AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing process for detecting grains in yogurt cartons suffers from low operational efficiency and missed detections due to manual inspection, especially when the equipment is stopped or jammed, making it impossible to effectively identify and remove mother and daughter cartons that do not contain grains.

Method used

The system uses a white light spot photoelectric sensor combined with a shaving mechanism. It utilizes the semi-transparent properties of the mother and daughter boxes to detect grain shadows, identifies mother and daughter boxes lacking grains through the photoelectric sensor, and uses the shaving mechanism to remove them to the return route, returning them to the original conveying route for refilling.

Benefits of technology

It achieves automated detection and rejection of defective mother and daughter boxes, improves detection efficiency, avoids the inefficiency and missed detection problems of manual detection, and ensures product quality.

Abstract

A yogurt box cereal detection shaving mechanism relates to the technical field of dairy product packaging screening, which comprises a raw material conveying plate chain, a guide, a shaving mechanism, a blocking cylinder, a blocking plate, a return material tank, a return material conveying plate chain and a blocking piece; photoelectric sensors, guides and shaving mechanisms are sequentially arranged on both sides of the raw material conveying plate chain; the sensing end of the photoelectric sensor faces the side of the yogurt box containing cereal conveyed on the raw material conveying plate chain; the opposite side of the shaving mechanism is fixed with the return material tank; the shaving mechanism pushes the rejected yogurt box into the return material tank; the mechanism utilizes the translucent feature of the yogurt box body, detects the yogurt box body through the white light point photoelectric sensor, and rejects the unqualified yogurt box body from the original conveying route and into the return material route through the shaving mechanism, so that the operator can re-input the yogurt auxiliary food adding equipment, complete the filling, and re-enter the original conveying route.
