[0002] In today's grain production and processing industries, inspecting grain's appearance quality is crucial. Grain visual inspection instruments, used to assess grain appearance quality, combine optical imaging and computer image processing technologies. A high-resolution camera captures images of grain samples and uses image processing algorithms to extract characteristic appearance parameters such as shape, size, and color. The instrument automatically measures individual grain grains, including area, major diameter, minor diameter, aspect ratio, roundness, and equivalent diameter. Multi-parameter analysis capabilities enable a comprehensive assessment of grain appearance quality.

[0026] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an artificial intelligence analyzer for grain quality described in one embodiment of the present invention includes a conveying mechanism 1 and a detecting mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a transparent turntable 101. A guide rail 102 is arranged above the transparent turntable 101, and the transparent turntable 101 drives the material to be tested to move along the guide rail 102; the detecting mechanism 2 is provided with cameras 201 above and below the transparent turntable 101. The lens of the camera 201 faces the path of the guide rail 102 to collect the image of the material to be tested. The camera 201 is electrically connected to a host computer 202 for analyzing the image of the material to be tested.

[0029] During operation, the grain to be tested is placed on a transparent turntable 101, which begins to rotate at a constant speed, simultaneously moving the grain along a guide rail 102. As the grain moves, cameras 201 located above and below the turntable 101 operate simultaneously, their lenses focused on the path of the guide rail 102, capturing 360-degree images of the grain. The captured image data is transmitted in real time to a host computer 202 for processing and analysis. Using built-in image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence models, host computer 202 rapidly analyzes the captured images, identifying key features such as the grain's color, shape, and size, and using this information to determine the grain's quality.

[0030] In this embodiment, the integrated conveying mechanism 1 and detection mechanism 2 enable automatic conveying and real-time detection of grain, avoiding the tedious operations of frequent loading and unloading of grains required in traditional methods and improving detection efficiency. Secondly, the use of a transparent turntable 101 and upper and lower dual cameras 201 ensure that the grain to be tested can be captured in all directions during movement, thereby improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of detection. Finally, the host computer 202 has built-in image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence models that can quickly and accurately identify the key characteristics of grain and provide accurate quality assessment results.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a feeding mechanism 3 is provided at the first end of the guide rail 102, and a receiving mechanism 4 is provided at the second end. The feeding mechanism 3 is used to put the material to be tested onto the transparent turntable 101, and the receiving mechanism 4 is used to recycle the tested material.

[0032] When the analyzer begins operation, the feed mechanism 3 automatically places the grain to be tested onto the transparent turntable 101. The turntable rotates at a constant speed, moving the grain along the guide rail 102. The grain is then photographed and analyzed by the camera 201 of the detection mechanism 2. When the grain reaches the second end of the guide rail 102, the tested grain is guided by the guide rail 102 and falls into the receiving mechanism 4, which removes the tested grain from the turntable and places it in a designated collection area.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 can automatically and accurately feed the grain to be tested, reducing the errors and labor intensity of manual operation and improving the automation level of the testing process. Secondly, the receiving mechanism 4 can promptly recover the tested grain, preventing the grain from accumulating or scattering on the turntable, and ensuring a clean and orderly testing environment. The automated feeding and recovery method not only improves testing efficiency but also ensures the continuity and stability of the testing process. In addition, due to the reduction of human intervention, the test results are more accurate and reliable, providing higher-quality quality assessment services for processes such as grain production and processing.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a first hopper 301 for storing the material to be tested, and a feeding channel 302 is provided below the first hopper 301. The first end of the feeding channel 302 is higher than the second end. The first end of the feeding channel 302 is located below the discharge port of the first hopper 301, and the second end of the feeding channel 302 is located above the transparent turntable 101 and inside the first end of the guide rail 102.

[0035] A vibration device 303 is connected below the feed channel 302. The vibration device 303 drives the feed channel 302 to vibrate to disperse the material. The vibration device 303 is a vibration motor 105, a pneumatic vibrator, or a hydraulic vibrator.

[0036] During operation, the material to be tested is stored in the first hopper 301 and flows out of the hopper's outlet. Because the first end of the feed channel 302 is higher than the second end, the material naturally slides into the channel. When the material reaches the second end of the channel, it is positioned directly above the transparent turntable 101 and accurately deposited into the first end of the guide rail 102. Simultaneously, a vibration device 303, mounted below the feed channel 302, disperses the material evenly within the channel.

[0037] In this embodiment, the coordination between the first hopper 301 and the feed channel 302 enables automatic delivery of the material to be tested, thereby improving the automation level of the testing process. Furthermore, the feed channel 302 allows the material to slide naturally, eliminating the need for a transport power unit and conserving energy. The use of the vibration device 303 further improves the uniformity of material delivery, effectively preventing accumulation and clogging of materials during delivery, improving testing efficiency, preventing overlap, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of test results.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the material receiving mechanism 4 includes a second hopper 401 located below the second end of the guide rail 102, and a discharge channel 402 is provided below the second hopper 401. The first end of the discharge channel 402 is higher than the second end, and the first end of the discharge channel 402 is located below the discharge port of the second hopper 401.

[0039] After the material to be tested completes quality inspection on the transparent turntable 101, it moves with the turntable to the second end of the guide rail 102. Because the transparent turntable 101 is located above the second hopper 401, the tested material is guided by the guide rail 102 and can slide smoothly into the second hopper 401. The material then flows out of the discharge port of the second hopper 401 and into the discharge channel 402 below. Because the first end of the discharge channel 402 is higher than the second end, the material naturally slides along the channel and is ultimately discharged from the second end of the discharge channel 402.

[0040] In this embodiment, the coordinated use of the second hopper 401 and the discharge channel 402 allows the measured material to be quickly and accurately collected and discharged, preventing material retention and accumulation within the device. This not only improves the automation level of the device but also ensures a clean and orderly testing environment. Furthermore, the automated operation of the material receiving mechanism 4 reduces the operator's labor intensity and improves work efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the guide rail 102 includes a first curved baffle 103 and a second curved baffle 104, the first curved baffle 103, the second curved baffle 104 and the transparent turntable 101 are concentrically arranged, the first curved baffle 103 and the second curved baffle 104 are equidistant, and the first curved baffle 103 and the second curved baffle 104 form a transport channel on the transparent turntable 101.

[0042] When the material to be tested falls from the feed channel 302 onto the transparent turntable 101, it is located between the first curved baffle 103 and the second curved baffle 104. Because the first and second curved baffles 103 and 104 form a transport channel on the transparent turntable 101, the material continues to rotate and is stably transported within this channel. When it reaches the second end of the guide rail 102, the material slides off the turntable and enters the material receiving mechanism 4.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first curved baffle 103 and the second curved baffle 104 are concentrically arranged with the transparent turntable 101 and are equidistantly spaced, forming a stable transport channel. This ensures the stability and reliability of materials during transport, effectively preventing them from falling off the transparent turntable during transport, and ensuring stable transport. Furthermore, the coordinated operation of the guide rail 102 and the transparent turntable 101 makes the entire inspection process smoother and more efficient, reducing the operator's workload and improving work efficiency.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a motor 105 is provided below the transparent turntable 101 , and the output shaft of the motor 105 is in transmission connection with the center of the transparent turntable 101 , and the motor 105 is used to drive the transparent turntable 101 to rotate.

[0045] The output shaft of motor 105 is connected to the center of transparent turntable 101. As motor 105 rotates, transparent turntable 101 also begins to rotate at a constant speed. Stepper motor 105 precisely controls the speed, ensuring a uniform rotation of transparent turntable 101. This ensures that materials are evenly distributed on the turntable and pass through the inspection area in sequence. Furthermore, stepper motor 105 can adjust the turntable's rotation speed based on inspection needs to meet the requirements of different inspection tasks.

[0046] In this embodiment, stepper motor 105 precisely controls the rotational speed of transparent turntable 101, allowing the material to pass through the camera 201's capture area at a constant speed, ensuring clear imaging and, consequently, the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Furthermore, the use of stepper motor 105 allows the rotational speed of transparent turntable 101 to be adjusted according to test requirements, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the camera 201 above the transparent turntable 101 is the first camera 201, the camera 201 below the transparent turntable 101 is the second camera 201, and the first camera 201 and the second camera 201 are staggered.

[0048] In the analyzer, the first camera 201 above the transparent turntable 101 and the second camera 201 below the transparent turntable 101 together constitute a comprehensive detection system. When the transparent turntable 101 rotates under the drive of the stepper motor 105, the first camera 201 above begins to capture the surface features of the material on the turntable, such as color, shape, etc. At the same time, the second camera 201 below captures the bottom features of the material through the transparent turntable 101. Since the two cameras 201 are staggered, mutual interference between the images taken by the two cameras 201 is avoided. During the entire detection process, the two cameras 201 continue to work and transmit data in real time to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the detection.

[0049] In this embodiment, by staggering the first and second cameras 201, interference and overlap between the two cameras 201 are reduced, allowing each camera 201 to independently and clearly capture image information for its respective area. This not only improves image quality but also reduces data processing complexity. Furthermore, the first and second cameras 201 can each capture the top and bottom features of the material, capturing more detailed information. This allows for a more comprehensive assessment of material quality and improves detection accuracy and reliability.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a box body 5 is provided on the outside of the conveying mechanism 1 and the detection mechanism 2, and a mounting frame 501 for mounting the conveying mechanism 1 and the detection mechanism 2 is also provided inside the box body 5. A first opening 502 for feeding and a second opening 503 for discharging are provided on the box body 5.

[0051] An inspection door 504 is provided on one side of the box body 5 . The inspection door 504 includes two opposing door leaves, which are hinged to the box body 5 .

[0052] First, the material enters the first hopper 301 through the first opening 502 in the housing 5 and is then conveyed to the detection mechanism 2. As the material passes through the detection mechanism 2, the upper first camera 201 and the lower second camera 201 perform a comprehensive inspection of the material. After inspection, the material is discharged through the second opening 503. When equipment inspection or maintenance is required, personnel can open the door to inspect, repair, or replace the conveying mechanism 1 and detection mechanism 2 inside the housing 5.

[0053] In this embodiment, the housing 5 provides a stable operating environment for the conveying mechanism 1 and the detection mechanism 2, preventing external interference with the equipment's operation and thereby improving detection accuracy and stability. Furthermore, the use of the mounting bracket 501 ensures a more stable and reliable installation of the conveying mechanism 1 and the detection mechanism 2, reducing equipment failures due to vibration and other factors. Furthermore, the provision of the inspection door 504 facilitates maintenance and inspection of the equipment, improving its maintainability.

[0054] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
