[0044] After fruits and vegetables are ripe, they need to be picked in time and transported and sorted. Currently, automated equipment is usually used for sorting and transporting fruits and vegetables.
[0045] However, existing equipment is mainly composed of hard components, and the transportation of fruits and vegetables through conveyor belts, gravity, etc. can easily cause the fruits and vegetables to scrape against the equipment casing during operation. In addition, it is easy for fruits to fall from high places and cause damage to the fruits and vegetables. This not only affects the quality of fruits and vegetables, but also causes a lot of losses during transportation and sorting, resulting in unnecessary waste.
[0046] Based on the above questions, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present invention provides a fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 , including a mounting frame 100 , a driver 200 , a conveyor belt 300 , a flexible support member 400 and a buffer member 500 .
[0047] Among them, the driver 200 is set on the mounting frame 100; the conveyor belt 300 is set on the mounting frame 100, and the conveyor belt 300 is used to transport fruits and vegetables under the driving action of the driver 200; the flexible support member 400 is set on the conveyor belt 300; the buffer member 500 is set on the mounting frame 100 and is located at one end of the conveyor belt 300, and the buffer member 500 is used to receive fruits and vegetables and allow them to fall into the fruit plate.
[0048] In this embodiment, by providing a flexible support member 400 on the conveyor belt 300, the conveyor belt 300 can reduce collision and provide support for the fruits and vegetables when transporting them, thereby avoiding rigid contact between the fruits and vegetables and the conveyor belt 300; a buffer member 500 is provided at the conveying end of the conveyor belt to receive the fruits and vegetables, which can not only alleviate the collision stress generated by the fruits and vegetables moving from the conveyor belt 300 to the buffer member 500, that is, play a good buffering role, but also prevent the fruits and vegetables from falling directly into the fruit plate and causing damage.
[0049] Optionally, the flexible support member 400 may be made of, but not limited to, a sponge material. The sponge material is arranged between the upper conveyor belt 300 and the lower conveyor belt 300 to effectively play a buffering role.
[0050] It should also be noted that a plurality of protrusions are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 300 , and the plurality of protrusions are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the length direction of the conveyor belt 300 . The protrusions can prevent fruits and vegetables from rolling on the conveyor belt 300 .
[0051] Furthermore, the buffer member 500 includes a buffer plate 510, which is arranged on the mounting frame 100. A plurality of deformable bending portions 511 are arranged in the middle of the buffer plate 510. The plurality of bending portions 511 are distributed in a ring shape. The bending portions 511 are used to bend under the action of fruits and vegetables to allow the fruits and vegetables to pass through the buffer plate 510.
[0052] In this embodiment, a plurality of bending portions 511 are provided on the buffer plate 510 so that energy generated when fruits and vegetables collide with the buffer plate 510 is transferred to the bending portions 511 and released through the bending portions 511 , thereby effectively buffering the fruits and vegetables.
[0053] It can be understood that the area of the annular region where the multiple bending portions 511 are located is larger than the maximum cross-sectional area of fruits and vegetables, thereby allowing fruits and vegetables to pass through the buffer plate 510 smoothly.
[0054] Optionally, the buffer plate 510 may be supported by a rubber material, thereby further providing a buffer for the fruits and vegetables to prevent them from being damaged.
[0055] Furthermore, the buffer member 500 further includes a limiting plate 520 , a through hole 521 is provided in the middle of the limiting plate 520 , and the limiting plate 520 and the buffer plate 510 are overlapped so that the through hole 521 corresponds to the annular area of the plurality of bending portions 511 .
[0056] In this embodiment, by providing a limiting plate 520 and making the through hole 521 correspond to the annular area of the multiple bending parts 511, the movement trajectory of fruits and vegetables is limited by the through hole 521, ensuring that the fruits and vegetables pass through the annular area formed by the multiple bending parts 511.
[0057] Furthermore, the number of the buffer plates 510 is at least two, the number of the limiting plate 520 is at least one, and the limiting plate 520 is disposed between two adjacent buffer plates 510 .
[0058] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of buffer plates 510 and at least one limiting plate 520 , the buffering effect of the buffer plates 510 is further improved to prevent damage to fruits and vegetables.
[0059] Optionally, there are two buffer plates 510 , and the limiting plate 520 is disposed between the two buffer plates 510 .
[0060] It should be noted that the limiting portion and the buffer member 500 are arranged at an angle to the conveyor belt 300 .
[0061] Furthermore, the buffer member 500 further includes two brushes 530 . The two brushes 530 are disposed opposite to each other at the bottom of the buffer plate 510 . The two brushes 530 correspond to at least a portion of the annular area of the plurality of bending portions 511 .
[0062] In this embodiment, by being placed below the buffer plate 510 and the limiting plate 520, the fruits and vegetables are still in contact with the two brushes 530 after passing through the buffer plate 510 and the limiting plate 520. The brushes 530 can also play a buffering role on the fruits and vegetables, further protecting them from damage.
[0063] It can be understood that the brush 530 is also made of a flexible material.
[0064] Furthermore, the buffer member 500 further includes a guard plate 540 , which is vertically disposed on the buffer plate 510 . The guard plate 540 is used to prevent fruits and vegetables from rolling down from the buffer plate 510 .
[0065] In this embodiment, the guard plate 540 is arranged on the top of the buffer plate 510 and is surrounded by the edge of the guard plate 540. Therefore, when fruits and vegetables move from the conveyor belt 300 to the buffer plate 510, the guard plate 540 can effectively prevent the fruits and vegetables from rolling off the buffer plate 510, preventing the fruits and vegetables from falling and causing damage to the fruits and vegetables.
[0066] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 further includes guide plates 600 . The guide plates 600 are disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 300 . The guide plates 600 are used to limit the movement direction of the fruits and vegetables.
[0067] In this embodiment, the guide plates 600 are arranged on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 300, so the guide plates 600 can restrict fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt 300, ensuring that the fruits and vegetables move in the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 300 and fall accurately onto the buffer member 500.
[0068] Furthermore, the two guide plates 600 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 300 are in an inverted cone shape, that is, the distance between the two guide plates 600 gradually increases in the vertical direction away from the conveyor belt 300, that is, the two guide plates 600 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 300 are flared, thereby preventing fruits and vegetables from running off the track and enabling fruits and vegetables to accurately enter the buffer.
[0069] It should be noted that a flexible protective layer is attached to the outer side of the guide plate 600 to prevent damage to the fruits and vegetables due to collision with the guide plate 600.
[0070] It should also be noted that the guide plate 600 can be movably disposed on the conveyor belt 300, so that the distance between the two guide plates 600 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 300 can be adjusted to be suitable for large or small-sized fruits and vegetables.
[0071] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable conveying device 10 also includes a roller brush 700, which is arranged on the mounting frame 100 and is located at one end of the conveyor belt 300 away from the buffer member 500. The roller brush 700 is used to bring fruits and vegetables onto the conveyor belt 300 under the driving action of the driver 200.
[0072] In this embodiment, after the fruits and vegetables have been pre-processed, they first pass through the roller brush 700, which wraps the fruits and vegetables and gently sends them to the conveyor belt 300, thereby effectively protecting the fruits and vegetables from damage.
[0073] Furthermore, the number of the roller brush 700 , the conveyor belt 300 , the flexible support member 400 and the buffer member 500 is the same and all are multiple.
[0074] In this embodiment, multiple roller brushes 700, conveyor belts 300, flexible support members 400 and buffer members 500 are provided to form multiple groups of conveyor belts 300, so that fruits and vegetables can be transported simultaneously through multiple conveyor belts 300, which significantly improves the transportation efficiency of fruits and vegetables.
[0075] Optionally, the number of the roller brush 700 , the conveyor belt 300 , the flexible support member 400 and the buffer member 500 is three.
[0076] In summary, the present invention provides a fruit and vegetable conveying device 10. By arranging a flexible support member 400 on the conveyor belt 300, the conveyor belt 300 can reduce collision and provide support for the fruits and vegetables when conveying the fruits and vegetables, thereby avoiding rigid contact between the fruits and vegetables and the conveyor belt 300; a buffer member 500 is arranged at the conveying end of the conveyor belt to receive the fruits and vegetables, which can not only alleviate the collision stress generated by the fruits and vegetables moving from the conveyor belt 300 to the buffer member 500, that is, play a good buffering role, but also prevent the fruits and vegetables from falling directly into the fruit plate and causing damage.
