[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, a motor-driven rotating rod rotates the sorting cylinder. Utilizing the differences in the diameters of the small, medium, and large holes on the sorting cylinder, as well as the tilted design of the cylinder, the fruit automatically slides down from the inside of the sorting cylinder, undergoing automatic sorting as it falls. This achieves automatic classification of fruits of different sizes. Smaller fruits fall into their corresponding packaging boxes first through the small holes, while medium and larger fruits fall into their respective packaging boxes through the medium and large holes, respectively. No manual intervention is required, significantly improving sorting efficiency and accuracy, and meeting the needs of large-scale fruit sorting.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the movable frame can be moved, and the movable frame slides on the sliding track via a sliding block. At the same time, the tape tube rotates via a rotating shaft, causing the tape on the outer wall of the tape tube to be automatically pulled open, sealing the packaging box. The cooperation between the telescopic joint and the spring allows for easy disassembly and assembly of the tape tube. Turning the handle drives the rotating rod and the blade to rotate, conveniently and quickly cutting the tape and completing the sealing of the packaging box. The sorting and sealing processes are closely integrated, realizing an integrated operation from sorting to sealing, simplifying the process and effectively improving the overall efficiency of fruit packaging.

The rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 3 through the provided rotating interface. Two sets of connecting rings 7 are provided on the outside of the rotating rod 4. Four sets of spokes 12 are provided between the inner wall of the two sets of connecting rings 7 and the outer wall of the rotating rod 4. The spokes 12 are used to fix the connecting rings 7 to the outer wall of the rotating rod 4. A sorting cylinder 6 is provided between the side walls of the two sets of connecting rings 7. The connecting rings 7 are used to install the sorting cylinder 6, which is used to sort the fruit. The front outer wall of the sorting cylinder 6 is provided with multiple sets of small holes 10, the middle outer wall of the sorting cylinder 6 is provided with multiple sets of medium holes 9, and the rear outer wall of the sorting cylinder 6 is provided with multiple sets of large holes 8. The small holes 10, medium holes 9, and large holes 8 are used to classify the fruits according to size. The sorting cylinder 6 is in an inclined state, with the front height of the sorting cylinder 6 being higher than the rear height. The front middle of the sorting cylinder 6 is provided with a feed inlet. The fruits are put into the middle of the front middle of the sorting cylinder 6. The angle of inclination of the sorting cylinder 6 is small. At the same time, the spokes 12 have a certain blocking effect when rotating, which makes it easy for the fruits to slide down slowly inside the sorting cylinder 6, preventing small or medium fruits from being missed by the small holes 10 or medium holes 9. A motor 5 is provided on the outer wall of a set of mounting frames 3. The motor 5 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 4. The motor 5 is used to drive the rotating rod 4 to rotate, thereby driving the sorting cylinder 6 to rotate.
[0024] like Figures 1-6As shown, two sets of sliding rails 13 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the base plate 1. Each set of sliding rails 13 has a set of sliding blocks 14 at its upper end, which can slide in the middle of the sliding rails 13. A set of movable frames 15 is provided above the two sets of sliding blocks 14, which can slide on the upper end of the sliding rails 13 via the sliding blocks 14. Three sets of tape reels 16 are provided in the middle of the upper end of the movable frames 15. Tape is wound around the outer wall of each tape reel 16. Rotating shafts 23 are provided between the two ends of each tape reel 16 and the movable frames 15, allowing the tape reel 16 to rotate in the middle of the movable frames 15 via the rotating shafts 23, facilitating the pulling of the tape. A telescopic joint 21 is provided at the rear end of one rotating shaft 23, allowing the telescopic joint 21 to move in the middle of the movable frames 15. A spring 22 is provided between the rear end of the telescopic joint 21 and the inner wall of the movable frames 15, allowing the telescopic joint 21 to move elastically with the movable frames 15 via the spring 22, facilitating the movement of the tape reel 16. For disassembly and assembly, two sets of mounting plates 17 are also provided on the outer wall of the movable frame 15 on both sides of the tape tube 16. A rotating rod 18 is provided between the side walls of the two sets of mounting plates 17. The rotating rod 18 can rotate in the middle of the mounting plate 17. A blade 19 is provided on the lower outer wall of the rotating rod 18. The blade 19 can be rotated by the rotating rod 18. The blade 19 is located on the front side of the tape tube 16 and is used to cut the tape. A handle 20 is provided on the outer wall of one set of mounting plates 17. The handle 20 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 18. The handle 20 makes it easy for people to rotate the rotating rod 18. At the same time, there is friction between the rotating rod 18 and the mounting plate 17, which can maintain the position through friction. Three sets of packaging boxes 11 are also provided on the upper end of the base plate 1. The three sets of packaging boxes 11 are respectively located below the small hole 10, the medium hole 9 and the large hole 8. The three sets of tape tubes 16 are respectively located above the three sets of packaging boxes 11. The three sets of packaging boxes 11 are used to package fruits of different sizes.
[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is a fruit packaging device with a sorting function. In use, an appropriate amount of fruit is placed into the sorting cylinder 6 from the front center to prevent the fruit from piling up inside. The motor 5 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate slowly, which in turn drives the sorting cylinder 6 to rotate slowly. The fruit slowly slides downwards inside the sorting cylinder 6. Smaller fruits fall through the small hole 10, medium-sized fruits through the medium hole 9, and larger fruits through the large hole 8, falling into the three sets of packaging boxes 11 respectively. After filling the box, people close the box 11 and pull out tape from the outer wall of the three tape tubes 16. They then stick the tape to one side wall of the box 11 and move the frame 15 backward. The three tape tubes 16 rotate in the middle of the frame 15 via the rotating shaft 23, and the tape is automatically pulled apart. After sticking the tape to the top of the box 11, people turn the handle 20 to rotate the rotating rod 18 and the blade 19. The blade 19 cuts the tape, and then the tape is further stuck to the box 11, thus completing the sorting and packaging process of the fruit.
