Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lotus seedpod storage devices, specifically a storage device for freshly harvested lotus seedpods. Background Technology

[0002] The lotus seedpod, also known as the lotus receptacle, is a spongy receptacle that develops after the lotus flower withers. Its surface is covered with honeycomb-like pores, each containing a lotus seed. Its Latin name is the same as the lotus flower; it belongs to the Nelumbo genus of the Nelumbo family and is a perennial aquatic plant, mainly distributed in the southern regions of China, including Hunan, Hubei, and the Yangtze River Delta. When harvesting fresh lotus seedpods, workers usually need to use storage devices to preserve them for easy collection.

[0003] Currently, when harvesting fresh lotus pods, plastic crates are mostly used for storage. Each harvested lotus pod is placed into a crate. However, these crates have limited capacity, so when harvesting a large number of lotus pods, more crates need to be carried, which is inconvenient. This is especially true when harvesting lotus pods on lakes using harvesting boats. The limited space on the boats makes it difficult to load more crates simultaneously. Therefore, once the crates on the harvesting boat are full, the lotus pods need to be unloaded from the boat before the next batch can be harvested, reducing the efficiency of the harvesting process and making the method inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a storage device for harvesting fresh lotus pods, comprising a main frame, a telescopic frame one, and a telescopic frame two; a telescopic cavity one is formed inside the frame of the main frame, the telescopic frame one is movably connected inside the telescopic cavity one, a telescopic cavity two is formed inside the telescopic frame one, and the telescopic frame two is movably connected inside the telescopic cavity two; a limiting component is provided on one side of the main frame, the limiting component includes a limiting plate, a clamping screw is threadedly connected to one side of the limiting plate, and a clamping plate is fixed to one end of the clamping screw.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom four sides of the telescopic frame are all fixed with movable plates, the inner cavity of the movable plate is provided with a movable groove, and the interior of the movable groove is fixed with a reset spring.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a positioning groove is provided at the top of the inner wall of the telescopic cavity, and the movable plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic cavity. When the movable plate slides from the bottom to the top of the telescopic cavity, the spring pin is returned and engaged in the positioning groove by the return spring.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom four sides of the telescopic frame two are fixed with movable plates two, the inner cavity of the movable plate two is provided with movable groove two, and the interior of the movable groove two is fixed with a reset spring two. The other end of the reset spring two is fixed with a spring pin two, and the end of the spring pin two away from the reset spring two is a round head structure and fits against the inner wall of the telescopic cavity two.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a positioning groove is also provided at the top of the inner sidewall of the telescopic cavity II, and the movable plate II is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic cavity II. When the movable plate II slides from the bottom to the top of the telescopic cavity II, the spring pin II is returned and engaged in the positioning groove II by the reset spring II.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two sets of limiting components are fixed on the side of the main frame, and the other end of the clamping screw is fixed with a turning handle located on the outside of the limiting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this application, the designed main frame, telescopic frame one, and telescopic frame two structures can effectively expand the volume based on the original main frame, allowing one main frame to store more fresh lotus pods. This method, through convenient adjustment of the main frame volume, can store both a small number of fresh lotus pods and a large number of fresh lotus pods. When more fresh lotus pods need to be stored during harvesting, telescopic frame one and telescopic frame two can be pulled out from the main frame. Furthermore, fewer main frames make it more convenient to carry and occupy less space, making it extremely convenient to use on harvesting boats.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5A storage device for harvesting fresh lotus pods includes a main frame 1, a telescopic frame 1 2, and a telescopic frame 2 3. Handles 2 5 are fixed to the top of both sides of the main frame 1, and handles 1 4 are fixed to the top of both sides of the telescopic frame 2 3. A telescopic cavity 101 is formed inside the frame of the main frame 1, and the telescopic frame 1 2 is movably connected inside the telescopic cavity 101. A telescopic cavity 202 is formed inside the telescopic frame 1 2, and the telescopic frame 2 3 is movably connected inside the telescopic cavity 202. A limiting component is provided on one side of the main frame 1, including a limiting plate 9. A clamping screw 10 is threadedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 9, and a clamping plate 11 is fixed to one end of the clamping screw 10.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, movable plates 201 are fixed on all four sides of the bottom of the telescopic frame 2. The inner cavity of the movable plate 201 is provided with a movable groove, and a reset spring 12 is fixed inside the movable groove. A spring pin 13 is fixed at the other end of the reset spring 12. The end of the spring pin 13 away from the reset spring 12 is a round head structure and fits against the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 101. A positioning groove 7 is also provided at the top of the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 101. The movable plate 201 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 101. When the movable plate 201 slides from the bottom to the top of the telescopic cavity 101, the spring pin 13 is returned by the reset spring 12 and locked into the positioning groove 7.

[0026] Specifically, when the telescopic frame 2 slides in the telescopic cavity 101, the movable plate 201 moves on the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 101 and drives the spring pin 13 to move. When the movable plate 201 reaches the top of the telescopic cavity 101, it is pushed out of the movable slot by the return spring 12 and the round end of the spring pin 13 enters the positioning slot 7 to achieve locking and limiting, thereby stabilizing the movable plate 201 and ensuring the stability of the entire telescopic frame 2 on the main frame 1. The spring pin 13 is located far from the opening 6, that is, between the two sets of vertical openings 6, so the spring pin 13 can avoid being affected by the openings 6 on the main frame 1 when it moves.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, movable plates 301 are fixed on all four sides of the bottom of the telescopic frame 2 3. The inner cavity of the movable plate 2 301 is provided with a movable groove 2, and a reset spring 2 14 is fixed inside the movable groove 2. A spring pin 2 15 is fixed to the other end of the reset spring 2 14. The end of the spring pin 2 15 away from the reset spring 2 14 is a round head structure and fits against the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 2 202. A positioning groove 2 8 is also provided on the top of the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 2 202. The movable plate 2 301 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 2 202. When the movable plate 2 301 slides from the bottom to the top of the telescopic cavity 2 202, the spring pin 2 15 is returned by the reset spring 2 14 and locked into the positioning groove 2 8.

[0028] Specifically, when the telescopic frame 23 slides in the telescopic cavity 202, the movable plate 201 moves on the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 202 and drives the spring pin 215 to move. When the movable plate 201 reaches the top of the telescopic cavity 202, it is pushed out of the movable groove 2 by the return spring 214. The return spring 214 pushes the spring pin 215 out of the movable groove 2 and makes the round end of the spring pin 215 enter the positioning groove 28 to achieve locking and limiting, thereby stabilizing the positioning of the movable plate 201 and ensuring the stability of the entire telescopic frame 23 on the telescopic frame 2. Furthermore, the spring pin 215 is positioned far away from the opening 6, that is, between the two sets of vertical openings 6. Therefore, when the spring pin 215 moves, it can avoid being affected by the openings 6 on the telescopic frame 2.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, two sets of limiting components are fixed on the side of the main frame 1. The other end of the clamping screw 10 is fixed with a turning handle located on the outside of the limiting plate 9. The clamping plate 11 is located on the inside of the limiting plate 9 and away from the side of the main frame 1.

[0030] Specifically, by using the limiting components in conjunction with the clamping plate 11, the main frame 1 can be fixed to the side of the harvesting boat, with the main frame 1 facing the inside of the boat. This ensures that the main frame 1 has good stability on the harvesting boat and also makes it easier for staff to place the harvested fresh lotus pods into the main frame 1.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the main frame 1, telescopic frame 1 2 and telescopic frame 2 3 are all made of plastic, and the four inner sides and four outer sides of the main frame 1, telescopic frame 1 2 and telescopic frame 2 3 are all provided with strip-shaped openings 6, and the openings 6 are evenly distributed.

[0032] Specifically, the main frame 1, telescopic frame 1 2 and telescopic frame 2 3 are made of plastic and have openings 6 on their surfaces, which can reduce the overall weight and make them easy to carry. The openings 6 can also be used to increase the internal air permeability and reduce the overheating of the stored fresh lotus pods.

[0033] When using:

[0034] When using this storage device to store freshly picked lotus pods on the shore of a lake, the user can select the volume of the main frame 1 according to the number of fresh lotus pods in the current area. When there are many, the handle 4 can be pulled to pull the telescopic frame 3 out of the telescopic cavity 202 and pull the telescopic frame 2 out of the telescopic cavity 101. When the pulling reaches the limit, the movable plate 201 slides to the inner top wall of the telescopic cavity 101. The spring pin 13 in the movable plate 201 is pushed into the positioning groove 7 by the return spring 12, thereby stabilizing the telescopic frame 2. Similarly, when the telescopic frame 3 is pulled out, the movable plate 301 moves upward from the telescopic cavity 202. The spring pin 15 in the movable plate 301 is pushed into the positioning groove 8 by the return spring 14, thereby stabilizing the telescopic frame 3.

[0035] When the number of fresh lotus pods to be harvested is small, the main frame 1 can be used directly to store the fresh lotus pods without removing the telescopic frame 1 2 and telescopic frame 2 3.

[0036] When the device is needed on the harvesting boat to store freshly harvested lotus pods, the staff can place the side of the main frame 1 with the limiting component facing outwards and use the limiting plate 9 to hang the main frame 1 on the side of the harvesting boat. Then, tighten the clamping screw 10 to drive the clamping plate 11 to clamp onto the boat, thereby stabilizing the entire main frame 1 on the harvesting boat and preventing the main frame 1 from becoming unstable as the harvesting boat rocks. Then, the telescopic frame 1 2 and telescopic frame 2 3 can be pulled out from the main frame 1 in the same way to adjust the storage volume of the main frame 1, which can facilitate the storage of more fresh lotus pods on the harvesting boat.

[0037] When it is necessary to retract the telescopic frame 12 and the telescopic frame 23, simply press down on the telescopic frame 12 and the telescopic frame 23. Under the action of the large downward pressure, the spring pin 13 will exit from the positioning groove 7 and recompress the reset spring 12, and the spring pin 25 will exit from the positioning groove 8 and recompress the reset spring 24. Thus, the telescopic frame 12 and the telescopic frame 23 will lose the limiting and locking effect of the spring pin 13 and the spring pin 25, making it easy to retract into the main frame 1.

[0038] It should be noted that, through the adjustment of the overall volume, the main frame 1 can be carried in a way that is equivalent to three existing plastic frames. That is, only one main frame 1 is needed to achieve the storage capacity of three plastic frames, which makes it more convenient to carry. Especially when harvesting fresh lotus pods on the harvesting boat, carrying a small number of main frames 1 can store more fresh lotus pods, and can also effectively reduce the space occupied on the harvesting boat and reduce the number of trips that staff need to make to and from the shore to transfer fresh lotus pods.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
