Description

The device relates to agriculture and is intended for sorting fruits and root crops (apples, oranges, tangerines, potatoes, etc.).

A device for sorting fruits and root crops is known (patent No. 146119 (German Democratic Republic)), including a loading device, a chain conveyor, a sorting cloth formed by rollers, the distance between which gradually increases as the chain conveyor moves.

The main disadvantages of this device are the complexity and bulkiness of the design, low productivity due to the low speed of the conveyor, damage to the surface of fruits and root crops when moving from roller to roller.

A device for sorting fruits and root crops is known (patent No. 56224U1), containing a frame, a loading ladle, a sorting device consisting of front and rear lattice sections, sloped trays for small, medium and large fractions of tubers and a drive.

The main disadvantages of these devices are the complexity and bulkiness of the design, low productivity, damage to the surface of fruits and roots due to their collision.

The technical result is a simplified design, increased productivity, reduced damage to the surface of fruits and root crops.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the fruit sorting device consists of a fixed high support and a movable low support, two inclined guides, a stepped trestle, distributors moving in horizontal planes left and right, inclined semi-cylindrical trays for small, medium and large fractions, baskets for small, medium and large fractions, rollers for moving distributors left and right and feeder.

The present invention is illustrated by drawings, where in Fig. 1 shows a top view (initial position) of the sorting device, FIG. 2 shows a top view (working position), Fig. 3 shows a side view of the sorting device, FIG. 4 shows view A of the sorting device distributor.

The proposed device for sorting fruits and root vegetables consists of a fixed high support 1 and a movable low support 2, two inclined guides 3, a stepped trestle 4, distributors 5 moving in horizontal planes left and right, inclined semi-cylindrical trays 6 (for small fractions), 7 (for medium fractions), 8 (for large fractions), baskets 9, 9-1 (for small fractions), 10, 10-1 (for medium fractions), 11, 11-1 (for large fractions), rollers 12 for movement of distributors 5 left and right and feeder 13.

The proposed device works as follows.

The operator moves the movable low supports 2 in a horizontal plane to the distance between them corresponding to the sorted fractions (small, medium, large). Distributors 5 are moved to the right in a horizontal plane. Then, from the feeder 13, the sorted fruits are dropped onto two inclined guides 3 and rolled along them in the direction of the arrows. If the distance between two inclined guides 3 corresponds to the sizes of the sorted fruits 14, then they are rolled into small, medium and large fractions through distributors 5 to the right along inclined semi-cylindrical trays 6, 7 and 8, respectively, into the corresponding baskets 9, 10 and 11, located on a stepped platform 4. When filling baskets 9, 10 and 11, dispenser 5 moves to the left and baskets 9-1, 10-1 and 11-1 are filled. Filled baskets 9, 10 and 11 are replaced with empty new baskets. When filling baskets 9-1, 10-1 and 11-1, feeders 5 move to the right and the cycle repeats. As soon as feeder 13 is empty, it is filled with a new portion of fruit.

As a result of using this device, the design is simplified, productivity is increased, and damage to the surface of fruits and root crops during sorting is reduced.

Claims (1)

A device for sorting fruits and root vegetables, characterized in that it has a feeder, a fixed high support and a movable low support, two inclined guides connected to the supports, installed with the possibility of sliding in a horizontal plane using a movable support at a distance corresponding to the sorted fractions of fruits or root vegetables , and communicated with the feeder, distributors of fruits and root crops into fractions and a stepped trestle, wherein the distributors communicate with inclined guides, move by means of rollers in horizontal planes to the left and right and communicate with inclined semi-cylindrical trays equipped with baskets for fruits or root vegetables, and the baskets installed on a stepped overpass.
