Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting, and in particular to an air-blowing sorting mechanism and a fruit and vegetable sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people pursue a higher quality of life, more and more people are demanding higher quality fruits and vegetables, making fruit and vegetable sorting an important technology.

[0003] Some berries on the market, such as blueberries, cherries, chestnuts, etc., are usually placed on fruit cups during sorting. The fruit cups carry the berries to the separation device, which includes an air blowing component and a guide rail. The air blowing component is installed on the guide rail and is used to blow air into the fruit cups to detach the fruits and vegetables from the cups. The fruit cups have guide grooves that cooperate with the guide rails.

[0004] However, the air blowing component is exposed to the outside and is easily affected by the external environment. For example, accidental collisions with other objects may damage the air blowing component or change its installation position, thus affecting the air blowing effect of the air blowing component on the fruit cup. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an air-blowing sorting mechanism and a fruit and vegetable sorting machine to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the air-blowing component is exposed to the outside, and the external environment easily affects the air-blowing effect of the air-blowing component on the fruit cup.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an air-blowing sorting mechanism, comprising:

[0007] frame;

[0008] A fruit cup component, comprising a fruit cup base and a fruit cup wheel, wherein the fruit cup base is connected to the fruit cup wheel, and the fruit cup wheel is used to hold fruits and vegetables;

[0009] A conveying assembly, mounted on the frame, is used to convey the fruit cup component;

[0010] An air blowing device is mounted on the frame. The air blowing device includes a frame assembly and an air blowing assembly. The frame assembly includes a mounting frame and a guide member. The guide member is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame. The mounting frame and the guide member enclose a guide channel for the fruit cup holder to pass through. The fruit cup wheel is located outside the guide member. The air blowing assembly is connected to the mounting frame and located inside the frame assembly. The guide member has a through hole, through which the air blown by the air blowing assembly can be directed towards the fruit cup wheel.

[0011] With the above structure, the air blowing assembly is connected to the mounting frame and located inside the frame assembly. The frame assembly protects the air blowing assembly, making it less likely for the external environment to affect the air blowing effect of the air blowing assembly on the fruit cup wheel. In addition, the mounting frame and the guide members enclose and form a guide channel for the fruit cup holder to pass through, making the air blowing sorting mechanism of this embodiment compact.

[0012] In some embodiments, the air blowing assembly includes a mounting base connected to the mounting frame. The mounting base has a guide groove on its side wall away from the mounting frame. The fruit cup holder includes a seat body and a protrusion. The protrusion is connected to the seat body and is located in the middle of the seat body and protrudes outward. The guide groove is used for the protrusion to pass through.

[0013] With the above structure, the guide groove plays a more advanced guiding role for the fruit cup. The two side walls of the guide groove can guide and limit the protrusion, preventing the fruit cup from shaking or falling off the conveying assembly.

[0014] In some embodiments, one side of the mounting base is located at the through hole, and the side wall of the mounting base located at the through hole is provided with an air vent for venting air.

[0015] The above structure reduces the distance between the air outlet and the fruit cup, avoiding an excessively long air path from the air outlet that would result in poor blowing effect and make it difficult for fruits and vegetables to detach from the fruit cup.

[0016] In some embodiments, the air blowing device further includes an air storage component, the mounting frame has a receiving cavity, and the air storage component is located in the receiving cavity; the air blowing component further includes an air inlet valve and an air nozzle, the air inlet valve and the air nozzle are both mounted on the mounting base, and the air inlet valve is connected between the air storage component and the air nozzle.

[0017] With the above structure, the receiving cavity is used to house the air pipe between the air storage component and the air intake valve, so as to simplify the overall air circuit structure and avoid damage to the air pipe.

[0018] In some embodiments, the air storage assembly includes an air inlet, a first air outlet, and an air storage component. The air storage component is connected to the base plate of the mounting frame and has an air storage chamber. The air inlet and the first air outlet are both mounted on the air storage component. The air inlet is connected to the air storage chamber, and the first air outlet is connected to the air storage chamber and the air inlet valve.

[0019] Through the above structure, the air storage chamber can store air and energy, and supply air to the air inlet valve through the air storage chamber to ensure the long-term stable operation of the air blowing and sorting mechanism.

[0020] In some embodiments, both the air storage component and the air blowing component are provided in multiple ways. Each air storage component further includes a second air outlet, which is installed on a corresponding air storage component. One second air outlet is connected to a corresponding air storage chamber and an air inlet in another air storage component.

[0021] The above structure connects the gas storage chambers of multiple gas storage components, allowing a single air pump to supply gas to all gas storage components.

[0022] In some embodiments, a plurality of the gas storage components are spaced apart along the length of the mounting frame, and a gas blowing component is disposed between two adjacent gas storage components.

[0023] The above structure makes the overall structure of the air blowing device more compact.

[0024] In some embodiments, the air-blowing sorting mechanism further includes a flexible barrier and a transfer belt. The flexible barrier is disposed on one side of the through hole, and there is a collection gap between the flexible barrier and the mounting frame. The transfer belt is located below the collection gap.

[0025] Through the aforementioned structure, the flexible barrier prevents fruits and vegetables from being blown away from the fruit cup wheel, thus avoiding damage to their skin. After being blocked by the flexible barrier, the fruits and vegetables fall onto the transfer belt, where they are transported and sorted.

[0026] In some embodiments, the air-blowing sorting mechanism further includes a suspension seat and an anti-slip member. The suspension seat includes a first suspension arm, a second suspension arm, and a third suspension arm. The first suspension arm and the third suspension arm are respectively connected to opposite ends of the second suspension arm. The first suspension arm, the second suspension arm, and the third suspension arm are respectively threaded through the flexible barrier member so that the suspension seat is connected to the flexible barrier member. The ends of the first suspension arm and the third suspension arm are respectively mounted on the mounting frame. The anti-slip member has a slot. The first suspension arm, the second suspension arm, and the third suspension arm are respectively received in the slots of the three anti-slip members along with the corresponding threaded portions of the flexible barrier member so that the anti-slip member is fitted over the flexible barrier member.

[0027] The above structure facilitates quick installation and disassembly of the suspension seat. When fruits and vegetables blown off the fruit cup wheel collide with the flexible barrier, it will cause the flexible barrier to rotate in the direction away from the installation frame. By setting anti-slip parts, the opposite sides of the flexible barrier are made to abut against the groove wall to prevent the flexible barrier from rotating.

[0028] This utility model also provides a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including the air-blowing sorting mechanism in any of the above embodiments.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment of the utility model, the air blowing component is connected to the mounting frame and located inside the frame component. The frame component protects the air blowing component, making it less likely for the external environment to affect the air blowing effect of the air blowing component on the fruit cup wheel. In addition, the mounting frame and the guide member enclose and form a guide channel for the fruit cup seat to pass through, making the air blowing sorting mechanism of this embodiment compact.

The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the air-blowing sorting mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Enlarged structural diagram of section A; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A structural diagram of the central frame components and the fruit cup part; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Enlarged structural diagram of section B.

[0044] An embodiment of this utility model provides an air-blowing sorting mechanism 100, including a frame 10, fruit cup components 20, a conveying assembly 30, and an air-blowing device 40. The fruit cup component 20 includes a fruit cup seat 21 and a fruit cup wheel 22, with the fruit cup seat 21 connected to the fruit cup wheel 22, which is used to hold fruits and vegetables. The conveying assembly 30 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to convey the fruit cup components 20. The air-blowing device 40 is mounted on the frame 10 and includes a frame assembly 41 and an air-blowing assembly 42. 1 includes a mounting frame 411 and a guide 412. The guide 412 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 411. The mounting frame 411 and the guide 412 enclose each other to form a guide channel 413. The guide channel 413 is used for the fruit cup holder 21 to pass through. The fruit cup wheel 22 is located outside the guide 412. The air blowing assembly 42 is connected to the mounting frame 411 and is located inside the frame assembly 41. The guide 412 has a through hole 4121. The air blown by the air blowing assembly 42 can be blown towards the fruit cup wheel 22 through the through hole 4121.

[0045] Specifically, the guide channel 413 serves a guiding function, through which the fruit cup holder 21 passes, and the fruit cup holder 21 does not contact the guide component 412, thus reducing the contact between the fruit cup holder 21 and the frame assembly 41.

[0046] The air blowing assembly 42 is connected to the mounting frame 411 and located inside the frame assembly 41. The frame assembly 41 protects the air blowing assembly 42, making it less likely for the external environment to affect the air blowing effect of the air blowing assembly 42 on the fruit cup wheel 22. In addition, the mounting frame 411 and the guide member 412 enclose and form a guide channel 413 for the fruit cup holder 21 to pass through, making the air blowing sorting mechanism 100 of this embodiment compact in structure.

[0047] In this embodiment, it should be noted that, in order to increase the number of fruits and vegetables that can be held in a single fruit cup 20, the fruit cup wheel 22 is connected to the opposite sides of the fruit cup base 21. Two guide members 412 are provided for this purpose, both connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 411. The two guide members 412 are located on both sides of the mounting frame 411, and the two guide members 412 and the bottom of the mounting frame 411 together form a guide channel 413. Part of the air blowing assembly 42 is located within the guide channel 413, and the other part is located within the mounting frame 411. This structure is simple and reduces production costs. Moreover, since the air blowing assembly 42 is partially located within the guide channel 413, blowing air from the center to both sides can simultaneously blow away the fruits and vegetables on the fruit cup wheel 22 located outside the two guide members 412, improving the efficiency of separating fruits and vegetables from the fruit cup 20 in a single operation.

[0048] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the conveyor component and the fruit cup component.

[0049] In addition, the conveying assembly 30 includes a conveying guide rail 31, a conveying chain 32, and a drive member 33. The conveying chain 32 is placed on the conveying guide rail 31, and the fruit cup holder 21 is placed on the conveying chain 32. The drive member 33 is used to drive the conveying chain 32 to move, and the conveying chain 32 drives the fruit cup 20 to move so that the fruit cup holder 21 passes through the guide channel 413.

[0050] It should be noted that the air blowing component 42 blows air onto fruits and vegetables of different standards, causing them to detach from the fruit cup wheel 22. Fruits and vegetables of different standards will then enter different sorting channels. Before entering the air blowing sorting mechanism 100, the fruit cup pieces 20 must pass through a vision inspection device. The vision inspection device can inspect the fruits and vegetables in the fruit cup pieces 20, determining their size, peel damage, etc. The vision inspection device feeds the information about the fruits and vegetables on the fruit cup pieces 20 back to the control backend, which can then control the air blowing effect of the air blowing component 42 to achieve the purpose of sorting the fruits and vegetables on the fruit cup pieces 20.

[0051] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the air blowing assembly.

[0052] In one embodiment, the air blowing assembly 42 includes a mounting base 421 connected to a mounting frame 411. The mounting base 421 has a guide groove 4211 on its side wall away from the mounting frame 411. The fruit cup holder 21 includes a seat body 211 and a protrusion 212 connected to the seat body 211. The protrusion 212 is located in the middle of the seat body 211 and protrudes outward. The guide groove 4211 is used for the protrusion 212 to pass through.

[0053] Specifically, the protrusion 212 and the seat 211 are an integrated structure, with the protrusion 212 located in the middle of the seat 211. The guide groove 4211 provides further guidance for the fruit cup 20. The protrusion 212 can pass through the guide groove 4211, and the seat 211 can abut against or have a gap with the side wall of the guide groove 4211. Preferably, there is a gap between the seat 211 and the side wall of the guide groove 4211. The purpose of this arrangement is that the two side walls of the guide groove 4211 can guide and limit the protrusion 212, preventing the fruit cup 20 from shaking or falling off the conveyor rail 31, for example, the fruit cup wheel 22 getting stuck in the through hole 4121, etc. Furthermore, when the protrusion 212 passes through the guide groove 4211, the fruit cup wheel 22 reaches the through hole 4121, and the air blowing component 42 blows air into the through hole 4121 to cause the fruits and vegetables on the fruit cup wheel 22 to detach from the fruit cup wheel 22. In this embodiment, there is a gap between the protrusion 212 and the guide channel 413.

[0054] In one embodiment, one side of the mounting base 421 is located at the through hole 4121, and the side wall of the mounting base 421 located at the through hole 4121 is provided with an air outlet 4212 for venting air.

[0055] Specifically, the distance between the air outlet 4212 and the fruit cup piece 20 is reduced to avoid the situation where the air path of the air outlet 4212 is too long, resulting in poor blowing effect and difficulty for fruits and vegetables to detach from the fruit cup piece 20.

[0056] See Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the middle section of the mounting frame.

[0057] In one embodiment, the air blowing device 40 further includes an air storage component 43, and the mounting frame 411 has a receiving cavity 4111, in which the air storage component 43 is located; the air blowing component 42 further includes an air inlet valve 422 and an air nozzle 423, both of which are mounted on the mounting base 421, and the air inlet valve 422 is connected between the air storage component 43 and the air nozzle 423.

[0058] Specifically, the receiving cavity 4111 is used to house the air pipe between the air storage component 43 and the air intake valve 422, so as to simplify the overall air circuit structure and avoid damage to the air pipe.

[0059] See also Figure 6In this embodiment, the mounting base 421 includes a first mounting cavity, a connecting channel, and a second mounting cavity. The intake valve 422 is installed in the first mounting cavity, and the jet nozzle 423 is installed in the second mounting cavity. The connecting channel connects the intake valve 422 and the jet nozzle 423, and the connecting channel is used to allow the gas from the intake valve 422 to flow into the jet nozzle 423. The second mounting cavity is connected to the air outlet 4212, so that the air outlet of the jet nozzle 423 is connected to the air outlet 4212, and the high-speed airflow is discharged through the air outlet 4212.

[0060] To facilitate viewing of the air passage structure, the air pipe between the air storage component 43 and the air intake valve 422 is not marked in this embodiment.

[0061] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional structural diagram of the mounting frame.

[0062] In one embodiment, the air storage assembly 43 includes an air inlet 431, a first air outlet 432, and an air storage component 433. The air storage component 433 is connected to the base plate of the mounting frame 411, and the air storage component 433 has an air storage chamber 4331. The air inlet 431 and the first air outlet 432 are both installed on the air storage component 433. The air inlet 431 is connected to the air storage chamber 4331 and is used for air intake. The first air outlet 432 is connected to the air storage chamber 4331 and the air intake valve 422.

[0063] Specifically, the air storage chamber 4331 serves to store air and energy, supplying air to the air inlet valve 422 to ensure the long-term stable operation of the air-blowing sorting mechanism 100. In this embodiment, the air storage component 433 includes a mounting plate and a square steel member. Two mounting plates are provided, welded to opposite sides of the square steel member. The two mounting plates and the square steel member enclose the air storage chamber 4331, and the mounting plates are connected to the base plate of the mounting frame 411 by screws.

[0064] In one embodiment, both the air storage component 43 and the air blowing component 42 are provided in multiple ways. Each air storage component 43 also includes a second air outlet 434. The second air outlet 434 is installed on a corresponding air storage component 433. Each second air outlet 434 is connected to a corresponding air storage chamber 4331 and an air inlet 431 in another air storage component 43.

[0065] Specifically, by connecting the air storage chambers 4331 of multiple air storage components 43, a single air pump can supply air to all the air storage components 43.

[0066] It should be noted that, for ease of viewing the air passage structure, the pipes of the second air outlet 434 and the air inlet 431 are not shown.

[0067] In one embodiment, a plurality of air storage components 43 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting frame 411, and an air blowing component 42 is provided between two adjacent air storage components 43.

[0068] Specifically, multiple air storage components 43 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting frame 411, and an air blowing component 42 can be set between two adjacent air storage components 43, making the overall structure of the air blowing device 40 more compact.

[0069] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the air-blowing sorting mechanism 100 further includes a flexible barrier 50 and a transfer belt 60. The flexible barrier 50 is disposed on one side of the through hole 4121 and has a collection gap 70 between the flexible barrier 50 and the mounting frame 411. The transfer belt 60 is located below the collection gap 70.

[0070] Specifically, the flexible barrier 50 is made of flexible material and blocks fruits and vegetables that are blown away from the fruit cup wheel 22, preventing damage to their skin. After being blocked by the flexible barrier 50, the fruits and vegetables fall onto the transfer belt 60, which then transports them to complete the sorting process. In this embodiment, the transfer belt 60 is mounted on the frame 10, and the transfer belt 60 has a predetermined angle with the mounting frame 411 to keep the overall air-blowing sorting mechanism 100 simple and not too long. Preferably, the angle between the transfer belt 60 and the mounting frame 411 is 90°. Multiple sets of transfer belts 60 are provided, each set corresponding to one air-blowing component 42, to blow fruits and vegetables of different qualities into different transfer belts 60 to complete the sorting of the fruits and vegetables.

[0071] In one embodiment, the air-blowing sorting mechanism 100 further includes a suspension seat 80 and an anti-slip member 90. The suspension seat 80 includes a first suspension arm 81, a second suspension arm 82, and a third suspension arm 83. The first suspension arm 81 and the third suspension arm 83 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the second suspension arm 82. The first suspension arm 81, the second suspension arm 82, and the third suspension arm 83 are respectively passed through the flexible barrier member 50 so that the suspension seat 80 is connected to the flexible barrier member 50. The ends of the first suspension arm 81 and the third suspension arm 83 are respectively mounted on the mounting frame 411. The anti-slip member 90 has a slot. The first suspension arm 81, the second suspension arm 82, and the third suspension arm 83 are respectively received in the slots of the three anti-slip members 90 along with the corresponding parts of the flexible barrier member, so that the anti-slip member 90 is sleeved on the outside of the flexible barrier member 50.

[0072] See also Figure 2Specifically, mounting holes 4112 are provided on the side wall of the mounting frame 411. The first suspension arm 81 and the third suspension arm 83 are respectively passed through one mounting hole 4112, so that the suspension seat 80 is installed on the mounting frame 411. This arrangement facilitates quick installation and removal of the suspension seat 80. Preferably, the mounting hole 4112 is a waist-shaped hole structure to facilitate adjustment of the installation position of the first suspension arm 81 and the second suspension arm 82. The flexible barrier 50 is curtain-shaped. The first suspension arm 81, the second suspension arm 82 and the third suspension arm 83 are respectively passed through the flexible barrier 50, so that the flexible barrier 50 is connected to the suspension seat 80. When the fruits and vegetables blown off the fruit cup wheel 22 collide with the flexible barrier 50, it will cause the flexible barrier 50 to rotate in the direction away from the mounting frame 411. By providing anti-slip parts 90, the opposite sides of the flexible barrier 50 abut against the groove wall of the slot 91 to prevent the flexible barrier 50 from rotating.

[0075] The conveying mechanism includes a V-shaped conveyor belt, fruit cups, and a rotating transfer belt. The V-shaped conveyor belt arranges the fruits and vegetables while conveying them, and the arranged fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the fruit cup wheel 22. The rotating transfer belt is used to drive the fruit cup wheel 22 to rotate, thereby driving the fruits and vegetables on the fruit cup wheel 22 to rotate.

[0076] The testing agency will take photos of the fruits and vegetables on the fruit cup wheel 22 for testing. The fruit cup wheel 22 carrying the tested fruits and vegetables will be transported to the air-blowing sorting mechanism 100.
