[0002] Cornus officinalis is an agricultural product with important medicinal value, and its quality directly affects its medicinal efficacy and economic value.
[0003] Color is one of the important indicators for judging the quality of Cornus officinalis. Mature and high-quality Cornus officinalis usually have a specific color, while immature, spoiled, or defective Cornus officinalis have different colors. At present, in the processing of Cornus officinalis, the color sorting process mostly uses general color sorting equipment. However, when color sorting Cornus officinalis, due to the small size of the fruit, the transport mechanism of the general equipment is prone to fruit accumulation and rolling, which makes it impossible to accurately identify the color of individual fruits during color sorting, thereby reducing the color sorting effect and making it impractical. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign a color sorting device for Cornus officinalis to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution for a color sorting device for Cornus officinalis:
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5A color sorting device for Cornus officinalis includes a transport frame 1, a support frame 2 fixedly installed on the bottom of the transport frame 1, two transport rollers 3 rotatably mounted inside the transport frame 1, a motor 4 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the transport frame 1 and connected to the rotating shaft of one of the transport rollers 3, multiple anti-slip protrusions 5 fixedly mounted on the outer walls of both transport rollers 3, a transport belt 6 sleeved on the outer walls of both transport rollers 3, multiple transport grooves formed on the surface of the transport belt 6, a hopper 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 2 via a support mechanism, a rotating disc 9 rotatably mounted inside the outlet of the hopper 8, and the rotating disc 9 rotates... Gears 10 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft and one of the conveying rollers 3. The two gears 10 mesh with each other. Multiple material dropping grooves are opened on the outer wall of the rotating disk 9. The distance between two adjacent material dropping grooves and two adjacent conveying grooves is the same. A support plate 11 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the conveying frame 1. An industrial camera 12 and a ring light 13 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the support plate 11. Light shields 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the support plate 11 by multiple bolts. An air pump 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the conveying frame 1 through a connecting mechanism. The outlet pipe of the air pump 16 extends to the inner side of the support plate 11.
[0026] Furthermore, the industrial camera 12 can accurately capture the color information of the dogwood in the transport trough, the ring light 13 can provide it with stable and sufficient light to avoid insufficient light affecting the recognition effect, the light shield 14 can reduce the interference of external stray light, making the recognition of the industrial camera 12 more accurate, and the position setting of the outlet pipe of the air pump 16 can ensure that when unqualified dogwood is identified, air is sprayed in time to blow it away from the transport belt 6.
[0027] The support mechanism includes a support rod 7 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support frame 2, and the end of the support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hopper 8.
[0028] Furthermore, the support rod 7 is made of high-strength alloy material, which has good load-bearing capacity and can stably support the hopper 8. Even if the hopper 8 is filled with a lot of dogwood, it will not shake or tilt, ensuring that the dogwood can fall smoothly.
[0029] The connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate 15 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transport frame 1, and an air pump 16 fixedly installed on the upper end face of the connecting plate 15.
[0030] Furthermore, the connecting plate 15 is connected to the outer wall of the transport frame 1 by welding. The connection is firm and can effectively withstand the vibration generated when the air pump 16 is working, preventing the air pump 16 from shifting due to vibration and ensuring that its jetting operation is stable.
[0031] A first connecting frame 17 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transport frame 1, and a first collection box 18 that cooperates with the outlet pipe of the air pump 16 is slidably installed inside the first connecting frame 17.
[0032] Furthermore, the size of the first collection box 18 is adapted to the spray range of the air pump 16, which can effectively collect substandard dogwood.
[0033] A second connecting frame 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support frame 2, and a second collection box 20 that cooperates with the end of the conveyor belt 6 is slidably installed inside the second connecting frame 19.
[0034] Furthermore, the height of the second connecting frame 19 is matched with the end of the conveyor belt 6 to ensure that qualified dogwood can fall accurately into the second collection box 20.
[0035] A controller 21 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transport frame 1. The controller 21 is electrically connected to the motor 4, the industrial camera 12, the ring light 13, and the air pump 16.
[0036] Furthermore, the controller 21 has preset qualified standard parameters for the color of dogwood. When the industrial camera 12 detects that the color of dogwood does not meet the standard, it will transmit a signal to the controller 21. The controller 21 will then control the air pump 16 to work and spray gas. At the same time, it can also adjust the speed of the motor 4 according to the actual situation, thereby controlling the running speed of the conveyor belt 6, making the entire color sorting process more intelligent and efficient.
[0037] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0038] Place the dogwood berries to be sorted into the hopper 8, start the controller 21, and the controller 21 controls the motor 4 to start. The motor 4 drives one of the conveyor rollers 3 to rotate. Under the transmission of the conveyor belt 6, the other conveyor roller 3 also rotates. At the same time, through the transmission of the gear 10, the conveyor roller 3 drives the rotating disk 9 to rotate synchronously. The dogwood berries in the hopper 8 enter the dropping groove of the rotating disk 9. As the rotating disk 9 rotates, the dogwood berries fall from the dropping groove into the conveyor trough of the conveyor belt 6 and are transported forward with the conveyor belt 6.
[0039] When the dogwood is transported to the area below the support plate 11, the ring light 13 illuminates to provide light for the industrial camera 12. The industrial camera 12 takes a picture of the dogwood and transmits the image information to the controller 21. The controller 21 analyzes the image information to determine whether the dogwood is qualified. If it is determined to be unqualified, when the dogwood is transported to the position corresponding to the outlet pipe of the air pump 16, the controller 21 controls the air pump 16 to start. The air pump 16 blows out gas to blow the unqualified dogwood into the first collection box 18. If it is determined to be qualified, the dogwood continues to be transported with the conveyor belt 6 and finally falls into the second collection box 20. After the work is completed, the first collection box 18 and the second collection box 20 can be slid out from the corresponding connecting frame to process the dogwood inside.
[0040] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
