Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bag sealing equipment technology, and in particular to a sealing mechanism for a bagging end effector for trellis fruits and vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] Bagging fruits and vegetables can protect them from birds, insects, diseases, dust, and pesticide contamination, improve fruit surface smoothness, and enhance their appearance and commercial value. However, bagging is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task, and fruit and vegetable production in my country relies heavily on manual labor. Therefore, for large-scale fruit and vegetable cultivation, concentrating a large workforce for bagging in a short period poses a significant challenge.

[0003] With the popularization of elevated planting, fruits and vegetables can be uniformly distributed in a parallel layer parallel to the orchard ground, with relatively few obstacles around the fruits. This characteristic of the cultivation environment makes it possible for fruit and vegetable robots to perform bagging operations. Existing bagging and sealing equipment uses mechanical claws for clamping and sealing, but its effect on the sustained effect of pressing the bag opening tightly is poor. After a period of time, the pressed bag opening will open again under the tension of the bag, causing the bag to lose its protective effect on the fruits and vegetables. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the problem that the existing mechanical claw clamping sealing method has poor continuous effect on the bag mouth after it is closed, and the closed bag mouth will open again under the tension of the bag after a period of time, so that the bag loses its protective effect on fruits and vegetables. The present invention provides a sealing mechanism for the end actuator of trellis fruit and vegetable bagging.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a sealing mechanism for the end actuator of a fruit and vegetable bagging device, including a frame and a drive assembly, a left sealing assembly and a right sealing assembly installed on the frame, wherein there is a gap between the left sealing assembly and the right sealing assembly for placing the bag;

[0006] The left sealing assembly includes a left connecting frame, a sealing component, and a left pressure plate. The sealing component and the left connecting frame are rotatably connected, and the left pressure plate and the sealing component are rotatably connected.

[0007] The right sealing assembly includes a right pressure plate and a right connecting frame, which are fixedly connected.

[0008] The output end of the drive assembly is connected to the left connecting frame and the right connecting frame. The drive assembly is used to provide power for the left and right pressure plates to move closer or further apart. After the left and right pressure plates come together, the sealing component passes over the top surfaces of the left and right pressure plates to complete the bending of the bag opening. Through the design of the left and right pressure plates and the sealing component, the bag is closed and then bent to seal it, thereby increasing the sealing effect of the bag and preventing it from opening again.

[0009] To address the issue of unstable installation of the left pressure plate and lack of force support during sealing, a left sealing assembly is further included, comprising a reset component. One end of the reset component is fixedly connected to the left connecting frame, and the other end of the reset component is fixedly connected to the left pressure plate. The reset component is used to hold the left pressure plate in place.

[0010] The reset element is further included as a damper.

[0011] To address the issue that the left pressure plate, right pressure plate, and sealing component may damage the stems of fruits and vegetables when they are closed, the system further includes a left clearance groove on the left pressure plate, a right clearance groove on the right pressure plate, and a sealing clearance groove on the sealing component. The left clearance groove, right clearance groove, and sealing clearance groove are used to avoid the stems of fruits and vegetables.

[0012] To address the issue of how the sealing component can bend the bag opening and reset, a left sealing assembly is further included, comprising a connecting plate and a connecting shaft. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the left connecting frame, and the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the sealing component. The end of the sealing component away from the left pressure plate is bent towards the left pressure plate to form a connecting part. The connecting part has a sliding hole, and the connecting shaft is arranged in the sliding hole. The connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the left pressure plate.

[0013] To address the issue of the connection structure between the right pressure plate and the right connecting frame affecting the travel of the sealing component, the right sealing assembly further includes a U-shaped support plate. One end of the support plate is fixedly connected to the right pressure plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the right connecting frame. The support plate is used to avoid the sealing component.

[0014] The device further includes a drive assembly comprising a motor and a lead screw, wherein the output end of the motor and the input end of the lead screw are connected in a transmission manner, the threaded section of the lead screw is threadedly connected to the left connecting frame, and the lead screw and the right connecting frame are rotatably connected.

[0015] To address the issue of unstable movement of the left and right sealing components, the sealing mechanism further includes a sliding component. The sliding component includes a slide rail and a left and right slider arranged on the slide rail. The slide rail is fixedly connected to the frame, the left slider is fixedly connected to the left connecting frame, and the right slider is fixedly connected to the right connecting frame.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The sealing mechanism of the end actuator of the fruit and vegetable bagging device provided by the present invention, through the design of the left pressure plate, the right pressure plate and the sealing component, enables it to close the fruit and vegetable bag and complete the bending and sealing, thereby increasing the sealing effect of the fruit and vegetable bag and preventing it from opening again.

[0017] This device will help reduce the labor required for fruit and vegetable bagging, lower labor intensity, and improve actual bagging efficiency. It also uses deep learning algorithms for visual recognition to ensure intelligent behavior patterns during fruit and vegetable bagging. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention. A sealing mechanism for a fruit and vegetable bagging end actuator includes a frame 1 and a drive assembly 2, a left sealing assembly 3 and a right sealing assembly 4 mounted on the frame 1. There is a gap between the left sealing assembly 3 and the right sealing assembly 4 for placing the bag.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the left sealing assembly 3 includes a left connecting frame 31, a sealing member 32, and a left pressure plate 33. The sealing member 32 and the left connecting frame 31 are rotatably connected, and the left pressure plate 33 and the sealing member 32 are rotatably connected.

[0030] The left sealing assembly 3 includes a reset member 34. One end of the reset member 34 is fixedly connected to the left connecting frame 31, and the other end of the reset member 34 is fixedly connected to the left pressure plate 33. The reset member 34 provides the left pressure plate 33 with an elastic movement gap, so that after the left pressure plate 33 and the right pressure plate 41 come together, the left pressure plate 33 can act in the opposite direction on the sealing member 32, causing the sealing member 32 to flip and bend the opening of the fruit and vegetable bag. The reset member 34 is used to hold the left pressure plate 33. The reset member 34 is a damper. The reset member 34 can also be an elastic element or other reset element. This application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0031] The right sealing assembly 4 includes a right pressure plate 41 and a right connecting frame 42, which are fixedly connected.

[0032] The left sealing assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 35 and a connecting shaft 36. The connecting plate 35 is fixedly connected to the left connecting frame 31, and the connecting plate 35 is rotatably connected to the sealing member 32. The end of the sealing member 32 away from the left pressure plate 33 is bent towards the left pressure plate 33 to form a connecting part 322. The connecting part 322 has a sliding hole 3221. The connecting shaft 36 is arranged in the sliding hole 3221. The sliding hole 3221 is an oblong hole. The extending direction of the sliding hole 3221 is the same as the extending direction of the connecting part 322. The connecting shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the left pressure plate 33. The connecting shaft 36 can move along the sliding hole 3221 and rotate relative to it.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the right sealing assembly 4 includes a U-shaped support plate 43. One end of the support plate 43 is fixedly connected to the right pressure plate 41, and the other end is fixedly connected to the right connecting frame 42. The support plate 43 is used to avoid the sealing component 32. The support plate 43 can also be a flat plate or other connecting structure. The function of the support plate 43 is to connect the right pressure plate 41 and the right connecting frame 42, and to avoid the sealing component 32.

[0034] The left pressure plate 33 has a left clearance groove 331, the right pressure plate 41 has a right clearance groove 411, and the sealing member 32 has a sealing clearance groove 321. The left clearance groove 331, the right clearance groove 411 and the sealing clearance groove 321 are used to avoid the stems of fruits and vegetables, so as to prevent them from being damaged during the sealing process of the fruit and vegetable bag.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the output end of the drive assembly 2 is connected to the left connecting frame 31 and the right connecting frame 42. The drive assembly 2 is used to provide power for the left pressure plate 33 and the right pressure plate 41 to move closer or further apart, and after the left pressure plate 33 and the right pressure plate 41 come together, the sealing member 32 passes over the top surface of the left pressure plate 33 and the top surface of the right pressure plate 41 to complete the bending of the bag opening.

[0036] The drive assembly 2 includes a motor 21 and a lead screw 22. The output end of the motor 21 and the input end of the lead screw 22 are connected for transmission. The threaded section of the lead screw 22 is threadedly connected to the left connecting frame 31. The lead screw 22 and the right connecting frame 42 are rotatably connected, so that the left pressure plate 33 moves relative to the right pressure plate 41 through its forward and reverse rotation. After the left pressure plate 33 and the right pressure plate 41 come together, the left connecting frame 31 continues to move, so that the sealing member 32 passes over the top surface of the left pressure plate 33 and the top surface of the right pressure plate 41, completing the bending of the bag opening.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the sealing mechanism includes a sliding component 5, which includes a slide rail 51 and a left slider 52 and a right slider 53 arranged on the slide rail 51. The slide rail 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, the left slider 52 is fixedly connected to the left connecting frame 31, and the right slider 53 is fixedly connected to the right connecting frame 42. This can increase the stability of the movement of the left connecting frame 31 and the right connecting frame 42, making the overall operation of the equipment smooth.

[0038] When sealing the bag, the opened fruit and vegetable bag is placed between the left sealing assembly 3 and the right sealing assembly 4. The motor 21 starts, causing the lead screw 22 to rotate. The lead screw 22 drives the left connecting frame 31 to move. Since the sealing component 32 and the left pressure plate 33 are both arranged on the left connecting frame 31, the three will move synchronously. At this time, the left pressure plate 33 moves closer to the right pressure plate 41 until the two are close together. Then, the left connecting frame 31 continues to move closer to the right connecting frame 42. With the support of the reset component 34, the left pressure plate 33 and the right pressure plate 41 remain closed. The left pressure plate 33 reacts to the sealing component 32, causing the sealing component 32 to pass over the top surface of the left pressure plate 33 and the top surface of the right pressure plate 41, completing the bending of the bag opening and sealing the bag. After the sealing process is completed, the motor 21 reverses, causing the left connecting frame 31 to reset. Under the action of the reset component 34, the left pressure plate 33 and the sealing component 32 reset.

[0039] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
