Abstract

LA APLICACION DE CERA A LA FRUTA PUEDE ESTAR CONTROLADA POR GRUPOS DE UNIDADES FRUTA EN UN SISTEMA DE UN TRANSPORTADOR (14) PARA OPTIMIZAR LOS EFECTOS COSMETICOS Y PROTECTORES DE LA APLICACION DE CERA Y UTILIZAR EFICIENTEMENTE LAS VARIACIONES NO FIJAS DE CERA EN TAMAÑO, TEXTURA, NATURALEZA O NUMERO DE UNIDADES DE FRUTA, EL TIPO O LOS TIPOS DE CERA O EL AMBIENTE DE PROCESAMIENTO, POR MEDIO DE PROPORCIONAR UN CONTROLADOR DE CERA INTELIGENTE. EL CONTROLADOR DE CERA TIENE UNA CAMARA (12) QUE DETECTA LA FRUTA (112) QUE PASA A TRAVES DE UN CAMPO DE VISION DEFINIDO POR UNA ESTRUCTURA OPTICA EN LA QUE SE INSTALA LA CAMARA. EN CONCRETO, SI LA CAMARA ES UN CAMARA DE EXPLORACION EN LINEA, LOS MAPAS DE PIXELS DE DOS DIMENSIONES DE LA FRUTA QUE A PASA A TRAVES DEL AREA DE VISION SON MONTADOS Y LA IMAGEN ES PROCESADA PARA PROPORCIONAR UNAS IMAGENES CON PIXELS DISTINTOS INCLUSO CUANDO LAS FRUTAS SE ESTAN TOCANDO. SE DETECTA EL ANCHO TOTAL DE LA CINTA TRANSPORTADORA DURANTE CADA TIEMPO DE DETECCION. DESPUES, SE DETERMINA EL DIAMETRO DE LA FRUTA POR CADA IMAGEN SEPARADA, A PARTIR DE LAS QUE SE CALCULA EL AREA DE LA SUPERFICIE TOTAL DE LA FRUTA QUE PASA BAJO EL AREA DE VISION. TOMADO COMO BASE ESTE CALCULO, UNA PLURALIDAD DE BOMBAS DE GOLPE VARIABLE Y UNAS BOQUILLAS DE CERA SE CONTROLAN CADA UNA DE MANERA INDIVIDUAL EN LAS POSICIONES APROPIADAS A TRAVES DEL ANCHO DEL SISTEMA DEL TRANSPORTADOR PARA APLICAR LA CANTIDAD APROPIADA DE CERA A LA FRUTA QUE PASA, EN ESTE MOMENTO, BAJO LAS BOQUILLAS APLICADORAS DE CERA.
