Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit measurement technology, specifically to a tool for checking the size of fruit trees. Background Technology
[0002] For fruit sizes, such as round fruits like apples and oranges, fruit grading boards are used. Different grading boards have corresponding grading rings. When using the boards, the grading rings of the corresponding size are placed over the fruit to check its size.
[0003] The current grading system requires multiple grading plates to be stacked back and forth for grading, and each time the grading plates are changed, manual operation is required.
[0004] Currently, some connecting structures have been added to the existing fruit grading boards to reduce the need for the boards to be moved back and forth during the grading process. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical issues
[0006] The present invention aims to at least solve the problem in the prior art that grading plates need to be replaced repeatedly when measuring the size of fruits.
[0007] (II) Technical Content
[0008] This solution provides a tool for inspecting the size of fruit from fruit trees, achieved through the following specific technical means: including...
[0009] A base plate, on the upper side of which a column is fixed, and a top cap is integrally formed at the top of the column;
[0010] The grading plate consists of a grading ring and a convex handle integrally formed on the side of the grading ring. The convex handle of the grading plate is slidably sleeved on the column, and multiple grading plates are arranged downwards in descending order of size along the height of the column.
[0011] Magnets are embedded on the upper and lower sides of each set of protruding handles, and magnets are also embedded on the bottom wall of the top cap. When the two sets of close magnets attract each other, the multi-group grading plates are at the top of the column. At the same time, the centers of the multi-group grading plates are on the same straight line. When fruit is placed from above, the grading plates smaller than the diameter of the fruit separate from the grading plates larger than the diameter of the fruit under the downward pushing force and slide down the column.
[0012] Preferred technical solution 1: A limiting hole is provided on the convex shank, and a limiting vertical rod is detachably provided on the base plate, and the limiting vertical rod passes through multiple sets of limiting holes at the same time.
[0013] Preferred technical solution 2: A sliding sleeve is slidably fitted on the column below the lowest set of protruding handles, with the top surface of the sliding sleeve contacting the bottom wall of the lowest set of protruding handles, and a spring is placed between the sliding sleeve and the base plate.
[0014] Preferred technical solution 3: The two sets of magnet blocks that attract each other form an attraction unit, and the attraction force between the attraction units decreases from top to bottom.
[0015] Preferred technical solution four: The convex handle can also rotate on the column, and the multi-group grading plates can rotate to different angles on the column.
[0016] Preferred technical solution five: The column and the base plate are also detachably connected, and the grading plate can be removed.
[0017] (III) Technical Effects
[0018] The above structure gives this solution the following advantages:
[0019] 1. By adding columns and magnetic blocks to the existing grading board, the grading board can automatically sense the size of the fruit, avoiding the need to repeatedly change the grading board for measurement;

[0029] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 Fruit size inspection tool for fruit trees, including base plate 1 and grading plate 3, wherein:
[0031] An elastic pad 11 is wrapped on the base plate 1 to provide elastic support when the fruit falls. A column 2 is fixed on the upper side of the base plate 1, and a top cap 21 is integrally formed on the top of the column 2. The diameter of the top cap 21 is larger than that of the column 2.
[0032] The grading plate 3 consists of a grading ring 31 and a convex handle 32 integrally formed on the side of the grading ring 31 (the grading plate 3 is made of a lightweight material, such as hard plastic). The convex handle 32 on the grading plate 3 is slidably sleeved on the column 2, and the multiple grading plates 3 are arranged downwards in the height direction of the column 2 in descending order of size. Magnet blocks 41 are embedded on the upper and lower sides of each set of convex handles 32, and magnet blocks 41 are also embedded on the bottom wall of the top cap 21. The magnet blocks 41 on the top cap 21 are attracted to the magnet blocks 41 on the top side of the uppermost set of convex handles 32. At the same time, the magnet blocks 41 on the near surfaces of two adjacent sets of convex handles 32 are also attracted to each other. When the multiple sets of grading plates 3 are attracted to each other in sequence and the top set of grading plates 3 is attracted to the top cap 21, the multiple sets of grading plates 3 are at the top of the column 2 (and the multiple sets of magnet blocks 41 are on the same straight line). At the same time, the centers of the multiple sets of grading plates 3 are on the same straight line and cooperate with each other to form a conical cavity 5.
[0033] In use, the fruit is pressed down towards the center of the conical cavity 5. The downward movement of the fruit presses down the grading plates 3, which are smaller than the diameter of the fruit. The pressure causes the grading plates 3 smaller than the diameter of the fruit to separate from the grading plates 3 larger than the diameter of the fruit, and the fruit slides down along the column 2. (Two sets of magnets 41 that attract each other form a suction unit 4. The attraction between the suction units 4 decreases from top to bottom. That is, when pushing down one or more sets of grading plates 3 located below, the attraction generated by the separated set of suction units 4 is insufficient to move the upper grading plates 3 down together. At the same time, the attraction of the suction unit 4 is greater than the weight of the lower sets of grading plates 3.) The diameter of the fruit can be fed back by observing the size of the top set of grading plates 3 among the lower sets of grading plates 3. After grading, the fruit is removed, and the falling grading plates 3 are pushed up again to attract the top grading plates 3 that have not fallen, thus achieving reset.
[0034] In one set of embodiments
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 Limiting holes 321 are provided on the convex shank 32. When the multiple sets of graded plates 3 move to the top of the column 2 and attract each other, the limiting holes 321 on the multiple sets of convex shanks 32 are connected in sequence.
[0036] There is a limiting vertical rod 6 on the base plate 1, and the limiting vertical rod 6 passes through multiple sets of limiting holes 321. The protrusion can slide up and down along the limiting vertical rod 6. The limiting vertical rod 6 restricts the grading plate 3 to only move up and down. The bottom end of the limiting vertical rod 6 is inserted into or threaded into the hole opened on the base plate 1 to realize the detachable assembly between the two.
[0037] In one set of embodiments
[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A sliding sleeve 7 is slidably fitted on the column 2 below the lowest set of protruding handles 32. The top surface of the sliding sleeve 7 contacts the bottom wall of the lowest set of protruding handles 32. At the same time, a spring 8 is placed between the sliding sleeve 7 and the base plate 1. The spring 8 is used to provide the upward reset force of the grading plate 3 after it has moved down. That is, after the apple is removed, the grading plate 3 moves up and resets under the rebound force of the spring 8, realizing the automatic reset and attraction of the multiple grading plates 3.
[0039] In one set of embodiments
[0040] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The convex handle 32 can also rotate on the column 2. After the limit rod 6 is pulled out, the multi-group grading plate 3 can be rotated to different angles, and then it can be used as a regular grading plate 3.
[0041] Meanwhile, the column 2 and the base plate 1 are also detachably connected, so that after the column 2 is removed from the base plate 1, the grading plate 3 can be removed from the column 2 for separate use, or the grading plate 3 can be replaced.
[0042] During use, this solution requires daily maintenance of each component according to the established maintenance plan to ensure its working condition.
