Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting, and in particular to a fruit and vegetable specification sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the fruit and vegetable sorting industry, traditional sorting equipment is mostly electrically powered, making it difficult to apply at the harvesting site. In the past, with numerous links in the fruit and vegetable distribution chain, sorting was mostly carried out centrally in the background, and these machines could still meet the needs. However, with the booming development of online shopping, fruit and vegetable sales have eliminated many intermediate links, and post-harvest sorting needs to be done directly at the harvesting site.
[0003] However, existing sorting equipment has many drawbacks. It is bulky, difficult to transport to the harvesting site, and often requires specific operating environments, such as a stable power supply and ample operating space, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of on-site setup. Furthermore, these devices have high operational requirements, demanding professional personnel for operation and maintenance, which is often difficult to guarantee on-site. Moreover, the equipment is expensive, representing a significant expense for many small and medium-sized producers. Especially since fruit and vegetable sorting does not require high precision, the development of a low-cost and easy-to-operate fruit and vegetable sorting device suitable for on-site harvesting is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a fruit and vegetable size sorting device that uses the outer diameter of fruits and vegetables as the sorting condition, has a simple structure, low cost, and low requirements for the working environment.
[0005] The equipment includes a sorting rack, on which a slide is provided;
[0006] There are a total of two slides, which are arranged opposite each other, with one slide being higher than the other.
[0007] Multiple sliders are slidably disposed within the slide rail, and a position locking structure is provided between the sliders and the slide rail;
[0008] A connecting rod is hinged between the sliders of the two slides, and the connecting rod is a sleeve structure.
[0009] The effect achieved in this way is as shown in the attached diagram of the instruction manual. Figure 2 As shown:
[0010] Using the aforementioned slider as the adjustment basis, the gap between two adjacent connecting rods forms a trapezoidal space with gradually changing width at the head and tail, and the higher slide is narrower at one end.
[0011] The fruits are rolled down from the high point, the fruits with smaller volume are dropped from the gap between the two connecting rods first, and are dropped from the gaps between the two connecting rods in sequence according to the volume difference, so that the fruit sorting is completed.
[0012] The fruit and vegetable size sorting device has the advantages that the device has simple structure, solves the problems of the prior art sorting device, realizes flexible operation on site, is small and light, easy to deploy, easy to operate, easy for workers to use, low in manufacturing, maintenance and use cost, and can meet the sorting requirement on site.

[0019] The implementation, functional features and advantages of the fruit and vegetable size sorting device will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] REFERENCE Figure 1 , Figure 2 The fruit and vegetable size sorting device comprises a sorting support 11, and a slide 4 is arranged on the sorting support 11.
[0021] The two slides 4 are oppositely arranged, and one side of the slide 4 is higher than the other side.
[0022] A plurality of sliding blocks 3 are arranged in the slide 4, and a position locking structure is arranged between the sliding block 3 and the slide 4.
[0023] A connecting rod 2 is hingedly arranged between the sliding blocks 3 of the two slides 4, and the connecting rod 2 is in a sleeve structure.
[0024] The effect achieved is as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 2 .
[0025] With the slider 3 as the adjusting basis, the gap between the two adjacent connecting rods 2 forms a trapezoidal space with gradually changing head and tail widths, and the high-position slide 4 is relatively narrow at one end;
[0026] Fruits are rolled down from the high point, and smaller fruits are preferentially dropped between the two connecting rods 2 and sequentially dropped according to their different volumes, thereby completing fruit sorting.
[0027] In embodiment 1, the sorting support 11 includes at least four legs, and a reinforcing rib 10 is arranged between each two adjacent legs.
[0028] This achieves the effect of improving the overall strength of the device.
[0029] In embodiment 2, the slide 4 is composed of two spaced-apart slide strips 9, that is, the gap between the two slide strips 9 is the slide 4, and assembly bases 1 are integrally connected at both ends of the slide 4.
[0030] The assembly base 1 is fixedly arranged on the sorting support 11.
[0031] Further, the slider 3 includes a support sheet 6, a screw rod 7 is integrally arranged below the support sheet 6, and the outer diameter of the screw rod 7 is smaller than the gap of the slide 4, that is, smaller than the gap between the slide strips 9.
[0032] The tail end of the screw rod 7 is screw-connected with a locking sleeve 8.
[0033] Preferably, the outer wall of the locking sleeve 8 is provided with anti-slip lines.
[0034] That is, the sliding of the slider 3 in the slide 4 and the effect of instant manual locking can be achieved at the lowest cost.
[0035] In embodiment 3, a round rod is fixedly arranged on the slider 3, a rotating sleeve 5 is sleeved outside the round rod, and the two ends of the connecting rod 2 are fixedly arranged on the rotating sleeve 5.
[0036] This achieves the effect of further reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the device.
[0037] In embodiment 4, a hard-limiting screw is further arranged on the connecting rod 2, and the arrangement position is located on the bottom surface of the connecting rod 2.
[0038] This achieves the effect of realizing two-stage locking of the connecting rod 2 in cooperation with the locking of the slider 3.
[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
