Description

Fruit auxiliary packaging system and its packaging method

The invention relates to an auxiliary packaging system and a packaging method, in particular to a fruit auxiliary packaging system and a packaging method.

Generally, after the fruits are harvested, the fruits are sorted and packed according to the weighing results and quality (such as pineapples). In order to improve the time and labor of traditional manual weighing and sorting, there is an improved weighing and sorting system that allows the fruit to Along the conveyor belt, it will pass through weighing stations spaced apart from each other in sequence. Each weighing station will weigh the passing fruits. When the measured weight meets the standard of the weighing station, it will push bucket or push rod. Push the fruit out of the conveyor belt, and if it does not meet, let the fruit pass so that the fruit can be sent to the next weighing station for inspection. Through this weighing and sorting method, a large number of fruits can be quickly sorted by weight, which saves time and manpower.

After the fruits are sorted, they need to be boxed or subpackaged according to demand. However, because the demand for commodities in the market is becoming more and more diversified, it is not simply a matter of boxing fruits of the same magnitude. It is also possible that fruits of different levels must be matched and shipped. As a result, after the aforementioned large number of classifications, operators still need to go to areas of different levels to pick up fruits for packing. This method of operation is bound to As a result, the speed of packing operations decreases. Under the influence of fast sorting but slow packing, it is easy to cause a large number of fruits to be left in the sorting area, causing blockage of the production line and affecting the smoothness of the production line.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fruit auxiliary packaging system that can reduce the burden on the production line.

Therefore, the auxiliary packaging system for fruits of the present invention is used in conjunction with at least one grading device. The auxiliary packaging system includes a database signal-connected to the at least one grading device, at least one marking device signal-connected to the database, and at least one The reading device and a signal are connected to the operation analysis module of the database.

The database is used to establish a number for each detected fruit, and obtain the corresponding grading data from the at least one grading device and store it. The at least one labeling device is used to set a label for each detected fruit. The at least one reading device is used for sensing the marks on the fruits to find the corresponding number and grading data in the database. The calculation analysis module calculates the sorting method of the fruits through the grading data in the database.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a fruit dispensing method that cooperates with the above-mentioned auxiliary dispensing system.

Therefore, the fruit packaging method of the present invention includes a detection step, a marking step, and a reading step. In the detection step, a plurality of fruits are sequentially detected through at least one grading device, the grading data of the at least one grading device is transmitted to the database through wired or wireless communication, and the database is the number of the fruit and The corresponding hierarchical data is filed and stored.

In the marking step, the at least one marking device sequentially sets markings on the detected fruits according to the data in the database. In the reading step, the mark on each fruit is sensed through the at least one reading device, and the calculation analysis module calculates the sub-packaging method through the classification data in the database, and then finds the corresponding in the database The number and grading data of the fruit are used as a basis to classify and pack the fruit.

The effect of the present invention is that the fruits do not need to be stored in the sorting area after the marks are set, but can be moved to storage or other temporary storage areas for placement, and there is no need to deliberately sort. The calculation analysis module calculates the packing method according to different loading requirements, and then takes out the fruits one by one, and confirms the classification data with the at least one reading device, and finally divides the fruits into boxes according to the instructions of the calculation analysis module. It can be used with automatic sorting machines to facilitate the automation of the production line.

Referring to Fig. 1, an embodiment of the auxiliary fruit packaging system of the present invention is used in conjunction with a plurality of grading devices 1. In this embodiment, the fruit is pineapple as an example, but the actual application is not limited to this. The auxiliary subassembly system includes a database 21 capable of signal connection to the grading devices 1, a marking device 22 connected to the database 21 with a plurality of signals, a reading device 23 connected to the database 21 with a plurality of signals, and a signal connected to the The database 21 and the operation analysis module 24 of the reading device 23. In this embodiment, the database 21 and the operation analysis module 24 can be computers with wireless network connection functions, but are not limited to this.

The fruit packaging method of the present invention includes a detection step, a marking step, and a reading step. In this detection step, a plurality of fruits 3 pass through the plurality of grading devices 1 in sequence, and each grading device 1 can obtain a grading data after detecting a fruit 3. In this embodiment, each grading device 1 can be used to measure Measure the weight of the fruits 3, and the grading data is the weighing reading or weight grading. In addition, non-destructive detection methods such as light transmission, ultrasound, sonic, or near infrared can also be used to obtain each fruit 3 The quality grading of is used as the grading data. The aforementioned quality grading can be graded according to the fleshy fruit, the gusheng fruit, and the diseased fruit. It can also be graded according to the sugar acidity, texture, or ripeness, and is not limited to the foregoing. The database 21 can number each fruit 3, and obtain the grading data of the grading device 1 through wired or wireless communication, so as to store the number of the fruit 3 together with the corresponding grading data.

In the labeling step, the labeling devices 22 sequentially set labels 31 on the detected fruits 3 according to the data in the database 21, and the label 31 on each fruit 3 marks the corresponding number and the previous fruit 3 For the measured grading data, it is preferable that the marking devices 22 are respectively arranged downstream of the production line of the grading devices 1. After each fruit 3 passes the detection of a grading device 1, the corresponding marking device 22. Mark 31 is set on the fruit 3 immediately. When multiple fruits 3 pass through multiple grading devices 1 at the same time, since the database 21 can distinguish the grading devices 1, the labeling devices 22 can still assign the correct number and The grading data is marked on the correct fruit 3. The marking method can be printing and attaching labels and stickers that display barcodes, two-dimensional barcodes or RFID, but it is not limited to this. The fruits 3 after the marking 31 is set can be temporarily placed in the classification area as known, but the fruits 3 can also be transferred to a warehouse or other temporary storage areas, and they do not have to be classified and placed.

When sub-packaging is required, the reading step can be performed. In the reading step, the calculation analysis module 24 can calculate the sub-packing method based on the classification data of the database 21 according to the input sub-packing rules. The user can take out the fruits 3 through manual or automatic conveying devices, and sense the marks on each fruit 3 through the reading devices 23, and each reading device 23 can read the marks from the database 21 The corresponding serial number and grading data of the fruits 3 are obtained. In this way, according to the calculation result of the calculation analysis module 24, the grading data of the fruits 3 can be used as a basis for packaging.

It should be particularly noted that when the reading devices 23 are devices with display functions such as mobile phones or tablets, after obtaining the number and grading data of each fruit 3, the calculation and analysis module 24 can directly obtain the corresponding The results of the analysis are displayed on the reading devices 23, which means that the staff holding the reading devices 23 can directly understand which box of the read fruit 3 needs to be packaged, so as to greatly reduce Compare time.

In addition, in addition to manual packaging of the fruits 3, it can also be carried out by automated machinery. In this case, the reading devices 23 can be RFID gateways or other automated readers to quickly read the fruits 3 Through the calculation analysis module 24 to quickly guide the sub-assembly, it is conducive to the automation and intelligence of the entire production line.

To sum up, the present invention can store the fruits 3 in other temporary storage spaces after the marking devices 22 have set the marking 31, so as to achieve the effect of buffering the flow, avoiding the clogging of the production line, and through the calculation analysis The module 24 can quickly calculate the packaging method of the fruits 3, so it can indeed achieve the purpose of the invention.
