Research of Garlic Umbilical (Root) Cutting Machine Based on Image Processing

Abstract:

Currently, cutting umbilical (root) process of dehydrated garlic slice processing plant has not been realized mechanization in China, and mostly completed by manual. Cutting umbilical (root) efficiency is low and the quality is difficult to guarantee. In this paper based on image processing, the demarcation line between garlic umbilical and garlic meat is measured, and then the measured data is transmitted to MCU control system of garlic umbilical (root) cutting machine through serial port communication technology. MCU system controls the gear motor to drive ball screw moving accurately and cutting garlic umbilical. The cutting error is less than 0.5 mm. This system adopts image processing technology and electromechanical integration technology, realizes the automation cutting of garlic umbilical (root).
