Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and particularly relates to an apple netting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] During the transportation of fruits, they are prone to collide and be squeezed against conveying pipes, boxes, and the ground, resulting in damage. These situations lead to a high damage rate of fruits. Therefore, it is necessary to put protective net sleeves on individual fruits to avoid damage during transportation. An apple netting mechanism known to the inventor first transports fruits to the first distribution tray (below the net sleeve mechanism) through the conveyor belt on the left side of the machine, then the net sleeve mechanism guides the net sleeve to cover the fruit, and then performs net sleeve cutting to achieve the packaging of the fruit with the net sleeve. Next, the packaged fruit falls from the first distribution tray to the second distribution tray and is conveyed out through the second distribution tray onto the conveyor belt. However, this apple netting mechanism has a complex design structure. When the net sleeve cylinder uses the net sleeve spreading block to spread the net sleeve and cover it on the fruit, to achieve the cutting of the net sleeve, it is necessary to move the net sleeve cylinder upward to separate it from the fruit. However, during this process, for the net sleeve covered on the fruit to stay on the fruit, it completely relies on the friction between the fruit and the net sleeve, which easily causes the fruit to separate from the net sleeve, resulting in the fruit not being successfully covered with the net sleeve.

[0003] Therefore, designing an apple netting mechanism that can avoid the separation of the fruit from the net sleeve during the net sleeve covering process and improve the success rate of fruit net sleeve covering on the basis of a simple structure is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] The object of the present invention is to provide an apple net - sleeving mechanism, which can avoid the detachment of fruits from the net sleeve during the net - sleeving process on the basis of ensuring a simple structure, and improve the success rate of fruit net - sleeving.

[0028] In order to make the above - mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1-2 , in the apple net - sleeving mechanism disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, it at least includes a bracket 1. A net - sleeve guide for conveying the net sleeve is fixedly arranged on the bracket 1. A transmission member for transmitting fruits is arranged at the top of the bracket 1. A moving roller 13 is arranged on the side wall of the bracket 1 far from the net - sleeve guide. One end of the moving roller 13 is connected to the bracket 1 through a telescopic mechanism 12. The other end of the moving roller 13 is arranged at the output end of the net sleeve and is located below the transmission member for receiving fruits.

[0030] The net - sleeve guide includes an inner shell 20. An outer shell 14 is sleeved outside the inner shell 20. A starting member 16 is arranged on the outer wall of the outer shell 14. The net sleeve is arranged between the outer shell 14 and the inner shell 20. A rolling member is arranged axially on the outer shell 14. The rolling member passes through the shell of the outer shell 14 and contacts the net sleeve arranged between the outer shell 14 and the inner shell 20. The starting member 16 is in transmission connection with the rolling member. The rolling member includes two or more meshing rollers 15. The starting member 16 drives the rollers to rotate. The rollers 15 contact the net sleeve. During the rotation of the rollers 15, the conveyance of the net sleeve is realized.

[0031] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to sleeve the net sleeve on the fruit, the fruit is transmitted through the transmission member. The telescopic mechanism 12 moves the moving roller 13 to directly below the transmission member to hold the fruit. Then, the telescopic mechanism 12 continues to move, and after passing through the net - sleeve cutting member, the fruit is pushed to the net - sleeve guide. At this time, the net sleeve is conveyed out from between the inner shell 20 and the outer shell 14 under the action of the net - sleeve guide. The moving roller 13 drives the fruit to move into the net sleeve. After the net sleeve sleeves the moving roller 13 and the fruit at the same time, the moving roller 13 drives the fruit and the net sleeve to retreat. During the retreat process, by arranging the net - sleeve guide, the conveyance of the net sleeve can be realized. Therefore, the net sleeve sleeved on the fruit and the moving roller 13 will not be subjected to the pulling force of the net sleeve at this time, and the net sleeve can be driven to move through the frictional force between the fruit and the net sleeve, and the situation that the net sleeve comes out of the fruit will not occur, which can greatly improve the success rate of fruit net - sleeving. At this time, after the moving roller 13 moves to a specific position, the net sleeve is cut through the cutting mechanism, and the net - sleeving work of the fruit can be completed.

[0032] It should be noted that the telescopic mechanism 12 can be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, as long as it can achieve the reciprocating movement of the moving roller 13. The starting member 16 meshes with the roller 15 at the output end far from the mesh sleeve through the gear 18, and drives the roller 15 at the conveying end far from the mesh sleeve to mesh, so as to realize the rotation of all the meshing rollers 15. The mesh sleeve conveying mechanism is fixedly connected to the frame through the housing bracket 19 provided on the housing 14.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 , as an implementation manner, the inner shell 20 is a conical structure, and the large-mouth end of the conical structure is arranged close to the moving roller 13. By setting the inner shell 20 as a conical structure and arranging the large-mouth end close to the moving roller 13, the mesh sleeve can be enlarged during the mesh sleeve conveying process, making it easier for fruits to be sleeved inside the mesh sleeve, and further improving the success rate during the fruit sleeving process.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 , as an implementation manner, two or more rolling members and a starting member 16 for driving the rolling members are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the housing 14. By evenly arranging two or more rolling members in the circumferential direction of the housing 14, the mesh sleeve can be stressed in the entire circumferential direction, avoiding the problem of the mesh sleeve being damaged during the mesh sleeve conveying process due to uneven stress.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-2 , as an implementation manner, the apple netting mechanism further includes a clamping mechanism 7 for clamping the mesh sleeve roll 8. The clamping mechanism 7 is fixedly arranged on the bracket 1 and is located below the mesh sleeve guide. A support shaft rotatably connected to the mesh sleeve roll 8 is arranged on the clamping mechanism 7. By providing the clamping mechanism 7 for the mesh sleeve roll 8, continuous conveying of the mesh sleeve can be realized, improving the efficiency of fruit netting;

[0036] It should be noted that an avoidance hole 5 for the mesh sleeve to pass through is opened on the side wall of the bracket 1, and the mesh sleeve passes through the avoidance hole 5 and is conveyed between the inner shell 20 and the outer shell 14.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 , as an implementation manner, the mesh sleeve cutting member includes a fixing plate 22 fixedly arranged on the bracket 1. A through hole for the moving roller 13 to pass through is arranged on the fixing plate 22. A first guide rail and a second guide rail are arranged in parallel on the outer periphery of the through hole. A first slider 25 and a second slider 26 are respectively slidably arranged on the first guide rail and the second guide rail. A resistance wire 24 is arranged on the first slider 25 and the second slider 26. The resistance wire 24 is connected to a regulator 23 arranged on the fixing plate 22. Cutting by the resistance wire 24 can improve cutting efficiency, stability and safety, and at the same time reduce maintenance costs. By providing the regulator 23, the electrodes of the resistance wire 24 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the cutting intensity of the resistance wire 24.

[0038] ReferenceFigure 4 As an implementation, the apple netting mechanism further includes a paddle mechanism disposed between the telescopic mechanism 12 and the moving roller 13. The paddle mechanism includes a support plate 21 disposed on the bracket 1. On the surface of the support plate 21 close to the net sleeve guide member, a paddle 11 for pushing the fruit after netting is fixedly provided. A through hole for the moving roller 13 to pass through is formed on the support plate 21. By providing the paddle mechanism, when the moving roller 13 drives the fruit after netting to retreat to a designated position, the fruit after netting can be pushed off the moving roller 13 by the paddle mechanism, eliminating the need for manual picking of the fruit after netting, which can greatly improve the efficiency of apple netting.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the paddle 11 is an arc-shaped piece, and the arc-shaped piece fits the shape of the fruit. When pushing the fruit, it can fit the shape of the fruit to avoid damaging the fruit.

[0040] Reference Figure 1-2 In one embodiment, the apple netting mechanism further includes a blanking mechanism 6. The blanking mechanism 6 is provided with a blanking port 10 directly below the paddle 11. The blanking port 10 is communicated with a guiding cylinder 9 for guiding the fruit after netting. By providing the blanking mechanism 6, the blanking of the fruit after netting can be realized, eliminating the need for manual blanking work.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the moving roller 13 is an arc-shaped roller with an open upper end. The arc-shaped roller fits the shape of the fruit, enabling better support for the fruit and preventing the fruit from falling out of the moving roller 13.

[0042] Reference Figure 1-2 As an implementation, the transmission member includes a transmission groove 2 and a feeding port 4. The transmission groove 2 is disposed at the top of the bracket 1. One end of the transmission groove 2 is for feeding, and the other end is connected to the feeding port 4 disposed on the bracket 1. A buffer member for buffering the fruit is provided on the inner wall circumference of the feeding port 4. By providing the buffer member, the fruit falling from the feeding port 4 can be buffered to avoid damaging the fruit;

[0043] It should be noted that the buffer member is a brush or other components that can buffer the falling fruit. A partition 3 for dividing the fruit is provided on the transmission groove 2.

[0044] Reference Figure 1-2 As an implementation, a counting device for counting the fruit is provided on the frame. Specifically, the counting device includes an infrared reflecting plate disposed on the fixing plate 22 and an infrared emitter 17 for emitting an infrared signal to the infrared reflecting plate. When the moving roller 13 reciprocates through the through hole once, the counting device counts once.

[0045] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: The mesh sleeve roll 8 enters through the avoidance hole 5 provided on the left side of the apple sleeve net mechanism and is installed between the outer shell 14 and the inner shell 20. The starting member 16 at the upper end of the mesh sleeve conveying mechanism starts to drive the mesh sleeve to be conveyed in the direction close to the moving roller 13. At the same time, the fruit falls onto the feed inlet 4 by the transmission member. The telescopic mechanism 12 pushes the moving roller 13 to directly below the feed inlet 4, and the fruit falls onto the fruit roller. Due to the bristles arranged around the feed inlet 4, it can play a role in buffering and protecting.

[0046] At this time, the telescopic mechanism 12 continues to push the moving roller 13 to drive the fruit to move towards the mesh sleeve conveying mechanism. At the same time, the mesh sleeve is sleeved on the moving roller 13. Next, the moving roller 13 retreats under the action of the telescopic mechanism 12. During the retreat process, the mesh sleeve conveying mechanism still realizes the conveying of the mesh sleeve. When the moving roller 13 moves to the side of the mesh sleeve cutting member close to the telescopic mechanism 12, the resistance wire 24 on the mesh sleeve cutting member heats up, and realizes mesh sleeve cutting under the drive of the first slider 25 and the second slider 26.

[0047] At this time, the telescopic mechanism 12 drives the fruit roller to continue to retreat. During the retreat process, it touches the flap 11, and the flap 11 drives the fruit wrapped with the mesh sleeve to fall to the lower discharge port. Thus, a working process is completed, and the device counts once.

[0048] Adaptations made according to actual needs are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0049] It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.
