The terms "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of convenience of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features. The meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a fruit receiving device 100 and a sorting machine having the same, and the fruit receiving device 100 can classify and store the sorted target objects. It can be understood that the target objects can be fruits, wherein the fruits can be oranges, apples and / or pears, which can be selected according to actual conditions and are not limited here.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fruit receiving device 100 includes: a first partition plate 102 and a fruit receiving plate 101 having a receiving cavity 110, wherein the receiving cavity 110 has an opening 111 for the target object to enter. It can be understood that the opening 111 is arranged upward, and the target object can fall into the receiving cavity 110 from top to bottom through the opening 111. The shape of the opening 111 can be circular or rectangular. In this embodiment, the shape of the opening 111 is rectangular, and the shape of the receiving cavity 110 is also a rectangular cavity. In other embodiments, the selection can be made according to the actual situation, and there is no limitation here.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2, a plurality of the first partition plates 102 are arranged at intervals along a predetermined path in the accommodating chamber 110 to divide the accommodating chamber 110 into a plurality of fruit output intervals 104, and the fruit output intervals 104 are used to accommodate the target objects; at least one of the first partition plates 102 is detachably connected to the fruit receiving plate 101. It can be understood that each fruit output interval 104 is independent of each other and is used to accommodate targets of different qualities. Two fruit output intervals 104 are formed on both sides of any first partition plate 102. By disassembling the first partition plate 102 that is detachable from the fruit receiving plate 101, the corresponding two fruit output intervals 104 are connected, and the two fruit output intervals 104 are merged into one fruit output interval 104, thereby adjusting the number of fruit output intervals 104.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fruit receiving device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a fruit receiving plate 101 and a plurality of first partition plates 102. The fruit receiving plate 101 has a receiving cavity 110. The first partition plates 102 are arranged in the receiving cavity 110 along a predetermined path, thereby dividing the receiving cavity 110 into a plurality of independent fruit output intervals 104. At least one first partition plate 102 is detachably connected to the fruit receiving plate 101. By removing the first partition plate 102 from the receiving cavity 110, the number of fruit output intervals 104 can be adjusted to improve the application range and efficiency of the fruit receiving device 100.

[0032] It is understandable that two or more first partition plates 102 may be detachably connected to the fruit receiving tray 101, or each first partition plate 102 may be detachably connected to the fruit receiving tray 101. The selection may be made based on actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, in the present embodiment, the number of the first partition plates 102 is two, thereby dividing the accommodating cavity 110 into three fruit outlet intervals 104 along a predetermined path direction. In other embodiments, the number of the first partition plates 102 may be three or more, which is not limited here and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0034] It is also understandable that a first partition plate 102 may be added along a predetermined path in the fruit output interval 104 , so as to divide one fruit output interval 104 into two fruit output intervals 104 , thereby increasing the number of fruit output intervals 104 .

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the predetermined path is a straight line or a curve.

[0036] Optionally, the predetermined path is a straight line, that is, the length direction of the straight line can be the same as the straight line conveying direction of the target object, and the width of each fruit output interval 104 along the conveying direction is the same, so that the volume of each fruit output interval 104 is the same, or the width changes in a geometric progression or an arithmetic progression to accommodate targets of different masses and different quantities, that is, a fruit output interval 104 with a larger width is provided for a larger number of targets of the same mass, and a fruit output interval 104 with a smaller width is provided for a smaller number of targets of the same mass. There is no limitation here and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0037] See also Figure 4 Optionally, the predetermined path is a curve, and the length direction of the first partition plate 102 is perpendicular to the tangent of the connection with the curve, thereby separating the fruit output intervals 104 with different volumes to meet actual needs.

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, a connecting hole 1014 is formed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 110, a through hole 1021 is formed at a position corresponding to the connecting hole 1014 on the first partition plate 102, and the fruit receiving device 100 further includes a connecting member 200, one end of the connecting member 200 passes through the through hole 1021 and extends to the connecting hole 1014, so that the first partition plate 102 can be detachably connected to the fruit receiving plate 101.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, two connecting holes 1014 are provided, and the first partition plate 102 is provided with a through hole 1021 corresponding to each connecting hole 1014. The reliability of the connection between the first partition plate 102 and the fruit tray 101 can be improved by two connecting members 200, and the two connecting members 200 are respectively located at both ends of the first partition plate 102.

[0040] It can also be understood that a plurality of connection holes 1014 can be arranged along the direction of the predetermined path, so that the width between two adjacent first partition plates 102 can be adjusted, and thus the width of a single fruit output interval 104 can be adjusted to meet actual needs.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the wall of the connecting hole 1014 is provided with an internal thread, and the connecting member 200 includes a bolt 201 and an operating head 202 located at one end of the bolt 201, and the other end of the bolt 201 passes through the through hole 1021 and is screwed into the connecting hole 1014.

[0042] Optionally, the operating head 202 is butterfly-shaped, so that the bolt 201 can be driven to rotate by manual operation without the aid of tools to lock the bolt 201 in the connecting hole 1014 or rotate it out of the connecting hole 1014. This improves user friendliness and work efficiency.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, instead of providing an internal thread in the connecting hole 1014 , a nut 203 may be provided on one end of the bolt 201 inserted into the connecting hole 1014 to achieve a detachable connection between the first partition plate 102 and the fruit receiving tray 101 .

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, a positioning groove is formed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 110 , and an edge of the first partition plate 102 is detachably clamped in the positioning groove.

[0045] It is understandable that the positioning groove can be set to a dovetail groove structure, and the shape of the portion where the first partition plate 102 is inserted into the positioning groove is adapted to the shape of the dovetail groove, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the first partition plate 102 and the fruit receiving tray 101.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, a female buckle may be provided in the positioning groove, and a male buckle may be provided on the first partition plate 102, so that the first partition plate 102 and the fruit receiving tray 101 are detachably connected through the snap connection of the female buckle and the male buckle.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, each of the first partition plates 102 is detachably connected to the fruit receiving tray 101, and the first partition plates 102 have a first position state and a second position state. When the first partition plate 102 is in the first position state, the first partition plate 102 is located in and is used to separate the accommodating cavity 110; when the first partition plate 102 is in the second position state, the first partition plate 102 releases the separation of the accommodating cavity 110 and is detachably connected to the fruit receiving tray 101.

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be understood that when the first partition plate 102 is in the first position, the first partition plate 102 is arranged along a predetermined path and divides the accommodating cavity 110 to form a corresponding fruit output interval 104; and when the first partition plate 102 is in the second position, it is not arranged along the predetermined path, it can be separated from the accommodating cavity 110, but the corresponding two fruit output intervals 104 are connected and merged into one fruit output interval 104.

[0049] It can also be understood that the first partition plate 102 in the second position can be detachably stacked on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 110 to avoid the loss of the first partition plate 102. In the next arrangement, when the first partition plate 102 in the second position needs to be switched to the first position, the first partition plate 102 can be quickly found, avoiding extra time and resources to purchase a new first partition plate 102, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the fruit receiving device 100 further includes a magnetic member, which is connected to the fruit receiving plate 101 and can generate a magnetic field. The first partition plate 102 is made of a magnetic material. When the first partition plate 102 is in the second position, the first partition plate 102 is magnetically connected to the magnetic member.

[0051] Optionally, the first partition plate 102 is made of hardware material or metal iron, the magnetic part is a magnet, and the fruit receiving plate 101 has a magnetic surface, which is located below the accommodating cavity 110 and is arranged opposite to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 110. By magnetically connecting the first partition plate 102 in the second position to the magnet, the loss of the first partition plate 102 can also be avoided.

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first partition plate 102 in the second position is stacked on another first partition plate 102 in the first position.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, when the number of fruit output intervals 104 needs to be reduced, the disassembled first partition plate 102 can be superimposed on another first partition plate 102 in the first position state, so that the two first partition plates 102 form a higher blocking interval to prevent the target object from sliding from the fruit output interval 104 on one side to the fruit output interval 104 on the other side.

[0054] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the fruit receiving plate 101 includes a fixed bottom plate 1011, a material blocking side plate 1012, and a second partition plate 1015 detachably connected to the fixed bottom plate 1011, the material blocking side plate 1012 and the second partition plate 1015 are both located on the same side plate surface of the fixed bottom plate 1011, and two second partition plates 1015 are respectively provided at both ends of the material blocking side plate 1012. The material blocking side plate 1012, the fixed bottom plate 1011 and the two second partition plates 1015 jointly form the accommodating cavity 110, and each of the first partition plates 102 is located between the two second partition plates 1015 along the predetermined path.

[0055] Optionally, the first partition plate 102 and the second partition plate 1015 are equivalent in structure and function, so that the first partition plate 102 and the second partition plate 1015 can be prepared in batches, reducing costs. The second partition plate 1015 can also be detachably connected to the fixed bottom plate 1011 through the connecting member 200.

[0056] See also Figure 5 It can be understood that each first partition plate 102 and each second partition plate 1015 are arranged along the length direction of the material blocking side plate 1012, and there is a fruit output area 104 between any two adjacent first partition plates 102, and there is a fruit output area 104 between any second partition plate 1015 and the adjacent first partition plate 102.

[0057] See also Figure 5 Optionally, a plurality of discharge ports 1017 are provided on the material-blocking side plate 1012, each of the discharge ports 1017 is connected to each of the fruit-discharging intervals 104, and a baffle 1016 is detachably provided in any of the discharge ports 1017. It is understandable that when the baffle 1016 is at the discharge port 1017, the baffle 1016 can seal the fruit-discharging interval 104 from the discharge port 1017 to prevent the fruit in the fruit-discharging interval 104 from leaking out from the discharge port 1017. When it is necessary to discharge and load the fruit in the fruit-discharging interval 104, the baffle 1016 can be removed to perform the operation, thereby improving the efficiency of discharging the fruit.

[0058] Optionally, the baffle 1016 can be adsorbed to the inner wall of the discharge port 1017 by a magnetic effect, or can be screwed to the fixed bottom plate 1011 by bolts 201. There is no limitation here and the selection can be made according to actual conditions.

[0059] See also Figure 5Optionally, the fruit tray 101 further comprises a support leg 1013 for supporting the fixed bottom plate 1011, and a plurality of the support legs 1013 are arranged at intervals. Each of the support legs 1013 is rotatably connected to the fixed bottom plate 1011, and the fixed bottom plate 1011 rotates relative to each of the support legs 1013 to adjust the orientation of the opening 111.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown by the double-directional arrows, the fixed bottom plate 1011 can rotate relative to the supporting legs 1013 in a certain vertical plane, rotating upward or downward, so that the direction of the opening 111 can be adjusted, which is beneficial for each fruit output interval 104 to receive the fruit. Moreover, the orientation of the opening 111 is different, and the path of the fruit falling into the fruit output interval 104 is different. By shortening the path of the fruit falling into the fruit output interval 104, a buffering effect can be played on the fruit.

[0061] The present invention further proposes a sorting machine, which includes a fruit receiving device 100. The specific structure of the fruit receiving device 100 refers to the above embodiment. Since the sorting machine adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it also has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0062] In some embodiments, the sorting machine further comprises a sorting body docked with the fruit receiving device 100 , and the sorting body is used to deliver the target object to each of the fruit output intervals 104 .

[0063] See also Figure 3 Optionally, multiple targets are conveyed in a straight line on the sorting body, and two fruit receiving devices 100 are provided. The two fruit receiving devices 100 are arranged along the conveying direction of the targets, and one end of the two fixed bottom plates 1011 are butt-jointed, wherein the second partition plate 1015 on one fruit receiving device 100 is spliced ​​with the second partition plate 1015 of the other fruit receiving device 100, and by simultaneously disassembling the two spliced ​​second partition plates 1015, the fruit output interval 104 on one fruit receiving device 100 can be connected to the fruit output interval 104 of the other fruit receiving device 100, thereby improving the convenience of use and work efficiency of the sorting machine.

[0064] Optionally, each supporting foot 1013 is located on the same side of the fixed bottom plate 1011, and the other side of the fixed bottom plate 1011 is detachably connected to the sorting body.

[0065] The above are only optional embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations.
