As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an apple grading and packaging device includes a feeding plate 1. A grading component and a packaging support plate 8 are fixedly connected to one end of the feeding plate 1. A side packaging mechanism and a sealing mechanism are fixedly connected to one side of the packaging support plate 8. The side packaging mechanism includes a side packaging frame 13, a packaging drive wheel 19, a side heating ring 20, and a side support plate 21. The side packaging frame 13 and the side support plate 21 are fixedly connected to one side of the packaging support plate 8. One end of the packaging drive wheel 19 is rotatably connected to one end of the side support plate 21. Both ends of the side heating ring 20 are fixedly connected to the side support plate 21. One end of the side heating ring 20 has multiple heating coils. One end of the packaging drive wheel 19 is slidably connected to the heating coils of the side heating ring 20.

[0031] When in use, apples are poured onto the feeding plate 1. Due to gravity, the apples will roll one by one from the opening on one side of the feeding plate 1 onto the grading component. The grading component will then send apples of different sizes into different side packaging mechanisms.

[0032] The inner side of the side packaging frame 13 has a plastic packaging film. The plastic packaging film is guided by the side packaging frame 13 into a tube shape and wraps the apple falling from above inside. When the two sides of the plastic packaging film are stuck together and pass through the two side heating rings 20, the two sides are heated and melted together to achieve side packaging. At the same time, the plastic packaging film and the apple are moved together by rotating the two packaging drive wheels 19.

[0033] The apple falls directly to the bottom sealed by the sealing mechanism, drives the plastic packaging film to move downward, and then the sealing mechanism seals and cuts the plastic packaging film above the apple, realizing the individual packaging of the apple.

[0034] The individual packaging is performed while the apple is sorted, reducing the subsequent individual plastic sealing process, enabling faster boxing, and improving production efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism includes a sliding rod 15, a cutting plate 16, a double-headed hydraulic rod 17, and a heating component 18. The sliding rod 15 and the heating component 18 are fixedly connected to the packaging support plate 8 at one end. The double-headed hydraulic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the housing of the heating component 18. Two cutting plates 16 are fixedly connected to the movable ends of the double-headed hydraulic rod 17. The other end of the cutting plate 16 is slidingly connected to the sliding rod 15. The heating component 18 is connected to one side of the cutting plate 16 through a heating wire.

[0036] The heating component 18 can heat the cutting edge of the two cutting plates 16. When the double-headed hydraulic rod 17 drives the two cutting plates 16 to contact the plastic packaging film, it can melt and splice one end of the plastic packaging film and extrude and cut it, realizing individual plastic sealing and packaging of the apple.

[0037] In this embodiment, the grading assembly includes a grading support frame 2, a grading motor 3, a drive roller 4, and a grading belt 5. The grading support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the discharging plate 1 at one end. A plurality of drive rollers 4 are rotatably connected to one end of the grading support frame 2. The grading motor 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the grading support frame 2. One side of the drive roller 4 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the grading motor 3. Two grading belts 5 are drivingly connected to one side of the drive roller 4. The grading belts 5 have a height difference at both ends, and there is an included angle between the two grading belts 5.

[0038] When the grading motor 3 works, it can simultaneously drive the grading belts 5 on both sides to move. Because there is an included angle between the two grading belts 5, the gap between the two belts will become larger, which can be used for grading apples of different sizes. Because the edges of the grading belts 5 are elastic, they will not scratch or damage the surface of the apples.

[0039] In this embodiment, the packaging support plate 8 is fixedly connected with a receiving frame 6 above. The receiving frame 6 is fixedly connected with a discharging pipe 7 at one end. The receiving frame 6 and the discharging pipe 7 are made of rubber, which can receive the falling apples and prevent damage to the apples. The discharging pipe 7 can guide the apples to fall into the plastic packaging film.

[0040] In this embodiment, the blanking pipe 7 is fixedly connected with a plurality of packaging bag supports 9 on one side, the packaging bag support 9 is fixedly connected with a packaging bag spool 10 on one end, the packaging bag spool 10 is fixedly connected with a feeding motor 11 on the power output end, the feeding motor 11 is rotatably connected to the packaging bag support 9 on one end, and the guide plate 12 is fixedly connected above the side edge packaging frame 13. The feeding motor 11 can provide the plastic packaging film downward from the rotatable packaging bag spool 10 on one end, and the guide plate 12 can guide the flatly expanded plastic packaging film into the tubular shape inside the side edge packaging frame 13.

[0041] In this embodiment, the side edge support plate 21 is fixedly connected with a heating component two 23 and a blanking motor 25 on one end, the packaging drive wheel 19 is fixedly connected with a synchronous gear 26 on one end, the plurality of synchronous gears 26 are meshed with each other, and the synchronous gear 26 on one side is fixedly connected to the power output end of the blanking motor 25. The side edge heating ring 20 can be heated by the heating component two 23, and the blanking motor 25 can drive the two packaging drive wheels 19 to rotate to move the plastic packaging film downward.

[0042] In this embodiment: when in use, the apples are placed on the blanking plate 1, and the apples will roll from the side hole of the blanking plate 1 to the grading assembly due to gravity, and the apples of different sizes are sent into different side edge packaging mechanisms through the grading assembly;

[0043] The plastic packaging film is inside the side edge packaging frame 13, and the plastic packaging film is guided by the side edge packaging frame 13 to be tubular and wrap the apples falling from above inside. When the two sides of the plastic packaging film are pasted together and pass through the two side edge heating rings 20, the two sides are heated and fused together to realize the packaging of the side edges. At the same time, the plastic packaging film and the apples are moved together through the rotation of the two packaging drive wheels 19;

[0044] The apples directly fall to the bottom sealed by the sealing mechanism due to gravity, drive the plastic packaging film to move downward, and then the sealing mechanism seals and cuts the plastic packaging film above the apples to realize the individual packaging of the apples;

[0045] The apples are sorted and packaged at the same time, reducing the subsequent individual plastic sealing process, which can pack faster and improve the production efficiency;

[0046] The two cutting blades of the two cutting plates 16 can be heated by the heating component one 18. When the two cutting plates 16 are contacted with the plastic packaging film by the double-headed hydraulic rod 17, one end of the plastic packaging film can be fused and spliced, and extruded and cut off, realizing the individual plastic sealing and packaging of the apples;

[0047] When the screening motor 3 works, the two screening belts 5 on both sides can be driven to move simultaneously, and because there is an included angle between the two screening belts 5, the gap between the two belts will become larger, so that it can be used for screening apples of different sizes, and because the edges of the screening belts 5 are elastic, the surface of the apples will not be damaged;

[0048] The receiving frame 6 and the discharging pipeline 7 can receive the falling apples while preventing the apples from being damaged, and the discharging pipeline 7 can guide the apples to fall into the plastic packaging film;

[0049] The feeding motor 11 can rotate the packaging bag spool 10 from one end to provide the plastic packaging film downward, and the guide plate 12 can guide the flat and unfolded packaging film into the tubular structure on the inner side of the side edge packaging frame 13.
