Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic fruit basket technology, and specifically to a plastic fruit basket structure that is easy to stack. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, plastic fruit crates are mainly made of PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene), which are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, and are widely used in agriculture, retail, logistics, and other fields. After harvesting, fruit is generally placed in plastic fruit crates for convenient storage and transportation.
[0003] Existing patent application number 202323211347.4 discloses a plastic frame for transporting fruit. This plastic frame includes a plastic frame body with a shock-absorbing mechanism inside. The shock-absorbing mechanism includes a placement plate disposed inside the plastic frame body. Multiple placement slots are formed on the top of the placement plate, and sliding blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the placement plate. Sliding slots are formed on both sides of the inside of the plastic frame body, and the sliding blocks are disposed inside the sliding slots and slidably connected to them. Multiple shock-absorbing springs are fixedly connected between the bottom of the placement plate and the plastic frame body. This invention, by placing fruit inside the placement slots, causes the placement plate to shake under force during transportation, leading to the sliding blocks sliding within the sliding slots. This compresses the shock-absorbing springs at the bottom of the placement plate, reducing the force on the fruit during transportation and preventing damage from road bumps. The operation is simple and quick, improving the stability of transportation. However, when the aforementioned plastic crates are used to pack fruit for storage or transportation, the lack of a positioning structure makes it easy for multiple plastic crates to wobble when stacked, resulting in poor stability and hindering the stable transfer of fruit. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stackable plastic fruit basket structure to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a plastic fruit basket structure that is easy to stack, including a hollow plastic frame, and the plastic frame is also provided with a stacking positioning structure;
[0006] The stacked positioning structure includes multiple slots formed around the inner wall of the plastic frame and multiple inserts fixed to the bottom of the plastic frame. Each insert corresponds to one of the multiple slots, and each slot has a positioning post fixed inside. Each insert has a positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning post.
[0007] Preferably, both sides of the plurality of inserts extend outward to form limiting blocks, and both sides of the inner walls of the plurality of slots are provided with limiting grooves that cooperate with the limiting blocks.
[0008] Preferably, one side of the plurality of slots extends upward to form a boss, and one side of the insert block forms a recess that mates with the boss.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-7 The stackable plastic fruit basket structure shown includes a hollow plastic frame 1, and a stacking positioning structure is also provided on the plastic frame 1.
[0028] The stacking positioning structure includes multiple slots 3 formed around the inner wall of the plastic frame 1, and multiple inserts 5 fixed to the bottom of the plastic frame 1. The multiple inserts 5 correspond one-to-one with the multiple slots 3, and each of the multiple slots 3 has a positioning post 6 fixed inside. Each of the multiple inserts 5 has a positioning hole 10 that cooperates with the positioning post 6.
[0029] In use, the fruit can be first placed inside the plastic crate 1, and then the filled plastic crates 1 can be stacked. At this time, one plastic crate 1 is lifted and stacked on top of another plastic crate 1, so that the multiple inserts 5 at the bottom of the upper plastic crate 1 are inserted into the multiple slots 3 at the top of the lower plastic crate 1. At the same time, the positioning pins 6 in the slots 3 are inserted into the positioning holes 10 in the inserts 5 to quickly position the inserts 5 and the slots 3, thereby quickly positioning two adjacent plastic crates 1. In this way, multiple plastic crates 1 can be quickly positioned, which is conducive to the rapid stacking of multiple plastic crates 1 and greatly improves the stability of the plastic crates 1 when stacked, so as to achieve stable and rapid transportation of fruit.
[0030] Furthermore, to facilitate the handling of plastic frame 1, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the plastic frame 1 has slots 2 on both sides; the top of the plastic frame 1 also has notches 4 on both sides.
[0031] Furthermore, to achieve a stable connection between the insert 5 and the slot 3, and to increase the stability of the plastic frames 1 when stacked, such as... Figure 1 , Figures 3-6 As shown, one side of the multiple slots 3 extends upward to form a boss 8, and one side of the insert block 5 forms a recess 9 that mates with the boss 8.
[0032] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, both sides of the multiple inserts 5 extend outward to form limiting blocks 11, and both sides of the inner walls of the multiple slots 3 are provided with limiting grooves 7 that cooperate with the limiting blocks 11.
[0033] When the insert 5 is inserted into the slot 3, the limiting block 11 can simultaneously insert the insert 5 into the limiting groove 7 to limit the distance between the insert 5 and the slot 3, thereby facilitating the stable connection between the insert 5 and the slot 3, further facilitating the stable stacking of two adjacent plastic frames 1, and promoting the efficient transportation of fruits.
[0034] In another embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, deformable clamping blocks 12 are installed around the inner wall of the positioning hole 10, and the clamping blocks 12 are arc-shaped. Specifically, the clamping blocks 12 can be made of rubber, have a certain deformation capacity, and can return to their original shape after deformation.
[0035] When the positioning post 6 is inserted into the positioning hole 10, the positioning post 6 presses against the clamping block 12, causing the clamping block 12 to deform. Under the action of the clamping block 12, the positioning post 6 is clamped in the positioning hole 10, thereby increasing the stability when the positioning post 6 and the positioning hole 10 are inserted. This facilitates the stable positioning of two adjacent plastic frames 1, further realizing the stable stacking between two adjacent plastic frames 1, which is beneficial to the stable transportation of fruits.
[0036] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
