[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides: a high-efficiency flower selection device, including two protective plates 13, two first drainage plates 11, two first collection boxes 12, a second collection box 14, and two robotic arms 17. A shaft 4 is rotatably arranged on both sides between the two protective plates 13. A conveyor belt 16 is sleeved between the outer end faces of the two shafts 4. An observation mechanism 1 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the upper end face between the two protective plates 13. A water tank 2 is fixedly arranged on one side of the upper end face between the two protective plates 13. A spray pipe 9 is fixedly arranged on the lower end face of the water tank 2. A recycling box 8 is fixedly arranged on one side of the lower end face between the two protective plates 13. A water pump 7 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the front end face of the recycling box 8.

[0024] A transmission motor 6 is fixedly installed on one front end face of the two guard plates 13 near the water pump 7. The output end of the transmission motor 6 is fixedly installed on one front end face of the two shafts 4. Support plates 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end face of the two guard plates 13. The water pump 7 is fixedly connected to the water tank 2 through the connecting pipe 18. Two first drain plates 11 are respectively installed between the two first collection boxes 12 and the two guard plates. Multiple drain holes 3 are opened on the outer end face of the conveyor belt 16. Support blocks 10 are fixedly installed on the other side of the middle of the opposite end face of the two guard plates 13. Two robotic arms 17 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper end face of the two support blocks 10. The second collection box 14 is located below the side of the conveyor belt 16 away from the water tank 2. A second drain plate 15 is slidably installed in the middle of the inner wall of the second collection box 14.

[0025] Specifically, during flower selection, the conveyor motor 6 is activated, and the flowers are moved to one side by the conveyor belt 16. Upon reaching the water tank 2, the flowers are washed and moistened by water sprayed downwards from the spray pipe 9, maintaining their freshness. A recycling bin 8 is located below the water tank 2; the water used to wash the flowers falls into the recycling bin 8. A pump then transfers water from the connecting pipe 18 back into the water tank 2. A filter screen is installed at the water inlet of the recycling bin 8 to ensure the water is free of impurities and can be recycled, reducing water waste. The flowers continue to be transported to... Below the observation unit 1, the flowers are monitored by the observation unit 1 to distinguish their quality. Flowers of good quality are picked up by the robotic arm 17 and placed on the first drain plate 11. The flowers slide down the first drain plate 11 and fall into the first collection box 12. When the flowers slide on the first drain plate 11, the water above them can be filtered out. Then, the flowers of poor quality are conveyed backward by the conveyor belt 16 and fall into the second collection box 14. The second collection box 14 is equipped with a second drain plate 15. The second drain plate 15 can separate the flowers from the water and prevent the flowers from being soaked in water.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 The observation mechanism 1 includes a support frame 101 and two observation sensors 103. The upper surfaces of the two observation sensors 103 are fixedly provided with mounting blocks 104. The inner top surface of the support frame 101 has two mounting grooves 102, and the two mounting blocks 104 are slidably disposed on the inner walls of the two mounting grooves 102 respectively.

[0027] Specifically, the observation sensor 103 of the observation mechanism 1 is equipped with a mounting block 104. By sliding the mounting block 104 into the mounting groove 102 on the top surface of the support frame 101, the observation sensor 103 is fixed, making it easier to install. A camera is installed inside the observation sensor 103. During observation, the camera is mainly used to take pictures of the flowers to determine their quality.

[0028] Working principle: When selecting flowers, the conveyor motor 6 is started, and the flowers are driven to one side by the conveyor belt 16. When the flowers reach the bottom of the water tank 2, they are washed and moistened by the water sprayed downward by the spray pipe 9 to keep the flowers fresh. A recycling box 8 is set below the water tank 2. The water used to wash the flowers will fall into the recycling box 8. Then, the pump transfers water from the connecting pipe 18 to the water tank 2. Then, the flowers reach the bottom of the observation mechanism 1. The observation mechanism 1 monitors the flowers to distinguish their quality. Flowers with good quality are picked up by the robotic arm 17 and placed on the first drain plate 11. The flowers slide down the first drain plate 11 and fall into the first collection box 12. Then, flowers with poor quality are driven backward by the conveyor belt 16 and fall into the second collection box 14.

[0029] Secondly, the observation sensor 103 of the observation mechanism 1 is provided with a mounting block 104. By sliding the mounting block 104 into the mounting groove 102 on the inner top surface of the support frame 101, the observation sensor 103 is fixed.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
