Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food preservation, and in particular to a novel strawberry preservation box. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of fruit preservation technology, strawberries, as a perishable fruit, have always been a focus of industry attention. Traditional strawberry preservation boxes mostly use simple sealing structures, which can isolate the outside air to a certain extent, but cannot actively intervene in the preservation process, resulting in limited preservation effects and failing to meet the stringent requirements of strawberries for preservation environment.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN206187697U, which discloses a novel strawberry preservation box. The box includes a body with multiple strawberry-containing slots, a top cover pivotally connected to the top of the body for opening and closing, and a preservative bag filled with a preservative that releases gas upon contact with water. The top cover has a water injection hole, which is sealed with waterproof tape on the outside, ensuring a relatively airtight seal when the box is closed. The preservative bag is fixed to the water injection hole on the inside of the top cover and covered with waterproof tape, sealing both the bag and the water injection hole. This novel strawberry preservation box, by using a water-relevant preservative to fumigate the strawberries inside, effectively delays strawberry senescence and inhibits strawberry diseases during storage and transportation, achieving the goal of strawberry preservation. It avoids the disadvantages of using preservative solutions and can be widely applied to post-harvest storage and transportation preservation of strawberries.
[0004] The above-mentioned device has the following problems: the tape tends to lose its adhesion and reduce its sealing performance when used frequently, which affects the preservation effect and creates the risk of adhesive stains. At the same time, the lack of a precise metering device for manual water injection makes it difficult to control the amount of water injected, which can easily lead to insufficient reaction or excessive release of the preservative, resulting in unstable preservation effect and making it difficult to meet the standardized requirements of large-scale post-harvest storage and transportation. Therefore, a new type of strawberry preservation box is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a novel strawberry preservation box, which aims to improve the problems of inaccurate manual water injection, difficulty in controlling the release of preservation gas, and failure to ensure food preservation in the existing technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel strawberry preservation box, comprising a box body, a box lid hinged to the inner wall of the box body, a water storage box fixedly connected to the top of the box lid, a slider slidably connected to the inner wall of the box lid, an opening and closing plate hinged to the top of the slider via a hinge rod, two sets of opening and closing plates being interlocked, a preservative bag being provided on the inner wall of the box lid, a water injection hole being provided on the inner wall of the box lid, a placement plate being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body, a limit mechanism being provided at the top of the slider, and a sealing component being provided on the inner wall of the box lid;
[0007] The limiting mechanism includes a fixing block, which is fixedly connected to the top of the slider. The left inner wall of the fixing block is elastically connected to a locking block by a movable spring. The upper surface of the box cover has a slot with the same shape as the locking block, and the locking block is engaged in the slot.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The sealing assembly includes an air injection hole, which is located on the inner wall of the lid. A bolt is threaded onto the inner wall of the air injection hole, and a sealing ring is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bolt.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The hinge plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box lid.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The fixing block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box lid, and the placement plate has multiple sets of holes inside.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The card block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel strawberry preservation box, comprising a box body 1. The bottom of the box body 1 has a slot corresponding to a water storage box 3 and bolts 12, allowing the box body 1 to be stacked during transportation. A lid 2 is hinged to the inner wall of the box body 1. The box body 1 and lid 2 are closed using existing technology, ensuring a tight seal between the devices. A water storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the lid 2, and a rubber stopper is provided on the water storage box 3. By opening the rubber stopper, water can be added to the water storage box 3. A fixed amount of water is injected. A slider 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lid 2. The lid 2 has a slot corresponding to the slider 6, allowing the slider 6 to move back and forth. The top of the slider 6 is hinged to an opening and closing plate 4 via a hinge rod 5. Since the length of the hinge rod 5 is fixed, when the slider 6 moves forward with one end of the hinge rod 5, the other end of the hinge rod 5 will separate from the two sets of opening and closing plates 4. When the slider 6 moves backward with one end of the hinge rod 5, the other end of the hinge rod 5 will bring the two sets of opening and closing plates 4 together.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The box has two sets of hinged panels 4, which are interlocked. A preservative bag 10 is located on the inner wall of the lid 2, containing preservatives that release preservative gas when exposed to water. A water injection hole 14 is located on the inner wall of the lid 2. A placement plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, serving as the strawberry storage area. The box body 1 also has an air injection hole 11, a sealing ring 13, and bolts 12. Injecting preservative gas through the air injection hole 11 on the box body 1 preserves the lower part of the strawberries. To ensure consistent freshness, a limiting mechanism is provided at the top of the slider 6, and a sealing component is provided on the inner wall of the lid 2. The limiting mechanism includes a fixing block 7, which is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 6. A locking block 8 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the left end of the fixing block 7 through a movable spring 9. When the locking block 8 moves to the left, the movable spring 9 is compressed. When resetting, the elastic force of the movable spring 9 is used to reset the locking block 8. A slot with the same shape as the locking block 8 is opened on the upper surface of the lid 2, and the locking block 8 is engaged in the slot.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The sealing assembly includes an air injection hole 11, which is located on the inner wall of the lid 2. A bolt 12 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the air injection hole 11, and the air injection hole 11 has a thread that matches the bolt 12. A sealing ring 13 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bolt 12. The sealing ring 13 has a groove that corresponds to the bolt 12. The sealing ring 13 is inserted into the inner wall of the air injection hole 11. The sealing ring 13 is made of rubber. When the sealing ring 13 is inserted into the air injection hole 11, the sealing ring 13 is squeezed and deformed, which will block the air injection hole 11 and prevent the preservation gas from leaking.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The opening and closing plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lid 2. The lid 2 has a slot corresponding to the opening and closing plate 4, allowing the opening and closing plate 4 to move left and right. The fixing block 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lid 2. The lid 2 has a slot corresponding to the fixing block 7, allowing the fixing block 7 to move back and forth. The placement plate 15 has multiple sets of holes inside. The locking block 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 7. The fixing block 7 has a slot corresponding to the locking block 8, allowing the locking block 8 to move left and right. The inner side of the water injection hole 14 is arc-shaped. The outer side of the opening and closing plate 4 is provided with a protrusion. The protrusion is made of rubber and will deform when squeezed, so that the two sets of opening and closing plates 4 are sealed. A sealing strip is provided at the contact position between the lid 2 and the opening and closing plate 4. When the opening and closing plate 4 moves, the opening and closing plate 4 and the lid 2 remain sealed.
[0037] Working principle: When strawberries are placed on the placement plate 15, the staff needs to close the box lid 2 and then manually turn the bolt 12 counterclockwise. When the bolt 12, along with the sealing ring 13, separates from the air injection hole 11, the staff can inject preservative gas into the box body 1 through the air injection hole 11. Then, manually align the bolt 12 and insert it into the direction of the air injection hole 11, and manually turn the bolt 12 clockwise. When the bolt 12, along with the sealing ring 13, is inserted into the air injection hole 11, the sealing ring 13 will be squeezed and deformed to block the air injection hole 11, preventing the preservative gas from leaking. Then, the staff can manually move the locking block 8 to the left. The locking block 8 will squeeze the movable spring 9. When the locking block 8 separates from the groove on the box lid 2...
[0038] At this point, manually move the locking block 8 forward. The locking block 8 will move forward along with the fixing block 7, the hinge rod 5, and the slider 6. The other end of the hinge rod 5 will cause the two sets of opening and closing plates 4 to separate from each other. When the opening and closing plates 4 do not block the opening of the water storage box 3, the water in the water storage box 3 will flow down from the water inlet 14. When the water enters the preservative bag 10, the preservative in the preservative bag 10 will react with the water and slowly release the preservative gas. When the water has completely flowed out, manually move the locking block 8 backward. The locking block 8 will move backward along with the fixing block 7, the hinge rod 5, and the slider 6. The other end of the hinge rod 5 will cause the two sets of opening and closing plates 4 to interlock and close. At this point, the locking block 8 will coincide with the slot on the lid 2. Manually release the locking block 8, and use the elasticity of the movable spring 9 to engage the locking block 8 into the slot, thus limiting the fixing block 7. If you need to preserve the strawberries again, simply repeat the above steps.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
