Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food color sorters, and particularly to a food color sorter with a cleaning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A color sorter is a device that sorts items of different colors using photoelectric detection technology based on the differences in the optical properties of materials. Color sorters are used in the fields of bulk materials or packaged industrial products and food quality inspection and grading. For example, when the picked apples are put into a food color sorter, the sorter can separate the red apples from the green apples according to the color difference, so that the apples can be separated according to the degree of ripeness, which is convenient for subsequent grading and selling.

[0003] However, the existing food color sorters do not have an automatic cleaning device, resulting in the color sensing device inside the device being inaccurate in color recognition due to dust accumulation after long-term use, which affects the sorting effect. If an automatic cleaning device is installed inside, the cleaning head needs to be replaced regularly to ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning head. Summary of the Invention
