[0024] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5This utility model provides an intelligent fruit sorting machine, which includes: a screening plate 1, a plurality of guide columns 9 fixedly connected to the side wall of the screening plate 1, an abutment groove 8 inside each guide column 9, a rotation groove 11 and an installation groove 10 provided on the side wall of the abutment groove 8, a screening motor 14 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the installation groove 10, a first rotating column 12 fixedly connected to the output end of the screening motor 14, and the first rotating column 12 is located inside the rotation groove 11, and a deflection column 13 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first rotating column 12.

[0026] The dimensions of the deflector column 13 are adapted to the internal dimensions of the contact groove 8. The rotating groove 11 is located above the mounting groove 10. The interior of the contact groove 8 is connected to the interior of the mounting groove 10 and the rotating groove 11. The deflector columns 13 are arranged in an oblique array to facilitate timely change of direction of the screened fruit. The number of guide columns 9 corresponds to the number of contact grooves 8. After the screening motor 14 is started, it drives the first rotating column 12 to rotate in the rotating groove 11, thereby causing the deflector columns 13 to rotate in the contact groove 8. Through the contact action between the deflector column 13 and the inner wall of the contact groove 8, the angle of the guide column 9 can be changed to adapt to the screening path of different fruits. The end of the guide column 9 away from the screening plate 1 is fixedly connected to the transfer block 6. The transfer block 6 has several rolling grooves inside. 7. The interior of the rolling groove 7 is connected to the upper surface of the transfer block 6. The number of rolling grooves 7 is set in correspondence with the number of guide columns 9. When the angle of the guide column 9 changes, the position of the transfer block 6 is adjusted accordingly. The fruit can roll on the transfer block 6 through the rolling groove 7 to achieve smooth transfer of the fruit. The setting of the rolling groove 7 can reduce the friction between the fruit and the transfer block 6, making it easier for the fruit to move. The four corners of the lower surface of the screening plate 1 are fixedly connected with support legs 5 to stabilize and support the screening plate 1, so that the entire screening device can remain stable during operation and avoid affecting the screening accuracy due to shaking. The front and rear walls of the upper surface of the screening plate 1 are fixedly connected with baffles 2. There are two baffles 2. The upper surfaces of the two baffles 2 are fixedly connected with image recognition devices 3.

[0027] A controller 4 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the image recognition device 3. Baffles 2 prevent fruits from falling off the screening plate 1. The image recognition device 3 identifies the size, color, shape, and other characteristics of the fruits and transmits this information to the controller 4. The controller 4 controls the operation of components such as the screening motor 14 and the guide motor 17 according to a preset program to achieve intelligent fruit screening. The two baffles 2 have mating grooves 15 inside, and the interior of each groove 15 communicates with the front and rear sides of the baffle 2. Extension blocks 16 are provided on the side walls of the mating grooves 15, and the extension blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the baffles 2. A guide motor 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the extension block 16. A second rotating column 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the guide motor 17. Six flexible guide plates 19 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second rotating column 18. The size of the flexible guide plates 19 is adapted to the internal size of the matching groove 15. The guide motor 17 drives the second rotating column 18 to rotate, so that the flexible guide plates 19 rotate within the matching groove 15. According to the different screening results of the fruit, the movement direction of the fruit can be changed by the rotation of the flexible guide plates 19, guiding the fruit to the corresponding collection area. Moreover, the flexible guide plates 19 can avoid damaging the fruit.

[0028] Working Principle: First, ensure the sorting machine is in a stable state, with support leg 5 firmly supporting the screening plate 1. Connect the power supply and start the image recognition device 3 and controller 4 to prepare for subsequent sorting. Place the fruit to be sorted on the screening plate 1. Due to the obstruction of baffle 2, the fruit will not fall off the edge of the screening plate 1, ensuring that the fruit is within the sorting area. The image recognition device 3 scans the fruit on the screening plate 1, identifying the size, color, shape, and other features of the fruit, and quickly transmits this information to the controller 4. The controller 4 sends a command to the screening motor 14 based on the information transmitted by the image recognition device 3. The screening motor 14 starts, and its output drives the first rotating column 12 to rotate in the rotating groove 11. The deflecting column 13 on the first rotating column 12 rotates in the contact groove 8. Through the contact action between the deflecting column 13 and the inner wall of the contact groove 8, the angle of the guide column 9 is changed. The position of the transfer block 6 is adjusted to prepare for the transfer of the fruit. The fruit rolls along the screening plate 1 onto the transfer block 6 and is transferred smoothly through the rolling groove 7. The rolling groove 7 reduces the friction between the fruit and the transfer block 6, allowing the fruit to move smoothly. During the fruit transfer process, the controller 4 sends a command to the guide motor 17 according to the fruit screening results. The guide motor 17 drives the second rotating column 18 to rotate, causing the flexible guide plate 19 to rotate within the mating groove 15. The flexible guide plate 19 changes the direction of fruit movement as needed, guiding fruits with different characteristics to the corresponding collection areas. After the fruit is guided to the corresponding collection area, the sorting process is completed. The staff can clean the collection area regularly and perform subsequent processing on the sorted fruit. After the sorting work is completed, the image recognition device 3, controller 4, screening motor 14 and guide motor 17 are turned off in sequence, and finally the power is cut off.

[0029] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
