Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of banana ripening technology, and in particular to a ripening bin for facilitating the transportation of bananas. Background Technology
[0002] Bananas are a typical tropical fruit, usually harvested before they are fully ripe for transportation. To meet market demand, harvested bananas need to undergo ripening treatment to reach an edible state. The ripening process primarily relies on ethylene gas, a naturally produced plant hormone that promotes fruit ripening. Traditional banana ripening methods include natural ripening and artificial ripening. Natural ripening relies on environmental ethylene, but it is time-consuming and uncontrollable; artificial ripening accelerates ripening through the use of exogenous ethylene gas, but existing technologies have the following problems:
[0003] 1. Uneven ripening: The uneven distribution of ethylene gas in traditional ripening chambers leads to inconsistent ripening of bananas, affecting their quality.
[0004] 2. Inconvenient transportation: The existing ripening warehouse has a fixed structure, and the loading and unloading of banana storage boxes is difficult, which increases labor intensity and transportation costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a ripening chamber for bananas that is easy to transport, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and effectively solves the problems of uneven ripening and inconvenient transportation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A ripening chamber for banana ripening and facilitating banana transportation includes a chamber body, wherein symmetrically distributed transport racks are arranged inside the chamber body, and symmetrically distributed tracks are arranged on the inner wall of the bottom of the chamber body. The transport racks include a base disposed inside the chamber body, symmetrically distributed side racks welded to the outer wall of the top of the base, a crossbeam placed between the two side racks for placing banana storage boxes, and casters fixed to the outer wall of the bottom of the base by screws.
[0008] The bottom inner wall of the chamber is equipped with a banana ripening mechanism, which includes a servo motor fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the chamber by screws, a main shaft fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor by a coupling, a vertical tube installed on the outer wall of the main shaft, and a horizontal tube welded to the outer wall of one side of the vertical tube. The horizontal tube and the crossbar correspond one-to-one. The banana ripening mechanism also includes nozzles installed on the outer walls of both sides of the horizontal tube, an ethylene generator placed on the bottom inner wall of the chamber, and an air inlet pipe fixedly connected between the ethylene generator and the vertical tube.
[0009] Preferably, the omnidirectional wheel is slidably connected to the inner wall of the track.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the side frame is provided with equally spaced pads, and the crossbeam is placed between two pads on opposite sides.
[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the side frame is welded with diagonally distributed diagonal bars.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom inner wall of the silo is fixedly connected to a bearing seat by screws, and the main shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bearing seat.
[0013] Preferably, a temperature and humidity sensor and an air conditioner are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the silo body by screws, and the temperature and humidity sensor and the air conditioner are connected by a signal line.
[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the top of the silo is equipped with symmetrically distributed lighting lamps.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. The banana ripening chamber designed in this paper is designed to facilitate the transportation of bananas. The transport frame consists of a base, side frames, crossbeams and casters. The casters are slidably connected to the track, which makes it easy to push the banana storage box into or pull it out of the chamber, greatly reducing the labor intensity of loading and unloading.
[0017] 2. The banana ripening chamber designed in this paper facilitates the transportation of bananas. The ethylene generator is connected to the air inlet pipe, which shortens the gas delivery path and reduces waste. In addition, the servo motor drives the main shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the vertical and horizontal pipes to rotate, so that the nozzles spray ethylene gas evenly and ensure that each layer of bananas ripens uniformly.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Example 1, refer to Figure 4 A ripening chamber for bananas, designed for easy transport, includes a chamber body 1. The chamber body 1 has symmetrically distributed transport racks 2 inside, and symmetrically distributed tracks 3 on the bottom inner wall of the chamber body 1. The transport racks 2 include a base 21 disposed inside the chamber body 1, symmetrically distributed side racks 22 welded to the top outer wall of the base 21, a crossbeam 23 placed between the two side racks 22 for placing banana storage boxes, and casters 24 fixed to the bottom outer wall of the base 21 by screws. The casters 24 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the tracks 3.
[0026] In this embodiment, the base 21 of the transport frame 2 is embedded in the track 3 via casters 24. The track 3 has a groove structure, which restricts the movement direction of the casters 24, ensuring that the transport frame 2 moves in and out of the storage compartment 1 in a straight line. During loading and unloading, workers only need to push the transport frame 2, and the banana storage boxes on the crossbeam 23 will move with the frame. The two ends of the crossbeam 23 are placed on the pads 5 to prevent slippage. The diagonal brace 6 is welded to the inner side of the side frame 22 to enhance overall stability and prevent the side frame 22 from deforming under load.
[0027] Example 2, refer to Figure 5 A ripening chamber for facilitating banana transportation is disclosed. The bottom inner wall of the chamber 1 is provided with a banana ripening mechanism 4. The banana ripening mechanism 4 includes a servo motor 41 fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the chamber 1 by screws, a main shaft 42 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 41 by a coupling, a vertical tube 43 installed on the outer wall of the main shaft 42, and a horizontal tube 44 welded to one side of the outer wall of the vertical tube 43. The horizontal tube 44 corresponds one-to-one with the crossbeam 23. The banana ripening mechanism 4 also includes nozzles 45 installed on the outer walls of both sides of the horizontal tube 44, an ethylene generator 47 placed on the bottom inner wall of the chamber 1, and an air inlet pipe 46 fixedly connected between the ethylene generator 47 and the vertical tube 43.
[0028] In this embodiment, after the servo motor 41 is started, the main shaft 42 drives the vertical tube 43 to rotate via a coupling, and the horizontal tube 44 rotates synchronously with the vertical tube 43. The gas generated by the ethylene generator 47 is input into the vertical tube 43 through the air inlet pipe 46 and is evenly sprayed out through the nozzles 45 on both sides of the horizontal tube 44. The distribution of the nozzles 45 corresponds to the position of the crossarm 23, ensuring that each layer of bananas can come into contact with the ethylene gas.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 The inner wall of the side frame 22 is provided with equally spaced pads 5, and the crossbeam 23 is placed between two pads 5 on the opposite side. The inner wall of the side frame 22 is welded with diagonally distributed diagonal bars 6.
[0030] Reference Figure 5 The bottom inner wall of the chamber 1 is fixedly connected to a bearing seat 7 by screws, and the main shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bearing seat 7.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-2 A temperature and humidity sensor 8 and an air conditioner 9 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the chamber 1 by screws, and the temperature and humidity sensor 8 and the air conditioner 9 are connected by a signal line. Symmetrically distributed lighting lamps 10 are installed on the inner wall of the top of the chamber 1.
[0032] Temperature and humidity sensors 8 are installed on the inner wall of the chamber 1 to monitor data in real time and transmit it to the air conditioner 9. If the humidity exceeds the standard, the air conditioner 9 will activate the dehumidification mode; if the temperature is insufficient, it will heat up. Lights 10 are symmetrically installed on the top of the chamber to provide lighting for operation.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] 1. Loading stage: Place the storage box containing green bananas on the crossbeam 23, push the transport frame 2 along the track 3 into the warehouse 1, and close the warehouse door.
[0035] 2. Environmental control: Temperature and humidity sensor 8 detects initial data, and air conditioner 9 automatically adjusts to preset values, such as temperature 18-22℃ and humidity 85-90%.
[0036] 3. Ripening stage: Ethylene generator 47 is started, gas enters vertical pipe 43 through air inlet pipe 46, and ethylene is sprayed by nozzle 45 for 6-24 hours depending on the ripening requirements.
[0037] 4. Unloading stage: Pull out transport rack 2, unload the ripened bananas, and clean the container 1 for future use.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto.
