Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fruit packaging and processing, and in particular to a separation device for automatic fruit identification and packaging. Background Art

[0002] After the fruits are ripe and picked, they are usually labeled and packed in boxes for easy transportation and sales. The boxes can effectively protect the fruits during transportation to avoid economic losses caused by impact damage.

[0003] At present, the automatic fruit identification and packing system is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a fruit conveying mechanism, and the fruit conveying mechanism is provided with support rods for carrying fruits at intervals, and the support rods are chain drive mechanisms. An identification mechanism is provided at the front end of the fruit conveying mechanism, and the identification mechanism includes an identification frame, and an identification camera is provided in the identification frame. A picking frame is provided on the other side of the identification mechanism, and a three-dimensional driving mechanism is provided in the picking frame. A rubber suction head is provided at the bottom of the three-dimensional driving mechanism, and a carton conveyor belt is also provided on one side of the fruit conveying mechanism. The process of automatic fruit identification and packing is as follows: the picked fruits are poured on the support rod and driven by the chain drive, and when the fruits are located at the bottom of the identification camera in the identification frame, photos are taken, and the background obtains the placement position of each fruit on the support rod according to the photos taken. When the fruits continue to be transported to the picking frame, the three-dimensional driving mechanism obtains the position information of the fruits after taking photos, and then drives the rubber suction head to suck multiple fruits in sequence, and after sucking, they are transferred to the carton placed on the carton conveyor belt on one side, thereby completing the automatic identification and packing operation of the fruits, which can greatly improve the packing operation efficiency after the fruits are picked.

[0004] As the instruction manual Figure 2 As shown in a, currently, after the picked fruits are dumped onto the support rods, the fruits will be piled up, and there will be occlusion between the fruits in the projection direction, so the recognition camera cannot accurately obtain the exact position of the piled fruits, and the rubber suction head cannot be used to effectively absorb them later, affecting the continuous packing operation of the fruits. It is necessary to manually pick up the piled fruits after dumping the fruits so that the recognition camera can accurately identify the position information of each fruit. Manual picking not only increases the operating cost, but also affects the efficiency of continuous recognition and packing of fruits. Summary of the invention

[0005] In response to the above-mentioned problems, the present application aims to provide a separation device for automatic identification and packing of fruits, which can drive fruits to be separated from a stacked state into an individual state, thereby solving the problems of increased operating costs and low efficiency of the current manual picking of stacked fruits.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a separation device for automatic identification and packing of fruits, the automatic identification and packing of fruits includes a fruit conveying mechanism, support rods for carrying fruits are arranged at intervals on the fruit conveying mechanism, and an identification mechanism is arranged at the front end of the fruit conveying mechanism, characterized in that: the separation device is arranged on the support rods and receives the fruits, and drives the fruits to be separated from a stacked state to an individual state.

[0007] Preferably, the separation device is a separation wheel which is sleeved on each of the support rods at intervals, and the circumferential surface of the separation wheel is configured to be an arc-shaped surface structure adapted to the surface of the fruit.

[0008] Preferably, a stratification plate is provided on one side of the identification mechanism facing the front end direction of the fruit conveying mechanism, and the bottom end height of the stratification plate is between the first layer and the second layer of fruits accumulated on the separation wheel.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber plate is provided at the front end of the layered plate.

[0010] The beneficial effect of the present application is that the separation device provided in the present application can drive the fruits to be separated from a stacked state into an individual state, that is, the stacked fruits can be separated and dispersed into an individual state by themselves through the separation device, and then the position information of each fruit can be accurately identified through the recognition camera in the subsequent process, and the rubber suction head can be driven by the three-dimensional driving mechanism to accurately absorb each fruit and place it in the paper box, completing the coherent fruit identification and packing operation, solving the problems of increased operating costs and low efficiency of the current manual picking of stacked fruits.

[0019] In order to enable ordinary technicians in the field to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution of the present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] See attached Figures 1 to 7 A separation device for automatic identification and packing of fruits is shown, and the automatic identification and packing of fruits includes a fruit conveying mechanism 1, on which support rods 11 for carrying fruits are arranged at intervals, and the support rods 11 are preferably a chain transmission drive mechanism, and also include an identification frame 21, an identification camera 22, a picking frame 5, a three-dimensional drive mechanism 51, a rubber suction head 52, a paper box conveyor belt 6 and other components. After automatically identifying the position information of the fruit, the three-dimensional drive mechanism can suck the fruit and place it in the paper box according to the position information, thereby realizing automatic identification and packing operations.

[0021] In order to solve the problem that fruits are easily piled up on the support rod 11 and need to be picked up manually, which affects the packing efficiency, the present application is provided with a separation device, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, it is arranged on the support rod 11 and receives the fruits, and drives the fruits to separate from the stacked state into the individual state, that is, the stacked fruits can be separated and dispersed into the individual state by the separation device, and then the position information of each fruit can be accurately identified through the recognition camera 22, and the rubber suction head 52 can be driven by the three-dimensional driving mechanism 51 to accurately absorb each fruit and place it in the paper box, thereby completing the coherent fruit identification and packing operation.

[0022] Specifically, Figure 3-4 As shown, the separation device is a separation wheel 3 that is sleeved on each of the support rods 11 at intervals, and the circumference of the separation wheel 3 is set to be an arc-shaped surface structure that is adapted to the surface of the fruit, that is, the specifications of the separation wheel are adapted to the specifications of the fruit. Among them, the circumference of the separation wheel 3 is preferably a smooth surface. After the fruits are poured and piled on multiple separation wheels 3, there is a height difference between the fruits piled up and down, and then they will slide down to the bearing space formed by the arc-shaped surface of the adjacent separation wheel 3 ( Figure 4 After the fruit falls, the placement direction of the fruit can be adjusted to be consistent through the carrying space formed by the adjacent separation wheels 3 to ensure the spacing between adjacent fruits, so that the position information of each fruit can be accurately identified later.

[0023] When the amount of dumped fruits is large, there may still be accumulation of fruits on the separation wheel 3, such as Figure 5Therefore, to solve this problem, Figure 6-7 As shown, a stratification plate 4 is provided on one side of the identification mechanism toward the front end direction of the fruit conveying mechanism 1, and the bottom end height of the stratification plate 4 is between the first layer and the second layer of fruits piled on the separation wheel 3. When the fruit conveying mechanism 1 conveys the poured fruits forward, if there is accumulation of fruits, the stratification plate 4 will "shovel" the fruits above the second layer backward, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, there is a gap between the first layer of fruits, and the "removed" fruits fall into the gap, thereby effectively solving the problem of fruit accumulation and further improving the continuity of subsequent fruit identification and packing operations.

[0024] In order to avoid the problem of hard damage to the fruit during the "sweeping" process of the above-mentioned layering plate 4, Figure 6 As shown, preferably, a rubber plate 41 is provided at the front end of the layered plate 4. The rubber plate 41 has a flexible characteristic and can avoid the problem of fruit damage caused by hard contact after contacting the fruit.

[0025] The principle of the present application is as follows: a separation wheel 3 is arranged on each support rod 11 of the fruit conveying mechanism 1, and the circumferential surface of the separation wheel 3 is arranged to be an arc-shaped surface structure adapted to the surface of the fruit. After the fruit is dumped and piled on a plurality of separation wheels 3, there is a height difference between the fruits piled up and down, and then the fruits will slide down to the bearing space formed by the arc-shaped surfaces of the adjacent separation wheels 3. After the fruit falls, the placement direction of the fruit can be adjusted to be consistent through the bearing space formed by the adjacent separation wheels 3, thereby ensuring the spacing between adjacent fruits, and then the position information of each fruit can be accurately identified later.

[0026] When there may still be accumulation of fruits on the separation wheel 3, a layering plate 4 is provided on the side of the identification mechanism toward the front end direction of the fruit conveying mechanism 1. When the fruit conveying mechanism 1 conveys the poured fruits forward, if there is accumulation of fruits, the fruits above the second layer are "shoveled" backwards by the layering plate 4 until there is a gap between the fruits in the first layer, and the "shoveled" fruits fall into the gap, thereby effectively solving the problem of accumulation of fruits and further improving the continuity of subsequent fruit identification and packing operations.

[0027] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, the present application may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present application to be protected.
