SU914413A1 - Apparatus for placing fruit in containers - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to agricultural machinery, in particular to devices for packing in container easily damaged items, such as fruits, vegetables, melons and gourds, and can be used as part of a fruit harvesting machine, performing the laborious operation of transferring harvested fruits to the back of a car, tractor trailer, container, etc. P.

There are known devices for placing easily-damaged fruits in containers containing a feeding conveyor and a mechanism for lowering fruits, including a frame with rollers and a U-frame fixed on it, on the lintel of which elastic cells with flexible rods are mounted [1].

A disadvantage of the known devices is the imperfect kinematics of the movement of the edge of the elastic tape through which the fruit rolls out. The specified edge of the tape begins to rise up before the bottom of the cell, which

leads to the reuptake of fruits or discarding them from a great height and damage.

The aim of the invention is to reduce damage to the fruit.

This goal is achieved by the fact that a device for placing fruits into a container that contains a feed conveyor and a mechanism for lowering fruits, including a frame with rollers and a U-frame fixed on it, on the lintel of which elastic cells with flexible rods are mounted, is hinged on the lintel P -shaped frame with two shoulders levers, on the ends of which springs are installed, and a plate connecting them, while the cells are placed on the plate, and the flexible rods are fixed by one ends on the jumper of the U-shaped frame, and by others free ends of levers.

The device includes a frame 1 with rollers 2, on which a U-shaped frame 3 is hinged. to the rank of the U-shaped frame 3 two-armed levers 4, ₅ pivotally strengthened

the ends of which are mounted springs connected by a plate 5. On the plate 5, cells 6 are fixed with lateral flexible rods 7, one ends of which are fixed on two shoulders 4, and others are thrown over rollers 2 and fixed on the U-shaped frame 3. Springs 8 free ends attached to flexible 6, which are embedded in the cell 6, 5. On the frame 1 in the bearing supports there is attached the final blade shaft 9 of the feeding conveyor 10. At the ends of the shaft 9 there are fixed levers 11 connected by connecting rods 12 with 20

U-shaped frame 3.

Device for placing fruit in the container works as follows.

The movement of the feeding conveyor 10 causes the end shaft to rotate 2 $ 9. The levers 11 transmit the pendulum oscillations through the connecting rods 12 to the U-shaped frame 3, which alternate one cell 6 in the fruit receiving position, the other ₃₀

in the position of lowering the fruit to the bottom of the container. In the fetal receiving position, the flexible rods of the 7 cells 6 are tensioned by the springs 8, and in the lowering position of the fruits in the container, they are pulled out with ₃₅ cell 6 from under the laid fruit.

The process of changing the cells 6 is repeated synchronously with the feeding of the fruits by the feeding conveyor 10, carrying out soft laying of the fruits in the container.

The proposed device eliminates retraction and mechanical damage to the fruit when it is placed in the container, distributes it in the vehicle body into two parts, reducing damage to the fruit during distribution along the bottom of the body. The simplified design of the drive increases the reliability of the device in operation.

Claims (1)

Claim A device for placing fruits in a container containing a feed conveyor and a mechanism for lowering fruits, including a frame with rollers and an U-shaped frame fixed on it, on the lintel of which elastic cells with flexible rods are mounted, characterized in that, in order to reduce damage to the fruits, the device equipped with double-arm levers on the ends of which are mounted on the jumper of the U-shaped frame, and the plate connecting them, the cells are placed on the plate and the flexible rods are fixed by one -ί ends on the jumper of the U-shaped frame 'ki, and others - on the free ends leverage.
