Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting technology, and in particular to a fruit and vegetable transfer mechanism and a fruit and vegetable sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fruits and vegetables are a type of food that people often consume. Fruits and vegetables include citrus fruits, cherries, apples, pears, and tomatoes. After ripening, fruits and vegetables need to be harvested and then transported to factories for sorting and processing to facilitate subsequent packaging and sales.

[0003] In related technologies, fruit and vegetable sorting devices may include multiple fruit and vegetable conveying mechanisms, which can be used to drive the movement of fruits and vegetables; in order to save horizontal installation space, two fruit and vegetable conveying mechanisms can be stacked one on top of the other; the working units on the fruit and vegetable sorting device can process the fruits and vegetables located on the two fruit and vegetable conveying structures, and the working units may include drying mechanisms, image acquisition mechanisms, etc.

[0004] When fruits and vegetables are transferred between two fruit and vegetable conveying mechanisms, they can be gripped by robotic arms or suction cups; however, the gripping speed of the gripping mechanism is relatively slow, resulting in a slow transfer speed between the two fruit and vegetable conveying mechanisms. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a fruit and vegetable transfer mechanism and a fruit and vegetable sorting device to solve the technical problem of slow fruit and vegetable transfer speed between two fruit and vegetable conveying mechanisms in the prior art.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model embodiment is addressed by the following technical solution:

[0007] Provide a fruit and vegetable transshipment organization, including:

[0008] frame;

[0009] The transfer track has a receiving cavity, the opening of which is located at one end of the transfer track. The end of the transfer track facing away from the opening of the receiving cavity is rotatably connected to the frame. The rotation axis of the transfer track is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0010] A drive assembly for driving the transfer track to rotate relative to the frame;

[0011] A support assembly, one end of which is rotatably connected to the underside of the transfer track, and the other opposite end of which is mounted on the frame.

[0012] With the above structure, the drive assembly can drive the transfer track to rotate relative to the frame, so that the opening of the receiving cavity is at a higher position. The output end of the first conveying mechanism is connected to the opening of the receiving cavity, and the first conveying mechanism can transport fruits and vegetables into the receiving cavity. Subsequently, the drive assembly can drive the transfer track to rotate relative to the frame, so that the opening of the receiving cavity is at a lower position, and the input end of the second conveying mechanism is connected to the opening of the receiving cavity. Fruits and vegetables in the receiving cavity can enter the input end of the second conveying mechanism, so as to transfer fruits and vegetables from the first conveying mechanism to the second conveying mechanism. The receiving cavity can accommodate a large amount of fruits and vegetables at the same time, and the height of the opening of the receiving cavity can be adjusted by rotating the transfer track by a small angle, so as to improve the transfer speed of fruits and vegetables between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism.

[0013] During the rotation of the transfer track relative to the frame, the support components can support the transfer track to reduce the degree of swaying during the rotation process and improve the stability of the transfer track.

[0014] In some embodiments, the transfer track includes a mounting frame, a conveying component, and a driving component. The mounting frame is rotatably connected to the frame, the driving component is used to drive the mounting frame to rotate relative to the frame, and one end of the support component facing away from the frame is rotatably connected to the lower side of the mounting frame.

[0015] The conveying component and the driving component are mounted on the mounting frame. The conveying component is located inside the receiving cavity, and the driving component is used to drive the conveying component to move relative to the mounting frame. The input end of the conveying component is oriented toward the rotation axis of the mounting frame.

[0016] With the above structure, the driving component is used to drive the conveying component to move relative to the mounting frame, so as to move the fruits and vegetables in the receiving cavity. Then, the fruits and vegetables in the receiving cavity can move from high to low or from low to high under the drive of the conveying component, so that the fruit and vegetable transfer mechanism can transfer the fruits and vegetables in the first conveying mechanism to the second conveying mechanism, or transfer the fruits and vegetables in the second conveying mechanism to the first conveying mechanism.

[0017] In addition, the driving component can drive the conveying component to move at a uniform speed, so that after the fruits and vegetables enter the receiving cavity, the conveying component can drive the fruits and vegetables to move evenly, and thus the fruits and vegetables can be evenly distributed in all parts of the receiving cavity; when the fruits and vegetables need to be output from the receiving cavity, the conveying component can evenly convey the fruits and vegetables to the opening of the receiving cavity, so that the fruits and vegetables can be evenly output from the opening of the receiving cavity.

[0018] In some embodiments, the transfer track further includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and an end limiting member, wherein the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the end limiting member are all mounted on the mounting bracket; the first sidewall and the second sidewall are respectively located on opposite sides of the conveying member, and the end limiting member is located at one end of the conveying member facing away from the opening of the receiving cavity; the receiving cavity is formed between the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the end limiting member.

[0019] Through the above structure, the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the end limiting member can limit the fruits and vegetables located on the conveying component to prevent them from rolling away from the conveying component.

[0020] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a pusher and a push rod, one end of the pusher is rotatably connected to the frame, the other opposite end of the pusher is connected to the push rod, and one end of the push rod facing away from the pusher is rotatably connected to the lower side of the transfer track; the pusher is used to drive the push rod to extend or retract relative to the pusher.

[0021] With the above structure, the pushing component drives the pushing rod to extend relative to the pushing component, and the opening of the receiving cavity is located at the first conveying mechanism; the pushing component drives the pushing rod to retract relative to the pushing component, and the opening of the receiving cavity is located at the second conveying mechanism. The pushing component can quickly drive the pushing rod to extend or retract relative to the pushing component, so that the opening of the receiving cavity can quickly move between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, thereby improving the transfer speed of fruits and vegetables by the fruit and vegetable transfer mechanism.

[0022] In some embodiments, the support assembly includes a first rotating support rod and a second rotating support rod, the first rotating support rod and the second rotating support rod being located on opposite sides of the transfer track.

[0023] With the above structure, the first rotating support rod and the second rotating support rod are located on opposite sides of the transfer track. The first rotating support rod can support one side of the transfer track, and the second rotating support rod can support the other opposite side of the transfer track, so that the transfer track can be more stable during rotation and will not axially sway.

[0024] In some embodiments, the drive assembly is located between the first rotating support rod and the second rotating support rod in the direction of extension of the rotation axis of the transfer track.

[0025] With the above structure, the drive component is located between the first rotating support rod and the second rotating support rod. During the process of fruits and vegetables entering or leaving the receiving cavity, the first rotating support rod and the second rotating support rod can provide better support for the transfer track.

[0026] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the transfer track, the drive assembly, and the support assembly are arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction.

[0027] With the above structure, the drive component can be located in the middle of the transfer track. During the process of the drive component driving the transfer track to rotate, the movement distance of the opening of the receiving cavity is greater than the stroke of the drive component, so that the drive component can drive the transfer track to move quickly between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism.

[0028] In some embodiments, the frame includes a first slide rail, a second slide rail, a first slider, and a second slider. The first slide rail is parallel to the second slide rail, and the extension direction of the first slide rail is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the transfer track.

[0030] With the above structure, one end of the first rotating support rod is rotatably connected to the lower side of the transfer track, and the other opposite end of the first rotating support rod is rotatably connected to the first slider. The height of the first rotating support rod in the vertical direction can be adjusted by changing its tilt angle relative to the horizontal plane. The first rotating support rod is a non-extendable rigid structure, thus it can withstand greater pressure and support the transfer track more stably. Similarly, the second rotating support rod can also support the transfer track more stably.

[0031] In some embodiments, the frame includes a support platform and a support boss, the support boss being mounted at one end of the support platform and protruding upward relative to the support platform;

The drive assembly is mounted on the support platform, and the other end of the support assembly facing away from the transfer track is mounted on the support platform.

[0033] With the above structure, the support boss protrudes upward relative to the support platform, and one end of the transfer track facing away from the opening of the receiving cavity is rotatably connected to the upper side of the support boss; so that the end of the transfer track located at the rotation axis can be located at a higher position; the drive assembly is installed on the support platform, that is, the drive assembly is located below the rotation axis of the transfer track, and the drive assembly can drive the transfer track to rotate from a position inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane to a position inclined downward relative to the horizontal plane.

[0034] When the opening of the receiving cavity moves from the first conveying mechanism to the second conveying mechanism, the transfer track needs to rotate by a preset angle; when the opening of the receiving cavity is located at the first conveying mechanism, the transfer track can tilt upward by half of the preset angle; when the opening of the receiving cavity is located at the second conveying mechanism, the transfer track can tilt downward by half of the preset angle; so that the transfer track can remain relatively stable when connected to the first conveying mechanism or the second conveying mechanism.

[0035] This utility model also provides a fruit and vegetable sorting device, including the fruit and vegetable transfer mechanism in any of the above embodiments.

The output end of the first conveying mechanism is connected to the opening of the receiving cavity, and the first conveying mechanism can transport fruits and vegetables into the receiving cavity. Subsequently, the drive assembly can drive the transfer track to rotate relative to the frame, so that the opening of the receiving cavity is at a lower position, and the input end of the second conveying mechanism is connected to the opening of the receiving cavity. Fruits and vegetables in the receiving cavity can enter the input end of the second conveying mechanism, so as to transfer fruits and vegetables from the first conveying mechanism to the second conveying mechanism. The receiving cavity can accommodate a large amount of fruits and vegetables at the same time, and the height of the opening of the receiving cavity can be adjusted by rotating the transfer track by a small angle, so as to improve the transfer speed of fruits and vegetables between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism.

The upper end of the first rotating support rod 42 can be rotatably connected to the mounting frame 21 by a hinge, and the lower end of the first rotating rod can be rotatably connected to the frame 10 by a hinge.

[0075] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 30 is located between the first rotating support rod 42 and the second rotating support rod 44 in the extension direction of the rotation axis of the transfer track 20.

[0076] With the above structure, the drive assembly 30 is located between the first rotating support rod 42 and the second rotating support rod 44.

[0078] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft, drive assembly 30 and support assembly 40 of the transfer track 20 are arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction.

[0079] With the above structure, the drive component 30 can be located in the middle of the transfer track 20. During the process of the drive component 30 driving the transfer track 20 to rotate, the movement distance of the opening of the receiving cavity 202 is greater than the stroke of the drive component 30, so that the drive component 30 can drive the transfer track 20 to move quickly between the first conveying mechanism 200 and the second conveying mechanism 300.

[0080] Specifically, in the horizontal direction, the distance between the drive component 30 and the rotation axis of the transfer track 20 is less than the distance between the support component 40 and the rotation axis of the transfer track 20.

[0081] In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a first slide rail 12, a second slide rail 14, a first slider 122 and a second slider 142.

[0083] With the above structure, one end of the first rotating support rod 42 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the transfer track 20, and the other opposite end of the first rotating support rod 42 is rotatably connected to the first slider 122. The height of the first rotating support rod 42 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by changing its tilt angle relative to the horizontal plane. The first rotating support rod 42 is a non-extendable rigid structure, thus it can withstand greater pressure and support the transfer track 20 more stably. Similarly, the second rotating support rod 44 can also support the transfer track 20 more stably.

[0084] Specifically, both the first slide rail 12 and the second slide rail 14 can be strip-shaped structures protruding from the upper side of the frame 10, and both the first slider 122 and the second slider 142 can be block-shaped structures made of metal. The first slider 122 can be sleeved on the first slide rail 12, and the lower end of the first rotating support rod 42 can be located on the side of the first slider 122 facing away from the second slider 142, and the lower end of the first rotating support rod 42 is hinged to the first slider 122. The second slider 142 can be sleeved on the second slide rail 14, and the lower end of the second rotating support rod 44 can be located on the side of the second slider 142 facing away from the first slider 122, and the lower end of the second rotating support rod 44 is hinged to the second slider 142.

[0085] In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a support platform 16 and a support boss 18, the support boss 18 being mounted at one end of the support platform 16 and protruding upward relative to the support platform 16.

[0086] One end of the transfer track 20 facing away from the opening of the receiving cavity 202 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the support boss 18. The drive assembly 30 is installed on the support platform 16, and the one end of the support assembly 40 facing away from the transfer track 20 is installed on the support platform 16.

[0087] With the above structure, the support boss 18 protrudes upward relative to the support platform 16, and one end of the transfer track 20 facing away from the opening of the receiving cavity 202 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the support boss 18; so that one end of the transfer track 20 located at the rotation axis can be located at a higher position; the drive assembly 30 is installed on the support platform 16, that is, the drive assembly 30 is located below the rotation axis of the transfer track 20, and the drive assembly 30 can drive the transfer track 20 to rotate from a position inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane to a position inclined downward relative to the horizontal plane.

[0088] When the opening of the receiving cavity 202 moves from the first conveying mechanism 200 to the second conveying mechanism 300, the transfer track 20 needs to rotate by a preset angle; when the opening of the receiving cavity 202 is located at the first conveying mechanism 200, the transfer track 20 can tilt upward by half of the preset angle; when the opening of the receiving cavity 202 is located at the second conveying mechanism 300, the transfer track 20 can tilt downward by half of the preset angle; so that the transfer track 20 can remain relatively stable when connected to the first conveying mechanism 200 or the second conveying mechanism 300.

[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the support platform 16 and the support boss 18 may include multiple steel bars spliced ​​together. One end of the transfer track 20 facing away from the opening of the receiving cavity 202 can be rotatably connected to the two steel bars of the support boss 18 by means of hinge.

[0090] In other embodiments, the support platform 16 and the support boss 18 may also include other structures, such as the support platform 16 including a support surface parallel to the horizontal plane; the support boss 18 may include a block structure connected to the support surface.
