[0036] The following is an explanation and description of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the utility model, but the following embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiment in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0037] In the description of this embodiment, it should be noted that if the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "front", "back", etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore, cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. In addition, if the terms "first", "second", and "third" appear, they are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a fruit and vegetable belt buffer conveyor device proposed in one embodiment of the utility model comprises a front feeding module 2, an opening and closing fruit sorting module 3, a buffer conveying module 4, a belt buffer submodule 5 and a buffer fruit placing module 6; the front feeding module 2 comprises a front feeding conveyor belt 201 for conveying fruits 10; the opening and closing fruit sorting module 3 comprises a shifting plate 301, and the shifting of the shifting plate 301 enables it to have a first state of distributing the fruits 10 on the front feeding conveyor belt 201 to the buffer conveying module 4 and a second state of distributing the fruits 10 on the front feeding conveyor belt 201 to the belt buffer submodule 6. 5 is in the second state; the buffer conveying module 4 includes a buffer conveying channel 401, which conveys the fruit 10 to the bottom of the buffer conveying module 4; the buffer submodule 5 includes a buffer conveyor belt 500 connected to the front feeding conveyor belt 201; the buffer fruit release module 6 is located at the end of the buffer submodule 5, and the buffer fruit release module 6 includes a flip plate 601 with a damping rotation setting. When the fruit 10 moves from the buffer conveyor belt 500 to the flip plate 601, the gravity of the fruit 10 drives the flip plate 601 to flip so that the fruit 10 falls below the buffer fruit release module 6.

[0039] When the fruit 10 is put into the front feeding module 2, the front feeding conveyor belt 201 drives the fruit 10 to move toward the buffer submodule 5. When no buffer is needed, the paddle plate 301 extends into the upper side of the front feeding conveyor belt 201. The paddle plate 301 is in the first state. The fruit 10 is paddled to the buffer conveying module 4 by the paddle plate 301. Under the guidance of the buffer conveying channel 401, the fruit 10 moves downward to the bottom of the buffer conveying module 4. Subsequent processing equipment such as a conveyor belt and a sorting mechanism can be arranged below the buffer conveying module 4. If the amount of fruit 10 is too much, the paddle plate 301 is paddled to the second state. The paddle plate 301 is moved to the second state. 01 leaves the upper side of the front feeding conveyor belt 201, and the fruit 10 moves toward the buffer submodule 5 with the front feeding conveyor belt 201. After entering the buffer submodule 5, the fruit 10 is distributed on the buffer conveyor belt 500 to achieve fruit 10 caching. When the amount of fruit 10 is too much and causes the buffer submodule to overflow, the fruit 10 moves to the buffer fruit release module 6, and the gravity of the fruit 10 drives the flip plate 601 to flip, so that the fruit 10 falls to the bottom of the buffer fruit release module 6. Other conveyor belts or processing devices that cooperate with the flip plate 601 are arranged below the buffer fruit release module 6 to achieve subsequent fruit 10 processing.

[0040] The cache of the present application is implemented by using a cache submodule 5, which maintains orderly transportation of the fruits 10 while caching. The fruits 10 that do not need to be cached can be switched to other positions through the buffer transportation module 4, and the fruits 10 that need to be cached can be cached in the cache submodule 5. After the cache submodule 5 is full, it can be further switched to other positions through the buffer fruit release module 6. The individual states of the fruits 10 can be maintained, which is convenient for re-entering the sorting and cleaning links later, and ensuring the efficiency of sorting and cleaning.

[0041] As one example of the above solution, the buffer conveying channel 401 is spiral-shaped. Through the spiral bottom surface structure, a part of the gravity of the fruit 10 is offset, and the falling path of the fruit 10 is extended, thereby playing a buffering role.

[0042] As a simple replacement for the above solution, the buffer conveying channel 401 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface structure is used to extend the falling path of the fruit 10, increase the friction force, and slow down the falling speed of the fruit 10.

[0043] As one of the embodiments of the present invention, a fruit and vegetable belt buffer conveyor device is proposed. The buffer conveyor belt 500 includes several groups of sub-conveyor belts. The conveying directions of adjacent sub-conveyor belts are opposite. The fruit and vegetable belt buffer conveyor device also includes a belt transmission module 7. The belt transmission module 7 includes several transmission pulleys and a double-sided transmission belt 701 connected to the transmission pulleys. Both sides of the double-sided transmission belt 701 can be transmitted. The transmission pulley is equipped with a driving motor 702 that drives it to rotate. The transmission pulley includes a first transmission pulley 703 and a second transmission pulley 704 that respectively cooperate with the two surfaces of the double-sided transmission belt 701. Adjacent sub-conveyor belts respectively cooperate with the first transmission pulley 703 and the second transmission pulley 704 to achieve conveying in opposite directions. A reversing plate 501 is provided between adjacent sub-conveyor belts for guiding the fruit 10 so that the fruit 10 jumps between adjacent sub-conveyor belts. The reversing plate 501 is arranged above the adjacent sub-conveyor belts. Each set of sub-conveyor belts includes an annular belt and rollers at both ends of the belt, and pulleys are provided at the ends of the rollers. The pulleys can coordinate the transition between the belt and the intermediate belt, pulleys, etc., and can be driven to rotate by the first drive pulley 703 or the second drive pulley 704 in the belt drive module 7. Figure 4 As shown, the reversing plate 501 is an arc plate. The two ends of the reversing plate 501 correspond to the opposite outer sides of two adjacent sub-conveyor belts, respectively, to ensure the guiding effect on the fruits 10.

[0044] As a simple replacement of the above solution, the reversing plate 501 is a bent plate.

[0045] Furthermore, a guardrail 502 is provided between adjacent buffer conveyor belts 500, and the guardrail 502 is spaced apart from the reversing plate 501 to form a passage 503 for the fruit 10 to pass through. The orderly conveyance of the fruit 10 is achieved, and the fruit 10 is prevented from rolling randomly on the adjacent buffer conveyor belts 500, thereby affecting the buffering efficiency and reliability. The front feeding conveyor belt 201 includes an annular belt and rollers at both ends of the belt, one of which is an active roller and the other is a driven roller. The active roller is driven by the double-sided transmission belt 701 to drive the front feeding conveyor belt 201.

[0046] like Figure 8As shown, the first transmission pulley 703 is located in the area surrounded by the double-sided transmission belt 701. There are five first transmission pulleys 703. The two first transmission pulleys 703 on the lower side are located at the bottom of the belt transmission module 7 and arranged side by side to tension the double-sided transmission belt 701. One of the three first transmission pulleys 703 on the upper side is directly connected to the drive motor 702, and another first transmission pulley 703 drives the front feed conveyor belt 201 and drives one of the sub-conveyor belts through the pulley assembly. The remaining first transmission pulley 703 drives another sub-conveyor belt through the wheel shaft and the pulley assembly, so that the two sub-conveyor belts at intervals can rotate synchronously in the same direction. A tensioning pulley 705 is arranged on the outer side of the double-sided transmission belt 701 for tensioning the outer side of the double-sided transmission belt 701. Two second transmission pulleys 704 are matched on the outer side of the double-sided transmission belt 701, and one of the second transmission pulleys 704 is used to drive a sub-conveyor belt through the wheel shaft and the pulley assembly.

[0047] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there are three groups of sub-conveyor belts, which are arranged in parallel. The three groups of sub-conveyor belts include a first sub-conveyor belt 504 connected to the front feeding conveyor belt 201, a second sub-conveyor belt 505 parallel to and adjacent to the first sub-conveyor belt 504, and a third sub-conveyor belt 506 parallel to and adjacent to the second sub-conveyor belt 505. The first sub-conveyor belt 504, the third sub-conveyor belt 506 and the front feeding conveyor belt 201 are driven by the first transmission pulley 703, and the second sub-conveyor belt 505 is driven by the second transmission pulley 704. The drive here can be that the first transmission pulley 703 is coaxially connected with the pulley of the corresponding conveyor belt, or it can be achieved by the rotation drive through the cooperation of transmission components such as belts, gears, etc.

[0048] Through the belt drive module 7, in the present application, the front feeding conveyor belt 201, the first sub-conveyor belt 504, the second sub-conveyor belt 505 and the third sub-conveyor belt 506 are driven by the same driving motor 702, and the synchronization between the several conveyor belts is guaranteed, and the front feeding conveyor belt 201, the first sub-conveyor belt 504 and the third sub-conveyor belt 506 can keep rotating at the same speed and in the same direction, and the first sub-conveyor belt 504 and the second sub-conveyor belt 505 rotate in opposite directions at the same speed, thereby ensuring that the fruits 10 are evenly dispersed on the several conveyor belts. When buffered on the sub-conveyor belts, the spacing between them remains almost unchanged compared to the initial spacing on the front feeding conveyor belt 201, thereby maintaining the individualized state of the fruits 10, facilitating the subsequent re-entry into the sorting and cleaning links, and ensuring the efficiency of sorting and cleaning.

[0049] The fruit and vegetable belt buffer conveyor device disclosed in the present application also includes a frame 1, a belt drive module 7 is located at one side of the frame 1, a front feeding module 2 and a first sub-conveyor belt 504 are located at one end of the upper side of the frame 1 close to the belt drive module 7, a second sub-conveyor belt 505 and a third sub-conveyor belt 506 are arranged in parallel with the first sub-conveyor belt 504, a buffering fruit placing module 6 is located at the tail end of the third sub-conveyor belt 506, and a buffering conveying module 4 and an opening and closing fruit dividing module 3 are located in the area sandwiched by the belt buffer sub-module 5 and the front feeding module 2. A lower conveyor belt 11 is provided at the lower side of the belt buffer sub-module 5, and when the flip plate 601 flips downward, the fruit 10 on the flip plate 601 moves to the upper side of the lower conveyor belt 11. The lower conveyor belt 11 is driven by the second transmission pulley 704 located at the lower side of the belt drive module 7. The lower conveyor belt 11 corresponds to the lower side of the third sub-conveyor belt 506. The fruit and vegetable belt buffer conveyor fully utilizes the space environment of the frame 1, has a compact structure, occupies little space, is suitable for use inside the picking machine, and is convenient and efficient. The belt drive module 7 is used as a power source, and the motion control is simple and efficient, and the power source occupies little space.

[0050] Reinforcement ribs 9 are provided on the frame 1 to improve the strength of the frame 1. A sensor 8 for detection is provided at the connection position of the frame 1 corresponding to the front feeding conveyor belt 201 and the first sub-conveyor belt 504 to prevent the fruit 10 from failing to pass through the connection and accumulating at the connection or on the frame 1, thereby ensuring the conveying function of the material. After the fruit 10 enters the upper layer of the buffer submodule 5, the sensor 8 responds and records the number of buffered fruits 10. When the fruit 10 leaves the lower layer of the buffer submodule 5, the sensor 8 responds and records the number of buffered fruits 10 released. The difference between the counts of the two sensors 8 is the number of fruits 10 currently buffered.

When the plate 301 rotates, one end of the plate 301 switches between being located on the upper side of the front feeding conveyor belt 201 and leaving the upper side of the front feeding conveyor belt 201 to achieve fruit sorting. The linear drive mechanism 304 adopts an electric push rod. As a simple replacement for the above scheme, the linear drive mechanism 304 adopts a cylinder or an oil cylinder.

[0052] The buffering fruit placing module 6 comprises a first support frame 602 and a second support frame 603 which are fixedly connected to the frame 1 and are arranged opposite to each other. The flip plate 601 is rotatably connected between the first support frame 602 and the second support frame 603 through a bearing.

The embedded torsion spring 605 mechanism comprises a pre-tightening adjustment block 604 which is relatively fixed to the frame 1. The pre-tightening adjustment block 604 is rotatably arranged relative to the flip plate 601 through a bearing. The two ends of the torsion spring 605 are respectively fixedly connected to the pre-tightening adjustment block 604 and the flip plate 601.
