There is fruit pulp in the barrel 5, one end of the guide pipe 4 is connected to the top of the barrel 5, and the other end of the guide pipe 4 is connected to the feeding pump 19. The feeding pump 19 is arranged above the material trough 16. When the feeding pump 19 is started, the fruit pulp in the barrel 5 can flow through the guide pipe 4 and be output from the feeding pump 19 to the material trough 16.

[0035] In order to prevent the pulp from splashing during the loading process, the diversion assembly is connected to the feed pump 19 and is arranged above the feeding trough 16. The diversion assembly includes a transition trough 20, a bracket and a diversion trough 27. The bracket includes two telescopic rods 18 and a conveyor belt 2. One end of the two telescopic rods 18 is fixed to both sides of the frame 1, and the other end is connected through a fixing ring 3. The transition trough 20 is connected to the fixing ring 3. The transition trough 20 is preferably funnel-shaped to prevent the pulp from accumulating at the bottom of the transition trough 20. One end of the guide pipe 4 is connected to the top of the transition trough 20, and the other end of the guide pipe 4 is connected to the feed pump 19. By adjusting the length of the two telescopic rods 18 to adjust the height of the transition trough 20, the guide pipe 4 can be better connected to the transition trough. trough 20 and feed pump 19, the fruit pulp output by feed pump 19 can flow into transition trough 20 through guide pipe 4; a discharge port is provided at the bottom of transition trough 20, a feed port 32 is provided at the top of guide trough 27, both ends of connecting pipe 21 are respectively threadedly connected with the discharge port and feed port 32, and feed port 32 is preferably multiple, and fruit pulp is output from one discharge port to multiple feed ports 32, so that fruit pulp can be spread more evenly on loading trough 16; connecting pipe 21 is preferably multiple, and by increasing the number of connecting pipes 21, the distance between guide trough 27 and loading trough 16 can be shortened to reduce the probability of fruit pulp splashing.

[0036] In order to allow the pulp to flow more smoothly into the feeding trough 16, a plurality of guide plates 23 are provided in the notch at the bottom of the guide trough 27. The plurality of guide plates 23 are arranged along the length direction of the notch. A rotating shaft 33 is provided at one end of the guide plate 23. The two ends of the rotating shaft 33 are rotatably connected to the two side walls of the notch and extend out of the notch. A butt plate 28 and a support block 24 are respectively installed at both ends of the guide trough 27. The butt plate 28 and the support block 24 extend outward from the outside of the guide trough 27 respectively. The support block 24 has a screw hole. One end of the worm 25 abuts against the butt plate 28. The other end of the worm 25 passes through the screw hole and is threadedly connected to the support block 24. The other end of the worm 25 is provided with a handle 22. The two ends of the rotating shaft 33 extend outward from the guide trough 27. The two ends of the rotating shaft 33 are fixed with a turbine 26. The turbine 26 can be adapted to the worm 25. When a person holds the handle 22, the turbine 26 can be adapted to the worm 25. When the handle 22 is held and the worm 25 is rotated, the worm 25 drives the turbine 26 to rotate to drive the rotating shaft 33 to rotate, and finally the guide plate 23 is rotated, so that the pulp flowing out of the feed port 32 can be buffered by the guide plate 23 and then flow into the feeding trough 16, which not only greatly reduces the splashing of the pulp, but also because after the rotating shaft 33 is rotated, the other end of the guide plate 23 is preferably directed to the other side of the conveyor belt 2. After the pulp is guided by the guide plate 23, the pulp will not accumulate on one side of the conveyor belt 2, and will not affect the progress of the next step.

[0037] When the loading mechanism loads the material, the spreading mechanism is also activated. The spreading mechanism includes a second support 7, a scraper 17, and a third cylinder 6. The second support 7 is fixed to the frame 1. One end of the third cylinder 6 is fixed to the second support 7, and the other end can extend in the opposite direction of the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 2. The scraper 17 is installed at the other end of the third cylinder 6. The scraper 17 is set above the feeding trough 16. The third cylinder 6 drives the scraper 17 to move to push the fruit pulp that exceeds the height of the feeding trough 16 into the feeding trough 16 at the rear, so as to prevent the fruit pulp from flowing out of the feeding trough 16 during transportation, causing waste.

[0038] The conveyor belt 2 continues to transport the fruit pulp to the working area of the foreign body removal mechanism. The visual camera 8 in the foreign body removal mechanism is installed above the material trough 16 through the fourth support 9. Among them, identifying foreign bodies by the visual camera 8 is a prior art; when the fruit pulp moves to the bottom of the visual camera 8, the conveyor belt 2 stops working, and the visual camera 8 detects whether there are foreign bodies in the fruit pulp. The foreign body removal mechanism also includes a push plate 10, a first support 14, a lifting mechanism, a first cylinder 12 and a blanking trough 15. The first support 14 is fixed on the frame 1, and the lifting mechanism is installed on the first support 14. The push plate 10 is fixed on the driving end of the first cylinder 12. The first cylinder 12 can drive the push plate 10 to move to the other side of the conveyor belt 2; the lifting mechanism includes a second cylinder 13 and a connecting block 11. One end of the second cylinder 13 is fixed on the first support 14, and the second cylinder 13 The other end is fixedly connected to the connecting block 11, the first cylinder 12 is fixed on the connecting block 11, and the blanking chute 15 is installed on the other side of the conveyor belt 2 and opposite to the push plate 10; when the visual camera 8 detects foreign matter in the chute 16, the second cylinder 13 first drives the connecting block 11 to descend to drive the push plate 10 to resist the conveyor belt 2, and then the first cylinder 12 drives the push plate 10 to scrape from one side of the chute 16 to the other side, so that the pulp with foreign matter can flow into the blanking chute 15.

[0039] In addition, during the process of conveying the pulp on the conveyor belt 2, in order to prevent the push plate 10 from failing to completely remove the pulp with foreign matter from the chute 16, the other side of the conveyor belt 2 is preferably lower than one side of the conveyor belt 2. Therefore, before the second cylinder 13 operates, the lifting assembly first lifts the other side of the conveyor belt 2 so that the push plate 10 can move completely along the conveyor belt 2 during operation, thereby ensuring that the pulp with foreign matter is removed from the chute 16. The lifting assembly includes a third support 29, a fourth cylinder 30, and a lifting block 31. The third support 29 is mounted on the frame 1 and located within the conveyor belt 2. One end of the fourth cylinder 30 is fixed to the third support 29, and the other end of the fourth cylinder 30 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 31. Before the removal operation is performed, the fourth cylinder 30 drives the lifting block 31 to lift the other side of the conveyor belt 2. The lifting assembly cooperates with the push plate 10 to prevent the pulp in the chute 16 from being completely removed.

[0040] To sum up, in this embodiment, the fruit pulp in the material barrel 5 is output to the conveyor belt 2 through the feeding pump 19, and the loading mechanism replaces manual loading, avoiding the risk of workers contaminating the fruit pulp during loading; the fruit pulp is transported by the conveyor belt 2 to the bottom of the visual camera 8. When the visual camera 8 detects the presence of foreign matter in the fruit pulp, the second cylinder 13 drives the push plate 10 to push the fruit pulp with foreign matter out of the conveyor belt 2 and allow it to flow into the chute 15. The visual camera 8 and the foreign matter removal mechanism cooperate to realize the function of automatic identification and removal of foreign matter, and can automatically load and automatically complete the removal action, which not only improves production efficiency but also ensures the quality and safety of the fruit pulp product.
