Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of banana ripening, and in particular to a banana ripening container. Background Technology

[0002] Banana ripening refers to the technique of using plant growth regulators such as ethephon to accelerate the ripening of unripe bananas after harvesting. This technology is an indispensable part of the banana industry chain. Because bananas need to be transported over long distances, unripe bananas must be harvested. Under natural conditions, bunches of bananas are unlikely to ripen evenly, and ethephon ripening effectively prevents rotting. Ripening rooms or containers are often used in the ripening process.

[0003] In the ripening process of bananas in containers, uneven temperature or humidity distribution inside the container can disrupt the uniformity of ripening, leading to inconsistent fruit maturity or even localized mold growth. Furthermore, if the carbon dioxide concentration produced during ripening exceeds a certain threshold, the ripening period will be prolonged. To ensure gas balance in the ripening environment, workers typically replace the gas inside the container by opening ventilation windows. However, because the bananas are stored in layers, the bananas on the lower layers do not have sufficient contact with fresh air, while the bananas on the upper layers are prone to excessive moisture loss under strong ventilation conditions, resulting in wrinkled skin, shriveled fruit, and other problems that affect their commercial value. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a banana ripening container that can deliver fresh air to each layer inside the container, thereby ensuring ventilation while preventing strong winds from directly contacting the bananas and causing problems such as peel wrinkling or fruit shriveling.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a banana ripening container, comprising: a ripening container, two doors and a ventilation mechanism, wherein the two doors are pivotally connected to the ripening container.

[0007] The ventilation system includes a mounting frame, two air inlet pipes, two connecting pipes, multiple sets of air outlet pipes, multiple sets of baffles, a mounting bracket, multiple fans, two air outlet frames, and a sealing assembly. The mounting frame penetrates the upper wall of the ripening container. The two air inlet pipes penetrate the two side walls of the mounting frame, and the two connecting pipes are connected to the other end of the corresponding air inlet pipes. The multiple sets of air outlet pipes are respectively installed on the outer walls of the corresponding connecting pipes. The multiple sets of baffles are respectively installed on the outer walls of the air outlet pipes. The mounting bracket is located inside the mounting frame. The multiple fans are respectively installed inside the mounting frame. The two air outlet frames penetrate the upper wall of the ripening container. The mounting frame and the two air outlet frames are equipped with sealing assemblies.

[0008] In addition, the banana ripening container proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0009] Specifically, the enclosure assembly includes three limiting plates, three sealing plates, a drive unit, and a mounting base. The inner walls of the mounting frame and the two air outlet frames are respectively provided with limiting grooves. The three limiting plates are slidably connected to their respective limiting grooves. The three sealing plates are respectively connected to their respective limiting plates. The output shaft of the drive unit is connected to the side wall of one of the sealing plates. The mounting base is located outside the drive unit and is mounted on the ripening container.

[0010] Specifically, each of the three limiting grooves is equipped with a sealing gasket.

[0011] Specifically, dustproof nets are installed inside the mounting frame and the two air outlet frames.

[0012] Specifically, the outer wall of the container is equipped with multiple ear plates.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: it can deliver fresh air to each layer inside the container, ensuring that each bunch of fruit receives sufficient oxygen exchange. At the same time, it prevents strong winds from directly impacting the banana peel. This protective mechanism effectively inhibits excessive moisture loss caused by strong winds, preventing storage and transportation losses such as banana peel shrinkage and fruit shriveling from the source, thus maximizing the freshness and commercial value of the bananas.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0022] The following describes an embodiment of the banana ripening container with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the banana ripening container of this utility model embodiment includes: ripening container 1, two doors 2 and ventilation mechanism 3.

[0024] Among them, the two door 2 are pivotally connected to the ripening container 1.

[0025] The ventilation mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 31, two air inlet pipes 32, two connecting pipes 33, multiple sets of air outlet pipes 34, multiple sets of wind deflectors 35, a mounting bracket 36, multiple fans 37, two air outlet frames 38, and a sealing assembly 39.

[0026] The mounting frame 31 penetrates the upper wall of the ripening container 1, two air inlet pipes 32 penetrate the two side walls of the mounting frame 31 respectively, two connecting pipes 33 are connected to the other end of the corresponding air inlet pipes 32 respectively, multiple sets of air outlet pipes 34 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the corresponding connecting pipes 33, multiple sets of wind baffles 35 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the air outlet pipes 34, the mounting frame 36 is installed inside the mounting frame 31, multiple fans 37 are respectively installed inside the mounting frame 31, two air outlet frames 38 penetrate the upper wall of the ripening container 1 respectively, and a sealing component 39 is installed inside the mounting frame 31 and the two air outlet frames 38.

[0027] The enclosure assembly 39 includes three limit plates 392, three sealing plates 393, a drive component 394, and a mounting base 395.

[0028] The inner walls of the mounting frame 31 and the two air outlet frames 38 are respectively provided with limiting grooves 391, the three limiting plates 392 are slidably connected to the corresponding limiting grooves 391, the three sealing plates 393 are respectively connected to the corresponding limiting plates 392, the output shaft of the driving component 394 is connected to the side wall of one of the sealing plates 393, the mounting seat 395 is disposed outside the driving component 394, and the mounting seat 395 is mounted on the ripening container 1.

[0029] It should be noted that the driving component 394 described in this embodiment is an electric push rod.

[0030] Specifically, when ventilation is required inside the ripening container 1, the staff can activate the drive component 394 with the help of an external control device. At this time, the drive component 394 will move the three sealing plates 393, and the three sealing plates 393 will move the limiting plate 392 along the limiting groove 391, thereby exposing the mounting frame 31 and the two air outlet frames 38.

[0031] At this time, the staff can use the external control device to turn on the multiple fans 37 inside the mounting frame 36. The multiple fans 37 will then transport fresh air and wind from the outside through the air inlet pipe 32 to the connecting pipe 33, and then through the air outlet pipe 34 to various positions inside the ripening container 1. When the air and wind are discharged through the air outlet pipe 34, the wind will be blocked by the wind baffle 35, thus spreading outwards along the edge of the wind baffle 35, thereby preventing problems such as banana peel wrinkling and fruit drying.

[0032] When ventilation is not required, staff can use an external control device to activate the drive unit 394. At this time, the drive unit 394 will move the three sealing plates 393, and the three sealing plates 393 will move the limiting plate 392 along the limiting groove 391, thereby keeping the mounting frame 31 and the two air outlet frames 38 in a closed state.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, sealing gaskets 4 are respectively provided in the three limiting grooves 391.

[0034] It is understandable that the sealing gasket 4 provided in the limiting groove 391 can seal the connection point between the limiting groove 391 and the sealing plate 393.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, dustproof nets 5 are respectively installed in the mounting frame 31 and the two air outlet frames 38.

[0036] It is understandable that by installing dustproof nets 5 inside the mounting frame 31 and the two air outlet frames 38, dust or insects can be prevented from entering the ripening container 1 when the mounting frame 31 and the two air outlet frames 38 are exposed, thereby preventing damage or contamination to the bananas inside the ripening container 1.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the ripening container 1 is provided with multiple ear plates 6.

[0038] It is understandable that by using multiple lugs 6 installed on the outer wall of container 1, workers can connect the container to a lifting device via cables through the lugs 6 when moving it.

[0039] In summary, this system delivers fresh air to all layers inside the container, ensuring each bunch of bananas receives ample oxygen exchange. It also prevents strong winds from directly impacting the banana peel. This protective mechanism effectively inhibits excessive moisture loss caused by strong winds, preventing damage during storage and transportation such as peel wrinkling and fruit shriveling, thus maximizing the freshness and commercial value of the bananas.
