The conveyor line 4 conveys the food on it to its downstream. It can stop at any path during the conveying process. In the stopped state, the food on the conveyor line 4 is photographed from multiple angles through multiple cameras 6 to obtain the appearance images of the food at different angles, and then the image information is summarized in the computer connected to the camera 6, and the existing three-dimensional image processing system in the computer is used to obtain the appearance images of the food at different angles. The modeling software is used for modeling, and at the same time, the volume of the steamed bun after modeling is calculated to obtain the volume data of the food. At the same time, the food can be cut in half at the discharge end of the conveyor line 4 through the half-cutting component 5. Half of the food falls off after being cut in half, and the other half remains on the conveyor line 4. The camera 6 is used to obtain the image information of the cross-section of the food after it is cut, and the image information is summarized in the computer. The computer can calculate the fluffiness through the existing software. The overall structural design is reasonable, and the volume measurement and fluffiness detection of steamed bun foods can be realized. The detection process is simple and efficient.

[0033] It should be particularly emphasized that: in this embodiment, the three-dimensional modeling software in the computer belongs to the prior art, and the volume measurement also belongs to the algorithm of the prior art. For details, reference can be made to the patent technology with publication number CN103278090B: A visual measurement method for the volume of irregular objects. In this embodiment, the computer is also provided with a widely used image comparison software on the market, and the cross-sectional images of various foods (each of which is marked with the corresponding fluffiness) are entered in advance, and then the image of the food cut in half is fed back to the computer, and compared with the pre-entered image (image database), so as to obtain the fluffiness of the food.

[0034] In this embodiment, a host 7 with a display screen is provided outside the side wall of the chassis 1, and the plurality of cameras 6 are respectively connected to the host 7.

The host 7 can control the intelligent operation of the transfer component 3, the conveyor line 4, and the half-cut component 5 with one key.

[0035] It should be noted that the conveyor line 4 adopts a commercially available belt conveyor, and the motor of the belt conveyor is connected to the main machine 7 .

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned receiving tray 2 is a circular tray, and a first rotating drive device 8 rotatably assembled therewith is installed in the middle of its lower end. The above-mentioned first rotating drive device 8 is installed on the upper end of the above-mentioned work table 11, and the above-mentioned first rotating drive device 8 is connected to the above-mentioned main machine 7. The above-mentioned receiving tray 2 is provided with a plurality of discharge positions spaced at equal intervals along its circumferential direction. The above-mentioned first rotating drive device 8 is used to drive the above-mentioned receiving tray 2 to rotate, and make each of the above-mentioned discharge positions rotate to be close to the above-mentioned conveyor line 4, and the above-mentioned transfer assembly 3 is used to transfer the food on the discharge position close to the above-mentioned conveyor line 4 to the above-mentioned conveyor line 4.

[0037] In the above embodiment, when putting food, the box door 12 is opened, and multiple foods are placed in each discharge position on the receiving tray 2 respectively. Multiple foods can be placed in each discharge position of the receiving tray 2 respectively by rotating the first rotary drive device 8. Next, the box door 12 is closed, and the first rotary drive device 8 is automatically controlled by the host 7 to drive the receiving tray 2 to rotate intermittently. During the rotation process, each discharge position can be rotated close to the conveyor line 4. When a discharge position with the food at the upper end rotates close to the conveyor line 4 and stops, the transfer component 3 transfers the parked food from the receiving tray 2 to the conveyor line 4, realizing the operation state of transferring the food to the conveyor line 4 one by one.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first rotation driving device 8 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor of a suitable model on the market.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, a through hole is opened at the center of each of the above-mentioned discharge positions, and a first lifting device 9 penetrating the above-mentioned work surface 11 is provided below the end of the above-mentioned receiving tray 2 close to the above-mentioned conveyor line 4, and the upper end of the above-mentioned first lifting device 9 is provided with a pushing component a, and the lower end of the above-mentioned first lifting device 9 is provided with an electronic weighing device b, and the above-mentioned electronic weighing device is installed at the lower end of the above-mentioned work surface 11 through a support frame. When each of the above-mentioned discharge positions is rotated to the feeding end close to the above-mentioned conveyor line 4, the above-mentioned through hole is above the above-mentioned pushing component, and the above-mentioned first lifting device 9 is used to drive the above-mentioned pushing component to pass through the above-mentioned through hole d and lift up the food on the above-mentioned discharge position, and the above-mentioned first lifting device 9 and the electronic weighing device are respectively connected to the above-mentioned main machine 7.

[0040] In the above embodiment, when the receiving tray 2 rotates to each discharge position close to the conveyor line 4 and stops, the through hole in the middle of the discharge position is just above the pushing component. At this time, the first lifting device 9 operates to drive the pushing component upward through the through hole, thereby lifting the food on the discharge position, so that the bottom of the food is suspended. Next, the transfer component 3 can transfer the suspended food to the conveyor line 4, and then carry out subsequent multi-angle shooting, cutting in half and other processes. In addition, during the process of pushing the food to be suspended in the air, since the electronic weighing device is set at the lower end of the first lifting device 9, the food can be weighed by the electronic weighing device, so as to obtain the weight data of the food and feed it back to the host 7. On the whole, it can realize the detection of a variety of different data such as food weighing, volume detection, and fluffiness detection.

[0041] In this embodiment, the electronic weighing device can be a product of a suitable model on the market. Meanwhile, the first lifting device 9 can be an existing product such as an electric push rod.

[0042] The pushing component may include a vertical pushing rod and a disc arranged on the pushing rod (the area of ​​the disc is slightly smaller than the size of the through hole to ensure good contact with the bottom of the food and to push the food into the air).

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the transfer assembly 3 includes a Y-axis translation mechanism 31, a mounting frame 32, an X-axis translation mechanism 33 and a claw hand 34. The Y-axis translation mechanism 31 is installed on the upper end of the work table 11, the mounting frame 32 spans above the receiving plate 2 and is connected to the Y-axis translation mechanism 31, the X-axis translation mechanism 33 is installed on the side of the mounting frame 32 close to the conveyor line 4, the claw hand 34 is connected to the X-axis translation mechanism 33, the Y-axis translation mechanism 31 is used to drive the mounting frame 32 to move closer to or away from the conveyor line 4, the X-axis translation mechanism 33 is used to drive the claw hand 34 to move in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the mounting frame 32, and the claw hand 34 includes two L-shaped support plates 341 spaced side by side, and the horizontal sections of the two support plates 341 are used to extend into the bottom of the food lifted by the pushing component, and then the food is transferred to the conveyor line 4 under the drive of the Y-axis translation mechanism 31.

[0044] In the above-mentioned embodiment, during the rotation of the receiving tray 2, the claw hand 34 is located at the upper middle part of the receiving tray 2. When the food is pushed into the air by the pushing component a, the Y-axis translation mechanism 31 can drive the mounting frame 32 and the X-axis translation mechanism 33 to move toward the position of the conveyor line 4. At this time, the claw hand 34 is just on one side of the discharge position parked near the conveyor line 4. With the operation of the Y-axis translation mechanism 31, the claw hand 34 is driven close to the food, and the horizontal sections of the two support plates 341 are inserted into the bottom sides of the suspended food (the food is equivalent to being lifted on the upper part of the horizontal sections of the two support plates 341). Then, as the support plates 341 continue to move, the food is smoothly transferred to the conveyor line 4. The upper surface of the horizontal section of the support plate 341 Almost flush with the conveying surface of the conveyor line 4, part of the food is exposed outside the horizontal section of the support plate 341. After the support plate 341 moves close to the conveyor line 4, part of the food enters the conveying surface of the conveyor line 4. As the conveying surface moves, the food is driven to leave the support plate 341. At the same time, the Y-axis translation mechanism 31 moves back to its original position, so that the food enters the conveyor line 4 smoothly. At a suitable position (that is, within the shooting range of multiple cameras 6), the conveyor line 4 stops and is photographed by the camera 6. After the shooting is completed, the conveyor line 4 continues to run briefly, so that the food stops at its discharge end, and then the half-cutting component 5 is used to cut the food in half at the discharge end of the conveyor line 4. After cutting in half, half of the food falls out of the conveyor line 4, and the camera 6 is used to shoot the cross-sectional image of the food after cutting in half. After the whole process is completed, the food is taken out. On the whole, the food can be automatically transferred, photographed, detected and cut in half, and the design is very clever.

[0045] As an optional embodiment, the Y-axis translation mechanism 31 includes two first electric linear modules symmetrically distributed on both sides of the receiving tray 2, the mounting frame 32 is a door-shaped frame, and the lower parts of the two ends of the mounting frame 32 are respectively connected to the sliders of the two groups of the first electric linear modules, the X-axis translation mechanism 33 includes a second electric linear module, the upper ends of the vertical sections of the two support plates 341 are respectively connected to the sliders of the second electric linear modules, and the first electric linear module and the second electric linear module are respectively connected to the main machine 7.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the Y-axis translation mechanism 31 uses two sets of first electric linear modules currently available on the market, which can realize the stable translation of the mounting frame 32 by synchronous operation, and cooperate with the adjustment of the X-axis translation mechanism 33 to enable the support plate 341 to smoothly enter the bottom of the suspended food and transfer the food to the conveyor line 4.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the second lifting device 51 drives the horizontally vertically arranged cutter 52 to move downward under the automatic control of the main machine 7, so as to cut the food parked at the discharge end of the conveyor line 4 in half. After cutting in half, the second lifting device 51 moves to reset. The process runs safely and stably.
