[0013] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Firstly, the device exhibits a high degree of automation in the entire sorting process. Under the dual action of gravity and the climbing belt, the citrus naturally tilts and climbs towards the rear inclined climbing area of the support frame, without the need for direct human intervention. When the citrus reaches the cleaning area, the cleaning brush and the cleaning nozzle cooperate closely to implement efficient and comprehensive cleaning of the surface of the citrus. This not only ensures the hygiene standard of the citrus, but also effectively removes dirt and pesticide residues through the fine bristles of the cleaning brush that penetrate every tiny gap on the surface of the citrus, further improving the hygiene quality of the citrus.

[0015] The strong and uniform airflow generated by the drying fans can fully blow and dry the cleaned citrus, effectively preventing the risk of rotting or deterioration caused by water residue. These designs not only ensure the quality stability of the citrus during the entire sorting process, but also significantly reduce the loss rate.

[0016] Secondly, the sorting rod of the device adopts the ingenious design of incremental spacing, which enables the citrus to be easily and accurately sized in the sorting frame, ensuring the accuracy of the sizing result. After sizing, the citrus is orderly guided into the characteristic discharge chambers in the guide frame, and then, under the careful guidance of the guide frame, the citrus naturally slides into the collection box, thus completing the sorting and collecting process. This series of highly automated operation steps not only significantly improves the production efficiency, but also effectively simplifies the complexity of manual operation, greatly reduces the labor intensity, and provides a strong guarantee for the smooth operation of the production line.

Through the design of high automation, the present application realizes the coherent operation from the automatic climbing of citrus, efficient cleaning, comprehensive drying to accurate grading and orderly collection. This process not only ensures the quality stability and sanitary quality of citrus during the entire processing process, significantly reduces the loss rate, but also greatly improves the production efficiency, effectively simplifies the complexity of manual operation, and greatly reduces the labor intensity. These advantages collectively provide strong protection for the smooth operation of the production line and the high-quality output of citrus products, realizing efficient, accurate and low-loss processing from raw materials to finished products.

[0028] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the present application mainly includes a support frame 1. The sorting machine, through the layout of the front parallel extension region and the rear upwardly inclined climbing region of the support frame 1, not only optimizes the space utilization, but also ensures the smooth flow of citrus during sorting. In particular, the inclined climbing design of the rear region helps citrus to move automatically upward under the action of gravity, reducing manual intervention and improving sorting efficiency.

[0029] The climbing belt on the support frame 1 matches the slope, further enhancing the stability and continuity of the citrus during sorting; the design of the climbing belt enables the citrus to move smoothly along the predetermined path, avoiding damage caused by bumps or falling;

[0030] A set of electric push rods 3 symmetrically arranged at the top of the mounting frame 2 provide flexible lifting function for the receiving seat 4; by the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 3, the height of the receiving seat 4 can be easily adjusted to adapt to citrus of different sizes or different sorting requirements; this design not only improves the flexibility of sorting, but also reduces the operation difficulty;

[0031] The rotating cleaning brush 5 in the receiving seat 4, driven by the servo motor 6, realizes efficient cleaning of the surface of the citrus; the delicate bristles of the cleaning brush 5 can penetrate into the tiny gaps on the surface of the citrus, completely removing dirt and pesticide residues, and improving the sanitary quality of the citrus;

[0032] In addition, the water supply main pipe 7 arranged on the side wall of the support frame 1 is connected in communication with an external water source, and through the communication of the plurality of water supply branch pipes 8 and the cleaning spray head 9, sufficient water source is provided for the cleaning process; the cleaning spray head 9 can uniformly spray water flow on the surface of the citrus, forming a synergistic effect with the cleaning brush 5, and further improving the cleaning effect.

[0033] As shown in the further preferred embodiment of the utility model, Figure 2 The support frame 1 is provided with a drying bin 10 above the climbing area, and the inner top wall and both sides of the drying bin 10 are provided with drying fans 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the outer surface of the citrus is cleaned, the drying fans 11 are immediately started to generate strong and uniform airflow for blowing and drying the citrus in all directions. The layout of these drying fans 11 in the drying bin 10 is very exquisite, whether it is the top, side or bottom, it can receive sufficient airflow, thereby realizing complete and uniform drying effect. Such design effectively avoids water residue and reduces the risk of rot or deterioration of the citrus due to high humidity, providing a more high-quality citrus product for subsequent storage, grading and packaging.

[0035] As shown in the further preferred embodiment of the utility model, Figures 2-6 The support frame 1 is provided with a sorting frame 12 adjacent to the end side of the climbing area, and the sorting frame 12 is provided with a plurality of parallel sorting rods 13, and the distance between every two adjacent sorting rods 13 away from the side of the support frame 1 is gradually increased.

[0036] In the embodiment, when the citrus moves along the climbing area of the support frame 1 to the entrance of the sorting frame 12, they will naturally slide between two adjacent sorting rods 13, benefiting from the incremental design of the spacing of the sorting rods 13, that is, the spacing of the sorting rods 13 away from one side of the support frame 1 gradually increases, which enables larger citrus to be smoothly guided into the wider spacing and slide down, and smaller citrus will naturally slide down from the sorting rods 13 with smaller spacing, in this way, the citrus can be preliminarily and effectively sized in the sorting frame 12.

[0037] As shown in the further preferred embodiment of the utility model, Figures 3-4 The bottom of the sorting frame 12 is provided with a material guide frame 14, and the material guide frame 14 is divided into a plurality of unloading chambers with a certain slope by a vertical plate 15.

[0038] In the embodiment, different sizes of citrus are guided into different unloading chambers, and the unloading chambers are designed with a certain slope, so that the citrus can roll down along the slope of the chamber under the action of gravity until reaching the outlet of the chamber, through such design, the citrus can not only be sized in the sorting frame 12, but also orderly enter the next processing link under the guidance of the material guide frame 14.

[0039] As shown in the further preferred embodiment of the utility model, Figures 3-4 The side with lower slope of the material guide frame 14 is provided with a support plate 16, and the support plate 16 is provided with a plurality of material collecting boxes 17.

[0040] In the embodiment, when the citrus rolls down along the slope of the material guide frame 14 and reaches the side with lower slope, they will naturally slide into the material collecting boxes 17 on the support plate 16, such design not only makes the sorting and collecting process of the citrus more efficient and orderly, but also reduces the tediousness of manual operation and improves the automation degree of the whole sorting machine.

[0041] As shown in the further preferred embodiment of the utility model, Figures 1-4 The end side of the support frame 1 adjacent to the parallel area is provided with a material blocking plate 18, and a plurality of flow guide through holes 19 are formed through the material blocking plate 18.

[0042] In the embodiment, the material blocking plate 18 can resist the impact force generated during the movement of the citrus, and the plurality of flow guide through holes 19 formed through the material blocking plate 18 can ensure that the water source can be uniformly sprayed on the surface of the citrus during the cleaning of the citrus, and at the same time, the water can be smoothly discharged through the flow guide through holes 19, avoiding the accumulation of water or poor water flow.

[0043] As shown in the further preferred embodiment of the utility model, Figures 1-4As shown, the support frame 1 is provided with a water collecting groove 20 at the lower position adjacent to the material blocking plate 18.

[0044] In this embodiment, the water collecting groove 20 can effectively collect and accommodate the cleaning water source discharged from the through hole of the material blocking plate 18. Through the collection of the water collecting groove 20, the dryness and neatness of the working area can be ensured, and the risk of slipping or equipment damage caused by water accumulation can be avoided.

[0045] Working principle: first, the citrus is placed in the front parallel extension area of the support frame 1, which provides a stable initial position for the citrus; then, under the action of gravity, the citrus automatically tilts and climbs upward along the climbing belt consistent with the slope to the rear upward climbing area of the support frame 1; the design of the climbing belt ensures the stability and continuity of the citrus during movement, avoiding damage caused by bumps or falling;

[0046] During the climbing process, the citrus will pass through the mounting frame 2; the electric push rod 3 adjusts the height of the receiving seat 4 through extension and retraction to adapt to citrus of different sizes or different sorting and cleaning needs; this design improves the flexibility of sorting and reduces the difficulty of operation;

[0047] When the citrus reaches the receiving seat 4, the rotating cleaning brush 5 in the receiving seat 4 will be driven by the servo motor 6 to clean the surface of the citrus efficiently; the delicate bristles of the cleaning brush 5 can penetrate into the tiny gaps on the surface of the citrus, completely removing dirt and pesticide residues, and improving the sanitary quality of the citrus; at the same time, the water supply main pipe 7 provided on the side wall of the support frame 1 is connected to the external water source, and through the connection of multiple water supply branch pipes 8 and cleaning nozzles 9, sufficient water source is provided for the cleaning process; the cleaning nozzles 9 can uniformly spray water flow on the surface of the citrus, forming a synergistic effect with the cleaning brush 5, further improving the cleaning effect;

[0048] After cleaning, the citrus continues to move along the climbing area of the support frame 1 to the drying box; in order to ensure the drying quality of the citrus, the drying fans 11 are started immediately after the external surface of the citrus is cleaned; these drying fans 11 form a strong and uniform airflow in the drying chamber 10, blowing and drying the citrus from all directions; the layout of the drying fans 11 ensures that each surface of the citrus can be fully dried, avoiding the problem of rotting or deterioration caused by water residue;

[0049] Then the citrus moves to the entrance of the sorting frame 12; here, the citrus will naturally slide between two adjacent sorting rods 13; due to the incremental design of the spacing between the sorting rods 13, i.e. the spacing between the sorting rods 13 away from the support frame 1 gradually increases, larger citrus will be guided into the wider spacing and slide downward, while smaller citrus will naturally slide downward between the sorting rods 13 with smaller spacing; in this way, the citrus realizes preliminary and effective size grading in the sorting frame 12;

[0050] The graded citrus fruits are guided into different slope discharging chambers in the guide frame 14; the design of these discharging chambers enables the citrus fruits to roll down along the slope of the chamber under the action of gravity until reaching the outlet of the chamber; through such design, the citrus fruits not only achieve size grading in the sorting frame 12, but also orderly enter the next processing link under the guidance of the guide frame 14;

[0051] On the side with lower slope of the guide frame 14, the citrus fruits will naturally slide into the collecting box 17 on the support plate 16; the arrangement of the collecting box 17 makes the sorting and collecting process of the citrus fruits more efficient and orderly, reduces the tediousness of manual operation, and improves the automation degree of the entire sorting machine.
