[0014] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Referring to Figures (1-4), a navel orange size sorting mechanism includes a feed hopper 1 and a sorting channel 2, wherein the sorting channel 2 is an inclined tubular structure, and one end of the sorting channel 2 located at a higher point is connected to the bottom of the feed hopper 1, and a plurality of slots are provided at the bottom of the sorting channel 2, and a plurality of support rods 22 are provided in parallel on the slots, and the spacing between the support rods 22 on each slot increases from high to low. A support groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the sorting channel 2 and below the slot, and a movable frame 3 is slidably provided on the support groove 21, and a plurality of movable plates 31 are provided on the movable frame 3, and the spacing between the movable plates 31 is the same as the spacing between the support rods 22 above them, and the width of the movable plate 31 is smaller than the width of the support rod 22 above them.

[0016] The support rod 22 is topped with several bumps 23, each of which has an upwardly protruding curved top. The movable plate 31 is topped with several chutes 32, each containing a spring and a movable block 33. One end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the chutes 32, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the movable block 33. The movable block 33 slides within the chutes 32, and its top is arc-shaped. A telescopic mechanism 34 is mounted on the outside of the sorting channel 2, and its telescopic end is connected to the movable frame 3.

[0017] When the device is in use, navel oranges are poured into the feed hopper 1 and slide into the sorting channel 2 from the feed hopper 1. Smaller navel oranges leave the sorting channel 2 from the gaps between the support rods 22. A collection box is placed under each slot to collect the fallen navel oranges. In order to prevent the navel oranges from getting stuck between the support rods 22, the telescopic machine is controlled to drive the movable frame 3 to move along the support groove 21. The movable plate 31 moves to the bottom of the gap between the support rods 22. The movable block 33 loses the restriction of the upper support rod 22 and moves upward under the action of the spring, lifting the navel oranges stuck in the gap between the support rods.

[0018] The orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0020] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
