DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0017] The utility model provides a device for detecting and removing foreign matter in tobacco leaves and shredded tobacco with multiple channels as shown in the figure, comprising a loading bin 10 and a conveyor 4 arranged on one side of the loading bin 10 and capable of conveying shredded tobacco in the loading bin 10, a mounting platform 3 is arranged on the outer side of the conveyor 4, a plurality of retractable and adjustable telescopic rods 1 are arranged on the outer side of the mounting platform 3, a shell 6 is movably connected to the plurality of adjustable telescopic rods 1, a removal component 5 and a mounting frame 11 are arranged inside the shell 6, and a light source device 12 and a shooting camera 13 are installed on the mounting frame 11;

[0018] The rejection component 5 includes a negative pressure generating device 7 arranged on the outer shell 6, and at least two telescopic hoses 503 are connected to the bottom of the negative pressure generating device 7. A mobile pipe 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each telescopic hose 503. A transmission component that can drive the mobile pipe 504 to move down to the surface of the conveyor 4 is arranged between each mobile pipe 504 and the outer shell 6, and each transmission component independently controls the corresponding mobile pipe 504 to move up and down.

[0019] Specifically, the transmission component is a telescopic device 502 , which is transmission-connected to the outer surface of the mobile pipe 504 and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 6 . An outwardly expanded collecting shell 501 is provided at the bottom of the mobile pipe 504 .

[0020] Specifically, the light source device 12 and the shooting camera 13 are installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 11 and perform shooting and supplementary lighting operations on the tobacco shreds and leaves transported on the conveyor 4 .

[0021] Specifically, the housing 6 is arranged obliquely and parallel to the surface of the conveyor 4 .

[0022] Specifically, a flattening component 9 is further provided on the top of the installation platform 3 , a delivery pipe 8 is provided at the output end of the negative pressure generating device 7 , and a collection bucket 2 is provided at the bottom of the delivery pipe 8 .

[0023] Specifically, the flattening component 9 includes a mounting shell 901 fixed on the mounting platform 3 , and at least one self-powered rotating claw 902 is disposed inside the mounting shell 901 .

[0024] Working principle: by putting tobacco shreds and leaves into the upper silo 10, one end of the conveyor 4 is extended into the upper silo 10 to convey the tobacco shreds and leaves inside, and then after passing through the flattening part 9, the rotating claw 902 inside the flattening part 9 is used to evenly spread the tobacco shreds and leaves transported on the conveyor 4, so as to facilitate the subsequent shooting and removal;

[0025] After the claws are scattered, they continue to be transported to the bottom of the mounting frame 11. The transport surface of the conveyor 4 is photographed by a shooting camera 13 and then transmitted to the background terminal to identify the debris on the image. During the shooting, the light source device 12 is used to compensate the illumination of the tobacco and tobacco leaves on the conveyor 4, so as to more clearly identify the debris. The specific detection adopts the AI ​​tobacco debris online detection system, which adopts the AI ​​artificial intelligence deep learning algorithm to complete the identification of debris in the tobacco, and provides a friendly human-computer interaction interface, and can view the detection photos and results in real time;
