[0002] Sorting technology is a technique for classifying and screening materials according to specific properties or characteristics. It has wide applications in various fields, such as solid waste treatment, cell biology research, industrial production, agriculture, and plastics and glass recycling.

[0003] In agriculture, walnut sorting is a crucial step in ensuring walnut quality and improving production efficiency, directly impacting the quality and economic benefits of walnut products. With technological advancements, walnut sorting technology has evolved from traditional manual sorting to intelligent and automated sorting systems.

[0004] In existing sorting systems, feeding is achieved using spiral feeders or conveyor belts. Although this achieves automation and improves sorting efficiency, walnuts are fed in batches and cannot be arranged for orderly feeding. This results in a huge number of walnuts being sorted, which can easily lead to omissions and affect sorting accuracy, leaving room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve the aforementioned technical problem in the prior art where walnuts are fed in batches, making it impossible to arrange them in an orderly manner, resulting in a large number of walnuts being processed during sorting, which easily leads to omissions and affects sorting accuracy.

[0007] The arranging box is provided with a feed inlet; the arranging box is provided with an arranging structure, the arranging structure includes a drive motor provided on one side of the arranging box, the drive motor extends into the arranging box and is provided with a rotating shaft, the end of the rotating shaft away from the drive motor is rotatably connected to the inner side of the arranging box; an arranging roller is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft, the arranging roller is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves along the circumference, the lower end of the receiving grooves is arc-shaped; arc-shaped covers are provided on both sides of the arranging roller, and protective side plates are provided on the upper end of the arc-shaped covers;

[0008] The lower center of the arrangement box is provided with a discharge channel, the width of which is the same as the width of the receiving channel and corresponds to the position of one of the receiving channels;

[0009] The conveyor belt is provided with several limiting conveyor structures, each including a symmetrically arranged elongated limiting plate. Several connecting belts are provided on opposite sides of the limiting plate and near both ends, and a woven mesh is provided between the opposite connecting belts.

[0010] Furthermore, the arrangement box is hinged with a cover plate that can cover the feed inlet.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer upper part of the protective side plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arrangement box; the upper part of the protective side plate is lower than the feed inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting band is an elastic band.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0015] Walnuts entering the sorting box in batches fall sequentially into multiple receiving troughs, and as the sorting rollers rotate, they fall in an orderly manner onto several limiting conveyor structures on the conveyor belt. This ensures that the walnuts delivered by the conveyor belt are arranged in an orderly manner, so that they do not pile up when entering the sorting stage, thus improving sorting efficiency and quality.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1An automatic feeding machine for walnut sorting includes a sorting box 1, a support frame 2 under the sorting box 1, the sorting box 1 can be installed on the upper side of the sorting mechanism through the support frame 2, and a conveyor belt 3 is provided under the sorting box 1 and inside the support frame 2, the conveyor belt 3 can send the sorted walnuts to the next level sorting device in sequence.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1-3 The arrangement box 1 is equipped with a feed inlet, and a cover plate 4 that can cover the feed inlet is hinged to the arrangement box 1. When the cover plate 4 is opened, walnuts can be fed into the arrangement box 1 in batches through an external screw conveyor and conveyor belt.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1-3 The arrangement box 1 is provided with an arrangement structure, which includes a drive motor 5 provided on one side of the arrangement box 1. The drive motor 5 extends into the arrangement box 1 and is provided with a rotating shaft 6. The end of the rotating shaft 6 away from the drive motor 5 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the arrangement box 1, so that the rotating shaft 6 can rotate normally in the arrangement box 1.

[0025] An arranging roller 7 is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 6. The arranging roller 7 has several receiving grooves 8 along its circumference. The lower end of each receiving groove 8 is arc-shaped to accommodate walnuts. The width of the receiving groove 8 is set so that it cannot accommodate two walnuts side by side, so that the walnuts will be arranged in the receiving groove 8. The excess walnuts piled up at the upper end of the receiving groove 8 will be squeezed out by the arc-shaped cover 9 during rotation. Arc-shaped covers 9 are provided on both sides of the arranging roller 7. The distance between the lower ends of the arc-shaped covers 9 is the same as the width of the receiving groove 8. A discharge channel is provided in the middle of the bottom of the arranging box 1. The width of the discharge channel is the same as the width of the receiving groove 8 and corresponds to the position of one of the receiving grooves 8, so that the walnuts in the receiving groove 8 at the lower end can fall to the corresponding limiting plate 11. A protective side plate 10 is provided on the upper end of each arc-shaped cover 9. The outer side of the upper end of the protective side plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arranging box 1. The upper end of the protective side plate 10 is lower than the feed inlet to avoid affecting the feeding.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 4 The conveyor belt 3 is equipped with several limiting conveying structures, each including a symmetrically arranged elongated limiting plate 11. Several connecting belts 12 are provided on opposite sides of the limiting plate 11 near both ends. The connecting belts 12 are elastic bands, and woven mesh 13 is provided between the opposite connecting belts 12. The limiting plate 11 and the two woven meshes 13 form a rectangular limiting frame, which can limit the walnuts and make them arranged on the conveyor belt 3. The connecting belts 12 are made of elastic bands so that they can deform. When the limiting conveying structure reaches the corner of the conveyor belt 3, the connecting belts 12 can deform and adapt, and are not easy to break due to pulling.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Walnuts entering the sorting box in batches fall into multiple receiving grooves 8 in sequence, and as the sorting roller 7 rotates, they fall in an orderly manner onto several limiting conveying structures on the conveyor belt 3, that is, between two opposing limiting plates 11, so that the walnuts sent out by the conveyor belt 3 are arranged in an orderly manner, so that they will not pile up when entering the sorting stage, thereby improving sorting efficiency and quality.

[0028] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
