Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting technology, and in particular to an output mechanism and a fruit and vegetable sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fruits and vegetables are a type of food that people often consume. Fruits and vegetables include cherries, apples, pears, and tomatoes, among others. After ripening, fruits and vegetables need to be harvested and then transported to factories for sorting and processing to facilitate subsequent packaging and sales.

[0003] In related technologies, fruit and vegetable sorting devices may include a sorting mechanism and an output mechanism. Generally, the fruits and vegetables on the sorting mechanism can be pushed so that they fall into the output mechanism, and the output mechanism drives the fruits and vegetables to the corresponding packaging area or boxing area.

[0004] However, fruits and vegetables may have high speeds as they fall onto the output mechanism, causing them to collide with and be damaged. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an output mechanism and a fruit and vegetable sorting device to solve the technical problem in the prior art that fruits and vegetables may have a large speed when falling to the output mechanism, causing them to collide with the output mechanism and be damaged.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model embodiment is addressed by the following technical solution:

[0007] An output mechanism is provided, comprising:

[0008] frame;

[0009] A flexible guide component, which is mounted on the frame;

[0010] A brush roller assembly is rotatably connected to the frame, and a guide channel is formed between the brush roller assembly and the flexible guide member;

[0011] An output channel is mounted on the rack, and the output end of the guide channel is connected to the input end of the output channel.

[0012] With the above structure, as the brush roller assembly rotates continuously, it can contact the fruits and vegetables and move them to the input end of the guide channel. When the fruits and vegetables enter the input end of the guide channel, they will have a certain speed, so that they will collide with the flexible guide. When the flexible guide collides with the fruits and vegetables, it will buffer the fruits and vegetables to reduce the impact force on them, thereby reducing the possibility of damage caused by the fruits and vegetables colliding with the flexible guide.

[0013] In addition, a guide channel is formed between the brush roller assembly and the flexible guide. During the rotation of the brush roller assembly relative to the frame, it can drive the fruits and vegetables through the guide channel. Both the brush roller assembly and the flexible guide will press against the fruits and vegetables, but the pressure between the flexible guide and the fruits and vegetables is smaller, so as to reduce the possibility of the fruits and vegetables being squeezed and damaged when passing through the guide channel.

[0014] In some embodiments, the frame includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion, the flexible guide has a snap-fit ​​groove located between the input end and the output end of the guide channel, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove; the flexible guide includes a guide arc surface, the guide channel is formed between the guide arc surface and the brush roller assembly, and the guide arc surface is wrapped around the brush roller assembly.

[0015] With the above structure, the snap-fit ​​protrusion engages within the slot, allowing the flexible guide to be more stably fixed relative to the frame, thus ensuring greater stability of the guide arc surface and preventing excessive deformation during operation. Furthermore, by pulling the snap-fit ​​protrusion out of the slot, the flexible guide can be disassembled from the frame for easy replacement or cleaning.

[0016] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the brush roller assembly is perpendicular to the guide channel, and the snap-fit ​​protrusions include two sets, one set of the snap-fit ​​protrusions located at one end of the brush roller assembly, and the other set of the snap-fit ​​protrusions located at the other opposite end of the brush roller assembly; each snap-fit ​​protrusion snaps into a corresponding slot.

[0017] With the above structure, the rotation axis of the brush roller assembly is perpendicular to the guide channel, so that the distance between the guide channel and the brush roller assembly is the same at all points in the direction of the rotation axis of the brush roller assembly. Fruits and vegetables can contact the bristles on the periphery of the brush roller assembly at all points in the guide channel. The brush roller assembly can drive the fruits and vegetables in the guide channel to move, so as to avoid the fruits and vegetables from being blocked in the guide channel.

[0018] In some embodiments, the input end of the guide channel is higher than the output end of the guide channel.

[0019] With the above structure, the input end of the guide channel is higher than the output end of the guide channel. Under the influence of gravity, the fruits and vegetables are more likely to move from the input end to the output end of the guide channel, so as to avoid the fruits and vegetables from getting blocked in the guide channel.

[0020] In some embodiments, the guide channel is located on one side of the output channel and is perpendicular to the output channel;

[0021] The input end of the guide channel is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the output end of the guide channel is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0022] With the above structure, the guide channel is located on one side of the output channel, making the total length of the output mechanism shorter in the conveying direction of the output channel, thus making the structure of the output mechanism more compact and requiring less installation space. When fruits and vegetables enter the output channel, they have a certain initial velocity. The guide channel is perpendicular to the output channel, so that when fruits and vegetables enter the output channel, they can move a certain distance in the conveying direction perpendicular to the output channel, and then the fruits and vegetables output by the guide channel can fall into the input end of the output channel.

[0023] In addition, the input end of the guide channel is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that fruits and vegetables can fall into the guide channel more easily; the output end of the guide channel is parallel to the horizontal plane, so that fruits and vegetables can move horizontally when they enter the output channel, thus avoiding damage from impacting the output channel.

[0024] In some embodiments, the frame includes two first fasteners and two second fasteners, one set of the snap-fit ​​protrusions is connected to one of the first fasteners, and another set of the snap-fit ​​protrusions is connected to the other first fastener. The side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion facing away from the first fastener is connected to a corresponding second fastener. The first fastener and the corresponding second fastener clamp the flexible guide.

[0025] With the above structure, the first fixing member and a corresponding second fixing member clamp the flexible guide member, so that the flexible guide member can be installed more stably on the frame, the guide arc surface can be maintained more stably, and the guide arc surface is easier to recover after being deformed by the pressure of fruits and vegetables during the operation of the output mechanism.

[0026] In some embodiments, both the first fixing member and the second fixing member are plate-shaped structures. The first fixing member is perpendicular to the guide arc surface and abuts against the guide arc surface. The second fixing member is arc-shaped and abuts against the surface of the flexible guide member facing away from the guide arc surface.

[0027] With the above structure, the first fixing member is perpendicular to the guide arc surface, so that the contact area between the guide arc surface and the first fixing member is smaller, and the guide arc surface has a larger area to guide the fruits and vegetables. The second fixing member is arc-shaped and abuts against the surface of the flexible guide member facing away from the guide arc surface, so that the contact area between the second fixing member and the flexible guide member is larger, and the first fixing member and the second fixing member can clamp the flexible guide member more stably.

[0028] In some embodiments, the brush roller assembly includes:

[0029] A rotating shaft assembly, which is rotatably connected to the frame;

[0030] A roller component is sleeved on the rotating shaft component, and the roller component is circumferentially provided with bristles. The roller component and the flexible guide form the guide channel.

[0031] With the above structure, the roller component is provided with bristles in the circumferential direction, so that when the rotating shaft component drives the roller component to rotate, the bristles in the circumferential direction of the roller component can contact and drive the fruits and vegetables to move to the input end of the guide channel.

[0032] In some embodiments, there are multiple roller components, all of which are arranged sequentially on the rotating shaft component, with a gap between two adjacent roller components, and each roller component forms a corresponding guide channel with the flexible guide member.

[0033] With the above structure, there are multiple roller components, and consequently multiple guide channels, so that the output mechanism can simultaneously supply multiple fruits and vegetables to improve the conveying efficiency of fruits and vegetables.

[0034] Compared with existing technologies, as the brush roller assembly rotates continuously, it can contact the fruits and vegetables and move them to the input end of the guide channel. When the fruits and vegetables enter the input end of the guide channel, they will have a certain speed, so that they will collide with the flexible guide. When the flexible guide collides with the fruits and vegetables, it will buffer the fruits and vegetables to reduce the impact force on them, thereby reducing the possibility of damage caused by the fruits and vegetables colliding with the flexible guide.

[0035] In addition, a guide channel is formed between the brush roller assembly and the flexible guide. During the rotation of the brush roller assembly relative to the frame, it can drive the fruits and vegetables through the guide channel. Both the brush roller assembly and the flexible guide will press against the fruits and vegetables, but the pressure between the flexible guide and the fruits and vegetables is smaller, so as to reduce the possibility of the fruits and vegetables being squeezed and damaged when passing through the guide channel.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. 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.

[0047] The following detailed description, in conjunction with all the accompanying drawings, of a specific embodiment of the present application provides an output mechanism 100 and a fruit and vegetable sorting device.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this utility model discloses an output mechanism 100, including a frame 10, a flexible guide 20, a brush roller assembly 30, and an output channel 50; the flexible guide 20 is installed on the frame 10; the brush roller assembly 30 is rotatably connected to the frame 10, and a guide channel 40 is formed between the brush roller assembly 30 and the flexible guide 20; the output channel 50 is installed on the frame 10, and the output end of the guide channel 40 is connected to the input end of the output channel 50.

[0049] With the above structure, as the brush roller assembly 30 rotates continuously, it can contact the fruits and vegetables and drive them to the input end of the guide channel 40. When the fruits and vegetables enter the input end of the guide channel 40, they will have a certain speed, so that they will collide with the flexible guide member 20. When the flexible guide member 20 collides with the fruits and vegetables, it will buffer the fruits and vegetables to reduce the impact force on them, thereby reducing the possibility of damage caused by the fruits and vegetables colliding with the flexible guide member 20.

[0050] In addition, a guide channel 40 is formed between the brush roller assembly 30 and the flexible guide 20. During the rotation of the brush roller assembly 30 relative to the frame 10, it can drive the fruits and vegetables through the guide channel 40. Both the brush roller assembly 30 and the flexible guide 20 will press against the fruits and vegetables. The pressure between the flexible guide 20 and the fruits and vegetables is smaller, so as to reduce the possibility of the fruits and vegetables being squeezed and damaged when passing through the guide channel 40.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 10 can be a mounting platform, and the flexible guide 20 can be a sheet-like structure made of rubber. The flexible guide 20 can be fixed to the frame 10 by snap-fit. The brush roller assembly 30 can be provided with bristles on its periphery. The two ends of the brush roller assembly 30 can be rotatably connected to the frame 10 by bearing connection. The brush roller assembly 30 can be driven by a motor installed on the frame 10 so that the brush roller assembly 30 can rotate at a uniform speed relative to the frame 10. The flexible guide 20 can be arranged around the periphery of the brush roller assembly 30 so that the flexible guide 20 has an arc-like structure.

[0052] The conveying direction L1 of the guide channel 40 can be a quarter-circle arc structure, and the output channel 50 can be a motor-driven conveyor belt structure. The width of the output channel 50 can gradually decrease in the direction from the input end to the output end of the output channel 50.

[0053] In other embodiments, the frame 10 may also be of other structures, such as a frame structure composed of steel bars; the flexible guide 20 may also be made of other materials, such as silicone; the flexible guide 20 may also be of other structures, such as a block shape; the output channel 50 may also be of other structures, such as a chain plate structure driven by a motor; the width of the output channel 50 may also be the same at all points.

[0054] In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 12, and the flexible guide 20 has a snap-fit ​​groove 202 located between the input end and the output end of the guide channel 40, with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 snapped into the groove 202; the flexible guide 20 includes a guide arc surface 22, and the guide channel 40 is formed between the guide arc surface 22 and the brush roller assembly 30, with the guide arc surface 22 surrounding the brush roller assembly 30.

[0055] With the above structure, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 snaps into the slot 202, so that the flexible guide 20 can be more stably fixed relative to the frame 10, thereby making the guide arc surface 22 more stable and avoiding excessive deformation of the guide arc surface 22 during operation. In addition, by pulling the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 out of the slot 202, the flexible guide 20 can be disassembled from the frame 10 for replacement or cleaning.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the flexible guide 20 can be inserted into the frame 10. A set of slots 202 can be provided on the left and right sides of the flexible guide 20. The slots 202 can be rectangular through slots. The snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 can be connected to the sheet metal structure. The snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 protrude from the sheet metal structure on the side facing the flexible guide 20. The snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 pass through the slots 202 and are inserted into the frame 10, so that the left and right sides of the flexible guide 20 can be clamped by the frame 10, and the flexible guide 20 can be more stably fixed on the frame 10.

[0057] Each set of slots 202 may include multiple slots 202. All the slots 202 in a set of slots 202 are arranged sequentially from the upper side to the lower side of the flexible guide 20.

[0058] In other embodiments, the slot 202 may also be other shapes, such as elliptical or circular; the slot 202 may also be provided at other locations of the flexible guide 20, such as the middle; other numbers of slots 202 may also be provided on the left and right sides of the flexible guide 20, such as one on each side.

[0059] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the brush roller assembly 30 is perpendicular to the guide channel 40, and the snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 include two sets, one set of snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 is located at one end of the brush roller assembly 30, and the other set of snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 is located at the other opposite end of the brush roller assembly 30; each snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 snaps into a corresponding slot 202.

[0060] With the above structure, the rotation axis of the brush roller assembly 30 is perpendicular to the guide channel 40, so that the distance between the guide channel 40 and the brush roller assembly 30 is the same at all points in the direction of the rotation axis of the brush roller assembly 30. Fruits and vegetables can contact the bristles on the periphery of the brush roller assembly 30 at all points in the guide channel 40. The brush roller assembly 30 can drive the fruits and vegetables in the guide channel 40 to move, so as to avoid the fruits and vegetables from getting blocked in the guide channel 40.

[0061] Specifically, each set of snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 is connected to the same plate-shaped steel structure, which can abut against one side of the guide arc surface 22.

[0062] In some embodiments, the input end of the guide channel 40 is higher than the output end of the guide channel 40.

[0063] With the above structure, the input end of the guide channel 40 is higher than the output end of the guide channel 40. Under the influence of gravity, the fruits and vegetables are more likely to move from the input end of the guide channel 40 to the output end of the guide channel 40, so as to avoid the fruits and vegetables from getting blocked in the guide channel 40.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the input end of the guide channel 40 is located at the highest point of the guide channel 40, and the output end of the guide channel 40 is located at the lowest point of the guide channel 40.

[0065] In other embodiments, the output end of the guide channel 40 may also be located at other positions of the guide channel 40, for example, the output end of the guide channel 40 may be located in the middle of the guide channel 40.

[0066] In some embodiments, the guide channel 40 is located on one side of the output channel 50 and is perpendicular to the output channel 50; the input end of the guide channel 40 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and the output end of the guide channel 40 is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0067] With the above structure, the guide channel 40 is located on one side of the output channel 50, so that the total length of the output mechanism 100 is shorter in the conveying direction L2 of the output channel 50, making the structure of the output mechanism 100 more compact and requiring less installation space. When fruits and vegetables enter the output channel 50, they have a certain initial velocity. The guide channel 40 is perpendicular to the output channel 50, so that when fruits and vegetables enter the output channel 50, they can move a certain distance in the conveying direction L2 perpendicular to the output channel 50, and then the fruits and vegetables output by the guide channel 40 can fall into the input end of the output channel 50.

[0068] In addition, the input end of the guide channel 40 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane so that fruits and vegetables can fall into the guide channel 40 more easily; the output end of the guide channel 40 is parallel to the horizontal plane so that fruits and vegetables can move horizontally when they enter the output channel 50, so as to avoid the fruits and vegetables hitting the output channel 50 and being damaged.

[0069] Specifically, the guide channel 40 can be a structure similar to a quarter circle arc, so that the input end of the guide channel 40 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and the output end of the guide channel 40 is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and, Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes two first fasteners 14 and two second fasteners 16. A set of snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 are connected to one of the first fasteners 14, and another set of snap-fit ​​protrusions 12 are connected to the other first fastener 14. The side of each snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 facing away from the first fastener 14 is connected to a corresponding second fastener 16. Each first fastener 14 and its corresponding second fastener 16 clamp the flexible guide 20.

[0071] With the above structure, the first fixing member 14 and the corresponding second fixing member 16 clamp the flexible guide member 20, so that the flexible guide member 20 can be installed more stably on the frame 10, the guide arc surface 22 can be maintained more stably, and the guide arc surface 22 is easier to recover after being deformed by the pressure of fruits and vegetables during the operation of the output mechanism 100.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first fixing member 14 is a steel plate structure. The first fixing member 14 is perpendicular to the guide arc surface 22. The side of the first fixing member 14 connected to the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 is arc-shaped, so that when the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 is snapped into the slot 202, the first fixing member 14 can fit more closely to the guide arc surface 22. The first fixing member 14 and the corresponding second fixing member 16 can clamp the flexible guide member 20 more stably.

[0073] The second fixing member 16 can be a steel structure connected to the end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 facing away from the first fixing member 14. The second fixing member 16 and the first fixing member 14 respectively abut against two opposite surfaces of the flexible guide member 20, so that the first fixing member 14 and the corresponding second fixing member 16 clamp the flexible guide member 20.

[0074] In other embodiments, the first fastener 14 may also be of other structures, such as a block structure; the first fastener 14 may also be made of other materials, such as plastic.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 14 and the second fixing member 16 are both plate-shaped structures. The first fixing member 14 is perpendicular to the guide arc surface 22 and abuts against the guide arc surface 22. The second fixing member 16 is arc-shaped and abuts against the surface of the flexible guide member 20 facing away from the guide arc surface 22.

[0076] With the above structure, the first fixing member 14 is perpendicular to the guide arc surface 22, so that the contact area between the guide arc surface 22 and the first fixing member 14 is smaller, and the guide arc surface 22 has a larger area to guide the fruits and vegetables. The second fixing member 16 is arc-shaped and abuts against the surface of the flexible guide member 20 facing away from the guide arc surface 22, so that the contact area between the second fixing member 16 and the flexible guide member 20 is larger, and the first fixing member 14 and the second fixing member 16 can more stably clamp the flexible guide member 20.

[0077] Specifically, the second fixing member 16 can be a sheet of metal with a surface parallel to the guide arc surface 22, so that when the second fixing member 16 abuts against the surface of the flexible guide member 20 facing away from the guide arc surface 22, the contact area between the second fixing member 16 and the flexible guide member 20 is larger.

[0078] In some embodiments, the brush roller assembly 30 includes a rotating shaft component 32 and a roller component 34; the rotating shaft component 32 is rotatably connected to the frame 10; the roller component 34 is sleeved on the rotating shaft component 32, the roller component 34 is circumferentially provided with bristles, and a guide channel 40 is formed between the roller component 34 and the flexible guide 20.

[0079] With the above structure, the roller component 34 is provided with bristles in the circumference, so that when the rotating shaft component 32 drives the roller component 34 to rotate, the bristles in the circumference of the roller component 34 can contact and drive the fruits and vegetables to move to the input end of the guide channel 40.

[0080] Specifically, the rotating shaft component 32 can be a slender cylindrical structure, and the two ends of the rotating shaft component 32 can be rotatably connected to the frame 10 by means of bearing connection; the roller component 34 can be fixed to the rotating shaft component 32 by welding or snap-fit.

[0081] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 In some embodiments, there are multiple roller components 34, all of which are arranged sequentially on the rotating shaft component 32. There is a gap between two adjacent roller components 34, and each roller component 34 forms a corresponding guide channel 40 with the flexible guide 20.

[0082] With the above structure, there are multiple roller components 34, and thus multiple guide channels 40, so that the output mechanism 100 can simultaneously supply multiple fruits and vegetables to improve the conveying efficiency of fruits and vegetables.

[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three roller components 34, and the distance between any two adjacent roller components 34 is equal.

[0084] In other embodiments, the number of roller components 34 may also be other, such as two or four.

Fruits and vegetables are placed into the feeding mechanism, which is used to transport the fruits and vegetables to the fruit and vegetable sorting mechanism. The fruit and vegetable sorting mechanism collects information about the fruits and vegetables, such as weight information or surface image information. Based on this information, the fruit and vegetable sorting mechanism can transport the fruits and vegetables to a corresponding output mechanism 100, which can then transport the fruits and vegetables to a packaging area.
