The rotating weighing pan assembly 1 has several sorting positions corresponding to sorting containers. It can rotate to the corresponding sorting position. The rotating weighing pan assembly 1 is used to hold items to be sorted and collect weight information. The display control assembly 2 receives the weight information and is used to control the rotating weighing pan assembly 1 to move to the corresponding sorting position.

[0025] Preferably, the mating component 4 includes a base 41, which is detachably disposed at the lower end of the main rod 3.

[0026] Preferably, the mating component 4 further includes a counterweight base plate 42, the counterweight base plate 42 being made of metal or magnet, the base 41 being made of magnet, and the base 41 being attached to the upper surface of the counterweight base plate 42.

[0027] Preferably, the main rod 3 is a telescopic rod.

[0028] Preferably, the display control component 2 includes a housing 21, a main board 22, and a display screen 23 mounted on the housing 21. The display screen 23 displays weight information and sorting information. The rotating weighing pan component 1 includes a first servo motor 11, a second servo motor 12, a weight sensor 13, a first bracket 14, a second bracket 15, and a fruit and vegetable tray 16. The main board 22 and the first servo motor 11 are mounted inside the housing 21. The main board 22 is electrically connected to the first servo motor 11, the second servo motor 12, the weight sensor 13, and the display screen 23. The second servo motor 12 is mounted on the first bracket 14. The first servo motor 11 is connected to the first bracket 14 and pushes the first bracket 14 to rotate horizontally. The weight sensor 13 is mounted between the lower surface of the fruit and vegetable tray 16 and the second bracket 15 and supports the fruit and vegetable tray 16. The second servo motor 12 is connected to the second bracket 15 and pushes the second bracket 15 to flip vertically. Example 2

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the mating component 4 includes a clamping plate 43 disposed on the main rod 3 and an adjusting rod 44 that cooperates with the clamping plate 43. The clamping plate 43 has a clamping cavity 431. The adjusting rod 44 is movably inserted through the clamping plate 43 and cooperates with the clamping cavity 431 to fasten the clamping plate 43 to the placement surface.

[0030] Preferably, one or more adjusting rods 44 are provided, and the adjusting rods 44 are threadedly engaged with the clamping plate 43.

[0031] Preferably, the adjusting rod 44 is provided with a support foot 441 located in the clamping cavity 431, and the adjusting rod 44 is provided with a finger release block 442 located outside the clamping plate 43.

[0032] Specifically, the motherboard 22 is fixed to the side wall of the housing 21. The weight sensor 13 has a connecting harness that passes through the housing 21 and is electrically connected to the motherboard 22. The second bracket 15 is U-shaped. The fruit and vegetable tray 16 and the weight sensor 13 are fixed from top to bottom on the upper surface of the second bracket 15. The two sides of the second bracket 15 are clamped to the two sides of the second servo motor 12, and the output shaft of the second servo motor 12 is connected to the lower end of the second bracket 15. The second servo motor 12 drives the second bracket 15 to rotate along the height direction with the lower end of the second bracket 15 as the fulcrum. The second servo motor 12 is fixed on the first bracket 14. The first bracket 14 is placed on the upper surface of the housing 21 and rotates horizontally through the first servo motor 11.

[0033] The mainboard 22 can be set with multiple preset weight ranges. After receiving the weight information, the mainboard 22 compares the weight information with the preset weight ranges and controls the first servo motor 11 and the second servo motor 12 to rotate according to the comparison result. This causes the fruit and vegetable tray 16 to rotate to the corresponding angle and then flip over, so that the fruits and vegetables in the fruit and vegetable tray 16 are delivered to the corresponding sorting container. When the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are removed from the fruit and vegetable tray 16, the weight sensor 13 transmits the weight of the fruit and vegetable tray 16 to the mainboard 22. The mainboard 22 then controls the second servo motor 12 to rotate so that the fruit and vegetable tray 16 is reset, and sorting can continue.

[0034] The placement surface can be a tabletop, countertop, or floor for placing the sorting device, or it can be the wall surface of the sorting container. The sorting container can be any of the sorting baskets, sorting boxes, or sorting barrels. The number of sorting containers can be increased or decreased according to the sorting conditions. In this embodiment, the number of sorting containers is four.

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, during sorting, the user can place the sorting basket, sorting box, or sorting bucket at the four corners of the sorting device and extend the main rod 3 to a suitable height. When the user places the fruits and vegetables to be sorted on the fruit and vegetable tray 16, the weight sensor 13 can weigh the fruits and vegetables to be sorted on the fruit and vegetable tray 16. The main board 22 controls the first servo motor 11 and the second servo motor 12 to rotate according to the current weight of the fruits and vegetables to be sorted, thereby putting the fruits and vegetables to be sorted into the corresponding sorting container. When the fruits and vegetables to be sorted are removed from the fruit and vegetable tray 16, the main board 22 controls the second servo motor 12 to rotate so that the fruit and vegetable tray 16 is reset, and then the sorting continues.

[0036] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the user can also clamp the sorting device onto the sorting container, table, or countertop using the clamping plate 43 and the adjusting rod 44, thus making it suitable for sorting small fruits and vegetables such as strawberries and blueberries. In this embodiment, the adjusting rod 44 is a butterfly-shaped hand-tightening screw with a flared mouth.

[0037] The sorting device features digital display and integrated weighing and sorting functions. It is compact, low-cost, easy to produce and carry, and can be adapted to different surfaces through fitting part 4. It can meet the needs of immediate sorting after temporary harvesting in the field or centralized sorting in small warehouses, making the sorting device highly versatile.

[0038] 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.
