When the cam rotates, the two adjacent lifting blocks can be intermittently docked and staggered, so that the fruit can be lifted and rolled in sequence.

[0006] Furthermore, the movable shafts are successively increased in height, and when the bottoms of the movable shafts are at the same height, the lifting blocks arranged on the tops are in the shape of steps with successively increased heights.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting block is trapezoidal, with the short sides facing in a direction of increasing height, and the lifting block is provided with a rolling groove a inclined toward the short side.

[0008] Furthermore, a roller is rotatably mounted on the top of the movable shaft;

[0009] The cam is provided with a wheel groove a adapted to the roller, and the roller is installed in the wheel groove a so as to be rollable and movable.

[0010] Furthermore, the cams are respectively mounted on the camshafts through interference fit, and both ends of the camshaft are rotatably mounted on the limiting frames through bearings.

[0011] Furthermore, the camshaft at either end is equipped with a motor via a coupling, and the motor and the limit frame are both installed on the base plate.

[0012] Furthermore, there are at least two visual inspection heads, which are installed directly above the lifting block via an inspection frame. The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] In the utility model, a ladder-shaped lifting block is provided with an increasing height in sequence, and an oblique rolling groove is provided on the lifting block. The lifting block lifts and turns the fruit in sequence through the staggered cams, that is, the fruit is detected on the next step, and when it is input to the upper step, it will roll in the rolling groove and roll to the other side, thus realizing turning and comprehensive detection.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), such directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0022] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing throughout the text includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or schemes in which A and B are satisfied at the same time. In addition, "multiple" refers to more than two. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model is a visual inspection machine with intelligent detection effect, including an input slot 1 and an output slot 2. A visual inspection head 4 is installed between the input slot 1 and the output slot 2. At least two adjacent lifting blocks 12 are arranged below the visual inspection head 4 and can lift and roll the fruits in sequence. The lifting blocks 12 are respectively fixed to the upper end of the movable shaft 11, and the lower end of the movable shaft 11 is respectively movably arranged on the surface of the cam 7. The two connected cams 7 are coaxial and staggered. When the cam 7 rotates, the two adjacent lifting blocks 12 can be intermittently docked and staggered, and the fruits 13 can be lifted and rolled in sequence.

[0024] How it works

[0025] When the fruit enters the bottom lifting block from the input slot, as the cam rotates, the two adjacent lifting blocks will dock in sequence. Since the lifting blocks are trapezoidal, they will roll and transport the fruit to be inspected. That is, the apple on the lower lifting block will roll to the upper lifting block when docking. This intermittent rolling and stopping process will turn the fruit over when rolling and inspect it when stopping. In this way, multi-point inspections of the same fruit can be performed, and the inspection results are more accurate.

[0026] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the movable shaft 11 increases in height successively. When the bottom of the movable shaft 11 is at the same height, the lifting block 12 arranged on the top is in the shape of a step with the same height increasing successively.

[0027] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the lifting block 12 is trapezoidal, with the short sides facing in a direction of increasing height, and a rolling groove 12a oblique to the short side is provided on the lifting block 12.

[0028] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, a roller 10 is rotatably mounted on the top of the movable shaft 11;

[0029] The cam 7 is provided with a wheel groove 7a adapted to the roller 10, and the roller 10 is installed in the wheel groove 7a so as to be rollable and movable.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the cams 7 are mounted on the camshafts 8 by interference fit, and both ends of the camshafts 8 are rotatably mounted on the limiting frames 6 through bearings.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the camshaft 8 at either end is equipped with a motor 9 through a coupling, and the motor 9 and the limit frame 6 are both installed on the base plate 5.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, there are at least two visual inspection heads 4 , which are installed directly above the lifting block 12 through the inspection frame 3 .

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
