[0016] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model:

[0017] As shown in the figure, a betel nut transfer module is used to transfer betel nuts from the seed-cutting platform to the core-removing station. It includes an upstream transfer module 1 and a downstream feeding module 2. The transfer module 1 is responsible for transferring the betel nuts after seed-cutting to the feeding module 2. The feeding module 2 transfers the betel nut slices to the core-removing station after receiving them, thus completing the transfer of betel nut slices. The direction in which the betel nuts advance in the module is the X-axis direction. The transfer module 1 includes a retracting cylinder 11. The retracting cylinder 11 is provided with a first slide rail 14. The first slide rail 14 is connected to a first retracting claw 12 through a first retracting claw slide 15, and the first slide rail 14 is connected to a second retracting claw 13 through a second retracting claw slide 16. The first retracting claw 12 and the second retracting claw 13 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged in a mirror image. When the retracting cylinder 11 works, the first retracting claw 12 and the second retracting claw 13 move relatively closer or relatively farther along the first slide rail 14. The displacements of the first retracting claw 12 and the second retracting claw 13 are both in the Y-axis direction.

[0018] The first retracting claw 12 includes a first gripper 121. The first gripper 121 includes an upper finger 124 and a lower finger 125. The upper finger 124 is connected to a second slide rail 122 through an upper slide 126, and the lower finger 125 is connected to the second slide rail 122 through a lower slide 127. The second slide rail 122 is connected to a first clamping cylinder 123. Similarly, the second retracting claw 13 includes a second gripper 131 and a second clamping cylinder 133, which are connected through a fourth slide rail 132. The upper finger 134 and the lower finger 135 of the second gripper 131 are both slidably connected to the fourth slide rail 132.

[0019] The feeding module 2 includes a betel nut gripper 21. The betel nut gripper 21 is connected to a U-axis rotary cylinder 22. There is a betel nut gripper 21 corresponding to the downstream of both the first retracting claw 12 and the second retracting claw 13.

[0020] The betel nut gripper 21 includes a third clamping cylinder 211 connected below the U-axis rotary cylinder 22. The output end of the third clamping cylinder 211 is connected to a third slide rail 212. The bottom end of the third slide rail 212 is connected to a lower clamping finger 213. An upper clamping finger 214 is provided above the lower clamping finger 213. The upper clamping finger 214 is connected to the third slide rail 212 through a third slide 215. The upper clamping finger 214 can generate a displacement in the Z-axis direction along the third slide rail 212.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the number of the lower clamping fingers 213 is two, and the two lower clamping fingers 213 are on the same horizontal plane. The number of the upper clamping fingers 214 is one. The centers of the two lower clamping fingers 213 and the center of one upper clamping finger 214 form an equilateral triangle, so that the clamping of the betel nuts is more stable.

[0022] In actual production, multiple channels often operate together. A betel nut gripper group 3 is composed of multiple betel nut grippers 21 and the same number of U-axis rotary cylinders 22. The betel nut gripper group 3 is connected to the Z-axis linear module 5 through a guide rail 4. The Z-axis linear module 5 controls the height of the betel nut gripper group 3 in the Z-axis direction, so that it can be flexibly docked with upstream or downstream modules. The Z-axis linear module 5 includes a Z-axis slide rail and a Z-axis servo motor. In order to adjust the better transfer function of the betel nut gripper group 3, an X-axis linear module 7 is arranged at the rear end of the Z-axis linear module 5. The Z-axis linear module 5 is connected to the X-axis linear module 7 through a connecting slide plate 6. The X-axis linear module 7 is responsible for adjusting the displacement of the betel nut gripper group 3 in the X-axis direction. The X-axis linear module 7 includes an X-axis guide rail 71 and an X-axis linear motor 72.

[0023] When transporting the cut areca nuts, the transfer module 1 acts first. The avoidance cylinder 11 controls the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 to move relatively away from each other along the Y-axis direction. At this time, the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 are respectively located at both ends of the first slide rail 14. After the distance between the two is adjusted to the maximum, they wait for the seed-cutting platform to transport the cut areca nuts to the middle position between the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13. After the transfer module 1 determines that the seed-cutting platform has reached the position, the avoidance cylinder 11 controls the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 to move relatively closer along the Y-axis direction. The avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 pass through the space reserved by the seed-cutting platform and contact the opposite sides of the areca nut respectively, that is, the avoidance claw one 12 contacts one half of the areca nut, and the avoidance claw two 13 contacts the other half of the areca nut. At this time, although the areca nut has been cut, it is still fixed on the seed-cutting platform. After the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 contact the areca nut, taking the avoidance claw one 12 as an example, the clamping cylinder one 123 controls the upper finger one 124 and the lower finger one 125 to move away from each other along the Z-axis first, and then the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 move closer to each other a little to ensure that the upper finger one 124 and the lower finger one 125 can clamp two-thirds of the half areca nut. Then the clamping cylinder one 123 controls the upper finger one 124 and the lower finger one 125 to move closer to each other along the Z-axis to fix the half areca nut. After both halves of the areca nut are fixed, the seed-cutting platform releases the areca nut, and then the avoidance cylinder 11 controls the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 to move relatively away from each other along the Y-axis direction again to vacate space for the return of the seed-cutting platform and wait for the feeding module 2 to work. The feeding module 2 adjusts the areca nut claw 21 to the same height as the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 through the mutual cooperation of the X-axis linear module 7 and the Z-axis linear module 5, and the avoidance claw one 12 and the avoidance claw two 13 respectively correspond to an areca nut claw 21. Specifically, taking the avoidance claw one 12 as an example, the lower clamping finger 213 is at the same horizontal plane as the upper finger one 124, and the upper clamping finger 214 is at the same horizontal plane as the lower finger one 125. The U-axis rotating cylinder 22 controls the areca nut claw 21 to rotate until the upper clamping finger 214 is opposite to the upper finger one 124, and the lower clamping finger 213 is opposite to the lower finger one 125. The clamping cylinder three 211 controls the upper clamping finger 214 and the lower clamping finger 213 to clamp the remaining one-third of the half areca nut. After the areca nut claw 21 fixes the areca nut, the avoidance claw one 12 releases the areca nut, and the areca nut claw 21 moves along the X-axis direction to the core-removing station; the cooperation between the avoidance claw two 13 and the areca nut claw 21 is the same as the above process. During the process of the areca nut claw 21 moving along the X-axis direction, the U-axis rotating cylinder 22 works to control the areca nut claw 21 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise by 90 degrees. The areca nut claw 21 cooperating with the avoidance claw one 12 rotates counterclockwise by 90 degrees, and the areca nut claw 21 cooperating with the avoidance claw two 13 rotates clockwise by 90 degrees. This ensures that the cut surface faces outward after the areca nut is placed on the core-removing station, which is convenient for core removal.

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.
