[0026] Preferably, as another embodiment of the utility model, the height adjustment mechanism 3 includes a limit cylinder 31, a bidirectional screw rod 32, a fixing plate 33, a motor 34, a driving plate 35, a support rod 36 and a limit rod 37. Four limit cylinders 31 distributed in an array are provided on the top of the base plate 1. The interiors of the four limit cylinders 31 are slidably connected with limit rods 37 whose upper ends extend above them and are connected to the bottom of the material storage box 2. Fixed plates 33 are provided on the front and rear sides of the top of the base plate 1. Two driving plates 35 distributed front and back are arranged between the two fixing plates 33. Support rods 36 are hinged between the two ends of the driving plates 35 and the bottom of the material storage box 2. Threaded holes are provided on the front sides of the two driving plates 35. The rear fixing plate 33 is rotatably connected with a bidirectional screw rod 32 that passes through the two threaded holes in sequence.

The front side of the front fixing plate 33 is provided with a motor 34 whose output shaft is coaxially connected to the front end of the bidirectional screw rod 32.

[0027] In this embodiment, since the rotation directions of the threads at both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 32 are opposite, and the two ends are respectively connected to the threaded holes on the two drive plates 35, when the bidirectional screw rod 32 rotates, it can drive the two drive plates 35 to move towards each other or away from each other, thereby driving the support rod 36 to change the inclination angle, thereby lifting or lowering the material storage box 2 to adjust the height position of the material storage box 2. In this process, the material storage box 2 will drive the support rod 36 to slide in the limit cylinder 31, and use the limit cylinder 31 and the support rod 36 to achieve the limiting effect, thereby avoiding the deviation of the material storage box 2. Among them, the output shaft of the motor 1 34 installed on the front fixed plate 33 is coaxially connected to the bidirectional screw rod 32, and when the motor 1 34 outputs torque, it can drive the coaxially connected bidirectional screw rod 32 to rotate.

[0028] Preferably, as another embodiment of the utility model, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a second motor 61, a fixed box 62, a slide 63, a positioning rod 64, a screw 65 and a slider 66. The left side of the material storage box 2 is provided with a fixed box 62 with an opening on the right side, and three slides 63 distributed front and back are equidistantly provided on the left side of the material storage box 2. Three sliders 66 are equidistantly provided on the left side of the lifting plate 5, and respectively pass through the three slides 63 and extend to the inside of the fixed box 62. Two positioning rods 64 distributed front and back and penetrating the sliders 66 on both sides are provided between the upper and lower inner walls of the fixed box 62. The inner bottom wall of the fixed box 62 is rotatably connected with a screw 65 whose upper end passes through the middle slider 66 and is transmission-connected to the penetration point. The top of the fixed box 62 is provided with a second motor 61 whose output shaft is coaxially connected to the upper end of the screw 65.

[0029] In this embodiment, the motor 2 61 can drive the screw rod 65 to rotate, and the rotating screw rod 65 will transmit to the middle slider 66. In this process, under the limiting action of the sliders 66 on both sides and the positioning rods 64 on both sides, the lifting plate 5 and the middle slider 66 can only move vertically, so that the screw rod 65 drives the slider 66 and the lifting plate 5 connected thereto to move downward, so that the lifting plate 5 and the pocket plate 4 are misaligned, so that the fruit can be discharged downward, and the slide 63 can provide the slider 66 with the required track for lifting and lowering. Among them, the fixed box 62 can provide an installation position for the motor 2 61 and a connection position for the screw rod 65. At the same time, it also prevents the internal structure from being hit by external objects, thereby playing a protective role.

[0030] Preferably, as another embodiment of the utility model, the pushing mechanism 11 includes a sliding block 111, a slide groove 112, a cylinder 113 and a rectangular box 114. The top of the lifting platform 9 is provided with a rectangular box 114 with openings on the top and the left side. The rectangular frame 10 is located inside the rectangular box 114. The front and rear inner walls of the rectangular box 114 are provided with transversely extending slide grooves 112. The front and rear sides of the rectangular frame 10 are provided with sliding blocks 111 extending to the inside of the slide groove 112 on the same side. The right side of the rectangular box 114 is provided with a cylinder 113 whose telescopic shaft is connected to the right side of the rectangular frame 10.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the fruit is poured into the rectangular frame 10, it is lifted to a position higher than the top of the storage box 2 by the lifting platform 9, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 113 extends to push the rectangular frame 10 to move to the left. Since the upper and lower sides of the rectangular frame 10 are open, the fruit can be discharged into the storage box 2 under the action of gravity. During this process, the sliding block 111 connected to the storage box 2 can slide along the slide groove 112 on the rectangular box 114, thereby reducing the friction during movement, and at the same time, supporting the rectangular frame 10.

[0032] Preferably, as another embodiment of the utility model, the material pocket plate 4 is inclined to the right, so that the fruit poured into the storage box 2 can be moved to the left along the inclined material pocket plate 4 to be placed near the lifting plate 5. The lifting plate 5 is triangular in shape, and its lower right end is at the same level as the lower left end of the material pocket plate 4. When the lifting plate 5 moves downward, the fruit can roll to the right along the inclined surface of the top to speed up the discharge speed. The bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with four casters 12 distributed in a rectangular array, which can provide the equipment with a mobile function to facilitate the movement and transportation of the equipment.

[0033] Working principle: Motor 1 34 can drive the bidirectional screw rod 32 to rotate, and the two ends of the bidirectional screw rod 32 are respectively transmitted to the threaded holes on the two driving plates 35 to drive the two driving plates 35 to move relative to each other, so as to pull one end of the support rod 36 to move, and then change the tilt angle, so as to adjust the height position of the storage box 2 and the discharge hopper 8 thereon, so that the discharge hopper 8 faces the feeding port of the processing equipment. In this process, the support rod 36 slides in the limiting cylinder 31 to limit the deviation of the storage box 2. After the adjustment is completed, the fruit is poured into the rectangular frame 10, and after being lifted by the lifting platform 9, it is higher than the top of the storage box 2. At this time, the cylinder 113 pushes the rectangular frame 10 to move to the left. The sliding block 111 connected to the material storage box 2 can slide along the slide groove 112 on the rectangular box 114, so that the rectangular frame 10 can move smoothly horizontally, and the fruit can be discharged into the material storage box 2 under the action of gravity, so as to complete the storage of the fruit. The motor 2 61 drives the screw rod 65 and the middle slider 66 to transmit. Under the limiting action of the sliders 66 on both sides and the positioning rods 64 on both sides, the lifting plate 5 and the middle slider 66 can only move vertically, so that the middle slider 66 drives the lifting plate 5 to move downward, so that the lifting plate 5 is misaligned with the pocket plate 4, so that the fruit can be discharged downward into the inclined guide plate 7, and discharged from the discharge hopper 8 to the processing equipment along the inclined guide plate 7.
