[0080] Step S10: Obtain the coating state data of the chocolate liquid on the walnuts and the appearance flatness of the walnuts; wherein, the coating state data includes the coating thickness, the coating appearance characteristics and the coating flow rate; the coating appearance characteristics include the surface smoothness and the surface glossiness;

[0081] Step S20: Establish a coating analysis model based on the coating state data and generate a coating health prediction index;

[0082] Step S30: Analyze whether there is a risk of non-conformity in the coating on the walnuts according to the coating health prediction index;

[0083] Step S40: If there is a risk of non-conformity in the coating on the walnuts, obtain the state data of the chocolate liquid, establish a coating raw material analysis model, and generate a chocolate liquid evaluation index; wherein, the state data of the chocolate liquid includes the viscosity value and the caking volume;

[0084] Step S50: Establish a coating raw material adjustment model according to the coating health prediction index and the chocolate liquid evaluation index, and generate a chocolate liquid production temperature adjustment value;

Both too large or too small coating thickness will affect its overall quality; for example, too thick a chocolate layer will make the taste too sweet or greasy, resulting in the fragrance of the walnut kernel being covered by the chocolate taste, making the overall product taste unbalanced, and at the same time increasing production costs; on the contrary, too thin a coating will result in the chocolate taste not being prominent enough, and the fragrance of the walnut kernel may be too dominant, lacking the richness of chocolate, the overall taste may seem single, affecting the taste balance, and too thin a coating will also cause the chocolate layer to be not strong enough, easy to fall off or be crushed; at the same time, too thin a coating cannot effectively protect the nuts from oxidation, moisture, etc., which may cause the nuts to deteriorate or become damp;

[0095] Generate a coating thickness aggregation index based on the thickness deviation value and the thickness standard range; wherein, the coating thickness aggregation index refers to the ratio between the thickness deviation value and the near endpoint of the thickness standard range.

[0099] Perform a weighted process on the smoothness evaluation index and the glossiness evaluation index to generate a coating appearance evaluation index.

[0111] S12: Obtain the peak height on one side of the groove on the surface of the walnut kernel according to the scanned three-dimensional model of the walnut kernel surface;

[0112] It should be noted that the peak height on one side of the groove on the surface of the walnut kernel refers to the maximum value of the height of one of the two protrusions that form the groove;

[0113] S13: Generate an average height according to the peak heights on both sides of the groove on the surface of the walnut kernel; wherein, the average height refers to the average value of the peak heights on both sides of all the grooves on the surface of the walnut kernel;
