Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural product storage, transportation and preservation technology, specifically relating to a foldable modified atmosphere shockproof degreasing and preservation box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fruits and vegetables such as persimmons are not suitable for long-term storage. During storage and transportation, they release ethylene, which accelerates fruit aging and shortens storage time. Furthermore, persimmons and similar fruits are highly susceptible to mechanical damage from squeezing and collisions during transportation, and these wounds are easily infected by pathogens, leading to fruit rot and a significant decline in quality. Additionally, the presence of tannins in persimmons results in some fruits having a strong astringent taste and poor palatability. These problems not only affect the market sales of persimmons but also hinder their subsequent processing and utilization, becoming a key bottleneck restricting the further development of the persimmon processing industry.

[0003] Existing technologies disclose several fruit and vegetable preservation devices, such as those for persimmons. For example, Chinese utility model patent document ZL202123147439.1 discloses a persimmon logistics preservation box suitable for e-commerce, which uses a manual piston device to extract air from the box, improving sealing performance and thus extending the preservation time of persimmons. Chinese utility model patent document ZL202023120650.X discloses a shockproof preservation box for persimmon transportation, which uses foam boards to protect fruits and vegetables from compression and can maintain a low-temperature environment using dry ice. Chinese utility model patent document ZL202120154563.1 discloses a mobile preservation-type persimmon transportation device, which uses a spring and hydraulic rod connection to form a buffer and shock absorption system to reduce collision damage to persimmons during transportation.

[0004] Although the aforementioned existing fruit and vegetable preservation devices can achieve a certain preservation effect on fruits and vegetables such as persimmons, they are mostly based on shock absorption and still have shortcomings such as poor convenience during transportation and lack of astringency removal effect.

[0039] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Example

[0041] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 3 The foldable modified atmosphere shockproof and desiccant preservation box provided in this embodiment includes a box body 4, a top cover 1, a shockproof pad 11, a first partition 7, and a second partition 8. The two opposite side walls of the box body 4 are respectively provided with first creases 10; ventilation holes 9 are opened on the side walls of the box body 4; the two opposite side walls of the top cover 1 are respectively provided with second creases 16; a modified atmosphere film 2 is provided on the side wall of the top cover 1; the top cover 1 is placed on the box body 4, and the modified atmosphere film 2 corresponds to the ventilation holes 9; the shockproof pad 11 is placed inside the box body 4; the first partition 7 and the second partition 8 are both placed inside the box body 4; the first partition 7 and the second partition 8 are cross-connected.

[0042] In this embodiment, the foldable modified atmosphere shockproof and desiccant preservation box can be folded along the first fold line 10 and the top cover 1 along the second fold line 16 when not in use, so as to reduce the volume of the box body 4 and the top cover 1, making it easier to store and transport them.

[0043] In use, the box 4 can be unfolded along the first fold 10, and the top cover 1 along the second fold 16. The shock-absorbing pad 11 is placed inside the box 4, followed by the cross-connected first partition 7 and second partition 8. Then, fruits of similar ripeness, diameter, and weight, such as fresh persimmons, can be placed in a 0°C pre-cooling room for two hours, maintaining a relative humidity of 90%–95%. The cross-connected first partition 7 and second partition 8 divide the box 4 into multiple storage spaces. After pre-cooling, the persimmons are quickly placed into these spaces, effectively preventing collisions between them. The shock-absorbing pad 11 inside the box 4 effectively cushions vibrations during transport, preventing damage from impacts. A preservative can also be placed inside the box 1. Finally, the top cover 1 is placed over the box 4. The modified atmosphere membrane 2 filters O2 and CO2 by adjusting the size of the gaps between molecular chains, thereby regulating the permeation rates of O2 and CO2 on both sides of the membrane 2. This creates a high-CO2, low-O2 environment within the chamber 4 and automatically maintains a stable gas environment. The high concentration of CO2 causes the persimmons to undergo anaerobic respiration, producing substances such as acetaldehyde. These substances combine with the soluble tannins in the persimmons, converting them into insoluble tannins, thus removing astringency and improving the taste of the persimmons.

[0044] The box body 4 can be a rectangular box body, and the top cover 1 can be a rectangular cover. The top cover 1 can be a rectangular cylinder, and the inner diameter of the top cover 1 can be greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the box body 4. The top of the top cover 1 has a top surface and the bottom is open, for fitting over the outside of the box body 4.

[0045] The modified atmosphere packaging membrane 2 can be made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film, a product of existing technology, with a thickness of 50 μm and a model number of 2102TN26. Because LDPE molecules have numerous branches, there are gaps between these chains, and the size of these gaps plays a crucial role in the permeation of gas molecules. O2 and CO2 molecules differ in size; O2 molecules are relatively smaller and pass through these gaps more easily, while CO2 molecules are relatively larger and have greater difficulty passing through. This difference in permeation rates between O2 and CO2 allows for the regulation of the permeation rate of O2 and CO2 through the modified atmosphere packaging membrane 2. A 50 μm thick LDPE film can achieve good preservation results for persimmons using modified atmosphere packaging.

[0046] The modified atmosphere membrane 2 can be circular, and the vent 9 can be a circular through hole. The diameters of the modified atmosphere membrane 2 and the vent 9 can be equal. When the top cover 1 is placed on the housing 4, the positions of the modified atmosphere membrane 2 and the vent 9 correspond.

[0047] Ventilation holes 9 can be opened on the two opposite side walls of the housing 4, and modified atmosphere membranes 2 can be installed on the two opposite side walls of the top cover 1. The ventilation holes 9 can be located on the same side wall of the housing 4 as the first crease 10. The modified atmosphere membrane 2 can be located on the same side wall of the top cover as the second crease 16.

The top apex of the second V-shaped crease 16 can be located at the middle of the top edge of the side wall of the top cover 1, and the two bottom ends of the second V-shaped crease 16 can be located at the two bottom corners of the side wall of the top cover 1.

[0053] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The side wall of the top cover 1 is provided with a mesh structure 15, and the modified atmosphere membrane 2 is located on the inner side of the mesh structure 15.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a sealing strip 5 is installed between the side wall of the top cover 1 and the side wall of the container 4. The sealing strip 5 seals the nesting point between the top cover 1 and the container 4. After the food storage container is used, the sealing strip 5 can be removed, and then the top cover 1 and the container 4 can be folded up for reuse.

[0065] The sealing strip 5 can be made of silicone and can be set as an annular ring, for example, the sealing strip 5 can be set as a rectangular ring.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, at least one of the first partition 7 and the second partition 8 has an air hole 6.
