[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dried chili pepper testing instruments, and in particular to an automatic testing instrument for the color and quality of dried chili peppers. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the food industry, dried chili peppers, as an important condiment and ingredient, have their quality and color being crucial for food processing companies and consumers. To ensure the quality of dried chili peppers, accurate testing of their color and quality is necessary.

[0003] In the detection of color and quality of dried chili peppers, manual inspection or traditional testing equipment is mainly relied upon. Manual inspection suffers from low efficiency, strong subjectivity, and large errors. While traditional testing equipment improves efficiency to some extent, it also has shortcomings. It is difficult to ensure uniform distribution of dried chili peppers, affecting the accuracy of subsequent quality analysis. Furthermore, existing equipment is often complex in structure, leading to low maintenance and repair efficiency and increasing time and labor costs. Therefore, to address these technical problems, this application proposes an automatic instrument for detecting the color and quality of dried chili peppers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic color and quality detector for dried chili peppers. Through a motor driving components such as a double semi-circular top block, the dried chili peppers are evenly spread within a storage tray, facilitating accurate analysis of their color and quality by the imaging device and improving detection precision. Simultaneously, the simple structural design facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the imaging device, improving maintenance and repair efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic detector for the color and quality of dried chili peppers includes a support frame. Two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the support frame. A slider is slidably connected to the rear end of the two sliding rods. A storage tray is fixedly connected to the top side of the slider for storing dried chili peppers. Springs are sleeved on the outer walls of the sliding rods. A drive assembly is provided on the rear side of the support frame for controlling the sliding of the slider. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the support frame. A shooting device is connected to the bottom side of the mounting base through a plug-in assembly for photographing the color and quality of the dried chili peppers.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a double semi-arc top block rotatably connected to the rear side of the support frame, and a motor is mounted on the bottom side of the support frame via a fixing bracket, with the drive end of the motor fixedly connected to the bottom side of the motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the plug-in assembly includes a plug-in groove located on the bottom side of the mounting base and a plug-in block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shooting device, the plug-in block being disposed on the inner wall of the plug-in groove.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the spring is connected to the outer wall of the support frame, and the other end of the spring is connected to the outer wall of the slider.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the mounting base is connected to two retaining plates by torsion springs, and the retaining plates are disposed on the outer wall of the plug-in block.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the mounting base is provided with multiple screw holes for mounting the mounting base and the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the slider is provided with a buffer pad.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In this invention, a motor drives the double semi-arc top block to rotate. Through its cooperation with components such as the slider, slide rod, and spring, the slider reciprocates on the outer wall of the slide rod, thereby shaking and spreading the dried chilies accumulated in the storage tray. This operation helps ensure that the dried chilies are evenly distributed in the storage tray, facilitating accurate analysis of their color and quality using imaging equipment, and improving the accuracy of dried chili quality testing.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, when the shooting equipment needs maintenance, simply move the card plate to disengage the plug block and the plug slot, and the shooting equipment can be easily removed from the mounting base.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic detector for the color and quality of dried chili peppers, comprising a support frame 1, two sliding rods 4 fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the support frame 1, a slider 6 slidably connected to the rear end of the two sliding rods 4, a storage tray 7 fixedly connected to the top side of the slider 6 for storing dried chili peppers, a spring 5 sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rods 4, one end of the spring 5 connected to the outer wall of the support frame 1, the other end of the spring 5 connected to the outer wall of the slider 6, a double semi-arc top block 3 rotatably connected to the rear side of the support frame 1, a motor 2 mounted on the bottom side of the support frame 1 via a fixed frame, the drive end of the motor 2 fixedly connected to the bottom side of the motor 2 for controlling the sliding of the slider 6, a mounting base 8 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the support frame 1, an insertion groove 10 located on the bottom side of the mounting base 8, and an insertion block 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shooting device 9, the insertion block 11 being disposed on the inner wall of the insertion groove 10 for shooting the color and quality of dried chili peppers;

[0023] Specifically, first, the dried chili peppers are poured into the storage tray 7. Next, motor 2 is started, causing the double semi-circular top block 3 to rotate. During rotation, due to the arc shape of the double semi-circular top block 3, it presses against the slider 6, causing it to slide on the outer wall of the slide rod 4. At this time, the sliding slider 6, together with the support frame 1, compresses the spring 5 on the outer wall of the slide rod 4. When the double semi-circular top block 3 rotates to a certain angle and its arc-shaped part no longer contacts the slider 6, the compressed spring 5 will reset, lifting the slider 6 and causing it to slide again on the outer wall of the slide rod 4. Through the continuous rotation of the double semi-circular top block 3 and the compression and reset action of the spring 5, the slider 6 is controlled to reciprocate on the outer wall of the slide rod 4, thereby shaking the dried chili peppers accumulated inside the storage tray 7, spreading them evenly inside the storage tray 7, and preventing the dried chili peppers from accumulating inside the storage tray 7 and causing insufficient coverage in subsequent shooting. Then, motor 2 is turned off, keeping the storage tray 7 stationary. Next, the photographing device 9 is used to photograph the dried chilies inside the storage tray 7, and the color and quality of the dried chilies are analyzed based on the photographs. When the photographing device 9 requires maintenance, the latch 12 can be moved to disengage the photographing device 9 from the mounting base 8 via the connector 11 and connector slot 10, thus allowing the photographing device 9 to be removed for maintenance. This design achieves disassembly and maintenance of the photographing device 9 through a simple structure and operation, avoiding the impact on maintenance and repair efficiency caused by an overly complex installation structure of the photographing device 9.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 The outer wall of the mounting base 8 is connected by two clamping plates 12 via torsion springs. The clamping plates 12 are set on the outer wall of the plug block 11. The outer wall of the mounting base 8 is provided with multiple screw holes for installation between the mounting base 8 and the support frame 1. The outer wall of the slider 6 is provided with a buffer pad.

[0025] Specifically, the card plate 12 can prevent the plug block 11 from sliding inside the plug slot 10. The buffer pad on the outer wall of the slider 6 can cause a violent collision when the slider 6 and the double semi-circular top block 3 come into contact, which will damage the double semi-circular top block 3.

[0026] Working principle: Dried chili peppers are poured into the storage tray 7. The motor 2 then rotates the double semi-circular top block 3, whose arc shape presses against the slider 6, causing it to slide against the outer wall of the slide rod 4. The sliding slider 6, in conjunction with the support frame 1, compresses the spring 5 on the outer wall of the slide rod 4. When part of the arc of the double semi-circular top block 3 rotates to a certain angle, and the arc of the double semi-circular top block 3 no longer contacts the slider 6, the compressed spring 5 resets, lifting the slider 6 and causing it to slide against the outer wall of the slide rod 4. This controls the slider 6's movement within the slide rod 4. The reciprocating motion of the outer wall can shake the dried chilies piled inside the storage tray 7, spreading them evenly inside the storage tray 7. Then, the motor 2 is turned off to keep the storage tray 7 stationary. The shooting device 9 then takes pictures of the dried chilies inside the storage tray 7, and analyzes the color and quality of the dried chilies based on the pictures. When the shooting device 9 needs maintenance, the card plate 12 can be moved to disengage the shooting device 9 from the mounting base 8 through the separation between the plug block 11 and the plug slot 10 for maintenance.

[0027] 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.
