Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili pepper color sorting technology, and more specifically to an automatic chili pepper color sorting machine for rejecting defective products. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous economic development and improved living standards, people are paying more attention to their diet, with chili peppers being an indispensable food. Chili pepper color sorters are used to classify chili peppers for better processing. Currently, the market uses either manual separation or chili pepper color sorters for separation. Chili pepper color sorters utilize real-time image comparison system software and AI-powered precise calculations to set parameters for the machine, allowing it to operate according to preset requirements. They employ a true-color, full-color, high-speed industrial camera for color recognition, and an air compressor sorts the chili peppers as they pass through the color sorter.

[0003] Currently, chili color sorters are generally used by conveyor belts to transport chilies to the sorter for screening. When the amount of chilies fed is large, the chilies tend to accumulate on the conveyor belt because the sorting speed of the color sorter and the conveyor belt speed are both constant. When the chilies that have accumulated together enter the color sorter, they will affect the machine's screening effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic chili color sorter that removes defective chilies, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when the amount of chilies fed is large, the chilies on the conveyor belt tend to accumulate because the color sorting speed of the color sorter and the conveyor belt speed are constant.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic chili pepper color sorting machine for rejecting defective peppers, including a guide frame. The guide frame is inclined, and a feeding hopper is fixedly installed at the upper end of the guide frame. L-shaped fixing plates are installed on both sides of the guide frame. Two support columns slide through the upper part of each of the two L-shaped fixing plates. The four support columns are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the guide frame. A vibration motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide frame. A pushing mechanism for smoothing the peppers is installed on the guide frame. The pushing mechanism includes a U-shaped plate, which is fixedly installed at the upper end of the guide frame. An electric push rod is fixedly installed at the top of the U-shaped plate. The output end of the electric push rod passes through the U-shaped plate and is fixedly installed with a sleeve. A pushing block is installed at the bottom of the sleeve. A conveyor belt is installed on the side of the guide frame away from the feeding hopper, and the color sorting machine body is installed on the conveyor belt.

[0006] By adopting the above solution, the electric push rod drives the sleeve to move downward, and the sleeve drives the pusher block to move downward. By adjusting the height of the pusher block, the pusher block blocks the piled-up chilies, smooths out the chilies on the surface of the guide frame, and makes the chilies spread evenly on the surface of the guide frame, thus avoiding the accumulation of chilies and effectively avoiding affecting the screening effect of the machine, thereby improving the working efficiency of the chili color sorter.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a feeding cylinder is fixedly provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper, and a gap is left between the bottom end of the feeding cylinder and the surface of the guide frame.

[0008] By adopting the above method, the chili peppers are poured into the feeding hopper, and the chili peppers fall onto the surface of the guide frame through the feeding cylinder. When the chili peppers on the surface of the guide frame do not move downwards, the feeding of chili peppers in the feeding cylinder stops.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a plurality of first springs are fixedly provided on the inner side of the sleeve, and the top of the pusher block extends into the sleeve and is fixed to the plurality of first springs.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the pusher block can float up and down due to the elastic force of the first spring, thus avoiding excessive compression of the chili peppers.

[0011] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the end of the two pillars away from the guide frame, and the connecting plate connects the two pillars.

[0012] By adopting the above solution, the two pillars are connected by a connecting plate, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0013] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a second spring is sleeved on the outer side of the support column, and the two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the L-shaped fixing plate and the outer wall of the guide frame, respectively.

[0014] By adopting the above scheme, the elastic force of the second spring keeps the guide frame at a stable vibration frequency, thus preventing the guide frame from vibrating and shifting.

[0015] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the bottom end of the guide frame extends to the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and a guide block is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the guide frame.

[0016] By adopting the above solution, the chili peppers on the surface of the guide frame slowly slide down to the surface of the conveyor belt, and the guide blocks prevent the chili peppers from falling off.

[0017] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a collection box is provided at the end of the conveyor belt, and the color sorter body is located on the conveyor belt near the collection box.

[0018] By adopting the above scheme, substandard peppers are removed by the color sorter itself, and the sorted peppers are collected by the collection box.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This automatic chili pepper sorting machine for rejecting defective peppers uses a pushing mechanism. An electric push rod drives a sleeve to move downwards, which in turn moves a pushing block downwards. By adjusting the height of the pushing block, the machine blocks the accumulated peppers, smoothing out the peppers on the surface of the guide frame and preventing them from piling up. This effectively avoids affecting the machine's sorting effect and improves the working efficiency of the chili pepper sorting machine. Attached Figure Description

When the electric push rod 62 is activated, it drives the sleeve 63 to move downward, which in turn drives the pushing block 64 to move downward. By adjusting the height of the pushing block 64, the pushing block 64 blocks the piled-up chili peppers, smoothing the chili peppers on the surface of the guide frame 1 and making them spread evenly on the surface of the guide frame 1, thus preventing the chili peppers from piling up. Multiple first springs 65 are fixedly installed inside the sleeve 63, and the top of the pushing block 64 extends into the sleeve 63. The material is fixed to multiple first springs 65. The elastic force of the first springs 65 allows the pusher block 64 to float up and down, avoiding excessive compression of the chili peppers. A conveyor belt 7 is set on the side of the guide frame 1 away from the feeding hopper 2. The bottom end of the guide frame 1 extends to the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7. A guide block 11 is fixedly set on the bottom end of the guide frame 1. The chili peppers on the surface of the guide frame 1 slowly slide down to the surface of the conveyor belt 7. The guide block 11 prevents the chili peppers from falling. A color sorter body 8 is set on the conveyor belt 7.
