Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a fruit storage bag.

(Prior Art) In conventional fruit storage bags, fruits are stored one by one in a small bag to maintain quality, or several fruits are placed in a large bag for organization.

(Problem to be solved by this invention) This invention has an escalator that mechanically lowers the picked fruit from the tree to the ground without damage during harvesting, instead of simply preserving the quality and organizing the fruit as in the past. The purpose is to have a similar function.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention has a groove with a cross-sectional area that can accommodate the target fruit, covers the upper surface of the groove, and has fruit receiving holes of a size and spacing that allow each fruit to be inserted. ceiling,
A long product having a conveying flange that protrudes both edges of the ceiling to both sides, and a partition that connects the ceiling and the bottom of the groove at the front and back of the fruit receiving hole,
The fruit storage bag is characterized in that, before receiving the fruit, both sides of the groove and the partition are folded to form a flat strip shape in which the bottom of the groove can be in contact with the ceiling.

(Function) The fruit storage bag of this invention is a long product consisting of four parts: a groove, a ceiling with holes, a conveying flange, and a partition between the holes, and a groove-shaped internal space separated by the front and rear partitions. They are arranged one after another, each forming a chamber that can accommodate one fruit.

There is a fruit receiving hole in the ceiling of each room, and there are conveying flanges that extend out from both sides of the ceiling, and the fruit is dropped into the ceiling by holding down both flanges. If you send the flange as is, you will be able to send out the received fruits in bags.

(Embodiment) Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of this invention, in which 1 is a groove, 2 is a ceiling, 3 is a fruit receiving hole, 4 is a conveying flange, and 5 is a partition.

Before receiving the fruit, both sides 1a of the groove 1 and the partition 5 are folded into a bellows shape with pre-made creases x, and the groove bottom 1b and the ceiling 2 are almost in contact with each other into a flat band shape. Therefore, this can be wound to form a winding roll R as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows a state where the roll R is pulled out from the guide roller 6 and the grooved portion 1 begins to expand downward due to gravity.

In FIG. 4, the roll R of the storage bag is attached to the lower part of the fruit harvesting machine 7 so that it can be unwound, and then passed through the guide roller 6.
The bag is pulled out with the conveying flange 4 interposed between the circulation belt 8 and the holding roller 9 (see FIG. 5), and the fruit A, which has been cut off at a fruit picking section (not shown), is received into the bag.

Of course, the bag is intermittently fed by the circulation belt 8 so that each receiving hole 3 of the bag stops at the point where the fruit A falls.

The fruit A is received by the partitions 5, 5 at the front and rear of each chamber and the groove part 1, and is sequentially sent to the ground by the descending hose 1.
Descend within 0.

Although one embodiment has been described above, it goes without saying that this invention can be modified and applied as appropriate by the designer according to the implementation conditions without changing the gist of the invention. Although it has been stated that the side surfaces of the grooved portion and the partitions are initially folded, this does not mean that they are always folded in a correct manner, and may be in a crushed shape. The fruit-receiving hole may be a mere cutout, and may be a hole that is pushed open by the force of the fruit falling into it.

The other parts of the ceiling and the conveying flange may be made of a soft material such as a resin film.

Furthermore, the purpose of use of this invention is not limited to harvesting fruits on trees.

Furthermore, perforations may be provided along the flanges 4 on both sides to mesh with teeth provided on the circulation belt 8 and rollers 9.

(Effect of the invention) The fruit storage bag of this invention has a fruit receiving hole in the ceiling of a long product with a long groove, partitions are placed in the front and back of the hole, and conveyance flanges are attached on both sides of the ceiling. Grasp the fruit and drop the fruit into it.
By sending this, the fruit can be lowered to the ground like an escalator, a function previously unimaginable for a storage bag.

In addition, in the storage bag of this invention, both sides of the groove and the partitions of each storage chamber are foldable, so the bottom of the groove and the ceiling are almost in contact, forming a flat strip. It is also very practical because it can be prepared as a take-up roll, unwound as necessary, supported by the conveyance flange, and pulled out so that the fruit can be received at any time.
