Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pepper color sorting, in particular to an intelligent pepper color sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] Chili color sorters are automated equipment used in the chili processing industry. They are primarily used to sort and screen chili peppers based on color, shape, and quality. These machines typically utilize image processing technology and intelligent algorithms to perform real-time inspection and analysis of chili peppers, automatically rejecting unqualified peppers and improving product uniformity and quality.

[0003] In the prior art, color sorting of peppers is prone to errors, which increases the error rate during sorting and is not conducive to controller control.

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, a Chinese patent of the prior art (publication number CN219683311U) discloses a pepper color sorting machine, which includes a color sorting box for color sorting peppers, a conveying mechanism arranged on the color sorting box to convey the peppers to the color sorting box, a feeding mechanism arranged on the conveying mechanism to feed the peppers, a scraping mechanism arranged on top of the conveying mechanism to spread the peppers evenly, a driving mechanism arranged on both sides of the scraping mechanism to drive the scraping mechanism to move, and the driving mechanism includes a support assembly, one side of which is provided with a connecting assembly. The scraping plate scrapes apart the peppers stacked together on the conveyor belt, thereby reducing the overlapping rate of the peppers falling into the color sorting box, making the peppers more dispersed when entering the color sorting box, facilitating identification by the controller, and making the peppers sorted more cleanly while reducing the error rate during sorting.

[0005] Although the existing technology can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, there are still other problems in its operation process. For example, when color sorting is performed, when peppers are fed in, the shape of the peppers may easily cause the feed port to be blocked, which is not conducive to the continuous operation of the device and easily leads to low efficiency of pepper color sorting. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intelligent pepper color sorter to solve the problem proposed in the above background technology that when color sorting is performed, when peppers are fed in, the feed port is easily blocked due to the shape of the peppers, which is not conducive to the continuous operation of the device and easily leads to low efficiency of pepper color sorting.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent pepper color sorter, comprising a shell plate and a finished product trough provided at the upper end of the shell plate, a defective product trough provided on the left side of the finished product trough, and a lower end of the defective product trough fixedly mounted on the upper end of the shell plate, a fixed platform fixedly mounted on the upper end of the shell plate, a vibrating feeding bin provided on the upper end of the fixed platform, and a lower hopper fixedly mounted on the upper right end of the shell plate;

[0008] The lower end of the fixed platform is provided with a collecting box, and the upper end of the collecting box is provided with an impurity collecting mechanism, and the impurity collecting mechanism is provided with a leakage hole, and the leakage hole is opened at the bottom collecting box of the vibrating feeding bin;

[0009] A reciprocating threaded rod is rotatably mounted on the upper right end of the shell plate, and a knocking anti-blocking mechanism is provided on the left side of the reciprocating threaded rod. The knocking anti-blocking mechanism is provided with a movable plate, and the middle end of the movable plate is threadedly connected to the reciprocating threaded rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a slide is fixedly installed on the central upper end of the shell plate, and the slide is inclined, and the right upper end of the slide is located at the left opening of the vibration feeding bin, and the left lower end of the slide is set above the finished product trough.

[0011] Furthermore, a sensor is provided at the rear end of the shell plate, and the sensor is aligned with the lower end of the slide, and light sources are fixedly installed around the sensor, a signal processor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the shell plate, and the signal processor is connected to the sensor through a signal, and a compressed air spray valve is provided at the upper end of the shell plate, and the right side of the compressed air spray valve is connected to the signal processor through a cable, and the left output end of the compressed air spray valve is located below the sensor.

[0012] Furthermore, a vibration spring is provided between the vibration feeding bin and the fixed platform, and a drive motor is fixedly installed on the right side of the shell plate, and the output end of the drive motor passes through the shell plate, and a cam is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor, and the upper end of the cam is located at the lower end of the right side of the vibration feeding bin.

[0013] Furthermore, a card block is fixedly installed on the upper end of the collection box, and a card slot is provided at the lower end of the fixed platform. The card block and the card slot are both T-shaped, and the card block is engaged inside the card slot. A square hole is provided in the center of the fixed platform.

[0014] Furthermore, a belt is nested on the right side of the reciprocating threaded rod, and the lower end of the belt is nested on the output end of the drive motor, and a limiting rod is installed through the lower end of the movable plate, and the right side of the limiting rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. It is equipped with a component that can intelligently perform color sorting of peppers. When in use, the peppers to be color sorted are placed in the lower hopper. The peppers entering the lower hopper fall into the vibrating feed bin under the influence of gravity. This allows the peppers to be evenly fed into the color sorting process, preventing the accumulation of peppers that may lead to incomplete color sorting, and improving the color sorting effect of the device.

[0018] Furthermore, the peppers that fall into the chute follow the chute's slope downward into the finished product tank. At this time, the peppers are supplemented with light through a light source to improve accuracy. The signal processor controls the compressed air spray valve to blow the defective peppers that do not meet the corresponding position into the defective tank for collection. In this way, unqualified peppers can be intelligently sorted, and the color-sorted peppers are highly accurate and easy to use.

[0019] Furthermore, when the peppers are evenly fed, when they fall into the vibrating feeding bin, the vibration of the vibrating feeding bin allows the impurities inside the peppers to fall through the leak holes, achieving the effect of filtering out impurities, avoiding excessive impurities during pepper testing leading to inaccurate testing results, and further improving the accuracy of pepper color sorting;

[0020] 2. During color sorting, as the drive motor starts, the output end of the drive motor drives the reciprocating threaded rod to rotate through the belt. The rotation of the reciprocating threaded rod can further improve the knocking effect of the knocking block through the reset spring setting between the knocking block and the movable plate, thereby avoiding the blockage of the lower hopper and preventing blockage by knocking.

[0028] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figures 1-4 The technical solution shown, in order to solve the problem of unstable color sorting of peppers, discloses: a shell plate 1 and a finished product trough 2 provided on the upper end of the shell plate 1, and a defective product trough 3 is provided on the left side of the finished product trough 2, and the lower end of the defective product trough 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the shell plate 1, a fixed platform 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the shell plate 1, and a vibrating feeding bin 6 is provided on the upper end of the fixed platform 4, and a lower hopper 7 is fixedly installed on the right upper end of the shell plate 1, a chute 10 is fixedly installed on the central upper end of the shell plate 1, and the chute 10 is inclined, and the right upper end of the chute 10 is located at the left opening of the vibrating feeding bin 6, and the left lower end of the chute 10 is provided above the finished product trough 2, and a sensor 11 is provided at the rear end of the shell plate 1, and the sensor 11 is aligned with The lower end of the chute 10 is fixedly provided with a light source 12 around the sensor 11, the upper end of the shell plate 1 is fixedly provided with a signal processor 13, and the signal processor 13 is connected to the sensor 11 through a signal, and a compressed air spray valve 14 is provided at the upper end of the shell plate 1, and the right side of the compressed air spray valve 14 is connected to the signal processor 13 through a cable, and the left output end of the compressed air spray valve 14 is located below the sensor 11, a vibration spring 5 is provided between the vibration feeding bin 6 and the fixed platform 4, and a drive motor 8 is fixedly provided on the right side of the shell plate 1, and the output end of the drive motor 8 is provided through the shell plate 1, and a cam 9 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 8, and the upper end of the cam 9 is located at the lower right end of the vibration feeding bin 6;

[0031] In the embodiment, a component capable of intelligently color sorting peppers is provided. When in use, the peppers to be color sorted are placed inside the lower hopper 7. The peppers entering the lower hopper 7 fall into the vibrating feeding bin 6 under the influence of gravity. At this time, the driving motor 8 is started. The start of the driving motor 8 pushes the right side of the vibrating feeding bin 6 through the setting of the cam 9, so that the vibrating feeding bin 6 vibrates under the action of the vibrating spring 5 at the upper end of the fixed platform 4, so that the peppers fall into the chute 10 along the left opening of the vibrating feeding bin 6, so that the peppers can be evenly fed into the color sorting, and the accumulation of peppers can be prevented. The color sorting is not comprehensive, and the color sorting effect of the device is improved. At the same time, the peppers falling into the chute 10 follow the inclination of the chute 10 downward into the finished product tank 2. At this time, the peppers are supplemented with light by the light source 12 to improve the accuracy. The sensor 11 senses the defective or color-difference peppers. At this time, the sensor 11 transmits the signal to the signal processor 13. The signal processor 13 controls the compressed air spray valve 14 to blow the defective peppers in the corresponding position into the defective tank 3 for collection. In this way, the unqualified peppers can be intelligently color-sorted, and the color-sorted peppers are highly accurate and easy to use.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] like Figures 1-4 The technical solution shown is based on the first embodiment. In order to solve the problem that excessive impurities easily lead to inaccurate color sorting of peppers, the following is disclosed: a collecting box 16 is provided at the lower end of the fixed platform 4, and an impurity collecting mechanism is provided at the upper end of the collecting box 16. The impurity collecting mechanism is provided with a leak hole 15, and the leak hole 15 is opened at the bottom of the vibrating feeding bin 6. The upper end of the collecting box 16 is fixedly installed with a clamping block 17, and the lower end of the fixed platform 4 is provided with a clamping slot 18. The shape of the clamping block 17 and the clamping slot 18 are both "T"-shaped, and the clamping block 17 is clamped inside the clamping slot 18. A square hole is opened in the center of the fixed platform 4.

[0034] In the embodiment, when uniform feeding is performed, when the peppers fall into the vibrating feeding bin 6, the vibration of the vibrating feeding bin 6 allows the impurities inside the peppers to fall along the leakage hole 15 and fall into the collecting box 16 along the square hole opened in the center of the fixed platform 4 for collection. At this time, the card block 17 and the collecting box 16 can be taken out along the card slot 18, thereby achieving the effect of filtering impurities, avoiding excessive impurities in the peppers during detection, resulting in inaccurate detection results, and further improving the accuracy of pepper color sorting;

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] like Figures 1-6The technical solution shown, in order to solve the problem that blockage is easy to occur when peppers are put into the shell, discloses: a reciprocating threaded rod 20 is rotatably installed on the upper right end of the shell plate 1, and a knocking anti-blocking mechanism is provided on the left side of the reciprocating threaded rod 20, and the knocking anti-blocking mechanism is provided with a movable plate 21, and the middle end of the movable plate 21 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating threaded rod 20, and a belt 19 is nested on the right side of the reciprocating threaded rod 20, and the lower end of the belt 19 is nested on the output end of the driving motor 8, and a limiting rod is installed through the lower end of the movable plate 21, and the right side of the limiting rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell plate 1, a knocking block 22 is installed through the upper end of the movable plate 21, and the left side of the knocking block 22 is conical in shape, and a return spring 23 is sleeved between the knocking block 22 and the movable plate 21, and the left side of the knocking block 22 is arranged corresponding to the lower end outlet of the lower hopper 7;

[0037] In the embodiment, when color sorting is performed, as the drive motor 8 is started, the output end of the drive motor 8 drives the reciprocating threaded rod 20 to rotate through the belt 19. The rotation of the reciprocating threaded rod 20 drives the movable plate 21 threadedly connected to its surface to move. The movable plate 21 moves back and forth along the thread on the surface of the reciprocating threaded rod 20 under the limit of the limit rod, thereby driving the knocking block 22 at the upper end of the movable plate 21 to move back and forth to knock on the lower hopper 7. At this time, the reset spring 23 is set between the knocking block 22 and the movable plate 21, which can further improve the knocking effect of the knocking block 22, thereby preventing the lower hopper 7 from being blocked and knocking to prevent blockage.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
