Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine production equipment, specifically to a grape sorting device used in the wine processing process. Background Technology

[0002] During wine processing, after destemming, the grapes need to be sorted by size to separate small and large grapes. Grapes of uniform size help improve fermentation and winemaking efficiency, ensuring juice yield and product quality. The sorted large, medium, and small grapes can meet the needs of different markets.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN217411378U discloses a grape sorting device for wine processing, including support plates. Two support plates are vertically opposite each other, with a connecting rod snapped between one end of the two support plates and a connecting plate fixed between the other ends. Multiple downward-sloping sorting rods with gradually decreasing cross-sectional dimensions are arranged side-by-side between the connecting rod and the connecting plate, with a gap between each pair of adjacent sorting rods. The connecting plate includes a connecting part and a downward-sloping guide part located in front of the connecting part. The upper end of the sorting rod is fixed to the connecting rod, and the lower end is snapped onto the connecting part of the connecting plate, with the upper end of the sorting rod protruding from the upper surface of the connecting part. Multiple first storage boxes are arranged side-by-side below the sorting rods, and a second storage box is located below the guide part of the connecting plate. The beneficial effects of this utility model are: sorting grapes of different sizes through the gaps between adjacent sorting rods, and guiding unsorted grapes into the second storage box to avoid waste and accumulation at the ends of the sorting rods.

[0030] Tensioning wheels 7 are provided in multiple quantities, and the number of tensioning wheels 7 is equal to the number of sorting belts 8. The tensioning wheels 7 are mounted on the frame and their positions are adjustable. They are used to hold the sorting belt 8 between the drive guide wheel 6 and the adjusting guide wheel 17.

[0031] The receiving mechanism, set on frame 1, is used to receive the sorted grapes;

[0032] And baffles 11, which are set on the frame 1, block both sides of the sorting belt 8 in the direction of movement to prevent grapes from rolling off the edge and ensure that all grapes are sorted.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the rear rotating shaft 2 and the front rotating shaft 5 are rotatably connected to the frame 1 through the bearing seat 4; a motor is installed on the frame 1, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected to one end of the front rotating shaft 5 located below. In order to improve safety, a motor isolation cover 16 is installed on the frame 1, and the motor is located inside the motor isolation cover 16.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model proposes a grape sorting device for wine processing. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the structure of the receiving mechanism and the adjusting guide wheel 17.

[0036] The receiving mechanism includes a support plate 9 mounted on the frame 1 and multiple partitions 10 mounted on the support plate 9. A receiving space is formed between adjacent partitions 10. A receiving box can be placed in the receiving space in advance to catch the grapes that fall after sorting. Alternatively, the falling grapes can be conveyed outward by setting an inclined guide plate. It can also be used in conjunction with a conveyor belt, which passes longitudinally through the receiving space. The sorting belt 8 passes under the support plate 9 after sorting.

[0037] A collar 18 is provided on the end face of the adjusting guide wheel 17. Both the collar 18 and the adjusting guide wheel 17 are fitted onto the front rotating shaft 5. Multiple threaded holes 20 are provided equidistantly along the axial direction on the front rotating shaft 5. The collar 18 is provided with a through hole opposite to one of the threaded holes 20. The collar 18 is locked by a locking bolt 19. By changing the locking bolt 19 and screwing it into different threaded holes 20, the position of the adjusting guide wheel 17 can be adjusted to adapt to the sorting of different varieties of grapes.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] like Figures 3-4 As shown, this utility model proposes a grape sorting device for wine processing. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the adjustment structure of the tension wheel 7.

[0040] A fixed plate 12 is provided on the frame 1. The fixed plate 12 has multiple threaded holes and through holes. A quarter notch is provided on the tensioning wheel 7. A first guide rod 13 and a first adjusting bolt 14 are provided on the notch. The first adjusting bolt 14 passes through the threaded hole on the fixed plate 12 and is rotatably connected to the notch. By rotating the first adjusting bolt 14, the position of the tensioning wheel 7 can be changed to tension different sorting belts 8. After the spacing between the sorting belts 8 is adjusted and distributed, the tensioning wheel 7 needs to be adjusted accordingly. A clearance groove 15 for operating the first adjusting bolt 14 is provided on the partition plate 10.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a grape sorting device for wine processing. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the adjustment structure of the baffle 11.

In an optional embodiment, the rotating component 22 includes two flat plates arranged side by side on the baffle 11, a rotating shaft vertically and rotatably arranged between the two flat plates, a rotating sleeve sleeved on the rotating shaft, and a square plate connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve. The second guide rods 23 and the second adjusting bolt 24 are both arranged on the square plate. In this embodiment, the rotating sleeve is a rubber sleeve, and the inner diameter of the rubber sleeve is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft. The two achieve an interference fit, and the rubber sleeve provides a large rotational resistance.

[0045] In summary, when using this utility model, first adjust the appropriate spacing and direction of the sorting belt 8 according to the grape varieties to be sorted. Secure the adjusting guide wheel 17 with the locking bolt 19, and then adjust the first adjusting bolt 14 on each tensioning wheel 7 one by one to tension each sorting belt 8. Start the motor to drive the front rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive guide wheel 6 to rotate, thus starting the entire sorting belt 8 to move. Pour the destemmed grapes onto the starting end of the sorting area of ​​the sorting belt 8.
