Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fruit packaging technology, and in particular to a transfer device for a soft box for holding fruit. Background Technology

[0002] Fruits are an important part of our daily diet, rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, and loved for their unique flavor and texture. Fruit-growing regions typically cultivate large quantities of single varieties, such as apples, kiwis, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. After ripening, fruits are usually not sold immediately, and to extend the sales period, harvested fruits are typically stored in cold storage and packaged and transported in real-time based on market demand.

[0003] Currently, the process of removing fruit from cold storage and packaging it typically involves sorting (such as sorting according to fruit size for standardized specifications to differentiate prices during later sales), surface inspection, packaging and boxing, and then transportation. (See the attached instructions.) Figures 1-6 The image shows the current packaging process for kiwifruit. After screening and surface inspection, the fruit is conveyed by a conveyor belt and transferred to cardboard boxes for final sealing. Because kiwifruit has a high water content, to prevent damage to the cardboard boxes caused by compression or other external forces during transportation, the kiwifruit is usually placed in a soft plastic box (such as...). Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, during the surface inspection and cleaning process after kiwifruit sorting, to prevent deformation of the soft boxes, they are usually placed inside metal boxes. The metal boxes are then transported on a conveyor belt, completing the surface inspection and cleaning of the fruit inside each soft box. After this process, the conveyor belt transports the metal box, its contents (soft boxes and fruit), to the end of the conveyor belt. At this point, the operator transfers the soft boxes and the fruit inside to a paper box next to the conveyor belt, and then seals the paper box, completing the fruit packaging process.

[0004] like Figure 5 As shown, during the process of transferring the soft-sided box and the fruit from the metal box to the paper box, the operator typically holds the soft-sided box diagonally, separating it and the fruit from the metal box before placing them into the paper box. However, during this process, when lifting the soft-sided box diagonally, the presence of a large amount of fruit causes the box to bend diagonally after being lifted, as shown... Figures 5-6As shown, in the deformed state, the fruit is prone to falling and damaging from the soft box body, so the operator is relatively slow during the transfer process, which will cause the accumulation of fruit packing and affect the overall efficiency of the packing line. Utility model content

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application aims to provide a transfer device for soft box body containing fruit, which always translates and supports the soft box body during the transfer process from the metal box body to the paper box body, thereby solving the problem of deformation of the soft box body after being lifted manually and separated from the metal box body, effectively solving the problem of fruit falling and damaging after the deformation of the soft box body, and improving the efficiency of fruit packing.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a transfer device for soft box body containing fruit, the soft box body is supported in the metal box body, and the metal box body is conveyed on the conveying belt, characterized in that: the transfer device is arranged on one side of the conveying belt in the direction of travel, a paper box body supporting the soft box body is placed on the transfer device, and a transition supporting member is arranged between the end of the conveying belt and the paper box body to transfer the soft box body into the paper box body.

[0007] Preferably, the transfer device is a transfer frame body arranged close to one side of the conveying belt, and rollers supporting the paper box body are arranged horizontally on the transfer frame body, and the paper box body is not higher than the conveying belt after being placed on the rollers.

[0008] Preferably, the transition supporting member is a transition supporting plate fixedly connected at one end to the bottom of the end side of the conveying belt, and the transition supporting plate is a flexible structure and can be bent and laid in the paper box body.

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and examples.

[0025] As shown in the prior art, Figures 1-6 The soft box a is received in the metal box b, and the metal box b is conveyed on the conveying belt 1. During the conveying process, the operator inspects and cleans the surface of the fruit, and then the fruit is conveyed to the end of the conveying belt and transferred into the paper box c. In order to solve the problems of easy falling and damage of the fruit due to deformation during the transfer process of the soft box, and low efficiency of the packing operation, the present application provides a transfer device for a soft box containing fruit, as shown in Figures 7~12As shown, the transfer device is arranged on one side of the conveying belt 1 in the direction of travel, and a paper box body c is placed on the transfer device to receive the fruit conveyed by the conveying belt. To solve the problem of deformation of the soft box body a after lifting, a transition receiving member is arranged between the end of the conveying belt 1 and the paper box body c to transition the soft box body a into the paper box body c. The transition receiving member always receives the soft box body during the transition from the metal box body b to the paper box body c, thereby solving the problem of deformation of the soft box body a after lifting and separating from the metal box body b, thereby effectively solving the problem of damage caused by the falling of the fruit after deformation of the soft box body a, and thereby improving the efficiency of fruit packing.

[0026] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 7 The transfer device is a transfer frame body 2 arranged close to one side of the conveying belt 1, and rollers 3 supporting the paper box body c are arranged horizontally on the transfer frame body 2. After the paper box body c is placed on the rollers 3, the paper box body c is not higher than the conveying belt 1. As shown in the drawings, Figure 8 After the paper box body c is placed on the rollers 3, the top of the paper box body c is not higher than the conveying belt, that is, during the transition of the soft box body, the deformation and bending caused by lifting are avoided, and the soft box body a is placed into the paper box body c by translation or lowering, which can effectively avoid the problem of fruit falling caused by lifting deformation. After the soft box body a and the fruit are loaded into the paper box body c, the rollers 3 are driven to move, and the subsequent packaging operation can be performed. A new paper box body c is placed on the rollers 3 close to the end of the conveying belt to perform continuous packing operation.

[0027] To achieve smooth transition of the soft box body a, as shown in the drawings, Figures 7-8 The transition receiving member is a transition receiving plate 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the end side of the conveying belt 1. The transition receiving plate 4 is a flexible structure (preferably a rubber pad) and can be bent and laid in the paper box body c. The specific transition process is shown in the drawings, Figure 10 First, the empty paper box body c is opened and placed on the rollers 3 close to the end of the conveying belt, and then the transition receiving plate 4 is placed in the paper box body c and bent and laid according to the structure adaptability of the paper box body c (as shown in the drawings), Figure 8 When the metal box body b is conveyed to the side of the conveying belt (usually a frame body with rollers 3 is arranged on one side of the conveying belt, and when the metal box body is transferred to the frame body, the metal box body is in a stationary state, which is the same as the transfer frame body, not shown in the drawings), the operator holds one side of the soft box body a in the metal box body b and pulls it out (the metal box body is usually a disc structure with a lower side, which can pull out the soft box body), and the soft box body after pulling out is bent and slides into the paper box body c along the transition receiving plate 4, as shown in the drawings, Figure 11As shown in the diagram, the paper box is then pulled outwards, and the transition support plate 4 will gradually detach from the paper box. If multiple layers of flexible boxes are being used, after the transition support plate 4 is completely detached, as shown... Figure 12 As shown, the paper box is driven in the opposite direction again to move closer to the conveyor belt, and then the transition receiving plate 4 is bent and laid inside the paper box for loading the upper layer of fruit. The transition receiving plate 4 provides sufficient bottom support for the soft box during the transfer process, effectively solving the problem of fruit falling and being damaged due to deformation caused by manual diagonal lifting, as well as the problem of affecting packaging efficiency.

[0028] To facilitate the reciprocating movement of the paper box, the roller 3 is preferably driven by a motor, which can quickly and smoothly perform the above-mentioned reciprocating movement operation of the paper box.

[0029] To further facilitate the removal of the flexible casing a from the metal casing b, such as Figure 9 As shown, the metal box b is configured with a hinged opening structure on the side of the conveyor belt 1. Specifically, the metal box b is divided into a main box b1 and a side box b2 near its side. The side box b2 is hinged to the main box b2 at its bottom. The two are preferably connected by magnetic attraction. When the metal box b2 is transferred to the side of the conveyor belt, the side box b2 is flipped downwards by external force to overcome the magnetic attraction between it and the main box b2. Then, the soft box b2 can be pulled out horizontally from the metal box b2. This avoids the problem of fruit falling out due to the deformation of the soft box b2 during the process of pulling it out from the top of the side box b2.

[0030] The principle of this application is as follows: A receiving frame with rollers is set on one side of the current fruit packaging conveyor belt. Paper boxes are placed on the rollers, lower than the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt transports the metal box to its side, the side is opened, and a flexible box is pulled out of the metal box and slides down along a transition receiving plate already laid inside the paper box on the rollers. Then, the paper box is pulled outwards, and the transition receiving plate gradually detaches from the paper box. If multiple layers of flexible boxes are being packed, after the transition receiving plate is completely detached, the paper boxes are again driven in the opposite direction towards the conveyor belt. Then, the transition receiving plate is bent and laid inside the paper box again for loading the upper layer of fruit. This transition receiving plate provides sufficient bottom support during the transfer of the flexible boxes, effectively solving the problem of fruit falling and being damaged due to deformation caused by manual diagonal lifting, as well as the problem of reduced packaging efficiency.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application. Various changes and modifications may be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
