Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural product sorting, in particular to a device for sorting taro. Background Art

[0002] Taro is a crop grown in my country. It has spherical tubers that are edible, can be used as soup, or as a grain substitute or to make starch. In addition to species, taro is also graded based on the size of the tuber. Therefore, it is necessary to store and sell tubers of different sizes separately to obtain better economic value. The traditional method of taro sorting is manual sorting, which has low sorting efficiency, high labor requirements, and high labor intensity for workers. With the increasingly expensive labor costs today, it is no longer in line with the trend of development.

[0003] Taro is a relatively large taro with a relatively regular shape, generally an oval shape. There are generally several requirements for taro sorting, such as size and appearance. Therefore, during the sorting process, (1) observe the integrity and size of the taro. The larger the taro head, the better. Its quality and grade are often proportional to its size. However, as its size increases, its appearance is more easily damaged. Therefore, there is another requirement that its appearance should be free of scratches, which means that the integrity of the taro head should be maintained. (2) Check the weight of the taro. Generally speaking, the larger the taro, the better the quality. For taro heads of the same size, weigh them. The lighter the taro, the higher its starch content and the more glutinous it tastes. The heavier the taro, the more water it contains, and the taste and flavor are not as good as the lighter ones. Therefore, the most undesirable are those small and heavy taro. Utility Model Content

[0030] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a device for sorting taro 5 includes a set of first conveying devices 1, four sets of second conveying devices, a first receiving frame 6, a second receiving frame 11, an inclined plate 8, a controller and a pushing structure;

[0031] from Figure 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the first conveying device 1 includes a first conveyor belt 424 and an intelligent identification instrument 2. A hopper 3 is provided at one end of the first conveyor belt 424. The taro 5 is first placed in the hopper 3. The bottom of the hopper 3 is just opposite to the end of the first conveyor belt 424. A small opening is provided on one side of the bottom of the hopper 3. The size of the small opening is larger than the size of the largest taro 5 and smaller than twice the size of the smallest taro 5. In this way, it can be ensured that each time the conveyor belt can only bring out one taro 5 from the bottom of the hopper 3; an intelligent identification instrument 2 is provided directly above and below the first conveyor belt 424, and the two intelligent identification instruments 2 are directly opposite to each other. The first conveyor belt 424 is driven by a first motor 41, which is a stepping motor; four inclined plates 8 and a first material receiving frame 6 are provided on one side of the first conveying device 1. The first material receiving frame 6 is used to collect defective taro 5; five pushing structures are provided on the other side of the first conveying device 1; the five pushing structures are arranged in sequence, and the pushing direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 424. In addition, as Figure 3As shown, the first conveyor belt 424 is in a porous grid shape, and the aperture of the grid shape is not greater than half of the minimum size of the taro 5. The conveyor belt is used to convey the taro 5, which can ensure that the taro 5 can be stably placed on the mesh and will not cause the taro 5 to move relatively on the conveyor belt during the conveying process of the first conveyor belt 424; in the first conveying device 1, the pushing structure includes a telescopic motor 7 and a push plate 71, and the push plate 71 is fixed at the front end of the telescopic motor 7, and the position of each pushing structure corresponds to each inclined plate 8 and the bad product frame one by one.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the second conveying device includes a second conveyor belt 12, an electronic scale 9 and an arc-shaped material tray 10, the arc-shaped material tray 10 is fixedly placed on the electronic scale 9, and taro 5 is placed in the arc-shaped material tray 10; the electronic scale 9 is fixed on the surface of the second conveyor belt 12; a second material receiving frame 11 is provided on one side of the second conveying device, and the second material receiving frame 11 is divided into four weight classification frames connected in sequence, and four pushing structures are provided on the other side of the second conveying device; the second conveying device includes a second conveyor belt 12, an electronic scale 9 and an arc-shaped material tray 10, the arc-shaped material tray 10 is fixedly placed on the electronic scale 9, and taro 5 is placed in the arc-shaped material tray 10; the electronic scale 9 is fixed on the surface of the second conveyor belt 12; a second material receiving frame 11 is provided on one side of the second conveying device, and the second material receiving frame 11 is divided into four weight classification frames connected in sequence, and four pushing structures are provided on the other side of the second conveying device; in the second conveying device, the pushing structure includes a telescopic motor 7 and a push plate 71, and the push plate 71 is fixed at the front end of the telescopic motor 7, and the position of each pushing structure corresponds to the position of each weight classification frame.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to realize automatic sorting, in the first conveying device 1, the other side of the first conveying device 1 corresponding to the position of each pushing structure is correspondingly installed with an inclined plate 8, and the first conveying device 1 is connected to the second conveying device through the inclined plate 8; the taro 5 is first sorted by the first conveying device 1 and the pushing structure for size and whether it is defective, and then the good products of different sizes are pushed by the pushing structures at different positions and roll along the inclined plate 8 to the corresponding arc-shaped material tray 10 of the second conveying device. The conveying motor on the second conveying device is a stepping motor, which can ensure that the arc-shaped material tray 10 receives the material at the corresponding position and is pushed by the pushing structure at the corresponding sorting position, so that the pushing structure pushes the taro 5 out.

[0034] In order to effectively carry out the degree of automation, the intelligent identification instrument 2 and the electronic scale 9 in the present device are respectively connected to the external computer through the controller, and the telescopic motor 7 in the pushing structure is connected to the external computer through the controller. After the computer receives the corresponding signal, it compares it through the recognition software in the computer, and sends instructions to the outside to drive the corresponding structure to perform the corresponding sorting work, thereby ensuring that the sorting work is carried out automatically and orderly.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to smoothly push the taro 5 from the first conveyor belt 424 to the arc-shaped tray 10 of the second conveyor, an inclined plate 8 is installed between the two, the highest edge of the inclined plate 8 is close to the side of the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and the lowest edge of the inclined plate 8 is close to the highest edge of the arc-shaped tray 10 on the second conveyor belt 12. Even if the taro 5 rolls from the inclined plate 8 to the arc-shaped tray 10, it will roll back and forth, and under the action of the maximum gravity, it will slowly return to the bottom center of the arc-shaped tray 10 along both sides of the arc-shaped tray 10.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the second conveyor belt 12 is fixedly connected to the electronic scale 9, and the electronic scale 9 is conveyed together with the conveyor belt. The middle position of the bottom of the electronic scale 9 is laterally fixedly linearly connected to the surface of the second conveyor belt 12, and other positions of the bottom of the electronic scale 9 are not fixed to the surface of the second conveyor belt 12, to ensure that the electronic scale 9 is not stuck when being conveyed to the bearings at both ends or the conveying motor position, and at the same time, the electronic scale 9 can be smoothly turned on the second conveyor belt 12 and conveyed to the bottom of the conveying device.

[0038] Furthermore, in the present invention, the intelligent recognition device 2 is provided with a camera and a data transmission terminal to transmit corresponding data to an external computer.
