The embodiment of the application provides a sorting machine, and the sorting machine is used for sorting fruits, vegetables or other food, wherein, under the condition that the sorting machine sorts the fruits, the sorting machine can sort the fruits according to the color, the size or the weight of the fruits so as to divide a plurality of fruits into a plurality of types. Hereinafter, in the embodiments of the present application, a fruit sorting machine will be described as an example of a sorting machine.
Wherein, at the in-process that the sorter sorted fruit, need transmit fruit to the detection module of sorter in proper order to detect fruit through detection module, in order to make things convenient for the sorting. Wherein, at the in-process of conveying fruit, in order to prevent that fruit from shifting, adopt fruit cup 11 to hold fruit, and accomplish the transmission to fruit through the mode of conveying fruit cup 11.
In the prior art, in the fruit cup 11 conveying process, the fruit cups 11 need to be moved from a feeding conveyor belt to a chain plate for conveying the fruit cups 11, but the speed difference exists between the belt and the chain plate, so that the fruit cups 11 are usually unevenly arranged, and the detection and sorting are difficult; of course, in the case of screw conveyance, the problem of uneven arrangement of the fruit cups 11 can be improved to some extent, but the screw risks chucking.
In order to improve the technical problem, the fruit cup arrangement device 10 and the sorting machine using the fruit cup arrangement device 10 are provided. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the cup arranging apparatus 10 includes a feeding assembly 100, a starwheel assembly 400, an output assembly 200, and a driving device 300. The feeding assembly 100 is configured to deliver fruit cups 11. The output assembly 200 is arranged close to the feeding assembly 100, and the output assembly 200 is configured to receive the fruit cups 11 conveyed by the feeding assembly 100 so as to output the fruit cups 11 to a specified position; wherein, the output assembly 200 can convey the fruit cup 11 to the detection module, so as to facilitate the fruit in the fruit cup 11 to be detected. The star wheel assembly 400 comprises a star wheel 410 and a transmission assembly 420, the outer periphery of the star wheel 410 is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 411 which are arranged at equal intervals, the star wheel 410 is correspondingly arranged between the feeding assembly 100 and the output assembly 200, and the clamping grooves 411 are configured to accommodate fruit cups 11 which are transmitted from the feeding assembly 100 to the output assembly 200; the drive assembly 420 is drivingly connected to the star wheel 410. Both drive assembly 420 and output assembly 200 are coupled to drive device 300, and drive device 300 is configured to simultaneously drive assembly 420 and output assembly 200.
Wherein the feeding assembly 100 can convey a plurality of fruit cups 11 towards the output assembly 200. In the case of the operation of the driving device 300, the output assembly 200 and the star wheel 410 operate synchronously, and the plurality of engaging grooves 411 on the outer periphery of the star wheel 410 are enabled to sequentially receive the fruit cups 11, and since the fruit cups 11 are received by the plurality of engaging grooves 411 on the outer periphery of the star wheel 410, and the fruit cups 11 are conveyed by the rotation of the star wheel 410, the occurrence of the chuck condition can be prevented. In addition, due to the synchronous operation of the star wheel 410 and the output assembly 200, when the plurality of fruit cups 11 accommodated in the plurality of slots 411 on the star wheel 410 are sequentially moved to the output assembly 200, the fruit cups 11 can be ensured to be uniformly arranged on the output assembly 200, in other words, after the star wheel 410 adjusts the positions of the plurality of fruit cups 11, the plurality of fruit cups 11 can be ensured to be equally spaced on the output assembly 200. Therefore, the fruit cup arrangement device 10 can solve the technical problems that the fruit cups 11 are not uniformly arranged and have chuck risks in the prior art.
It should be noted that, during the transportation of the fruit cup 11, the moving path of the fruit cup 11 is roughly as follows: the fruit cup 11 is correspondingly moved into one of the clamping grooves 411 through the conveying of the feeding assembly 100, and the clamping groove 411 can adjust the position of the fruit cup 11 along with the rotation of the star wheel 410; under the combined action of the feeding assembly 100 and the star wheel 410, the fruit cup 11 moves to the output assembly 200, and due to the rotation action of the star wheel 410, the fruit cup 11 gradually comes out of the clamping groove 411, and under the condition that the fruit cup 11 completely moves to the output assembly 200, the fruit cup 11 comes out of the clamping groove 411. After the fruit cup 11 is released from the slot 411, the output assembly 200 delivers the fruit cup 11 to the detection module for detection. It should be noted that, due to the synchronous operation of the star wheel 410 and the output assembly 200, when the fruit cups 11 in the plurality of slots 411 are sequentially separated from the slots 411 and moved to the output assembly 200, the purpose of arranging the plurality of fruit cups 11 at equal intervals, in other words, the purpose of uniformly distributing the plurality of fruit cups 11 on the output assembly 200, can be achieved.
Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the star wheel 410 is higher than the feeding assembly 100, and the slot 411 is opened in a radial direction of the star wheel 410. The star wheel 410 is higher than the feeding assembly 100, that is, under the condition that the feeding assembly 100, the star wheel assembly 400 and the output assembly 200 are in normal operation, the star wheel 410 is higher than the feeding assembly 100, so that the plurality of clamping grooves 411 on the outer periphery of the star wheel 410 can conveniently accommodate the fruit cups 11 on the feeding assembly 100.
Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the loading assembly 100 transports the fruit cups 11 along a predetermined direction, and the end of the loading assembly 100 is disposed corresponding to the front end of the output assembly 200, so that the front end of the output assembly 200 can receive the fruit cups 11 transported by the loading assembly 100. Also, the output assembly 200 also delivers the fruit cups 11 in the preset direction. The star wheel 410 is correspondingly disposed between the feeding assembly 100 and the output assembly 200, and an outer peripheral portion of the star wheel 410 is located right above the feeding assembly 100 so as to facilitate the engaging groove 411 on the outer periphery of the star wheel 410 to receive the fruit cup 11. During the rotation of the star wheel 410, the instantaneous movement direction of the outer periphery of the portion of the star wheel 410 located at the middle position of the feeding assembly 100 and the output assembly 200 is also the preset direction, in other words, during the rotation of the star wheel 410, the star wheel 410 does not generate a force perpendicular to the preset direction on the fruit cups 11, and the star wheel 410 only adjusts the positions of the fruit cups 11 in the preset direction, so that the plurality of fruit cups 11 can be uniformly distributed on the output assembly 200. Based on this, the plurality of clamping grooves 411 are formed in the outer periphery of the star wheel 410 in the radial direction, so that the star wheel 410 can be prevented from applying a force to the fruit cup 11 in a direction perpendicular to the preset direction, and stable conveying of the fruit cup 11 is ensured.
In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, a limiting portion 412 is formed between two adjacent slots 411, and the limiting portion 412 protrudes in a radial direction of the star wheel 410. Optionally, the forming manner of the limiting portion 412 and the groove may also be regarded as that a plurality of slots 411 with equal intervals are formed by cutting off the outer periphery of the circular wheel disc structure, and the limiting portion 412 is formed between any two adjacent slots 411 while the slots 411 are formed. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the recess and the stopper 412 may be formed as follows: a plurality of limiting parts 412 are arranged on the outer periphery of the wheel disc at equal intervals, and a clamping groove 411 is formed between any two limiting parts 412 when the limiting parts 412 are arranged.
In order to facilitate the fruit cup 11 to enter or move out of the slot 411, optionally, the end of the limiting part 412 is rotatably provided with a rolling part 413. Here, the rotation plane of the rolling portion 413 is the same as the rotation plane of the star wheel 410. In other words, in the present embodiment, under normal operation of the fruit cup arrangement 10, the rotation plane of the star wheel 410 is substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, and correspondingly, the rotation plane of the rolling portion 413 is also substantially parallel to the horizontal plane. Under the condition that the feeding assembly 100 conveys the fruit cup 11 to the star wheel 410, the fruit cup 11 may abut against the limiting portion 412, and under the condition, the rotation of the rolling portion 413 can be used for urging the fruit cup 11 to enter the clamping groove 411, so that the limiting portion 412 is prevented from pushing the fruit cup 11 to move, and the fruit cup 11 cannot enter the clamping groove 411, therefore, the fruit cup 11 can be ensured to stably enter the clamping groove 411, the condition of the chuck can be prevented, and the fruit cup 11 is ensured to be stably conveyed.
Alternatively, the rolling portion 413 may employ a bearing. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the rolling part 413 may be a universal wheel or a ball. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the end of the limiting portion 412 may also be an arc shape to prevent the limiting portion 412 from abutting against the fruit cup 11.
In some embodiments of the present application, to facilitate the engagement of the slot 411 with the fruit cup 11, the inner circumferential wall of the slot 411 is curved. It should be noted that the fruit cup 11 used in the sorting machine is substantially cylindrical, and therefore, the catching groove 411 may be provided in an arc shape to fit the shape of the fruit cup 11. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the slot 411 may also be provided in other shapes, for example, V-shaped, U-shaped, or form a polygon.
In addition, under the circumstances of the inner peripheral wall of draw-in groove 411 formed the arc, for the convenience fruit cup 11 gets into or deviate from draw-in groove 411, in some embodiments of this application, the radian of the arc inner peripheral wall of draw-in groove 411 is less than 180 to make draw-in groove 411 be the flaring form mostly, thereby make things convenient for fruit cup 11 to get into to inside the draw-in groove 411, simultaneously along with the rotation of star gear 410, also can make things convenient for fruit cup 11 to deviate from draw-in groove 411. Alternatively, the radian of the arc inner peripheral wall of the slot 411 may be 150 degrees, 135 degrees, 120 degrees, 105 degrees, 90 degrees, 85 degrees, 60 degrees, or the like.
The output assembly 200 comprises a conveying member 210, the output assembly 200 receives the fruit cups 11 conveyed by the feeding assembly 100 through the conveying member 210, and the conveying member 210 outputs the fruit cups 11 to a designated position.

It should be noted that the conveying element 210 is formed in a ring shape, and one end of the conveying element 210 is sleeved on the first driving element 310. Alternatively, the conveying member 210 may be a chain plate, and correspondingly, the first driving member 310 is disposed in a chain wheel structure, and the first driving member 310 and the conveying member 210 are engaged with each other to drive the conveying member 210 to move during the rotation of the first driving member 310 to convey the fruit cups 11. Correspondingly, the second driving member 320 is also provided as a chain wheel structure, and the second driving member 320 is coaxially provided with the first driving member 310, so that the first driving member 310 and the second driving member 320 rotate synchronously, which facilitates the synchronous driving of the transmission assembly 420.

In addition, a coupler can be used between the output end of the steering gear 421 and the star wheel 410 to realize power transmission, in other words, the output end of the steering gear 421 is in transmission connection with the star wheel 410 through the coupler, so that the steering gear 421 can transmit power to the star wheel 410 conveniently to drive the star wheel 410 to rotate stably.
In some embodiments of the present application, in order to ensure that the fruit cups 11 on the conveying member 210 are uniformly distributed, a plurality of partition plates 220 are further disposed on the conveying member 210, and the partition plates 220 are disposed at equal intervals. The conveying member 210 is divided into a plurality of placing stations 221 through a plurality of partition plates 220, and in the moving process of the conveying member 210 and the star wheel 410, the plurality of clamping grooves 411 respectively correspond to the plurality of placing stations 221, so that the fruit cups 11 which are separated from any one clamping groove 411 correspondingly enter one placing station 221, and therefore the uniform distribution of the plurality of fruit cups 11 is achieved. Moreover, during the movement, the fruit cup 11 can be prevented from being displaced to cause the position disorder of the fruit cup 11. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the provision of the partition plate may be eliminated.
It should be noted that the shaft coupling can also adjust the relative distance between the star wheel 410 and the plurality of placing stations 221, so as to facilitate the synchronization of the rotation of the star wheel 410 and the movement of the plurality of placing stations 221.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to convey the fruit cups 11 by the star wheel 410 to correspond to the placing stations 221, the case of placing one fruit cup 11 in each placing station 221 is described. Meanwhile, the first driving member 310 is taken as a driven wheel of the conveying member 210, and the second driving member 320 is taken as a driving wheel of the star wheel 410 for illustration; optionally, the input end of the steering gear 421 is further provided with a driven wheel of the star wheel 410, the second driving member 320 is in transmission connection with the driven wheel of the star wheel 410 through a transmission chain, and the driven wheel of the star wheel 410 is configured to transmit power to the steering gear 421, and then the steering gear 421 transmits the power to the star wheel 410.
In this case, each rotation of the star wheel 410, in other words, each rotation of the star wheel 410, causes one fruit cup 11 to take the same time from entering the slot 411 to exiting the slot 411 as the time for moving the placing station 221 of the transport element 210 by one station. Where n is the number of the slots 411, the angular velocity of the star wheel 410 can be represented as w1，w12 pi/(n × t), where pi is the circumferential ratio and can take a value of 3.14, and t represents the time taken for each revolution of the star 410. The angular velocity of the first driver 310 may be denoted as w2，w2Where v denotes the line speed of the transport element 210 and r denotes the radius of the first drive element 310. Meanwhile, the angular speed proportional relation between the star wheel 410 and the first driving member 310 is adjusted according to the reduction ratio of the steering device 421 and the transmission ratio of the first driving member 310 and the second driving member 320, so that the purpose that the time for rotating each lattice of the star wheel 410 is equal to the time for moving the placing station 221 on the conveying member 210 by one station is achieved.
Based on the above calculation, for example, in the case of fig. 2, the line speed v of the transport member 210 is 0.6096m/s, the distance p between the partition plates 220 on the transport member 210 is 203.2mm, and in other words, the width of the placing station 221Is 203.2 mm. It can be seen that the time t for moving the transfer member 210 such that the placing station 221 moves by one station is t1The number of the locking slots 411 of the star wheel 410 is 12, p/v is 0.33s, and the time taken for each rotation of the star wheel 410 should be 0.33s at the angular velocity w of the star wheel 410194.25rad/min, the number of teeth of the first drive member 310 may be 24 teeth, the radius 97mm, the angular velocity w of the first drive member 3102It can be 377rad/min, so the ratio between the angular speed of the star 410 and the angular speed of the first driver 310 is 4. On the basis, the reduction ratio of the steering gear 421 is 2, and on the basis, the purpose that the time for rotating each lattice of the star wheel 410 is equal to the time for moving one station by the placing station 221 on the conveying piece 210 can be achieved only by enabling the transmission ratio of the driving wheel and the driven wheel of the star wheel 410 to be 2; in other words, it is only necessary that the ratio of the number of teeth of the second drive member 320 to the number of teeth of the driven wheel of the star wheel 410 is 2.
Of course, the above values are provided only for ease of understanding, and do not limit the use of other values in other embodiments of the present application.
To facilitate the transfer of fruit cups 11 on the feeding assembly 100 to the output assembly 200, in some embodiments of the present application, the feeding assembly 100 has a first conveying surface 101 for conveying fruit cups 11; the output assembly 200 has a second conveying surface 201 for conveying the fruit cups 11; the first conveying surface 101 is higher than the second conveying surface 201. Due to the fact that the first conveying surface 101 is higher than the second conveying surface 201, when the feeding assembly 100 conveys the fruit cups 11 to the tail end, the fruit cups 11 can be prevented from abutting against the output assembly 200 to cause the situation that the fruit cups 11 cannot be conveyed to the output assembly 200, and due to the limiting effect of the star wheel 410, the problem of displacement and dislocation caused by the fact that the fruit cups 11 move from high to low can also be avoided, so that the conveying stability of the fruit cups 11 can be improved on the whole, and meanwhile, the fruit cups 11 can be guaranteed to be uniformly arranged.
The feeding assembly 100 comprises a conveying structure 110, a sensing device 120 and a stopping device 130. The transfer structure 110 is configured to transport the fruit cups 11; alternatively, the conveying structure 110 may adopt a roller conveying structure, that is, the conveying of the fruit cups 11 is realized by the rotation of a plurality of rollers; of course, the conveying structure 110 may also employ a conveyor belt. A barrier 130 is disposed on the conveying structure 110, and the barrier 130 is configured to selectively block or avoid fruit cups. The arresting device 130 may be driven by a driving cylinder, and the arresting device 130 may further include an arresting member (not shown) in driving engagement with the driving cylinder, and the driving cylinder may drive the arresting member to move, so that the arresting member moves to the conveying plane of the conveying structure 110 to arrest the fruit cups to stop the movement of the fruit cups, thereby preventing the fruit cups from being misaligned with the slots 411; alternatively, the blocking device 130 can be moved away from the fruit cup to facilitate the fruit cup being transported to the star wheel 410 and placed in the slot 411. In addition, the sensing device 120 is electrically connected to the blocking device 130, and the sensing device 120 is disposed at one side of the conveying structure 110, so as to be configured to detect the position of the fruit cup 11 on the conveying structure 110, and control the blocking device 130 to avoid the fruit cup according to the position of the fruit cup 11, so that the fruit cup 11 is conveyed into the clamping slot 411. In other words, the sensing device 120 can ensure that the positions of the fruit cups 11 correspond to the slots 411 of the star wheel 410, so that the corresponding fruit cups 11 can be conveyed into the slots 411 of the star wheel 410 by the conveying structure 110, thereby enabling the fruit cups 11 to be stably conveyed onto the output assembly 200, and simultaneously ensuring that a plurality of fruit cups 11 can be uniformly distributed on the output assembly 200. Alternatively, the sensing device 120 may employ a photoelectric switch or an infrared detection device.
In summary, the fruit cup arranging device 10 and the sorting machine provided in the embodiment of the present application can simultaneously drive the star wheel 410 and the output assembly 200 through the driving device 300 during the transportation of the fruit cups 11, so that the star wheel 410 and the output assembly 200 can operate synchronously. The fruit cups 11 are accommodated in the clamping grooves 411 on the outer periphery of the star wheel 410, so that the fruit cups 11 are conveyed under the condition that the star wheel 410 rotates, and the phenomenon of chucks can be prevented. Moreover, because the star wheel 410 and the output assembly 200 operate synchronously, when the plurality of fruit cups 11 accommodated in the plurality of slots 411 on the star wheel 410 move to the output assembly 200 in sequence, the fruit cups 11 can be ensured to be uniformly arranged on the output assembly 200, in other words, after the star wheel 410 adjusts the positions of the plurality of fruit cups 11, the plurality of fruit cups 11 can be ensured to be placed on the output assembly 200 at equal intervals. Therefore, the fruit cup arrangement device 10 provided by the invention can solve the technical problems that the fruit cups 11 in the prior art are not uniformly arranged and have chuck risks.
The above description is only for the specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the appended claims.
