[0008] By placing fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor, the fruit feeding motor drives the intermittent conveyor to move, thereby driving the fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor to move. When the fruits and vegetables move to a certain position on the intermittent conveyor, the fruit measuring component in the fruit measuring box detects the fruits and vegetables to detect whether the surface of the fruits and vegetables is moldy or damaged. After the fruit measuring component has finished detecting the fruits and vegetables, the fruits and vegetables are moved from the intermittent conveyor to the sorting box. The fruit sorting component in the sorting box sorts the fruits and vegetables entering the sorting box, and classifies the fruits and vegetables entering according to different specifications. The fruits and vegetables that need to be sorted can be sorted one by one through the setting of the fruit measuring component. The setting of sorting fruits and vegetables can solve the problem that small-sized fruits and vegetables are not purchased during sales, resulting in mold and waste of fruits and vegetables. Through the mutual cooperation of the fruit measuring component and the fruit sorting component, the device can be adapted to different types of fruits and vegetables.

[0009] Preferably, the fruit measuring component includes a fruit measuring motor, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of a fruit measuring box. The inner wall of the fruit measuring box is symmetrically rotatably connected with a rotating shaft, one of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the fruit measuring motor, and the outer walls of the two rotating shafts are respectively fixedly mounted with a driven wheel and a driving wheel, the teeth on the driven wheel are meshed with the teeth on the driving wheel, and one end of the two rotating shafts is respectively fixedly mounted with a connecting rod 1 and a connecting rod 2. When fruits and vegetables are detected, the fruit measuring motor drives the connecting rod 2 on one of the rotating shafts to rotate, and while the connecting rod 2 rotates, a baffle on one end of the connecting rod 2 blocks the fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor, and the scanner on the baffle scans the fruits and vegetables. When the shaft rotates, the driving wheel on the shaft drives the other shaft to reverse motion through the driven wheel, and the connecting rod 1 on the other shaft will move out from the intermittent conveyor. When the scanner on one end of the connecting rod 2 completes the inspection of fruits and vegetables, the fruit inspection motor reverses and drives the driven wheel to engage and rotate through the driving wheel, thereby driving the connecting rod 1 on the other shaft to move back. When the connecting rod 1 moves back to a certain position, the scanner on the connecting rod 1 scans the other half of the fruits and vegetables.

When the fruits and vegetables stick to the soft rubber arc plate on the baffle, the fruit detection motor starts, drives the connecting rod two to return, thereby drives the connecting rod one to move, and scans the other half of the fruits and vegetables, thereby detecting the fruits and vegetables.

[0011] Preferably, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the intermittent conveyor, and the controller is connected to the fruit measuring box by a wire. During detection, the two scanners transmit the detected information back to the controller, and the controller compares the information returned by the two scanners with the actual picture in the controller. When the outer surface of the fruits and vegetables is damaged or moldy, which is different from the actual intact objects, the controller controls the fruit measuring motor and the fruit delivering motor to stop operating. At this time, the operator only needs to take out the fruits and vegetables with problems detected, and then continue to operate the controller to control the fruit measuring motor and the fruit delivering motor to continue working, so as to take out the bad fruits.

When the fruit sorting motor drives the fruit receiving ring to rotate, the fruit receiving ring drives the fruits and vegetables to move in the fruit sliding groove on the circular plate. When the fruits and vegetables move in the fruit sliding groove, when they move above the fruit dropping opening of relative diameter, the fruits and vegetables fall from the fruit dropping opening. By setting the plurality of fruit dropping openings, the fruits and vegetables can be classified one by one according to the specifications, thereby playing a role of sorting.

[0016] Preferably, a plurality of fruit boxes are fixedly installed at the bottom of the circular plate, and a rubber ring is provided inside the plurality of fruit boxes, and a ramp is fixedly installed inside the plurality of fruit boxes. The plurality of fruit boxes are respectively placed directly below a plurality of fruit dropping openings, and the inner diameters of the plurality of fruit boxes are respectively the same as the inner diameters of the corresponding fruit dropping openings. When fruits and vegetables fall from the fruit dropping openings, the fruits and vegetables enter the fruit boxes.

[0033] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a fruit and vegetable sorting device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a support plate 1, an intermittent conveyor 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 1, a fruit feeding motor 31 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the intermittent conveyor 2, a fruit measuring box 3 is arranged on one side of the intermittent conveyor 2, a sorting box 4 is fixedly installed on one end of the intermittent conveyor 2, the sorting box 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the support plate 1, a fruit measuring component is arranged inside the fruit measuring box 3, the fruit measuring component is used to sequentially detect the fruits and vegetables placed on the intermittent conveyor 2, and plays the role of detecting fruits and vegetables, and a fruit sorting component is arranged inside the sorting box 4, the fruit sorting component is used to classify the fruits and vegetables entering the sorting box 4 by specifications, and plays the role of sorting fruits and vegetables;

[0035] In the current prior art, since the specifications of each fruit and vegetable are different, it is necessary to sort the specifications of each fruit and vegetable during sorting, so that each specification of fruit and vegetable can be used well, and it is avoided that the fruit and vegetable with smaller specifications are not bought when they are sold, resulting in moldy fruits and vegetables and causing waste;

[0036] By placing fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor 2, the fruit feeding motor 31 drives the intermittent conveyor 2 to move, thereby driving the fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor 2 to move. When the fruits and vegetables move to a certain position on the intermittent conveyor 2, the fruit measuring component in the fruit measuring box 3 detects the fruits and vegetables to detect whether the surface of the fruits and vegetables is moldy and damaged. After the fruit measuring component has finished detecting the fruits and vegetables, the fruits and vegetables are moved from the intermittent conveyor 2 to the sorting box 4. The fruit sorting component in the sorting box 4 sorts the fruits and vegetables entering the sorting box 4, and classifies the fruits and vegetables entering according to different specifications. The setting of the fruit measuring component can sort the fruits and vegetables that need to be sorted one by one. The setting of sorting fruits and vegetables can solve the problem that the fruits and vegetables with smaller specifications are not purchased during the sale, resulting in mold and waste of fruits and vegetables. Through the mutual cooperation of the fruit measuring component and the fruit sorting component, the device can be adapted to different types of fruits and vegetables. It should be noted that the intermittent conveyor 2 is an intermittent transmission belt, and the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are round fruits and vegetables.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fruit measuring assembly includes a fruit measuring motor 7, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the fruit measuring box 3. The inner wall of the fruit measuring box 3 is symmetrically rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 13, one of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the fruit measuring motor 7, and the outer walls of the two rotating shafts 13 are respectively fixedly mounted with a driven wheel 14 and a driving wheel 12, and the teeth on the driven wheel 14 are meshed with the teeth on the driving wheel 12, and one end of the two rotating shafts 13 is respectively fixedly mounted with a connecting rod 1 8 and a connecting rod 2 30;

[0038] When testing fruits and vegetables, the fruit testing motor 7 drives the connecting rod 2 30 on one of the rotating shafts 13 to rotate. While the connecting rod 2 30 rotates, the baffle 9 on one end of the connecting rod 2 30 blocks the fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor 2, and the scanner 10 on the baffle 9 scans and tests half of the fruits and vegetables. When the rotating shaft 13 rotates, the driving wheel 12 on the rotating shaft 13 drives the other rotating shaft 13 to reverse motion through the driven wheel 14, and the connecting rod 1 8 on the other rotating shaft 13 will be moved out of the intermittent conveyor 2. When the scanner 10 on one end of the connecting rod 2 30 completes the detection of fruits and vegetables, The fruit detecting motor 7 reverses and drives the driven wheel 14 to mesh and rotate through the driving wheel 12, thereby driving the connecting rod 8 on the other rotating shaft 13 to move back. When the connecting rod 8 moves back to a certain position, the scanner 10 on the connecting rod 8 scans the other half of the fruit and vegetables. Through the repeated shifting of the connecting rod 1 8 and the connecting rod 2 30 on the fruits and vegetables, the scanners 10 on both detect the two halves of the fruits and vegetables, thereby detecting the outer surface of the fruits and vegetables, realizing the effect of sequential detection. It should be noted here that the rotation speed of the fruit detecting motor 7 and the speed of conveying fruits and vegetables by the fruit conveying motor 31 need to be actually measured and calculated.

[0039] like Figure 3 to Figure 4As shown, one end of the connecting rod 1 8 and the connecting rod 2 30 are fixedly mounted with a baffle 9, one side of the two baffles 9 are fixedly mounted with a soft rubber arc plate 11, and the top of the two baffles 9 are fixedly mounted with a scanner 10;

[0040] During detection, the baffles 9 on the connecting rod 1 8 and the connecting rod 2 30 limit and block the fruits and vegetables. When the fruits and vegetables move to the soft rubber arc plate 11 on the inner side of the baffle 9, the scanner 10 on the baffle 9 scans and detects half of the fruits and vegetables. When the fruits and vegetables are against the soft rubber arc plate 11 on the baffle 9, the fruit detection motor 7 is started, driving the connecting rod 2 30 to return to its position, thereby driving the connecting rod 1 8 to move, and scanning the other half of the fruits and vegetables, thereby detecting the fruits and vegetables. It should be noted that the soft rubber arc plate 11 is a rubber plate.

[0041] like Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, a controller 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the intermittent conveyor 2, and the controller 6 is connected to the fruit measuring box 3 through a wire;

[0042] During detection, the two scanners 10 transmit the detected information back to the controller 6. The controller 6 compares the information returned by the two scanners 10 with the actual picture in the controller 6. When the outer surface of the fruit or vegetable is damaged or moldy, which is different from the actual intact object, the controller 6 controls the fruit detection motor 7 and the fruit delivery motor 31 to stop operating. At this time, the operator needs to take out the problematic fruits and vegetables, and then continue to operate the controller 6 to control the fruit detection motor 7 and the fruit delivery motor 31 to continue working, so as to take out the bad fruits.

[0043] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the inner wall of the intermittent conveyor 2 is symmetrically provided with limit rods 15, one end of each of the two limit rods 15 is fixedly installed with a hinge 19, the two hinges 19 are hinged to the inner wall of the intermittent conveyor 2, and a return spring 18 is provided between the two limit rods 15 and the inner wall of the intermittent conveyor 2;

[0044] When fruits and vegetables move on the intermittent conveyor 2, when the fruits and vegetables move to a certain position, the fruits and vegetables push the two limit rods 15 to move backwards. When the limit rods 15 move backwards, the reset springs 18 are squeezed to move. Through the angle design of the two limit rods 15, the two limit rods 15 limit the fruits and vegetables during the movement, so that the fruits and vegetables will move along the angle design direction of the two limit rods 15 when moving, preventing the fruits and vegetables from moving and running out of position when moving, and playing a role in regulating the movement direction of the fruits and vegetables. The design of the hinge 19 can make the limit rods 15 move backwards to both sides. Through this design, it can be adapted to fruits and vegetables of different specifications. It should be noted that the outer surfaces of the two limit rods 15 are provided with sponge pads.

[0045] like Figures 5 and 6As shown, an inclined slide plate 17 and a cover plate 16 are fixedly mounted on one end of the intermittent conveyor 2, and the inclined slide plate 17 is placed inside the cover plate 16;

[0046] When the fruits and vegetables move according to the settings of the two limit rods 15, when the fruits and vegetables move to a certain position, the fruits and vegetables move downward along the inclined slide plate 17, so that the fruits and vegetables move into the sorting box 4. Through the setting of the cover plate 16, the two cooperate with each other, so that the fruits and vegetables can move according to a certain path when flowing into the sorting box 4, playing the role of providing the path.

[0047] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the fruit sorting assembly includes a fruit sorting motor 26, the output shaft of the fruit sorting motor 26 is fixedly mounted with a shaft 25, the outer wall of the shaft 25 is fixedly mounted with a plurality of strips 21, one end of the plurality of strips 21 is fixedly mounted with a fruit receiving ring 20, and the fruit sorting motor 26 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the inner wall of the sorting box 4;

[0048] When the fruits and vegetables pass through the limiting movement of the inclined slide plate 17 and the cover plate 16, the fruits and vegetables will move into the fruit receiving ring 20 in the sorting box 4, and then the fruit sorting motor 26 will rotate, and the fruit sorting motor 26 will drive the shaft rod 25 to rotate. When the shaft rod 25 rotates, the shaft rod 25 will drive the fruit receiving ring 20 to rotate. When the fruit receiving ring 20 shifts and rotates, the fruits and vegetables in the fruit receiving ring 20 will be sorted, thereby playing the role of moving the fruits and vegetables. It should be noted that a sponge pad is arranged inside the fruit receiving ring 20.

[0049] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, a circular plate 23 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sorting box 4, a fruit sliding groove 22 is provided on the inner wall of the circular plate 23, the bottoms of the plurality of fruit receiving rings 20 are slidably connected to the top of the circular plate 23, and a plurality of fruit dropping openings 27 are sequentially provided on the inner wall of the circular plate 23, and the inner diameter specifications of the plurality of fruit dropping openings 27 are sequentially increased;

[0050] When the fruit sorting motor 26 drives the fruit receiving ring 20 to rotate, the fruit receiving ring 20 drives the fruits and vegetables to move in the fruit sliding groove 22 on the circular plate 23. When the fruits and vegetables move in the fruit sliding groove 22, when the fruits and vegetables move to above the fruit dropping opening 27 of a relatively large diameter, the fruits and vegetables fall from the fruit dropping opening 27. By setting a plurality of fruit dropping openings 27, the fruits and vegetables can be classified one by one according to the specifications, thereby playing a role in sorting. It should be noted here that a soft rubber anti-fall pad is provided on the fruit sliding groove 22 in the circular plate 23.

[0051] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, a plurality of fruit boxes 24 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the circular plate 23, and a rubber ring 29 is provided inside each of the plurality of fruit boxes 24. A ramp 28 is fixedly installed inside each of the plurality of fruit boxes 24. The plurality of fruit boxes 24 are respectively placed directly below the plurality of fruit drop openings 27, and the inner diameters of the plurality of fruit boxes 24 are respectively the same as the inner diameters of the corresponding fruit drop openings 27.

[0052] When fruits and vegetables fall from the fruit drop opening 27, they enter the fruit box 24. When entering the fruit box 24, the fruits and vegetables move downward along the rubber ring 29 on the fruit box 24. When the fruits and vegetables move onto the inclined platform 28, the fruits and vegetables slide out through the inclined surface design of the inclined platform 28, playing the role of transitioning fruits and vegetables. The setting of the rubber ring 29 is to prevent the fruits and vegetables from being smashed when they fall. It should be noted that a sponge pad is provided on the inclined platform 28.

[0053] like Figures 7 and 8 As shown, the inner walls of the plurality of fruit boxes 24 are fixedly mounted with fruit slide tubes 5, and one end of the plurality of fruit slide tubes 5 is respectively placed on one side of the inclined sliding surface of the plurality of inclined platforms 28;

[0054] When the fruits and vegetables slide out along the inclined surface of the inclined platform 28, the fruits and vegetables will slide out from the fruit-discharging slide tube 5, so that the fruits and vegetables are moved out of the sorting box 4, thereby realizing the effect of collecting each fruit and vegetable of different specifications one by one.

[0055] Working principle: by placing fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor 2, the fruit feeding motor 31 drives the intermittent conveyor 2 to move, thereby driving the fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor 2 to move. When the fruits and vegetables move to a certain position on the intermittent conveyor 2, the fruit detection component in the fruit detection box 3 detects the fruits and vegetables to detect whether the surface of the fruits and vegetables is moldy and damaged. After the fruit detection component has finished detecting the fruits and vegetables, the fruits and vegetables are moved from the intermittent conveyor 2 to the sorting box 4. The fruit sorting component in the sorting box 4 sorts the fruits and vegetables entering the sorting box 4, and classifies the fruits and vegetables entering according to different specifications. The setting of the fruit detection component can sort the fruits and vegetables that need to be sorted one by one. The setting of sorting fruits and vegetables can solve the problem that the fruits and vegetables with smaller specifications are not purchased during the sale, resulting in mold and rot, which causes waste. Through the mutual cooperation of the fruit detection component and the fruit sorting component, the device can be adapted to different types of fruits and vegetables;

[0056] When testing fruits and vegetables, the fruit testing motor 7 drives the connecting rod 2 30 on one of the rotating shafts 13 to rotate. When the connecting rod 2 30 rotates, the baffle 9 on one end of the connecting rod 2 30 blocks the fruits and vegetables on the intermittent conveyor 2, and the scanner 10 on the baffle 9 scans and tests half of the fruits and vegetables. When the rotating shaft 13 rotates, the driving wheel 12 on the rotating shaft 13 drives the other rotating shaft 13 to reverse motion through the driven wheel 14, and the connecting rod 1 8 on the other rotating shaft 13 will move out of the intermittent conveyor 2. After the scanner 10 on one end of the second 30 completes the inspection of fruits and vegetables, the fruit inspection motor 7 reverses, and drives the driven wheel 14 to mesh and rotate through the driving wheel 12, thereby driving the connecting rod 1 8 on the other rotating shaft 13 to move back. When the connecting rod 1 8 moves back to a certain position, the scanner 10 on the connecting rod 1 8 scans the other half of the fruits and vegetables. Through the repeated shifting of the connecting rod 1 8 and the connecting rod 2 30, the scanners 10 on both detect the two halves of the fruits and vegetables, thereby detecting the outer surface of the fruits and vegetables, and realizing the function of sequential inspection;

[0057] During detection, the baffles 9 on the connecting rod 1 8 and the connecting rod 2 30 limit and block the fruits and vegetables. When the fruits and vegetables move toward the soft rubber arc plate 11 on the inner side of the baffle 9, the scanner 10 on the baffle 9 scans and detects half of the fruits and vegetables. When the fruits and vegetables are against the soft rubber arc plate 11 on the baffle 9, the fruit detection motor 7 is started, driving the connecting rod 2 30 to return to its position, thereby driving the connecting rod 1 8 to move, and scanning the other half of the fruits and vegetables, thereby playing the role of detecting fruits and vegetables;

[0058] During the detection, the two scanners 10 transmit the detected information back to the controller 6. The controller 6 compares the information transmitted back by the two scanners 10 with the actual picture in the controller 6. When the outer surface of the fruit or vegetable is damaged or moldy, which is different from the actual intact object, the controller 6 controls the fruit detection motor 7 and the fruit delivery motor 31 to stop operating. At this time, the operator needs to take out the fruit and vegetable with problems detected, and then continue to operate the controller 6 to control the fruit detection motor 7 and the fruit delivery motor 31 to continue working, so as to take out the bad fruit;

[0059] When fruits and vegetables move on the intermittent conveyor 2, when the fruits and vegetables move to a certain position, the fruits and vegetables push the two limit rods 15 to move backwards, and when the limit rods 15 move backwards, the return springs 18 are squeezed to move. Through the angle design of the two limit rods 15, the two limit rods 15 limit the fruits and vegetables during the movement, so that the fruits and vegetables will move along the angle design direction of the two limit rods 15 when moving, preventing the fruits and vegetables from moving and running away when moving, and playing a role in regulating the movement direction of the fruits and vegetables. The design of the hinge 19 can make the limit rods 15 move backwards to both sides. Through this design, it can be adapted to fruits and vegetables of different specifications;

[0060] When the fruits and vegetables move according to the settings of the two limit rods 15, when the fruits and vegetables move to a certain position, the fruits and vegetables move downward along the inclined slide plate 17, so that the fruits and vegetables move into the sorting box 4. Through the setting of the cover plate 16, the two cooperate with each other, so that the fruits and vegetables can move according to a certain path when flowing into the sorting box 4, playing the role of providing a path;

[0061] When the fruits and vegetables move through the limit position of the inclined slide plate 17 and the cover plate 16, the fruits and vegetables will move into the fruit receiving ring 20 in the sorting box 4, and then the fruit sorting motor 26 rotates, and the fruit sorting motor 26 drives the shaft rod 25 to rotate. When the shaft rod 25 rotates, the shaft rod 25 drives the fruit receiving ring 20 to rotate. When the fruit receiving ring 20 shifts and rotates, the fruits and vegetables in the fruit receiving ring 20 are driven to be sorted, thereby playing the role of moving the fruits and vegetables;

[0062] When the fruit sorting motor 26 drives the fruit receiving ring 20 to rotate, the fruit receiving ring 20 drives the fruits and vegetables to move in the fruit sliding groove 22 on the circular plate 23. When the fruits and vegetables move in the fruit sliding groove 22 and move above the fruit dropping opening 27 of a relatively large diameter, the fruits and vegetables fall from the fruit dropping opening 27. By setting a plurality of fruit dropping openings 27, the fruits and vegetables can be classified one by one according to the specifications, thus playing a role of sorting.

[0063] When fruits and vegetables fall from the fruit drop opening 27, they enter the fruit box 24. When the fruits and vegetables enter the fruit box 24, they move downward along the rubber ring 29 on the fruit box 24. When the fruits and vegetables move onto the inclined platform 28, they slide out through the inclined surface design of the inclined platform 28, playing the role of transition of fruits and vegetables. The setting of the rubber ring 29 is to prevent the fruits and vegetables from being broken when they fall;

[0064] When the fruits and vegetables slide out along the inclined surface of the inclined platform 28, the fruits and vegetables will slide out from the fruit-discharging slide tube 5, so that the fruits and vegetables are moved out of the sorting box 4, thereby realizing the effect of collecting each fruit and vegetable of different specifications one by one.
