[0013] (3) Beneficial effects

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: It effectively avoids fruit compression and improves storage quality. In traditional storage methods, cranberries are piled up in large quantities, causing them to squeeze against each other. This device, however, uses multiple layers to divide the storage box into several independent storage chambers. Cranberries can be automatically stored in different layers within these chambers, avoiding the concentrated compression of large quantities of fruit. This effectively maintains the integrity and freshness of the cranberries, reduces juice loss and nutrient loss, and significantly improves storage quality. The layered storage function of this device allows for classified management. Placing cranberries with different characteristics in different storage chambers facilitates batch-by-batch retrieval according to actual needs during processing, improving the targeting and flexibility of processing. During feeding, simply pour the cranberries into the feeding port; the layered storage is automatically achieved through the feeding pipe and inlet, eliminating the need for manual layering. This simple and convenient operation greatly saves time and labor costs. During discharging, the locking mechanism allows for quick and easy opening or closing of the baffle plate, enabling on-demand retrieval of cranberries and improving work efficiency.

[0021] 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.

[0022] This specific embodiment is a storage device for cranberry processing, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a storage box 1, a baffle plate 4 and a locking mechanism 3. The upper surface of the storage box 1 is provided with a feeding port 2. The interior of the storage box 1 is arranged with multiple sets of shelves 6, which divide the interior of the storage box 1 into multiple independent storage cavities 7. The side walls of the storage box 1 are respectively equipped with baffle plates 4 corresponding to the multiple storage cavities 7.

[0023] A locking mechanism 3 is provided between the baffle plate 4 and the storage box 1;

[0024] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 The storage box 1 has a vertically installed feed pipe 5 inside, and multiple feed ports 8 are opened on the outer wall of the feed pipe 5, which correspond to the shelf 6. Multiple spaced discharge ports 9 are opened on the side wall of the storage box 1, and the baffle plate 4 corresponds to the discharge ports 9.

[0025] Reference Figure 3The locking mechanism 3 includes a fixing block 12, a mating block 13, and a moving block 10. The fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage box 1. The moving block 10 is slidably installed inside the fixing block 12, with one end of the moving block 10 sliding out of the fixing block 12. The mating block 13 has a C-shaped structure and is fixedly installed on the baffle plate 4. The moving block 10 slides from the inside of the fixing block 12 toward the inside of the mating block 13. A spring 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving block 10, and the other end of the spring 11 is vertically arranged and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 12. A sealing plate is installed at the feeding port 2.

[0026] Working principle: Feeding process: Open the sealing plate from the feeding port 2 and pour the harvested cranberries into the feeding port 2 on the upper surface of the storage box 1. At this time, the cranberries will fall down along the feed pipe 5 installed vertically inside the storage box 1. Since there are multiple feed ports 8 on the outer wall of the feed pipe 5 corresponding to the shelves 6, the cranberries will enter the independent storage cavities 7 separated by each shelf 6 through these feed ports 8 during the falling process, realizing automatic layered storage.

[0027] After the cranberries are placed in storage chamber 7, the independent nature of each chamber prevents a large number of cranberries from piling up together, reducing mutual compression between the fruits and effectively maintaining their integrity and freshness. At the same time, this layered storage method also facilitates air circulation within each storage chamber 7, reducing humidity around the fruits, minimizing the possibility of microbial growth, and extending the storage period of the cranberries.

[0028] The baffle plate 4 corresponds to the discharge port 9 on the side wall of the storage box 1 and is fixedly connected to the storage box 1 by the locking mechanism 3. When the locking mechanism 3 is working, the fixing block 12 is fixed to the outer wall of the storage box 1, and the actuating block 10 can slide inside the fixing block 12. When it is necessary to lock the baffle plate 4, the actuating block 10 is slid into the mating block 13. The mating block 13 is fixedly installed on the baffle plate 4 in a C-shape. After the actuating block 10 slides into the mating block 13, it will be held inside the mating block 13 under the action of the spring 11, thereby locking the baffle plate 4 to the storage box 1 and preventing cranberries from leaking out of the storage cavity 7. When it is necessary to take out cranberries from a certain storage cavity 7, simply actuate the actuating block 10 to slide it out from the mating block 13, release the locking of the baffle plate 4, and then open the corresponding baffle plate 4. The cranberries can then be taken out from the discharge port 9.

[0029] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0030] 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.
