It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have the same meaning as the meaning in the context of the prior art, and will not be interpreted with idealized or overly formal meanings unless specifically defined as here.

[0028] In the embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 1-Figure 3, a fruit and vegetable picking and sorting device is provided, comprising a conveyor belt 1 for conveying fruits and vegetables to be sorted, vertical plates 2 are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 perpendicular to the conveying direction, a cleaning mechanism 3 for initially cleaning the fruits and vegetables to be sorted is arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 1 in the conveying direction, and a horizontally arranged support plate 4 is arranged at the bottom of the conveyor belt 1. In actual work, the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable picking and sorting device is placed in front of a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, and the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are first placed on the conveyor belt 1, and the conveyor belt 1 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The conveyor belt 1 is started, and the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are conveyed toward the sorting machine. The fruits and vegetables to be sorted are mixed with impurities such as branches, leaves, or dust. When the fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the cleaning mechanism 3, the surfaces of the fruits and vegetables are first cleaned and pre-treated by the cleaning mechanism 3, and the branches and leaves mixed in the fruits and vegetables are removed at the same time to prevent the branches, leaves, and dust from entering the sorting machine and causing damage to the sorting machine.

[0029] Combination Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a conveying roller 31 horizontally arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 1, both ends of the conveying roller 31 extend to the outside of the vertical plate 2 and are provided with adjustment plates 32 for adjusting the gap between the conveying rollers 31, and a blowing part 33 for blowing and cleaning the surface of fruits and vegetables passed by the conveying roller 31 is provided above the conveying roller 31, and a supporting plate 4 located below the conveying roller 31 is provided with a discharge port 34 for foreign objects blown off by the blowing part 33 to pass through, and a receiving plate 35 for receiving fruits and vegetables is provided between the conveying roller 31 and the conveyor belt 1. In actual work, the spacing between the conveying rollers 31 is adjusted by adjusting the adjustment plate 32 according to the size of the fruits and vegetables to be sorted, so as to adapt to the corresponding fruits and vegetables. When the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are moved to the conveying rollers 31, the branches and leaves mixed in the fruits and vegetables fall to the discharge port 34 through the gaps between the conveying rollers 31. At the same time, the dust attached to the surface of the fruits and vegetables is blown to the discharge port 34 by the blowing part 33, thereby achieving the initial cleaning of the fruits and vegetables and preventing impurities such as branches and leaves and dust from entering the sorting machine.

[0030] Furthermore, the conveying roller 31 includes a plurality of rotating rollers 311 arranged in parallel with each other. The rotating rollers 311 are oriented perpendicular to the vertical plate 2. Adjustment rods 312 penetrating the vertical plate 2 and movably connected to the adjustment plate 32 are provided at both ends of the rotating rollers 311. Both ends of the receiving plate 35 are fixed to the inner wall of the vertical plate 2. The receiving plate 35 is inclined. The height of the receiving plate 35 facing the conveying roller 31 is higher than the height of the side away from the conveying roller 31. When the fruits and vegetables are transferred to the end of the conveyor belt 1, they first fall to the receiving plate 35. Since the receiving plate 35 is inclined, the fruits and vegetables can continue to slide toward the conveying roller 31. At the same time, the side edge of the receiving plate 35 facing the conveying roller 31 extends to the top of the conveying roller 31, ensuring that the fruits and vegetables can fall onto the rotating roller 311. When the fruits and vegetables are continuously conveyed, the fruits and vegetables on the rotating roller 311 are pushed toward the sorting machine. When passing between multiple rotating rollers 311, small branches and leaves mixed in the fruits and vegetables fall into the discharge port 34 below through the gaps between the rotating rollers 311 to be collected.

[0031] Combination Figure 3 In one embodiment, the adjustment plate 32 includes an insert plate 321 movably arranged on the outer side of the vertical plate 2, and a strip hole 322 for the adjustment rod 312 to pass through is opened on the insert plate 321, and a telescopic rod 323 for adjusting the height of the insert plate 321 is connected to the middle of the insert plate 321. The number of the strip holes 322 is consistent with the number of the rotating rollers 311. The strip holes 322 are symmetrically arranged with the middle of the insert plate 321 as the center, and the spacing between the tops of the strip holes 322 is greater than the spacing between the bottoms of the strip holes 322; the telescopic rod 323 is vertically arranged, and the bottom end of the telescopic rod 323 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side wall of the insert plate 321, and the top end is fixed to the outer side wall of the vertical plate 2; the vertical plate 2 corresponding to the adjustment rod 312 is opened with a horizontal groove for the adjustment rod 312 to move. In actual work, since the sizes of fruits and vegetables to be sorted are different, it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the rotating rollers 311 according to the sizes of the fruits and vegetables. When the spacing between the rotating rollers 311 needs to be adjusted, the length of the telescopic rod 323 is adjusted to drive the insertion plate 321 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. Since the adjustment rod 312 is inserted into the bar hole 322, and the spacing between the tops of the bar holes 322 is greater than the spacing between the bottoms of the bar holes 322, that is, when the insertion plate 321 descends, the adjustment rod 312 opens toward the outside along the bar hole 322, and the horizontal groove provided on the vertical plate 2 ensures that the adjustment rod 312 moves horizontally along the horizontal groove and will not move in the vertical direction due to the movement of the bar hole 322. When the insertion plate 321 rises with the adjustment of the telescopic rod 323, the adjustment rod 312 merges toward the middle along the bar hole 322, thereby realizing the adjustment of the spacing between the rotating rollers 311.

[0032] Recombination Figure 2 In one embodiment, the blowing part 33 includes a fixed plate 331 horizontally fixed between the vertical plates 2 above the conveying roller 31, and an air pump 332 is provided above the fixed plate 331. The air outlet of the air pump 332 extends to the bottom of the fixed plate 331 to blow air vertically toward the conveying roller 31. In actual work, when fruits and vegetables pass above the conveying roller 31, the air pump 332 is started to blow air to the fruits and vegetables on the conveying roller 31, and the blowing direction is vertically downward to blow dust on the surface of the fruits and vegetables to the discharge port 34 below. The fixed setting of the fixed plate 331 ensures the stability of the air pump 332 during operation.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the utility model is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the above utility model. For example, the above features are replaced with the technical features of the utility model (but not limited to) with similar functions in the utility model of the utility model to form a technical solution.
