Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit ripening technology, specifically to a stepped ripening device for oranges with temperature and humidity zones. Background Technology

[0002] In the post-harvest processing and distribution of oranges, ripening is a key process that determines their market quality, shelf life, and market acceptance. As a typical climacteric fruit, oranges have strict requirements for temperature and humidity during the ripening process: excessively high temperatures can easily lead to soft and rotten flesh, sugar loss, and an increased risk of mold growth; excessively low temperatures can inhibit ethylene synthesis, delay the ripening process, and even cause chilling injury; insufficient humidity can cause the peel to lose water and shrink, affecting its appearance; excessively high humidity can create conditions for mold growth, leading to an increased rate of fruit rot. Therefore, effective temperature and humidity control is necessary when ripening oranges. Existing orange ripening devices mostly use a single temperature and humidity control system, meaning that only one temperature and humidity environment is maintained throughout the ripening space. Using this method to ripen oranges of different ripeness levels results in early-ripening fruit rotting and late-ripening fruit remaining unripe, greatly reducing ripening efficiency and yield. Secondly, the space utilization rate of ripening devices is low, with most adopting a planar stacking structure. The number of oranges stacked is limited, which not only occupies a lot of factory space but also leads to poor air circulation within the ripening space and uneven temperature and humidity distribution in local areas, further exacerbating the problem of different ripeness levels. To address these issues, we propose a stepped orange ripening device with temperature and humidity zones to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stepped ripening device for oranges with temperature and humidity zones to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

An arc-shaped groove corresponding to the driving slide rod is formed on the second bracket. The driving slide rod is slidably engaged in the corresponding arc-shaped groove.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example: Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an orange step ripening device with temperature and humidity partitions, including a first support 1 and a second support 2. There are two first supports 1 and two second supports 2. A first crossbeam 11 is fixedly installed between the two first supports 1 and a second crossbeam 21 is fixedly installed between the two second supports 2. A third crossbeam 3 is fixedly installed between the first supports 1 and the second supports 2. A ripening frame 4 is provided between the first support 1 and the second support 2. The ripening frame 4 has multiple vertically distributed components. Multiple evenly distributed transmission rollers 41 are rotatably installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the ripening frame 4. A temperature and humidity control module 42 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the ripening frame 4. A temperature and humidity monitoring probe 43 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the ripening frame 4. A box containing oranges of the same ripeness is placed in the corresponding ripening frame 4. The temperature and humidity control module 42 is used in conjunction with the temperature and humidity monitoring probe 43 to adjust the temperature and humidity in the corresponding ripening frame 4 to ripen the oranges. By setting multiple ripening frames 4, different temperature and humidity can be adjusted according to the different ripeness of oranges in each ripening frame 4 to carry out zoned and stepped ripening treatment of oranges of different ripeness, thereby improving the ripening efficiency and yield of oranges.

[0019] A rotating horizontal shaft 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the ripening frame 4. The rotating horizontal shaft 5 is rotatably installed on the first bracket 1. A driving mechanism 6 is provided at the end of the ripening frame 4 away from the rotating horizontal shaft 5. Two vertically adjacent driving mechanisms 6 are staggered.

[0020] The drive mechanism 6 includes a T-shaped slide block 61. The second bracket 2 has a longitudinal slide groove 611 corresponding to the T-shaped slide block 61. The T-shaped slide block 61 is slidably engaged in the corresponding longitudinal slide groove 611. A drive cross frame 62 is integrally formed on the side end of the T-shaped slide block 61. A cross slide groove 621 is formed in the middle of the drive cross frame 62. A drive slide rod 63 is slidably engaged in the cross slide groove 621. An arc-shaped groove 631 corresponding to the drive slide rod 63 is formed on the second bracket 2. The center of the arc-shaped groove 631 corresponds to the axis of the rotating horizontal axis 5. The drive slide rod 63 is slidably engaged in the corresponding arc-shaped groove 631. One end of the drive slide rod 63 is fixedly installed on the end of the ripening cross frame 4 away from the rotating horizontal axis 5. The drive mechanism 6 also includes a lifting cylinder 64. A cylinder seat 641 is fixedly installed on the outside of the lifting cylinder 64. The cylinder seat 641 is fixedly installed on the outside of the second bracket 2. The drive end of the lifting cylinder 64 and the bottom end of the corresponding T-shaped slide 61 are fixedly installed. When the oranges are fed, the lifting cylinder 64 is activated to drive the T-shaped slide 61 to move upward, thereby driving the drive frame 62 to move upward. The drive rod 63 slides in the horizontal slide groove 621 and the arc groove 631, thereby controlling the ripening frame 4 to rotate and tilt around the horizontal axis 5. This makes it convenient for the box containing the oranges to be lifted and lowered by the external automatic lifting platform. The oranges are then transferred to the other end of the ripening frame 4 by multiple transmission rollers 41 at one end of the ripening frame 4 for deeper feeding. After ripening, the oranges are unloaded. The lifting cylinder 64 is activated to drive the T-shaped slide block 61 to move down, thereby driving the drive frame 62 to move down. The drive rod 63 slides in the horizontal slide groove 621 and the arc groove 631, thereby controlling the ripening frame 4 to rotate and tilt downward about the horizontal axis 5. Multiple transmission rollers 41 rotate and transmit the ripening frame 4 to unload the oranges.

[0021] Working principle: When oranges are fed, the lifting cylinder 64 is activated to drive the T-shaped slide 61 to move upward, thereby driving the drive frame 62 to move upward. The drive rod 63 slides in the horizontal slide groove 621 and the arc groove 631, thereby controlling the ripening frame 4 to rotate and tilt around the horizontal axis 5, so that the box containing oranges can be lifted and lowered by the external automatic lifting platform. The oranges are then transferred to the other end of the ripening frame 4 by multiple transmission rollers 41 at one end, allowing for deeper feeding of oranges. Oranges of different ripeness are placed in the corresponding ripening frame 4 to perform a zoned, stepped ripening process, thereby improving the ripening efficiency and yield of oranges. After ripening, the oranges are unloaded. The lifting cylinder 64 is activated to drive the T-shaped slide block 61 to move down, which in turn drives the horizontal frame 62 to move down. The drive rod 63 slides in the horizontal slide groove 621 and the arc groove 631, thereby controlling the ripening horizontal frame 4 to rotate and tilt downward about the horizontal axis 5. In conjunction with the rotation of multiple transmission rollers 41, the ripening horizontal frame 4 is transported out to unload the oranges, which facilitates the tilting loading and unloading of oranges.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
