[0029] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, an automatic sorting and conveying machine for fruit and vegetable waste processing provided by this utility model embodiment includes: a frame 1, a first conveyor belt 2 disposed inside the frame 1, a feed pipe 3 disposed at one end of the upper surface of the frame 1, two sets of crushing rollers 4 disposed inside the feed pipe 3, a water storage tank disposed at the lower end of the frame 1, and a receiving box 7 disposed inside the water storage tank; a sorting component 5 disposed at the other end of the upper surface of the frame 1, the sorting component 5 being disposed vertically corresponding to the first conveyor belt 2 for cleaning plastic waste; and a pushing component 6 disposed on one side of the frame 1, one end of the pushing component 6 being disposed corresponding to the first conveyor belt 2, and the receiving box 7 being interconnected with the first conveyor belt 2.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during operation, the fruit and vegetable waste is discharged into the machine frame 1 through the feed pipe 3. As it passes through the feed pipe 3, it first passes through two sets of crushing rollers 4 to break up the waste. At the same time, the plastic bags wrapping the waste are torn open, and the broken waste falls onto the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2. It is then conveyed by the first conveyor belt 2. When it reaches the sorting component 5, the sorting component 5 hooks up the plastic bags inside. The sorted waste is then discharged from the first conveyor belt 2, and the cleaned plastic bags are discharged from one side outwards. This achieves automatic sorting, improves work efficiency, avoids personal injury to workers, and effectively solves the problem of manually sorting the household waste inside the fruit and vegetable waste.

[0032] After sorting is completed, the pushing component 6 is activated to scrape the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2, pushing water stains or small impurities on the surface of the first conveyor belt 2 to one side, so that the water stains or small impurities are discharged into the receiving box 7 for collection and treatment. This achieves the effect of facilitating the cleaning of the first conveyor belt 2, avoiding water stains remaining on the surface of the first conveyor belt 2 for a long time, which would cause corrosion and damage to the first conveyor belt 2, thereby extending its service life and reducing maintenance costs.

[0033] Furthermore, the pushing component 6 includes a pushing mechanism 601 and a blocking mechanism 602. The pushing mechanism 601 is located on one side of the frame 1, and the blocking mechanism 602 is located on the other side of the frame 1. A slot is opened on one side baffle of the first conveyor belt 2, and one end of the blocking mechanism 602 is located inside the slot.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the pushing mechanism 601 and the blocking mechanism 602 start simultaneously. The pushing mechanism 601 pushes one end of the blocking mechanism 602, and the blocking mechanism 602 retracts in the same direction at the same time, exposing the trough on one side of the first conveyor belt 2. This allows the water stains or small impurities cleaned by the pushing mechanism 601 to be pushed towards the trough and discharged from the trough into the receiving box 7, thus achieving the effect of convenient use.

[0035] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism 601 includes a bracket 6011, a cylinder 6012 is provided in the middle of one side of the bracket 6011, a push plate 603 is provided at one end of the piston rod of the cylinder 6012, and the push plate 603 is correspondingly provided with the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2; guide rods 604 are provided at both ends of one side of the bracket 6011, and one end of the guide rod 604 is provided on one side of the push plate 603.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the starting cylinder 6012 pushes the push plate 603, which slides on the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2. The push plate 603 cleans the surface of the first conveyor belt 2. When the push plate 603 moves, the guide rods 604 on both sides slide along with it to assist the push plate 603 and improve the stability of the push plate 603 during its movement.

[0037] Furthermore, the push plate 603 includes a connecting plate 6033. Multiple sets of mounting slots are provided on one side of the connecting plate 6033. A reset spring 6032 is provided inside the mounting slot. A scraper 6031 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 6033. The scraper 6031 is elastically connected to the reset spring 6032. The lower end of the scraper 6031 is arc-shaped.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate 6033 and the side plate of the first conveyor belt 2 are set at the same level. In use, after the connecting plate 6033 is removed from the side plate, the scraper 6031 will slide down after the connecting plate 6033 is removed due to the characteristics of the return spring 6032, so that the scraper 6031 is in contact with the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2. Conversely, when the connecting plate 6033 is reset, the arc-shaped surface of one side of the scraper 6031 contacts the side plate. With the pull caused by the retraction, the scraper 6031 rises along the side plate and resets, thus achieving convenient use and avoiding jamming.

[0039] Furthermore, the material blocking mechanism 602 includes a movable plate 6021 and an electric push rod 6022. The electric push rod 6022 is disposed on one side of the frame 1, and the movable plate 6021 is disposed on one side of one end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 6022. The movable plate 6021 is disposed in a corresponding manner with the slot opening.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the electric push rod 6022 is activated to drive the movable plate 6021 to slide horizontally on one side of the frame 1, thereby sealing the trough when not cleaning to prevent fruit and vegetable waste from flowing into the trough during transportation. When cleaning, the movable plate 6021 is removed from the inside of the trough, allowing the cleaned water stains or small impurities to flow into the trough, thereby improving practicality.

[0041] Furthermore, the sorting component 5 includes a mounting frame 501, inside which a second conveyor belt 502 is provided, and on the surface of the second conveyor belt 502 a multi-group sorting mechanism 503 is provided, the sorting mechanism 503 being arranged vertically corresponding to the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2, and a feeding tray 504 being provided on one side of the mounting frame 501.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second conveyor belt 502 is started, driving the multi-group sorting mechanism 503 to move. The sorting mechanism 503 below the second conveyor belt 502 hooks the garbage bags on the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2. After hooking, the sorting mechanism 503 moves to the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 502. The sorting mechanism 503 is upside down, and the garbage bags may fall onto the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 502. The garbage bags continue to be conveyed and discharged onto the discharge tray 504. After the sorting mechanism 503 moves to the position of the discharge tray 504, the sorting mechanism 503 is not only upside down but also tilted. At this time, the garbage bags will automatically fall off the sorting mechanism 503 and fall onto the discharge tray 504, thereby achieving the effect of conveniently selecting garbage bags inside the fruit and vegetable waste and improving work efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, both sides of the inner wall of the mounting frame 501 are provided with sliding grooves, and an electric telescopic rod 507 is installed inside the sliding groove. One end of the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 507 is provided with a support plate 506, and the support plate 506 is located below the baffle on one side of the second conveyor belt 502.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the electric telescopic rod 507 is activated, which drives the pallet 506 to rise, thereby pushing the second conveyor belt 502 to rise and increasing the distance between the sorting mechanism 503 and the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2, thus effectively avoiding affecting the movement of the pushing component 6.

[0045] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism 503 includes two sets of fixed rods 5032, a movable rod 5033 is slidably installed inside the fixed rod 5032, a connecting spring 5034 is provided between the movable rod 5033 and the fixed rod 5032, a long rod 5031 is provided between the two sets of movable rods 5033, and multiple sets of hooks 5035 are provided on the lower surface of the long rod 5031.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, multiple sets of hooks 5035 are supported by two sets of fixed rods 5032 and long rods 5031. When the second conveyor belt 502 operates, it drives the hooks 5035 to move and hook the garbage bag, thereby achieving the effect of convenient cleaning.

[0047] It should be noted that after the fruit and vegetable waste is crushed, the fruit, peel or vegetable leaves will be broken up, and the outer surface of the hook 5035 is smooth. When the hook 5035 comes into contact with the fruit, peel or vegetable leaves, it will not hook the fruit, peel or vegetable leaves. The plastic bag will be lifted by the impact of the hook 5035, thus completing the sorting function.

[0048] Furthermore, a guide block 505 is provided at the lower end of one side of the mounting bracket 501, and an arc plate 5036 is provided on one side of the long rod 5031. The arc plate 5036 and the guide block 505 are arranged in a corresponding manner.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the guide block 505 is set on the upper surface of the frame 1, but the first conveyor belt 2 is located inside the frame 1. This is to prevent the hook 5035 from passing through the guide block 505 first when it moves to the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 2. The arc plate 5036 contacts the arc surface of one side of the guide block 505, so that the movable rod 5033 retracts into the fixed rod 5032. When it no longer contacts the guide block 505, the fixed rod 5032 will be reset by the connecting spring 5034, thereby achieving the effect of convenient use.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
