[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example

[0036] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a non-destructive testing device for agricultural products, including a material inlet structure 1, a material detection structure 2 at the outlet end of the material inlet structure 1, a material classification structure 3 on both the front and rear sides of the material detection structure 2, and a control panel 4 on the outer side of the material inlet structure 1.

[0037] The material detection structure 2 includes a mounting frame 201, a transmission device 202 is provided on the inner side of the mounting frame 201, and two rear frames 203 are fixed on the back side of the mounting frame 201. A scanning detector 204 is located at the top of the rear frame 203, and the two scanning detectors 204 are arranged above the transmission device 202.

[0038] A drive bracket 205 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting frame 201. A drive motor 206 is fixedly installed on the outside of the drive bracket 205. An actuating rod 207 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 206. The actuating rod 207 is located above the transmission device 202. Guide inclined plates 208 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the mounting frame 201. The guide inclined plates 208 are located at the input port of the material classification structure 3.

[0039] During the transportation process, agricultural products are scanned by the scanning and testing instrument 204, and their quality grade will be automatically identified and recorded.

[0040] When the agricultural product moves to the bottom of the lever 207, the lever 207 is driven by the drive motor 206 to reciprocate. When the agricultural product reaches the bottom of the lever 207, the lever 207 will push it towards the guide ramp 208, and then slide it into the corresponding material classification structure 3.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the material feeding structure 1 includes a movable frame 101, the bottom end of which is provided with self-locking casters, and the top end of which is fixedly mounted with a mounting platform 102. The inner side of the mounting platform 102 is provided with a guide belt 103, and the outer side of the mounting platform 102 is provided with an external motor 104. The mounting platform 102 is connected to the guide belt 103 through the external motor 104.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting platform 102 is driven by an external motor 104 to make the guide belt 103 move in a cyclic motion, thereby realizing the continuous introduction of agricultural products.

[0043] The material with the 103 label is made of food-grade material to ensure that it will not contaminate agricultural products when in contact with them.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, an inlet plate 105 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting platform 102, the inlet belt 103 is designed to be inclined, the inlet plate 105 is located above the material input port of the inlet belt 103, and the tail end of the inlet belt 103 overlaps with the input port of the transmission device 202.

[0045] Specifically, the design of the guide plate 105 allows agricultural products to slide smoothly onto the guide belt 103, while the inclined guide belt 103 helps ensure that the agricultural products can accurately enter the conveyor device 202 during the conveying process.

[0046] In addition, the inlet plate 105 and the inlet belt 103 are also made of food-grade materials, ensuring the safety and hygiene of agricultural products.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a sleeve 106 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the mounting platform 102, a movable rod 107 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 106, a guide bar 108 is fixedly installed between the movable rods 107 on the same side, a positioning pin 109 is movably inserted into the top end of the sleeve 106, and the sleeve 106 and the movable rod 107 are movably engaged by the positioning pin 109.

[0048] Specifically, the design of the guide bar 108 allows the mounting platform 102 to be adjusted according to the size of the agricultural product, ensuring that the product is stably placed on the guide belt 103. By sliding the movable rod 107 and adjusting the position of the guide bar 108, the movable rod 107 is fixedly engaged with the sleeve 106 using the positioning pin 109, thus achieving the adjustment and fixation of the mounting platform 102. This design improves the flexibility and applicability of the device, enabling this non-destructive testing device for agricultural products to adapt to the testing needs of agricultural products of different sizes and shapes.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission device 202 includes a transmission belt and a transmission motor, and the mounting frame 201 and the transmission belt are connected by the transmission motor.

[0050] Specifically, the conveyor device 202 drives the conveyor belt to circulate via a conveyor motor, thereby transporting agricultural products from the material inlet structure 1 to the scanning detector 204 below the material detection structure 2 for inspection. The conveyor belt is also made of food-grade material to ensure the safety and hygiene of the agricultural products.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the material sorting structure 3 includes a mounting bracket 301. The inner side of the mounting bracket 301 is provided with a conveying device 302, a first outlet device 304, and a second outlet device 305. The outlets of the first outlet device 304 and the second outlet device 305 are provided with collection boxes 307. The outer side of the conveying device 302 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 301 through a fixing plate 303. The first outlet device 304 and the second outlet device 305 are movably connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 301 through an adjusting device 306.

[0052] Specifically, the conveying device 302, the first exporting device 304, and the second exporting device 305 are all responsible for exporting agricultural products. The conveying device 302 is responsible for conveying agricultural products from the material detection structure 2 to the classification area, while the first exporting device 304 and the second exporting device 305 can perform double-layer export through the adjusting device 306, so that after the lower collection box 307 is filled, it can be exported to the upper collection box 307.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying device 302, the first discharge device 304 and the second discharge device 305 have the same structure. The conveying device 302 includes a conveying frame 308 and a conveying motor 310. A conveyor belt 309 is provided on the inner side of the conveying frame 308. The conveying frame 308 is connected to the conveyor belt 309 through the conveying motor 310.

[0054] Specifically, the conveying device 302, the first discharge device 304, and the second discharge device 305 are driven by the conveyor motor 310 to make the conveyor belt 309 circulate. This design ensures the continuity and stability of agricultural products in the sorting process.

[0055] The conveyor belt 309 is also made of food-grade materials, which prevents agricultural products from being contaminated during transportation and further ensures the safety and hygiene of agricultural products.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the adjusting device 306 includes an electric push rod 311 and a rotating shaft 313. The electric push rod 311 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 301, and the rotating shaft 313 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 301. The movable end of the electric push rod 311 is rotatably connected to a hinge rod 312. The other end of the hinge rod 312 is fixedly sleeved with the surface of the rotating shaft 313. Two deflection rods 314 are fixedly sleeved with the surface of the rotating shaft 313. The other end of the deflection rods 314 is hinged to a connecting rod 315. The surface of the connecting rod 315 is respectively hinged to the outer side of the first outlet device 304 and the second outlet device 305.

[0057] Specifically, the adjusting device 306 pushes the hinge rod 312 to swing through the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 311, thereby driving the rotating shaft 313 to rotate.

[0058] The rotation of the shaft 313 causes the deflection rod 314 to deflect accordingly. The deflection rod 314 is hinged to the first outlet device 304 and the second outlet device 305 through the connecting rod 315, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the first outlet device 304 and the second outlet device 305.

[0059] When the output direction needs to be adjusted, the deflection angle of the first output device 304 and the second output device 305 can be adjusted simply by controlling the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 311.

[0060] This design allows the first discharge device 304 and the second discharge device 305 to be flexibly adjusted according to the classification needs of agricultural products. When the lower collection box 307 is filled, it can then discharge to the upper collection box 307.

[0061] During use, operators can input relevant information and testing standards for agricultural products through the control panel 4. The control panel 4 then transmits this information to the scanning detector 204 and the control system of the entire device.

[0062] The agricultural products are then fed onto the inlet plate 105, and driven by the inlet belt 103, they slide smoothly down the inclined design to the transmission device 202.

[0063] The conveyor belt of the transmission device 202 starts working, smoothly transporting the agricultural products to the area below the scanning and detection instrument 204.

[0064] The scanning and testing instrument 204 performs quality testing on agricultural products on the conveyor belt according to preset testing standards and feeds back the test results to the control system in real time.

[0065] When the agricultural product has completed the inspection and continues to move forward to below the actuating lever 207, the drive motor 206 starts in a timely manner, driving the actuating lever 207 to reciprocate. The actuating lever 207 precisely moves the agricultural product towards the guide ramp 208, and the agricultural product then slides smoothly down the guide ramp 208 into the corresponding material classification structure 3.

[0066] Inside the material sorting structure 3, the conveying device 302 first receives the agricultural products conveyed from the material detection structure 2, and then the conveying device 302 sends the agricultural products into the lower collection box 307 through the bottom.

[0067] Once the lower collection box 307 is filled, the adjusting device 306 will automatically adjust the angle, causing the electric push rod 311 to push the hinge rod 312 to swing, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 313 to rotate. The deflecting rod 314 deflects accordingly and pulls the first discharge device 304 or the second discharge device 305 through the connecting rod 315 to change the discharge direction, thus sending the agricultural products into the upper collection box 307.

[0068] In summary, through the material detection structure 2 and the material classification structure 3, the material detection structure 2 can perform quality inspection on the agricultural products introduced by the material input structure 1 and then screen these agricultural products. At the same time, the material classification structure 3 can classify and export the screened agricultural products. Moreover, the entire process of agricultural product detection and export is mechanized, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of agricultural product detection, reduces labor costs, and ensures that agricultural products are not damaged during the detection process, maintaining their integrity and quality, which is beneficial to the subsequent processing and utilization of agricultural products.

[0069] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the control panel 4, external motor 104, transmission device 202, scanning detector 204, drive motor 206, conveyor motor 310, and electric push rod 311 in the non-destructive testing device for agricultural products need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0070] Furthermore, the power supply and operating principles of the control panel 4, external motor 104, transmission device 202, scanning detector 204, drive motor 206, conveying motor 310, and electric push rod 311 in the agricultural product non-destructive testing device are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Furthermore, the working principles and wiring methods of the control panel 4, external motor 104, transmission device 202, scanning detector 204, drive motor 206, conveying motor 310, and electric push rod 311 in the agricultural product non-destructive testing device are commonplace and belong to conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
