DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a sorting machine support structure 100, which includes a transportation mechanism 10, a sorting mechanism 20 and a support mechanism 30.

[0035] A fixed bracket 11 is provided below the transport mechanism 10. The fixed bracket 11 is used to securely mount the transport mechanism 10 on the platform. Specifically, the transport mechanism 10 is mounted on the ground via the fixed bracket 11. The transport mechanism 10 is capable of moving items in a first direction. Side panels 12 are provided on the sides of the transport mechanism 10. In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 10 is used to move fruits and vegetables in the first direction. The side panels 12 are used to prevent the fruits and vegetables from falling. It will be understood that the side panels 12 are higher than the transport surface of the transport mechanism 10.

[0036] The sorting mechanism 20 is provided with a plurality of sorting channels 21. The sorting channels 21 are provided above the transport mechanism 10. The sorting channels 21 are used to sort the items on the transport mechanism 10. It is understood that after the items are sorted, they are transported separately through the sorting channels 21.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, an adjustable bracket 23 is provided below the sorting mechanism 20. The adjustable bracket 23 can adjust the height of the sorting mechanism 20. A telescopic foot is provided below the adjustable bracket 23. By extending and retracting the telescopic foot relative to the adjustable bracket 23, the height of the sorting mechanism 20 above the adjustable bracket 23 can be adjusted. Furthermore, the sorting channel 21 in this embodiment is a belt conveyor. Multiple belt conveyors are arranged side by side to form multiple sorting channels 21.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transport direction of the sorting channel 21 is perpendicular to the transport direction of the transport mechanism 10. Specifically, the sorting mechanism 20 extends from one side of the transport mechanism 10 and is disposed above the transport mechanism 10.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 Since the sorting mechanism 20 is arranged above the transport mechanism 10, there is a gap between the sorting mechanism 20 and the transport mechanism 10. When the belt conveyor main frame of the sorting mechanism 20 is too long, the sorting mechanism 20 is prone to drooping and deformation. Therefore, the utility model is provided with a support mechanism 30 to support the sorting mechanism 20. Specifically, the support mechanism 30 includes a fixing portion 32 and a supporting portion 31. The fixing portion 32 and the supporting portion 31 are fixedly connected. The fixing portion 32 is fixed to the side plate 12. The supporting portion 31 is used to support the sorting mechanism 20. It can be understood that the fixing portion 32 is fixed at a certain height on the side plate 12, so that the supporting portion 31 can just abut the sorting mechanism 20 to support the sorting mechanism 20.

[0040] Specifically, the support portion 31 is provided with through holes spaced apart along the length of the sorting channel 21. These through holes are used to secure the support portion 31 to the sorting mechanism 20. It is understood that threaded holes are provided below the sorting channel 21. When the support portion 31 is brought into contact with the sorting channel 21, screws passing through the through holes can secure the support portion 31 to the sorting channel 21.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 Furthermore, partitions 22 are provided on both sides of the sorting channel 21. The bottoms of the partitions 22 are secured to the support portion 31 via through holes. It is understood that a conveyor belt is provided between the partitions 22 on both sides. Threaded holes are provided below the partitions 22 to secure the partitions 22 to the support portion 31.

[0042] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the cantilever end of the sorting mechanism 20 is extended by the support mechanism 30, and the end of the support mechanism 30 away from the sorting mechanism 20 is fixed to the side plate 12 of the transport mechanism 10, so that the cantilever end of the sorting mechanism 20 is indirectly overlapped on the side plate 12 of the transport mechanism 10, thereby supporting both ends of the sorting mechanism 20 and preventing the cantilever of the sorting mechanism 20 from being too long and deformed.

[0043] Specifically, a fixing hole 121 is formed in the side panel 12 at the end of the transport mechanism 10 away from the sorting mechanism 20. The fixing hole 121 is fixedly connected to the fixing portion 32. In this embodiment, the fixing hole 121 is a through hole. By passing the fixing portion 32 through the fixing hole 121, the support mechanism 30 is fixed to the side panel 12.

[0044] Optionally, in other embodiments, the fixing hole 121 may also be configured as a slot, and the support mechanism 30 may be fixed to the side panel 12 by snapping the fixing portion 32 into the slot.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support mechanism 30 is in the shape of a square tube. The fixing portion 32 and the support portion 31 are arranged along the extension direction of the square tube. In other embodiments, the support mechanism 30 may also be in the shape of an "L"-shaped plate, with the fixing portion 32 perpendicularly connected to the support portion 31, and the fixing portion 32 secured to the side plate 12 via bolts. As long as the support mechanism 30 is securely connected to the side plate 12 and can support the sorting mechanism 20, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the support mechanism 30.

[0046] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism 20 is provided with a first sorting channel 211, a second sorting channel 212, a third sorting channel 213, a fourth sorting channel 214, and a fifth sorting channel 215, sequentially arranged along the first direction. The lengths of the first sorting channel 211, the second sorting channel 212, the third sorting channel 213, the fourth sorting channel 214, and the fifth sorting channel 215 increase in sequence. It is understood that by setting the sorting channels 21 to different lengths, the sorting channels 21 have a specific gradient of sorting openings above the transport mechanism 10, thereby facilitating the sorting of different fruits and vegetables.

[0047] Furthermore, the support mechanism 30 is disposed below the fifth sorting channel 215. As will be appreciated, the fifth sorting channel 215 is the longest and most likely to fall and deform. Therefore, the support mechanism 30 is disposed below the fifth sorting channel 215. The support force of the support mechanism 30 can be transmitted sequentially through the fifth sorting channel 215, the fourth sorting channel 214, the third sorting channel 213, the second sorting channel 212, and the first sorting channel 211. This ensures better support without obstructing the transport mechanism 10 below the sorting mechanism 20.

[0048] Specifically, the support mechanism 30 is disposed below the partition 22 of the fifth sorting channel 215 away from the first sorting channel 211. When fruits and vegetables are transported from the transport mechanism 10 below, the support mechanism 30 can also block the fruits and vegetables to prevent them from falling.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 5In order to prevent the support mechanism 30 from contacting the transport mechanism 10 and thus affecting the operation of the transport mechanism 10, in this embodiment, the thickness of the support portion 31 is smaller than the distance between the sorting mechanism 20 and the transport mechanism 10. It can be understood that the upper portion of the support portion 31 abuts against the lower surface of the sorting mechanism 20. Through the above-mentioned configuration, a gap can be created between the lower surface of the support portion 31 and the transport mechanism 10.

[0050] The distance between the upper surface of the support portion 31 and the upper surface of the transport mechanism 10 is 17-23 mm. In this embodiment, this distance can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the sorting mechanism 20. Preferably, the distance between the lower surface of the sorting mechanism 20 and the upper surface of the transport mechanism 10 is 20 mm to ensure better sorting performance of the sorting mechanism 20.

[0051] The beneficial effects of the sorting machine support structure 100 provided by the present invention are:

[0052] The support structure 100 of the sorting machine includes a transport mechanism 10, a sorting mechanism 20 and a support mechanism 30. The transport mechanism 10 can drive the items to move along the first direction. A side panel 12 is provided on the side of the transport mechanism 10. A plurality of sorting channels 21 are provided on the sorting mechanism 20. The sorting channel 21 is provided above the transport mechanism 10. The sorting channel 21 is used to sort the items on the transport mechanism 10. The support mechanism 30 includes a fixing part 32 and a support part 31. The fixing part 32 and the support part 31 are fixedly connected. The fixing part 32 is fixed on the side panel 12. The support part 31 is used to support the sorting mechanism 20. The utility model supports the sorting mechanism 20 located above by providing a support mechanism 30 between the transport mechanism 10 and the sorting mechanism 20, thereby avoiding deformation of the sorting channel 21 caused by the cantilever being too long, thereby extending the service life of the product.

[0053] 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.
