Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic basket technology, specifically a new type of plastic turnover storage basket. Background Technology

[0002] Transfer plastic crates are plastic containers used for storing and transporting goods, and are widely used in food processing, logistics warehousing, agricultural production and other fields.

[0003] Traditional plastic crates for transport typically have a single-cavity structure, resulting in poor stability when stacked and a tendency to tip over. The structural strength of the crates is also insufficient, making them prone to deformation when loaded with heavy items. Furthermore, existing plastic crates have limited functionality, offering low efficiency in handling items requiring cooling, heating, or draining, and failing to meet diverse usage needs. The applicant applied for patent number CN202321669933.0, entitled "A Novel Plastic Turnover Storage Crate," which addresses the above technical problems. However, in practical use, the applicant found that, for example, in the food processing field, when cooling, freezing, or steaming items such as vermicelli, existing plastic crates cannot effectively help maintain the shape of the items or accelerate processing speed, thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing transfer plastic crates cannot help fix the shape of the products they hold when freezing or cooking, and at the same time, they cannot speed up the processing, thus affecting production efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a novel plastic turnover storage basket, including a basket body, a storage compartment is provided inside the basket body, drainage holes are evenly distributed on the basket body and the storage compartment, a circular conical column is provided inside the storage compartment, and the diameter of the upper section of the conical column is smaller than the diameter of the lower section, the conical column is hollow and has a lower vent hole at the bottom, the lower vent hole partially penetrates the storage compartment and extends downwards, and an upper vent hole is provided at the top of the conical column.

[0006] Preferred technical solution 1: The storage compartments are arranged in a rectangular array with multiple groups connected to each other, and the storage compartments are also provided with reinforcing ribs on the side near the basket body.

[0007] Preferred technical solution 2: Four sets of limiting protrusions are provided at the four corners of the top of the basket, and a limiting protrusion ring is provided at the bottom of the basket in response to the four sets of limiting protrusions.

[0008] Preferred technical solution 3: The side wall of the basket is provided with multiple sets of ventilation windows and support ribs at equal intervals.

[0009] Preferred technical solution four: The basket and the storage compartment are integrally injection molded.

[0010] The novel plastic storage basket proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above structure:

[0011] (1) By setting a circular cone with a larger diameter at the top than at the bottom in the storage compartment, it can effectively shape irregular items such as vermicelli, and effectively prevent them from spreading or deforming during cooling, freezing, drying and other processes, thus significantly improving the appearance regularity and quality stability of the product.

[0012] (2) The conical column is hollow and has an upper vent at the top and a lower vent at the bottom that partially penetrates the storage compartment, forming an efficient airflow or water circulation channel. During freezing, it can accelerate the transfer of cold energy and shorten the freezing time; during cooking and steaming, it facilitates the rapid penetration of hot water and steam into the interior of the items, speeding up rehydration and heating, while ensuring that the items are heated or soaked evenly, greatly improving the efficiency of production and processing.

[0013] (3) The basket is equipped with multiple storage compartments in a rectangular array and reinforced with ribs, which improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure. The design of the top limiting protrusion and the bottom limiting ring facilitates the stable stacking of the basket and saves storage space. The ventilation windows and support ribs on the side walls further optimize airflow and enhance the load-bearing performance in the vertical direction. In addition, the one-piece injection molded polypropylene or high-density polyethylene material, combined with reasonable size and drainage hole design, makes it not only suitable for the processing of food items, but also meets the needs of the transfer and processing of aquatic products and other items, with a wide range of applications.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A novel plastic turnover storage basket includes a basket body 1, a storage compartment 2 is provided inside the basket body 1, drainage holes 3 are evenly distributed on the basket body 1 and the storage compartment 2, a circular conical column 4 is provided inside the storage compartment 2, and the diameter of the upper section of the conical column 4 is smaller than the diameter of the lower section, the conical column 4 is hollow and has a lower vent 5 at the bottom, the lower vent 5 partially penetrates the storage compartment 2 and extends downwards, and an upper vent 6 is provided at the top of the conical column 4. The conical column 4 facilitates the shaping of irregularly shaped items, such as when freezing, the circular conical column 4 can help to better fix the shape of vermicelli, allowing the vermicelli to... The cake is well-formed and not easily scattered or deformed during cooling, freezing, and drying. The upper vent 6 and lower vent 5 work together to accelerate the cooling, freezing, and drying of irregularly shaped items, shortening the time required. The basket can also hold aquatic products and freeze them in a cold storage; the dense holes accelerate freezing. Simultaneously, the conical column 4 facilitates heat distribution. During subsequent cooking, the recessed areas of irregularly shaped items allow hot water, steam, and cold water to penetrate the cake more easily, accelerating rehydration and ensuring even heating or soaking of the noodles or other irregularly shaped items, resulting in more thorough and faster cooking, making it more convenient to use and eat. Multiple sets of storage compartments 2 are arranged in a rectangular array and connected to each other, increasing the overall stability of the storage compartments 2. To further enhance the connection stability between the storage compartments 2 and the basket body 1, reinforcing ribs 7 are also provided on the side of the storage compartments 2 closest to the basket body 1.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, to facilitate the stacking of baskets 1, four sets of limiting protrusions 8 are provided at the four corners of the top of basket 1, and limiting protrusion rings 9 are provided at the bottom of basket 1 to correspond to the four sets of limiting protrusions 8. In actual use, when stacked, the limiting protrusion rings 9 of the upper set of baskets 1 are limited by the four sets of limiting protrusions 8 of the lower set of baskets 1, so as to achieve stable stacking. In order to further increase the load-bearing capacity of basket 1 in the vertical direction and facilitate airflow, multiple sets of ventilation windows 10 and supporting stiffeners 11 are provided on the side walls of basket 1.

[0026] The basket body 1 and the storage compartments 2 are integrally injection molded from polypropylene or polyethylene. The dimensions of the basket body 1 are 802mm in length, 587mm in width, and 75mm in height. The basket body 1 contains 40 sets of storage compartments 2 arranged in an 8×5 linear pattern. The diameter of the drainage hole 3 is 4mm. The bottom diameter of the cone column 4 is 25mm, the top diameter is 16mm, and the height is 26mm.

[0027] Specific instructions for using plastic storage bins

[0028] In use, irregularly shaped items, such as vermicelli, are placed into the storage compartment 2 inside the basket 1. Since the storage compartment 2 is equipped with a circular cone 4, and the diameter of the upper section of the cone 4 is smaller than the diameter of the lower section, the irregularly shaped items will naturally conform to the shape of the cone 4. The shape can be initially fixed during the placement process, which helps to maintain the regular shape during subsequent processing and prevents them from falling apart and deforming.

[0029] When it is necessary to cool, freeze, or dry irregularly shaped items in the storage compartment 2, the basket 1 containing the items is placed in the appropriate processing equipment such as a cold storage or drying room. The conical column 4 is hollow, and its top vent 6 and bottom vent 5, which partially penetrate the storage compartment 2 and extend downwards, form an airflow channel, which can accelerate the circulation of air or refrigerant, thereby speeding up the cooling, freezing, or drying process of irregularly shaped items and shortening the processing time. If used for freezing aquatic products, the drainage holes 3 evenly distributed on the basket 1 and storage compartment 2 can drain water in time, and together with the ventilation holes, further improve the freezing efficiency.

[0030] For irregularly shaped items that need to be cooked by steaming or boiling, place the basket 1 containing the items into the steaming or boiling equipment. The structure of the conical column 4 allows the recessed part of the irregularly shaped items to come into better contact with hot water and steam, making it easier for hot water and steam to penetrate into the inside of the items, accelerating the rehydration speed, and making the irregularly shaped items evenly heated or soaked, so that they are cooked more thoroughly and faster, making them convenient for subsequent consumption and use.

[0031] When multiple baskets 1 need to be stacked to save space, align the limiting protrusions 9 at the bottom of the upper set of baskets 1 with the limiting protrusions 8 at the four corners of the top of the lower set of baskets 1. This ensures that the limiting protrusions 9 are locked in place by the limiting protrusions 8, achieving stable stacking and preventing shaking or tipping during stacking. Multiple sets of support ribs 11 evenly spaced on the side walls of the baskets 1 effectively increase the vertical load-bearing capacity of the baskets, ensuring structural stability during stacking or transportation. Simultaneously, the ventilation windows 10 on the side walls further assist airflow, ensuring efficient gas exchange in various processing and transfer scenarios. After use, the baskets 1 and storage compartments 2 can be rinsed and cleaned through the drain holes 3. Water can drain quickly through the drain holes, facilitating cleaning. After cleaning, the baskets 1 can be stacked for storage, saving space for future use.
