[0027] Embodiment one: please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :

[0028] The utility model provides a kind of red plum apricot fruit grading screening device, comprising: base 1;

[0029] The top of base 1 is arranged in a ring shape with four support columns 2, and the base 1 is used to support the support columns 2, and the support columns 2 are used to slide support the screening barrel 4;The outer side of the four support columns 2 is provided with two springs 3, and when the vibration motor 9 works, it will drive the screening barrel 4 to slide up and down under the support of the rectangular plate on the bottom outside of the screening barrel 4 and the support columns 2, and the springs 3 on the outer side of the support columns 2 can play a buffering role, so as to make the screening barrel 4 vibrate up and down continuously;The outer side of the four support columns 2 is also slidably installed with a screening barrel 4, and the screening barrel 4 is used to screen red plum apricot fruit;Four partition plates 5 are welded inside the screening barrel 4, and the partition plates 5 are used to separate the cavity inside the screening barrel 4 and also support the screening net 6;Three groups of screening nets 6 are also welded inside the screening barrel 4, and the screening nets 6 are used to screen red plum apricot fruit according to size;A stepping motor 7 is installed at the middle position of the top of the screening barrel 4, and the stepping motor 7 is used to drive the fruit push plate 8 to rotate;A group of fruit push plates 8 is installed at the top end of the main shaft of the stepping motor 7, and when the fruit push plate 8 rotates, it can push the red plum apricot fruit that needs to be screened to move;A vibration motor 9 is installed on the outer wall of the front side of the screening barrel 4, and when the vibration motor 9 works, it will drive the screening barrel 4 to slide up and down under the support of the rectangular plate on the bottom outside of the screening barrel 4 and the support columns 2, and the springs 3 on the outer side of the support columns 2 can play a buffering role, so as to make the screening barrel 4 vibrate up and down continuously, and at this time, the red plum apricot fruit will move continuously.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 1-4As shown, four rectangular plates are arranged in a ring shape outside the bottom of the screening barrel 4, and the four rectangular plates can slide up and down outside the four support columns 2. When the vibration motor 9 is working, it drives the screening barrel 4 to slide up and down under the support of the rectangular plates outside the bottom of the screening barrel 4 and the support columns 2. Moreover, the springs 3 outside the support columns 2 can play a buffering role, so as to make the screening barrel 4 vibrate up and down continuously.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 , the partition plate 5 divides the cavity inside the screening barrel 4 into four fan-shaped cavities, and three groups of screening nets 6 are respectively located at the top of three fan-shaped cavities. The four fan-shaped cavities can classify and collect red apricot fruits of four different sizes.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the two springs 3 outside the support columns 2 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the rectangular plates outside the bottom of the screening barrel 4, and the other ends of the two springs 3 are respectively close to the top surface of the base 1 and the bottom surface of the top circular plate of the support column 2. When the vibration motor 9 is working, it drives the screening barrel 4 to slide up and down under the support of the rectangular plates outside the bottom of the screening barrel 4 and the support columns 2. Moreover, the springs 3 outside the support columns 2 can play a buffering role, so as to make the screening barrel 4 vibrate up and down continuously.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 , the widths of the arc-shaped grooves between the screening nets 6 are all different, and the widths of the grooves of the three groups of screening nets 6 arranged in the counterclockwise direction increase in turn. Therefore, when the red apricot fruits are screened, the fruit push plate 8 can be pushed to move counterclockwise, so as to screen the red apricot fruits according to the size from small to large.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the top surface of the screening net 6 is located in the same plane as the top surface of the partition plate 5, the bottom surface of the fruit push plate 8 is close to the top surface of the partition plate 5, and the four fruit push plates 8 are arranged in a cross shape. Therefore, after the fruit push plate 8 rotates 90°, it can always be located at the top of the partition plate 5, and the partition plate 5 can also ensure that the red apricot fruits are pushed to move when it rotates.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 6As shown, the bottom surface of the inner fan-shaped cavity of the screening barrel 4 is an inclined surface with a high inner side and a low outer side, and four openings are formed in the outer wall of the screening barrel 4 and communicate with the inner fan-shaped cavity. When the red apricot fruits are screened, the red apricot fruits will fall into the inner fan-shaped cavity of the screening barrel 4, and then the red apricot fruits can slide outwards through the openings in the outer wall of the screening barrel 4, facilitating the classification and collection of the screened red apricot fruits. In addition, the inclined surface at the bottom of the inner fan-shaped cavity facilitates the rolling of the red apricot fruits outwards.

[0036] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: when installed, the device is supported and placed on the ground through the base 1, and the stepping motor 7 and the vibration motor 9 are connected with the external controller and the power supply. When the device needs to be used to screen red apricot fruits, the red apricot fruits to be screened can be poured on the top of the narrowest screening net 6 of the arc-shaped slot in the front left position. At this time, the red apricot fruits will be located in the cavity between two adjacent fruit push plates 8. Then, the vibration motor 9 can be controlled to start running. When the vibration motor 9 works, it will drive the screening barrel 4 to slide up and down under the support of the rectangular plate at the bottom outside of the screening barrel 4 and the support column 2. In addition, the spring 3 outside the support column 2 can play a buffering role, so that the screening barrel 4 can vibrate up and down continuously. At this time, the red apricot fruits will move continuously. Then, the red apricot fruits with a diameter smaller than the arc-shaped slot of the screening net 6 in the front left position will fall into the fan-shaped cavity in the front left position. After a period of screening, the fruit push plate 8 can be controlled to rotate counterclockwise by 90° by the stepping motor 7. At this time, the fruit push plate 8 can push the red apricot fruits to move to the top of the screening net 6 in the front right position. Then, the red apricot fruits with a diameter smaller than the arc-shaped slot of the screening net 6 in the front right position will fall into the fan-shaped cavity in the front right position. After a period of screening, the fruit push plate 8 can be controlled to rotate counterclockwise by 90° by the stepping motor 7. At this time, the fruit push plate 8 can push the red apricot fruits to move to the top of the screening net 6 in the back right position. Then, the red apricot fruits with a diameter smaller than the arc-shaped slot of the screening net 6 in the back right position will fall into the fan-shaped cavity in the back right position. After a period of screening, the fruit push plate 8 can be controlled to rotate counterclockwise by 90° by the stepping motor 7. Then, the largest red apricot fruits will directly fall into the fan-shaped cavity in the back left position, so that the classification and screening can be completed. Finally, the red apricot fruits in the fan-shaped cavities between the partitions 5 can slide outwards through the openings in the outer wall of the screening barrel 4, facilitating the classification and collection of the screened red apricot fruits.
