Abstract
1389211 Inspecting fruit on a conveyer D K ALEXANDER 15 Feb 1972 [16 Feb 1971] 4716/71 Heading B8A Fruit 1 on an endless conveyer (seen in diagrammatic cross-section in Fig. 2) is inspected by viewing the passage of its image on a screen 4 as the fruit is rotated. The results may be entered on a keyboard 10. The information is thus passed into a magnetic tape 6 via a recording head 7. A reading head 8 controls subsequent routeing of the fruit. Separate operators sitting along the conveyer may be used to view respective lanes of fruit. Alternatively there may be an additional mirror 2<SP>1</SP> (Fig. 3, not shown) so that two lanes may be viewed simultaneously. The viewing screen 4 may be formed with grid lines to enable specific areas of the fruit to be identified. The screen 4 may be mounted so as to move along a limited distance at the speed of the conveyer (Fig. 4, not shown). There may be a scanner which responds to colour &c. of the fruit in a series of lanes of the conveyer (Fig. 5, not shown), and passes information to devices which cause a redistribution of the fruit in different lanes. A weigher may cause further selection. The keyboard may be mounted on a conveyer (kc) (Fig. 6, not shown) which is mounted adjacent the main conveyer. The keys may operate reed switches or Hall effect devices and may be connected to a memory. The conveyer may be of the kind described in Specification 1,176,396. The fruit may engage rods 96 thereby causing scanning deflection of mirrors 92.
