Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit sorting, and more specifically, to a conveying unit and a fruit sorting system. Background Technology

[0002] A fruit sorting system is an automated device used to classify and sort fruits of different varieties, sizes, weights, or ripeness. It improves the efficiency and accuracy of fruit sorting and is commonly used in the fruit processing, packaging, and wholesale industries. Depending on the design and functional characteristics of the fruit sorting machine, there are various sorting methods, commonly including: size sorting, weight sorting, appearance quality sorting, and ripeness sorting. The conveyor unit is a crucial sorting component of the fruit sorting system. Most current conveyor units achieve the sorting action by oscillating left and right.

[0003] However, the current conveying units have poor stability when performing flipping operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a conveying unit and a fruit sorting system, which can improve the stability of the conveying unit when it is flipping.

[0005] The embodiments of this utility model can be implemented as follows:

[0006] An embodiment of this utility model provides a conveying unit, which includes:

[0007] Fruit cup;

[0008] The base has a limiting and fixing groove.

[0009] A rotating connector, which is located within the limiting and fixing groove and connected to the base;

[0010] A flip-up bracket, which is connected to the rotating connector;

[0011] A fruit tray holder is movably connected to the flipping bracket, and the fruit tray holder can rotate relative to the flipping bracket; the fruit tray holder is used to mount the fruit cup.

[0012] Adding a rotating connector between the flip-up bracket and the base improves the stability and strength of the connection between them. Furthermore, by creating a limiting and fixing groove and placing the rotating connector within it, the connection strength between the rotating connector and the base is ensured, as well as the stability of the flip-up bracket during the fruit cup's flipping motion. This also restricts the installation position of the rotating connector, simplifying installation time.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the base includes a base body, a first limiting member and a second limiting member protruding from the base body, and the limiting fixing groove includes a first limiting fixing groove and a second limiting fixing groove.

[0014] The first limiting member and the second limiting member are parallel and spaced apart. The first limiting member has a first limiting fixing groove on the side facing the second limiting member, and the second limiting member has a second limiting fixing groove on the side facing the first limiting member. The rotating connector is fixed in the first limiting fixing groove and the second limiting fixing groove, and the rotating connector is connected to the base body.

[0015] By setting the first and second limiting components, the stability of the rotating connector during rotation and the connection strength with the base can be ensured while achieving the connection between the rotating connector and the base. In addition, by opening the first and second limiting fixing grooves, the rotating connector can be inserted into the installation space along the limiting fixing grooves, so as to quickly position the installation position of the rotating connector and the base body, and the rotating connector and the base body can be connected and fixed without the need for assembly personnel to hold it after insertion.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the flipping bracket has a limiting groove, and the base has a limiting protrusion. The limiting groove and the limiting protrusion cooperate to limit the flipping bracket. This design prevents the flipping bracket from moving relative to the base in the X-direction, thereby improving the stability of the flipping bracket during flipping.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the conveying unit further includes a lifting connector connected to the fruit tray bracket. The side of the lifting connector away from the fruit tray bracket is rotatably connected to the flipping support, and the lifting connector is movable relative to the flipping support along the Z-axis. The end of the lifting connector away from the flipping support is rotatably connected to the fruit cup. By providing the lifting connector, the lifting requirements of some fruit sorting systems can be met.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the lifting connector has a strip-shaped hole that extends along the Z-direction; the flipping bracket is provided with a rotating shaft that is installed in the strip-shaped hole, the rotating shaft can rotate within the strip-shaped hole, and the rotating shaft can move along the extending direction of the strip-shaped hole.

[0019] By setting a strip-shaped hole extending along the Z direction, the rotating shaft can float in the Z direction within the strip-shaped hole. This satisfies the lifting requirements of the fruit cup assembly while also limiting the movement of the rotating shaft in other directions.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the lifting connector is detachably connected to the fruit tray bracket. This design facilitates subsequent installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the conveying unit.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the lifting connector is provided with a buckle, and the fruit tray holder has an installation cavity, with the buckle detachably connected to the installation cavity. The buckle and installation cavity enable a detachable connection between the lifting connector and the fruit tray holder, allowing for quick connection and disassembly while ensuring a secure connection and preventing loosening or detachment.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the conveying unit further includes a support member connected to the lifting connector; the support member can abut against or separate from the base. By providing the support member, it can abut against the base during normal fruit transportation, thus ensuring the stability of the overall structure.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the conveying unit further includes a locking structure disposed between the flipping bracket and the fruit tray holder. The locking structure restricts relative rotation between the flipping bracket and the fruit tray holder. By providing the locking structure, when the fruit cup does not need to be flipped, the locking structure locks the flipping bracket and the fruit tray holder in a relative position, preventing relative rotation and thus preventing the fruit cup from tipping over when it is not necessary to flip.

[0024] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a fruit sorting system, including a conveying device and a conveying unit as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the base is connected to the conveying device. This fruit sorting system has the same function as the conveying unit.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the conveying unit and fruit sorting system of this utility model embodiment include, for example:

[0026] The conveying unit includes fruit cups, a base, a rotating connector, a flipping bracket, and a fruit tray holder. The base has a limiting groove; the rotating connector is located within the limiting groove and connected to the base. The flipping bracket is connected to the rotating connector. Adding a rotating connector between the flipping bracket and the base improves the stability and strength of the connection. Furthermore, by creating a limiting groove and placing the rotating connector within it, the connection strength between the rotating connector and the base is ensured, as well as the stability of the flipping bracket during the fruit cup flipping action. It also limits the installation position of the rotating connector, simplifying installation time. The fruit tray holder is movably connected to the flipping bracket and can rotate relative to it; the fruit tray holder is used to hold the fruit cups. The rotation of the fruit tray holder relative to the flipping bracket causes the fruit cups to swing, thus achieving fruit sorting. Attached Figure Description

[0044] A fruit sorting system is an automated device used to classify and sort fruits of different varieties, sizes, weights, or ripeness. It improves the efficiency and accuracy of fruit sorting and is commonly used in the fruit processing, packaging, and wholesale industries. Depending on the design and functional characteristics of the fruit sorting machine, there are various sorting methods, commonly including: size sorting, weight sorting, appearance quality sorting, and ripeness sorting. The basic working principle of a fruit sorting system is as follows: as the fruit passes through the conveyor belt, cameras or sensors installed on the sorting machine capture and detect the fruit in real time, acquiring information such as the fruit's size, weight, color, and surface condition. The system then analyzes the acquired data using algorithms and classifies the fruit into different grades or categories according to set standards (such as size, weight, and color). Sorted fruits are automatically removed by robotic arms or airflow to ensure product quality. Fruits that meet the standards are then sent to different containers or conveyor belts for further processing or packaging. The automated fruit sorting system can quickly sort large quantities of fruit, improving sorting efficiency, saving manpower and time, and reducing labor costs. Furthermore, through sensors and image recognition technology, the fruit sorting system can accurately sort fruit, reducing human error.

[0045] The conveyor unit is a crucial sorting device in the fruit sorting system. However, current conveyor units exhibit poor stability during the flipping motion.

[0046] Based on this, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying unit 1000 provided in the embodiments of this utility model can effectively improve the technical problems mentioned above. The conveying unit 1000 can improve the stability of the flipping bracket 400 during the flipping action. The conveying unit 1000 can be applied to fruit sorting systems or other sorting systems. Systems with the conveying unit 1000 all have the functions mentioned above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] The fruit sorting system in this embodiment includes a conveying device and a conveying unit 1000, with the base 200 of the conveying unit 1000 connected to the conveying device. Fruit cups 100 are used to hold the fruit, and the conveying device drives the conveying unit 1000 to move, thus conveying the fruit. During conveying, the conveying unit 1000 can rotate to sort the fruit. By rotating, the conveying unit 1000 can tilt substandard fruit to one side and standard fruit to the other side, or continue conveying it to a designated location for further processing. Of course, the fruit sorting system may also include information acquisition devices such as visual cameras and sensors to achieve automated sorting. The fruit sorting system may also include other devices to achieve various functions, which are not limited here.

[0048] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the conveying unit 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the conveying unit 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conveying unit 1000 in this embodiment includes a fruit cup 100, a base 200, a rotating connector 300, a flipping bracket 400, and a fruit tray 500. The base 200 has a limiting and fixing groove 210; the rotating connector 300 is located in the limiting and fixing groove 210 and connected to the base 200; the flipping bracket 400 is connected to the rotating connector 300; the fruit tray 500 is movably connected to the flipping bracket 400 and can rotate relative to the flipping bracket 400; the fruit tray 500 is used to install the fruit cup 100; the fruit cup 100 is used to hold fruit. By adding the rotating connector 300 between the flipping bracket 400 and the base 200, the stability and connection strength of the connection between the flipping bracket 400 and the base 200 can be improved. Furthermore, by creating a limiting and fixing groove 210 and placing the rotating connector 300 within it, the connection strength between the rotating connector 300 and the base 200 can be guaranteed, while also ensuring the stability of the flipping bracket 400 during the flipping action of the fruit cup 100. This also limits the installation position of the rotating connector 300, simplifying installation time. The fruit tray 500, by rotating relative to the flipping bracket 400, can cause the fruit cup 100 to swing, thereby achieving fruit sorting.

[0049] To facilitate quick installation of the rotating connector 300, and to ensure the stability of the rotating connector 300 during rotation and the connection strength with the base 200, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2In this embodiment, the base 200 includes a base body 220, a first limiting member 230 and a second limiting member 240 protruding from the base body 220, and a limiting fixing groove 210 including a first limiting fixing groove 231 and a second limiting fixing groove 241. The first limiting member 230 and the second limiting member 240 are parallel and spaced apart. The first limiting member 230 has a first limiting fixing groove 231 on the side facing the second limiting member 240, and the second limiting member 240 has a second limiting fixing groove 241 on the side facing the first limiting member 230. The rotating connector 300 is fixed in the first limiting fixing groove 231 and the second limiting fixing groove 241, and is connected to the base body 220. The first limiting member 230 and the second limiting member 240 are parallel and spaced apart, and together with the base body 220, they enclose an installation space. The rotating connector 300 is disposed within this installation space. By providing a limiting and fixing groove 210 on the side of the first limiting member 230 and the second limiting member 240 facing the installation space, the rotating connector 300 is inserted into the installation space along the limiting and fixing groove 210, so as to quickly position the installation position of the rotating connector 300 and the base body 220. After insertion, the rotating connector 300 and the base body 220 can be connected and fixed without the need for assembly personnel to hold them.

[0050] Figure 3 For a schematic diagram of the conveying unit 1000 that removes the fruit cup 100 and the fruit tray 500 provided in an embodiment of this utility model, please refer to [the diagram]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the rotating connector 300 is snapped into the base body 220. Specifically, the rotating connector 300 is provided with a buckle, and the base body 220 is provided with a slot. The buckle and the slot cooperate to achieve the snap-fit ​​connection between the rotating connector 300 and the base body 220. Of course, a slot can also be provided on the rotating connector 300, and a buckle structure that cooperates with the slot can be provided on the base 200 to achieve the snap-fit ​​connection between the rotating connector 300 and the base body 220. In addition, other snap-fit ​​structures can be provided on the rotating connector 300 and the base body 220, which are not limited here. The snap-fit ​​connection between the base body 220 and the rotating connector 300 can achieve quick assembly and disassembly, thereby reducing installation and maintenance time. Of course, the rotating connector 300 can also be connected to the base body 220 using threaded fasteners, such as bolts or screws. The rotating connector 300 can also be fixedly connected to the base body 220, such as by welding or riveting, which are not limited here.

[0051] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the assembly process of the base 200, rotating connector 300, and flip bracket 400 provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Please continue reading. Figure 3 and combined Figure 4The aforementioned "connection between the flip bracket 400 and the rotary connector 300" specifically refers to the connection between the flip bracket 400 and the rotary connector 300 using threaded fasteners. Specifically, the rotary connector 300 has a mounting hole, and the flip bracket 400 has a protrusion with a threaded hole inside. The protrusion is inserted into the mounting hole, and threaded fasteners such as bolts or screws pass through the threaded hole to achieve the connection between the flip bracket 400 and the rotary connector 300. Of course, the flip bracket 400 and the rotary connector 300 can also use other connection methods such as snap-fit ​​or welding, which are not limited here. Furthermore, to facilitate the positioning and installation of the flip bracket 400 and the rotary connector 300, the flip bracket 400 in this embodiment is provided with a hook, and the rotary connector 300 is correspondingly provided with a boss. The hook and boss cooperate to align the threaded hole and the mounting hole, thereby achieving rapid positioning and assembly of the flip bracket 400 and the rotary connector 300. Furthermore, the above design ensures that the flipping bracket 400 will not shift along the Z-axis, thereby improving the stability of the flipping bracket 400 during the flipping action. Of course, other positioning structures can also be used, and this is not limited here.

[0052] To prevent the flip bracket 400 from moving relative to the base 200 in the X direction, which is perpendicular to the Z direction, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 and combined Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the flip bracket 400 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the flip bracket 400 has a limiting groove 410, and the base 200 has a limiting protrusion 250. The limiting groove 410 and the limiting protrusion 250 cooperate to limit the flip bracket 400. Alternatively, the limiting protrusion 250 can be provided on the flip bracket 400, and the limiting groove 410 that cooperates with the limiting protrusion 250 can be provided on the base 200 to limit the flip bracket 400. Through the above design, the flip bracket 400 will not move relative to the base 200 in the X-direction, thereby improving the stability of the flip bracket 400 during the flipping action.

[0053] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the lifting connector 600 and the fruit tray bracket 500 provided in the embodiments of this utility model; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the lifting process of the conveying unit 1000 provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 8In this embodiment, the conveying unit 1000 further includes a lifting connector 600, which is connected to the fruit tray bracket 500. The side of the lifting connector 600 away from the fruit tray bracket 500 is rotatably connected to the flipping bracket 400, and the lifting connector 600 can move relative to the flipping bracket 400 along the Z-direction. The end of the lifting connector 600 away from the flipping bracket 400 is rotatably connected to the fruit cup 100. By setting the lifting connector 600, the lifting requirements of some fruit sorting systems can be met. Specifically, the lifting connector 600 has a strip-shaped hole 610 extending along the Z-direction; the flipping bracket 400 is provided with a rotating shaft 420, which is installed in the strip-shaped hole 610 and can rotate within the strip-shaped hole 610, and can move along the extending direction of the strip-shaped hole 610. By providing a strip-shaped hole 610 extending along the Z-direction, the rotating shaft 420 can float within the strip-shaped hole 610 along the Z-direction, which not only meets the lifting requirements of the conveying unit 1000 but also limits the movement of the rotating shaft 420 in other directions. In addition, in some embodiments, the lifting connector 600 can also achieve lifting or retraction at a certain angle.

[0054] Figure 6 For an overall schematic diagram of the base 200, rotating connector 300, and flipping bracket 400 provided in an embodiment of this utility model, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 To facilitate installation, disassembly, and maintenance, the lifting connector 600 in this embodiment is detachably connected to the fruit tray holder 500. Specifically, the lifting connector 600 in this embodiment is provided with a buckle 620, and the fruit tray holder 500 has an installation cavity 510. The buckle 620 is detachably connected to the installation cavity 510 to achieve a detachable connection between the lifting connector 600 and the fruit tray holder 500. The buckle 620 includes a connecting part and a fastening part. The connecting part is connected to the lifting connector 600; the fastening part is connected to the connecting part and is located away from the lifting connector 600. The fastening part is used to engage with the installation cavity 510. In this embodiment, the fastening part is L-shaped, passes through the installation cavity 510, and can engage with the side wall of the installation cavity 510 to achieve a connection between the lifting connector 600 and the fruit tray holder 500. Of course, the fastening part and the mounting cavity 510 can also be designed in other shapes, as long as they can achieve a detachable connection between the lifting connector 600 and the fruit tray bracket 500, and no limitation is made here.

[0055] Because the Hook & Loop 620 connection requires no tools or only simple tools, it significantly reduces assembly and disassembly time. Furthermore, the Hook & Loop 620 design is typically self-locking, allowing for quick connection and disassembly without complex operations, saving considerable labor costs. Hook & Loop 620 connections usually have a robust locking mechanism to ensure a secure connection and prevent loosening or detachment. Moreover, the structure of the Hook & Loop 620 connection automatically adapts to pressure without generating excessive friction, which helps extend the lifespan of equipment or structures, especially under frequent assembly and disassembly conditions.

[0056] Alternatively, a mounting cavity 510 may be provided on the lifting connector 600, and a latch 620 that mates with the mounting cavity 510 may be provided on the fruit tray bracket 500. The lifting connector 600 and the fruit tray bracket 500 may also be connected by a detachable connection method such as snap-fit, which is not limited here. Of course, the lifting connector 600 and the fruit tray bracket 500 may also be fixedly connected by a shaft or other means, which is not limited here.

[0057] To ensure the overall structural strength of the conveying unit 1000 and its stability during normal transportation, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 8 and combined Figure 2 In this embodiment, the conveying unit 1000 further includes a support member 700, which is connected to the lifting connector 600. The support member 700 can abut against or separate from the base 200. During normal fruit transportation, the support member 700 and the base 200 are in abutting state to ensure the stability of the overall structure. When the lifting connector 600 is raised to a certain height, that is, after moving a certain distance upward along the Z direction, the support member 700 and the base 200 are separated to prevent the support member 700 from restricting the rotation of the fruit cup 100.

[0058] In addition, to prevent the fruit cup 100 from tipping over when it is not necessary to flip it, and to improve sorting efficiency, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the rotating state of the conveying unit 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The conveying unit 1000 in this embodiment further includes a locking structure 800, which is disposed between the flipping bracket 400 and the fruit tray holder 500. The locking structure 800 restricts the relative rotation of the flipping bracket 400 and the fruit tray holder 500. When the fruit cup 100 does not need to be flipped, the locking structure 800 locks the flipping bracket 400 and the fruit tray holder 500 relative to each other, preventing relative rotation. When the fruit cup 100 needs to be flipped, the locking structure 800 between the flipping bracket 400 and the fruit tray holder 500 disengages, allowing the fruit tray holder 500 to rotate freely relative to the flipping bracket 400.

[0059] Specifically, the locking structure 800 in this embodiment includes a snap-fit ​​structure and a slot. The end of the flip-up bracket 400 connected to the fruit tray holder 500 or the lifting connector 600 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, and the fruit tray holder 500 or the lifting connector 600 has a slot. The snap-fit ​​structure and the slot cooperate to achieve locking. Of course, the locking structure 800 can also be designed in other structural forms, which are not limited here. Please continue reading. Figure 9 Under the action of external force, when the lifting connector 600 floats up, the buckle structure disconnects from the slot, and the flipping bracket 400 and the fruit tray bracket 500 can rotate freely; under the action of external force, the lifting connector 600, the fruit tray bracket 500 and the fruit cup 100 can swing within a certain range to achieve fruit sorting.

[0060] In summary, the conveying unit 1000 includes a fruit cup 100, a base 200, a rotating connector 300, a flipping bracket 400, and a fruit tray holder 500. The base 200 has a limiting and fixing groove 210; the rotating connector 300 is located within the limiting and fixing groove 210 and connected to the base 200; the flipping bracket 400 is connected to the rotating connector 300; the fruit tray holder 500 is movably connected to the flipping bracket 400 and can rotate relative to the flipping bracket 400; the fruit tray holder 500 is used to mount the fruit cup 100. Adding the rotating connector 300 between the flipping bracket 400 and the base 200 improves the stability and strength of the connection between the flipping bracket 400 and the base 200. Furthermore, by providing the limiting and fixing groove 210 and placing the rotating connector 300 within it, the connection strength between the rotating connector 300 and the base 200 is ensured while limiting the installation position of the rotating connector 300, simplifying installation time. The fruit tray 500 can rotate relative to the flipping bracket 400 to drive the fruit cup 100 to swing, thereby achieving the sorting of fruits.

[0061] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto.
