Containers for storing agricultural products

The present invention relates to a container for storing agricultural products, and more particularly, to a container for storing agricultural products, which can store harvested agricultural products in a warehouse for a long time, and is easy to transport and manage.

Farmers usually manage agricultural products by harvesting them and storing them in storage warehouses and then shipping them at one time or only as needed.

In general, grains that are easy to store (rice, barley, beans, etc.) are harvested after being dried in the natural state, and have been stored by further drying in the natural state for long-term storage.

Conventionally, the above operations have been carried out by manpower, but now both harvesting and drying are carried out by machines, and the storage of grains is also stored in a warehouse equipped with air conditioning facilities, thereby reducing the costs associated with harvesting, drying and storage and increasing efficiency. Storage systems are developing.

Fruits (apples, pears, sweet persimmons, etc.), which can be stored for a long time and are relatively difficult to mechanize, are harvested in plastic boxes, transported to warehouses, and stored in boxes. It is perforated to allow some air permeability within the warehouse and improve storage.

However, horticultural crops (garlic, onion, cabbage, etc.), which are relatively inexpensive with less storage capacity than the above items, do not develop mechanization of the working process, and the storage method is stored in pallets and piled up by manpower on the pallet. Since the flow of cold air depends on the convection method, since the cold air is not uniformly supplied to the inside of the stored matter, a lot of agricultural products are decayed over time, and the merchandise is deteriorated.

In the conventional case, because the structure is vented through natural convection, the warehouse must be installed in a well-ventilated place, and thus there are many restrictions in selecting the location of the warehouse.
