Research on Carrot Automatic Sorting Machine

Abstract:

Mechanical devices combined with computer vision technology can be used for automatic grading for carrots and other slim fruits and vegetables. We design the mechanical device for carrot intelligent grading machine, which is mainly composed of three parts: two-stage spacer device, chain roller conveyor and linear motors sorting fruit devices. Equipped with staggered grid conveyor belt with baffles and differential belt, the spacer device realizes primary and secondary fruit uniform, which can achieve precise single fruit conveying. The roller conveyor drives carrots rotating into CCD camera field one by one, which catches comprehensive carrot shape features that help precise grading. After receiving the grading signal, the linear motor puts carrots into corresponding boxes of different levels through the U-shaped catheter, which pushes carrot smoothly, efficiently, and with low damage rate.
