further, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
firstly, the fruits fall into a speed reducer one by one, an internal photoelectric switch firstly detects the fruits and sends signals to a PLC; then, after receiving a signal that the fruit passes through an internal photoelectric switch, the PLC turns on an illumination light source in the shell, sends out signal pulses for controlling the exposure of the cameras in all the camera assemblies after time delay, and then each industrial computer receives color images of the surfaces of the fruit collected by the cameras in the connected camera assemblies and turns off the illumination light source in the shell; and then, sequentially opening the line laser generators in the 3 pairs of camera assemblies, projecting laser lines to the surface of the fruit from two opposite directions by each pair of line laser generators, slightly delaying, sending out signal pulses for controlling the exposure of the cameras in each pair of camera assemblies, and then respectively receiving the acquired images of the laser lines on the surface of the fruit, which are connected with the corresponding cameras by each industrial computer.
Further, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1, the fruits fall into an entrance deceleration net one by one, and an entrance photoelectric switch detects the fruits and sends signals to a PLC;
2, the fruits slide out of the outlet of the inlet speed reducing net and enter the upper speed reducing net, after being subjected to multiple speed reduction by the elastic strips in the upper speed reducing net, the fruits slide out of the outlet of the upper speed reducing net, and the internal photoelectric switch detects the fruits and sends signals to the PLC;
step 3, after receiving a signal that the fruit passes through an internal photoelectric switch, the PLC turns on an illumination light source in the shell, and sends out a signal pulse for controlling the exposure of cameras in all the camera assemblies after delaying, and each industrial computer then receives a color image of the surface of the fruit collected by the cameras in the connected camera assemblies and then turns off the illumination light source in the shell;
step 4, opening a line laser generator in the first pair of camera assemblies, projecting laser lines to the surface of the fruit from two opposite directions, slightly delaying, sending out signal pulses for controlling the exposure of two cameras in the first pair of camera assemblies, and then respectively receiving the images of the laser lines on the surface of the fruit, which are acquired by the cameras, by an industrial computer connected with the cameras in the pair of camera assemblies;
step 5, opening a line laser generator in the second pair of camera components, projecting laser lines to the surface of the fruit from two opposite directions, slightly delaying, sending out signal pulses for controlling the exposure of the cameras in the second pair of camera components, and then respectively receiving the images of the laser lines on the surface of the fruit, which are acquired by the two cameras, by an industrial computer connected with the cameras in the two camera components;
step 6, opening a line laser generator in a third pair of camera components, projecting laser lines to the surface of the fruit from two opposite directions, slightly delaying, sending out signal pulses for controlling the exposure of the cameras in the third pair of camera components, and then respectively receiving the images of the laser lines on the surface of the fruit, which are acquired by the two cameras, by an industrial computer connected with the cameras in the two camera components;

further, according to the shot color image of the fruit surface, the fruit shape of the fruit is represented by calculating the longitudinal diameter and the transverse diameter of the fruit, the defect of the fruit surface is detected by adopting a region segmentation method, the size of the fruit can be approximately estimated by the number of pixels forming a fruit pattern, namely the sectional area of the fruit is estimated according to the number of pixels and the area of the pixels, and then the radius of the fruit is estimated according to the sectional area (taking the fruit with the approximately circular section as an example); the shade of the fruit can be represented by the average color (average intensity of R, G, B components) of the pixels that make up the fruit pattern.
For the fruit with the fruit stem and the fruit calyx part which are concave inwards, the method for judging the fruit stem and the fruit calyx part of the fruit according to the laser line projected to the surface of the fruit comprises the following steps:
(1) the laser line is broken when the laser line does not reach the edge of the fruit pattern;
(2) the direction of bending of the laser line changes (the sign of the second derivative changes);

The general control computer carries out comprehensive judgment and calculation according to the following principles:
(1) defects in the central region of the fruit surface pattern detected by each camera (distance from the center is within 0.707 of the estimated fruit radius) can be directly determined; however, the defects detected outside the non-central area are comprehensively judged according to the detection results of the adjacent cameras, if no defect is detected at the corresponding position of the central area of the fruit surface pattern detected by the adjacent cameras, the defect can be temporarily determined as a suspicious defect, and the fruit with the suspicious defect can be finally classified manually.
(2) The fruit size and color were averaged over the results of 6 industrial computer tests.
The beneficial effect of adopting the further technical scheme is that: the fruit quality can be detected in an all-round manner, the structure is simple, and the cost is low.
