Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water chestnut transportation, and in particular to a buffer and pressure-reducing transportation box for water chestnut supply chain. Background Technology
[0002] When transporting water chestnuts, specific measures must be taken according to their different forms (fresh, dried, or cooked) to ensure quality and freshness. They are extremely prone to spoilage at room temperature and can only be stored for about 4 hours. Before long-distance transportation, they must be shelled, sealed with water, and stored by freezing to prevent moisture loss and spoilage.
[0003] In the existing technology, when transporting fresh water chestnuts, they are mainly packaged in boxes or containers. After the water chestnuts are packaged, ice packs are needed for long-distance transportation to prevent the water chestnuts from losing moisture due to excessively high external temperatures, which would affect their subsequent use. However, in the existing technology, ice packs are placed inside the water chestnuts, and they are easily damaged by the collision of the ice packs during the journey. At the same time, during the bumpy journey, the vibration of the transport box can easily cause the water chestnuts inside to be shaken, reducing the gaps between them, and causing them to collide with each other, resulting in damage to the water chestnuts. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a buffer and pressure-reducing transport box for the supply chain of water chestnut, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A cushioning and pressure-reducing transport box for the supply chain of water chestnuts includes an outer box, an inner box placed at the bottom inside the outer box, and a number of ventilation slots on two opposite side walls of the inner box. Two mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two side walls of the inner box located in the ventilation slots. A fixed shaft and a rotating shaft are rotatably connected between the two corresponding mounting blocks. A reinforcing member is provided on the fixed shaft to reinforce the water chestnuts in the inner box. A cryopreservation component is provided inside the outer box for placing ice packs.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the reinforcement includes a fixed wheel, an elastic strap is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the fixed wheel, the end of the elastic strap passes through the corresponding ventilation groove and is fixedly connected to an arc hook, and an annular groove is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft at a position corresponding to the arc hook, and the arc hook is engaged in the annular groove.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a circular groove is provided at the end of the rotating shaft, a ratchet groove is provided on the inner circumference of the circular groove, a pawl is rotatably connected to the side of the corresponding mounting block by a torsion spring, the end of the pawl extends into the corresponding ratchet groove, and a torsion bar is rotatably connected to the side of the corresponding mounting block, the end of the torsion bar extends into the circular groove and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a lower airbag pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner box, and an upper airbag pad is placed at the top of the inner box.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the cryopreservation component includes a cap that snaps onto the top of an outer box, a top groove is provided at the bottom of the cap, and a filter screen is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top groove.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: an insulation layer is laid on the inner wall of the outer box, and a gap is left between the inner wall of the outer box and the outer wall of the inner box.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0013] 1. This cushioning and pressure-reducing transport box for the supply chain of water chestnuts uses reinforcing components to stabilize the fresh water chestnuts inside the box during use, and fills the gaps at the top and bottom of the water chestnut pile, reducing the gaps after the water chestnuts are stored, and making each water chestnut fit tightly against each other, thus avoiding damage caused by collision after vibration, and thus avoiding economic losses.
[0014] 2. This type of cushioning and pressure-reducing transport box for the supply chain of water chestnuts involves removing the filter screen, placing ice packs into the top slot, sealing the filter screen, and then sealing the top of the outer box with the lid. This allows the cold air from the ice or ice packs to fall directly into the inner box to cool the fresh water chestnuts. At the same time, it uses water vapor for humidification to prevent the fresh water chestnuts from drying out and being damaged due to excessively high temperatures. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Example:
[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 7 This utility model discloses a cushioning and pressure-reducing transport box for the supply chain of water chestnuts, including an outer box 1. An inner box 2 is placed at the bottom of the outer box 1. A number of ventilation grooves 3 are opened on two opposite side walls of the inner box 2. Two mounting blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two side walls of the inner box 2 located in the ventilation grooves 3. A fixed shaft 5 and a rotating shaft 6 are rotatably connected between the two corresponding mounting blocks 4. A reinforcing member 7 is provided on the fixed shaft 5 to reinforce the water chestnuts in the inner box 2. A cryopreservation component 8 is provided in the outer box 1 for placing ice packs.
[0027] In this embodiment, please refer to 1-5. Figure 1 and 5After releasing the fixing parts, the fresh water chestnuts are placed in the inner box 2. The fixing parts 7 are then used to secure the water chestnuts in place. The ventilation slots 3 on the inner box 2 allow the ice packs at the freezer storage unit 8 to release cold air, which then enters the inner box 2 through the ventilation slots 3 to cool the fresh water chestnuts. The moisture from the melting ice packs also enters the inner box 2 through the ventilation slots, humidifying the fresh water chestnuts inside. This ensures that the fresh water chestnuts remain in a humid and cool environment during transportation. The fixing parts 7 are then used to secure the fresh water chestnuts, preventing them from being damaged by bumps and collisions.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the reinforcement 7 includes a fixed wheel 9, an elastic strap 10 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the fixed wheel 9, the end of the elastic strap 10 passes through the corresponding ventilation groove 3 and is fixedly connected to an arc hook 11, and an annular groove 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 6 at a position corresponding to the arc hook 11, and the arc hook 11 is stuck in the annular groove 12.
[0029] The bottom of the inner box 2 is fixedly connected to the lower airbag pad 17, and the top of the inner box 2 is placed with the upper airbag pad 18.
[0030] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 - Figure 4 Please refer to Figure 4 After the fresh water chestnuts are placed into the inner box 2, pull the corresponding arc hook 11. The arc hook 11 will pull the corresponding elastic strap 10 and let it pass through the corresponding ventilation groove 3. At the same time, the arc hook 11 is pulled to the position of the rotating shaft 6 and hooks the arc hook 11 into the corresponding annular groove 12 on the rotating shaft 6. At this time, the fresh water chestnuts are fixed.
[0031] Before placing the fresh water chestnuts, the upper airbag 18 is removed, and the lower airbag 17 is placed at the bottom of the inner box 2. The width of the ventilation groove 3 is smaller than the diameter of the fresh water chestnuts to prevent them from leaking out. After the fresh water chestnuts are placed, the upper airbag 18 is placed in the inner box 2 and made to fit the fresh water chestnuts. When the elastic strap 10 passes through the ventilation groove 3, the elastic strap 10 will press down on the upper airbag 18, and the upper airbag 18 will be squeezed. This causes the bottom of the upper airbag 18 to expand due to the increased air pressure and insert into the gap left by the fresh water chestnuts, thereby reducing the collision gap of the fresh water chestnuts and increasing the pressure on the fresh water chestnuts to prevent them from colliding with each other during bumps.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5-6As shown, a circular groove 13 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 6, and a ratchet groove 14 is provided on the inner circumference side of the circular groove 13. A pawl 15 is rotatably connected to the side of the corresponding mounting block 4 by a torsion spring. The end of the pawl 15 extends into the corresponding ratchet groove 14. A torsion bar 16 is rotatably connected to the side of the corresponding mounting block 4. The end of the torsion bar 16 extends into the circular groove 13 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 13.
[0033] In this embodiment, reference Figure 6 After the arc hook 11 hooks the annular groove 12, the torsion bar 16 is manually turned. The torsion bar 16 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 6, thereby driving the arc hook 11 to rotate and roll up the elastic strap 10, so that the elastic strap 10 is tightened, increasing the pressure on the upper airbag 18. When the number of fresh water chestnuts in the inner box 2 is small, the elastic strap 10 can be tightened to avoid the upper airbag 18 having too little protective force and affecting the fixation of the fresh water chestnuts.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cryopreservation component 8 includes a cover 19 that snaps onto the top of the outer box 1. A top groove 20 is provided at the bottom of the cover 19. A filter screen 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top groove 20. An insulation layer is laid on the inner side wall of the outer box 1. A gap is left between the inner side wall of the outer box 1 and the outer side wall of the inner box 2.
[0035] In this embodiment, reference Figure 7 The bottom of the cover 19 has a top groove 20, which is sealed by a filter screen 21. The filter screen 21 is fixed to the bottom of the top groove 20 by a snap-fit method (the snap-fit method can be a snap-fit or an insertion snap-fit). When using, remove the filter screen 21, then place an ice pack (or put ice cubes directly) into the top groove 20, then seal the filter screen 21, and then seal the cover 19 on the top of the outer box 1. This allows the cold air from the ice cubes or ice packs to fall directly into the inner box 2 to cool the fresh water chestnuts. At the same time, it uses water vapor to humidify the water chestnuts and prevent them from drying out and being damaged due to excessive temperature.
[0036] The insulation layer can be laid with insulation cotton or rubber and plastic sheets to keep the inside of the outer box 1 warm and prevent the ice packs or ice cubes from melting too quickly due to accelerated heat loss inside the outer box 1.
[0037] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the fixing member is released from the positioning, and then the fresh water chestnut is placed in the inner box 2. After the fresh water chestnut is put into the inner box 2, the corresponding arc hook 11 is pulled. The arc hook 11 will pull the corresponding elastic strap 10 and let it pass through the corresponding ventilation groove 3. At the same time, the arc hook 11 is pulled to the position of the rotating shaft 6 and hooks the arc hook 11 into the corresponding annular groove 12 on the rotating shaft 6. At this time, the fixing of the fresh water chestnut is completed.
[0038] After the arc hook 11 hooks the annular groove 12, manually twist the torsion bar 16. The torsion bar 16 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 6, thereby driving the arc hook 11 to rotate and roll up the elastic strap 10, so that the elastic strap 10 is tightened, increasing the pressure on the upper airbag 18. When the number of fresh water chestnuts in the inner box 2 is small, the elastic strap 10 can be tightened to avoid the upper airbag 18 having too little protective force and affecting the fixation of the fresh water chestnuts.
[0039] When using, remove the filter screen 21, then place an ice pack (or directly put ice cubes) into the top groove 20, then seal the filter screen 21, and then seal the top of the outer box 1 with the cover 19, so that the cold air from the ice cubes or ice packs can fall directly into the inner box 2 to cool the fresh water chestnuts, while using water vapor to humidify them and prevent the fresh water chestnuts from drying out and being damaged due to excessive temperature.
[0040] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
