad 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the placement groove 19.
[0024] Furthermore, a water collection mechanism is provided at the lower end of the support mechanism. The water collection mechanism is used to collect condensate. The water collection mechanism includes a water collection plate 14. The upper left end of the water collection plate 14 is fixedly connected to the support plate 16, and the lower right end of the water collection plate 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the right end of the cabinet 2, corresponding to the first bottom plate 17 and the second bottom plate 18 at its upper end.
[0025] In this design, the display cabinet collects and treats condensation dripping from the fruit surface by opening water-spraying holes 7 on the bottom plate and setting a water-collecting plate 14 at the lower end of the bottom plate, preventing the lower part of the fruit from getting wet. Simultaneously, an upward-blowing fan 10 is installed at the upper right end of the cabinet 2 to prevent cold air loss and also to prevent cold air from blowing directly onto customers. When using this equipment, small fruits are first neatly arranged on the upper first bottom plate 17, and large fruits are neatly arranged on the lower second bottom plate 18. This is to prevent large fruits from rolling off and damaging small fruits. Furthermore, the bottom plates can be replaced with different sized placement slots 19 as needed to accommodate fruits of different sizes. When the refrigeration unit 1 and the fan 10 are started, the cold air blown out by the refrigeration unit 1 enters the guide pipe 5 through the refrigeration duct 3 and the guide channel 4, and finally blows onto the fruit through the air outlet 20 on the guide pipe 5 to cool and preserve the fruit. When the cold air goes down the slope and reaches the edge of the cabinet 2, it will be blocked by the air wall blown by the fan 10 to prevent the cold air from escaping and to prevent the cold air from blowing onto the customer to avoid making the customer feel uncomfortable. At this time, because the cold air sinks, the cold air blocked by the fan 10 at an angle will be recycled. The condensation on the surface of the fruit will enter the water storage tank 13 through the water spray hole 7 and the water collection plate 14. The water storage tank 13 can be removed for easy replacement or cleaning of the internal water.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the first base plate 17 and the second base plate 18, as well as the soft pad 8 fixedly connected to their upper ends, are all provided with water spraying holes 7.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a support plate 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the left end of the cabinet 2. The support plate 16 corresponds to the first bottom plate 17, and a guide groove 4 is provided inside the longitudinal plate at the left end of the cabinet 2.
[0029] In this setup, when using this device, small fruits are first neatly arranged on the upper surface of the first base plate 17, and large fruits are neatly arranged on the lower surface of the second base plate 18. This is done to prevent large fruits from rolling off and damaging small fruits. The base plates can be replaced with different sizes of placement slots 19 as needed to accommodate fruits of different sizes.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in a specific embodiment, a refrigeration unit 1 is fixedly installed at the lower left end inside the cabinet 2. A refrigeration pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the refrigeration unit 1. The other end of the refrigeration pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate inside the cabinet 2 and communicates with the lower end of the guide groove 4.
[0031] In this setup, the refrigeration unit 1 and the fan 10 are started. The cold air blown out by the refrigeration unit 1 enters the guide pipe 5 through the refrigeration duct 3 and the guide channel 4, and finally blows onto the fruit through the air outlet 20 on the guide pipe 5 to cool and preserve the fruit.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a guide pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the upper left end of the cabinet 2. The internal channel of the guide pipe 5 is connected to the upper end of the guide groove 4, and an air outlet 20 is opened at the lower right end of the guide pipe 5.
[0033] In this setup, the refrigeration unit 1 and the fan 10 are started. The cold air blown out by the refrigeration unit 1 enters the guide pipe 5 through the refrigeration duct 3 and the guide channel 4, and finally blows onto the fruit through the air outlet 20 on the guide pipe 5 to cool and preserve the fruit.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a drain pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the lower right end of the water collection plate 14, and a receiving groove 15 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drain pipe 11, corresponding to the through hole opened at the upper right end of the receiving groove 15. The lower end of the receiving groove 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cabinet 2, and a water storage tank 13 is installed inside the receiving groove 15.
[0035] In this setup, condensation on the fruit surface enters the water storage tank 13 through the water spray hole 7 and the water collection plate 14. The water storage tank 13 can be removed for easy replacement or cleaning of the internal water.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a folding handle 12 is movably installed in the receiving groove opened on the outer right side of the water storage tank 13, and a water inlet is opened on the upper right side of the water storage tank 13, which corresponds to the lower end of the drain pipe 11.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the specific embodiment, a fan 10 is fixedly connected to the upper right end of the cabinet 2, and the air outlet of the fan 10 is tilted upward.
[0039] In this setup, when the cold air flows down the slope and reaches the edge of the cabinet 2, it will be blocked by the air wall blown out by the fan 10 to prevent the cold air from escaping and to prevent the cold air from blowing towards the customer, thus avoiding making the customer feel uncomfortable. At this time, because the cold air sinks downward, the cold air blocked by the fan 10 at an angle upward will be recycled.
[0040] The implementation principle of a fruit preservation and storage display cabinet in this embodiment is as follows:
[0041] This utility model display cabinet collects and treats condensation dripping from the fruit surface by opening water-spraying holes 7 on the bottom plate and setting a water collection plate 14 at the lower end of the bottom plate, preventing the lower part of the fruit from getting wet. Simultaneously, an upward-blowing fan 10 is installed at the upper right end of the cabinet 2 to prevent cold air loss, achieving energy-saving effects and preventing cold air from blowing directly onto customers. When using this equipment, small fruits are first neatly arranged on the upper first bottom plate 17, and large fruits are neatly arranged on the lower second bottom plate 18. This is to prevent large fruits from rolling off and damaging small fruits. The bottom plates can be replaced with different sized placement slots 19 as needed to accommodate fruits of different sizes. Then, the... The refrigerator 1 and the fan 10 are activated. The cold air blown out by the refrigerator 1 enters the guide pipe 5 through the refrigeration duct 3 and the guide channel 4, and finally blows onto the fruit through the air outlet 20 on the guide pipe 5 to cool and keep the fruit fresh. When the cold air goes down the slope and reaches the edge of the cabinet 2, it will be blocked by the air wall blown by the fan 10 to prevent the cold air from escaping and to prevent the cold air from blowing onto the customers to avoid making them feel uncomfortable. At this time, because the cold air sinks, the cold air blocked by the fan 10 at an angle will be recycled to achieve the effect of energy saving. The condensation on the surface of the fruit will enter the water storage tank 13 through the water spray hole 7 and the water collection plate 14. The water storage tank 13 can be removed for easy replacement or cleaning of the internal water.
