Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container ventilation and dehumidification technology, and in particular to a ventilation and dehumidification device for banana ripening containers. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial ripening is a technique that uses artificial means to accelerate the ripening of crops and fruits. It is generally used when crops cannot ripen normally under natural conditions, or when it is necessary to accelerate ripening, or when harvested but unripe fruit needs to reach maturity within a short period. Currently, bananas can be ripened artificially by placing them in containers after harvesting. However, because high humidity can easily cause bananas to rot, the containers need to be ventilated.

[0003] According to the search, the patent (application number: 202323552320.1) discloses "a ventilation device for a container". The device is installed with the container, and then the motor is started to drive the fan blades to rotate. The fan blades then exhaust the air inside the container, while the outside air enters through the air inlet of the container, thereby effectively facilitating rapid ventilation of the container.

[0004] However, the aforementioned traditional devices cannot remove moisture from the air during ventilation, which can easily increase the humidity inside the container during thunderstorms, making it difficult to ripen and store bananas. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a ventilation and dehumidification device for banana ripening containers, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and effectively solves the problem that the prior art cannot remove moisture from the air during ventilation, and that the humidity of the air inside the container is easily increased during thunderstorms, which is not conducive to the ripening and storage of bananas.

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

[0007] A ventilation and dehumidification device for a banana ripening container includes a circular shell. A drying component is rotatably connected to one outer wall of the circular shell. The drying component includes a circular block, a rotating shaft welded and fixed to one outer wall of the circular block, a fixing rod welded and fixed to the annular outer wall of the circular block at equal intervals along the ring, a circular ring welded and fixed to one end of the fixing rod, stainless steel meshes welded and fixed to both sides of the inner wall of the circular ring, and a sealing plug inserted into one side of the outer wall of the circular ring. Ventilation holes are evenly distributed along the ring on one outer wall of the circular shell, and a blower is installed and fixed in one of the ventilation holes. A rainproof component is inserted into the end of each ventilation hole away from the drying component. The rainproof component includes a circular frame and a rainproof plate welded and fixed to the annular inner wall of the circular frame at equal intervals along the vertical direction.

[0008] A blower draws outside air into the container through ventilation holes. As the air passes through the drying components, it is first filtered by stainless steel mesh to remove airborne particles, and then desiccant particles between two stainless steel meshes absorb moisture from the air, ensuring the dryness of the air entering the container. The air inside the container is then exhausted through several other ventilation holes, ensuring airflow between the container and the outside. When the desiccant particles in the ring corresponding to the blower have been in use for an extended period, a servo motor drives the ring to rotate via a shaft, causing the positions of the rings to progressively change. This positions the desiccant particles that have absorbed moisture at the air outlet and the desiccant particles that have not absorbed moisture at the air inlet, which is beneficial for the long-term operation of the device.

[0009] Preferably, a through hole is provided on one side of the annular outer wall of the ring, and the through hole forms a sealing fit with the sealing plug.

[0010] The through-holes allow the space between the outside and the two stainless steel meshes inside the ring to be interconnected, and the sealing plugs can block the through-holes.

[0011] Preferably, desiccant particles are filled between the two stainless steel meshes, and the size of the desiccant particles is larger than the size of the stainless steel mesh.

[0012] By filling the two stainless steel meshes with desiccant particles through the openings, the passing air can be dried and dehumidified, which helps to keep the incoming air dry.

[0013] Preferably, a mounting groove is provided at the center of the outer wall on the other side of the circular shell, and a servo motor is installed in the mounting groove, with a sealing cap inserted into one end of the mounting groove.

[0014] The servo motor is installed in the designated mounting slot, and the opening of the mounting slot is sealed with a sealing cover to prevent rainwater from entering the mounting slot.

[0015] Preferably, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the circular shell, and one end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor via a coupling.

[0016] The servo motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the drying components to rotate.

[0017] Preferably, the blower blows air towards the drying assembly, and the drying assembly is located inside the container, while the rainproof assembly is located outside the container.

[0018] The blower blows outside air into the container through the ventilation holes, and the air is dried as it passes through the drying unit.

[0019] Preferably, the outer diameter of the circular frame is adapted to the inner diameter of the ventilation hole, and the outer wall of the circular frame is fixed with equally spaced limiting blocks welded along the circumference.

[0020] When the circular frame is inserted into the ventilation hole, the limiting block limits the insertion distance of the circular frame, making it easy to remove the circular frame.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] When air passes through the drying components, it is first filtered by stainless steel mesh to remove airborne particles, and then the desiccant particles between two stainless steel meshes absorb moisture from the air, thus ensuring the dryness of the air entering the container. The air inside the container is then exhausted through several ventilation holes, ensuring airflow between the container and the outside. The progressive switching of the positions of the various rings ensures that the desiccant particles that have absorbed moisture are at the air outlet, while the desiccant particles that have not absorbed moisture are at the air inlet. This facilitates long-term operation of the device and effectively solves the problem in existing technologies where ventilation cannot remove moisture from the air, and where increased humidity inside the container during thunderstorms hinders the ripening and storage of bananas.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] Example:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 A ventilation and dehumidification device for a banana ripening container includes a circular shell 1. A drying component 2 is rotatably connected to one outer wall of the circular shell 1. The drying component 2 includes a circular block 3, a rotating shaft 4 welded and fixed to one outer wall of the circular block 3, a fixing rod 5 welded and fixed to the annular outer wall of the circular block 3 at equal intervals along the ring, a circular ring 6 welded and fixed to one end of the fixing rod 5, stainless steel mesh 7 welded and fixed to both sides of the annular inner wall of the circular ring 6, and a sealing plug 8 inserted into one side of the annular outer wall of the circular ring 6. Ventilation holes 12 are evenly distributed along the ring on one outer wall of the circular shell 1. A blower 13 is installed and fixed in one of the ventilation holes 12. A rainproof component 14 is inserted into the end of the ventilation hole 12 away from the drying component 2. The rainproof component 14 includes a circular frame 15 and a rainproof plate 16 welded and fixed to the annular inner wall of the circular frame 15 at equal intervals along the vertical direction.

[0031] A through hole is provided on one side of the annular outer wall of the ring 6. The through hole and the sealing plug 8 form a sealing fit. The through hole allows the space between the outside and the two stainless steel meshes 7 inside the ring 6 to be interconnected. The sealing plug 8 can block the through hole. Desiccant particles are filled between the two stainless steel meshes 7. The size of the desiccant particles is larger than the size of the mesh of the stainless steel mesh 7. The desiccant particles are filled into the two stainless steel meshes 7 through the through hole, thereby drying and dehumidifying the air passing through, which helps to keep the incoming air dry. An installation groove 9 is provided at the center of the outer wall of the other side of the shell 1. A servo motor 10 is installed in the installation groove 9. A sealing cover 11 is inserted into one end of the installation groove 9. The servo motor 10 is installed through the installation groove 9, and the opening of the installation groove 9 is blocked by the sealing cover 11 to prevent rainwater from entering the installation groove 9.

[0032] The rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the circular shell 1. One end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected and fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor 10 through a coupling. The servo motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the drying assembly 2 to rotate. The blowing direction of the blower 13 is towards the drying assembly 2. The drying assembly 2 is located inside the container, and the rainproof assembly 14 is located outside the container. The blower 13 blows outside air into the container through the ventilation hole 12. The air is dried when it passes through the drying assembly 2. The outer diameter of the circular frame 15 is adapted to the inner diameter of the ventilation hole 12. The outer wall of the circular frame 15 is welded with equidistantly distributed limiting blocks 17 along the ring. When the circular frame 15 is inserted into the ventilation hole 12, the limiting blocks 17 limit the insertion distance of the circular frame 15, making it easy to remove the circular frame 15.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] In use, the blower 13 blows outside air into the container through the ventilation holes 12. When the air passes through the drying component 2, the stainless steel mesh 7 first filters the floating particles in the air, and then the desiccant particles between the two stainless steel meshes 7 absorb the moisture in the air, thus ensuring the dryness of the air entering the container. The air inside the container is discharged through several other ventilation holes 12, thus ensuring the circulation between the container and the outside air. When the desiccant particles in the ring 6 corresponding to the blower 13 have been used for a long time, the servo motor 10 drives the circular block 3 to rotate through the rotating shaft 4, thereby progressively changing the position of each ring 3, so that the desiccant particles that have absorbed moisture are at the air outlet position, and the desiccant particles that have not absorbed moisture are at the air inlet position, which is conducive to the long-term operation of the device.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
