DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In the conveying device of the related art, since the distance between the conveying device and the fruit cup rack in the vertical direction is small, the fruit cup is likely to come into contact or collide with the end of the conveying device, affecting the conveyance of fruits and vegetables.

[0031] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a fruit and vegetable conveying device and a sorting machine, which can reduce the possibility of contact with the fruit cups, thereby ensuring that the fruits and vegetables fall into the fruit cups accurately.

[0032] 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.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0036] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0038] The overall structure, working principle and technical effects of the fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 and the sorting machine provided by the present invention are described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a fruit and vegetable conveying device 10, which is used in a sorting machine to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fruit and vegetable conveying. The sorting machine includes the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 and a fruit cup.

[0040] The fruit cups are positioned below the fruit and vegetable conveyor 10, with a spacing of 18 to 20 mm. This prevents excessive impact on the fruit cups or unstable landing during fruit and vegetable conveyance. Furthermore, the sorting machine reduces the likelihood of contact between the fruit and vegetable conveyor 10 and the fruit cups, improving both accuracy and efficiency in fruit and vegetable conveyance.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 3The fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 includes a first mounting frame 100, a second mounting frame 200, and a transmission assembly 300. The first mounting frame 100 extends along the conveying direction and has a first notch 111, while the second mounting frame 200 is arranged at an angle to the first mounting frame 100 and has a second notch 211.

[0042] In the present application, the first notch 111 and the second notch 211 together constitute a conveying outlet, thereby achieving the beneficial effect of reducing the possibility of contact between the fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 and the fruit cup while ensuring the distance between the fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 and the fruit cup.

[0043] On the basis of the above, the transmission assembly 300 is connected to the first mounting frame 100 and the second mounting frame 200, and is used to transport fruits and vegetables to the delivery outlet to ensure that the fruits and vegetables fall accurately into the fruit cup from the delivery outlet, thereby improving the delivery accuracy, safety and efficiency.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that in a sorting machine or other equipment using the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable conveying device 10, the fruit cup is located below the conveying outlet. Preferably, the projection of the conveying outlet on the horizontal plane completely covers the projection of the fruit cup on the horizontal plane.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 300 includes a driving shaft 310, a driven shaft 330, and two conveyor belts 350. The driving shaft 310 is connected to the first mounting frame 100 and the second mounting frame 200 and is located at one end away from the delivery outlet; the two driven shafts 330 are connected to the first mounting frame 100 and the second mounting frame 200 respectively and are both located at the delivery outlet.

[0046] Based on this, each conveyor belt 350 is connected to the driving shaft 310 at one end and to the corresponding driven shaft 330 at the other end, extending in the conveying direction. Furthermore, because the first mounting frame 100 and the second mounting frame 200 are arranged at an angle, the two conveyor belts 350 located thereon are also arranged at an angle, forming a V-shaped conveyor belt 350 for transporting fruits and vegetables. Optionally, the conveyor belts 350 are belts, and except for the portion located at the conveyor opening, the gap between adjacent sides of the two conveyor belts 350 is 20 mm.

[0047] It is easy to understand that the driving shaft 310 is connected to the motor. Driven by the motor, the driving shaft 310, the transmission belt, and the driven shaft 330 are sequentially driven, thereby smoothly conveying the fruits and vegetables along the conveying direction to the delivery outlet. In other embodiments, the transmission assembly 300 can also be a roller conveyor assembly or a chain conveyor assembly, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0048] It should be noted that the two conveyor belts 350 move at different speeds, with one conveyor belt 350 moving at a faster speed and the other at a slower speed. Specifically, when fruits and vegetables are discontinuous, i.e., widely spaced, the two conveyor belts 350 work together to convey them forward. When fruits and vegetables are continuous, i.e., closely spaced, the speed difference causes them to roll and rotate. This allows the fruits and vegetables to be conveyed sequentially and closely together, dropping into the fruit cups.

[0049] Furthermore, considering that the driven shafts 330 are located at the delivery outlet, to avoid collision between the driven shafts 330 and the fruit cups, each driven shaft 330 is tilted away from the ground. Preferably, the driven shafts 330 can be vertically positioned. The driving shafts 310 at the other ends of the first mounting bracket 100 and the second mounting bracket 200 can be horizontally or tilted, which is not limited in this application.

[0050] Please refer again Figure 4 To reduce the impact of fruits and vegetables falling into the fruit cup, the first mounting frame 100 is provided with a first guide slope 110 that gradually increases in size along the conveying direction, and the first notch 111 is located on the first guide slope 110. Correspondingly, the second mounting frame 200 is provided with a second guide slope 210 that gradually increases in size along the conveying direction, and the second notch 211 is located on the second guide slope 210.

[0051] Based on the above, the first and second guide slopes 110, 210 are positioned opposite each other, forming a gradually expanding "eight"-shaped deceleration zone. As the fruits and vegetables move along the conveyor, the contact area between the first and second guide slopes 110, 210 gradually decreases, causing the conveyor to slow down. As a result, the parabola of the fruits and vegetables leaving the conveyor outlet slows down, allowing them to more smoothly and accurately enter the center of the fruit cup.

[0052] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to ensure a stable angle between the first and second mounting frames 100, 200 and meet design requirements, the fruit and vegetable conveyor device 10 further includes at least two guide frames 400 spaced apart along the conveying direction. These guide frames 400 are located below the first and second mounting frames 100, 200 and are used to adjust the angle between them. This allows the two conveyor belts 350 on the two mounting frames to be tensioned inwards, maintaining a constant 20 mm spacing between them and maintaining conveying stability.

[0053] Optionally, there are two guide frames 400, wherein the distance between one guide frame 400 and the driving shaft 310 in the conveying direction ranges from 180 mm to 220 mm, specifically 200 mm. Correspondingly, the distance between the other guide frame 400 and the driven shaft 330 in the conveying direction also ranges from 180 mm to 220 mm, specifically 200 mm.

[0054] Furthermore, the guide frame 400 includes a mounting base 450, a first support member 410, and a second support member 430. The first support member 410 and the second support member 430 are disposed opposite each other and are both connected at an angle to the mounting base 450. Based on the above, the first support member 410 abuts or connects with the first mounting frame 100 to adjust the tilt angle of the first mounting frame 100 accordingly, and the second support member 430 abuts or connects with the second mounting frame 200 to adjust the tilt angle of the second mounting frame 200 accordingly.

[0055] Furthermore, the first support member 410 and the second support member 430 are both connected to the mounting base via bolts, and the angles between the first support member 410 and the second support member 430 and the mounting base are adjustable. It is easy to understand that this allows for dynamic adjustment of the angle between the first mounting frame 100 and the second mounting frame 200 during transportation.

[0056] It should be noted that, based on the adjustment of the bolts, the angle between the first support member 410 and the horizontal plane ranges from 0 to 90 degrees. Correspondingly, the angle between the second support member 430 and the horizontal plane can also range from 0 to 90 degrees.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the first support member 410 is in the shape of a roller or a plate, and the second support member 430 is in the shape of a roller or a plate. If the first support member 410 and the second support member 430 are in the shape of a roller, they can roll during adjustment, reducing friction between them and the mounting frame and extending their service life. If the first support member 410 and the second support member 430 are in the shape of a plate, they can provide a larger contact area and increase support stability.

[0058] To further ensure support for the first and second mounting frames 100, 200, the fruit and vegetable conveyor device 10 also includes a plurality of rollers 500 spaced apart along the conveying direction. These rollers 500 are connected below the first and second mounting frames 100, 200, forming multiple evenly distributed support points. This effectively maintains the angle between the first and second guide frames 400, preventing deformation of the first and second mounting frames 100, 200 due to heavy loads during prolonged use. In particular, when two guide frames 400 are provided, all rollers 500 are located between the two guide frames 400.

[0059] In summary, the present invention provides a fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 and a sorting machine. The fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 includes a first mounting frame 100, a second mounting frame 200, and a transmission assembly 300. The first mounting frame 100 extends along the conveying direction and is provided with a first notch 111, while the second mounting frame 200 is arranged at an angle to the first mounting frame 100 and is provided with a second notch 211. In the present application, the first notch 111 and the second notch 211 together constitute a conveying outlet, thereby achieving the beneficial effect of reducing the possibility of contact between the fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 and the fruit cup while ensuring the spacing between the fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 and the fruit cup. Based on the above, the transmission assembly 300 is connected to the first mounting frame 100 and the second mounting frame 200, and is used to convey fruits and vegetables to the conveying outlet to ensure that the fruits and vegetables fall accurately from the conveying outlet into the fruit cup, thereby improving conveying accuracy, safety, and efficiency.

[0060] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
