Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a fruit sorting machine, belonging to the field of fruit testing and food testing technology. Background Technology
[0002] my country is a major fruit producer. Fruits produced in China need to undergo a series of processing steps from farmland to market.

Subsequently, the sorting pulley 15 and the conveyor pulley 16, through the sorting belt 17 and the conveyor belt 43, respectively drive the sorting pulley 18 and the sorting pulley 14 to rotate. Then, the sorting pulley 18 drives the sorting shaft 23 and the guide spiral blade 41 to rotate. The guide spiral blade 41 then guides the fruit in the sorting trough forward. The fruit then undergoes a three-stage screening process through the primary feeding screen 35, the secondary feeding screen 33, and the tertiary feeding screen 31. The sieve holes of the three sieve plates 31 gradually enlarge, so the fruit passes through the three-stage screening in stages, avoiding large-scale inconsistencies in fruit size after screening. The screened fruit then falls onto the first-stage conveyor belt 11, the second-stage conveyor belt 10, and the third-stage conveyor belt 9 through the first-stage discharge chute 36, the second-stage discharge chute 34, and the third-stage discharge chute 32, respectively. As the sorting pulley 14 rotates, it drives the first-stage conveyor belt 11, the second-stage conveyor belt 10, and the third-stage conveyor belt 9 to rotate with the assistance of the driven shaft 38 via the drive shaft 42. This achieves automatic conveying of the fruit on the first-stage conveyor belt 11, the second-stage conveyor belt 10, and the third-stage conveyor belt 9, saving time and labor while greatly reducing the time required for manual sorting.

The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
