[0013] Compared with related technologies, the special conveyor belt for fruit and vegetable sorting provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model provides a special conveyor belt for fruit and vegetable sorting and processing:

[0015] 1. Automated sorting is achieved through a screening structure composed of an acid-resistant conveyor belt and sorting rollers, which transports small and large fruits to small and large fruit collection boxes respectively, ensuring a uniform and orderly flow of fruits and vegetables, achieving fine grading, and improving sorting efficiency. It uses food-grade acid-resistant materials (such as PU and TPU) and PVC polymer materials, and the surface adhesive resists the erosion of fruit acids, enzymes, and salts, avoiding the cracking and delamination problems of traditional conveyor belts caused by acidic substances. It also has resistance to animal and vegetable oils, making it safe and non-toxic. The automatic adjustment of the storage box tilt angle is achieved through a threaded rod that rises and falls within the threaded cylinder, thus realizing automatic feeding of fruits and vegetables without manual feeding, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-5 ,in, Figure 1A front view schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the special conveyor belt for fruit and vegetable sorting and processing provided by this utility model; Figure 2 A front cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the special conveyor belt for fruit and vegetable sorting provided by this utility model; Figure 3 This is a top view of the sorting rollers of the conveyor belt in this utility model. Figure 4 for Figure 2 An enlarged structural diagram of part A shown in the figure; Figure 5 for Figure 2 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part B.

[0026] The fruit and vegetable sorting conveyor belt includes: a workbench 1, on which a fruit acid-resistant conveyor belt 2 is rotatably mounted. The fruit acid-resistant conveyor belt 2 has a sol layer, a polyester fiber cloth layer, and a polyvinyl chloride coating. Multiple sorting rollers 3 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the fruit acid-resistant conveyor belt 2, with screening gaps between two adjacent sorting rollers 3 for screening. A drive motor 4 for driving the conveyor belt is provided on the workbench 1; a small fruit collection box 5 and a large fruit collection box 6, with the small fruit collection box 5 located at the bottom of the fruit acid-resistant conveyor belt 2 and the large fruit collection box 6 located at the discharge end of the fruit acid-resistant conveyor belt 2; and an automatic feeding mechanism. An automatic feeding structure is installed on the workbench 1 to automatically pour fruits and vegetables onto the fruit acid-resistant conveyor belt 2. The fruit acid-resistant conveyor belt 2 and the sorting roller 3 form a screening structure for automatic sorting, conveying small fruits and large fruits to the small fruit collection box 5 and the large fruit collection box 6 respectively. This ensures that the fruits and vegetables flow out evenly and orderly, achieving fine grading and improving sorting efficiency. Furthermore, it uses food-grade acid-resistant materials (such as PU and TPU) and PVC polymer materials. The surface adhesive can resist the erosion of fruit acids, enzymes, and salts, avoiding the problems of adhesive layer cracking and delamination caused by the penetration of acidic substances in traditional conveyor belts. It also has the characteristics of resistance to animal and vegetable oils, making it safe and non-toxic.

[0027] The automatic feeding mechanism includes a mounting plate 7, a support rod 8, a storage box 9, a discharge port 10, a mounting box 11, a threaded cylinder 12, a threaded rod 13, a fixing plate 14, a rotating motor 15, two pulleys 16, and a belt 17. The mounting plate 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the workbench 1. The support rod 8 is hinged to the mounting plate 7. The storage box 9 is hinged to the top of the support rod 8. A discharge port 10 for discharging fruits and vegetables is provided on one side of the storage box 9. The mounting box 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 7. The threaded cylinder 12 is rotatably installed on the mounting box 11. The threaded rod 13 is threaded... The screw rod 13 is mounted on the threaded cylinder 12, and the fixing plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the top of the threaded rod 13. The fixing plate 14 is hinged to the bottom of the storage box 9. The rotating motor 15 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting box 11. The two pulleys 16 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the threaded cylinder 12 and the rotating motor 15. The belt 17 is sleeved on the two pulleys 16. By the threaded rod 13 rising and falling inside the threaded cylinder 12, the tilt angle of the storage box 9 is automatically adjusted, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of fruits and vegetables without manual feeding, which greatly improves production efficiency and reduces labor intensity.

[0028] An electric telescopic rod 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the storage box 9. The output rod of the electric telescopic rod 18 is provided with a baffle 19 for blocking the discharge port 10. By controlling the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 18, the baffle 19 can be quickly and accurately controlled to block and release the discharge port 10, thereby regulating the discharge of fruits and vegetables.

[0029] A guide rod 20 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 14. The guide rod 20 slides through the mounting box 11 and provides guidance for the movement of the fixed plate 14, ensuring that the threaded rod 13 can only move in a straight line along the vertical direction, so that the angle adjustment of the storage box 9 is more accurate.

[0030] The inner walls of both the small fruit collection box 5 and the large fruit collection box 6 are equipped with protective pads 21 to protect the fruits and vegetables. The protective pads 21 can absorb the impact force generated when the fruits and vegetables collide with the inner wall of the collection box, effectively reducing the probability of damage or abrasion caused by collision during the collection process, and helping to maintain the integrity and appearance quality of the fruits and vegetables.

[0031] A guide plate 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the large fruit collection box 6. The guide plate 22 corresponds to the discharge end of the fruit acid resistant conveyor belt 2. The guide plate 22 can guide the large fruits discharged from the conveyor belt 2 into the large fruit collection box 6, which greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of large fruit collection.

[0032] The mounting box 11 has multiple heat dissipation holes on one side for cooling the rotating motor 15. The heat generated by the rotating motor 15 is dissipated in time through the heat dissipation holes on the mounting box 11 to prevent the motor from degrading due to overheating.

[0033] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0034] The working principle of the special conveyor belt for fruit and vegetable sorting provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0035] When in use, the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are stored in the storage box 9. At this time, the storage box 9 is in a parallel state. The fruits and vegetables are temporarily stored in the storage box 9 and wait to be discharged. Before the feeding begins, the electric telescopic rod 18 is in the extended state. Its output rod pushes the baffle 19 to tightly block the discharge port 10 on one side of the storage box 9. At this time, the fruits and vegetables in the storage box 9 cannot be discharged from the discharge port 10 and are in a temporary state.

[0036] When it is time to start feeding, start the installation rotation motor 15. The output shaft of the rotation motor 15 starts to rotate, which drives a pulley 16 fixed on it to rotate. Since the two pulleys 16 are connected by the belt 17, the other pulley 16 fixed on the threaded cylinder 12 will also rotate, thereby driving the threaded cylinder 12 to rotate on the mounting box 11. As the threaded cylinder 12 rotates, the threaded rod 13 will move up and down in a straight line along the threaded cylinder 12. The fixing plate 14 at the top of the threaded rod 13 is hinged to the bottom of the storage box 9. When the threaded rod 13 moves upward, it will push the storage box 9 to rotate upward around the hinge point of the support rod 8, increasing the tilt angle of the storage box 9.

[0037] During discharge, the electric telescopic rod 18 is retracted by the control system. Its output rod drives the baffle 19 away from the discharge port 10, removing the obstruction to the discharge port 10. The fruits and vegetables in the storage box 9 can then be discharged from the discharge port 10 under their own weight and the tilt angle of the storage box 9, falling onto the conveyor belt 2 on the workbench 1. The drive motor 4 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 2 moves the fruits and vegetables. Multiple sorting rollers 3 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the conveyor belt 2. A screening gap is formed between two adjacent sorting rollers 3. When the fruits and vegetables move on the acid-resistant conveyor belt 2, smaller fruits and vegetables will fall into the small fruit collection box 5 located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2 through the screening gap. Larger fruits and vegetables cannot pass through the screening gap and continue to move with the conveyor belt 2 until they reach the discharge end of the conveyor belt 2 and fall into the large fruit collection box 6, completing the sorting of fruits and vegetables.

[0038] Compared with related technologies, the special conveyor belt for fruit and vegetable sorting provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] This utility model provides a special conveyor belt for fruit and vegetable sorting. It automates sorting through a screening structure composed of an acid-resistant conveyor belt 2 and sorting rollers 3, conveying small and large fruits to small fruit collection boxes 5 and large fruit collection boxes 6 respectively. This ensures a uniform and orderly flow of fruits and vegetables, achieving fine grading and improving sorting efficiency. It uses food-grade acid-resistant materials (such as PU and TPU) and PVC polymer materials. The surface adhesive resists the erosion of fruit acids, enzymes, and salts, avoiding the cracking and delamination problems of traditional conveyor belts caused by acidic substances. It also has resistance to animal and vegetable oils, making it safe and non-toxic. The tilt angle of the storage box 9 is automatically adjusted by the threaded rod 13 that rises and falls within the threaded cylinder 12, thus achieving automatic feeding of fruits and vegetables without manual operation, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity. The electric telescopic rod can be controlled... The telescopic movement of baffle 19 allows for quick and accurate control of the obstruction and release of the discharge port 10, thus regulating the discharge of fruits and vegetables. Guide rod 20 provides guidance for the movement of fixed plate 14, ensuring that threaded rod 13 can only move in a straight line along the vertical direction, making the angle adjustment of storage box 9 more accurate. Protective pad 21 absorbs the impact force generated when fruits and vegetables collide with the inner wall of the collection box, effectively reducing the probability of damage and abrasion caused by collisions during the collection process, helping to maintain the integrity and appearance quality of fruits and vegetables. The guide plate 22 guides large fruits discharged from conveyor belt 2 into large fruit collection box 6, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of large fruit collection. The heat dissipation holes on mounting box 11 dissipate the heat generated by rotating motor 15 in a timely manner, preventing the motor from degrading due to overheating.
