[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a sensor bracket 100, which includes a base 10 and a mounting member 20. The base 10 is used to be fixed on the fruit and vegetable sorter. The mounting member 20 is mounted on the base 10 and is used to fixedly mount a sensor (not shown in the figure). The mounting member 20 can slide up and down relative to the base 10 so that the height of the sensor can be adjusted.
[0031] Specifically, the base 10 includes a fixing plate 11 and a supporting plate 12. The fixing plate 11 is connected to one end of the supporting plate 12 and is used to fix the supporting plate 12. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 11 and the supporting plate 12 are perpendicularly connected. When the fixing plate 11 is in contact with the installation plane of the fruit and vegetable sorter, the supporting plate 12 is perpendicular to the installation plane. The supporting plate 12 is provided with a first adjustment hole 121 arranged in a first direction.
[0032] It can be understood that the supporting plate 12 in this embodiment is located in a vertical plane. The first direction is arranged along the vertical direction.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mounting member 20 includes a mounting plate 21 and a connecting plate 22. The mounting plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 are fixedly connected. The mounting plate 21 is used to fix the sensor. The connecting plate 22 is provided with a second adjustment hole 221. The second adjustment hole 221 is used to cooperate with the first adjustment hole 121 so that the connecting plate 22 is mounted on the supporting plate 12 through a fixing member 40, so that the position of the connecting plate 22 on the supporting plate 12 in the first direction is adjustable.
[0034] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 are vertically connected. When the connecting plate 22 is attached to the support plate 12, the mounting plate 21 is vertically connected to the support plate 12. It can be understood that when the mounting member 20 is mounted on the base 10, the mounting plate 21 is in the horizontal plane. Optionally, the sensor is mounted above the mounting plate 21 or suspended below the mounting plate 21. By adjusting the position of the mounting plate 21 in the vertical direction along the first direction, the height of the sensor is further adjusted.
[0035] To fix the sensor and prevent it from rotating, at least two mounting holes 212 are provided on the mounting plate 21. The mounting holes 212 are used to fix the sensor.
[0036] Further, the mounting holes 212 are oblong holes arranged along the second direction, so that the position of the sensor can be adjusted in the second direction. Specifically, the second direction is perpendicular to the connecting plate 22. It can be understood that the sensor is mounted on the mounting plate 21 by screws passing through the mounting holes 212. When the position of the sensor needs to be adjusted, loosen the screws, and then slide the sensor along the mounting holes 212; when the position adjustment of the sensor is completed, tighten the screws to fix the sensor. That is to say, by setting the mounting holes 212 as oblong holes, the position of the sensor can be adjusted along the direction perpendicular to the support plate 12.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing member 40 is a bolt and a nut. To prevent the fixing member 40 from abutting against the sensor when the sensor is suspended on the mounting plate 21, the mounting holes 212 are arranged on the side of the mounting plate 21 away from the connecting plate 22.
[0038] In this embodiment, to adjust the height of the sensor, the first adjustment hole 121 is an oblong hole arranged along the first direction. The second adjustment holes 221 are at least two round holes arranged at intervals. It can be understood that when the second adjustment holes 221 cooperate with the first adjustment hole 121, at least two points are fixed to prevent the mounting member 20 from rotating. Specifically, in this embodiment, the central connection line direction of the second adjustment holes 221 is located at the central position of the mounting member 20, so that when the mounting member 20 is mounted on the fixing plate 11, the mounting member 20 is located in the middle of the support plate 12.
[0039] Further, scales (not shown in the figure) are marked on the support plate 12 along the first direction, which are used to display the height of the mounting plate 21, so as to display the height of the sensor, facilitating adjustment. Specifically, the scales are arranged on the side of the first adjustment hole 121. Furthermore, the setting standard of the scales can be the distance from the scales to the fixing plate 11.
[0040] Optionally, in other embodiments, the first adjustment holes 121 are a plurality of round holes arranged along the first direction. The second adjustment holes 221 are at least two round holes arranged at intervals. The interval distance between the first adjustment holes 121 is the same as the interval distance between the second adjustment holes 221. It can be understood that when the mounting member 20 needs to adjust its height position, the fixing member 40 needs to be loosened, the mounting member 20 is removed from the support plate 12, and the second adjustment holes 221 are aligned with the first adjustment holes 121 at other positions, and the mounting member 20 is fixed by the fixing member 40. At this time, different sensor mounting heights can be selected according to the positions of the first adjustment holes 121.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first adjustment holes 121 are located at one end of the support plate 12 away from the fixing plate 11. That is to say, the sensor can be adjusted downward from one end of the support plate 12 away from the fixing plate 11 to ensure that the sensor has the maximum height adjustment.
[0042] Further, at least two fixing holes 111 are formed in the fixing plate 11. The fixing holes 111 are used to fix the base 10 and connect the base 10 with other components. For example, in this embodiment, the fixing holes 111 are used to fix the base 10 on the fruit and vegetable sorting machine. The fixing holes 111 are kidney-shaped holes arranged along the third direction, so that the position of the base 10 can be adjusted in the third direction. In this embodiment, the third direction is perpendicular to the support plate 12. That is to say, when the mounting member 20 is fixed on the base 10, the third direction is the same as the second direction. The position of the sensor can be directly adjusted through the mounting holes 212 and can also be indirectly adjusted through the fixing holes 111.
[0043] In this embodiment, due to the use of a wired sensor connection, in order to restrain the signal line of the sensor, the base 10 further includes a wire blocking plate 30. The wire blocking plate 30 is arranged on both sides of the support plate 12. The wire blocking plate 30 is arranged along the first direction.
[0044] Specifically, the wire blocking plate 30 is perpendicularly arranged to the support plate 12. When the sensor is installed on the mounting member 20, the connecting wire on the sensor droops and is restrained within the space between the two wire blocking plates 30 by the wire blocking plate 30.
[0045] Further, in order to fix the signal line of the sensor, the wire blocking plate 30 is also provided with wire tying holes 31 arranged at intervals along the first direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is the vertical direction. When the sensor is installed on the mounting member 20, the signal line can naturally droop along the vertical direction. At this time, the signal line can be bundled and fixed on the wire blocking plate 30 by passing a cable tie through the wire tying holes 31.
[0046] Optionally, in other embodiments, the signal line can be fixed by a buckle or a wire tie. Specifically, the buckle or wire tie is fixed to the wire blocking plate 30 along the first direction. The buckle or wire tie binds and fixes the signal line.
[0047] This embodiment also provides a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, which includes the above-mentioned sensor bracket 100. The sensor bracket 100 is installed on the fruit and vegetable sorting machine through the base 10, and is used to cooperate with fruit cups of different heights on the fruit and vegetable sorting machine to detect fruits and vegetables through sensors.
[0048] The beneficial effects of the sensor bracket 100 for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention are:
[0049] The sensor bracket 100 includes a base 10 and a mounting member 20. The base 10 includes a fixing plate 11 and a support plate 12. The fixing plate 11 is connected to one end of the support plate 12 and is used to fix the support plate 12. A first adjustment hole 121 arranged along a first direction is provided on the support plate 12. The mounting member 20 includes a mounting plate 21 and a connecting plate 22. The mounting plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 are fixedly connected. The mounting plate 21 is used to fix the sensor. A second adjustment hole 221 is provided on the connecting plate 22. The second adjustment hole 221 is used to cooperate with the first adjustment hole 121 so that the connecting plate 22 is installed on the support plate 12 through the fixing member 40, and the position of the connecting plate 22 along the first direction on the support plate 12 is adjustable. The present invention divides the sensor bracket 100 into a base 10 and a mounting member 20, fixes the base 10 on the fruit and vegetable sorting machine, and slides the mounting member 20 with the base 10. The mounting member 20 is used to install the sensor, thereby enabling the sensor to slide on the base 10, adjusting the sensor height, and accurately detecting the fruit cup.
[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
