[0002] Color sorters are widely used equipment in the food processing industry, especially in screening agricultural particles, where they demonstrate high efficiency and accuracy. Traditional food color sorters can separate different types of agricultural particles from a mixture, facilitating further processing and packaging. This process not only improves production efficiency but also ensures consistent product quality. With technological advancements, the functions of color sorters have been continuously expanded. They can not only be used to separate different types of agricultural particles but also to screen good and bad products of the same type of agricultural particles, further enhancing the refinement of food processing. A multi-functional food color sorter is now being used to meet these needs.

[0003] However, existing multi-functional food color sorters have certain defects. They cannot perform pre-dust removal on the food to be sorted, which causes dust and impurities on the surface of the food to enter the food color sorter, causing heat accumulation inside the food color sorter and affecting its normal use. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing multi-functional food color sorters, such as the inability to perform pre-dust removal on the food to be sorted.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This utility model provides a multifunctional food color sorter, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the machine includes: a main body 1, a first color sorter 2, a second color sorter 3, a hopper 4, and a dust removal assembly. The main body 1 houses a light source, a camera, an image processing unit, a control unit, a conveying unit, and a sorting unit. The main body 1 serves as the supporting frame for the multi-functional food color sorter. The first color sorter 2 can be a discharge pipe, connected to the main body 1, used for guiding normal food. The second color sorter 3 can be a second discharge pipe, connected to the main body 1, used for guiding defective food. The hopper 4 is located on the main body 1 for feeding the color-sorted food. The dust removal assembly includes a guide 5, a guide 6, a connector 7, a filter 8, and a collector 9. The guide 5 can be a guide cover, and its shape is conical. The top diameter is larger than the bottom diameter. The guide 5 is snapped into the hopper 4. The guide 6 can be a cone with a top diameter smaller than the bottom diameter. The guide 6 is connected to the connector 7, which can be a connecting plate. The filter 8 can be a filter plate with a circular shape and filter holes inside. The filter 8 is set in the connector 7. The collector 9 can be a collection box and is inserted into the connector 7. The guide 5 is located above the guide 6 and drives the color-sorted food to move along the guide 6. The collector 9 has a collection groove 14 located below the filter 8. The filter 8 is located outside the guide 6 and is set correspondingly to the guide 6.

[0028] By using a dust removal component, pre-dust removal can be performed on the food to be sorted, preventing dust and impurities adhering to the surface of the food from entering the food color sorter and causing heat buildup inside the multi-functional food color sorter, which would then affect the normal operation of the multi-functional food color sorter.

[0029] In use, the food to be sorted is then placed downwards from the guide 5. Guided by the guide 5, it falls onto the outer surface of the guide 6 below. Since the guide 6 can be a cone, with the top diameter smaller than the bottom diameter, the food to be sorted slides down the outer surface of the guide 6 under the influence of gravity. As the food moves, it falls above the filter 8, where it impacts the filter 8, shaking off dust and impurities adhering to its surface. The filter 8 collects the shaken-off dust and impurities, which then enter the collection groove 14 of the collector 9. The food is then then sorted... Upon impact, the food rebounds and enters the hopper 4, then slides down into the conveying device. The conveying device transports the food to be sorted to the sorting area. The light source inside the machine 1 provides illumination, and the camera captures the image information of the food to be sorted in real time. The image processing device analyzes and processes the image to identify normal food and defective food. The control device precisely controls the sorting device based on the image processing results (the sorting principle here is existing technology known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here). Food identified as normal is guided to sorting component 2 for discharge, while food identified as defective is guided to sorting component 3 for discharge.

[0030] Specifically, color sorter 1 2 is installed on the machine body 1, color sorter 2 3 is installed on the machine body 1, hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine body 1, guide 5 is snapped into the inside of hopper 4 at both ends, guide 6 is installed inside hopper 4 below guide 5, connector 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of guide 6, filter 8 is installed at the top of connector 7 outside guide 6, and collection 9 is inserted at the bottom of connector 7 below filter 8, and collection groove 14 is opened inside collection 9.

[0031] To improve the maintenance efficiency of collection component 9, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the collecting component 9 is equipped with a snap-fit ​​assembly, which includes a snap-fit ​​component 10, protrusions 11, an auxiliary component 12, and a rubber component 13. The snap-fit ​​component 10 consists of a snap-fit ​​rod and a hemisphere, and is connected to the collecting component 9. There are four protrusions 11, which are located on the hemisphere of the snap-fit ​​component 10. The auxiliary component 12 can be a snap-fit ​​cylinder, and has a snap-fit ​​groove inside. The auxiliary component 12 is located in the hopper 4. The rubber part 13 can be a rubber gasket. The shape of the rubber part 13 is hemispherical. The rubber part 13 is bonded to the auxiliary part 12. The snap fastener 10 is snapped onto the rubber part 13. The snap fastener 10 drives the protrusion 11 to keep it in contact with the rubber part 13. Multiple snap fasteners 10 are evenly spaced around the collecting part 9. The snap fasteners 10 and the auxiliary part 12 are arranged one-to-one. The center of the snap fastener 10 and the center of the rubber part 13 are on the same vertical line. The snap fastener 10 is attached to the rubber part 13.

[0032] The snap-fit ​​assembly enables quick disassembly and replacement of the dust removal component, facilitating cleaning of the inside of the collection component 9, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the collection component 9 and enhancing the ease of use of the dust removal component.

[0033] In use, first hold the connector 7 by hand and move it to the position above the hopper 4. The movement of the connector 7 will cause the guide 6, filter 8 and collector 9 to move synchronously. The movement of the collector 9 will cause the snap-fit ​​10 and the protrusion 11 to move synchronously. Then, the snap-fit ​​10 will be aligned with the auxiliary part 12 on the hopper 4. Then, move the collector 9 downward, so that the collector 9 will cause the snap-fit ​​10 and the protrusion 11 to move downward synchronously. As the snap-fit ​​10 moves, it will snap into the interior of the auxiliary part 12. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​10 will be in contact with the rubber part 13. Due to the gravity of the collector 9, the snap-fit ​​10 will cause the protrusion 11 to keep in contact with the rubber part 13, which can increase the friction between the snap-fit ​​10 and the auxiliary part 12, thereby improving the connection stability between the snap-fit ​​10 and the auxiliary part 12.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom of the connector 7 is provided with multiple snap-fit ​​parts 10, and the bottom of the snap-fit ​​parts 10 is fixedly connected with multiple protrusions 11. The hopper 4 is provided with multiple auxiliary parts 12 at the positions corresponding to the snap-fit ​​parts 10. A rubber part 13 is bonded inside the auxiliary part 12. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​parts 10 is snapped into the inside of the rubber part 13, and the outer surface of the protrusions 11 is attached to the outer surface of the rubber part 13.

[0035] Working principle: In actual use, the device is first operated by holding the connector 7 and moving it to a position above the hopper 4. The movement of the connector 7 causes the guide 6, filter 8, and collector 9 to move synchronously. The movement of the collector 9 causes the locking member 10 and protrusion 11 to move synchronously, aligning the locking member 10 with the auxiliary member 12 on the hopper 4. Then, the collector 9 is moved downwards, causing the locking member 10 and protrusion 11 to move downwards synchronously. As the locking member 10 moves, it engages... When the clip 10 is inserted into the auxiliary component 12, its outer surface will adhere to the rubber component 13. Due to the gravity of the collecting component 9, the clip 10 will drive the protrusion 11 to keep in contact with the rubber component 13, which can increase the friction between the clip 10 and the auxiliary component 12, thereby improving the connection stability between the clip 10 and the auxiliary component 12. This allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the dust removal component, facilitating cleaning of the inside of the collecting component 9, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of the collecting component 9 and improving the ease of use of the dust removal component.

[0036] The food to be sorted is then fed downwards from guide 5. Guided by guide 5, it falls onto the outer surface of guide 6 below. Since guide 6 can be a cone with a smaller diameter at the top than at the bottom, the food to be sorted slides down the outer surface of guide 6 under gravity. As the food moves, it falls above filter 8, where it impacts the filter, shaking off dust and impurities. Filter 8 collects the shaken-off dust and impurities, which enter the collection groove 14 of collector 9. After impact, the food rebounds and enters the hopper 4, then slides downwards into the conveying device. The conveying device then... Food is transported to the color sorting area. The light source inside the machine 1 provides illumination, and the camera captures the image information of the food to be sorted in real time. The image processing device analyzes and processes the image to identify normal food and defective food. The control device precisely controls the operation of the sorting device based on the image processing results (the color sorting principle here is a well-known prior art and will not be described in detail here). Food identified as normal is guided to color sorting component 2 for discharge, while food identified as defective is guided to color sorting component 3 for discharge. This can realize the pre-dust removal operation of the food to be sorted, and prevent dust and impurities attached to the surface of the food to be sorted from entering the interior of the food color sorter, thereby causing heat accumulation inside the multi-functional food color sorter and affecting the normal use of the multi-functional food color sorter.
