Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food testing technology, specifically a dough cake testing and sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] One method of instant noodle production involves cutting noodles to a fixed length, shaping them into blocks, and then steaming them in a pressure vessel (pressure cooker). During the instant noodle production process, oil stains, burnt noodles, undercooked noodles, and damaged noodles may appear on the surface of the noodles. As food industry standards become increasingly stringent, requirements are being placed on the quality inspection of instant noodles. Currently, most of the inspections are conducted manually on-site during production, which is not only costly in terms of labor but also fails to guarantee quality.

[0003] During the current production process, the surface of the dough cakes may become dirty or have burnt black spots, which affects the actual production quality of the dough cakes. When inspecting the dough cakes, a combination of manual and visual inspection equipment is used. The inspection channel is limited, and it is not easy to remove the dough cakes in time after the dirt on the surface is detected, resulting in inconsistent quality of the dough cakes.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a dough cake detection and sorting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dough cake detection and sorting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the difficulty in tracking and detecting dough cakes in the existing dough cake production process, and the difficulty in timely removing dough cakes after detecting quality problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A dough cake detection and sorting device includes: a detection table, a support frame fixedly installed above the detection table, a linear guide rail mounted on the surface of the support frame, a linear motor mounted on the surface of the linear guide rail, a lifting cylinder mounted on the surface of the linear motor, a vision inspection camera mounted at the lower end of the lifting cylinder, a detection channel provided below the vision inspection camera, a sorting channel mounted at the lower end of the detection channel, a flow divider plate mounted on the surface of the sorting channel, a rejection channel provided on the left side of the flow divider plate, a qualified channel provided on the right side of the flow divider plate, and a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the qualified channel, a lever plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft, and a drive motor fixedly mounted at the lower end of the rotating shaft.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the visual inspection camera is connected to a linear motor via a lifting cylinder.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the detection channels are distributed at equal intervals along the surface of the detection table, and the angle between the detection channels and the detection table is degrees.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a linear guide rail 2 is installed on the inner wall of the detection channel, and a linear motor 2 is installed on the surface of the linear guide rail 2.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: a detection camera is mounted on the surface of the linear motor 2, and a proximity sensor is provided on one side of the detection camera 1.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper surface of the linear motor II is connected to a bracket, and the surface of the bracket is connected to a detection camera II via a support rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Multiple detection channels are provided, which can increase the detection path. Each detection channel corresponds to a sorting channel. A linear guide rail is set above the detection channel. The linear guide rail and the linear motor work together to drive the vision inspection camera to move. The vision inspection camera moves horizontally above the detection channel to visually inspect the dough passing through the upper end of the detection channel. Through the setting of the vision inspection camera and the image capture function, the dirt on the dough can be accurately detected.

[0015] 2. A linear guide rail and a linear motor are installed inside the detection channel, and a proximity sensor is used to sense the pancake. This allows the detection camera to track and detect the pancake in real time. By tracking and detecting, the image capture time of the pancake is extended, thereby achieving a more comprehensive and clear image capture function for the pancake.

[0016] 3. Inside the sorting channel, a diverter separates the rejection channel and the qualified channel. By rotating the deflector, unqualified dough pieces are pushed to the rejection channel for timely rejection, while qualified dough pieces pass through the qualified channel. In this way, defective dough pieces are promptly removed, improving the production quality of the dough pieces. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a dough cake detection and sorting device, including: a detection table 1, a support frame 2 fixedly installed above the detection table 1, a linear guide rail 3 installed on the surface of the support frame 2, a linear motor 4 installed on the surface of the linear guide rail 3, a lifting cylinder 5 installed on the surface of the linear motor 4, a visual inspection camera 6 installed at the lower end of the lifting cylinder 5, a detection channel 7 provided below the visual inspection camera 6, a sorting channel 8 installed at the lower end of the detection channel 7, a diverter plate 15 installed on the surface of the sorting channel 8, a rejection channel 16 provided on the left side of the diverter plate 15, a qualified channel 17 provided on the right side of the diverter plate 15, a rotating shaft 19 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the qualified channel 17, a lever plate 18 fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 19, and a drive motor 20 fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 19;

[0025] Specifically, the sorting channel 8 is located below the detection channel 7, separating the rejection channel 16 from the qualified channel 17. The deflector 18 intercepts the dough and pushes the unqualified dough towards the rejection channel 16, thereby selecting out the unqualified dough and achieving the sorting of the dough.

[0026] The visual inspection camera 6 is connected to the linear motor 4 via the lifting cylinder 5. Several inspection channels 7 are evenly distributed along the surface of the inspection table 1, and the angle between the inspection channels 7 and the inspection table 1 is 35 degrees.

[0027] Specifically, several inspection channels 7 are provided, which can simultaneously perform multi-channel visual inspection of dough, thereby improving the production efficiency and inspection efficiency of the dough production line. The inclined inspection channels 7 allow the dough to be automatically conveyed without power. The height of the visual inspection camera 6 is adjusted by the lifting cylinder 5, making it easier to get closer to the dough on the inspection channel 7, and thus to perform visual inspection more clearly. At the same time, the cooperation between the linear motor 4 and the linear guide rail 3 drives the visual inspection camera 6 to perform inspection above the several inspection channels 7.

[0028] Linear guide rail 2 9 is installed on the inner wall of detection channel 7, and linear motor 2 10 is installed on the surface of linear guide rail 2 9. Detection camera 12 is installed on the surface of linear motor 2 10, and a proximity sensor 11 is provided on one side of detection camera 12. A bracket 13 is connected to the upper surface of linear motor 2 10, and detection camera 2 14 is connected to the surface of bracket 13 through a support rod.

[0029] Specifically, a linear guide rail 2 9 is installed on the inner wall of the detection channel 7. The linear guide rail 2 9 cooperates with the linear motor 1 4 to drive the detection camera 1 12 to move. The proximity sensor 11 is used to sense the approach of the dough, so that the linear motor 2 10 can move with the dough to achieve tracking and detection of the dough. At the same time, the detection camera 2 14 is installed using the bracket 13. The detection camera 2 14 can detect the dough in the detection channel 7 from the front. Together with the detection camera 1 on the side, the detection camera can perform image detection of the dough from more angles to avoid omissions.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] When using this invention, after the dough is conveyed above the detection channel 7, the visual inspection camera 6 is driven to move horizontally along the linear guide rail 3 using the cooperation between the linear guide rail 3 and the linear motor 4. The lifting cylinder 5 lowers to adjust the height of the visual inspection camera 6, allowing it to get closer to the dough on the detection channel 7 and obtain a clearer image. The visual inspection camera 6 moves above the detection channel 7, visually inspecting the dough during the movement. The dough slides down the detection channel 7, and the proximity sensor 11 senses the dough. The cooperation between guide rail 29 and linear motor 4 allows inspection camera 12 to track and inspect the dough. Inspection camera 12 captures images of the dough in inspection channel 7. Inspection camera 12 inspects from the side, while inspection camera 24 inspects from the front. Next, the dough slides through inspection channel 7 into sorting channel 8. Drive motor 20 drives the turntable 18 to rotate through drive shaft 19. Turntable 18 intercepts unqualified dough and pushes it to rejection channel 16. For qualified dough, turntable 18 remains in place and passes smoothly through qualified channel 17.

[0032] 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.
