Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of navel orange cleaning technology, and in particular to a multi-layer vibration cleaning and grading device for navel oranges based on size and color. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production of navel oranges, size and color are the core indicators that determine their commercial value. The efficiency and precision of the cleaning and grading process directly affect the economic benefits of the industrial chain. Currently, the navel orange processing equipment commonly used in the industry consists of a basic processing line composed of a washing unit and a drying unit connected in series.

[0003] The existing equipment uses a horizontal, straight conveyor belt structure connecting the washing and drying processes. This structure leads to drainage difficulties, resulting in a large amount of water adhering to the surface of the navel oranges after washing. This requires additional heat energy to evaporate the surface water, and the high humidity can cause airflow turbulence in the drying chamber, creating localized hot and humid dead zones, resulting in poor uniformity of drying. In addition, existing cleaning and grading equipment generally lacks an adjustable vibration mechanism, leading to poor cleaning and grading results. In the cleaning stage, due to the lack of vibration excitation, it is difficult to completely remove fine dirt, fruit stem fragments, and other impurities adhering to the surface of the navel oranges. Relying solely on spraying or brushing is insufficient to achieve the desired cleaning effect. Residual impurities not only affect the appearance quality of the fruit but may also clog the grading channels during the grading process, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application proposes a multi-layer vibration cleaning and grading device for navel oranges based on size and color, which has the advantages of vibration cleaning and drying, and solves the problem that existing equipment lacks a vibration mechanism, resulting in poor cleaning and drying effects.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a multi-layer vibration cleaning and grading device for navel oranges based on size and color, comprising a fixed component, a reciprocating component fixedly installed on the top of the fixed component, and a linkage cleaning and sorting mechanism, which includes a cleaning component, the cleaning component fixedly installed on the left side of the reciprocating component, a drying component fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning component, and a sorting component fixedly installed on the front side of the drying component; the reciprocating component includes two supports, each of the tops of which is fixedly connected to a toothed ring, each of the two toothed rings having three planetary gears meshing inside, a sun gear meshing in the middle of the three sets of planetary gears, a first motor fixedly installed between the two sun gears, an H-shaped block fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the first motor, and second push rods movably hinged to the upper and lower sides of the H-shaped block.

[0006] Preferably, the three planetary gears are arranged in a ring array within the gear ring, and the rotation shafts of the two sun gears are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing component includes a base, two brackets are fixedly installed on the top of the base, a slide is provided on the top of the base, a longitudinal plate is fixedly installed on the left side of the slide, and two first push rods are movably inserted into the longitudinal plate.

[0008] Preferably, the two first push rods are longitudinally distributed within the longitudinal plate, divided into a top side and a bottom side, and the two first push rods and the two second push rods are at the same horizontal position.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning box, which is fixedly installed between a first push rod and a second push rod on the top side. A top cover is movably hinged to the top of the cleaning box. A pressure tank is fixedly installed on the back of the cleaning box. Two water spray pipes are fixedly connected to the front of the pressure tank. Impellers are rotatably installed at the bottom of the two water spray pipes. The impellers are rotatably installed on the inner wall of the cleaning box. A first electric rotating plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning box.

[0010] Preferably, the drying assembly includes a drying box, which is fixedly installed between a first push rod and a second push rod on the bottom side. Ventilation slots are provided through the front and rear sides of the drying box. Heating wires are installed on both the front and rear sides of the drying box. Fixing plates are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the two heating wires. Two fans are installed inside the two fixing plates. A water leakage groove is provided at the bottom of the drying box. A second electric rotating plate is fixedly installed on the front side of the water leakage groove.

[0011] Preferably, the sorting assembly includes a rectangular base, which is fixedly installed on the front side of the slide. A guide plate is installed on the top of the rectangular base. Three sorting cylinders are movably engaged inside the rectangular base. The rotation shafts of the three sorting cylinders are all fixedly connected to a wheel. A belt is sleeved on the outer edge of the three wheels. A second motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of one of the wheels.

[0012] Preferably, all three sorting cylinders are provided with circular holes, and the diameters of the three sets of circular holes gradually decrease from far to near. The output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the rotation shaft of one of the rotating wheels.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention, by installing a reciprocating assembly, starts a first motor to rotate reciprocally. Its output shaft drives the sun gears on both sides to rotate synchronously. Since the sun gear meshes with three planet gears arranged in a ring within the gear ring, and the gear ring is fixed to the top of the bracket, the planet gears rotate on their own axes while revolving with the sun gear, thereby increasing the torque. This drives the H-block connected to the sun gear to also perform a reciprocating rotational motion. The H-block transmits the reciprocating motion to the first push rod at the same horizontal position through the second push rod hinged on the upper and lower sides. Ultimately, this drives the cleaning and drying components connected to the first push rod to generate synchronous reciprocating vibrations, solving the problem of poor cleaning and drying effects caused by the lack of a vibration mechanism in existing equipment.

[0014] 2. This invention features a newly designed drying assembly. When the heating wire and fan of the drying assembly are activated, the fan sends the hot air generated by the heating wire into the drying box through the ventilation slots on the front and back sides, ensuring full contact with the turning navel oranges. At the same time, the moisture adhering to the surface of the navel oranges drips off more quickly during the vibration and is discharged quickly through the drainage channel at the bottom of the drying box, preventing water accumulation. The hot air penetrates evenly through the gaps between the navel oranges, effectively eliminating the damp heat dead zones caused by traditional horizontal surface connections, and greatly improving the uniformity of drying.

[0015] 3. This invention, equipped with a sorting component, allows navel oranges falling onto a guide plate to enter above three sorting cylinders under the influence of vibration inertia and gravity. The second motor is then activated, its output shaft driving a connected rotating wheel to rotate. This, in turn, drives the other two rotating wheels and the sorting cylinders to rotate synchronously via belt transmission. Since the diameter of the circular holes in the three sorting cylinders gradually decreases from far to near, the combined effect of the rotating sorting cylinders and the overall vibration of the equipment causes navel oranges with diameters smaller than the circular holes to pass through the corresponding holes in the sorting cylinders in sequence, achieving precise separation of navel oranges of different sizes.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-7 The multi-layer vibration cleaning and grading device for navel oranges of different sizes and colors in this embodiment includes a fixed component 1, a reciprocating component 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed component 1, and a linkage cleaning and sorting mechanism, which includes a cleaning component 3, a cleaning component 3 fixedly mounted on the left side of the reciprocating component 2, a drying component 4 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the cleaning component 3, and a sorting component 5 fixedly mounted on the front side of the drying component 4. The reciprocating component 2 includes two brackets 21, each bracket 21 having a toothed ring 22 fixedly connected to its top. Each toothed ring 22 has three planetary gears 23 meshing inside it, and a sun gear 24 meshing in the middle of the three sets of planetary gears 23. A first motor 25 is fixedly mounted between the two sun gears 24, and an H-shaped block 26 is fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the first motor 25. Second push rods 27 are movably hinged to the upper and lower sides of the H-shaped block 26. The three planetary gears 23 are arranged in a ring array inside the toothed rings 22, and the rotation axes of the two sun gears 24 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 25. The first motor 25 is started to rotate back and forth. Its output shaft drives the sun gears 24 on both sides to rotate synchronously. Since the sun gears 24 mesh with the three planet gears 23 arranged in a ring within the gear ring 22, and the gear ring 22 is fixed to the top of the bracket 21, the planet gears 23 rotate on their own axis while revolving with the sun gears 24, thereby increasing the torque. The H-block 26 connected to the sun gears 24 will also rotate back and forth. The H-block 26 transmits the reciprocating motion to the first push rod 14 at the same horizontal position through the second push rod 27 hinged on the upper and lower sides. Finally, it drives the washing assembly 3 and the drying assembly 4 connected to the first push rod 14 to generate reciprocating vibration synchronously.

[0021] The fixing component 1 includes a base 11, two brackets 21 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 11, a slide rail 12 is provided on the top of the base 11, a longitudinal plate 13 is fixedly installed on the left side of the slide rail 12, and two first push rods 14 are movably inserted into the longitudinal plate 13; the two first push rods 14 are longitudinally distributed in the longitudinal plate 13, divided into the top side and the bottom side, and the two first push rods 14 and the two second push rods 27 are at the same horizontal position. In the fixed assembly 1, the base 11 serves as the equipment support foundation, providing a stable installation reference for core components such as the bracket 21 of the reciprocating assembly 2 above and the rectangular seat 51 of the sorting assembly 5, and forming two sets of push rods in the vertical direction.

[0022] The cleaning assembly 3 includes a cleaning box 31, which is fixedly installed between the first push rod 14 and the second push rod 27 on the top side. A top cover 32 is movably hinged to the top of the cleaning box 31. A pressure tank 33 is fixedly installed on the back of the cleaning box 31. Two water spray pipes 34 are fixedly connected to the front side of the pressure tank 33. An impeller 35 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the two water spray pipes 34. The impeller 35 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 31. A first electric rotating plate 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning box 31. The pressurization tank 33 is activated, and high-pressure water is sprayed onto the surface of the navel oranges through the spray pipe 34. At the same time, the washing box 31 rotates the navel oranges under the action of reciprocating vibration. The impeller 35 at the bottom of the spray pipe 34 rotates with the impact of the water flow, further agitating the water flow and the navel oranges, and strengthening the rinsing effect. Under the dual action of vibration friction and high-pressure water flow, the fine mud, fruit stem fragments and other impurities attached to the surface of the navel oranges are completely removed. After the washing is completed, the first electric rotating plate 36 is opened, and the washed navel oranges fall into the drying box 41 below under the action of gravity and vibration inertia.

[0023] The drying assembly 4 includes a drying box 41, which is fixedly installed between the first push rod 14 and the second push rod 27 on the bottom side. Ventilation slots are provided through the front and rear sides of the drying box 41. Heating wires 42 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the drying box 41. Fixing plates 43 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the two heating wires 42. Two fans 44 are installed inside the two fixing plates 43. A water leakage groove 45 is provided at the bottom of the drying box 41. A second electric rotating plate 46 is fixedly installed on the front side of the water leakage groove 45. The drying box 41 vibrates synchronously with the reciprocating component 2, and the navel oranges continuously turn over inside the box. The heating wire 42 and fan 44 of the drying component 4 are activated. The fan 44 sends the hot air generated by the heating wire 42 into the box through the ventilation slots on the front and back sides of the drying box 41, making full contact with the turning navel oranges. At the same time, the water attached to the surface of the navel oranges drips down faster during the vibration and is quickly discharged through the drain groove 45 at the bottom of the drying box 41 to avoid water accumulation. The hot air penetrates evenly through the gaps between the navel oranges, effectively eliminating the damp heat dead corners caused by traditional horizontal surface connection, and greatly improving the drying uniformity.

[0024] The sorting assembly 5 includes a rectangular base 51, which is fixedly installed on the front side of the slide rail 12. A guide plate 52 is installed on the top of the rectangular base 51. Three sorting cylinders 56 are movably engaged inside the rectangular base 51. The rotating shafts of the three sorting cylinders 56 are all fixedly connected to a wheel 54. A belt 55 is sleeved on the outer edge of the three wheels 54. A second motor 53 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one of the wheels 54. The three sorting cylinders 56 are all provided with round holes. The diameter of the three sets of round holes gradually decreases from far to near. The output shaft of the second motor 53 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of one of the wheels 54. Navel oranges entering the guide plate 52 enter the area above the three sorting cylinders 56 under the action of vibration inertia and gravity. The second motor 53 is started, and its output shaft drives the connected rotating wheel 54 to rotate. Through the belt 55, the other two rotating wheels 54 and the sorting cylinders 56 are driven to rotate synchronously. Since the diameter of the round hole of the three sorting cylinders 56 gradually decreases from far to near, under the synergistic effect of the rotation of the sorting cylinders 56 and the overall vibration of the equipment, navel oranges with a diameter smaller than the round hole pass through the round hole of the corresponding sorting cylinder 56 in sequence to complete the grading and screening, thereby achieving precise separation of navel oranges of different sizes.

[0025] Working principle: When using this invention, first open the top cover 32 of the cleaning component 3, put the navel orange to be processed into the cleaning box 31, and then start the first motor 25 to make it reciprocate. Its output shaft will drive the sun gears 24 on both sides to rotate synchronously. Since the sun gear 24 meshes with the three planet gears 23 in the ring gear 22, which are arranged in a ring, and the ring gear 22 is fixed on the top of the bracket 21, the planet gears 23 rotate on their own axis while revolving with the sun gear 24, thereby increasing the torque. The H-shaped block 26 connected to the sun gear 24 will also reciprocate. The H-shaped block 26 transmits the reciprocating motion to the first push rod 14 at the same horizontal position through the second push rod 27 hinged on the upper and lower sides. Finally, it drives the cleaning component 3 and the drying component 4 connected to the first push rod 14 to generate reciprocating vibration synchronously. Once preparations are complete, the pressurization tank 33 is activated, and high-pressure water is sprayed onto the surface of the navel oranges through the spray pipe 34. At the same time, the washing box 31 rotates the navel oranges under the action of reciprocating vibration. The impeller 35 at the bottom of the spray pipe 34 rotates with the water flow, further agitating the water flow and the navel oranges, enhancing the rinsing effect. This allows the fine mud, fruit stem fragments, and other impurities attached to the surface of the navel oranges to be completely removed under the dual action of vibration friction and high-pressure water flow. After the cleaning is completed, the first electric rotating plate 36 is opened, and the cleaned navel oranges fall into the drying box 41 below under the action of gravity and vibration inertia. The drying box 41 vibrates synchronously with the reciprocating component 2, and the navel oranges are continuously turned inside the box. The heating wire 42 and fan 44 of the drying component 4 are activated. The fan 44 sends the hot air generated by the heating wire 42 into the box through the ventilation slots on the front and back sides of the drying box 41, which fully contacts the turned navel oranges. At the same time, the water attached to the surface of the navel oranges drips down faster during the vibration and is quickly discharged through the drain trough 45 at the bottom of the drying box 41 to avoid water accumulation. The hot air penetrates the gaps between the navel oranges evenly, effectively eliminating the dead corners of moisture and heat caused by the traditional horizontal connection, and greatly improving the uniformity of drying. After drying, the second electric rotating plate 46 is opened, and the dried navel oranges slide into the sorting component 5 through the guide plate 52. The navel oranges falling into the guide plate 52 enter the area above the three sorting cylinders 56 under the action of vibration inertia and gravity. The second motor 53 is started, and its output shaft drives the connected rotating wheel 54 to rotate. Through the belt 55, the other two rotating wheels 54 and the sorting cylinders 56 are driven to rotate synchronously. Since the diameter of the round hole of the three sorting cylinders 56 gradually decreases from far to near, under the synergistic effect of the rotation of the sorting cylinder 56 and the overall vibration of the equipment, the navel oranges with a diameter smaller than the round hole pass through the round hole of the corresponding sorting cylinder 56 in sequence to complete the grading and screening, and achieve the precise separation of navel oranges of different sizes.
