Detailed implementation mode

[0035] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a dried fruit processing device with a sorting mechanism, including a housing 1, a feeding rack 2, a feeding hopper 3, a positioning rod 4, a docking pipe 5, a first sieve 6, a second sieve 7, a sorting rack 8, a main conveyor belt 9, a recovery tray 10, a heat insulation rack 11, a protective net 12, a pre-drying box 13, a guiding conveyor belt 14, a pre-drying conveyor belt 15, a heating wire 16 and an electric fan 17;

[0037] Among them, the housing 1 is set as a rectangular box structure, and the housing 1 is the main external structure for dried fruit processing;

[0038] The feeding rack 2 is installed at the upper opening of the housing 1. The bottom end of the feeding rack 2 is docked with the top end of the heat insulation rack 11. The heat insulation rack 11 is arranged inside the housing 1 on one side of the pre-drying box 13. And a slope block penetrating the housing 1 is arranged on one side of the bottom end of the heat insulation rack 11. The slope block of the heat insulation rack 11 penetrates inside the protective net 12, and the protective net 12 is arranged at the side wall opening of the housing 1;

[0039] The upper end of the feeding rack 2 is snap-connected with a feeding hopper 3, and the inner wall surface of the feeding hopper 3 is funnel-shaped. The positioning rods 4 are equidistantly arranged inside the pipeline of the feeding hopper 3, and the docking pipes 5 are equidistantly arranged on the upper end surface of the positioning rods 4. And the docking pipes 5 are connected to the sorting components to sort the dried fruits fed from the feeding hopper 3 into the housing 1;

[0040] The main conveyor belt 9 is installed obliquely inside the housing 1. The main conveyor belt 9 is located at the bottom end of the feeding rack 2. And a recovery tray 10 is slidably connected inside the housing 1 below the main conveyor belt 9. A pre-drying box 13 is arranged at the bottom end inside the housing 1. The upper end of the pre-drying box 13 is provided with a strip-shaped opening. And a guiding conveyor belt 14 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the pre-drying box 13. A pre-drying conveyor belt 15 is arranged below the guiding conveyor belt 14. And one end of the pre-drying conveyor belt 15 penetrates the side wall opening of the pre-drying box 13. The heating wire 16 is arranged at the bottom end of the inner wall surface of the pre-drying box 13. And an electric fan 17 is arranged above the heating wire 16 inside the pre-drying box 13;

[0041] As shown in Figures 1-5 of the accompanying drawings of the specification, during use, the housing 1 is installed in the workshop, and the heat insulation rack 11 arranged inside the housing 1 is docked with the feeding rack 2, asFigures 1-2 As shown, when in use, the unqualified dried fruits selected inside the feeding rack 2 are pushed from the opening provided on one side of the bottom end of the feeding rack 2 towards the heat insulation rack 11. The inclined blocks provided on the surface of the heat insulation rack 11 push the dried fruits towards the outside of the housing 1. A corresponding recycling bin is installed at the opening on the side wall surface of the housing 1. Since the inclined blocks of the heat insulation rack 11 penetrate through one side of the protective net 12, as Figure 1 shown, the fence rotatably connected inside the protective net 12 facilitates buffering the rolling of the dried fruits, avoiding the dried fruits from rolling away too far at a high speed during the rolling process along the inclined blocks of the heat insulation rack 11. The pre-drying box 13 provided at the bottom end inside the housing 1 penetrates through the other side of the housing 1, as Figure 1 shown, the heating wire 16 provided at the bottom end inside the pre-drying box 13 is connected to the controller. When electrically driven, the heating wire 16 generates heat. At the same time, the electric fan 17 is driven to rotate, so that the air flow blown by the electric fan 17 drives the heat of the heating wire 16 to enter upwards into the guiding conveyor belt 14 and the pre-drying conveyor belt 15, and pre-dries the dried fruits on the surfaces of the guiding conveyor belt 14 and the pre-drying conveyor belt 15. A metal mesh is installed on the surface of the heating wire 16 as required to prevent the dried fruits from falling below and increasing the difficulty of taking. Among them, the guiding conveyor belt 14 transports the dried fruits towards the heat insulation rack 11, and the pre-drying conveyor belt 15 transports towards the opening on the side wall surface of the housing 1 through which the pre-drying box 13 penetrates, facilitating pushing the dried fruits outwards. The main conveyor belt 9 provided inside the housing 1 is located above the guiding conveyor belt 14 and is used to receive the selected dried fruits falling from the feeding rack 2. The recycling tray 10 located below the main conveyor belt 9 is inserted from one side of the housing 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the recycling tray 10 is used to collect the moisture and sundries falling from the surface of the dried fruits. Among them, the conveyor belts of the main conveyor belt 9, the guiding conveyor belt 14, and the pre-drying conveyor belt 15 are all of a mesh structure to facilitate the upward flow of hot air. The protrusions provided on the inner wall surface of the housing 1, as Figure 1 shown, are located above the pre-drying box 13 and facilitate pushing the dried fruits on the conveyor belt of the main conveyor belt 9 towards the guiding conveyor belt 14 inside the pre-drying box 13;

[0042] The sorting assembly includes:

[0043] A first sieve 6, the bottom end of which is slidably connected to the docking pipe 5 at the top end of the positioning rod 4. The first sieve 6 and the second sieve 7 are horizontally arranged, and an airbag is provided at the connection between the first sieve 6 and the docking pipe 5, and the docking pipe 5 penetrates through the bottom end of the positioning rod 4 and is connected to the surface of the second sieve 7 through a corrugated pipe;

[0044] A second sieve 7, which is provided below the positioning rod 4, and both sides of the second sieve 7 are slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the feeding hopper 3;

[0045] The sorting grid 8 is inclined and slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the feeding rack 2, and a strip-shaped opening is provided at the bottom end of the inclined surface of the sorting grid 8 inside the feeding rack 2;

[0046] Combined with the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-5 As shown, when in use, the dried fruits that have been cleaned are put into the feeding hopper 3 installed at the upper end of the feeding rack 2. As the dried fruits descend, they squeeze the first sieve 6. Among them, the first sieve 6 is snap-fitted and slidably connected to the docking pipe 5 on the surface of the positioning rod 4. When installed and used, the docking pipe 5 and the first sieve 6 are disassembled and assembled by inserting and pulling up and down. As the first sieve 6 is squeezed by the weight of the dried fruits against the airbag at the top end of the docking pipe 5, the gas inside the airbag flows downward into the spring bellows installed at the bottom end, so that the bellows is inflated to push the second sieve 7 to slide downward along the inner wall surface of the feeding hopper 3. As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the distance between the first sieve 6 and the second sieve 7 is kept stable, avoiding the first sieve 6 being overly bent by the dried fruits and affecting the screening of the dried fruits by the second sieve 7. After the dried fruits are sorted by the first sieve 6 and the second sieve 7, the dried fruits then fall onto the surface of the sorting grid 8. Among them, the fences inside the sorting grid 8 are all inclined, and the distance between the fences at the higher position of the sorting grid 8 is smaller than the distance between the fences at the lower position of the sorting grid 8, which is convenient for the dried fruits to roll along the inclined direction for further screening and selection. Among them, the sorting grid 8 is inserted into the inside of the feeding rack 2 from one side for installation and use. As Figure 2 shown, it is convenient to replace the sorting grids 8 with different spacings later.

[0047] Working principle: When using the dried fruit processing equipment with a sorting mechanism, the dried fruits are put into the inside from above the feeding hopper 3. The dried fruits fall onto the surface of the first sieve 6 along the inclined surface of the feeding hopper 3, causing the first sieve 6 to lower downward inside the feeding hopper 3, thereby causing the first sieve 6 to squeeze the airbag provided at the top end of the docking pipe 5. As the gas flows into the bellows at the upper end of the second sieve 7, the second sieve 7 is displaced downward synchronously, avoiding the space between the first sieve 6 and the second sieve 7 becoming narrow and causing the dried fruits to be blocked inside the feeding hopper 3. Due to the inclined surface of the sorting grid 8, the dried fruits with qualified diameters pass through the gaps between the sorting grids 8 and fall onto the surface of the main conveyor belt 9. As the main conveyor belt 9 pushes and moves downward, the unqualified dried fruits enter the inclined block on one side of the heat insulation rack 11 along the opening on one side of the feeding rack 2, pass through the protective net 12 and are discharged to the outside. The qualified dried fruits are pushed by the main conveyor belt 9, and part of the fruit shells pass through the holes inside the main conveyor belt 9 and fall onto the surface of the recovery tray 10. The remaining dried fruits enter the surface of the guiding conveyor belt 14 inside the pre-drying box 13 through the main conveyor belt 9 and the inclined surface of the inner wall surface of the housing 1. The guiding conveyor belt 14 and the pre-drying conveyor belt 15 are parallel and reverse in transportation, extending the time for the dried fruits to stay inside the pre-drying box 13, enabling the dried fruits to be fully pre-dried by the hot air. As the pre-drying conveyor belt 15 pushes outward, the pre-drying processing of the dried fruits is realized, increasing the overall practicality.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
