Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of edible fungi detection equipment, and in particular relates to an edible fungi metal detector. Background Technology
[0002] Edible fungi refer to large, edible mushrooms (macrofungi), commonly known as mushrooms. China has nearly 950 known species of edible fungi, most of which belong to the Basidiomycota subphylum, and a few to the Ascomycota subphylum. These edible fungi grow in different regions and ecological environments, possessing rich nutritional value and unique flavors. During the processing and packaging of edible fungi, metal detectors are used to detect any metal impurities mixed in with the fungi and prevent them from entering the packaging.
[0003] However, existing metal detectors for edible fungi often lack the function of sorting edible fungi. Therefore, when the detector detects metal impurities in the edible fungi, workers often need to sort them manually. In addition, existing metal detectors for edible fungi often lack the function of continuous feeding, so workers need to continuously place edible fungi on the conveyor belt, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a metal detector for edible fungi, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art that existing metal detectors for edible fungi do not have the function of sorting edible fungi or the function of continuous feeding.
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model is implemented as follows: an edible fungus metal detector, comprising: a base plate with a conveyor belt and an L-shaped frame at the top; multiple frame-type metal detectors fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the L-shaped frame, the multiple frame-type metal detectors being used to detect metal in the edible fungus conveyed on the conveyor belt; a sorting mechanism installed on the L-shaped frame, the sorting mechanism being used to sort edible fungus containing metal impurities; and a height adjustment mechanism, a weighing mechanism, and a continuous feeding mechanism disposed on the base plate, the height adjustment mechanism being used to adjust the distance between the continuous feeding mechanism and the conveyor belt, the weighing mechanism being used to weigh the remaining edible fungus in the continuous feeding mechanism in real time, and the continuous feeding mechanism being used to feed the edible fungus onto the conveyor belt.
[0006] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes: a rodless cylinder fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the L-shaped frame; and a push plate fixedly installed on the output block of the rodless cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, a collection box is provided on the base plate, a vertical plate is fixedly installed on the base plate, and two positioning plates are fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate.
[0008] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism includes: a screw rotatably mounted on the two positioning plates; a servo motor fixedly mounted on one side of the vertical plate and connected to the screw; a plurality of limiting rods fixedly mounted on the two positioning plates on opposite sides; a rectangular plate threaded onto the screw and slidably connected to the plurality of limiting rods; and a feeding port opened on the rectangular plate.
[0009] Preferably, the weighing mechanism includes: a plurality of sliding rods slidably mounted on the rectangular plate; a plurality of limiting blocks respectively fixedly mounted on the top ends of the plurality of sliding rods; a plurality of springs and a plurality of annular weighing sensors respectively slidably sleeved on the plurality of sliding rods.

[0011] Preferably, a green indicator light and a red indicator light are provided on one side of the vertical plate, and a controller and a buzzer alarm are provided on the L-shaped frame.
[0012] Compared with related technologies, the edible fungus metal detector provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] Compared to existing technologies, the edible fungus metal detector provided in this solution uses a base plate as the supporting foundation for the entire device. A conveyor belt mounted on the base plate continuously and smoothly transports the edible fungus to the detection area. The L-shaped frame design not only stably supports the multiple frame-type metal detectors above but also cleverly integrates a sorting mechanism, making the entire device compact and fully functional. Multiple frame-type metal detectors are fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the L-shaped frame, forming a multi-layered detection network. These detectors can sensitively detect whether the edible fungus passing on the conveyor belt contains metal impurities, ensuring strict control over food safety. When the metal detector detects edible fungus containing metal impurities, the sorting mechanism responds quickly, separating these substandard fungus from the conveyor belt and preventing any impact on subsequent processing. The sound ensures the overall quality of the product. The height adjustment mechanism is set on the base plate to precisely adjust the distance between the continuous feeding mechanism and the conveyor belt. This design allows the equipment to adapt to edible fungi of different sizes and shapes, as well as different production needs, improving the flexibility and applicability of the equipment. The weighing mechanism installed on the base plate can weigh the remaining edible fungi in the continuous feeding mechanism in real time. This function not only helps to accurately control the feeding amount and realize feeding on demand, but also issues an alarm in time when the material is insufficient, avoiding the risk of production interruption. The continuous feeding mechanism is responsible for automatically and continuously feeding the edible fungi onto the conveyor belt, realizing the automation and efficiency of the production process. The coordinated work with the height adjustment mechanism and the weighing mechanism makes the entire feeding process stable and reliable, greatly improving production efficiency.
[0014] In summary, the edible fungus metal detector of the present invention, through its integrated design and high-precision detection, sorting, and feeding functions, effectively improves the production efficiency and product quality of the edible fungus processing industry, and safeguards food safety.
