Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of post-harvest processing technology of flowers, specifically to a transport and preservation packaging box for cut amaryllis flowers. Background Technology
[0002] Amaryllis cut flower transport preservation packaging boxes are functional packaging containers specifically designed for the transportation of amaryllis cut flowers. They are usually made of materials with certain cushioning and breathability, and may have internal structures to fix the flower stems to prevent the flower branches from shaking and breaking. They may also be equipped with a moisture-retaining layer or a space for preservatives to maintain appropriate humidity and reduce physical damage, thus delaying the decay of the cut flowers and ensuring that the amaryllis cut flowers still maintain good freshness and ornamental condition when they are transported to their destination.
[0003] However, the internal fixing structure design of common amaryllis cut flower transport packaging boxes fails to fully consider the unique hollow stem characteristics of amaryllis cut flowers, making the stems prone to breakage due to shaking or compression during transportation. Furthermore, existing packaging generally lacks effective water-retention structures. Since most amaryllis varieties are large-flowered with large flower diameters and rapid transpiration, they are highly susceptible to excessive water loss during transportation, affecting the quality of the cut flowers and the quality of flowering, increasing transportation losses, significantly shortening the vase life of the cut flowers, and resulting in economic losses. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide an amaryllis cut flower transport packaging box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a packaging box for transporting and preserving amaryllis cut flowers, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section of the prior art.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a packaging box for transporting and preserving amaryllis cut flowers, including a box body, with Velcro for fixing a water-retaining unit at the bottom of the inner side of the box body, a water-retaining unit for replenishing water to the cut flowers and preventing water leakage at the upper end of the Velcro, and a wavy inner lining layer for supporting and fixing the stems of the amaryllis cut flowers inside the box body.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a water collection trough is fixedly connected to the upper end of one inner wall of the food preservation container body, ventilation holes are opened at the upper ends of both side walls of the food preservation container body, slots are opened at the lower ends of both side walls of the food preservation container body, and sliding cover air window assemblies are fixedly connected inside the two slots, and an anti-condensation top cover is provided at the top of the food preservation container body.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the water-retaining unit includes a leak-proof PE film, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the Velcro, and an absorbent resin cotton sheet is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the leak-proof PE film.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the corrugated inner lining includes arc-shaped grooves, and three sets of arc-shaped grooves are formed inside the corrugated inner lining, with diameters of 10mm, 14mm and 18mm for the three sets of arc-shaped grooves, respectively.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the sliding cover air vent assembly includes a slide rail, which is fixedly connected to two opposing inner walls of the slot. Slide sleeves are slidably fitted on the outer sides of both slide rails, and a support rod is rotatably connected to the side of the two slide sleeves away from the slide rail.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the lower ends of the two slide rails are rotatably connected to support rods two, and the centers of the two side walls of the support rods two are rotatably connected to support rods three. The two ends of the two support rods three are rotatably connected to the two support rods two and the two slide sleeves respectively, and the ends of the two support rods two away from the slide rails are rotatably connected to side windows.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the lower end of the anti-condensation top cover is provided with multiple guide channels, and the multiple guide channels are set at an inclination angle of 5°.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] In this invention, when using the packaging box, the amaryllis cut flower stems are first inserted into the corresponding diameter arc-shaped grooves in the wavy inner lining to ensure the stems are stable and evenly stressed. The water-retaining unit is fixed to the bottom of the box with Velcro. After the absorbent resin cotton pads fully absorb water, they wrap around the base of the stems, and a leak-proof PE film prevents water leakage, continuously providing moisture to the cut flowers. During transportation, the opening and closing degree of the sliding vent assembly is adjusted according to the ambient temperature and humidity. The upper vents maintain basic ventilation, while the lower sliding vent assembly achieves precise airflow control by sliding the support rod to adjust the side window angle. If changes in ambient temperature cause condensation to form on the inner wall of the top cover, the 5° inclined guide channel directs the water droplets to the water collection tank, preventing condensation from dripping directly onto the flower heads. Throughout the transportation process, the packaging box, through the synergistic effect of water retention, ventilation, and anti-condensation design, effectively extends the shelf life of the amaryllis cut flowers and reduces spoilage.
[0014] Based on the above-mentioned beneficial effects, the sliding cover air vent assembly of this utility model allows the side window to tilt and rotate when the operator pulls the lower end of the side window outward. As the side window moves, the sliding sleeve moves downward along the slide rail through the first support rod. At this time, due to the restriction of the first support rod, the upper end of the side window moves a shorter distance and the lower end moves a longer distance when the side window is pulled, resulting in a tilt angle. The third support rod provides auxiliary support. Through the setting of the sliding cover air vent assembly, the air intake inside the box can be adjusted, and it works in conjunction with the water retention unit to maintain the humidity inside the box at 85±5%RH.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a packaging box for transporting and preserving amaryllis cut flowers, including a box body 1, with Velcro 2 for fixing a water-retaining unit 3 at the bottom of the inner side of the box body 1, and a water-retaining unit 3 for replenishing water to the cut flowers and preventing water leakage at the upper end of the Velcro 2, and a wavy inner lining layer 4 for supporting and fixing the stems of the amaryllis cut flowers inside the box body 1.
[0024] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5As shown, a water collection tank 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one inner wall of the food storage container body 1. Ventilation holes 6 are opened at the upper ends of both sides of the food storage container body 1. Grooves 7 are opened at the lower ends of both sides of the food storage container body 1. Sliding air window assemblies 8 are fixedly connected inside the two grooves 7. Anti-condensation top cover 9 is provided at the top of the food storage container body 1.
[0025] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, the water-retaining unit 3 includes a leak-proof PE film 31, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the Velcro 2, and an absorbent resin cotton sheet 32 is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the leak-proof PE film 31.
[0026] The bottom of the inner side of the food storage container 1 is fixed with a water-retaining unit 3 by a Velcro 2. The adhesive surface of the Velcro 2 is firmly bonded to the bottom of the container. The water-retaining unit 3 is composed of a leak-proof PE film 31 and a water-absorbing resin cotton sheet 32. The leak-proof PE film 31 prevents water leakage, and the water-absorbing resin cotton sheet 32 provides a continuous water supply to the cut flower stems.
[0027] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, the corrugated inner liner 4 includes an arc-shaped groove 41. Three sets of arc-shaped grooves 41 are formed inside the corrugated inner liner 4. The diameters of the three sets of arc-shaped grooves 41 are 12mm, 15mm and 18mm respectively.
[0028] The wavy inner lining 4 is molded from EVA material, with three sets of arc-shaped grooves 41 with diameters of 10mm, 14mm and 18mm respectively. The wavy design of the grooves fits closely to the stems of the amaryllis, providing uniform support and preventing the stems from shaking or breaking during transportation.
[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the sliding cover type air vent assembly 8 includes a slide rail 81, which is fixedly connected to two opposing inner walls of the slot 7. Slide sleeves 82 are slidably fitted on the outer sides of the two slide rails 81, and a support rod 83 is rotatably connected to the side of the two slide sleeves 82 away from the slide rails 81.
[0030] The sliding cover type air vent assembly 8 achieves sliding adjustment through the slide rail 81 and the sliding sleeve 82. The slide rail 81 is fixed to the inner wall of the slot 7, and the sliding sleeve 82 moves along the slide rail 81, which drives the first support rod 83, the second support rod 84 and the third support rod 85 to work together, ultimately controlling the opening and closing angle of the side window 86 and achieving precise adjustment of the ventilation volume.
[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6As shown, the lower ends of the two slide rails 81 are rotatably connected to support rods 84, and the center of the two side walls of the support rods 84 are rotatably connected to support rods 85. The two ends of the two support rods 85 are rotatably connected to the two support rods 84 and the two sliding sleeves 82 respectively. The ends of the two support rods 84 away from the slide rails 81 are rotatably connected to side windows 86.
[0032] The lower ends of the two slide rails 81 are rotatably connected to the second support rod 84. The second support rod 84 is linked to the slide sleeve 82 through the third support rod 85. The other end of the second support rod 84 is connected to the side window 86. When the slide sleeve 82 moves, it drives the third support rod 85 to push the second support rod 84 to rotate, thereby adjusting the opening and closing state of the side window 86 to meet the ventilation needs of different transportation environments.
[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, the lower end of the anti-condensation top cover 9 has multiple guide channels 91, which are set at an inclination angle of 5°.
[0034] The inner surface of the anti-condensation top cover 9 is provided with multiple inclined 5° guide grooves 91. After the top cover is installed, the guide grooves 91 direct the condensate to the water collection tank 5. The water collection tank 5 is located at the upper end of the inner wall of the box, which prevents the condensate from dripping onto the flower head and causing damage to the petals or mold.
[0035] Working Principle: When using the packaging box, first insert the amaryllis cut flower stems into the corresponding diameter arc-shaped grooves 41 of the wavy inner lining layer 4 to ensure the stems are stable and evenly stressed. The water-retaining unit 3 is fixed to the bottom of the box with Velcro 2. After the water-absorbing resin cotton pads 32 fully absorb water, they wrap around the base of the stems. The leak-proof PE film 31 prevents water leakage, continuously providing moisture to the cut flowers. During transportation, the opening and closing degree of the sliding cover air window assembly 8 is adjusted according to the ambient temperature and humidity. The upper vent 6 maintains basic ventilation, while the lower sliding cover air window assembly 8 achieves precise airflow control by sliding the support rod to adjust the angle of the side window 86. If changes in ambient temperature cause condensation to form on the inner wall of the top cover, the 5° inclined guide channel 91 will direct the water droplets to the water collection tank 5, preventing condensation from dripping directly onto the flower heads. Throughout the transportation process, the packaging box, through the synergistic effect of water retention, ventilation, and anti-condensation design, effectively extends the shelf life of the amaryllis cut flowers and reduces losses.
[0036] The sliding cover air vent assembly 8, when the operator pulls the lower end of the side window 86 outward, the side window 86 tilts and rotates. As the side window 86 moves, the support rod 1 83 pulls the sliding sleeve 82 down along the slide rail 81. At this time, due to the restriction of the support rod 1 83, when the side window 86 is pulled, the upper end of the side window 86 moves a shorter distance and the lower end moves a longer distance, which will result in a tilt angle. The support rod 3 85 provides auxiliary support. Through the setting of the sliding cover air vent assembly 8, the air intake inside the box can be adjusted, and it works in conjunction with the water retention unit 3 to maintain the humidity inside the box at 85±5%RH.
[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
