Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camellia fruit weighing and sorting technology, specifically a camellia fruit weighing and sorting device for preparing camellia oil. Background Technology
[0002] In the preparation process of camellia oil, the quality of camellia fruit directly affects the quality and oil yield of the final product. The weight of the fruit is an important indicator for measuring its maturity, plumpness and other quality. Therefore, accurate weighing and sorting of camellia fruit is an indispensable part of the large-scale production of camellia oil.
[0003] Traditional camellia fruit sorting methods rely heavily on manual screening, which is not only inefficient, but also subject to human factors, making it difficult to ensure consistency. In addition, when weighing individual fruits manually, interference from other fruits can lead to inaccurate weight detection, which cannot meet the needs of refined production. While some existing automated sorting equipment can achieve batch processing, it is insufficient in terms of independent weighing and accurate sorting of individual fruits. For example, some equipment uses a continuous conveying weighing method, where multiple fruits are in the weighing area at the same time, and the weight signals are superimposed, making it difficult to accurately obtain the weight data of individual fruits. Therefore, it is necessary to design a camellia fruit weighing and sorting device for camellia oil preparation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the first baffle and the second baffle are fixedly connected to the front side and the rear side of the top of the conveyor platform, respectively, and the rear bottom side of the first baffle and the front bottom side of the second baffle are in contact with the top of the conveyor platform, so as to limit the camellia fruit on the top of the conveyor platform by the first baffle and the second baffle.
[0009] Preferably, the fixing frame, the second hydraulic cylinder, and the push plate are arranged in three sets and symmetrically distributed on the front side of the first baffle. The photoelectric transmitter and the photoelectric receiver are each arranged in three sets and symmetrically distributed on the rear side of the first baffle and the front side of the second baffle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a camellia fruit weighing and sorting device for preparing camellia oil, which has the following beneficial effects: This camellia fruit weighing and sorting device for camellia oil production uses a weighing and sorting mechanism. When camellia fruits need to be weighed and sorted, they are placed in a storage bin, and the feeding mechanism feeds them. When a single camellia fruit falls onto a sealing plate equipped with a weight sensor, the weight sensor can accurately detect the weight of the fruit without interference from other fruits, providing a precise weight basis for subsequent sorting. After receiving the weight information from the weight sensor, the first hydraulic cylinder moves the sealing plate to the left, allowing the camellia oil to enter the top of the conveyor platform through the conveying pipe. The control panel can quickly determine the category to which the fruit should belong and promptly control the corresponding second hydraulic cylinder to push the push plate, pushing the camellia fruit into the second baffle and protective frame for feeding. Each set of second hydraulic cylinders has an electric transmitter and a photoelectric receiver on the left side, which can accurately monitor the position of the camellia fruit on the conveyor platform. The right end of the conveying pipe is inclined downwards, allowing the fruit to slide smoothly onto the conveyor platform rather than fall violently, which also plays a role in protecting the fruit to a certain extent.
[0013] This camellia fruit weighing and sorting device for camellia oil preparation uses a feeding mechanism. When camellia fruits need to be weighed and sorted and are in the storage bin, a servo motor drives a sealing disc fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating rod to rotate inside the connecting pipe. Under the action of the sealing disc, the camellia fruits in the storage bin can be fed out. Due to the design of the inner diameter of the connecting pipe, only one camellia fruit can be fed out at a time, thus ensuring that subsequent weighing and sorting work can proceed in an orderly manner.

[0018] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example
[0019] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a camellia fruit weighing and sorting device for preparing camellia oil, including a base 1, a conveyor platform 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a weighing and sorting mechanism 4 provided on the top of the base 1, a control panel 3 fixedly connected to the front side of the conveyor platform 2, and a feeding mechanism 5 provided inside the weighing and sorting mechanism 4. The weighing and sorting mechanism 4 includes a load-bearing frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the top left side of the base 1. A storage box 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the load-bearing frame 41. A connecting pipe 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 42.

The sealing plate 47 is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe 43. A weight sensor 48 is fixedly connected inside the sealing plate 47. The front surface of the conveying pipe 45 is... A first baffle 491 is fixedly connected to the side, and a second baffle 492 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rear surface of the conveying pipe 45. A fixing frame 494 is fixedly connected to the front side of the first baffle 491, and a second hydraulic cylinder 495 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixing frame 494. A push plate 496 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the second hydraulic cylinder 495. The push plate 496 is slidably connected inside the first baffle 491 and the second baffle 492. The push plate 496 is set on the top of the conveying table 2. A photoelectric transmitter 493 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the first baffle 491, and a photoelectric receiver 497 is fixedly connected to the front side of the second baffle 492.
[0020] The right end of the conveying pipe 45 is inclined downward and is located at the top of the conveying platform 2. A protective frame 498 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the second baffle 492. The rear side of the push plate 496 is semi-circular and the bottom of the push plate 496 is in contact with the top of the conveying platform 2, so that the camellia fruit on the conveying platform 2 can be pushed into the second baffle 492 and the protective frame 498 through the push plate 496, thereby realizing the material collection.
[0021] A guide shaft 49 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the sealing plate 47. The guide shaft 49 is slidably connected inside the support frame 44. The first hydraulic cylinder 46, the second hydraulic cylinder 495, and the weight sensor 48 are electrically connected to the control panel 3, so that the start and stop of the equipment can be controlled through the control panel 3.
[0022] The first baffle 491 and the second baffle 492 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the conveyor platform 2, and the rear bottom side of the first baffle 491 and the front bottom side of the second baffle 492 are in contact with the top of the conveyor platform 2, so as to limit the camellia fruit on the top of the conveyor platform 2 through the first baffle 491 and the second baffle 492.
[0023] The fixed frame 494, the second hydraulic cylinder 495, and the push plate 496 are arranged in three sets and symmetrically distributed on the front side of the first baffle 491. The photoelectric transmitter 493 and the photoelectric receiver are arranged in three sets and symmetrically distributed on the rear side of the first baffle 491 and the front side of the second baffle 492. The photoelectric transmitter 493 and the photoelectric receiver correspond to each other, which makes it easy to classify and sort camellia fruits of different specifications by setting three sets. Example
[0024] Please see Figure 1-8 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the feeding mechanism 5 further includes a servo motor 51, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting pipe 43. A rotating rod 52 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the servo motor 51, and a sealing disc 53 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the rotating rod 52. The sealing disc 53 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting pipe 43.
[0025] The rotating rod 52 is rotatably connected inside the connecting pipe 43, and the servo motor 51 is electrically connected to the control panel 3, so that the sealing disc 53 can be rotated by the rotating rod 52.
[0026] In actual operation, when this device is used, when it is necessary to weigh and sort camellia fruits, the camellia fruits are placed in the storage box 42, and the collection device is placed at the bottom of the three sets of protective frames 498 and behind the conveyor 2 to collect the fruits that meet the standards. At the same time, a collection device is placed at the bottom right side of the conveyor 2 to collect the fruits that do not meet the standards. The servo motor 51 drives the rotating rod 52 to rotate the sealing plate 53 fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 43. Under the action of the sealing plate 53, the camellia fruit in the storage box 42 can be fed. Due to the design of the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 43, only one camellia fruit can be fed at a time. When a single camellia fruit falls onto the sealing plate 47 with the weight sensor 48, the weight sensor 48 can accurately detect the weight of the fruit without being disturbed by other fruits, providing accurate weight basis for subsequent sorting work. After the control panel 3 receives the weight information from the weight sensor 48, the first hydraulic cylinder 46 drives the sealing plate 47 to move to the left, so that the camellia oil enters the top of the conveyor table 2 through the conveying pipe 45. The conveyor table 2 is powered by the external power supply equipment to make it work. According to the weight feedback of the camellia fruit, the photoelectric transmitter 493 and photoelectric receiver 497 of the corresponding weight will monitor the position of the camellia fruit. After receiving the weight information from the weight sensor 48, the control panel 3 can quickly determine the category to which the fruit should belong and promptly control the corresponding second hydraulic cylinder 495 to push the push plate 496. When the corresponding photoelectric transmitter 493 and photoelectric receiver 497 detect the camellia fruit, the second hydraulic cylinder 495 drives the push plate 496 to move, pushing the camellia fruit into the second baffle 492 and the protective frame 498 for unloading. The mode of processing only one camellia fruit at a time makes the sorting action orderly, avoids mutual interference and congestion between fruits, and increases the sorting volume per unit time. When the camellia fruit does not meet the weight corresponding to the three hydraulic cylinders, it will be unloaded from the right side of the conveyor table 2. The right end of the conveying pipe 45 is inclined downwards, so that the fruit can slide smoothly onto the conveying table 2 instead of falling violently. This also plays a role in protecting the fruit to a certain extent, ensuring the integrity and quality of the camellia fruit used to prepare camellia oil. The symmetrical distribution of the three sets of fixed frames 494, the second hydraulic cylinder 495, the push plate 496, and the corresponding photoelectric transmitter 493 and photoelectric receiver 497 enables the device to sort camellia fruits of different weight ranges at the same time, enhancing the applicability of the device. The control panel 3 used in this case is a Siemens SIMATIC HMI, and the weight sensor 48 is a Zemic L6D.
