Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit processing, specifically to a fruit processing and grading device. Background Technology

[0002] Grading allows fruits to be classified according to standards such as quality, size, and color, making their appearance and internal quality more consistent and thus increasing their commercial value. Grading also helps to better match market demand and reduce surplus and waste. Graded fruits are easier to process, package, store, transport, and sell, improving the overall efficiency of the supply chain.

[0003] There are various grading rods in the existing technology. The most cost-effective grading device is made by using a pair of support rods. The distance between the pair of support rods gradually increases, and the support rods are set in an inclined state. The fruit rolls on the inclined support rods. When the diameter of the fruit is smaller than the distance between the corresponding parts of the pair of support rods, the fruit will fall downwards to achieve the purpose of grading. However, the inclination angle of the pair of support rods and the distance between them are fixed, which is only suitable for screening and grading one type of fruit and has low practicality. Therefore, it is necessary to design a fruit processing and grading device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitation that existing fruit grading and screening equipment can only screen a single type of fruit.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a fruit processing and grading device, comprising: a pair of support units spaced apart and two support rods spaced apart and having a circular cross-section. Each support unit includes a pair of support foot mechanisms spaced apart horizontally and with adjustable height, a pair of folding mechanisms respectively mounted on the top of the support foot mechanisms, and an adjustment mechanism mounted on the pair of folding mechanisms for adjusting the distance between the ends of the pair of support rods. The two moving ends of the adjustment mechanism are respectively connected to the two ends of the pair of support rods through a steering connection mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the steering connection mechanism includes a connecting block connected to the corresponding moving end of the adjustment mechanism via a first hinge bolt whose length direction is parallel to the moving direction of the moving end of the adjustment mechanism, and a second hinge bolt whose length direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the first hinge bolt. The second hinge bolt passes through the end of the corresponding support rod and is connected to the connecting block. The length direction of the second hinge bolt is perpendicular to the length direction of the corresponding support rod.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a pair of mounting seats respectively connected to the corresponding folding mechanism, at least one guide rod with both ends fixedly connected to the corresponding mounting seats, a double-ended threaded rod parallel to the guide rod and with both ends axially connected to the corresponding mounting seats, a handwheel fixedly sleeved on one end of the double-ended threaded rod, and a pair of sliders spaced apart and slidably sleeved on the guide rod and threadedly sleeved on both ends of the double-ended threaded rod, wherein the sliders are connected to the corresponding rotational connection mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the support foot mechanism includes a strip-shaped connecting sleeve with one end connected to the folding mechanism and a connecting arm that slides into the connecting arm in the same length direction. The connecting sleeve has a first strip-shaped through groove in the same length direction. The connecting arm is threadedly connected with at least one mounting bolt that passes through the first strip-shaped through groove and whose head can abut against the outer wall of the connecting sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the connecting arm away from the connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to a strip-shaped connecting member whose length direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting arm. The center of the strip-shaped connecting member is fixedly connected to the connecting arm. Both ends of the strip-shaped connecting member are connected to extension arms through horizontal third hinge bolts. The extension arms are provided with positioning grooves. The end of the strip-shaped connecting member is threadedly connected to two locking bolts that are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the corresponding third hinge bolts and match the positioning grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the connecting sleeve away from the connecting arm has a protruding hinge portion. The folding mechanism includes a fourth hinge bolt hinged to the hinge portion and parallel to the moving direction of the moving end of the adjusting mechanism in length direction, and an adjusting arm connected to the adjusting mechanism. A second strip-shaped through groove in the same length direction is provided through the adjusting arm. The fourth hinge bolt passes through the second strip-shaped through groove. The end of the adjusting arm away from the adjusting mechanism is an arc end coaxial with the end of the second strip-shaped through groove.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the fruit processing and grading equipment provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects during use:

[0012] Firstly, the adjustment mechanism allows for adjustment of the distance between the ends of a pair of support rods, enabling more practical adjustments based on screening needs and fruit varieties, thus enhancing its usability.

[0013] Secondly, the height of the support foot mechanism can be adjusted. Not only can the overall height of the pair of support rods be adjusted according to the user's height and comfort, but the height difference between the two ends of the support rods can also be adjusted to increase the rolling speed of the fruit on the pair of support rods.

[0014] Third, when folding is required, the distance between the two support rods is shortened to the minimum by adjusting the mechanism, and the height of the support foot mechanism is shortened to the minimum. Finally, the support foot mechanism is brought into contact with the support rod by the folding mechanism. The folded equipment is small in size and easy to transport.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a fruit processing and grading device includes: a pair of support units spaced apart and two support rods 1 spaced apart and having a circular cross-section. Each support unit includes a pair of support foot mechanisms 2 spaced apart horizontally and with adjustable height, a pair of folding mechanisms 3 respectively mounted on the top of the support foot mechanisms 2, and an adjustment mechanism 4 mounted on the pair of folding mechanisms 3 for adjusting the distance between the ends of the pair of support rods 1. The two moving ends of the adjustment mechanism 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the pair of support rods 1 through a steering connection mechanism 5.

[0027] The distance between the ends of the pair of support rods 1 can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 4, which can be adjusted according to actual screening needs and fruit varieties, making it highly practical; the height of the support foot mechanism 2 can be adjusted, which can not only adjust the overall height of the pair of support rods 1 according to the user's height and comfort, but also adjust the height difference between the two ends of the support rods 1 to increase the rolling speed of the fruit on the pair of support rods 1.

[0028] When folding is required, the distance between the two support rods 1 is shortened to the minimum by adjusting mechanism 4, and the height of support foot mechanism 2 is shortened to the minimum. Finally, the support foot mechanism 2 is brought into contact with the support rod 1 by folding mechanism 3. The folded equipment is small in size and easy to transport.

[0029] The steering connection mechanism 5 includes a connecting block 7 connected to the corresponding moving end of the adjustment mechanism 4 via a first hinge bolt 6 whose length direction is parallel to the moving direction of the moving end of the adjustment mechanism 4, and a second hinge bolt 8 whose length direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the first hinge bolt 6. The second hinge bolt 8 passes through the end of the corresponding support rod 1 and is connected to the connecting block 7. The length direction of the second hinge bolt 8 is perpendicular to the length direction of the corresponding support rod 1.

[0030] When the adjustment mechanism 4 is activated, the distance between the ends of a pair of support rods 1 changes, and the support rods 1 will rotate around the second hinge bolt 8; when the height of the support foot mechanism 2 changes, the connecting block 7 will rotate around the first hinge bolt 6.

[0031] The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a pair of mounting seats 9 respectively connected to the corresponding folding mechanism 3, at least one guide rod 10 with both ends fixedly connected to the corresponding mounting seat 9, a double-ended threaded rod 11 parallel to the guide rod 10 and with both ends axially connected to the corresponding mounting seat 9, a handwheel 12 fixedly sleeved on one end of the double-ended threaded rod 11, and a pair of sliders 13 spaced apart and slidably sleeved on the guide rod 10 and threadedly sleeved on both ends of the double-ended threaded rod 11. The sliders 13 are connected to the corresponding rotational connection mechanism.

[0032] Rotating the handwheel 12 drives the double-ended threaded rod 11 to rotate, which in turn drives a pair of sliders 13 to slide in opposite directions on the guide rod 10, thereby adjusting the distance between the ends of a pair of support rods 1.

[0033] The support foot mechanism 2 includes a strip-shaped connecting sleeve 14 connected to the folding mechanism 3 at one end and a connecting arm 15 that slides into the connecting arm 15 in the same length direction. The connecting sleeve 14 is provided with a first strip-shaped through groove 16 in the same length direction. The connecting arm 15 is threadedly connected with at least one mounting bolt 17 that passes through the first strip-shaped through groove 16 and whose head can abut against the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 14.

[0034] When the height of the support foot mechanism 2 needs to be adjusted, loosen the mounting bolt 17, and the connecting arm 15 can slide on the connecting sleeve 14, thereby adjusting the overall length of the connecting arm 15 and the connecting sleeve 14. Then tighten the mounting bolt 17 so that its head is tightly against the connecting sleeve 14.

[0035] The end of the connecting arm 15 away from the connecting sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to a strip-shaped connector 18 whose length direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting arm 15. The center of the strip-shaped connector 18 is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 15. Both ends of the strip-shaped connector 18 are connected to extension arms 20 through horizontal third hinge bolts 19. The extension arms 20 are provided with positioning grooves. The end of the strip-shaped connector 18 is threadedly connected to two locking bolts 21 that are spaced along the circumferential direction of the corresponding third hinge bolts 19 and match the positioning grooves.

[0036] The extension arm 20 improves the stability of the device when placed on the ground. When in use, loosen the corresponding locking bolt 21 so that the extension arm 20 can rotate around the third hinge bolt 19. Rotate the extension arm 20 until it is parallel to the strip connector 18, and then rotate the corresponding locking bolt 21 so that its end is inserted into the positioning groove. When storing, loosen the corresponding locking bolt 21, rotate the extension arm 20 so that it is parallel to the connecting arm 15, and then rotate the corresponding locking bolt 21 so that its end is inserted into the positioning groove to fix the extension arm 20.

[0037] The end of the connecting sleeve 14 away from the connecting arm 15 has a protruding hinge portion 22. The folding mechanism 3 includes a fourth hinge bolt 23 that is hinged to the hinge portion 22 and whose length direction is parallel to the moving direction of the moving end of the adjusting mechanism 4, and an adjusting arm 24 connected to the adjusting mechanism 4. A second strip-shaped through groove 25 of the same length direction is provided through the adjusting arm 24. The fourth hinge bolt 23 passes through the second strip-shaped through groove 25. The end of the adjusting arm 24 away from the adjusting mechanism 4 is an arc end that is coaxial with the end of the second strip-shaped through groove 25.

[0038] When folding is required, pull the adjusting arm 24 away from the connecting sleeve 14. The end of the first strip groove 16 away from the mounting seat 9 moves to the fourth hinge bolt 23. Move the adjusting arm 24 out from the end of the connecting sleeve 14. At this time, the adjusting arm 24 can be rotated around the fourth hinge bolt 23 so that the connecting sleeve 14 and the connecting arm 15 fit against the support rod 1.

[0039] When it needs to be unfolded for use, rotate the adjusting arm 24 around the fourth hinge bolt 23, and then insert the end of the adjusting arm 24 away from the mounting base 9 into the end of the connecting sleeve 14. At this time, the adjusting arm 24 can no longer rotate.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0042] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
