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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, an integrated color sorting and packaging system includes a screening and packaging device 1. The screening device consists of a support 13, a finished product export mechanism 7, a defective product export mechanism 12, a weighing and sorting mechanism 11, and a transmission mechanism 2. The bottom ends of the finished product export mechanism 7, the defective product export mechanism 12, the weighing and sorting mechanism 11, and the transmission mechanism 2 are mounted on the upper side of the support 13. The finished product export mechanism 7 and the defective product export mechanism 12 are mounted on both sides of the weighing and sorting mechanism 11. The weighing and sorting mechanism 11 is mounted on one end of the transmission mechanism 2. The weighing and sorting mechanism 11 consists of a sorting mechanism 15 and a weighing sensor 14. The weighing sensor 14 is mounted on the bottom end of the sorting mechanism 15, and the bottom end of the weighing sensor 14 is mounted on the upper side of the support 13. The upper end of the transmission mechanism 2 is sequentially equipped with an image acquisition device 3, an infrared 3D contour scanner 20, and a moving mechanism 6. The image acquisition device 3, the infrared 3D contour scanner 20, and the moving mechanism 6 are sequentially mounted on the upper end of the transmission mechanism 2. The bottom ends of the contour scanner 20 and the moving mechanism 6 are mounted on the upper side of the transmission mechanism 2 via the mounting bracket 4. The bottom end of the moving mechanism 6 is mounted by the clamp 19, and the upper side of the transmission mechanism 2 is mounted by the controller 5.

[0030] The moving mechanism 6 consists of a longitudinal rodless cylinder 16, a transverse rodless cylinder 17, and a telescopic rod 18. The longitudinal rodless cylinder 16 is mounted on the upper side of the mounting frame 4, and the bottom end of the mounting frame 4 is mounted on the upper side of the bracket 13. One end of the transverse rodless cylinder 17 is mounted below the longitudinal rodless cylinder 16, and the upper end of the telescopic rod 18 is mounted on the upper side of the transverse rodless cylinder 17. The moving mechanism 6 achieves precise gripping and transfer of goods through multi-dimensional motion control. The longitudinal rodless cylinder 16 can drive the transverse rodless cylinder 17 and the telescopic rod 18 to make linear movements in the longitudinal direction, achieving a wide range of longitudinal position adjustments. The transverse rodless cylinder 17 can move independently in the transverse direction based on the driving force of the longitudinal rodless cylinder 16, further adjusting its position. The telescopic rod 18 can perform vertical extension and retraction movements, driving the clamp 19 at the bottom end to move closer to or away from the goods. The three work together to enable the clamp 19 to flexibly reach the transmission mechanism 2 or other designated positions to complete operations such as gripping, handling, and placing goods, meeting the gripping needs of different positions and heights.

[0031] A display 23 is mounted on the upper side of the controller 5, and control buttons 24 are mounted on the upper side of the controller 5 below the display 23. The display 23 on the controller 5 is used to display the system's operating status, detection data, product information, and various operation interfaces in real time, so that the operator can intuitively understand the system's working status. The control buttons 24 below the display 23 are used by the operator for manual operation, such as starting and stopping the system, setting parameters, and switching modes, so as to realize manual intervention and control of the system and ensure that adjustments can be made in a timely manner when abnormalities occur in automatic operation.

[0032] A wireless connection module 21 is installed on the upper side of the controller 5. A voice playback module 22 is installed on the upper side of the controller 5 next to the wireless connection module 21. The wireless connection module 21 on the controller 5 enables the system to wirelessly transmit data and communicate with external devices such as computers, mobile phones, and factory management systems, facilitating remote monitoring, data statistics, and parameter configuration of the system and improving the intelligent management level of the system. The voice playback module 22 can issue voice prompts during system operation, such as equipment fault alarms, operation instructions, and working status prompts, to promptly remind operators to pay attention to the system status and improve the convenience and safety of operation.

[0033] The transmission mechanism 2 consists of a shaft 9, a conveyor belt 10, and a motor 8. The shaft 9 is rotatably mounted inside the bracket 13, and the conveyor belt 10 is wrapped around the outside of the shaft 9. One end of the shaft 9 passes through the bracket 13 and is mounted at the front end of the motor 8. The motor 8 is mounted on one side of the bracket 13. After the motor 8 starts, its output shaft drives the shaft 9 connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the shaft 9 drives the conveyor belt 10 wrapped around it to move synchronously. The goods to be inspected or processed are placed on the conveyor belt 10 and are smoothly and continuously transported to each inspection and processing station as the conveyor belt 10 moves, realizing the orderly flow of goods in the entire production line and providing stable material conveying support for subsequent inspection, sorting and other operations.

[0034] The finished product export mechanism 7, the defective product export mechanism 12, the transmission mechanism 2 and the sorting mechanism 15 have the same structure. The use of the same structural design for the finished product export mechanism 7, the defective product export mechanism 12, the transmission mechanism 2 and the sorting mechanism 15 is beneficial to reducing the design and manufacturing costs of the equipment, and at the same time facilitates the later maintenance and repair.

[0035] Its color sorting and packaging method includes the following steps:

[0036] S1. Material conveying: The electric motor drives the shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to smoothly transport the goods to be processed to each inspection and processing station, achieving orderly flow.

[0037] S2. Multi-dimensional detection: During transmission, the image acquisition device captures images of the product's appearance, the infrared 3D contour scanner obtains three-dimensional contour information, and the data is transmitted to the controller in real time for AI visual recognition to determine whether the appearance meets the standards; when the product arrives at the weighing and sorting mechanism, the weighing sensor detects the weight and uploads the data, and the controller determines whether the weight is qualified.

[0038] S3. Sorting and Transfer: The controller coordinates the actions of each mechanism based on the detection results: the sorting mechanism of the weighing and sorting mechanism pushes qualified products to the finished product export mechanism and unqualified products to the defective product export mechanism; the moving mechanism adjusts its position and extends and retracts the telescopic rod through the longitudinal / lateral rodless cylinders, driving the clamp to accurately grab specific products and complete the transfer.

[0039] S4. Control and Interaction: The controller serves as the core, receiving and processing data and coordinating system operation; the display shows real-time operating status, detection data, and other information; control buttons allow manual operation such as start / stop and parameter setting; the wireless connection module enables wireless communication with external devices, supporting remote monitoring and configuration; the voice playback module provides voice prompts such as fault alarms and operation guidance.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this invention: The support 13 provides stable support for the entire device, ensuring the stability of each mechanism during operation. The transmission mechanism 2 is responsible for orderly transporting the goods to be tested to each testing station. When the goods are transported to the weighing and sorting mechanism 11, the weighing sensor 14 accurately detects the weight of the goods and transmits the data to the controller 5. The controller 5 judges whether the goods are qualified according to the preset standard. Then, the sorting mechanism 15 moves to push qualified goods to the finished product export mechanism 7 and unqualified goods to the defective product export mechanism 12, completing the initial screening and sorting of goods. During the process of transporting goods by the transmission mechanism 2, the image acquisition device 3 takes pictures of the appearance of the goods, and the infrared 3D contour scanner 20 obtains the three-dimensional contour information of the goods. These data are transmitted to the controller 5 in real time for AI visual recognition analysis to determine whether the appearance of the goods meets the standard. Under the command of the controller 5, the moving mechanism 6 uses the clamp 19 to grab and transport specific goods to achieve precise transfer of goods. The controller 5, as the core of the entire system, receives and processes the data from each sensor and testing device, coordinates and controls the operation of each mechanism, and ensures the automation and intelligence of the entire screening and packaging process.
