Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting technology, and in particular to a fruit cup, a fruit and vegetable conveying 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, tomatoes, and pineapples. 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 fruit and vegetable conveying mechanisms, which may be equipped with multiple fruit cups. Each fruit cup can hold a corresponding fruit or vegetable, and the lower half of the fruit or vegetable can be embedded in the fruit cup. The fruit cups can be used to protect the fruit or vegetable to prevent it from being damaged by contact during the conveying process.

[0004] However, the friction between the fruit cup and the fruit and vegetables is relatively large. When the grasping mechanism of the fruit and vegetable sorting device grasps the fruit and vegetables in the fruit cup, the friction between the fruit and vegetables and the fruit cup may lift the fruit cup up. When the fruit cup falls, it may hit other fruits and vegetables. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a fruit cup, a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, and a fruit and vegetable sorting device to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the static friction between the fruit cup and the fruit and vegetables is large, and the friction between the fruit and vegetables and the fruit cup may lift the fruit cup when the fruit and vegetables in the fruit cup are picked up.

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

[0007] One embodiment of this utility model provides a fruit cup, comprising:

[0008] The cup lid includes a plurality of first flexible support members, all of which are evenly distributed around the central axis of the cup lid, and there is a gap between two adjacent first flexible support members.

[0009] Lining;

[0010] The housing has a receiving cavity, the inner liner is installed in the receiving cavity, the cup lid is connected to the housing, the cup lid is located at the opening of the receiving cavity, and the cup lid and the housing clamp the inner liner.

[0011] With the above structure, when fruits and vegetables come into contact with the first flexible support, they will press against the first flexible support, causing the first flexible support to indent towards the inner liner. There is a gap between two adjacent first flexible support members, and they will not contact each other, so as to increase the deformation of the first flexible support member after being compressed. The bottom of the fruit and vegetables can contact the inner liner to a greater extent, and the inner liner can provide greater support for the fruit and vegetables, reducing the clamping force of the first flexible support member on the fruit and vegetables after deformation. This makes the maximum static friction between the side surface of the fruit and vegetables and the first flexible support member smaller when the fruit and vegetables are picked up, reducing the possibility that the fruit cup will move up with the fruit during the upward movement of the fruit and vegetables.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first flexible support includes an arcuate side facing the central axis of the cup lid;

[0013] In the direction toward the central axis of the cup lid, the gap between two adjacent first flexible support members gradually increases.

[0014] With the above structure, the arc-shaped side faces the central axis of the cup lid. The arc-shaped side has no sharp points and will not scratch the surface of fruits and vegetables when it comes into contact with them. In addition, the gap between two adjacent first flexible support members gradually increases in the direction of the central axis of the cup lid. This can further improve the deformation degree of the first flexible support member at the arc-shaped side, allowing fruits and vegetables to contact the inner liner to a greater extent and enabling the inner liner to provide greater support for the fruits and vegetables. This further reduces the maximum static friction between the first flexible support member and the side surface of the fruits and vegetables, making it more difficult for the fruit cup to move upwards during the upward movement of the fruits and vegetables.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cup lid includes a fastening portion surrounding the periphery of the cup lid; the housing includes a fastening protrusion surrounding the periphery of the housing, the fastening protrusion being located at the opening of the receiving cavity, and the fastening portion engaging with the fastening protrusion.

[0016] With the above structure, during the assembly of the fruit cup, the inner liner is first installed in the receiving cavity, and then the cup lid is placed at the opening of the receiving cavity, so that the fastening part and the fastening protrusion are fastened together. The cup lid is connected to the shell, and the cup lid and the shell hold the inner liner to complete the assembly of the fruit cup. There is no need to use glue or other methods to fix the cup lid and the shell, which simplifies the assembly process of the fruit cup.

[0017] In some embodiments, the fruit cup has a clearance groove, which passes through the cup lid, the inner liner and the shell in sequence; the central axis of the clearance groove is collinear with the central axis of the cup lid.

[0018] With the above structure, when the fruit cup is holding fruits and vegetables, dust and other debris on the surface of the fruits and vegetables will adhere to the inside of the fruit cup; the clearance channel is sequentially installed through the cup lid, inner liner and shell; the clearance channel allows cleaning liquid to pass through the fruit cup, so that users can clean the fruit cup.

[0019] In some embodiments, the liner includes an arcuate bottom wall and a plurality of second flexible support members, wherein the second flexible support members and the arcuate bottom wall are arranged sequentially in the direction from the cup lid to the housing;

[0020] All the second flexible support members are evenly distributed around the central axis of the liner, and there is a gap between two adjacent second flexible support members;

[0021] The arc-shaped bottom wall protrudes away from the cup lid, and the center of the arc-shaped bottom wall is located at the end away from the cup lid. The clearance groove passes through the center of the arc-shaped bottom wall.

[0022] With the above structure, the bottom of the fruits and vegetables can contact the second flexible support member, which can support the fruits and vegetables to reduce the pressure of the fruits and vegetables on the first flexible support member. After being deformed by pressure, the second flexible support member can bend downward and contact the arc-shaped bottom wall, which can provide support to the fruits and vegetables through the first flexible support member.

[0023] In addition, the center of the curved bottom wall is located at the end away from the cup lid, allowing the through groove to pass through the center of the curved bottom wall; the curved bottom wall protrudes away from the cup lid, and as the cleaning liquid flows through the curved bottom wall, it can flow from the edge of the curved bottom wall to the center, so that the curved bottom wall can be cleaned more thoroughly during the cleaning process of the fruit cup.

[0024] In some embodiments, the liner further includes a body, the body including the arcuate bottom wall; the second flexible support includes a horizontal section and an inclined section, the inclined section being connected to the body on the side facing away from the cup lid, and the inclined section being connected to the horizontal section on the side facing the cup lid;

[0025] The lining is provided with a flow guide groove, which is formed between two adjacent inclined sections. The flow guide groove is located on the side of the inclined section opposite to the corresponding horizontal section, and the width of the flow guide groove is greater than the width of the gap between two adjacent horizontal sections.

[0026] With the above structure, the inner liner is provided with a flow guide groove, which is formed between two adjacent inclined sections. The inclined section is connected to the horizontal section on the side facing the cup lid. This makes the horizontal section higher than the flow guide groove. During the cleaning process of the fruit cup, the flow guide groove can be used to allow the cleaning liquid to pass through. The cleaning liquid can first contact the horizontal section and then flow along the inclined section to the flow guide groove, so that the second flexible support can be cleaned more thoroughly.

[0027] In some embodiments, the liner further includes a mounting protrusion surrounding the periphery of the liner and located on the side of the liner facing the cup lid; the housing has a mounting groove surrounding the periphery of the receiving cavity and located at the opening of the receiving cavity and communicating with the receiving cavity, and the mounting protrusion is mounted in the mounting groove.

[0028] With the above structure, the inner liner is first placed into the receiving cavity, then the mounting protrusion is aligned with the mounting groove until the groove wall supports the mounting protrusion, thus completing the positioning between the inner liner and the shell; finally, the cup lid is connected to the shell so that the cup lid and the shell clamp the inner liner, thus completing the assembly of the fruit cup.

[0029] In some embodiments, the housing includes a first support member and a plurality of second support members, the first support member being connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove, and the first support member having a mesh structure;

[0030] All the second support members are evenly arranged around the central axis of the housing. One side of the second support member is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and the other adjacent side of the second support member is connected to the first support member. The side of the second support member facing the central axis of the housing abuts against the outer surface of the liner.

[0031] With the above structure, the first support member is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove, and the first support member has a mesh structure; during the demolding process after the shell is injection molded, the first support member can strengthen the bottom wall of the shell and keep the bottom wall of the shell flat to avoid deformation of the bottom wall of the shell.

[0032] In addition, one side of the second support member is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, which can improve the strength of the side wall of the receiving cavity; the side of the second support member facing the central axis of the shell abuts against the outer surface of the inner liner, which can support the inner liner to prevent the inner liner from shaking in the receiving cavity after being compressed, thus improving the stability of the fruit cup.

[0033] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, including the fruit cup in any of the above embodiments.

[0034] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable sorting device, including the fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism in the above embodiment.

[0035] Compared with existing technologies, when fruits and vegetables come into contact with the first flexible support, they press against it, causing the first flexible support to indent towards the inner liner. There is a gap between adjacent first flexible support members, preventing them from contacting each other. This increases the deformation of the first flexible support member under pressure, allowing the bottom of the fruit and vegetable to contact the inner liner more fully. The inner liner provides greater support for the fruit and vegetable, reducing the clamping force of the first flexible support member after deformation. This also reduces the maximum static friction between the side surface of the fruit and vegetable and the first flexible support member when the fruit is picked up, decreasing the possibility of the fruit cup moving upwards with the fruit during the upward movement.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0047] The following detailed description, in conjunction with all the accompanying drawings, describes in detail a fruit cup 100, a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, and a fruit and vegetable sorting device provided in this application through specific embodiments.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 One embodiment of this utility model discloses a fruit cup 100, including a cup lid 10, an inner liner 20, and a shell 30; the cup lid 10 includes a plurality of first flexible support members 12, all of which are evenly distributed around the central axis of the cup lid 10, and there is a gap between two adjacent first flexible support members 12; the shell 30 has a receiving cavity 302, the inner liner 20 is installed in the receiving cavity 302, the cup lid 10 is connected to the shell 30, the cup lid 10 is located at the opening of the receiving cavity 302, and the cup lid 10 and the shell 30 clamp the inner liner 20.

[0049] With the above structure, when fruits and vegetables come into contact with the first flexible support member 12, they will press against the first flexible support member 12, causing the first flexible support member 12 to be recessed towards the inner liner 20. There is a gap between two adjacent first flexible support members 12, and the two adjacent first flexible support members 12 will not contact each other, so as to increase the deformation of the first flexible support member 12 after being compressed. The bottom of the fruits and vegetables can contact the inner liner 20 to a greater extent, and the inner liner 20 can provide greater support for the fruits and vegetables, reducing the clamping force of the first flexible support member 12 on the fruits and vegetables after deformation. This makes the maximum static friction between the side surface of the fruits and vegetables and the first flexible support member 12 smaller when the fruits and vegetables are picked up, reducing the possibility that the fruit cup 100 will move upward with the fruits and vegetables during the upward movement.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cup lid 10 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber or plastic, and the cup lid 10 as a whole can be in the shape of a hollow cylinder; the first flexible support member 12 can be in the shape of a semi-circular sheet, with the arc-shaped edge of the first flexible support member 12 facing the central axis of the cup lid 10, and the cup lid 10 can be fastened to the shell 30.

[0051] The liner 20 can also be made of flexible materials such as rubber or plastic. The liner 20 can also be in the form of a hollow cylindrical structure. The liner 20 can also include a sheet-like support structure for supporting the bottom of the fruit and vegetables.

[0052] The housing 30 can be made of plastic or other rigid materials. The housing 30 can also be in the form of a hollow cylinder. The opening of the receiving cavity 302 can face the upper end of the housing 30. The receiving cavity 302 can be cylindrical. The bottom of the housing 30 can be rounded to reduce the possibility of the housing 30 getting stuck due to contact between the bottom of the housing 30 and the belt or steel plate.

[0053] In other embodiments, the cup lid 10 may also be in other shapes, such as a column with an elliptical cross-section; the first flexible support 12 may also be in other shapes, such as an isosceles trapezoid; and the inner liner 20 may also be in other shapes, such as a column with an elliptical cross-section.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first flexible support 12 includes an arcuate side 122 facing the central axis of the cup lid 10; in the direction facing the central axis of the cup lid 10, the gap between two adjacent first flexible supports 12 gradually increases.

[0055] With the above structure, the arc-shaped side 122 faces the central axis of the cup lid 10. The arc-shaped side 122 has no sharp points and will not scratch the surface of fruits and vegetables when it comes into contact with them. In addition, in the direction facing the central axis of the cup lid 10, the gap between two adjacent first flexible support members 12 gradually increases, which can further improve the deformation degree of the first flexible support member 12 at the arc-shaped side 122. Fruits and vegetables can contact the inner liner 20 to a greater extent, and the inner liner 20 can provide greater support for the fruits and vegetables. This further reduces the maximum static friction between the first flexible support member 12 and the side surface of the fruits and vegetables, making it more difficult for the fruit cup 100 to move upwards during the upward movement of the fruits and vegetables.

[0056] Specifically, the first flexible support 12 can be a semi-circular sheet structure, and the arc-shaped side 122 is semi-circular arc-shaped.

[0058] With the above structure, during the assembly process of the fruit cup 100, the inner liner 20 is first installed in the receiving cavity 302, and then the cup lid 10 is placed at the opening of the receiving cavity 302, so that the fastening part 14 is fastened with the fastening protrusion 32, the cup lid 10 is connected to the housing 30, and the cup lid 10 and the housing 30 clamp the inner liner 20 to complete the assembly of the fruit cup 100; there is no need to use glue or other methods to fix the cup lid 10 and the housing 30, which simplifies the assembly process of the fruit cup 100.

[0059] Specifically, the fastening part 14 can protrude towards the housing 30 relative to the cup lid 10, and the fastening part 14 can be in the form of a ring; the fastening protrusion 32 can also be in the form of a ring, and the fastening protrusion 32 protrudes relative to the side surface of the housing 30; the fastening part 14 can be sleeved on the fastening protrusion 32, and the lower edge of the fastening part 14 can clamp the fastening protrusion 32 together with the side of the cup lid 10 facing the housing 30.

[0060] In some embodiments, the fruit cup 100 has a clearance groove 40, which passes through the cup lid 10, the inner liner 20 and the shell 30 in sequence; the central axis of the clearance groove 40 is collinear with the central axis of the cup lid 10.

[0061] With the above structure, when the fruit cup 100 is carrying fruits and vegetables, dust and other debris on the surface of the fruits and vegetables will adhere to the inside of the fruit cup 100; the clearance groove 40 is sequentially installed through the cup lid 10, the inner liner 20 and the shell 30; the clearance groove 40 allows cleaning liquid to pass through the fruit cup 100, so that the user can clean the fruit cup 100.

[0064] In other embodiments, the clearance slot 40 may also be other shapes, such as rectangles or polygons.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the liner 20 includes an arcuate bottom wall 24 and a plurality of second flexible support members 26, which are arranged sequentially in the direction from the cup lid 10 to the housing 30.

[0066] All the second flexible support members 26 are evenly distributed around the central axis of the inner liner 20, and there is a gap between two adjacent second flexible support members 26.

[0068] Through the above structure, the bottom of the fruits and vegetables can contact the second flexible support member 26. The second flexible support member 26 can support the fruits and vegetables to reduce the pressure of the fruits and vegetables on the first flexible support member 12. After being deformed by pressure, the second flexible support member 26 can bend downward and contact the arc-shaped bottom wall 24. The arc-shaped bottom wall 24 can provide support to the fruits and vegetables through the first flexible support member 12.

[0069] In addition, the center of the arc-shaped bottom wall 24 is located at the end opposite to the cup lid 10, allowing the through groove 40 to pass through the center of the arc-shaped bottom wall 24; the arc-shaped bottom wall 24 protrudes away from the cup lid 10, and the cleaning liquid can flow from the edge of the arc-shaped bottom wall 24 to the center during the cleaning process of the fruit cup 100, so that the arc-shaped bottom wall 24 can be cleaned more thoroughly.

The flow guide groove 202 is located on the side of the inclined section 264 facing away from the corresponding horizontal section 262. The width of the flow guide groove 202 is greater than the width of the gap between the two adjacent horizontal sections 262.

[0074] With the above structure, the inner liner 20 has a guide channel 202, which is formed between two adjacent inclined sections 264. The inclined section 264 is connected to the horizontal section 262 on the side facing the cup lid 10. This makes the horizontal section 262 higher than the guide channel 202. During the cleaning process of the fruit cup 100, the guide channel 202 can be used to allow the cleaning liquid to pass through. The cleaning liquid can first contact the horizontal section 262 and then flow along the inclined section 264 to the guide channel 202, so that the second flexible support member 26 can be cleaned more thoroughly.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, the body 28 may include a cylindrical structure; the inclined section 264 and the horizontal section 262 may both be sheet-like structures similar to an isosceles trapezoid; the side of the inclined section 264 may be recessed so that a guide groove 202 is formed between two adjacent inclined sections 264, and the guide groove 202 may be a through groove similar to an ellipse.

[0076] In other embodiments, the inclined segment 264 may also include other structures, such as an arc-shaped sheet structure; the guide channel 202 may also be in other shapes, such as circular or rhomboid.

[0078] With the above structure, firstly, the inner liner 20 is placed into the receiving cavity 302, then the mounting protrusion 22 is aligned with the mounting groove 304 until the groove wall of the mounting groove 304 supports the mounting protrusion 22, thus completing the positioning between the inner liner 20 and the shell 30; finally, the cup lid 10 is connected to the shell 30, so that the cup lid 10 and the shell 30 clamp the inner liner 20, thus completing the assembly of the fruit cup 100.

[0080] In other embodiments, the mounting protrusion 22 may also include other structures, such as a plurality of block-shaped protrusion structures.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the housing 30 includes a first support member 34 and a plurality of second support members 36. The first support member 34 is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 304 and has a mesh structure.
