DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a fruit sorting device for sorting fruits such as potatoes and mandarin oranges, and can be used in fruit sorting facilities and the like.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the case of sorting equipment for potatoes, mandarin oranges, etc., the process of manually sorting by sorting workers is often required. If you try to make it shorter, when transferring and sorting a large amount of fruit, it will be difficult to perform sufficient sorting within one sorting stroke length.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention provides a fruit feeding device (1) that overturns a container to be fed and transfers out the fruits inside the container, and a cleaning device (2) that receives and cleans the transferred fruits while transferring them. , a main sorting conveyor (3) which artificially undergoes main sorting while receiving and transporting the cleaned fruits;
A sub-sorting conveyor (4) that receives the fruits that have been main-sorted in 3), and while transferring them, sub-sorts them artificially and distributes them into multiple rows.
(5) A sorting conveyor (6) that transfers the sorted fruits one by one and arranged, and a sorting device (7) that separates the sorted fruits while receiving and transferring them are arranged in this order. The structure of the fruit sorting device is as follows.

Functions and Effects of the Invention When a container containing fruits is overturned in the fruit supply device (1) and fruits are supplied, the fruits are disposed of in the cleaning device (1).
2), are cleaned, and are manually sorted while being transferred to the main sorting conveyor (3), and the main sorted fruits are transferred to the sub-sorting conveyors (4) and (5) for each sorting. Here, the sub-sorted fruits are artificially sub-sorted again and then distributed into multiple rows on the sorting conveyor (6), where each sub-sorted fruit is transferred while being lined up one by one, and then transferred to the degenerate sorting device (7). The fruits that are artificially subjected to main sorting and sub-sorting are transferred from the sorting conveyor (3) to the sub-sorting conveyor (4).
) and (5), the width of each sorting transfer can be narrowed, making it especially easy to perform sub-sorting, and continuing from this sub-sorting conveyor (4) and (5). It is easy to carry out alignment transfer when feeding to the alignment conveyor (7), the alignment of the particles on the alignment conveyor (6) is accurate, and the sorting action in the degeneracy sorting device (7) can be maintained accurately.

Embodiment In the illustrated example, the main sorting conveyor (3) is a system in which rotating rolls are connected in series by an endless checker 7 and stretched to revolve around each other. A supply conveyor (8) consisting of a flat belt is provided between the sorting conveyors (3) (3). An auxiliary conveyor (10) made of a flat belt is provided along the upper side of the supply conveyor (9) and whose terminal end faces above the supply conveyor (8). The degeneration devices (7) (7) are connected to the terminal ends of each of these supply conveyors (8) (9), and are connected to the sorting conveyors (4) (5) and the alignment conveyor (6), respectively. ) This sorting device (6) is configured to receive the sorted fruit one by one through a roller (6). Partition plates according to the number of strips to be sorted along (11)
The sub-sorting conveyors (
4) The sub-sorting conveyor (5) in the center is provided to separate the fruit from the conveyors (4) on both sides. The structure is such that it is possible to do so. Also, the alignment conveyor (6) following this has endless checks 7 at regular intervals along the top surface of the flat belt.
A roll (12) rotatably supported by a shaft is rotated endlessly, and the fruits guided between the cutting plates (11) are further divided into individual bonds between the front and rear rolls (12). This configuration allows for transportation in line.

The degeneration separate device 1 (7) (7) has a saucer (15) for receiving fruit on a cheno (14) stretched over a sprocket (13).
) is disposed so as to be able to fall freely to the side, and is guided by a guide rail, and the receiving tray (15) is provided to fall over based on measurement by a measuring device during the transfer. This saucer (
The number of strips (15) is provided to be inherited and transferred for each alignment of each alignment device, and the number of strips is measured and sorted by weight, and the number of strips is transferred to the sorting pedestal (1).
111) (17) (1B) It is configured so that it can be taken out on the top. (19) is a conveyor, and each sorting stand (
18) (17) Fruit feeding device (1) that receives and transfers packed cardboard cases (18) etc.
), (20) is a conveyor on which Container+ (28) is placed and transferred, and is connected to a reversing device (21) that receives and transfers this container (28) while reversing it, and furthermore, this reversing device (21) There is a transfer device (22) that takes over and transfers the container (28) in an inverted position, and this container (2
A conveyor (23) for receiving and discharging 8) is installed in series. Among these, the reversing device (21) is an endless body (24)
(25) A container (28) is stretched in a semicircular arc shape on the inner periphery and the outer periphery, and a container (28) is provided between these endless bodies (24) and (25).
The container (28) is configured to be upside down while being transferred from a lower level to an upper level while the upper surface and lower surface of the container (28) are held between them. Further, the transfer device (22) is composed of a pair of left and right belts, and is provided to sandwich the container (28) and transfer it diagonally upward in an inverted position.
