TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to fruit and vegetable sorting technical field, concretely relates to a watermelon bearing and transporting tray with clamping fixing structure. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] Watermelon is called " the king of melon ", and it is originally from Africa. It was introduced to Xinjiang in Tang Dynasty and to China in the Five Dynasties. Watermelon is cultivated in both north and south China, and China is the largest watermelon producer and consumer in the world. Before watermelon is sold, especially when it is exported, it is generally sorted to determine its quality grade.
[0003] At present, people generally use a scale to weigh by hand, and then package the watermelons according to their size and weight. However, the weight difference between the same grades is large, which increases the grading error. At the same time, manual sorting is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the sorting efficiency is low, which is not conducive to large-scale operation of enterprises.
[0004] To solve the above problems, a device for sorting watermelons is disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 202023238108.4, which includes a belt conveyor. The belt conveyor is fixedly connected with a limiting baffle at the upper end, and is detachably connected with a fruit tray.
