It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0018] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0019] Examples, such as Figs. 1-4As shown, a fruit rotary weighing machine includes a weighing machine body, which includes a support frame 1 to ensure the stability of the equipment components.

A driving motor 4 is provided at one side corner of the support frame 1, and a driving gear 41 is provided at the output end of the driving motor 4, which is meshed with the rotating gear 3. A rotating frame 5 is provided above the rotating gear 3. The specific description is: the mounting frame 81 is connected to the support frame 1 by bolts, and the rotating gear 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 5, and the rotating frame 5 and the mounting frame 81 can rotate relative to each other. In this way, the driving gear 41 receives the driving power of the driving motor 4 and transmits it to the rotating gear 3, so that the rotating frame 5 can rotate relative to the mounting frame 81. The movable frame 5 can rotate in the horizontal direction relative to the mounting seat 2 along with the rotating gear 3, which provides convenience for driving the weighing area 6 to rotate; a weighing area 6 is set on the outside of the rotating frame 5, and a plurality of weighing areas 6 are set up and evenly distributed on the rotating frame 5. A weighing module is set up in a single weighing area 6, and it carries the material. When the rotating frame 5 rotates to carry out the acceptance of multiple materials, the weighing area 6 will also rotate, so that the material can be statically weighed in a relatively static manner, which greatly guarantees the weighing accuracy; in order to realize the convenient transportation of materials, a feeding elevator 7 with a Z-shaped design is provided on one side of the support frame 1, wherein a fruit tray is placed on the feeding elevator 7, and the cross-section of the fruit tray is designed in an I-shape, with the large size located at the top to carry the fruit, and the two sides The concave part on the side brings convenience to its conveying, guiding and unloading process. Furthermore, the working principle of the feeding elevator 7 is the same as the working principle of the conveyor belt in the prior art. The difference is that the conveying workpiece of the feeding elevator 7 adopted in this embodiment is a plastic mesh belt chain plate. At the same time, blocks are set at intervals in the plastic mesh belt chain plate, that is, in the inclined section of the feeding elevator 7, the fruit tray will slide down to a certain extent and be blocked by the blocks, which to a certain extent realizes the interval arrangement between multiple materials, providing convenient conditions for subsequent convenient feeding. A dial guide mechanism 8 is set on one side of the output end of the feeding elevator 7, which can guide the conveyed materials one by one, especially move them to the weighing area 6, and then statically weigh them under the action of the weighing area 6. The weighing of materials is completed by weighing, which fully guarantees the weighing accuracy and improves the work process; a feeding mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the support frame 1, and the feeding mechanism 9 includes a stand 91, and a feeding assembly is provided on one side of the stand 91 above the weighing area 6, which can guide the weighed materials so that they are transported to the turning conveyor 10 and transported to the next processing step, thereby ensuring the effective progress of production and processing work and meeting the use requirements; an L-shaped turning conveyor 10 is provided on the stand 91, and a limit rod 101 is provided on the upper outer side of the turning conveyor 10. The turning conveyor 10 can guide the workpiece discharged by the feeding to the subsequent processing step, and the limit rod 101 is used to prevent the fruit tray and materials from falling;

[0020] In the above process: through the provided loading elevator 7, it can transport the material to be weighed from bottom to top, and adjust the interval between the positions of two adjacent materials, which provides convenience for subsequent loading. The dial guide mechanism 8 is used to guide the transported materials one by one, especially move them to the weighing area 6, and then, under the action of the weighing area 6, complete the weighing of the materials in a static weighing manner, fully ensuring the weighing accuracy and improving the work progress. The unloading mechanism 9 is used to guide the materials that have completed the weighing, so that they are transported to the turning conveyor 10 and transported to the next processing step, ensuring the effective progress of production and processing work and meeting the use requirements. The device has a reasonable design, simple structure, and convenient processing, and can make fruit materials convenient to load, ensure the consistency of the loading spacing, thereby realizing convenient weighing of fruit materials to ensure the accuracy of weighing and improve the work progress. At the same time, it can make materials be fed downward in multiple ways, and improve the process of unloading and loading, improve the functionality of the device and equipment, and effectively meet the use requirements.

[0021] In order to achieve the weighing of fruit materials and improve the accuracy of weighing to a certain extent, the weighing area 6 includes a shell 61 with a concave fan-shaped design, and is connected to the outer periphery of the rotating frame 5. A weighing module 62 is arranged in the shell 61, wherein the weighing module 62 can select the series products of the model Siwarex MS in the existing technology, and can freely select suitable products according to different weighing ranges. In addition, the weighing module 62 can also be linked with the PLC control system in the existing technology to realize the recording and temporary storage of the weight information of the weighed material, which brings convenience to other processing procedures. A loading plate 63 is arranged above the weighing module 62, and a protective plate 64 is arranged above the shell 61. A process hole corresponding to the loading plate 63 is opened in the protective plate 64. Of course, the diameter of the process hole is larger than the diameter of the loading plate 63. A guide plate arranged in an inclined shape is arranged on one side above the protective plate 64. Specifically, the shell 61 is set in a semi-enclosed shape and is trapezoidal when viewed from above. The multiple shells 61 are arranged adjacent to each other and surround the outer side of the rotating frame 5 so that they can rotate with the rotating frame 5. When the fruit tray carrying the fruit is guided to the weighing area 6 by the dial guide mechanism 8, especially when it falls on the top of the carrier 63, the weighing module can weigh the material. Since the single weighing area 6 rotates at a uniform speed with the rotating frame 5, the material is also in a relatively static state between the carrier 63 and the weighing module 62. This is a static weighing of the material to a certain extent, and the weighing information is transmitted to the external control system for recording. This method especially improves the weighing accuracy and provides a prerequisite for subsequent material sorting.

[0022] In order to guide the material on the feeding elevator 7 to the rotary weighing machine to complete the weighing operation, the dial material guiding mechanism 8 comprises a mounting frame 81, a motor 82 is arranged on the mounting frame 81, the output end of the motor 82 is provided with a dial plate 83 designed in the shape of a windmill, the other side above the output end of the feeding elevator 7 is provided with a guide plate 84 designed in the shape of L, the upper side of the guide plate 84 is provided with a limiting plate 85 designed in the shape of L, the limiting plate 85 is used in cooperation with the guide plate 84, and the action is to limit the running direction of the incoming fruit basket, so as to guarantee the accuracy of the moving direction, the corners of the dial plate 83, the guide plate 84 and the limiting plate 85 are all designed in the shape of arc, and the specific description is that the motor 82 provides driving power for the dial plate 83, so that it can rotate in the horizontal direction, when the fruit basket loaded with fruits moves to the horizontal section above the feeding elevator 7, the notch (i.e. the corner) of the dial plate 83 will rotate to the lower side of the fruit basket and provide driving power for it, and when the fruit basket changes from the inclined state to the horizontal state, due to the establishment of the guide plate 84, at the above state transition node, the fruit basket continues to advance, and the groove thereof corresponds to the guide plate 84, with the operation of the feeding elevator 7 and the power input of the dial plate 83, the fruit basket and the fruits will move along the arc-shaped end face of the guide plate 84, and move to the loading disc 63 of the weighing area 6, the fruit basket will rotate with the rotating frame 5 and be weighed, the dial plate 83 will continue to rotate to provide driving power for the subsequent fruit basket, so as to guarantee the effective operation of the feeding work, the dial material guiding mechanism 8 can guide the material to be weighed to the weighing area 6 one by one, the feeding process is more convenient, and the accuracy of the weighing is guaranteed to a certain extent.

[0023] In order to ensure that the fruit tray loaded with fruits can be smoothly unloaded after weighing, especially to improve the smoothness of its unloading, the unloading assembly includes a stabilizing frame 92 connected to the vertical frame 91, and a mounting rod 93 is provided on one side of the stabilizing frame 92. A mounting plate 94 is provided below the mounting rod 93, and a unloading plate 95 is provided below the mounting plate 94. The end face of the unloading plate 95 close to the turning conveyor 10 is designed in an arc shape. The specific description is: when the fruit tray loaded with fruits enters the weighing area 6 for weighing, and then rotates with the rotating frame 5, when the fruit tray moves to a position close to the unloading assembly, it is affected by the establishment of the fruit tray itself, and its bottom first rotates the top of the unloading plate 95, and continues to rotate, and then the arc shape of the end face of the unloading plate 95 Under the setting, the moving direction of the fruit tray is limited, that is, it moves along the curved surface until it is guided onto the subsequent turning conveyor 10. Considering the accuracy of the fruit tray being guided out, the limit rod 101 is set on its outside. Its function is to block the fruit tray guided out by the unloading component to prevent it from falling. In this way, the fruit tray and fruit introduced into the turning conveyor 10 will be transported backward by the turning conveyor 10 to ensure the smooth progress of the next processing step. In addition, according to different unloading directions, the unloading mechanism 9 can be rotated to different setting positions with the vertical center line of the geometric center of the rotating frame 5 as the axis to ensure the diversity of unloading directions and meet different production and processing needs.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
