Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging container, and more particularly to a strawberry storage tray for storing strawberry.

  The size of the strawberry container is practically determined for the convenience of transportation. In other words, containers containing strawberries are packed in cardboard carton boxes, for example, (2 × 4) rows × 2 tiers, and such carton boxes are placed on a pallet for cargo handling (vertical 2 × horizontal 3) × A plurality of stages (for example, 14 stages) are stacked, and are loaded and unloaded by a forklift. The rectangular dimensions of the pallet for cargo handling are practically standardized for convenience of transportation. For this reason, the dimensions of the carton box and the strawberry container are also required to match this. Therefore, the square size of the tray loaded in the strawberry container is also a predetermined size, and the storage surface is determined to be a substantially constant area. This restriction due to the convenience of transportation tends to become more prominent in foreign transactions, especially in the case of importing strawberries from foreign countries that are often transported by air.

  By the way, although the base end portion of the strawberry is hardly damaged due to its nature, the front end portion is easily damaged by a small vibration. In addition, maintaining the shape of the tip of strawberry greatly affects the product value. For this reason, strawberries are distributed and sold in containers such as packs.

  Conventional strawberry containers are mainly cardboard box-shaped. However, in such a container, the strawberries can be stored densely, but the storage of the strawberries becomes indefinite, and when the stored strawberries collide in the distribution process, they may be damaged.

  In addition, in the case of gifts and the like, there has been an attempt to protect strawberries from vibration by placing a thin insole made of polyethylene foam on the bottom of a transparent box-shaped pack. However, even such containers often cannot cope with large vibrations, and there is a difficulty that the strawberries cannot be stored tightly.

  In addition, when importing from abroad, strawberries are often stored tightly, but in this case, storing strawberries in a container with an insole even if they are easily damaged like strawberries. Often not done. In such a case, there is a drawback that the risk of damage is increased during transportation.

  Therefore, recently, containers having trays as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 have been proposed.

  Patent Document 1 describes a tray having a hemispherical storage recess. This is to stabilize the base end portion of the strawberry in the storage recess, but since the tip end portion of the strawberry faces upward, a lot of gap or play occurs between the stored strawberry. For this reason, the tip portion collided with the lid due to vibration during conveyance, and the tip portion that greatly affects the commercial value is likely to be damaged.

  Patent Documents 1 to 4 also propose a storage recess in which a strawberry is stored obliquely on a tray. These can reduce the difficulty caused by the gap between the stored strawberries, but the leading edge of the last row of strawberries faces the edge of the container, so the risk of the leading edge touching the edge or lid of the container during transport. As a result, there is a problem that the tip portion that greatly affects the commercial value is easily damaged.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above background, the present invention aims to simultaneously achieve the incompatible problem of maintaining the shape of the tip part that greatly affects the commercial value and densely storing the strawberries in the container. .

  Another object of the present invention is to achieve a good display effect by appealing to consumers about the shape of the whole strawberry stored in the container.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned target, the strawberry storage tray according to the present invention is a strawberry storage tray loaded in a container. The tray has a predetermined storage area on the storage surface, and the recess is stored in the storage surface. A plurality of strawberry storage portions are provided, the strawberry storage portion having a main body recessed portion formed in a substantially circular shape in plan view, and a tip recessed portion in a substantially triangular shape in plan view formed continuously with the main body recessed portion. All the tip recesses are inclined with respect to the base of the tray, and the direction of the tip recess facing the one orthogonal edge perpendicular to the base is the direction of the adjacent tip recess On the other hand, it is formed in the opposite direction.
Further, in the strawberry storage tray according to claim 1, the first row and the last row of the strawberry storage portion provided in a direction orthogonal to the base side are formed in opposite directions, respectively. .
The strawberry storage tray according to claim 1 is characterized in that the strawberry storage portion is provided in a plurality of rows, and the directions of the rows are alternate.
The strawberry storage tray according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of the strawberry storage portions are provided along the base side, and a plurality of strawberry storage units are provided in a direction orthogonal to the base side.
The strawberry storage tray according to claim 1, wherein the base is formed along an opening / closing part of a lid provided in the container.

The strawberry container according to the present invention is a strawberry storage tray to be loaded in the container, and the tray has a predetermined area in which the storage surface is predetermined, and the tray has a recess in which the strawberry is stored. A plurality of strawberry storage portions are provided, and the strawberry storage portion includes a main body recessed portion formed in a substantially circular shape in plan view, and a tip recessed portion in a substantially triangular shape in plan view formed continuously with the main body recessed portion. All the tip recesses are obliquely arranged with respect to the base of the tray, and the direction of the tip recess facing one orthogonal edge perpendicular to the base is opposite to the direction of the adjacent tip recess It is formed in a direction, and the tray is loaded.

  In the strawberry storage tray according to the present invention, all the strawberry storage portions are inclined with respect to the base of the tray. For this reason, when the strawberry is stored, the gap is made as small as possible without interfering with the adjacent tip portion even if the tip portions of the strawberry having a small diameter in the tapered shape are all in the same direction. Therefore, strawberries can be stored more densely per unit area of the tray.

  Further, the direction of the tip recessed portion facing one orthogonal edge portion orthogonal to the base side is formed in the opposite direction to the direction of the adjacent tip recessed portion. That is, each strawberry storage part in the last row is opposite to each tip recess in a row adjacent to each tip recess.

  As a result, the position of the center of the main body recess in the last row is shifted from the center of the main body recess in the adjacent row.

  Due to this misalignment, the ridges in the final row are formed in the main body of the last row without interfering with the tip dents in the adjacent row even though the strawberries are stored densely per unit area. It can be disposed between the recesses and the adjacent row of body recesses.

  Therefore, even if vibration is generated during distribution and transportation, it does not collide with the edge of the tray, so that there is no possibility of damaging the tip, particularly the strawberry.

  Next, the strawberry storage tray according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments. For convenience, portions having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. Reference numeral 1 denotes a tray, which is made of foamed polyethylene having a thickness of 1.5 mm and is formed in a square shape. The square dimensions are practically determined from the convenience of conveyance. In the case of FIG. 1, the length L is 140 mm and the width W is 170 mm. The tray 1 is provided with a plurality of strawberry storage units 2.

  The strawberry storage portion 2 includes a main body recessed portion 4 in which the tray 1 is recessed, and a tip recessed portion 5 formed continuously from the main body recessed portion. The main body recessed portion 4 is a recessed portion for accommodating the base end portion 13 of the strawberry 11, and is formed in a substantially circular shape when the opening is viewed from above, and the bottom surface is formed flat so that the placement on the container is stable. . The depth D of the main body recessed portion 4 is 14.5 mm, and the diameter E is 33 mm. The tip recess portion 5 is a recess for storing the tip portion 12 of the strawberry 11, and is formed in a substantially triangular shape when the opening is viewed from above, and the bottom surface is directed upward to correspond to the tapered shape of the tip portion 12 of the strawberry 11. Inclined. Reference numeral 14 denotes a head of the strawberry 11 (shown in FIG. 7).

  The strawberry storage portion 2 is arranged so that the tip recessed portion 5a is inclined upward with respect to the base side 7 of the tray 1, and constitutes each row 2A to 2D. In other words, the tip recesses 5a of the rows 2A to 2D are all arranged in the same direction. In the strawberry storage portion 2E constituting the last row, the direction of the tip recessed portion 5b is inclined downwardly opposite to the tip recessed portion 5a of each row 2A to 2D. The inclination angle α of the tip recess portion 5a and the tip recess portion 5b is 45 ° in the embodiment of FIG. Further, the depth angles β of the tip recess 5a and the tip recess 5b are both 45 °. Thus, 4 rows along the base 7 and 5 columns orthogonal to the base 7 = 20 strawberry storage units 2 are arranged on the tray 1.

  The embodiment of FIG. 1 is a case where the direction of the tip recess 5a of each row 2A to 2D is upward (forward) and the direction of the tip recess 5b of the last row 2E is downward (reverse).

  FIG. 4 shows a case where such a tray 1 is loaded in a container 9 and a strawberry 11 is stored therein. In this case, the tray 1 is loaded so that the lid 10 of the container 9 opens and closes in the front-rear direction. When the tray 1 is loaded in the container 9 as described above, the lid 10 does not come into contact with the worker's hand when the strawberry is stored. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment in which the lid 10 is loaded so as to open and close in the left-right direction.

  According to the present embodiment, since all the strawberry storage portions 2 are provided obliquely with respect to the base 7 of the tray, when the strawberry 11 is stored, all the leading end portions 12 of the strawberry that have a tapered diameter are all included. Even in the same direction, the gaps 6a and 6b are made as small as possible without interfering with the adjacent tip portion 12. Therefore, the strawberry 11 can be stored densely per unit area.

  Further, the direction of the tip recessed portion 5b facing one orthogonal edge portion 8a orthogonal to the base side is formed in the opposite direction to the direction of the adjacent tip recessed portion 5a. That is, each strawberry storage portion 2 in the last row 2E is opposite to each tip recess portion 5a in the row 2D in which each tip recess portion 5b is adjacent.

  Here, the distance a in the lateral W direction between the centers 3a-3a of the columns 2A-2B, 2B-2C, and 2C-2D is formed to be equal to 33 mm, but each center of the final column 2E-2D. The same distance b between 3a and 3b is formed to be 35 mm, and is formed to be larger than the distance a between the centers 3a and 3a. As a result, the position of the center 3b of the main body recessed portion 4b of the final row 2E is shifted from the center 3a of the main body recessed portion 4a of the adjacent row 2D. In this embodiment, the distance c in the vertical L direction between the centers 3a-3a between the rows and the distance c in the vertical L direction between the centers 3b-3b of the last strawberry storage part between the rows are equally 33.5 mm. And distance b> distance c> distance a.

  Due to this misalignment, the tip recesses 5b of the last row 2E are not interfered with the tip recesses 5a of the adjacent rows 2D, and the triangular tip recesses 5b are adjacent to the main body recesses 4b of the last row 2E. It can arrange | position between the main body recessed parts 4a. Therefore, even if vibration is generated during distribution and transportation, it is possible to prevent the tip portion 12 of the strawberry 11 that has a great influence on the commercial value from colliding with the edge 8 of the container 9. There is no risk of damage.

  Further, even if vibration is generated during the distribution and transportation, there is no interference with the lid 10 of the container 9, so that there is no possibility that the strawberry 11, particularly the tip portion 12 is damaged.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the direction of the tip recesses 5a in the row 2A is upward (forward), the direction of the tip recesses 5b in the row 2B is downward (reverse), and the direction of the tip recesses 5a in the row 2C is This is a case where it is upward (forward) and the direction of the tip recessed portion 5b of the row 2D is downward (reverse).

In the case of FIG. 6, the square dimensions L and W of the tray 1 are the same as in FIG. In this case, 16 strawberry storage portions 2 are provided in 4 rows × 4 columns = 16. Therefore, the inclination angle α ₁ of the tip recess portion 5a is set to 60 °, the inclination angle α ₂ of the tip recess portion 5b is set to 30 °, and the depth angles β of the tip recess portion 5a and the tip recess portion 5b are both 55. Set to °. In this case, the depth D of the main body recessed portion 4 is 16 mm, and the diameter E is 36 mm. In the case of FIG. 6, the distances between the centers are set as a = 42.5 mm, b = 44.96 mm, and c = 33.5 mm, and b>a> c.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the direction of the tip recesses 5 is alternately reversed, the base ends 13 of the adjacent strawberries 11 are aligned, and the gaps 6a and 6b between the main body recesses 4a and 4b are further reduced. Therefore, it is desirable that the strawberry can be stored more densely. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, as described in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the strawberries 11 can be stored in the container per unit area while maintaining the shape of the tip 12 that greatly affects the commercial value. It is possible to simultaneously achieve the difficult task of being dense.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, the number of strawberry storage units 2 and the number of matrices are arbitrary. The inclination angle α of the strawberry storage unit 2 is not limited to the numerical values of the above-described embodiments, but is affected by the number of strawberry storage units 2 and the number of matrices. This is because the square dimension of the tray 1 is practically determined for the convenience of conveyance. In order to maintain the shape of the front end portion 12 and the most dense storage per unit area in a predetermined area, the optimum inclination angle is set. This is because α needs to be obtained. For example, in the case of FIG. 1, since the number of strawberry storage portions 2 is set to 5 × 4 = 20, the inclination angles α of the tip recess portion 5a and the tip recess portion 5b are both set to 45 °. In the case of FIG. 6, since the number of strawberry storage portions 2 is set to 4 × 4 = 16, the inclination angle α ₁ of the tip recess portion 5a is 60 °, and the inclination angle α ₂ of the tip recess portion 5b is 30 °. Is set. In the case of FIG. 8, since the number of strawberry storage portions 2 is set to 6 × 4 = 24, the inclination angles α _{1 and} α ₂ of the tip recess portion 5a and the tip recess portion 5b are both set to 35 °. In the case of FIG. 9, since the number of strawberry storage portions 2 is set to 4 × 4 = 16, the inclination angle α ₁ of the tip recess portion 5a is 60 °, and the inclination angle α ₂ of the tip recess portion 5b is 30 °. Is set. The depth angle β is set to 50 ° in the case of FIG. 8 and 55 ° in the case of FIG. The square dimensions L and W of the tray 1 in FIGS. 8 and 9 are the same as those in FIG.

  The thickness and square dimensions of the tray 1 are not limited to the numerical values in the above embodiment, but are changed if the square dimensions of the cargo handling pallet are changed because they are affected by the square dimensions of the cargo handling pallet as described above. Is possible. The size and dimensions of the strawberry storage unit 2 can also be changed. For example, in the case of FIG. 8 embodiment, the depth D of the main body recessed portion 4 is 13 mm and the diameter E is 29 mm. In the case of FIG. 9 embodiment, D is 16 mm and the diameter E is 36 mm. In the case of FIG. 8, the distances between the centers are set to a = 27 mm, b = 29.5 mm, and c = 33 mm, and c> b> a. In the case of FIG. 9, the distances between the centers are set to a = 42.5 mm, b = 44.96 mm, c = 33.5 mm, and b> a> c.

  This invention can be utilized for the container which accommodates a strawberry.

  Next, the strawberry storage tray according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments. For convenience, portions having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. Reference numeral 1 denotes a tray, which is made of foamed polyethylene having a thickness of 1.5 mm and is formed in a square shape. The square dimensions are practically determined from the convenience of conveyance. In the case of FIG. 1, the length L is 140 mm and the width W is 170 mm. The tray 1 is provided with a plurality of strawberry storage units 2.

  The strawberry storage portion 2 includes a main body recessed portion 4 in which the tray 1 is recessed, and a tip recessed portion 5 formed continuously from the main body recessed portion. The main body recessed part 4 is a recessed part for accommodating the base end part 13 of the strawberry 11, and is formed in a substantially semicircular shape when the opening is viewed from above, and the bottom surface is formed flat so that the placement on the container is stable. (FIG. 1C). The depth D of the main body recessed portion 4 is 14.5 mm, and the diameter E is 33 mm. The tip recess portion 5 is a recess for storing the tip portion 12 of the strawberry 11, and is formed in a substantially triangular shape when the opening is viewed from above, and the bottom surface is directed upward to correspond to the tapered shape of the tip portion 12 of the strawberry 11. It is formed with an inclination (FIG. 1C). Reference numeral 14 denotes a head of the strawberry 11 (shown in FIG. 7).

  The strawberry storage portion 2 is arranged so that the tip recessed portion 5a is inclined upward with respect to the base side 7 of the tray 1, and constitutes each row 2A to 2D. In other words, the tip recesses 5a of the rows 2A to 2D are all arranged in the same direction. In the strawberry storage portion 2E constituting the last row, the direction of the tip recessed portion 5b is inclined downwardly opposite to the tip recessed portion 5a of each row 2A to 2D. The inclination angle α of the tip recess portion 5a and the tip recess portion 5b is 45 ° in the embodiment of FIG. Further, the depth angles β of the tip recess 5a and the tip recess 5b are both 45 °. Thus, 4 rows along the base 7 and 5 columns orthogonal to the base 7 = 20 strawberry storage units 2 are arranged on the tray 1.

  The embodiment of FIG. 1 is a case where the direction of the tip recess 5a of each row 2A to 2D is upward (forward) and the direction of the tip recess 5b of the last row 2E is downward (reverse).

  FIG. 4 shows a case where such a tray 1 is loaded in a container 9 and a strawberry 11 is stored therein. In this case, the tray 1 is loaded so that the lid 10 of the container 9 opens and closes in the front-rear direction. When the tray 1 is loaded in the container 9 as described above, the lid 10 does not come into contact with the worker's hand when the strawberry is stored. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment in which the lid 10 is loaded so as to open and close in the left-right direction.

  According to the present embodiment, since all the strawberry storage portions 2 are provided obliquely with respect to the base 7 of the tray, when the strawberry 11 is stored, all the leading end portions 12 of the strawberry that have a tapered diameter are all included. Even in the same direction, the gaps 6a and 6b are made as small as possible without interfering with the adjacent tip portion 12. Therefore, the strawberry 11 can be stored densely per unit area.

Further, the direction of the tip recessed portion 5b facing one orthogonal edge portion 8a orthogonal to the base side is formed in the opposite direction to the direction of the adjacent tip recessed portion 5a. That is, each strawberry storage portion 2 in the last row 2E is opposite to each tip recess portion 5a in the row 2D in which each tip recess portion 5b is adjacent. For this reason, the strawberry stored in each strawberry storage portion of the last row 2E has a base end portion that is resistant to impact at the bottom of the display, and when the last row 2E is displayed downward, the strawberry tip is damaged by the impact at the time of display. To prevent. Therefore, the shape of the tip can be maintained and a good display effect can be obtained.

  Here, the distance a in the lateral W direction between the centers 3a-3a of the columns 2A-2B, 2B-2C, and 2C-2D is formed to be equal to 33 mm, but each center of the final column 2E-2D. The same distance b between 3a and 3b is formed to be 35 mm, and is formed to be larger than the distance a between the centers 3a and 3a. As a result, the position of the center 3b of the main body recessed portion 4b of the final row 2E is shifted from the center 3a of the main body recessed portion 4a of the adjacent row 2D. In this embodiment, the distance c in the vertical L direction between the centers 3a-3a between the rows and the distance c in the vertical L direction between the centers 3b-3b of the last strawberry storage part between the rows are equally 33.5 mm. And distance b> distance c> distance a.

Due to this misalignment, the tip recesses 5b of the last row 2E are not interfered with the tip recesses 5a of the adjacent rows 2D, and the triangular tip recesses 5b are adjacent to the main body recesses 4b of the last row 2E. Between the main body recess 4a. Therefore, the shape of the strawberry tip can be maintained, and the strawberry can be stored in the container in a dense manner. Be further vibrated during circulation conveying occurs and the tip portion 12 of the great influence Strawberry 11 in commercial value can be prevented from colliding with the edge 8 of the container 9, the distal end portion 12 of the strawberries 11 There is no risk of damage.

  Further, even if vibration is generated during the distribution and transportation, there is no interference with the lid 10 of the container 9, so that there is no possibility that the strawberry 11, particularly the tip portion 12 is damaged.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the direction of the tip recesses 5a in the row 2A is upward (forward), the direction of the tip recesses 5b in the row 2B is downward (reverse), and the direction of the tip recesses 5a in the row 2C is This is a case where it is upward (forward) and the direction of the tip recessed portion 5b of the row 2D is downward (reverse).

In the case of FIG. 6, the square dimensions L and W of the tray 1 are the same as in FIG. In this case, 16 strawberry storage portions 2 are provided in 4 rows × 4 columns = 16. Therefore, the inclination angle α ₁ of the tip recess portion 5a is set to 60 °, the inclination angle α ₂ of the tip recess portion 5b is set to 30 °, and the depth angles β of the tip recess portion 5a and the tip recess portion 5b are both 55. Set to °. In this case, the depth D of the main body recessed portion 4 is 16 mm, and the diameter E is 36 mm. In the case of FIG. 6, the distances between the centers are set as a = 42.5 mm, b = 44.96 mm, and c = 33.5 mm, and b>a> c.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the direction of the tip recesses 5 is alternately reversed, the base ends 13 of the adjacent strawberries 11 are aligned, and the gaps 6a and 6b between the main body recesses 4a and 4b are further reduced. Therefore, it is desirable that the strawberry can be stored more densely. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, as described in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the strawberries 11 can be stored in the container per unit area while maintaining the shape of the tip 12 that greatly affects the commercial value. It is possible to simultaneously achieve the difficult task of being dense.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, the number of strawberry storage units 2 and the number of matrices are arbitrary. The inclination angle α of the strawberry storage unit 2 is not limited to the numerical values of the above-described embodiments, but is affected by the number of strawberry storage units 2 and the number of matrices. This is because the square dimension of the tray 1 is practically determined for the convenience of conveyance. In order to maintain the shape of the front end portion 12 and the most dense storage per unit area in a predetermined area, the optimum inclination angle is set. This is because α needs to be obtained. For example, if you set the strawberry container 2 to 5 × 4 = 20 pieces, the inclination angle α of the tip recess 5a and the tip recess 5b is both set to 45 ° (Figure 1). When the number of strawberry storage portions 2 is set to 4 × 4 = 16, the inclination angle α ₁ of the tip recess portion 5a is set to 60 °, and the inclination angle α ₂ of the tip recess portion 5b is set to 30 ° (see FIG. 6) When the number of strawberry storage portions 2 is set to 4 × 4 = 16, the inclination angle α ₁ of the tip recess portion 5a is set to 60 °, and the inclination angle α ₂ of the tip recess portion 5b is set to 30 ° (see FIG. 8) The depth angle β is set to 55 ° in the case of FIG 8. The square dimensions L and W of the tray 1 in FIG. 8 are the same as those in FIG.

The thickness and square dimensions of the tray 1 are not limited to the numerical values in the above embodiment, but are changed if the square dimensions of the cargo handling pallet are changed because they are affected by the square dimensions of the cargo handling pallet as described above. Is possible. The size and dimensions of the strawberry storage unit 2 can also be changed. For example, in the case of FIG. 8 embodiment, the depth D of the body concave portion 4 16 mm, the diameter E is Ri 36mm der, the distance between each center, a = 42.5mm, b = 44.96mm , c = 33 .5 mm, and b>a> c.

  This invention can be utilized for the container which accommodates a strawberry.
