Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable detection, and in particular to a fruit and vegetable appearance detection device. Background Art
[0002] Fruit and vegetable surface defect detection equipment is a device that uses computer vision technology to detect and classify the surface of fruits and vegetables. The equipment is usually composed of an image acquisition system, an image processing system, a classification system, etc. Through the image acquisition system, the image of the fruit and vegetable surface is transmitted to the computer. After being processed by the image processing system, the defects on the fruit and vegetable surface are analyzed and classified, and judged and screened through the classification system.
[0003] The patent with authorization announcement number CN116893137B discloses an automatic detection equipment for apple surface defects, including a supporting frame, a rotating column and a transmission belt. The rotating column is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the supporting frame, the transmission belt is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating column, one end of the rotating column is rotatably connected to a rotating motor, the top of the supporting frame is fixedly connected to a detection box, the inner wall of the detection box is fixedly connected to an industrial color camera, the outer wall of the rotating column is fixedly connected to an external rotating column, the outer wall of the external rotating column is fixedly connected to a semicircular gear, and the outer wall of the semicircular gear is meshed with a movable gear ring.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned automatic detection equipment for apple surface defects still has some shortcomings in actual use: 1. The piston push plate is squeezed by the rotating motor to squeeze the water in the water tank, and the water flows to the drain pipe to spray the apples to rinse the apples, so as to solve the problem that impurities such as leaves adhering to the surface of apples affect the judgment of the image processing system. However, the movement of the piston push plate is reciprocating, that is, the cleaning of the apples is intermittent, and the leaves are not processed, so that the leaves and impurities still remain on the transmission belt, affecting subsequent detection; 2. The rinsed apples are dried in a dryer. Due to the nature of apples, drying will cause the apples to lose a certain amount of moisture; 3. The setting of the above-mentioned automatic detection equipment for apple surface defects can only detect single-row apples, the detection efficiency is extremely low, and the cleaning effect is not good, so a fruit and vegetable appearance detection equipment is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0019] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this fruit and vegetable appearance detection equipment are:
[0020] When the conveyor belt and the water leakage limit plate carry rows of fruits and vegetables into the water tank, impurities such as leaves will float on the water surface due to the buoyancy of the water. Since the fruits and vegetables are limited by the limit rods, they will be completely immersed in the water. When the slide bar 1 slides to the two protrusions of the limit rail, the slide bar 1 drives all the limit rods to move up and then fall down through the connecting rod 2 and the slide bar 2, so that the fruits and vegetables float up and are pressed down by the limit rods, so that the surface of the fruits and vegetables impacts the water flow, which better promotes the shedding of impurities.
[0021] At the same time, when the slide bar 1 moves up, the slide bar 1 will squeeze the connecting rod 1, so that the connecting rod 1 drives the third rack to move up, thereby driving the first gear to rotate 180 degrees. Since the spray assembly is arranged on one side of the water tank, the water will flow from the spray assembly to the leaf scooping net, so that the impurities floating on the water surface will accumulate on the side of the water tank away from the spray assembly. In the default state, the leaf scooping net is submerged in the water in a vertical state. When the first gear drives the transmission shaft and the mounting frame 1 to flip, the fixing plate 2 is meshed with the arc-shaped rack, and the transmission gear 1 and the leaf scooping net are driven to flip 90 degrees through the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear, so that the five leaf scooping nets form a plane to scoop out the impurities, leaves, etc. floating on the water surface;
[0022] When the slide bar moves to the wave position of the limit slide rail, the fruits and vegetables are in an inverted state, and the water control step is performed on the fruits and vegetables. When passing through the wave range, the water is shaken out, so that only a small amount of water remains on the surface of the fruits and vegetables;
[0023] When fruits and vegetables fall on the water-absorbing sponge cover, the water leakage limit plate will collide with the support rod. The part of the corner of the mounting plate connected to the support rod is complete on one side to provide support for the support rod to collide with the water leakage limit plate, and missing on one side. When the support rod contacts the water-absorbing sponge cover and the water-absorbing belt, it can rotate, and the second shaft rod is driven to rotate through the mounting plate and the third shaft rod, thereby driving the water-absorbing sponge cover to move. When fruits and vegetables roll down along the inclined surface of the water-absorbing sponge cover, the contact time between fruits and vegetables and the water-absorbing sponge cover can be extended.
[0024] In summary, the present invention arranges a fruit pressing mechanism in the leakage limit plate. When the slide rod slides to the two protrusions of the limit slide rail, the limit rod moves up several times and then falls down, so that the surface of the fruits and vegetables impacts the water flow, which better promotes the shedding of impurities. At the same time, the leaf scooping mechanism is cooperated to synchronously scoop out impurities such as leaves floating on the water surface. When the slide rod moves to the wave position of the limit slide rail, the fruits and vegetables are inverted and the water is controlled and shaken, so that only a small amount of water remains on the surface of the fruits and vegetables, thereby solving the problem that impurities such as leaves adhering to the surface of fruits and vegetables affect the judgment of the image processing system, and the number of detections is greatly improved.

[0047] Among them, two leaf catching mechanisms 101 are provided, and the two leaf catching mechanisms 101 are symmetrically distributed. The fruit mechanism 202 includes a chain 250, a connecting rod 237, two sliding rods 36, a plurality of sliding rods 38, a plurality of limiting rods 39, a plurality of chains 250 and a plurality of springs 25. The two sliding rods 36 are slidably connected to the frame 1 through the limiting slide rails 27 on both sides. The connecting rod 237 is fixedly connected to the two sliding rods 36.

[0048] In the present embodiment, fruits and vegetables are piled up in the fruit stacking box 2, and the gap between the fruit stacking box 2 and the conveyor belt 11 is set to convey only one row of fruits and vegetables. There is one row of fruits and vegetables between the two water leakage limit plates 32. When the transmission gear 2 35 on the outermost side of the water leakage limit plate 32 is meshed with the first rack 19, it is set that the first rack 19 can drive the transmission gear 2 35 to rotate ninety degrees, so that the transmission gear 2 35 drives the limit rod 39 to rotate ninety degrees. The limit rod 39 is just located between the two water leakage limit plates 32, and the gap between two adjacent limit rods 39 will not exceed the diameter of the fruits and vegetables. When the conveyor belt 11 and the water leakage limit plate 32 carry rows of fruits and vegetables into the water tank 29, impurities such as leaves will float on the water surface due to the buoyancy of the water. Since the fruits and vegetables are limited by the limit rod 39, the fruits and vegetables will be completely immersed in the water. When the slide bar 1 36 slides to the position as shown in the figure, the fruit and vegetables will be completely immersed in the water. Figure 6 When the two protrusions of the limit rail 27 are shown, the slide bar 1 36 drives all the limit bars 39 to move up and then fall down through the connecting rod 2 37 and the slide bar 38, so that the fruits and vegetables float up and are then pressed down by the limit bars 39, so that the surface of the fruits and vegetables impacts the water flow, which better promotes the shedding of impurities. The limit bars 39 are set to move up to a height that will not cause the fruits and vegetables to fall out of the water leakage limit plate 32;
[0049] At the same time, when the slide bar 36 moves up, the slide bar 36 will squeeze the connecting rod 26, so that the connecting rod 26 drives the third rack 23 to move up, thereby driving the first gear 22 to rotate 180 degrees. Since the spray assembly 4 is arranged above one side of the water tank 29, the water flow will flow from the spray assembly 4 to the leaf scooping net 3, so that the impurities floating on the water surface will accumulate on the side of the water tank 29 away from the spray assembly 4. In the default state, the leaf scooping net 3 is submerged in the water in a vertical state. When the first gear 22 drives the transmission shaft 21 and the mounting frame 20 to flip, the fixing plate 24 engages with the arc-shaped rack 43, and drives the transmission gear 34 and the leaf scooping net 3 to flip 90 degrees through the second bevel gear 41 and the first bevel gear 40, so that the five leaf scooping nets 3 form a plane to scoop out the impurities, leaves, etc. floating on the water surface. The gap between the two water leakage limit plates 32 is set to be larger than Figure 6 The lengths of both ends of the two protrusions of the limiting slide rail 27 are shown.
[0050] Among them, there are several water leakage limiting plates 32, and the water absorption mechanism 303 includes a water absorption belt 14, a water absorption sponge cover 15, an extrusion shaft rod 16, a third shaft rod 47 and two second shaft rods 30, the two second shaft rods 30 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1, the water absorption belt 14 is sleeved on the outer walls of the two second shaft rods 30, the water absorption sponge cover 15 is fixedly connected to the water absorption belt 14, the third shaft rod 47 is fixedly connected to one of the second shaft rods 30, the extrusion shaft rod 16 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, the water absorption sponge cover 15 is located between the water absorption belt 14 and the extrusion shaft rod 16, the outer wall of the third shaft rod 47 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 45, the inner wall of the mounting plate 45 is rotatably connected to the support rod 46, a torsion spring 48 is fixedly connected between the support rod 46 and the mounting plate 45, and several mounting plates 45 are provided.
[0051] In this embodiment, when the slide bar 36 moves to Figure 7 When the limiting slide rail 27 is at the wave position as shown, the fruits and vegetables are in an inverted state, and the water control step is performed on the fruits and vegetables. When passing through the wave range, the water will be shaken out, so that only a small amount of water remains on the surface of the fruits and vegetables. The water is discharged through the inclined water guide plate 12. When the transmission gear 2 35 is meshed with the second rack 31 again, the second rack 31 drives the transmission gear 2 35 to reset and be parallel to the water leakage limiting plate 32, so that the fruits and vegetables fall on the water-absorbing sponge cover 15, and the water leakage limiting plate 32 will conflict with the support rod 46. Fig.12 As shown, the part of the corner of the mounting plate 45 connected to the support rod 46 is complete on one side, which can provide support for the support rod 46 to contact the water leakage limit plate 32, and is missing on one side. When the support rod 46 contacts the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 and the water-absorbing belt 14, it can rotate, and the second shaft rod 30 is driven to rotate through the mounting plate 45 and the third shaft rod 47, thereby driving the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 to move. When fruits and vegetables roll down the inclined surface of the water-absorbing sponge cover 15, the contact time between the fruits and vegetables and the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 can be extended. When the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 passes through the extrusion shaft rod 16, the extrusion shaft rod 16 squeezes out the moisture in the water-absorbing sponge cover 15, so that the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 can better absorb the moisture on the outer wall of the fruits and vegetables.
[0052] Among them, the inner wall of the frame 1 is fixedly connected with a first rack 19, and the first rack 19 is located obliquely above the leaf scooping net 3. The inner wall of the frame 1 is fixedly connected with a second rack 31, and the second rack 31 is located above the water-absorbing sponge cover 15. A limit frame 17 is arranged above the detection belt 18, and the limit frame 17 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The inner wall of one end of the frame 1 close to the detection motor 7 is fixedly connected with an inclined slide groove 6.
[0053] The fruit screening mechanism 404 includes a rejecting motor 51 and a screening plate 28 . The rejecting motor 51 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the detection box 5 , and the screening plate 28 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rejecting motor 51 .
[0054] In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the detection motor 7 is set faster than that of the conveying motor 10. When the fruits and vegetables reach the detection belt 18, they are guided by the limit frame 17 so that they can move forward in rows along the limit frame 17 to avoid accumulation of fruits and vegetables. When the visual inspection equipment in the detection box 5 detects unqualified products, the corresponding rejection motor 51 is controlled to rotate through an electrical signal to move the unqualified fruits and vegetables to the side. Qualified fruits and vegetables will be passed down through the inclined chute 6, and unqualified fruits and vegetables will be passed down through the end of the detection belt 18 to complete the classification of fruits and vegetables.
[0055] The specific working principle and use method of the present invention are explained in detail below: When in use, the conveying motor 10 and the detection motor 7 are started, driving the conveying belt 11 and the detection belt 18 to convey fruits and vegetables. Taking spherical fruits and vegetables of similar size such as apples and pears as an example, the water level in the water tank 29 is higher than the leaf scooping net 3, and the spray component 4 continuously sprays to clean the fruits and vegetables, and the water is discharged through the valve on the water outlet 9 to maintain the constant water volume in the water tank 29.
[0056] The fruits and vegetables are piled up in the fruit stacking box 2, and the gap between the fruit stacking box 2 and the conveyor belt 11 is set to be able to convey only one row of fruits and vegetables. There is one row of fruits and vegetables between the two water leakage limit plates 32. When the transmission gear 2 35 on the outermost side of the water leakage limit plate 32 is meshed with the first rack 19, it is set that the first rack 19 can drive the transmission gear 2 35 to rotate ninety degrees, so that the transmission gear 2 35 drives the limit rod 39 to rotate ninety degrees. The limit rod 39 is just located between the two water leakage limit plates 32, and the gap between two adjacent limit rods 39 will not exceed the diameter of the fruits and vegetables. When the conveyor belt 11 and the water leakage limit plate 32 carry rows of fruits and vegetables into the water tank 29, impurities such as leaves will float on the water surface due to the buoyancy of the water. Since the fruits and vegetables are limited by the limit rod 39, the fruits and vegetables will be completely immersed in the water. When the slide bar 1 36 slides to the position as shown in the figure, the fruit and vegetables will be completely immersed in the water. Figure 6 When the limiting slide rail 27 is at the two protrusions shown, the slide bar 1 36 drives all the limiting rods 39 to move up and then fall down through the connecting rod 2 37 and the slide bar 38, so that the fruits and vegetables float up and are then pressed down by the limiting rods 39, so that the surface of the fruits and vegetables impacts the water flow, which better promotes the shedding of impurities. The setting height of the limiting rod 39 will not cause the fruits and vegetables to fall out of the water leakage limiting plate 32.
[0057] At the same time, when the slide bar 36 moves up, the slide bar 36 will squeeze the connecting rod 26, so that the connecting rod 26 drives the third rack 23 to move up, thereby driving the first gear 22 to rotate 180 degrees. Since the spray assembly 4 is arranged above one side of the water tank 29, the water flow will flow from the spray assembly 4 to the leaf scooping net 3, so that the impurities floating on the water surface will accumulate on the side of the water tank 29 away from the spray assembly 4. In the default state, the leaf scooping net 3 is submerged in the water in a vertical state. When the first gear 22 drives the transmission shaft 21 and the mounting frame 20 to flip, the fixing plate 24 engages with the arc-shaped rack 43, and drives the transmission gear 34 and the leaf scooping net 3 to flip 90 degrees through the second bevel gear 41 and the first bevel gear 40, so that the five leaf scooping nets 3 form a plane to scoop out the impurities, leaves, etc. floating on the water surface. The gap between the two water leakage limit plates 32 is set to be larger than Figure 6 The lengths of both ends of the two protrusions of the limiting slide rail 27 are shown.
[0058] When the slide bar 36 moves to Figure 7 When the limiting slide rail 27 is at the wave position as shown, the fruits and vegetables are in an inverted state, and the water control step is performed on the fruits and vegetables. When passing through the wave range, the water will be shaken out, so that only a small amount of water remains on the surface of the fruits and vegetables. The water is discharged through the inclined water guide plate 12. When the transmission gear 2 35 is meshed with the second rack 31 again, the second rack 31 drives the transmission gear 2 35 to reset and be parallel to the water leakage limiting plate 32, so that the fruits and vegetables fall on the water-absorbing sponge cover 15, and the water leakage limiting plate 32 will conflict with the support rod 46. Fig.12 As shown, the part of the corner of the mounting plate 45 connected to the support rod 46 is complete on one side, which can provide support for the support rod 46 to contact the water leakage limit plate 32, and is missing on one side. When the support rod 46 contacts the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 and the water-absorbing belt 14, it can rotate, and the second shaft rod 30 is driven to rotate through the mounting plate 45 and the third shaft rod 47, thereby driving the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 to move. When fruits and vegetables roll down along the inclined surface of the water-absorbing sponge cover 15, the contact time between the fruits and vegetables and the water-absorbing sponge cover 15 can be extended.
[0059] When the water-absorbing sponge sleeve 15 passes through the extrusion shaft 16, the extrusion shaft 16 squeezes out the moisture in the water-absorbing sponge sleeve 15, so that the water-absorbing sponge sleeve 15 can better absorb the moisture on the outer wall of the fruit and vegetable. The rotation speed of the detection motor 7 is set to be faster than the conveying motor 10. When the fruits and vegetables reach the detection belt 18, they are guided by the limit frame 17 so that they can move forward one by one along the limit frame 17, thereby avoiding the accumulation of fruits and vegetables and increasing the number of inspections. When the visual inspection equipment in the inspection box 5 detects unqualified products, the corresponding rejection motor 51 is controlled to rotate through an electrical signal to move the unqualified fruits and vegetables to the side. Qualified fruits and vegetables will be passed down through the inclined chute 6, and unqualified fruits and vegetables will be passed down through the end of the detection belt 18 to complete the classification of fruits and vegetables.
