Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fruit sorting devices, and particularly relates to a fruit sorting anti-collision slideway. Background Art

[0002] For circular or nearly circular fruits, such as apples, etc., in order to improve the sorting efficiency, they are generally conveyed by a chain and graded by a tilting method. The sorted fruits will fall into the fruit tray after being flipped. During the tilting sorting, there will be a certain drop. In order to avoid the drop from damaging the fruits, a slideway is arranged between the sorting tray and the fruit tray to "reduce the speed" of the falling fruits, thereby avoiding damage. However, during the process of the fruits falling and rolling in the slideway, there is also a risk of slight damage. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the defect that there is slight damage to the fruits when they roll in the slideway in the prior art, and a fruit sorting anti-collision slideway is proposed.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0005] Design a fruit sorting anti-collision slideway, including a fruit inlet and a fruit outlet. The fruit inlet is fixedly arranged on one side of the tilting sorting tray, and the fruit outlet is fixedly arranged above the fruit tray; an elastic bag-shaped slideway is fixedly connected between the fruit inlet and the fruit outlet. Air supply pipes are arranged on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway. At least one exhaust hole is arranged on one side of the air supply pipe corresponding to the bag-shaped slideway. An air inlet interface is arranged at one end of the air supply pipe, and the air inlet interface is connected to an air supply device; when the air supply pipe is in the air supply state, concave air resistance protrusions are formed on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway to gently block the fruits from slowly passing through the bag-shaped slideway.

[0006] Further, the fruit inlet and the fruit outlet are circular tube structures made of rubber, and lip plates are arranged on the inlet side of the fruit inlet and the outlet side of the fruit outlet.

[0007] Further, the bag-shaped slideway is an elastic pipe structure with a smooth inner wall.

[0008] Further, the inner diameters of the fruit inlet, the fruit outlet and the bag-shaped slideway are larger than the diameter of the fruit.

[0009] Further, the exhaust holes on the air supply pipe form continuous wavy air resistance protrusions on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway.

[0010] A kind of anti-collision slideway for fruit sorting proposed by the utility model has the beneficial effects that: between the fruit inlet and the fruit outlet of the utility model, there is a flexible bag-shaped slideway, and the fruit slides down through the bag-shaped slideway, which can avoid the fruit from being bruised during the sliding process. Air resistance protrusions are formed on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway. During the sliding process of the fruit, the air resistance protrusions on both sides can hold both sides of the fruit. By adjusting the air pressure, the gravity of the fruit sliding down is slightly greater than the resistance of the air resistance protrusions to the fruit, which can effectively control the sliding speed of the fruit and make it slowly fall into the fruit tray, thus effectively avoiding the bruising during the flipping and sorting conveyor process and reducing the fruit loss rate during fruit sorting.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0019] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "provided with", "sheathed / connected", "connected", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] Now, in combination with the accompanying drawings of the specification, the structural features of the present utility model will be described in detail.

[0021] See Figures 1 - 4 , a fruit sorting and anti-collision slideway, which includes a fruit inlet 1 and a fruit outlet 2. The fruit inlet 1 is fixedly arranged on one side of the flipping sorting tray 6, so that the fruits sorted by flipping can just fall into the fruit inlet 1. The fruit outlet 2 is fixedly arranged above the fruit tray 7, so that the falling fruits can just fall onto the fruit tray 7. In order to prevent the fruit inlet 1 and the fruit outlet 2 from bruising the fruits, the fruit inlet 1 and the fruit outlet 2 are circular tubular structures made of rubber material. In order to better guide the fruits to enter or slide out, lip plates 3 are provided on the inlet side of the fruit inlet 1 and the outlet side of the fruit outlet 2.

[0022] An elastic structure bag-shaped slideway 5 is fixedly connected between the fruit inlet 1 and the fruit outlet 2. The bag-shaped slideway 5 is an elastic pipeline structure with a smooth inner wall. The bag-shaped slideway 5 can be made of elastic fabric or soft rubber. The inner diameters of the fruit inlet 1, the fruit outlet 2 and the bag-shaped slideway 5 are larger than the diameter of the fruit, so that the fruits can smoothly pass through the fruit inlet 1, the fruit outlet 2 and the bag-shaped slideway 5. Air supply pipes 4 are provided on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway 5. At least one exhaust hole 42 is provided on one side of the air supply pipe 4 corresponding to the bag-shaped slideway 5. An air inlet interface 41 is provided at one end of the air supply pipe 4, and the air inlet interface 41 is connected to an air supply device, such as an air pump, etc.

[0023] When the air supply pipe 4 is in the air supply state, concave air resistance protrusions 51 are formed on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway 5 for gently blocking the slow passage of fruits through the bag-shaped slideway 5. The air outlet holes 42 on the air supply pipe 4 form continuous wavy air resistance protrusions 51 on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway 5. The air resistance protrusions 51 on both sides can provide air resistance to the passing fruits and hinder the fruits from sliding down in a double-sided clamping manner. Using the air resistance method is gentler and can effectively avoid damaging the fruits by collision.

[0024] The anti-collision slideway for fruit sorting of the present utility model has a simple structure and can reduce the fruit loss rate during fruit sorting. Specifically, a flexible bag-shaped slideway 5 is provided between the fruit inlet 1 and the fruit outlet 2, and the fruits slide down through the bag-shaped slideway 5, which can avoid damaging the fruits during the sliding process. Air resistance protrusions 51 are formed on both sides of the bag-shaped slideway 5. During the sliding process of the fruits, the air resistance protrusions 51 on both sides can clamp both sides of the fruits. By adjusting the air pressure, the gravity of the fruits sliding down is slightly greater than the resistance of the air resistance protrusions 51 to the fruits, so as to control the sliding speed of the fruits and make them slowly fall into the fruit tray 7, thereby effectively avoiding damage during the flipping and sorting transmission process.

[0025] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
