The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] See also Figure 1-3 A mandarin orange cleaning device for a mandarin orange production line includes a conveyor belt 1 and a cleaning box 2. The cleaning box 2 is used to accommodate mandarin oranges to be cleaned. The conveyor belt 1 enters the cleaning box 2 from one side of the cleaning box 2 and exits from the other side of the cleaning box 2. A plurality of nozzles 3 are provided in the cleaning box 2. Each nozzle 3 faces the conveyor belt 1. The nozzle 3 is connected to a water source through a pipe 4 and can automatically adjust the spraying angle and water flow according to the number and size of the mandarin oranges.
[0033] The water circulation system includes a water tank, a water pump and a pipe 4, through which the water is transported to the nozzle 3;
[0034] Drainage system: a drain outlet 5 or sewage recovery device is provided below the cleaning box 2;
[0035] The vibration device 6 is arranged at the bottom of the conveyor belt 1. The vibration device 6 includes a plurality of independently controlled electric vibrators, which can adjust the vibration frequency, amplitude and duration according to the cleaning requirements to improve the spin of the oranges and the removal of surface dirt.
[0036] During use, the oranges are located above the conveyor belt 1 and enter the cleaning box 2 from one side of the cleaning box 2. Inside the cleaning box 2, the nozzle 3 sprays water through the pipe 4 and the water pump to clean the stains on the surface of the oranges on the conveyor belt 1. Multiple independently controlled electric vibrators vibrate the bottom of the conveyor belt 1, so that the oranges located above the conveyor belt 1 are in a cycle of throwing up and falling repeatedly. During this process, due to the uneven force on the surface of the oranges, the oranges will rotate randomly, so that multiple aspects are aligned with the nozzle 3 for cleaning, so as to improve the cleaning efficiency of the oranges. The cleaned oranges are transmitted from the other end of the cleaning box 2 through the conveyor belt 1 to proceed to the next process. The sewage after cleaning enters the drain outlet 5 or the sewage recovery device from the drainage system below the cleaning box 2.
[0037] Furthermore, side plates 7 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1, and a flip roller 8 is rotatably connected between the two side plates 7. A flip plate 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the flip roller 8. A rotating motor is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 1. The oranges on the conveyor belt 1 can pass through the flip plate 9 and move from one side of the flip roller 8 to the other side.
[0038] When in use, the flip roller 8 is rotated by the rotating motor and drives the flip plate 9 to rotate. The flip plate 9 lifts the oranges on the conveyor belt 1 from the bottom of the conveyor belt 1, and then rotates 180°. The oranges are also flipped 180°, so that the nozzle 3 can clean the bottom of the oranges. By installing multiple flip rollers 8 on the conveyor belt 1, the cleaning amount of each surface of the oranges can be increased and the cleaning quality can be improved.
[0039] In order to further increase the cleaning effect of the contact surface of the conveyor belt 1 with the oranges, the conveyor belt 1 is mesh-shaped, and multiple nozzles 3 are arranged below the conveyor belt 1 facing the conveyor belt 1, so that water can clean the oranges through the mesh holes on the conveyor belt 1.
[0040] The pipe 4 can be set up as follows: the pipe 4 is set on the side wall inside the cleaning box 2 and surrounds the conveyor belt 1. Multiple nozzles 3 are installed in parallel on the pipe 4. The water tank is set on the outside of the cleaning box 2. The pipe 4 extends to the water tank and can transport the water flow in the water tank to the nozzle 3 through a water pump.
[0041] The nozzle 3 is arranged in a ring shape around the conveyor belt 1. The baffle can be hollowed out or set in a mesh shape in the water flow path of the nozzle 3, so that the water flow can clean the mandarin oranges on the conveyor belt 1 from all directions. Furthermore, the pipe 4 can be arranged in series along the direction of the conveyor belt 1 to form a shape surrounding the conveyor belt 1, and the nozzle 3 is installed here.
[0042] The conveyor belt 1 is provided with a detection device 10 at the exit of the cleaning box 2. The detection device 10 surrounds the conveyor belt 1. The detection device 10 can detect whether there are residual dirt or pesticide residues on the oranges on the conveyor belt 1. If the oranges do not meet the expected production standards, the detection device 10 will alarm in time.
[0043] Detection device 10 uses an advanced automated visual inspection system to analyze the surface of fruit to detect residual dirt or pesticides. This system, typically combined with a high-resolution camera and image processing algorithms, is one of the most innovative technologies currently used in industry and agriculture to improve food quality control. Such systems are commonly used in fruit and vegetable cleaning, packaging, and quality sorting processes, enabling efficient and accurate real-time detection.
[0044] The system first uses a high-resolution camera (such as a 4K, 8K, or higher resolution camera) to perform a comprehensive scan of the fruit. The camera captures the surface of the fruit, including every detail of the skin, blemishes, and surface contaminants. The camera configuration typically has multiple viewing angles or uses multiple light sources (such as visible light and infrared) to capture a variety of surface information. By using different light source bands, the system can capture contaminants and pesticide residues that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.
[0045] The captured images are analyzed by image processing software, which uses computer vision (CV) and machine learning techniques to identify details in the images and detect whether there are any unclean areas on the fruit surface.
[0046] The main image processing steps include:
[0047] Feature extraction: The system extracts surface features of the fruit, such as color, texture, shape, etc., and compares them with pre-set standard images.
[0048] Defect recognition: Algorithms can identify surface dirt, scratches, spots, insect damage, etc., which are common signs of improper cleaning.
[0049] Pesticide residue analysis: By identifying changes in the color and texture of pesticide residues, or even using specific wavelengths of light (such as near-infrared), the system can analyze and estimate the extent of pesticide residues.
[0050] Based on the analysis, the system assigns a cleanliness score to the fruit. This score is usually a percentage or a number that indicates the cleanliness of the fruit's surface. If the system detects a low-scoring mandarin orange, it will immediately issue an alarm.
[0051] Scoring is based on several factors:
[0052] Visible dirt: such as mud, dust, pollutants on fruit peels, etc.
[0053] Pesticide residues: Computer vision-based judgment of possible pesticide residue areas or changes.
[0054] Physical defects: such as scratches and brown spots on the fruit skin, may also be caused by incomplete washing process.
[0055] Color and brightness analysis: Sometimes, surface contamination can cause the fruit to appear dark or uneven in color, and image processing algorithms are able to detect these subtle variations.
[0056] The nozzle 3 can adjust the amount of water output and is electrically connected to the detection device 10. After the detection system issues an alarm, the amount of water output can be adjusted to the maximum. If the subsequent Wogan score is still too low, the production line will be stopped and the management personnel will be notified.
[0057] The foregoing descriptions of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention are for the purpose of illustration and description. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed, and it is obvious that many changes and variations can be made based on the above teachings. Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations on the present invention. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. The purpose of selecting and describing the exemplary embodiments is to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, so that those skilled in the art can make modifications, substitutions, variations and various different choices and changes to the embodiments without creative contribution as needed after reading this specification without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
