Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food packaging detection, and in particular to a four-dimensional imaging food packaging detection device. Background Art
[0002] Four-dimensional imaging food detectors primarily rely on medical imaging technologies (such as micro-CT and magnetic resonance imaging) and artificial intelligence algorithms to achieve dynamic monitoring and microstructural analysis. Their core principles include: The imaging technology base uses micro-CT scanning technology to conduct non-destructive testing on food, obtains high-precision cross-sectional images of the internal structure of the object through X-ray scanning, and reconstructs the three-dimensional model in combination with computer algorithms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic field induction to analyze the physical properties of food, such as water distribution and fat content. Combined with 4D printing technology, it can track the changes in microstructure during food processing in real time. For example, in freeze-drying or plant-based meat production, dynamic imaging is used to observe key parameters such as ice crystal formation and fiber structure changes, and optimize process parameters to improve product quality. Artificial intelligence applications are equipped with deep learning models to train algorithms on massive amounts of detection data. For example, by analyzing the differences between images of normal food and those containing foreign matter, automatic identification of foreign matter (such as metal fragments, plastic foreign matter, etc.) can be achieved. This technology has been applied to bagged food production lines with detection accuracy up to millimeter level. When the four-dimensional imaging food detector in the prior art inspects packaged food, when it detects defective products, such as poor sealing effect at the packaging, impurities or metal impurities in the packaging bag, it usually alerts the staff through an alarm, and then the defective products are manually sorted out. The defective products cannot be automatically sorted out, which affects work efficiency and increases the labor intensity of the staff. Therefore, a four-dimensional imaging food packaging inspection device is designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the defective product discharge chute is inclined such that the side close to the belt conveyor is higher and the side away from the belt conveyor is lower.
[0014] Preferably, a defective product collection box is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the outer side baffle, and the defective product discharge chute runs through the top of the defective product collection box.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In the above scheme, by providing a four-dimensional imaging detection device body, an X-ray scanner, and a belt conveyor, when inspecting packaged food, the packaged food is prevented from being at the left end of the belt conveyor, and the packaged food is transported to the right by the belt conveyor. The packaged food enters the inspection slot, and the X-ray scanner in the inspection slot scans the packaged food to obtain a high-precision tomographic image of the internal structure of the object, and reconstructs a three-dimensional model in combination with a computer algorithm.

After the selection is completed, the control panel controls the motor to rotate counterclockwise, driving the guide plate to rotate counterclockwise until the positioning post is attached to the inner side baffle. At this time, the guide plate will not block the normal conveying of the packaged food to the right, thereby ensuring normal feeding.
[0018] In the above scheme, by setting up a defective product collection box, when the poorly packaged food is discharged from the defective product discharge trough, it is collected by the defective product collection box, which facilitates the subsequent processing of the poorly packaged food.

[0027] By providing a four-dimensional imaging detection device body 1, an X-ray scanner 3, and a belt conveyor 4, when inspecting packaged food, the packaged food is prevented from being at the left end of the belt conveyor 4, and is transported to the right by the belt conveyor 4. The packaged food enters the inspection slot 101, and the X-ray scanner 3 in the inspection slot scans the packaged food to obtain a high-precision tomographic image of the internal structure of the object, and reconstructs a three-dimensional model in combination with a computer algorithm. The magnetic resonance imaging MRI analyzes the physical properties of the food through magnetic field induction, and combines with 4D printing technology to determine the microstructure of the packaged food, thereby achieving the effect of inspecting the packaged food. When it is detected that the packaging is unqualified or there are impurities inside, the alarm is controlled by the control panel 7 to alert the staff, and the unqualified packaged products are guided by the defective product guiding component, so that the packaged food is discharged from the defective product discharge slot 501, thereby achieving the effect of automatically selecting defective products and increasing work efficiency.
[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown: In this embodiment, the defective product guiding assembly includes an inverted L-shaped bracket 8, a motor 801, a guide plate 802, a pin 804 and a positioning column 805.

The motor 801 drives the guide plate 802 to rotate clockwise until the positioning post 805 on the guide plate 802 contacts the inner surface of the outer side baffle 5. The poorly packaged food is guided by the guide plate 802 to the defective product discharge trough 501 for discharge, thereby automatically screening out the poorly packaged food and increasing work efficiency. After the selection is completed, the control panel 7 controls the motor 801 to rotate counterclockwise, driving the guide plate 802 to rotate counterclockwise until the positioning post 805 is attached to the inner side baffle 5.
