Description

  The present invention relates to a holding member that can hold vegetables and fruits such as strawberries and tomatoes without contacting each other.

  Fruits such as strawberries and cherries are vulnerable to slight impacts and are easily damaged. Therefore, when the strawberry is stacked and stored in the container, the strawberry comes into contact with the container or the strawberry comes into contact with each other, so that the strawberry is quickly damaged. Therefore, it is suitable for maintaining the freshness of the strawberry while preventing the strawberry from being damaged by increasing its shape retention and protection when transporting or storing the strawberry, and also when it is displayed at the storefront. Various containers that can increase the commercial value of strawberries have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 to 4).

  For example, in Patent Document 2, a box-shaped container made of a synthetic resin foam and having an upper surface opened and a through-hole formed in the bottom part, for example, a ridge having a trapezoidal cross section is continuously formed on the inner bottom surface of the container. Propose to form. According to Patent Document 2, the inventor has empirically found that the ridges having a substantially trapezoidal cross section are most difficult to damage the strawberry stored in the container. Patent Document 2 states that the strawberry is unlikely to be damaged by the fact that its own weight is dispersed on a small contact surface and there is sufficient frictional force to lock the strawberry on the bottom surface.

JP-A-8-282757 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-222282 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-314982 JP 2005-153934 A

However, the containers proposed so far, including Patent Documents 1 to 4, have strawberry in contact with the bottom and side surfaces of the container and strawberry in contact with each other. Therefore, although the damage has been reduced, there has been a technical problem that the occurrence of the damage due to contact cannot be avoided.
The present invention has been made in view of such technical problems, and a holding member capable of transporting and displaying plants such as fruits, vegetables, and flowers while avoiding contact with containers and mutual contact. The purpose is to provide.

The present inventor has focused on the fact that if the strawberry is suspended while holding the stem, the strawberry can avoid contact with the container and strawberry. Therefore, a slit was formed in a thin metal plate, and a strawberry stalk was pushed into the slit. Then, the strawberry can be hung while holding the stem, but the outer periphery of the stem is damaged, and the commercial value of the strawberry is lowered. To the extent that the stem was pushed into the slit so as not to damage the outer periphery of the stem, the stem could not be stably held, and the strawberry might fall.
Therefore, the present inventors examined the formation of a slit in the elastic body, and inserting and holding a strawberry stalk in the slit. It was found that it can be retained.

The holding member of the present invention is based on the above knowledge, and is a holding member that holds a plant stem and suspends a plant, and is arranged adjacent to each other, each of which is made of an elastic body. A sandwiching piece and a second sandwiching piece are provided, the stem is sandwiched between the first sandwiching piece and the second sandwiching piece, and the fruit or vegetable is suspended.
The plant in this invention has the concept containing a fruit, a vegetable, and a flower. In addition, the stem is generally a part that supports useful parts such as fruits, leaves, or flowers, and has a mechanism for transporting moisture and nutrients absorbed from the root to various parts of the plant. However, the invention of the present application broadly encompasses those corresponding to stems regardless of specific names.

  In the holding member of the present invention, when the side on which the plant is suspended is the lower side, a support is installed below the first holding piece and the second holding piece, and the first holding piece and the second holding piece The piece can be configured to be allowed to bend upward but to be restricted by the support. This holding member can reliably hold the stem even if the stem diameter varies.

  Moreover, in the holding member of the present invention, when the side on which the stem is suspended is the lower side, the first support body installed on the lower side of the first holding piece and the second holding piece, and the first holding piece And a second support body installed on the upper side of the second sandwiching piece, and the first sandwiching piece and the second sandwiching piece are sandwiched between the first support body and the second support body. can do. Even in this holding member, the stem can be reliably held even if the stem diameter varies.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the holding member which can convey and display a plant can be provided, avoiding a contact with a container and a mutual contact.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
<First Embodiment>
FIGS. 1-3 is a perspective view which shows a mode that the strawberry was suspended by the holding member 1 of the fruit and vegetables in 1st Embodiment of this invention. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the holding plate 2 constituting the holding member 1, and FIG. 5 is a plan view of the support plate 3 constituting the holding member 1.
As shown in these drawings, the holding member 1 is configured by fixing a holding plate 2 and a support plate 3 with bolts B and nuts N.
The holding plate 2 having a rectangular planar shape is integrally formed of an elastic body such as urethane foam, neoprene rubber, foamed styrene, resin, preferably silicon rubber.
As shown in FIG. 4, the holding plate 2 includes a base portion 20 continuously connected in the longitudinal direction on one side in the width direction. A clamping piece 21 is formed from the base 20 toward the other side in the width direction. A plurality of trapezoidal holding pieces 21 are formed in the longitudinal direction. A slit 22 for inserting the stem st of the strawberry S is formed between the adjacent sandwiching pieces 21. The slit 22 is narrowed from the front toward the back. One sandwiching piece 21 adjacent to the slit 22 forms the first sandwiching piece of the present invention, and the other sandwiching piece 21 forms the second sandwiching piece of the present invention. By pushing the stalk st of the strawberry S into the slit 22, the stalk st is clamped by the two adjacent clamping pieces 21, and the strawberry S is suspended.
The holding plate 2 has a plurality of through holes 23 through which bolts B for fixing to the support plate 3 are passed. A through hole 24 is formed at the base of the slit 22 to avoid stress concentration.

As shown in FIG. 5, the support plate 3 having a rectangular planar shape is a metal material that can be regarded as a rigid body with respect to the holding plate 2, for example, a resin material such as stainless steel or polycarbonate, and a composite material of metal and resin. Etc. are constructed integrally. The support plate 3 has substantially the same outer shape and dimensions as the holding plate 2 and includes a base portion 30 continuously connected in the longitudinal direction on one side in the width direction. A support piece 31 is formed from the base 30 toward the other side in the width direction. The same number of support pieces 31 as the holding pieces 21 are formed in the longitudinal direction.
When the support plate 3 is installed at a normal position with respect to the holding plate 2, the slit 32 of the support plate 3 corresponds to the slit 22 of the holding plate 2. Further, when the support plate 3 is installed at a regular position with respect to the holding plate 2, each support piece 31 of the support plate 3 is laminated with the corresponding holding piece 21 of the holding plate 2.
The support plate 3 is formed with a plurality of through holes 33 through which the bolts B for fixing to the holding plate 2 are passed. When the support plate 3 is disposed at a normal position with respect to the holding plate 2, the position of the through hole 33 of the support plate 3 corresponds to the through hole 23 of the holding plate 2.

  The holding plate 2 and the support plate 3 are fixed and integrated by fastening bolts B and nuts N in a state where the holding plate 2 and the support plate 3 are arranged and stacked, and constitute the holding member 1. The holding member 1 is used with the holding plate 2 on the upper side (the support plate 3 on the lower side). Therefore, in the state of use, the holding plate 2 cannot bend in the direction in which the strawberry S is suspended (hereinafter referred to as “downward”) because the support plate 3 obstructs. On the other hand, the holding plate 2 can be bent upward with a portion fixed by the bolt B and the nut N as a fulcrum. This is a feature of the first embodiment.

Now, when the strawberry S is suspended from the holding member 1, the stem st is pushed inward from the opening (front side) of the slit 22 of the holding plate 2 (the slit 32 of the support plate 3). Although this operation can be performed manually, as shown in FIG. 6, it can also be performed by an arm 5 of a robot (not shown) that holds the stem st. Here, since the upward bending of the sandwiching piece 21 is allowed, when the stem st is lifted slightly upward as shown in FIG. 6 (b) and pushed into the slit 22 as shown in FIG. 7 (a). As shown, the sandwiching piece 21 bends upward with the end facing the slit 22 as the apex. Therefore, even if there is variation in the thickness of the stem st, the interval between the slits 22 is adapted to the stem st, and the stem st can be smoothly pushed to a predetermined position of the slit 22. When the grip of the stem st by the arm 5 is released after the stem st is pushed to a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. 7B, the slit 22 is pushed and expanded in the left-right direction in the drawing by the weight of the strawberry S. A compressive stress is generated in the horizontal direction of the sandwiching piece 21 in the drawing, and the stem st is securely gripped.
Of course, the present invention allows the stem st to be pushed in the horizontal direction. In that case, the load increases as the stem st goes deeper, and the stem st is delayed obliquely backward from the position where the arm 5 is held. Then, the stem st is pulled in the axial direction, and as a result, the pinching piece 21 is induced to bend upward, and the pushing load is automatically reduced.
FIG. 7B shows an example in which the sandwiching piece 21 returns to a horizontal position. Depending on the diameter of the stem st, the stem st is gripped in a state where the sandwiching piece 21 is slightly bent upward. Sometimes.

FIG. 8A schematically illustrates the compressive stress generated in the sandwiching piece 21 when the sandwiching piece 21 is bent upward and downward, assuming that a member having a diameter d is interposed between the adjacent sandwiching pieces 21. It shows. The generated compressive stress is indicated by diagonal lines, and the compressive stress is maximum when the sandwiching piece 21 is horizontal. However, when the clamping piece 21 bends upward or downward, the compressive stress gradually decreases.
The holding member 1 of the first embodiment is allowed to bend upward but is limited to bend downward. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8B, the holding member 1 of the first embodiment can hold the stem st with the maximum compressive stress.

  When the strawberry S is removed from the holding member 1, it may be pulled toward the front while lifting the stem st upward as in the case of pushing the strawberry S into the slit 22. When the stem st is lifted upward, the sandwiching piece 21 bends upward, the force for gripping the stem st by the sandwiching piece 21 is weakened, and the strawberry S is easily removed from the holding member 1.

As described above, the holding member 1 can easily hold and remove the stem st of the strawberry S only by a simple insertion operation, although it can be made simple and small. In addition, the holding member 1 can hold the stem st at a predetermined position even if the thickness of the stem st varies. Therefore, the holding member 1 can be sufficiently attached to the robot so as to hold or remove the stem st by the arm 5 of the robot. And even if the robot with the holding member 1 is run, the holding of the stem st by the holding member 1 can be sufficiently maintained. Furthermore, even if the holding member 1 is provided and circulated in the transport container, the holding of the stem st by the holding member 1 can be sufficiently maintained.
Here, for example, the robot described in Patent Document 5 can accurately recognize the strawberry S and accurately pick the strawberry S while aiming at the stem st, and thus can be held on the holding member 1. When this robot picks strawberries, it moves on the ground (between strawberry shelves) with a swell of about 5 cm. For this reason, the holding member 1 that is required to prevent the strawberry S from falling even if vibration due to conveyance occurs can sufficiently satisfy this requirement.

JP 2007-230309 A

  The holding member 1 is provided with a plurality of slits 22 (32), and the plurality of strawberries S can be suspended by holding the stem st in each slit 22. The holding member 1 forms slits 22 at intervals at which the suspended strawberry S does not come into contact with the adjacent strawberry S. Accordingly, if the strawberry S is distributed while being suspended by the holding member 1 and is displayed in a retail store, the strawberry S is hardly damaged.

In the holding member 1, since the holding piece 21 is made of flexible silicone rubber, the stem st is not damaged even if the holding piece 21 is held by the adjacent holding piece 21, and the commercial value of the strawberry S is lowered. You do n’t have to. The sandwiching piece 21 is most preferably made of silicon rubber, but the above-described materials other than silicon rubber can also be used.
The clamping piece 21 is formed integrally with the holding plate 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. A plurality of members corresponding to the sandwiching pieces 21 may be produced and fixed to a predetermined position of the support plate 3 by appropriate means such as bolts and nuts.
The holding plate 2 is fixed with bolts B and nuts N, but the same effect can be obtained even if a similar member is provided on the support plate 3 by coating.
Moreover, although strawberry S was described here, it cannot be overemphasized that even if it is other than strawberry S, the fruit, vegetable, and flower which have a stem can be hold | maintained.

  In the above description, the strawberry S is suspended from the holding member 1 using the robot arm 5. However, a harvesting machine such as a robot for automatically harvesting plants such as the strawberry S, an inspection machine, a transporting machine, The holding member 1 can be mounted on a storage machine to maintain the freshness of the held fruit / vegetable / flower and delay pain. In particular, since the holding member 1 has a simple structure, it is suitable for mounting on a robot or the like.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a support plate is provided on the upper side. That is, the holding member 101 according to the second embodiment includes a plurality of sandwiching pieces 121, the first support plate 103, and the second support plate 104.
As shown in FIG. 9C, the sandwiching piece 121 has a trapezoidal planar shape as a single unit. As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the sandwiching piece 121 is compressed in the width direction so that the planar shape is rectangular, and the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104. It is sandwiched between. The upper base a of the sandwiching piece 121 is disposed on the near side where the stem st is pushed, and the length of the upper base a is sandwiched between the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104. It will be maintained later. Therefore, the pressure (pressurization) generated in the sandwiching piece 121 increases as the stem st is pushed in and goes back. The clamping piece 121 can be comprised with the material similar to what was demonstrated in 1st Embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the plurality of sandwiching pieces 121 are arranged in the longitudinal direction without providing a gap between adjacent sandwiching pieces 121. One adjacent holding piece 121 forms the first holding piece of the present invention, and the other holding piece 121 forms the second holding piece of the present invention. The strawberry S is suspended by pushing the stalk st of the strawberry S between two adjacent sandwiching pieces 121 to sandwich the stalk st.
Each clamping piece 121 has a plurality of through holes 123 through which bolts B for fixing to the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 are passed.

  Each of the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 has the same configuration as the support plate 3 of the first embodiment, and the same elements as those of the support plate 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description here is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (b), the plurality of sandwiching pieces 121 are sandwiched between the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104, and appropriate means such as bolts and nuts ( The holding member 101 is configured by being fixed and integrated with each other (not shown). Since the holding member 101 holds the holding piece 121 between the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104, the holding piece 121 is restricted from being bent in the vertical direction.

  When the strawberry S is suspended by the holding member 101 according to the second embodiment, the stem st is pushed in from the boundary between the adjacent sandwiching pieces 121. Since the pre-pressurizing force in front of the sandwiching piece 121 is small, the stem st easily enters between the adjacent sandwiching pieces 121, but the force received by the stem st from the adjacent sandwiching piece 121 increases as it is pushed into the back. The stem st is securely held. Further, since the holding member 101 increases in pressure as it goes from the front to the back, the thick stem st is held at the front side position, and the thin stem st is held at the back side position, so that the thickness of the stem st is increased. Even if there is variation in thickness, the stem st can be stably held with substantially the same force.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The holding member 101 of the second embodiment can hold the stalk st varying in thickness with the same force by increasing the pressurization of the clamping piece 121 from the front to the back, but the holding by the third embodiment The member 201 makes it possible to hold the stem st having a variation in thickness with the same force by narrowing the interval between the adjacent sandwiching pieces 21 from the near side to the back side.
The holding member 201 is configured by fixing the holding plate 202, the first support plate 203, and the second support plate 204 with bolts B and nuts N (not shown).

  The holding plate 202 has the same configuration as the holding plate 2 of the first embodiment, and the first support plate 203 and the second support plate 204 are each the support plate 3 of the first embodiment. It has the same composition as. Therefore, for the holding plate 202, the same elements as those of the holding plate 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and for the first support plate 203 and the second support plate 204, the same elements as those of the support plate 3 are the same. The description which overlaps is abbreviate | omitted.

  When the strawberry S is suspended by the holding member 201 of the third embodiment, the stem st is pushed into the slit 22 between the adjacent sandwiching pieces 21. Since the width of the slit 22 on the near side of the sandwiching piece 21 is large, the stem st can be easily pushed between the adjacent sandwiching pieces 121. However, the width of the slit 22 becomes smaller toward the back, and when the stem st is pushed to a predetermined position where the diameter of the stem st is larger than the width of the slit 22, the force that the stem st receives from the adjacent sandwiching piece 21 is increased. The stem st can be reliably held. This predetermined position can be determined according to the thickness of the stem st. In other words, if the thick stem st is held at the near side position and the thin stem st is held at the far side position, the stem st can be stabilized with almost the same force even if the thickness of the stem st varies. Can be held.

<Fourth embodiment>
The example which accommodates the strawberry S in the packaging container 300 using the holding member 1 (101, 201) demonstrated above is demonstrated with reference to FIG. 11, FIG.
The packaging container 300 is a box-shaped container made of a transparent resin, for example, PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) and having a lid 301. A slit 302 is formed in the upper wall of the packaging container 300. A holding member 401 in which a slit 402 is formed at a position corresponding to the slit 302 is installed on the upper surface of the upper wall of the packaging container 300. Although the structure is simplified in FIGS. 11 and 12, the holding members 401 to 201 shown in the first to third embodiments can be used for the holding member 401.
The strawberry S is suspended by holding the stem st by the holding member 401 inside the packaging container 300 in which the holding member 401 is installed.
After the strawberry S is suspended, the lid 301 is closed and the strawberry S is accommodated in the packaging container 300. The strawberry S is distributed in a state of being accommodated in the packaging container 300 and displayed in a retail store.

  Although FIG. 11 suspended the strawberry S after installing the holding member 401 in the packaging container 300, as shown in FIG. 12, after the strawberry S was suspended from the holding member 401, the holding member 401 is placed in the packaging container 300. It can also be installed.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Although the fifth embodiment also relates to a packaging container, the packaging container 500 according to the fifth embodiment can suspend and accommodate the strawberry S without separately providing the holding member 1 (101, 201).
FIG. 13A is a development view of the packaging container 500, and FIG. 13B is a diagram showing a state during the assembly of the packaging container 500. FIG. 14 shows a state where the packaging container 500 is assembled.
The packaging container 500 is integrally made of a transparent resin, for example, PET, and is connected to the bottom wall 501 as shown in FIG. 13A, and includes a first side wall 502, a second side wall 503, and a third side. A side wall 504 and a fourth side wall 505 are formed. The upper surface side of the bottom wall 501, the first side wall 502, the second side wall 503, the third side wall 504, and the fourth side wall 505 is referred to as the inner side.

  A first upper wall 506 is formed on the first side wall 502, and a second upper wall 507 is formed on the second side wall 503. A first standing wall 508 is formed on the first upper wall 506, and a second standing wall 509 is formed on the second upper wall 507. On the third side wall 504, ears 504a and 504b and a first rigid body forming part 510 are formed on the left and right in the drawing. On the fourth side wall 505, ear portions 505a and 505b and a second rigid body forming portion 511 are formed in series on the left and right in the drawing.

Next, an assembly procedure of the packaging container 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. The following procedure is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.
The first upper wall 506 is valley-folded with respect to the inside of the first side wall 502, and then the first standing wall 508 is mountain-folded with respect to the inside of the first upper wall 506. In the following, the reference to the inside is simply referred to as a reference. Similarly, the second upper wall 507 is valley-folded based on the second side wall 503, and then the second standing wall 509 is mountain-folded based on the second upper wall 507.
The ears 504a and 504b are folded with respect to the third side wall 504 as a reference. In addition, the first rigid body forming portion 510 connected to the third side wall 504 is sequentially folded into a rigid body forming portion 510 having a square cross section. Similarly, the ears 505a and 505b are valley-folded based on the fourth side wall 505. In addition, the second rigid body forming portion 511 connected to the fourth side wall 505 is sequentially folded into a second rigid body forming portion 511 having a square cross section.
Next, the first side wall 502, the second side wall 503, and the third side wall 504 are valley-folded with respect to the bottom wall 501, thereby forming the box-shaped packaging container 500 shown in FIG. In this packaging container 500, the portion where the fourth side wall 505 is arranged by being valley-folded serves as an insertion port for the strawberry S.

The packaging container 500 is provided with a slit 512 between the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507, and the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall are pushed by pushing the stem st of the strawberry S into the slit 512. The strawberry S is suspended by holding the stem st at 507.
FIG. 15 is a diagram schematically illustrating how the stem st is sandwiched between the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507.
FIG. 15A shows a state before the stem st is sandwiched. One end of the first upper wall 506 is continuous with the first side wall 502, but a standing wall 508 is formed, and the other end facing the slit 512 can be regarded as a free end. Similarly, one end of the second upper wall 507 is continuous with the second side wall 503, but the standing wall 509 is formed, and the other end facing the slit 512 can be regarded as a free end. However, in the back of the packaging container 500, the lower surface of the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507 is supported by the first rigid body forming portion 510 that is the support body of the present invention. Accordingly, the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507 can bend upward as indicated by arrows in the drawing, but the downward deflection is restricted. The first upper wall 506 and the first standing wall 508 constitute a first holding piece of the present invention, and the second upper wall 507 and the second standing wall 509 constitute a second holding piece of the present invention. Note that the width of the slit 512 is w.

  As shown in FIG. 15B, a stem st having a diameter d (> w) is pushed into the slit 512. At this time, when the stem st is lifted slightly upward and pushed into the slit 512, as shown in FIG. 15B, the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507 have ends facing the slit 512. Easily bends upward as a vertex. Therefore, even if the thickness of the stem st varies, the width of the slit 512 can be adapted to the stem st and the stem st can be pushed smoothly to a predetermined position of the slit 512. When pushing of the stem st is stopped after pushing the stem st to the vicinity of the center of the packaging container 500 in the depth direction, the slit 512 is pushed in the horizontal direction in the figure by the dead weight of the strawberry S as shown in FIG. As a result, the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507 are subjected to compressive stress, and the stem st can be reliably gripped by the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507. FIG. 15C shows an example in which the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507 are returned to a horizontal position. However, depending on the diameter of the stem st, the first upper wall 506 and the second upper wall 507 are shown. The stem st may be gripped with the wall 507 bent upward.

  After the strawberry S is suspended, if the fourth side wall 505 is valley-folded with respect to the bottom wall 501, the accommodation of the strawberry S in the packaging container 500 is completed. The strawberry S is distributed in a state of being accommodated in the packaging container 500 and displayed in a retail store.
