Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of blackberry sorting, and more specifically, to an automatic fruit sorting device for blackberry processing. Background Art
[0002] Blackberry fruits belong to aggregate fruits, which are formed by many small dry fruits growing on the same flower to form a large fruit; these small dry fruits will become round and plump after ripening, so blackberry fruits look distinct in grains. The pulp tissue of blackberry fruits has relatively large gaps, and these gaps are filled with air, making the overall density of the fruit relatively small; this enables it to float on the water surface. The peel of blackberry fruits is thin and smooth, which helps to reduce the friction with the water surface and makes the fruit easier to float on the water surface.
[0003] Since most blackberry pickings have been achieved by large-scale mechanized picking, during mechanical picking, because there are snails climbing on blackberries and the snails have strong adsorption force and it is difficult to kill them with medicaments, there are relatively many snails remaining on blackberry fruits, which affects subsequent processing. Because of the adsorption of snails, ordinary sorting equipment is difficult to separate them, and it is necessary to pick them one by one manually, which is cumbersome and inefficient.
[0004] In view of this, aiming at the above-mentioned deficiencies, the present invention manufactures an automatic fruit sorting device for blackberry processing. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0019] 1. The device can automatically kill and remove the snails adsorbed on the blackberries by setting up a primary sorting unit, preventing the snails from affecting the subsequent processing of blackberries. There is no need for manual sorting one by one, greatly improving the sorting efficiency of the device.
[0020] 2. By setting up the first collection component, the device can automatically remove the snails from the inside of the primary sorting unit during operation, preventing the situation where the snails accumulate inside the sorting pool, resulting in the pollution and concentration reduction of the brine. It can achieve continuous sorting work and further improve the sorting efficiency.
[0021] 3. By setting up the upper fixing plate and the lower fixing plate, the central rotating cylinder intermittently coincides with the third arc-shaped opening and the fourth arc-shaped opening during rotation, preventing a large amount of brine inside the sorting pool from flowing out when removing the snails. Only a small part of the brine will be driven to flow out during the removal operation, reducing the loss of brine and further improving the device's ability to continuously sort and the sorting efficiency.
[0022] 4. By setting up the first collection component, it prevents the proteins inside the snails from being decomposed by salts due to the long-term immersion of the snails in the brine, resulting in the loss of nutrients, which in turn affects the effect of the snails as fertilizer. The device can preserve the integrity of the snail carcasses, improve the effect as fertilizer, and facilitate the recycling of waste materials.
[0023] 5. By setting up the secondary sorting unit, the U-shaped rotating plate can generate jerky rotation to lift the blackberries above. As the fan works to blow out air, the lighter impurities such as leaves and branches mixed in the blackberries can be blown away to complete the secondary sorting, further improving the sorting accuracy. And setting the sponge pad can quickly absorb the moisture inside the blackberries and prevent the blackberries from falling and being damaged.
[0024] 6. By setting up the second collection component, as the fan works, the lighter impurities on the U-shaped rotating plate will be blown into the inside of the first housing. The lighter impurities will be air-dried and then enter the inside of the second housing. The air flow will pass through the filter holes and be output to the outside of the second collection component, while the lighter impurities such as leaves will be left inside the second housing, facilitating the later collection and being broken and fermented together with the snails as fertilizer for recycling.

[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , an automatic sorting device for blackberries during processing, which includes a protective housing 1. On one side inside the protective housing 1, a primary sorting part 2 for initially sorting blackberries is fixedly installed. At one end inside the protective housing 1 far from the primary sorting part 2, a cleaning pool 3 for cleaning blackberries is fixedly installed. On the outer side of the protective housing 1 close to the primary sorting part 2, a feed hopper 11 is fixedly installed. On the outer side of the protective housing 1 close to the cleaning pool 3, a discharge hopper 12 is fixedly installed. Above the protective housing 1, a plurality of transmission components 4 for driving the primary sorting part 2 and the cleaning pool 3 to work are rotatably installed. At the bottom end of the primary sorting part 2, a first collection component 5 is fixedly installed. There is a secondary sorting part 6 between the primary sorting part 2 and the cleaning pool 3. Above the protective housing 1, a second collection component 7 is fixedly installed. The second collection component 7 is located above the secondary sorting part 6. Inside the primary sorting part 2, a sodium chloride solution with a concentration of six percent, that is, brine, is stored. Clear water is circulated into the inside of the cleaning pool 3.
[0039] During actual use, first, unprocessed blackberry fruits are added into the inside of the primary sorting part 2 through the feed hopper 11. When the blackberry fruits enter the inside of the primary sorting part 2, the primary sorting part 2 can work to conduct the first sorting of the blackberry fruits and separate the snails attached to them. By setting the primary sorting part 2 in this device, the snails adsorbed on the blackberry fruits can be automatically removed when the blackberry fruits enter the primary sorting part 2, and the primary sorting part 2 can convey the blackberry fruits after the removal to the position of the secondary sorting part 6. At this time, the secondary sorting part 6 can conduct the second sorting of the blackberries and remove some lighter impurities such as leaves, thereby realizing secondary sorting. After the secondary sorting by the secondary sorting part 6, the blackberry fruits will enter the inside of the cleaning pool 3, and the cleaning pool 3 can automatically clean the blackberries to prevent the brine on the blackberry fruits from affecting subsequent processing.
[0040] The first-level sorting unit 2 includes a sorting tank 21. At the inner bottom end of the sorting tank 21, a lower outlet 23 is provided. The first collection component 5 is fixedly installed inside the lower outlet 23. An aggregate component 24 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom end of the sorting tank 21. Material-taking box bodies 22 are slidably installed at the upper inner ends of both the sorting tank 21 and the cleaning tank 3. One side of the lower end of the material-taking box body 22 has an inclined filter plate 222. An outlet 223 is provided at one side of the lower end of the sorting tank 21 away from the inclined filter plate 222. A second connecting rod 221 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sorting tank 21. A plurality of sliding sleeves 224 corresponding to the transmission component 4 are sleeved outside the second connecting rod 221.
[0041] During use, the transmission component 4 continuously rotates to drive the material-taking box body 22 to move in a reciprocating up-and-down manner. When blackberries enter the inside of the sorting tank 21, since the sorting tank 21 stores brine with a concentration of at least six percent, brine with a concentration above six percent is fatal to Bradybaena ravida, so it will quickly kill Bradybaena ravida. After being killed, Bradybaena ravida will sink to the bottom, while blackberries will float on the water surface. At this time, when the material-taking box body 22 descends, it can break the surface tension of the brine, and then the brine will push the blackberries into the inside of the material-taking box body 22. At this time, the material-taking box body 22 rises and conveys the blackberries inside it to the inside of the second-level sorting unit 6 through the outlet 223. The brine inside the material-taking box body 22 will return to the inside of the sorting tank 21 through the inclined filter plate 222, and the snails that sink to the bottom will be collected by the aggregate component 24 and enter the inside of the first collection component 5 through the lower outlet 23.
[0042] During use, the material-taking box body 22 inside the cleaning tank 3 will also move in a reciprocating up-and-down manner. The second-level sorting unit 6 will convey the sorted blackberries to the inside of the cleaning tank 3 as the first-level sorting unit 2 works. At this time, the clean water inside the cleaning tank 3 can wash the blackberries to prevent the brine from affecting the subsequent processing of the blackberries. As the device continues to work, the material-taking box body 22 inside the cleaning tank 3 can convey the washed blackberries to the outside of the device along the discharge hopper 12.
[0043] Furthermore, by setting the first-level sorting unit 2, the first-level sorting unit 2 can automatically kill and remove the snails adsorbed on the blackberries, preventing the snails from affecting the subsequent processing of the blackberries, and eliminating the need for manual sorting, thus greatly improving the sorting efficiency of the device.
[0044] The secondary sorting section 6 is used to sort the blackberries sorted by the primary sorting section 2 for a second time and transport them to the inside of the cleaning pool 3. The transmission component 4 includes a main rod 41. The main rod 41 has a first U-shaped section 42 at a position corresponding to the primary sorting section 2, a second U-shaped section 43 at a position corresponding to the cleaning pool 3, and a third U-shaped section 44 at a position corresponding to the secondary sorting section 6. The sliding sleeves 224 on the two second connecting rods 221 are rotatably mounted on the corresponding first U-shaped sections 4 2 and the middle of the second U-shaped segment 43, the middle of the first U-shaped segment 42, the second U-shaped segment 43, and the third U-shaped segment 44 all have a sliding rod 421, the first U-shaped segment 42, the second U-shaped segment 43, and the third U-shaped segment 44 are all composed of two L-shaped parts and a sliding rod 421 connecting the two L-shaped parts. The first motor 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer side of the protective shell 1, and a transmission gear 45 is fixedly installed on one end of the main rod 41. The driving end of the first motor 14 drives the transmission gear 45 to rotate through a chain.
[0045] When in use, the first motor 14 is started, and the first motor 14 drives multiple transmission gears 45 to rotate. When the transmission gear 45 rotates, it will drive the first U-shaped section 42 and the second U-shaped section 43 to rotate. At this time, the sliding sleeve 224 will be driven to slide along the surface of the second connecting rod 221. The first U-shaped section 42 is U-shaped, so it will drive the material box body 22 to reciprocate and lift. When the third U-shaped section 44 is driven to rotate, it will drive the secondary sorting part 6 to work.
[0046] The first collecting component 5 includes a fixed cylinder 51, which is fixedly mounted on the protective shell 1. A central rotating cylinder 52 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the fixed cylinder 51. An upper fixed plate 53 and a lower fixed plate 54 are respectively arranged above and below the central rotating cylinder 52. The upper fixed plate 53 and the lower fixed plate 54 are both fixedly mounted on the fixed cylinder 51. A first arc-shaped opening 521 is provided on the upper surface of the central rotating cylinder 52, and a second arc-shaped opening 522 is provided on the lower surface of the central rotating cylinder 52. The first arc-shaped opening 521 and the second arc-shaped opening 522 are in mutually symmetrical positions. A third arc-shaped opening 531 is opened, and a fourth arc-shaped opening 541 is opened at a position of the lower fixed plate 54 corresponding to the third arc-shaped opening 531. A center rod 523 is fixedly installed at the inner center position of the center rotating cylinder 52, and a plurality of evenly distributed second baffle rods 524 are fixedly installed between the center rod 523 and the center rotating cylinder 52. A plurality of evenly distributed first baffle rods 511 are fixedly installed inside the fixed cylinder 51, and the first baffle rod 511 passes through the center rotating cylinder 52 and is rotatably installed on the center rod 523. The plurality of first baffle rods 511 and the first arc-shaped opening 521 are staggered.
[0047] When in use, the third arcuate opening 531 is connected to the lower outlet 23, and the central rotating drum 52 can rotate continuously. When the central rotating drum 52 rotates so that the first arcuate opening 521 coincides with the third arcuate opening 531, the inactivated snails inside the sorting pool 21 will enter the interior of the central rotating drum 52 through the lower outlet 23, the third arcuate opening 531, and the first arcuate opening 521. At this time, the second arcuate opening 522 is blocked by the lower fixed plate 54. As the central rotating drum 52 rotates, the first arcuate opening 521 is staggered with the third arcuate opening 531, and the third arcuate opening 531 is blocked by the upper fixed plate 53. As the central rotating drum 52 continues to rotate, the second arcuate opening 522 coincides with the fourth arcuate opening 541. At this time, the snails inside the central rotating drum 52 will fall along the second arcuate opening 522 and the fourth arcuate opening 541. When the central rotating drum 52 When the rotation makes the first arc-shaped opening 521 coincide with the third arc-shaped opening 531, the first baffle rod 511 and the second baffle rod 524 are located on the same vertical plane. As the center drum 52 continues to rotate, the first baffle rod 511 and the second baffle rod 524 separate. Since the snail falls into the interior of the center drum 52 through the first arc-shaped opening 521, it will accumulate under the first arc-shaped opening 521. At this time, as the center drum 52 rotates, the second arc-shaped opening 522 becomes relatively close to the first baffle rod 511, and the first baffle rod 511 pushes the snail to approach the second arc-shaped opening 522. When the second arc-shaped opening 522 rotates to coincide with the fourth arc-shaped opening 541, the first baffle rod 511 pushes all the snails inside the center drum 52 through the second arc-shaped opening 522 and the fourth arc-shaped opening 541 to be output to the outside of the device.
[0048] By providing the first collecting component 5, the device can automatically take the snails out of the first-level sorting part 2 when working, preventing the snails from accumulating in the sorting pool 21 and causing the salt water to be contaminated and the concentration to be reduced, thereby achieving continuous sorting work.
[0049] The device is provided with an upper fixing plate 53 and a lower fixing plate 54 so that the central rotating drum 52 intermittently overlaps with the third arc-shaped opening 531 and the fourth arc-shaped opening 541 when rotating, thereby preventing a large amount of brine inside the sorting pool 21 from being lost when taking out the snails. During the taking out operation, only a small part of the brine will be lost, thereby reducing the loss of brine and further improving the ability of the device to perform continuous sorting operations.
[0050] Because snails can be reused as fertilizer after being crushed, a first collecting component 5 is provided to prevent the snails from being immersed in salt water for a long time, which may cause the protein inside the snails to be decomposed by salt and lead to the loss of nutrients, thereby affecting the effect of the snails as fertilizer. This enables the device to preserve the integrity of the snail carcasses, improve the effect as fertilizer, and facilitate the recycling of waste.
[0051] The secondary sorting unit 6 includes a U-shaped rotating plate 61 which is rotatably installed on one side of the cleaning tank 3 close to the primary sorting unit 2. A sponge pad 62 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the U-shaped rotating plate 61. A plurality of distributed ventilation holes are provided on both the U-shaped rotating plate 61 and the sponge pad 62. On both sides of one end of the U-shaped rotating plate 61 close to the primary sorting unit 2, spring telescopic rods 63 are rotatably installed. A first connecting rod 64 is fixedly installed between the two spring telescopic rods 63. A sliding sleeve 224 on the first connecting rod 64 is rotatably installed in the middle of the third U-shaped section 44. On both sides of one end of the U-shaped rotating plate 61 close to the cleaning tank 3, fixed sleeves 65 are also fixedly installed. A round-headed sliding rod 651 is slidably clamped inside the fixed sleeve 65. A spring is fixedly connected between the round-headed sliding rod 651 and the fixed sleeve 65. Wave-shaped plates 13 are fixedly installed at positions corresponding to the two round-headed sliding rods 651 inside the protective housing 1. A fan 15 is provided below the secondary sorting unit 6.
[0052] After the blackberries are sorted by the primary sorting unit 2, they will fall on the surfaces of the U-shaped rotating plate 61 and the sponge pad 62. At this time, as the third U-shaped section 44 rotates, it will drive one end of the first connecting rod 64 and the U-shaped rotating plate 61 to rise. When rising, the spring telescopic rod 63 will rotate. When the U-shaped rotating plate 61 rotates and rises, at this time, the round-headed sliding rod 651 is blocked by the groove on the wave-shaped plate 13, which causes the spring telescopic rod 63 to be stretched. When the spring telescopic rod 63 is stretched to the maximum length, at this time, the round-headed sliding rod 651 will compress the spring and then enter the inside of the fixed sleeve 65. Because the wave-shaped plate 13 is wave-shaped, the U-shaped rotating plate 61 will have a jerky rotation. When the U-shaped rotating plate 61 has a jerky rotation, it will cause the blackberries above to be jolted up. When the blackberries are driven by the vibration effect to be suspended, at this time, as the fan 15 works to blow out air flow, the lighter impurities such as leaves and branches mixed in the blackberries can be blown away to complete the secondary sorting, improving the sorting accuracy. And as one end of the U-shaped rotating plate 61 continues to rise, the U-shaped rotating plate 61 will be inclined. Along with the vibration of the U-shaped rotating plate 61, the blackberries above the U-shaped rotating plate 61 will be conveyed into the cleaning tank 3. The sponge pad 62 is provided to quickly absorb the moisture inside the blackberries and prevent the blackberries from falling and being damaged.
[0053] The second collection component 7 includes a first housing 71. Arc-shaped connecting housings 711 are fixedly installed on both sides of the first housing 71. A second housing 73 is fixedly installed at one end of the arc-shaped connecting housing 711 away from the second collection component 7. Uniformly distributed filter holes 732 are provided at the bottom end of the second housing 73. A conical member 72 is fixedly installed inside the first housing 71.
[0054] As the fan 15 operates, the lighter impurities on the U-shaped rotating plate 61 will be blown into the interior of the first housing 71. Due to the conical member 72 and the arc-shaped connecting housing 711, the air flow will be divided into two streams and blown into the interiors of the two second housings 73 respectively. At this time, the lighter impurities will be air-dried and then enter the interior of the second housing 73. The air flow will pass through the filter holes 732 and be output to the outside of the second collection component 7, while the impurities will be left inside the second housing 73, facilitating later collection and being broken and fermented together with the snails as fertilizer for reuse.
[0055] The fan 15 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom end of the protection housing 1. A second motor 16 is fixedly installed below the protection housing 1. The second motor 16 is used to drive the fan 15 to operate. A gear is rotatably installed on the lower surface of the lower fixing plate 54. The gear is fixedly connected to the central rotating cylinder 52. The lower surface of the protection housing 1 is fixedly installed with a gear reducer 17. The driving end of the second motor 16 is connected to the input end of the gear reducer 17. The input end of the gear reducer 17 is connected to the fan 15. The driving end of the gear reducer 17 drives the gear below the lower fixing plate 54 through a chain for transmission.
[0056] During use, drive the second motor 16 to operate and rotate. The second motor 16 can directly drive the fan blades inside the fan 15 to rotate at high speed to generate an air flow. At the same time, the second motor 16 can drive the gear reducer 17 to work. The gear reducer 17 converts the high-speed rotation of the second motor 16 into a rotation with a lower speed, causing the central rotating cylinder 52 to rotate at a uniform speed, realizing the regular cleaning of the snails inside the first sorting part 2.
[0057] Working principle: In actual use, first add unprocessed blackberries into the interior of the first sorting part 2 through the feed hopper 11. When the blackberries enter the interior of the first sorting part 2, the first sorting part 2 can work to sort the blackberries for the first time and separate the snails attached to them. By setting the first sorting part 2, the snails adsorbed on the blackberries can be automatically removed when the blackberries enter the first sorting part 2, and the first sorting part 2 can convey the blackberries after the removal to the position of the second sorting part 6. At this time, the second sorting part 6 can sort the blackberries for the second time and remove some lighter impurities such as leaves, thus realizing secondary sorting. After the second sorting part 6 performs secondary sorting, the blackberries will enter the interior of the cleaning pool 3, and the cleaning pool 3 can automatically clean the blackberries.
