Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of preservation comparison test chambers, and in particular to a preservation comparison test chamber for agricultural products. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural product preservation refers to the techniques used to slow down the decline in freshness and prevent spoilage of agricultural products through physical or chemical methods, maintaining their good freshness and quality. Because harvested agricultural products exhibit characteristics such as respiration and evaporation, they undergo tissue aging, moisture loss, and even spoilage. Therefore, good storage conditions and preservation technologies are crucial. Currently, agricultural product preservation comparative test chambers on the market are mainly divided into two categories: storage preservation type and modified atmosphere preservation type, with differences in technical characteristics and application scenarios; in some high-requirement tests, they are also used in combination.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent application with patent number 201921773612.9, which discloses an agricultural product storage and preservation test chamber, comprising a chamber body, a storage component, a guide component, and a locking component. The chamber body is a hollow structure with one open end, and the storage component is movably disposed within the chamber body. The guide component is connected to both the chamber body and the storage component, and the locking component is disposed on the guide component. The locking component is used to limit the guide component after the storage component is moved out of the chamber body.
[0004] Existing storage and preservation test chambers for agricultural products use air-cooling technology to accelerate airflow, which can easily lead to dehydration of fruits and vegetables, especially for moisture-sensitive products such as leafy vegetables and mushrooms, potentially causing skin shrinkage or nutrient loss. Moreover, various test agricultural products are placed directly on the shelves of the preservation test chamber without protection, and the air circulation inside the chamber may cause cross-contamination of odors from different agricultural products (such as storing garlic and fruit together), affecting the accuracy of experimental data.

[0041] A transparent protective cover 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the transparent placement box 15. The top of the transparent protective cover 16 has an installation groove. Multiple ventilation holes 27 are equidistantly opened on the bottom wall of the installation groove. A deodorizing agent bag 29 is installed on the upper surface of the support mesh plate 28. The deodorizing agent inside the deodorizing agent bag 29 is made of nano diatomaceous earth and antibacterial agent, which is used to absorb the odor of various agricultural products and avoid cross-contamination of odors, thus affecting the test results.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Assemble the device as shown in the figure;
[0044] Before the experiment, the main control box 2 is turned on to cool and dehumidify the inside of the glass top cover 4.
