AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the selection of defective frozen dumplings mainly relies on manual labor, which results in a high rate of missed detections and a high rate of defective products. Furthermore, visual recognition technology has not been effectively integrated with rejection mechanisms, leading to increased costs.
The system combines a visual recognition system with a spray gun. The visual recognition system detects defective dumplings, while the spray gun is connected to an air pump. When the air pump is powered on, it sprays gas to blow away the defective dumplings, thus achieving automated rejection.
It has achieved efficient and automated removal of defective dumplings, reduced the missed detection rate of manual operation, and improved production efficiency and product quality.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a food defect sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the frozen food industry, frozen dumplings account for half of the market. After the advent of high-speed dumpling machines, the output of a single dumpling machine has soared to 1,000 dumplings per minute, with a single machine producing 1 ton per minute. This has made the selection of defective frozen dumplings a persistent industry challenge.
[0003] Currently, defective product selection relies on manual methods, resulting in a high rate of missed inspections and consequently a high defect rate, impacting product quality. While advancements in vision technology enable high-volume identification, a suitable rejection mechanism has yet to emerge. Furthermore, the excessive use of numerous robots would lead to unnecessarily high costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To improve the efficiency of removing defective dumplings, this application provides a food defective sorting device.
[0005] This application provides a food defective product sorting device, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a conveyor for transporting dumplings. The conveyor includes a frame, a belt is installed on the frame, and one or two rows of dumplings are evenly spaced along the length of the belt. A vision recognition system is installed at one end of the frame. There are also two spray guns installed on the frame, which are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the frame. The spray guns are connected to an air pump. The air pump is electrically connected to a power source through the vision recognition system. The structure is such that when the vision recognition system detects defective dumplings, the air pump is powered on, and gas is sprayed from the spray guns to blow away the defective dumplings.
[0006] Optionally, a conveyor belt for receiving defective dumplings is provided on one side of the frame.
[0007] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0008] 1. The process of removing defective dumplings is transferred to a dumpling forming machine. The dumplings produced by the forming machine are arranged in two evenly distributed rows. The processed dumplings are compared with the dumpling patterns in the system using a vision recognition system. Those that do not meet the set requirements are blown away by a spray gun. The spray gun is connected to an air pump, which is electrically connected to the power supply through the vision recognition system to ensure the efficient removal of defective dumplings.

[0010] Attached reference numerals: 1. Frame, 2. Belt, 3. Vision recognition system, 4. Spray gun. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 This application will be described in further detail.
[0012] This application discloses a food defective product sorting device. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a conveyor for transporting dumplings. The conveyor includes a frame 1, on which a belt 2 is rotatably connected. One or two rows of dumplings are evenly spaced along the length of the belt 2. A vision recognition system 3 is installed at one end of the frame 1. Two spray guns 4 are also installed on the frame 1, symmetrically arranged about the center line of the frame 1. The spray guns 4 are angled with their nozzles facing the bottom of the dumplings. The spray guns 4 are connected to an air pump, which is electrically connected to a power source through the vision recognition system 3. When the vision recognition system 3 detects a defective dumpling, the air pump is powered on, and the spray guns 4 spray gas to blow the defective dumpling away. A conveyor belt is provided on one side of the frame 1 to receive defective dumplings, which are then transferred to subsequent processing steps.
[0013] The implementation principle of a food defective sorting device in this application embodiment is as follows: after being processed by the forming machine, dumplings are evenly arranged on the belt 2. After passing through the visual recognition system 3, the visual recognition system 3 collects pictures of dumplings and compares them with the dumpling graphics in the system. For dumplings that do not meet the set requirements, the visual recognition system 3 connects the power supply and the air pump, and the spray gun 4 generates gas to blow away the defective dumplings.
[0014] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
