Detailed Implementation

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0017] First Embodiment

[0018] Please see Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an automatic waste removal device for processing nutritional foods according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an automatic waste removal device for processing nutritional food according to this utility model.

[0019] This utility model provides an automatic rejection device for nutritional food processing: it includes a mounting frame 101 and a rejection assembly 102. The rejection assembly 102 includes a controller 103, a support 104, a conveyor 105, a limiting component 106, a camera 107, a cylinder 108, a push plate 109, a limiting plate 110, an electric telescopic rod 111, an inclined plate 112, a vertical plate 113, a collection box 114, rollers 115, an inclined block 116, and a whiteboard 117. This solution solves the problem that in existing canned food production processes, some cans have deformed or irregular openings, which do not meet subsequent packaging requirements. The current method of screening typically relies on manual inspection, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0020] In this embodiment, the conveyor 105 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101 and located inside the mounting frame 101; the bracket 104 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101 and located at the top of the mounting frame 101; the cylinder 108 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101 and located on one side of the bracket 104; the push plate 109 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 108 and located on one side of the cylinder 108; the camera 107 is fixedly connected to the bracket 104 and located at the top of the bracket 104; the controller 103 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101 and located outside the mounting frame 101; and the limiting member 106 is connected to the mounting frame 101. The product to be inspected is placed on the conveyor 105 in an arithmetic sequence on one side of the mounting frame 101. During the conveying process, the camera 107 takes pictures for inspection. When a defective product is detected, the cylinder 108 drives the push plate 109 to push the defective product out of the device. The push plate 109 has an arc-shaped design for easy pushing. The limiting member 106 is used to limit the position of the product on both sides during the conveying process, ensuring that the product is kept in the center for easy shooting by the camera 107. This solves the problem that in the production and processing of existing canned food cans, some can mouths are deformed and irregular, which do not meet the requirements for subsequent packaging. The existing screening usually uses manual inspection, which leads to low work efficiency.

[0021] The limiting component 106 includes a limiting plate 110 and an electric telescopic rod 111. The electric telescopic rod 111 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101 and located at the top of the mounting frame 101. The limiting plate 110 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 111 and located on one side of the electric telescopic rod 111. Two sets of electric telescopic rods 111 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the mounting frame 101. The electric telescopic rod 111 controls the movement of the limiting plate 110, limiting the conveyed product to ensure that the product is centered and convenient for the camera 107 to capture images.

[0022] Secondly, the rejection assembly 102 also includes an inclined plate 112 and an upright plate 113. The inclined plate 112 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 101 and is located on one side of the mounting frame 101. The upright plate 113 is fixedly connected to the inclined plate 112 and is located on top of the inclined plate 112. The inclined plate 112 facilitates the discharge of materials, and the upright plate 113 prevents products from falling off the sides of the inclined plate 112 during the discharge process.

[0023] Furthermore, the rejection assembly 102 also includes a collection box 114 and rollers 115. The collection box 114 is disposed at the bottom of the inclined plate 112, and the rollers 115 are rotatably connected to the collection box 114 and located at the bottom of the collection box 114. The collection box 114 is used to collect discharged defective products, and the rollers 115 reduce the friction between the collection box 114 and the placement surface, facilitating the movement of the collection box 114.

[0024] Finally, the rejection assembly 102 also includes a ramp 116 and a whiteboard 117. The ramp 116 is slidably connected to the collection box 114 and located inside the collection box 114. The whiteboard 117 is fixedly connected to the collection box 114 and located outside the collection box 114. The ramp 116 tilts the bottom of the inner side of the collection box 114 to prevent defective products entering the collection box 114 from accumulating in one place and affecting the collection quantity. The whiteboard 117 is used to record the batch data of the collection.

[0025] When using the automatic rejection device for nutritional food processing according to this utility model, the products to be inspected are placed on the conveyor 105 in an arithmetic sequence and conveyed. During the conveying process, the camera 107 takes pictures for inspection. When a defective product is detected, the cylinder 108 drives the push plate 109 to push the defective product out of the device. The push plate 109 has an arc-shaped design for easy pushing. The limiting member 106 is used to limit the position of the product on both sides during the conveying process, ensuring that the product remains in the center position for easy shooting by the camera 107. This solves the problem that in the production and processing of existing canned food cans, some can mouths are deformed and irregular, which do not meet the requirements for subsequent packaging. The existing screening usually uses manual inspection, which leads to low work efficiency.

[0026] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of an automatic waste removal device for processing nutritional foods according to the present invention. Of course, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope of the present invention.
