Articles detecting and screening system

Abstract

The invention provides a product inspection and selection system capable of availablely peforming number management of carried bodies, product related information management or the like with a reduced cost due to a low unit price of the carried bodies. When a reference carried body (B2) is carried by a carrying transporting band (2), carried bodies behind the reference carried body (B2) are counted by a counter (5a). Agricultural products received in the carried bodies are inspected by an inspection device (4), manual inspection results obtained by operators (D) and mechanical inspection results obtained by the inspection device (4) are corresponding to sequence numbers of the carried bodies counted by the counter (5a), and saved in an input table of a control device (5). The agricultural products (A) received in the carried bodies (B1) are performed with selection process based on grades by carrying-out devices (6) according to the sequence numbers counted by the counter (5a) and an selection cammand outputted from the control device (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an article inspection and screening system for inspection and screening of fruits (apples, pears, peaches, tomatoes, persimmons, etc.), citrus and other articles. Background technique [0002] In the past, as a method for sorting the above-mentioned articles, for example, there are a sorting device in which a magnetic recording medium is set on a tray containing an object to be sorted as described in Patent Document 1, and a sorting device described in Patent Document 2 is set on a carrier such as a tray for loading items. An article sorting device and a sorting method for information recording media such as data recording media, the fruit and vegetable sorting device described in Patent Document 3, which is provided with a classification display device capable of indicating the sorting division, on a tray loaded with fruits and vegetables, and the fruit and vegetable sorting device described in Patent Document 4. The t...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the past, as a method for sorting the above-mentioned articles, for example, there are a sorting device in which a magnetic recording medium is set on a tray containing an object to be sorted as described in Patent Document 1, and a sorting device described in Patent Document 2 is set on a carrier such as a tray for loading items. An article sorting device and a sorting method for information recording media such as data recording media, the fruit and vegetable sorting device described in Patent Document 3, which is provided with a classification display device capable of indicating the sorting division, on a tray loaded with fruits and vegetables, and the fruit and vegetable sorting device described in Patent Document 4. The tray of the fruit and vegetable sorting device with a barcode on which the inherent information is placed on the tray loaded with fruits and vegetables, but when using plates, plates, trays, etc. In order to correlate the screening results with the carrier, it is necessary to install a magnetic recording medium, a data recording medium, a distinguishing display device, a barcode, etc. on each carrier, which increases the unit price of the carrier and increases the cost.

[0003] In addition, there is patent document 5 that does not install any device on the tray loaded with fruits and vegetables, and outputs a classification signal based on the judgment result to the discharge device in synchronization with the conveyance tray. The above fruit and vegetable sorting device, however, realizes synchronization by counting the pulses output by the encoder provided on the conveying conveyor belt for conveying the pallets, so the grade detection device for detecting the grade loading position of the pallet, the grade detection device for measuring the fruit and vegetable The measuring device for screening items and the discharging device for discharging trays based on the distinguishing signal output by the calculation processing device are connected to the same conveyor belt, which not only lacks reliability to some extent, but also restricts the appearance of the device
