The present invention relates to an air mat installed inside a packaging box for transporting fruit to protect the fruit from external impact.

In order to transport and store fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, etc., they are usually contained in cartons made of paper or synthetic resin, which are usually protected to prevent the fruit from being impacted. The ash is embedded together, and the one commonly encountered as a fruit protection material is a fruit egg yolk and a fan cap.

Fruit egg yolks are formed by forming a plurality of grooves having a suitable diameter in the middle of the plate on the plate, so that the fruit can be placed in each groove, these egg yolks are large diameter to correspond to the size of the fruit accommodated in the grooves It is standardized to have small grooves, for example, 7 and a ovule that can accommodate 7 fruits, and 23 and a ovule that can accommodate 23 fruits.

General egg yolks are kept in a specific shape by press molding using paper or synthetic resin. However, these egg yolks prevent fruits from rolling in the box, but because they lack buffering force, The bruising often occurs and there is a problem of degrading the fruit quality during distribution.

Moreover, in the case of the egg yolk, the number of fruits that can be accommodated is determined in advance, so if the farmer buys the egg before the fruit is harvested, the previously purchased egg yolk is discarded if the prediction of the fruit size to be harvested and the actual fruit size do not match. In addition, there is a problem that must be stored for one year until the next harvest time, and inefficient, and must buy a suitable egg size for the harvested fruit, at that time there is a problem that is difficult to purchase due to the increased demand of the egg.

The fan cap is a single package of fruit, and its shape is mainly made of styrofoam in the form of a lotus flower or a net so as to cover an area of about 2/3 of the fruit.

However, in the case of fan cap, it is necessary to bear the inconvenience of individually packing the fruits individually, and it takes a lot of packing time, and since the selling price is high, the labor cost according to the packaging is increased and the shipping price per box is increased. There is a problem such as accompanied by a rise.

In addition, in the case of the fan cap can be protected to some extent from the external impact, there is a problem that can not prevent the phenomenon of the fruit rolling inside the fruit box.

As a more improved form of the protective material, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0082245 has been proposed 'buffer sheet of the fruit packaging box', the content is composed of a transparent air cap sheet fused to the foam sheet surface .

However, this type of buffer sheet is also in the form of a flat plate, so when the box is inclined, the fruit contained inside the box has to be rolled, and the shock absorbing direction is also possible only at the bottom of the fruit in contact with the buffer sheet. Therefore, since it is not possible to absorb the external impact of the whole direction of the fruit, it is necessary to use a protective member, such as egg yolk or fan cap, the increase in packaging cost is inevitable.

The first object of the present invention devised to solve the above problems is to provide a fruit packaging air mat to prevent the fruit contained in the packaging box from rolling, and at the same time fully protect from external impacts applied to the fruit in all directions. It is.

In addition, the second object of the present invention is to provide an air mat for fruit packaging that can achieve the first object while protecting the fruit as a single part to reduce the manufacturing cost, further reducing the packaging cost.

The present invention for achieving the above object is provided with an air injection unit capable of injecting and discharging air to one side of the base on the flat plate is flexible and hollow inside, a plurality of bumps having a predetermined height on the top of the base An additional portion is provided, and the inside of the base and the ridge are characterized in that the air mat for fruit packaging is made in communication with each other.

Preferably, the air is injected by the user's choice, when the over-injection, in order to discharge a certain amount of air, the air injection portion is connected to the base wall and the extension portion to be ambushing or protruding into the base, An opening and closing plate for controlling the injection and discharge of air is formed on the inner end of the air injection portion.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.
