[0027] The testing mechanism 4 includes a testing box 401, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the housing box 1. A baffle 402 is hinged to the right side of the testing box 401, and an electric push rod 403 is hinged to the left side of the baffle 402. An infrared generator 404 is installed inside the testing box 401, and a buzzer 405 is installed on the top of the testing box 401. A reagent box 406 is installed at the bottom of the conveyor 2, and a first motor 407 is installed outside the cleaning box 3. A stirring shaft 408 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 407.
[0028] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the container 1, a feed hopper 5 is installed on the top, and two guide plates 6 are installed inside the container 1. The bottom guide plate 6 extends to the outside of the container 1.
[0029] Specifically, the fruit is fed into the conveyor 2 via the guide plate 6 through the feed hopper 5, and then temporarily stored in the detection box 401.
[0030] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle, protective plates are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the conveyor 2, a light collector is fixedly installed on the inner left wall of the detection box 401, and an extension rod is installed on the inner top wall of the detection box 401.
[0031] Specifically, when the fruit passes through the detection box 401, infrared light is emitted by the infrared transmitter 404 to irradiate the fruit. The light is focused by the light collector and detected according to different wavelengths. When there is rot or damage, the controller will activate the buzzer 405 to sound an alarm.
[0032] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the middle, the side of the electric push rod 403 away from the baffle 402 is hinged to the extension rod, and the cleaning box 3 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 7.
[0033] exist Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the cleaning mechanism 7, a water tank 701 is installed on the top of the cleaning tank 3, a nozzle 702 is installed inside the cleaning tank 3, a second motor 703 is installed on the rear side of the cleaning tank 3, a cleaning roller 704 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 703, an arc plate 705 is installed inside the cleaning tank 3, and a partition 706 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the arc plate 705.
[0034] Specifically, the various structures of the cleaning mechanism 7 work together to clean the fruit, making it easier to process the juice. At the same time, it works in conjunction with the testing mechanism 4 to facilitate the detection of pesticide residues in the water.
[0035] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the middle, a cleaning brush 8 is installed on the inner top wall of the arc plate 705, and a water guide pipe extending into the cleaning tank 3 is fixedly installed on the right side of the medicine tank 406.
[0036] exist Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the middle, a water collection box is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the cleaning tank 3. The bottom of the water collection box is connected to the nozzle 702. A water supply pipe is connected to the bottom of the water tank 701. The water supply pipe is connected to the water collection box. A discharge port is opened on the right side of the cleaning tank 3. An extension plate 9 is installed on the right side of the cleaning tank 3. An electric telescopic rod 10 is fixedly installed on the right side of the cleaning tank 3. The electric telescopic rod 10 is connected to the right side of the extension plate 9.
[0037] During implementation, the following steps are followed: First, the fruit enters the receiving box 1 through the feeding hopper 5, then passes through the guide plate 6 to the detection box 401 of the conveyor 2. At this time, the controller drives the infrared generator 404 to start, detecting the degree of rot of the fruit by the different wavelengths irradiated onto it. When a bad fruit is detected, the controller drives the buzzer 405 to sound an alarm. The controller then drives the electric push rod 403 to open the baffle 402, allowing the user to remove the bad fruit. Good fruit is then guided into the cleaning box 3 by the conveyor 2. After cleaning, the electric telescopic rod 9 drives the extension plate 10 to open, allowing the fruit to be removed. At this time, the reagents in the reagent box 406 enter the cleaning box. The controller drives the first motor 407 to rotate the stirring shaft 408, mixing it with the wastewater. Pesticide residues are detected by color changes. Finally, the wastewater is discharged through the drain pipe at the bottom.
[0038] In summary, by setting up the detection box 401, the fruit is fed into the conveyor 2 via the guide plate 6 from the feed hopper 5 and temporarily stored in the detection box 401. By setting up the baffle 402, the controller drives the electric push rod 403 to start, which in turn drives the baffle 402 to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the fruit. By setting up the infrared emitter 404, when the fruit passes through the detection box 401, the infrared emitter 404 emits infrared light to irradiate the fruit, which is then focused by the light collector. The fruit is detected according to different wavelengths, and if there is rot or breakage, it is detected. When the fruit is damaged, the controller will activate the alarm buzzer 405. At this time, the baffle 402 can be opened to remove the rotten fruit. A reagent tank 406, containing enzyme reagents, is set up. After the fruit is washed, the reagents collect at the bottom of the washing tank 3 via the partition 706. The controller then drives the first motor 407 to rotate the stirring shaft 408. The pesticide residue is determined by detecting the inhibitory reaction of pesticides on acetylcholinesterase in the washing water. A color change is observed; if the color change is not obvious, it indicates the presence of pesticide residue. A spray nozzle 702 activates the booster pump, spraying water from the water tank 701. The fruit entering the washing tank 3 falls into the curved plate 705. The second motor 703 drives the cleaning roller 4 to rotate, working in conjunction with the cleaning brush 8 to wash and remove dirt from the fruit's surface.
