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 turning mechanism 3 rotates the orange a based on the position information of the split line a1, so that the split lines a1 of the orange a sequentially correspond to the positions of the split saw 41, and controls the split line a1 of the cut portion of the split saw 41 when the split saw 41 corresponds to the position of the split line a 1.

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 orange sectioning with an orange sectioning machine, there is also a small portion of adhesion between the orange A section A3 and the section A3, which is to prevent the orange A section from falling off the orange tray 232 during sectioning, and finally the processed orange A can be completely sectioned with a slight wash of the water stream, although sectioning can also be done manually.

The orange segment separating machine has the beneficial effects that: firstly, 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.

Second, 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 rotating 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.

Third, during the process of cutting the sectioning line a1, the sectioning saw 41 limits the continuous sectioning of the sawing string 412 when the sawing string 412 moves to the contact surface of the rotary orange tray body 311 and the support orange tray body 232a, so that the orange a is not completely sectioned, and the incompletely sectioned orange a can be prevented from falling off the orange carrying column 23 on one hand, and the integrity of the orange a is ensured on the other hand.

Fourthly, the camera 6 shoots an orange A image by adopting an industrial camera, the image is transmitted to the controller, and the position of a sectioning line A1 can be obtained by binarization because the sectioning line A1 of the orange A is brighter white and other places are orange red, so that the rotation angle required by sectioning can be calculated. Thereby improving the accuracy of the split and reducing the damage.

Fifthly, the vibrator 42 enables the sectioning saw 41 to vibrate up and down, so that the sectioning saw 41 can be ensured to effectively cut the sectioning line A1 in the process of cutting the sectioning line A1, and a better sectioning effect is achieved.

Sixth, 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.

Seventhly, the operation flow of the orange segment dividing machine is as follows: oranges are first secured to the orange carrying columns 23 and the orange carrying columns 23 secured to the conveyor plate 211 can receive a plurality of oranges a at a time, and the sectioning machine is then activated to continue to receive the next batch of oranges a while the batch is being sectioned. Two operators used 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.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
