DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the technical scheme of the utility model, the specific implementation mode is explained in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0013] As Figures 1-4The portable fruit screening device for blueberry fresh fruit includes a feeding bin 1, a fruit collecting box 2, and a screening mechanism 4. The bottom of the feeding bin 1 is connected to the fruit collecting box 2, and the screening mechanism 4 is arranged between the two. The screening mechanism 4 includes an outer screen pipe 5, an inner screen pipe 6, a screen 7, a guide plate 9, and a partition plate 10. The outer screen pipe 5 and the inner screen pipe 6 are arranged in concentric circles, and the top of the inner screen pipe 6 is lower than the top of the outer screen pipe 5. The screen 7 and the guide plate 9 are arranged in a spiral shape from top to bottom in the space between the outer screen pipe 5 and the inner screen pipe 6, and the guide plate 9 is parallel to the screen 7 below. The screen 7 is arranged from the upper end to the lower end to several screen hole areas 8 of different sizes, and each screen hole area 8 of the screen 7 is provided with a screen hole. The partition plate 10 is arranged at the end of the screen 7, and the partition plate 10 is arranged at the end of each screen hole area 8 on the guide plate 9. A guide port 11 is opened on the inner screen pipe 6 at each partition plate 10. The bottom of the outer screen pipe 5 and / or the inner screen pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the fruit collecting box 2. The fruit collecting box 2 is provided with fruit collecting bins 3 corresponding to the number of screen hole areas 8. Each fruit collecting bin 3 is connected to one guide port 11 through a guide pipe 12, and the two are integrally formed. Each guide pipe 12 penetrates into the inner screen pipe 6 to connect the guide port 11, and the top of the guide pipe 12 is sealed. The sidewall of the guide pipe 12 is provided with a notch corresponding to the guide port 11. The fruit enters the guide pipe 12 through the notch, and the discharging port 13 is arranged at the bottom of each fruit collecting bin 3 to take out the screened fruit. The partition plate 10 prevents different sizes of fruits from mixing together on the guide plate 9. When the fruit screened from the screen hole area 8 rolls to the partition plate 10 along the guide plate 9, it is guided to be discharged from the guide port 11 to the fruit collecting bin 3.
[0014] The height between the screen 7 and the guide plate 9 is not less than 3 cm, and the width of the screen 7 and the guide plate 9 is not less than 5 cm.
[0015] The bottom surface of the feeding bin 1 is arranged in an inclined shape, that is, the longitudinal section is in a right-angled trapezoidal structure. An opening is arranged at the lowest part of the bottom surface of the feeding bin 1 to communicate with the top of the screen 7, so that the fruit can smoothly fall from the feeding bin 1 to the screen 7 and roll down the screen 7 for screening.
[0016] The screen 7 and the guide plate 9 surround the inner screen pipe 6 at least once and a half. The diameter of the inner screen pipe 6 is not less than 10 cm, which ensures that the screen hole area 8 on the screen 7 has sufficient distance, so that the fruit rolling on the screen hole area 8 of the screen 7 can fall from the corresponding screen hole area 8 to realize screening.
[0017] The included angle β between the screen 7, the guide plate 9, and the inner screen pipe 6 is an acute angle, so that the fruit will not be blocked during rolling, and the fruit collected at the partition plate 10 can be quickly discharged from the guide port 11 to the guide pipe 12.
[0018] At least three size specifications of sieve hole areas 8 are arranged in sequence from the upper end to the lower end of the screen 7, the aperture of the sieve hole area 8 is arranged according to the large, medium and small fruit diameter specifications of the fruit, the sieve hole of one sieve hole area 8 corresponds to one fruit diameter specification, and the sieve hole diameter of the sieve hole area 8 at the upper part of the screen 7 is smaller than the sieve hole diameter of the sieve hole area 8 connected below.
[0019] The inner wall of the outer screen pipe 5 is provided with a spiral limiting convex line 14 corresponding to the screen 7 and the guide plate 9, and the outer wall of the inner screen pipe 6 is provided with a spiral limiting convex line 14 corresponding to the screen 7 and the guide plate 9, and the limiting convex line 14 supports the screen 7 and the guide plate 9.
[0020] The working mode of the utility model is as follows: during picking blueberry fruits, a net bag or a belt is used outside the fruit collecting box 2, the worker carries the device on the body through the net bag or the belt, and the picked blueberry fruits are put into the feeding bin 1. Generally, 3-8 blueberry fruits can be picked at a time when picking manually, so that there is basically no blocking problem when the blueberry fruits are put into the device for screening. The blueberry fruits enter the screen 7 from the opening at the lowest part of the feeding bin 1, and the blueberry fruits roll along the screen 7 under the action of gravity, the smallest fruit diameter falls into the guide plate 9 from the first sieve hole area 8, and the second smallest fruit diameter falls into the guide plate 9 from the second sieve hole area 8. The screening is carried out according to the principle that small fruits fall first and large fruits fall later. When the blueberry fruits of various diameters fall to the guide plate 9 below the sieve hole area 8, they are collected at the partition plate 10 and enter the guide pipe 12 from the guide opening 11, and then fall into the fruit collecting bin 3. When the blueberry fruits are collected to a certain amount, the unloading opening 13 is opened, and the screened blueberry fruits can be taken out.
[0021] On the other hand, in order to ensure the continuity of picking and screening, the unloading openings 13 of all the fruit collecting bins 3 are kept open during the whole screening process when a large amount of fruits are picked and screened, and each unloading opening 13 is connected with a bag. The unloading openings 13 continuously discharge into the large-capacity bag, solving the defect of limited capacity of the fruit collecting bin 3 when a large amount of fruits are collected and screened.
