Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit feeding devices, specifically a fruit buffer feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Before the fruit is sorted, specialized fruit feeding equipment is needed to perform the initial transfer of the fruit. The fruit feeding device is responsible for efficiently and evenly transferring the harvested fruit from storage containers or transport vehicles to the sorting line. During this process, the feeding equipment must ensure that the fruit is handled gently to minimize possible abrasions and other forms of damage to the fruit surface and ensure that the fruit quality is not affected.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN111318464B, "A Fruit Sorting and Feeding Device", includes a first mounting frame with a trapezoidal feeding channel, a material box, a feeding roller shaft and a feeding belt, and also includes a push plate, a first recycling frame, a receiving box, a second recycling frame, a discharge port, a first spring, a vertical plate and a return roller. The material box corresponding to the feeding channel is installed on one side of the first mounting frame, and the feeding roller shafts are arranged in a triangular distribution inside the first mounting frame.

[0004] However, when fruit is fed into the feeding device from the opening of the feeding box, the fruit will directly hit the bottom of the feeding box. This collision may not only damage the appearance of the fruit and reduce its market appeal, but may also cause internal damage to the fruit, reduce its shelf life, and thus threaten the overall quality of the product. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the airbag is made of elastic material and is equipped with a one-way valve.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the buffer plate is provided with several water guide grooves, and the end of the buffer plate away from the airbag is provided with a water outlet one that communicates with several water guide grooves. The support plate is provided with a water outlet two that corresponds to the water outlet one. The bottom of the support plate is locked with a water collection tank by a locking mechanism. The water collection tank is located directly below the water outlet two. The water outlet one, the water outlet two and the water collection tank are located on the same vertical line.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating chassis includes a base and a rotating motor. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the base. A base plate is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft, and a driven gear is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating shaft. A transmission gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotating motor, and the transmission gear drives the driven gear to rotate through a transmission chain.

[0011] Furthermore, the base is symmetrically provided with brackets, the brackets are provided with downwardly extending mounting rods, the lower end of the mounting rods is provided with guide vanes, the guide vanes are located above the base plate, and a drying lamp for drying fruit is fixedly installed on the brackets.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes two fixed blocks fixedly installed on the lower surface of the chassis. The fixed blocks are provided with through holes, and locking blocks are slidably installed on the inner wall of the through holes. Positioning rods are provided at both ends of the locking blocks. Positioning holes for the insertion of the positioning rods are provided on both sides of the through holes. Springs are sleeved on the positioning rods.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention features a buffer plate rotatably mounted on the inner wall of a tray. One end of the buffer plate has a movable rod, and movable holes are opened on both sides of the tray. The two ends of the movable rod are slidably connected to the inner walls of the movable holes. An airbag is located between the buffer plate and the tray. By setting up the buffer plate, the washed fruit is poured onto the buffer plate. The buffer plate rotates under pressure and squeezes the airbag. The airbag deforms under pressure, effectively offsetting the impact energy of the fruit and thus protecting the fruit from collision damage.

[0017] By providing several water guide channels on the upper surface of the buffer plate, and an outlet 1 connected to the water guide channels at the end of the buffer plate away from the airbag, and an outlet 2 corresponding to outlet 1 on the support plate, a water collection tank is locked and installed at the bottom of the support plate by a locking mechanism. The water collection tank is located directly below outlet 2. After washing, some water droplets usually remain on the surface of the fruit. When the fruit is put into the buffer plate, due to the slight rebound effect, the water droplets on the surface of the fruit will be shaken off. The shaken-off water droplets will then flow into the water guide channels and smoothly enter the water collection tank along the water guide channels, outlet 1 and outlet 2, thus achieving effective collection of water droplets remaining on the surface of the fruit, thereby reducing water waste.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-6 ;

[0028] A fruit cushioning and feeding device includes a tray 1, a cushioning plate 2 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the tray 1, a movable rod 21 at one end of the cushioning plate 2, and movable holes 11 on both side walls of the tray 1. The two ends of the movable rod 21 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the movable holes 11. An airbag 3 is located between the cushioning plate 2 and the tray 1. By setting up the cushioning plate 2, washed fruit is poured onto it. The cushioning plate 2 rotates under pressure, compressing the airbag 3. The airbag 3 deforms under pressure, effectively offsetting the impact energy of the fruit and protecting it from damage. The tray 1 has a rotating base 4 on the side away from the airbag 3. The fruit rolls from the buffer plate 2 onto the rotating base 4. The rotation of the rotating base 4 causes the fruit to roll on its surface. A clamping plate 5 is provided above the rotating base 4 to prevent the rolling fruit from falling off the rotating base 4. A fruit discharge channel 6 is formed between the clamping plate 5 and the rotating base 4. The rotating base 4 has a discharge port 7 on the side away from the tray 1 that corresponds to the fruit discharge channel 6. As the rotating base 4 rotates, the fruit will gradually roll into the fruit discharge channel 6 and finally be discharged smoothly through the discharge port 7.

[0029] In this embodiment, the airbag 3 is made of elastic material and is equipped with a one-way valve. When the fruit falls on the buffer plate 2 and pressure is applied, the airbag 3 is deformed by the pressure, and the internal air is gradually discharged through the one-way valve, thereby reducing the rebound effect of the fruit, reducing the risk of secondary impact, and improving the protection effect of the fruit. In order to ensure that the number of fruits on the rotating chassis 4 is appropriate and to avoid blocking the fruit discharge channel 6, the feeding of fruit will stop after a certain period of time. During this process, negative pressure will be generated inside the airbag 3, which will automatically attract external air to refill through the one-way valve, ready to welcome the next round of fruit feeding. There is no need for manual inflation, and the buffer plate 2 will be automatically reset.

[0030] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the buffer plate 2 is provided with several water guide grooves 22. The end of the buffer plate 2 away from the airbag 3 is provided with a water outlet 23 that communicates with the several water guide grooves 22. The support plate 1 is provided with a water outlet 12 corresponding to the water outlet 23. The bottom of the support plate 1 is locked with a water collection tank 13 by a locking mechanism 14. The water collection tank 13 is located directly below the water outlet 12. After washing, the surface of the fruit usually has some water droplets remaining. When the fruit is put into the buffer plate 2, due to the slight rebound effect, the water droplets on the surface of the fruit will be shaken off. The shaken-off water droplets will then flow into the water guide grooves 22 and smoothly enter the water collection tank 13 along the water guide grooves 22, the water outlet 23, and the water outlet 12, thus realizing the effective collection of water droplets remaining on the surface of the fruit, thereby reducing the waste of water resources. The water outlet 23, the water outlet 12, and the water collection tank 13 are located on the same vertical line, ensuring that there is no leakage of water during the entire flow process.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rotating chassis 4 includes a base 41 and a rotating motor 45. A rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the center of the base 41. A base plate 43 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 42 to support the fruit. A driven gear 44 is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating shaft 42. A transmission gear 46 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotating motor 45. The transmission gear 46 drives the driven gear 44 to rotate through a transmission chain (not shown in the figure). When the rotating motor 45 starts, the transmission gear 46 at its output end drives the driven gear 44 to rotate through the transmission chain, thereby causing the rotating shaft 42 and the base plate 43 on it to rotate synchronously, ensuring that the rotating chassis 4 can rotate stably and evenly, so that the fruit rolls smoothly on its surface.

[0032] In this embodiment, a bracket 411 is symmetrically installed on the base 41. The bracket 411 is provided with a downwardly extending mounting rod 412. The lower end of the mounting rod 412 is provided with a guide leaf 413. The guide leaf 413 is located above the base plate 43. When the fruit rotates with the base plate 43, the guide leaf 413 can effectively guide the fruit to the edge of the base plate 43, ensuring that the fruit can enter the fruit outlet channel 6 quickly and orderly. A drying lamp 414 for drying the fruit is fixedly installed on the bracket 411. As the base plate 43 rotates, the fruit rolls continuously, and the drying lamp 414 can evenly irradiate all surfaces of the fruit, ensuring that the moisture on the surface of the fruit is thoroughly dried, thereby extending the storage time of the fruit.

[0033] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 14 includes two fixed blocks 141 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the chassis. Each fixed block 141 has a through hole 142. A locking block 143 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the through hole 142. Positioning rods 144 are provided at both ends of the locking block 143. Positioning holes 145 for inserting the positioning rods 144 are provided on both sides of the through hole 142 to maintain the stable position of the locking block 143. A spring 146 is fitted onto the positioning rod 144. One end of the spring 146 is connected to the locking block 143, and the other end is connected to the fixed block 141. The spring force of the spring 146 keeps the locking block 143 in its default position. Locking holes 131 for sliding insertion of the locking block 143 are provided on both sides of the water tank 13. When the water tank 13 is installed in place, the locking block 143 can slide into the locking hole 131 to achieve a secure lock. The two locking blocks 143 have downward-facing arc-shaped surfaces at one end when inserted into the lock hole 131. To remove the water tank 13, simply pull the two locking blocks 143 away from the fixing block 141 manually. The locking blocks 143 stretch the spring 146 and release the restriction on the water tank 13, allowing it to be removed. To install the water tank 13, simply push it upwards to automatically lock it. Due to the arc-shaped surfaces, when the water tank 13 is pushed upwards, the locking blocks 143 will automatically move outwards and stretch the spring 146. Once the water tank 13 is inserted into place, the restoring force of the spring 146 will cause the locking blocks 143 to return to their original position and insert into the lock hole 131, thus firmly fixing the water tank 13. This not only ensures the stable installation of the water tank 13 but also simplifies the installation and disassembly process, achieving an automated locking function.

[0034] Since the fruit may hit the end of the inner clamp 5 when entering the fruit channel, causing damage to the fruit surface, a fixing plate 51 is provided at the end of the clamp 5 located inside the base plate 43. An arc-shaped piece 52 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 51. When the fruit comes into contact with the arc-shaped piece 52 during rolling, the arc-shaped piece 52 will deform, effectively buffering the impact force of the fruit and thus avoiding damage to the fruit surface.

[0035] In addition, an elastic piece 53 is provided between the fixed plate 51 and the arc-shaped piece 52. One end of the elastic piece 53 is connected to the fixed plate 51 and the other end is connected to the arc-shaped piece 52. The elastic piece 53 not only enhances the cushioning effect of the arc-shaped piece 52, but also quickly restores its original shape after being hit by fruit, ensuring that it can continuously provide effective protection.
