Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vegetable and fruit sorting equipment, in particular to an automatic vegetable and fruit storage sorting device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of large-scale vegetable and fruit cultivation, after the vegetables and fruits are picked, they need to be sorted according to their size, so that they can be collected from large to small and placed in a vegetable and fruit warehouse for subsequent grading, pricing and sales.

[0003] Traditionally, fruit and vegetable sorting is done manually, with workers quickly distinguishing fruits and vegetables of different sizes based on their visual experience. However, in large-scale fruit and vegetable cultivation, due to the large amount of fruits and vegetables, the speed of manual sorting is difficult to meet the requirements of sorting large quantities of fruits and vegetables.

[0004] The Chinese utility model patent with patent application number CN201621253884.2 records a fruit and vegetable sorting device, which moves on a runway through multiple sets of conveyors, and then pours the fruits and vegetables to be sorted continuously between two adjacent sets of conveyors. Fruits and vegetables with fruit sizes smaller than the gap between the bottom ends of two adjacent hinges will fall from the gap, while fruits and vegetables with fruit sizes larger than the gap size will continue to move with the conveyor. As the conveyor moves, the two hinges will successively conflict with the side plates that gradually increase in height. However, in the above device, when the fruits and vegetables are poured between two adjacent hinges, they are squeezed together. Therefore, when two fruits and vegetables whose sizes are smaller than the gap between the hinges are squeezed together, they cannot slide down through the gap, resulting in that the fruits and vegetables cannot be fully and thoroughly sorted, thereby reducing the effect and success rate of the sorting work. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide an automatic sorting device for fruit and vegetable storage to solve the problems of poor automatic sorting effect and low success rate proposed in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions: an automatic sorting device for fruit and vegetable storage, comprising multiple pairs of tracks and multiple groups of mobile carts, electric rollers are installed at the bottom of the mobile carts, and each group of mobile carts is slidably connected to each pair of tracks through the electric rollers. The top of the mobile cart is symmetrically rotatably hinged with two bearing plates, and both sides of each pair of the two tracks are fixedly connected with several pairs of top plates in sequence along the length direction. The heights of the several pairs of top plates gradually increase along the moving direction of the mobile cart. The two bearing plates on each of the mobile carts are respectively attached to the top of each pair of the two top plates, and two auxiliary screening assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the two bearing plates, and the auxiliary screening assembly includes a moving plate arranged on the side of the bearing plate away from the mobile cart and a pushing unit for pushing the moving plate to move back and forth.

[0007] Preferably, the distance between two adjacent teams of top plates is not less than one eighth of the length of the supporting plate. The advantage of such an arrangement is that it ensures that when the two supporting plates collide with top plates of different heights, the gap distance between the bottom ends of the two adjacent supporting plates changes significantly, thereby improving the dispersion effect of the device.

[0008] Preferably, the pushing unit includes a pushing rod and a moving mechanism fixedly connected to the upper side of the moving trolley, and two adjacent groups of pushing rods are staggered, and the back of the pushing rod can touch the front side of the moving plate in place, and the cross-sections of the moving plate and the supporting plate are matching trapezoids, and the thickness of the moving plate gradually decreases from back to front. The advantage of such a setting is that as the moving trolley moves along the track, the moving plate on the moving trolley will touch the pushing rod in turn, and under the action of the trapezoidal cross-sections of the moving plate and the supporting plate, as the moving plate moves backward, it will gradually move toward the direction of the supporting plate until it is separated from the pushing rod, so that the pushing rod will not hinder the normal movement of the moving plate along the track under the premise of being able to push the moving plate to move, and because the moving plate reciprocates back and forth, the fruits and vegetables squeezed together can be fully separated, so that the fruits and vegetables can be sorted more fully and thoroughly, effectively improving the sorting effect and success rate of the device.

[0009] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a guide rod fixedly connected to the side of the supporting plate through two vertical plates, a sliding sleeve is movably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod, an elastic member is fixedly connected between the back side of the sliding sleeve and the front side of the rear vertical plate, and the guide rod is a square rod. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the moving plate can be reset under the elastic force of the elastic member after being separated from the pushing rod, thereby ensuring that the moving plate can move back and forth reciprocatingly, preventing the fruits and vegetables from being squeezed together and unable to be fully and thoroughly sorted.

[0010] Preferably, a receiving groove is provided on the side of the supporting plate away from the moving trolley, and the moving plate is located inside the receiving groove. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the supporting plate and the moving plate are integrated, which effectively improves the aesthetics of the device, and at the same time can prevent the fruits and vegetables from being obstructed and impacted when sliding from the supporting plate to the moving plate, thereby ensuring the safety of the fruits and vegetables and further improving the reliability of the device.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a guide rail installed directly above the mobile trolley, a guide groove is opened at the bottom of the guide rail, a guide block is fixedly connected to the top of the mobile trolley, the guide block is slidably connected in the guide groove, and the push rod is fixedly connected to the side of the guide rail. The advantage of such an arrangement is that it can cooperate with the track to further constrain the moving direction of the mobile trolley, thereby ensuring that the sorting work can be carried out smoothly.

[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. In the present invention, the auxiliary sorting component is provided, which can drive the moving plate to move back and forth under the push of the pushing unit, so that the fruits and vegetables squeezed together can be fully separated, ensuring that the fruits and vegetables can be screened out more efficiently and thoroughly, which can effectively improve the effect and success rate of the automatic sorting work.

[0014] 2. In the utility model, by setting the push rod, the elastic member, and the movable plate and the supporting plate with a matching trapezoidal cross section, the movable trolley can move back and forth along the track, thereby effectively preventing a plurality of fruits and vegetables from being squeezed together and unable to slide down through the gap at the bottom of two adjacent movable plates in time, and further improving the sorting effect of the device.
