Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navel orange processing technology, and in particular to a navel orange peel detection device with sorting function. Background Technology
[0002] Navel oranges are an important fruit, widely grown and consumed globally. To meet market demand for navel oranges of different qualities, they are typically graded.
[0003] A navel orange detection and sorting device, such as one disclosed in CN215235927U, includes a feeding hopper, a screening main frame, and a collection trough. The feeding hopper is used to pour in the navel oranges to be screened. The screening main frame is connected to the feeding hopper and is used to screen the navel oranges. The collection trough is inclinedly arranged below the screening main frame and is used to receive the navel oranges screened out by the screening main frame. One end of the collection trough is provided with a discharge hopper for the navel oranges to roll out of the collection trough. A buffer sleeve is fitted on the discharge hopper to slow down the falling speed of the navel oranges into the navel orange frame. The discharge end of the discharge hopper is provided with a flange, and the buffer sleeve is provided with a positioning member adapted to the flange. The positioning member is used to cooperate with the flange to position the buffer sleeve on the discharge hopper. This utility model can reduce the intensity of the collision between the navel oranges and the bottom of the navel orange frame when they fall into the frame, and avoid damage to the internal structure of the navel oranges. However, this navel orange sorting and testing device can only sort navel oranges of different sizes and cannot test the peel of the navel oranges. It requires the use of another testing device, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reduces the efficiency of navel orange processing, and has a high cost. In addition, although there is a buffer protection when the navel oranges fall from the screening frame into the collection tank, it is still difficult to avoid damage to the navel oranges, which affects the quality of the navel oranges.
[0004] Therefore, a navel orange peel detection device with sorting function has been developed that can sort navel oranges of different sizes, detect the peel of navel oranges, and prevent navel oranges from falling and getting damaged. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing navel orange sorting and testing devices, which can only sort navel oranges of different sizes and cannot test the orange peel, requiring the use of additional testing devices, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, reduces navel orange processing efficiency, and is costly, and which still suffer damage when the oranges fall from the screening frame into the collection tank, affecting the quality of the oranges, this utility model provides a navel orange peel testing device with sorting function that can sort navel oranges of different sizes, test the orange peel, and prevent damage from falling oranges.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A navel orange peel detection device with sorting function includes a mounting frame, a conveyor belt, a sorting frame, a sorting component, and a detection component. The mounting frame is equipped with a conveyor belt on its upper part, and multiple sorting frames are connected to the upper side of the mounting frame. The sorting frames are equipped with sorting components that can sort navel oranges of different sizes, and the mounting frame is equipped with a detection component that can detect the peel of the navel oranges.
[0008] In one embodiment, the sorting rack decreases in height from left to right.
[0009] In one embodiment, the sorting assembly includes a motor, a belt, and a conveyor belt. The motor is connected to the upper rear side of the leftmost sorting frame. Rotating rollers are rotatably provided on both the front and rear sides of the sorting frame. The motor output shaft is connected to the adjacent rotating rollers. A belt is wound around the two adjacent rotating rollers on the rear side through a transmission wheel. A conveyor belt is wound between the two adjacent rotating rollers on the front and rear sides.
[0010] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt is equipped with multiple flexible paddles.
[0011] In one embodiment, the detection assembly includes a conveyor frame, a vision inspection instrument, a cylinder, an L-shaped pusher, a support rod, a soft pad, a buffer plate, a sponge pad, and a torsion spring. Multiple conveyor frames are connected to the upper front side of the mounting frame. Multiple vision inspection instruments are connected to the upper part of each conveyor frame. Two cylinders are connected to the upper right side of each conveyor frame. L-shaped pushers are connected to the telescopic ends of each cylinder. Support rods are connected between each conveyor frame and the mounting frame. Two soft pads are connected to the upper left inner side of each conveyor frame. Multiple buffer plates are rotatably connected to the lower part of each conveyor frame. Sponge pads are connected to the front and rear sides of each buffer plate. Two torsion springs are connected between each buffer plate and the connected conveyor frame.
[0012] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt, motor, vision inspection device, cylinder, and processor are electrically connected via a control module.
[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. This utility model starts the motor, drives the rotating roller to rotate, the belt to rotate, drives the remaining rotating rollers on the rear side to rotate, so that the conveyor belt rotates. The flexible blocks on the conveyor belt push the navel oranges forward to the corresponding conveyor rack, so that the navel oranges slide down along the conveyor rack. This achieves the effect of sorting navel oranges of different sizes and avoiding damage from falling navel oranges.
[0014] 2. This utility model uses a visual inspection instrument to detect the color, surface defects, and blemishes on the peel of navel oranges. When the navel orange is detected as a high-quality product, it slides down along the right channel of the conveyor frame. When the navel orange is detected as a defective product, the processor starts the cylinder through the control module, pushing the L-shaped pusher block to the left. The L-shaped pusher block pushes the navel orange to the left, causing it to slide down along the left channel of the conveyor frame. This achieves the effect of detecting the peel of navel oranges and improving processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] A device for detecting the peel of navel oranges with sorting function, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, a sorting frame 3, a sorting component, and a detection component. The mounting frame 1 is equipped with a conveyor belt 2 on its upper part, and three sorting frames 3 are connected to the upper side of the mounting frame 1. The height of the sorting frames 3 decreases from left to right to facilitate the sorting of navel oranges of different sizes. The sorting frame 3 is equipped with a sorting component, and the mounting frame 1 is equipped with a detection component.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sorting assembly includes a motor 4, a belt 5, and a conveyor belt 6. The motor 4 is connected to the upper rear side of the leftmost sorting frame 3. Rotating rollers are rotatably installed on both the front and rear sides of the sorting frame 3. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the adjacent rotating rollers. A belt 5 is wound around the two adjacent rotating rollers on the rear side through a transmission wheel. A conveyor belt 6 is wound between the two adjacent rotating rollers on the front and rear sides. Each conveyor belt 6 is equipped with eighteen flexible levers to facilitate the manipulation of navel oranges.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the detection assembly includes a conveyor frame 7, a vision inspection instrument 8, a cylinder 9, an L-shaped pusher 10, a support rod 11, a soft pad 12, a buffer plate 13, a sponge pad 14, and a torsion spring 15. Three conveyor frames 7 are connected to the upper front side of the mounting frame 1. Two vision inspection instruments 8 are connected to the upper part of each conveyor frame 7. Two cylinders 9 are connected to the upper right side of each conveyor frame 7. The conveyor belt 2, motor 4, vision inspection instruments 8, cylinders 9, and processor are electrically connected through a control module. L-shaped pushers 10 are connected to the telescopic ends of each cylinder 9. Support rods 11 are connected between each conveyor frame 7 and the mounting frame 1. Two soft pads 12 are connected to the upper left inner side of each conveyor frame 7. Four buffer plates 13 are rotatably connected to the lower part of each conveyor frame 7. Sponge pads 14 are connected to the front and rear sides of each buffer plate 13. Two torsion springs 15 are connected between each buffer plate 13 and the connected conveyor frame 7.
[0024] When using this utility model, first place the mounting frame 1 in the navel orange peel detection area, then place the navel orange on the conveyor belt 2. The processor starts the conveyor belt 2 through the control module to convey the navel orange to the right. Larger navel oranges are blocked by the leftmost sorting frame 3, medium-sized navel oranges are blocked by the middle sorting frame 3, and smaller navel oranges are blocked by the rightmost sorting frame 3. The processor starts the motor 4 through the control module to drive the rotating roller to rotate. The belt 5 rotates, which drives the remaining rotating rollers on the rear side to rotate, so that the conveyor belt 6 rotates. The flexible paddle on the conveyor belt 6 pushes the navel orange forward to the corresponding conveyor frame 7, so that the navel orange slides down along the conveyor frame 7. The support rod 11 supports the conveyor frame 7, thereby enabling the sorting of navel oranges of different sizes and preventing the navel oranges from falling and getting damaged.
[0025] When the navel oranges move to the conveyor rack 7, the vision inspection instrument 8 detects the color of the orange peel, surface defects, blemishes, etc. When the navel orange is detected as a high-quality product, it slides down along the right channel of the conveyor rack 7. When the navel orange is detected as a defective product, the processor starts the cylinder 9 through the control module, pushing the L-shaped pusher 10 to move to the left, so that the L-shaped pusher 10 pushes the navel orange to the left, causing the navel orange to slide down along the left channel of the conveyor rack 7. This achieves the function of detecting the peel of the navel orange and improving processing efficiency.
[0026] The soft pad 12 protects the navel oranges from impacting the conveyor frame 7 and causing damage. After the navel oranges slide down to the bottom of the conveyor frame 7, they come into contact with the sponge pad 14 on the buffer plate 13, which pushes the buffer plate 13 to rotate and open. The torsion spring 15 deforms, allowing the navel oranges to pass through. After the navel oranges are removed from the buffer plate 13, the torsion spring 15 returns to its original position, causing the buffer plate 13 to rotate and reset.

All equivalent substitutions made within the principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Contents not described in detail in this utility model are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
