[0035] As mentioned in the background section, existing fruit conveying cups have limited compatibility, making them unsuitable for different sizes of the same type of fruit, resulting in poor compatibility. To improve upon this, this application provides a fruit conveying cup 10 that is suitable for fruits of different diameters, such as apples, pears, pomegranates, peaches, and late-maturing citrus fruits, ensuring stability during fruit transport.

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the fruit conveying cup 10 provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 This is another schematic diagram of the fruit conveying cup 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 Provided for the embodiments of this utility model Figure 2 Please refer to the cross-sectional diagram along AA. Figures 1 to 3This application provides a fruit delivery cup 10, which includes an upper cover 100, an inner liner 300, and a lower shell 500. The upper cover 100 is connected to the lower shell 500, the inner liner 300 is located inside the lower shell 500, and the inner liner 300 includes a first limiting portion 310 located between the upper cover 100 and the lower shell 500. Based on the above configuration, when assembling the fruit delivery cup 10, the first limiting portion 310 of the inner liner 300 is placed inside the lower shell 500, and then the upper cover 100 is connected to the lower shell 500.

[0037] Based on the above, the inner liner 300 also includes a transition portion 330 and a first liner 350, and the first limiting portion 310 and the first liner 350 are vertically spaced apart in the transition portion 330. Therefore, it can be understood that after the fruit conveying cup 10 is assembled, the upper cover 100 and the first liner 350 are vertically spaced from top to bottom to jointly support the fruit.

[0038] Furthermore, since the top cover 100 has a first through hole 111 and the first liner 350 has a second through hole 351, and the diameter of the first through hole 111 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 351, in actual practice, when the fruit size is large, the fruit will be positioned and engaged with the first through hole 111; when the fruit size is small, the fruit will pass through the first through hole 111 and be positioned and engaged with the second through hole 351. This means that the fruit conveying cup 10 can be adapted to fruits of different diameters, ensuring the stability of the fruit during transportation.

[0039] Optionally, both the top cover 100 and the inner liner 300 are made of soft rubber through one-piece injection molding to ensure a flexible fit to the surface of the fruit, preventing damage and maintaining its integrity. Correspondingly, the bottom shell 500 is made of hard rubber through one-piece injection molding to provide good support for the top cover 100 and the inner liner 300, stably supporting and transporting the fruit. It should be noted that both hard and soft rubber are made from non-toxic and environmentally friendly materials.

[0040] In some embodiments, to facilitate the secure placement of fruit within the fruit conveying cup 10, the central axes of the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 351 are aligned on the same straight line. Based on this arrangement, when fruit is placed into the fruit conveying cup 10, the upper cover 100 and the first liner 350 deform sequentially along the vertical direction, distributing the load gradually and preventing misalignment that could cause the fruit to tilt and roll, thus affecting the stability and safety of the fruit during transport.

[0041] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the top cover 100 provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. The specific structure and positional relationship of the top cover 100 provided in this application will be described in detail below. In this embodiment, the top cover 100 includes a cover body 110 with a first through hole 111, and the cover body 110 has a plurality of first strip grooves 113 spaced apart circumferentially along the first through hole 111. The first strip grooves 113 communicate with the first through hole 111 and extend radially along the first through hole 111.

[0042] Understandably, the cover 110 is divided into multiple first blades 115 by multiple first strip-shaped grooves 113 spaced circumferentially along the first through hole 111. The end of any one first blade 115 furthest from the first through hole 111 is connected to two adjacent first blades 115, while the end closest to the first through hole 111 is the free end. Based on this, when fruit is placed on the cover 100, the free ends of the first blades 115 are pressed downwards, thus flexibly conforming to the shape of the fruit for better protection; and also overcoming the shaking of the fruit during sorting and conveying, improving the stability of the fruit in the fruit conveying cup 10.

[0043] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 To facilitate quick assembly and disassembly of the upper cover 100 and the lower shell 500, the upper cover 100 includes a connecting portion 130 and a snap-fit ​​portion 150. The two opposite sides of the connecting portion 130 are connected to the cover body 110 and the snap-fit ​​portion 150, respectively. The lower shell 500 includes a shell 510 and a locking portion 530. The locking portion 530 is connected to the outer wall of the shell 510 and engages with the snap-fit ​​portion 150. It is understood that the aforementioned snap-fit ​​design replaces adhesive fixing, ensuring a tight fixation between the upper cover 100 and the lower shell 500 while also providing easy assembly and disassembly, facilitating mutual matching and reuse.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the embodiments provided in this application, the connecting portion 130, the snap-fit ​​portion 150, and the engaging portion 530 are all annularly designed to ensure a tight fit between the upper cover 100 and the lower shell 500 in the circumferential direction. In other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 150, the connecting portion 130, and the engaging portion 530 may also be block structures equidistantly spaced along the circumferential direction, i.e., fixed by partial snap-fit. Optionally, the snap-fit ​​portion 150 and the engaging portion 530 are interference-fitted.

[0045] Please refer to it again. Figure 5The specific structure and positional relationships of the lower shell 500 will be described in detail below. In some embodiments, the outer wall of the lower shell 500 is provided with multiple collision rings 550 at intervals along the vertical direction. When applied in a real-world scenario, i.e., when multiple fruit conveying cups 10 are running and detecting on a belt, the fruit conveying cups 10 absorb the impact of back-and-forth collisions through the collision rings 550, thereby reducing the generation of collision friction heat and simultaneously increasing the dissipation of collision friction heat.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, to facilitate the simultaneous locking of the positioning liner 300 when the upper cover 100 and the lower shell 500 are locked together, a stepped surface 520 is formed between the inner wall of the engaging portion 530 and the inner wall of the shell 510, and the stepped surface 520 abuts against the first limiting portion 310. That is to say, as illustrated... Figure 1 As shown, during the assembly of the fruit conveying cup 10, the inner liner 300 is positioned on the stepped surface 520 by the first limiting part 310. Then, the buckle part 150 and the engaging part 530 cooperate, and the upper cover 100 simultaneously clamps the lower shell 500 and fixes the inner liner 300.

[0047] Additionally, it should be noted that the housing 510 includes side walls and a bottom wall that is arc-shapedly connected to the side walls. Based on this arc-shaped transition, the fruit conveyor cup 10 smoothly passes through the belt connection point or belt turning point, reducing jamming or vibration and improving operational stability. Furthermore, the side wall can be provided with a groove for attaching a QR code to facilitate the selection of the corresponding fruit in the fruit conveyor cup 10, and the bottom wall has a fourth through hole that is coaxial with the first through hole 111 to facilitate the detection of the fruit quality in the cup.

[0048] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,in, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the lining 300 provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 7 This is another schematic diagram of the liner 300 provided in this embodiment of the utility model. The specific structure and positional relationships of the liner 300 will be described in detail below. Similar to the cover 110, as... Figure 1 As shown, in designing the first liner 350, the first liner 350 can also have multiple second strip grooves 353 spaced apart circumferentially along the second through hole 351. The second strip grooves 353 communicate with the second through hole 351 and extend radially along the second through hole 351. It can be understood that the first liner 350 is also divided to form a second blade 355 with one end that can move freely, in order to adapt to the shape of the fruit pressing down, flexibly fit and limit the fruit. This will not be elaborated further here.

[0049] To further adapt to fruits of different diameters, the inner liner 300 also includes a second liner 370 located below the first liner 350 and connected to the transition portion 330. The second liner 370 has a third through-hole 371, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the second through-hole 351. It is understood that the smaller diameter of the third through-hole 371 allows it to support fruits with smaller diameters compared to the first liner 350. Furthermore, it is understood that both the first liner 350 and the second liner 370 are made of non-toxic and environmentally friendly soft rubber support. The material is flexible and can deform and adapt to the downward pressure of the fruit, flexibly conforming to the shape of the fruit, thereby achieving better protection for the fruit.

[0050] To enhance the stability of the liner 300 within the lower shell 500, the liner 300 further includes a second limiting portion 390 that is angled to the transition portion 330 and extends downward in the vertical direction. The lower shell 500 is provided with a plurality of abutting portions 540 spaced circumferentially, with the first abutting portion 540 abutting against the second limiting surface. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the first limiting part 310 of the inner lining 300 is clamped between the stepped surface 520 and the cover 110, and the second limiting part 390 is supported and abutted by the supporting part 540, thereby achieving fixation at both ends in the vertical direction and simultaneously ensuring the deformation capacity of the first lining 350 and the second lining 370. Optionally, the number of supporting parts 540 can be eleven, which are equally spaced on the inner wall of the lower cover.

[0051] Taking this embodiment as an example, the working principle and workflow of the fruit conveying cup 10 provided in this application are as follows:

[0052] The inner liner 300 is placed inside the lower shell 500, with the first limiting part 310 of the inner liner 300 positioned on the stepped surface 520 and the second limiting part 390 positioned on the supporting part 540, thus achieving upper and lower limiting and simultaneously ensuring that the second through hole 351 and the third through hole 371 are coaxially arranged with the fourth through hole. Then, the snap-fit ​​part 150 of the upper cover 100 and the engaging part 530 of the lower shell 500 are press-fitted together to secure the upper cover 100, the inner liner 300, and the lower shell 500.

[0053] When the fruit is large, it can be positioned and engaged with the first through hole 111, and the first blade 115 flexibly fits against the fruit; when the fruit is of medium size, it will pass through the first through hole 111 and be positioned and engaged with the second through hole 351, and the second blade 355 flexibly fits against the fruit; when the fruit is small, it will pass through the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 351 in sequence and be positioned and engaged with the third through hole 371.

[0054] In summary, this application provides a fruit conveying cup 10, which includes an upper cover 100, an inner liner 300, and a lower shell 500. The inner liner 300 includes a first limiting part 310, a transition part 330, and a first lining layer 350. The first limiting part 310 and the first lining layer 350 are vertically spaced apart at the transition part 330. Therefore, it can be understood that after the fruit conveying cup 10 is assembled, the upper cover 100 and the first lining layer 350 are vertically spaced from top to bottom to jointly support the fruit. Furthermore, since the upper cover 100 has a first through hole 111 and the first lining layer 350 has a second through hole 351, and the diameter of the first through hole 111 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 351, they can be adapted to fruits of different diameters, thus achieving compatibility between the fruit conveying cup 10 and fruits of different diameters and ensuring the stability of the fruit during transportation.

[0055] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
