DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] Embodiment: In an orchard environment, a Mecanum wheel is configured at the bottom of the picking platform to realize left and right movement control of the detection platform. When the detection platform enters an orchard with small plant spacing, it is not necessary to frequently reverse and adjust the posture of the detection platform.

[0034] First, the reduction motor is started. The reduction motor includes a coupling and a pulley. The pulley on the reduction motor drives the guide wheel to rotate through the belt. After the robot arm identifies the apples, it puts them into the feed port. At this time, the guide wheel transfers some apples to the screening stage to achieve the purpose of quantitative input.

[0035] The vibration screening device has a certain inclination angle with the horizontal direction to realize automatic screening of apples. The vibration screening device includes a first-class fruit screening plate 21, a second-class fruit screening plate 22, and a third-class fruit screening plate 23. The three screening plates are arranged in parallel from top to bottom. The shape of the screen holes is oblong, which provides enough environment for apples to pass through. When apples enter the first-class fruit screening plate 21, apples smaller than the width of the screen holes will fall into the second-class fruit screening plate 2. The same method is used to perform two more screenings to separate the first, second, and third-class fruits from the inferior fruits. The separated inferior fruits fall into the inferior fruit collection box 25 at the bottom. When the box is full, it can be drawn out from the detection platform and replaced with an empty inferior fruit collection box. The remaining apples enter the transmission device by gravity.

[0036] The transmission mechanism includes three groups of spiral transmission devices and a reduction motor b34. The first-class fruit transmission spiral group 31, the second-class fruit transmission spiral group 32, and the third-class fruit transmission spiral group 33 include a driving screw 311, a driven screw 312, a belt 313, and a spiral transmission chain 314. The driving screw 311 and the driven screw 312 are connected to the spur gears using a flat key. The driving screw 311 transmits power to the driven screw 312 through the external meshing of the two spur gears. The reduction motor b34 drives the pulley through the belt 313. The transmission shaft transmits power to the driving screw 311 through the sprocket. The spiral transmission chain 314 rotates around the driving screw 311. The spur gear 315 and the pulley 317 rotate for one circle; the belt 313 rotates around the pulley 317 where the first-class fruit transmission shaft 35 is located, the pulley 317 where the second-class fruit transmission shaft 36 is located, and the pulley 317 where the third-class fruit transmission shaft 37 is located; the reduction motor b34 drives one of the pulleys 317 to rotate; the pulley 317 drives the first-class fruit transmission shaft 35, the second-class fruit transmission shaft 36, and the third-class fruit transmission shaft 37 to rotate to provide motive force for each group of spiral transmission devices; the active screw 311 and the driven screw 312 rotate counterclockwise at the same time to give the apple a forward force to transmit the apple to the visual discharging device 5.

[0037] The visual discharging device 5 includes a visual inspection device 51, a plucking device 52, a good fruit outlet 53 and a bad fruit outlet 54. The visual inspection device 51 detects surface defects of apples transported by the power mechanism, including surface defects of first-class apples, surface defects of second-class apples and surface defects of third-class apples; a fixed bracket is fixed to the frame for the installation of the visual inspection device 51. The inspection process of the visual inspection device 51 is as follows, and the main technology uses YOLOV8, which has both good real-time detection and high accuracy.

[0038] The paddle device 52 includes a paddle control cabinet 521, a paddle support shaft 522 and a paddle 523; the paddle 523 is driven by a stepper motor, and the paddle 523 is used to cooperate with the visual inspection device 51 to control the discharging direction of good and bad apples, and the discharging housing is used to guide the apples transported by the power mechanism to flow to the non-defective fruit discharging port and the defective fruit discharging port. The collection box is used to collect first to third grade apples with or without defects.

[0039] The above-mentioned multi-task agricultural apple quality sorting machine according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0040] After harvesting, apples enter the feeding device from the feeding port. The feeding device is controlled by a reduction motor and can quantitatively transport apples to the vibrating screening device. The vibrating screening device uses rubber material and horizontal vibration force to achieve non-destructive and unobstructed classification of apples from top to bottom through the sieve holes into first, second and third grades. Apples with a diameter smaller than that of third-grade fruits are collected by the collection box directly below through the third-grade fruit sieve holes. After being screened by the screening plate, the transmission device uses a spiral transmission method to realize orderly and constant-speed linear transportation of apples to the visual device. After visual non-destructive detection of apple surface defects, the discharging device controls the paddle to divert good and bad fruits to the designated exit, and finally collects them in the container.
