[0002] Automatic sorting machines are widely used in various product sorting industries. They can replace workers to complete a series of automatic sorting processes. They are characterized by accurate classification, high efficiency, and are not affected by external factors such as weather, time, and location. They can better improve the business's profits and output. With the continuous development of society and the continuous progress of technology, market competition is becoming more and more intense, and the functions of sorting machines are becoming more and more powerful.
[0003] Existing fruit sorting devices use a feeding plate to guide fruit into the machine. According to preset standards, the fruit moves along roller holes of different sizes. Smaller fruits first leak out through the smaller holes, while larger fruits leak out through the larger holes. However, when the existing device is working, there are many fine hairs on the surface of the fruit. During multiple sorting processes, the hairs will stick to the roller surface, requiring the fruit to be cleaned after sorting, which affects the sorting efficiency.
[0004] To address this issue, we propose a fruit sorting device based on fruit hardness. Utility Model Content

[0017] 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.
[0018] Reference Figure 1-4 A sorting device for fruit based on hardness includes: a sorting machine 1, with a sliding device 2 fixedly installed at the upper end of the sorting machine 1 to facilitate the movement of a cleaning device for effective cleaning of the surface of a roller; a sliding block 21 connected inside the sliding device 2 via a limiting block 22 to facilitate effective movement; a groove is formed on the surface of the sliding block 21, and a fixed disc 23 is installed inside the groove; the fixed disc 23 is sleeved on both ends of a rotating rod 24 to facilitate effective rotation of the rotating rod 24 via bearing connection, preventing jamming during rotation; and a bearing is installed on the surface of the rotating rod 24. The support rod 25 provides effective support during cleaning, preventing shaking. A cleaning rod 26 is installed inside the support rod 25, and soft bristles are provided below the cleaning rod 26 to facilitate cleaning the roller surface. A water tank 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the sliding device 2, and an outer cover 31 is installed on the surface of the water tank 3 to prevent external impurities from entering. A conveying pipe 33 is inserted into the surface of the water tank 3, and a sprayer 34 is installed on the surface of the conveying pipe 33 to effectively spray water onto the roller surface for effective cleaning.
[0019] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 It can be seen that the sliding device 2 has a sliding groove at the top and bottom of its interior that matches the sliding block 21, which facilitates the effective movement of the sliding block 21 and makes it easy to drive the cleaning device to perform continuous cleaning. Limiting blocks 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the sliding block 21, which makes it easy to limit the movement when cleaning the two sets of rollers.
[0020] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3It can be seen that the end of the support rod 25 is designed in an arc shape to prevent it from rotating and being stored when not being cleaned, and to prevent jamming during storage. The surface of the support rod 25 has holes that are compatible with the rotating rod 24, so that it can rotate on the surface of the rotating rod 24 and prevent jamming. The diameter of the surface of the fixing disc 23 is larger than the diameter of the support rod 25 to prevent the holes from being too large and causing it to fall off when rotating.
[0021] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 It can be seen that the support rod 25 has a groove inside, and a cleaning rod 26 is installed inside the groove. This prevents vibration when the cleaning brush is cleaning, and ensures that the lint and impurities on the roller surface are not cleaned properly. The cleaning brush of the cleaning rod 26 is made of soft bristles to prevent damage to the roller surface caused by the material being too hard. A handle 27 is installed on the surface of the cleaning rod 26. The surface of the handle 27 is L-shaped and wrapped with an anti-slip pad to prevent slippage due to water or sweat on the hands when pulling. A hole is opened at one end of the handle 27, and a limit rod 28 is installed inside the hole to facilitate the extension and retraction of the cleaning rod 26 by pulling the handle 27.
[0022] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 It can be seen that the delivery pipe 33 is inserted into the surface of the water tank 3, and the surface of the delivery pipe 33 is equipped with a water pump 32. The water pump 32 controls the water effectively, preventing excessive water resources during use and avoiding waste. The surface of the sprayer 34 is equipped with multiple spray heads, and the spray heads are set at an angle to facilitate effective spraying of the surface of the roller, which facilitates the cleaning work.
[0023] Working principle: In use, the water pump 32 is rotated, and water is transmitted through the delivery pipe 33 inserted into the surface of the water tank 3. The water is then delivered to the inside of the sprayer 34, and sprayed onto the surface of the roller inside the sorting machine 1 using the spray head. An outer cover 31 is fixedly installed on the surface of the water tank 3 to prevent impurities from entering. Simultaneously, the support rod 25 is pulled, causing its end to rotate on the rotating rod 24, moving it away from the sliding device 2. At this time, the sliding block inside the sliding device 2 is activated. 21. When the sliding block 21 moves, it drives the fixed disc 23 inside the sliding block 21 to move synchronously. The fixed disc 23 is sleeved on both ends of the rotating rod 24. When the sliding block 21 moves to a suitable position, it is fixed and limited by the limiting block 22. At the same time, the limiting rod 28 is pulled out, the handle 27 is pulled, and the cleaning rod 26 is pulled down to a suitable position. The limiting rod 28 is inserted into the hole and fixed, so that the soft bristles set below the cleaning rod 26 clean the surface of the roller.
[0024] The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.
[0025] In this utility model, the installation, connection or setting methods of all the components mentioned above are common mechanical methods, and the specific structure, model and coefficient index of all the components are their own technologies. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented, so they will not be described in detail.
