Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sand onion harvesting technology, and in particular relates to a transportation mechanism for sand onion harvesting. Background Technology
[0002] A refrigerated car with publication number CN113602184A is disclosed, specifically including a double-sided refrigerated container body and a railway container flatcar. The refrigerated container body is mounted on the railway container flatcar, and a refrigeration unit and a generator set are installed on the refrigerated container body. The refrigerated container body has a container frame, and the container frame is provided with a front end plate, a rear end plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, a bottom plate, and a top plate. Side doors are respectively provided on the first side plate and the second side plate, and side door frames for installing the side doors are provided in the middle of both sides of the container frame.
[0003] After harvesting, sand onions are transported in refrigerated trucks to cold storage for cooling, and then transported to sales terminals in major cities via cold chain logistics. Existing transportation methods for sand onion harvesting involve placing the onions inside refrigerated trucks. Because the onions are stacked, some cannot effectively receive cold air, hindering air circulation and causing the internal temperature of the onions to exceed the set value. High temperatures accelerate respiration and moisture loss, causing the onions to wilt, turn yellow, and even rot more quickly. To solve these problems, it is necessary to design a new transportation mechanism for sand onion harvesting. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a transportation mechanism for harvesting sand onions to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a transportation mechanism for harvesting sand onions includes multiple support plates installed inside a refrigerated truck compartment. Multiple storage mechanisms are arranged vertically and horizontally on the support plates. A guiding mechanism is installed inside the refrigerated truck compartment, and the guiding mechanism is connected to a cold air delivery pipe. Cold air is introduced into the storage mechanism through the guiding mechanism.
[0006] The storage mechanism includes a cylindrical body, which is fixedly mounted on a support plate and has an opening at one end. Multiple connecting shafts arranged in a circular array are rotatably mounted inside the cylindrical body. A memory is fixedly mounted at the end of each connecting shaft. One end of the memory is open and has multiple air inlet slots arranged in a circular array. Shallots are placed into the memory through the opening end of the cylindrical body. A drive wheel is fixedly mounted outside the memory. A side tube is fixedly mounted outside the cylindrical body and communicates with the inner cavity of the cylindrical body. A support plate is fixedly mounted inside the side tube. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the support plate. A central wheel is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft and meshes with multiple drive wheels. A servo motor is fixedly mounted outside the cylindrical body, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the connecting shaft.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the support plate is provided with multiple mounting holes, and the support plate is connected to the refrigerated compartment by screws.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a temperature measuring device is installed inside the cylinder.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the guiding mechanism includes a guiding pipe, which is fixedly installed inside the refrigerated compartment. One end of the guiding pipe is connected to a cold air delivery pipe, and multiple branch pipes distributed at equal intervals are connected to and fixedly installed on the guiding pipe. Each branch pipe is connected to a side pipe.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a flow detector is installed inside the conduit.
[0011] Compared with related technologies, the transportation mechanism for harvesting sand onions provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This transport mechanism places sand onions in a rotatable storage container equipped with air inlets. Cold air enters the cylinder through a conduit mechanism via branch pipes and side pipes, and then evenly enters the storage container from the air inlets, acting on the sand onions. Simultaneously, a servo motor drives the storage container to rotate, preventing the sand onions from sitting still and ensuring ample contact between the cold air and the onions. This effectively improves the cold air circulation, keeping the sand onions in a suitable low-temperature environment throughout the transport process, greatly reducing the risk of spoilage and ensuring the freshness and quality of the sand onions.
[0012] By installing a temperature measuring device inside the cylinder, the temperature of the environment within the storage container can be monitored in real time. Based on temperature changes, parameters such as the supply of cold air can be adjusted promptly to ensure the scallions are stored at the optimal temperature. Furthermore, a flow detector installed inside the conduit can detect the flow rate of cold air entering the conduit, facilitating precise control of the cold air supply. This precise monitoring and control of temperature and cold air flow rate is crucial. Attached Figure Description
