Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of color sorters, in particular to a color sorter for selecting fruits. Background Art
[0002] After the fruits are picked, they are usually packed into fruit boxes and transported back to the factory for sorting. Because the fruits are of different sizes, they are squeezed against each other in the fruit boxes, which makes them easily damaged, deformed, or even rotten. When the fruits rot, microorganisms will produce various harmful substances during metabolism, especially the reproduction of fungi, some of which are carcinogenic. At the same time, putting rotten fruits together with good fruits will accelerate the rotting of good fruits. Therefore, before the fruits are put on the market, they need to be sorted and impurities removed to select inferior fruits.
[0003] The existing picking equipment pours the fruits in the fruit boxes into the transfer boxes through the turning frame and the auxiliary transfer platform. There is no need to manually lift the fruit boxes and pour them into the transfer boxes. The fruits in the transfer boxes are transported to the picking table for picking through the fruit transport table. The fruits are laid flat on the picking table, which makes it easy to pick out inferior fruits.
[0004] However, the existing rotating boxes have a large rotation amplitude and require multiple sets of motors to individually control the rotating components in the rotating boxes, which can easily cause collision and damage to the fruits, and also increase the cost of the driving components. At the same time, the existing picking components require manual observation and picking, which consumes a lot of manpower and is easy to miss and requires repeated picking, reducing the use effect of the picking equipment.
