[0021] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a fruit and peel sorting device includes a first conveying device 4, a second conveying device 5, and a flipping plate 6. The first conveying device 4 and the second conveying device 5 are arranged side by side. The flipping plate 6 is positioned between the first conveying device 4 and the second conveying device 5 along their length. The flipping plate 6 swings between the first conveying device 4 and the second conveying device 5, guiding objects falling from above into either the first conveying device 4 or the second conveying device 5. During fruit processing, such as peeling and pitting, the peel and pit fall into the first conveying device 4 under the guidance of the flipping plate 6. After processing, the fruit enters the second conveying device 5 under the guidance of the flipping plate 6, thus achieving the purpose of sorting the fruit and peel.

[0023] The first conveying device 4 includes an auger trough 41 and an auger 42 disposed within the auger trough 41, the auger 42 being arranged along the length of the auger trough 41. Fruit peels and other debris entering the first conveying device 4 are transported to one end by the rotation of the auger 42, where they are centrally processed.

[0024] The first conveying device 4 also includes a first baffle plate 43, which is arranged along the length of the auger trough 41 and is located on the side of the auger trough 41 away from the second conveying device 5. The first baffle plate 43 prevents fruit peels and other debris from failing to fall accurately into the auger trough 41, thus ensuring complete collection of the debris and preventing it from affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Analysis of the first baffle plate 43 shows that it is fixedly connected to one side of the auger trough 41, preventing fruit peels and other debris from falling between the auger trough 41 and the first baffle plate 43, thus avoiding interference with the collection of the debris.

[0025] The second conveying device 5 includes a conveyor belt 51 and a conveyor support 52, with the conveyor belt 51 arranged around the conveyor support 52. The conveyor support 52 is used to mount the conveyor belt 51, which transports peeled fruit. Because the conveyor belt 51 provides a smoother transport process and does not damage the peeled fruit, the peeled fruit is transported using the conveyor belt 51.

[0026] The second conveying device 5 also includes a second baffle plate 53, which is arranged along the length of the conveying support 52 and is located on the side of the conveying support 52 away from the first conveying device. The second baffle plate 53 is used to block fruit falling from a height, preventing the fruit from not falling accurately into the conveyor belt 51 or from rolling off the conveyor belt 51 onto the ground or inside the machine after falling in, thus avoiding fruit waste or the rolling fruit affecting the normal operation of the equipment and its production efficiency.

[0027] It also includes a flipping bracket 7, a first flipping pin 71, and a second flipping pin 72. The first flipping pin 71 is located at one end of the flipping plate 6, and the second flipping pin 72 is located at the other end of the flipping plate 6. The first flipping pin 71 and the second flipping pin 72 are inserted into the flipping bracket 7. The flipping plate 6 is a long strip of plate. In order to enable the flipping plate 6 to swing and guide the fruit or peel falling from a height into the second transmission device 5 or the first transmission device 4, the first flipping pin 71 is installed at one end of the flipping plate 6, and the second flipping pin 72 is installed at the other end. The first flipping pin 71 and the second flipping pin 72 are inserted into the flipping bracket 7 to realize the swinging of the flipping plate 6.

[0028] It also includes a first tilting cylinder 81 and a second tilting cylinder 82. One end of each of the first tilting cylinder 81 and the second tilting cylinder 82 is connected to the tilting bracket 7, and the other end of each is hinged to the tilting plate 6. The two cylinders, the first tilting cylinder 81 and the second tilting cylinder 82, operate synchronously. When the tilting plate 6 moves in one direction, one cylinder applies a pushing force to the tilting plate 6, and the other cylinder applies a pulling force to the tilting plate 6. When the tilting plate 6 moves in the other direction, the order of applying the pushing force and the pulling force of the first tilting cylinder 81 and the second tilting cylinder 82 is switched.

[0029] The auger trough 41 is driven by an auger motor 44, and the conveyor belt 51 is driven by a conveyor motor 54.

[0030] It also includes several connectors 1, peelers 2, and pushers 3, each corresponding to a different connector 1. Each connector 1 has at least one connector pin 11. The pusher 3 is positioned around the connector pin 11 and moves back and forth along the length of the connector pin 11. The peeler 2 moves around the connector 1. When fruit is inserted into the connector pin 11, after the peeler 2 has finished peeling, the pusher 3 applies a pushing force to the fruit, causing it to detach from the connector pin 11.

[0031] The pusher plate 3 is provided with a pusher groove 31, and the plug seat 1 is disposed in the pusher groove 31. The pusher groove 31 moves back and forth along the length direction of the plug pin 11 with the pusher plate 3.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
