Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of fruit sorting equipment technology, specifically a smart fruit sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Selecting large quantities of harvested fruit is a crucial step before selling the fruit. Currently, there are relatively few fruit sorting methods, and many companies still rely on manual sorting, which is extremely labor-intensive.

[0003] Traditional manual sorting methods are inefficient and cannot be graded by different sizes, weights, and ripenesses using automated machinery. Some fruits will show different colors on their skin due to different ripeness levels, and ordinary machinery cannot identify these different ripeness levels, thus failing to meet the needs of sorting work. Therefore, this utility model provides a smart fruit sorting machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a smart fruit sorting machine that can sort fruits by size and weight. It is mainly used for fruits whose ripeness can be distinguished by color, and can further sort fruits by ripeness.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A smart fruit sorting machine includes a frame, which comprises a fruit inlet device, a first fruit conveying device, a fruit size sorting device, a color scanning sorting device, and a weighing device. The color scanning sorting device is divided into a color scanning sorting device I and a color scanning sorting device II. The fruit inlet device is connected to the first fruit conveying device, and the first fruit conveying device is connected to the fruit size sorting device. Sorting boxes are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the fruit size sorting device, and the sorting boxes are connected to the color scanning sorting device I.

[0007] The color scanning sorting device I is connected to the fruit output trough on the outside. Multiple fruit output troughs are provided. The fruit output trough is supported by a second fruit conveying device below it. The second fruit conveying device is connected to a slide device. The slide device is connected to the color scanning sorting device II. The color scanning sorting device II is connected to a weighing device.

[0008] The fruit size sorting device includes a first motor, a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, and a sorting belt.

[0009] The color scanning sorting device includes a side plate, a third fruit conveying device, a sorting mechanism, and a color sensor. Multiple sorting mechanisms are configured, and the color sensor is located on the upper part of the sorting mechanism. The color sensor is communicatively connected to the sorting mechanism and is used to identify the color of the items to be sorted.

[0010] The fruit introducing device includes a circular outer shell and a rotating shaft. The inside of the circular outer shell is connected to a baffle, which is hook-shaped. The baffle and the inner wall of the circular outer shell form a fruit conveying channel, and the end of the fruit conveying channel is provided with a sloping ramp.

[0011] Multiple fixed wheels are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, respectively. The distance between the fixed wheels on the first rotating shaft is greater than the distance between the fixed wheels on the second rotating shaft. The sorting belt is sleeved on the fixed wheels at corresponding positions on the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft.

[0012] The first fruit conveying device and the second fruit conveying device each include a frame and a conveyor belt device.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a smart fruit sorting machine includes a frame 1. The frame 1 includes a fruit inlet device 2, a first fruit conveying device 3, a fruit size sorting device 4, a color scanning sorting device 5, and a weighing device 6. The color scanning sorting device 1 is divided into a color scanning sorting device I 501 and a color scanning sorting device II 502. The fruit inlet device 2 is connected to the first fruit conveying device 3, and the first fruit conveying device 3 is connected to the fruit size sorting device 4. Sorting boxes 7 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the fruit size sorting device 4. The sorting boxes 7 are connected to the color scanning sorting device I 501. The color scanning sorting device I and the color scanning sorting device II have the same structural principle but different specifications, and the two do not interfere with each other.

[0024] The outer side of the color scanning sorting device I 501 is connected to the fruit output trough 8. There are multiple fruit output troughs 8. The second fruit conveying device 9 receives the fruit output trough 8 below. The second fruit conveying device 9 is connected to the slide device 10. The slide device 10 is connected to the color scanning sorting device II 502. The color scanning sorting device II 502 is connected to the weighing device 6.

[0025] The fruit size sorting device 4 includes a first motor 41, a first rotating shaft 42, a second rotating shaft 43, and a sorting belt 44. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft 43 are respectively connected to the rotating bearing 11. The first motor 41 is connected to the first rotating shaft 42 through a shaft.

[0026] The color scanning sorting device 5 includes a side plate 51, a third fruit conveying device 52, a sorting mechanism 53, and a color sensor 54. Multiple sorting mechanisms 53 are configured, and the color sensor 54 is located on the upper part of the sorting mechanism 53. The color sensor 54 is communicatively connected to the sorting mechanism 53 and is used to identify the color of the items to be sorted.

[0027] Furthermore, the fruit introducing device 2 includes a circular outer shell 12 and a rotating shaft disk 13. The inside of the circular outer shell 12 is connected to a baffle 14, which is hook-shaped. The baffle 14 and the inner wall of the circular outer shell 12 form a fruit conveying channel 15. The end of the fruit conveying channel 15 is provided with a sloping ramp 16. The baffle is not connected to the bottom rotating shaft disk. The rotating shaft disk is connected to the motor inside the fruit introducing device to rotate the fruit and convey it. This method is a conventional technology in the prior art, and this utility model does not improve it. The rotation of the rotating shaft disk drives the fruit to rotate, gradually conveying the fruit into the fruit conveying channel. Then, the fruit slides down the sloping ramp to the first fruit conveying device for the next conveying process.

[0028] Furthermore, multiple fixed wheels 17 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft 43 respectively. The spacing between the fixed wheels 17 on the first rotating shaft 42 is greater than the spacing between the fixed wheels 17 on the second rotating shaft 43. The sorting belt 44 is fitted onto the fixed wheels 17 at corresponding positions on the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft 43. By rotating the first motor, the first rotating shaft is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed wheels to rotate, thereby causing the sorting belt to rotate and move the fruit forward. This allows the fruit to fall into different sorting boxes according to different sizes, thus achieving fruit size sorting.

[0029] Furthermore, the first fruit conveying device 3 and the second fruit conveying device 9 respectively include a frame 18 and a conveyor belt device 19, which serve to transport the fruit to the next process.

[0030] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism 53 includes a second motor 531, a gear 532, a rack 533, a slide rail 534, and a push plate 535. The sorting mechanism uses the color sensor to monitor the color of the fruit and determine the ripeness of the fruit. Then, it controls the rotation of the second motor to drive the gear to rotate, and the rack moves in the slide rail to drive the push plate to push the fruit into the outside of the sorting mechanism for the next process.

[0031] Furthermore, the weighing device 6 is an electronic weighing scale, which facilitates the weighing and measurement of the sorted fruits.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The fruit receiving device is used to receive fruit. It can store fruit inside and rotates continuously at the bottom of the rotating shaft while receiving fruit. The rotating shaft is equipped with hook-shaped baffles. The fruit is transported by rotation to the fruit conveyor channel and falls down the inclined slide to the first fruit conveyor device. The first fruit conveyor device will then convey the fruit to the fruit size sorting device, and then it will fall into the color scanning sorting device I. After sorting, the fruit will be transported by the second fruit conveyor device through the slide device into the color scanning sorting device II. After further sorting, it will finally enter the weighing device, where the subsequent packaging and collection work will be completed.
