Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fruit processing technology, and in particular to a fruit slicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] To make them easier to eat, some fruits need to be sliced. During processing, some fruits will be cut into slices that meet the requirements, while others will not be cut due to improper placement or handling.

[0003] Existing fruit slicing machines collect both fruit slices and unsliced ​​fruit in the same container, requiring manual sorting to separate the fruit from the slices, which greatly reduces production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a fruit slicing machine that eliminates the need for manual sorting of fruits and fruit slices to improve production efficiency.

[0005] A fruit slicing machine includes a feeding device for transporting fruit, a sorting device located on one side of the feeding device for dispersing and sorting the fruit, a slicing device located on the side of the sorting device away from the feeding device for slicing the fruit, and a sorting and collecting device corresponding to the slicing device. The slicing device has a slicing device outlet on the side away from the sorting device.

[0006] The sorting and collecting device includes a fruit slice collection mechanism, a fruit return mechanism, and a sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism is movable relative to the discharge port of the slicing device to switch between a collection state and a return state. When the sorting mechanism is in the collection state, the fruit slices on the slicing device are discharged through the discharge port of the slicing device and slide down to the fruit slice collection mechanism. When the sorting mechanism is in the return state, the fruit on the slicing device is discharged from the discharge port of the slicing device and guided by the sorting mechanism to slide down to the fruit return mechanism.

[0007] In some embodiments, the sorting mechanism includes a sorting chute and a sorting drive connected to the sorting chute, the sorting drive being used to drive the sorting chute to move relative to the slicing device outlet to switch between the material collection state and the material return state.

[0008] In some embodiments, the fruit slice collection mechanism is located below the slicing device outlet and vertically spaced from the slicing device outlet. The fruit return mechanism and the sorting mechanism are located between the fruit slice collection mechanism and the sorting mechanism. The sorting drive can drive the sorting chute to extend or retract from between the slicing device outlet and the fruit slice collection mechanism to switch between the return state and the collection state.

[0009] In some embodiments, the number of slicing devices is multiple, and the multiple slicing devices are arranged sequentially in the same direction. The fruit slice collection mechanism includes a fruit slice collection conveyor belt, and the fruit return mechanism includes a fruit return conveyor belt. The fruit slice collection conveyor belt and the fruit return conveyor belt move in the direction in which the multiple slicing devices are arranged.

[0010] In some embodiments, the feeding device includes a feeding hopper for receiving the fruit and a lifting conveyor belt partially located within the feeding hopper to transport the fruit in the feeding hopper to the sorting device, the lifting conveyor belt having a plurality of spaced-apart baffles along its direction of movement.

[0011] In some embodiments, the feeding device includes a multi-stage linear vibrator group and a multi-stage differential conveyor belt group located on the side of the multi-stage linear vibrator group away from the feeding device. The multi-stage linear vibrator group is used to receive the fruit from the feeding device and transport the fruit to the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group. The multi-stage differential conveyor belt group is used to transport the fruit from the multi-stage linear vibrator group to the slicing device.

[0012] In some embodiments, the multi-stage linear vibrator group includes a first-stage linear vibrator, a second-stage linear vibrator, and a third-stage linear vibrator arranged in a stepped manner. The first-stage linear vibrator is used to receive the fruit from the feeding device and transport the fruit to the second-stage linear vibrator.

[0013] The second-stage linear vibrator is located below the first-stage linear vibrator at one end near the feeding device, for receiving the fruit from the first-stage linear vibrator and transporting the fruit to the third-stage linear vibrator.

[0014] The end of the third-stage linear vibrator away from the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group is located below the end of the second-stage linear vibrator away from the first-stage linear vibrator, so as to receive the fruit from the second-stage linear vibrator and transport the fruit to the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group.

[0015] In some embodiments, a first sensor is installed on the first-stage linear vibrator, the second-stage linear vibrator and the third-stage linear vibrator respectively. When the first sensor on the first-stage linear vibrator detects that the fruit is present on the first-stage linear vibrator, the feeding device stops transporting the fruit to the first-stage linear vibrator.

[0016] When the first sensor on the second-stage linear vibrator detects the presence of the fruit on the second-stage linear vibrator, the first-stage linear vibrator stops transporting the fruit to the second-stage linear vibrator.

[0017] When the first sensor on the third-stage linear vibrator detects the presence of the fruit on the third-stage linear vibrator, the second-stage linear vibrator stops transporting the fruit to the third-stage linear vibrator.

[0018] In some embodiments, the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group includes a first-stage differential conveyor belt and a second-stage differential conveyor belt located on the side of the first-stage differential conveyor belt away from the multi-stage linear vibrator group. The first-stage differential conveyor belt is used to receive the fruit from the multi-stage linear vibrator group and transport the fruit to the second-stage differential conveyor belt. The rotational speed of the second-stage differential conveyor belt is greater than the rotational speed of the first-stage differential conveyor belt, so as to transport the fruit from the first-stage differential conveyor belt to the slicing device.

[0019] In some embodiments, a second sensor is installed on the first-stage differential conveyor belt and the second-stage differential conveyor belt respectively. When the second sensor on the first-stage differential conveyor belt detects that the fruit is present on the first-stage differential conveyor belt, the multi-stage linear vibrator group stops transporting the fruit to the first-stage differential conveyor belt.

[0020] When the second sensor on the second-stage differential conveyor belt detects the presence of the fruit on the second-stage differential conveyor belt, the first-stage differential conveyor belt stops transporting the fruit to the second-stage differential conveyor belt.

[0021] The present invention provides a fruit slicing machine, which includes a fruit slice collection mechanism, a fruit return mechanism, and a sorting mechanism by setting a classification and collection device. The fruit slices on the slicing device can slide down to the fruit slice collection mechanism through the slicing device outlet, and the fruit on the slicing device is discharged through the slicing device outlet and then slides down to the fruit return mechanism through the sorting mechanism, thereby achieving the effect of classifying the fruit and fruit slices without the need for manual classification and improving production efficiency.

[0032] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship between the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0034] It should also be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, the component may be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides a fruit slicing machine 1, including a feeding device 100, a sorting device 200, a slicing device 300, and a sorting and collecting device 400. The feeding device 100 is used to collect fruits, such as areca nuts, and transport the fruits to the sorting device 200. The sorting device 200 is located on one side of the feeding device 100 and is used to disperse and organize the fruits from the feeding device 100, so as to transport the fruits in an orderly manner to the slicing device 300. The slicing device 300 is located on the side of the sorting device 200 away from the feeding device 100 and is used to slice the fruits transported from the sorting device 200 to form fruit slices. The sorting and collecting device 400 is provided corresponding to the slicing device 300 to sort the fruits and fruit slices from the slicing device 300.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 The feeding device 100 includes a feeding hopper 102 and a lifting conveyor belt 104. The feeding hopper 102 is used to hold fruit. When the fruit in the feeding hopper 102 is insufficient, the user can add fruit to the feeding hopper 102. The lifting conveyor belt 104 is partially located inside the feeding hopper 102. When the lifting conveyor belt 104 is running, it can transport the fruit in the feeding hopper 102 to the sorting device 200. Specifically, the lifting conveyor belt 104 has a conveyor belt outlet 106. One end of the sorting device 200 is located below the conveyor belt outlet 106. When the fruit in the feeding hopper 102 moves with the conveyor belt 104 to the conveyor belt outlet 106, the fruit will fall from the conveyor belt outlet 106 onto the sorting device 200.

[0037] The lifting conveyor belt 104 is provided with multiple spaced-apart baffles 108 along its direction of movement. Specifically, the baffles 108 are arranged parallel to each other at intervals, and the distance between any two adjacent baffles 108 is the same. When the lifting conveyor belt 104 is running, it can collect some of the fruit in the feeding hopper 102 into the space between two adjacent baffles 108. The baffles 108 can support the fruit, allowing the lifting conveyor belt 104 to extract the fruit from the feeding hopper 102 more stably and reliably.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 The material handling device 200 includes a multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 and a multi-stage differential speed conveyor belt group 204. The multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 is arranged corresponding to the lifting conveyor belt 104, with one end located below the conveyor belt outlet 106 to receive fruit from the lifting feeding device 100 and transport the fruit to the multi-stage differential speed conveyor belt group 204. The multi-stage differential speed conveyor belt group 204 is located on the side of the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 away from the feeding device 100, and is used to transport the fruit from the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 to the slicing device 300. Both the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 and the multi-stage differential speed conveyor belt group 204 can disperse and organize the fruit, thus enabling multiple fruits from the lifting conveyor belt 104 to be dispersed into individual fruits with a certain interval and transported in an orderly manner to the slicing device 300.

[0039] The specific number of stages in the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 is not limited. In this embodiment, the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 includes a first-stage linear vibrator 206, a second-stage linear vibrator 208, and a third-stage linear vibrator 210. The second-stage linear vibrator 208 is located between the first-stage linear vibrator 206 and the third-stage linear vibrator 210, and the first-stage linear vibrator 206, the second-stage linear vibrator 208, and the third-stage linear vibrator 210 are arranged in a stepped manner.

[0040] Specifically, the first-stage linear vibrator 206 is located below the conveyor belt outlet 106 to receive fruit from the feeding device 100 and transport the fruit to the second-stage linear vibrator 208. The end of the second-stage linear vibrator 208 closest to the feeding device 100 is located below the first-stage linear vibrator 206 to receive fruit from the first-stage linear vibrator 206 and transport the fruit to the third-stage linear vibrator 210. The end of the third-stage linear vibrator 210 furthest from the multi-stage differential conveyor belt assembly 204 is located below the end of the second-stage linear vibrator 208 furthest from the first-stage linear vibrator 206, to receive fruit from the second-stage linear vibrator 208 and transport the fruit to the multi-stage differential conveyor belt assembly 204. The fruits transported by the lifting conveyor belt 104 to the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 are dispersed and sorted by the first-stage linear vibrator 206, the second-stage linear vibrator 208 and the third-stage linear vibrator 210 before being transported to the multi-stage differential speed conveyor belt group 204.

[0041] The first-stage linear vibrator 206, the second-stage linear vibrator 208, and the third-stage linear vibrator 210 are each equipped with a first sensor 212, which is used to detect whether there is fruit on the corresponding linear vibrator. The specific detection method of the first sensor 212 is not limited. For example, it can be detected by weight, or it can be detected by emitting a laser and whether the laser is blocked.

[0042] When the first sensor 212 on the first-stage linear vibrator 206 detects the presence of fruit on the first-stage linear vibrator 206, the feeding device 100 stops transporting fruit from the first-stage linear vibrator 206, that is, the lifting conveyor belt 104 stops running to prevent too much fruit on the first-stage linear vibrator 206 from affecting its dispersion and sorting effect. When the first sensor 212 on the first-stage linear vibrator 206 detects no fruit on the first-stage linear vibrator 206, that is, after the first-stage linear vibrator 206 has transported all the fruit on it to the second-stage linear vibrator 208, the lifting conveyor belt 104 restarts, transporting the fruit on the lifting conveyor belt 104 back to the first-stage linear vibrator 206.

[0043] When the first sensor 212 on the second-stage linear vibrator 208 detects the presence of fruit on it, the first-stage linear vibrator 206 stops transporting the fruit to the second-stage linear vibrator 208; that is, the first-stage linear vibrator 206 stops vibrating to avoid having too much fruit on it, which would affect its sorting effect. When the first sensor 212 on the second-stage linear vibrator 208 detects no fruit on it, that is, after the second-stage linear vibrator 208 has transported all the fruit to the third-stage linear vibrator 210, the first-stage linear vibrator 206 resumes vibration to transport the fruit from the first-stage linear vibrator 206 to the second-stage linear vibrator 208.

[0044] When the first sensor 212 on the third-stage linear vibrator 210 detects the presence of fruit on it, the second-stage linear vibrator 208 stops transporting the fruit to the third-stage linear vibrator 210; that is, the second-stage linear vibrator 208 stops vibrating to avoid excessive fruit on the third-stage linear vibrator 210, which would affect its sorting effect. When the first sensor 212 on the third-stage linear vibrator 210 detects no fruit on it, that is, after the third-stage linear vibrator 210 has transported all the fruit to the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group 204, the second-stage linear vibrator 208 resumes vibration to transport the fruit on it to the third-stage linear vibrator 210.

[0045] The specific number of stages in the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group 204 is not limited. In this embodiment, the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group 204 includes a first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 and a second-stage differential conveyor belt 216. The first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 is used to receive fruit from the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 and transport the fruit to the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216. Specifically, one end of the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 is located below the end of the third-stage linear vibrator 210 away from the second-stage linear vibrator 208, so as to receive the fruit transported by the third-stage linear vibrator 210. The second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 is located on the side of the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 away from the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202, and the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 is spaced a certain distance from the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 to avoid mutual interference during their operation. The second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 rotates at a higher speed than the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 to transport the fruit from the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 to the slicing device 300. The first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 and the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 can further disperse and organize the fruit from the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202, ultimately dispersing it into individual fruits with certain intervals, so as to transport the fruit to the slicing device 300 in an orderly manner.

[0046] Second sensors 218 are respectively installed on the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 and the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216. The second sensors 218 are used to detect whether there is fruit on the corresponding differential conveyor belt. The specific detection method of the second sensors 218 is not limited. For example, it can be detected by weight, or it can be detected by emitting a laser and whether the laser is blocked.

[0047] When the second sensor 218 on the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 detects the presence of fruit on the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214, the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202 stops transporting fruit to the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214. That is, the third-stage linear vibrator 210 stops vibrating, stopping the transport of fruit from the third-stage linear vibrator 210 to the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214, to avoid excessive fruit on the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 affecting its distribution and sorting effect. When the second sensor 218 on the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 detects no fruit on the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214, that is, after the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 has transported all the fruit on it to the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216, the third-stage linear vibrator 210 resumes vibration to transport the fruit from the third-stage linear vibrator 210 to the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214.

[0048] When the second sensor 218 on the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 detects the presence of fruit on the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216, the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 stops transporting fruit to the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216, that is, the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 stops operating to avoid the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 being affected by too much fruit, thus hindering its sorting effect. When the second sensor 218 on the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 detects no fruit on the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216, that is, after the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 has transported all the fruit on it to the slicing device 300, the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 restarts to transport the fruit on the first-stage differential conveyor belt 214 to the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5The slicing device 300 includes a frame 302 and a pushing mechanism 304, a clamping mechanism 306, and a slicing mechanism 308 mounted on the frame 302. The pushing mechanism 304 has a feeding station and a clamping station. The feeding station is set corresponding to the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216 to receive fruit from the second-stage differential conveyor belt 216. The pushing mechanism 304 can push the fruit from the feeding station to the clamping station. The clamping mechanism 306 and the slicing mechanism 308 are set corresponding to the clamping station. The clamping mechanism 306 is used to clamp the fruit located at the clamping station, and the slicing mechanism 308 is used to slice the fruit clamped by the clamping mechanism 306 into slices that meet the requirements.

[0050] The slicing device 300 can identify the state of the fruit located at the clamping station. When the fruit is in the slicing state, the slicing mechanism 308 can cut the fruit held by the clamping mechanism into fruit slices that meet the requirements. When the fruit is in an abnormal state such as incorrect placement or incorrect clamping posture, the slicing mechanism 308 will not cut the fruit to avoid cutting fruit slices that do not meet the requirements.

[0051] The slicing device 300 has a slicing device outlet 310 on the side away from the material handling device 200. Fruit slices cut by the slicing mechanism 308 or fruits that have not been cut due to abnormal conditions can be discharged from the slicing device outlet 310 and slide down to the sorting and collecting device 400.

[0052] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sorting and collecting device 400 includes a fruit slice collection mechanism 402, a fruit return mechanism 404, and a sorting mechanism 406. The sorting mechanism 406 has a collection state and a return state, and can move relative to the slicing device outlet 310 to switch between the collection state and the return state. When the sorting mechanism 406 is in the collection state, the fruit slices on the slicing device 308 are discharged through the slicing device outlet 310 and slide down to the fruit slice collection mechanism 402. When the sorting mechanism 406 is in the return state, the fruit on the slicing device 308 is discharged from the slicing device outlet 310 and guided by the sorting mechanism 406 to slide down to the fruit return mechanism 404. Since the sorting mechanism 406 has a material collection state and a material return state, by switching the sorting mechanism 406 between the material collection state and the material return state, the fruit slices on the slicing device 300 can slide to the fruit slice collection mechanism 402, or the fruit on the slicing device 300 can slide to the fruit return mechanism 404. The sorting mechanism 406 can automatically sort the fruit and fruit slices without the need for manual sorting, which is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0053] Understandably, the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 and the fruit return mechanism 404 can be containers for holding fruit slices and fruits respectively, or they can be conveyor belts for conveying fruit slices or fruits to the corresponding containers, or a combination of conveyor belts and containers. In this application, the fruit return mechanism 404 includes a fruit return conveyor belt, and the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 includes a fruit slice collection conveyor belt.

[0054] The specific number of the lifting conveyor belt 104, the multi-stage linear vibrator group 202, the multi-stage differential conveyor belt group 204, the slicing device 300, and the sorting mechanism 406 is not limited; it can be one or more. In this embodiment, there are multiple lifting conveyor belts 104, multi-stage linear vibrator groups 202, multi-stage differential conveyor belt groups 204, slicing devices 300, and sorting mechanisms 406. These multiple lifting conveyor belts 104, multiple multi-stage linear vibrator groups 202, multiple multi-stage differential conveyor belt groups 204, multiple slicing devices 300, and sorting mechanisms 406 are arranged sequentially in the same direction and correspond one-to-one. By setting multiple lifting conveyor belts 104, multi-stage linear vibrator groups 202, multi-stage differential conveyor belt groups 204, slicing devices 300, and sorting mechanisms 406, the fruit slicer 1 can process multiple fruits simultaneously, improving production efficiency. The fruit return conveyor belt and the fruit slice collection conveyor belt move along the arrangement direction of the multiple slicing devices 300 to receive fruits or fruit slices from the multiple slicing devices 300.

[0055] The sorting mechanism 406 includes a sorting chute 408 and a sorting drive 410. The sorting drive 410 is connected to the sorting chute 408 to drive the sorting chute 408 to move relative to the slicing device outlet 310, switching between a material collection state and a material return state. When the slicing mechanism 308 cuts the fruit into slices, the sorting drive 410 drives the sorting chute 408 to switch to the material collection state, allowing the fruit slices to slide down to the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 after being discharged from the slicing device outlet 310. When the fruit is not cut by the slicing mechanism 308 due to an abnormal state, the sorting drive 410 drives the sorting chute 408 to move to the material return state. The uncut fruit, after being discharged from the slicing device outlet 310, slides down to the fruit return mechanism 404 under the guidance of the sorting chute 408.

[0056] The specific type of the sorting drive component 410 is not limited; for example, it can be a motor or a cylinder. In this embodiment, the sorting drive component 410 is a cylinder, and the sorting slide 408 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder to move together with the piston rod.

[0057] In this embodiment, the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 is located below the slicing device outlet 310 and is vertically spaced from the slicing device outlet 310. The fruit return mechanism 404 and the sorting mechanism 406 are located between the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 and the sorting device 200, and are located below the slicing device 300. The sorting drive 410 can drive the sorting chute 408 to extend or retract between the slicing device outlet 310 and the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 to switch between the return state and the collection state. When the fruit slices are discharged from the slicing device outlet 310, the sorting chute 408 is stored below the slicing device 300, and the fruit slices slide down onto the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 located below the slicing device outlet 310 under the influence of gravity, and are transported to the corresponding holding container by the fruit slice collection mechanism 402. When the fruit is discharged from the slicing device outlet 310, the sorting drive 410 drives the sorting chute 408 to extend from between the slicing device outlet 310 and the fruit slice collection mechanism 402, so that the sorting chute 408 is located below the slicing device outlet 310. Under the action of gravity, the fruit falls into the sorting chute 408 and slides down onto the fruit return mechanism 404 under the guidance of the sorting chute 408, and is transported to the corresponding holding container by the fruit return mechanism 404.

[0058] The sorting chute 408 is provided with a guide slope 412, which extends downwards from the fruit slice collection mechanism 402 to the fruit return mechanism 404. When the sorting drive unit 410 drives the sorting chute 408 to extend from between the slicing device outlet 310 and the fruit slice collection mechanism 402, the guide slope 412 extends downwards toward the fruit return mechanism 404. After the fruit is discharged from the slicing device outlet 310, it falls into the sorting chute 408 and slides down to the fruit return mechanism 404 under the action of the guide slope 412.

[0059] The fruit slicing machine of the present invention includes a classification and collection device comprising a fruit slice collection mechanism, a fruit return mechanism, and a classification mechanism. Fruit slices on the slicing device can slide down to the fruit slice collection mechanism through the slicing device outlet, and fruits on the slicing device, after being discharged through the slicing device outlet, slide down to the fruit return mechanism through the classification mechanism, thereby achieving the effect of classifying fruits and fruit slices without the need for manual classification and improving production efficiency.

[0060] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
