Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fruit packing and packaging, and in particular to a single-layer fruit loading device for picked fruits. Background Art

[0002] At present, ripe fruits are usually placed in fruit boxes after being picked, and when they are packed in boxes at a later stage, it is usually necessary to load individual fruits into pre-formed fruit slots in the fruit boxes (such as Figure 2 In order to improve the efficiency of fruit packaging, the following methods are used: Figure 1 The automatic boxing system shown dumps the fruits picked into the fruit boxes onto the conveyor rollers of the automatic boxing system. During the conveying process, the position of each fruit on the conveyor roller is obtained by identifying the fruits, and the position is fed back to the grabbing mechanism on the rear side. After grabbing a single fruit, it is placed in the fruit slot in the fruit box next to it, thereby realizing the automatic boxing operation of the fruits.

[0003] At present, the operators dump the fruits picked into the fruit frame directly onto the conveyor roller. Figure 1 The stacking state shown in the figure affects the position identification of individual fruits and is not convenient for the smooth grabbing of individual fruits in the later stage. Therefore, after manually pouring the fruits onto the conveyor roller, the fruits need to be manually layered into single layers, which increases the operation process and cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned problems, the present application aims to provide a single-layer fruit loading device for picked fruits, which solves the problem that manual dispersion of stacked fruits is currently required, resulting in increased operating procedures and packaging costs.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a device for picking fruits and loading them in a single layer, comprising a conveying roller and a fruit frame containing a plurality of fruits, characterized in that: an assembly fruit frame is provided at the end of the conveying roller, and the fruit frame is driven to gradually dump the fruits contained therein onto a driving frame on the conveying roller, and a stratified component is provided on the fruit frame to cause the fruits therein to flow out in a single layer.

[0006] Preferably, the driving frame is a frame-shaped structure covering the bottom of the fruit frame, the driving frame is hingedly connected to the conveying roller, and a driving cylinder for driving the fruit frame to flip is provided on one side of the driving frame.

[0007] Preferably, the layered component is a detachable layered plate that is assembled at the opening on the top side of the fruit frame, and a single-layer fruit outlet is reserved between the layered plate and one side of the fruit frame.

[0008] Preferably, a swinging member for driving the fruit frame to swing is connected between the driving cylinder and the fruit frame.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: the single-layer fruit loading device receives a plurality of fruit baskets by driving the frame, thereby resolving the current problem of manually lifting the fruit baskets to the top side of the conveyor roller and dumping the fruit, which is a heavy physical burden. By driving the frame to gradually drive the fruit baskets to dump the fruit inside, the current large accumulation state caused by manual direct dumping of all the fruit in the fruit baskets can be avoided. Gradual dumping can reduce the height and amount of fruit piled on the conveyor roller.

[0010] Furthermore, the stratification component can be used to realize stratification operation of the fruits during the pouring process, so that the fruits become a single-layer structure when they are poured onto the conveyor roller, which is convenient for subsequent identification and grabbing operations, and solves the problem that manual dispersion of stacked fruits is currently required, which increases the operating procedures and packaging costs.

[0022] In order to enable ordinary technicians in this field to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution of the present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Refer to the attached Figures 1 to 9 The device for picking fruits in a single layer is shown, comprising a conveyor roller 1 and a fruit frame 2 containing a plurality of fruits. The picked fruits in the fruit frame 2 are poured onto one end of the conveyor roller 1. The fruits are moved forward by the conveyor roller 1, and the fruits are sequentially identified, located, and grabbed before being placed in the fruit box. In order to solve the problem of fruit accumulation caused by pouring the fruits in the fruit frame 2 onto the conveyor roller 1, Figure 4 As shown, the single-layer fruit loading device is provided with an assembly fruit frame 2 at the end of the conveyor roller 1, and drives the fruit frame 2 to gradually dump the fruits contained therein onto the driving frame 3 on the conveyor roller 1. After the fruit frame is assembled by the driving frame 3, the fruit frame 2 containing several fruits is received, solving the current problem of manually lifting the fruit frame 2 to the top side of the conveyor roller 1 and dumping it, which is a heavy physical burden. By gradually driving the fruit frame 2 to dump the fruits therein by the driving frame 3, the current large accumulation state caused by manual direct dumping of all the fruits in the fruit frame 2 can be avoided. Gradual dumping can reduce the accumulation height and amount of fruits on the conveyor roller 1.

[0024] In order to further stratify the reduced piled fruits, Figure 8 As shown, a stratification member is provided on the fruit frame 2 to discharge the fruit therein in a single layer. This stratification member can realize a stratification operation during the pouring process, so that the fruit is poured into a single layer structure on the conveyor roller 1, which is convenient for subsequent identification and grabbing operations, and solves the problem of manual dispersion of stacked fruits, which increases the operation process and packaging costs.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 3-6 As shown, the driving frame 3 is a frame-shaped structure covering the bottom of the fruit frame 2. The driving frame 3 is hingedly connected to the conveying roller 1, and a driving cylinder 4 is provided on one side of the driving frame 3 to drive the fruit frame 2 to flip. During operation, the fruit frame 2 containing a number of fruits is placed on the driving frame 3 (preferably, there is a small assembly gap between the fruit frame 2 and the driving frame 3 to achieve assembly and tightening of the fruit frame 2, or a tightening screw is provided on the driving frame 3 to connect with the side wall of the fruit frame 2 to achieve tightening). Then the driving cylinder 4 drives the driving frame 3 as shown in FIG. Figure 6 The state shown is reversed. By controlling the extension speed of the driving cylinder 4, the fruits in the fruit frame 2 are gradually dumped onto the conveying roller 1. Further slowing down the driving speed of the driving cylinder 4 can achieve slow dumping of the fruits without causing the fruits to pile up on the conveying roller 1.

[0026] In order to avoid the problem that the poured fruits still accumulate on the conveying roller 1, Figure 7 As shown, the present application is provided with layered components, such as Figure 8 As shown, the layered component is a detachable layered plate 5 assembled at the top opening of the fruit frame 2. The layered plate 5 is preferably plugged into the top side of the fruit frame 2 or connected by screws to prevent the layered plate 5 from falling during the turning process of the fruit frame 2. In addition, a single-layer fruit outlet a is reserved on one side of the layered plate 5 and the fruit frame 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the height of the single-layer fruit outlet a is between a single layer of fruit and two layers of fruit, that is, slightly larger than the height of a single fruit. Therefore, during the flipping process of the above-mentioned fruit frame 2, the restriction is achieved through the single-layer fruit outlet a, so that a single fruit flows out from the single-layer fruit outlet a, and the conveying roller 1 is in a state of continuous movement, and then the continuously flowing single-layer fruit is continuously conveyed forward by the conveying roller 1, thereby further avoiding the problem of fruit accumulation on the conveying roller 1 and ensuring the continuous conveying of the single-layer fruit.

[0027] Since the single-layer fruit outlet a can only allow a single layer of fruit to flow out, there will be a pile-up of fruit in the inner cavity of the fruit frame 1 composed of the fruit frame 2 and the layered plate 5, which makes it impossible for the fruit to flow out smoothly. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Figure 9 As shown, a swinging member is connected between the drive cylinder 4 and the fruit frame 2 to drive the fruit frame 2 to swing. The swinging member is preferably a swinging spring 6. By setting the drive cylinder 4 to a reciprocating drive, the fruit frame 2 can swing with a buffering force due to the gravity of the fruit and the upside-down rotation of the fruit, thereby driving the fruit inside to rearrange, thereby eliminating the problem of fruit jamming, allowing the fruit to flow out continuously and smoothly, and avoiding the problem of "feed breakage" during fruit transportation.

[0028] The principle of the present application is: when the single-layer fruit loading device is used to perform the dumping and stratification operations of the fruits, the stratification plate 5 is first assembled on the fruit frame 2 and a single-layer fruit outlet a is provided. Then, the fruit frame 2 containing a number of fruits is placed on the driving frame 3. The driving cylinder 4 is then used to drive the driving frame 3 to slowly flip over. By controlling the extension speed of the driving cylinder 4, the fruits in the fruit frame 2 flow out from the single-layer fruit outlet a to the conveying roller 1, thereby realizing the automatic dumping and stratification of the fruits.

[0029] During the continuous dumping process, the driving mode of the driving cylinder 4 is set to be an up and down reciprocating drive, and then the fruit frame 2 is subjected to the gravity of the fruit and the up and down flipping action, and the swing spring makes the fruit frame 2 have a buffering swing, and then drives the fruit inside to rearrange, thereby eliminating the problem of fruit jamming, allowing the fruit to flow out continuously and smoothly, and avoiding the problem of "material breakage" during fruit transportation.

[0030] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of this application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, this application will also have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of this application.
