Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of durian sorting and production technology, and in particular to a sorting machine for durian with automatic counterweight. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing and sales of durians, sorting has always played a crucial role. Traditionally, durian sorting relies primarily on manual labor. Workers use experience and simple tools to initially classify durians by size, weight, and quality. However, this method has many drawbacks.

[0003] First, manual sorting is inefficient. When faced with large quantities of durians, workers endure extreme physical strain, and prolonged work easily leads to fatigue, affecting the accuracy and speed of sorting. For example, during the durian harvest season, processing companies need to invest a significant amount of manpower in sorting, but even then, it is difficult to quickly meet market demand.

[0004] Secondly, manual sorting is not precise enough in terms of weight control. Because each worker's feel and judgment standards differ, it's difficult to guarantee that durians of every weight grade meet strict standards. This can lead to problems in subsequent packaging and sales stages, such as discrepancies between the actual weight and the labeled weight, affecting the consumer's purchasing experience and the company's reputation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as inaccurate manual sorting, by providing a new automatic weighting and sorting machine for durians.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A durian automatic weight sorting machine

[0008] It includes a high-pressure cleaning module, an air-drying module, a fruit loading transition module, a fruit loading module, a detection module, an automatic counterweight buffer grading and conveying module, a packaging module, a fruit cup return module, and fruit cups.

[0009] The fruit cup return module includes an ungraded fruit cup return conveying module, an empty cup return module, a main return conveying module, and a fruit cup return ramp conveying module.

[0010] The air-drying module includes cold air drying and hot air drying.

[0011] The high-pressure cleaning module, cold air drying module, hot air drying module, and fruit loading transition module are connected in sequence.

[0012] The fruit loading module, detection module, automatic counterweight buffer grading conveyor module, ungraded fruit cup return conveyor module, empty cup return module, main return conveyor module, and fruit cup return ramp conveyor module are connected end to end in sequence.

[0013] The automatic counterweight buffer grading and conveying module includes a counterweight buffer area and at least two counterweight grading ports. Each counterweight grading port is equipped with a corresponding packaging module. All packaging modules are connected to the main return conveying module via an empty cup return module.

[0014] This sorting machine, through the coordinated work of its various modules, can achieve fully automated operation of durians, including automatic cleaning, drying, loading, detection, weight sorting, and packaging. This greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of durian sorting, reduces manual intervention, lowers labor intensity, and enhances the stability and reliability of the sorting work, effectively meeting the needs of large-scale durian processing.

[0015] The detection module can be set up with an internal quality retrieval module, which uses X-rays to detect defects such as empty packages inside the durian.

[0016] Preferably, the above-mentioned automatic durian weight sorting machine includes a fruit cup comprising a fruit plate shell and a protective pad. The fruit plate shell includes a circular supporting bottom surface and a cylindrical supporting outer shell. The circular supporting bottom surface is provided with a first detection through hole. The cylindrical supporting outer shell and the circular supporting bottom surface together form an accommodating cavity. The edge of the first detection through hole is provided with a reserved mounting engagement part. The protective pad is provided with a downwardly extending mounting engagement part. The center of the mounting engagement part is provided with a through second detection through hole. The slot on the outer side of the mounting engagement part engages with the reserved mounting engagement part.

[0017] This structural design of the fruit cup provides stable support and storage space for the durian through the fruit plate shell, ensuring that the durian will not shake or fall during the sorting process. On the other hand, the protective pad can cushion and protect the durian skin, preventing mechanical damage when the durian comes into contact with the fruit cup. At the same time, the setting of the first and second detection through holes allows detection light or detection probes to pass through, thereby enabling accurate detection of parameters such as weight and size of the durian and ensuring the accuracy of sorting.

[0018] Preferably, in the above-described automatic durian sorting machine with automatic counterweight, the inner side of the cylindrical support shell is provided with an inwardly protruding internal support portion.

[0019] The internal support structure further increases the structural strength of the fruit tray shell, enabling it to withstand the weight of the durian without deformation. At the same time, when placing the durian, the internal support structure also plays a certain role in limiting its movement, preventing the durian from shaking excessively inside the fruit cup, which helps to improve the stability of the sorting process and the accuracy of the inspection.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-described automatic durian sorting machine with automatic counterweight, an upper limit protrusion is provided on the upper end of the cylindrical support shell.

[0021] The upper limit bump can limit the height of the durian, preventing it from becoming unstable due to being placed too high in the fruit cup, or from tipping over or colliding during subsequent transportation. This effectively protects the integrity of the durian and also facilitates the connection and transportation between the various modules of the sorting machine, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire sorting process.

[0022] Preferably, in the above-described automatic durian sorting machine with counterweight, the number of upper limit protrusions is at least 2 and they are connected to each other to form an arc-shaped groove.

[0023] Multiple upper limit protrusions are connected to form an arc-shaped groove, which can better fit the shape of the durian, provide more uniform limiting support, reduce local pressure on the durian skin, reduce the risk of damage, and can also adapt to the placement of durians of different sizes to a certain extent, improving the versatility and applicability of the fruit cup.

[0024] Preferably, in the above-described automatic durian sorting machine with automatic counterweight, the high-pressure cleaning module is equipped with a high-pressure nozzle.

[0025] High-pressure nozzles can generate a powerful water flow that efficiently washes away dirt, impurities, and other debris from the surface of durians, ensuring that the durians reach a high level of cleanliness before entering the subsequent sorting process. At the same time, the impact of the high-pressure water flow can also loosen the fruit stems, making subsequent processing easier and improving the overall sorting quality.

[0026] Preferably, in the durian automatic counterweight sorting machine described above, the high-pressure cleaning module is equipped with a circulation pump.

[0027] The circulation pump allows the cleaning water to be recycled within the system, which not only reduces water waste and lowers production costs, but also maintains stable water pressure within the cleaning module, ensuring that each durian receives a uniform and thorough cleaning, thus improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness, and aligning with the concept of environmentally friendly and energy-saving production.

[0028] Preferably, in the above-described automatic durian sorting machine with automatic counterweight, the hot air section is equipped with a temperature control feedback device and a hot air blower, and the temperature control feedback device is electrically connected to the hot air blower.

[0029] The temperature control feedback device can monitor the hot air temperature in real time and feed the temperature information back to the hot air blower. The hot air blower automatically adjusts the heating power according to the feedback signal, thereby achieving precise control of the hot air temperature. This avoids damage to the durian skin due to excessively high temperature or insufficient drying of the durian surface due to excessively low temperature, ensuring that the durian can be dried quickly and evenly at a suitable temperature, improving drying quality, shortening the sorting cycle, and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent sorting processes.
