Example

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 7The utility model provides a fruit quality grading and packing system, comprising a fruit quantitative grading and transporting mechanism 1, a pre-sorting host 2 and a filling machine 3. The fruit quantitative grading and transporting mechanism 1 comprises a collecting water tank 11, one side of which is sealed and connected with a plurality of branch water tanks 12; one end of the branch water tank 12 is provided with a rotatable barrier 13, and the other end is sealed with a water outlet tank; the bottom of the water outlet tank is sealed and connected with a water inlet pipe 15; one end of the collecting water tank 11 is open and provided with a flange; the barrier 13 is used to control the fruit to enter the collecting water tank 11.

[0027] The flange of the above-mentioned collecting water tank 11 is sealed and connected to the filling machine 3; the branch water tank 12 is used to hold the fruits sorted by the pre-sorting host 2 and transport them to the filling machine 3 for packing in a certain amount through water flow.

[0028] A water pressure plate 14 may be sealed above the bottom of the water outlet trough, and the water pressure plate 14 can further enable the water flow to enter the branch water trough 12 in a balanced and stable manner to push the fruit for transportation.

[0029] When in use, the pre-sorting host 2 transmits the appearance, weight and sweetness data of the fruit to the external computer control room 4, and then the output sorting mechanism in the pre-sorting host 2 sends the fruit to the corresponding branch water tank 12 according to the quality of the fruit, and the computer control room 4 displays the number and weight of the fruit. Since the branch water tank 12 stores flowing water, it can play a buffering role for the fruit.

[0030] When the total amount of fruits in one of the branch water troughs 12 accumulates to fill a box, the barrier 13 at one end of the branch water trough 12 is opened, and the water inlet pipe 15 supplies water to the outlet trough. Under the action of the water pressure plate 14 in the outlet trough, the water flows evenly and smoothly into the branch water trough 12 and pushes the fruits into the collecting trough 11, and the collecting trough 11 delivers the fruits to the filling machine 3.

[0031] The bottom of the collecting water tank 11 here can be tilted downward; wherein the large end of the collecting water tank 11 is located at the opening.

[0032] As an embodiment of the utility model, swing arms are provided on both sides of the top of the guardrail 13, and the swing arms are hinged on the bracket 131, and the bracket 131 is fixed on the top of the branch water tank 12; the bracket 131 is also provided with a cylinder 132 for driving the guardrail 13 to rotate; the cylinder body of the cylinder 132 is hinged to the bracket 131, and the push rod of the cylinder 132 is hinged to the swing arm.

[0033] The bottom of the plurality of branch water tanks 12 may be evenly provided with a plurality of connecting rods 121, and the bottom of the connecting rods 121 may be evenly provided with a plurality of supporting legs 122. Among them, two adjusting feet 123 are symmetrically provided at the bottom of the supporting legs 122 for easy height adjustment.

[0034] As an embodiment of the present invention, a photoelectric sensor A16 is further provided on the bracket 131; the photoelectric sensor A16 is used to detect the fruit in the branch water tank 12. When the branch water tank 12 transports the fruit to the converging water tank 11, the photoelectric sensor A16 detects whether there is fruit in the branch water tank 12, and controls the opening and closing of the barrier 13.

[0035] As an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of photoelectric sensors B17 are provided on the outer top of the collecting tank 11 along the length direction; the photoelectric sensors B17 are used to detect the fruits in the collecting tank 11. When the collecting tank 11 transports the fruits to the filling machine 3, the movement position of the fruits in the collecting tank 11 is detected by the photoelectric sensors B17 in sections.

[0036] An indicator light 18 may be provided on one side of the photoelectric sensor B17. When there is fruit at a certain position of the aggregating sink 11, the indicator light 18 lights up green; when there is no fruit at a certain position of the aggregating sink 11, the red-green indicator light 18 lights up red. The details will not be repeated here.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the filling machine 3 is an existing product, which mainly includes a hopper fixed in the frame and a lifting platform located above the hopper; a leaking port is provided above the lifting platform, and conveyors for transporting boxes are provided at both ends of the lifting platform. When in use, a box is placed on the lifting platform, and then it is lowered into the hopper. The water in the water tank 11 is collected through the leaking port to drop the fruit into the box. The water in the box flows out to the bottom of the hopper and flows through the water treatment device under the action of the water pump. The water treatment device sends the filtered water to the water inlet pipe 15 to realize water circulation. After the box is full, the lifting platform rises, and the box full of fruit is unloaded through external equipment and sent to the warehouse for storage. The details will not be repeated.

[0038] The utility model transmits the graded and screened fruit data to the computer control room 4 through the pre-sorting host 2. Figure 2 As shown, 20 branch troughs 12 accumulate fruits of different qualities. When the fruits in the branch troughs 12 reach the amount that can fill a box, the corresponding branch troughs 12 transport the fruits to the collecting trough 11, so as to achieve the purpose of one-time graded and quantitative transportation, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.

[0039] The utility model can be summarized in other specific forms that do not violate the spirit or main features of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the above embodiments of the utility model can only be regarded as an explanation of the utility model and cannot limit the utility model. The claims indicate the scope of the utility model, while the above description does not indicate the scope of the utility model. Therefore, any changes within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims of the utility model should be considered to be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
