Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting technology, and in particular to a flipping box structure for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine and the fruit and vegetable sorting machine itself. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fruits and vegetables are a type of food that people often consume. Fruits and vegetables include apples, pears, and tomatoes, among others. After ripening, fruits and vegetables need to be harvested and then transported to factories for sorting and processing to facilitate subsequent packaging and sales.

[0003] In related technologies, fruits and vegetables are generally carried by fruit crates. The robotic arm in the fruit and vegetable sorting machine can grab the fruit crates carrying the fruits and vegetables and move the fruit crates to a designated position. The robotic arm flips the fruit crates and dumps the fruits and vegetables. Then, the inverted fruit crates are placed on the conveyor structure. The conveyor structure can carry the fruit crates to the palletizing area, where workers can then palletize the fruit crates.

[0004] However, the fruit crates are inverted when they are transported to the palletizing area. Workers need to flip the fruit crates over when they are palletizing them, which results in low palletizing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a flipping structure for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine and the fruit and vegetable sorting machine in order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that workers need to flip the fruit crates when stacking them, resulting in low stacking efficiency.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model embodiment is addressed by the following technical solution:

[0007] A tilting structure for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine is provided, comprising:

[0008] frame;

[0009] A first conveying assembly is mounted on the frame and is used to drive the fruit frame to move.

[0010] A second conveying assembly is mounted on the frame and is located above the first conveying assembly. The second conveying assembly is used to move the fruit frame.

[0011] A flipping component is mounted on the frame and located between the first conveying component and the second conveying component. The conveying direction of the first conveying component is towards the flipping component, and the conveying direction of the second conveying component is away from the flipping component. The flipping component is used to flip the fruit frame at the output end of the first conveying component and place it at the input end of the second conveying component.

[0012] With the above structure, when the fruit crates are conveyed to the input end of the first conveying component, they are generally in an inverted state. The first conveying component can move the fruit crates to the flipping component, which can grab the fruit crates located at the output end of the first conveying component. Then, the flipping component rotates the fruit crates 180° so that the opening of the fruit crates faces upward. Next, the flipping component places the fruit crates at the input end of the second conveying component, and then the second conveying component moves the fruit crates to the palletizing area, where workers stack the fruit crates. Workers do not need to flip the fruit crates during palletizing, thus improving the palletizing efficiency of the fruit crates.

[0013] In addition, the second conveying component is located above the first conveying component so that the first and second conveying components can overlap in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the area occupied by the flipping structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the flipping component includes:

[0015] A rotating frame, which is rotatably connected to the machine frame;

[0016] A rotation drive component is mounted on the frame and is used to drive the rotation frame to rotate.

[0017] A first clamping component is mounted on one side of the rotating frame and is used to abut against one side of the fruit frame.

[0018] The second clamping component is mounted on the opposite side of the rotating frame and is used to abut against the opposite side of the fruit frame.

[0019] With the above structure, when a fruit frame is conveyed to the output end of the first conveying component, the first clamping component can abut against one side of the fruit frame, and the second clamping component can abut against the opposite side of the fruit frame, so that the first clamping component and the second clamping component can stably clamp the fruit frame; after the first clamping component and the second clamping component clamp the fruit frame, the rotating frame rotates relative to the frame, so that the fruit frame rotates, and after the fruit frame moves in an arc, it moves from the output end of the first conveying component to the input end of the second conveying component.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first clamping member includes:

[0021] A driving component, which is mounted on one side of the rotating frame;

[0022] A clamping plate is connected to the driving member, which drives the clamping plate to move toward or away from the second clamping member.

[0023] With the above structure, when the fruit frame is located between the first clamping component and the second clamping component, there is a gap between the clamping plate and the outside of the fruit frame. The driving component can drive the clamping plate to move toward the second clamping component so that the clamping plate abuts against the side surface of the fruit frame. Then the clamping plate and the second clamping component clamp the fruit frame together. When the flipping component drives the fruit frame to rotate, the fruit frame can be more stable and the fruit frame is less likely to fall relative to the flipping component.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first clamping component further includes two guide members, which are connected to the side of the clamping plate opposite to the second clamping component, and the two guide members are respectively located on both sides of the driving component; the rotating frame has two guide slots, and each guide member is inserted into a corresponding guide slot.

[0025] With the above structure, the guide member is connected to the side of the clamping plate away from the second clamping member, and the two guide members are located on both sides of the drive member respectively; thus, when the clamping plate moves relative to the rotating frame, the guide groove can guide the guide member, so that the clamping plate can move more stably relative to the rotating frame horizontally, so that the first clamping member and the second clamping member can clamp the fruit frame more stably.

[0026] In some embodiments, the rotating frame includes:

[0027] A first frame is rotatably connected to the machine frame and located on one side of the machine frame. A first clamping component is installed on the first frame, and a rotation driving component is used to drive the first frame to rotate.

[0028] The second frame is rotatably connected to the machine frame and is located on the opposite side of the machine frame. The second clamping component is mounted on the second frame.

[0029] A connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the first frame and the other end of which is connected to the second frame.

[0030] With the above structure, the connecting rod supports the first frame and the second frame, so that the first frame and the second frame are fixed to each other. When the rotation drive component drives the first frame to rotate, the first frame can drive the second frame to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod.

[0031] In some embodiments, both the first frame and the second frame include:

[0032] A first mounting strip, one end of which is rotatably connected to the frame, and the rotation drive component is used to drive the first mounting strip to rotate;

[0033] A second mounting strip is provided, one end of which is connected to the end of the first mounting strip that is away from the rotation drive component. The second mounting strip is perpendicular to the first mounting strip, and the first clamping component is mounted on the end of the second mounting strip that is away from the first mounting strip.

[0034] With the above structure, the second mounting strip is perpendicular to the first mounting strip, and the first clamping component is installed on the end of the second mounting strip that is away from the first mounting strip; so as to make the strength and stability of the first frame higher and reduce the stability of the first frame and the second frame when rotating.

[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting rods include three sets: the two ends of the first set of connecting rods are respectively connected to the first mounting strips of the first frame and the second frame; the two ends of the second set of connecting rods are respectively connected to the connection points of the first mounting strips and the second mounting strips of the first frame and the second frame; and the two ends of the third set of connecting rods are respectively connected to the second mounting strips of the first frame and the second frame.

[0036] With the above structure, the first set of connecting rods is connected to the first mounting strip to make the first mounting strip more stable; the second set of connecting rods is connected to the connection between the first mounting strip and the second mounting strip to make the first mounting strip and the second mounting strip more stable; the third set of connecting rods is connected to the second mounting strip to make the second mounting strip more stable; thus, the rotating frame is more stable.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first delivery component includes:

[0038] Multiple first conveying components are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly. Each first conveying component includes a first moving drive component and a first conveyor belt. The first conveyor belt is mounted on the frame, and the first moving drive component is used to drive the first conveyor belt to move.

[0039] With the above structure, different first conveying components can work independently, so that the conveying speed of each first conveying component can be adjusted independently, so that the conveying speed of the fruit frame at different points of the first conveying assembly can be different, so that the conveying speed at the output end of the first conveying assembly can be matched with the working efficiency of the flipping assembly.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second delivery component includes:

[0041] Multiple second conveying components are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly. Each second conveying component includes a second moving drive component and a second conveyor belt. The second conveyor belt is mounted on the frame, and the second moving drive component is used to drive the second conveyor belt to move.

[0042] With the above structure, different second conveying components can work independently, so that the conveying speed of each second conveying component can be adjusted independently, so that the conveying speed of the fruit frame at different points of the second conveying assembly can be different, so that the conveying speed at the input end of the second conveying assembly can be matched with the working efficiency of the flipping assembly.

[0043] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including the box-flipping structure in any of the above embodiments.

[0044] Compared to existing technologies, when fruit crates are conveyed to the input end of the first conveying component, they are generally in an inverted state. The first conveying component can move the fruit crates to the flipping component, which can grab the fruit crates located at the output end of the first conveying component. Then, the flipping component rotates the fruit crates 180° so that the opening of the fruit crates faces upward. Next, the flipping component places the fruit crates at the input end of the second conveying component, and then the second conveying component moves the fruit crates to the palletizing area, where workers stack the fruit crates. Workers do not need to flip the fruit crates during palletizing, thus improving the palletizing efficiency.

[0045] In addition, the second conveying component is located above the first conveying component so that the first and second conveying components can overlap in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the area occupied by the flipping structure. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0057] The following description, in conjunction with all the accompanying drawings, details a flipping structure 100 for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine and a fruit and vegetable sorting machine provided in this application, through specific embodiments.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1One embodiment of this utility model discloses a tilting structure 100 for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including a frame 10, a first conveying component 20, a second conveying component 30, and a tilting component 40; the first conveying component 20 is installed on the frame 10 and is used to drive the fruit frame to move; the second conveying component 30 is installed on the frame 10 and is located above the first conveying component 20, and is used to drive the fruit frame to move.

[0059] The flipping component 40 is mounted on the frame 10 and is located between the first conveying component 20 and the second conveying component 30. The conveying direction of the first conveying component 20 is towards the flipping component 40, and the conveying direction of the second conveying component 30 is away from the flipping component 40. The flipping component 40 is used to flip the fruit frame at the output end of the first conveying component 20 and place it at the input end of the second conveying component 30.

[0060] With the above structure, when the fruit crates are conveyed to the input end of the first conveying component 20, they are generally in an inverted state. The first conveying component 20 can move the fruit crates to the flipping component 40, which can grab the fruit crates located at the output end of the first conveying component 20. Then, the flipping component 40 rotates the fruit crates 180° so that the opening of the fruit crates faces upward. Next, the flipping component 40 places the fruit crates at the input end of the second conveying component 30, and then the second conveying component 30 moves the fruit crates to the palletizing area, where workers stack the fruit crates. Workers do not need to flip the fruit crates during palletizing, thus improving the palletizing efficiency of the fruit crates.

[0061] In addition, the second conveying component 30 is located above the first conveying component 20 so that the first conveying component 20 and the second conveying component 30 can overlap in the horizontal direction, so that the flipping structure 100 occupies a smaller area.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 10 can be a mounting frame structure formed by connecting steel bars. The first conveying component 20 and the second conveying component 30 can both be fixed to the frame 10 with screws. The first conveying component 20 and the second conveying component 30 can both be conveyor belt structures driven by electric motors. The flipping component 40 can be a gripping structure driven by an electric motor, so that the gripping structure can rotate relative to the frame 10. The gripping structure can be driven by a cylinder so that the gripping structure can clamp the fruit frame.

[0063] In other embodiments, the frame 10 may also be other structures, such as an outer frame structure formed by splicing mounting plates; the first conveying component 20 and the second conveying component 30 may also be other structures, such as a chain conveying structure; the flipping component 40 may also be other structures, such as a robotic arm for gripping fruit frames.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the box-flipping assembly includes a rotating frame 42, a rotating drive component 44, a first clamping component 46, and a second clamping component 48; the rotating frame 42 is rotatably connected to the frame 10; the rotating drive component 44 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to drive the rotating frame 42 to rotate; the first clamping component 46 is mounted on one side of the rotating frame 42 and is used to abut against one side of the fruit box; the second clamping component 48 is mounted on the other opposite side of the rotating frame 42 and is used to abut against the other opposite side of the fruit box.

[0065] With the above structure, when a fruit frame is conveyed to the output end of the first conveying component 20, the first clamping component 46 can abut against one side of the fruit frame, and the second clamping component 48 can abut against the opposite side of the fruit frame, so that the first clamping component 46 and the second clamping component 48 can stably clamp the fruit frame; after the first clamping component 46 and the second clamping component 48 clamp the fruit frame, the rotating frame 42 rotates relative to the frame 10, so that the fruit frame rotates, and after the fruit frame moves in an arc, it moves from the output end of the first conveying component 20 to the input end of the second conveying component 30.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the rotating frame 42 can be adapted to the width of the fruit frame so that the first clamping component 46 and the second clamping component 48 can be located on opposite sides of the fruit frame respectively. The rotating frame 42 can be a frame structure formed by connecting rod-shaped members. From a horizontal perspective, the rotating frame 42 can be "L" shaped. The rotating drive component 44 can be an electric motor. The rotating drive component 44 can be fixed to the frame 10 by screws.

[0067] In other embodiments, the rotating frame 42 may also have other structures, such as being linear in the horizontal direction; the rotating drive component 44 may also have other structures, such as a cylinder.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first clamping component 46 includes a drive member 462 and a clamping plate 464; the drive member 462 is mounted on one side of the rotating frame 42; the clamping plate 464 is connected to the drive member 462, and the drive member 462 is used to drive the clamping plate 464 to move toward or away from the second clamping component 48.

[0069] With the above structure, when the fruit frame is located between the first clamping component 46 and the second clamping component 48, there is a gap between the clamping plate 464 and the outer side of the fruit frame. The driving component 462 can drive the clamping plate 464 to move toward the second clamping component 48 so that the clamping plate 464 abuts against the side surface of the fruit frame. Then, the clamping plate 464 and the second clamping component 48 jointly clamp the fruit frame. When the flipping component 40 drives the fruit frame to rotate, the fruit frame can be more stable and the fruit frame is less likely to fall off relative to the flipping component 40.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the structure of the second clamping member 48 can be the same as that of the first clamping member 46; the driving member 462 can be a cylinder, and the clamping plate 464 can be a rectangular sheet structure. One side of the clamping plate 464 is connected to the piston rod of the driving member 462, and the other opposite side of the clamping plate 464 faces the second clamping member 48. The driving member 462 is located outside the rotating frame 42, and the clamping plate 464 is located inside the rotating frame 42.

[0071] In other embodiments, the drive element 462 may be other structures, such as an electric motor; the clamping plate 464 may be other shapes, such as a circular or elliptical sheet structure.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first clamping member 46 further includes two guide members 466, which are connected to the side of the clamping plate 464 away from the second clamping member 48, and the two guide members 466 are located on both sides of the drive member 462 respectively; the rotating frame 42 has two guide grooves 4202, and each guide member 466 is inserted into a corresponding guide groove 4202.

[0073] With the above structure, the guide member 466 is connected to the side of the clamping plate 464 away from the second clamping member 48, and the two guide members 466 are respectively located on both sides of the drive member 462; thus, when the clamping plate 464 moves relative to the rotating frame 42, the guide groove 4202 can guide the guide member 466, so that the clamping plate 464 can move more stably relative to the rotating frame 42, so that the first clamping member 46 and the second clamping member 48 can clamp the fruit frame more stably.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide member 466 can be a cylindrical structure, and the clamping plate 464 can include a columnar structure 4642. The columnar structure 4642 protrudes toward the second clamping member 48, and the guide groove 4202 passes through the columnar structure 4642. One end of the guide member 466 away from the clamping plate 464 passes through the guide groove 4202 and protrudes out of the outer side of the rotating frame 42. The columnar structure 4642 can make the guide groove 4202 longer in the horizontal direction, so that the guide groove 4202 can play a better guiding role for the guide member 466.

[0075] In other embodiments, the guide 466 may also be of other structures, such as a strip structure with a rectangular cross-section; the guide groove 4202 may also be of other structures, such as a through groove formed in the clamping plate 464.

[0076] In some embodiments, the rotating frame 42 includes: a first frame 422, a second frame 424, and a connecting rod 426; the first frame 422 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 and is located on one side of the frame 10, a first clamping member 46 is mounted on the first frame 422, and a rotation driving member 44 is used to drive the first frame 422 to rotate; the second frame 424 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 and is located on the other opposite side of the frame 10, and a second clamping member 48 is mounted on the second frame 424; one end of the connecting rod 426 is connected to the first frame 422, and the other opposite end of the connecting rod 426 is connected to the second frame 424.

[0077] Through the above structure, the connecting rod 426 supports the first frame 422 and the second frame 424, so that the first frame 422 and the second frame 424 are fixed to each other. When the rotation drive component 44 drives the first frame 422 to rotate, the first frame 422 can drive the second frame 424 to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod 426.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first frame 422 and the second frame 424 have the same structure. The first frame 422 has an L-shaped structure, and the connecting rod 426 can be a strip structure with a rectangular cross-section. One end of the connecting rod 426 is fixed to the first frame 422 with screws, and the other opposite end of the connecting rod 426 is also fixed to the second frame 424 with screws.

[0079] In other embodiments, the first frame 422 and the second frame 424 may also be other structures, such as a long strip structure; the cross-section of the connecting rod 426 may also be other shapes, such as a circle.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first frame 422 and the second frame 424 each include: a first mounting strip 4222 and a second mounting strip 4224; one end of the first mounting strip 4222 is rotatably connected to the frame 10, and a rotation drive component 44 is used to drive the first mounting strip 4222 to rotate; one end of the second mounting strip 4224 is connected to the end of the first mounting strip 4222 that is away from the rotation drive component 44, the second mounting strip 4224 is perpendicular to the first mounting strip 4222, and a first clamping component 46 is mounted on the end of the second mounting strip 4224 that is away from the first mounting strip 4222.

[0081] With the above structure, the second mounting strip 4224 is perpendicular to the first mounting strip 4222, and the first clamping component 46 is installed on the end of the second mounting strip 4224 that is away from the first mounting strip 4222; so that the strength and stability of the first frame 422 are higher, and the stability of the first frame 422 and the second frame 424 when rotating is reduced.

[0082] Specifically, the second mounting strip 4224 is perpendicular to the first mounting strip 4222, and the first clamping component 46 is mounted on the end of the second mounting strip 4224 away from the first mounting strip 4222, so that the first frame 422 has an L-shaped structure.

[0083] In some embodiments, the connecting rods 426 include three sets: the opposite ends of the first set of connecting rods 426 are respectively connected to the first mounting strips 4222 of the first frame 422 and the second frame 424; the opposite ends of the second set of connecting rods 426 are respectively connected to the connection points of the first mounting strips 4222 and the second mounting strips 4224 of the first frame 422 and the second frame 424; and the opposite ends of the third set of connecting rods 426 are respectively connected to the second mounting strips 4224 of the first frame 422 and the second frame 424.

[0084] With the above structure, one end of the first set of connecting rods 426 is connected to the first mounting strip 4222, so that the first mounting strip 4222 is more stable; one end of the second set of connecting rods 426 is connected to the connection between the first mounting strip 4222 and the second mounting strip 4224, so that the first mounting strip 4222 and the second mounting strip 4224 can be connected more stably; one end of the third set of connecting rods 426 is connected to the second mounting strip 4224, so that the second mounting strip is more stable; thereby making the rotating frame 42 more stable.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, there is one connecting rod in each group 426. In other embodiments, the number of connecting rods 426 in each group may be other, such as two or three.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first conveying assembly 20 includes a plurality of first conveying components 22, all of which are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 20. Each first conveying component 22 includes a first moving drive component 222 and a first conveyor belt 224. The first conveyor belt 224 is mounted on the frame 10, and the first moving drive component 222 is used to drive the first conveyor belt 224 to move.

[0087] With the above structure, different first conveying components 22 can work independently, so that the conveying speed of each first conveying component 22 can be adjusted independently, so that the conveying speed of the fruit frame at different points of the first conveying assembly 20 can be different, so that the conveying speed at the output end of the first conveying assembly 20 can be matched with the working efficiency of the flipping assembly 40.

[0088] Specifically, the first moving drive component 222 may also include two rollers 226, with the opposite ends of the first conveyor belt 224 respectively fitted onto a corresponding roller 226, and the first moving drive component 222 may be an electric motor connected to one of the rollers 226.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second conveying assembly 30 includes a plurality of second conveying components 32, all of which are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 30. Each second conveying component 32 includes a second moving drive component 322 and a second conveyor belt 324. The second conveyor belt 324 is mounted on the frame 10, and the second moving drive component 322 is used to drive the second conveyor belt 324 to move.

[0090] With the above structure, different second conveying components 32 can work independently, so that the conveying speed of each second conveying component 32 can be adjusted independently, so that the conveying speed of the fruit frame at different points of the second conveying assembly 30 can be different, so that the conveying speed at the input end of the second conveying assembly 30 can be matched with the working efficiency of the flipping assembly 40.

[0091] Specifically, the second moving drive component 322 may also include two rollers 226, with the opposite ends of the second conveyor belt 324 respectively fitted onto a corresponding roller 226, and the second moving drive component 322 may be an electric motor connected to two of the rollers 226.
