Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for fruit preservation inhibitors, specifically a slow-release patch for ethylene inhibitors in fruit preservation. Background Technology

[0002] With the expansion and globalization of the fruit consumption market, extending the shelf life of fruit has become an important research topic. Ethylene is a plant hormone that plays an important role in the ripening process of many fruits. It promotes the ripening and post-ripening reactions of fruits, causing them to develop aroma, soften, and change color. However, excessive ethylene can accelerate the aging process of fruits, leading to premature rot and spoilage, affecting the storage time and freshness of fruits. Especially for the transportation and storage of fresh fruits, it is particularly important to control and reduce the accumulation of ethylene to inhibit over-ripening and rot.

[0003] However, ethylene is a gas that easily diffuses in the storage environment. Due to the characteristics of gas flow, the concentration of ethylene may vary in different locations. If the ethylene inhibitor is not placed properly, it may not be able to uniformly suppress the accumulation of ethylene gas throughout the entire storage space. In the process of using ethylene inhibitors for fruit preservation, due to the different spatial layouts of different storage environments, it is difficult for ethylene inhibitors to be completely adapted to all storage environments. Therefore, we propose a slow-release patch for ethylene inhibitors in fruit preservation. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is the inability of fruit preservation ethylene inhibitors to be placed in accordance with different storage environments during use.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a slow-release patch for preserving ethylene inhibitors in fruits, comprising a storage box, a splicing plate at the lower end of the storage box, and snap-fit ​​cylinders fixedly connected to one side surface of both the storage box and the splicing plate. A connecting rod is provided at one end of each snap-fit ​​cylinder, and a snap-fit ​​rod is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod. A snap-fit ​​groove is formed on the inner side of the snap-fit ​​cylinder, and the snap-fit ​​rod is movably snapped into the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove. A connecting ring is movably connected to the middle of the connecting rod, and a splicing block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting ring. A splicing groove is formed on the outer side of the connecting rod, and the splicing block and the splicing groove are mutually compatible.

[0006] Preferably, the storage box is internally fixedly connected with a limiting rack, and two limiting racks are provided and symmetrically distributed. The storage box is internally fixedly connected with a guide rail, and two guide rails are provided and symmetrically distributed. The inner side of the guide rail is provided with a guide groove, and a rotating rod is movably connected between the two guide rails.

[0007] Preferably, rotating gears are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod, and the rotating gears are adapted to the limiting rack. A toggle plate is movably connected to one side surface of the rotating gear, and the lower end of the toggle plate is movably connected to the outside of the rotating rod. The toggle plate is disposed between the guide rail and the rotating gear.

[0008] Preferably, an arc-shaped protrusion is fixedly connected to the upper end of the actuating plate, an arc-shaped groove is formed on one side surface of the storage box, the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped protrusion are adapted to each other, a movable groove is formed on one side surface of the storage box, two movable grooves are provided and symmetrically distributed, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable groove, two sealing gaskets are provided inside one movable groove, the two sealing gaskets are arranged opposite each other and fit together, and the upper end of the actuating plate is movably connected to the inside of the movable groove.

[0009] Preferably, an insulating film is fixedly connected to one side surface of the rotating rod, one end of the insulating film is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the storage box, a slow-release plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box, and a slow-release hole is opened on one side surface of the slow-release plate.

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

[0013] 1. This utility model facilitates the connection between the connecting rod and the connecting cylinder by using the interlocking rod and the interlocking groove. The splicing block and the splicing groove facilitate the connection between the connecting ring and the connecting rod. The connecting rod and the connecting ring control the splicing position relationship between the storage box and the splicing plate. At the same time, the magnetic suction piece and the overall splicing relationship enable the whole to adapt to different fruit storage spaces, ensuring that ethylene gas is effectively suppressed in the entire space, meeting the needs of different locations. Users do not need to frequently adjust the position or replace the inhibitor.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses a toggle plate to drive a rotating gear to move at the upper end of a limiting rack, which in turn drives a rotating rod to rotate synchronously. While the rotating rod is rotating, it can roll up and shrink the insulating film. The size of the roll-up and shrinkage space can control the slow release of the ethylene inhibitor. Then, the ethylene inhibitor released through the slow release holes can diffuse more effectively, improving the effectiveness and duration of the inhibitor and enhancing its overall practicality.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a slow-release patch for preserving ethylene inhibitors in fruits, including a storage box 1, a splicing plate 2 at the lower end of the storage box 1, and snap-fit ​​cylinders 3 fixedly connected to one side surface of both the storage box 1 and the splicing plate 2. A connecting rod 6 is provided at one end of the snap-fit ​​cylinder 3, and a snap-fit ​​rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 6. A snap-fit ​​groove 8 is opened on the inner side of the snap-fit ​​cylinder 3, and the snap-fit ​​rod 9 is movably snapped into the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove 8. A connecting ring 4 is movably connected to the middle of the connecting rod 6, and a splicing block 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting ring 4. A splicing groove 7 is opened on the outer side of the connecting rod 6. The splicing block 5 and the splicing groove 7 are mutually compatible. The cooperation between the snap-fit ​​rod 9 and the snap-fit ​​groove 8 facilitates the connection between the connecting rod 6 and the snap-fit ​​cylinder 3. The splicing block 5 and the splicing groove 7 facilitate the connection between the connecting ring 4 and the connecting rod 6. The splicing position relationship between the storage box 1 and the splicing plate 2 is controlled by the connecting rod 6 and the connecting ring 4.

[0026] The storage box 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting rack 10. There are two limiting racks 10 arranged symmetrically. The storage box 1 is also fixedly connected to a guide rail 11. There are two guide rails 11 arranged symmetrically. The inner side of the guide rail 11 is provided with a guide groove 16. A rotating rod 12 is movably connected between the two guide rails 11. The guide groove 16 on the inner side of the guide rail 11 is used to guide the horizontal movement of the rotating rod 12.

[0027] Rotating gears 13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod 12. The rotating gears 13 are adapted to the limiting rack 10. A toggle plate 14 is movably connected to one side surface of the rotating gear 13. The lower end of the toggle plate 14 is movably connected to the outside of the rotating rod 12. The toggle plate 14 is set between the guide rail 11 and the rotating gear 13. The rotating gear 13 can rotate and move on the upper end of the limiting rack 10. While the rotating gear 13 moves, it can drive the rotating rod 12 to move synchronously. The guide rail 11 and the rotating gear 13 limit the movement direction and position of the toggle plate 14. At the same time, toggle the toggle plate 14 to drive the rotating gear 13 to move on the upper end of the limiting rack 10, and drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate synchronously.

[0028] An arc-shaped protrusion 18 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the actuating plate 14. An arc-shaped groove 15 is formed on one side surface of the storage box 1, and the arc-shaped groove 15 and the arc-shaped protrusion 18 are mutually adapted to each other. A movable groove 19 is formed on one side surface of the storage box 1. Two movable grooves 19 are provided and are symmetrically distributed. A sealing gasket 20 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable groove 19. Two sealing gaskets 20 are provided inside one movable groove 19. The two sealing gaskets 20 are arranged opposite each other and fit together. The upper end of the movable plate 14 is movably connected to the inside of the movable groove 19. When the movable plate 14 is at the front end, the arc-shaped protrusion 18 is snapped into the inside of the arc-shaped slot 15. When the movable plate 14 is moved along the movable groove 19, the arc-shaped protrusion 18 presses the sealing pad 20 to both sides. The sealing pad 20 is made of a soft material. The sealing pad 20 returns to its original position in the area where the arc-shaped protrusion 18 is located. The sealing pad 20 plays a role in stabilizing the arc-shaped protrusion 18 in the area where the arc-shaped protrusion 18 is located.

[0029] An insulating film 17 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the rotating rod 12. One end of the insulating film 17 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the storage box 1. A slow-release plate 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box 1. A slow-release hole 22 is opened on one side surface of the slow-release plate 21. Several slow-release holes 22 are arranged in a linear array and evenly distributed. The insulating film 17 is used to isolate and block the ethylene inhibitor placed inside. The diameter of the slow-release hole 22 near the outer side is larger and the diameter of the hole near the inner side is smaller, which facilitates the more effective diffusion of the released ethylene inhibitor.

[0030] The storage box 1 has a discharge bin 23 on its inner side. A hinged plate 24 is movably connected to one side of the discharge bin 23. The discharge bin 23 is used to store ethylene inhibitors, and the hinged plate 24 facilitates the storage of ethylene inhibitors.

[0031] The storage box 1 and one side surface of the storage box 1 are provided with mounting grooves 25. Magnetic suction pieces 26 are fixedly connected inside the mounting grooves 25. The two magnetic suction pieces 26 are magnetically connected to each other, and the placement position of the whole is controlled by the magnetic suction pieces 26.

[0032] Before use, open the opening plate 24 and place the ethylene inhibitor inside the discharge hopper 23. Then, tightly close the opening plate 24. Depending on the specific space and the total amount of fruit stored in the space, move the actuating plate 14 from the top of the device to drive the rotating gear 13 to move on the upper end of the limiting rack 10, causing the rotating rod 12 to rotate synchronously. While the rotating rod 12 is rotating, it can roll up and shrink the insulating film 17. The size of the roll-up and shrinkage space can achieve a slow-release control effect on the ethylene inhibitor. Then, the slow-release hole 22 facilitates the more effective diffusion of the released ethylene inhibitor, improving the inhibitor's effectiveness. After adjustment, the interlocking rod 9 and the interlocking groove 8 facilitate the connection between the connecting rod 6 and the interlocking cylinder 3. The splicing block 5 and the splicing groove 7 facilitate the connection between the connecting ring 4 and the connecting rod 6. The connecting rod 6 and the connecting ring 4 control the splicing position relationship between the storage box 1 and the splicing plate 2. At the same time, the magnetic suction piece 26 and the overall splicing relationship enable the whole to adapt to different fruit storage spaces, ensuring that ethylene gas is effectively suppressed in the entire space, meeting the needs of different locations. Users do not need to frequently adjust the position or replace the inhibitor, thus improving the overall practicality.
