Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food packaging detection, and in particular to a packaged food sorting device equipped with a multi-view imaging processing system. Background Art

[0002] Food that has been plastic-sealed is generally tested for quality before it leaves the factory. The test items include whether there is air leakage, whether the food inside is damaged, and whether there are foreign objects or impurities inside. For foreign objects such as metal, glass, ceramics, stones, bones, plastics, etc. contained in plastic-sealed food, the general detection method and means is X-ray detection. However, foreign objects that are similar to the material of the food, or if the food in the plastic-sealed package is damaged (such as bursting, cracking, etc.), X-ray detection technology cannot detect them. At this time, this type of quality defect can only be detected by human eyes or by machine vision image detection technology.

[0003] Manual inspection with the naked eye is often labor-intensive, and after working for a long time, the human eye will become fatigued, resulting in a decrease in sorting accuracy and efficiency. The use of machine vision image inspection technology is an effective and reliable means, and it will not cause problems such as human eye fatigue and increased sorting errors due to long-term work.

[0004] For visual image detection of small or flat materials, in general, one visual camera can basically collect and obtain their key image information. However, for larger materials such as food packaging, which are usually three-dimensional, only one visual camera cannot obtain their complete feature information. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to install multiple visual cameras and shoot the materials from multiple angles to obtain image information of the materials in different directions, and then transmit it to the data processing system for combined recognition and analysis. The more visual cameras are installed, the more complex the system is, the higher the installation accuracy requirements and the greater the difficulty of adjustment, and the more difficult the image data processing is.

[0005] At the same time, for plastic-sealed foods, the plastic cover is usually printed with patterns and other information. It is a non-transparent surface, and the characteristic information of the food cannot be detected. Only the transparent cover can detect the characteristic information of the food. After the food is plastic-sealed, it usually goes through processes such as heat shrinkage and disinfection, and the orientation of the material becomes random. Visual image detection requires that the transparent cover of the plastic-sealed packaging material can only face the visual camera to meet the collection conditions, which places high demands on the arrangement of materials.

[0006] For plastic-sealed foods such as jelly, the shape is relatively regular and the plastic cover is small, so it is easy to shape them so that the transparent cover faces the same direction. However, for plastic-sealed foods such as boiled eggs and dried tofu, they are prone to curling and deformation after plastic sealing, making shaping very difficult. If the material cannot be effectively shaped so that the transparent cover faces the detection direction, the effectiveness of visual image detection will be greatly reduced.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a system that can realize the effective flipping, shaping and transmission of plastic-sealed materials, obtain complete image information of the material circumference with only two sets of cameras and reflectors for a single channel, and complete material detection, identification and sorting, thereby replacing manual sorting and improving sorting accuracy and output.
