Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable preservation technology, specifically a storage box for the preservation and transportation of vegetables. Background Technology
[0002] Vegetables are an indispensable part of people's daily diet, and their freshness and quality are directly related to consumers' health and satisfaction. However, vegetables have a high water content and vigorous metabolism, and are very prone to quality deterioration (such as wilting, yellowing, and rotting) after harvesting or improper storage, resulting in a lot of waste of resources and economic losses.
[0003] Traditional vegetable storage boxes have a single function. After harvesting, the cells of vegetables remain active and respire, causing them to generate heat when placed in the storage box. In addition, the high temperatures in summer can easily cause them to wilt due to dehydration during transportation, thus affecting their freshness. Furthermore, large quantities of vegetables piled up are prone to being squeezed and damaged during transportation. Therefore, a storage box for preserving and transporting fresh vegetables is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0031] 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.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown, a storage box for the preservation and transportation of vegetables includes a base 1, a box body 2 and a box cover 3. The box body 2 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the box cover 3 is snapped onto the surface of the box body 2.
[0034] A cavity is provided inside the base 1, and a water storage box 13 is fixedly installed inside the cavity;
[0035] A water pipe 6 is fixedly connected inside the housing 2, and several atomizing nozzles are fixedly connected to the surface of the water pipe 6;
[0036] A water pump 15 is fixedly connected inside the cavity. The water pump 15 is connected to the water storage box 13 and the water pipe 6 through a connecting pipe.
[0037] The box 2 is equipped with several trays 7, which are installed inside the box 2 by a fixing mechanism.
[0038] A humidity sensor 9 is installed inside the housing 2. Both the humidity sensor 9 and the water pump 15 are powered by a battery.
[0039] The surface of the water storage box 13 is provided with water injection holes;
[0040] The bottom of the box 2 is grid-like, and the surface of the base 1 is provided with an installation groove. The recycling box 5 is fixed in the installation groove by bolts.
[0041] A rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove. The rotating rod 21 is "L" shaped. An impact block 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the long arm of the rotating rod 21. A limit block 19 is fixedly connected to the long arm of the rotating rod 21. A sliding rod 17 is fixedly connected to the short arm of the rotating rod 21. A fixing rod 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove. The sliding rod 17 slides within the fixing rod 20 via a spring. A rubber plug 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 17.
[0042] During operation, after the vegetables are placed inside the housing 2, the water pump 15 is activated under the control of the humidity sensor 9 if the inside of housing 2 becomes too dry. The water pump 15 draws water from the water storage box 13 and sprays it onto the surface of the vegetables through atomizing nozzles, thus ensuring that the surface of the vegetables remains moist. The atomized liquid cools the vegetables and prevents them from wilting due to lack of water, which would affect their freshness. Ventilation holes on the surface of housing 2 also aid in heat dissipation. Water can be added to the water storage box 13 through the water inlet. The water storage box 13 and water pump 15, located at the bottom, lower the overall center of gravity of housing 2, making it more stable. When the moisture on the surface of the vegetables reaches... Under vibration, the water will detach. Because the bottom of the box 2 is curved, the water will be directed to the grid-like position and eventually flow into the recycling box 5 for storage. The recycling box 5 is installed with bolts to facilitate subsequent cleaning. When the recycling box 5 is pulled out, the side wall of the recycling box 5 will squeeze the limiting block 19, causing the limiting block 19 to drive the rotating rod 21 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating rod 21 drives the sliding rod 17 to slide inside the fixed rod 20. When the limiting plug is disengaged from the fixed rod 20, the spring force is released instantly, causing the impact block 16 to hit the grid-like position of the box 2, further shaking off the water for subsequent cleaning. The rubber plug 18 can store the potential energy of the spring and release it instantly.
[0043] The fixing mechanism includes a guide rail 8, which is fixedly installed inside the housing 2. A slider 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tray 7, and the slider 23 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 8. A bottom block 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tray 7, and a fixed shaft 26 is slidably connected to the surface of the bottom block 25 via a spring. A slot 27 is provided on the surface of the fixed shaft 26. The slot 27 is triangular. An inner cavity is provided inside the tray 7. A connecting rod 29 is slidably connected to the inner cavity. A top block 28 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 29. The top block 28 passes through the inner cavity and is slidably connected to the bottom block 25. A fixing groove is provided on the surface of the guide rail 8 at a position relative to the fixed shaft 26. The end of the fixed shaft 26 is arc-shaped. A sliding shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 29. The end of the sliding shaft 31 away from the connecting rod 29 passes through the inner cavity and is slidably connected. A handle 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding shaft 31.
[0044] During operation, tray 7 is placed inside housing 2, and slider 23 is fitted onto guide rail 8. Then, handle 32 is pulled upwards, causing handle 32 to drive connecting plate. Connecting plate drives top block 28 upwards, causing top block 28 to press against slot 27, forcing fixed shaft 26 to move away from guide rail 8 until the part of fixed shaft 26 without rounded corners disengages from the fixed slot. At this point, tray 7 can be pressed down further. Because the surface of fixed shaft 26 has rounded corners, tray 7 can move intermittently under the pressure of the fixed slot, thus improving the feel of tray 7 during installation and making it easier for workers to determine its position. When tray 7 moves to the appropriate position, handle 32 is released. At this time, the spring on the surface of fixed shaft 26 drives fixed shaft 26 to fully engage in the fixed slot, thus positioning tray 7. Through the design of fixed shaft 26 and fixed slot in conjunction with top block 28, the position of tray 7 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position between trays 7 to achieve different storage methods for different types of vegetables.
[0045] The tray 7 has a handle fixedly connected to its surface, and there are at least two guide rails 8, which are symmetrically designed. During operation, the handle makes it easier for workers to remove the tray 7, and the two symmetrically designed guide rails 8 can improve the stability of the tray 7 when it is placed.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] Please see Figure 9 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, a number of water guide rods 33 are fixedly connected to the surface of the tray 7. The water guide rods 33 are arranged in two sets and are designed to be horizontal and vertical. Each water guide rod 33 is an upward-curving arc.
[0048] During operation, thanks to the curved water guide rod 33, any water flowing down the surface of the vegetables will be guided by the water guide rod 33 to the edge of the tray 7, thus preventing it from falling directly onto the vegetables below and avoiding excessive moisture on the surface of the bottom layer of vegetables, which could lead to spoilage.
