Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting technology, and specifically to a transmission component for training a fruit and vegetable sorting system. Background Technology

[0002] Before being put into use, existing fruit and vegetable sorting systems need to undergo a crucial learning process. This involves manually selecting and photographing different fruits and vegetables in images, using this as a basis for training the system to accurately identify and sort various types of produce. In the initial training phase, to ensure that the characteristics of each fruit and vegetable are clearly captured in images, and to facilitate manual selection to aid system learning, placement equipment is typically used to arrange the fruits and vegetables in an orderly manner, ensuring appropriate spacing between them.

[0003] Current sorting equipment suffers from several problems that urgently need to be addressed. Firstly, due to the wide variety of fruits and vegetables, varying in size and shape, existing equipment often cannot adapt to the characteristics of different types. Secondly, existing equipment is significantly insufficient in terms of sorting speed. Due to limitations in its mechanical structure and control system, the equipment requires frequent parameter adjustments and operations when handling fruits and vegetables of different sizes and shapes, which undoubtedly reduces the sorting speed considerably. During the training process of a fruit and vegetable sorting system, a large number of fruits and vegetables need to be sorted quickly and accurately to improve learning efficiency. A slow sorting speed not only prolongs training time and increases manpower and time costs, but may also lead to untimely collection of training data, affecting the system's learning effect and final sorting performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the existing technology that fruits and vegetables cannot be transported efficiently and with low damage intervals to assist the fruit and vegetable sorting system in learning, and to provide a transmission component for training the fruit and vegetable sorting system.

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transmission component for a training fruit and vegetable sorting system, which has a support frame and two drive rollers mounted on the support frame. Each drive roller is driven by a drive component, and the two drive rollers are connected by multiple transmission belts. A separation transmission area is formed between two adjacent transmission belts, which can laterally separate fruits and vegetables, allowing the fruits and vegetables to be transported in a row.

[0006] A separation assembly is provided between the two drive rollers. The separation assembly includes a support shaft rotatably mounted on a support frame. Both ends of the support shaft are provided with transmission wheels that are frictionally driven with the corresponding transmission belts. Separators are provided on the outer periphery of the support shaft at the corresponding separation transmission area to longitudinally separate the fruits and vegetables in the separation transmission area.

[0007] As a further optimization of the transmission component of the training fruit and vegetable sorting system of this utility model: the separator includes a plurality of separator bars evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the support shaft, and the ends of the separator bars away from the support shaft are located in the separation transmission area.

[0008] As a further optimization of the transmission component of the training fruit and vegetable sorting system of this utility model: multiple auxiliary wheels are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the support shaft, and the multiple auxiliary wheels are driven by friction with the inner surface of multiple transmission belts at the center.

[0009] As a further optimization of the transmission component of the training fruit and vegetable sorting system of this utility model: the material of the separator bar is elastic rubber.

[0010] As a further optimization of the transmission component of the training fruit and vegetable sorting system of this utility model: the separator includes two positioning seats rotatably mounted on the support shaft. The two positioning seats are fixedly connected to the positioning columns fixed on the support frame. The two positioning seats are rotatably mounted on the support shaft at the corresponding positions. The support shaft is evenly provided with a plurality of reduction wheels with outer circumferences corresponding to the separation transmission areas. The reduction wheels are frictionally driven with the outer circumference of the support shaft so that the reduction wheels rotate in the opposite direction relative to the support shaft.

[0011] As a further optimization of the transmission component of the training fruit and vegetable sorting system of this utility model: the outer circumferential surface of the reduction wheel is provided with an elastic rubber layer.

[0012] As a further optimization of the transmission component of the fruit and vegetable sorting system of this utility model: the side of the transmission belt corresponding to the separation transmission area is set with an incline, and the lower end of the incline is set close to the separation transmission area to guide the fruits and vegetables into the separation transmission area.

[0013] As a further optimization of the transmission component of the training fruit and vegetable sorting system of this utility model: the cross-section of the transmission wheel is T-shaped, and the major diameter of the transmission wheel extends beyond the transmission belt.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention utilizes multiple drive belts working together to form a separating transport zone. This ingenious design quickly separates fruits and vegetables placed on it, allowing for even transport in rows. Simultaneously, the separating transport zone works in conjunction with a belt-driven separating component, which further separates the multiple rows of fruits and vegetables more clearly and neatly. This arrangement greatly facilitates subsequent image selection by workers in the sorting system, effectively assisting the system in quickly learning the characteristics and location information of different fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, the combination of multiple drive belts and the separating component provides high-efficiency performance, enabling rapid separation of large quantities of fruits and vegetables, significantly improving work efficiency. It also has good adaptability, capable of handling fruits and vegetables of different shapes, whether round, oval, or irregular, allowing for effective separation and transport. More importantly, the separating components minimize the probability of damage to the surface of the fruits and vegetables, maximizing their quality and integrity. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate the content of this utility model, but the content of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] <Example 1>

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a transmission component for training a fruit and vegetable sorting system has two drive rollers 3 securely supported by a support frame 1. Each drive roller 3 is driven by a motor, and the two drive rollers 3 are connected by multiple spaced transmission belts 2. When the motor starts rotating, it, through the corresponding drive roller 3 and in conjunction with the tensioning effect of the other drive roller 3 on the transmission belts 2, enables the multiple transmission belts 2 to rotate stably, thus smoothly transporting the fruits and vegetables. The intervals between the multiple transmission belts 2 form separated transmission zones. This ingenious arrangement of separated transmission zones allows fruits and vegetables placed on the multiple transmission belts 2 to be transported in multiple uniform rows.

[0024] A separating assembly 4, which is driven by a transmission belt 2, is positioned on the support frame 1 between the two drive rollers 3. This separating assembly 4 includes a support shaft 403 rotatably mounted on the support frame 1, on which two drive wheels 401 and multiple auxiliary wheels 402 are mounted. Notably, drive wheels 401 are mounted at both ends of the support shaft 403, and both drive wheels 401 have a T-shaped cross-section. The two drive wheels 401 respectively engage in frictional transmission with the two transmission belts 2 at their edges. This transmission method enables the support shaft 403 to rotate stably. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the drive wheels 401 with their larger diameter extending beyond the transmission belts 2 also helps to restrict the position of fruits and vegetables passing through the drive wheels 401, significantly reducing the probability of fruits and vegetables falling off and improving the stability of the transmission process. Meanwhile, multiple auxiliary wheels 402 engage in frictional transmission with the inner surfaces of multiple central transmission belts 2. This not only further drives the stable rotation of the support shaft 403, but also helps maintain the tension of the multiple transmission belts 2, thus ensuring the stability of the multiple transmission belts 2 when transporting fruits and vegetables. When the multiple support shafts 403 rotate stably, they drive the multiple separator bars 4041 set on their surfaces and corresponding to the separation of the transmission areas to rotate stably as well. These separator bars 4041 can push the fruits and vegetables in the separation transmission area to separate them, thus providing great convenience for staff to train and learn how to operate the sorting system.

[0025] Furthermore, each of the multiple conveyor belts 2 has a sloped side corresponding to one side of the separating conveyor area, with the lower end of the slope positioned close to the separating conveyor area. This sloped design has significant advantages, allowing fruits and vegetables to enter the separating conveyor area more efficiently and relatively stably, and be conveyed in rows, thus smoothly entering the subsequent sorting system for sorting. It is particularly noteworthy that the separator bars 4041 are made of elastic rubber, which effectively reduces damage to the surface of fruits and vegetables when separating them, maximizing the protection of their integrity and quality.

[0026] <Example 2>

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is basically similar to that of Embodiment 1, but there are some differences. In this embodiment, two positioning seats 4042 are rotatably mounted on the support shaft 403. These two positioning seats 4042 are fixed by positioning columns 4043 that are fixedly connected to the support frame 1. The two positioning seats 4042 are arranged between any two transmission belts 2 and are rotatably connected to a bearing shaft 4045. Reduction wheels 4044 are evenly distributed on the bearing shaft 4045. These reduction wheels 4044 are driven by friction with the support shaft 403, and their rotation direction is opposite to the rotation direction of the bearing shaft 4045 and the transmission belt 2. The positions of the multiple reduction wheels 4044 correspond to multiple separation and transmission zones. When fruits and vegetables pass through the separation and transmission zones, the reduction wheels 4044 can decelerate them. At the same time, in conjunction with the high-speed transmission of the separation and transmission zones, the fruits and vegetables transported in a row can be evenly separated, creating good conditions for workers to train and learn the sorting system later. In particular, the surface of the reduction wheel 4044 is covered with an elastic rubber layer, which can protect the surface of fruits and vegetables during the deceleration process and prevent damage to the surface of fruits and vegetables due to deceleration.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model.
