Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a fruit canning production and sorting device, comprising:

[0029] Sorting box 1 and multiple support columns 2;

[0030] Positioning plate 3 is rotatably connected to sorting box 1. A discharge port 4 is provided through the side wall of sorting box 1 located on one side of positioning plate 3. A cover plate 5 is provided at the upper end of sorting box 1. A feed port 6 is provided through one side of cover plate 5.

[0031] An installation port is provided through one side of the sorting box 1. An installation shaft 7 is rotatably connected inside the installation port. One end of the installation shaft 7 passes through one side of the installation port and extends to the outside. Two support plates 8 are provided on one side of the sorting box 1. One end of the positioning plate 3 abuts against the upper end of the two support plates 8.

[0032] A positioning port is provided through the positioning plate 3. Multiple positioning shafts 9 are provided inside the positioning port. Adjustment grooves are provided through both sides of the positioning plate 3. Rectangular grooves connecting the adjustment grooves are provided through both sides of the positioning port. The two ends of the multiple positioning shafts 9 pass through the rectangular grooves on both sides respectively and are located in the two adjustment grooves respectively.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple actuating plates 10 are provided on the outer side of the mounting shaft 7. The actuating plate 10 located on one side abuts against the bottom side of the positioning plate 3. When the multiple actuating plates 10 rotate, they can intermittently drive the positioning plate 3 to swing, thereby better sorting the fruit. A drive motor 11 is provided on one side of the sorting box 1. The drive motor 11 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. One end of the mounting shaft 7 is set on the output end of the drive motor 11.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, guide wheels 12 are fitted on the outer side of multiple positioning shafts 9. Multiple guide wheels 12 are provided with positioning holes that are adapted to the positioning shafts 9. Multiple positioning shafts 9 pass through multiple positioning holes and are slidably connected to the side wall of the positioning holes. Multiple rotatable guide wheels 12 can make the fruit move better to one side of the positioning plate 3.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, multiple positioning holes are provided with locking grooves on both sides, and multiple positioning shafts 9 are provided with locking rings 13 on both sides that are adapted to the locking grooves. Multiple locking rings 13 are located in multiple locking grooves and are slidably connected to the side walls of the locking grooves. The locking rings 13 on both sides of multiple positioning shafts 9, together with the locking grooves in multiple guide wheels 12, can limit the position of guide wheels 12 without affecting the rotation of guide wheels 12, and prevent their position from shifting.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each of the two adjustment slots is provided with abutment plates 14. The two abutment plates 14 abut against the two ends of multiple positioning shafts 9 respectively. The two abutment plates 14 are rotatably connected to threaded rods 15 on opposite sides. The two adjustment slots are provided with threaded holes that are adapted to the threaded rods 15 on opposite sides. The two threaded rods 15 pass through the threaded holes on both sides and the sorting box 1 respectively, and are threadedly connected to the side walls of the two threaded holes respectively.

[0037] By means of its design, by rotating the two threaded rods 15, the two abutment plates 14 can be moved respectively, so that the two abutment plates 14 abut against the two ends of the multiple positioning shafts 9 respectively, thereby limiting the position of the multiple positioning shafts 9.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each of the two contact plates 14 is provided with multiple positioning rods 16 on the side near the threaded rod 15. Each of the two adjustment slots is provided with multiple positioning sleeves 17 that are adapted to the positioning rods 16 on the opposite side. The multiple positioning rods 16 are located in the multiple positioning sleeves 17 and are slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning sleeves 17. The multiple positioning rods 16 on one side of the two contact plates 14, together with the multiple positioning sleeves 17 on the side of the two adjustment slots, can limit the position of movement of the two contact plates 14 and prevent them from rotating with the threaded rod 15.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, guide rods 18 are provided in both rectangular grooves, and guide holes adapted to guide rods 18 are provided at both ends of multiple positioning shafts 9. The two guide rods 18 pass through multiple guide holes on both sides and are slidably connected to the side walls of the guide holes. The two guide rods 18 can restrict the movement of multiple positioning shafts 9 and prevent their positions from shifting when they move.

[0040] See Figure 1-4When sorting fruit raw materials for canned fruit using a sorting device, the positions of multiple positioning shafts 9 and multiple guide wheels 12 need to be adjusted according to the volume of the fruit. After adjustment, the threaded rods 15 on both sides need to be rotated. The two threaded rods 15 will drive the two abutment plates 14 to move, so that the two abutment plates 14 abut against the two ends of the multiple positioning shafts 9, locking the positions of the multiple positioning shafts 9. Then, the drive motor 11 is started. The output end of the drive motor 11 will drive the mounting shaft 7 to rotate, and the mounting shaft 7 will drive the multiple positioning shafts 9 to rotate. The rotating actuating plate 10 causes the positioning plate 3 to swing. During sorting, the fruit needs to be added into the sorting box 1 through the feeding port 6. Once inside the sorting box 1, the fruit falls onto multiple guide wheels 12. The swinging positioning plate 3 moves the fruit to one side of the sorting box 1. Smaller fruits pass through the gaps between the guide wheels 12 and fall to the bottom of the sorting box 1, while larger fruits move to one side of the positioning plate 3 and are discharged through the discharge port 4. This effectively sorts the raw materials for canned fruit.
