Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable transportation technology, and in particular to a fruit and vegetable turnover basket with a flip-top structure. Background Technology

[0002] During the handling of fruits and vegetables, as perishable and easily damaged commodities, they are highly susceptible to physical damage due to squeezing, collisions, or unstable stacking in the complex supply chain, directly leading to a decrease in commodity value. A type of fruit and vegetable turnover crate with a flip-top structure is typically used. Through comprehensive protection and quality maintenance, the flip-top and crate body form a sturdy, sealed space after closing, effectively resisting external impacts and pressures and preventing fruits and vegetables from being crushed during transportation.

[0003] When in use, workers will neatly stack the fruits and vegetables inside the basket. After it is full, the lid will be closed. Usually, there is a buckle or locking structure between the lid and the basket. By forcefully fastening it, it can be firmly locked to form a standard, sealed transport unit.

[0004] Considering that existing fruit and vegetable turnover crates mostly use fixed connection methods for the crate body and the flip-top, such as one-piece molding, welding, or simple snap-fit ​​structures that cannot be disassembled or replaced, when one part of the crate body or the flip-top fails due to external force damage, aging, or other reasons, users often need to replace the entire turnover crate. This approach discards undamaged parts, resulting in serious resource waste, and the overall replacement method significantly increases the user's maintenance costs. For scenarios where turnover crates are used extensively, such as fruit and vegetable transportation and warehousing, the economic burden is particularly prominent. Therefore, a fruit and vegetable turnover crate with a flip-top structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable turnover basket with a flip-top structure, which aims to solve the problem that in the existing technology, the basket body and flip-top are mostly fixedly connected, such as integral molding, welding or non-separable buckles. When a single part of the basket body or flip-top is damaged, the whole basket needs to be replaced. This not only wastes resources by discarding undamaged parts, but also greatly increases the user's maintenance costs. The economic burden is particularly prominent in many usage scenarios such as fruit and vegetable transportation and storage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fruit and vegetable turnover basket with a flip-top structure, comprising a turnover basket, wherein a flip-top is connected to the top of the outer surface of the turnover basket, and a replacement component is provided on the top of the inner surface of the turnover basket.

[0007] The replacement component includes a replacement part, the outer surface of which is inserted into the top of the inner surface of the turnover basket, and a wedge is elastically connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the replacement part by a spring, the outer surface of which is engaged with the top of the inner surface of the turnover basket.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The top of the inner surface of the replacement part is rotatably connected to a hinge shaft, and the left side of the outer surface of the hinge shaft is fixedly connected to an internal hexagon nut. The outer surface of the internal hexagon nut is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the replacement part.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The outer surface of the hinge shaft passes through and is rotatably connected to the rear part of the inner surface of the flip cover, and the rear part of the outer surface of the flip cover is rotatably connected to the top part of the inner surface of the replacement part.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A snap-fit ​​component is fixedly connected to the front of the outer surface of the flip cover, and a snap-fit ​​groove is opened on the top of the outer surface of the turnover basket. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​component is inserted into and snapped into the inner surface of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The bottom of the outer surface of the wedge is set as an inclined surface, and there are two sets of the wedges, which are stacked and distributed on the left and right sides of the replacement part.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the wedge, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the replacement part.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The snap-fit ​​components and snap-fit ​​slots are provided in three sets, which are evenly distributed on the front of the outer surface of the flip cover and the top of the turnover basket.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, by combining the design of replacing components, hinge shaft and internal hex nut, the flip cover and turnover basket can be disassembled and replaced separately. When one part is damaged, there is no need to replace the whole thing, which greatly reduces maintenance costs.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the components can be separated by simply squeezing the snap-fit ​​parts and wedges during disassembly; during installation, the wedges and springs can be used to quickly snap and fix the components together, making the operation process simple and greatly improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figures 3-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a fruit and vegetable turnover basket with a flip-top structure, comprising a turnover basket 1, which is the main structure for carrying fruits and vegetables and providing storage space for them. Its grid design facilitates ventilation and breathability of the fruits and vegetables, preventing them from spoiling due to heat. A flip-top 2 is connected to the top of the outer surface of the turnover basket 1, which is used to cover and protect the fruits and vegetables inside the turnover basket 1 to prevent them from falling during transportation. A replacement component 4 is provided on the top of the inner surface of the turnover basket 1; the replacement component 4 includes a replacement part 40. 1. Replacement component 401 is an intermediate component connecting the flip cover 2 and the turnover basket 1, providing a structural basis for the rotation and disassembly of the flip cover 2. The outer surface of replacement component 401 is inserted into the top of the inner surface of the turnover basket 1. The bottom of the inner surface of replacement component 401 is elastically connected to a wedge block 402 by a spring 403. The outer surface of the wedge block 402 is engaged with the top of the inner surface of the turnover basket 1. The wedge block 402, together with the spring 403, achieves the engagement and fixation between replacement component 401 and turnover basket 1. Its inclined surface design facilitates the insertion and installation of replacement component 401.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-3 A hinge shaft 5 is rotatably connected through the top of the inner surface of the replacement part 401. The hinge shaft 5 is used to realize the rotatable connection between the flip cover 2 and the replacement part 401, so that the flip cover 2 can rotate around it to open and close. An internal hex nut 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer surface of the hinge shaft 5. The internal hex nut 6 is used to thread the hinge shaft 5 and the replacement part 401, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the hinge shaft 5, thereby realizing the replacement of the flip cover 2. The outer surface of the internal hex nut 6 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the replacement part 401. The outer surface of the hinge shaft 5 is rotatably connected through the rear part of the inner surface of the flip cover 2. The rear part of the outer surface of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner surface of the replacement part 401.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-2 , Figure 5 A snap-fit ​​piece 3 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer surface of the flip cover 2. The snap-fit ​​piece 3 is used to snap and fix the front of the flip cover 2 to the turnover basket 1, so that the flip cover 2 remains stable when closed and prevents it from opening accidentally. A snap-fit ​​groove 7 is provided on the top of the outer surface of the turnover basket 1. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​piece 3 is inserted into and snapped into the inner surface of the snap-fit ​​groove 7. The snap-fit ​​groove 7 is a structure that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​piece 3, providing space for the snap-fit ​​piece 3 to be inserted and snapped.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-2 , Figure 4The bottom of the outer surface of the wedge 402 is set as an inclined surface. The inclined surface design allows the wedge 402 to be squeezed and contracted when the replacement part 401 is inserted into the turnover basket 1, which facilitates installation. There are two sets of wedges 402, which are stacked and distributed on the left and right sides of the replacement part 401. The two sets of symmetrically distributed wedges 402 make the engagement between the replacement part 401 and the turnover basket 1 more stable and the force is even. One end of the spring 403 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the wedge 402, and the other end of the spring 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the replacement part 401. The spring 403 provides elastic restoring force for the wedge 402, so that the wedge 402 can pop out and engage after being installed in place. There are three sets of engaging parts 3 and engaging grooves 7, which are evenly distributed on the front of the outer surface of the flip cover 2 and the top of the turnover basket 1, respectively. The three sets of evenly distributed engaging parts 3 and engaging grooves 7 make the engagement at the front of the flip cover 2 more stable and ensure the stability of the flip cover 2 when closed.

[0035] Working principle: When the turnover basket 1 is damaged by external force, but the flip cover 2 is not damaged, and it is necessary to disassemble the two, first press the snap fastener 3 inward to release the fixation between the front of the flip cover 2 and the top of the turnover basket 1 through the snap fastener 3. Then, press the wedge 402 at the bottom of the replacement part 401 inward at the same time to release the snap fastener between the replacement part 401 and the top of the turnover basket 1 through the wedge 402. Then, push the flip cover 2 upward to remove the flip cover 2 and the replacement part 401 from the turnover basket 1 at the same time.

[0036] When installing the replaced flip cover 2 and replacement part 401 onto the new turnover basket 1, simply insert the replacement part 401 into the designated insertion position on the top of the turnover basket 1. The wedge 402 at the bottom of the replacement part 401 will retract inward due to the sloped design of its bottom surface against the inner wall of the turnover basket 1. When the replacement part 401 is inserted into the designated position, the wedge 402 will immediately pop outward due to the elastic restoring force of the spring 403 and engage with the inside of the turnover basket 1, thus completing the splicing of the flip cover 2 and the turnover basket 1.

[0037] When the flip cover 2 is damaged and needs to be replaced, first remove the replacement part 401 according to the above operation. Then, use a hex wrench to insert into the internal hex nut 6 to unscrew the hinge shaft 5, thereby disconnecting the replacement part 401 from the flip cover 2. Then, align the rear of the new flip cover 2 with the top of the replacement part 401, and connect the two components by passing the hinge shaft 5 through both the top of the replacement part 401 and the rear of the flip cover 2. Finally, tighten the hinge shaft 5 to the replacement part 401 through the internal hex nut 6 to complete the replacement of the flip cover 2.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
