Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting device technology, specifically an automatic carrot sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, carrots harvested from the vegetable garden are mostly collected in fixed collection baskets for initial collection. Then, the staff will pour the carrots collected in each basket into the feed inlet of the sorting equipment to complete the sorting of carrots by size.
[0003] When carrots from each crate flood into the inlet in a short period of time, accumulation and blockage are very likely to occur at the inlet, forcing the equipment to stop frequently for maintenance and cleaning. This not only reduces sorting efficiency but also increases equipment maintenance costs due to frequent maintenance and downtime. In addition, there is a large drop between the sorting port and the collection box at the collection point after sorting. Carrots are prone to collision with the box during the fall, causing damage such as skin breakage and cracking, which reduces the product qualification rate. In order to address the above problems, the inventor proposes an automatic carrot sorting device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the issues of carrots accumulating and getting stuck at the inlet when they flood in quickly, and the significant drop between the sorting port and the collection box causing carrots to collide with the box during free fall, this invention aims to provide an automatic carrot sorting device.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic carrot sorting device, comprising a base plate, a mounting frame fixedly connected to the top of the base plate near the center, a transfer box fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame near one side of the center, a storage box fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame near the transfer box, a push plate slidably connected to the bottom of the storage box, a U-shaped plate fixedly connected to the side of the transfer box away from the storage box, a sorting port one and a sorting port two opened at the bottom of the U-shaped plate near the center, a V-shaped cover one and a V-shaped cover two fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped plate near the sorting port one and the sorting port two, two sets of limiting posts symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate near the center of the U-shaped plate, a load-bearing plate slidably connected between the outer rings of the two sets of limiting posts, and a receiving box provided at the top of the load-bearing plate below the V-shaped cover one and the V-shaped cover two.
[0006] Preferably, conveying rollers are fixedly connected between the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped plate and near sorting port one and sorting port two, and a lead screw is rotatably connected between the top of the base plate and near one of the set of limiting posts, and the lead screw is threadedly rotatably connected to the load-bearing plate, and a fixed grooved wheel is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw.
[0007] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the substrate and near the lead screw, and a positioning dial is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate, and the positioning dial cooperates with the positioning groove wheel.
[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting plate, and the output end of the motor passes through the mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the fixed dial. A material discharge port is opened on one side of the transfer box near the U-shaped plate and near the bottom, and a transfer port is opened on the top of the transfer box and on the side near the storage box.
[0009] Preferably, the storage box has a discharge port two on one side near the bottom of the transfer box, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the top of the transfer box at the transfer port, and an electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the center of the side of the storage box away from the transfer box.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. In this utility model, by setting a push plate, a protective cover, a storage box and a discharge port, the push plate can move horizontally in the storage box, thereby achieving slow feeding and ensuring that the material in the inlet is fed in at a low speed, reducing problems such as material accumulation and jamming that may be caused by rapid feeding.
[0012] 2. In this utility model, by setting up V-shaped cover one, V-shaped cover two, receiving box and load-bearing plate, the load-bearing plate descends intermittently, thereby effectively controlling the descent speed of the receiving box. This avoids the material being damaged by a large impact when falling into the receiving box due to a high drop, thus protecting the integrity of the material, reducing material loss and improving product quality.

[0020] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic carrot sorting device, including a base plate 1. A mounting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 near its center. A transfer box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 11 near one side center. A storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 11 near the transfer box 2. A push plate 32 is slidably connected to the bottom of the storage box 3. The push plate 32 and the side of the storage box 3 are moved by a guide shaft to ensure that the push plate 32 can slide smoothly inside the bottom of the storage box 3. A U-shaped plate 34 is fixedly connected to the side of the transfer box 2 away from the storage box 3. A sorting port 1 35 and a sorting port 2 36 are opened at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 34 near its center. The dimensions of the sorting port 1 35 and the sorting port 2 36 are designed according to the size of the carrots to be sorted, so as to ensure... To ensure the smooth passage of carrots, V-shaped covers 38 and 39 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped plate 34 near sorting ports 35 and 36. Two sets of limiting posts 4 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 near the center of the U-shaped plate 34. The load-bearing plate 41 is slidably connected to the limiting posts 4 through linear bearings to ensure that the load-bearing plate 41 can slide smoothly on the limiting posts 4. The load-bearing plate 41 is slidably connected between the outer rings of the two sets of limiting posts 4. A receiving box 42 is provided at the top of the load-bearing plate 41 and below the V-shaped covers 38 and 39. The electrical components in this application are electrically connected to their compatible power supply through wires. A suitable controller should be selected according to the actual situation to meet the control requirements. The detailed connection methods are known in the art.
[0021] Conveyor rollers 37 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped plate 34 and near sorting port 1 35 and sorting port 2 36.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the conveying roller 37 is a rubber layer to increase the friction between it and the carrot. The conveying roller 37 is driven by a drive source, which is connected to the conveying roller 37 through a chain or belt to convey the carrot to sorting port 35 or sorting port 36.
[0023] A lead screw 43 is rotatably connected between the top of the base plate 1 and one of the set of limiting posts 4, and the lead screw 43 is threadedly rotatably connected to the load-bearing plate 41. A fixed grooved wheel 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 43.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the lead screw 43 is rotatably connected to the threaded hole on the load-bearing plate 41, so as to realize the up and down movement of the load-bearing plate 41 on the lead screw 43.
[0025] A mounting plate 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the substrate 1 near the lead screw 43. A positioning dial 45 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate 44, and the positioning dial 45 cooperates with the positioning groove wheel 46.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the mounting plate 44 is rotatably connected to the fixed dial 45 through the bearing. The pin of the fixed dial 45 is cylindrical, and the fixed dial 45 cooperates with the fixed groove wheel 46. Every time the fixed dial 45 rotates, the fixed groove wheel 46 rotates at a certain angle, thereby driving the lead screw 43 to rotate.
[0027] A motor 47 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 44, and the output end of the motor 47 passes through the mounting plate 44 and is fixedly connected to the fixed dial 45.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the output end of the motor 47 passes through the mounting plate 44 and is fixedly connected to the fixed dial 45 through a coupling. The motor 47 is used to provide rotational power for the fixed dial 45.
[0029] The transfer box 2 has a discharge port 21 on one side near the bottom of the U-shaped plate 34, and a transfer port 22 on the top of the transfer box 2 near the storage box 3.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the material discharge port 21 is set to transport the material in the transfer box 2 to the conveying roller 37, and the material transfer port 22 is set to receive the material in the storage box 3.
[0031] The storage box 3 has a discharge port 31 on one side near the bottom of the transfer box 2, and a protective cover 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the transfer box 2 at the transfer port 22.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, a protective cover 23 is set at the transfer port 22 to prevent the material from falling outside the transfer box 2 when it is removed from the storage box 3. A rotating baffle can be set at the discharge port 31 according to the actual situation.
[0033] An electric cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the center of the side of the storage box 3 away from the transfer box 2. The output end of the electric cylinder 33 passes through the storage box 3 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 32.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric cylinder 33 is used to drive the pusher plate 32 to slide at the bottom of the storage box 3, pushing the carrots in the storage box 3 into the transfer box 2.
[0035] Working principle: When using this device, the material is first poured into the storage box 3, and then the working electric cylinder 33 is started, which causes the fixedly connected push plate 32 to move horizontally inside the storage box 3. This pushes the material through the discharge port 31 into the protective cover 23, and finally drops into the transfer box 2. The push plate 32 is provided with two guide shafts on its side to guide the horizontal movement of the push plate 32, thereby achieving the effect of slow feeding.
[0036] Material falling into transfer box 2 can be transferred to conveyor roller 37 through discharge port 21. Then, under the action of sorting port 35 and sorting port 36, it will fall into two receiving boxes 42 through V-shaped cover 38 and V-shaped cover 39 (the initial position of receiving box 42 should be at the top of limit post 4 before operation). This completes the sorting work. When the material moves to conveyor roller 37, motor 47 needs to be started, so that fixed dial 45 is rotated. Then, under the action of fixed groove wheel 46, the lead screw 43 rotates intermittently, which can drive the load plate 41 to descend intermittently. This can prevent the material from being damaged when it falls into receiving box 42.
[0037] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
