The operating principle of the orange segment separating machine is as follows: A. sleeving the peeled orange A outside the orange carrying column 23;

B. the camera 6 shoots an image of the orange A loaded on the orange carrying column 23 to obtain position information of an orange A sectioning line A1;

C. moving the orange carrying column 23 carrying the orange a to the orange turning position corresponding to the orange turning mechanism 3, and then moving the guide hole 311a of the orange turning mechanism 3 to the fixed position corresponding to the guide column of the orange carrying column 23;

D. the orange rotating mechanism 3 rotates the orange A according to the position information of the sectioning line A1, so that a plurality of sectioning lines A1 of the orange A sequentially correspond to the sectioning saw 41, and when the sectioning saw 41 corresponds to the sectioning line A1, the sectioning saw 41 controls the sectioning line A1 of the cutting part.

During use, the oranges a are fixed between the orange tray 232 and the orange turning tray 31, and the sectioning saw 41 moves to the outer peripheral surfaces of the orange tray body 232a and the orange tray body 311 through the gap between the orange tray contact strip 312 and the orange tray contact strip 232b during sectioning. Due to the large number of contact strips and the large gap, there is no blocking of the saw string 412.

In the using process, the oranges A are slightly squeezed between the orange tray 232 and the orange rotating tray 31, and the orange tray 232 rotates along with the orange rotating tray 31 under the influence of the friction force of the oranges A received, so that damage to the oranges A caused by friction is avoided.

After being split by the orange splitting machine, the orange A segment A3 and the segment A3 are also slightly adhered, which is to prevent the orange A segment from falling from the orange tray 232 in the splitting process, and finally, the processed orange A can be completely split under the slight washing of water flow, and the orange A can be also be split artificially.

The orange segment separating machine has the beneficial effects that: 1. when the orange carrying column 23 of the conveying mechanism 2 moves to the position below the conveying belt driving motor 22, oranges A automatically fall off from the orange carrying column 23 under the action of gravity, and automatic discharging is realized; meanwhile, the orange A residue attached to the surface of the orange carrying column 23 is automatically fallen off by the vibration of the conveyer belt driving motor 22.

2. The orange tray 232 can rotate along the orange carrying column 23, and in the sectioning process, the orange tray 232 rotates along with the orange tray 31 under the influence of the friction force of the orange A, so that the damage caused by the friction between the orange A and the orange tray 232 is avoided, and the damage risk is reduced.

3. During the cutting of the sectioning line A1 by the sectioning saw 41, the sawing string 412 is limited from being continuously cut when moving to the contact surface of the orange pan body 311 and the orange pan body 232a, so that the oranges a are not completely cut, and the incompletely cut oranges a can be prevented from falling off the orange carrying column 23, and the integrity of the oranges a is ensured.

4. The camera 6 adopts an industrial camera to shoot an orange A image, the image is transmitted to the controller, and because the position of the sectioning line A1 of the orange A is brighter white and the other positions are orange, the position of the sectioning line A1 can be obtained through binaryzation, and the rotation angle required by sectioning is calculated. Thereby improving the accuracy in the process of splitting and reducing the damage.

5. The vibrator 42 vibrates the sectioning saw 41 up and down, so that the sectioning saw 41 can effectively cut the sectioning line A1 in the process of cutting the sectioning line A1, and a good sectioning effect is achieved.

6. When there is a certain deviation between the split saw 41 and the split line A1, the swing joint 44 can make the split saw 41 automatically compensate.

7. The operation flow of the orange segment separating machine is as follows: oranges are first fixed to the orange carrying columns 23, and a plurality of orange carrying columns 23 fixed to the conveyor plate 211 can insert a plurality of oranges a at a time, and then the sectioning machine is started to work, and when the batch of oranges a is being sectioned, the next batch of oranges a can be inserted continuously. Two operators can use the orange sectioning machine to section approximately 4000-5000 oranges a per hour. The multi-batch flow type operation of the orange segment separating machine improves the working efficiency and reduces the labor cost.
