BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the specific structure of an embodiment of the utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the partially enlarged structure of location A of the embodiment of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the utility model, without changing the essential spirit of the utility model, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of the utility model or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the utility model.

[0017] The following will be combined with the instructions attached Figure 1-2 And specific implementation methods are used to describe the above technical solutions in detail:

[0018] The utility model provides a pepper size sorting device, comprising a box body 1, the top of the box body 1 is open, the four corners of the lower end of the box body 1 are fixedly connected with symmetrical supporting feet, the upper end of the box body 1 is provided with a cover plate 2, the upper surface of the cover plate 2 is provided with an opening 3, a funnel 4 is placed in the opening 3, the lower end of the box body 1 is fixedly connected with a motor 5, the output shaft of the motor 5 passes through a avoidance hole provided on the box body 1 and extends to the inside of the box body 1 and is fixedly connected with a main shaft 6, a plurality of sorting devices are provided on the outer side of the main shaft 6 from top to bottom, the sorting device comprises a sorting plate 7 detachably fixedly connected with the main shaft 6, a sorting slot 8 is downwardly provided on the upper surface of the sorting plate 7, a plurality of screening holes 9 are downwardly penetrated and opened in the sorting slot 8, and the apertures of the screening holes 9 on the sorting slots 8 of different heights are gradually reduced from top to bottom. When it is necessary to sort the peppers according to their sizes, the peppers that have been picked and put into baskets are poured into the box body 1 through the funnel 4. Preferably, the lower port of the funnel 4 is located directly above the sorting plate 7 on the uppermost layer, so that all the peppers can enter the sorting slot 8 on the uppermost layer. After the pouring is completed, the motor 5 is started, and the motor 5 drives the main shaft 6 to rotate, thereby driving the sorting plate 7 to rotate. As the sorting plate 7 rotates, the peppers in the sorting slot 8 will also move accordingly. In this process, peppers with a volume smaller than the aperture of the topmost screening hole 9 will pass through the screening hole 9 and enter the lower In the sorting slots 8 of one layer, since the sorting discs 7 of each layer rotate with the main shaft 6, when the volume of the peppers in a certain layer of sorting slots 8 is smaller than the aperture of the screening holes 9 of that layer, they will enter the sorting slots 8 of the next layer, until they reach the sorting slots 8 of the lowest layer, and the screening holes 9 in the sorting slots 8 of the lowest layer are too large to allow the smallest peppers to pass through, thereby completing the multi-level sorting of peppers according to size, without the need for manual sorting, and during the rotation of the sorting discs 7, the peppers will also be spread out, reducing labor intensity and improving efficiency. Preferably, the rotation speed of the motor 5 should not be too fast to prevent the peppers from sticking to the side walls of the sorting slots 8 due to the action of centrifugal force.

[0019] In order to ensure that the peppers passing through the screening holes 9 of the upper layer can accurately fall into the sorting slots 8 of the lower layer, as a preferred embodiment, the diameters of the sorting tray 7 and the sorting slots 8 gradually increase from top to bottom.

[0020] In order to achieve a better sorting effect, as a preferred embodiment, a hemispherical protrusion 10 is fixedly connected between each adjacent screening hole 9. By providing the protrusion 10, the peppers can be affected by the protrusion 10 during the rotation of the sorting plate 7, thereby preventing the peppers from accumulating and blocking the screening holes 9.

[0021] In order to prevent the peppers from falling from the sorting slot 8 to the outside of the sorting tray 7 during the rotation of the sorting tray 7, as a preferred embodiment, a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side wall of each sorting tray 7, and the upper surface of each baffle 11 is on the same horizontal plane.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, one side of the cover plate 2 is hinged to the box body 1 .

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of fixing blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the main shaft 6, and a fixing groove 13 matching the shape of the fixing block 12 is provided at the bottom of the sorting tray 7. When the sorted peppers need to be taken out after the sorting is completed, the funnel 4 is first taken out from the opening 3, and then the cover plate 2 is opened, and the sorting tray 7 is lifted through the baffle 11, so that the fixing block 12 is separated from the fixing groove 13, and then the sorting tray 7 is taken out from the box body 1.

[0024] In order to facilitate lifting the sorting tray 7 through the baffle 11, as a preferred embodiment, handles 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the baffle 11.

[0025] Preferably, the specifications and models of the above-mentioned motors can be selected according to actual conditions and needs, and their principles and structures are relatively mature existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Preferably, the standard parts used in the utility model can be purchased from the market, and special-shaped parts can be customized according to the description in the specification and the drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional means such as mature bolts, rivets, welding, etc. in the prior art. The circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0027] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
