Now, the classification of round fruits such as apples, oranges, and peaches in the market mainly relies on manual labor and machines.
[0003] Existing domestic sorting equipment is very rudimentary and time-consuming to operate, easily causing machine blockage and uneven sorting. Many machines cannot guarantee the integrity of the fruit during sorting, resulting in damaged and unqualified sorted products that need to be sorted again. Therefore, this utility model proposes a grading and screening device for agricultural products to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a grading and screening device for crops. This device uses a buffer chamber with layers of buffer plates to buffer the crops, allowing them to enter the screening chamber in an orderly manner through the feed inlet. This prevents the crops from accumulating and causing blockages. The crops are repeatedly screened on the first screening structure, and those that do not meet the specified size requirements fall through a buffer net into the second screening structure. This repeated screening process prevents uneven size distribution among the different grades of crops, avoids damage to falling fruits, and ensures product standardization.
[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a grading and screening device for crops, including a screening chamber and a buffer chamber, characterized in that: the buffer chamber is located above one side of the screening chamber, and the interior of the screening chamber is provided with a first screening structure, a buffer net structure and a second screening structure, and the buffer net structure is located between the first screening structure and the second screening structure;

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model includes a buffer chamber and a screening chamber. First, after the crops are put into the discharge port, they are buffered layer by layer by the buffer plates in the buffer chamber. The crops then enter the screening chamber in an orderly manner through the discharge port, preventing the accumulation of crops from causing blockages. Then, the crops are screened back and forth on the first screening structure. Crops that do not meet the specified size fall into the second screening structure through the buffer net, preventing the falling fruit from being damaged. Crops that meet the corresponding standards will remain on the corresponding screening structure. Through the back and forth screening, the size of the crops of different grades is prevented from being uneven, ensuring the standardization of the product. The buffer net also greatly preserves the integrity of the fruit. Finally, by opening the lifting doors on both sides of the screening chamber, the crops will enter the discharge box through the discharge plate. This operation saves time and effort while achieving the purpose of screening. Attached Figure Description

[0026] A first material outlet 10 is provided above one side of the screening chamber 1, and a first collection box 11 is provided below the first material outlet 10. A second material outlet 12 is provided below the other side of the screening chamber 1, and a second collection box 13 is provided at the bottom of the second material outlet 12. A feeding plate 14 is provided at the bottom of both the first material outlet 10 and the second material outlet 12. An automatic door opening structure is provided at the opening of both the first material outlet 10 and the second material outlet 12. The automatic door opening structure includes a pneumatic cylinder 15 and a lifting door 16. The lifting door 16 is installed at the bottom of the pneumatic cylinder 15.
[0027] A waste box 17 is placed at the bottom inside the screening chamber 1. A waste switch door 18 is provided at the bottom front of the screening chamber 1. An observation switch door 19 is installed at the top front of the screening chamber 1.
[0028] A discharge port 20 is installed on one side of the upper part of the buffer chamber 2. A buffer plate 21 is installed inside the buffer chamber 2, and several buffer plates 21 are installed.

[0030] This crop grading and screening equipment involves feeding crops into the inlet. The crops are then buffered by layers of buffer plates in the buffer chamber, allowing them to flow orderly through the inlet into the screening chamber and preventing blockages. Next, the crops are repeatedly screened on the first screening structure. Crops that do not meet the specified size are dropped through a buffer net into the second screening structure, preventing damage. Crops that meet the standards remain on their respective screening structures. This repeated screening process prevents uneven size distribution among the different grades of crops, ensuring product standardization. The buffer net also greatly preserves the integrity of the fruit. Finally, opening the lifting doors on both sides of the screening chamber allows the crops to pass through the discharge plate into the feeding box. This operation is both time-saving and labor-saving in achieving the screening objective.
[0031] In use, push the screening chamber to the area where crops need to be screened, and put the crops in through the discharge port. The crops are buffered by layers of buffer plates in the buffer chamber, and will enter the screening chamber in an orderly manner through the discharge port to prevent the crops from piling up and causing blockages. After falling into the first screening structure, the crops will be screened back and forth on the first screening structure. Those that do not meet the corresponding size specifications will fall into the second screening structure through the buffer net. After being screened by the second screening structure, unqualified products and debris will fall into the waste box. Finally, the qualified products will fall into the discharge box by opening the lifting door. This back and forth screening through layers prevents the crops of different grades from being of uneven size and ensures the standardization of the products.
