The end of each sorting sliding plate closest to the flotation pool is fixedly installed with a sorting half-sieve plate. The sieve slot widths of the sorting half-sieve plates in the same sorting component are different from each other. When two sorting half-sieve plates with equal sieve slot widths face each other and are joined, they form a complete screening plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the partition slide plates are all in sliding fit with the flotation tank. There is a clearance between the surface of the partition slide plate closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate and the flotation tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Example: Reference Figures 1 - 11 An apple screening and sorting device includes a bottom plate 101, on which a flotation assembly is arranged, the flotation assembly includes a flotation tank 106, the flotation tank 106 is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 101, and a solenoid valve 129 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the flotation tank 106. The flotation of apples is achieved by the buoyancy of water in the flotation tank 106 on the apples. Apples with high maturity are located in the upper layer of the water in the flotation tank 106 due to their low density and high water content, and apples with low maturity are located in the lower layer of the water in the flotation tank 106 due to their high density and low water content. These apples located in the lower layer of the water in the flotation tank 106 may be immature or hard in texture, or may have other quality problems.

[0028] A U-shaped slide plate 116 is slidably installed on the flotation tank 106, and a cleaning screen plate 113 is fixedly installed on the end of the U-shaped slide plate 116 located on the inner side of the flotation tank 106. The cleaning screen plate 113 and the flotation tank 106 are slidably matched, and the cleaning screen plate 113 is used to clean unqualified apples in the flotation tank 106. A shift screw rod 127 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the flotation tank 106, and the shift screw rod 127 and the end of the U-shaped slide plate 116 located on the outer side of the flotation tank 106 form a spiral pair. A shift motor 128 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the flotation tank 106, and the output shaft of the shift motor 128 is fixedly connected to the shift screw rod 127.

[0029] The initial position is that the cleaning sieve plate 113 is located in the flotation tank 106 at the position closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101. Therefore, apples with a relatively large density and low water content will accumulate on the upper surface of the cleaning sieve plate 113. When it is necessary to take out this part of the apples, the shifting motor 128 is started to drive the shifting lead screw 127 to rotate, which causes the U-shaped slide plate 116 to move upward, and the cleaning sieve plate 113 moves upward synchronously, thereby causing the apples on the cleaning sieve plate 113 to move upward.

[0030] A conveying group 108 is movably arranged on the bottom plate 101. The conveying group 108 includes two conveying rollers and a conveyor belt. The two conveying rollers in the conveying group 108 are symmetrically and rotatably installed on the bottom plate 101. The conveyor belt in the conveying group 108 is arranged on the two conveying rollers in the conveying group 108. A conveying motor 110 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 101. The output shaft of the conveying motor 110 is fixedly connected to the corresponding conveying roller. An apple outlet chute plate 109 is fixedly arranged at the position on the flotation tank 106 closest to the conveying group 108. The upper surface of the cleaning sieve plate 113 is parallel to the inner surface of the apple outlet chute plate 109. The distance between the end surface of the cleaning sieve plate 113 closest to the apple outlet chute plate 109 and the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 is less than the distance between the end of the cleaning sieve plate 113 farthest from the apple outlet chute plate 109 and the lower surface of the bottom plate 101, that is, the cleaning sieve plate 113 is in an inclined state relative to the bottom plate 101. Therefore, when the cleaning sieve plate 113 moves upward until the upper surface of the cleaning sieve plate 113 and the inner surface of the apple outlet chute plate 109 are in the same plane, the apples on the cleaning sieve plate 113 will roll along the cleaning sieve plate 113 and the apple outlet chute plate 109 onto the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108. By starting the conveying motor 110 to drive the corresponding conveying roller to rotate, the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108 is caused to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of the apples. Shield plates 111 are symmetrically and fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 101. The shield plates 111 are used to prevent the apples from falling off the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108.

[0031] Sorting components are symmetrically arranged on the flotation tank 106. Each sorting component includes a sorting side box 107. The sorting side boxes 107 are all slidably installed on the flotation tank 106. A sorting slide frame 120 is slidably installed on the bottom plate 101. An upward movement lead screw 131 is rotatably installed on the bottom plate 101. The sorting slide frame 120 and the upward movement lead screw 131 form a screw pair. An upward movement motor 130 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 101. The output shaft of the upward movement motor 130 is fixedly connected to the upward movement lead screw 131. A switching slide plate 134 is fixedly arranged between the two sorting side boxes 107. The switching slide plate 134 is slidably installed on the sorting slide frame 120. A switching lead screw 133 is rotatably installed on the sorting slide frame 120. The switching lead screw 133 and the switching slide plate 134 form a screw pair. A switching motor 132 is fixedly installed on the sorting slide frame 120. The output shaft of the switching motor 132 is fixedly connected to the switching lead screw 133. Sealing slide plates 126 are fixedly arranged on the sorting side boxes 107. The sealing slide plates 126 are all in sliding fit with the flotation tank 106. When the sorting side boxes 107 slide relative to the flotation tank 106, under the action of the sealing slide plates 126, there will be no gap at the joint between the flotation tank 106 and the sorting side boxes 107.

[0032] A plurality of sorting slide plates 121 are slidably installed on each sorting side box 107. The adjacent two sorting slide plates 121 in the same sorting side box 107 are in sliding fit with each other. The end of the sorting slide plate 121 closest to the flotation tank 106 is fixedly installed with a sorting half sieve plate 114. The upper surface of the sorting half sieve plate 114 is parallel to the upper surface of the cleaning sieve plate 113. The sieve slot widths of the sorting half sieve plates 114 in the same sorting component are different from each other. The closer the sorting half sieve plate 114 is to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 in the same sorting component, the larger the sieve slot width. When the two sorting half sieve plates 114 with equal sieve slot widths face each other and are joined, they form a complete screening plate.

[0033] Partition slide plates 115 are arranged between the sorting components and the flotation tank 106. The partition slide plates 115 are all in sliding fit with the flotation tank 106. The partition slide plates 115 are used to prevent the apples in the flotation tank 106 from entering the sorting side boxes 107. There is a clearance gap 125 between the surface of the partition slide plate 115 closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 and the flotation tank 106. The clearance gap 125 between the surface of the partition slide plate 115 closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 and the flotation tank 106 is equal to the thickness of the sorting half sieve plate 114.

[0034] A positioning slide 117 is symmetrically slidably installed on the sorting slide 120, a positioning screw 119 is symmetrically rotatably installed on the sorting slide 120, a double-head positioning motor 124 is fixedly installed on the sorting slide 120, the output shafts at both ends of the double-head positioning motor 124 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning screw 119, the spiral directions of the two positioning screws 119 are opposite, the positioning slide 117 and the corresponding positioning screw 119 form a spiral pair, the end of the positioning slide 117 farthest from the axis of the positioning screw 119 is fixedly provided with a cross push plate 123, and the sorting slide 121 is provided with a slide groove that cooperates with the cross push plate 123.

[0035] Cross limit plates 122 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the sorting slide 120, and the cross push plate 123 is located between the corresponding two cross limit plates 122. The two cross limit plates 122 and the corresponding cross push plates 123 on the same side of the sorting slide 120 coincide with each other in projection relative to the lower surface of the base plate 101. The distance between the two cross limit plates 122 on the same side of the sorting slide 120 is equal to the thickness of the cross push plate 123. Two engaging long rods 118 are fixedly provided on the adjusting slide 117, and two through holes cooperating with the engaging long rods 118 are provided on the separating slide 115.

[0036] In the initial position, the separation slide 115 and the sorting slide 120 are both located at the position closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101, and the sorting side box 107 is located at the position farthest from the lower surface of the sorting slide 120. At this time, the sorting half-sieve plate 114 closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 in the sorting side box 107 is located at the position farthest from the lower surface of the bottom plate 101, that is, at this time, the sorting half-sieve plate 114 closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 in the sorting side box 107 is in contact with the separation slide 115 and the floating The clearance gap 125 between the selection pools 106 is butted, and the two adjustment slides 117 are at the farthest positions apart. The slide groove and the cross push plate 123 on the sorting slide 121 farthest from the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 are in a engaged state. Under the action of the two partition slides 115, the flotation pool 106 and the two sorting side boxes 107 are divided into three chambers, and the sorting half-sieve plates 114 in the two sorting components are respectively located on the inner sides of the chambers on both sides of the flotation pool 106.

[0037] After the apples are placed in the water of the flotation tank 106, the sorting of the apples is completed under the action of the buoyancy generated by the water in the flotation tank 106. Then, the switching motor 132 is started to drive the switching lead screw 133 to rotate, so that the switching slide plate 134 moves downward relative to the sorting carriage 120, that is, the two sorting side boxes 107 move downward relative to the sorting carriage 120, and further the chute on the sorting slide plate 121 corresponding to the sorting half sieve plate 114 closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 in the two sorting side boxes 107 is engaged with the corresponding cross push plate 123. At this time, the chutes on the other sorting slide plates 121 are in an engaged state with the cross limit plate 122. Under the action of the cross limit plate 122, the other sorting slide plates 121 cannot move. Then, the double-headed positioning motor 124 is started to drive the two positioning lead screws 119 to rotate synchronously, that is, the two positioning slide seats 117 move in the direction of approaching each other, the connecting long rod 118 moves in the direction of approaching the corresponding partition slide plate 115, and the two cross push plates 123 move in the direction of approaching each other. Under the action of the cross push plates 123, the two sorting half sieve plates 114 closest to the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 move in the direction of approaching each other, and finally the end faces of the two sorting half sieve plates 114 that are farthest apart are engaged. At this time, the two sorting half sieve plates 114 form a complete screening plate, that is, the combination of the screening plate with the largest screen gap width is completed. The apples that meet the requirements are all located above the screening plate. At this time, the connecting long rod 118 is in an engaged state with the through hole on the corresponding partition slide plate 115.

[0038] Then, the lifting motor 130 is started to drive the lifting lead screw 131 to rotate, so that the sorting carriage 120 moves upward, and the sorting side box 107 and the switching slide plate 134 move upward synchronously. Under the action of the connecting long rod 118, the sorting half sieve plate 114 and the partition slide plate 115 both move upward synchronously. Under the action of the two sorting half sieve plates 114 that are combined into a complete screening plate, the apples that meet the screen gap width of the screening plate stay on the screening plate, and the apples smaller than the screen gap width of the screening plate pass through the screen gap of the screening plate and move to the lower part of the screening plate, that is, the apples that meet the requirements of the screening plate move upward. Under the action of the partition slide plate 115, the apples on the screening plate are prevented from falling. Under the action of the sealing slide plate 126, the water in the flotation tank 106 is prevented from leaking when the sorting side box 107 moves. Finally, the upper surface of the screening plate formed by the two sorting half sieve plates 114 and the inner surface of the fruit outlet trough plate 109 are on the same plane. Then, the apples on the screening plate fall along the fruit outlet trough plate 109 onto the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108, and then driving the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108 to rotate realizes the conveying of the apples of this specification.

[0039] Repeat the above steps to screen the apples by combining different sorting half-sieve plates 114 into a screening plate with different sieve slot widths, so as to classify the sizes of the apples that meet the maturity requirements. When classifying the sizes of the apples, it should be noted that when using the screening plate, the sieve slot width needs to ensure that the apples are screened from large to small.

[0040] An auxiliary component is also arranged on the bottom plate 101. The auxiliary component includes an auxiliary sliding seat 102. A plurality of storage boxes 103 are placed on both sides of the auxiliary sliding seat 102. The storage boxes 103 are used to store apples of different specifications after sorting. The auxiliary sliding seat 102 is slidably installed on the bottom plate 101. An auxiliary lead screw 104 is rotatably installed on the bottom plate 101. The auxiliary sliding seat 102 and the auxiliary lead screw 104 form a screw pair. An auxiliary motor 105 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 101. The output shaft of the auxiliary motor 105 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary lead screw 104. Drying machines 112 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom plate 101. The drying machines 112 are used to dry the apples conveyed by the conveying group 108. The drying machines 112 are fixedly connected to the mountain surfaces of the shielding plates 111.

[0041] Working principle: Put the apples to be sorted into the water in the flotation tank 106. The apples with high maturity are located in the upper area of the water, and the apples with low maturity are located in the lower area of the water. Then start the switching motor 132 to drive the switching slide plate 134 to move, that is, make the two sorting side boxes 107 move synchronously, and then make the sorting slide plate 121 corresponding to the sorting half-sieve plate 114 with the required sieve slot width engage with the cross push plate 123. Then start the double-headed positioning motor 124 to make the two positioning slide seats 117 move towards each other, and then make the two sorting half-sieve plates 114 with the required sieve slot width move towards each other. Finally, make the end faces of the two sorting half-sieve plates 114 that are closest to each other engage, that is, the two sorting half-sieve plates 114 form a complete screening plate. Start the auxiliary motor 105 to drive the auxiliary lead screw 104 to rotate, that is, make the auxiliary sliding seat 102 rotate relative to the bottom plate 101, and then make the storage box 103 corresponding to the apples of this size on the auxiliary sliding seat 102 move to the end of the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108.

[0042] And at this time, the joint long rod 118 is joined with the through holes on the corresponding partition slide plate 115. Then, the upward movement motor 130 is started to drive the sorting carriage 120 to move upward, and the screening plates formed by the two sorting half-screen plates 114 move upward synchronously. The apples that conform to the screening plates move upward synchronously under the action of the screening plates. Finally, the screening plates are joined with the fruit outlet trough plate 109, and the apples on the screening plates fall onto the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108 along the fruit outlet trough plate 109. At the same time, the conveying motor 110 is started to drive the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108 to rotate. Under the action of the baffle plate 111, it is prevented that the apples fall from the conveyor belt in the conveying group 108. Under the action of the dryer 112, the apples are dried. Finally, under the action of the conveying group 108, the apples of this size fall into the storage box 103 for storing the apples of this size.

[0043] Repeat the above steps, so that the screening plates with different sieve slot widths screen the apples, and then the apples of different sizes are respectively stored in the corresponding storage boxes 103. When the storage box 103 is full, take away the storage box 103 and replace it with a new storage box 103.

[0044] After the screening of the apples that meet the requirements in the upper area of the water in the flotation tank 106 is completed, the displacement motor 128 is started to drive the displacement lead screw 127 to rotate, that is, the cleaning screen plate 113 and the U-shaped slide plate 116 move upward synchronously. Under the action of the cleaning screen plate 113, the apples that do not meet the requirements remaining in the flotation tank 106 move upward. Finally, this part of the apples falls onto the conveying group 108 along the fruit outlet trough plate 109. Under the action of the conveying group 108, this part of the apples is stored in the corresponding storage box 103. When it is necessary to replace the water in the flotation tank 106, just open the solenoid valve 129.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various changes starting from the above concepts without creative labor, and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
