[0002] With the rapid development of the food industry, crispy cone products (such as egg rolls and conical potato chip tubes) are loved by consumers for their unique taste and convenient consumption. Their production process is complex, involving multiple stages such as batter forming, baking, filling, cooling, and packaging. However, during large-scale production, factors such as differences in raw materials, fluctuations in processing technology, and unstable machinery can easily lead to inconsistent product quality, resulting in problems such as cracks, deformation, dimensional deviations, and residual impurities. To inspect and remove defective products, it is necessary to conduct defect inspections on the crispy cones produced on the production line, either manually or using equipment.

[0003] Although traditional testing equipment is aided by mechanical production lines, defect detection and product sorting of brittle cylinders still largely require manual labor.

[0048] Working principle or structural principle:

[0049] Feeding: The crispy cylinders are guided by the feeding trough 211 and conveyed by the lower conveyor belt into the rear selection flap 212. At the same time, the feeding inspection camera 22 above inspects the fed crispy cylinders. The posture of the crispy cylinders is judged, and obvious defects are detected. With the flipping drive control of the selection drive cylinder 213, the crispy cylinders with the correct posture and no obvious defects stay on the upper part of the selection flap 212. For crispy cylinders with incorrect posture or quantity, the selection drive cylinder 213 drives the selection flap 212 to flip down and fall into the material receiving box 24 to wait for manual processing. After completion, the lifting drive cylinder 231 drives the pusher plate 232 to move down and the first pusher cylinder body 23 drives the pusher plate 232 to move backward and is guided by the guide trough plate 214 to send the crispy cylinder into the feed port of the inspection machine base 1.

[0050] Crispy Cylinder Transfer and Inspection: The conical head of the crispy cylinder, guided by the guide chute 214, is aligned and fitted with the rotating support 312 on the upper part of the first material carrier 311, and is supported and driven by a chain drive to move backward. When it reaches the inspection area, as shown in the attached... Figure 7 The rotating drive wheel 314 at the edge of the first material carrier 311 is in contact with the drive wheel support of the rotating shaft of the rotating drive motor 313. The rotating drive motor 313 drives the rotating drive wheel 314, which, in conjunction with the synchronous transmission of the synchronous gear plate 315 and the synchronous gear belt 316, achieves the rotational drive of multiple brittle cylinder products in the detection area. (See attached diagram.) Figure 8 As shown, the end of the brittle tube product can be photographed from both front and rear angles by the reflection of the reflector group 35 and the optical imaging mirror through multiple reflections. The images are finally captured by the end tube inspection camera 34, achieving a blind-angle inspection of the end of the brittle tube. After completion, the brittle tube continues to be moved and conveyed by the first material carrier 311. When it reaches the connecting guide seat 33 at the rear, the brittle tube is guided through the slot to flip and reposition 180 degrees and nested with the cone head support 322 on the upper part of the second material carrier 321 for support. Then, the brittle tube is conveyed into the inspection area by the second material carrier 321 and the cone head inspection camera 37 completes the inspection work.

[0051] Material Transfer: After inspection, the brittle cylinders are conveyed via the second material carrier 321 to the discharge side at the rear of the inspection base 1. They are then flipped to enter the receiving trough 411. The conveyor belt at the bottom of the receiving trough 411 moves the brittle cylinders to the cleaning flap 421. Based on the inspection results, the cleaning drive cylinder 422 drives the corresponding cleaning flap 421 to flip downwards, causing the defective brittle cylinders to fall and be collected inside the discharge receiving box 43. Then, the lifting drive cylinder 231 on the side of the second pushing cylinder 42 drives the pushing plate 232 downwards. Finally, the second pushing cylinder 42 drives the pushing plate 232 to move the brittle cylinders backwards into the rear section. The brittle cylinders are installed end-to-end in the material preparation trough 412. After one feeding cycle, the push column at the end of the horizontal push cylinder 44 moves upward and lifts it. Then, the horizontal push cylinder 44 drives the push column to move backward and push the brittle cylinders end-to-end to the upper part of the storage trough belt 413. Then, the storage trough belt 413 drives the brittle cylinders to move laterally to the feeding side of the discharge trough 414. Then, the transverse push cylinder 45 drives the transverse push plate to push the brittle cylinders to the upper part of the discharge trough 414. Then, the servo conveying unit 46 moves laterally to align and uses the clamps of the support unit to clamp and transport the rows of brittle cylinders to the processing equipment at the rear, completing the brittle cylinder unloading and conveying work.

[0052] In summary, the device adopts a fully automatic feeding and detection structure. Through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism, detection mechanism, and discharge mechanism, it can realize automatic feeding and unloading of crispy cylinder products and double-end detection. The entire operation requires no manual intervention and can achieve rapid and accurate detection of both ends of the crispy cylinder products. Compared with traditional manual detection, it has higher detection efficiency and accuracy, which can meet the processing needs of modern high-efficiency production. It adopts a connecting flip-type crispy cylinder conveying structure, using the first conveyor seat 31 and the second conveyor seat 32 to feed the crispy cylinder. The first conveyor seat 31 and the second conveyor seat 32 are arranged vertically. The device is distributed and equipped with connecting guide seats 33 at both ends. Utilizing the end-to-end flipping mechanism during conveying, combined with the guiding function of the connecting guide seats 33, automatic flipping and repositioning of the brittle cylinder can be achieved without manual assistance. In conjunction with the end cylinder detection camera 34 and the cone head detection camera 37, comprehensive and accurate detection of both ends of the brittle cylinder can be achieved, improving the overall accuracy of the device. The base of the rotating support 312 is synchronously driven by a synchronous gear disc 315 and a synchronous gear belt 316, with a rotating drive wheel 314 located on the power input side of the synchronous gear belt 316. When the device reaches the detection position, the rotating drive wheel 314 rotates... The drive wheel 314 is supported by the drive wheel at the shaft end of the rotary drive motor 313. The rotary drive motor 313 can synchronously drive the rotary support 312 in the detection area to achieve blind-angle detection of the end seat of the brittle tube product. A reflector group 35 is set on the working side of the end tube detection camera 34. By using the optical imaging mirror, the end seat of the brittle tube product can be photographed from both front and rear angles through multiple reflections. The images are finally converged on the camera side of the end tube detection camera 34. The elimination of the need for dual-side camera deployment can effectively reduce the number of cameras used and reduce the complexity of the system. The residual material is discharged by a flip-plate discharge method. The structure features multiple sets of flip-plate structures installed at the feed and discharge sides of the equipment using independent multi-cylinder drives. With the assistance of a detection camera, misaligned and defective materials can be flipped and discharged, eliminating the need for manual sorting to separate and discharge non-conforming materials. A trough-type storage structure is also provided on the discharge side. The storage trough belt 413, driven by a chain, supports and stores the nested brittle cylinder products fed from the preparation trough seat 412. With the support and drive of the chain, the material can be aligned and picked up in stages, ensuring stable and efficient feeding and improving the stability of the equipment.
