[0040] The specific structure of a fruit and vegetable conveyor provided by an embodiment of the utility model and the corresponding technical effects brought about by it are described in detail below with reference to the patent drawings.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1The present invention provides a fruit and vegetable conveyor 1 comprising a frame 100, a conveyor belt 200, a drive member 400, and a scraper device 300. The conveyor belt 200 is sleeved on the frame 100, and the drive member 400 is disposed on the frame 100 and is used to drive the conveyor belt 200 to move relative to the frame 100 to convey fruits and vegetables placed on the conveyor belt 200. In other words, the conveyor belt 200 can move relative to the frame 100 under the action of the drive member 400 to carry the fruits and vegetables placed on the conveyor belt 200. Since the connection between the conveyor belt 200, the drive member 400, and the frame 100 is a conventional structure of a fruit and vegetable conveyor 1, its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0042] The scraper device 300 is detachably connected to the frame 100 and is located on the lower side of the frame 100. The scraper device 300 contacts the conveyor belt 200 and is used to scrape off impurities on the conveyor belt 200 when the conveyor belt 200 is in motion. In other words, when the conveyor belt 200 is in motion, the scraper device 300 can scrape off impurities on the conveyor belt 200, that is, it can remove fruit hairs attached to the conveyor belt 200 when conveying kiwifruit. Since the scraper device 300 is located on the lower side of the frame 100, the scraper device 300 scrapes the portion of the conveyor belt 200 that is below the frame 100. The scraped impurities will fall from the conveyor belt 200, which can reduce the adhesion of impurities to the conveyor belt 200 and reduce the difficulty of cleaning the equipment.

[0043] Furthermore, since the scraper device 300 in this embodiment is detachably connected to the frame 100 , it is convenient for operators to detach and assemble the scraper device 300 .

[0044] The scraper device 300 includes a connected mounting member and a scraper 340, the mounting member is detachably connected to the frame 100, and the scraper 340 is in surface contact with the conveyor belt 200. It can be understood that since the scraper 340 is in surface contact with the conveyor belt 200, the effect of removing impurities on the conveyor belt 200 can be improved.

[0045] Optionally, the width of the scraper 340 is greater than or equal to the width of the conveyor belt 200, that is, the width of the scraper 340 is not less than the width of the conveyor belt 200. Therefore, during the transportation of the conveyor belt 200, it can be ensured that the surface of the conveyor belt 200 is covered, thereby effectively scraping off the attachments on the conveyor belt 200, helping to reduce the accumulation of attachments on the conveyor belt 200 and reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the fruit and vegetable conveyor 1.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, the scraper 340 is detachably connected to the mounting member, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the scraper 340 by the operator. For example, when the scraper 340 is damaged, only the scraper 340 can be replaced without replacing the entire scraper device 300, thereby reducing replacement costs.

[0047] The scraper 340 and the mounting piece may be snap-fitted, fixedly connected by a latch, or connected by threaded fasteners. In order to ensure the connection strength between the scraper 340 and the mounting piece, in some embodiments, the scraper 340 and the mounting piece are connected by threaded fasteners.

[0048] Optionally, the scraper 340 has a scraping surface that contacts the conveyor belt 200. The scraper 340 is made of a flexible material, such as nylon. This prevents the scraper 340 from scratching the conveyor belt 200, thereby ensuring the service life of the conveyor belt 200. The flexible material also allows for better conformity to the conveyor belt 200, ensuring that debris attached to the conveyor belt 200 is effectively scraped away. This also reduces noise during relative motion between the scraper 340 and the belt. Of course, the entire scraper 340 can also be made of nylon.

[0049] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the scraper 340 may also be made of other flexible materials, such as polyurethane, rubber or polyethylene.

[0050] The mounting member includes a mounting portion 320 and a connecting portion 310. The connecting portion 310 is detachably connected to the frame 100. The mounting portion 320 has a mounting surface. One surface of the scraper 340 is in contact with the mounting surface and is disposed on the mounting portion 320. Optionally, the mounting surface is disposed at an angle to the bottom surface of the conveyor belt 200. In other words, the scraper 340 is also disposed at an angle to the bottom surface of the conveyor belt 200. As will be understood, a suitable angle can reduce friction between the scraper 340 and the belt, thereby reducing wear and tear, and helping to extend the service life of the scraper 340 and the belt.

[0051] That is, the scraper 340 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 320. Optionally, the scraper 340 can be snap-fitted to the mounting portion 320 or connected via threaded fasteners. When the scraper 340 is connected to the mounting portion 320 via threaded fasteners, the mounting portion 320 can be provided with threaded holes, and the scraper 340 can be provided with through holes corresponding to the threaded holes. During installation, the through holes can be aligned with the threaded holes, and the threaded fasteners can be passed through the through holes and the threaded holes in sequence.

[0052] In this embodiment, there are two connecting portions 310, each disposed on either side of the mounting portion 320. The frame 100 includes two side frames 110, each located on either side of the width of the conveyor belt 200. The two connecting portions 310 are detachably connected to the two side frames 110. It will be appreciated that by connecting the two connecting portions 310 to the two side frames 110, the mounting strength of the scraper assembly 300 to the frame 100 is enhanced, allowing the scraper assembly 300 to be more stably connected to the frame 100.

[0053] It should be noted that the conveyor belt 200 and the scraper 340 are located between the two side frames 110 .

[0054] Optionally, the fruit and vegetable conveyor 1 further includes threaded fasteners (not shown). The bottom of the side frame 110 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 130 spaced apart along its length. The connecting portion 310 is provided with mating holes 330, each mating hole 330 corresponding to a mounting hole 130. The threaded fasteners can sequentially pass through the mating holes 330 and the mounting holes 130 to thread the connecting portion 310 to the side frame 110. This threaded connection ensures the connection strength between the connecting portion 310 and the side frame 110. The mounting holes 130 at the bottom of the side frame 110 are threaded holes.

[0055] Of course, in some other embodiments, the connecting portion 310 may also be plug-connected or snap-fitted with the side frame 110 .

[0056] In this embodiment, support rollers 120 are further provided at the bottom of the frame 100 to support the conveyor belt 200. It is understood that the frame 100 is provided with driving rollers and driven rollers at both ends along its length. The conveyor belt 200 is directly mounted on the driven and driving rollers. The driving member 400 drives the driving rollers, which in turn drive the conveyor belt 200. It is understood that the provision of the support rollers 120 helps maintain the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 200 and reduces overall vibration and shaking. Furthermore, the support rollers 120 help maintain the correct tension of the conveyor belt 200, preventing it from becoming excessively loose.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the fruit and vegetable conveyor 1 further includes a collecting box, which is located at the lower part of the scraper device 300 and is used to receive impurities dropped by the scraper device 300. That is, the collecting box can receive attachments on the conveyor belt 200 dropped by the scraper device 300 to prevent the attachments from scattering.

[0058] In summary, the present invention provides a fruit and vegetable conveyor 1 comprising a frame 100, a conveyor belt 200, and a scraper device 300. The conveyor belt 200 is sleeved on the frame 100 and can move relative to the frame 100 under the action of a driving member 400 to carry fruits and vegetables placed on the conveyor belt 200. The scraper device 300 is detachably connected to the frame 100 and is located on the lower side of the frame 100. The scraper device 300 contacts the conveyor belt 200 and is used to scrape impurities from the conveyor belt 200 as the conveyor belt 200 moves. In other words, when the conveyor belt 200 is in motion, the scraper device 300 can scrape off impurities from the conveyor belt 200. The scraped impurities will fall from the conveyor belt 200, thereby reducing the adhesion of impurities to the conveyor belt 200 and reducing the difficulty of cleaning the equipment.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is 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.
