DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides an intelligent sorting device, including a body 1, support plates 2 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the body 1, a collection box 3 is provided on the top of the body 1, an image collection camera 4 is installed inside the collection box 3, and the image collection camera 4 is electrically connected to an image processor 12, a controller 6 is provided on one side of the body 1, and the image processor 12 is electrically connected to the controller 6, and a conveying component 7 is provided inside the body 1; the conveying component 7 includes a chain 71, a servo motor 72, a conveying basket 73, a connecting frame 74, a rolling wheel 75, a balance plate 76 and a rubber Rubber strip 77; chain 71 is arranged inside the body 1, servo motor 72 is installed at one end of the body 1, the output end of servo motor 72 is transmission-connected to chain 71, servo motor 72 is electrically connected to controller 6, connecting frames 74 are equidistantly arranged on the outside of chain 71, the inside of connecting frame 74 is rotatably connected to a conveying basket 73 on the side away from chain 71, and one side of conveying basket 73 is rotatably connected to a rolling wheel 75 at an equidistant distance, and balance plates 76 are provided on both sides of conveying basket 73, balance plates 76 are cooperatively connected to support plate 2, and rubber strip 77 is cooperatively connected to rolling wheel 75.

[0025] During the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the body 1 is the external supporting shell of the sorting equipment. The body 1, chain 71, servo motor 72, conveying basket 73, connecting frame 74 and roller wheel 75 cooperate to form a fruit and vegetable conveying mechanism, wherein the size of the conveying basket 73 and the roller wheel 75 needs to be selected according to the type and size of the sorted fruits and vegetables, so that only a single fruit and vegetable can be conveyed in a single conveying basket 73, avoiding the stacking or unloading failure of fruits and vegetables caused by too large a size difference. The servo motor 72 drives the chain 71 through the sprocket, so that the chain 71 drives the conveying basket 73 and the connecting frame 74 to move inside the body 1. After the fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the top of the conveying basket 73 by the loading device, the conveying basket 73 and the roller wheel 75 support the fruits and vegetables to ensure that the conveying basket 73 can only drive a single fruit and vegetable for conveyance, so that the fruits and vegetables can be conveyed stably, and the conveying basket 73 can be rotated sideways at the top of the connecting frame 74 to perform the fruit and vegetable unloading operation.

[0026] The visual recognition system is formed by the coordination between the body 1, the acquisition housing 3, the image acquisition camera 4, the controller 6, and the image processor 12. The image acquisition camera 4 captures images of fruits and vegetables and transmits them in real time to the image processor 12. The image processor 12 compares the images with pre-entered image parameters, classifies and labels the fruits and vegetables according to quality, size, and color, and transmits the classification label information in real time to the controller 6 to facilitate subsequent sorting operations of the fruits and vegetables by the controller 6. The specific algorithm for image recognition performed by the image processor 12 can refer to conventional image recognition techniques and is not limited or elaborated upon herein.

[0027] Through the coordination among the machine body 1, the support plate 2, the chain 71, the servo motor 72, the conveying basket 73, the connecting frame 74 and the balance plate 76, during the conveying process of fruits and vegetables, the support plates 2 on both sides of the machine body 1 form a limit for the balance plate 76, so that the conveying basket 73 and the fruits and vegetables remain stable and prevent the fruits and vegetables from falling during the conveying process. In addition, the support plate 2 has a gap at the sorting channel of each grade. Under the push of the driving device, the conveying basket 73 rotates toward the side of the sorting channel at the gap of the sorting channel of the corresponding grade, and then the fruits and vegetables are sorted and unloaded. Through the cooperation among the chain 71, servo motor 72, conveying basket 73, connecting frame 74, rolling wheel 75, balance plate 76 and rubber strip 77, when the conveying basket 73 drives the fruits and vegetables to move into the collection box 3, friction is generated between the rubber strip 77 and the rolling wheel 75. As the conveying basket 73 moves, the rolling wheel 75 rotates, causing the fruits and vegetables to roll inside the conveying basket 73, facilitating the visual recognition system to fully scan and identify the fruits and vegetables.

[0028] Through the coordination among the body 1, the support plate 2, the acquisition box 3, the image acquisition camera 4, the controller 6, the image processor 12, the chain 71, the servo motor 72, the conveying basket 73, the connecting frame 74, the tumbling wheel 75, the balance plate 76 and the rubber strip 77, the sizes of the conveying basket 73 and the tumbling wheel 75 are selected according to the types and sizes of the fruits and vegetables to be sorted, so that only a single fruit or vegetable can be conveyed in a single conveying basket 73. After the fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the image acquisition area, the friction between the rubber strip 77 and the tumbling wheel 75 causes the tumbling wheel 75 to rotate, driving the fruits and vegetables to tumble inside the conveying basket 73, so as to facilitate the visual recognition system to perform a comprehensive scanning and grade identification of the fruits and vegetables, so as to subsequently accurately remove defective fruits and vegetables and sort the fruits and vegetables according to the set grades, thereby ensuring the consistency of the quality grading of fruits and vegetables, improving the efficiency and accuracy of fruit and vegetable sorting, reducing labor costs and error rates, and better protecting the quality of fruits and vegetables.

[0029] The specific types and models of the image acquisition camera 4, the controller 6, the image processor 12 and the servo motor 72 can adopt existing devices in the prior art and are not limited here, as long as they meet the usage requirements.
