[0002] Color sorting is a crucial step in ensuring product quality during the production of organic dried goji berries. Traditional manual sorting methods are not only inefficient, but also prone to inconsistent selection standards due to human factors such as fatigue and subjective judgment. This makes it difficult to effectively remove inferior goji berries, such as those that are moldy, unripe, infested with insects, or have abnormal colors, which seriously affects the overall quality and market value of organic dried goji berries.
[0003] However, existing color sorting devices used in the production of organic dried goji berries have the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. It has poor adaptability to individual differences in organic dried goji berries, resulting in frequent problems such as jamming, misjudgment, and missed selection, which affects the color sorting effect and product quality.
[0005] 2. The light source and imaging system are not compatible with the characteristics of organic goji berries, resulting in inaccurate image acquisition and low color sorting accuracy.
[0006] 3. The equipment has a complex structure, is difficult to clean and maintain, and is prone to leaving impurities and breeding bacteria. Utility Model Content

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] This utility model provides a color sorting device for the production of organic dried goji berries, which has the following features:
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. This color sorting device, applied to the production of organic dried goji berries, uses a combination of compressed air spray heads and soft brushes in its drive mechanism. During operation, it is periodically activated to clean key components such as the composite light source and high-definition camera. The compressed air spray heads blow away goji berry fragments and dust adhering to the surface of the components. The drive motor rotates the threaded rod, causing the threaded sleeve to move the soft brush. The soft brush gently wipes the lens and light source cover, ensuring that light transmission and image acquisition are not interfered with by impurities, thus maintaining the efficient operation of the equipment.
[0021] 2. This color sorting device, applied to the production of organic dried goji berries, uses a rotating mechanism to push a rotating plate to rotate on a rotating base when the angle of the composite light source needs to be adjusted. This causes a limit bolt to rotate on the rotating base to the appropriate position. Tightening the limit nut secures the limit nut against one side of the rotating base, allowing for convenient adjustment of the irradiation angles of multiple composite light sources to meet the color sorting needs of different varieties and qualities of organic dried goji berries.
[0022] 3. This color sorting device, applied to the production of organic dried goji berries, features a material leveling mechanism. During operation, a material leveling mechanism is set between the flexible feeding platform and the color sorting channel. The surface of the material leveling rollers is covered with a soft rubber layer. When the output motor is started, multiple rotatable material leveling rollers can further sort and uniformly convey the goji berries, while preventing the berries from being excessively squeezed and deformed. At the same time, the rotation speed of the material leveling rollers can be adjusted according to the feeding speed and the flow rate of the berries, ensuring that the goji berries enter the color sorting area at a stable and uniform speed.
