[0032] The detection mechanism 300 is disposed above the conveying mechanism 200 and is used to identify the segment boundaries of the citrus fruits on the tray 500;

[0033] The petal separation mechanism 100 is disposed above the tray 500 and has a plurality of separation blades 130. The lifting assembly 400 is used to drive the citrus on the tray 500 to rise so that the plurality of separation blades 130 on the petal separation mechanism 100 can perform a one-time petal separation operation on the citrus that has completed the identification of the dividing lines of the citrus segments.

[0034] The present invention positions the citrus fruits by means of a tray 500, the conveying mechanism 200 first transfers the tray 500 loaded with the citrus fruits to the detection mechanism 300 for visual inspection, after the detection mechanism 300 identifies the segment dividing line of the citrus fruits on the tray 500, the conveying mechanism 200 then transfers the citrus fruits loaded with the inspection to directly below the segmenting mechanism 100, the lifting assembly 400 drives the citrus fruits on the tray 500 to rise so that the citrus fruits and the separation blades 130 move relative to each other, the citrus fruits whose segment dividing lines have been identified are segmented once by means of a plurality of separation blades 130 on the segmenting mechanism 100, the segmenting mechanism 100 can rotate the separation blades 130 to the corresponding segment dividing line, thereby improving the existing segmenting method of the citrus fruits, realizing a one-time segmenting process of the citrus fruits, and improving the segmenting efficiency; at the same time, the present invention can also be applied to the segmenting process of the citrus fruits of different sizes and properties, and has a wide range of applications.

[0035] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 200 includes a conveying frame, a driving shaft 201 is provided on both sides of the conveying frame, a sprocket 202 is provided on the driving shaft 201, the two sprockets 202 are connected by a chain conveyor belt 203, the mounting frame 205 is provided on the chain plate on the chain conveyor belt 203, one of the two driving shafts 201 is drivingly connected to a conveying motor 204, and the conveying motor 204 drives the sprocket 202 on the driving shaft 201 to rotate intermittently to intermittently convey the citrus on the tray 500.

[0036] Specifically, the conveying motor 204 drives the sprocket 202 on the driving shaft 201 to rotate intermittently, which can be achieved by adopting the groove wheel transmission, motor control and other technologies in the existing structure, so that the conveying motor 204 drives the chain conveyor belt 203 to rotate to intermittently convey the citrus on the tray 500. The citrus is transmitted by the chain conveyor belt 203, so that manual feeding and machine petal separation can be carried out at the same time, which further improves the work efficiency.

[0038] Specifically, each separation blade 130 moves to align at the position of each orange segment dividing line, and the lifting motor 403 drives the screw module 402 to move the tray 500 on the driving seat 404 upward, so that the cutting edge of the bottom surface of the separation cutter 133 cuts the orange segment dividing line, thereby improving the existing segmenting method, realizing a one-time segmenting process for citrus, and effectively reducing the breakage rate, defective rate, and double petal rate.

[0040] Specifically, the peeled citrus is placed on the support base 502, and the hole in the middle of the citrus is inserted into the positioning rod 503 at the center point of the support base 502. The arc-shaped supporting surface 505 on the support plate 504 provides bottom support for the citrus, effectively preventing the citrus from shaking, and effectively preventing damage to the citrus petals caused by the shaking of the tray 500, thereby reducing the risk of damage and improving the accuracy of petal separation.

[0041] Furthermore, the detection mechanism 300 includes a detection frame, on which a detection camera 301 is disposed. The detection camera 301 is disposed above the tray 500 , and the detection camera 301 is used to perform visual inspection of the citrus to identify the segment boundary.

[0042] Specifically, the detection camera 301 is an existing industrial camera, and the visual detection algorithm it adopts is also an existing technology. The detection camera 301 is used to capture citrus images and transmit the images to the detection controller. Since the segment dividing line of the citrus is a brighter white, while other places are orange-red, the segment dividing line position can be obtained through binarization, and the rotation angle required for the segment separating blade 130 is calculated. Each segment separating blade 130 moves to the position of each segment dividing line to align, thereby improving the accuracy of segmenting and reducing damage.

[0043] Furthermore, the petal separation mechanism 100 includes a fixed frame 101 and a separation component 120, and a driving component 110 is provided on the fixed frame 101. The driving component 110 is driven and connected to the separation component 120, and multiple separation blades 130 are all provided on the separation component 120. The driving component 110 drives the multiple separation blades 130 on the separation component 120 to move to each orange segment dividing line position.

[0044] Specifically, a plurality of separation blades 130 are provided on the separation component 120. The driving component 110 drives the plurality of separation blades 130 on the separation component 120 to move to each segment dividing line position, and can rotate the segmenting separation blades 130 to the corresponding segment dividing line, thereby realizing one-time segmentation of citrus and improving segmentation efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, the separation component 120 includes a plurality of separation cylinders 121, and the plurality of separation cylinders 121 are nested together through bearings 122. The inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing 122 are respectively connected to the outer wall and the inner wall of two adjacent separation cylinders 121, and the heights of adjacent separation cylinders 121 are different, so that a driving part 117 is formed on the upper part of the separation cylinder 121, and the driving component 110 is drivingly connected to the driving part 117. The separation blade 130 is arranged at the bottom of the separation cylinder 121, and the separation cylinder 121 is driven to rotate by the driving component 110 to adjust the position of the separation blade 130 thereon.

[0046] Specifically, multiple separation cylinders 121 are nested together through bearings 122, and the inner ring and outer ring of the bearing 122 are respectively connected to the outer wall and inner wall of two adjacent separation cylinders 121 to form a petal separation component with a multiple gear train structure. Each separation cylinder 121 can rotate independently without affecting each other. The separation cylinders 121 are driven to rotate by the driving component 110 to adjust the position of the separation blades 130 thereon, so that citrus fruits of different sizes and properties can achieve better petal separation effects. The applicability is strong, the accuracy of petal separation is improved, damage is reduced, and a better petal separation effect is achieved.

[0047] Furthermore, the driving assembly 110 includes a driving frame 111, on which a plurality of bearing 122 seats 113 are provided, and the bearing 122 seats 113 are provided with an output shaft 114, and the output shaft 114 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the separation cylinder 121, and a driving gear 115 is arranged on the output shaft 114, and a driven gear 116 is arranged on the driving portion 117 of the separation cylinder 121, and the driving gear 115 is meshed with the driven gear 116, and a plurality of driving motors 112 are provided on the driving frame 111, and the driving motors 112 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the output shaft 114, and the driving motors 112 are drivingly connected to the output shaft 114, and the driving motor 112 drives the output shaft 114 to drive the separation cylinder 121 connected to the driven gear 116 to rotate.

[0048] Specifically, the driving motor 112 and the output shaft 114 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, the output shaft 114 and the separation cylinder 121 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, the driving gear 115 is meshed with the driven gear 116, and the driving motor 112 drives the output shaft 114 to drive the separation cylinder 121 connected to the driven gear 116 to rotate. Multiple driving motors 112 are driven, and each driving motor 112 is connected to a separation cylinder 121 and a separation blade 130. The rotation of the separation blade 130 is controlled by adjusting the rotation angle of the separation cylinder 121. Citrus with various numbers of segments can be processed, so that citrus with different sizes and properties can achieve better segmentation effect, and it has strong applicability.

[0049] Furthermore, the separation blade 130 includes a cutting frame 131 and a separation cutter 133. One end of the cutting frame 131 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the separation cylinder 121. A support rod 132 is vertically arranged on the cutting frame 131. The separation cutter 133 is vertically arranged on the support rod 132. The bottom surface of the separation cutter 133 is provided with a cutting edge.

[0050] Specifically, a support rod 132 is vertically arranged on the cutting frame 131, and the separation cutter 133 is vertically arranged on the support rod 132, so that the separation blade 130 has a U-shaped structure, which can minimize the space occupied by the separation blade 130, facilitate the adjustment and movement space of each separation blade 130, improve the alignment accuracy of the separation blade 130 with each orange segment dividing line, improve the accuracy of segmentation, reduce damage, and have a better segmentation effect.

[0051] Furthermore, there are support rods 132 and cutting racks 131 of different lengths between adjacent separation blades 130, so that adjacent separation blades 130 are fitted together; the separation cutters 133 on each separation blade 130 are arranged to form a circle, and the point of the circle is located directly above the center point of the tray 500 when the citrus is segmented.

[0052] Specifically, each separation assembly 120 generally includes 8-12 separation cylinders 121. The specific number of separation cylinders 121 is not limited to the above 8-12 limit, and its number can be determined according to different citrus varieties. The corresponding 8-12 separation cylinders 121 can be equipped with 8-12 separation blades 130. If the number of separation blades 130 is greater than the number of citrus segments, the drive motor 112 drives the output shaft 114 to drive the separation blades 130 on the separation cylinder 121 to rotate. Since there are support rods 132 and cutting racks 131 of different lengths between adjacent separation blades 130, the support rods 132 and cutting racks 131 on adjacent separation blades 130 can avoid each other, and the redundant separation blades 130 can be attached to one of the separation blades 130. The citrus segments are separated by attaching two separation blades 130 together, so that citrus segments with various numbers of segments can be processed.

[0053] The separation cutters 133 on each separation blade 130 are arranged to form a circle. When the citrus is segmented, the point of the circle is located directly above the center point of the tray 500. When the citrus is moved to the bottom of the separation component 120, the point of the circle is directly above the positioning rod 503, which can ensure that the separation cutter 133 completely cuts the citrus segments and can achieve a better segmentation effect with strong applicability. The vertical projection area of ​​each support rod 132 is on the cross section of the positioning rod 503, ensuring that the separation cutter 133 cuts and segments each citrus segment at the dividing line.

[0054] Usage process

The arc-shaped supporting surface 505 on the support plate 504 supports the citrus from the bottom. The conveying motor 204 drives the sprocket 202 on the drive shaft 201 to rotate intermittently to intermittently convey the citrus on the tray 500. The citrus is first conveyed to the bottom of the detection camera 301. After the detection camera 301 visually inspects the citrus to identify the dividing line of the tangerine segments, the conveying motor 204 drives the sprocket 202 on the drive shaft 201 to rotate intermittently to continue conveying the citrus on the tray 500 to the bottom of the separation component 120, and the drive The driving motor 112 drives the output shaft 114 to rotate to drive the separation cylinder 121 connected to the driven gear 116, so that each separation cylinder 121 rotates to adjust the position of the separation blade 130 thereon, and each separation blade 130 is moved to align at the position of each orange segment dividing line. The lifting motor 403 drives the screw module 402 to move the tray 500 on the driving seat 404 upward, so that the cutting edge of the bottom surface of the separation cutter 133 cuts the orange segment dividing line to separate the segments, thereby improving the existing segmenting method and realizing a one-time segmenting process of citrus.
