Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sorting equipment, specifically to an intelligent sorting device for agricultural products. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural product sorting equipment is a type of mechanical or intelligent equipment specifically designed for the automated or semi-automated classification and screening of various agricultural products. Its core function is to quickly sort agricultural products into different grades or categories based on preset standards and intrinsic quality to meet the needs of subsequent processing, storage, and sales.

[0003] Vegetable sorting equipment is a type of equipment specifically designed for vegetables. It automates the grading and sorting of vegetables based on the standard of "equal or close weight". Its core function is to classify vegetables into preset weight ranges through precise weighing and automated control, ensuring that the weight of vegetables sorted in the same batch is uniform, thus meeting the needs of standardized packaging, sales or processing.

[0004] While existing vegetable sorting equipment can achieve uniform weight grading of vegetables in the same batch and meet the requirements of standardized packaging, it still has shortcomings in actual operation: the equipment discharge end requires staff to manually collect the vegetables by hand holding the storage box, and the collected vegetables still need to be sorted a second time. These two manual operations not only increase the labor intensity, but also reduce the overall work efficiency to a certain extent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent sorting device for agricultural products to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

An electric push rod 12 is installed at one end of the limit frame 14, and a storage box 15 is placed on the top of the limit frame 14. Through the slide rail 13 and the limit frame 14, the electric push rod 12 drives the limit... The positioning frame 14 moves at the top of the slide rail 13, thereby moving the storage box 15. This allows the storage box 15 to receive vegetables according to their weight, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving the efficiency of the equipment to a certain extent. The positioning block 5 and roller 8 are used to limit the position of the positioning block 5 by rotating the screw 7, thereby limiting the direction of vegetable flow. The roller 8 also facilitates the rapid flow of vegetables and is suitable for different types of vegetables within a certain range, improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0041] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 8 The output end of the electric push rod 12 is connected to the outer wall of the limiting frame 14, and the limiting frame 14 is divided. The shape of the limiting frame 14 facilitates the placement of multiple storage boxes 15, and vegetables of the same weight can fall into the same storage box 15 according to their different weights.

[0042] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3A rotating rod 9 is provided between the support frame 1 and the guide plate 4, and a ratchet pawl assembly 10 is installed at one end of the rotating rod 9. The ratchet pawl assembly 10 is connected to the outer wall of the support frame 1. The ratchet pawl assembly 10 effectively limits the position of the rotating rod 9, thereby limiting the height of the guide plate 4 and improving the stability of the guide plate 4.

[0043] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 A sleeve 11 is movably installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 9, and the outer wall of the sleeve 11 is convex. The sleeve 11 is set so that it can rotate on the outer wall of the rotating rod 9, reducing the phenomenon of vegetables getting stuck when they fall into the top of the guide plate 4.

[0044] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6 The support frame 1 has fixed blocks 6 at both ends, and the other end of the fixed block 6 is movably connected to the positioning block 5. The fixed blocks 6 effectively support and limit the positioning block 5, thereby improving the stability after displacement.

[0045] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6 The outer wall of the positioning block 5 is provided with multiple sets of rollers 8, and the rollers 8 are movably connected to the positioning block 5. The multiple sets of rollers 8 facilitate the guidance of vegetables, and can be used for different types of vegetables within a certain range, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0046] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6 The outer wall of the screw 7 is provided with external threads, and the screw 7 is sleeved in the support frame 1. The support frame 1 and the screw 7 are connected by threads. By rotating the screw 7, the position of the positioning block 5 is limited, thereby limiting the direction of vegetable flow.

[0047] Second embodiment:

[0048] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that, while retaining Embodiment 1, a weighing module 16 and a warning light 17 are added to the inner wall of the limiting frame 14 to facilitate the staff to replace the storage box 15 regularly.

[0049] A weighing module 16 is set at the center point of the limiting frame 14, and a warning light 17 is installed on the top of the limiting frame 14. The weighing module 16 and the warning light 17 are connected. When the vegetables in the storage box 15 reach the set weight value, the warning light 17 starts to flash to remind the staff, so that the staff can replace the storage box 15.

[0050] In practical operation, this invention:

[0051] When vegetables need to be sorted, first manually rotate screw 7 to move positioning block 5. Stop rotating when it reaches the appropriate angle. Then adjust the height of guide plate 4 according to the type of vegetable. The support frame 1 and guide plate 4 are connected by rotating rod 9. One end of rotating rod 9 is equipped with ratchet pawl assembly 10. The ratchet pawl assembly 10 limits the position of guide plate 4, which improves the stability of guide plate 4 and the practicality of the equipment.

[0052] Furthermore, when vegetables are placed on top of the placement area 3, the sensing system detects the weight of the top of the placement area 3. Vegetables that meet the weight are moved by the small conveyor belt 2 on the inner wall of the placement area 3 to the top of the large conveyor belt 2. Through the movement of the large conveyor belt 2, the vegetables flow into the storage box 15 through the guide plate 4.

[0053] Furthermore, when vegetables of the correct weight move to the large conveyor belt 2, the sensor module inside the equipment causes the output end of the electric push rod 12 to drive the limit frame 14 to move, thereby displacing the position of the storage box 15. The vegetables are placed in the matching storage box 15 according to their weight, effectively ensuring that the weight of vegetables sorted in the same batch is uniform and meets the requirements of standardized packaging.

[0054] Secondly, a weighing module 16 is installed on the inner wall of the limit frame 14, and multiple sets of warning lights 17 are installed on the top of the limit frame 14 to detect the weight of the storage box 15 in real time. When the weight of the storage box 15 reaches the set value, the warning light 17 starts to flash to facilitate the replacement of the storage box 15 by the staff, reducing the need for staff to weigh it again and effectively improving the working efficiency of the equipment.
