TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an automatic control system of agricultural product processing equipment, in particular to an automatic control system of an automatic coconut processing machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coconut is the fruit of the palm tree, which is composed of epicarp, mesocarp, endocarp, seed coat, coconut meat and coconut water, etc. Each part has a very important use value. Fresh green coconut is difficult to store for a long time because it contains a large amount of water. In addition, the irregular shape of coconut will occupy a large space and consume a large amount of unnecessary cost during long-distance transportation. Therefore, green coconut is usually processed into a product with a conical top, a cylindrical side and a flat bottom, which is called coconut. The coconut is immersed and wrapped to effectively prolong its value period. Otherwise, its skin will quickly age, affecting the taste of fruit juice and pulp and reducing its nutritional value. At present, the coconut processing machinery is relatively backward, mainly relying on manual cutting, which is time-consuming and laborious, unsafe and unhygienic. This way of processing has low efficiency, high labor cost and is prone to personal accidents, which limits the development of enterprises to some extent. SUMMARY

3. The automatic control system for an automatic young coconut processing machine according to claim 1, characterized in that: The automatic control process of the coconut processing machine is as follows: Place the coconut vertically upright with the top facing up on the rotating nail plate (2), and press the manual button SB after placing it in place. 15 (30) The coil of intermediate relay KA5 (46) is energized, causing solenoid valve YV1 (6) to work and control the action of clamping cylinder (5), causing the clamping cylinder manipulator (72) to extend and press down the coconut to fix it on the rotating nail plate (2). After 2 seconds, the coil of intermediate relay KA1 (50) is energized, causing the coil of AC contactor KM1 (65) to be energized. The normally open contact of AC contactor KM1 (65) closes, the rotary motor M1 (1) starts, and the coconut on the rotating nail plate (2) begins to rotate. The electric push rod (4) is pushed out, causing the cutting tool (3) to approach the coconut. When the cutting tool (3) contacts the coconut, it begins to cut the side and top of the coconut. After 15 seconds, the coil of intermediate relay KA1 (50) is de-energized, causing the coil of AC contactor KM1 (65) to be de-energized. The normally open contact of AC contactor KM1 (65) opens, the rotary motor M1 (1) stops, and the electric push rod (4) retracts. The cutting tool (3) is moved away from the coconut. The stepper motor controller (53) and the stepper motor driver (52) receive the signal from the PLC (45) and control the stepper motor M4 (10) to rotate forward, so that the lead screw (70) rotates and drives the gripper (17) forward. The coil of the intermediate relay KA9 (59) is energized, so that the solenoid valve YV5 (14) works to control the gripper opening and closing cylinder (16) to open the gripper (17). After 2 seconds, the coil of the intermediate relay KA7 (61) is energized, so that the solenoid valve YV3 (12) works to control the gripper lifting cylinder (9) to lower the gripper (17). When the gripper (17) touches the limit switch ST1 (8) at the front limit, the limit switch ST1 (8) is activated, and the PLC (45) sends a stop signal to the stepper motor controller (53) and the stepper motor driver (52). The stepper motor M4 (10) stops rotating forward. At this time, the intermediate relay KA7 (61) stops rotating forward. 10 (58) When the coil is energized, the solenoid valve YV6 (15) operates, controlling the jaw opening and closing cylinder (16) to close the jaw (17), gripping the coconut after the sides and top have been cut. One second later, the coil of the intermediate relay KA6 (62) is energized, causing the solenoid valve YV2 (7) to operate, controlling the clamping cylinder (5) to retract the clamping cylinder manipulator (69). Two seconds later, the coil of the intermediate relay KA8 (60) is energized, causing the solenoid valve YV4 (13) to operate, controlling the jaw lifting cylinder (9) to raise the jaw (17), removing the coconut from the rotating nail plate (2). The stepper motor... The machine controller (53) and the stepper motor driver (52) receive the signal from the PLC (45) and control the stepper motor M4 (10) to reverse, causing the lead screw (70) to rotate and drive the gripper (17) and coconut to move backward. After moving backward for 3 seconds, the coil of the intermediate relay KA2 (49) is energized, which energizes the coil of the AC contactor KM2 (64). The normally open contact of the AC contactor KM2 (64) closes, and the band saw motor M2 (18) runs, driving the band saw (19) to rotate. After 2 seconds, the coil of the intermediate relay KA7 (61) is energized, which makes the solenoid valve YV3 (12) work. The gripper lifting cylinder (9) moves to lower the gripper (17), bringing the bottom of the coconut close to the band saw (19). The stepper motor M4 (10) continues to reverse, and the gripper (17) grips the coconut and continues to move backward. Under the rotation of the band saw (19), the bottom of the coconut is cut. When the gripper (17) touches the limit switch ST2 (11) at the rear limit, the limit switch ST2 (11) is activated. The coil of the intermediate relay KA2 (49) is de-energized, causing the coil of the AC contactor KM2 (64) to de-energize. The normally open contact of the AC contactor KM2 (64) is opened, and the band saw motor M2 (18) is activated. Stop. The PLC (45) sends a stop signal to the stepper motor controller (53) and the stepper motor driver (52). The stepper motor M4 (10) stops. The coil of the intermediate relay KA9 (59) is energized, which makes the solenoid valve YV5 (14) work to control the gripper opening and closing cylinder (16) to open the gripper (17) and place the processed coconut at the discharge port. After 2 seconds, the coil of the intermediate relay KA8 (60) is energized, which makes the solenoid valve YV4 (13) work to control the gripper lifting cylinder (9) to raise the gripper (17) and retract it, completing one automatic coconut processing cycle.
