Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili pepper screening technology, specifically to a real-time removal device for moldy chili peppers based on infrared imaging. Background Technology
[0002] Dried chili peppers are chili pepper products made by naturally drying and artificially dehydrating red chili peppers. They are characterized by low moisture content and are suitable for long-term storage. They are often used as raw materials for processing chili pepper products. However, dried chili peppers are prone to mold growth due to improper storage, such as unsealed packaging. This can lead to white mold, off-odors, and other signs of spoilage. Consuming dried chili peppers may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening. Therefore, moldy chili peppers need to be screened and removed before secondary processing.
[0003] The current screening and removal method mainly involves manual sorting, judging the appearance of dried chilies by observing whether there are mold spots such as white, green or black mold spots, and then manually removing them. This removal method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, which is not conducive to subsequent production and processing.
