DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 6 An embodiment of the present invention provides: a sorting device for fruit and vegetable distribution, comprising a base 1 and a sorting frame 4, the sorting frame 4 is movably arranged at the upper end of the base 1, and support rods 2 are fixedly arranged at the front and rear of both sides of the upper end of the base 1, and connecting plates 5 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the support rods 2 on both sides of the sorting frame 4, and the connecting plates 5 on both sides are respectively slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the support rods 2, and a material box 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the front and rear support rods 2 on one side, and a discharge port 901 is arranged on one side of the material box 9 and at the upper end of the sorting frame 4, a plurality of through holes 401 are opened on one side of the sorting frame 4, and a plurality of connecting grooves 402 corresponding to the through holes 401 are opened inside the sorting frame 4 away from the through holes 401, and a sorting rod 10 is detachably connected between the corresponding connecting grooves 402 and the through holes 401.

[0026] Blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of each connecting groove 402, and slots 1001 corresponding to the blocks 11 are provided on both sides of one end of the sorting rod 10, and the blocks 11 are snap-fitted to the corresponding slots 1001, and movable grooves 403 are provided above and below each through hole 401 and inside the sorting frame 4, and a limiting device 12 is provided inside each movable groove 403, and the limiting device 12 includes a limiting plate 1201, and the limiting plate 1201 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable groove 403.

[0027] A second spring 1202 is fixedly connected between one side of the limiting plate 1201 and the inner wall of the movable groove 403, and a limiting block 1203 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 1201 away from the second spring 1202, and one end of the limiting block 1203 away from the limiting plate 1201 extends through and into the through hole 401, and limiting grooves 1002 are provided above and below one end of the sorting rod 10 away from the card slot 1001, and one end of the limiting block 1203 extends through and into the through hole 401 and is plugged into the corresponding limiting groove 1002.

[0028] By passing the sorting rod 10 through the through hole 401, the limiting block 1203 is pushed by the elasticity of the second spring 1202 to slide and contact the outer surface of the sorting rod 10, and then when one end of the sorting rod 10 is inserted into the interior of the connecting groove 402, the card groove 1001 on the outer surface of the sorting rod 10 is engaged with the card block 11, and at this time, the limiting groove 1002 on the outer surface of the other end of the sorting rod 10 corresponds to the movable groove 403, and then the limiting block 1203 is pushed by the elasticity of the second spring 1202 to extend through the interior of the through hole 401 and be plugged into the limiting groove 1002, so that the sorting rod 10 is limited and fixed, and then the sorting rods 10 are installed at different distances according to the above operations.

[0029] The outer surface of the limit block 1203 away from the end of the limit plate 1201 is arranged in an inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the limit block 1203 is in sliding contact with the outer side of the limit groove 1002. The outer surface of the limit block 1203 is in sliding contact with the limit groove 1002, so that the limit block 1203 is convenient to be separated from the limit groove 1002, thereby disassembling the sorting rod 10.

[0030] The top end of the support rod 2 on the other side is fixedly connected to a support frame 3, and a motor 7 is fixedly installed on the top end of the support frame 3. A cam 8 is connected to the output end of the motor 7. The outer surface of the cam 8 contacts the upper end of one of the connecting plates 5. A first spring 6 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of each connecting plate 5 and the upper end of the base 1, and the first spring 6 is wound around the outer surface of the support rod 2. By starting the motor 7, the cam 8 is driven to rotate continuously to press down the connecting plate 5, and the sorting frame 4 moves downward. Then, it is reset under the elastic force of the first spring 6, realizing the up and down reciprocating motion of the sorting frame 4, thereby screening the fruits and vegetables on the sorting frame 4, so that the fruits and vegetables fall from the sorting rods 10 at a suitable distance for sorting.

[0031] One side of the bottom end of the sorting rack 4 is fixedly connected with three groups of guide plates 13, and the guide plates 13 are arranged to be inclined downward. The sorted fruits and vegetables are guided by the guide plates 13 to fall into the receiving box 15 for collection, thereby completing the sorting of fruits and vegetables of different sizes. The guide plates 13 can play a buffering role in the process of the fruits and vegetables falling. One end of the three groups of guide plates 13 away from the sorting rack 4 is fixedly connected with a fixed frame 14, and a receiving box 15 is arranged inside the fixed frame 14. The receiving box 15 is arranged in the fixed frame 14 to prevent the receiving box 15 from displacement.

[0032] When the sorting device for fruit and vegetable distribution is used, the distance between the sorting rods 10 is adjusted according to the volume of different types of fruits and vegetables, and the sorting rod 10 is passed through the through hole 401, so that the limiting block 1203 slides and contacts the outer surface of the sorting rod 10 under the elastic push of the second spring 1202, and then when one end of the sorting rod 10 is inserted into the interior of the connecting groove 402, the clamping groove 1001 on the outer surface of the sorting rod 10 is clamped to the clamping block 11, and the limiting groove 1002 on the outer surface of the other end of the sorting rod 10 corresponds to the movable groove 403, and then the limiting block 1203 is pushed by the elasticity of the second spring 1202 to penetrate and extend to the interior of the through hole 401, and is plugged into the limiting groove 1002, so that the sorting rod 10 is limited and fixed, and then the sorting rods 10 are installed at different distances according to the above operation;

[0033] After the sorting rod 10 is installed, the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are poured into the material box 9, and the fruits and vegetables fall onto the sorting rack 4 through the discharge port 901, and then the motor 7 is started to drive the cam 8 to continuously rotate and press down the connecting plate 5, so that the sorting rack 4 moves downward, and then resets under the elastic force of the first spring 6, so that the sorting rack 4 can reciprocate up and down, thereby screening the fruits and vegetables on the sorting rack 4, so that the fruits and vegetables fall into the corresponding guide plates 13 from between the sorting rods 10 at a suitable distance, and then fall into the receiving box 15 for collection through the guidance of the guide plates 13, thereby completing the sorting of fruits and vegetables of different sizes.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
