As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the posture adjustment device 100 of the present application includes: channel means 101 and damping fingers 102.

Wherein the channel means 101 forms at least one drop channel 101a through which the fruit drops. A number of damping fingers 102 are arranged to apply a damping action in a contacting manner to fruit in the drop channel 101a to enable the fruit to be adjusted to a particular attitude in at least a tumbling manner as the channel arrangement 101 drops. Fruits such as grapefruit are adjusted in a random posture to fall to the bottom with the tip facing upward. The fruit posture is adjusted by the principle that the fruit has different damping feedbacks to make the fruit fall with the gravity center as a stable posture.

As a more specific solution, the passage means 101 is constructed as a passage tube, the inner wall of which encloses the drop passage 101a. A plurality of damping flexible fingers 102 are at least partially made of an elastic material and fixedly mounted to the channel tube, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the damping flexible fingers 102 are at least partially disposed in the drop fruit channel 101a and at least two damping flexible fingers 102 are disposed at different positions or/and have different extending directions.

Specifically, a plurality of damping flexible fingers 102 are dispersedly disposed at different positions of the fruit falling channel 101a in the falling direction so that the fruit is subjected to a falling difference damping action during the falling of the fruit falling channel 101a.

Specifically, the ratio of the distance L1 of the two damping flexible fingers 102 in the falling direction to the length L2 of the fruit drop channel 101a in the falling direction is in a range of 0.17 to 0.25, more preferably in a range of 0.2 to 0.24, and most preferably in a range of 0.235. The ratio is designed to make the damping fingers 102 dense enough to accomplish the fruit posture adjustment.

Specifically, the damping flexible fingers 102 are dispersedly disposed at different positions of the fruit dropping channel 101a in the circumferential direction so that the fruit is subjected to a peripheral differential damping action during the dropping of the fruit dropping channel 101a.

As a preferred scheme, the damping flexible fingers 102 at different heights can be divided into a plurality of layers, and each layer of damping flexible fingers 102 is arranged at a different position relative to the damping flexible fingers 102 at another layer, so that when fruits fall down, the fruits receive damping at different circumferential positions at different heights, and posture adjustment in the circumferential direction is realized.

Preferably, the damping flexible finger 102 is configured to have a revolving structure, such as a regular revolving body like a cone, a cylinder, or other irregular revolving bodies with a curve as a generatrix.

As a further preferred solution, the damping flexible finger 102 is configured to have at least one section of a cylindrical surface. This may better ensure the isotropic damping of the flexible fingers 102.

Specifically, the ratio of the diameter of the cylindrical surface of the damping flexible finger 102 to the length of the fruit dropping channel 101a in the dropping direction is in a range of 0.065 to 0.08, more preferably in a range of 0.07 to 0.075, and most preferably in a range of 0.078.

Specifically, the drop fruit passage 101a is configured as a rotation body space having the central axis 101b as an axis.

Specifically, the damping flexible fingers 102 extend in the radial direction of a circle having a point on the central axis 101b as the center. This maximizes the damping effect of the damping fingers 102 in space. Damping flexible fingers 102 are at least partially arranged outside the channel device 101 through the channel device 101, i.e. the damping flexible fingers 102 are at least partially arranged outside the channel tube, so that the damping flexible fingers 102 can be more stably fixed.

As a further preferred solution, the channel tube constituting the channel means 101 has a central axis 101b, and a plurality of damping flexible fingers 102 arranged in the axial direction are provided at the same circumferential position with respect to the central axis 101b. The distance between the plurality of damping flexible fingers 102 arranged along the axial direction ranges from 100mm to 130mm, further preferably ranges from 115 mm to 125 mm, and a preferred value is 120mm.

Similarly, a plurality of damping flexible fingers with different circumferential positions are arranged at the same axial position relative to the central axis. The radian difference alpha between the plurality of damping flexible fingers at the same axial position ranges from 45 degrees to 65 degrees, and preferably ranges from 60 degrees.

Specifically, the space in the drop fruit channel 101a that is not stopped by the damping flexible finger 102 is defined as a through space 100a, and the ratio of the projected area of the through space 100a to the projected area of the drop fruit channel 101a in the projection plane perpendicular to the central axis 101b has a value in the range of 0.085 to 0.1, more preferably in the range of 0.09 to 0.1, and still more preferably in the range of 0.099.

By adopting the scheme, the effect that the damping flexible finger can play can be further ensured.

Preferably, the bending structures 1011 are disposed at two ends of the channel device 101, the bending structures 011 can effectively increase the strength of the channel device 101, and reduce the size of the fruit dropping channel 101a, and the fruit dropping channel 101a suitable for different fruits can be constructed by controlling the size of the bending structures 1011.

The foregoing description is only exemplary of the preferred embodiments of the disclosure and is illustrative of the principles of the technology employed. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the scope of the invention in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the specific combinations of the above-mentioned features, and other embodiments in which the above-mentioned features or their equivalents are combined arbitrarily without departing from the spirit of the invention are also encompassed.
