Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of navel orange packaging, and more particularly to a convenient navel orange branch and leaf removal device for packaging navel oranges. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, as people's living standards continue to improve, navel oranges have become one of the most popular fruits. In order to meet the needs of the public, the branches and leaves of navel oranges need to be pruned before they are packaged and sold.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application CN113172679B, which discloses a convenient navel orange branch and leaf removal device for packaging, capable of rapid and automatic cutting and clamping. The technical embodiment of this invention is as follows: A convenient navel orange branch and leaf removal device for packaging includes a base and a cutting mechanism. The cutting mechanism is located on the inner side of the center of the base; a cutter is symmetrically and slidingly mounted on the cutting mechanism; a support mechanism is located on one side of the base; and a stabilizing mechanism is located on the top of the base, connected to the support mechanism. This invention, through a clamping plate, moves the navel orange upwards after the branches and leaves have been cut. Under the action of the clamping claws, the cut branches and leaves are prevented from moving upwards, thus separating the navel orange from the branches and leaves, making it convenient for people to place the cut branches and leaves in a suitable position.

[0004] Existing equipment typically fixes the orange inside the machine when removing branches and leaves from navel oranges. The cutting disc then cuts and removes the branches and leaves. After removal, the orange is removed from the machine, and another orange is placed inside. This process is repeated, which affects the efficiency of the equipment in removing branches and leaves from navel oranges. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Preferably, a second slot is provided on one side of the bottom of the movable seat, and a third motor is bolted to one side of the second slot, with one end of the third motor fixedly connected to a threaded rod.

[0012] Preferably, a branch straightening mechanism is provided on one side of the outer wall of the placement seat, and the branch straightening mechanism includes an airbag, a pull-out sleeve, a pull-out rod, and a support bar.

Both the compression pad and the buffer pad are hollow elastic materials, and a connecting pipe is provided between the compression pad and the buffer pad.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. This invention, through the provision of a conveying mechanism, a fixing mechanism, and a supporting mechanism, allows for the removal of branches and leaves from navel oranges. Multiple navel oranges are placed sequentially inside the fixing mechanism. The conveying mechanism is then activated to transport the oranges. When the oranges reach below the cutting disc, a first hydraulic rod is activated, causing the branch-removing mechanism to move downwards. This allows the cutting disc to cut and remove the branches and leaves from the oranges. As the branch-removing mechanism moves downwards, a guide block slides against the inner wall of the guide opening. This downward movement of the guide block pushes a pusher block downwards. When the device moves, it pushes the second push rod to one side, causing the second push rod to push the slider to slide. At this time, the slider will drive the first push rod to deflect upward, causing the push plate to be pushed upward under the action of the first push rod. This will support the top of the push plate at the bottom of the fixed mechanism, thereby improving the stability of the branch and leaf removal, so as to improve the removal effect of the equipment on the navel orange branches and leaves, and prevent the navel orange branches and leaves from shaking during removal, which would affect the removal of the navel orange branches and leaves. Through the cooperation of the conveying mechanism and the support mechanism, the removal efficiency of navel orange branches and leaves can be improved at the same time.

[0017] 2. This invention, through its supporting mechanism and branch straightening mechanism, removes navel orange branches and leaves. The second hydraulic rod moves the extrusion plate to one side, causing it to extrude the branches and leaves. Simultaneously, the supporting mechanism supports the bottom of the fixing mechanism, causing the push plate to extrude the airbag. The gas inside the airbag, after being extruded, is transported through an air pipe to the inside of the pull sleeve. This increases the air pressure inside the pull sleeve, causing the piston to push the pull rod upwards under the pressure. This pull rod then pulls the navel orange branches and leaves upwards, facilitating straightening and improving the removal efficiency. This prevents the branches and leaves from deflecting to one side, which would negatively impact the removal process.

[0018] 3. This invention, through the inclusion of a buffer pad, a compression pad, and a connecting pipe, allows the navel oranges to be placed inside the placement trough during the debranching process. The support pad moves downwards under the weight of the oranges, compressing the buffer pad as it moves. The compressed gas inside the buffer pad is then transported to the compression pad via the connecting pipe, thus squeezing and fixing the oranges. This improves the stability of the debranching process and enhances the equipment's effectiveness in removing orange branches and leaves. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1-8 A convenient navel orange packaging navel orange branch and leaf removal device includes a fixed base 1. A conveying mechanism is provided on the top of the fixed base 1, and multiple fixing mechanisms 6 are provided on the outer wall of the conveying mechanism. Two support columns 2 are bolted to one side of the top of the fixed base 1, and a connecting plate 8 is bolted to the outer wall of the opposite side of the two support columns 2 near the top. A branch removal mechanism 7 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 8. Guide openings 13 are provided on the outer walls of the two support columns 2, and guide blocks 32 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two guide openings 13. The two guide blocks 32 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the branch removal mechanism 7. A support mechanism 14 is provided on the opposite side of the two support columns 2 near the bottom to improve the stability of branch and leaf removal, so as to improve the removal effect of the navel orange branches and leaves and prevent the navel orange branches and leaves from shaking during removal, which would affect the removal of navel orange branches and leaves. Through the cooperation of the conveying mechanism and the support mechanism 14, the removal efficiency of navel orange branches and leaves can be improved at the same time.

[0030] Based on the above, the support mechanism 14 includes a support plate 33, a push plate 37, and two push blocks 38. The two push blocks 38 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide port 13. A first spring 39 is bolted between the bottom of the push block 38 and the guide port 13. The two sides of the support plate 33 are bolted to the two support columns 2. Support grooves 34 are provided on both sides of the top of the support plate 33. Sliding sliders 35 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two support grooves 34. A first push rod 36 is bolted between one side of the two sliders 35 and the bottom of the push plate 37. The two first push rods 36 are arranged in a V-shape. A second push rod 40 is hinged between the top of the two sliders 35 and the two push blocks 38. When removing the branches and leaves of the navel oranges, multiple navel oranges are placed inside the fixing mechanism 6 in sequence. At this time, the conveying mechanism is started to convey the navel oranges. When the navel oranges move to the bottom of the branch removal mechanism 7, the first hydraulic pressure is activated. The first hydraulic rod 9 drives the branch removal mechanism 7 to move downward, thereby cutting and removing the branches and leaves of the navel orange. When the branch removal mechanism 7 moves downward, it drives the guide block 32 to slide on the inner wall of the guide opening 13. When the guide block 32 moves downward, it pushes the push block 38 to move downward. When the push block 38 moves downward, it pushes the second push rod 40 to deflect to one side, thereby pushing the slider 35 to slide. At this time, when the slider 35 slides, it drives the first push rod 36 to deflect upward, so that the push plate is pushed upward under the action of the first push rod 36. This makes the top of the push plate 37 supported on the bottom of the fixing mechanism 6, thereby improving the stability of branch and leaf removal, so as to improve the removal effect of the equipment on navel orange branches and leaves, and prevent the navel orange branches and leaves from shaking during removal, which would affect the removal of navel orange branches and leaves. Through the cooperation of the conveying mechanism and the support mechanism 14, the removal efficiency of navel orange branches and leaves can be improved at the same time.

[0031] Based on the above, the conveying mechanism includes two fixed frames 3, two rotating rods 5, four gear discs 4, and two gear chains 11. The two fixed frames 3 are connected to the top of the fixed base 1 by bolts. The two sides of the two fixed frames 3 are rotatably connected to the two rotating rods 5 by bearings. The two sides of the outer wall of the two rotating rods 5 are fixedly sleeved with the gear discs 4. The gear discs 4 are meshed with the gear chains 11. A first motor 12 is bolted to one side of one of the fixed frames 3. One end of the first motor 12 is bolted to one of the rotating rods 5.

[0032] Based on the above, the fixing mechanism 6 includes multiple connecting straps 15, two connecting blocks 16 and a placement seat 17. Two connecting straps 15 are bolted to one side of the connecting block 16. One end of the two connecting straps 15 is fixedly connected to the toothed chain 11. The two connecting blocks 16 are bolted to the placement seat 17. A placement groove 18 is provided on the top of the placement seat 17.

[0033] Based on the above, the debranching mechanism 7 includes a first hydraulic rod 9, a movable seat 23, and a cutting disc 28. The two ends of the first hydraulic rod 9 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 8 and the movable seat 23 by bolts. A first slot 24 is provided on one side of the bottom of the movable seat 23. A threaded rod 29 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the opposite sides of the first slot 24 by bearings. A movable block 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slot 24. A threaded hole is provided on the outer wall of the movable block 25. The threaded hole is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 29. A fixed block 26 is bolted to the bottom of the movable block 25. A second motor 27 is bolted to the bottom of the fixed block 26. One end of the second motor 27 is fixedly connected to the cutting disc 28. Two guide blocks 32 are bolted to the movable seat 23.

[0034] Based on the above, a second slot 30 is provided on one side of the bottom of the movable seat 23, and a third motor 31 is connected to one side of the second slot 30 by bolts. One end of the third motor 31 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 29.

[0035] Based on the above, a branch straightening mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the placement seat 17. The branch straightening mechanism 10 includes an airbag 48, a pull-out sleeve 41, a pull-out rod 42, and a support bar 43. The top of the airbag 48 is bonded to the bottom of the placement seat 17. The pull-out sleeve 41 is bolted to one side of one of the connecting blocks 16. A piston 50 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the pull-out sleeve 41. A second spring 51 is bolted to the bottom of the piston 50 and the pull-out sleeve 41. The top of the piston 50 is fixedly connected to the pull-out rod 42. The support bar 43 is bolted to the pull-out rod 42. The airbag 48 and the pull-out sleeve 41 are connected by bolts. An air pipe 49 is provided between the parts. When the bottom of the fixing mechanism 6 is supported by the support mechanism 14, the push plate 38 will squeeze the air bag 48. After being squeezed, the gas inside the air bag 48 will be transported to the inside of the pull sleeve 41 through the air pipe 49. At this time, the air pressure inside the pull sleeve 41 will increase, and the piston 50 will drive the pull rod 42 to push upward under the action of air pressure. This will cause the pull rod 42 to pull the navel orange branches and leaves upward, which will facilitate the straightening of the navel orange branches and leaves, so as to improve the removal effect of the equipment on the navel orange branches and leaves and prevent the navel orange branches and leaves from deflecting to one side and affecting the removal of the navel orange branches and leaves.

[0036] Based on the above, both ends of one side of the support bar 43 are bolted to a clamping plate 44, and one side of one clamping plate 44 is bonded with an anti-slip pad 47, and one side of the other clamping plate 44 is bolted to a second hydraulic rod 45, and one side of the second hydraulic rod 45 is bolted to a pressing plate 46.

A connecting pipe 22 is provided between the compression pad 19 and the buffer pad 21. When removing branches from the navel oranges, the navel oranges are placed inside the placement groove 18. At this time, the support pad 20 will move downward under the action of the weight of the navel oranges. When the support pad 20 moves downward, it will compress the buffer pad 21. At this time, the gas inside the buffer pad 21 will be transported to the inside of the compression pad 19 through the connecting pipe 22 after being compressed. Thus, the navel oranges are squeezed and fixed by the compression pad 19, so as to improve the stability of the navel orange branch removal and improve the removal effect of the device on navel orange branches and leaves.
