Description

CAJA APILABLE Y ENCASTRABLE PARA ALMACENAMIENTO Y TRANSPORTE DE FRUTOS DELICADOS STACKABLE AND FITTING BOX FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION OF DELICATE FRUITS
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a una caja apilable para almacenamiento y transporte de frutos delicados, tales como arándanos, pero también cualquier otro fruto de reducida altura y que no soporte gran peso sin aplastarse. The present invention refers to a stackable box for storing and transporting delicate fruits, such as blueberries, but also any other fruit that is small in height and does not support a lot of weight without being crushed.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad se conocen unas cajas apila les para almacenamiento y transporte de frutos que están materializadas en plástico, y que comprenden un seno de carga troncopiramidal y un borde estructural superior cuadrangular y sobresaliente lateralmente hacia el exterior, comprendiendo el seno resaltes asimétricos perimetrales interiores para determinar una posición de apilado en carga, donde los resaltes se ubican no coincidentes posicionalmente con los de la caja superior, para que los bordes superiores de dichos resaltes queden apoyados en la cara exterior del fondo del seno de carga de la caja superior, y otra posición de embonado donde los resaltes de las cajas quedan en coincidencia positional para introducirse en el seno de carga de la caja superior y reducir la altura del apilamiento con las cajas vacías. Currently, stacking boxes are known for storing and transporting fruits that are made of plastic, and that comprise a truncated-pyramidal load sine and a quadrangular upper structural edge that protrudes laterally towards the outside, the sine comprising interior asymmetrical perimeter projections to determine a loaded stacking position, where the projections are located not positionally coincident with those of the upper box, so that the upper edges of said projections are supported on the outer face of the bottom of the loading chest of the upper box, and another packing position where the projections of the boxes are in positional coincidence to enter the loading cavity of the upper box and reduce the stacking height with the empty boxes.
Estas cajas, sin embargo, tienen una altura considerable para aumentar la capacidad de almacenamiento, pero esto hace que determinados frutos delicados se compacten y aplasten por el peso de sus propias capas en altura. Por ello, para el transporte de este tipo de frutos deben llenarse poco, por lo que su altura deja mucho espacio entre el producto y la base de la bandeja que se coloca encima del mismo al apilarse, y cuanto mayor es el espacio vacío transportado en un pallet o en un contenedor, mayor es el costo por kilo de producto y mayor el impacto en la huella de carbono, lo que las hace ineficientes en el transporte. These boxes, however, have a considerable height to increase storage capacity, but this causes certain delicate fruits to become compacted and crushed by the weight of their own layers in height. Therefore, to transport this type of fruit they must be filled little, so their height leaves a lot of space between the product and the base of the tray that is placed on top of it when stacked, and the greater the empty space transported in a pallet or in a container, the higher the cost per kilo of product and the greater the impact on the carbon footprint, which makes them inefficient in transportation.
DESCRIPCION DE LA INVENCION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La caja apilable para almacenamiento y transporte de frutos delicados de la invención que están materializadas en plástico, y que comprenden un seno de carga troncopiramidal y un borde estructural superior cuadrangular y sobresaliente lateralmente hacia el exterior, comprendiendo el seno resaltes asimétricos perimetrales interiores para determinar una posición de apilado en carga, donde los resaltes se ubican no coincidentes posicionalmente con los de la caja superior, para que los bordes superiores de dichos resaltes queden apoyados en la cara exterior del fondo del seno de carga de la caja superior, y otra posición de embonado donde los resaltes de las cajas quedan en coincidencia positional para introducirse en el seno de carga de la caja superior y reducir la altura del apilamiento con las cajas vacías, donde de acuerdo con la invención, la altura del seno se encuentra comprendida entre 45 y 60 milímetros. The stackable box for storage and transport of delicate fruits of the invention that are made of plastic, and that comprise a truncated pyramidal loading chest and an edge upper structural quadrangular and laterally projecting outwards, the sine comprising interior asymmetrical perimeter projections to determine a loaded stacking position, where the projections are located not positionally coinciding with those of the upper box, so that the upper edges of said projections are supported on the exterior face of the bottom of the loading cavity of the upper box, and another position of insertion where the projections of the boxes are in positional coincidence to be introduced into the loading cavity of the upper box and reduce the height of the stacking with the empty boxes, where according to the invention, the height of the breast is between 45 and 60 millimeters.
Con ello se consigue la ventaja de evitar el aplastamiento del fruto por llenado excesivo, pero además se han encontrado las siguientes ventajas: This achieves the advantage of avoiding crushing of the fruit due to excessive filling, but the following advantages have also been found:
• Este diseño permite economizar en su transporte. Al encastrarlas vacías (al embonarlas), el número de cajas que pueden transportarse dentro de un camión o contenedor es 5 a 7 veces mayor al de las cajas estándar utilizadas en el mercado. • This design allows you to save on transportation. By packing them empty (when packing them), the number of boxes that can be transported inside a truck or container is 5 to 7 times greater than that of the standard boxes used on the market.
• Este nuevo diseño permite una reducción en la producción de plástico para transporte de arándanos a granel ya que son reutilizables. • This new design allows a reduction in the production of plastic for transporting blueberries in bulk since they are reusable.
• Se reduce significativamente el impacto en la huella de carbono. Por su alta relación de compactación de volumen, 5 a 7 camiones o contenedores de bandejas con producto pueden retornar a su lugar de origen en un solo camión en vez de los 5 a 7 que actualmente se utilizan en los tramos cortos (hasta 1-2 días de tránsito). Cabe destacar que, en tramos de tránsito largos (una o más semanas), las cajas plásticas actuales son descartadas o recicladas en lugar de reutilizarse. Para algunos orígenes y destinos (por ejemplo: desde el Puerto de Paita en Perú al Puerto de Rotterdam en los Países Bajos) desechar las cajas y comprarlas nuevas es más económico que retornarlas a origen. • The impact on the carbon footprint is significantly reduced. Due to its high volume compaction ratio, 5 to 7 trucks or tray containers with product can return to their place of origin in a single truck instead of the 5 to 7 that are currently used in short sections (up to 1-2 transit days). It should be noted that, during long transit periods (one or more weeks), current plastic boxes are discarded or recycled instead of reused. For some origins and destinations (for example: from the Port of Paita in Peru to the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands) discarding the boxes and buying new ones is cheaper than returning them to origin.
• Esta relación de encastrado o embonado de al menos 5 a 1, reduce significativamente el espacio necesario en las plantas de envasado de arándanos. Actualmente, durante los picos de temporada y procesamiento de la fruta, se generan cuellos de botella de producción más lenta en estas instalaciones a causa de no tener suficiente espacio de almacenamiento para las cajas plásticas vacías. Este diseño resuelve o mitiga de manera importante este problema. Para dar dimensión de esta complicación, existen plantas de procesamiento y empacado que reciben tientos de contenedores en una misma semana. Esto sucede durante al menos 4 a 6 semanas durante el pico de temporada. Esto requiere que las compañías envasadoras dimensionen sus instalaciones en base a ese volumen máximo que ocuparán las cajas vacías. Espacio que se reduciría con este nuevo diseño. • This embedding or embedding ratio of at least 5 to 1 significantly reduces the space needed in blueberry packaging plants. Currently, during seasonal and fruit processing peaks, slower production bottlenecks are generated at these facilities due to not having enough storage space for empty plastic boxes. This design significantly solves or mitigates this problem. To give dimension to this complication, there are processing and packaging plants that receive shipments of containers in the same week. This happens for at least 4 to 6 weeks during peak season. This requires packaging companies to size their facilities based on the maximum volume that empty boxes will occupy. Space that would be reduced with this new design.
• En este mismo sentido, se reduce la capacidad necesaria, medida en el número de puertas para que las cajas vacías sean cargadas en camiones y retiradas de las instalaciones. Hoy día esto también genera cuellos de botella en el proceso productivo durante las semanas en pico de temporada. Este nuevo diseño mitiga o resuelve este inconveniente. • In this same sense, the necessary capacity is reduced, measured in the number of doors so that empty boxes can be loaded onto trucks and removed from the facilities. Today This also creates bottlenecks in the production process during the peak weeks of the season. This new design mitigates or resolves this drawback.
• Alta compactación en el encastrado. • High compaction in the embedding.
• Al ir llenas de fruta y apiladas, se comportan como una bandeja estándar de mercado. • When filled with fruit and stacked, they behave like a standard market tray.
• Soportan la carga de toda la pila de bandejas (150kg total), asegurando estabilidad estructural desde la bandeja superior a la inferior. • They support the load of the entire stack of trays (150kg total), ensuring structural stability from the upper tray to the lower one.
• Mantienen una buena ventilación para un correcto y rápido proceso de enfriamiento, transporte y almacenamiento. • They maintain good ventilation for a correct and rapid cooling, transportation and storage process.
• De forma general, los espesores y ángulos utilizados permiten el encastre profundo de las bandejas, de alrededor del 85% de solapamiento. • In general, the thicknesses and angles used allow for deep interlocking of the trays, with around 85% overlap.
• Mediante la muy característica y única forma, dimensión, cantidad y distribución de los soportes, y fondo de la bandeja, se logra la estabilidad estructural, ventilación y características mecánicas buscadas. • Through the very characteristic and unique shape, dimension, quantity and distribution of the supports, and bottom of the tray, the desired structural stability, ventilation and mechanical characteristics are achieved.
• Consiguen gran ergonomía de agarre y manipulación. • They achieve great grip and handling ergonomics.
• Maximizan la capacidad de carga. • Maximize load capacity.
• Permite su fabricación en gran volumen y velocidad, minimizando la complejidad de matriz y máquina necesaria. • Allows manufacturing in high volume and speed, minimizing the complexity of the die and machine required.
• Contienen el producto sin afectar su condición (sin dañarlo). • They contain the product without affecting its condition (without damaging it).
• Se asegura su durabilidad y robustez. • Its durability and robustness are ensured.
Pueden tener dimensiones de ancho y largo similares a las actuales de mercado: 50 centímetros x 30 centímetros y 60 centímetros x 40 centímetros o de cualquier otra dimensión. They can have width and length dimensions similar to those currently on the market: 50 centimeters x 30 centimeters and 60 centimeters x 40 centimeters or any other dimension.
