Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable sorting, in particular to a fruit and vegetable sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, fruits and vegetables are a kind of food that people often eat, including apples, pears, tomatoes, etc.; after fruits and vegetables are ripe, they need to be picked, and after being picked, they are transported to a factory for processing to facilitate subsequent packaging and sales.

[0003] In the related art, generally, after fruit farmers finish picking fruits and vegetables, they will pile up fruits and vegetables of all levels together, and the purchasers will uniformly price and purchase all the fruits and vegetables.

[0004] However, the fruit and vegetable planting areas are generally uneven hilly or mound terrains, which makes it difficult for conventional fruit and vegetable sorting machines to work in the fruit and vegetable planting areas. Fruit farmers will not sort the fruits and vegetables, so that the fruits and vegetables are directly packed and sold to the purchasers after being picked by the fruit farmers. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The embodiment of the utility model aims to provide a fruit and vegetable sorting machine to solve the technical problem that the fruit and vegetable sorting machine in the prior art is difficult to work in the fruit and vegetable planting area.

[0006] The embodiment of the utility model solves its technical problem by adopting the following technical scheme:

[0007] Provide a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including:

[0008] An installation box, the installation box includes a box body, and the box body is provided with an installation cavity and an opening that communicate with each other;

[0009] A sorting mechanism, the sorting mechanism includes a main frame, a conveying component, a detection component and an output component. The main frame is detachably installed in the installation cavity, and the conveying component, the detection component and the output component are all installed on the main frame; the detection component is used to detect the fruits and vegetables on the conveying component, so that the conveying component conveys the detected fruits and vegetables to corresponding positions on the output component.

[0010] Through the above structure, when the sorting mechanism works, it is installed in the installation cavity, and the bottom cavity wall of the installation cavity plays a supporting role for the sorting mechanism, so that even when the installation box is placed on an uneven ground, the sorting mechanism can be stably placed on the flat bottom cavity wall of the installation cavity. Furthermore, the sorting mechanism has a more stable working environment, so that the fruit and vegetable sorting machine in this embodiment can perform preliminary sorting on fruits and vegetables in an uneven fruit and vegetable planting area.

[0011] In addition, the main frame can be disassembled relative to the installation cavity. Thus, during the transportation of the fruit and vegetable sorter, the installation box and the sorting mechanism can be transported separately. When both the installation box and the sorting mechanism are transported to the fruit and vegetable planting area, the sorting mechanism is then conveyed through the opening into the installation cavity, and the main frame is installed in the installation cavity, so that the fruit and vegetable sorter can work on the uneven fruit and vegetable planting area.

[0012] In some embodiments, the installation box further includes a door assembly, the door assembly is installed on the box body, and the door assembly can open or close the opening.

[0013] With the above structure, when the sorting mechanism or fruits and vegetables need to enter the installation cavity, the door assembly can open the opening. After the sorting mechanism is installed in the installation cavity, the door assembly can close the opening to prevent dust and other sundries from entering the installation cavity through the opening.

[0014] In some embodiments, the box body includes a top plate, a bottom plate, support columns, two relatively arranged first side surfaces and two relatively arranged second side surfaces. The area of the first side surface is larger than that of the second side surface. At least two of the openings are provided on each of the first side surfaces. The support columns are installed between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the support columns are installed between two adjacent openings on the same first side surface. One opening is provided on each of the second side surfaces.

[0015] With the above structure, when the area of the first side surface is larger, the support columns located at the first side surface can support the top plate and the bottom plate, so that the connection relationship between the top plate and the bottom plate is more stable. During the operation of the sorting mechanism, the amplitude of the bottom plate shaking due to the vibration of the sorting mechanism is reduced, and the overall stability of the fruit and vegetable sorter is improved.

[0016] In some embodiments, the door assembly includes a door body and a rotating support member. The upper end of the door body is rotatably connected to the box body. The rotating support member is a telescopic structure. One end of the rotating support member is rotatably connected to the door body, and the other end of the rotating support member is rotatably connected to the box body.

[0017] With the above structure, when the door assembly closes the corresponding opening, the rotating support member is in a retracted state. During the process of the door assembly opening the corresponding opening, the rotating support member gradually extends, and one end of the rotating support member rotates relative to the door body, and the other end of the rotating support member rotates relative to the box body, so that the upper end of the door body rotates relative to the box body, and thus the opening can be opened.

[0018] In some embodiments, the rotating support member is a pneumatic spring. Each door assembly includes one door body and two rotating support members, and the two rotating support members are respectively located on opposite sides of one door body.

[0019] With the above structure, when the rotating support is a pneumatic spring, the two rotating supports corresponding to the same door body can be synchronously controlled by the controller so that the two rotating supports corresponding to the same door body extend or retract simultaneously, and thus the door body rotates more stably relative to the box body.

[0020] In some embodiments, the sorting mechanism further includes a control component. The conveying component includes a fruit discharging component and a feeding section, a sorting section, and an output section arranged in sequence. The conveying component can convey fruits and vegetables from the feeding section through the sorting section to the output section; the control component is installed on the main frame, the detection component is located in the sorting section, the output component and the fruit discharging component are located in the output section. The output component includes at least two output channels, and each output channel corresponds to one detection component. The control component can control the fruit discharging component to convey the fruits and vegetables on the conveying component to the corresponding output channel.

[0021] With the above structure, when the conveying component conveys fruits and vegetables to the detection component, the detection component detects the fruits and vegetables and transmits the corresponding electrical signal to the control component. If the electrical signal received by the control component corresponds to the type of fruits and vegetables at this detection component, the control component controls the fruit discharging component to convey the fruits and vegetables to the corresponding output channel.

[0022] In some embodiments, the detection component includes at least any one of a weighing mechanism, a visual detection mechanism, and an internal quality detection mechanism.

[0023] With the above structure, when fruits and vegetables pass through the detection component, the detection component can determine the type of fruits and vegetables according to the weight, external conditions or internal conditions of the fruits and vegetables, and transmit the information of the fruits and vegetables to the control component, so that the control component controls the fruit discharging component, and the fruit discharging component unloads the fruits and vegetables from the output section, so that the fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the corresponding output channel.

[0024] In some embodiments, the fruit and vegetable sorter further includes a telescopic support component and rollers. The conveying component is installed on the upper part of the main frame; the telescopic support component includes a mounting frame and a foot frame. The foot frame can telescopically move relative to the mounting frame. The mounting frame is installed on the lower part of the main frame, and the rollers are installed on the mounting frame;

[0025] When the foot frame retracts relative to the mounting frame, the rollers can contact the ground; when the foot frame extends relative to the mounting frame, the rollers are suspended, and the foot frame is detachably installed on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity.

[0026] With the above structure, when the conveying assembly needs to be conveyed from outside the box body to the installation cavity, it is only necessary to control the door assembly to open the opening, then the footrest retracts relative to the mounting frame, and the roller drives the main frame to move into the installation cavity through the opening; when the main frame is in the appropriate position, the footrest extends relative to the mounting frame, the roller is suspended, and then the footrest is installed on the bottom wall of the installation cavity, so that the main frame can be fixed relative to the box body.

[0027] In some embodiments, the fruit and vegetable sorting machine further includes a anti-falling assembly, and the anti-falling assembly is located on both sides of the sorting section;

[0028] The anti-falling assembly includes a support plate and a side plate. The support plate is installed on the main frame. The support plate can support the fallen fruits and vegetables. The side plate is installed on the periphery of the support plate. In the vertical direction, the side plate protrudes upward relative to the support plate.

[0029] With the above structure, during the process of the conveying assembly conveying fruits and vegetables, even if the fruits and vegetables located at the sorting section accidentally fall off relative to the conveying assembly, the support plate can support the fallen fruits and vegetables so that the fruits and vegetables will not fall to the ground. And when the fruits and vegetables roll to the edge of the support plate, the side plate can limit the fruits and vegetables to prevent the fruits and vegetables from falling to the ground due to rolling.

[0030] In some embodiments, the output assembly includes a rotating platform, a support rod and a locking member. The main frame includes a positioning member. The positioning member is provided with a plugging through hole. The rotating platform is installed on the main frame. The rotating platform includes at least two output channels. The locking member is slidably connected to the support rod;

[0031] The rotating platform can rotate relative to the main frame. One end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the rotating platform. The other end of the support rod can be inserted into the plugging through hole. The locking member is detachably connected to the positioning member.

[0032] With the above structure, when the rotating platform rotates relative to the main frame to different angles, the inclination of the output channel is different, and the speed of the fruits and vegetables sliding along the output channel is also different; the user can adjust the inclination angle of the rotating platform to adjust the sliding speed of the fruits and vegetables to avoid a large number of fruits and vegetables accumulating at the output channel.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, when the sorting mechanism works, it is installed in the installation cavity, and the bottom cavity wall of the installation cavity supports the sorting mechanism, so that even when the installation box is placed on an uneven ground, the sorting mechanism can be stably placed on the flat bottom cavity wall of the installation cavity. Furthermore, the sorting mechanism has a more stable working environment, so that the fruit and vegetable sorting machine in this embodiment can perform preliminary sorting on fruits and vegetables in uneven fruit and vegetable planting fields.

[0034] In addition, the main frame can be disassembled relative to the installation cavity. Thus, during the transportation of the fruit and vegetable sorter, the installation box and the sorting mechanism can be transported separately. When both the installation box and the sorting mechanism are transported to the fruit and vegetable planting area, the sorting mechanism is then conveyed through the opening into the installation cavity, and the main frame is installed in the installation cavity. The fruit and vegetable sorter can then work on the uneven fruit and vegetable planting area. Description of the Drawings

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0049] The following will describe in detail a fruit and vegetable sorter 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application through specific embodiments in conjunction with all the drawings of the specification.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in one embodiment of the present utility model, a fruit and vegetable sorter 100 is disclosed, including an installation box 10 and a sorting mechanism 20. The installation box 10 includes a box body 12, and the box body 12 is provided with an installation chamber 1202 and an opening 1204 that communicate with each other.

[0051] The sorting mechanism 20 includes a main frame 21, a conveying assembly 22, a detection assembly, and an output assembly 28. The main frame 21 is detachably installed in the installation cavity 1202. The conveying assembly 22, the detection assembly, and the output assembly 28 are all installed on the main frame 21. The detection assembly is used to detect the fruits and vegetables on the conveying assembly 22, so that the conveying assembly 22 conveys the detected fruits and vegetables to the corresponding positions on the output assembly 28.

[0052] With the above structure, when the sorting mechanism 20 works, it is installed in the installation cavity 1202. The bottom cavity wall of the installation cavity 1202 plays a supporting role for the sorting mechanism 20, so that even when the installation box 10 is placed on an uneven ground, the sorting mechanism 20 can be stably placed on the flat bottom cavity wall of the installation cavity 1202. Furthermore, the sorting mechanism 20 has a more stable working environment, so that the fruit and vegetable sorting machine 100 in this embodiment can perform preliminary sorting on fruits and vegetables in an uneven fruit and vegetable planting field.

[0053] In addition, the main frame 21 can be detached relative to the installation cavity 1202. Therefore, during the transportation of the fruit and vegetable sorting machine 100, the installation box 10 and the sorting mechanism 20 can be transported separately. When the installation box 10 and the sorting mechanism 20 are both transported to the fruit and vegetable planting field, then the sorting mechanism 20 is conveyed into the installation cavity 1202 through the opening 1204, and the main frame 21 is installed in the installation cavity 1202, and the fruit and vegetable sorting machine 100 can work in an uneven fruit and vegetable planting field.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the box body 12 has a hollow block structure with a trapezoidal cross-section. The top surface and the bottom surface of the box body 12 are both rectangular structures parallel to the horizontal plane. Two opposite side surfaces of the box body 12 are inclined rectangular structures, and the other two opposite side surfaces of the box body 12 are isosceles trapezoidal structures perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The opening 1204 can be rectangular. Openings 1204 are provided on all four side surfaces of the box body 12. One opening 1204 is provided on each isosceles trapezoidal side surface, and two openings 1204 are provided on each rectangular side surface.

[0055] The fruit and vegetable sorting machine 100 is used to sort fruits and vegetables of different weights. The main frame 21 can be detachably installed in the installation cavity 1202 by screws or bolts. The conveying assembly 22 includes a conveying chain driven by a motor and a fruit and vegetable carrying device. Fruits and vegetables can be placed on the fruit and vegetable carrying device, and the fruit and vegetable carrying devices carrying fruits and vegetables are arranged in sequence on the conveying chain. The detection assembly can be an electronic scale for weighing.

[0056] The conveying assembly 22 includes a device for knocking fruits and vegetables. The output assembly 28 includes at least two output channels 2822, and each output channel 2822 corresponds to a device for knocking fruits and vegetables. When the conveying assembly 22 drives the fruits and vegetables past the electronic scale, if the weight of the fruits and vegetables matches the corresponding output channel 2822, the electronic scale transmits an electrical signal to the control assembly 24. The control assembly 24 controls the corresponding device for knocking fruits and vegetables to knock the fruit and vegetable carrying device carrying the fruits and vegetables, causing the fruit and vegetable carrying device to tilt, so that the fruits and vegetables on the fruit and vegetable carrying device can fall into the corresponding output channel 2822.

[0057] In other embodiments, the box body 12 can also be of other structures, such as a hollow cuboid structure; the opening 1204 can also be of other shapes, such as semi-circular; the number of openings 1204 can be only one; the main frame 21 can also be fixed in the installation cavity 1202; the conveying assembly 22 can also include other structures for conveying fruits and vegetables, such as a motor-driven belt; the fruit and vegetable sorting machine 100 can also sort fruits and vegetables according to other types, such as sugar content.

[0058] In some embodiments, the installation box 10 further includes a door assembly 14. The door assembly 14 is installed on the box body 12, and the door assembly 14 can open or close the opening 1204.

[0059] With the above structure, when the sorting mechanism 20 or the fruits and vegetables need to enter the installation cavity 1202, the door assembly 14 can open the opening 1204; after the sorting mechanism 20 is installed in the installation cavity 1202, the door assembly 14 can close the opening 1204 to prevent dust and other sundries from entering the installation cavity 1202 through the opening.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the door assembly 14 is rotatably connected to the upper side edge of the opening 1204, and the door assembly 14 is driven by a pneumatic spring. In other embodiments, the door assembly 14 can also be of other structures, such as a rolling door structure.

[0061] In some embodiments, the box body 12 includes a top plate 121, a bottom plate 122, support columns 123, two relatively arranged first side surfaces 124 and two relatively arranged second side surfaces 125. The area of the first side surface 124 is larger than the area of the second side surface 125. At least two openings 1204 are formed on each first side surface 124. The support columns 123 are installed between the top plate 121 and the bottom plate 122, and the support columns 123 are installed between two adjacent openings 1204 on the same first side surface 124; one opening 1204 is formed on each second side surface 125.

[0062] With the above structure, when the area of the first side surface 124 is relatively large, the support columns 123 located at the first side surface 124 can support the top plate 121 and the bottom plate 122, so as to make the connection relationship between the top plate 121 and the bottom plate 122 more stable; during the operation of the sorting mechanism 20, the amplitude of the shaking of the bottom plate 122 caused by the vibration of the sorting mechanism 20 is reduced, and the overall stability of the fruit and vegetable sorting machine 100 is improved.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first side surface 124 is an inclined rectangular structure, the second side surface 125 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Two openings 1204 are provided on each first side surface 124, and one opening 1204 is provided on each second side surface 125. The shapes and sizes of all the openings 1204 are the same. The support column 123 is a linear rod-shaped structure, and the support column 123 is also inclined.

[0064] In other embodiments, the number of the openings 1204 on the first side surface 124 can also be other numbers, such as three; the size of the openings 1204 on the first side surface 124 can also be different from the size of the openings 1204 on the second side surface 125; the support column 123 can also be perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0065] In some embodiments, the door assembly 14 includes a door body 142 and a rotating support member 144. The upper end of the door body 142 is rotatably connected to the box body 12.

One end of the rotating support member 144 is rotatably connected to the door body 142, and the other end of the rotating support member 144 is rotatably connected to the box body 12.

[0066] With the above structure, when the door assembly 14 closes the corresponding opening 1204, the rotating support member 144 is in a retracted state. During the process of the door assembly 14 opening the corresponding opening 1204, the rotating support member 144 gradually extends, and one end of the rotating support member 144 rotates relative to the door body 142, and the other end of the rotating support member 144 rotates relative to the box body 12, so that the upper end of the door body 142 rotates relative to the box body 12, and then the opening 1204 can be opened.

[0067] Specifically, one end of the rotating support member 144 is hinged to one side of the opening 1204, the other end of the rotating support member 144 is hinged to the side edge of the door body 142, and the hinged position of the rotating support member 144 on the door body 142 is closer to the lower end of the door body 142.

[0068] In some embodiments, the rotating support member 144 is a pneumatic spring. Each door assembly 14 includes a door body 142 and two rotating support members 144. The two rotating support members 144 are respectively located on opposite sides of a door body 142.

[0069] With the above structure, when the rotating support 144 is a pneumatic spring, the two rotating supports 144 corresponding to the same door body 142 can be synchronously controlled by the controller so that the two rotating supports 144 corresponding to the same door body 142 extend or retract simultaneously, and thus the door body 142 is more stable when rotating relative to the box body 12.

[0070] Specifically, the end of the rotating support 144 on the side of the door body 142 facing the support column 123 on the first side 124 is hinged to the support column 123.

[0071] In some embodiments, the door body 142 includes a transparent window 1422.

[0072] With the above structure, during the operation of the fruit and vegetable sorting machine 100, the user can observe the working condition of the sorting mechanism 20 through the transparent window 1422 outside the box body 12.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transparent window 1422 can be made of transparent glass material; in other embodiments, the transparent window 1422 can also be made of other materials, such as translucent colored glass.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the sorting mechanism 20 further includes a control component 24. The conveying component 22 includes a fruit discharging component 224 and a feeding section 221, a sorting section 222, and an output section 223 arranged in sequence. The conveying component 22 can convey fruits and vegetables from the feeding section 221 through the sorting section 222 to the output section 223; the control component 24 is installed on the main frame 21, the detection component is located in the sorting section 222, the output component 28 and the fruit discharging component 224 are located in the output section 223. The output component 28 includes at least two output channels 2822, and each output channel 2822 corresponds to a detection component. The control component 24 can control the fruit discharging component 224 to convey the fruits and vegetables on the conveying component 22 to the corresponding output channel 2822.

[0075] With the above structure, when the conveying component 22 conveys fruits and vegetables to the detection component, the detection component detects the fruits and vegetables and transmits the corresponding electrical signal to the control component 24. If the electrical signal received by the control component 24 corresponds to the type of fruits and vegetables at this detection component, the control component 24 controls the fruit discharging component 224 to convey the fruits and vegetables to the corresponding output channel 2822.

[0076] Specifically, the control component 24 is an electrical box equipped with a control circuit board. The control component 24 is detachably mounted on one side of the conveying component 22, and the detection component is electrically connected to the control component 24. The fruit discharging component 224 can be a device for knocking fruits and vegetables controlled by a solenoid valve. The fruit discharging component 224 includes a solenoid valve and a solenoid valve lever for knocking fruits and vegetables. After receiving the electrical signal from the control component 24, the solenoid valve in the fruit discharging component 224 controls the solenoid valve lever to knock the corresponding fruits and vegetables on the output section 223, so that the fruits and vegetables fall from the output section 223 into the corresponding output channel 2822.

[0077] In some embodiments, the detection component includes at least any one of a weighing mechanism, a visual detection mechanism, and an internal quality detection mechanism.

[0078] With the above structure, when the fruits and vegetables pass through the detection component, the detection component can determine the type of the fruits and vegetables according to the weight, external conditions or internal conditions of the fruits and vegetables, and transmit the information of the fruits and vegetables to the control component 24, so that the control component 24 controls the fruit discharging component 224, and the fruit discharging component 224 unloads the fruits and vegetables from the output section 223, so that the fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the corresponding output channel 2822.

[0079] Specifically, the weighing mechanism can be an electronic scale, and the weighing mechanism is used to weigh the weight of a single fruit or vegetable; the visual detection mechanism can be a visual recognition device with a camera, and the visual detection mechanism is used to identify whether there are damages or defects on the surface of the fruits and vegetables; the internal quality detection mechanism can be a scanning device with infrared rays, and the internal quality detection mechanism is used to detect whether there are damages or defects inside a single fruit or vegetable.

[0080] In some embodiments, both the control component 24 and the output component 28 are detachably mounted on the main frame 21, and both the control component 24 and the output component 28 are located on the same side of the main frame 21.

[0081] With the above structure, after the main frame 21 is installed in the installation cavity 1202, both the control component 24 and the output component 28 are located on the same side of the main frame 21. Furthermore, by only opening the opening 1204 on one first side surface 124, both the control component 24 and the output component 28 can be installed on the main frame 21, making the assembly of the sorting mechanism 20 easier to operate.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control component 24 can be detachably installed on the main frame 21 by bolts or screws, and the control component 24 is located at the loading section 221; the output component 28 is detachably installed on the conveying component 22 through a rotating shaft.

The side plate 2274 is installed on the periphery of the support plate 2272 and protrudes upward relative to the support plate 2272 in the vertical direction.

[0089] With the above structure, during the process of the conveying component 22 conveying fruits and vegetables, even if the fruits and vegetables at the sorting section 222 accidentally fall off relative to the conveying component 22, the support plate 2272 can support the fallen fruits and vegetables so that the fruits and vegetables do not fall to the ground. And when the fruits and vegetables roll to the edge of the support plate 2272, the side plate 2274 can limit the position of the fruits and vegetables to prevent the fruits and vegetables from falling to the ground due to rolling.

[0090] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the support plate 2272 and the side plate 2274 are rectangular. The support plate 2272 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the side plate 2274 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. One side of the support plate 2272 facing away from the conveying component 22 and two sides of the support plate 2272 perpendicular to the conveying component 22 are each connected with a side plate 2274, and thus the side plate 2274 is installed on the periphery of the support plate 2272.

The support plate 2272 is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, the side plate 2274 is perpendicular to the support plate 2272, and the side plate 2274 and the support plate 2272 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the support plate 2272 can also be of other shapes, such as semi-circular.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the feeding section 221 is inclined, and the height of the end of the feeding section 221 facing the output section 223 is greater than the height of the end of the feeding section 221 facing away from the output section 223.

[0093] With the above structure, the height of the end of the feeding section 221 facing away from the output section 223 is lower, so as to facilitate the user to place the fruits and vegetables at the end of the feeding section 221 facing away from the output section 223.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding section 221 has an inclined linear structure; in other embodiments, the feeding section 221 can also be of other structures, such as arc-shaped.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8, in some embodiments, the output component 28 includes a rotating platform 282, a support rod 284, and a locking member 286. The main frame 21 includes a positioning member 212. The positioning member 212 is provided with an insertion through hole 2122. The rotating platform 282 is installed on the main frame 21. The rotating platform 282 includes at least two output channels 2822. The locking member 286 is slidably connected to the support rod 284.

[0096] The rotating platform 282 can rotate relative to the main frame 21. One end of the support rod 284 is rotatably connected to the rotating platform 282. The other end of the support rod 284 can be inserted into the insertion through hole 2122. The locking member 286 is detachably connected to the positioning member 212.

[0097] With the above structure, when the rotating platform 282 rotates relative to the main frame 21 to different angles, the inclination of the output channels 2822 is different, and the speed of the fruits and vegetables sliding down along the output channels 2822 is also different. The user can adjust the sliding speed of the fruits and vegetables by adjusting the inclination angle of the rotating platform 282 to avoid a large amount of fruits and vegetables accumulating at the output channels 2822.

[0098] Specifically, the rotating platform 282 can be connected to the main frame 21 through a detachable rotating shaft. The insertion through hole 2122 is a kidney-shaped hole with a notch at one end. The support rod 284 is a straight rod with a circular cross-section. The side surface of the support rod 284 is provided with an external thread. The locking member 286 is a nut, and the number of the locking members 286 is two. When the rotating platform 282 rotates relative to the main frame 21 to different angles, the angle of the support rod 284 relative to the positioning member 212 is also different, and the support rod 284 with a circular cross-section can be inserted into the kidney-shaped insertion through hole 2122. At the same time, the two locking members 286 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the positioning member 212. After the two locking members 286 are tightened, they can clamp the positioning member 212, so that the locking member 286, the positioning member 212, and the support rod 284 are relatively fixed.
