Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, and relates to an auxiliary device for orchard harvesting and transportation, specifically an anti-crush box for orchard transport vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] In orchard production, transportation is a crucial link connecting harvesting, storage, and processing. The proper combination of orchard transport vehicles and specialized transport boxes can significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce fruit loss. Transport boxes need to balance the requirements of protecting the fruit, facilitating loading and unloading, and maximizing space utilization. The mainstream types include plastic turnover boxes made of high-density polyethylene with ventilation holes and reinforcing ribs, and wooden transport boxes with good cushioning but low reusability.
[0003] Existing orchard transport vehicle boxes are typically large in size due to the size of orchard products and transport volume considerations. They take up a lot of space when not in use for loading or transporting goods. Although existing technologies include foldable canvas boxes that can be folded up to save space when not in use, they are mostly made of flexible materials and therefore do not provide good protection against crushing, making them inconvenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, a crush-resistant box for orchard transport vehicles is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by proposing an anti-crushing box for orchard transport vehicles, which solves the problem of space occupation when the box is empty, and also solves the problem of poor anti-crushing effect of existing flexible material boxes.
[0006] The anti-crush box for orchard transport vehicles provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An anti-crush box for an orchard transport vehicle includes a box bottom, with long plates on the front and rear sides of the box bottom, and wide plates on both sides of the box bottom. A top net is movably connected to the top of the long plates, and a limit frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box bottom.
[0008] The top netting includes a disassembly frame, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to several clips, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to a long plate and a wide plate respectively, and the top of the disassembly frame is fixedly connected to a soft rubber mesh tube, the inner side of which is filled with sodium polyacrylate gel.
[0009] Long connecting strips are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the box, and wide connecting strips are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom of the box. The inner side of the top of the long connecting strip is rotatably connected to the long plate, and the inner side of the top of the wide connecting strip is rotatably connected to the wide plate.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting frame is fixedly connected to a support leg, the bottom of the support leg is fixedly connected to a rubber cap, and the bottom of the rubber cap is provided with a blind hole.
[0011] Preferably, a stacking leg is fixedly connected to the top chamfer of the assembly / disassembly frame, and a protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the stacking leg. The outer side of the protrusion cooperates with the rubber cap.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the assembly / disassembly frame is fixedly connected to a side rib, the side rib being fixedly connected to the stacking leg on the side near the stacking leg, and the top of the protrusion is chamfered.
[0013] Preferably, the wide plate has a side groove on its inner side, and a contact pad is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side groove.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the box is fixedly connected to the four sides of the connecting parts, and the inner sides of the connecting parts, the long connecting strip and the wide connecting strip are fixedly connected to the connecting rods.
[0015] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0016] (1) By setting the bottom of the box and installing the long and wide plates around it, the present invention can form a complete rigid box for storing orchard products. When storage is not needed, the wide plates can be folded along the two sides of the bottom of the box to fit against the top of the bottom of the box. The front and rear long plates can also be folded to fit against the folded wide plates, thereby reducing the storage area and reducing the space occupied when the box is empty.
[0017] (2) The present invention unfolds the long plate and the wide plate along the long strip and the wide strip. The outer limiting frame will limit the unfolding angle. After storage, the top net is used to cover the top of the formed box. When the top net is installed, the rigid disassembly frame is clamped on the outside of the long plate and the wide plate by the clip. It not only plays the role of installation, but also limits the position between the long plate and the wide plate, so as to prevent the long plate and the wide plate from collapsing inward or being compressed and causing damage to the contents, thereby improving the quality of the fruit and the economic benefits.
[0018] (3) The top mesh can also be refrigerated before storage as needed to reduce the temperature of the internal sodium polyacrylate gel. During transportation, the sinking of cold air can help preserve the contents. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an anti-crush box for an orchard transport vehicle includes a box bottom 1, with long plates 2 on the front and rear sides of the box bottom 1, and wide plates 3 on both sides of the box bottom 1. A top net 4 is movably connected to the top of the long plates 2, and a limit frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box bottom 1.
[0028] The top net 4 includes a disassembly frame 41. Several clips 42 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the disassembly frame 41. The bottom of the clips 42 are fixedly connected to the long plate 2 and the wide plate 3 respectively. A soft rubber mesh tube 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the disassembly frame 41. The inner side of the soft rubber mesh tube 43 is filled with sodium polyacrylate gel.
[0029] Long connecting strips 6 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the box 1, and wide connecting strips 7 are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom of the box 1. The inner side of the top of the long connecting strip 6 is rotatably connected to the long plate 2, and the inner side of the top of the wide connecting strip 7 is rotatably connected to the wide plate 3.
[0030] In this embodiment: by setting a box bottom 1 in conjunction with the long plates 2 and wide plates 3 movably installed around it, a complete rigid box can be formed for storing orchard products. When storage is not needed, the wide plates 3 can be folded along both sides of the box bottom 1 to fit against the top of the box bottom 1, and the front and rear long plates 2 can be folded respectively to fit against the folded wide plates 3, thereby reducing the storage area. When orchard products need to be stored, the long plates 2 and wide plates 3 are unfolded along the long joints 6 and wide joints 7, and the outer limiting frame 5 restricts their unfolding. The top of the box is covered by a top net 4 after storage. When installing the top net 4, the rigid mounting bracket 41 is clipped to the outside of the long plate 2 and the wide plate 3 by the clip 42. This not only serves as the installation but also limits the position between the long plate 2 and the wide plate 3, preventing the long plate 2 and the wide plate 3 from collapsing inward or being compressed and causing damage to the contents. If necessary, the top net 4 can also be refrigerated before storage to lower the temperature of the internal sodium polyacrylate gel. During transportation, the sinking of cold air can help keep the contents fresh.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a support leg 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting frame 5, and a rubber cap 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support leg 8. The bottom of the rubber cap 9 is provided with a blind hole.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a stacking leg 10 is fixedly connected to the top chamfer of the disassembly frame 41, and a protrusion 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the stacking leg 10. The outer side of the protrusion 11 is used in conjunction with the rubber cap 9.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the assembly / disassembly frame 41 is fixedly connected to a side rib 12, and the side rib 12 is fixedly connected to the stacking leg 10 on the side near the stacking leg 10. The top of the protrusion 11 is chamfered.
[0034] In this embodiment: by setting the support legs 8, they can be used with the rubber caps 9 for stable placement. The rubber caps 9 made of rubber can reduce the probability of slippage. By setting the stacking legs 10, when it is necessary to stack the boxes, the top stacked boxes can be placed on the outside of the protrusions 11 by using the bottom rubber caps 9 for stable stacking and assembly. The side ribs 12 can improve the stress resistance of the stacking legs 10. The chamfers can reduce the difficulty of fitting the protrusions 11 and the rubber caps 9 together.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a side groove is provided on the inner side of the wide plate 3, and a contact pad 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side groove.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, connecting parts 14 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the box 1, and connecting rods 15 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of connecting parts 14, long connecting strips 6 and wide connecting strips 7.
[0037] In this embodiment: by opening the side groove, the airflow inside the box can be facilitated. At the same time, the contact pad 13 makes it easy for personnel to hold the position of the wide plate 3 to carry the entire box. The connecting part 14 is set to cooperate with the connecting rod 15 to connect the long connecting strip 6, the wide connecting strip 7 and the bottom of the box 1, and to make it possible to rotate and fold reasonably.
[0038] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the working principle of an anti-crush box for orchard transport vehicles is as follows: A folding structure is formed by the long joint 6 and wide joint 7 between the box bottom 1 and the long plate 2 and wide plate 3. When not in use, the wide plate 3 is first folded inward to fit against the box bottom 1, and then the long plate 2 is folded to fit against the wide plate 3 to reduce storage space. When unfolded, the maximum unfolding angle of the long plate 2 and wide plate 3 is limited by the limiting frame 5 at the bottom of the box bottom 1. Combined with the support of the long joint 6 and wide joint 7, a regular box body is formed. For anti-crush protection, the disassembly frame 41 of the top mesh 4 uses clips 42 to fix the long plate 2 and wide plate 3 to prevent inward shrinkage. The limiting frame 5 prevents external compression transmission. The sodium polyacrylate gel inside the soft rubber mesh tube 43 absorbs... To mitigate impact damage from bumps and shocks, the inner contact pad 13 of the wide plate 3 reduces collision damage and provides buffer space. When stacked, the rubber cap 9 of the upper box and the protrusion 11 of the lower box fit precisely together, the side ribs 12 enhance load-bearing capacity, and the rubber cap 9 increases friction to improve stability. In terms of auxiliary functions, sodium polyacrylate gel can be pre-cooled to create a sinking cold air environment to assist in preservation, the contact pad 13 makes it easy to hold and carry, and the chamfered top of the protrusion 11 reduces the difficulty of stacking and alignment. Its core workflow is to fold and store when not in use, unfold and position to form a box when in use, install the top net 4 after loading fruit to provide protection, and finally achieve stable stacking and transportation of multiple boxes through the cooperation of the rubber cap 9 and the protrusion 11.
