Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food sorting, specifically a highly efficient automated food sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Food sorting is a crucial step in food processing and logistics. It requires meticulous and stringent standards. In terms of appearance, fruits must be accurately graded according to color and size to ensure that they meet the standards for ripeness and appearance. Baked goods must not be broken or deformed. In terms of internal quality, it is necessary to check for spoilage and off-odors, and to distinguish products that are close to their expiration date. Safety is also critical, and metal detectors and X-ray scans are used to prevent foreign objects from entering. Hygiene requirements are also strict, with equipment regularly cleaned and disinfected to prevent contamination by microorganisms and impurities, ensuring that the food entering the market is compliant and of high quality in all aspects.

[0003] With the development of technology, automated food sorting has emerged. It works through sensors, vision recognition systems and control systems. Sensors can detect the weight, shape and other characteristics of food, vision recognition systems can accurately determine the category and appearance quality of food, and control systems use this information to direct sorting execution mechanisms, such as robotic arms or conveyor belts, to quickly and accurately classify food into different areas.

[0004] Because the food sorting device comes into direct contact with food during operation, food residue can easily adhere to the surface of the conveyor belt. If it is not cleaned, the food will stick tightly to the conveyor belt after a long period of use, making it difficult to clean. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a highly efficient automated food sorting device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency automated food sorting device, comprising a device body, a water collection tank installed on the outer wall of the device body, a first support rod installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank, a nozzle installed on the outer wall of the first support rod, a second support rod installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank, a fixed shaft slidably installed on the outer wall of the second support rod, a limit block installed at the end of the fixed shaft, limit teeth installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, a spring installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, a rotating shaft installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, a fixed block installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a scraper slidably installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a fixing groove formed on the outer wall of the scraper.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, cleaning water is sprayed evenly in a fan shape from the nozzle to spray the surface of the conveyor belt, softening the stains on the surface of the conveyor belt. The water collection tank can collect the sprayed wastewater, avoiding the trouble of secondary cleaning. The softened stains and water stains on the surface of the conveyor belt are scraped off by a scraper, improving the cleaning effect, reducing the manual operation process, and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, two sets of first support rods are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank, and multiple sets of nozzles are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the first support rods through water supply pipes, and the nozzles are designed to be inclined.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a reliable point of application for the nozzle is provided, and it is ensured that the surface of the conveyor belt can be sprayed evenly in the width direction, avoiding spray blind spots.

[0010] Furthermore, two sets of second support rods are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank, and the length of the second support rods is greater than that of the first support rods.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the second support rod can be installed at a higher position behind the nozzle to effectively avoid mutual interference between different functional components, so that the cleaning work can be carried out in sequence.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple sets of limiting teeth are installed at equal angles on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, and a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting teeth is opened on the inner wall of the rotating shaft.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting teeth and the limiting groove opened on the inner wall of the rotating shaft cooperate with each other to achieve precise positioning, ensuring that the scraper will not rotate randomly during the process of scraping the dirt on the conveyor belt, and can always maintain the optimal working angle, thereby ensuring the stability of the cleaning effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the fixed shaft is provided with a spring, and the spring connects the limiting block and the rotating shaft.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the spring facilitates the operation and reset of the fixed shaft, reduces the steps of manual adjustment, and after the scraper is replaced, the spring will automatically reset it, so that the device can quickly return to the normal locked state for convenient use next time.

[0016] Furthermore, two sets of scrapers are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and multiple sets of fixing grooves are equally spaced on the outer wall of the scrapers, and the ends of the scrapers are in close contact with the outer wall of the conveyor belt.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sets of scrapers can be rotated and used alternately, so that the scraper can be replaced without stopping the machine. The fixing groove can ensure that the scraper is installed firmly and avoid loosening or displacement during high-speed operation and strong scraping.

[0018] Furthermore, multiple sets of fixing blocks are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and the fixing blocks correspond to the fixing grooves.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is beneficial to achieve precise installation of the scraper. The cooperation between the fixing block and the fixing groove provides a stable connection, effectively preventing the scraper from shaking or falling off during operation.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0021] This invention features a water collection tank, a first support rod, and a nozzle. During operation, cleaning water is sprayed evenly in a fan shape from the nozzle onto the conveyor belt surface, softening the dirt. The water collection tank collects the sprayed wastewater, avoiding the hassle of secondary cleaning. A second support rod, a rotating shaft, a fixing block, a scraper, and a fixing groove are included to fix the scraper. The scraper effectively removes the softened dirt and water stains from the conveyor belt surface, improving cleaning efficiency, reducing manual operation, and increasing cleaning efficiency. The fixing shaft, limit block, spring, and limit teeth allow for easy replacement of the old scraper with a new one when wear and tear affects cleaning performance after prolonged use. This replacement is done without affecting the operation of the new scraper and without stopping the machine, ensuring a high-efficiency and continuous production rhythm in the workshop.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0031] A highly efficient automated food sorting device, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the device includes a main body 1, a water collection tank 2 installed on the outer wall of the main body 1, and a first support rod 21 installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank 2. Multiple sets of nozzles 22 are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the first support rod 21 via water pipes. The nozzles 22 are designed at an angle, which helps to provide a reliable point of force for the nozzles 22 and ensures that the surface of the conveyor belt is evenly sprayed in the width direction, avoiding blind spots. A second support rod 3 is installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank 2, and the length of the second support rod 3 is greater than that of the first support rod. 21. The second support rod 3 can be equipped with a scraper 5 at a higher position behind the nozzle 22, effectively avoiding mutual interference between different functional components, allowing the cleaning work to be carried out sequentially. A fixed shaft 4 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the second support rod 3, with a limit block 41 installed at the end of the fixed shaft 4. Multiple sets of limiting teeth 43 are installed at equal angles on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 4, and a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting teeth 43 is opened on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 31. The limiting teeth 43 correspond to the limiting grooves opened on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 31. The coordinated operation enables precise positioning, ensuring that the scraper 5 does not rotate arbitrarily during the scraping of dirt from the conveyor belt, and always maintains the optimal working angle, thus guaranteeing the stability of the cleaning effect. Furthermore, a spring 42 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 4, facilitating the operation and reset of the fixed shaft 4, reducing manual adjustment steps. After replacing the scraper 5, the spring 42 automatically resets it, allowing the device to quickly return to its normal locked state for convenient use next time. A rotating shaft 31 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 4, and a fixing block 32 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 31. The scraper 5 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 31, with two sets of scrapers 5 symmetrically installed. Multiple fixing grooves 51 are evenly spaced on the outer wall of the scraper 5, and the ends of the scraper 5 are in close contact with the outer wall of the conveyor belt. The two sets of scrapers 5 can rotate and be used alternately, allowing for scraper 5 replacement without stopping the machine. The fixing grooves 51 ensure the scraper is securely installed, preventing loosening or displacement during high-speed operation and strong scraping.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2Two sets of first support rods 21 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank 2, and multiple sets of nozzles 22 are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the first support rods 21 through water supply pipes. The nozzles 22 are designed to be inclined, which helps to provide a reliable point of force for the nozzles 22 and ensures that the surface of the conveyor belt can be sprayed evenly in the width direction, avoiding the occurrence of spray blind spots.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two sets of second support rods 3 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the water collection tank 2, and the length of the second support rod 3 is greater than that of the first support rod 21. The scraper 5 can be installed at a higher position behind the nozzle 22 on the second support rod 3, which effectively avoids mutual interference between different functional components and allows the cleaning work to be carried out in sequence.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 - Figure 6 Multiple sets of limiting teeth 43 are installed at equal angles on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 4, and the inner wall of the rotating shaft 31 is provided with limiting grooves corresponding to the limiting teeth 43. The limiting teeth 43 and the limiting grooves provided on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 31 cooperate with each other to achieve precise positioning, ensuring that the scraper 5 will not rotate randomly during the process of scraping the dirt on the conveyor belt, and can always maintain the optimal working angle, thereby ensuring the stability of the cleaning effect.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 - Figure 6 The outer wall of the fixed shaft 4 is equipped with a spring 42, and the spring 42 connects the limiting block 41 and the rotating shaft 31. The presence of the spring 42 facilitates the operation and reset of the fixed shaft 4, reducing the steps of manual adjustment. After the scraper 5 is replaced, the spring 42 will automatically reset it, so that the device can quickly return to the normal locking state for convenient use next time.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 6 Two sets of scrapers 5 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 31, and multiple sets of fixing grooves 51 are equally spaced on the outer wall of the scraper 5. The ends of the scrapers 5 are in close contact with the outer wall of the conveyor belt. The two sets of scrapers 5 can rotate and be used alternately, so that the scrapers 5 can be replaced without stopping the machine. The fixing grooves 51 can make the scrapers securely installed and prevent them from loosening or shifting during high-speed operation and strong scraping.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 - Figure 6 Multiple sets of fixing blocks 32 are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 31, and the fixing blocks 32 correspond to the fixing grooves 51, which is conducive to the precise installation of the scraper 5. The cooperation between the fixing blocks 32 and the fixing grooves 51 provides a stable connection and effectively prevents the scraper 5 from shaking or falling off during operation.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the automated food sorting device starts working, the nozzle 22 starts working synchronously under the support of the first support rod 21. The first support rod 21 provides a reliable force point for the nozzle 22. The fine spray holes of the nozzle 22 are arranged in a matrix, and the high-pressure water jet is sprayed evenly in a fan shape onto the surface of the conveyor belt to soften the stains on the surface of the conveyor belt. The sprayed water is collected and stored in the water collection tank 2 to prevent water from flowing freely on the workshop floor, causing slippery conditions and bacterial growth, and to avoid the trouble of subsequent secondary cleaning. Then, the scraper 5 located behind the nozzle 22 scrapes away the softened stains and water stains on the surface of the conveyor belt, improving the cleaning effect, reducing manual operation, and improving cleaning efficiency. When the scraper 5 is used for a long time, wear occurs... When damage affects the cleaning effect, pressing the limit block 41 squeezes the spring 42, causing the fixed shaft 4 to move smoothly towards the inner wall of the rotating shaft 31. The limit teeth 43 installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 4 are offset from the limit groove opened on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 31, releasing the locking state of the rotating shaft 31. At this time, the operator can rotate the rotating shaft 31 so that the new scraper 5 located behind the old scraper 5 can be rotated to the working position to replace the old scraper 5. After the old scraper 5 is rotated to the storage area, the operator can directly slide the old scraper 5 downward to make the fixed block 32 disengage from the fixed groove 51, releasing the lock between the scraper 5 and the rotating shaft 31. The operator can quickly replace the old scraper 5 without affecting the operation of the new scraper 5, without stopping the machine, ensuring the efficient and continuous production rhythm of the workshop.
