[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the feeding device provided by the embodiment of the present application is now described. The feeding device includes two side guide seats 1, a connecting seat 2, a push plate 3 and a pushing unit 4. The two side guide seats 1 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two side guide seats 1 are enclosed to form a feeding trough 11, and the feeding trough 11 can accommodate multiple pieces to be sorted. Among them, the pieces to be sorted can be fruits and vegetables, which is not the only limitation here. The connecting seat 2 connects the two side guide seats 1, and the connecting seat 2 and each side guide seat 1 can be detachably connected by fasteners such as screws, so that the feeding device can be quickly disassembled and assembled. The push plate 3 is rotatably installed on the connecting seat 2, and the push plate 3 is arranged in the feeding trough 11. Among them, the push plate 3 and the connecting seat 2 can be connected by a hinge 5, so that the push plate 3 can be rotated on the connecting seat 2. The pushing unit 4 is connected to the push plate 3, and the pushing unit 4 is used to drive the push plate 3 to swing back and forth in the feeding trough 11, so that the pieces to be sorted in the feeding trough 11 can be pushed out. In this structure, the loading trough 11 formed by the two side guide seats 1 can accommodate multiple parts to be sorted; the pushing unit 4 can drive the push plate 3 to swing back and forth on the connecting seat 2, so that the multiple parts to be sorted in the loading trough 11 can be pushed out one by one, thereby reducing the damage to the parts to be sorted and increasing the loading speed of the parts to be sorted.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As a specific implementation of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application, a discharge port 111 is formed at the bottom of the feeding trough 11. Specifically, the two side guide seats 1 are arranged at intervals, and the bottoms of the two side guide seats 1 are spaced to form the above-mentioned discharge port 111. With this structure, the discharge port 111 can be connected to the conveyor belt assembly line, and the to-be-selected pieces pushed out by the push plate 3 fall into the conveyor belt assembly line from the discharge port 111, thereby realizing the feeding operation of fruits and vegetables.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The two side guide seats 1 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the opening width of the discharge port 111 is kept consistent along the length direction of the side guide seat 1. This structure can ensure the feeding efficiency of the parts to be sorted to the conveyor belt assembly line.

[0041] Optionally, the two side guide seats 1 may also be arranged non-parallel, and the opening width of the discharge port 111 gradually increases along the length direction of the side guide seat 1. This structure can ensure that the parts to be sorted fall one by one onto the conveyor belt assembly line by gradually increasing the opening width of the discharge port 111, so as to realize the one-by-one loading of the parts to be sorted and avoid the stacking of the parts to be sorted.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a specific implementation of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application, each side guide seat 1 includes a first side plate 12 arranged obliquely with the horizontal plane and a second side plate 13 connected to the top of the first side plate 12, and the second side plate 13 is arranged obliquely with respect to the first side plate 12; the connecting seat 2 connects the two second side plates 13, and the two first side plates 12 and the two second side plates 13 enclose the above-mentioned feeding trough 11; the bottom of the two first side plates 12 are spaced to form the above-mentioned discharge port 111. In this structure, the two obliquely arranged first side plates 12 allow the to-be-selected parts to slide to the discharge port 111 to realize the feeding; the two second side plates 13 can block the top of the feeding trough 11 to prevent the to-be-selected parts from being stacked in the feeding trough 11 and falling off from the top of the two first side plates 12.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , each second side plate 13 is arranged in the vertical direction. In this structure, the objects to be sorted can be blocked by the vertically arranged second side plates 13 to prevent the objects to be sorted from stacking and falling off from the loading chute 11.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figures 2 to 4As a specific implementation of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the push plate 3 includes a swing plate body 31 hinged to the connecting seat 2 and a push plate body 32 fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the swing plate body 31. The swing plate body 31 is arranged between the two second side plates 13, and the push plate body 32 is arranged between the two first side plates 12; the two ends of the push plate body 32 are respectively provided with push inclined surfaces 321, and each push inclined surface 321 is arranged along the inclination direction of the corresponding first side plate 12; the two ends of the swing plate body 31 are respectively provided with swing inclined surfaces 311, and each swing inclined surface 311 is arranged along the inclination direction of the corresponding second side plate 13. Specifically, the swing plate body 31 can be rotatably installed on the connecting seat 2 through the hinge 5. In this structure, the two push inclined surfaces 321 can be respectively matched with the two first side plates 12 to realize the limited swing of the push plate body 32; the two swing inclined surfaces 311 can be respectively matched with the two second side plates 13 to realize the limited swing of the swing plate body 31.

[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As a specific implementation of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the push plate 3 also includes a push bottom plate 33 fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the push plate body 32, and the push bottom plate 33 extends into the discharge port 111. Specifically, the push plate body 32 is arranged between the swing plate body 31 and the push bottom plate 33, and the width of the push plate body 32 gradually decreases along the direction from the swing plate body 31 to the push bottom plate 33, so that the above-mentioned two push inclined surfaces 321 can be formed. The width of the push bottom plate 33 is smaller than the width of the discharge port 111, so that the push bottom plate 33 can enter and exit the discharge port 111. In this structure, by setting the push bottom plate 33, the push bottom plate 33 can push out the to-be-selected parts that fall into the discharge port 111, so as to avoid the to-be-selected parts being stuck in the discharge port 111 and causing blockage.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 As a specific implementation of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the side of the pusher bottom plate 33 facing away from the pusher plate body 32 is an arc surface 331. With this structure, when the pusher bottom plate 33 extends into the discharge port 111, the pusher bottom plate 33 with the arc surface 331 can protect the parts to be sorted, and avoid the pusher bottom plate 33 from causing damage to the parts to be sorted.

In this structure, the third side plate 14 is arranged at the edge of the discharge port 111, and the third side plate 14 can play a blocking role. The third side plate 14 can block the parts to be sorted discharged from the discharge port 111, ensuring that the parts to be sorted are smoothly fed to the conveyor belt assembly line, and preventing the parts to be sorted from falling off from the gap between the discharge port 111 and the conveyor belt assembly line.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , each third side plate 14 is arranged along the vertical direction, that is, each third side plate 14 is arranged parallel and spaced apart from the corresponding second side plate 13. This structure can prevent the inclined third side plate 14 from scratching the parts to be sorted.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figures 2 to 4 The two ends of the pusher bottom plate 33 are provided with guide slopes 332, and each guide slope 332 is arranged along the inclination direction of the corresponding third side plate 14, that is, each guide slope 332 is arranged in a plane. This structure, through the two guide slopes 332 respectively guiding and cooperating with the two third side plates 14, can guide and limit the pusher bottom plate 33 in and out of the discharge port 111.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a specific implementation of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application, each side guide seat 1 also includes a mounting plate 15 mounted on the side of the first side plate 12 away from the feeding trough 11, and a plurality of mounting holes 151 are provided on the mounting plate 15. Specifically, the length direction of the mounting plate 15 is arranged along the length direction of the first side plate 12, and the plurality of mounting holes 151 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting plate 15. With this structure, the feeding device can be mounted and fixed on the frame of the sorting equipment through two mounting plates 15 and a plurality of mounting holes 151, and the mounting plate 15 and the frame can be connected by fasteners such as screws, so that a detachable connection between the feeding device and the frame can be achieved.

Specifically, a mounting guide rod 421 is mounted on the eccentric wheel 42, and one end of the transmission connecting rod 43 is sleeved on the mounting guide rod 421. A mounting seat 6 is mounted on the side of the push plate 3 away from the feeding trough 11, and a fixed shaft 7 is mounted on the mounting seat 6, and the other end of the transmission connecting rod 43 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 7. Among them, the mounting seat 6 and the push plate 3 can be detachably connected by fasteners such as screws. In this structure, the eccentric wheel 42 can be driven to rotate by the motor 41, and the eccentric wheel 42 can drive the transmission connecting rod 43 and the push plate 3 to swing back and forth, so that the parts to be selected in the feeding trough 11 can be pushed out.
