Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fruit sorting, in particular to a fruit sorting device with anti-collision function. Background Art

[0002] After fruits are picked, they need to be sorted and packaged, and then sold to various places. Among them, sorting is to classify fruits of different sizes according to their sizes. Existing fruit sorting devices are usually large-scale equipment. Freight trucks unload fruits into the sorting equipment. However, during the fruit sorting process, the fruits fall from top to bottom through sorting holes onto an inclined conveyor. The inclined setting of the conveyor facilitates fruit transportation. As a result, during the process of the fruits falling onto the conveyor, the falling height of the fruits at the front end is greater than that of the fruits at the rear end. This increases the collision force between the fruits and the conveyor, leading to easy bruising and damage to the fruits, and thus increasing the bad fruit rate. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a fruit sorting device with anti-collision function to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0005] According to a fruit sorting device with anti-collision function of the utility model, it includes a sorting box with an upward opening. The upper end part of the sorting box is fixedly provided with an inclined plate. The inclined plate includes horizontal ends at the left and right ends and an inclined end extending downward from left to right in the middle. A buffer cavity is formed between the sorting box and the inclined plate. The buffer cavity is filled with cleaning water. The buffer cavity is rotatably connected with rotation rods evenly distributed left and right. A power mechanism is connected to the rotation rods. The power mechanism includes a power motor fixedly provided on the rear end face of the sorting box. The front end of the power motor is provided with a power output end, and the power output end is fixedly connected to the rotation rod at the left end. A transmission mechanism is connected between two adjacent rotation rods left and right. A fixing frame is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the rotation rod. Sorting cylinders evenly distributed left and right are provided in the buffer cavity. Each sorting cylinder is provided with openings with different apertures. The aperture of the opening gradually increases from left to right. A pushing plate is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the rotation rod and located in the buffer cavity. Through cavities are respectively provided on the front end face of the sorting box and corresponding to the sorting cylinders front and back. Transport channels are fixedly provided on the front end face of the sorting box and symmetrically located before and after the through cavities. A filter plate is fixedly embedded on the transport channel. A water tank is fixedly provided below the filter plate at the lower end of the transport channel. A water pump and a water pipe are connected between the water tank and the sorting box.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0007] By filling the buffer cavity with water, the water buffers the fruits that fall into the buffer cavity, thereby preventing the phenomenon of bump damage caused by the fruits directly falling on the transportation path. At the same time, the water can wash the fruits that fall into the buffer cavity. Combining these two working steps improves work efficiency.

[0008] Through the push plate arranged in a spiral manner on the outer periphery of the rotating rod, during the process of the sorting cylinder rotating to sort fruits, the fruits are pushed forward, thereby preventing the fruit density from rising due to the accumulation of fruits at the rear end in the buffer cavity. Furthermore, it can prevent the fruits falling from the upper end from colliding with the fruits in the high-density area at the lower end, and prevent the occurrence of damage caused by fruit collision.

[0009] Through the inclined plate arranged from left to right and inclined downward, the fruits are transported, thereby preventing the situation where the fruits cannot move to the right due to abutting against the upwardly protruding sorting cylinder. Brief Description of the Drawings

Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0021] Embodiment 1:

[0022] Referring to Figures 1 - 7 According to an anti-collision fruit sorting device of an embodiment of the present utility model, it includes a sorting box 10 with an upward opening. The upper end portion of the sorting box 10 is fixedly provided with an inclined plate 11. The inclined plate 11 includes horizontal ends at the left and right ends and an inclined end extending downward from left to right in the middle. A buffer cavity 20 is formed between the sorting box 10 and the inclined plate 11. The buffer cavity 20 is filled with cleaning water. Rotating rods 23 evenly distributed left and right are rotatably connected to the buffer cavity 20. A power mechanism is connected to the rotating rods 23. The power mechanism includes a power motor 22 fixedly provided on the rear end face of the sorting box 10. The front end of the power motor 22 is provided with a power output end, and the power output end is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 23 at the left end. A transmission mechanism 25 is connected between two adjacent rotating rods 23 left and right. A fixing frame 21 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the rotating rod 23. Sorting cylinders 12 evenly distributed left and right are provided in the buffer cavity 20. Each sorting cylinder 12 is provided with openings 13 with different apertures. The aperture of the opening 13 gradually increases from left to right. A pushing plate 24 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the rotating rod 23 and located in the buffer cavity 20. Through cavities 14 are respectively formed on the front end face of the sorting box 10 and corresponding to the sorting cylinders 12 front and rear. Transport channels 15 are fixedly provided on the front end face of the sorting box 10 and symmetrically located before and after the through cavities 14. Filter plates 16 are fixedly embedded on the transport channels 15. A water tank 17 is fixedly provided below the transport channels 15 and below the filter plates 16. A water pump 18 and a water pipe 19 are connected between the water tank 17 and the sorting box 10.

[0023] The working process of this solution is as follows:

[0024] Before the sorting work is carried out, the user adds water into the buffer chamber 20 so that the water level exceeds the through cavity 14. The water in the buffer chamber 20 stays forward at the transportation track 15 through the opening of the through cavity 14, and drips downward to the water tank 17 through the filter plate 16 at the transportation track 15. The water pump 18 is powered on to work, and is used to re-drain the water in the water tank 17 into the buffer chamber 20 through the water pipe 19;

[0025] The fruits are placed on the inclined plate 11 from the left end part of the sorting box 10. Through the downward inclination of the inclined plate 11, the fruits move from left to right to the sorting cylinder 12. The sorting cylinder 12 is controlled to rotate by a power mechanism. For example, when the power motor 22 is powered on to work, the power output end on the power motor 22 rotates. With the power output end fixedly connected to the rotating rod 23 at the left end, the rotating rod 23 at the left end is driven to rotate. At the same time, under the belt drive of the transmission mechanism 25, the three rotating rods 23 at the right end are synchronously driven to rotate, thereby driving the sorting cylinder 12 fixedly connected to the rotating rod 23 through the fixing frame 21 to rotate. Thus, the fruits that meet the size requirements are sorted through the openings 13 on the sorting cylinder 12. The fruits with a size smaller than the aperture of the opening 13 fall downward through the opening 13 into the buffer chamber 20. On the contrary, the fruits with a size larger than the aperture of the opening 13 move to the right under the rotation of the sorting cylinder 12. The fruits that meet the size requirements fall downward through the opening 13 and move to the right in sequence;

[0026] The fruits fall downward through the opening 13 and land on the water filled in the buffer chamber 20, so that the fruits float above the liquid surface. The buffer chamber 20 buffers the fruits with water and at the same time has the effect of cleaning the fruits. At the same time, the pushing plate 24 fixedly connected to the rotating rod 23 rotates synchronously with the sorting cylinder 12. Under the rotation of the pushing plate 24, the spiral setting of the pushing plate 24 is used to push the fruits in the buffer chamber 20 from back to front to the through cavity 14. The fruits fall into the transportation track 15 through the through cavity 14, and the downward inclination of the transportation track 15 makes the fruits move forward into the corresponding collection box. The water falls downward through the filter plate 16 into the water tank 17.

[0027] Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that various modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the general spirit and concept of the present invention. All of them fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is subject to the claims attached to the present invention.
