[0026] Example 1
[0027] A visual inspection-type illuminated fruit and vegetable tray, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a carrier plate 1, a partition plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the carrier plate 1, multiple light-filling slots 3 on the side wall of the partition plate 2, LED light strips 5 installed inside the light-filling slots 3, a light-transmitting plate for sealing the light-filling slots 3 fixed to the inner wall of the light-filling slots 3, and a reflector for focusing light on the inner wall of the light-filling slots 3. The top of the carrier plate 1 is divided into multiple placement cavities by the partition plate 2, and a placement groove 4 located in the placement cavity is provided on the top of the carrier plate 1. Anti-slip protrusions are evenly provided on the outer wall of the placement groove 4. A base plate 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom outer wall of the carrier plate 1, and an arc-shaped plate 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base plate 6. The arc-shaped plate 7 seals the side wall of one placement cavity. Multiple light-filling structures with the same structure as the light-filling slots 3 on the partition plate 2 are provided on the side wall of the arc-shaped plate 7. A conductive component 10 for conducting electricity to the LED light strips 5 is provided inside the base plate 6.
[0028] The bottom outer wall of the bearing plate 1 is fixedly connected to a rotating ring 8 located inside the chassis 6. A toothed ring 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating ring 8. A drive gear 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chassis 6. A drive motor that drives the drive gear 11 to rotate is installed inside the chassis 6. The drive motor is electrically connected to an external controller.
[0029] During testing, the tray is fixed to the workbench of the testing device. The placement slot 4 on the arc plate 7 is located below the testing camera. Fruits and vegetables are placed on the placement slot 4, and the LED light strip 5 emits light to supplement the illumination. When one fruit or vegetable is tested, the drive motor starts, the drive gear 11 rotates, and the carrier plate 1 moves through the transmission of the drive gear 11 and the rotating ring 8, causing the other placement slot 4 to move to the area below the testing camera for testing. The staff can place the fruit or vegetable to be tested at the same time as the test.
[0030] With a partition plate 2, a supplementary light slot 3, an LED light strip 5, a chassis 6, and an arc plate 7, the supplementary light structure is simple, the supplementary light effect is uniform, and the fruits and vegetables to be tested can be placed at the same time as the test, allowing for continuous testing and improving testing efficiency.
[0031] By placing the curved plate 7 on one side of a placement cavity, the number of LED light strips 5 used for supplemental lighting is reduced, thus lowering costs.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] A visual inspection supplementary lighting fruit and vegetable tray, this embodiment is based on embodiment 1, with the following improvements, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the conductive component 10 includes a cavity 12 and a fixing rod 14. The cavity 12 is disposed on the inner wall of the chassis 6. The fixing rod 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the bearing plate 1. A plurality of conductive contacts 15 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing rod 14. The conductive contacts 15 are connected one-to-one with a plurality of LED light strips 5 placed on the side wall of the cavity. A conductive plate 13 is fixed on the inner wall of the cavity 12. The conductive plate 13 contacts and engages with the conductive contacts 15. The conductive plate 13 is electrically connected to an external circuit.
[0034] When the carrier plate 1 rotates, the fixing rod 14 rotates with the carrier plate 1. When a placement cavity moves to one side of the arc plate 7, the conductive contact 15, which is electrically connected to the LED light strip 5 on its side, contacts the conductive plate 13 to conduct electricity. The LED light strip 5 is powered on and emits light, while the LED light strips 5 on the side walls of the other placement cavities are de-energized, thus realizing the automatic power-on supplementary lighting of the LED light strip 5.
[0035] By providing a conductive component 10, when a placement cavity moves to one side of the arc plate 7, the conductive contact 15, which is electrically connected to the LED light strip 5 on that side, contacts the conductive plate 13 to conduct electricity, and the LED light strip 5 is powered on and emits light, while the LED light strips 5 on the side walls of the other placement cavities are de-energized, thus realizing automatic power-on supplementary lighting for the LED light strip 5.
[0036] Working principle: During testing, the tray is fixed on the worktable of the testing device. The placement slot 4 of the arc plate 7 is located below the testing camera. Fruits and vegetables are placed on the placement slot 4, and the LED light strip 5 emits light to supplement the illumination. When the testing of one fruit or vegetable is completed, the drive motor starts and the drive gear 11 rotates. Through the transmission of the drive gear 11 and the rotating ring 8, the carrier plate 1 is moved, causing another placement slot 4 to move to the area below the testing camera for testing. The staff can place the fruit or vegetable to be tested at the same time as the testing. When the carrier plate 1 rotates, the fixing rod 14 rotates with the carrier plate 1. When a placement cavity moves to one side of the arc plate 7, the conductive contact 15, which is electrically connected to the LED light strip 5 on that side, contacts the conductive plate 13 and conducts electricity. The LED light strip 5 is energized and emits light, while the LED light strip 5 on the side walls of the other placement cavities is de-energized, realizing the automatic energization and supplementary lighting of the LED light strip 5.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
