Description

The claimed utility model relates to devices for storing fruits and vegetables at home on balconies, loggias or other non-insulated rooms.

A container for perishable fruits and vegetables, closest in terms of characteristics, is known, containing an outer casing with a lid and supports on the outer and inner surfaces of the bottom, a box for fruit and vegetable products with a perforated bottom and side walls installed in it with a gap on the supports of the inner surface of the bottom. The outer casing is equipped with a hinged lid for access to the box when loading products or the need to remove it for maintenance (Auth. Certificate. USSR No. 1474030, publ. 23.04.1989).

In the known device of the container, natural air circulation is provided inside the body through openings on only two opposite side walls and the bottom of the box, which may be insufficient during long-term storage of products to maintain consumer properties of the product due to the limited surface of the products in contact with the air inside the container. In addition, the design of the box for fruits and vegetables does not allow you to store different types of fruits and vegetables in one container, which is required in everyday life.

In addition, the vertical walls of the box limit the surface area of the loaded product in contact with the environment during storage, and make it difficult to create conditions for the largest possible contact surface of the product with air in the box for loading and storing fruit and vegetable products.

The technical result of the claimed solution is to improve the storage conditions of fruits and vegetables by increasing the surface area of products available for contact with air inside the container, as well as the ability to store several types of fruits and vegetables in one container.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in a storage container containing a housing with a lid and supports and on the outer and inner surfaces of the bottom of the housing, respectively, a box with a perforated bottom and side walls installed with a gap inside the housing on the supports of the inner surface of the bottom, the box contains at least at least one loading section formed by two perforated walls with a curved profile located opposite each other by the convexity of the profile to the outside of the section, and fixed between the longitudinal sides E box walls, at the corners of the inner surface of the housing bottom supports mounted drawer displacement limiters, the internal surface of the housing and cover are provided with insulation.

To avoid box displacement inside the container body, the supports on the inner surface of the body are equipped with displacement limiters, which can be made in the form of corners.

To maintain the temperature of the medium inside the container for a longer time, the lid is equipped with a sealing gasket at the periphery of contact with the walls of the housing.

To improve storage conditions, a bactericidal lamp is installed in the container. Extruded polystyrene foam, mineral wool or other suitable material can be used as insulation.

Figure 1 shows a cross section of the container device along the section line aa in figure 2.

Figure 2 shows a top view of the container device with the cover removed.

The storage container comprises a housing (1) with a lid (2) and supports (4) and (5) on the outer and inner surfaces of the bottom (3) of the housing (1), respectively. A box (6) with a perforated bottom (7) and side walls (8, 8 ') and (9, 9') is mounted on the supports (4). The box is placed on the supports (4) on the inner surface of the bottom (3) so that a sufficient gap is formed between the side walls (8, 8 ') and (9, 9') of the box (6) and the inner surfaces of the side walls of the housing (1) for convenient access to it when installing and removing from the housing (1). The internal volume of the drawer section is divided into several loading sections (10). Each section is formed by two perforated walls (11, 11 ') with a curved profile, opposite each other convexity of the profile to the outside of the section, and fixed between the side walls (8, 8') of the box (6). In order for the box (6) not to move on the supports (4), limiters (12) for the box's displacement are installed at the corners of these supports. The inner surfaces of the housing (1) (on the side walls and the bottom) and the covers (2) are equipped with a heater (13). Extruded polystyrene foam, mineral wool or other suitable material can be used as insulation. To increase the tightness of the container, a sealing gasket (14) is installed on the cover (2) of the housing (1), which is located on the periphery of the contact with the side walls of the housing. A bactericidal lamp (15) is installed on the wall inside the container.

The container is installed on the balcony. The vegetables are loaded at ambient temperature of an unheated cool room, or in the autumn on balconies. Due to the curvilinearity of the profile of the walls (11) and (11 '), the surface area of the wall for flowing around with the air in the container increases and thus the large surface of the fruit and vegetable products placed in the loading section is in contact with the air. Ventilation of the internal volume of the container with the box (6) is carried out naturally at the moments of opening the lid (2).

The presence of several loading sections allows you to simultaneously store fruits or vegetables of various kinds, which are allowed for joint storage.
