The two moving blocks are located on both sides of the sorting slot, and the moving blocks slide and cooperate with the slide. When an apple is stuck on the two moving blocks, the electric push rod is started, and the electric push rod pushes the fixed block to move backward, thereby driving the T-shaped plate to move. The movement of the T-shaped plate will push the two moving blocks to slide along the slide through the hinged rod and move away from the sorting slot, so that the apple stuck between the two moving blocks can fall down, thereby quickly solving the problem of stuck; and the opposite side of the two moving blocks is in an arc structure, which can avoid scratching the surface of the apple; the present invention sets a limit mechanism, and the linear push rod and the limit plate cooperate to prevent the apple from rolling directly onto the packaging mechanism, and the limit mechanism can be opened when packaging is required.

When the apples are located on the side close to the inclined surface of the slide plate, the electric push rod is started, and the L-shaped plate is driven to move through the fixed block. Due to the cooperation between the L-shaped plate, the track plate, the fixed rod, the push block, the rotating rod, and the moving long block, the moving long block on the top of the rotating rod will eventually slide along the inner wall of the track plate, and the two push blocks When rotating, the two push blocks will push the apples on the inclined surface of the skateboard, thereby changing the position of the apples; at the same time, through the cooperation of the push plate, the long rod and the limit block, the push plate will rotate along the bottom of the push block, and at the same time, the push plate will move parallel to the direction close to the partition, and the movement of the push plate will squeeze the spring, and the two push plates can guide the rolling of the apples; when the push block is reset, the spring will reset through its own elastic force, and the reset of the spring will reset the push plate, and the reset of the push plate will further push the apples, thereby further ensuring that the apples can enter the packaging mechanism in sequence.

[0038] A plurality of slide plates 35 corresponding to the sorting slots 34 are arranged at intervals on the top of the base 1, and partition plates 36 connected to the bottom of the inclined plate 32 are arranged on both sides of the slide plates 35, and the front sides of the two partition plates 36 corresponding to the slide plates 35 are respectively provided with a limiting mechanism 5 for blocking apples and an anti-stuck mechanism 6 for preventing the apples from getting stuck.

[0039] In order to prevent the apples from being damaged by impact when moving, the inclined surface of the slide plate 35 is paved with a rubber layer.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the anti-stuck mechanism 6 includes a fixed plate 61 arranged on the front side of the two partitions 36 corresponding to the slide plate 35, and the fixed plate 61 is transversely fixed to the side edges of the two partitions 36 corresponding to the slide plate 35; an electric push rod 62 is arranged on the front side of the fixed plate 61, and a fixed block 63 is located on the rear side of the fixed plate 61 and is connected to the output end of the electric push rod 62. A through hole is opened on the fixed plate 61, and the output end of the electric push rod 62 passes through the through hole on the fixed plate 61 and is connected to the fixed block 63; the side of the fixed plate 61 facing the discharge end of the slide plate 35 is the front side, and the side facing away from the slide plate 35 is the front side. 5 is the rear side; a T-shaped plate 64 is arranged on the top of the fixed block 63, and the T-shaped plate 64 is vertically fixed on the top of the fixed block 63; and two moving blocks 65 are relatively slidably arranged on the inclined plate 32 and located on both sides of the sorting slot 34, and hinge rods 66 are respectively hinged between the T-shaped plate 64 and the two moving blocks 65; specifically, the inclined plate 32 is provided with slide grooves 321 connected to the sorting slot 34 along both sides of the sorting slot 34, and the moving blocks 65 are slidably matched with the slide grooves 321, and the two sides of the top of the T-shaped plate 64 are slidably matched with the two slide grooves 321. In addition, the opposite side of the two moving blocks 65 is an arc structure, and the setting of the arc structure can guide the movement of the apples, and at the same time, the setting of the arc structure can avoid scratching the surface of the apples.

[0041] When the two moving blocks 65 in the anti-stuck mechanism 6 are both extended into the sorting slot 34, this is the initial state of the anti-stuck mechanism 6, and the moving blocks 65 can guide the movement of the apples that are about to enter the sorting slot 34; when the apples are stuck between the two moving blocks 65 on the sorting slot 34, the electric push rod 62 is started, and the output end of the electric push rod 62 pushes the fixed block 63 to move backward, and the fixed block 63 moves and drives the T-shaped plate 64 to move, and the T-shaped plate 64 pushes the two moving blocks 65 to slide along the slide slot 321 through the two hinged rods 66, and moves the moving blocks 65 in the direction away from the sorting slot 34, so that the apples stuck between the two moving blocks 65 can fall down, thereby quickly solving the problem of jamming.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, the limiting mechanism 5 includes a transverse plate 51 arranged on the front side of two partitions 36 corresponding to the slide plate 35, the transverse plate 51 is located below the fixed plate 61, a linear push rod 52 is arranged on the top of the transverse plate 51, the linear push rod 52 adopts the existing electric push rod, and a limiting plate 53 is located below the transverse plate 51 and connected to the output end of the linear push rod 52, a through hole is opened on the transverse plate 51, the output end of the linear push rod 52 passes through the through hole on the transverse plate 51 and is connected to the limiting plate 53, the bottom of the limiting plate 53 is close to the lower end of the slide plate 35, and the limiting plate 53 is used to limit the position of the apple on the slide plate 35; when the linear push rod 52 drives the limiting plate 53 to move upward, the limiting plate 53 moves upward, and the apple can roll from the slide plate 35 to the packaging mechanism 4 at this time; when the linear push rod 52 drives the limiting plate 53 to move downward, the apple can be limited.

[0043] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides a packaging machine for apple sorting and bagging, further comprising a centering mechanism 7 for centering the apples on the slide plate 35;

[0044] Specifically, the centering mechanism 7 includes an L-shaped plate 71 arranged at the bottom of the fixed block 63, a track plate 72 arranged at the bottom end of the L-shaped plate 71, the track plate 72 is arranged horizontally, and the length of the track plate 72 is less than the spacing between the two corresponding partitions 36 on the slide plate 35, and a sliding guide groove is provided on the track plate 72 along its length direction; two fixed rods 73 respectively arranged on both sides of the inclined surface of the slide plate 35 and corresponding to the track plate 72, a push block 74 rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the fixed rod 73, and a rotating rod 75 rotatably arranged on the top of the push block 74, and the push block 74 is respectively provided with axial holes matching the fixed rod 73 and the rotating rod 75, so as to achieve rotational cooperation; and a moving long block 76 arranged on the top of the rotating rod 75, the end of the moving long block 76 away from the rotating rod 75 is slidably matched with the track plate 72, and the bottom of the push block 74 is in contact with the inclined surface of the slide plate 35.

[0045] When the fixed block 63 moves, it will drive the L-shaped plate 71 to move. When the L-shaped plate 71 moves, it will drive the track plate 72 to move. The movement of the track plate 72 will push the two corresponding moving long blocks 76 to move. The movement of the two moving long blocks 76 will push the two push blocks 74 to rotate along the outer wall of the fixed rod 73 through their respective rotating rods 75. When the push blocks 74 rotate, they will drive the moving long blocks 76 to slide along the sliding guide grooves on the track plate 72. When the two push blocks 74 rotate, they will push the apples on the inclined surface of the slide plate 35, thereby changing the position of the apples at the side position on the slide plate 35, so that the apples are in the middle position of the slide plate 35, which is convenient for the subsequent packaging mechanism 4 to be packaged.

[0046] The centering mechanism 7 further includes a push plate 77 hinged to the bottom side of the push block 74, the push plate 77 is hinged to the bottom end side wall of the push block 74, the bottom end of the push plate 77 contacts the inclined surface of the slide plate 35, and the push plate 77 is parallel to the partition plate 36; a long rod 78 slidably arranged on the push plate 77 and parallel to the track plate 72, a sliding groove matching the long rod 78 is opened on the side of the push plate 77 close to the partition plate 36, and the sliding groove is opened along the length direction of the push plate 77, and a slider slidably matched with the sliding groove of the push plate 77 is fixed to the end of the long rod 78 close to the push plate 77; and The limit block 79 is located on the outside of the partition 36, and the side of the partition 36 close to the slide plate 35 is the inner side, and the side away from the slide plate 35 is the outer side. The end of the long rod 78 away from the push plate 77 passes through the partition 36 and is connected to the limit block 79. The partition 36 is provided with a sliding hole for the long rod 78 to pass through, that is, to slide. The long rod 78 is sleeved with a spring 710, and the spring 710 is located between the long rod 78 and the partition 36. One end of the spring 710 contacts the slider on the long rod 78, and the other end contacts the partition 36. The bottom end of the push plate 77 contacts the inclined surface of the slide plate 35.

[0047] When the two push blocks 74 rotate, the two push blocks 74 will drive their respective push plates 77 to move. Since the push plates 77 are restricted by the long rods 78, the push plates 77 will rotate along the sides of the push blocks 74. At the same time, the push plates 77 will move parallel to the direction close to the partition plate 36. The movement of the push plates 77 will squeeze the springs 710. When the push blocks 74 are reset, the springs 710 will be reset by their own elastic force, and then the push plates 77 will be reset. The reset of the push plates 77 will further push the apple, thereby further ensuring that the apple is in the middle position of the slide plate 35.

[0048] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a packaging method for an apple sorting and bagging packaging machine, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S1, placing apples on the conveying mechanism 2, starting the conveying mechanism 2 and conveying the apples to the inclined plate 32 of the sorting mechanism 3;

[0050] S2, the apples will roll on the surface of the inclined plate 32, and the rolling of the apples will be guided by the two guide plates 33, so that the apples will fall from different sorting slots 34 to the slide plate 35 according to their sizes;

[0051] Under the action of the centering mechanism 7, the apples can be located in the middle position on the slide plate 35, so that when they are subsequently packed, the apples can enter the packing mechanism 4 in sequence, which is convenient for the packing operation.

[0052] S3, the limiting mechanism 5 limits the apples on the slide plate 35 from continuing to roll, and the anti-stuck mechanism 6 can prevent the apples from getting stuck on the sorting slot 34;

[0053] When not being packed, the limiting plate 53 in the limiting mechanism 5 limits the apples on the slide plate 35, and the anti-jamming mechanism 6 can quickly process the apples when they are stuck, thereby avoiding malfunctions caused by jamming.

[0054] S4, put the packing bag on the outside of the packing mechanism 4, and use the external manipulator to lift the packing bag, start the limiting mechanism 5, and the apples on the slide plate 35 will gradually roll onto the packing mechanism 4 and then fall into the packing bag;

[0055] When the limiting mechanism 5 is started, its linear push rod 52 drives the limiting plate 53 to move upward. At this time, the apples can smoothly pass through the centering mechanism 7 and enter the packaging mechanism 4.

[0056] S5. After a bag of apples is packed, the limiting mechanism 5 is closed and the unpacked apples are limited, and then the packed apples are taken away by an external manipulator, and the next packing is continued.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
