[0037] 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.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a device for transmitting and rotating cones in multiple directions, comprising a transmission mechanism 1, a fruit cup mechanism 2 and a reversing mechanism 3;

[0039] The conveying mechanism 1 comprises a frame 11 and a conveying chain 12 installed in the frame 11. A conveying channel for fruits to pass through is provided on the frame 11. The conveying chain 12 is driven by a driving member to circulate and rotate in the conveying channel.

[0040] The fruit cup mechanism 2 is provided with multiple groups, which are installed at each chain link of the conveying chain 12. The fruit cup mechanism 2 includes a cup holder 23, a roller 24, a rolling shaft 25, a driving wheel 26, a base 21 and a rotating shaft 22;

[0041] The base 21 is installed at the chain link of the conveyor chain 12;

[0042] One end of the bottom of the rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the base 21, and one end of the bottom top of the rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the cup holder 23;

[0043] The cup holder 23 is provided with a cross slot, and rollers 24 are arranged in the four slot holes in the cross slot;

[0044] The roller 24 is installed in the inner wall of the cross groove through the rolling shaft 25, and both ends of the rolling shaft 25 extend outside the cup holder 23 and are fixedly installed with a driving wheel 26;

[0045] The driving wheel 26 is in contact with the surface of the frame 11;

[0046] The reversing mechanism 3 is installed in the frame 11, and the fruit cup mechanism 2 at the rotating station of the reversing mechanism 3 rotates 90°;

[0047] When in use, the four rolling shafts 25 in the cross groove of the cup holder 23 play the role of supporting the cone fruits, and the fruit cup mechanism 2 is transported by the conveyor chain 12. Since the driving wheel 26 contacts the surface of the frame 11, it will drive the synchronous rotation of the rolling shafts 25 in the horizontal direction in the cross groove, and drive the cone fruits to flip in the horizontal direction. When the fruit cup mechanism 2 moves to the rotating station of the reversing mechanism 3, under the action of the reversing mechanism 3, the cup holder 23 of the fruit cup mechanism 2 rotates 90°, and with the continued transportation of the conveyor chain 12, the rolling shafts 25 in the original vertical direction in the cross groove rotate synchronously, driving the cone fruits to flip in the vertical direction, thereby providing a device for conveying cones and rotating in multiple directions at the same time.

[0048] In this embodiment, the reversing mechanism 3 includes a reversing guide wheel 32 and a rotating blade 33;

[0049] Four rotating blades 33 are installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 22 at equal intervals along its circumference;

[0050] The reversing guide wheel 32 is installed on the inner wall of the conveying channel through a bracket 31;

[0051] When the fruit cup mechanism 2 passes through the rotating station of the reversing mechanism 3, the rotating blades 33 on the rotating shaft 22 of the fruit cup mechanism 2 contact the reversing guide wheel 32. Under the action of the reversing guide wheel 32, the rotating blades 33 are deflected, thereby rotating the cup holder 23.

[0052] In this embodiment, a reversing groove 13 is formed on the frame 11 , and the reversing mechanism 3 is installed in the reversing groove 13 . When the fruit cup mechanism 2 passes through the reversing groove 13 , the driving wheel 26 of the fruit cup mechanism 2 does not contact the surface of the frame 11 .

[0053] In this embodiment, guide plates 14 are installed on both sides of the inner wall at the entrance of the conveying channel near the outlet of the reversing groove 13. The reversing mechanism 3 will cause the cup holder 23 to rotate. The cup holder 23 may not rotate properly. Under the action of the guide plate 14, the cup holder 23 can be corrected so that it remains in the state after being rotated 90° and then enters the conveying channel.

[0054] In this embodiment, the driving member includes a sprocket installed in the conveying chain, and the sprocket is connected to a driving motor. The driving motor drives the sprocket to rotate, thereby realizing the circular rotation of the conveying chain.

[0055] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0056] The four rolling shafts 25 in the cross groove of the cup holder 23 serve to support the cone fruits, and when the fruit cup mechanism 2 is conveyed by the conveyor chain 12, since the driving wheel 26 contacts the surface of the frame 11, it will drive the synchronous rotation of the rolling shafts 25 in the horizontal direction in the cross groove, and drive the cone fruits to flip in the horizontal direction. When the fruit cup mechanism 2 moves to the rotating station of the reversing mechanism 3, under the action of the reversing mechanism 3, the cup holder 23 of the fruit cup mechanism 2 rotates 90°, and with the continued conveyance of the conveyor chain 12, the rolling shafts 25 in the original vertical direction in the cross groove rotate synchronously, driving the cone fruits to flip in the vertical direction, thereby providing a device for conveying cones and rotating in multiple directions at the same time.

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.
