Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging equipment, and more specifically, relates to a fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line. Background Art
[0002] Generally, for fruits and vegetables from picking, conveying, packaging to leaving the factory, most of the links adopt mechanical automation. Due to the small volume and light weight of small and medium-sized fruits and vegetables, such as litchi, red dates, etc., compared with large-sized fruits and vegetables, it is more suitable to use automated machinery for operations such as transporting, sorting, and packaging them. In some cases, fruits and vegetables generally need to be weighed and boxed before being sold. In order to make the quality of fruits and vegetables in each packaging box roughly equal, it is necessary to weigh them to a certain determined quality before loading them into the packaging box and then convey them into the packaging box.
[0003] When transporting, weighing and packaging fruits and vegetables, a feeding machine for fruit and vegetable materials feeds the fruits and vegetables. The feeding machine conveys the fruits and vegetables to a weighing machine. After weighing, the fruit and vegetable materials in each weighing hopper fall into the packaging box below the weighing hopper.
[0004] For small and medium-sized fruits, they are easily damaged by falling. There is a certain height difference between the weighing hopper of the weighing machine and the packaging box below it. After the fruit and vegetable materials in the weighing hopper fall into the packaging box, they are often easily damaged due to the excessive height, and manual sorting is required later, which is time-consuming and laborious. While increasing the labor cost, it slows down the speed of fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging.
[0005] Moreover, when the fruit and vegetable materials in the weighing hopper fall into the packaging box, when the height is too high, the fruits and vegetables are likely to cause the packaging box to shake when falling. Often, some fruits and vegetables fall on the edge of the packaging box. Especially for blister packaging boxes, the shaking amplitude of the packaging box is large, and it is easy to have fruit leakage during box loading, resulting in insufficient weight of fruits and vegetables in the packaging box. Manual fruit supplementation is required later, which is not conducive to improving the packaging efficiency. In addition, the missing fruits and vegetables often fall on the weighing and packaging machine, especially easily fall into some gaps, making it difficult to clean. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] The utility model provides a fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line, which solves the problem that in the existing fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging machine, when the fruits and vegetables fall into the packaging box after weighing, they are easily damaged due to the large height difference.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0008] A fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line includes a feeding machine. A weighing hopper is arranged below the outlet of the feeding machine. A packaging conveyor is arranged below the weighing hopper, and the packaging conveyor is used to convey packaging boxes;
[0009] A guide bin assembly is further arranged below the outlet of the weighing hopper;
[0010] The guide bin assembly includes a number of liftable guide bins, which are formed by enclosing a number of inclined side plates and have an outlet and an inlet; the inlet of the guide bin corresponds to the outlet position of the weighing hopper; after the guide bin descends, its outlet position corresponds to the opening position of the packaging box, and the side plates of the guide bin can abut against the opening edge of the packaging box.
[0011] Specifically, the guide bin includes a first side plate arranged oppositely and a second side plate arranged oppositely, and the first side plate and the second side plate enclose the guide bin with a large inlet and a small outlet.
[0012] As a further improvement, the guide bin assembly further includes a relatively arranged long side frame and a relatively arranged short side frame, and the long side frame and the short side frame are connected and enclosed to form a frame support; the guide bin is located in the frame support, and a number of the guide bins are arranged along the extending direction of the long side frame.
[0013] Furthermore, a driving member is connected to the short side frame, the driving member is fixedly arranged relative to the frame of the fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line, and the driving member drives the guide bin to lift.
[0014] As a specific implementation manner, the driving member is a cylinder, an air pipe one and an air pipe two are connected to the cylinder, and the push rod of the cylinder is connected to the short side frame.

For example, the term "upper" may also be used to represent a certain attachment relationship or connection relationship in some cases. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in this application can be understood according to specific situations.
[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description, claims and above-mentioned drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances for the embodiments of the application described herein.
[0030] A fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line is used for automatic weighing and packaging of fruits and vegetables, and includes a feeder 1 and a packaging conveyor. The feeder 1 supplies materials for weighing and packaging, and the packaging conveyor is used to convey the packaging boxes 4.
[0031] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line in this embodiment includes a feeder 1. A weighing hopper 2 is arranged below the outlet of the feeder 1, and a packaging conveyor is arranged below the weighing hopper 2. The packaging conveyor is used to convey the packaging boxes 4. The fruit and vegetable materials enter the weighing hopper 2 through the feeder 1 for weighing. After weighing is completed, the weighing hopper 2 is opened, and the fruit and vegetable materials enter the packaging box 4. During the feeding and weighing period, the packaging conveyor will pre-convey the packaging box 4 to the position below the weighing hopper 2.
[0032] In order to avoid the situation that the fruits and vegetables may be damaged when falling from the weighing hopper 2 into the packaging box 4 due to the height difference between the weighing hopper 2 and the packaging box 4, a guide bin assembly 3 is also arranged below the outlet of the weighing hopper 2.
[0033] Specifically, the guide bin assembly 3 includes a number of liftable guide bin frames 31, for example, eight guide bin frames 31 are arranged. Each guide bin frame 31 is formed by enclosing a number of inclined side plates and has an outlet and an inlet; the inlet of the guide bin frame 31 is correspondingly arranged at the outlet position of the weighing hopper 2; after the guide bin frame 31 descends, the outlet position of the guide bin frame 31 corresponds to the opening position of the packaging box 4, and the side plates of the guide bin frame 31 can abut against the opening edge of the packaging box 4.
[0034] In a specific case, compared between the outlet and the inlet of the guide bin frame 31, the outlet of the guide bin frame 31 is smaller and the inlet is larger. After the guide bin frame 31 rises, the outlet of the weighing hopper 2 can enter the inlet of the guide bin frame 31; after the guide bin frame 31 descends, the outlet of the guide bin frame 31 can enter the opening of the packaging box 4.
[0035] The packaging conveyor transports the packaging boxes 4 to the lower part of each guide bin frame 31. The fruits and vegetables on the feeder 1 are transported into the weighing hopper 2. When the materials in one weighing hopper 2 meet the weighing requirements, the guide bin frame 31 descends, and the outlet side plate of the guide bin frame 31 abuts against the opening edge of the packaging box 4, enabling the guide bin frame 31 to press the packaging box 4. The weighing hopper 2 opens, and the fruits and vegetables fall. The fruits and vegetables will enter the packaging box 4 under the guidance of the guide bin frame 31. On the one hand, the fruits and vegetables first enter the packaging box 4 under the guidance of the guide bin frame 31, avoiding the phenomenon that the fruits and vegetables are directly dropped into the packaging box 4 through the weighing hopper 2 and being damaged due to a large height difference. On the other hand, the descent of the guide bin frame 31 can enable the guide bin frame 31 to press the packaging box 4, avoiding the situation of fruit leakage during the box loading of fruits and vegetables due to the shaking of the packaging box 4. After the fruits and vegetables are loaded into the packaging box 4, the guide bin frame 31 rises. The packaging conveyor transports the boxed packaging box 4 to the next process. At the same time, the unboxed packaging box 4 is transported to the lower part of the guide bin frame 31 to prepare for the next box loading.
[0036] See specifically Figure 3 As shown in, the guide bin frame 31 includes two relatively arranged side plates one 311 and two relatively arranged side plates two 312. The side plates one 311 and the side plates two 312 are inclined and surrounded to form a guide bin frame 31 with a large entrance and a small exit. The exit of the guide bin frame 31 is smaller, and the entrance is larger, making the exit of the weighing hopper 2 smaller than the entrance of the guide bin frame 31, and the exit of the guide bin frame 31 smaller than the opening of the packaging box 4, so as to avoid fruit leakage during the falling of the fruits and vegetables.
[0037] The side plates one 311 and the side plates two 312 are inclined. On the one hand, it realizes that the exit of the guide bin frame 31 is small and the entrance is large. On the other hand, the side plates can play a guiding role in the falling fruits and vegetables, buffer the fruits and vegetables, and reduce the situation of fruit damage.
[0038] As a further improvement, the guide bin assembly 3 further includes two relatively arranged long side frames 32 and two relatively arranged short side frames 33. The long side frames 32 and the short side frames 33 are connected and surrounded to form a frame support. The guide bin frame 31 is located in the frame support, and several guide bin frames 31 are arranged along the extending direction of the long side frame 32. A driving member 34 is connected to the short side frame 33. The driving member 34 is fixedly arranged relative to the frame of the fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line, and the driving member 34 drives the guide bin frame 31 to lift. In order to fix the driving member 34, the driving member 34 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 35, and the support frame 35 is fixedly connected to the frame.
[0039] As a preferred implementation manner, the driving member 34 is a cylinder. An air pipe one 341 and an air pipe two 342 are connected to the cylinder, and the push rod of the cylinder is connected to the short side frame 33. In one case, see Figure 4As shown, the gas enters through trachea 1 (341), the push rod of the cylinder extends, driving the frame bracket to descend, and the guide bin frame 31 follows the frame bracket to descend; the gas enters through trachea 2 (342), the push rod of the cylinder retracts, driving the frame bracket to ascend, and the guide bin frame 31 follows the frame bracket to ascend.
[0040] In another preferred embodiment, a vertical plate 313 is provided on one side of the second side plate 312 close to the entrance of the guide bin frame 31, and a single vertical plate 313 is shared between adjacent guide bin frames 31. By providing the vertical plate 313 and sharing the vertical plate 313 between adjacent guide bin frames 31, on the one hand, the material used for the guide bin frame 31 is reduced, and on the other hand, the vertical plate 313 is vertically arranged (taking Figure 2 the view orientation as an example), which is different from the inclined arrangement of the second side plate 312, reducing the space occupied by a single guide bin frame 31.
[0041] In the fruit and vegetable weighing and packaging line of this solution, the structure is simple and reliable. By providing a liftable guide bin frame 31, it is possible to prevent fruits and vegetables from falling directly into the packaging box 4 through the weighing hopper 2, which may cause damage to the fruits and vegetables. Moreover, when the guide bin frame 31 descends, it can press the packaging box 4, preventing the packaging box 4 from shaking and causing leakage of fruits and vegetables during the box-filling process.
[0042] The terms "installation", "setting", "providing", and "connection" referred to herein should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or there can be internal communication between two devices, components, or parts. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0043] The above schematically describes the present invention and its embodiments. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the embodiments of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and, without departing from the gist of the present invention, design similar structural forms and embodiments to this technical solution without creative efforts, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
