Description
본 발명은 비파괴 과실선별기에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 연속적으로 이송되는 과실에 순간적으로 빛을 투과시켜 광섬유케이블을 통하여 센서에 근적외 파장 영역별로 과실내부의 성분에 의한 흡수, 산란된 광학정보를 전달시켜 그 광학정보에 의해 당도 및 산도를 측정하여 미리 입력된 측정치에 의해 등급으로 선별하도록 한 비파괴 과실선별기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a non-destructive fruit sorter, and more particularly, instantaneous light is transmitted to the fruit conveyed continuously, and the optical information absorbed and scattered by the components inside the fruit for each near-infrared wavelength region to the sensor through the optical fiber cable. The present invention relates to a non-destructive fruit sorter which transmits and measures sugar and acidity by its optical information, and selects the grade by a previously input measurement value.
일반적으로 과실을 수확한 뒤 크기(중량)나 색깔의 정도 및 흠집유무별로 선별하여 상품의 가치에 따라 등급을 매겨 상품으로 유통시키고 있는 실정이다.In general, after harvesting the fruit, the size (weight), the degree of color and the presence of scratches are sorted according to the value of the goods and distributed to the goods.
그러나 과실을 등급별로 선별하는 방법 가운데 과실의 특성상 상기와 같이 외관에 의해 선별된 것은 비록 등급이 높은 과실일지라도 그 당도 및 산도 등의 맛을 알 수 없어 상품의 가치를 결정하는데 과실(過失)을 범하게 되어 최상품의 가치를 실추시키고 있는 사례가 빈번하다.However, among the methods of sorting the fruits by grade, the sorted by appearance as mentioned above, even though the grade is high, it doesn't know the taste of sugar or acidity, so it is wrong to decide the value of the product. There are many cases where the value of top quality is lost.
그래서 과실을 파괴하지 않고 빛을 투과시켜 외관, 당도 및 산도를 측정하여 측정치에 따라 과일선별하는 선별기가 외국에서 개발되어 사용되고 있기는 하나 선별하기 위하여 빛이 투과되는 과정에 빛이 분산되거나 과실의 크기에 따라 투과되는 빛의 양이 천차만별하여 미리 입력된 측정치에 의해 자동적으로 선별되는 과정에 오차가 발생하고, 빛이 분산되는 만큼 센서에 감응되는 그 빛의 세기가 약하므로 정확도가 떨어져 선별된 과실의 등급에 오차가 발생하는 문제점이 있었다.Therefore, a fruit selector that measures the appearance, sugar and acidity by transmitting light without destroying the fruit and is developed and used in foreign countries according to the measured value is used. Error occurs in the process of automatically sorting by the pre-input measurement value according to the difference in the amount of light transmitted according to the difference, and the intensity of the light sensitive to the sensor is weak as the light is dispersed. There was a problem that an error occurs in the grade.
본 발명은 상기의 종래 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출한 것으로 과실을 등급별로 선별할 때 투과되는 빛을 최대한 응집시켜 센서에 전달되는 광학정보를 최대한 높여서 등급별로 나누는 작업에 정확도를 최대치로 높이고자 하는데 그 발명의 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems to maximize the accuracy in the task of dividing by grade to maximize the optical information transmitted to the sensor by maximizing aggregation of the transmitted light when sorting the fruit by the grade. There is an object of the invention.
상기의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 과실을 콘베이어로 이송되게 하고, 빛을 발하는 광원은 상하 높이조절 가능하도록 하고, 그 광원의 밑으로 콘베이어를 구성한 링크의 저면 분산방지통에 근접되게 센서에 연결된 광섬유케이블을 위치시켜 광원에서 발하는 빛을 외부로 분산되지 않은 상태에서 바로 광섬유케이블을 통하여 센서에 전달되도록 하여 미리 입력된 측정치에 의해 과실이 등급별로 선별되는 과실선별기를 제공하고자 하는 것이다.In order to achieve the above object, the fruit is transferred to the conveyor, and the light source emitting light can be adjusted up and down, and the optical fiber cable connected to the sensor close to the bottom dispersion prevention container of the link constituting the conveyor under the light source. By positioning the light emitted from the light source to be transmitted to the sensor directly through the optical fiber cable in a non-dispersed state to provide a fruit sorter that sorts the fruit by grade by a pre-input measurement value.

이하, 첨부한 도면에 관련하여 본 발명의 일실시예에 의해서 이루어진 그 구성을 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the configuration made by an embodiment of the present invention.
도1은 본 발명에 의해 구성된 과실선별기의 일실시례를 개략적으로 도시한 상태도이며, 도2는 본 발명의 요부인 빛을 투과하는 장치를 발췌하여 확대한 정면도이고, 도3은 본 발명의 일부인 콘베이어를 구성하는 링크를 발췌하여 분해한 사시도이다.FIG. 1 is a state diagram schematically showing an embodiment of a fruit sorter constructed by the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of an extract of a device that transmits light, which is an essential part of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a part of the present invention. It is the perspective view which extracted and disassembled the link which comprises a conveyor.
도시된 바와 같이 과실을 콘베이어(2)로 이송되게 하고, 빛을 발하는 여러 개의 광원(5)을 고정한 고정판(6)이 가이드봉(7)에서 상하 높이조절 가능하도록 하고, 그 광원(5)의 밑으로 콘베이어(2)를 구성한 링크(21)의 저면 분산방지통(21b)에 근접되게 센서(4)에 연결된 광섬유케이블(3)을 위치시켜 광원(5)에서 발하는 빛을 센서(4)에 전달되도록 하여 콘트롤(8)에 미리 입력된 측정치에 의해 과실이 등급별로 선별되도록 하였다.As shown, the fruit is transferred to the conveyor (2), and the fixing plate (6) fixing several light sources (5) that emits light can be adjusted up and down in the guide rod (7), and the Position the optical fiber cable 3 connected to the sensor 4 close to the bottom dispersion prevention container 21b of the link 21 constituting the conveyor 2 to direct light emitted from the light source 5 to the sensor 4. The fruit was sorted by grade by the measurement value pre-input to the control 8.
상기 콘베이어(2)를 구성한 링크(21)는 본체에 분산방지통(21b)과 시료컵(21a)을 끼워서 구성되며, 시료컵(21a)은 과실을 얹기 위한 수단이고, 분산방지통(21b)은 과실에 투과된 빛이 주위로 분산되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 구성한 수단이다.The link 21 constituting the conveyor 2 is formed by sandwiching the dispersion preventing container 21b and the sample cup 21a in the main body, and the sample cup 21a is a means for placing fruit, and the dispersion preventing container 21b. Is a means configured to prevent the light transmitted through the fruit from being dispersed around.
상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명의 실시례에 따라 작동되는 과정 및 그 작용효과를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation and the effect thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.
본 발명에 의해서 구성된 선별기(1)에 전원을 공급하고, 이송하는 콘베이어(2)의 링크(21)의 시료컵(21a)에 과실을 얹는다. 콘베이어(2)가 이송되면서 광원(5)의 저면에 당도하면 광원(5)에서 발하는 빛은 과실을 투과하여 광섬유케이블(3)을 통하여 광학정보가 센서(4)에 전달된다. 이때 링크(21)의 분산방지통(21b)에 근접되어 있는 광섬유케이블(3)사이로 분산되는 빛은 분산방지통(21b)에 의해 막아주게 된다. 그리고 광원(5)을 설치한 고정판(6)은 과실에 따라 높이를 조절하여 가능하면 광원(5)을 과실의 적도부에 근접되게 하여야 보다 더 효과적이다.Fruit is placed on the sample cup 21a of the link 21 of the conveyor 2 which supplies power to the sorter 1 comprised by this invention, and conveys. When the conveyor 2 reaches the bottom of the light source 5 while being conveyed, the light emitted from the light source 5 passes through the fruit, and optical information is transmitted to the sensor 4 through the optical fiber cable 3. At this time, the light dispersed between the optical fiber cable 3 in proximity to the dispersion barrier 21b of the link 21 is blocked by the dispersion barrier 21b. And the fixing plate 6 in which the light source 5 is installed is more effective by adjusting the height according to the fruit so that the light source 5 should be as close to the equator of the fruit as possible.
센서(4)에 전달된 광학정보는 컨트롤러(8)에 미리 작성된 검량식에 의해 선별되도록 하였기 때문에 등급별로 과실이 선별된 상태로 이송되어 후방에서 등급별로 인출되는 것이다.Since the optical information transmitted to the sensor 4 is sorted by a calibration formula prepared in advance in the controller 8, the fruit is picked up by the grade and drawn out from the rear by the grade.
그리고 과실의 종류에 따라 크기가 다르기 때문에 과실에 근접되도록 광원(5)의 위치를 조절하면 그 과실의 당도 및 산도측정에 효과가 높다.And since the size varies depending on the type of fruit, if the position of the light source 5 is adjusted to be close to the fruit, the effect of measuring the sugar and acidity of the fruit is high.
이와 같이 과실을 파괴하지 않고 과실에 빛을 투과하여 당도 및 산도를 측정할 수 있고, 그 당도 및 산도의 측정치에 의해 과실을 등급별로 선별할 수 있어 상품의 가치가 고양되는 특징이 있다.As such, the sugar and acidity can be measured by transmitting light to the fruit without destroying the fruit, and the fruit can be selected by grade based on the measured values of sugar and acidity, thereby enhancing the value of the product.
본 발명에 의해 구성된 선별기로 과실을 선별할 때 투과되는 빛을 응집시켜 센서에 전달되는 광학정보를 최대한 높여서 당도로 등급을 나누는 작업이 신속도와 정확도를 최대치로 높일 수 있는 특징이 있다.When the fruit is sorted by the sorting device configured by the present invention, the light transmitted by agglomerating the optical information transmitted to the sensor is maximized to divide the sugar content into a feature that can increase the speed and accuracy to the maximum.
