Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of preservation and refrigeration, specifically to a golden apricot preservation and refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] Golden apricots are highly favored by consumers due to their excellent quality and taste, and they are also a high-quality raw material for canned goods and industrialized fruit pulp production. However, apricots have poor storage and transportability, often considered a "short-legged" fruit, making post-harvest handling particularly crucial. Their suitable storage temperature has been determined to be 0℃-1℃, and current cold storage methods generally utilize fixed cold storage facilities.

[0003] This type of device has several shortcomings: First, fixed cold storage facilities have high investment costs and large floor space requirements, making them unsuitable for small-scale growers; second, traditional cold storage facilities are not easily movable and cannot adapt to the rapid pre-cooling requirements after apricot harvesting; third, existing devices struggle to achieve uniform airflow, easily leading to uneven temperature distribution within the cold storage space; furthermore, the fixed structure of traditional cold storage devices prevents flexible adjustments based on the amount of apricots stored, resulting in wasted space and energy. These problems severely impact the preservation effect and economic benefits of apricots. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a cold storage device for preserving golden apricots.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This application provides a cold storage device for preserving apricots, including a base plate and multiple detachable arched frames supported on its upper part. The outer side of the arched frames is covered with a film to form a cold storage space. An air duct is connected to the top of the cold storage space and is connected to a cold air fan outside the cold storage space.

[0007] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the base plate is composed of multiple strip plates spliced ​​together, and the strip plates are provided with connecting blocks for insertion into the arch frame, and the connecting blocks are provided with connecting pins for connection with the arch frame.

[0008] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the arched frame is connected and fixed by multiple horizontally arranged connecting crossbars, and that a lighting lamp is installed on the connecting crossbar at the top of the refrigerated space.

[0009] Furthermore, this application also proposes that there are two air ducts distributed on both sides of the refrigeration space, connected by a crossbar and Velcro, and that the air ducts have multiple air outlets.

[0010] Furthermore, this application also proposes that multiple sliding sleeves are sleeved on the corresponding connecting crossbar, the sliding sleeves are fixed by locking screws, and the sliding sleeves are connected to the corresponding air ducts by Velcro.

[0011] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the air cooler and the covering film are provided with multiple air outlets, which are respectively configured as direct air outlets and air ducts connected to the air duct.

[0012] Furthermore, this application also proposes that a partition be provided at the front end of the refrigerated space to form an anteroom, and that a zipper door be provided at the anteroom and the front end of the refrigerated space.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are: through the structural design of a detachable arched frame and a spliced ​​base plate, this utility model realizes the flexible assembly and movement of the device, and uses distributed air ducts and adjustable sliding sleeves to achieve uniform air supply.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this application proposes a cold storage device for preserving golden apricots, including a base plate and multiple detachable arched frames supported on its upper part. The outer side of the arched frames is covered with a film to form a cold storage space. An air duct is connected to the top of the cold storage space and is connected to a cold air fan outside the cold storage space.

[0020] The base plate can be made of plastic or composite materials, and its shape can be rectangular, laid on a relatively flat surface. The arched frame is preferably made of lightweight metal tubing bent into shape, and connected to the base plate by bolts, clips, or plug-in connections. The covering film can be made of PE, PVC, or composite film material, with a thickness of 0.1-0.5mm, and can be fixed to the arched frame by straps or Velcro. The air duct is a flexible tube with an inner diameter of 100-200mm, connected to the air cooler outlet via flanges or quick couplings. The air cooler is a small refrigeration unit with a power of 200-500W, and the outlet air temperature is adjustable from 0-5℃.

[0021] This device offers a portable refrigeration solution for preserving apricots through a modular design. Its detachable structure facilitates transportation and assembly, while the encasing film creates a sealed space that effectively maintains a low-temperature environment. Air ducts evenly distribute cool air throughout the refrigerated space. Compared to traditional fixed cold storage facilities, this device boasts lower investment costs and more flexible deployment, meeting the time-sensitive requirements of post-harvest apricot processing and quickly establishing a suitable 0-1℃ storage environment at the production site. The combined design of the air cooler and air ducts ensures efficient utilization of cooling capacity, avoiding problems such as localized overcooling or uneven temperature distribution.

[0022] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the base plate is composed of multiple strip plates spliced ​​together, and the strip plates are provided with connecting blocks for insertion into the arch frame, and the connecting blocks are provided with connecting pins for connection with the arch frame.

[0023] Specifically, the strip panels can be made of aluminum alloy or engineering plastic and are assembled using mortise and tenon joints or bolts. The connecting blocks are preferably metal castings, with their insertion slot dimensions matching the cross-section of the arched frame legs. The connecting pins can be made of stainless steel, with a diameter ranging from 6-10mm, and are fixed to the connecting blocks through insertion holes.

[0024] Therefore, this technical solution achieves rapid assembly, disassembly, and transportation of the device through a modular splicing structure. The strip-plate splicing design facilitates adjustment of the base plate size according to actual needs, and the mating structure of the connecting blocks and connecting pins ensures connection strength. Compared with existing fixed refrigeration devices, this design significantly reduces transportation volume, enabling the device to adapt to the dispersed nature of apricot-producing areas, while avoiding the deformation problems associated with traditional welded frames.

[0025] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the arched frame is connected and fixed by multiple horizontally arranged connecting crossbars, and that a lighting lamp is installed on the connecting crossbar at the top of the refrigerated space.

[0026] The connecting crossbar is made of metal tubing with a circular or square cross-section and a diameter or side length of 20-50mm. Both ends of the connecting crossbar have threaded holes or quick-release clips for fixing to the arched frame using bolts or clips. As a preferred embodiment, the surface of the connecting crossbar can be textured with anti-slip material to enhance connection stability. The lighting fixture uses an LED light source with a power of 5-10W, connects to the connecting crossbar via a waterproof socket, and has a transparent protective cover on the outside of the lamp body.

[0027] Specifically, multiple arched frames are connected into a unified framework structure by horizontally arranged connecting rods, effectively enhancing the stability of the device. The lighting design at the top connecting rod solves the problem of internal lighting in the cold storage space, facilitating observation of the apricot's preservation status. Compared to existing fixed cold storage facilities, this solution maintains structural stability while achieving modularity and mobility, making it particularly suitable for the short-term preservation needs of fruits with poor storage and transportability, such as apricots. The optimized placement of the lighting fixtures avoids occupying cold storage space while providing uniform illumination.

[0028] Furthermore, this application also proposes that there are two air ducts distributed on both sides of the refrigeration space, connected by a crossbar and Velcro, and that the air ducts have multiple air outlets.

[0029] Specifically, the air ducts are arranged symmetrically on both sides, with each duct detachably fixed to the connecting crossbar using Velcro. The Velcro can have a conventional structure combining hook and loop sides, with the hook side fixed to the surface of the connecting crossbar and the loop side fixed to the outer wall of the air duct. Air outlets are evenly arranged along the length of the air duct, with a preferred outlet diameter of 3-5 cm and a spacing of 15-20 cm. As a preferred embodiment, the air ducts can be made of corrugated flexible tubing, allowing for easy adjustment of the bending angle and length according to actual needs.

[0030] Therefore, this technical solution achieves uniform airflow distribution within the cold storage space through a double-sided air duct design, with the Velcro connection facilitating the installation and maintenance of the air ducts. Compared to a single-sided air duct arrangement, the double-sided arrangement effectively avoids airflow dead zones and improves the temperature uniformity of the cold storage space. The optimized design of the air outlets further ensures that cold air can evenly cover the entire storage area, thereby better maintaining the 0℃-1℃ storage environment required for apricot fruits. This solution is particularly suitable for temporary cold storage units that require frequent adjustments and relocation, solving the problem of the inconvenience of moving traditional fixed cold storage units.

[0031] Furthermore, this application also proposes that multiple sliding sleeves are sleeved on the corresponding connecting crossbar, the sliding sleeves are fixed by locking screws, and the sliding sleeves are connected to the corresponding air ducts by Velcro.

[0032] The sliding sleeve adopts a sliding sleeve structure, allowing its position to be adjusted along the length of the connecting crossbar. Once adjusted, it is secured with locking screws. As a preferred embodiment, the sliding sleeve can be made of plastic or metal, with an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the connecting crossbar to achieve a sliding fit. The Velcro connection can use adhesive-backed Velcro, with one side fixed to the outer surface of the sliding sleeve and the other side fixed to the outer wall of the air duct. This allows for flexible adjustment of the air duct's position according to actual needs, and the double-fixing method ensures reliable connection.

[0033] This technical solution achieves adjustable installation of the air duct within the refrigerated space through a combination of a sliding sleeve and Velcro. Specifically, the sliding sleeve structure allows for fine-tuning of the air duct's position according to actual usage needs, the locking screw provides the main fixing force, while the Velcro serves to assist in fixing and facilitate disassembly. Compared to the fixed installation of air ducts in existing technologies, this design ensures both the stability of the air duct installation and improves the flexibility of the device, better adapting to the preservation needs of apricots of different sizes.

[0034] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the air cooler and the covering film are provided with multiple air outlets, which are respectively configured as direct air outlets and air ducts connected to the air duct.

[0035] Specifically, a direct air vent refers to the cold air generated by the air cooler entering the refrigerated space directly through an opening in the covering film, while a ductwork directs the cold air to different locations within the refrigerated space. As a preferred embodiment, the direct air vent can be located on the side wall of the covering film, with the ductwork directly connected to it. This allows cold air to enter the refrigerated space via two different paths, achieving a more uniform temperature distribution.

[0036] To address this issue, this technical solution solves the problem of uneven cold air distribution in existing technologies by incorporating two different types of air outlets. The direct air outlet rapidly lowers the temperature within the refrigerated space, while the guide air outlet delivers cold air to more distant areas, preventing localized overheating. Compared to existing technologies, this solution more effectively maintains the required storage temperature of 0℃-1℃ for apricots, while also being simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0037] Furthermore, this application also proposes that a partition be provided at the front end of the refrigerated space to form an anteroom, and that a zipper door be provided at the anteroom and the front end of the refrigerated space.

[0038] The partition can be made of flexible insulation material and connected to the covering film via zippers. The depth of the anteroom can be set to 50-100cm to buffer the temperature difference between the inside and outside. The zippered door has a double-layer structure, with waterproof zippers on the inner layer and insulation zippers on the outer layer. As a preferred embodiment, the partition can be designed as a detachable structure, connected to the arched frame via magnetic strips. The air duct can extend to the top of the anteroom to provide auxiliary air outlets, and drainage holes can be added to the bottom of the anteroom.

[0039] Specifically, this technical solution effectively solves the problem of cold air loss caused by frequent storage and retrieval by setting up a transitional anteroom at the front of the cold storage space. When the zipper door is opened, the anteroom forms a temperature buffer zone, preventing external hot air from directly intruding into the cold storage space. The partition uses flexible materials to easily adapt to the shape of the arched frame, and the double-layer structure of the zipper door improves operational convenience while ensuring airtightness. Compared with existing fixed cold storage, this design significantly improves insulation performance while maintaining ease of movement, making it particularly suitable for preservation scenarios such as apricots that require frequent sampling. The arrangement of air ducts extending into the anteroom further optimizes the uniformity of temperature distribution.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
