Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting technology, and in particular to an output 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, fruit and vegetable sorting machines are typically arranged in factories with limited space. The output structure of the fruit and vegetable sorting machine can include multiple output channels, which are located on one side of the output structure. The output end of the output channel can be connected to the packaging area, allowing users to package the sorted fruits and vegetables.

[0004] However, packaging fruits and vegetables requires a certain amount of space, which means that space needs to be reserved between two adjacent output channels for packaging, resulting in a larger installation space for the output structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an output structure for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine and a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that space needs to be reserved between two adjacent output channels for packaging, resulting in a larger installation space for the output structure.

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

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

[0008] Conveying components;

[0009] The first output component, there are multiple first output components, the input end of the first output component is connected to the conveying component, all the first output components are located on the same side of the conveying component and the conveying directions are parallel to each other;

[0010] The second output component is located on the same side of the conveying component as the first output component. The input end of the second output component is connected to the conveying component. The length of the second output component is less than the length of the first output component. The second output component is located between two adjacent first output components.

[0011] With the above structure, the length of the second output component is less than that of the first output component. The second output component is located between two adjacent first output components. Both the output ends of the first and second output components can be provided with packaging areas for packaging fruits and vegetables. The packaging area corresponding to the first output component is farther away from the conveying component, while the packaging area corresponding to the second output component is closer to the conveying component. This allows the packaging areas corresponding to the first and second output components to be staggered, thereby reducing the distance between the second output component and the adjacent first output component and thus reducing the installation space of the entire output structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second output component is tilted, with its output terminal lower than its input terminal and its output terminal lower than the output terminal of the first output component.

[0013] With the above structure, the second output component is tilted, and the output end of the second output component is lower than the input end of the second output component, so that in the vertical direction, the packaging area corresponding to the second output component is staggered from the packaging area corresponding to the second output component, which can further reduce the distance between the second output component and the adjacent first output component, thereby further reducing the installation space of the entire output structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the output structure further includes:

[0015] The third output component has its input end connected to the output end of the second output component. In the horizontal direction, the conveying direction of the second output component is parallel to the conveying direction of the first output component, and the conveying direction of the third output component forms a preset angle with the conveying direction of the second output component. The third output component is disposed below one of the first output components.

[0016] With the above structure, the third output component is disposed below a first output component, so that the packaging area at the output end of the third output component can be located on one side of a first output component, thereby giving the packaging area corresponding to the third output component more space. At the same time, there is no need to reserve space between the two first output components for the packaging area corresponding to the third output component, so that the interval between the first output component and the adjacent second output component can be smaller.

[0017] In addition, the second output component is tilted, with its output end lower than that of the first output component, so that the third output component can pass through the first output component from below.

[0018] In some embodiments, the third output component is tilted, with the input terminal of the third output component being lower than the output terminal of the third output component.

[0019] With the above structure, the third output component is tilted, and the input end of the third output component is lower than the output end of the third output component; so that while the third output component can pass through the first output component from below, the output end of the third output component can be higher, making it easier for users to package fruits and vegetables at the output end of the third output component.

[0020] In some embodiments, the height of the output terminal of the third output component is equal to the height of the output terminal of the first output component.

[0021] With the above structure, the packaging area corresponding to the third output component is at the same height as the packaging area corresponding to the first output component, so that the height of all packaging areas corresponding to the output structure is equal, so that users can package fruits and vegetables in the packaging area.

[0022] In some embodiments, the input terminal of the third output component is lower than the output terminal of the second output component.

[0023] With the above structure, the input end of the third output component is lower than the output end of the second output component, so that the fruits and vegetables at the output end of the second output component can fall into the input end of the third output component, thereby reducing the possibility of the fruits and vegetables detaching from the output structure.

[0024] In some embodiments, the output structure further includes:

[0025] A fourth output component, wherein the fourth output component and the first output component are located on the same side of the conveying component, the input end of the fourth output component is connected to the conveying component, and the length of the fourth output component is less than the length of the first output component;

[0026] The number of the first output components is two, the number of the second output components and the number of the third output components are one each, and the output ends of the fourth output components and the third output components are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the conveying components.

[0027] With the above structure, the length of the fourth output component is less than the length of the first output component. The output ends of the fourth output component and the third output component are arranged sequentially in the direction away from the conveying component, so that the packaging area at the output end of the fourth output component, the packaging area at the output end of the third output component, and the packaging area at the output end of the first output component are arranged sequentially. As a result, in the conveying direction of the conveying component, the space occupied by all packaging areas is smaller, and the installation space of the output structure is more compact.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first output component includes:

[0029] frame;

[0030] A tripod, which is mounted on the bottom of the frame and is used to support the frame;

[0031] A drive component, the drive component being mounted on the frame;

[0032] A conveyor belt component is mounted on the frame, and a drive component is used to drive the conveyor belt component to move.

[0033] With the above structure, the legs can support the frame so that the drive components and conveyor belt components can be stably installed on the frame, and there is a gap between the frame and the ground so that the third conveying component can pass under the frame and through the first conveying component.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first output component further includes:

[0035] A guide member is mounted on the frame and located at the output end of the first output component. One end of the guide member is located below the conveyor belt component, and the guide member is inclined downward in the direction away from the conveyor belt component.

[0036] With the above structure, the guide can guide the fruits and vegetables at the output end of the conveyor belt component, so that the fruits and vegetables can fall stably into the corresponding packaging area to avoid damage.

[0037] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including the output structure described in any of the above embodiments.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the length of the second output component is less than that of the first output component. The second output component is located between two adjacent first output components. Both the output ends of the first and second output components can be provided with packaging areas for packaging fruits and vegetables. The packaging area corresponding to the first output component is farther away from the conveying component, while the packaging area corresponding to the second output component is closer to the conveying component. This allows the packaging areas corresponding to the first and second output components to be staggered, thereby reducing the distance between the second output component and the adjacent first output component and thus reducing the installation space of the entire output structure.

[0048] The following description, in conjunction with all the accompanying drawings, details an output structure 100 for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine provided in this application, and a specific embodiment.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this utility model discloses an output structure 100 for a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including a conveying component 10, a first output component 20, and a second output component 30; there are multiple first output components 20, the input end of the first output component 20 is connected to the conveying component 10, all the first output components 20 are located on the same side of the conveying component 10 and the conveying directions are parallel to each other; the second output component 30 and the first output component 20 are located on the same side of the conveying component 10, the input end of the second output component 30 is connected to the conveying component 10, the length of the second output component 30 is less than the length of the first output component 20, and the second output component 30 is located between two adjacent first output components 20.

[0050] With the above structure, the length of the second output component 30 is less than the length of the first output component 20. The second output component 30 is located between two adjacent first output components 20. Both the output ends of the first output component 20 and the output ends of the second output component 30 can be provided with packaging areas for packaging fruits and vegetables. The packaging area corresponding to the first output component 20 is farther away from the conveying component 10, and the packaging area corresponding to the second output component 30 is closer to the conveying component 10, so that the packaging areas corresponding to the first output component 20 and the packaging areas corresponding to the second output component 30 are staggered. As a result, the distance between the second output component 30 and the adjacent first output component 20 can be smaller, thereby reducing the installation space of the entire output structure 100.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying component 10, the first output component 20, and the second output component 30 can all include a motor-driven conveyor belt; in the horizontal direction, the conveying direction of the first output component 20 and the conveying direction of the second output component 30 are parallel to each other, the conveying direction of the first output component 20 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying component 10, and the height of the output end of the first output component 20 is greater than the height of the output end of the second output component 30.

[0052] In other embodiments, the conveying component 10, the first output component 20, and the second output component 30 may also be other structures, such as a transmission chain; the conveying direction of the first output component 20 and the conveying direction of the conveying component 10 may also form other included angles, such as 45°; the height of the output end of the first output component 20 may also be equal to or less than the height of the output end of the second output component 30.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second output component 30 is tilted, and the output terminal of the second output component 30 is lower than the input terminal of the second output component 30, and the output terminal of the second output component 30 is lower than the output terminal of the first output component 20.

[0054] With the above structure, the second output component 30 is tilted, and the output end of the second output component 30 is lower than the input end of the second output component 30. The output end of the second output component 30 is also lower than the output end of the first output component 20. This makes the packaging area corresponding to the second output component 30 staggered from the packaging area corresponding to the second output component 30 in the vertical direction. This can further reduce the distance between the second output component 30 and the adjacent first output component 20, thereby further reducing the installation space of the entire output structure 100.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the input terminal of the first output component 20 is at the same height as the input terminal of the second output component 30. In other embodiments, the input terminal of the first output component 20 may be higher or lower than the input terminal of the second output component 30.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the output structure 100 further includes a third output component 40, the input end of which is connected to the output end of the second output component 30. In the horizontal direction, the conveying direction of the second output component 30 is parallel to the conveying direction of the first output component 20, and the conveying direction of the third output component 40 forms a preset angle with the conveying direction of the second output component 30. The third output component 40 is disposed below a first output component 20.

[0057] With the above structure, the third output component 40 is disposed below a first output component 20, so that the packaging area at the output end of the third output component 40 can be located on one side of a first output component 20, thereby giving the packaging area corresponding to the third output component 40 more space. At the same time, there is no need to reserve space between the two first output components 20 for the packaging area corresponding to the third output component 40, so that the interval between the first output component 20 and the adjacent second output component 30 can be smaller.

[0058] In addition, the second output component 30 is tilted, and the output end of the second output component 30 is lower than the output end of the first output component 20, so that the third output component 40 can pass through the first output component 20 from below.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the third output component 40 may include a conveyor belt driven by a motor; in the horizontal direction, the conveying direction of the third output component 40 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second output component 30; the third output component 40 is inclined, and the height of the output end of the third output component 40 is greater than the height of the input end of the third output component 40.

[0060] In other embodiments, the third output component 40 may also be of other structures, such as including a motor-driven conveyor chain; in the horizontal direction, the conveying direction of the third output component 40 may also be at other angles with the conveying direction of the second output component 30, such as 60°.

[0061] In some embodiments, the third output component 40 is tilted, and the input terminal of the third output component 40 is lower than the output terminal of the third output component 40.

[0062] With the above structure, the third output component 40 is tilted, and the input end of the third output component 40 is lower than the output end of the third output component 40; so that while the third output component 40 can pass through the first output component 20 from below, the output end of the third output component 40 can be higher, making it easier for users to package fruits and vegetables at the output end of the third output component 40.

[0063] Specifically, in other embodiments, the conveying direction of the third output component 40 may also be parallel to the horizontal plane, so that the height of the input end of the third output component 40 is equal to the height of the output end of the third output component 40.

[0064] In some embodiments, the height of the output terminal of the third output component 40 is equal to the height of the output terminal of the first output component 20.

[0065] With the above structure, the packaging area corresponding to the third output component 40 is at the same height as the packaging area corresponding to the first output component 20, so that the height of all packaging areas corresponding to the output structure 100 is equal, so that users can package fruits and vegetables in the packaging area.

[0066] In other embodiments, the height of the output terminal of the third output component 40 may be greater than or less than the height of the output terminal of the first output component 20.

[0067] In some embodiments, the input terminal of the third output component 40 is lower than the output terminal of the second output component 30.

[0068] With the above structure, the input end of the third output component 40 is lower than the output end of the second output component 30, so that the fruits and vegetables at the output end of the second output component 30 can fall into the input end of the third output component 40, thereby reducing the possibility of the fruits and vegetables detaching from the output structure 100.

[0069] Specifically, the input terminal of the third output component 40 is located directly below the output terminal of the second output component 30.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the output structure 100 further includes a fourth output component 50, which is located on the same side of the conveying component 10 as the first output component 20. The input end of the fourth output component 50 is connected to the conveying component 10, and the length of the fourth output component 50 is less than the length of the first output component 20. There are two first output components 20, and one second output component 30 and one third output component 40. The output ends of the fourth output component 50 and the third output component 40 are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the conveying component 10.

[0071] With the above structure, the length of the fourth output component 50 is less than the length of the first output component 20. The output ends of the fourth output component 50 and the third output component 40 are arranged sequentially in the direction away from the conveying component 10, so that the packaging area at the output end of the fourth output component 50, the packaging area at the output end of the third output component 40, and the packaging area at the output end of the first output component 20 are arranged sequentially. As a result, in the conveying direction of the conveying component 10, the space occupied by all packaging areas is smaller, and the installation space of the output structure 100 is more compact.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth output component 50 may include a motor-driven conveyor belt; in other embodiments, the fourth output component 50 may also be other structures, such as a motor-driven conveyor sprocket structure.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first output component 20 includes a frame 21, a stand 22, a drive component 23, and a conveyor belt component 24. The stand 22 is mounted on the bottom of the frame 21 and is used to support the frame 21. The drive component 23 is mounted on the frame 21. The conveyor belt component 24 is mounted on the frame 21 and is used to drive the conveyor belt component 24 to move.

[0074] With the above structure, the stand 22 can support the frame 21 so that the drive component 23 and the conveyor belt component 24 can be stably installed on the frame 21, and there is a gap between the frame 21 and the ground so that the third conveying component 40 can pass under the frame 21 and through the first conveying component 10.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 21 has a cross-section similar to a "U" shape. The frame 21 has a mounting groove 2102. The drive component 23 is fixed to one side of the frame 21. The conveyor belt component 24 is installed in the mounting groove 2102. Both ends of the conveyor belt component 24 can be fitted onto rollers. One of the rollers is driven by the drive component 23. The foot 22 is made of strip steel. The foot 22 can be set perpendicular to the ground. The upper end of the foot 22 is fixed to the bottom of the frame 21 by screws.

[0076] In other embodiments, the frame 21 may also be other structures, such as a plate structure arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, with the conveyor belt component 24 mounted on the upper surface of the frame 21.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first output component 20 further includes a guide 25, which is mounted on the frame 21 and located at the output end of the first output component 20. One end of the guide 25 is located below the conveyor belt component 24, and the guide 25 is inclined downward in the direction away from the conveyor belt component 24.

[0078] With the above structure, the guide member 25 can guide the fruits and vegetables at the output end of the conveyor belt component 24 so that the fruits and vegetables can fall stably into the corresponding packaging area to avoid damage to the fruits and vegetables.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide member 25 can be an inclined block structure, with the side of the guide member 25 facing the conveyor belt component 24 being higher and the side of the guide member 25 away from the conveyor belt component 24 being lower, and the top of the guide member 25 being a smooth curved surface.

[0080] In other embodiments, the guide 25 may also have other structures, such as a smooth arc surface on the upper surface of the guide 25, and an arched upper surface of the guide 25.
