Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid food processing technology, and in particular to a transport basket for holding solid food. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of solid food processing, the production process involves several key steps, among which sterilization and subsequent transfer packaging are particularly important. Currently, most existing solid food transport baskets are fixed structures. The drawbacks of this fixed structure become apparent when transferring solid food to aseptic packaging after sterilization. The entire basket must be flipped over to empty the solid food and transfer it into the packaging. This process makes the transfer extremely cumbersome and carries the risk of food popping out of the packaging, severely hindering the advancement of production automation. Furthermore, the original placement of the solid food is completely disrupted during the basket flipping process. This not only greatly increases the difficulty of accurately pouring the solid food into the packaging but also hinders the full utilization of packaging space, directly reducing the space ratio between the solid food and the overall packaging, resulting in waste of packaging materials and increased transportation and storage costs. Therefore, a new type of solid food transport basket is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned problems of existing transport baskets. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to solve the above problems, this embodiment discloses a transport basket for holding solid food, including a basket body 10, a top cover 20 and a pair of baffles 30. The basket body 10 is provided with sliding grooves 11 on both sides, and the sliding grooves 11 penetrate through the top of the basket body 10. The top cover 20 is disposed inside the basket body 10 and its two ends are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 11. The pair of baffles 30 are disposed in the lower end of the basket body 10 and are respectively located on both sides of the lower end of the basket body 10. One side of the baffles 30 is hinged to the basket body 10 by a plurality of elastic hinges 40. The basket body 10 is provided with a plurality of mating grooves 12 that are mated with the plurality of elastic hinges 40. The plurality of elastic hinges 40 are respectively located in the plurality of mating grooves 12.

[0029] The basket body 10 has a drive structure 50 on both sides. Each drive structure 50 includes a first rotating rod 51, a second rotating rod 52 and a T-shaped slider 53. The upper ends of the first rotating rod 51 and the second rotating rod 52 are rotatably connected to the T-shaped slider 53, and the lower ends of the first rotating rod 51 and the second rotating rod 52 are rotatably connected to a pair of baffles 30.

[0030] The T-shaped slider 53 is located in the sliding groove 11 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 11. The two ends of the top cover 20 are detachably connected to the T-shaped slider 53 in a pair of drive structures 50 respectively.

[0031] The top cover 20 can be removed to place food. When it moves downward under the pressure of the unloading mechanism, the drive mechanism 50 will cause the baffle 30 to open downward. This allows the food inside to be transferred downward into the packaging container below. The downward-moving top cover 20 also helps to push the food, preventing it from sticking to the basket.

[0032] In use, when solid food is undergoing sterilization and transportation, the top cover 20 can be opened to fill the food, and a pair of baffles 30 close, allowing the solid food to be placed inside the basket body 10 for sterilization and transportation. After sterilization, the transport basket is positioned directly above the packaged goods, and then the unloading mechanism presses down on the top cover 20, causing it to press down on a pair of drive structures 50. This causes the T-shaped slider 53 in the drive structures 50 to slide downwards, while the first rotating rod 51 and the second rotating rod 52 rotate, opening the pair of baffles 30 and allowing the solid food to quickly fall into the packaged goods. This solves the problem that current solid food transport baskets require flipping and unloading, resulting in complex and unstable transfer actions that hinder automation. Furthermore, since this invention eliminates the need for flipping and unloading, it also addresses the issue of disordered solid food placement, which affects packaging convenience and space utilization.

[0033] As a further preferred embodiment, the number of flexible hinges 40 is one pair, with one end of the flexible hinge 40 fixedly connected to the baffle 30 and the other end fixedly connected to the basket body 10.

[0034] The flexible hinge 40 can be any existing flexible hinge that can achieve the functions of this utility model. Using the flexible hinge 40 allows the baffle 30 to withstand a certain weight of solid food, and also allows the baffle 30 to automatically return to its original position after being opened.

[0035] To facilitate the sliding connection between the top cover 20 and the basket body 10, and to facilitate the top cover 20 to perform work on the drive structure 50, this embodiment is modified based on the above embodiment. The difference from the above embodiment is that the top cover 20 includes a cover body 21 and a sliding rod 22. The sliding rod 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover body 21, and both ends of the sliding rod 22 extend into the sliding groove 11 and are slidably connected to the sliding groove 11.

[0036] The top cover 20 is configured as a cover body 21 and a sliding rod 22. The cover body 21 can contact the solid food, thereby pressing down the solid food. The sliding rod 22 can contact the T-shaped slider 53 in the drive structure 50, which facilitates pressing down the drive structure 50.
