Description

Dispositivo para la ventilación de productos almacenados en cajas. Device for ventilation of products stored in boxes.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo para la ventilación de productos almacenados en cajas, siendo aplicable a cualquier tipo de producto alimenticio, ya sean verduras, frutas, crustáceos, etc., y que requieran una ventilación para alargar sus condiciones de conservación. The present invention relates to a device for the ventilation of products stored in boxes, being applicable to any type of food product, be they vegetables, fruits, crustaceans, etc., and that require ventilation to extend their storage conditions.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir que productos contenidos en una pluralidad de cajas apiladas, puedan ser ventilados simultáneamente de forma totalmente eficaz. The object of the invention is to ensure that products contained in a plurality of stacked boxes can be simultaneously ventilated in a totally efficient manner.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como es sabido, las cajas de verduras, frutas y similares, así como las de crustáceos y otras, suelen tener ventanas para permitir una ventilación del contenido, es decir del producto interior, pero cuya ventilación lógicamente es una ventilación natural y muy poco eficaz, ya que unas cajas tapan a otras y lógicamente las pequeñas ventanas que tienen en los laterales no son suficientes para conseguir una adecuada ventilación. As is known, the boxes of vegetables, fruits and the like, as well as those of crustaceans and others, usually have windows to allow a ventilation of the content, that is to say of the interior product, but whose ventilation is logically a natural and very inefficient ventilation, since some boxes cover others and logically the small windows that they have on the sides are not enough to get adequate ventilation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El dispositivo que se preconiza ha sido concebido para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, ya que permite ventilar de forma óptima y eficaz todos los productos contenidos en una pluralidad de cajas apiladas entre si, y cuyos productos, como ya se ha dicho, pueden ser verduras, frutas, mallas de crustáceos o moluscos en su concha, etc. The device that has been recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, since it allows to optimally and efficiently ventilate all the products contained in a plurality of boxes stacked together, and whose products, as already said, can be vegetables , fruits, crustacean or shellfish meshes in its shell, etc.

Más concretamente, el dispositivo de la invención se constituye a partir de un palet sobre cuya superficie superior va fijada de forma integral una estructura a modo de caja con un motor generador de una corriente de aire, bien de absorción o bien de impulsión, con una toma de corriente eléctrica para el funcionamiento del motor. More specifically, the device of the invention is constituted from a pallet on whose upper surface a box-like structure is fixed integrally with a motor generating an air current, either absorbing or driving, with a electrical outlet for motor operation.

En esa estructura en forma de caja, las paredes laterales son cerradas, así como la pared inferior, mientras que la pared superior está preferentemente materializada por una rejilla a través de la cual puede salir el aire o sustraer el mismo para el desplazamiento vertical de éste y hacer pasar dicho aire a través de una pluralidad de cajas llenas de cualquier tipo de producto de los anteriormente referidos, de manera tal que la rejilla prevista como parte superior de la estructura del generador de corriente de aire, estará suficientemente rigidizada para permitir el apilamiento ordenado de varias pilas de cajas contenedoras de producto, debiendo estar estas cajas en todos los casos afectadas en su base de ventanas u orificios para permitir el paso del aire, mientras que lateralmente han de ser cerradas para evitar que el aire se escape por esos laterales y sea obligado a circular en vertical a través de las cajas y por lo tanto a través de los productos contenidos en las mismas. In that box-shaped structure, the side walls are closed, as well as the lower wall, while the upper wall is preferably materialized by a grid through which the air can escape or subtract it for its vertical displacement. and passing said air through a plurality of boxes filled with any type of product of the aforementioned, such that the grid provided as a top part of the structure of the air flow generator, will be sufficiently stiffened to allow stacking ordered of several stacks of product containing boxes, these boxes must be in all cases affected in their base of windows or holes to allow the passage of air, while laterally they have to be closed to prevent air from escaping from those sides and be forced to circulate vertically through the boxes and therefore through the products contained therein s.

Es decir, el aire, ya sea aspirado o impulsado por parte el generador de corriente de aire, es forzado a circular en dirección vertical, dependiendo de si el generador de aire es de extracción o de expulsión. That is, the air, whether aspirated or driven by the air current generator, is forced to circulate in a vertical direction, depending on whether the air generator is extraction or expulsion.

Finalmente decir que la base que constituye la base superior de la estructura del generador de corriente de aire, con sus refuerzos, debe tener una amplitud que se ajuste al tamaño de las cajas, es decir que será múltiplo del contorno de las cajas destinadas al apilamiento sobre esa estructura, para permitir el aprovechamiento total del aire generado y hacer que dicho flujo de aire salga por la parte superior o inferior, habiendo pasado por todo el producto que se pretende ventilar. Finally, to say that the base that constitutes the upper base of the structure of the air current generator, with its reinforcements, must have an amplitude that fits the size of the boxes, that is to say that it will be a multiple of the outline of the boxes destined for stacking on that structure, to allow the total use of the generated air and make said air flow out through the upper or lower part, having passed through all the product that is intended to ventilate.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Como se puede ver en las figuras referidas, el dispositivo de la invención se constituye a partir de un palet (1) de tipo convencional, sobre cuya superficie superior va solidarizada una estructura (2) a modo de caja, de laterales cerrados, y en su interior un motor (3) de extracción o expulsión de aire, con su correspondiente toma exterior, es decir constitutivo de un sistema generador de una corriente de aire, bien de impulsión o bien de extracción, que saldrá verticalmente hacia arriba a través de una rejilla (4) dispuesta como parte superior de la estructura de caja (2), rejilla (4) que se complementa con unos travesaños o tirantes (5) de rigidización de la misma, al objeto de permitir que sobre tal rejilla (4) puedan disponerse y ser soportadas una pluralidad de pilas de cajas (6) contenedoras de los productos que se pretenden ventilar. As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the device of the invention is constituted from a pallet (1) of conventional type, on whose upper surface a structure (2) in a box-like manner, with closed sides, and in which inside a motor (3) for extracting or expelling air, with its corresponding external outlet, that is to say constituting a system that generates an air flow, either a drive or an extraction, which will rise vertically upwards through a grid (4) arranged as the upper part of the box structure (2), grid (4) that is complemented by stiffeners or struts (5) for stiffening it, in order to allow on such grid (4) can dispose and be supported a plurality of stacks of boxes (6) containing the products to be ventilated.

El motor (3) generador del aire presenta la correspondiente toma de corriente eléctrica (7) para su funcionamiento. The air generator motor (3) has the corresponding electrical outlet (7) for its operation.

Pues bien, cuando una pluralidad de cajas (6) apiladas entre si formando distintos bloques de apilamiento, se disponen sobre la base que constituye la rejilla (4) de la estructura de caja (2), el producto contenido en esas cajas, siempre que éstas presenten su superficie lateral totalmente cerrad y la base con ventanas o aberturas, será perfectamente ventilado por la circulación del aire que circulará en sentido ascendente o descendente, según sea expulsión o extracción el aire producido, ya que ese aire no tiene mas remedio que circular en sentido ascendente o descendente al estar cerradas las cajas por sus laterales, como se representa en las figuras 2 y 3. Well, when a plurality of boxes (6) stacked together forming different stacking blocks, they are arranged on the base that constitutes the grid (4) of the box structure (2), the product contained in those boxes, provided that these have their lateral surface completely closed and the base with windows or openings, will be perfectly ventilated by the circulation of the air that will circulate in ascending or descending direction, depending on whether the air produced is expelled or extracted, since that air has no choice but to circulate in ascending or descending direction when the boxes are closed by their sides, as shown in figures 2 and 3.

Por lo tanto se trata de un dispositivo de gran sencillez estructural, económico en su fabricación y eficaz en su función, puesto que con un solo motor generador de aire es posible ventilar gran cantidad de producto contenido en cajas (6) convenientemente apiladas sobre la superficie que determina la rejilla (4) superior de la estructura de caja (2) del dispositivo. Therefore it is a device of great structural simplicity, economical in its manufacture and effective in its function, since with a single air generating motor it is possible to ventilate a large amount of product contained in boxes (6) conveniently stacked on the surface which determines the upper grid (4) of the box structure (2) of the device.
