[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of an agricultural and sideline product conveying device with sorting function, comprising a sorting conveyor box 1, a partition plate 101 fixedly connected to the middle of the interior of the sorting conveyor box 1, a first sorting outlet 103 provided at the rear end of one side end face of the sorting conveyor box 1, a second sorting outlet 105 provided at the front end of the other side end face of the sorting conveyor box 1, conical conveying rollers 2 rotatably connected to the middle of the upper end and both sides of the upper middle of the interior of the sorting conveyor box 1, a spiral conveying strip 201 fixedly connected to each conical conveying roller 2, a guide rod 204 fixedly provided in the middle between two adjacent conical conveying rollers 2, and side protective plates 106 fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the sorting conveyor box 1. A feeding hopper 107 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the upper end of the sorting conveyor box 1. Fruits and melons are put into the rear end of the feeding hopper 107, and the fruits and melons roll between the conical conveyor rollers 2 and the guide rods 204. By rotating the three conical conveyor rollers 2, the conical conveyor rollers 2 drive the spiral conveyor strips 201 to rotate and push the fruits and melons forward. Utilizing the mechanism that the diameter of the conical conveyor rollers 2 gradually decreases from back to front, the gap between the conical conveyor rollers 2 and the guide rods 204 gradually increases from back to front. When the fruits and melons move forward between the conical conveyor rollers 2 and the guide rods 204, fruits and melons of different sizes fall through the gap between the conical conveyor rollers 2 and the guide rods 204, thus achieving sorting.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Inside the sorting conveyor box 1, a first inclined guide plate 102 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the partition plate 101. A first conveyor belt 4 is provided outside the first sorting outlet 103 of the sorting conveyor box 1. The lower end of the first inclined guide plate 102 extends through the first sorting outlet 103 to the upper end of the first conveyor belt 4. Smaller-diameter fruits and vegetables fall through the gap between the conical conveyor roller 2 and the guide rod 204 at the middle rear end. The falling fruits and vegetables are guided by the first inclined guide plate 102 to the first conveyor belt 4 for independent conveying. Inside the sorting conveyor box 1, a second inclined guide plate 104 is fixedly connected to the front end of the partition plate 101. The second sorting outlet of the sorting conveyor box 1... A second conveyor belt 5 is provided on the outside of 105. The lower end of the second inclined guide plate 104 extends through the second sorting outlet 105 to the upper end of the second conveyor belt 5. Larger diameter fruits and vegetables fall through the gap between the conical conveyor roller 2 and the guide rod 204. The falling fruits and vegetables are guided by the second inclined guide plate 104 to the second conveyor belt 5 for independent transport. Side baffles 6 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the first conveyor belt 4 and the second conveyor belt 5 on the side away from the sorting conveyor box 1. The side baffles 6 block the upper ends of the first conveyor belt 4 and the second conveyor belt 5 on the side away from the sorting conveyor box 1 to prevent the products from rolling out of the first conveyor belt 4 or the second conveyor belt 5.

[0025] Please see Figure 4A transmission box 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rear end of the sorting conveyor box 1. A drive motor 301 is fixedly connected to one side inside the transmission box 3. A worm gear 302 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 301. The middle part of each conical conveyor roller 2 is rotatably connected to the sorting conveyor box 1 through a rotating shaft 202. The rear end of each rotating shaft 202 extends into the transmission box 3 and is fixedly connected to a worm wheel 203. The three worm wheels 203 are all meshed with the teeth of the worm gear 302. The drive motor 301 synchronously drives the three rotating shafts 202 to rotate, thereby causing the three rotating shafts 202 to synchronously drive the three conical conveyor rollers 2 to rotate.

[0026] Working Principle: During operation, the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are fed into the feed hopper 107. Under gravity, the products roll into the conveying gap formed by the three conical conveyor rollers 2 and the guide rod 204. The drive motor 301 drives the three worm gears 203 to rotate synchronously via the worm gear 302, causing the conical conveyor rollers 2 and the spiral conveyor strips 201 on their surfaces to jointly propel the products forward. Because the conical conveyor rollers 2 have a tapered structure that is thinner at the front and thicker at the back, the gap between them and the guide rod 204 gradually increases as the conveying process progresses. Smaller products fall from the narrower gap at the rear center during the initial conveying stage, and are guided to the first conveyor belt 4 by the first inclined guide plate 102. Larger products are conveyed to the largest gap at the front center before falling, and are guided to the second conveyor belt 5 by the second inclined guide plate 104. Through the limiting action of the side baffles 6, products of different sizes complete their subsequent conveying on their respective conveyor belts, thus achieving automated grading and sorting.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
