Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the apple production base, the fruit grower needs to sort different types of apples when picking apples. In the case of a large number of apple resources, the fruit grower needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to sort and screen the apples, and manual sorting is often difficult. Due to certain subjective factors, different sorters may sort apples in different ways, resulting in chaotic apple sorting with different sizes, which is not conducive to later apple sales.

Embodiment 1

[0032] Embodiment 1: as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, an apple sorting device includes a flexible feeding device 1, a feeding conveyor belt 2, a sorting conveyor belt 3, an image recognition device 4 and a sorting mechanism 5, and the flexible feeding device 1 is installed on the feeding conveyor belt 2, The feeding conveyor belt 2 is installed vertically on the feeding end of the sorting conveyor belt 3 and is higher than the sorting conveyor belt 3, the sorting mechanism 5 and the image recognition device 4 are installed on the sorting conveyor belt 3, and the sorting mechanism 5 is located behind the image recognition device 4 .

[0033] Preferably, the above-mentioned flexible feeding device 1 includes a chute 101, the chute 101 is fixedly connected to the frame of the feeding conveyor belt 2 through a support column 103, and the discharge end of the chute 101 is provided with an upside-down V-shaped spacer bar 102, the slant The inner surface of the groove 101 is laid wit...

Embodiment 2

[0042] Embodiment 2: a kind of sorting method of apple sorting device, this method comprises the following steps:

[0043] 1) When the detection device is in the idle state, the counting sensor is used to detect whether the material is loaded. If it has been detected that the material is not loaded, the voice announcer will prompt the detection device to be idle every 10 seconds, so that the operator is ready to load. If after 3 Minutes later, it is still loading, and the system will automatically shut down;

[0044] 2) When the counting sensor detects that the apples are loaded, it is about to prepare for the sorting stage: in this stage, the conveyor belt transports the apples to the image recognition device, and the apples enter the image recognition device. The light belt and the camera start to collect images of the apples, and the lights The strip adopts three primary color light sources, which can obtain more apple image data under different light sources. Considering t...

Abstract

The invention discloses an apple sorting device and a sorting method thereof. The apple sorting device comprises a flexible loading device, a feeding conveyor belt, a sorting conveyor belt, an image recognition device and a sorting mechanism, wherein the flexible loading device is arranged on the feeding conveyor belt; the feeding conveyor belt is perpendicularly arranged at the feeding end of thesorting conveyor belt and is higher than the sorting conveyor belt; the sorting mechanism and the image recognition device are arranged on the sorting conveyor belt; and the sorting mechanism is located in the rear of the image recognition device. According to the apple sorting device and the sorting method thereof provided by the invention, through the flexible loading device, apples can be non-destructively added into the feeding conveyor belt; through the feeding conveyor belt, the apples are separately conveyed to the sorting conveyor belt; and through the image recognition device on thesorting conveyor belt, the apples in various grades are recognized and are conveyed to corresponding classification positions so as to be sorted into respective classification boxes, so that the graded apples are quickly sorted, and the classified applies are appropriate in size, similar in color, and accurate in grading.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an apple sorting device and a sorting method thereof, belonging to the technical field of apple grading equipment. Background technique [0002] In the apple production base, the fruit grower needs to sort different types of apples when picking apples. In the case of a large number of apple resources, the fruit grower needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to sort and screen the apples, and manual sorting is often difficult. Due to certain subjective factors, different sorters may sort apples in different ways, resulting in chaotic apple sorting with different sizes, which is not conducive to later apple sales. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an apple sorting device and a sorting method thereof, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. [0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an appl...
