Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As people pursue a higher quality of life, more and more people are demanding higher quality fruits, making fruit sorting an important technology. In fruit sorting technology, when transporting cardboard boxes and finished boxed fruits and vegetables, sorting is required based on the model of the cardboard box or the grade of the finished boxed fruits and vegetables.

[0003] Currently, the sorting of cardboard boxes or finished product boxes of fruits and vegetables is done through methods such as swing wheel devices or push rod devices, which then transport the goods to downstream conveyor systems. When using swing wheel devices, the structure is relatively complex, including mounting cabinets, and occupies a significant amount of space. Using push rod devices results in low sorting efficiency, and when the cardboard boxes or finished product boxes of fruits and vegetables are large in size and weight, sorting errors are prone to occur. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a sorting device and a fruit and vegetable sorting machine to solve the technical problem of low sorting efficiency in existing sorting devices.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model embodiment is addressed by the following technical solution: A sorting device is provided, including a first conveying mechanism and at least one lifting conveying mechanism; Each of the lifting and conveying mechanisms includes a lifting assembly and a conveying assembly, wherein the conveying assembly is disposed on the lifting assembly; After the first conveying mechanism conveys the material to the conveying component, the lifting component can drive the conveying component to rise so that the conveying component can dock with the corresponding second conveying mechanism, and the conveying component can convey the material to the corresponding second conveying mechanism.

[0006] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism is used to convey materials, and the upstream of the second conveying mechanism is located to the side of the first conveying mechanism. When the first conveying mechanism conveys materials to the lifting conveying mechanism, the lifting component can lift the conveying component to connect with the corresponding second conveying mechanism, and then the material is conveyed to the second conveying mechanism through the conveying component, thereby sorting the material onto the second conveying mechanism. When the first conveying mechanism conveys materials to the lifting conveying mechanism, and it is not necessary to sort the material onto the second conveying mechanism, the lifting conveying mechanism can selectively not lift the material, and the first conveying mechanism continues to convey the material downstream. By setting up a lifting component and a conveying component, with the conveying component located on the lifting component, there is no need to set up additional installation cabinets, saving costs and space. In addition, when the first conveying mechanism conveys materials to the lifting conveying mechanism, it can accurately lift the materials without errors, thus avoiding sorting errors. Furthermore, since the lifting stroke of the lifting component is short, sorting efficiency can also be improved.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first conveying mechanism includes a first mounting frame and at least three conveyor belt assemblies arranged side by side, with a preset gap formed between any two adjacent conveyor belt assemblies. Each of the conveyor belt assemblies and the lifting assembly is mounted on the first mounting frame; The conveying assembly includes a second mounting frame, a drive module, and at least two transmission components. The lifting assembly is convectively connected to the second mounting frame to drive the second mounting frame to rise and fall vertically. The drive module and the transmission components are mounted on the second mounting frame and are convectively connected to drive each transmission component to rotate. The transmission components are arranged side by side, and the position of each transmission component corresponds to the position of a corresponding preset gap.

[0008] In this embodiment, the first mounting frame is used to mount the conveyor belt assembly and the lifting assembly. The second mounting frame is used to mount the drive module and the transmission components. The second mounting frame is driven to move vertically up and down by the lifting assembly, thereby driving the transmission components and the drive module to move vertically up and down. The conveyor belt assemblies arranged side by side can form a preset gap, which can accommodate the transmission components. At least two transmission components can effectively support the material and convey the material to the second conveying mechanism.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first conveying mechanism includes a first mounting frame and rollers, a plurality of rollers are rotatably connected to the first mounting frame, the plurality of rollers are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the plurality of rollers can be driven to rotate to convey the material, and a preset gap is formed between any two adjacent rollers; The lifting assembly is mounted on the first mounting frame; The conveying assembly includes a second mounting frame, a drive module, and at least two transmission components. The lifting assembly is convectively connected to the second mounting frame to drive the second mounting frame to rise and fall vertically. The drive module and the transmission components are mounted on the second mounting frame and are convectively connected to drive each transmission component to rotate. The transmission components are arranged side by side, and the position of each transmission component corresponds to the position of a corresponding preset gap.

[0010] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism includes a first mounting frame and at least two rollers. The preset gap is formed by the rollers between the upper and lower ends along the conveying direction. The sorting device in this embodiment also has the above-mentioned advantages, which will not be repeated here.

[0011] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly includes a telescopic drive element disposed on the first mounting frame and tractively connected to the second mounting frame to drive the second mounting frame to move up and down in a vertical direction.

[0012] In this embodiment, the telescopic drive element drives the second mounting bracket to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby driving the two transmission components to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly further includes a guide post and a buffer sleeve; The third mounting bracket and the telescopic drive element are located below the second mounting bracket; The buffer sleeve is vertically mounted on the third mounting bracket, the upper end of the guide post is connected to the bottom end of the second mounting bracket, and the lower end of the guide post is movably inserted into the buffer sleeve.

[0014] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the guide post and the buffer sleeve, the second mounting bracket and the transmission component can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction under the drive of the telescopic drive element, thereby improving the accuracy of the transmission component in the vertical direction and avoiding deviation during its raising and lowering.

[0015] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly further includes a drive wheel, a first drive belt, and a second drive belt. The drive wheel is rotatably mounted on the second mounting bracket and is located below the drive member. Each drive member and the drive wheel located below it are connected by the first drive belt, and any two adjacent drive wheels are connected by the second drive belt.

[0016] In this embodiment, the transmission components and transmission wheels are connected by a first transmission belt, and any two adjacent transmission wheels are connected by a second transmission belt. By setting up the transmission wheels, the first transmission belt, and the second transmission belt, interference between the transmission structures of the transmission components and the conveyor belt assembly is avoided, thus achieving alignment avoidance.

[0017] In some embodiments, the sorting device further includes a controller and a barcode scanning mechanism, wherein a plurality of barcode scanning mechanisms are disposed on the side of the first conveying mechanism and along the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism, and each barcode scanning mechanism is located upstream of a corresponding lifting conveying mechanism. The controller is communicatively connected to the scanning mechanism and the lifting and conveying mechanism, respectively.

[0018] In this embodiment, a barcode scanning mechanism scans the material to confirm the barcode information indicating that the material needs to be conveyed to the corresponding second conveyor. After the barcode scanning mechanism transmits the barcode information to the controller, the controller controls the corresponding lifting conveyor to transport the material to the designated second conveyor. Through the unified control of the barcode scanning mechanism and the controller, automated material sorting can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of material sorting.

[0019] In some embodiments, the sorting device further includes a first sensing component, a plurality of the first sensing components being disposed on the side of the first conveying mechanism along the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism, and each first sensing component being located upstream of a corresponding scanning mechanism; The controller is also communicatively connected to the first sensing component.

[0020] In this embodiment, by setting a first sensing component, the first sensing component can detect the material before it arrives at the scanning mechanism and send a first sensing signal to the controller. When the material arrives at the scanning mechanism, the controller can control the scanning mechanism to scan the material in a timely manner. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of the scanning mechanism and avoids the scanning mechanism being in a state of constant scanning.

[0021] In some embodiments, the sorting device further includes a second sensing component, and a plurality of second sensing components are disposed on the side of the first conveying mechanism; along the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism, a corresponding second sensing component is disposed upstream of each of the lifting conveying mechanisms; The controller is also communicatively connected to the second sensing component.

[0022] In this embodiment, by setting a second sensing component, the second sensing component can sense the material in advance before it arrives at the corresponding lifting conveyor and send a second sensing signal to the controller. When the material arrives at the lifting conveyor and, according to the barcode scanning confirmation, the material needs to be transported to the corresponding second conveyor via the lifting conveyor, the controller can control the lifting conveyor to operate and transport the material to the corresponding second conveyor, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the lifting conveyor.

[0023] This embodiment also provides a fruit and vegetable sorting machine, including the sorting device described above. The fruit and vegetable sorting machine of this embodiment also has the advantages described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, in the sorting device of this invention, the first conveying mechanism is used to transport materials, and the upstream of the second conveying mechanism is located to the side of the first conveying mechanism. When the first conveying mechanism transports materials to the lifting conveying mechanism, the lifting component can lift the conveying component to connect with the corresponding second conveying mechanism, and then the material is transported to the second conveying mechanism through the conveying component, thereby sorting the material onto the second conveying mechanism. When the first conveying mechanism transports materials to the lifting conveying mechanism, and it is not necessary to sort the material onto the second conveying mechanism, the lifting conveying mechanism can selectively not lift the material, and the first conveying mechanism continues to transport the material downstream. By setting up a lifting component and a conveying component, with the conveying component mounted on the lifting component, there is no need for additional installation cabinets, saving costs and space. In addition, when the first conveying mechanism transports materials to the lifting conveying mechanism, it can accurately lift the materials without errors, thus avoiding sorting mistakes. Furthermore, due to the short lifting stroke of the lifting component, sorting efficiency can also be improved. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this application provides a sorting device 100, which includes a first conveying mechanism 10 and at least one lifting conveying mechanism 20; Each lifting and conveying mechanism 20 includes a lifting component 22 and a conveying component 24, with the conveying component 24 mounted on the lifting component 22; After the first conveying mechanism 10 conveys the material to the conveying component 24, the lifting component 22 can drive the conveying component 24 to rise so that the conveying component 24 can dock with the corresponding second conveying mechanism 200 and the material can be conveyed to the corresponding second conveying mechanism 200.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 10 is used to convey materials, and the upstream of the second conveying mechanism 200 is located to the side of the first conveying mechanism 10. When the first conveying mechanism 10 conveys materials to the lifting conveying mechanism 20, the lifting component 22 can lift the conveying component 24, and then convey the materials to the second conveying mechanism 200 through the conveying component 24, thereby sorting the materials onto the second conveying mechanism 200. When the first conveying mechanism 10 conveys materials to the lifting conveying mechanism 20, and it is not necessary to sort the materials onto the second conveying mechanism 200, the lifting conveying mechanism 20 can selectively not lift the materials, and the first conveying mechanism 10 continues to convey the materials downstream. By setting up the lifting component 22 and the conveying component 24, with the conveying component 24 mounted on the lifting component 22, there is no need to set up additional installation cabinets, saving costs and space. In addition, when the first conveying mechanism 100 conveys materials to the lifting conveying mechanism 20, it can accurately lift the materials without errors, thus avoiding sorting errors. Furthermore, the lifting stroke of the lifting component 22 is relatively short, which can also improve sorting efficiency.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, Figure 2 The direction indicated by the hollow arrow is the transmission direction of the first conveying mechanism 10. The number of lifting conveying mechanisms 20 can be multiple or one, and the number of lifting conveying mechanisms 20 is equal to and corresponds one-to-one with the number of second conveying mechanisms 200. Each second conveying mechanism 200 sorts and conveys one type of material through a lifting conveying mechanism 20. The material can be a cardboard box, a boxed package of fruits and vegetables, or one of the following: fruits and vegetables. The first conveying mechanism 10 and the second conveying mechanism 200 can be belt conveyors, chain conveyors, etc. The belt conveyor includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a belt, and a motor. The belt is fitted onto the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the motor is connected to the driving wheel to drive its rotation. The driving wheel drives the belt to run and the driven wheel to rotate; the belt is used to convey materials.

[0033] In other embodiments, it will be understood that the lifting and conveying mechanism 20 may also employ other structures. For example, the lifting assembly 22 may be located to the side or below the first conveying mechanism 10, and all or part of the conveying assembly 24 may be embedded in the first conveying mechanism 10.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the height of the top surface of the conveying component 24 is not higher than the top surface of the first conveying mechanism 10.

[0035] Please refer to the above as well. Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the first conveying mechanism 10 includes a first mounting frame 12 and at least three conveyor belt assemblies 14 arranged side by side, with a preset gap 142 formed between any two adjacent conveyor belt assemblies 14; Each conveyor belt assembly 14 and lifting assembly 22 is mounted on the first mounting frame 12; The conveying assembly 24 includes a second mounting frame 242, a drive module (not shown in the figure), and at least two transmission components 244. The lifting assembly 22 is drivenly connected to the second mounting frame 242 to drive the second mounting frame 242 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. The drive module and the transmission components 244 are mounted on the second mounting frame 242 and are drivenly connected to drive each transmission component 244 to rotate. The transmission components 244 are arranged side by side, and the position of each transmission component 244 corresponds to the position of a corresponding preset gap 142.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first mounting frame 12 is used to mount the conveyor belt assembly 14 and the lifting assembly 22. The second mounting frame 242 is used to mount the drive module and the transmission component 244. The second mounting frame 242 is driven to move vertically up and down by the lifting assembly 22, thereby driving the transmission component 244 and the drive module to move vertically up and down. The conveyor belt assemblies 14 arranged side by side can form a preset gap 142, which can accommodate the transmission component 244. At least two transmission components 244 can effectively support the material and convey the material to the second conveying mechanism 200.

[0037] The position of each transmission component 244 corresponds to the position of the corresponding preset gap 142. This means that when the conveying assembly 24 does not drive the second mounting frame 242 and the transmission component 244 to rise, the height of the transmission component 244 is not higher than the height of the conveyor belt assembly 14. That is, the transmission component 244 can be located in the preset gap 142, or the transmission component 244 can be located below the conveyor belt assembly 14.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, each conveyor belt assembly 14 includes a driving pulley, a driven pulley, a belt, and a motor. The belt is fitted onto the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The motor is connected to the driving pulley via a transmission to drive the driving pulley to rotate. The driving pulley drives the belt to run and the driven pulley to rotate. A preset gap 142 is formed between each belt, and all belts together support and convey materials.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the first conveying mechanism 10 further includes a drive shaft, with each drive wheel mounted on the same drive shaft and connected to it via a motor, thereby driving the multiple drive wheels to rotate.

[0042] In this embodiment, the drive module can be a motor, which is connected to at least one transmission roller to drive the transmission roller to rotate. In other embodiments, it will be understood that the first conveying mechanism 10 and the conveying assembly 24 may also have other implementations. For example, the first conveying mechanism 10 includes an upstream section and a downstream section, with a preset gap 142 formed between the upstream and downstream sections, and the conveying assembly 24 located in the preset gap 142.

[0043] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 22 includes a telescopic drive element 224, which is disposed on the first mounting frame 12. The telescopic drive element 224 is tractively connected to the second mounting frame 242 to drive the second mounting frame 242 to rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the telescopic drive element 224 drives the second mounting bracket 242 to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby driving the two transmission components 244 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

The upper end of the guide post 226 is connected to the bottom end of the second mounting bracket 242, and the lower end of the guide post 226 is movably inserted into the buffer sleeve 228.

[0048] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the guide post 226 and the buffer sleeve 228, the second mounting bracket 242 and the transmission component 244 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction under the drive of the telescopic drive element 224, thereby improving the accuracy of the transmission component 244 in the vertical direction and avoiding deviation during its raising and lowering.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, there are four guide posts 226 and four buffer sleeves 228. The four buffer sleeves 228 are respectively mounted on the third mounting bracket 222 and arranged vertically. The lower end of each guide post 226 is movably inserted into a corresponding buffer sleeve 228. A telescopic drive element 224 is mounted in the middle of the third mounting bracket 222, and the telescopic end of the telescopic drive element 224 is connected to the bottom end of the second mounting bracket 242.

Correspondingly, one end of each of the four buffer sleeves 228 is connected to the bottom end of the second mounting bracket 242, and the four buffer sleeves 228 are respectively fitted onto the corresponding guide posts 226.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the third mounting bracket 222 may be omitted, the telescopic drive element 224 may be directly mounted on the first mounting bracket 12, and the four buffer sleeves 228 may be respectively mounted on the first mounting bracket 12.

[0051] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 24 further includes a drive wheel 246, a first drive belt 247, and a second drive belt 248. The drive wheel 246 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting bracket 242 and is located below the drive member 244. Each drive member 244 and the drive wheel 246 located below it are connected by the first drive belt 247, and any two adjacent drive wheels 246 are connected by the second drive belt 248.

[0052] In this embodiment, the transmission component 244 and the transmission wheel 246 are connected by a first transmission belt 247, and any two adjacent transmission wheels 246 are connected by a second transmission belt 248. By setting the transmission wheel 246, the first transmission belt 247, and the second transmission belt 248, interference between the transmission structure of the transmission component 244 and the conveyor belt assembly 14 is avoided, thus achieving alignment avoidance.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, one end of each first transmission belt 247 is fitted onto the end of a corresponding transmission member 244, i.e., the end of the transmission member 244 is a wheel-shaped structure, one end of the first transmission belt 247 is fitted onto this wheel-shaped structure, and the other end of the first transmission belt 247 is fitted onto the corresponding transmission wheel 246.

Each barcode scanning mechanism 30 is located upstream of a corresponding lifting conveying mechanism 20. The controller is connected to the barcode scanning mechanism 30 and the lifting and conveying mechanism 20 respectively.

[0055] In this embodiment, the barcode scanning mechanism 30 scans the material and reads the corresponding barcode information to determine whether the material needs to be conveyed to the corresponding second conveying mechanism 200. After the barcode scanning mechanism 30 transmits the barcode information to the controller, the controller controls the corresponding lifting conveyor 20 to move, conveying the material to the designated second conveying mechanism 200. Through the unified control of the barcode scanning mechanism 30 and the controller, automated material sorting can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of material sorting.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the controller can be a PLC. The material has a barcode or QR code. For example, a carton has a barcode or QR code. The scanning mechanism 30 scans the barcode or QR code to obtain information such as the carton's model number, thereby determining which second conveyor 200 to which the carton should be conveyed and driving the corresponding lifting conveyor 20 to operate.

The lifting assembly 22 is drivenly connected to the second mounting frame 242 to drive the second mounting frame 242 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. The drive module and the transmission components 244 are mounted on the second mounting frame 242 and are drivenly connected to drive each transmission component 244 to rotate. The transmission components 244 are arranged side by side, and the position of each transmission component 244 corresponds to the position of the corresponding preset gap 142.
