Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural and sideline product processing technology, specifically to a sorting device for crisp red plums. Background Technology

[0002] Crisp Red Plum (also known as Crisp-skinned Plum or Red Crisp Plum) is a common plum variety, favored by the market for its thin skin and crisp, tender flesh. Harvesting and sorting Crisp Red Plums is a meticulous process, requiring that the fruit's quality, size, ripeness, and other factors meet specific standards.

[0003] When using traditional equipment, if there is no initial rinsing and cleaning function, more dirt and impurities may adhere to the surface of the fruit, making subsequent cleaning more difficult, and impurities and pesticide residues may not be completely removed.

[0004] Secondly, without a water circulation function, fresh water needs to be replaced every time it is cleaned, resulting in a large waste of water resources, especially in arid areas, which may bring environmental pressure and increased costs.

[0005] Finally, without features to prevent bumps and knocks, the fruit may be damaged during collection due to falling or collisions with other fruits or equipment. This damage is especially severe for crisp-skinned fruits, potentially leading to cracked skin, damaged flesh, or even premature rotting. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1: Please see Figures 1-5The crisp red plum sorting equipment includes a main body 1, a flushing mechanism, a circulation mechanism, and a screening mechanism. The flushing mechanism includes a spraying component 2 and a slow-release component 3. The spraying component 2 is fixedly installed on the main body 1, and the slow-release component 3 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1. A guide plate 4 is provided inside the main body 1, and flow holes 5 are provided on the guide plate 4. The flow holes 5 are distributed in a linear array on the guide plate 4. The circulation mechanism includes a water pump 6 and a water tank 7. The water tank 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the main body 1, and the water pump 6 is fixedly installed on the water tank 7. One end of the water pump 6 is fixedly connected to the spraying component 2. A filter component 8 and a first positioning component 9 are installed on the water tank 7. The filter component 8 is slidably connected to the water tank 7 and cooperates with the first positioning component 9. The first positioning component 9 is installed on the water tank 7 and slidably connected to the water tank 7.

[0022] In this embodiment, the rinsing mechanism includes a spraying component 2 and a release component 3. In use, plums can be poured into the feed box 13 of the main body 1. Under the action of the release component 3, the plums fall directly onto the guide plate 4. The spraying component 2 then sprays water to rinse the plums. The water falls onto the guide plate 4 under the action of the baffle 25. Under the action of the flow hole 5 of the guide plate 4, the water flows directly to the drain outlet 14. Under the action of gravity, the water enters the water tank 7 and falls into the filter element 8, thus filtering the impurities in the water.

[0023] In this embodiment, the circulation mechanism includes a water pump 6 and a water tank 7. During use, the water pump 6 installed on the water tank 7 starts to operate and draw water from the bottom of the water tank 7. The water suction pipe 16 transmits the water flow to the spray pipe 15 and sprays it out in the spraying component 2. In addition, after the impurities are filtered in the filter element 8, the first positioning component 9 can be pulled directly, so that the first positioning component 9 can slide on the water tank 7 and directly compress the first spring 18, so that the first positioning component 9 disengages from the first positioning hole 17 on the filter element 8 and directly pulls out the filter element 8 to remove the impurities inside the filter element 8, so that the water flow can circulate easily.

[0024] In this embodiment, the screening mechanism includes a collection component 10 and a screening plate 11. During use, the plums washed by the water flow slide directly on the screening plate 11 under the action of gravity, and fall into the collection component 10 under the action of the screening holes 20. The plums first fall onto the buffer plate 23 on the collection component 10, and under the action of the third spring 24, the buffer plate 23 can steadily support the plums. As the number of plums increases, it slowly descends. By observing the degree of descent of the buffer plate 23, the collection component 10 can be removed to collect the plums. Different screening plates 11 can be replaced for plums of different sizes. First, the second positioning component 12 is pulled, so that the second spring 22 in the mounting groove 21 is stretched, and the second positioning component 12 directly disengages from the second positioning hole 19 on the screening plate 11, so that the screening plate 11 can be removed from the main body 1.

[0025] Example 2: In summary, during use, plums can first be poured into the feed box 13 of the main body 1. Under the action of the slow-release component 3, the plums fall directly onto the guide plate 4. The spraying component 2 then sprays water to rinse the plums. The water falls onto the guide plate 4 under the action of the baffle 25. Through the flow holes 5 of the guide plate 4, the water flows directly to the drain outlet 14 and, under gravity, enters the water tank 7 and falls into the filter element 8, thus removing impurities from the water flow. When the filtration system is about to start operating, sufficient water is poured into the water tank 7. Then, the water pump 6 installed on the water tank 7 begins to operate, drawing water from the bottom of the tank. The suction pipe 16 transmits the water flow to the spray pipe 15, where it is sprayed out through the spray nozzle 2. Meanwhile, after the impurities have been filtered out in the filter element 8, the first positioning element 9 can be pulled, allowing it to slide on the water tank 7 and directly compressing the first spring 18, causing the first positioning element 9 to disengage from the filter element 8. The first positioning hole 17 allows the filter element 8 to be pulled out directly to remove impurities inside, facilitating water circulation. After being rinsed, the plums are moist, making them easier to move and reducing damage from friction during sieving. The plums, washed by the water flow, slide directly on the sieving plate 11 under gravity and fall into the collection member 10 through the sieving holes 20. The plums first land on the buffer plate 23 on the collection member 10, and then... (The sentence is incomplete and requires further context to translate accurately.) Under the action of 4, the buffer plate 23 can steadily support the plums and slowly descend as the number of plums increases. By observing the degree of descent of the buffer plate 23 from the outside, the collection part 10 can be taken out to collect the plums. Different screening plates 11 can be replaced for plums of different sizes. First, pull the second positioning part 12 to stretch the second spring 22 in the mounting groove 21, and the second positioning part 12 directly disengages from the second positioning hole 19 on the screening plate 11, so that the screening plate 11 can be removed from the main body 1.

For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model.
