[0029] The following various embodiments are only for illustration purposes. Combinations can be made between the various embodiments, and it is not limited to the content shown in the following single embodiment.
[0030] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the present utility model provides a potato sorting, feeding and collecting mechanism 34 with a buffer structure, including: a feeding component 31 and a collecting mechanism 34. The feeding component 31 includes a spiral cross plate 311, two spiral arc plates 312, a spiral bottom plate 313, two side plates 314 and a feeding pipe 315. The two ends of the two spiral arc plates 312 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends in the width direction of the spiral cross plate 311 and the two ends in the width direction of the spiral bottom plate 313. The two side plates 314 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the spiral bottom plate 313. The spiral cross plate 311, the spiral bottom plate 313, the two spiral arc plates 312 and the two side plates 314 enclose a feeding space 316. The feeding pipe 315 is located on the lower side of the spiral bottom plate 313 and is communicated with the feeding space 316. The feeding pipe 315 can be an arc structure. The collecting mechanism 34 includes a first buffer component 341, a second buffer component 342 and a collecting component. The second buffer component 342 includes a plurality of annular air bags 3421, and the plurality of annular air bags 3421 are all arranged along the conveying direction of the feeding pipe 315. The first buffer component 341 performs the first buffer and energy dissipation on the sorted potatoes, and the collecting component is used to collect the potatoes conveyed out of the feeding pipe 315.
[0031] During operation, there are three potato sorting, feeding, and collecting mechanisms 34. Each spiral cross plate 311 is straddled on the spiral plate of the sorting device. The width of the spiral cross plate 311 is greater than that of the spiral plate. A feeding space 316 is formed through the cooperation of the spiral cross plate 311, the spiral bottom plate 313, two spiral arc plates 312, and two side plates 314. The feeding pipe 315 is located on one side of the lower end of the spiral bottom plate 313 and is connected to the feeding space 316. When potatoes are sorted on the spiral plate of the sorting device, the potatoes are buffered and energy-dissipated by the first buffer assembly 341, initially reducing the impact force on the potatoes. Utilizing the gravity of the potatoes themselves and the guiding effect of the spiral structure, the potatoes can roll smoothly from a high place to a low place. Subsequently, the potatoes fall into the feeding pipe 315 through the first buffer assembly 341. A plurality of annular air bags 3421 are arranged along the conveying direction of the feeding pipe 315, enabling the plurality of annular air bags 3421 to buffer the potatoes, thereby effectively preventing damage caused by collisions during the conveying process of the potatoes. The collecting assembly can accurately collect the potatoes conveyed out of the feeding pipe 315.
[0032] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the annular air bag 3421 is integrally formed with the feeding pipe 315. The integral formation of the annular air bag 3421 and the inner wall of the feeding pipe 315 enables the annular air bag 3421 to work better in coordination with the feeding pipe 315. When buffering the impact of the potatoes, the buffer force can be more effectively evenly distributed on the inner wall of the feeding pipe 315, thereby improving the integrity and durability.
[0033] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the feeding diameters of the plurality of annular air bags 3421 gradually decrease along the feeding direction of the feeding pipe 315. The gradually decreasing diameters of the plurality of annular air bags 3421 along the feeding direction of the feeding pipe 315 result in a stronger buffering effect of the annular air bags 3421 on the potatoes, thereby being able to more effectively absorb the kinetic energy of the potatoes and achieving a better buffering effect.
[0034] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the first buffer assembly 341 includes a spiral buffer plate 3411 and a first elastic member 3412. Both ends in the width direction on one side of the high end of the spiral buffer plate 3411 are rotatably connected to the side walls of the two spiral arc plates 312; the first elastic member 3412 is used to reset the spiral buffer plate 3411 upward. During operation, when potatoes are sorted on the spiral plate of the sorting device, the potatoes fall onto the spiral buffer plate 3411, and the elastic member is compressed downward, initially reducing the impact force on the potatoes. Utilizing the gravity of the potatoes themselves and the guiding effect of the spiral structure, the potatoes can roll smoothly from a high place to a low place. Subsequently, the potatoes fall into the feeding pipe 315 through the spiral buffer plate 3411. After one conveying cycle, the elastic member resets the spiral conveying plate upward to prepare for the next buffering.
[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the first elastic member 3412 includes a spring. The two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the spiral buffer plate 3411 and the spiral bottom plate 313, and can provide a stable and continuous restoring force for the spiral buffer plate 3411.
[0036] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , there are a plurality of the first elastic members 3412. The plurality of first elastic members 3412 are arranged at intervals along the spiral direction of the spiral buffer plate 3411, which can make the restoring force evenly distributed at each position of the spiral buffer plate 3411, improve the uniformity of the buffering effect, and can also enhance the connection stability between the spiral buffer plate 3411 and the spiral bottom plate 313.
[0037] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the first buffer assembly 341 further includes a spiral airbag pad 3413. The spiral airbag pad 3413 is fixedly connected to the top of the spiral buffer plate 3411. Before the potato rolls down and impacts the spiral buffer plate 3411, the spiral airbag pad 3413 first contacts the potato, and uses the compressibility of the gas in the airbag to absorb part of the impact force, thereby further effectively preventing the potato from being damaged or broken.
[0038] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the collection assembly includes a base 3431, an L-shaped plate 3432, a collection frame 3433, two side arms 3434, a limiting plate 3435 and a second elastic member 3436. The L-shaped plate 3432 is rotatably connected to the base 3431 at a vertical position. The two ends of the two side arms 3434 are respectively fixedly connected to the vertical part and the horizontal part at both ends in the width direction of the L-shaped plate 3432. The limiting plate 3435 is perpendicular and fixedly connected to the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate 3432. The L-shaped plate 3432, the limiting plate 3435 and the two side arms 3434 form an accommodating space, and the collection frame 3433 is placed in the space; the second elastic member 3436 is used to reset the L-shaped plate 3432 in a direction away from the base 3431.
[0039] An accommodation space is formed by the L-shaped plate, the limiting plates 3435 and the two side arms 3434 to place the collection box 3433, so that when the collection box 3433 is full of potatoes, it is convenient to take out and place the next collection box 3433. When the second elastic member is initially in an uncompressed state, the collection box 3433 is in an inclined state, and the potatoes conveyed by the feeding pipe 315 can roll along the side wall of the collection box 3433 and fall into the collection box 3433, further avoiding the situation of potato breakage due to collision. The second elastic member 3436 can also play a buffering role when the potatoes fall.
[0040] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the second elastic member 3436 is a spring, which can provide a restoring force for the L-shaped plate 3432 to restore in the direction away from the base 3431.
[0041] In this embodiment, a weight sensor is provided on the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate 3432, which can monitor the weight of the potatoes in the collection box 3433 in real time and improve the efficiency of the entire collection work.
[0042] Working principle: During operation, there are three potato sorting, feeding and collecting mechanisms 34. Each spiral cross plate 311 straddles the spiral plate of the sorting device. The width of the spiral cross plate 311 is greater than the width of the spiral plate. A feeding space 316 is formed by the cooperation of the spiral cross plate 311, the spiral bottom plate 313, the two spiral arc plates 312 and the two side plates 314. The feeding pipe 315 is located on one side of the lower end of the spiral bottom plate 313 and communicates with the feeding space 316. When potatoes are sorted on the spiral plate of the sorting device, the potatoes fall onto the spiral buffer plate 3411, and the elastic member is compressed downward, so as to initially reduce the impact force on the potatoes. By using the gravity of the potatoes themselves and the guiding effect of the spiral structure, the potatoes can roll smoothly from a high place to a low place. Subsequently, the potatoes fall into the feeding pipe 315 through the spiral buffer plate 3411. After one conveying, the elastic member resets the spiral conveyor plate upward to prepare for the next buffering. A plurality of annular air bags 3421 are arranged along the conveying direction of the feeding pipe 315, so that the plurality of annular air bags 3421 buffer the potatoes, effectively preventing damage caused by collision during the potato conveying process. An accommodation space is formed by the L-shaped plate, the limiting plates 3435 and the two side arms 3434 to place the collection box 3433, so that when the collection box 3433 is full of potatoes, it is convenient to take out and place the next collection box 3433. When the second elastic member is initially in an uncompressed state, the collection box 3433 is in an inclined state, and the potatoes conveyed by the feeding pipe 315 can roll along the side wall of the collection box 3433 and fall into the collection box 3433, further avoiding the situation of potato breakage due to collision. The second elastic member 3436 can also play a buffering role when the potatoes fall.
[0043] In summary, in the present utility model, a feeding space 316 is formed by the cooperation of a spiral cross plate 311, a spiral bottom plate 313, two spiral arc plates 312 and two side plates 314. The feeding pipe 315 is located on one side of the lower end of the spiral bottom plate 313 and communicates with the feeding space 316. When potatoes are sorted out on the spiral plate of the sorting device, the potatoes are buffered and energy-dissipated by the first buffer assembly 341, so as to initially reduce the impact force on the potatoes. By utilizing the gravity of the potatoes themselves and the guiding effect of the spiral structure, the potatoes can roll smoothly from a high place to a low place. Subsequently, the potatoes fall into the feeding pipe 315 through the first buffer assembly 341. A plurality of annular air bags 3421 are arranged along the conveying direction of the feeding pipe 315, so that the plurality of annular air bags 3421 buffer the potatoes, thereby effectively preventing the potatoes from being damaged due to collision during the conveying process. The collecting assembly can accurately collect the potatoes conveyed out of the feeding pipe 315. Therefore, the present utility model effectively overcomes various disadvantages in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
