Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable sorting technology, and in particular to a conveyor belt cleaning device, a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, and a fruit and vegetable sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people pursue a higher quality of life, their demands for fruit quality are gradually increasing, making fruit sorting an important technology. In fruit sorting technology, the fruit and vegetable conveyor system is a crucial tool. During fruit transport, the conveyor belt of the system accumulates residues such as fruit peels, bloom, and pulp. If these residues are not cleaned promptly, subsequent fruits and vegetables passing through the conveyor belt will also have these residues on them, affecting subsequent sorting processes. Therefore, timely cleaning of the conveyor belt is essential.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning of conveyor belts mainly focuses on cleaning the conveying surface, making it difficult to effectively clean both sides of the conveyor belt, which affects the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a conveyor belt cleaning device, a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, and a fruit and vegetable sorting machine to solve the technical problem that it is difficult to effectively clean both sides of the conveyor belt in the prior art.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model embodiment is addressed by the following technical solution:

[0006] A conveyor belt cleaning device is provided, including a first cleaning brush, a second cleaning brush, a drive assembly, and a cleaning assembly; the brush surfaces of the first cleaning brush and the second cleaning brush are arranged opposite to each other, and a cleaning station for accommodating the conveyor belt is formed between the first cleaning brush and the second cleaning brush; the cleaning assembly is capable of cleaning the conveyor belt located at the cleaning station; the drive assembly is tractively connected to the first cleaning brush to drive the first cleaning brush to move closer to or further away from the second cleaning brush.

[0007] In this embodiment, when the conveyor belt needs cleaning, the drive assembly drives the first cleaning brush closer to the second cleaning brush, causing the first and second cleaning brushes to come close together and clamp the conveyor belt. The first and second cleaning brushes can clean both sides of the conveyor belt respectively. In addition, the cleaning assembly can also clean the conveyor belt at the cleaning station, thereby thoroughly cleaning both sides of the conveyor belt and effectively improving the cleaning effect. When cleaning the conveyor belt is not required, the drive assembly drives the first cleaning brush away from the second cleaning brush. At this time, the first and second cleaning brushes release their clamping of the conveyor belt, but the conveyor belt still passes between the first and second cleaning brushes, and the first and second cleaning brushes are respectively spaced a certain distance from the conveyor belt, so as not to affect the normal conveying of the conveyor belt.

[0008] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt cleaning device further includes a first mounting base and a second mounting base, the first mounting base being tractively connected to the drive assembly, and the first cleaning brush being disposed on the first mounting base;

[0009] The second mounting base is used to fix it to the bracket, and the second cleaning brush is disposed on the second mounting base.

[0010] In this embodiment, the first mounting base is used to mount the first cleaning brush, and the first mounting base can be directly mounted on the drive assembly. Alternatively, the first mounting base and the drive assembly are connected in a driving manner, and the drive assembly drives the first mounting base to drive the first cleaning brush closer to or further away from the second cleaning brush.

[0011] The second mounting base is used to mount the second cleaning brush. When the conveyor belt cleaning device of this embodiment is applied to a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, the second mounting base can be mounted on the conveyor belt bracket. Since the second mounting base is fixedly installed, the second cleaning brush is also fixedly installed. Cleaning is achieved by driving the first cleaning brush close to the second cleaning brush through the drive assembly.

[0012] The above structure allows for better coordination and stability between the first and second cleaning brushes, making them easier to control and enabling more precise movement of the brushes closer or further apart with less deviation.

[0013] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt cleaning device further includes a guide post; a guide hole is provided on the first mounting base, the first mounting base passes through the guide hole to one end of the guide post, and the other end of the guide post is connected to the second mounting base.

[0014] Through the above structure, the guide post has a guiding function. Through the cooperation of the guide post and the guide hole, the first cleaning brush located on the first mounting base can more accurately approach or move away from the second cleaning brush.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first cleaning brush includes a first plate brush, and the second cleaning brush includes a second plate brush. The first plate brush is disposed on the first mounting base, and the second plate brush is disposed on the second mounting base. The brush surfaces of the first plate brush and the second plate brush are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other. The guide posts are perpendicular to the brush surfaces of the first plate brush and the second plate brush, respectively.

[0016] In this embodiment, since the brush surfaces of the first and second brushes are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other, when the first and second brushes approach each other, they can more effectively clamp the conveyor belt and effectively clean the dirt on both sides of the conveyor belt. Because the guide posts are perpendicular to the brush surfaces of the first and second brushes respectively, the movement of the first and second brushes when they approach or move away from each other is more precise, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0017] In one embodiment, the guide post includes a screw section, an intermediate section, and a guide section. The intermediate section is located between the screw section and the guide section, and the outer diameter of the intermediate section is larger than the outer diameter of the guide section and the diameter of the guide hole. The first mounting seat passes through the guide hole onto the guide section, and the screw section is threadedly connected to the second mounting seat.

[0018] With the above structure, a threaded hole is provided on the second mounting base, and the screw section is threadedly connected to the second mounting base through the threaded hole. The guide section and the guide hole can cooperate with each other to achieve a guiding function. Since the diameter of the middle section is larger than the outer diameter of the guide section and the diameter of the guide hole, the guide hole cannot slide to the middle section. The middle section has a limiting function on the first mounting base, and thus a limiting function on the first and second cleaning brushes, preventing the first and second cleaning brushes from getting too close, thereby avoiding damage or excessive wear when clamping the conveyor belt. Furthermore, since the first mounting base passes through the guide hole onto the guide section, and the guide section has a supporting function on the first mounting base, the first mounting base and the drive assembly can be in contact connection, or in contact connection when driving the first and second cleaning brushes to approach each other. When the first and second cleaning brushes move away from each other, the first mounting base and the drive assembly are disconnected.

[0019] In some embodiments, to provide better support for the first mounting base and to enable both ends of the first cleaning brush to simultaneously approach the second cleaning brush, two guide posts and two drive assemblies are used. The two guide posts and two drive assemblies are located at both ends of the first mounting base. The two guide posts can guide both ends of the first mounting base synchronously, and the two drive assemblies can act on the first mounting base respectively, so that the two ends of the first mounting base are subjected to balanced forces, thereby enabling both ends of the first cleaning brush to simultaneously approach the second cleaning brush.

[0020] In one embodiment, the first cleaning brush, the second cleaning brush, the first mounting base, and the second mounting base are all strip-shaped, and the first cleaning brush, the second cleaning brush, the first mounting base, and the second mounting base are all perpendicular to the conveyor belt.

[0021] The above structure can effectively clean both sides of the conveyor belt, resulting in high cleaning efficiency and good cleaning effect.

[0022] In one embodiment, the cleaning assembly includes a delivery pipe and at least one nozzle. The delivery pipe is connected to a cleaning liquid source, and each of the nozzles is disposed on the delivery pipe and faces the cleaning station to clean the conveyor belt located at the cleaning station.

[0023] The drive assembly includes a drive element and a third mounting base. The drive element is disposed on the third mounting base and is tractively connected to the first cleaning brush to drive the first cleaning brush to move closer to or further away from the second cleaning brush.

[0024] With the above structure, the conveying pipe can be connected to a clean water source, and multiple nozzles are distributed at intervals along the length of the conveying pipe. Preferably, the conveying pipe is perpendicular to the conveyor belt, and each nozzle is aimed at the cleaning station. After the nozzle sprays clean water, it can clean the conveyor belt.

[0025] When the conveyor belt cleaning device of this embodiment is applied to a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, the second mounting base, the third mounting base and the conveying pipe can be installed on the support of the belt conveyor, and the three are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other.

[0026] In one embodiment, the brush surfaces of the first cleaning brush and the second cleaning brush are respectively inclined relative to the horizontal plane.

[0027] With the above structure, after the first and second cleaning brushes remove dirt from the conveyor belt, the dirt will not accumulate on the conveyor belt and can fall off smoothly, thereby further improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of the conveyor belt.

[0028] This embodiment also provides a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, including the conveyor belt cleaning device described above. The fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism of this embodiment also has the advantages described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0029] This embodiment also provides a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including the aforementioned fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism. The fruit and vegetable sorting machine of this embodiment also has the aforementioned advantages, which will not be repeated here.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, in the conveyor belt cleaning device of this invention, when the conveyor belt needs cleaning, the drive assembly drives the first cleaning brush to approach the second cleaning brush, causing the first and second cleaning brushes to come close together to clamp the conveyor belt. The first and second cleaning brushes can clean both sides of the conveyor belt respectively. In addition, the cleaning assembly can also clean the conveyor belt at the cleaning station, thereby thoroughly cleaning both sides of the conveyor belt and effectively improving the cleaning effect. When the conveyor belt does not need cleaning, the drive assembly drives the first cleaning brush away from the second cleaning brush. At this time, the first and second cleaning brushes release their clamping of the conveyor belt, but the conveyor belt still passes between the first and second cleaning brushes, and the first and second cleaning brushes are respectively spaced a certain distance from the conveyor belt, so as not to affect the normal conveying of the conveyor belt.

[0040] 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.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a conveyor belt cleaning device 100, including a first cleaning brush 10, a cleaning component 20, a second cleaning brush 30, and a drive component 40; the brush surfaces of the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 are arranged opposite to each other, and a cleaning station 101 for accommodating the conveyor belt is formed between the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30; the cleaning component 20 is capable of cleaning the conveyor belt 102 located at the cleaning station 101; the drive component 40 is tractively connected to the first cleaning brush 10 to drive the first cleaning brush 10 to move closer to or away from the second cleaning brush 30.

[0042] exist Figure 1 In the middle, the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 approach each other and clamp the conveyor belt 101. Figure 1 The direction indicated by arrow V is the transmission direction of conveyor belt 101, the direction indicated by arrow a is the movement direction of drive assembly 40 when it drives the first cleaning brush 10 close to the second cleaning brush 30, and the direction indicated by arrow b is the spraying direction of cleaning assembly 20. Figure 2 In the middle, the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 are far apart from each other.

[0043] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 102 can be a belt, but it is understood that the conveyor belt 102 can also be a mesh conveyor belt or a chain plate, etc. The conveyor belt 102 is threaded through the cleaning station 101, that is, between the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30. The first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 each include a brush plate and bristles, with the bristles mounted on one side of the brush plate. The brush surface of the first cleaning brush 10 and the brush surface of the second cleaning brush 30 respectively refer to the cleaning surface formed by the end of the bristles away from the brush plate. The working principle of the conveyor belt cleaning device 100 in this embodiment is as follows: When the conveyor belt 102 needs to be cleaned, the drive component 40 drives the first cleaning brush 10 to approach the second cleaning brush 30, so that the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 approach each other to clamp the conveyor belt 102. The first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 can clean both sides of the conveyor belt 102 respectively. In addition, the cleaning component 20 can also clean the conveyor belt 102 at the cleaning station 101, so that both sides of the conveyor belt 102 can be thoroughly cleaned, effectively improving the cleaning effect of the conveyor belt 102. When cleaning of the conveyor belt 102 is not required, the first cleaning brush 10 is driven away from the second cleaning brush 30 by the drive assembly 40. At this time, the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 release the clamping of the conveyor belt 102, but the conveyor belt 102 is still passed between the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30, and the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 are respectively at a certain distance from the conveyor belt 102, so as not to affect the normal conveying of the conveyor belt 102.

[0044] Please refer to the above as well. Figure 3 In one embodiment, the conveyor belt cleaning device 100 further includes a first mounting base 50, which is tractively connected to the drive assembly 40. A first cleaning brush 10 is mounted on the first mounting base 50. The first mounting base 50 is used to mount the first cleaning brush 10 and can be directly mounted on the drive assembly 40. Alternatively, the first mounting base 50 and the drive assembly 40 can be connected via a transmission mechanism, with the drive assembly 40 driving the first mounting base 50 to move the first cleaning brush 10 closer to or away from the second cleaning brush 30.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first mounting base 50 is a tubular structure, which can effectively mount and fix the first cleaning brush 10. Preferably, the first mounting base 50 is a square tubular structure, that is, the cross-section of the first mounting structure is oriented in the direction of the first mounting. This configuration allows the first cleaning brush 10 to be mounted on one side of the first mounting base 50, and the opposite side of the first mounting base 50 can be mounted on the drive assembly 40.

[0046] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt cleaning device 100 further includes a second mounting base 60, which is used to fix the device to a bracket. The second cleaning brush 30 is disposed on the second mounting base 60. The second mounting base 60 is used to mount the second cleaning brush 30. When the conveyor belt cleaning device 100 of this embodiment is applied to a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, the second mounting base 60 can be fixedly mounted on the bracket of the belt conveyor, or on the bracket of the fruit and vegetable sorting machine, or on other brackets. Since the second mounting base 60 is fixed to the bracket, the second cleaning brush 30 is also fixed to the bracket through the second mounting base 60. Cleaning is achieved by driving the first cleaning brush 10 close to the second cleaning brush 30 through the drive assembly 40. This arrangement allows for better coordination and stability between the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30, making them easier to control and enabling more precise movement of the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30, with smaller deviations in movement.

[0047] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt cleaning device 100 further includes a guide post 70; a guide hole 52 is provided on the first mounting base 50, and the first mounting base 50 passes through the guide hole 52 to one end of the guide post 70, while the other end of the guide post 70 is connected to the second mounting base 60. The guide post 70 has a guiding function, and through the cooperation of the guide post 70 and the guide hole 52, the first cleaning brush 10 located on the first mounting base 50 can more accurately approach or move away from the second cleaning brush 30.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first cleaning brush 10 includes a first plate brush, and the second cleaning brush 30 includes a second plate brush. The first plate brush is mounted on a first mounting base 50, and the second plate brush is mounted on a second mounting base 60. The brush surfaces of the first and second plate brushes are arranged opposite to each other and are parallel to each other. Guide posts 70 are perpendicular to the brush surfaces of the first and second plate brushes, respectively. Because the first and second plate brushes are arranged opposite to each other and are parallel to each other, when the first and second plate brushes approach each other, they can more effectively clamp the conveyor belt 102 and effectively clean the dirt on both sides of the conveyor belt 102. Because the guide posts 70 are perpendicular to the brush surfaces of the first and second plate brushes, the movement of the first and second plate brushes when they approach or move away from each other is more precise, which can further improve the cleaning effect.

[0049] Please refer to the above as well. Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the guide post 70 includes a screw section 72, an intermediate section 74, and a guide section 76. The intermediate section 74 is located between the screw section 72 and the guide section 76, and its outer diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the guide section 76 and the diameter of the guide hole 52. A first mounting base 50 passes through the guide hole 52 onto the guide section 76, and the screw section 72 is threadedly connected to a second mounting base 60. A threaded hole is provided on the second mounting base 60, and the screw section 72 is threadedly connected to the second mounting base 60 through the threaded hole. The guide section 76 and the guide hole 52 can cooperate with each other to achieve a guiding function. Since the diameter of the intermediate section 74 is larger than the outer diameter of the guide section 76 and the diameter of the guide hole 52, the first mounting base 50 cannot slide to the intermediate section 74. The intermediate section 74 has a limiting function on the first mounting base 50, and thus a limiting function on the first cleaning brush 10, preventing the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 from getting too close, thereby avoiding damage or excessive wear when clamping the conveyor belt 102. Furthermore, since the first mounting base 50 passes through the guide hole 52 onto the guide section 76, and the guide section 76 provides support for the first mounting base 50, the first mounting base 50 and the drive assembly 40 can be in contact connection, or in contact connection when the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 are driven close to each other. When the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 are moved away from each other, the first mounting base 50 and the drive assembly 40 are disconnected.

[0050] In some embodiments, to provide better support for the first mounting base 50 and to allow both ends of the first cleaning brush 10 to simultaneously approach the second cleaning brush 30, two guide posts 70 and two drive assemblies 40 are respectively located at both ends of the first mounting base 50. The two guide posts 70 can guide both ends of the first mounting base 50 simultaneously, and the two drive assemblies 40 can act on the first mounting base 50 respectively, so that the two ends of the first mounting base 50 are subjected to balanced force, thereby allowing both ends of the first cleaning brush 10 to simultaneously approach the second cleaning brush 30.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first cleaning brush 10, the second cleaning brush 30, the first mounting base 50, and the second mounting base 60 are all strip-shaped, and are perpendicular to the conveyor belt 102. This arrangement can effectively clean both sides of the conveyor belt 102, resulting in high cleaning efficiency and good cleaning effect.

[0052] In one embodiment, the cleaning assembly 20 includes a delivery pipe 22 and at least one nozzle 24. The delivery pipe 22 is connected to a cleaning liquid source and is provided with at least one nozzle 24 facing the cleaning station 101 to clean the conveyor belt 102 located at the cleaning station 101.

[0053] The delivery pipe 22 is connected to a cleaning liquid source, and multiple nozzles 24 are distributed at intervals along the length of the delivery pipe 22. Preferably, the delivery pipe 22 is perpendicular to the conveyor belt 102, and each nozzle 24 is aligned with the cleaning station 101. After the nozzle 24 sprays the cleaning liquid, it can clean the conveyor belt 102.

[0054] The cleaning solution can be a cleaning fluid, water, etc.

[0055] In one embodiment, the drive assembly 40 includes a drive element 42 and a third mounting base 44. The drive element 42 is disposed on the third mounting base 44 and is kinetically connected to the first cleaning brush 10 to drive the first cleaning brush 10 toward or away from the second cleaning brush 30. The third mounting base 44 is used for mounting on a bracket.

[0056] The driving element 42 can be a cylinder; it is understood that the driving assembly 40 can also be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder, etc. When the conveyor belt cleaning device 100 of this embodiment is applied to a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, the second mounting base 60, the third mounting base 44, and the conveying pipe 22 can be installed on the belt conveyor bracket, and the three are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. The third mounting base 44 can be fixedly installed on the belt conveyor bracket, or on the fruit and vegetable sorting machine bracket, or on other brackets.

[0057] In one embodiment, the brush surfaces of the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 are respectively inclined relative to the horizontal plane. Correspondingly, the conveyor belt 102 is also inclined relative to the horizontal plane when passing through the cleaning station 101, and the inclination angles of the first cleaning brush 10, the second cleaning brush 30, and the conveyor belt 102 when passing through the cleaning station 101 are the same. That is, the first cleaning brush 10, the second cleaning brush 30, and the conveyor belt 102 when passing through the cleaning station 101 are parallel to each other. With this arrangement, after the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30 remove dirt from the conveyor belt 102, the dirt will not accumulate on the conveyor belt 102 and can fall off smoothly from the conveyor belt 102, thereby further improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency of the conveyor belt 102.

[0058] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, including the conveyor belt cleaning device 100 described above. The fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism of this embodiment also has the aforementioned advantages, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] In one embodiment, the fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism includes a motor, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a belt. The belt is fitted onto the driving wheel and the driven wheel. The motor and the driving wheel are connected by a transmission to drive the driving wheel to rotate. When the driving wheel rotates, it can drive the belt to run and drive the driven wheel to rotate. When the belt is running, it can convey jam. The belt can be installed between the first cleaning brush 10 and the second cleaning brush 30.

[0060] Embodiments of this utility model also provide a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including the fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism of any of the above embodiments. Preferably, in some embodiments, the fruit and vegetable sorting machine further includes a feeding device, a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, a detection device, and a sorting device.

[0061] The feeding device transports fruits and vegetables to the fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism then transports the fruits and vegetables to the testing device. The testing device photographs and inspects the fruits and vegetables, and the inspected fruits and vegetables are then transported to the sorting device. The sorting device sorts the fruits and vegetables according to the test results, inputting fruits and vegetables of different qualities into different sorting channels to complete the sorting process.
