The utility model relates to
foreign matter detection equipment for dried longan production, which comprises a frame and a first
conveyor belt mounted on the frame, a push plate and a
slide plate are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the first
conveyor belt, a
metal detector positioned right above the first
conveyor belt is arranged between the push plate and the
slide plate, a second conveyor belt is arranged below the
slide plate, and the second conveyor belt is arranged below the slide plate. A plurality of collecting boxes distributed at equal intervals are placed on the second conveying belt, one collecting box is located under the end, away from the first conveying belt, of the sliding plate, a driving unit used for driving the push plate to move in the direction close to or away from the sliding plate is arranged on the rack, and a controller is arranged in the rack. The first conveying belt, the second conveying belt, the
metal detector and the driving unit are all electrically connected with the controller; when the
metal detector detects that dried longans on the first conveyor belt contain metal foreign matters, the push plate pushes the dried longans containing the metal foreign matters into the collection box, so that the
stop time of the first conveyor belt is shortened, and the metal detection efficiency is further improved.
