[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 The present application will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] This application discloses a fruit and vegetable protective cover, including a first half cover 1 and a second half cover 4 that can be fastened together. The bottom sides of the first half cover 1 are symmetrically provided with water collection troughs 2, and the water collection troughs 2 are raised upward along the height direction to form a support platform 3. When the second half cover 4 and the first half cover 1 are connected at the opening, they can form a complete storage space for storing fruits and vegetables. The surfaces of the first half cover 1 and the second half cover 4 are respectively provided with a number of ventilation holes 5.
[0023] In one embodiment, in order to protect fruits of different sizes, the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 are designed separately, so that they can be fastened together to match fruits of different sizes, so as to provide different storage spaces with flexible matching; and the separate design can facilitate the stacking and transportation of the fruits separately, which can reduce weight and space occupation.
[0024] When using this fruit and vegetable protective cover, place the bottom of the first half of the cover 1 on the ground and keep it horizontal relative to the ground, place the fruit and vegetables on the support platform 3, and then fasten the second half of the cover 4 on top of the first half of the cover 1.
[0025] Using the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable protective cover has the following beneficial effects: Firstly, the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 enclose the melons and fruits within the containment space. While maintaining ventilation, they can prevent hail and rainstorms from directly impacting the surface of the melons and fruits and reduce the damage caused by pesticide residues on the ground or birds pecking at the melons and fruits. Secondly, to ensure the respiration of the fruit surface, the support platform 3 can separate the fruit from the ground to reduce the adverse effects of soil temperature and humidity changes on the fruit skin, and can also prevent the fruit from being scalded by excessively high ground temperature; the water collection trough 2 has the function of diverting and collecting excess dew, reducing the risk of the fruit being soaked in water for a long time.
[0026] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides further embodiments to improve the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable protective cover.
[0027] Preferably, the bottom of the water collection tank 2 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 6 arranged in an array along its length direction to drain the water in the water collection tank 2 in a timely manner and prevent the water from overflowing onto the support platform 3.
[0028] To prevent the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable protective cover from moving or overturning due to wind, the bottom of the first half of the cover 1 is provided with several positioning parts 7. Specifically, the positioning part 7 is an inverted cone, which is used to insert into the soil to fix the first half of the cover 1.
[0029] To reduce the direct impact of hail and raindrops on the second half of the cover 4, the wall outline of the second half of the cover 4 is a semi-circular arc structure, which can disperse the impact force of hail and raindrops, reduce the risk of the fruit and vegetable protective cover being deformed by impact under abnormal weather conditions, and reduce the risk of sunburn on the fruit and vegetables caused by strong sunlight.
[0030] Furthermore, several reinforcing ribs 8 are provided at intervals along the axial direction on the outer side of the second half-cover 4 to further improve the impact resistance and deformation resistance.
[0031] Since the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 clamp the vines of the melon and fruit together during the fastening process, in order to prevent damage to the vines, a notch 9 is provided on one side of the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 respectively. The notch 9 can form a through hole for accommodating the vines when the two are fastened together. Specifically, the notch 9 can be set in an arc shape, which fits the skin of the vines and further reduces damage to the vines.
[0032] In another embodiment, to improve the portability of the fruit and vegetable protective cover, a docking plate 10 is provided on the outer edge of the first half cover 1 and the second half cover 4. The first half cover 1 and the second half cover 4 are flexibly connected on one side edge so that the first half cover 1 and the second half cover 4 are connected as one unit. The first half cover 1 and the second half cover 4 can rotate relative to each other around the flexible connection point so that the docking plate 10 can complete the fastening of the first half cover 1 and the second half cover 4 in the folded state.
[0033] Furthermore, the aforementioned mating plates 10 are respectively provided with interlocking protrusions 11 and grooves 12 on opposite sides. In use, folding the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 along the aforementioned flexible connection and inserting the corresponding protrusions 11 into the grooves 12 can improve the fastening strength and prevent the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 from easily opening automatically.
[0034] In the above embodiments, both the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 are made of light-transmitting lightweight plastic, which reduces the overall weight while ensuring that the fruits receive sufficient sunlight.
[0035] To prevent the fruits and vegetables from being scalded by excessively high surface temperatures, several heat dissipation channels 13 are provided on the outer surfaces of the first half-cover 1 and the second half-cover 4 to increase the contact area between the fruit and vegetable protective cover and the air, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0036] When using this fruit and vegetable protective cover, make sure to set the direction of its heat dissipation channel 13 along the common wind direction of the planting area, which can improve the airflow guidance effect, heat dissipation efficiency and ventilation effect.
[0037] By combining the various structures and features in the above embodiments, the corresponding functions of the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable protective cover are improved, enabling it to provide more comprehensive protection for fruits and vegetables and reducing the risk of damage to fruits and vegetables during the ripening stage and before harvesting.
[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this application are merely examples for clearly illustrating this application, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
