Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of citrus processing technology, specifically a high-quality sorting device for citrus. Background Technology
[0002] Citrus sorting is an important part of citrus processing and sales. Its main purpose is to classify citrus fruits according to certain standards (such as size, weight, color, quality, etc.). When citrus fruits are sorted according to uniform standards, subsequent processing (such as making canned citrus fruits, juice, etc.) and packaging will be more convenient.
[0003] According to the authorization announcement number CN214682891U, a high-quality sorting device for citrus fruits is disclosed. A sorting assembly is installed inside the sorting cylinder. The output shaft of a drive motor passes through the bottom of the sorting cylinder and connects to a transmission rod. A sorting disc is sleeved in the middle of the transmission rod. Anti-collision soft rings are embedded inside the sorting holes. An annular rubber tube is installed between two air pipes. A one-way valve is installed inside the air outlet. An air pipe passes through the sorting cylinder and connects to an air pump. Rubber spiral blades are adhered to the outside of the connecting pipe. A feeding assembly is installed on the outside of the sorting cylinder. A sliding rod is slidably installed inside the guide rail. A connecting block is welded to the middle of the sliding rod. A feeding cylinder is hinged to one end of the connecting block. In this invention, the falling speed of the citrus fruits is reduced by the rubber spiral blades, and a fan blows the blades and small branches out, causing them to be discharged upwards along the rubber spiral blades. They are then sorted by the sorting disc. Anti-collision soft rings are embedded in the sorting holes to prevent scratching the citrus peel and ensure the quality of the sorted fruit.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned device is still insufficient. The citrus fruits are rotated by a cylindrical barrel, and sorted through sorting holes while rotating. However, the combination of sorting holes and barrel rotation can cause clogging in the sorting process, affecting the sorting efficiency. Utility Model Content

The air curtain machine 6 is positioned opposite the guide rod 3 and is used to blow away the leaves and dust adhering to the citrus fruits.
[0027] The material bin 2 includes a bin body 201, a rotating block 202, a pusher plate 203, a transmission component 204, a drive motor 205, an inclined plate 206, and a discharge plate 207. The bin body 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 1. The rotating block 202 is rotatably connected to the inside of the bin body 201. The pusher plate 203 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating block 202. The transmission component 204 is located outside the bin body 201. The drive motor 205 is located at the other end of the transmission component 204. The inclined plate 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the bin body 201. The discharge plate 207 is... At one end of the outer side of the box 201, the drive motor 205 drives the rotating block 202 to rotate, causing the pusher plate 203 to rotate. Together with the inclined plate 206, the oranges move downwards and are discharged from the box 201 through the discharge plate 207. They then enter the guide rod 3 for sorting, preventing the oranges from clogging inside the box 201 and affecting the sorting efficiency. There are six sets of pusher plates 203, which are evenly distributed outside the rotating block 202 to ensure that the pusher plates 203 can drive the oranges to move when they rotate, thus preventing the oranges from clogging the discharge port of the box 201.
[0028] The transmission component 204 has a rotating block and a transmission belt inside. The rotating block is connected to the output shaft of the rotating block 202 and the drive motor 205, respectively. The transmission belt is sleeved and connected to the outside of the rotating block. Therefore, the drive motor 205 can drive the rotating block 202 to rotate.
[0029] The guide rod 3 includes a mounting frame 301, a movable block 302, a round rod 303, and a moving block 304. The mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected to one end of the support plate 1. The movable block 302 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting frame 301. The round rod 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block 302. The moving block 304 is fixedly connected to the other end of the round rod 303. The sorting gap between citrus fruits is adjusted by the adjustable round rod 303. The size of the citrus fruits is distinguished by their diameter, which is simple and efficient. There are two guide rods 3, which are respectively set on both sides of the bottom of the discharge plate 207 to ensure that the citrus fruits discharged from the box 201 can enter the two guide rods 3 for sorting. The bottom of the guide rod 3 is placed with a collection frame as needed to collect the sorted citrus fruits. The end of the guide rod 3 near the support plate 1 is higher, and the end of the guide rod 3 near the adjustment plate 4 is lower. Gravity is used to move the citrus fruits to complete the sorting.
[0030] The adjusting plate 4 includes a plate body 401, an arc-shaped groove 402, an adjusting block 403, and a fixing bolt 404. The arc-shaped groove 402 is formed inside the plate body 401, the adjusting block 403 is set inside the arc-shaped groove 402, and the fixing bolt 404 is set at the bottom of the adjusting block 403. The top of the adjusting block 403 is connected to the bottom of the moving block 304. By moving the adjusting block 403 in the arc-shaped groove 402, the spacing of the round rod 303 can be adjusted, which is convenient for adjusting the sorting of citrus. Then, the adjusting block 403 is fixed in position by the fixing bolt 404. The outer side of the fixing bolt 404 is provided with anti-slip texture, which makes it easy to rotate the fixing bolt 404 and facilitate the adjustment of the guide rod 3.
[0031] When in use, the citrus fruits are placed inside the box 201. The drive motor 205 drives the rotating block 202 to rotate, causing the pusher plate 203 to rotate. This prevents the citrus fruits from blocking the discharge port of the box 201. The citrus fruits fall from the discharge plate 207 onto the two guide rods 3. They move by gravity, and the separation of the citrus fruits is completed as the distance between the guide rods 3 changes. The distance between the guide rods 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting block 403.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
