[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are:

[0017] By setting a docking structure between the material head and the packing mechanism, the problem that the current fruit falls into the carton at a fast speed and collides with each other, causing damage to the fruit, is solved. The docking structure includes a transfer basket that is vertically movable and arranged on the frame. The fruit can be temporarily stored and transported through the transfer basket, and the transfer basket is located between the hopper and the packing mechanism. The distance that the fruit falls into the transfer basket is relatively short, the falling speed is slow, and the impact force between the fruits is also smaller; then the driving mechanism is used to make the transfer basket drop to a suitable height, and then the baffle that can be opened and closed at the bottom of the transfer basket is used to make the fruit in the transfer basket fall into the fruit box of the packing mechanism, so that the fruit experiences two short-distance drops. When the fruit falls into the transfer basket and the fruit box, the speed is small and the impact is also small. The vertically movable transfer basket plays a role of receiving between the hopper and the packing mechanism, reducing the speed at which the fruit falls into the carton, thereby reducing or avoiding damage to the fruit during the packing process, reducing the occurrence of rotten fruit, and extending the shelf life of the fruit.

[0018] Furthermore, the transfer basket includes a fixed frame and a movable frame, and the movable frame is movably connected to the fixed frame along a moving direction perpendicular to the transfer basket. The movable frame can adjust the position between the movable frame and the fixed frame, so as to adjust the volume of the transfer basket according to the size of different cartons and improve the transfer efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, along the adjustment direction of the movable frame, the fixed frame and / or the movable frame are provided with a plurality of adjustment holes, and the fixed frame and the movable frame are fixed in relative position by bolts matched with the adjustment holes. After the movable frame is adjusted to a desired position, the relative positions of the movable frame and the fixed frame are fixed by inserting the bolts into the adjustment holes of the fixed frame and / or the movable frame, thereby ensuring the stability of the transfer basket during the transfer process. Moreover, the matching of the bolts and the adjustment holes can also realize the disassembly and assembly conveniently and quickly, thereby reducing the time for adjusting the size of the transfer basket.

[0020] Furthermore, along the adjustment direction of the movable frame, the fixed frame is provided with a linear guide rail, and the movable frame is slidably arranged on the linear guide rail. By providing the linear guide rail, when adjusting the movable frame, the movable frame and the fixed frame can only move in the adjustment direction, so that the movable frame can be moved to the position that needs to be adjusted and fixed to the fixed frame more quickly.

[0021] Furthermore, the fixed frame includes a U-shaped first frame body, and the movable frame includes a U-shaped second frame body, the opening of the first frame body and the opening of the second frame body are arranged opposite to each other, and the first frame body and the second frame body form a closed ring to form an inlet of the transfer basket. The U-shaped first frame body and the second frame body ensure that the fixed frame and the movable frame have sufficient strength, and when the fixed frame and the movable frame are docked, the first frame body and the second frame body can partially overlap, thereby improving the stability of the fixed frame and the movable frame after splicing.

[0022] Furthermore, the first frame and the second frame are both provided with side panels extending downward, a slide groove parallel to the adjustment direction of the movable frame is provided on the side panel of one of the first frame and the second frame, and a slider matched with the slide groove is provided on the side panel of the other frame. When the second frame is adjusted relative to the first frame, the side panel can also keep sliding along the adjustment direction through the cooperation of the slide groove and the slider, so that the entire movable frame can keep sliding stably when adjusting the position, avoiding the situation that the movable frame is stuck relative to the fixed frame.

[0023] Furthermore, the control mechanism includes a driving cylinder and a swing arm, the cylinder body of the driving cylinder is fixed on the transfer basket, the baffle is provided on a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the transfer basket, and the swing arm is connected between the piston of the driving cylinder and the rotating shaft. The baffle can be relatively simply controlled to swing to achieve the purpose of opening and closing the bottom of the transfer basket through the driving cylinder and the swing arm. This solution has high reliability and low cost. In addition, since the bottom of the transfer basket can be opened and closed by controlling the swing of the baffle, it also avoids interference of excessive movement stroke with other components of the fruit packing device.

[0024] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a motor and a rocker mechanism, the motor is fixed on the frame, and the motor drives the transfer basket to slide through the rocker mechanism. The motor is used as a power source in conjunction with the rocker mechanism to provide a large driving force to control the transfer basket to move in the vertical direction, ensuring that the transfer basket can operate stably for a long time.

[0025] Furthermore, a deformable buffer sheet is provided on the top of the transfer basket to slow down the speed at which the fruit falls into the transfer basket. The buffer sheet can reduce the speed at which the fruit falls from the hopper into the transfer basket, play a buffering role for the fruit falling into the transfer basket, and further improve the protection of the fruit during the packaging process.

[0026] Furthermore, a support plate extending downward is provided at the bottom of the transfer basket, and the support plate blocks the folding of the fruit box below when the transfer basket moves downward, so as to prevent the folding from hindering the fruit from entering the fruit box from the transfer box.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 5 This is an embodiment of a fruit packing device of the utility model, which includes a frame 100 and a hopper 200, a conveyor line 300, and a packing mechanism 400 arranged on the frame 100. The hopper 200 is located above the packing mechanism 400, and the conveyor line 300 is located below the packing mechanism 400. The conveyor line 300 is used to transport fruit boxes 410. When the fruit boxes 410 are transported to the packing mechanism 400, the packing mechanism 400 fixes the fruit boxes 410, and the conveyor belt transports the fruits to the hopper 200. The fruits fall into the fruit boxes 410 below through the hopper 200. The structure of the packing mechanism 400 can refer to known public documents.

[0045] A docking mechanism 500 is provided on the frame 100 between the hopper 200 and the boxing mechanism 400. The docking structure includes a transfer basket 510 that is arranged on the frame 100 and moves vertically. The transfer basket 510 is used to receive the fruits dropped from the hopper 200, and then transport the fruits to a position with a lower horizontal height, and then let the fruits enter the fruit box 410 of the boxing mechanism 400. A driving mechanism 520 is provided on the frame 100 to drive the transfer basket 510 to move. The driving mechanism 520 is mainly used to drive the transfer basket 510 to reciprocate up and down to complete the transfer task. A vertical linear track is provided on the frame 100, and a slide plate that cooperates with the linear track is provided on the transfer basket 510, so that the transfer basket 510 can be reciprocated in the vertical direction. An openable and closable baffle 530 is provided at the bottom of the transfer basket 510, and a control mechanism 540 for controlling the opening and closing of the baffle 530 is provided on the transfer basket 510. When the baffle 530 is opened, the fruits in the transfer basket 510 can fall out, while when receiving the fruits falling from the hopper 200, the baffle 530 needs to be kept closed, and the opening and closing of the baffle 530 is controlled by the control mechanism 540.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, due to the different types of fruits, the sizes of the fruit boxes 410 are also different. In order to make the transfer basket 510 as close to the size of the fruit box 410 as possible and reduce the rolling distance of the fruit after entering the fruit box 410 from the transfer basket 510, the size of the transfer basket 510 also needs to be adjustable. Therefore, the transfer basket 510 includes a fixed frame 511 and a movable frame 512. The movable frame 512 is movably connected to the fixed frame 511 along a moving direction perpendicular to the transfer basket 510, and the movable frame 512 can also move relative to the fixed frame 511. For the convenience of introduction, the movable frame 512 in this embodiment can be movably adjusted in the front and rear directions relative to the fixed frame 511.

[0047] The movable frame 512 can be connected to the fixed frame 511 by bolts 514 or snap-fit ​​connection, and after adjusting the position of the movable frame 512, it is fixed to the fixed frame 511. In this embodiment, the adjustment hole 513 and the bolt 514 are used to achieve the above purpose. Specifically, along the adjustment direction of the movable frame 512, a plurality of adjustment holes 513 are provided on the fixed frame 511 and / or the movable frame 512. For example, one adjustment hole 513 is provided on the fixed frame 511 and a plurality of adjustment holes 513 are provided on the movable frame 512. The adjustment holes 513 at different positions on the movable frame 512 are connected with the adjustment holes 513 on the fixed frame 511 by bolts 514, so that the movable frame 512 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 511 at different positions. Conversely, a plurality of adjustment holes 513 are provided on the fixed frame 511 and one adjustment hole 513 is provided on the movable frame 512, and the movable frame 512 and the fixed frame 511 are fixed by bolts 514. A plurality of adjustment holes 513 can also be provided on both the fixed frame 511 and the movable frame 512, so that a larger adjustment range of the movable frame 512 can be obtained.

[0048] Furthermore, along the adjustment direction of the movable frame 512, a linear guide rail 515 is provided on the fixed frame 511, and the movable frame 512 is slidably arranged on the linear guide rail 515. The movable direction of the movable frame 512 can be limited by a linear wire to prevent the movable frame 512 from moving in the vertical direction, so that the movable frame 512 can be more accurately fixed after adjusting the relative position of the movable frame 512. In addition to achieving the above-mentioned purpose, the use of the linear guide rail 515 can also reduce the moving resistance of the movable frame 512 when the movable frame 512 is adjusted, and can also reduce the wear of the movable frame 512 when it moves relative to the fixed frame 511.

[0049] There can be many structures for the fixed frame 511 and the movable frame 512, but generally the fruit box 410 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the transfer basket 510 is also in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped to match the shape of the fruit box 410. Therefore, the fixed frame 511 includes a U-shaped first frame 5111, and the movable frame 512 includes a U-shaped second frame 5121. The openings of the first frame 5111 and the second frame 5121 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first frame 5111 and the second frame 5121 form a closed ring to form the entrance of the transfer basket 510, so that the left and right sides of the first frame 5111 and the left and right sides of the second frame 5121 can be fixed, making the entire transfer basket 510 more stable.

[0050] Furthermore, downwardly extending side panels 516 are provided on the first frame 5111 and the second frame 5121, and the side panels 516 form side walls of the transfer basket 510. Since the transfer basket 510 can move in the vertical direction, the height of the side panels 516 does not need to be adjusted. The transfer basket 510 can be moved up and down as a whole to accommodate fruit boxes 410 of different heights. The linear guide rail 515 is generally arranged on the first frame 5111, and a guide groove is arranged on the second frame 5121 to cooperate with the linear guide rail 515, so that the side plate 516 of the first frame 5111 and the side plate 516 of the second frame 5121 will not be able to be limited. When the movable frame 512 moves, the side plates 516 on the two frames may interfere with each other. Therefore, a sliding groove 517 parallel to the adjustment direction of the movable frame 512 is opened on the side plate 516 of the first frame 5111, and a slider 518 cooperating with the sliding groove 517 is opened on the side plate 516 of the second frame 5121. The slider 518 slides in the sliding groove 517, so as to limit the side plate 516 when adjusting the movable frame 512, so as to avoid interference between the side plates 516 on the two frames. Of course, the sliding groove 517 can also be provided on the side plate 516 of the second frame body 5121, and the sliding block 518 can be provided on the side plate 516 of the first frame body 5111, so as to achieve the same effect.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the control mechanism 540 is used to control the opening and closing of the baffle 530, which does not require too high control accuracy, so the control mechanism 540 includes a driving cylinder 541 and a swing arm 542. The cylinder body of the driving cylinder 541 is fixed on the transfer basket 510. The baffle 530 is provided with a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the transfer basket 510. The baffle 530 will swing around the axis of the rotating shaft. The swing arm 542 is connected between the piston of the driving cylinder 541 and the rotating shaft. The driving cylinder 541 drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the swing arm 542, so that the baffle 530 swings to realize the opening and closing of the bottom of the transfer basket 510. When the baffle 530 is in the closed position, the baffle 530 is in a horizontal position. When the bottom of the transfer basket 510 needs to be opened, the baffle 530 is driven to rotate downward. In this embodiment, in order to reduce the height occupied by the baffle 530 when it rotates downward, two baffles 530 are provided. The two baffles 530 are equivalent to two doors. When they are rotated downward at the same time, the middle part of the transfer basket 510 is opened. Correspondingly, two groups of control mechanisms 540 are provided on the transfer basket 510 to control the opening and closing of the two baffles 530 respectively.

[0052] The driving mechanism 520 includes a motor and a rocker mechanism. The motor has the characteristics of fast response and high driving precision. The motor drives the rocker mechanism to slide the transfer basket 510 in the vertical direction, which can more accurately control the position of the transfer basket 510 and enable the transfer basket 510 to respond quickly, thereby shortening the transfer time. Specifically, the motor is fixed on the frame 100, and the rocker mechanism is arranged between the motor shaft of the motor and the transfer basket 510. The specific structure and installation position of the rocker mechanism can refer to the prior art.

[0053] In addition, a deformable buffer sheet 550 is provided at the top of the transfer basket 510, that is, at the entrance of the transfer basket 510. The buffer sheet 550 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber. When the fruit falls into the transfer basket 510 from the conveyor belt, the buffer sheet 550 interacts with the fruit to slow down the falling speed of the fruit and protect the fruit from falling into the transfer basket 510.

[0054] A fruit box 410 for loading fruits is arranged on the packing mechanism 400 below the docking mechanism 500. The fruit box 410 is generally a cardboard box with a hinge on the top. A support plate 560 extending downward is arranged at the bottom of the transfer basket 510. When the transfer basket 510 moves downward, the support plate 560 can block the hinge to prevent the hinge from blocking the fruit from falling.

[0055] The fruit packing device of this embodiment first adjusts the size of the transfer basket 510 according to the size of the fruit box 410, so that the transfer basket 510 is slightly smaller than the cross section of the fruit box 410, that is, part of the transfer basket 510 can be moved down into the fruit box 410, thereby minimizing the distance between the bottom of the transfer basket 510 and the bottom of the fruit box 410, and reducing the speed of the fruit entering the fruit box 410 from the transfer basket 510. To adjust the size of the transfer basket 510, the bolt 514 can be pulled out, and then the relative position of the movable frame 512 and the fixed frame 511 can be adjusted in the front-to-back direction. After adjusting to a suitable position, the bolt 514 is inserted into the adjustment hole 513 of the movable frame 512 and the fixed frame 511 to lock the movable frame 512. The transfer basket 510 is raised to the highest position, and the fruits transported from the fruit conveyor belt fall into the transfer basket 510 through the hopper 200. When the fruits fall into the transfer basket 510, the fruits will first touch the buffer sheet 550 at the entrance of the transfer basket 510, thereby reducing the speed at which the fruits fall into the transfer basket 510. At the same time, the fruit box 410 below the transfer basket 510 is also transported by the conveyor line 300 to the position of the packing mechanism 400, that is, the fruit box 410 is located directly below the transfer basket 510. Driven by the motor of the driving mechanism 520, the transfer basket 510 moves downward in the vertical direction. After the transfer basket 510 moves to the set height, the driving cylinder 541 of the control mechanism 540 is started, and the baffle 530 is controlled to rotate, so that the bottom of the transfer basket 510 is opened, and the fruits fall from the transfer basket 510 into the fruit box 410. Then the motor of the driving mechanism 520 is pneumatically driven to drive the transfer basket 510 to rise. After all the fruits in the transfer basket 510 fall into the fruit box 410, the driving cylinder 541 of the control mechanism 540 is started, so that the baffle 530 is rotated to a horizontal position, and the bottom of the transfer basket 510 is closed. At the same time, the transfer basket 510 rises to the highest position to prepare for the next group of fruits. The connecting mechanism 500 is used to connect the fruits between the hopper 200 and the packing mechanism 400, so as to prevent the fruits from falling directly from the hopper 200 into the fruit box 410 of the packing mechanism 400. The vertical movement of the connecting mechanism 500 greatly shortens the free-falling distance of the fruits, thereby reducing the speed at which the fruits enter the fruit box 410, thereby ensuring that the fruits will not be squeezed and damaged by each other due to the high speed during the packing process, thereby improving the yield rate of fruit packing.

[0056] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in the field of the present invention are included in the patent scope of the present invention.
