Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a small flower sorting machine includes a frame 1 with a transmission assembly 2 mounted on it. One side of the transmission assembly is a loading area, and the other side is a unloading area. A vision inspection module 3 is also mounted on the frame, located between the loading and unloading areas. The vision inspection module is a conventional inspection device and is not directly related to the structure of this application; therefore, it will not be described in detail here.

[0029] The transmission assembly includes a conveyor chain 21, on which multiple grippers 22 for holding flowers are spaced apart. In this embodiment, the feeding area is located on the left side. Flowers are fed manually, the grippers fix the flowers, and the conveyor chain is driven by a motor. The grippers move synchronously with the conveyor chain, thereby conveying the flowers to the unloading area.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the gripper has a locking slot 23 that narrows towards the sprocket, and the end of the slot grips the flower stem. By manually inserting a single flower stem into the locking slot, the flower can be securely held in place, preventing it from falling off during movement. The rear end of the gripper is directly fixed to the sprocket, thus enabling synchronous movement between the gripper and the sprocket.

[0031] Multiple pushing components 4 are installed on the frame at the unloading area. A receiving component 5 is provided on the outside of the pushing components. The grippers move with the conveyor chain to the top of the pushing components, and the pushing components push the flowers out of the grippers and fall into the receiving component.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the pushing assembly includes a connecting plate 41 fixed to the frame, a cylinder 42 on the connecting plate, and a pusher plate 43 at the front end of the cylinder. The front end of the pusher plate has an arc-shaped pushing surface. Guide shafts 44 are connected to both ends of the pusher plate, passing through the connecting plate and connecting to the frame. The pusher plate pushes the flower stem, causing the flower to move forward and disengage from the gripper. The pusher plate is directly driven by the cylinder to reciprocate, and the guide shafts guide the movement of the pusher plate to prevent it from deviating. The direct drive of the cylinder to the pusher plate enables rapid movement of the pusher plate with a short stroke and high frequency, effectively improving the flower feeding speed. When the gripper moves the flower to the front of the pusher plate, the cylinder drives the pusher plate to extend quickly. The arc-shaped pushing surface of the pusher plate pushes the flower stem, pushing the flower from the gripper into the receiving assembly below.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the receiving assembly 5 includes a support 51, on which feeding units corresponding to the grippers are spaced apart. Each feeding unit includes two spaced-apart, downward-sloping feeding plates 52, forming a feeding trough 53 between them. Flowers pushed off by the pusher plate fall onto the feeding plates, while the flower stems are caught in the feeding trough and slide down the inclined feeding plates. The upper end of the feeding plate is connected to an upper connecting plate 54, and the lower end is connected to a lower connecting plate 55. The upper and lower connecting plates are connected to the support. A vibration motor 56 is also installed on the upper connecting plate. The vibration motor causes the flowers to slide down quickly. When the flowers reach the bottom of the feeding plate, they are manually collected and packaged.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In the feeding area, fresh flowers are placed one by one by the manual on the grippers that follow the conveyor chain. The conveyor chain drives the grippers to the unloading area. When the grippers holding the fresh flowers are running, the corresponding pushing component is in front of them. The cylinder quickly drives the pusher plate forward. The pusher plate pushes the fresh flowers off the grippers. The fresh flowers fall onto the unloading plate. The flower stems move along the unloading chute to the discharge port, where the fresh flowers are collected manually.

[0035] In summary, this utility model of a small flower sorting machine adopts a single-power transmission conveyor line, which simplifies the structure of the sorting machine and results in high sorting efficiency.

[0036] The above description is based on the preferred embodiments of this utility model. Through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined by the scope of the claims.
