Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grape harvesting technology, specifically to a grape harvesting and storage basket. Background Technology

[0002] When harvesting grapes, people usually use harvesting baskets. However, most harvesting baskets currently in use do not have an inner layer with a dividing structure. When using them, the freshly picked grapes are directly piled up in the basket. The bunches of grapes are pressed against each other, which can cause the grapes at the bottom to break, thus affecting the appearance of the grapes. Furthermore, because the skin of grapes is thin, if the grapes are bumped or knocked during the movement of the harvesting basket, it will not only increase the damage to the grapes at the bottom, but also cause a certain degree of economic loss.

[0003] Utility model patent CN216469103U discloses a grape harvesting and storage basket, including a storage basket with a top cover and a base. The base has a fixing groove on its side, a storage component below the fixing groove, a groove on its inner side, and a handle on its side. A support component is located inside the storage basket, and a placement basket is positioned above the support component. This utility model incorporates a placement basket inside the storage basket, dividing the interior of the storage basket into a multi-layered structure. The inner side of the placement basket is lined with a soft, breathable protective pad to prevent damage to the grapes from bumps. The storage basket and placement basket are also designed with a breathable structure to prevent grape spoilage and rot caused by poor air circulation and stuffy conditions inside the storage basket. Furthermore, a storage component is located below the base, containing an elastic band that secures the placement basket and the storage basket together.

[0004] The existing technology still has some problems: 1. Although multiple layers of placement baskets and soft, breathable protective padding are used, the grapes are all laid flat in the placement baskets. The vibration and shaking generated during transportation will cause the grapes to squeeze and collide with each other, which cannot avoid damage to the grapes.

[0005] 2. After harvesting and storing the grapes, they need to be transported to a designated area. Manual handling is too physically demanding, so we usually use wheeled carts to push them to the designated location. However, the terrain in grape-growing areas is rugged and complex, making it difficult for wheeled carts to pass.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide a grape picking and storage basket.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A grape harvesting and storage basket includes a basket with several pull-out drawers slidably connected to its front end. Each drawer has several storage cavities with openings at the top. Each storage cavity contains protective material to create a protective space. Both the basket and the storage cavities have breathable structures that communicate with the internal and external environments. A support plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the basket. Several casters are mounted on both sides of the lower end of the support plate, and the casters are connected to the support plate via several sets of obstacle-crossing and shock-absorbing mechanisms. These mechanisms work in conjunction with the casters to overcome obstacles and protect the grapes inside the storage cavities.

[0010] As an improvement, a flip cover is rotatably connected to the upper end of the storage cavity, and the flip cover can be snapped onto the drawer.

[0011] As an improvement, the protective material is protective silicone, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity and the lower end of the flip cover, and the protective silicone completely covers the inside of the storage cavity.

[0012] As an improvement, the ventilated structure includes several vent holes one, two, and three. Vent hole one is opened on the storage basket, vent hole two is opened on the flip cover, and vent hole three is opened on the inner wall of the storage cavity. Vent hole two and vent hole three both pass through the protective silicone and connect the inner and outer spaces of the storage cavity.

[0013] As an improvement, handles are fixedly connected to the upper end of the flip cover and the front end of the drawer.

[0014] As an improvement, the obstacle-crossing shock absorption mechanism is located on the front and rear sides of the bearing plate. The obstacle-crossing shock absorption mechanism includes connecting blocks arranged at the front and rear. The connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the side wall of the bearing plate. Rotating plates are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the connecting blocks on both sides. The upper ends of the front and rear rotating plates are opposite to each other and the lower ends are close to each other. A central shaft is fixedly inserted into the lower end of the rotating plate. The front and rear central shafts are connected to each other by a rotatable connecting rod.

[0015] As an improvement, a second rotating plate is rotatably connected to the central shaft. The second rotating plate is located between the connecting rod and the first rotating plate, with the upper ends of the second rotating plate close to each other and the lower ends far apart.

[0016] As an improvement, a damping rod is provided below the second rotating plate, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the damping rod. The upper fixing block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second rotating plate, and the moving wheel is rotatably connected to both sides of the lower fixing block.

[0017] As an improvement, a damping spring is sleeved on the outside of the damping rod, and the upper and lower ends of the damping spring are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower fixing blocks.

[0018] As an improvement, a push plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the bearing plate.

[0019] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: 1. By utilizing the partition structure of the storage cavity, direct contact between grapes is avoided, reducing the risk of collision and squeezing from the source. The protective material inside the storage cavity forms a buffer layer, reducing the impact of external impact on the grapes. The protective material inside the storage cavity forms a buffer layer, using its elasticity and softness to wrap the grapes, absorb and buffer the impact force, and prevent the grapes from being directly damaged by hard impact.

[0020] 2. When the device is pushed, the moving wheels roll to achieve overall movement. The obstacle-crossing and shock-absorbing mechanism assists the moving wheels in overcoming obstacles, while reducing vibration and preventing grapes from being damaged by vibration.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Combined with appendix Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a grape harvesting and storage basket, including a storage basket 1. Several pull-out drawers 2 are slidably connected to the front end of the storage basket 1. A handle is fixedly connected to the front end of the drawer 2. Several storage cavities 3 with openings at the top are opened at the top of the drawer 2. Each bunch of grapes is placed into a separate storage cavity 3, which can prevent the grapes from meeting, colliding, and being squeezed during transportation, thus playing a role in individual protection. In order to further improve the protective performance, several protective materials are provided in the storage cavity 3 to form a protective space. Both the storage basket 1 and the storage cavity 3 have a breathable structure that communicates with the internal and external environment. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage basket 1. Several moving wheels 5 are arranged on the front and back sides of the lower end of the support plate 4. The moving wheels 5 are connected to the support plate 4 through several sets of obstacle-crossing and shock-absorbing mechanisms. The obstacle-crossing and shock-absorbing mechanisms work together with the moving wheels 5 to overcome obstacles and protect the grapes in the storage cavity 3.

[0031] Working principle: The user pulls drawer 2 out of storage basket 1 using the handle at the front of drawer 2, and places the picked grapes into the independent storage cavity 3 at the top of drawer 2 by bunch. The partition structure of storage cavity 3 avoids direct contact between grapes, reducing the risk of collision and squeezing from the source. The protective material inside storage cavity 3 forms a buffer layer to reduce the impact of external impact on grapes. The ventilation structure on storage basket 1 and storage cavity 3 keeps air circulating and prevents grapes from spoiling due to heat. When the device is pushed, the moving wheels 5 roll to achieve overall movement. The obstacle-crossing and shock-absorbing mechanism assists the moving wheels 5 in overcoming obstacles, while reducing vibration and preventing damage to grapes due to vibration.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] To further illustrate the protective material in Embodiment 1, this utility model also provides Embodiment 2, in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 2-3As shown, in Embodiment 2, a flip cover 6 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the storage cavity 3, and a handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the flip cover 6. The flip cover 6 can be snapped onto the drawer 2. The protective material is protective silicone 7, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity 3 and the lower end of the flip cover 6, respectively, and the protective silicone 7 completely covers the inside of the storage cavity 3.

[0034] Working principle: After the grapes are placed in the storage cavity 3, hold the handle at the top of the flip cover 6 and rotate the flip cover 6 to lock it onto the drawer 2, sealing the grapes inside the storage cavity 3 to prevent them from falling out during movement. The inner wall of the storage cavity 3 and the protective silicone 7 at the bottom of the flip cover 6 completely cover the inside of the storage cavity 3, using its elasticity and softness to wrap the grapes. When subjected to external impact or vibration, the protective silicone 7 deforms, absorbing and buffering the impact force, preventing the grapes from being directly damaged by hard impact. The protective silicone 7 itself has a certain degree of breathability.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] To further illustrate the breathable structure in Embodiment 1, this utility model also provides Embodiment 3, in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1-3 As shown, in Embodiment 3, the ventilated structure includes several vent holes 1 8, vent holes 2 9 and vent holes 3 10. Vent holes 1 8 are opened on the storage basket 1, vent holes 2 9 are opened on the flip cover 6, and vent holes 3 10 are opened on the inner wall of the storage cavity 3. Vent holes 2 9 and vent holes 3 10 both pass through the protective silicone 7 and connect the inner and outer spaces of the storage cavity 3.

[0037] Working principle: Vent 1 8 is opened on the storage basket 1 to realize the air exchange between the inside of the storage basket 1 and the outside. Vent 2 9 is opened on the flip cover 6, and vent 3 10 is opened on the inner wall of the storage cavity 3. Both vents pass through the protective silicone 7, so that the inside of the storage cavity 3 is connected to the inside of the storage basket 1. Fresh air from the outside enters the storage basket 1 through vent 1 8, and then enters the storage cavity 3 through vent 3 10. The gas produced by the grapes' respiration in the storage cavity 3 is discharged into the storage basket 1 through vent 2 9 and vent 3 10, and finally disperses to the outside through vent 1 8, forming a circulation and preventing the grapes from spoiling and rotting.

[0038] Example 4:

[0039] To further illustrate the obstacle-crossing shock absorption mechanism in Embodiment 1, this utility model also provides Embodiment 4, in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figure 5, in Embodiment 4, the obstacle-crossing shock absorption mechanism is disposed on the front and rear parts of both sides of the bearing plate 4. The obstacle-crossing shock absorption mechanism includes connecting blocks 11 arranged at the front and rear. The connecting blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the bearing plate 4. Rotating plates 12 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the connecting blocks 11 on both sides. The upper ends of the front and rear rotating plates 12 are far apart and the lower ends are close together. A central shaft 13 is fixedly inserted into the lower end of the rotating plates 12. The front and rear central shafts 13 are connected to each other by a connecting rod 14. A rotating plate 2 15 is rotatably connected to the central shaft 13. The rotating plate 2 15 is located between the connecting rod 14 and the rotating plate 12. The upper ends of the front and rear rotating plates 2 15 are close together and the lower ends are far apart.

[0040] Meanwhile, a damping rod 16 is provided below the rotating plate 2 15. The upper and lower ends of the damping rod 16 are fixedly connected to the fixing blocks 17. The upper fixing block 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating plate 2 15. The moving wheel 5 is rotatably connected to both sides of the lower fixing block 17. A damping spring 18 is sleeved on the outside of the damping rod 16. The upper and lower ends of the damping spring 18 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower fixing blocks 17 respectively. A push plate 19 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the bearing plate 4.

[0041] Working principle: When the push plate 19 is pushed forward and encounters an obstacle, the moving wheel 5 will be lifted by the obstacle, thereby lifting the damping rod 16 and the rotating plate 15 on it, causing them to rotate. At this time, the connecting rod 14 and the rotating plate 12 rotate simultaneously. The connecting rod 14 moves in a circle around the rear central axis 13, and the rotating plate 12 moves in a circle around the connecting block 11 until the two are stretched and the included angle is flat. At this time, the moving wheel 5 is raised to its highest height to pass over the obstacle. Then, it falls back under its own gravity. At this time, the obstacle is between the front and rear moving wheels 5. When it encounters the rear moving wheel 5, the above process is repeated to complete the obstacle crossing. In this whole process, the damping rod 16 consumes vibration energy through its damping characteristics, and the damping spring 18 absorbs the impact force through its elastic deformation. The two work together to reduce the impact of vibration on the bearing plate 4 and the storage basket 1, and finally complete the functions of shock absorption and obstacle crossing.

[0042] In summary, the grape harvesting and storage basket provided by this utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0043] By utilizing the partition structure of the storage cavity 3, direct contact between grapes is avoided, reducing the risk of collision and squeezing from the source. The protective material inside the storage cavity 3 forms a buffer layer to reduce the impact of external impacts on the grapes.

[0044] The protective silicone 7 on the inner wall of the storage cavity 3 and the lower end of the flip cover 6 completely covers the inside of the storage cavity 3. It uses its elasticity and softness to wrap the grapes. When subjected to external impact or vibration, the protective silicone 7 deforms to absorb and buffer the impact force, preventing the grapes from being directly damaged by hard impact.

[0045] When the device is pushed, the moving wheel 5 rolls to achieve overall movement. The obstacle-crossing and shock-absorbing mechanism assists the moving wheel 5 in overcoming obstacles, while reducing vibration and preventing grapes from being damaged by vibration.

[0046] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
