[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Identical parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, a visual inspection and defect removal device for rice crackers is characterized by: including a device base 1 and a vision support 2. The bottom of the vision support 2 is disposed inside the device base 1. A conveyor belt mounting frame 3 is disposed on the device base 1. A conveying mechanism is disposed on the conveyor belt mounting frame 3. A rejection mechanism is disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism. A set of automatic belt correction mechanisms for correcting the conveying mechanism is disposed on both sides of the conveying mechanism. A cleaning mechanism for cleaning debris is disposed on one side of the automatic belt correction mechanism. A front visual inspection mechanism for inspecting the front of the rice cracker is disposed at the top of the vision support 2. A back visual inspection mechanism for inspecting the back of the rice cracker is disposed at the bottom of the vision support 2. A set of belt quick-release mechanisms is disposed on both sides of the vision support 2.

[0033] The equipment base 1 provides corresponding support for the vision support 2. The suction roller 33 is a material collection device located to the left of the front vision inspection mechanism. The front vision inspection mechanism first inspects the snow cakes on the suction roller 33. This is a front inspection. After the inspection is completed, the defective snow cakes are recorded. The snow cakes fall from the suction roller 33, and the orientation of the snow cakes changes. Through the transport of the conveyor mechanism, the back of the snow cakes faces directly below the back vision inspection mechanism. The back vision inspection mechanism can inspect the other side of the snow cakes. After the inspection is completed, the rejection mechanism can reject the unqualified snow cakes on the front or back. The belt quick-release mechanism can quickly disassemble the belt for easy cleaning. The automatic correction mechanism can correct the deviation of the conveyor belt 4 to prevent deviation during operation, which would cause errors in the snow cake inspection. The cleaning mechanism can clean the debris left by the snow cakes on the conveyor belt 4, keeping the surface of the conveyor belt 4 clean and improving the accuracy of snow cake inspection.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt 4, a drive pulley 5, and a driven pulley 6. The conveyor belt 4 is mounted on the conveyor belt mounting frame 3. One end of the conveyor belt 4 is rotatably connected to the drive pulley 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the driven pulley 6. The drive pulley 5 is driven by a driving component. The driving component drives the drive pulley 5 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt 4 starts working and the snow cakes can be transported.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the rejection mechanism includes a rejection cylinder 7, a rejection connector 8, a rejection plate 9, and a rejection base 10. The bottom bolt of the rejection cylinder 7 is fixed to the rejection base 10, and its piston rod is fixed to the rejection connector 8. The rejection base 10 is bolted to one side of the equipment base 1. One end of the rejection plate 9 is rotatably connected to the rejection connector 8, and the other end is rotatably connected to the equipment base 1. The rejection plate 9 is inclined, with one end close to the conveyor belt 4.

[0036] The rejection base 10 provides corresponding support for the rejection cylinder 7. The rejection cylinder 7 transmits power to the rejection connector 8, which drives the rejection plate 9 to rotate, so that qualified snow cakes can pass through the rejection plate 9 to enter the next process, while unqualified snow cakes will be rejected.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a rejection cavity 11 is provided in the equipment base 1, and a rejection ramp 12 is provided in the rejection cavity 11. The rejection cavity 11 and the rejection ramp 12 cooperate with the rejection plate 9 to allow unqualified snow cakes to enter the rejection cavity 11. The rejection ramp 12 allows the snow cakes to enter the rejection cavity 11 quickly.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the automatic belt correction mechanism includes a correction base 13, a correction cylinder 14, a correction push plate 15, a correction wheel 16, and a photoelectric sensor 17. The bottom of the correction base 13 is bolted to the equipment base 1, the correction cylinder 14 is bolted to one side of the correction base 13, the correction push plate 15 is mounted on the piston rod of the correction cylinder 14, the correction wheel 16 is rotatably connected to the top of the correction push plate 15 and is located inside the conveyor belt 4, and the photoelectric sensor 17 is mounted on the conveyor belt mounting frame 3.

[0039] The photoelectric sensors 17 on both sides can detect whether the conveyor belt 4 is deviated to the left or right. When the conveyor belt 4 deviates to the left, it triggers the photoelectric sensor 17 on the left. The correction cylinder 14 on the left drives the correction wheel 16 to press down, and the conveyor belt 4 deviates back to the right. Similarly, when the conveyor belt 4 deviates to the right, the correction cylinder 14 on the right moves and drives the correction wheel 16 to press down, and the conveyor belt 4 deviates back to the left.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a scraper 18, a pressure spring 19, a pressure connecting belt 20, and a cleaning mounting plate 21. The top of the scraper 18 abuts against the conveyor belt 4, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the pressure connecting belt 20. There are two cleaning mounting plates 21, which are bolted to both sides of the equipment base 1. One end of the pressure spring is fixed to the cleaning mounting plate, and the other end is connected to the pressure connecting belt.

[0041] The pressure spring 19 generates a force that tightens the pressure connecting belt 20. The pressure connecting belt 20 can drive the scraper 18 to rotate, so that the scraper 18 can abut against the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor belt 4 is running, the debris on the surface is scraped off.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the frontal vision inspection mechanism includes an upper crossbeam 22, a frontal mounting plate 23, a frontal camera 24, and an upper light source 25. The two ends of the upper crossbeam 22 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vision support 2. There are several frontal mounting plates 23, which are bolted to the upper crossbeam 22. There are several frontal cameras 24, one of which is bolted to the frontal mounting plate 23. The upper light source 25 is located below the frontal camera 24, and its two sides are connected to the inner wall of the vision support 2. The upper light source 25 illuminates the snow cake on the suction roller 33, so that the frontal camera 24 can more clearly capture the details of the front of the snow cake. The frontal mounting plate 23 provides support for the installation of the frontal camera 24.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reverse visual inspection mechanism includes a lower crossbeam 26, a reverse mounting plate 27, a reverse camera 28, and a lower light source 29. The two ends of the lower crossbeam 26 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the visual support 2. There are several reverse mounting plates 27, which are bolted to the lower crossbeam 26. There are several reverse cameras 28, one of which is bolted to the reverse mounting plate 27. The lower light source 29 is located below the reverse camera 28, and its two sides are connected to the inner wall of the visual support 2. The lower light source 29 illuminates the snow cakes on the conveyor belt 4, so that the reverse camera 28 can more clearly capture the details of the reverse side of the snow cakes. The reverse mounting plate 27 provides support for the installation of the reverse camera 28.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the belt quick-release mechanism includes a drive cylinder 30, a quick-release mounting base 31, and a drive connector 32. The top bolt of the drive cylinder 30 is fixed to the quick-release mounting plate, and its piston rod bolt is fixed to the drive connector 32. The quick-release mounting base 31 is bolted to the lower crossbeam 26, and the drive connector 32 is rotatably connected to the driven pulley 6.

[0045] The drive cylinder 30 serves as a power source, transmitting power to the drive connector 32. The drive connector 32 can be pneumatically driven pulley 6, allowing the conveyor belt 4 to loosen, facilitating cleaning by personnel. The quick-release mounting base 31 provides corresponding support for the installation of the drive cylinder 30.

[0046] Working principle: During use, the suction roller 33 is located to the left of the front camera. The front camera 24 first visually inspects the snow cakes on the suction roller 33, checking the front side. After inspection, the snow cake falls from the suction roller 33 onto the conveyor belt 4, with the back side facing directly below the back camera 28. As it passes under the back camera 28, the back camera visually inspects the back side. The snow cake reaches the end of the conveyor belt 4. For qualified snow cakes, the rejection plate 9 connects them to the next process. For unqualified snow cakes, the rejection cylinder 7 drives the rejection plate 9 to rotate, causing the unqualified snow cake to enter the rejection cavity 11. Simultaneously, the pressure spring 19 exerts force to tighten the pressure connecting belt 20. The connecting belt 20 can drive the scraper 18 to rotate, so that the scraper 18 can abut against the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor belt 4 is running, the surface debris is scraped off. During the processing, the conveyor belt 4 may deviate. The photoelectric sensors 17 on both sides can detect whether the conveyor belt 4 deviates to the left or right. When the conveyor belt 4 deviates to the left, it triggers the photoelectric sensor 17 on the left. The left correction cylinder 14 drives the correction wheel 16 to press down, and the conveyor belt 4 deviates back to the right. Similarly, when the conveyor belt 4 deviates to the right, the right correction cylinder 14 is activated, which drives the correction wheel 16 to press down, and the conveyor belt 4 deviates back to the left. When it is necessary to clean the conveyor belt 4, the power is transmitted to the drive joint 32 through the drive joint 32. The drive joint 32 can pull up the driven pulley 6, so that the conveyor belt 4 is loosened and easy to clean.
