Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to mechanical equipment, and more particularly to a fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale fruit and vegetable processing industries, "fruit cups" are commonly used as material carriers in processes such as fruit sorting, washing, testing, and packaging. These fruit cups are typically containers designed to specific specifications, with each cup carrying a single individual (such as an apple) or a quantitative unit (such as a small bunch of grapes), moving sequentially along a closed or open transport line through various processing stations. Existing basic fruit cup transport lines typically include a circular or linear conveyor belt and cup slots or guide rails for positioning and limiting. This system achieves a certain throughput of fruit cups circulating along the line; however, these transport lines are generally composed of multiple transport units and functional sections, and the transport in some units is even disordered, random, and chaotic, failing to meet the precise flow control requirements of other transport functional units. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies in fruit cup transport lines, which cannot accurately control the flow rate, by providing a new fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling the flow rate of fruit and vegetable transport lines.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A flow control fruit cup blocking mechanism for a fruit and vegetable transport line includes a fruit cup transport line with a gantry frame. The fruit cup conveying line is located below the gantry frame and has a fruit cup channel. It also includes a first blocking mechanism, which is disposed on the gantry frame and located above the fruit cup channel. The first blocking mechanism is in a blocking state and a relaxed state on the gantry frame. When the first blocking mechanism is in the blocking state, it can block the fruit cup corresponding to the fruit cup channel. When the first blocking mechanism is in the relaxed state, the fruit cup channel can release the fruit cup.

[0005] This application combines the blocking and releasing states formed by the first blocking mechanism with control to effectively control the stacking and release state of the fruit cups in the conveying unit, thereby achieving precise flow control on the conveying line.

[0006] Preferably, the above-described fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line includes a first blocking mechanism comprising a first driving cylinder, a connecting lever, and a first blocking rod. The rear end of the first driving cylinder is connected to the gantry frame, the fulcrum of the connecting lever is connected to the fulcrum of the gantry frame, the power end of the connecting lever is connected to the driving end of the first driving cylinder, and the first blocking rod is perpendicular to the fruit cup channel, with one end fixed to the resistance end of the connecting lever. The first driving cylinder drives the power end of the connecting lever, transmitting the force to the resistance end of the connecting lever. The first blocking rod connected to the resistance end of the connecting lever can control whether the fruit cup exits the channel.

[0007] Preferably, in the above-described fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line, the gantry frame is provided with an installation platform, and the fulcrum of the connecting lever is rotatably connected to the installation platform via a rotating shaft.

[0008] Preferably, in the above-described fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line, the connecting lever has a hollow structure.

[0009] Preferably, in the above-described fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line, a fruit cup diverting rod is also provided on the fruit cup transport line, and a fruit cup channel is formed between adjacent fruit cup diverting rods. A clearance groove is provided on the fruit cup diverting rod near the first blocking rod.

[0010] Preferably, in the above-described fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line, the gantry frame located below the first blocking mechanism is further provided with a first detection device.

[0011] Preferably, the fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line described above further includes a second blocking component. The second blocking component includes a second driving cylinder and a second blocking rod. The second driving cylinder is mounted on the gantry frame, and the second blocking rod is perpendicular to the fruit cup channel, with one end fixed to the driving end of the second driving cylinder. The second driving cylinder drives the second blocking rod to form a blocking state and a releasing state on the fruit cup channel.

[0012] Preferably, in the above-described fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling flow in a fruit and vegetable transport line, the gantry frame located below the second blocking component is further provided with a second detection device.

[0013] The present invention has the following advantages through the above structural improvements: The mechanism of this application is placed on the conveyor line and combined with the detection device. Through the blocking state and the relaxation state formed by the first blocking mechanism or the second blocking component, the accumulation and release of the fruit cup can be actively controlled to achieve precise control of the flow rate of the conveying unit.

[0016] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the present invention: Example

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling the flow of a fruit and vegetable transport line includes a fruit cup transport line 1, a gantry frame 2 on the fruit cup transport line 1, a fruit cup channel 3 located below the gantry frame 2 on the fruit cup transport line 1, and a first blocking mechanism 4 disposed on the gantry frame 2 and above the fruit cup channel 3. The first blocking mechanism 4 is in a blocking state and a relaxed state on the gantry frame 2. When the first blocking mechanism 4 is in the blocking state, it can block the fruit cups in the fruit cup channel 3. When the first blocking mechanism 4 is in the relaxed state, the fruit cup channel 3 can release the fruit cups.

[0018] Preferably, the first blocking mechanism 4 includes a first driving cylinder 41, a connecting lever 42, and a first blocking rod 43. The rear end of the first driving cylinder 41 is connected to the gantry frame 2. The fulcrum of the connecting lever 42 is rotatably connected to the gantry frame 2. The force-bearing point of the connecting lever 42 is connected to the driving end of the first driving cylinder 41. The first blocking rod 43 is disposed on the force-applying point of the connecting lever 42. The first driving cylinder 41 drives the force-bearing point of the connecting lever 42, thereby controlling whether the fruit cup channel 3 exits the fruit cup through the first blocking rod 43 on the force-applying point of the connecting lever 42.

[0019] Specifically, the first blocking mechanism 4 of this utility model is in a blocking state under normal conditions. When it needs to be switched to a relaxed state, the first driving cylinder 41 first pushes the rear end of the connecting lever 42 outward, so that the front end of the connecting lever 42 will move inward, thereby the first blocking rod 43 will disengage from the fruit cup of the fruit cup channel 3, and the fruit cup of the fruit cup channel 3 can be released smoothly. When it is necessary to switch to the blocking state, the first drive cylinder 41 first pulls the rear end of the connecting lever 42 inward, thus causing the front end of the connecting lever 42 to move outward, so that the first blocking rod 43 will block the fruit cup in the fruit cup channel 3.

[0020] Preferably, the gantry frame 2 is provided with a mounting platform 21, and the fulcrum of the connecting lever 42 is rotatably connected to the mounting platform 21 via a rotating shaft.

[0021] Specifically, the mounting platform 21 facilitates the installation or removal of the connecting lever 42.

[0022] Preferably, the connecting lever 42 has a hollow structure.

[0023] Furthermore, the hollow structure of the connecting lever 42, while ensuring the strength of the connecting lever 42, can also effectively reduce the force required for the first driving cylinder 41 to drive the connecting lever 42.

[0024] Preferably, the fruit cup transport line 1 is also provided with a fruit cup diverting rod 11, and the fruit cup channel 3 is formed between adjacent fruit cup diverting rods 11. The fruit cup diverting rod 11 is also provided with a clearance groove 111 near the first blocking rod 43.

[0025] Specifically, the fruit cup diverting rod 11 can guide the fruit cups on the fruit cup transport line 1, while the relief groove 111 is designed to accommodate the first blocking rod 43.

[0026] Preferably, the gantry frame 2 is also provided with a first detection device 5 located below the first blocking mechanism 4.

[0027] Furthermore, the first detection device 5 can detect the fruit cups on the fruit cup transport line 1, thereby controlling whether the first blocking mechanism 4 needs to block or allow the fruit cups to pass.

[0028] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 As shown, a fruit cup blocking mechanism for controlling the flow of a fruit and vegetable transport line includes a fruit cup transport line 1, a gantry frame 2 on the fruit cup transport line 1, a fruit cup channel 3 located below the gantry frame 2 on the fruit cup transport line 1, and a second blocking component 6. The second blocking component 6 includes a second driving cylinder 61 and a second blocking rod 62. The second driving cylinder 61 is mounted on the gantry frame 2, and the second blocking rod 62 is disposed on the driving end of the second driving cylinder 61. The second driving cylinder 61 drives the second blocking rod 62 to form a blocking state and a releasing state on the fruit cup channel 3.

[0029] Preferably, the gantry 2 is further provided with a second detection device 7 located below the second blocking component 6.

[0030] Furthermore, the second detection device 7 can detect the fruit cups on the fruit cup transport line 1, thereby controlling whether the second blocking component 6 needs to block or allow the fruit cups to pass.

[0031] In other embodiments, the second blocking component 6 can also directly use the second driving cylinder 61 to drive the second blocking rod 62 to control the cup passage 3 to block or release the cup. The second blocking component 6 with this structure is simpler and easier to manufacture.

[0032] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
