[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] An apple processing frame flipping device includes a mounting frame 1, a rear conveyor belt 3, and a front conveyor belt 6. Two mounting frames 1 are provided, located between the front conveyor belt 6 and the rear conveyor belt 3. A lifting plate 7 is provided between the two mounting frames 1. A movable frame 2 is movably connected to the upper end of the lifting plate 7. Clamping devices 4 are movably connected to the upper left and upper right parts of the movable frame 2. A frame body 5 is provided between the two clamping devices 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper left and upper right parts of the lifting plate 7 are movably connected to the mounting plate 75 by screws. The upper ends of the two mounting plates 75 are fixedly connected to the guide plate 73. The rear ends of the two guide plates 73 are provided with arc-shaped parts 71. The upper middle part of the lifting plate 7 has two slots 74. The lifting plate 7 is inserted and fixedly connected to the inside of the lifting plate 7. The rear end of the rotating rod 76 is fixedly connected to the motor 72. The motor 72 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1 located at the rear. The rotating rod 76 is movably connected to the two mounting brackets 1 through bearings. The left and right ends of the movable frame 2 are provided with protrusions 23. The right ends of the two protrusions 23 have two round holes 22. The upper ends of the two protrusions 23 have threaded holes 24. The movable frame 2 has a "U" shaped structure. The inner wall of the movable frame 2 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 21. The electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting plate 7. The movable frame 2 is movably connected to the two slots 74.

[0026] In this embodiment, the clamping device 4 includes a clamping plate 41, which has an "L" shaped structure. The front and rear right ends of the clamping plate 41 are both slotted. An adjusting member 43 is fixedly connected to the middle right end of the clamping plate 41. The adjusting member 43 has a "U" shaped structure. A limiting bolt 42 is inserted and movably connected inside the adjusting member 43. The adjusting member 43 is inserted and movably connected to the protrusion 23. The limiting bolt 42 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 24.

[0027] It should be noted that this utility model describes an apple processing crate-flipping device. Two symmetrically distributed guide plates 73 are carefully arranged at the upper end of the lifting plate 7, and the rear ends of both guide plates 73 are cleverly designed with arc-shaped portions 71. When the rear conveyor belt 3 smoothly transports the crate 5 filled with apples above the lifting plate 7, the guide plates 73 begin to play their important role. The crate 5, upon contact with the guide plates 73, will gradually move towards the center of the lifting plate 7 under the guidance of the guide plates 73, ultimately ensuring that the crate 5 accurately stops on the lifting plate. The middle position of 7 is fully prepared for the subsequent frame-flipping operation. After the frame 5 is accurately positioned, the electric push rod 21 is started. Under the action of the electric push rod 21, the movable frame 2 begins to move slowly and evenly downwards. The two clamping devices 4 installed on the movable frame 2 also move downwards synchronously, gradually approaching the frame 5. When the clamping devices 4 move to the appropriate position, the two clamping devices 4 will simultaneously apply even pressure to the frame 5, pressing the frame 5 tightly onto the lifting plate 7. After the pressing operation of the frame 5 is completed, the motor 72 is started. 2, as the power source for the entire frame-flipping operation, has a strong torque output capability. Driven by motor 72, lifting plate 7 begins to rotate in the predetermined rotation direction and angle. As lifting plate 7 rotates, frame 5 also flips over. Under the action of gravity, apples inside frame 5 will quickly and smoothly fall out of frame 5 and into the collection device below. This innovative frame-flipping design greatly improves frame-flipping efficiency, reduces manual operation time and labor intensity, and also reduces the possibility of apples being damaged during frame-flipping, ensuring the quality of apples. Adjusting component 43 and movable frame 2 are connected by an interlocking movable connection. This connection method allows adjusting component 43 to freely adjust its position on movable frame 2. In actual use, the operator can move the position of adjusting component 43 by loosening the limiting bolt 42 according to the size of frame 5, and then tighten the limiting bolt 42 to fix adjusting component 43 in a suitable position. As the position of adjusting component 43 changes, clamping plate 41 will also adjust its position accordingly, thus adapting to the use of frames 5 of different sizes.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
