Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of potato sorting and peeling equipment, in particular to a potato sorting and peeling equipment. Background Art

[0002] Potato is an annual herbaceous plant of the Solanaceae family and Solanum genus. During the production and processing of potatoes, sorting and peeling equipment is usually used to clean and peel them, and classify them according to the diameter size.

[0003] During the process of using the current potato sorting and peeling equipment, the staff often find that there are some bad fruits in the potatoes themselves, and some potatoes will be damaged during the cleaning and peeling process. And the current grading equipment usually only classifies the potatoes according to their sizes, and then manual inspection is required one by one to check whether the potatoes are damaged, which leads to the reduction of processing efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the defects existing in the prior art, and to propose a potato sorting and peeling equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: A potato sorting and peeling equipment, including a bottom plate, a cleaning box is fixedly connected to the bottom plate, a water spraying pipe is fixedly connected in the cleaning box, several grinding rollers are rotatably connected in the cleaning box, a discharge port is opened on one side of the cleaning box, a door panel is slidably inserted on the cleaning box, a conveying platform is fixedly connected to the bottom plate, a conveyor belt is arranged on the conveying platform, a screening plate is arranged on the bottom plate, a sorting structure is arranged on the conveying platform, the sorting structure is mainly composed of a vision detector, the vision detector is fixedly connected to the conveying platform, an industrial camera is fixedly connected to the vision detector, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the conveying platform, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, a pushing plate is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder, and a collection box is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying platform.

[0006] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: Potatoes are put into the cleaning tank, the nozzles on the shower pipes are started to spray water to wash the potatoes, and several polishing rollers are started to rotate to peel the potatoes. After the cleaning and peeling are completed, the door panel is slid upward so that the potatoes fall onto the conveyor belt through the discharge port. The conveyor belt conveys the potatoes to the screening plate, and potatoes of different sizes fall through the apertures of different sizes on the screening plate and fall onto different production lines for the next operation. After the potatoes are peeled and being conveyed on the conveyor belt, they will enter the vision detector. The vision detector sends a signal to the image acquisition unit, and the industrial camera receives the instruction to take pictures of the products. The image acquisition unit digitizes the received signal and performs calculations through vision software to detect whether the potatoes are damaged. The result detected by the vision detector is fed back to the processor, and the processor is fed back to the controller. When the detection result is a defective product, the controller will control the cylinder to start, and then drive the push plate to push the defective product into the collection box, thus avoiding the situation where the current grading equipment usually only classifies potatoes by size, and subsequent manual inspection of whether each potato is damaged is required, resulting in a reduction in processing efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, two rectangular plates are fixedly connected to the bottom plate, two round rods are slidably inserted into the rectangular plates, and a guide plate is slidably connected to the two round rods together.

[0008] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: The two guide plates can guide and slow down the flow of potatoes, preventing a large number of potatoes from entering the vision detector at the same time and reducing the accuracy of detection.

[0009] Preferably, springs are sleeved on the round rods, one end of each spring is fixedly connected to the rectangular plate, and the other end of each spring is fixedly connected to the round rod.

[0010] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: When the size of the potatoes is large, it will push the two guide plates to slide outward, making the springs in a contracted state. Therefore, the elastic force of the springs rebounds and acts on the guide plates. When smaller potatoes pass through, the guide plates can adjust the spacing by themselves, making the operation more convenient.

[0011] Preferably, several rollers are rotatably connected to the guide plate.

[0012] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: The rollers contact the potatoes. As the conveyor belt drives the potatoes forward, the rollers rotate, which can reduce the resistance to the potatoes and prevent the potatoes from getting stuck between the two guide plates and being difficult to move forward.

[0013] Preferably, a reciprocating structure is arranged on the bottom plate. The reciprocating structure mainly consists of four vertical rods. The four vertical rods are all fixedly connected to the bottom plate. A sliding rod is slidably connected in the vertical rods. The four sliding rods are fixedly connected to the screening plate. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the two sliding rods at one end.

[0014] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: The sliding rod can slide up and down to drive the screening plate to slide up and down, thereby vibrating the potatoes and improving the screening efficiency.

[0015] Preferably, rotating shafts are rotatably connected to both of the upright rods, and elliptical blocks are fixedly connected to the rotating shafts.

[0016] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: Rotating the rotating shaft will drive the elliptical block to rotate. When the major axis end of the elliptical block contacts the connecting rod, it will push the sliding rod to drive the screening plate to slide upward. When the major axis end of the elliptical block moves away from the connecting rod, the screening plate will slide downward under its own gravity, thereby realizing reciprocating vibration.

[0017] Preferably, pulleys are fixedly connected to both of the rotating shafts, and a transmission belt is provided between the two pulleys.

[0018] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: Rotating one rotating shaft will drive one pulley to rotate. Under the action of the transmission belt, the two pulleys rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two elliptical blocks to rotate synchronously, making the operation more convenient.

[0019] Preferably, an equipment plate is fixedly connected to the bottom plate, and a motor is fixedly connected to the equipment plate. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts.

[0020] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: Starting the motor, the output shaft of the motor drives one rotating shaft to rotate, making the operation more convenient.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present utility model are as follows. In the present utility model, by setting a sorting structure, after the potatoes are peeled, when they are transported on the conveyor belt, they will enter the vision detector. The vision detector sends a signal to the image acquisition unit. The industrial camera receives the instruction to take pictures of the products. The image acquisition unit digitizes the received signal and uses vision software to calculate and detect whether the potatoes are damaged. The detection result of the vision detector is fed back to the processor, and the processor feeds back to the controller. When the detection result is a defective product, the controller will control the cylinder to start, and then drive the push plate to push the defective product into the collection box. The two guide plates can guide and slow down the flow of the potatoes to prevent a large number of potatoes from entering the vision detector at the same time, reducing the accuracy of detection. When the size of the potatoes is large, it will push the two guide plates to slide outwards, making the spring in a contracted state. Therefore, the elastic force of the spring's rebound acts on the guide plates. When smaller potatoes pass through, the guide plates can adjust the spacing by themselves, making the operation more convenient. The rollers contact the potatoes, and the conveyor belt drives the potatoes forward. The rollers rotate, which can reduce the resistance to the potatoes and prevent the potatoes from getting stuck between the two guide plates and being difficult to move forward, thus avoiding the situation where the current grading equipment usually only classifies the potatoes by size, and subsequent manual inspection of whether each potato is damaged is required, resulting in a reduction in processing efficiency.

Detailed implementation

[0028] Example 1, as Figure 1 shown, a potato sorting and peeling device includes a bottom plate 1, a cleaning box 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1, a sprinkler pipe 3 is fixedly connected in the cleaning box 2, several polishing rollers 4 are rotatably connected in the cleaning box 2, a discharge port 5 is opened on one side of the cleaning box 2, a door panel 6 is slidably inserted on the cleaning box 2, a conveyor table 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1, a conveyor belt is arranged on the conveyor table 7, and a screening plate 10 is arranged on the bottom plate 1.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, a sorting structure 8 is provided on the transfer table 7. The sorting structure 8 mainly consists of a vision detector 81. The vision detector 81 is fixedly connected to the transfer table 7. An industrial camera 82 is fixedly connected to the vision detector 81. A fixing plate 83 is fixedly connected to the transfer table 7. A cylinder 84 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 83. A push plate 85 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 84. A collection box 86 is fixedly connected to one side of the transfer table 7. Put the potatoes into the cleaning box 2, start the spray head on the water spraying pipe 3 to spray water for rinsing the potatoes, and start several polishing rollers 4 to rotate for peeling the potatoes. After the cleaning and peeling are completed, slide the door panel 6 upward so that the potatoes fall onto the conveyor belt through the discharge port 5. The conveyor belt conveys the potatoes to the screening plate 10. Potatoes of different sizes fall through the apertures of different sizes on the screening plate 10 and fall onto different production lines for the next operation. After the potatoes are peeled and being conveyed on the conveyor belt, they will enter the vision detector 81. The vision detector 81 sends a signal to the image acquisition unit. The industrial camera 82 receives the instruction to take pictures of the product. The image acquisition unit digitizes the received signal and performs arithmetic operations through the vision software to detect whether the potatoes are damaged. The result detected by the vision detector 81 is fed back to the processor, and the processor is fed back to the controller. When the detection result is a defective product, the controller will control the cylinder 84 to start, and then drive the push plate 85 to push the defective product into the collection box 86, thus avoiding the situation that the current grading equipment usually only classifies the potatoes by size, and subsequent manual inspection of whether each potato is damaged is required, resulting in a reduction in processing efficiency. Two rectangular plates 87 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. Two round rods 88 are slidably inserted into the rectangular plates 87. A guide plate 89 is slidably connected to the two round rods 88 together. The two guide plates 89 can guide and slow down the flow of the potatoes, preventing a large number of potatoes from entering the vision detector 81 at the same time and reducing the detection accuracy. A spring 810 is sleeved on the round rod 88. One end of the spring 810 is fixedly connected to the rectangular plate 87, and the other end of the spring 810 is fixedly connected to the round rod 88. When the size of the potato is relatively large, it will push the two guide plates 89 to slide outward, making the spring 810 in a contracted state. Therefore, the resilient force of the spring 810 acts on the guide plate 89. When smaller potatoes pass through, the guide plate 89 can adjust the spacing by itself, making the operation more convenient. Several rollers 811 are rotatably connected to the guide plate 89. The rollers 811 are in contact with the potatoes. The conveyor belt drives the potatoes to move forward, and the rollers 811 rotate, which can reduce the resistance to the potatoes and prevent the potatoes from getting stuck between the two guide plates 89 and being difficult to move forward.

[0030] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, a reciprocating structure 9 is provided on the bottom plate 1. The reciprocating structure 9 mainly consists of four vertical rods 91. The four vertical rods 91 are all fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. A sliding rod 92 is slidably connected in the vertical rod 91. The four sliding rods 92 are fixedly connected to the screening plate 10. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the two sliding rods 92 at one end. The sliding rod 92 can slide up and down to drive the screening plate 10 to slide up and down, thereby vibrating the potatoes and improving the screening efficiency. Rotating shafts 95 are rotatably connected to both of the two vertical rods 91. An elliptical block 96 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 95. Rotating the rotating shaft 95 will drive the elliptical block 96 to rotate. When the major axis end of the elliptical block 96 contacts the connecting rod, it will push the sliding rod 92 to drive the screening plate 10 to slide upward. When the major axis end of the elliptical block 96 moves away from the connecting rod, the screening plate 10 will slide downward under its own gravity, thereby realizing reciprocating vibration. Pulley wheels 97 are fixedly connected to both of the two rotating shafts 95. A transmission belt 98 is provided on the two pulley wheels 97. Rotating one rotating shaft 95 will drive one pulley wheel 97 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission belt 98, the two pulley wheels 97 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two elliptical blocks 96 to rotate synchronously, making the operation more convenient. An equipment plate 93 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. A motor 94 is fixedly connected to the equipment plate 93. The output shaft of the motor 94 is fixedly connected to one rotating shaft 95. Starting the motor 94, the output shaft of the motor 94 drives one rotating shaft 95 to rotate, making the operation more convenient.

[0031] Working principle: Put the potatoes into the cleaning box 2, start the nozzles on the water spraying pipe 3 to spray water on the potatoes for rinsing, and start several polishing rollers 4 to rotate for peeling the potatoes. After the cleaning and peeling are completed, slide the door panel 6 upward so that the potatoes fall onto the conveyor belt through the discharge port 5. The conveyor belt conveys the potatoes to the screening plate 10. Potatoes of different sizes fall through different-sized apertures on the screening plate 10 and fall onto different production lines for the next operation. After the potatoes are peeled and being conveyed on the conveyor belt, they will enter the vision detector 81. The vision detector 81 sends a signal to the image acquisition unit. The industrial camera 82 receives the instruction to take pictures of the products. The image acquisition unit digitizes the received signal and performs operations through the vision software to detect whether the potatoes are damaged. The result detected by the vision detector 81 is fed back to the processor, and the processor is fed back to the controller. When the detection result is a defective product, the controller will control the cylinder 84 to start, and then drive the push plate 85 to push the defective product into the collection box 86, thus avoiding the situation that the current grading equipment usually only classifies the potatoes by size, and subsequent manual inspection of whether the potatoes are damaged one by one, which results in a reduction in processing efficiency. The two guide plates 89 can guide and slow down the flow of the potatoes to prevent a large number of potatoes from entering the vision detector 81 at the same time, reducing the accuracy of detection. When the size of the potatoes is large, it will push the two guide plates 89 to slide outward, making the spring 810 in a contracted state. Therefore, the elastic force of the spring 810 acts on the guide plate 89. When smaller potatoes pass through, the guide plate 89 can adjust the distance by itself, making the operation more convenient. The roller 811 contacts the potatoes, and the conveyor belt drives the potatoes forward. The roller 811 rotates, which can reduce the resistance to the potatoes and prevent the potatoes from getting stuck between the two guide plates 89 and being difficult to move forward. The sliding rod 92 can slide up and down to drive the screening plate 10 to slide up and down, thereby vibrating the potatoes and improving the screening efficiency. Rotating the rotating shaft 95 will drive the elliptical block 96 to rotate. When the long diameter end of the elliptical block 96 contacts the connecting rod, it will push the sliding rod 92 to drive the screening plate 10 to slide upward. When the long diameter end of the elliptical block 96 is away from the connecting rod, the screening plate 10 will slide downward under its own gravity, thus realizing reciprocating vibration. Rotating one rotating shaft 95 will drive one pulley 97 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission belt 98, the two pulleys 97 rotate synchronously, and then drive the two elliptical blocks 96 to rotate synchronously, making the operation more convenient. Start the motor 94, and the output shaft of the motor 94 drives one rotating shaft 95 to rotate, making the operation more convenient.
