[0015] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0016] In the description of the present invention, if there is a description of first and second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0017] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a net bag overlapping device for apples of the present invention comprises a sleeve 1, the outside of the sleeve 1 is slidably equipped with a plurality of connecting rod mechanisms through a plurality of tension springs 9, the lower end of each connecting rod mechanism is equipped with an inwardly curved arc claw 7, and a motor 11 is arranged on the side of the sleeve 1.

[0019] When the motor 11 drives the sleeve 1 to rotate to a horizontal position, the net bag can be put on the sleeve 1 through the net bag transmission mechanism of the previous process. Then the motor 11 drives the sleeve 1 to rotate to a vertical position. At this time, the apple falls from the upper end of the sleeve 1, and multiple arc-shaped claws 7 are opened, and the net bag 2 will gradually be put on the surface of the apple.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, in an apple net bag overlapping device of the present invention, a plurality of upper connecting seats 2 are arranged on the outer edge of the upper end of the sleeve 1, and the upper end of the tension spring 9 is connected to the upper connecting seat 2.

[0021] The lower end of the tension spring 9 is connected to the connecting rod mechanism. During the falling process of the apple, the multiple arc-shaped claws 7 and the connecting rod mechanism move downward, and the tension spring 9 is in a stretched state. After the apple is finished falling, the multiple arc-shaped claws 7 are reset under the action of gravity, and at the same time, the tension spring 9 recovers its deformation, so that the connecting rod mechanism is reset.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, in a net bag splicing device for apples of the present invention, a plurality of slide rails 10 are evenly distributed along the axial direction on the outer wall of the sleeve 1, a slider 5 is sleeved on the slide rail 10, two adjacent sliders 5 are connected by an arc-shaped member 6, a middle connecting seat 3 is provided on the side of the slider 5, and a plurality of connecting rod mechanisms are assembled on the corresponding middle connecting seat 3.

[0023] The multiple sliders 5 are connected by the arc-shaped member 6 to form a whole, which can ensure that the multiple connecting rod mechanisms slide up and down together to prevent local tilting.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in a net bag overlapping device for apples of the present invention, a plurality of lower connecting seats 8 are arranged on the outer edge of the lower end of the sleeve 1, and the connecting rod mechanism includes a first connecting rod 4 and a second connecting rod 12, the upper end of the first connecting rod 4 is hinged in the corresponding middle connecting seat 3, the lower end of the first connecting rod 4 is hinged to the upper end of the second connecting rod 12, the lower end of the second connecting rod 12 is hinged in the lower connecting seat 8, and the upper end of the arc-shaped claw 7 is hinged to the lower end of the second connecting rod 12.

[0025] When the feeding mechanism puts the net bag on, the motor 11 drives the sleeve 1 to rotate to a horizontal state, and the multiple arc-shaped claws 7 move closer to each other under the action of gravity. At this time, the net bag transmission mechanism can put the net bag on the multiple arc-shaped claws 7, and then the motor 11 drives the sleeve 1 to rotate to a vertical state. The apple falls into the sleeve 1, and under the action of the gravity of the apple, the multiple arc-shaped claws 7 will be stretched open. At this time, the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 12 are forced to drive the slider 5 to move downward, so that the tension spring 9 is in a stretched state. When the apple falls from the multiple arc-shaped claws 7, the net bag will be put on the apple. Thereafter, the tension spring 9 restores its deformation, and the slider 5 moves up and resets. The arc-shaped claws 7 will also be in a close state again under the action of their own gravity and the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 12, ready for the next apple to be put on the net bag.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in a mesh bag lap joint device for apples of the present invention, the number of connecting rod mechanisms is four, and the number of corresponding slide rails 10 is also four, and the four connecting rod mechanisms and the four slide rails are distributed at 90 degrees.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in a net bag overlapping device for apples of the present invention, the motor 11 is a stepping motor, which is convenient for precise control.

[0028] Therefore, compared with the prior art, the net bag overlapping device for apples of the present invention can cover the net bag on the sleeve. When the apples fall from the top of the sleeve, the apples will be covered by the net bag, which reduces the degree of manual participation, greatly improves the production efficiency, and has a good prospect for market promotion and use.

[0029] The above description shows and describes several preferred embodiments of the invention, but as mentioned above, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the invention concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field.
