Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable packaging technology, and more specifically, it relates to a strawberry shockproof turnover box based on environmentally friendly elastic material. Background Technology

[0002] Current strawberry packaging often uses sponge padding to hold the strawberries in place, but this has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Hygiene issues: Sponges easily absorb dust and moisture, making them difficult to clean and failing to meet hygiene standards for food contact materials;

[0004] 2. Poor environmental performance: Sponge is a chemically foamed material that is non-degradable and difficult to recycle;

[0005] 3. High cost: The cost of opening a sponge mold is high, and the uneven density leads to unstable cushioning performance; 4. Insufficient protection: Traditional pads are prone to displacement during bumps, and the rate of damaged strawberries increases due to friction or squeezing. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an environmentally friendly, low-cost, and shockproof strawberry shockproof turnover box based on environmentally friendly elastic materials.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a strawberry shockproof turnover box based on environmentally friendly elastic material, including a box body and a liner adapted to the box body. The liner is provided with multiple sets of strawberry-shaped receiving grooves arranged in a matrix. The bottom plate of the box body is provided with several recesses that match the receiving grooves. The four corners of the box body are provided with buckles and slots for fitting with adjacent boxes.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the receiving groove is a strawberry-shaped recessed structure, the depth of the receiving groove is 1 / 2-3 / 4 of the diameter of the strawberry, so as to achieve semi-enclosed fixation, and the inner wall of the receiving groove is provided with anti-slip texture to reduce the damage caused by the strawberry sliding during the turnover.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: several ventilation holes are provided on the four side plates of the box to keep the inside of the box dry and prevent the strawberries from rotting due to moisture.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the outer side of the side plate of the box is provided with several reinforcing ribs to improve the overall strength and stacking stability of the box.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the liner is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or radiation cross-linked polyethylene foam material, and its thickness is 0.08mm-2.5mm.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the installation height of the base plate is such that after adjacent boxes are stacked, a 5mm buffer gap is maintained between the bottom of the upper box and the lower strawberry box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The multiple sets of strawberry-shaped slots arranged in a matrix within the liner provide a dedicated placement point for each strawberry, ensuring stability within the crate and preventing squeezing and collisions. Each strawberry is placed independently, preventing damage from contact even if the crate shakes or bumps during transport, minimizing mechanical damage and preserving the strawberries' appearance and quality. The liner, made of environmentally friendly elastic material, possesses excellent cushioning properties, absorbing and dispersing external impacts. When the crate is subjected to vibration or impact, the liner effectively mitigates the impact on the strawberries. The buckles and slots at the four corners of the crate allow adjacent crates to fit securely together. During transport and storage, multiple crates can be stacked stably, preventing shaking or collapse. This not only improves safety during transport and reduces the risk of strawberry damage due to crate collapse, but also facilitates neat stacking in warehouses and other locations, saving storage space and improving warehousing efficiency.

[0015] 2. The receiving slot is designed with a strawberry-shaped recessed structure, with a depth of 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the strawberry's diameter. This semi-enclosed design conforms well to the strawberry's shape. After the strawberry is placed in the slot, most of its body is enclosed in the recess, as if it is being steadily supported. This provides stable support for the strawberry within the turnover box, preventing it from easily shaking or rolling. Whether during the handling of the turnover box or the bumps caused by vehicle transportation, the semi-enclosed structure effectively restricts the strawberry's displacement, keeping it in a relatively static state, thereby reducing damage caused by collisions and friction. The anti-slip texture on the inner wall of the receiving slot further enhances the fixing effect, increasing the friction between the strawberry and the inner wall of the receiving slot. When the strawberry tends to slide under external force, the anti-slip texture generates greater resistance, preventing the strawberry from sliding. In this way, even if the turnover box tilts or is subjected to sudden vibration, the strawberry can be firmly fixed in the receiving slot, greatly reducing the probability of skin abrasions, bruises, and other damage caused by sliding.

[0016] 3. Several ventilation holes on the four side panels of the box greatly promote the circulation of air between the inside and outside of the box. During the handling of strawberries, they respire, producing carbon dioxide and moisture. The ventilation holes allow excess moisture to escape from the box in a timely manner, preventing the accumulation of moisture and the formation of a damp environment. At the same time, fresh air can continuously enter the box, providing the strawberries with sufficient oxygen to maintain their normal physiological activities. A dry and oxygen-rich environment is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, thus effectively preventing the strawberries from rotting due to moisture, extending their shelf life, and ensuring their quality. Several reinforcing ribs on the outer side panels of the box can distribute the pressure borne by the box under external forces, enhancing the compressive strength of the side panels. During handling and stacking, the box may be affected by external forces such as squeezing and collisions; the reinforcing ribs can effectively prevent the side panels from deforming or cracking, ensuring the integrity and stability of the box.

[0017] 4. The padding is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or radiation cross-linked polyethylene foam (IXPE). EVA has excellent flexibility, elasticity, and cushioning properties, effectively absorbing external impacts and protecting strawberries from damage. It is also non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly, ensuring food safety by not contaminating the strawberries. IXPE foam is renowned for its superior heat insulation, sound insulation, and cushioning properties. Its stable molecular structure allows it to maintain good performance under various environmental conditions. Both materials are recyclable, meeting modern environmental requirements and contributing to sustainable development. The padding thickness is set between 0.08mm and 2.5mm. Thinner padding (e.g., 0.08mm) is suitable for situations with high space requirements, maximizing the box's loading capacity while ensuring adequate cushioning. Thicker padding (e.g., 2.5mm) provides stronger cushioning protection and is suitable for scenarios with significant bumps and vibrations during transportation. The base plate installation height ensures that when adjacent boxes are stacked, a 5mm buffer gap is maintained between the bottom of the upper box and the bottom of the strawberries. During handling, vehicle bumps and vibrations can cause the boxes to be squeezed together. The reserved 5mm buffer gap provides sufficient space for the strawberries. When the upper box is subjected to external pressure, the buffer gap can absorb some of the pressure, preventing the strawberries from being directly squeezed by the upper box, thus effectively reducing the damage rate of the strawberries.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-2 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.

[0022] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0023] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.

[0024] Figures 1 to 2 The strawberry shockproof turnover box shown includes a box body 1 and a liner 2 adapted to the box body 1. The liner 2 has multiple sets of strawberry-shaped receiving slots 4 arranged in a matrix. The bottom plate 9 of the box body 1 has several recesses 3 that match the receiving slots 4, providing a dedicated placement point for each strawberry, keeping it stable within the turnover box and preventing mutual squeezing and collision. Each strawberry is placed independently, so even if the turnover box shakes or bumps during transportation, the strawberries will not be damaged by contact, minimizing mechanical damage and ensuring the appearance and quality of the strawberries. The liner 2, made of environmentally friendly elastic material, itself has good cushioning performance, absorbing and dispersing external impact forces. When the turnover box is subjected to vibration or impact, the liner 2 can effectively reduce the impact on the strawberries. The four corners of the box 1 are provided with buckles 5 and slots 6 for engaging with adjacent boxes 1, so that adjacent boxes 1 can be firmly engaged together. During transportation and storage, multiple turnover boxes can be stacked stably without shaking or collapsing. This not only improves the safety during transportation and reduces the risk of strawberry damage caused by the collapse of the box 1, but also facilitates neat stacking in warehouses and other places, saving storage space and improving warehousing efficiency.

[0025] The receiving groove 4 is a strawberry-shaped recessed structure, and its depth is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the strawberry's diameter. When the depth of the receiving groove 4 is less than 1 / 2 of the strawberry's diameter, it is too shallow and cannot provide sufficient support and fixation for the strawberry, causing it to be unstable and prone to shaking and rolling within the turnover box. When the depth of the receiving groove 4 is greater than 3 / 4 of the strawberry's diameter, the excessive depth makes it difficult to fill and remove the strawberries. Workers need to spend more time and effort to place or remove the strawberries, reducing work efficiency and hindering air circulation, which promotes the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, accelerating the rotting process and shortening the shelf life of the strawberries. This shortens the shelf life of strawberries. Therefore, the optimal depth of the receiving groove 4 is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the strawberry's diameter, which can well conform to the shape of the strawberry. After the strawberry is placed in the receiving groove 4, most of its body is wrapped in the recess, as if it is being steadily supported. This gives the strawberry stable support in the turnover box, preventing it from easily shaking or rolling. Whether during the handling of the turnover box or the bumps generated during vehicle transportation, the semi-enclosed structure can effectively limit the displacement of the strawberry and keep it in a relatively static state, thereby reducing damage caused by collision and friction.

[0026] The anti-slip texture on the inner wall of the receiving groove 4 further enhances the fixing effect, increasing the friction between the strawberry and the inner wall of the receiving groove 4. When the strawberry is subjected to external force and tends to slide, the anti-slip texture generates greater resistance, preventing the strawberry from sliding. In this way, even if the turnover box is tilted or subjected to sudden vibration, the strawberry can be firmly fixed in the receiving groove 4, greatly reducing the probability of skin abrasions, dents, and other damage caused by sliding.

[0027] The four side panels of the box 1 are equipped with several ventilation holes 7, which greatly promotes the circulation of air between the inside and outside of the box. During the handling of strawberries, they respire, producing carbon dioxide and moisture. The ventilation holes 7 allow excess moisture to escape from the box in a timely manner, preventing it from accumulating and creating a humid environment inside. At the same time, fresh air can continuously enter the box, providing the strawberries with sufficient oxygen to maintain their normal physiological activities. A dry and oxygen-rich environment is unfavorable for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, thus effectively preventing the strawberries from rotting due to moisture, extending their shelf life, and ensuring their quality.

[0028] The outer side panels of the box 1 are provided with several reinforcing ribs 8 to improve the overall strength and stacking stability of the box 1. They can disperse the pressure on the box 1 when subjected to external forces and enhance the compressive strength of the side panels. During handling and stacking, the box 1 may be affected by external forces such as squeezing and collision. The reinforcing ribs 8 can effectively prevent the side panels from deforming or breaking, and ensure the integrity and stability of the box 1.

[0029] The pad 2 is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or radiation-crosslinked polyethylene foam. EVA material has excellent flexibility, elasticity, and cushioning properties, effectively absorbing external impacts and protecting strawberries from damage. It is also non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly, ensuring food safety by not contaminating the strawberries. IXPE foam is renowned for its superior heat insulation, sound insulation, and cushioning properties. Its stable molecular structure allows it to maintain good performance under various environmental conditions. Furthermore, both materials are recyclable, meeting modern environmental protection requirements and contributing to sustainable development.

[0030] The thickness of padding 2 is set between 0.08mm and 2.5mm. Thinner padding 2 (such as 0.08mm) is suitable for situations with high space requirements, maximizing the loading capacity of the box 1 while ensuring a certain level of cushioning performance. Thicker padding 2 (such as 2.5mm) provides stronger cushioning protection and is suitable for scenarios with greater bumps and vibrations during transportation.

[0031] The installation height of the base plate 9 is such that after adjacent boxes 1 are stacked, a 5mm buffer gap is maintained between the bottom of the upper box 1 and the lower strawberry layer. During the turnover process, vehicle bumps and vibrations during handling may cause the boxes 1 to squeeze each other. The reserved 5mm buffer gap provides enough space for the strawberries. When the upper box 1 is pressed down by external force, the buffer gap can absorb some of the pressure, preventing the strawberries from being directly squeezed by the upper box 1, thereby effectively reducing the damage rate of the strawberries.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
