Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technology belongs to the field of fruit sorting, and mainly relates to a single-angle image acquisition device for green plum fruits. Background Art

[0002] Greengage, also known as sour plum, is a tree native to China and is one of my country's specialty fruits. Greengage fruit is small in size and has high nutritional value, but the current processing technology and comprehensive utilization rate of greengage in my country are relatively low, which seriously restricts the production level of my country's fruits.

[0003] In recent years, machine vision technology, near-infrared spectroscopy and multi-spectral technology have been gradually applied to non-destructive testing of fruits. In project pre-research, cameras are often used to collect surface information of green plums, and then the surface quality of green plums is matched with physical and chemical indicators. In actual experiments, it is often necessary to collect multiple surface images of a fruit to expand the sample size. However, since green plums are small and the vertical distance between the camera and the operating table is small, it is troublesome for the experimenter to manually rotate the green plums, and the green plums must be repositioned to the camera imaging area after rotation. Although the existing multiple plane mirrors can collect fruit images at the same time, they can collect multi-angle images of the fruit at the same time, but the multi-angle images collected are in one picture at the same time, and the later data segmentation processing is difficult, which greatly increases the workload of this process. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present technology is to provide a single-angle image acquisition device for green plums in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art.

The plane mirror 7 is composed of a plane mirror 1 7-2 and a plane mirror 2 7-1.

[0034] Electromagnet fixing devices are provided on the upper left and upper right sides of the stage 8. The top of the electromagnet fixing device on the upper left side is connected to the left side of the camera fixing bracket 3 and the bottom end is connected to the electromagnet 6. The top of the electromagnet fixing device on the upper right side is connected to the right side of the camera fixing bracket 3 and the bottom end is connected to the electromagnet 6. The electromagnet 6 is used to attract the stage 8 on the rotating device.

[0035] A hole 2 is provided in the middle of the camera fixing bracket 3 , and the camera 1 is arranged in the hole 2 .

[0036] The electromagnet fixing device includes an electromagnet fixing plate 4 and two electromagnet brackets 5. The electromagnet fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the camera fixing bracket 3. The top ends of the two electromagnet brackets 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the electromagnet fixing plate 4 and are symmetrically distributed. The bottom ends of the two electromagnet brackets 5 are fixedly connected with electromagnets 6.

[0037] The electromagnet bracket 5 is V-shaped, and the bottom end of the electromagnet bracket 5 points to the loading platform 8 at the lower middle part of the camera fixing bracket 3 .

[0038] The rotating device includes two rotating brackets 10 , and the front side and the rear side of the middle part of the camera fixing bracket 3 are both rotatably connected with the rotating brackets 10 , and the bottom of the two rotating brackets 10 is fixedly connected with the loading platform 8 .

[0039] The rotating device also includes a motor (not shown in the figure), and the front and rear sides of the middle part of the camera fixing bracket 3 are both provided with connecting ears 12.

[0040] When the device is not working, such as Figure 6As shown in (a) and 6 (b), the stage 8 is directly below the camera 1, and a green plum fruit is placed on it (the green plum 9 and the stage 8 remain relatively still). At this time, image information of the upper surface of the green plum 9 can be collected; when the camera 1 completes the collection of the upper surface image of the green plum 9, the device starts to work, and the motor drives the rotating bracket 10 to rotate 30° to the left. The left end of the stage 8 is made of metal material. The electromagnet 6 at the left end is energized at this time, so that the entire rotating bracket 10 is fixed at a left tilt of 30°.
