The agriculture population of Korea has been steadily decreasing from 666 million in 1990 to about 3.11 million in 2009, decreasing by 46.6%. The aged aged population in 1990 was 10 ~ 20 years old and 50 ~ 60 years old most However, in 2009, it increased from the age of 50 to reach the peak between 65 and 70 years, and it is rapidly aging, and the number of women is more than the number of men, so agriculture of agriculture population, As the quality of the labor force deteriorates, not only the efficiency of agricultural work is reduced but also the severity of agriculture-related diseases or accidents is increasing, and the health condition of farmers is deteriorating.

The criteria for selecting fruits are size, shape, color, weight, sugar content and taste. Even if cultivated in the same farm, at the same temperature, and the same environment, the size, shape, weight, sugar content and flavor corresponding to the above-mentioned selection criteria can be different from each other, and therefore screening work is essential.

These selected fruits are packaged in containers and ready for shipment.

Since the usual fruit sorting and packing works are often performed on the floor or on a flat surface, work that lasts for a long time in an unstable posture such as a man's posture may cause blood circulation and induce musculoskeletal disorders such as legs and shoulders .

The invisible fatigue of the human body reduces the efficiency of work, which can lead to a decline in fruit production in the long run.

On the other hand, the sorting and packaging work is performed indoors, and most of the lights are installed on the ceiling. Lighting on the head can make identification of the fruit difficult because of the shadow of the operator. It is possible to install many lights to exclude it, but it is not so efficient.

As described above, the selection and packing work of fruits is performed in an environment that does not take into consideration the physical condition of the worker, and an optimal environment for discrimination by naked eyes is not provided.

Therefore, it is easy for the worker 's body to be overcooked and the work that lasts for a long time can make blood circulation difficult and can cause musculoskeletal diseases.

Therefore, there is a need to introduce workbenches that can be adjusted in height to match the body shape of the worker, and sorting and packaging workbenches that can be angled to minimize the burden of neck bending.

Prior art related to this is a workbench for sorting and packing fruit and a sliding device provided therein as disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1261546 (published on May 24, 2012).

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for sorting and packing fruits by hand, which can adjust the height of the table and adjust the angle of the table according to the physical conditions of the operator, thereby reducing the burden on the human body, And to provide a workbench for sorting and packing fruits, which can improve the work efficiency.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a table for picking and packing fruits, comprising: a table on which fruits for selection are placed; A sorting table positioned above the table and on which a working packaging container is placed; A pair of supports vertically erected on the table and having a plurality of grooves arranged at predetermined intervals in a vertical direction; An illumination device having a light source for illuminating the table and the sorting table and having a light source support in the form of a '?' A loading box coupled to one side of the table to load extra packing containers; A height adjuster for adjusting the height of the table leg supporting the table up and down; And a stopper positioned at a lower end of the sorting table for preventing slippage of the packaging container, wherein a predetermined angle of the plurality of grooves of the pair of supports is positioned at an upper end of the sorting table, And a hooking portion.

The structure and function of the worktable 1 for sorting and packing fruit according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 as follows.

A work table (1) for fruit selection and packing according to the present invention comprises a table (100) on which fruits for sorting are placed, a sorting table (300) on which a working packaging container is placed, a table (100) And a light source 500 for illuminating the table 100 and the table 300. The light source 500 includes a pair of support tables 310, A table leg 400 attached to one side of the table 100 to support the table 100 and a loading table 110 on which the extra packing containers are stacked, And a stopper 302 disposed at a lower end of the screening table 300 to prevent slippage of the packaging container. The height adjusting unit 410 is disposed at an upper end of the screening table 300, A desired one of the plurality of grooves of the pair of supports 310 is selected And a hooking portion 301 is provided.

A table 100 on which fruit for selection is placed is composed of an upper table 100 and a table leg 400 supporting the table 100.

At this time, the table leg 400 can be single or plural, and includes a height adjusting part 410 for height adjustment.

On the other hand, the height adjusting portion 410 includes a bolt-type bolt which is bolted in a state in which the table leg 400 is vertically adjusted.

At this time, the height adjuster 410 may be configured to fix the lever in a state where the table leg 400 is adjusted up and down through a lever that can be fixed and loosened.

In addition, a loading box 110 on which an extra packing container is loaded is coupled to one side of the table 100. Since a large number of packaging containers are required for sorting and packing fruit, and a space for loading them is not sufficient, a comfortable environment of the work space can be provided through a separate loading box 110. [

Here, the loading box 110 can be manufactured and installed according to the size of the packaging container.

At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the loading unit 110 can be fixed to one side of the table 100, but can be coupled to the bottom of the table 100 in the form of a drawer.

In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide the opening / closing part installed in the form of a buried structure on the table 100 so as to be able to be opened and closed through the opening and closing part.

The sorting table 300 disposed on the table 100 includes a stopper 302 for preventing slippage of the packaging container and a hooking part 301 for hanging on the support 310. Since the angle of the screen 300 can be adjusted according to the position of the groove of the support 310, the stopper 302 is required to prevent the packaging container from sliding in an inclined state.

The hooking unit 301 has a shape that can be engaged with a plurality of grooves of the support table 310 supporting the screening table 300 and is separated from the screening table 300 so as to be easily moved up and down on the support table 310 .

The supporting table 310 on which the hooking portion 301 of the sorter 300 is wound has a plurality of grooves. The plurality of grooves are arranged in the vertical direction, and it is possible to adjust the angle of the screening table 300 which is spanned according to the position of each groove.

At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible that the plurality of grooves have angles of 10 °, 20 °, 30 °, and 40 ° in accordance with the respective arrangements.

The angle of the sorting table 300 is adjusted to facilitate the work considering the physical characteristics of the worker. When the sorting table 300 is inclined excessively, the stacked fruit may be tilted to one side. Rather, the work may be inconvenient.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of grooves of the support table 310 are formed in a semi-closed shape so as to facilitate insertion and removal of the sorter 300, It is possible to have a photograph form.

The inclined grooves can prevent the sorter 300 from shaking in the lateral direction due to the weight of the sorter 300.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the scale 200 may be provided on the table 100.

Because weighing is included in the selection criteria of fruit, we often use the scale (200). Accordingly, if a separate scale 200 is provided on the table 100, the efficiency of the operation can be increased.

At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to install the balance 200 in the form of a buried layer on the table 100.

In the embedding form, the work space above the table 100 can be used more efficiently and there is no need to lift the container with the fruit to the height of the scale 200 to measure the weight, .

5 is a cross-sectional view and a perspective view showing a light source 500 of a lighting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and includes a lamp shade 510 for proper dispersion of the light source 500. FIG.

The selection and packing of fruits is generally done indoors, and most of them are sitting on the floor or working on a flat surface. Therefore, lighting for work is generally installed on the ceiling, and the lighting installed on the ceiling may produce shadows depending on the position of the worker or the light amount required for the work may be insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dedicated illumination for the work, and it can be solved through the illumination device of the workbench 1 for sorting and packing fruit according to the present invention.

The light source 500 provided in the lighting apparatus can be equipped with the lamp shade 510 for proper reflection and dispersion of light, thereby facilitating the screening and packaging operation to be visually recognized.

Also, the light source 500 can be tilted, and the light source 500 can be adjusted at a desired angle.
