[0086] Based on the shape geometry information and the height information, the electrode controller is used to control all the flexible electrodes 204 to fit the upper surface of the target sterilization object;

[0094] See also Fig. 9 The micro electric push rod 202 includes: an electric guide sleeve 201, a push rod and a connection seat; the electric guide sleeve 201 is provided with a retractable push rod, and one end of the push rod is provided with a connection seat.

Each flexible electrode 204 is connected to a micro electric push rod 202 to ensure the independence of the movement of each flexible electrode 204.

[0095] Furthermore, the electrode controller can realize dynamic adjustment of the flexible electrode 204 to better adapt to the shape of the surface of the target sterilization object.

[0096] Furthermore, the controller monitors the distance h between the flexible electrode 204 and the surface of the target sterilization object in real time and ensures that the operation is performed within a safe range. This safety limit setting is implemented through a height sensor, which provides real-time feedback information to guide the controller to adjust the position of all flexible electrodes 204 in real time. In addition, the safety limit can also include controlling the contact force between the flexible electrode 204 and the target sterilization object and monitoring the force F applied to the surface of the target sterilization object. By setting the maximum allowable force value to F max A force sensor is set at the end of the flexible electrode 204 to monitor the contact force in real time; the controller can identify it in time to prevent the occurrence of situations that may cause damage to the flexible electrode 204. The distance range and force range in the safety limit setting are as follows:

[0097]

[0098] Wherein, H is the distance between the lowermost ABS plastic frame 205 and the upper surface of the conveyor belt of the conveyor device; h1 is the height at which the target sterilization object is horizontally placed on the conveyor device.

[0099] See also Fig.10 The gas detection sub-device 6 includes: a gas detection sensor array, a switch 601, an indicator light 602 and a gas inlet and outlet; the switch 601 and the gas inlet and outlet are respectively placed on the two sides of the gas detection device box body. The bottom of the box body can be placed on the baffles 103 on the left and right sides of the conveying device. The gas detection sensor device adopts a signal processing method for a gas detection sensor device to process the odor information of the target sterilization object, judge the freshness of the target sterilization object, and divide the freshness of the target sterilization object into two levels: deterioration and freshness.

[0100] Furthermore, a signal processing algorithm is used to process the multivariate time series data generated by the gas detection sensor array. The effect of the signal processing algorithm is affected by the noise input from the gas sensor array, and the presence of noise has an adverse effect on the signal processing algorithm. The embodiment of the present invention uses signal transformation to perform noise filtering; the purpose of noise filtering is to reduce the noise level and reduce the impact of noise on the signal processing algorithm. For a given signal Perform a signal transformation, mathematically expressed as:

[0101]

[0102] Among them, ψ(u,v) is the gas information after noise reduction; u and v represent the signal transformation scale and translation parameters, t is time, and ε * () represents the complex conjugate of ε().

[0103] In the process of signal processing, signal transformation is required to ensure that the reconstructed signal x(t) can represent the information content of the original signal. The reconstruction of the signal x(t) satisfies:

[0104]

[0105] In the formula, α u,v Represents the approximate coefficient after signal transformation; β u,v Detailed coefficients after signal transformation; φ u,v (t) represents the scaling factor after signal transformation; ε u,v (t) is the signal decomposition function.

[0106] A signal contaminated by noise is represented as:

[0107] y(t)=x(t)+μ*λ(t)

[0108] Where x(t) and y(t) represent the reconstructed signal and the original (noise-containing) signal, respectively; μ and λ(t) represent the noise level and the noise function, respectively.

[0109] Furthermore, information quality is an important factor in finding the best characteristic frequency for each signal. A high-quality reconstructed signal means that more important information from the original signal can be stored. The present invention uses information quality ratio to determine the most appropriate characteristic frequency, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0110]

[0111] Where K(x(t), y(t)) is the information quality ratio; x, y, δ(x), δ(y), δ(x, y) represent the specific value of the original signal, the specific value of the denoised signal, the marginal probability function of the original signal, the marginal probability function of the denoised signal, and the joint probability function of the two signals, respectively.

[0112] Specifically, K=0 means that the reconstructed signal completely loses important information from the original signal, and the characteristic frequency of the selected signal is incompatible with the original signal; K=1 means that the selected signal can perfectly reconstruct the original signal without losing important information.

[0113] Specifically, the sorting electric push rod 501 includes a DC drive motor, a retractable push rod and a base 303. The electric push rod and the collection box 502 are respectively located on both sides of the conveying device to ensure that the electric push rod can push the deteriorated target sterilization objects on the conveying device into the collection box 502.

[0114] In summary, the plasma sterilization process provided in this embodiment is as follows: Fig.11 As shown, it specifically includes: the object to be tested is transported to the surface scanning sub-device and the height acquisition sub-device in sequence through the conveying sub-device, and the shape and geometry information of the target sterilized object and the height information of the target sterilized object are recorded and acquired respectively. The electrode controller controls each micro electric push rod to push and pull the flexible electrode according to the acquired shape and geometry information and height information, and ensures that each electrode tip (with a force sensor) contacts the object to be tested first. If the force F on the surface of the target sterilized object is greater than F max , then due to safety restrictions, all flexible electrodes return to their initial states, and the electrode controller continues to control their height positions through the micro-electric push rod; otherwise, the micro-electric push rod will pull all electrodes to move the same distance to ensure that the distance between each electrode and the object to be tested is consistent, and plasma sterilization begins; after sterilization, the gas detection sub-device collects gas information of the target sterilized object, and classifies the freshness of the target sterilized object according to the gas information into a deteriorated state and a fresh state. If the target sterilized object is in a deteriorated state, the conveying sub-device transports the target sterilized object to the sorting electric push rod, and the sorting electric push rod pushes the target sterilized object into the collection box; otherwise, the next object to be tested is conveyed to start the next cycle.

[0115] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
