Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit basket technology, specifically to a crush-resistant plastic fruit basket. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic fruit crates are a widely used packaging tool in agriculture, retail, and logistics. Currently, after fruit harvesting, plastic fruit crates are often used to pack and transport the fruit, facilitating its storage and transit.
[0003] A search revealed a plastic frame for transporting fruit, disclosed in patent application number 202323211347.4. The plastic frame includes a plastic frame body with a shock-absorbing mechanism inside. The shock-absorbing mechanism includes a placement plate inside the plastic frame body. The placement plate has multiple placement slots on its top and sliding blocks fixedly connected to both ends of the placement plate. Sliding slots are provided 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 the sliding slots. Multiple shock-absorbing springs are fixedly connected between the bottom of the placement plate and the plastic frame body. This invention places the fruit inside a placement slot. During transportation, the placement plate shakes under force, causing it to slide along a sliding block within the slot. This compresses the shock-absorbing spring at the bottom of the placement plate, reducing the force on the fruit during transport and preventing damage from road bumps. The operation is simple and quick, improving transportation stability. However, with the aforementioned plastic crates, fruit is typically piled together inside. While the shock-absorbing spring reduces the force on the fruit, the piled-up fruit can easily cause them to squeeze against each other during transport, leading to damage and affecting fruit quality, thus hindering high-quality fruit transportation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crush-resistant plastic fruit basket to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a crush-resistant plastic fruit basket, comprising a hollow plastic frame, wherein the top two sides of the plastic frame are provided with through holes, and the interior of the plastic frame is also provided with a partitioning mechanism to divide the interior into layers;
[0006] The separation mechanism includes multiple detachable separation plates and a limiting structure for adjusting the multiple separation plates in the vertical direction.
[0007] The limiting structure includes multiple connecting strips installed on both sides of the inner wall of the plastic frame, and multiple sliders fixed on both sides of multiple partition plates. Each of the multiple connecting strips has an insertion hole evenly distributed along its height direction, and an insertion rod extending into the slider is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole. Each of the multiple connecting strips has a sliding groove on the side adjacent to the partition plate for the slider to slide.
[0008] Preferably, one side of the slider extends outward to form a limiting block, and one side of the slide groove has a limiting groove that matches the limiting block.
[0009] Preferably, the separating mechanism further includes a plurality of vertical separating members installed at the bottom of each separating plate. The plurality of vertical separating members are evenly distributed along the length direction of the separating plate, and each vertical separating member includes a plurality of fixed plates installed at the bottom of each separating plate. The interior of each of the plurality of fixed plates forms a cavity, and a plurality of springs are connected in the cavity.

[0029] 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.
[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-9 The illustrated anti-crushing plastic fruit basket includes a hollow plastic frame 1, with through holes 6 on both sides of the top of the plastic frame 1, and a partitioning mechanism for dividing the interior of the plastic frame 1 into layers.
[0031] The partitioning mechanism includes multiple detachable partition plates 2 and a limiting structure 3 for adjusting the multiple partition plates 2 in the vertical direction;
[0032] The limiting structure 3 includes multiple connecting strips 31 installed on both sides of the inner wall of the plastic frame 1, and multiple sliders 32 fixed on both sides of multiple partition plates 2. Each of the multiple connecting strips 31 has an insertion hole 34 evenly distributed along its height direction, and a rod 33 extending into the slider 32 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 34. Each of the multiple connecting strips 31 has a groove 35 for sliding the slider 32 on the side adjacent to the partition plate 2.
[0033] As described above, when transporting fruit, the appropriate number of dividers 2 can be selected according to the size of the fruit. Then, the fruit is placed at the bottom of the inside of the plastic frame 1. Next, one of the dividers 2 is inserted into the inside of the plastic frame 1 through the cooperation of the slider 32 and the groove 35, so that the divider 2 is above the fruit to divide the inside of the plastic frame 1. Then, the insert rod 33 is inserted into the slider 32 through the corresponding insertion hole 34 to fix the divider 2 and the connecting strip 31. Then, the fruit is placed on the divider 2, and then the divider 2 is installed in the plastic frame 1 using the slider 32 and the groove 35. This process is repeated to achieve layered storage of the fruit in the plastic frame 1, thereby preventing crushing and avoiding damage during transportation when the fruit is piled together. Finally, multiple plastic frames 1 are stacked to transport or store the fruit, thus completing the use of the plastic frame 1.
[0034] Secondly, depending on the size of the fruit, the slider 32 and the groove 35 can be used to move the partition 2 up and down along the connecting strip 31, thereby adjusting the height of the partition 2 and adjusting the spacing between two adjacent partitions 2. This facilitates the layered storage of fruits of different sizes, greatly improving the practicality of the plastic frame 1 and enabling efficient transportation of fruits of different sizes.
[0035] Furthermore, to facilitate stable sliding between slider 32 and groove 35, such as Figures 3-7 as well as Figure 9As shown, one side of the slider 32 extends outward to form a limiting block, and one side of the slide groove 35 has a limiting groove that matches the limiting block.
[0036] Furthermore, in order to achieve limiting between multiple plastic frames 1 and facilitate stable stacking of multiple plastic frames 1, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the top of the plastic frame 1 is recessed inward to form a recessed platform 4, and the bottom of the plastic frame 1 has a protruding strip 7 that matches the recessed platform 4.
[0037] Furthermore, to facilitate the placement and removal of the plastic frame 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, notches 5 are also formed on both sides of the top of the plastic frame 1.
[0038] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 as well as Figures 6-8 As shown, the partitioning mechanism also includes multiple vertical partitions 8 installed at the bottom of each partition plate 2. The multiple vertical partitions 8 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the partition plate 2, and each vertical partition 8 includes multiple fixed plates 81 installed at the bottom of each partition plate 2. The interior of each fixed plate 81 forms a cavity, and multiple springs 84 are connected inside the cavity. The bottom ends of the multiple springs 84 are connected to a limiting plate 83. The bottom of the limiting plate 83 is connected to a movable plate 82 extending to the outside of the fixed plate 81.
[0039] When the divider 2 separates the plastic frame 1 into layers to achieve layered storage of fruits, the movable plate 82 at the bottom of the upper divider 2 will extend from the cavity inside the fixed plate 81 under the action of the spring 84 to separate the space formed between two adjacent dividers 2, so that the fruits can be distributed at intervals, avoiding the fruits in the same layer from being squeezed and damaged, which can further facilitate the storage and transportation of fruits and ensure the quality of fruits.
[0040] Secondly, if the distance between two adjacent partition plates 2 is small, the bottom of the movable plate 82 at the bottom of the upper partition plate 2 will abut against the top of the partition plate 2 below it, and the spring 84 will be compressed upward by the limiting plate 83, causing the spring 84 to contract, thereby realizing the contraction of the movable plate 82. This allows the vertical partition 8 to be adjusted in length and width, so that the vertical partition 8 can adapt to different spacings between two adjacent partition plates 2, making it convenient to separate different sizes of the same layer space, which in turn is beneficial to separating fruits of different sizes and facilitating the transportation of fruits of different sizes.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, guide rails 85 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the cavity, and guide rail grooves that cooperate with the guide rails 85 are opened on both sides of the limiting plate 83.
[0042] When the spring 84 extends and retracts and drives the limiting plate 83 to move along the cavity, the limiting plate 83 moves along the guide rail 85 through the guide rail groove, thereby limiting the limiting plate 83 and thus limiting the movable plate 82, which is beneficial to the stable extension and retraction of the movable plate 82.
[0043] 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.
