Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fresh cut flower sorting equipment, and in particular to an automatic compartment structure for fresh cut flowers that can achieve low flower loss, high efficiency, high flexibility and human-machine friendly operation. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automated compartmenting structures for cut flowers typically include a cylinder-driven pushing mechanism and compartmenting channels formed by bending smooth stainless steel tubing. The pushing mechanism uses a cylinder directly connected to a pushing sheet metal to perform the compartment-pushing action, while the flow channel relies on a vibrating motor to assist the flow of the cut flowers. However, this structure has the following problems:

[0003] (1) The kicking mechanism is very rigid, which can easily cause the fresh-cut flower branches to be damaged or broken off;

[0004] (2) If the flow channel is not smooth, the fresh cut flowers are easily stuck and require manual intervention;

[0005] (3) The flow channel information is simple to identify, and it is difficult to obtain the grade information manually;

[0006] (4) The flow channel properties are fixed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the incoming material, resulting in an imbalance in flow channel utilization.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved automatic compartmentalization structure for cut flowers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an automatic compartmenting structure for cut flowers. This invention achieves low flower loss, high efficiency, high flexibility, and a user-friendly automatic compartmenting operation by optimizing the kick-out mechanism and compartment flow channel design.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an automatic compartmenting structure for cut flowers, installed on a main line for sorting cut flowers, the main line for sorting cut flowers including a main line frame, and a main line carrier for conveying cut flowers on the main line frame; the automatic compartmenting structure for cut flowers includes a compartmenting and pushing component and at least one compartmenting flow channel module, the compartmenting and pushing component is installed on the main line frame and located below the main line carrier, the compartmenting and pushing component pushes the cut flowers of the main line carrier into the compartmenting flow channel;

[0010] The compartment flow channel module includes a compartment frame, on which several compartment flow channels are installed. Each compartment flow channel includes an inclined section and a horizontal section. The inclined section is set at an angle, with its high end located at the discharge end of the main fresh-cut flower sorting line, and its low end connected to the horizontal section. A rubber strip is provided on the part of the compartment flow channel that contacts the flower stem, and the rubber strip is covered with nylon cloth.

[0011] Equipped with compartmentalized feeding components and compartmentalized flow channel modules, it enables automated transfer of cut flowers from the main line to the compartments. The inclined sections utilize gravity-assisted sliding, while the horizontal sections provide stable storage, reducing manual intervention. It features rubber strips and nylon cloth; applying lubricant to the nylon cloth surface during use protects the flower stems from mechanical damage, reduces the coefficient of friction, and prevents scratches on the cut flower surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the compartmentalized pushing assembly includes a compartmentalized cylinder, a compartmentalized pushing plate mounted on the cylinder's push rod, and a rubber block covering the portion of the pushing plate that contacts the flower stem. The compartmentalized cylinder provides a stable pushing force, while the rubber block buffers the contact pressure, preventing damage to the flower stem during pushing.

[0013] Furthermore, the compartmentalized feeding assembly also includes a feeding mounting base plate installed on the main line for sorting fresh-cut flowers. A compartmentalized cylinder is located on the lower surface of the feeding mounting base plate, and a shock-absorbing pad is installed at the end of the cylinder furthest from the push rod. The feeding mounting base plate is equipped with an adjusting bolt for adjusting the position of the compartmentalized cylinder, with one end of the adjusting bolt abutting against the shock-absorbing pad. The lower surface of the feeding mounting base plate is equipped with a guide support wheel supporting the compartmentalized cylinder, located outside the cylinder and slidably connected to it. The shock-absorbing pad reduces the vibration noise of the compartmentalized cylinder; the adjusting bolt flexibly adjusts the cylinder position to adapt to different flower patterns; and the guide support wheel enhances the stability of the cylinder's movement and extends its service life.

[0014] Furthermore, the rubber block includes an integrally formed U-shaped portion and an O-shaped portion. The U-shaped portion is fitted and installed at the contact edge between the compartment pusher plate and the flower stem. The U-shaped portion is firmly fixed to the edge of the pusher plate, while the O-shaped portion acts as a buffer for the flower stem, providing double protection to avoid rigid contact.

[0015] Furthermore, a buffer pad is provided between the lower surface of the pusher mounting base plate and the compartment cylinder. The buffer pad further reduces vibration transmission between the cylinder and the base plate, reducing noise and structural wear.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer side of the compartmentalized cylinder is provided with a groove, and the guide support wheel is slidably connected to the groove. The slidable connection between the groove and the guide wheel can precisely limit the movement trajectory of the cylinder, prevent deviation, and ensure the consistency of the pushing direction.

[0017] Furthermore, the main cut flower sorting line is equipped with a flow channel display that shows the detection information of the cut flowers. The flow channel display is set up one-to-one with the sorting flow channel. The flow channel display shows the cut flower sorting information (such as variety and grade) in real time, which is convenient for operators to monitor and verify the accuracy of sorting.

[0018] Furthermore, the compartmentalized flow channel module includes a vibration motor, which is located at the high end of the inclined section. The vibration motor can assist the cut flowers to slide smoothly down the inclined section, preventing them from piling up and getting stuck, and is especially suitable for varieties with stems that are prone to tangling.

[0019] Furthermore, the compartment flow channel module includes a full-load detection sensor, which is located at the high end of the inclined segment. The full-load detection sensor can automatically monitor the compartment capacity, trigger an alarm or stop the material supply, and avoid blockage or damage caused by overload.

[0020] Furthermore, the compartment rack is a modular rack that is easy to assemble and disassemble. The modular rack facilitates transportation, assembly, and subsequent maintenance, adapts to different compartment quantity requirements, and has strong scalability.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: this utility model is reasonably designed and easy to operate, and has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) The part of the compartment pusher that contacts the flower stem is covered with a rubber block and adopts a flexible connection design, which greatly reduces the flower damage when kicking the compartment and improves the integrity of the cut flowers.

[0023] (2) The compartment flow channel module is covered with rubber strips and nylon cloth and coated with lubricating oil, which reduces the coefficient of friction and improves the smoothness of the fresh cut flowers sliding.

[0024] (3) The flow channel display provides rich information on the grade of fresh cut flowers, which improves the human-computer interaction and reduces the requirements for human skills in identifying fresh cut flowers;

[0025] (4) The compartment flow channel module is modularly designed, and users can configure different numbers of flow channels according to their own situation, which improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7The diagram shows an automatic compartment structure for cut flowers, installed on a main cut flower sorting line 3. The main cut flower sorting line 3 includes a main line frame, on which a main line carrier 31 for conveying cut flowers is mounted. The automatic compartment structure includes a compartment pushing component 1 and at least one compartment flow channel module 2. The compartment pushing component 1 is installed on the main line frame and located below the main line carrier 31. The compartment pushing component 1 pushes the cut flowers from the main line carrier into the compartment flow channel. 22; The compartment flow channel module 2 includes a compartment frame 21, on which several compartment flow channels 22 are installed. Each compartment flow channel 22 includes an inclined section 221 and a horizontal section 222. The inclined section 221 is angled, with its high end located at the discharge end of the main flower sorting line 3, and its low end connected to the horizontal section 222. A rubber strip is provided on the part of the compartment flow channel 22 that contacts the flower stem, and the rubber strip is covered with nylon cloth. A baffle 223 is provided at the outer end of the horizontal section 222 to prevent the cut flowers from slipping, and the baffle 223 is angled upwards. The compartment flow channel 22 is made of bent stainless steel sheet.

[0039] The modular design of the compartmentalized flow channel module 2 greatly improves the efficiency of installation and replacement. Furthermore, users can configure different numbers of compartmentalized flow channel modules 2 according to site requirements, reducing production costs.

[0040] The compartmentalized material pushing assembly 1 includes a compartmentalized cylinder 11, a compartmentalized material pushing plate 12 is mounted on the push rod of the compartmentalized cylinder 11, and a rubber block 13 is covered on the part of the compartmentalized material pushing plate 12 that contacts the flower stem.

[0041] The compartmentalized feeding assembly 1 also includes a feeding mounting base plate 14 installed on the fresh-cut flower sorting main line 3. A compartmentalized cylinder 11 is located on the lower surface of the feeding mounting base plate 14, and a shock-absorbing pad 16 is installed at the end of the compartmentalized cylinder 11 furthest from the push rod. An adjusting bolt 15 is provided on the feeding mounting base plate 14 to adjust the position of the compartmentalized cylinder 11, with one end of the adjusting bolt 15 abutting against the shock-absorbing pad 16. A guide support wheel 18 supporting the compartmentalized cylinder 11 is provided on the lower surface of the feeding mounting base plate 14. The guide support wheel 18 is located outside the compartmentalized cylinder 11 and is slidably connected to it. The shock-absorbing pad 16 is made of rubber. The adjusting bolt 15 can adjust the feeding position of the compartmentalized cylinder 11, improving the adaptability of the compartmentalized feeding assembly 1.

[0042] The rubber block 13 includes an integrally formed U-shaped part and an O-shaped part. The U-shaped part is fitted and installed at the edge where the compartmentalizing push plate 12 contacts the flower stem. The rubber block 13 has an O-shaped part. When compartmentalizing, the O-shaped part will collapse when it contacts the flower stem, absorbing the impact from the original compartmentalizing cylinder 11, reducing damage to the flower stem and the breakage of the cut flowers.

[0043] A buffer pad 17 is provided between the lower surface of the pusher mounting base plate 14 and the compartment cylinder 11.

[0044] The compartmentalized cylinder 11 is flexibly connected using shock-absorbing pads 16, guide support wheels 18, buffer pads 17, and adjusting bolts 15. When the cylinder moves, the impact generated will be absorbed by the shock-absorbing pads 16 and buffer pads 17.

[0045] The outer side of the compartment cylinder 11 is provided with a groove, and the guide support wheel 18 is slidably connected to the groove.

[0046] The main line 3 for sorting fresh cut flowers is equipped with a flow channel display 4 that displays fresh cut flower detection information. The flow channel display 4 is set up in a one-to-one correspondence with the compartment flow channel 22.

[0047] The compartment flow channel module 2 includes a vibration motor 23, which is located at the high end of the inclined segment 221.

[0048] The compartment flow channel module 2 includes a full material detection sensor 24, which is located at the high end of the inclined segment 221.

[0049] The compartment rack 21 is a modular rack that is easy to assemble and disassemble. During transportation, it greatly reduces the space occupied by the compartment rack 21 and lowers transportation costs.

[0050] The working process of this automatic compartmenting structure for fresh-cut flowers is as follows: The user pre-configures the flow channel attributes. After the fresh-cut flowers undergo grading and testing, their grade is confirmed. The main line carrier 31 holds the fresh-cut flowers and moves with the fresh-cut flower sorting main line 3 to the corresponding compartment flow channel 22. Then, the compartment pushing component 1 works, and the compartment cylinder 11 drives the compartment pushing plate 12 to push out, kicking the fresh-cut flowers from the main line carrier 31 into the corresponding compartment flow channel 22. The fresh-cut flowers flow along the inclined section 221 into the horizontal section 222. During this process, the vibration motor 23 is used to increase the smoothness of the flow of fresh-cut flowers, and then the automatic compartmenting action continues. When the full material detection sensor 24 detects a signal, it triggers a prompt, and a person comes to pick up the flowers and sorts and classifies them or transports them to the subsequent workstation according to the prompts on the flow channel display 4.

[0051] In summary, this automatic compartmentalization structure for cut flowers is reasonably designed and simple in structure, and has the following advantages:

[0052] (1) The part of the compartment pusher 12 that contacts the flower stem is covered with a rubber block 13. The flexible connection design greatly reduces the flower damage when kicking the compartment and improves the integrity of the cut flowers.

[0053] (2) The compartment flow channel module 2 is covered with rubber strips and nylon cloth and coated with lubricating oil, which reduces the coefficient of friction and improves the smoothness of the fresh cut flowers sliding.

[0054] (3) The flow channel display 4 provides rich information on the grade of fresh cut flowers, which improves the human-computer interaction and reduces the requirements for human skills in identifying fresh cut flowers;

[0055] (4) The compartment flow channel module 2 is a modular design, and users can configure different numbers of flow channels according to their own situation, which improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.
