Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg transportation technology, and in particular to a buffer protection device for transporting eggs. Background Technology

[0002] Eggs, laid by hens, are a common and nutritious food. They are typically oval-shaped with a hard shell, mainly composed of calcium carbonate and other substances, which protect the internal structure. The eggshell surface has many tiny pores for gas exchange. Inside the shell are a transparent egg white and a yellow yolk. The egg white is mainly composed of water and protein, containing various nutrients such as ovalbumin. The yolk is rich in protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals, and is the core of the egg's nutritional value. The lecithin in the yolk is beneficial for brain development and cardiovascular health. Eggs are an important source of protein for humans, and their protein composition is very close to human needs, making them easily absorbed and utilized. They can be processed in various ways, such as boiling, frying, scrambling, and steaming, to create a variety of delicious dishes, playing an important role in people's daily diet.

[0003] Egg transportation is the process of moving eggs from their place of origin or processing to their point of sale or to the consumer. Because eggs are fragile and perishable, special packaging and transportation conditions are required. For packaging, specialized egg trays and boxes are typically used to provide cushioning and protection, reducing the risk of breakage from collisions and vibrations during transport. During transportation, temperature and humidity must be controlled; ideally, the temperature should be between 2°C and 10°C, and the humidity maintained at 70%-80% to slow down spoilage and preserve quality.

[0004] However, existing egg transport cushioning devices fail to effectively secure and position the eggs, and cannot guarantee the stability between layers of eggs. During transport, the eggs are disorganized within the device, lacking precise restraints. This not only makes the eggs prone to collisions, increasing the chance of breakage, but also makes them easily displaced by vehicle vibrations. Furthermore, the lack of a stable support structure and reliable interlayer isolation design means that, in bumpy road conditions or frequent starts and stops, upper-layer eggs are easily shaken and fall, compressing lower-layer eggs. This severely affects the quality and integrity of egg transport, causing significant economic losses and potential food safety hazards to the egg transport industry. Therefore, to address these shortcomings, a new egg transport cushioning device is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a buffer protection device for transporting eggs, aiming to improve the problem that some existing egg transport buffer protection devices cannot effectively fix and position the eggs, and cannot guarantee the stability between each layer of eggs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A buffer protection device for transporting eggs includes a box body, multiple bottom plates, and multiple top plates. Each of the bottom plates has multiple sliding grooves inside. Multiple locking plates are slidably connected to the interior of each of the bottom plates. Multiple locking slots are also provided inside each of the bottom plates. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of each of the locking plates. A spring is fitted around the outside of each of the sliding rods. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outside of each of the sliding rods. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the top of each of the bottom plates. Multiple bottom frames are fixedly connected to the top of each of the bottom frames. An adaptation block is fixedly connected inside each of the bottom of each of the top plates. Multiple locking balls are provided on the top of each of the top plates. A buffer assembly is provided on the inner bottom side of the box body.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The buffer assembly includes a support plate, the outside of which is slidably connected to the inside of the housing. Multiple sliding sleeves are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. Sleeves are slidably connected to the outside of each of the multiple sliding sleeves. Limit rings are fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the multiple sliding sleeves. Springs are provided inside each of the multiple sleeves. Multiple dampers are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The box body is internally fixedly connected to multiple guide plates, and the box body is provided with a box cover on the top side of the exterior;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The card plate is slidably connected to the inside of the groove on the outside, and the card plate is rotatably connected to the inside of the groove on the outside.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the top plate, and the other end of the spring is in contact with the bottom of the fixing ring;

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The first and second adaptive blocks are made of rubber, and the slide rod is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the top plate;

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The bottom of each of the base plates is provided with a groove, and the top of the ball is slidably connected to the inside of the groove;

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The outer part of the limiting ring is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve, and the bottom of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner bottom side of the box.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, when placing an egg, its lower half is stably placed on the first adaptable block, and its upper half is properly wrapped by the second adaptable block. With the flexibility and cushioning of the rubber, it provides solid support for the egg and effectively resists collisions and vibrations during placement and transportation, achieving initial positioning and fixation. Next, the card plate slides into the slide groove, and the rotating plate is pressed to enter the card groove. Rotating the rotating plate drives the slide rod and the card plate to rotate, and the shape difference is used to tightly engage and firmly connect the top plate and the bottom plate, further stabilizing the egg. In the multi-layer egg positioning, the hemispherical card ball at the top of the top plate is adapted to the groove at the bottom of the bottom plate, and the groove of the upper bottom plate is aligned with the card ball of the lower top plate. The tight engagement achieves multi-layer connection, ensuring accurate vertical positioning of each layer of eggs, preventing inter-layer displacement, and ensuring the stability of the multi-layer egg placement structure.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, when the support plate is displaced, it consumes vibration energy by relying on its own damping characteristics. Especially when the second spring rebounds, it effectively prevents the support plate from rebounding quickly, avoiding secondary vibration. Together with the elastic force of the second spring, it greatly enhances the buffering effect. In addition, the multiple guide plates fixed inside the box play a guiding and positioning role when placing the components. During transportation, they fit tightly with the sides of the bottom plate and top plate, limiting lateral displacement and preventing the components from colliding or tilting. This comprehensively ensures the stability of the eggs during transportation and guarantees the safe transportation of the eggs. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a buffer protection device for transporting eggs, comprising a box 1, multiple bottom plates 2, and multiple top plates 10. The box 1 serves as the external load-bearing structure of the entire egg transport buffer protection device. The bottom plates 2 can stably place eggs and withstand the pressure of the upper structure. Multiple sliding grooves 3 are provided inside each of the multiple bottom plates 2, and multiple retaining plates 4 are slidably connected inside each of the multiple bottom plates 2. The shape of the sliding grooves 3 is adapted to the retaining plates 4, ensuring that the retaining plates 4 do not wobble or jam when sliding within them. The retaining plates 4 are slidably connected to the inside of the sliding grooves 3. Multiple retaining slots 5 are provided inside each of the multiple bottom plates 2, and the retaining plates 4 are rotatably connected to the retaining slots. Inside the 5, the card plate 4 is designed with a special elliptical structure. This shape matches the circular groove design of the card slot 5. When the card plate 4 rotates, the difference in shape between the two can be used to achieve a tight fit inside the bottom plate 2, thereby effectively fixing the top plate 10. The top of each of the multiple card plates 4 is fixedly connected to a slide rod 6. The outside of the slide rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inside of the top plate 10. By rotating the rotating plate 9, the operator can easily drive the slide rod 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation and engagement operation of the card plate 4. Each of the multiple slide rods 6 is fitted with a spring 7. One end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the top plate 10, and the other end of the spring 7 is in contact with the bottom of the fixing ring 8.

[0034] When the rotating plate 9 is pressed, causing the locking plate 4 to enter the slot 5, the locking plate 4 moves the sliding rod 6 downwards. At this time, the spring 7 is compressed, increasing its elastic potential energy. Each of the sliding rods 6 is fixedly connected to a retaining ring 8. The main function of the retaining ring 8 is to provide a stable support point for the spring 7, ensuring that the spring 7 maintains a stable working state during compression and rebound. Each of the sliding rods 6 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 9 at its top. When the operator rotates the rotating plate 9, it effectively drives the sliding rods 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the locking plate 4 inside the base plate 2. The locking action involves multiple base frames 11 fixedly connected to the top of multiple base plates 2. The top plate 10 and the base plate 2 cooperate to fix the egg and transport it in layers. Adaptive blocks 12 are fixedly connected inside the multiple base frames 11. Multiple top frames 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom of multiple top plates 10. Adaptive blocks 2 13 are fixedly connected inside the multiple top frames 14. The shape of the adaptive blocks 2 13 is an arc shape that matches the upper part of the egg and corresponds to the arc shape of the adaptive blocks 1 12. It can fit tightly against the surface of the egg and provide stable fixation and cushioning for the egg.

[0035] The materials of the first adaptable block 12 and the second adaptable block 13 are rubber. Rubber has good flexibility and cushioning performance, which can effectively protect the eggs from collision and vibration during placement and transportation. Multiple top plates 10 are provided with multiple locking balls 15 on their tops, and multiple bottom plates 2 are provided with grooves on their bottoms. The tops of the locking balls 15 are slidably connected to the inside of the grooves. The tops of the locking balls 15 are designed to be hemispherical, which matches the shape of the grooves on the bottom of the bottom plates 2, so that they can be tightly locked together when they are connected. The inner bottom side of the box 1 is provided with a cushioning component.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The buffer assembly includes a support plate 16, which is slidably connected to the outside of the housing 1. Multiple sliding sleeves 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 16. Sleeves 18 are slidably connected to the outside of each of the multiple sliding sleeves 17. The bottom of the sleeves 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside of the housing 1. Limiting rings 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom outside of each of the multiple sliding sleeves 17. The function of the limiting rings 19 is to prevent the sliding sleeves 17 from coming out of the sleeves 18, and also to limit the sliding of the sliding sleeves 17 during the sliding process and control its stroke range. The outside of the limiting rings 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeves 18. When the sliding sleeves 17 slide in the sleeves 18, the second spring 20 will be compressed or rebound, which plays a role in buffering and shock absorption. The inside of each of the multiple sleeves 18 is provided with a second spring 20.

[0037] When the box 1 is impacted and shakes during transportation, the support plate 16 causes the sliding sleeve 17 to slide into the sleeve 18. At this time, the second spring 20 is compressed, and its elastic potential energy increases. The compression of the second spring 20 can provide a reverse buffer force to offset part of the impact force, thereby achieving a protective effect. Multiple dampers 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 16. The main function of the dampers 21 is to consume the vibration energy generated during transportation through their own damping characteristics, thereby further enhancing the shock absorption effect of the entire buffer protection device. Multiple guide plates 22 are fixedly connected inside the box 1. The guide plates 22 are tightly fitted to the sides of the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 10. During the process of placing the multi-layer bottom plate 2 and top plate 10 into the box 1 in sequence, the guide plates 22 play a guiding and positioning role. A box cover 23 is provided on the top side of the outer side of the box 1.

[0038] Working principle: When transporting eggs, first place the eggs inside the adaptable block 12, then place the top plate 10 above the bottom plate 2. Next, align the clamping plate 4 with the inside of the slide 3 and press it down. This will cause the clamping plate 4 to slide into the slide 3. Then, press the rotating plate 9 to make the clamping plate 4 enter the clamping groove 5. This will compress the spring 7. Then, rotate the rotating plate 9 to drive the slide rod 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the clamping plate 4 to rotate. At this time, the elliptical design of the clamping plate 4 and the circular groove of the clamping groove 5 will make the egg rotate. The design allows the card plate 4 to engage with the interior of the bottom plate 2, allowing the upper part of the egg to enter the interior of the adapting block 13 and be fixed, thus fixing the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 10. The above operation can then be repeated. Then, the card ball 15 of each layer of the top plate 10 is engaged with the groove at the bottom of the bottom plate 2, thus connecting each layer of eggs. The multiple layers of bottom plates 2 and top plates 10 are placed into the interior of the box 1 in sequence. With the guidance and clamping action of the guide plate 22, they can fit tightly with the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 10, thus preventing the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 10 from shaking.

[0039] When the box 1 is impacted and shakes during transportation, the support plate 16 will shift, causing the sliding sleeve 17 to slide into the sleeve 18. At this time, the limiting ring 19 will slide inside the sleeve 18, causing the second spring 20 to compress or rebound. The elastic force of the second spring 20 and the damping effect of the damper 21 can buffer the eggs, thus ensuring safety during transportation.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
