Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic sorting of navel oranges, and in particular to an automatic sorting and packaging device for navel oranges. Background Art

[0002] As a popular fruit, navel oranges need to be sorted and packaged after picking to meet different market demands and standards. Traditionally, navel orange sorting and packaging mainly rely on manual operations, where workers observe the defects of navel oranges with their naked eyes. With the development of the times, high-precision image acquisition systems and optimized image recognition algorithms are used to achieve automatic sorting of navel oranges.

[0003] However, the existing related devices still have some deficiencies in structural design and functional realization, and it is difficult to meet the actual needs of efficient and accurate sorting and packaging. The first is the deficiency of image collection. Traditional image collection is to take pictures of navel oranges at multiple fixed side points, and then collect pictures. The collection is not comprehensive (the position where the navel orange contacts the conveying equipment is easily blocked, which can also be understood as the bottom of the navel orange), which can easily affect the subsequent sorting effect. It is inconvenient to turn over the navel orange for multiple picture collection, and the sorting accuracy is low.

Then, the grayscale image is subjected to noise reduction processing by a median filtering algorithm to remove salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise in the image, making the image smoother and clearer.

The convolutional layer extracts features by sliding the convolution kernel on the image, and the pooling layer downsamples the feature map to reduce the amount of data while retaining the main features. The fully connected layer is used to integrate the extracted features and make classification decisions. In the model training stage, a large number of navel orange image samples of different varieties and different growth environments, including samples of various defects, are collected, and manually labeled and classified. The labeled image samples are divided into a training set, a validation set, and a test set. The convolutional neural network model is trained using a back-propagation algorithm, and the weights and bias parameters of the model are continuously adjusted so that it can accurately identify the features of navel oranges and classify them. After multiple iterations of training, the accuracy of the model on the validation set and the test set reaches 99.5%.

[0049] The control module 165 receives the judgment and decision of the classification decision module 164, and controls the motor B152 to classify and remove the defective navel oranges.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] When the device is in use, the navel orange is placed on the conveying component 12 from the left side of the navel orange sorting mechanism 1, and the navel orange is located between the two groups of rollers 124. Then the motor A121 is operated to drive the turntable 122 on the left side to rotate, thereby causing the connecting belt 123 to start rolling. The connecting belt 123 drives the turntable 122 on the right side to rotate on the mounting frame 111. Then the navel orange between the rollers 124 is transported by the two groups of conveying components 12 running synchronously. The navel orange is first imaged by the first image acquisition component 13. The upper and lower cameras 134 capture images of the upper and lower sides of the navel orange. The bracket A131 is used to monitor the top mounting plate 133. The bracket B132 is used to fix the bottom mounting plate 133. The strip fill light 136 is strip-shaped, so that the two strip fill lights 136 can fill light on the front and back sides of the navel orange. The camera 134 is ring-shaped, so that the two cameras 134 can fill light on the upper and lower parts of the navel orange respectively, thereby improving the picture collection effect. The conveying component 12 continues to convey the navel orange. When the roller 124 passes through the friction plate 146, the roller 124 rolls on the friction plate 146, and the rolling of the roller 124 drives the navel orange to roll. Then the roller 124 under the navel orange is separated from the friction plate 146, so that the navel orange stops rolling, thereby causing the navel orange to flip and adjust its direction.

[0052] The navel orange is captured for the second time through the image acquisition component 13 on the right side. After the image is captured, it is sent to the processing unit 16. The image preprocessing module 161 grays the image and performs noise reduction processing. The feature extraction module 162 analyzes the defect texture feature parameters and sets the threshold value. Classification and evaluation are performed according to the size, shape and severity of the defect. The deep learning model 163 outputs the feature vector of the navel orange. The classification decision module 164 judges and makes decisions on the output results of the model. The control module 165 receives the judgment and decision of the classification decision module 164 and controls the motor B152 to classify and remove the defective navel oranges. The navel oranges continue to pass through the conveying component. 12 conveyor, when the navel orange passes under the mounting bar 155, the photoelectric sensor 156 detects the incoming fruit. When the defect size is smaller than the threshold value, the motor B152 on the fixed frame 151 rotates forward to drive the rotating drum 153 to rotate, and the rotating drum 153 drives the paddle 154 to rotate to discharge the navel orange forward, and the navel orange passes through the discharge hole of the front conveying component 12. When the defect size is larger than the threshold value, the motor B152 reverses and runs, and the paddle 154 rotates to discharge the navel orange backward, and the navel orange passes through the discharge hole of the rear conveying component 12. If it is a good fruit, the unloading component 15 does not operate, and the navel orange is conveyed to the right side by the conveying component 12 and falls on the packaging device 2 for collection and packaging.

7. The automatic sorting and packaging device for navel oranges according to claim 1, characterized in that: The processing unit (16) comprises an image preprocessing module (161), a feature extraction module (162), a deep learning model (163), a classification decision module (164) and a control module (165). The image preprocessing module (161) performs grayscale processing on the received image to convert the color image into a grayscale image, and then performs noise reduction processing on the grayscale image by using a median filtering algorithm to remove salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise in the image to make the image smoother and clearer. The image is enhanced by using a histogram equalization method to expand the grayscale dynamic range of the image and improve the contrast of the image. The feature extraction module (162) adopts an extraction method based on texture features. The feature extraction module (162) uses a gray level co-occurrence matrix algorithm to calculate texture feature parameters of the image, such as contrast, correlation, energy and entropy. The texture features of the defect area are usually significantly different from the texture of the surface of a normal navel orange. By analyzing these texture feature parameters and setting thresholds, classification and evaluation are performed according to the size, shape and severity of the defect. The deep learning model (163) is based on a convolutional neural network and is used to identify and classify the comprehensive features of navel oranges. The deep learning model (163) includes multiple convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. The convolutional layer extracts features by sliding a convolution kernel on an image. The pooling layer downsamples the feature map to reduce the amount of data while retaining the main features. The fully connected layer is used to integrate and classify the extracted features. In the model training stage, a large number of navel orange image samples of different varieties and different growth environments are collected, including samples of various defects, and are manually annotated and classified. The annotated image samples are divided into a training set, a validation set, and a test set. The convolutional neural network model is trained using a back-propagation algorithm, and the weight and bias parameters of the model are continuously adjusted so that the model can accurately identify the features of the navel oranges and classify them. After multiple iterations of training, the accuracy of the model on the validation set and the test set reaches 99.5%. The classification decision module (164) judges and makes decisions on the output result of the model based on the preset classification threshold and rules and on the basis that the deep learning model 163 outputs a feature vector of navel orange; The control module (165) receives the judgment and decision of the classification decision module (164), and controls the motor B (152) to operate to classify and remove defective navel oranges.
