Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box technology, and more specifically, to cushioning packaging for fruits and vegetables that facilitates transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Common fruit and vegetable packaging boxes are made of plastic, which allows for the separation of fruits and vegetables according to different types, making them convenient for sale.

[0003] However, most existing fruit and vegetable packaging boxes are the same size. During the packaging process, if some fruits and vegetables are placed inside with less or smaller volume, there will be more empty space inside the packaging box. When the packaging box is transported, the fruits and vegetables roll inside the packaging box and collide with the inner wall of the packaging box or with each other, causing damage to the fruits and vegetables.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide cushioning packaging for fruits and vegetables that is easy to transport.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: the convenient fruit and vegetable cushioning packaging includes a box body and a box lid detachably connected thereto. Limiting plates are rotatably connected to both inner walls of the box body. A pressing block that abuts against the movable end of the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the box lid. The rotation axis of the limiting plate is set at the midpoint of the height direction of the box body. Adjacent limiting plates rotate in a direction that brings them closer to each other. A push rod for pushing the limiting plate to rotate is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the box lid. A limiting groove that engages with the top surface of the limiting plate is opened on the inner top surface of the box lid. When the limiting plate engages with the limiting groove, the tilt angle of the limiting plate is minimal.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a rotating groove is provided on each of the two inner walls of the box body, the limiting plate is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the rotating groove, and the side of the limiting plate away from the outer peripheral wall of the box body is in the same plane as the inner wall of the box body.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the height of the limiting plate is greater than half the height of the box and less than half the length of the box.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a placement groove is provided on the bottom surface of the rotating groove, a water-absorbing sheet is fixedly connected to the placement groove, and the bottom surface of the limiting plate is placed on the water-absorbing sheet.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: an inclined surface is provided on the top surface of the limiting plate and on the side near the outer peripheral wall of the box, the distance between the inclined surface and the outer peripheral wall of the box gradually decreases along the height direction of the limiting plate, and a push block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the push rod and on the side near the limiting plate, which is slidably connected to the inclined surface.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of buffer pads are provided at intervals on the bottom surface of the limiting plate.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: When the box contains items, the two inclined limiting plates can reduce the movable space between the top surface of the items and the box lid. By reducing the range of movement of items within the box, the range of movement of items after the box shakes is reduced, thus preventing items from being damaged due to collision with the inner wall of the box during shaking. When there are few items in the box, the limiting plates can continue to rotate downwards until the buffer pad abuts against the items, further reducing the range of movement of items within the box. The condensate formed on the limiting plates will slide downwards along the inclined limiting plates and be absorbed by the absorbent plate, preventing the liquid from dripping onto the items again.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] This facilitates the transport of fruits and vegetables with cushioning packaging, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the box includes a box body 1 and a lid 2 detachably connected to it. Rotating grooves 7 are respectively provided on the two inner walls of the box body 1. Limiting plates 3 are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the rotating grooves 7. Both limiting plates 3 rotate in the direction of mutual approach. Therefore, when the box body 1 is filled with items, the limiting plates 3 can be rotated to reduce the empty space between the box body 1 and the lid 2, so that the items cannot move inside the box body 1 with the shaking of the box body 1 and collide with the inner wall of the box body 1 or the lid 2. When both limiting plates 3 are in an inclined state, the items are placed between the adjacent limiting plates 3. At this time, the space formed by the adjacent limiting plates 3 is small. Since the rotation axis of the limiting plate 3 is set at the midpoint of the height direction of the box body 1, it can be ensured that the part of the box body 1 below the limiting plate 3 can still hold enough items. The inclined limiting plates 3 can also reduce the height of the space where the items can move, ensuring the stable placement of the items in the box body 1.

[0017] The height of the limiting plate 3 is greater than half the height of the box body 1, allowing it to contact more items simultaneously after rotation, reducing the possibility of items slipping out through the air between adjacent limiting plates 3. However, the height of the limiting plate 3 is less than half the length of the box body 1, ensuring good restraint of items within the box body 1 while providing a ventilation channel between the moving sections of adjacent limiting plates 3. This ensures gas exchange between the inside and outside of the box body 1, mitigating spoilage of fruits and vegetables during transportation. The side of the limiting plate 3 away from the outer peripheral wall of the box body 1 is on the same horizontal plane as the inner wall of the box body 1, increasing the contact area between the outer peripheral wall of the limiting plate 3 and the inner wall of the rotating groove 7. The friction between the outer peripheral wall of the limiting plate 3 and the inner wall of the rotating groove 7 ensures the stable fixation of the limiting plate 3 within the rotating groove 7, allowing it to be vertical in its initial state. A placement groove 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the rotating groove 7 for placing... A water-absorbing sheet 9 is fixedly connected to the groove 8, and the limiting plate 3 is rotatably connected to the water-absorbing sheet 9. When fruits and vegetables are put into the box 1, as time goes by, condensation will form on the bottom surface of the limiting plate 3. At the same time, since the limiting plate 3 is in an inclined state, the condensation on the bottom surface of the limiting plate 3 will slide down the limiting plate 3 under its own gravity and be absorbed by the water-absorbing sheet 9, thus preventing the condensation from dripping onto the fruits and vegetables again. Buffer pads 11 with elastic deformation properties are provided at intervals on the bottom surface of the limiting plate 3. The buffer pads 11 are used to replace the limiting plate 3 in contact with the fruits and vegetables, thereby reducing the impact force generated when the fruits and vegetables collide with the buffer pads 11 and reducing the probability of the fruits and vegetables being damaged by the collision. Since the buffer pads 11 are provided at intervals, some condensation can still adhere to the limiting plate 3 and slide down the limiting plate 3, while the other part of the condensation on the buffer pads 11 will be absorbed by the buffer pads 11.

[0018] A push rod 5 for pushing the limiting plate 3 to rotate is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the lid 2. The length of the push rod 5 is greater than the height of the lid 2, so that the push rod 5 can push the limiting plate 3 to rotate before the lid 2 is closed, thus preventing the limiting plate 3 from being in a vertical state and obstructing the fixation between the lid 2 and the box body 1. An inclined surface is provided on the top surface of the limiting plate 3 and the side near the outer peripheral wall of the box body 1. The distance between the inclined surface and the outer peripheral wall of the box body 1 gradually decreases along the height of the limiting plate 3. A push block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the push rod 5 and the side near the limiting plate 3, and is slidably connected to the inclined surface. The side of the push block 10 near the limiting plate 3 is also set as an inclined surface. The distance between the inclined surface and the limiting plate 3 gradually increases along the height direction of the push rod 5. Therefore, as the overlapping area between the push rod 5 and the limiting plate increases, the push rod 5 can apply a pushing force to the limiting plate 3 under the action of the push block 10, so that the two limiting plates 3 can slide in a direction closer to each other, thereby restricting the fruits and vegetables in the box body 1.

[0019] A limiting groove 6 is provided on the inner top surface of the lid 2 to engage with the top surface of the limiting plate 3. The limiting groove 6 is located on both sides of the lid 2 along its length. When the lid 2 is fixed to the box body 1 and the limiting plate 3 is engaged in the limiting groove 6, the tilt angle of the limiting plate 3 is at its minimum. The limiting groove 6 is used to fix the limiting plate 3, preventing it from rotating as the box body 1 shakes. At this time, if the box body 1 contains a lot of fruits and vegetables, the tilted side wall of the limiting plate 3 can apply a certain pushing force to the fruits and vegetables located at the top of the box body 1, allowing them to move to the middle of the box body 1, further reducing the space available for the fruits and vegetables to move in the box body 1. If the box body 1 contains a small number of fruits and vegetables or a small volume, the rotation range of the limiting plate 3 can be increased, allowing it to abut against the top surface of the fruits and vegetables, thereby reducing the space available for the fruits and vegetables to move in the box body 1. Within the range of movement, a pressure block 4 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the lid 2, which abuts against the movable section of the limiting plate 3. The pressure block 4 is located between adjacent limiting grooves 6 and has elastic deformation properties. When the amount of fruits and vegetables in the box body 1 is small and the limiting plate 3 is not engaged with the limiting groove 6, and the lid 2 is fixed to the box body 1, the pressure block 4 will apply pressure to the movable ends of the two limiting plates 3 at the same time, so as to ensure the restriction of the limiting plates 3 during transportation. Since the height of the pressure block 4 is greater than the height of the lid 2 and the pressure block 4 has elastic deformation properties, when there are many fruits and vegetables in the box body 1, the pressure block 4 extends into the box body 1 and abuts against the fruits and vegetables. This not only prevents the fruits and vegetables from being damaged by pressure, but also reduces the empty space in the box body 1. The structural design further avoids the damage to the fruits and vegetables caused by shaking in the box body 1.

[0020] Working principle: When no fruits and vegetables are placed in the box 1, the limiting plate 3 is completely contained in the rotating groove 7 and is in a vertical state. When the box 1 is filled with fruits and vegetables and the lid 2 needs to be closed, the lid 2 will exert a pushing force on the limiting plate 3 through the push block 10 during the downward movement, causing it to rotate. If there are many fruits and vegetables in the box 1, the limiting plate 3 will not be able to rotate after rotating to abut against the fruits and vegetables on the top surface of the box 1. At this time, the top surface of the limiting plate 3 will engage with the limiting groove 6 to fix the limiting plate 3. If there are few fruits and vegetables in the box 1, the limiting plate 3 will continue to rotate downward until it abuts against the fruits and vegetables. At this time, because the rotation angle of the limiting plate 3 is too large, its top cannot extend into the limiting groove 6. After the lid 2 is fixed to the box 1, the pressing block 4 will abut against the top surface of the limiting plate 3 to fix the limiting plate 3 and prevent it from rotating with the shaking of the box 1.
