Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated fruit processing technology, and in particular to a fruit-turning device for automated fruit processing. Background Technology

[0002] To improve fruit processing efficiency, factories are increasingly shifting from manual to automated processing. For most fruits suitable for automated processing, a periodic rotation is essential in automated peeling operations. Currently, conventional devices for driving fruit rotation are usually independently driven, which is inefficient and can easily damage the fruit flesh, affecting the quality of the processed fruit. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a fruit-turning device for automated fruit processing. This device enables batch synchronous rotation of fruits with high efficiency. Furthermore, by incorporating spring seats, it provides excellent cushioning and protection for the fruits, preventing damage.

[0004] A fruit-turning device for automated fruit processing includes a platform in a Z-shape. Lifting motors are connected to both ends of the top of the platform and drive it to move vertically up and down. Multiple vertically arranged upper rods are evenly installed along the length of the platform's side. Bearing supports and linear sliders that limit the movement of the upper rods are installed on the side of the platform. Spring seats are fitted onto the upper rods. A proximity switch is positioned on the side of the platform opposite the spring seats via a mounting base. A rotating mechanism is connected to the top of the multiple upper rods and drives them to rotate synchronously.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the rotating mechanism includes a servo motor, which is vertically mounted on the top of the platform. The output shaft of the servo motor is equipped with an active synchronous pulley, and the top of the upper push rod is equipped with a driven synchronous pulley. The active synchronous pulley and the driven synchronous pulley are connected by a synchronous belt.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a tensioning pulley that works in conjunction with the timing belt is also installed on the platform.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the spring seat includes a compression spring and an upper positioning plate and a lower positioning plate arranged in parallel. The upper positioning plate and the lower positioning plate are fixedly sleeved on the upper push rod and limited by the screw and nut assembly. The compression spring is slidably sleeved on the upper push rod and its upper and lower ends abut against the upper positioning plate and the lower positioning plate, respectively. The proximity switch is used to detect the position of the lower positioning plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the platform is also equipped with a guide seat that cooperates with its vertical lifting.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, LED lighting is installed at the bottom of the platform.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. It adopts a modular design, which makes installation convenient and reduces maintenance costs.

[0012] 2. It can realize the batch synchronous rotation of fruits, which can effectively improve efficiency, and to a certain extent, the drive mechanism has been simplified and integrated, reducing the size of the device.

[0013] 3. By setting up an elastic seat, the fruit can be firmly positioned while reducing the squeezing and damage to the flesh, thus ensuring the quality of the fruit. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3The fruit-turning device for automated fruit processing shown includes a platform 1, which is Z-shaped. Lifting motors 2 are connected to both ends of the top of the platform 1 and drive it to move vertically up and down. Multiple vertically arranged upper rods 3 are evenly installed along the length of the side of the platform 1. Bearing supports 4 and linear sliders 5 are installed on the side of the platform 1 to limit the movement of the upper rods 3. Spring seats 6 are fitted onto the upper rods 3. A proximity switch 8 is positioned on the side of the platform 1 opposite the spring seats 6 via a mounting base 7. A rotating mechanism is connected to the top of the multiple upper rods 3 and drives them to rotate synchronously.

[0020] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a servo motor 9, which is vertically mounted on the top of the platform 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 9 is equipped with an active synchronous pulley 10, and the top of the upper push rod 3 is equipped with a driven synchronous pulley 11. The active synchronous pulley 10 and the driven synchronous pulley 11 are connected by a synchronous belt 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, a tensioning pulley 13 that works in conjunction with the timing belt 12 is also installed on the platform 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the spring seat 6 includes a compression spring 601 and an upper positioning plate 602 and a lower positioning plate 603 arranged in parallel. The upper positioning plate 602 and the lower positioning plate 603 are fixedly sleeved on the upper push rod 3 and limited by the screw and nut assembly 604. The compression spring 601 is slidably sleeved on the upper push rod 3 and its upper and lower ends abut against the upper positioning plate 602 and the lower positioning plate 603 respectively. The proximity switch 8 is used to detect the position of the lower positioning plate 603.

[0023] In this embodiment, a guide seat 14 is also installed on the platform 1 to cooperate with its vertical lifting.

[0024] In this embodiment, an LED light is installed at the bottom of the platform 1. The LED light is used to provide illumination for the area below the platform 1.

[0025] As is common knowledge, in order to rotate the fruit, a lower rod or other positioning mechanism is provided directly below the upper rod 3. The lower rod or other positioning mechanism can also rotate synchronously with the upper rod 3 as needed.

[0026] The rotation principle of the upper rod is as follows: First, the lifting motor 2 drives the platform to descend as a whole, and the upper rod 3 presses down on the fruit. The lifting motor 2 continues to descend until the proximity switch 8 alarms and stops. At this time, the upper rod 3 fully presses the fruit. Then, the rotating mechanism drives all the upper rods 3 to rotate synchronously, so that the synchronous rotation of multiple fruits can be achieved.

[0027] This fruit-rotating device can achieve batch synchronous rotation of fruits with high efficiency. At the same time, the spring seat 6 can provide good cushioning and protection for the fruit, avoiding damage to the fruit.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
