Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit packaging technology, specifically an apple sorting and packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increase in fruit exports, it has become urgent to determine a fast, effective, and efficient sorting and packaging method. Currently, the packaging and sorting of easily damaged items like apples is still done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not conducive to accurate sorting. Moreover, the sorting results are often less than ideal due to the inherent error of human intervention. Most importantly, manual efficiency is low; compared to automated machines, the efficiency and effectiveness of manual operations cannot be strictly guaranteed. Therefore, we propose an apple sorting and packaging machine to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An apple sorting and packaging machine includes a carrying platform. The top surface of the carrying platform has multiple first discharge holes, second discharge holes, and third discharge holes. A perimeter is fixedly connected around the carrying platform. A control component is located on one side of the carrying platform. The control component includes a fixed roller, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the carrying platform. A fixed ring is sleeved on the surface of the fixed roller. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed ring. Brushes are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and the bottom of the brushes contacts and slides with the carrying platform. An assembly ring is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate away from the fixed ring. Multiple evenly distributed toothed grooves are formed on the outer ring wall of the assembly ring. A double-ended motor is located on one side of the carrying platform. One end of the double-ended motor is fixedly connected to a drive gear, which meshes with the assembly ring through the toothed grooves. A turntable is fixedly connected to the other end of the double-ended motor, and multiple top seats are fixedly connected to the top of the turntable.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of first discharge holes, second discharge holes and third discharge holes are evenly distributed around the axis of the receiving platform.

[0007] Preferably, the enclosure has a feeding window on the side near the first discharge hole, and a baffle is provided between the feeding window and the third discharge hole, with the bottom of the baffle fixedly connected to the support platform.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed roller coincides with the axis of the support platform, and the inner ring wall of the fixed ring is rotatably connected to the fixed roller.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the assembly ring contacts the enclosure, and the assembly ring is rotatably connected to the enclosure.

[0010] Preferably, one side of the turntable extends to the bottom of the support platform, and a plurality of top seats are evenly distributed around the axis of the turntable, with the top of each top seat slidably connected to the support platform.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the first discharge hole is smaller than that of the second discharge hole and smaller than that of the third discharge hole.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing seat is fitted onto the surface of the dual-end motor, and one end of the fixing seat is fixedly connected to an external fixing frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this utility model, the support platform is one of the core components. The top surface is evenly distributed with multiple first discharge holes, second discharge holes and third discharge holes of different diameters. The surrounding enclosure ensures that apples will not fall out of the working area during the sorting process. The feeding window facilitates the entry of apples, while the baffle effectively separates the feeding area from the third discharge hole, preventing apples from falling directly from the large hole.

[0015] The control unit plays a crucial role throughout the sorting process. It is based on a fixed roller with a rotatable fixed ring fitted onto it. This fixed ring connects the brush and the assembly ring via a connecting plate. One end of a dual-end motor drives a drive gear that meshes with the toothed grooves on the outer ring wall of the assembly ring, causing the assembly ring to rotate. This causes the brush to slide on the support platform, propelling the apples forward. The other end of the dual-end motor drives a turntable to rotate. Evenly distributed top seats on the turntable slide against the support platform, periodically lifting and lowering it to create vibration, which helps the apples tumble more effectively on the platform.

[0016] During operation, after the apples enter the carrying platform through the feeding window, they move more smoothly under the combined action of the brushing and the vibration of the carrying platform. Because the discharge holes are of different sizes, smaller apples fall through the first discharge hole, medium-sized ones through the second, and the largest through the third, achieving sorting from small to large. This sorting method has significant advantages over traditional manual sorting or simple mechanical sorting. It greatly improves sorting speed, while also being compact, space-saving, and easy to install and use. Furthermore, it offers high sorting accuracy, effectively reducing sorting errors, and its high degree of automation reduces human intervention, lowers labor costs, and ensures the stability and consistency of sorting.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example: Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an apple sorting and packaging machine, including a support platform 1. The top surface of the support platform 1 has multiple first discharge holes 101, second discharge holes 102 and third discharge holes 103. The multiple first discharge holes 101, second discharge holes 102 and third discharge holes 103 are evenly distributed around the axis of the support platform. A barrier 104 is fixedly connected around the support platform 1. A feeding window 105 is opened on the side of the barrier 104 near the first discharge hole 101. A baffle 106 is provided between the feeding window 105 and the third discharge hole 103. The bottom of the baffle 106 is fixedly connected to the support platform 1. The diameter of the first discharge hole 101 is smaller than that of the second discharge hole 102 and smaller than that of the third discharge hole 103. Apples enter the support platform 1 through the feeding window 105. The baffle 106 separates the feeding area from the third discharge hole 103 to prevent apples from falling directly from the larger hole. At this time, the apple is located on the support platform 1, and the surrounding barriers 104 of the support platform 1 serve to prevent the apple from falling out of the working area.

[0025] Furthermore, a control component 2 is provided on one side of the support platform 1. The control component 2 includes a fixed roller 201, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the support platform 1, and the axis of the fixed roller 201 coincides with that of the support platform 1. A fixed ring 202 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed roller 201, and the inner ring wall of the fixed ring 202 is rotatably connected to the fixed roller 201. A connecting plate 203 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed ring 202, and a bristle 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 203. The bottom of the bristle 204 contacts and slides with the support platform 1. An assembly ring 205 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 203 away from the fixed ring 202. The bottom of the assembly ring 205 contacts the enclosure 104, and the assembly ring 205 is rotatably connected to the enclosure 104. The outer ring wall of the assembly ring 205 has multiple evenly distributed toothed grooves 206. A double-ended motor 207 is provided on one side of the support platform 1. One end of the double-ended motor 207 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 208. The drive gear 208 is meshed with the assembly ring 205 through a tooth groove 206. The other end of the double-ended motor 207 is fixedly connected to a turntable 209. One side of the turntable 209 extends to the bottom of the support platform 1. Multiple top seats 210 are fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 209. The multiple top seats 210 are evenly distributed around the axis of the turntable 209. The top of the top seats 210 is slidably connected to the support platform 1. A fixed seat 211 is sleeved on the surface of the double-ended motor 207. One end of the fixed seat 211 is fixedly connected to an external fixed frame. One end of the double-ended motor 207 drives the drive gear 208 to rotate. The drive gear 208 meshes with the tooth groove 206 on the outer ring wall of the assembly ring 205, thereby driving the assembly ring 205 to rotate. Since the assembly ring 205 is connected to the fixed ring 202 through the connecting plate 203, and the fixed ring 202 can rotate on the fixed roller 201, while the bristle 204 at the bottom of the connecting plate 203 contacts and slides with the support platform 1, the rotation of the bristle 204 will push the apple to move on the support platform 1.

[0026] The other end of the dual-end motor 207 drives the turntable 209 to rotate. Multiple top seats 210 on the turntable 209 are evenly distributed around its axis. As the turntable 209 rotates, the top of each top seat 210 slides against the support platform 1, periodically lifting and lowering it to create a vibration effect. This vibration helps the apples move and tumble better on the support platform 1, allowing them to pass more smoothly through the discharge holes of different diameters. Since the diameter of the first discharge hole 101 is smaller than that of the second discharge hole 102 and the third discharge hole 103, with the push and vibration of the brush 204, smaller apples fall through the first discharge hole 101 first, medium-sized apples through the second discharge hole 102, and the largest apples through the third discharge hole 103, thus achieving apple sorting from smallest to largest.

[0027] Working Principle: When using this device, apples enter the support platform 1 through the feeding window 105. The baffle 106 separates the feeding area from the third discharge hole 103, preventing the apples from falling directly from the large hole. At this time, the apples are located on the support platform 1. The surrounding barriers 104 of the support platform 1 prevent the apples from falling out of the working area. One end of the double-ended motor 207 drives the drive gear 208 to rotate. The drive gear 208 meshes with the toothed grooves 206 on the outer ring wall of the assembly ring 205, causing the assembly ring 205 to rotate. Since the assembly ring 205 is connected to the fixed ring 202 through the connecting plate 203, and the fixed ring 202 can rotate on the fixed roller 201, while the bristles 204 at the bottom of the connecting plate 203 slide in contact with the support platform 1, the rotation of the bristles 204 will push the apples to move on the support platform 1. The other end of the double-ended motor 207 drives the turntable 209 to rotate. Multiple top seats 210 on the turntable 209 are evenly distributed around the axis of the turntable 209. As the turntable 209 rotates, the top of the top seat 210 slides and connects to the support platform 1, periodically lifting and lowering the support platform 1 to create a vibration effect. This vibration helps the apples move and tumble better on the support platform 1, allowing them to pass more smoothly through the discharge holes of different diameters. Since the diameter of the first discharge hole 101 is smaller than that of the second discharge hole 102 and the third discharge hole 103, with the push and vibration of the brush 204, smaller apples will fall through the first discharge hole 101 first, medium-sized apples through the second discharge hole 102, and the largest apples through the third discharge hole 103, thus achieving the classification of apples from smallest to largest.

[0028] By combining the pushing action of the brush 204 and the vibration of the top seat 210 in the control component 2, apples can be quickly moved and tumbled on the carrier platform 1, greatly improving the sorting speed. Compared with traditional manual sorting or simple mechanical sorting, it is more efficient. The carrier platform 1 achieves the sorting function by reasonably opening discharge holes. The control component 2 is set around the carrier platform 1, and the dual-end motor 207 simultaneously realizes the rotation of the brush 204 and the vibration of the carrier platform 1, reducing the equipment's footprint and making it easy to install and use. By using discharge holes of different diameters for sorting, and with the assistance of the brush 204 and vibration, apples can be separated more accurately according to size, reducing sorting errors and improving sorting quality. The entire sorting process reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and also improves the stability and consistency of sorting.

[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
