[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food processing, in particular to a radish sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing food processing requires that vegetables be cleaned and sorted in advance, then cut, and finally further processed. During the processing, the ingredients are sorted to select unqualified vegetables, such as size, shape, and quality. Among them, some vegetables, such as radishes, are well cut if the radishes are symmetrical and generally cylindrical in shape, and the size and appearance of the processed radish products, such as radish strips and radish slices, are more appropriate. However, the shape of the radish after maturity cannot be effectively controlled artificially, and individuals with distorted shapes are not easy to process mechanically, so they need to be selected. Most vegetable sorting devices now only sort radishes according to weight or size, and cannot distinguish some radishes that are not easy to process, resulting in the need for manual further sorting of them. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a radish sorting machine that can sort radishes by shape, select radishes whose appearance does not meet the processing requirements after cutting in advance, and reduce the labor intensity of workers. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a radish sorting machine, which solves the problem in the prior art that radishes whose appearance does not meet the processing requirements can not be sorted out in advance, which increases the labor intensity of workers in sorting vegetables.

[0019] The technical scheme in the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0020] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 A radish sorting machine shown in the figure includes a frame 1, a conveying component arranged on the top of the frame 1 and a sorting component connected to the frame 1. The conveying component is a transparent structure. The sorting component includes a support plate 2 arranged in parallel in the upper area of ​​the conveying component. A laser sensing device is also provided on the bottom of the support plate 2. The laser sensing device includes a plurality of densely arranged laser emitters 3. The coverage area of ​​the laser emitters 3 is larger than the flat top view area of ​​the radish. The laser emitters 3 are perpendicular to the support plate and face the surface of the conveying component. A laser receiver 31 is also provided at the bottom of the conveying component corresponding to the position below the laser emitter. Through the above mechanism, when there is no radish detection, the laser can pass through the transparent conveying component and be received by the laser receiver 31 below. When a radish is uniformly sent from the conveying component to the position of the laser sensing device, the shape of the radish is roughly calculated based on the number and position of the laser blocked by the radish to determine whether it meets the selection standard. Then, the radish that meets the standard is separated and removed by the relevant structure of the conveying component.

[0021] Further, according to Figure 2 As shown, the transmission component 1 includes a rotating shaft 4 arranged at the input end and the output end of the frame 1 and a motor 41 drivingly connected to one of the rotating shafts 4; the transmission component includes a conveyor belt 5 arranged around the rotating shaft and a glass plate 6 arranged between the lower surface of the conveyor belt and the top of the frame. Through the above mechanism, the transmission component can be automatically operated on the frame, and no manpower is required to transport the radish to be tested. The surface of the glass plate 6 is relatively smooth, which is also conducive to the movement and displacement of the radish on it.

[0022] Further, according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor belt 5 is provided with two parallel and opposite ones covering both sides of the glass plate 6. The glass plate 6 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 5 and fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. The conveyor belt 5 is also vertically provided with a vertical plate 51. The vertical plate 51 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 5 on both sides, and the middle bottom surface is arranged on the upper surface of the glass plate 6. The glass plate 6 is also provided with a discharge port, and an electric movable door 61 is also provided on the inner side of the discharge port. The laser sensing device is electrically connected to the electric movable door 61 through a single-chip controller.

[0023] Through the above structure, the conveyor belts 5 on both sides slide on the glass plate 6, driving the vertical plate 51 set on the conveyor belt 5 to move. Two separated and parallel conveyor belts 5 are used because the light transmittance of the conveyor belt 5 is not as good as that of glass, and if the conveyor belt 5 is not separated, it will completely cover the unloading port and the electric conveying door 61 on the glass plate 6. The radishes that pass the inspection cannot be separated and removed, and will be continuously transmitted to the output end. Therefore, the conveyor belt is divided into two, and the glass plate 6 in the middle is made of light-transmitting material, which will not block the laser emitted by the laser transmitter 3. When the radish is displaced and transmitted to the bottom of the support plate 2, part of the laser will be blocked, and the other unblocked lasers will be received by the laser receiver 31 as usual. The radishes that meet the laser detection standards will fall into the opened unloading port when passing through the electric trap door 61, completing the sorting of the radishes.

[0024] Further, according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feed port is arranged in front of the sorting component along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 5, and the bottom of the feed port is also provided with a collecting trough 62 extending outside the frame. Through the above structure, the radishes falling from the feed port can be collected by the collecting trough 62 to a collection point.

[0025] Further, according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the input end of the frame 1 along the conveying direction is obliquely provided with a feed plate 8, and the bottom of the output end is provided with a box 9. The input end of the conveyor belt 5 is provided with a railing 7 near the feed plate 8. Through the above structure, workers only need to place radishes on the feed plate 8 at the input end, and the radishes can be automatically sent to the conveying assembly on the oblique feed plate 8 with the help of gravity potential energy. The railing 7 can prevent the radishes from piling up at one time and affecting the judgment of the laser sensing device. The box 9 at the output end can collect the radishes that have not passed the shape detection.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
