Today’s Patent – Preserved Fruit Sorting

The said invention (WO2023133863A1) was invented by Li Qian Zhang Yongli, patented by USPTO on 15-01-2022. Currently, it stands assigned to Li Qian Guangzhou Technology and Business University.

Preserved fruit products such as preserved plums, dried mangoes, and preserved apricots require quality inspection to identify defective products during production.

Traditional inspection devices rely heavily on manual intervention for removing defective products, leading to low automation, reduced work efficiency, increased labor intensity, and limited functionality. These limitations create a need for innovative solutions to enhance the efficiency and automation of the quality inspection process.

The invention introduces an integrated device for quality detection of preserved fruit products, significantly increasing automation and functionality. The device automatically sorts defective products using a vibrating screen mechanism driven by a cam and motor assembly, reducing manual effort and enhancing sorting efficiency. It also includes features like quantitative discharge, real-time weight monitoring with pressure sensors, and a grooved tube for guided product flow, ensuring precise and efficient operations. This comprehensive system not only improves work efficiency but also reduces labor intensity while offering versatile functionality for the inspection process.
