La invención es pues aplicable al ámbito agro-alimentario, concretamente al de selección y clasificación de frutas, entre su recogida y su envasado, para su definitiva comercialización.The invention is therefore applicable to the field agro-food, specifically the selection and classification of fruits, between their collection and packaging, for definitive marketing

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

La recolección de frutas se lleva a cabo de forma indiscriminada, de manera que a término de la misma es preciso efectuar una selección para eliminar aquellas piezas que puedan estar dañadas o que, por cualquier otra causa, no cumplan los requisitos de calidad exigidos.Fruit picking is carried out by indiscriminate way, so that at the end of it is a selection must be made to remove those parts that may be damaged or that, for any other reason, do not comply the quality requirements demanded.

Para llevar a cabo esta selección, una técnica totalmente generalizada consiste en someter al producto a una inspección visual, utilizando una cámara, de manera que con un programa adecuado se detectan aquellos frutos que no cumplen con las premisas establecidas al efecto, eliminándolos de la cadena de transporte de los mismos.To carry out this selection, a technique totally generalized is to subject the product to a visual inspection, using a camera, so that with a Appropriate program detects those fruits that do not meet the premises established for this purpose, eliminating them from the chain of transport of them.

Para conseguir una visión total de la superficie del fruto, o al menos mayoritaria, las máquinas seleccionadoras actuales utilizan sistemas de rulos o conos enfrentados, sometidos simultáneamente a un movimiento de traslación y a un movimiento de rotación, de manera que los frutos a la vez que avanzan bajo la cámara de vídeo giran sobre sí mismos ofreciendo a dicha cámara la totalidad o la mayor parte de su superficie.To get a total view of the surface of the fruit, or at least majority, the sorting machines current use systems of curlers or cones facing, subjected simultaneously to a translation movement and a movement of rotation, so that the fruits while advancing under the video camera rotate on themselves offering said camera the all or most of its surface.

Estos medios de movilización del fruto resultan estructuralmente muy complejos, con un elevado coste y con un alto mantenimiento, lo que evidentemente repercute de forma muy negativa en los costos generales del proceso.These means of mobilization of the fruit result structurally very complex, with a high cost and with a high maintenance, which obviously has a very negative impact in the general costs of the process.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

La máquina seleccionadora que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, al constituir una solución extremadamente simple desde el punto de vista estructural, puesto que los frutos giran sobre sí mismos por efecto de la gravedad, bajo la cámara de vídeo, haciéndose innecesaria cualquiera de las estructuras clásicas para movilización de los mismos.The sorting machine that the invention proposes to solve the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, as it constitutes an extremely solution simple from the structural point of view, since the fruits they turn on themselves due to gravity, under the chamber of video, making any of the structures unnecessary classic for their mobilization.

Para ello y de forma más concreta, la máquina incorpora una cinta transportadora de alimentación en la que se define un sector terminal inclinado, que es precisamente sobre el que se ubica la clásica cámara de vídeo, de manera que los frutos que se mantienen estáticos en sentido angular a lo largo del tramo horizontal de la cinta de alimentación, y ruedan sobre el plano inclinado a la vez que giran sobre sí mismos, con lo que ofrecen a la cámara de vídeo la totalidad o la mayor parte de la superficie.For this and more specifically, the machine incorporates a conveyor belt of feeding in which defines an inclined terminal sector, which is precisely about the that the classic video camera is located, so that the fruits that remain static angularly along the stretch horizontal of the feeding belt, and roll on the plane inclined while turning on themselves, with what they offer to the video camera all or most of the surface.

El citado sector terminal de la cinta puede ser físicamente independiente de esta última, materializándose en una superficie plana y estática por la que ruedan las frutas, o puede estar dotado de acanaladuras longitudinales determinantes de respectivas alineaciones para los frutos, que los canalizan debidamente, para evitar una posible tendencia al desplazamiento lateral.The aforementioned terminal sector of the belt can be physically independent of the latter, materializing in a flat and static surface where fruits roll, or can be equipped with determining longitudinal grooves of respective alignments for the fruits, which channel them properly, to avoid a possible displacement trend side.

Se ha previsto también la posibilidad de que el sector terminal o plano inclinado se materialice a su vez en una cinta transportadora que puede girar indistintamente en el sentido de avance de los frutos o en sentido contrario, para acelerar o frenar el movimiento de rodadura de los mismos. De análoga manera esta cinta transportadora del plano inclinado puede estar dotada de nervaduras longitudinales que, a modo de guías, constituyen también canales de conducción del fruto en el sentido de avance para el mismo, con la misma finalidad anteriormente citada.The possibility that the terminal sector or inclined plane materialize in turn in a conveyor belt that can rotate interchangeably in the direction of advance of the fruits or in the opposite direction, to accelerate or slow down the rolling movement of them. Analogously this conveyor of the inclined plane can be provided with longitudinal ribs that, as guides, also constitute fruit conduction channels in the direction of progress for the same, with the same purpose mentioned above.

En cualquier caso el fruto ofrecerá una máxima superficie a la cámara de vídeo, para obtener información sobre su aspecto, color, forma, etc.In any case the fruit will offer a maximum surface to the camcorder, to get information about your appearance, color, shape, etc.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención se ha previsto que en la zona terminal o inferior del plano inclinado se establezca un cepillo transversal para retención del fruto, que ayuda a controlar más eficientemente la transferencia hacia una cinta transportadora de salida, de la que los frutos defectuosos serán eliminados ante las órdenes recibidas del sistema informático que controla la cámara.According to another of the characteristics of the invention is provided that in the terminal or lower zone of the inclined plane a transverse brush is established for retention of the fruit, which helps to control more efficiently the transfer to an exit conveyor belt, from which Defective fruits will be eliminated before orders received of the computer system that controls the camera.
