Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigar tobacco transport equipment, and more particularly to a suspended cigar tobacco transport basket. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The transportation of cigar tobacco leaves from harvesting to processing requires extremely high levels of protection, as the effectiveness of this protection directly impacts the quality and economic value of the tobacco leaves during subsequent processing. Traditional transport baskets are mostly single baskets or bamboo baskets, with the tobacco leaves placed directly inside. During transportation, the bumps and jolting of the vehicle cause frequent collisions and friction between the tobacco leaves and the basket walls and bottom, easily resulting in damage and wrinkles, severely affecting the quality of subsequent processing.

[0004] While some existing improved transport baskets have added linings, these linings often come into contact with the basket body or are not securely fixed. During transport and movement, direct contact between the tobacco leaves and the basket body cannot be completely avoided, resulting in very limited protective effects. With the continuous development of the cigar industry, the demand for high-quality tobacco leaf transport equipment is becoming increasingly urgent. There is a pressing need for a transport basket that can fundamentally reduce collisions between the tobacco leaves and the basket body during transport, thus better protecting the cigar tobacco leaves. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, and in response to the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a suspended cigar tobacco transport basket.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application to solve the problems existing in the prior art is: This application proposes a suspended cigar tobacco transport basket, comprising several individual baskets; each basket includes a basket bottom, and a basket edge is provided around the upper part of the basket bottom, and each individual basket is provided with a cotton bag; The basket has hooks on the side; the cotton bag has hooks that work with the hooks.

[0007] Preferably, Each basket has a hook on its side, located at the top center of the basket side.

[0008] Preferably, Cotton bags are used to hold cigar tobacco leaves; When the hook on the cotton bag is placed into the corresponding hook, the cigar tobacco leaves in the cotton bag are suspended in the basket.

[0009] Preferably, The single basket is fixedly equipped with support legs on all four sides; the top of the support legs has a connecting hole; and the bottom of the support legs has a connecting part.

[0010] Preferably, The hook includes a hook base fixed to the side of the basket, with a movable cavity formed in the middle of the hook base, and a hook tongue that slides up and down inside the movable cavity; The movable cavity is equipped with guide posts, and the two ends of the guide posts are fixedly connected to the hook seats; The hook tongue is provided with a sliding hole that is slidably connected to the guide post; A compression spring is fixedly installed between the bottom of the hook tongue and the hook seat; The hook body is provided on the outside of the hook seat, and the hook body is curved upward in an arc shape to cooperate with the hook tongue; A reversing cavity is formed between the hook tongue and the hook body.

[0011] Preferably, The hook and loop are fixedly connected to the adhesive plate; the adhesive plate is attached to the cotton bag.

[0012] Preferably, When the hook on the cotton bag is placed into the corresponding hook, the hook 17 is located in the reversing cavity.

[0013] Preferably, The hook is attached to the edge of the basket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: 1. This application, through the suspension design of the tobacco bag and the cushioning protection of the sponge layer on the side of the basket, structurally avoids direct collision and friction between the tobacco leaves and the basket body during transportation and shaking, reducing the tobacco leaf breakage rate to below 2%, and significantly protecting the integrity and quality of the cigar tobacco leaves.

[0015] 2. The single basket 1, made of high-strength HDPE material, has excellent toughness and impact resistance, which improves the utilization rate of transportation space and increases the transportation volume per vehicle by more than 30%.

[0016] 3. The tobacco bags are made of 80-count combed cotton fabric, which is breathable and reduces the risk of tobacco leaves deteriorating due to heat during transportation. Both the bags and the single baskets are reusable, which is in line with the concept of environmental protection and reduces the cost of use.

[0017] 4. The overall structure is simple and practical, the materials are readily available, the production cost is low, it is easy to mass-produce and promote its use, and it is easy to operate. No professional skills are required to complete the loading and transportation of tobacco leaves.

[0018] 5. The system adopts a suspended tobacco protection technology and innovatively designs a suspended structure between the tobacco bag and the single basket 1. By fixing it with an elastic rope, a 5cm suspension space is maintained between the bottom of the cotton bag and the bottom of the basket, which fundamentally avoids the collision between the tobacco leaves and the bottom of the basket during transportation bumps. This solves the problem of easy damage to tobacco leaves in traditional transportation baskets, and achieves synergistic optimization of suspension stability and protection.

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a suspended cigar tobacco transport basket, comprising several single baskets 1; each single basket 1 includes a basket bottom 10, and basket edges 11 are provided around the top of the basket bottom 10, and each single basket 1 is provided with a cotton bag. The basket edge 11 is provided with a hook 15; the cotton bag is provided with a hook 17 that cooperates with the hook 15.

[0026] Each basket edge 11 is provided with a hook 15, which is located at the top center of the basket edge 11.

[0027] Among them: cotton bags are used to hold cigar tobacco leaves; When the hook 17 on the cotton bag is placed into the corresponding hook 15, the cigar tobacco leaves in the cotton bag are suspended in the single basket 1.

[0028] In some embodiments, the single basket 1 is fixedly provided with support legs 12 around its perimeter; the top of the support legs 12 is provided with a connecting hole 13; and the bottom of the support legs 12 is provided with a connecting part 14.

[0029] The hook 15 includes a hook seat 150 fixedly mounted on the edge 11 of the basket. A movable cavity 154 is formed in the middle of the hook seat 150. A hook tongue 152 is slidably mounted inside the movable cavity 154. A guide post 155 is provided inside the movable cavity 154. The two ends of the guide post 155 are fixedly connected to the hook seat 150. A sliding hole is provided on the hook tongue 152, which is slidably connected to the guide post 155. A compression spring 156 is fixedly mounted between the bottom of the hook tongue 152 and the hook seat 150. A hook body 151 is provided on the outside of the hook seat 150. The hook body 151 is curved upwards in an arc shape and is configured to cooperate with the hook tongue 152. A reversing cavity 153 is formed between the hook tongue 152 and the hook body 151.

[0030] The hook 17 is fixedly connected to the adhesive plate 16; the adhesive plate 16 is attached to the cotton bag. When the hook 17 on the cotton bag is placed onto the corresponding hook 15, the hook 17 is located in the reversing cavity 153. The hook seat 150 is attached to the edge of the basket 11.

[0031] This application aims to provide a suspended cigar tobacco transport basket. Through systematic structural design and material selection, the cotton bag containing the tobacco forms a stable suspended state, minimizing the collision between the tobacco leaves and the basket edge 11 during transport, thereby avoiding damage to the tobacco leaves and ensuring the quality of the tobacco leaves during transportation.

[0032] Main support system: A single basket 1 is made of high-strength polyethylene material, serving as the main support structure of the transport basket. HDPE material has excellent toughness, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance, and can be reused ≥50 times. The single basket 1 is a cuboid structure with an open top, measuring 60cm in length × 40cm in width × 30cm in depth, with hooks 15 evenly distributed along the edges for securing cotton bags; Anti-pressure support system: Hook 15 is made of 304 stainless steel and is installed vertically at the four corners of single basket 1. When multiple transport baskets are stacked, it can effectively support the weight of the upper basket and prevent the upper basket from directly pressing the tobacco leaves in the lower basket.

[0033] Suspended tobacco loading system: The tobacco bag is made of 80-count combed cotton fabric, which is soft and breathable. Its dimensions are 50cm long × 30cm wide × 25cm deep, one size smaller than the single basket 1. The cotton bag is equipped with hooks 17 to fix and suspend the cotton bag inside the single basket 1, and the lower part of the cotton bag maintains a 5cm suspension space with the bottom of the single basket 1, thus forming a suspended state.

[0034] When transporting cigar tobacco leaves, the harvested leaves are placed in a cotton bag and secured to the upper edge of a single basket 1 using hooks 17. This suspends the bag inside the basket 1, ensuring its lower part does not contact the bottom, creating a stable suspended space. During transport, when the vehicle bumps or shakes, the bag will sway slightly due to inertia. Because it is suspended and its lower part does not contact the basket bottom, direct collisions and friction between the tobacco leaves and the basket are greatly reduced. Through the coordinated operation of these structures, effective protection of the cigar tobacco leaves is achieved during transport.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 Press the hook ring 17 down onto the hook tongue 152 until it slides into the reversing cavity 153 near the inside of the hook body 151. To remove it, move the hook ring 17 in the opposite direction, moving it upwards along the inside of the hook body 151. Since the outer side of the hook tongue 152 is arc-shaped, and the inner diameter of the arc is smaller than the inner diameter of the arc on the inside of the hook body 151, the hook tongue 152 moves downwards as the hook ring 17 moves upwards, allowing the hook ring 17 to be removed. Alternatively, you can manually press the hook tongue 152 downwards to remove the hook ring 17 in the same way.

[0036] This application, through the synergistic innovation of the main support system, the anti-pressure support system, the suspended tobacco loading system, and the buffer protection system, has formed a set of efficient and stable technical solutions for the protection of cigar tobacco transportation equipment. It breaks through the technical limitations of the poor protection effect of traditional transportation baskets and has outstanding substantive features and significant progress.

[0037] The materials and production processes used in this application are highly mature and easy to implement: the HDPE injection molding, stainless steel processing, and cotton fabric sewing processes involved in the invention are all mature industrial technologies with no technical bottlenecks, allowing for direct large-scale production and ensuring product quality stability. There is urgent market demand: the problem of tobacco leaf damage during transportation addressed by this application is a common pain point in the industry, with high market acceptance and application scenarios covering various transportation links such as cigar tobacco planting bases and processing enterprises. The operational threshold is low: no professional skills training is required for equipment operation; growers and transportation personnel can master the equipment with simple guidance, adapting to the skill levels of various users and facilitating rapid promotion and application in various tobacco leaf transportation areas.

[0038] This will significantly reduce tobacco leaf loss during transportation, improve resource utilization efficiency, and promote the development of the cigar tobacco industry towards refinement and high quality. It will also reduce economic losses caused by tobacco leaf damage, increase the income of growers and enterprises, and promote the stable development of the industry. Furthermore, it will drive technological upgrades in the cigar tobacco transportation process, set industry benchmarks for transportation equipment innovation, and stimulate technological progress in related supporting industries.
