Description

Device for heat shock treatment of fruits and vegetables before storage by water and air
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fruit and vegetable storage and transportation devices, and mainly relates to a heat shock treatment device for fruits and vegetables.
Background
The fruit and vegetable yield of China is improved year by year, but on the other hand, due to the regionality and seasonality of the fruit and vegetable in various regions, a great amount of loss exists in the transportation, storage and sale processes of the picked fruit and vegetable. In order to reduce the loss of picked fruits and vegetables, people store the fruits and vegetables in a refrigeration house so as to prolong the storage period of the fruits and vegetables. However, cold damage occurs when cold-sensitive fruits and vegetables grown in tropical and subtropical zones are stored in a refrigerator for a long time. In order to avoid the phenomenon, the heat treatment is carried out before the harvested cold-sensitive fruits and vegetables are stored, so that the cold damage resistance of the fruits and vegetables can be improved, and the storage period of the fruits and vegetables can be prolonged. With the deep research on the cold damage resistance of the picked cold-sensitive fruits and vegetables, the requirements of people on the heat treatment mode of the picked fruits and vegetables are synchronously improved. The fruits and vegetables after being picked by the traditional hot air treatment often have excessive water loss, so that the weight loss rate of the fruits and vegetables is improved, and the quality of the fruits and vegetables is reduced; the traditional hot water spraying treatment is used for treating fruits and vegetables before storage, and the surfaces of the fruits and vegetables are wrapped with a layer of water film for a long time, so that the respiration of the fruits and vegetables is influenced. In addition, after the fruits and vegetables are treated by hot water spraying before storage, water drops on the surfaces of the fruits and vegetables need to be drained, and a large amount of manpower is consumed in the process. Nowadays, the relatively simple method is generally to air-dry fruits and vegetables, but the method gradually loses the heat absorbed by the fruits and vegetables because the water drops are evaporated in the air-drying process to absorb heat, and the heat is provided by the fruits and vegetables and is not paid.
Obviously, the defects of the existing device for treating the fruits and vegetables before storage by spraying hot water and the existing device for treating the fruits and vegetables before storage by hot air are urgently needed to be solved.
