Abstract

FIELD: packaging industry.

SUBSTANCE: device for transporting fruit and vegetable products comprises a container with a lid, made of non-rigid material having damping properties. The inner and outer surfaces of the lid have a honeycomb shape. In the lid the holes are made, in which the rubber bands extend, which end with rings designed for putting on L-shaped pins of the container. The pins are mounted on the side surfaces of the container under the holes of the lid in several horizontal rows, which enables to strain the bands with the lid closed, throwing the rings from the pins of one row to the other.

EFFECT: invention provides reduction of damage of products, and the adjustable straining of the bands prevents their movement inside the container during transportation both in case of incomplete filling of the container, and depending on the irregularities of the road.

Description

The invention relates to food technology and can be used when transporting fresh fruits and vegetables.

A known container, including an external fence in the form of rigidly connected frames, to which the enclosing elements are attached in the form of rigid rods [1].

The disadvantages of this device include the high damageability of products during transportation.

Closest to the proposed technical solution is a container for preparing fruits for transportation and storage, including a perforated outer fence with a bottom and a lid [2], in which the outer fence is made in the form of a truncated pyramid, and a removable rod is pulled over the bottom on removable rods with stops at the ends endless reflective panel, the cover is made in the form of removable pins with clamps, while the latter is made in the form of a pointed element connected to the pin using an axis, and in opposite walls x fences are made at the lower and upper edges of the hole, while the holes at the lower edge are made in a curved shape formed by two circles of different diameters located one above the other, the diameter of the lower of which is equal to the diameter of the rod, and the diameter of the upper is the diameter of the stops, and the removable pins are made with the possibility of placement in the holes at the upper edge, removable rods in the holes at the lower edge.

The disadvantages of this device include the increased trauma of the product during installation and, especially, the fixation of the cover.

The present invention is aimed at reducing the trauma of the transported cargo. Essence: the reduction in injuries is achieved by making the lid of the container a cellular shape, while the size and shape of the cells correspond to the size and shape of the transported cargo, the lid material has damping properties, for example rubber, foam rubber, etc., and the fastening mechanism with adjustable interference allows you to achieve the necessary seal cargo, not allowing it to move inside the container during transportation, including one fruit relative to another.

This is achieved by the fact that in the device for transporting fruits and vegetables containing a container, including a perforated outer fence with a bottom and a lid, mounted on the container, according to the invention, the lid is made of non-rigid material with damping properties, and its inner and outer surfaces are cellular while fixing the cover is carried out by elastic rubber bands, passing in the holes made in its body, and having at the ends of the ring, worn on -shaped pins mounted to the side surfaces of the container openings under the lid in several horizontal rows, which allows the interference with the lid closed tows, tows throwing ring with one row of pins to another.

This embodiment of the device reduces the trauma of the transported cargo due to its distribution in the cells of the lid and adjustable non-rigid contact with it.

A comparable analysis with the prototype shows that the claimed device for stabilizing the position of the vehicle body meets the criterion of "novelty", as it has significant differences from the prototype: the cover is made of non-rigid material with damping properties; the inner and outer surfaces of the lid have a cellular structure; the fastening mechanism is an elastic rubber tow, passing in the holes made in the body of the lid, and having rings at the ends, worn on L-shaped pins mounted on the side surfaces of the container under the openings of the lid in several horizontal rows.

The technical result from the use of the device is to reduce the trauma of the transported cargo, for example apples, due to their distribution in the completed cells of the lid, and not on the plane - as in the prototype. At the same time, due to the use of non-rigid material of the lid, for example, foam rubber or rubber, as well as elastic rubber harnesses of the fastening mechanism with an adjustable interference fit (depending on the attachment points of the pins on the container), the necessary load compaction is achieved, which does not allow it to move inside the container during transportation, in including one fetus relative to another.

Figure 1 presents a General view of a device for transporting fruits and vegetables:

1 - container:

2 - fruits;

3 - cover (A - surface with a large cell, B - surface with a small cell);

4 - hole;

5 - rubber bands;

6 - rings:

7 - pins.

Figure 2 presents a longitudinal section of the cover (the same designations).

Figure 3 presents a side view of the device (the same notation).

The device consists (Fig. 1) of a container 1 filled with fruits and vegetables 2, which is covered from above with a lid 3 having a honeycomb surface shape: surface A is for large fruits, surface B is for small fruits. In the cover 3, holes 4 are made, inside of which there are rubber tows 5, ending with rings 6, intended to be put on the L-shaped pins 7 of the container 1 (Fig. 2). The pins 7 are installed on the lateral surfaces of the container 1 under the openings 4 of the lid 3 in several horizontal rows under each other along the entire length of the container 1, which allows tightening of the harnesses 5 with the lid 3 closed, transferring the rings 6 from the pins 7 of one row to another (Fig. 3 ) Adjustable tightness of the harnesses 5 allows to transport the fruits 2 both when the container 1 is incomplete (to the height of the lid 3) and depending on the roughness of the road along which the transportation takes place.

The device operates as follows: fruit and vegetable products are loaded into container 1. Depending on the size of fruits 2, cover 3 covers them with side A or side B - for large fruits, a large cell (side A) is used, for small fruits - side B. Due to the nonrigidity of the material lids 3, made of, for example, foam rubber, cells of the surface A or B of the lid 3 tightly cover the fruits 2. On one side of the container 1, the rings 6 of the bundles 5 extending in the holes 4 of the lid 3 are put on the L-shaped pins 7, mounted on outer on top bristle container 1. After that, the opposite side of the container 1, the ring 6 bundles 5 are placed on the T-shaped pins 7, one of the series so as to ensure the tightness of bundles 5, preventing movement of the horticultural products 2 within the container 1 during transportation. In this case, if the container 1 is incomplete (but not more than the height of the lid 3) or if the road is poor, the tightness of the harnesses 5 can be increased by putting the rings 6 on the lower row of pins 7.

Unloading is provided in the reverse order: the rings 6 of the bundles 5 are removed from the pins 7 on one side of the container 1, and the lid 3 is removed or tilted to unload the container 1.

Compared with the prototype, the container is more convenient in operation, more reliable and allows the best way to implement the method of transporting fruits.

Laboratory experiments conducted with a cover simulator (egg-cell packaging) showed high product safety under the application of the vibration load characteristic of transporting products from the field to the warehouse.
