Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective mesh technology, and in particular to a protective mesh for transporting apples. Background Technology

[0002] An existing apple transport protection device uses corrugated cardboard honeycomb partitions, which have insufficient rigid cushioning: the cardboard deforms plastically under pressure, has poor environmental adaptability: its compressive strength decreases when humidity is high, and it cannot dynamically adapt: ​​fixed hole positions may cause protection failure when apples are mixed. The core technical problems of the plastic injection molded mesh pallet include: the one-piece molding structure leads to insufficient volume utilization when transporting empty, the ventilation holes are single, and there is no interlayer linkage shock absorption mechanism.

[0003] Traditional protective netting (such as foam netting, pearl cotton pads, etc.) has the following drawbacks: Limited cushioning capacity: The netting material is generally thin, resulting in poor cushioning against severe impacts or compression, especially during long-distance transportation where bumps can easily cause surface abrasions or internal damage to apples. Insufficient air permeability: The dense material hinders fruit respiration, and in high-temperature and high-humidity environments during transportation, it can easily induce localized rot or accelerate the spread of diseases. Cost and environmental issues: High packaging costs: The design of individual fruit packaging with multiple layers of partitions significantly increases logistics costs, especially since the large volume of foam materials reduces the loading capacity per box. Environmental pollution risk: Most plastic protective netting is non-biodegradable and has a low recycling rate, resulting in a large amount of waste packaging causing white pollution. User experience defects: Cumbersome disassembly: Consumers need to peel off the netting and partitions layer by layer, a time-consuming process that easily leaves debris. Risk of quality confusion: Opaque packaging obscures the true condition of the fruit, and some merchants may mix inferior fruit into the middle layer to pass it off as superior. Functional limitations: It cannot prevent the spread of diseases. If some fruits are already carrying pathogens (such as the pathogen of red and black spot disease) before transportation, the sealed packaging environment will accelerate cross-infection. It is not suitable for special fruit shapes: irregularly shaped or large fruits are easy to shift in the standard grid, thus losing its protective significance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an apple transport interlayer protective net.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: an apple transport interlayer protective net, comprising a storage mechanism, a mesh surface mechanism, and a column mechanism. The storage mechanism is located in the middle of the mesh surface mechanism and is surrounded by the mesh surface mechanism on all four sides. The mesh surface mechanism is located on both sides of the mesh surface of the column mechanism.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above solution, the storage mechanism includes a first storage net, a second storage net slidably connected above the first storage net, a first rotating shaft rotatably connected to the two ends of the second storage net, and the second storage net is disconnected in the middle. It can be folded and unfolded by rotating with the first rotating shafts rotatably connected to the two ends, realizing the conversion between single-layer storage and double-layer storage. Each mesh surface of the storage net has holes to increase air circulation.

[0007] With the above technical solution, when storing small fruits, the second storage net can be directly retracted or tilted at 30° to form a V-shaped groove to prevent small fruits from rolling. When storing large fruits, it can be fully unfolded to form a double-layer storage space. Even if large and small fruits are mixed, the tilt angle can be freely adjusted to maximize space utilization.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mesh mechanism includes a first mesh, the top end of the first mesh is rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft, and the top end of the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a second mesh.

[0009] The above technical solution allows the first and second mesh surfaces to be folded together by rotating the shaft, making it easier to load and unload apples. Alternatively, rotating a single mesh surface until the other mesh surface is reached allows the two mesh surfaces to be folded together, thus forming a double-layer protective net.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the first mesh surface and the second mesh surface can be folded and unfolded by rotating through the second rotating shaft connected in the middle, making it more convenient to load and unload apples, and the first mesh surface can be folded up to provide double protection on the sides when storing in a single layer.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, a partition plate is fixedly connected to the storage mechanism of the second rotating shaft, and a third rotating shaft is fixedly connected to both ends of the partition plate. A buckle is rotatably connected to the front top of the third rotating shaft.

[0012] The above technical solution can leave a transition space between the first mesh surface and the second mesh surface. The transition space can also increase air circulation, and the position of the partition can be fixed by the buckle.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the column mechanism includes a column, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to a base.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the column is telescopically connected to a sliding column in the mesh direction, and the sliding column is fixedly connected to an insertion rod in the body of the column. The insertion rod can be inserted into the grooved sliding column in the vertical direction.

[0015] The above technical solution enables the sliding column to move the third and fourth mesh surfaces freely up and down to adjust the position and method of protection. The third and fourth mesh surfaces can also overlap through the movement of the sliding column to achieve a double-layer protection effect.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the sliding post is fixedly connected to the third mesh surface in the direction of the mesh surface, and the sliding post is fixedly connected to the fourth mesh surface in the direction of the mesh surface. The third mesh surface and the fourth mesh surface can slide freely up and down through the sliding post, or the two mesh surfaces can be overlapped together to achieve the effect of double-layer protection.

[0017] The above technical solution allows for free adjustment of the protective position, single-layer protection, and double-layer protection. The structure with holes on each side effectively maintains ventilation and water flow.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention adjusts the protective position of the protective net by using a rotating shaft and holes on the net surface. A second storage net is slidably connected above the first storage net. The two ends of the second storage net are rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft. The second storage net is disconnected in the middle. By rotating with the first rotating shaft connected to the two ends, folding and unfolding can be completed, realizing the conversion between single-layer storage and double-layer storage, thereby solving the problem of poor environmental adaptability: the compressive strength decreases when the humidity is high, and it cannot dynamically adapt.

[0019] This invention addresses the issues of small fruit storage nets, which can be retracted or tilted at 30° to form a V-shaped groove to prevent small fruit from rolling when storing small fruit, and can be fully unfolded to form a double-layer storage space when storing large fruit. Even when fruit of different sizes is mixed, the tilt angle can be freely adjusted to maximize space utilization. This solves the problems of fixed hole positions causing protection failure when apples are mixed, and the issues of plastic injection molded mesh trays having insufficient volume utilization when transporting empty, single ventilation holes, and no interlayer linkage shock absorption mechanism.
