Multi-channel conveying device and method suitable for small-scale agricultural product intelligent sorting machine

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-channel conveying device and a method applied to a small-sized agricultural product intelligent sorting machine. The multi-channel conveying device comprises an inclined material conveying system and a horizontal material conveying system. The inclined material conveying system and the horizontal material conveying system are sequentially connected. The inclined material conveying system comprises an inclined conveying belt, an adjustable-speed motor, an inclined channel separating plate and a stop brush. The horizontal material conveying system comprises a horizontal conveying belt, an adjustable-speed motor and a horizontal channel separating plate. The two-level conveying mechanism adopted by the multi-channel conveying device can convey materials at equal intervals and in a multi-channel array mode, multi-channel material images in the process of sorting small-sized agricultural products can be collected and analyzed conveniently at a time, and the work efficiency of the sorting machine is improved beneficially. Moreover, as combination of the belts with the separating plates and the stop brush is adopted, the multi-channel conveying device can adapt to the agricultural products of different types or sizes, and the small-sized agricultural product intelligent sorting machine is low in cost and multipurpose.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of grading and sorting in agricultural product processing, in particular to a multi-channel conveying device and method suitable for a small-scale intelligent sorting machine for agricultural products. Background technique [0002] All kinds of agricultural products such as fruits, dried fruits and nuts can be sorted, which can be of high quality and price, and increase the added value of agricultural products. The use of machine sorting can reduce labor input, improve sorting accuracy, and improve product competitiveness. The existing sorting machines for agricultural products can be divided into three categories in principle: size or weight sorting machines, photoelectric sorting machines and machine vision sorting machines. Size or weight sorting machines and photoelectric sorting machines can only sort by size, weight or color. The sorting index is single, and the quality of agricultural products cannot ...

Problems solved by technology

The conveying unit completes the stable conveying of the sorted materials, and makes the materials line up to form a single-row or multi-row array. For this reason, the conveying unit must have a specially designed material positioning device or structure, and the structure of the material positioning device is relatively complicated. The pertinence of the sorting materials Strong, for different material sorting, if the size of the material changes greatly, the positioning device needs to be replaced, so the applicability to materials of different sizes is poor. In addition, the existing intelligent sorting machines on the market are applied to large and medium-sized Large-scale fruit processing enterprises are aimed at the large-scale post-harvest processing and centralized sales of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the cost of sorting equipment is high and the structure is huge, which is not suitable for small-scale processing and sales of farmers and family farms. Machine vision sorting technology Difficult to promote and other issues
