Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cone inspection equipment, in particular to a cone conveying fruit cup device. Background Art

[0002] Inspecting and grading fruits is an effective way to improve the competitiveness of fruits. In recent years, the fruit quality inspection technology based on machine vision has emerged.

However, the distance between the rollers of the drag chain conveyor belt is a fixed value, and the applicable fruit size range is limited. When conveying fruits with smaller diameters, they are easy to fall into the rollers and cannot drive the fruits to flip; when conveying fruits with larger diameters, the fruits are easy to fall on the roller surface and easily slip from the conveyor belt during the transmission process.

[0043] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a fruit cup conveying device for cones, comprising a cup holder, a T-shaped rod, a transverse spring, a longitudinal spring and a roller;

[0045] Two groups of T-shaped rods are provided, which are symmetrically arranged in the cup holder. The inner wall of the cup holder is provided with strip holes corresponding to the two ends of the vertical part of the T-shaped rod, and the side wall of the cup holder is provided with a through hole corresponding to one end of the horizontal part of the T-shaped rod;

[0046] There are two groups of rollers, which are symmetrically arranged on the vertical part of the T-bar;

[0047] The longitudinal spring is sleeved on the vertical part of the T-bar, one end of the longitudinal spring is connected to the roller, and the other end of the longitudinal spring is connected to the inner wall of the cup holder;

[0048] The transverse spring is sleeved on the horizontal part of the T-shaped rod, one end of the transverse spring is connected to the side wall of the cup holder, and the other end of the transverse spring is connected to the vertical part of the T-shaped rod;

[0049] When in use, the fruit to be tested is placed in the cup holder and located between the four rollers. Due to the weight of the fruit itself, the longitudinal spring and the transverse spring will produce a certain deformation, thereby adjusting the distance between the two rollers on the T-bar and the distance between the two T-bars, so that it can meet the rolling detection needs of fruits of different sizes.

[0050] In this embodiment, it also includes a U-shaped frame, a torsion spring and a limit block, and the inner wall of the U-shaped frame is connected to the cup holder via a rotating shaft on both sides;

[0051] The limit block is fixed on one side of the inner wall of the profile frame;

[0052] A connecting shaft is installed on one side of the limit block on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame;

[0053] The torsion spring is installed on the connecting shaft, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the limit block, and the other end of the torsion spring is in contact with the bottom of the cup holder. Under the action of the torsion spring, the cup holder remains in a horizontal state;

[0054] The unloading mechanism includes a cylinder and a push plate, and the cylinder is connected to the push plate through a piston rod;

[0055] During use, when the cup holder moves to the unloading position of the unloading mechanism, the cylinder drives the push plate to move upward, so that the cup holder can tilt to one side. After the ball cone falls from between the four rollers, the cylinder resets, and under the action of the torsion spring, the cup holder also resets to maintain a horizontal state.

[0056] In this embodiment, a conveying mechanism is also included, which includes a conveying chain and a base. The conveying chain rotates in a circular motion under the drive of the driving member. The base is installed at each chain link of the conveying chain. The U-shaped frame is fixedly installed on the base, and the cup holder is driven by the conveying chain to realize transmission and movement.

[0057] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism also includes a frame, which is provided with a conveying channel for fruits to pass through. The conveying chain is installed in the conveying channel. When the cup rack moves in the conveying channel, the rollers in the cup rack contact the surface of the frame, so that the rollers in the cup rack rotate, thereby driving the cones on the rollers to spin, so as to cooperate with the image acquisition mechanism to obtain a complete image of the cones.

[0058] In this embodiment, the roller is in a truncated cone-shaped structure, and the small heads of the two rollers on the vertical portion of the T-bar are arranged opposite to each other.

[0059] In this embodiment, the roller is made of silicone rubber.

[0060] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0061] The fruit to be tested is placed in the cup holder between the four rollers. Due to the weight of the fruit itself, the longitudinal spring and the transverse spring will deform to a certain extent, thereby adjusting the distance between the two rollers on the T-bar and the distance between the two T-bars, so that it can meet the rolling detection needs of fruits of different sizes.

[0062] The circuits, electronic components and modules involved are all prior art and can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. Needless to say, the content protected by this utility model does not involve improvements to software and methods.

[0063] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.

[0064] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
