Like this, goods letter sorting system has automatic classification and automatic sorting's function to can promote the efficiency of classifying and letter sorting, reduce artifical judgement error, guarantee the quality of classifying and letter sorting, can also reduce the recruitment cost.
Optionally, the grading device includes a visual detection part 20, and the visual detection part 20 is used for collecting image information of the goods to be sorted, so as to judge the appearance quality grade of the goods to be sorted according to the image information. In this way, the visual inspection portion 20 can be utilized to realize automatic classification of the appearance quality level of the article to be sorted.
Alternatively, whether the appearance of the article to be sorted is damaged or not may be determined by using the image information, and whether the appearance of the article to be sorted is beautiful or not may be determined by using the image information, so that the appearance quality level specifically includes several levels and a determination criterion for each level is set in advance.
Optionally, the grading device includes a spectrum detecting portion 30, and the spectrum detecting portion 30 is configured to collect near infrared spectrum information of the article to be sorted, so as to determine an internal quality grade of the article to be sorted according to the near infrared spectrum information. In this way, an automatic grading of the internal quality level of the goods to be sorted can be achieved with the spectral detection section 30.
Optionally, the internal quality grade is a maturity grade or a sugar grade.
Alternatively, when the article to be sorted is fruit, the sugar degree level of the fruit may be determined using near infrared spectrum information, and the sugar degree level may be preset to include several levels and a determination criterion for each sugar degree level.
Optionally, the article to be sorted is a strawberry.
In the illustrated embodiment of the present application, the strawberry sugar degree grade is set to two grades, high sugar and low sugar, respectively.
In alternative embodiments of the present application, not shown, the internal quality level may also be set to a greater number of levels.
Optionally, when the article to be sorted is another article, the near infrared spectrum information may also be used to determine other internal quality indexes of the article to be sorted.
Optionally, the grading device includes a weighing portion 40, where the weighing portion 40 is configured to collect weight information of the articles to be sorted, so as to determine a size grade of the articles to be sorted according to the weight information. In this way, automatic grading of the size grade of the goods to be sorted can be achieved with the weighing section 40.
In the illustrated embodiment of the application, the size and the like of the strawberries are divided into three grades, namely a large grade, a medium grade and a small grade, weight thresholds corresponding to the grades can be correspondingly defined, and the weight of the strawberries to be sorted obtained through weighing is compared with the set weight threshold, so that the grade of the strawberries is judged.
Alternatively, when the article to be sorted is another article, the weight threshold and the weight of the size class may be adjusted according to the actual condition of the article.
In the alternative embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 10, the grading device includes the visual detection portion 20, the spectrum detection portion 30 and the weighing portion 40 which are sequentially arranged, so that the layout is more reasonable, the grading efficiency is higher, and the grading effect is better.

Optionally, the first sorting mechanism 50 includes a removal mechanism, a diverting mechanism, or a sorting robot.
When the appearance quality grade comprises two grades of qualified products and unqualified products, the unqualified products can be removed by the removing mechanism, the follow-up grading and sorting processes of the internal quality grade and the size grade are not participated, and the grading and sorting efficiency is improved.
When the appearance quality grades comprise first grade products and second grade products, the first grade products can be shunted to the first area by the shunting mechanism, the second grade products can be shunted to the second area, the first grade products and the second grade products can participate in the grading and sorting processes of the subsequent internal quality grades and the size grades, the appearance of the products is unbroken, attractive, the appearance of the products is unbroken and the products with flaws are graded, the grading and sorting efficiency is improved, and the grading and sorting quality is improved.
The appearance quality grades can also be selected and set with more grades and judging conditions of each grade according to actual conditions.
The corresponding number of preset positions can be set according to the number of the appearance quality grades, and then the goods to be sorted are directly conveyed to the corresponding preset positions by using the sorting manipulator.
When the goods to be sorted are strawberries, in order to avoid damage to the strawberries in the clamping process of the sorting manipulator, the sorting manipulator can be adopted only in the last boxing link, and meanwhile, the two functions of sorting and boxing in a grading manner are achieved.
Optionally, the sorting apparatus includes a second sorting mechanism 60, the second sorting mechanism 60 being disposed downstream of the spectrum detecting portion 30 to sort the articles to be sorted according to an internal quality level of the articles to be sorted or at least one of an internal quality level, an external quality level, and a size level. In this way, automatic sorting of the items to be sorted may be achieved with the second sorting mechanism 60.
Optionally, the second sorting mechanism 60 includes a removal mechanism, a diverting mechanism, or a sorting robot.
