Device for cutting the saffron flower, also for liberation and separation of the stigmas

摘要

1. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, characterized by being composed of a feeding device type rotating wheel (1), which individualizes and positions flowers (A) in an area controlled lighting comprising fluorescent tubes (42), wherein a detection (4) is performed by a camera (41); flowers (A) are arranged on a cutting device (2), which is controlled and regulated in height by a control program (6), based on an image analysis (5) establishes and controls the position of cutting (62); by the cutting device (2), there is a separation device by air flow (3), generated by the turbine (31) where the stigmas (B) are separated. 2. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, according to claim, characterized in that incorporates an auxiliary conveyor (11), where flowers (A) are deposited, said conveyor provided frustoconical accommodation interleaved by passing through the pulleys (13) deposited flowers (a) on the main conveyor (12), which transports the flowers (a) one by one, by the part of the peduncle automatically. 3. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, according to claim, wherein the image analysis (5), is performed by a software (51), based on the results of detection (4), realized through the chamber (41); the image is binarized using a software (51) based on a threshold value; the cutting position (62) is set at a point offset from the lowest point obtained. 4. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, according to claim, characterized by incorporating a control program (6) acting on the positioning element (7) of the device cutting (21) by the motor (71), which moves and positions a positioner (72), linear or angular, in the appropriate place for cutting; the control program (6) runs on a computer (61) which has a data acquisition card to send the reference voltage to the motor (71). 5. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, according to claim fourth, wherein the cutting device (21) can operate continuously or intermittently, in addition to using different mechanical or non-mechanical as elements; scissors, discs, water jet, laser beam, etc. 6. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, according to claim, characterized by incorporating a separation device by air flow (3), which is generated by the turbine (31 ), and directed by the nozzle (32), which produces the separation of the stigmas (B) of the petals (C) and stamens; the outlet of the nozzle (32), so the stigmas (B) are deposited by gravity into the reservoir (33), while the petals (C), with or without attached stamens, are deposited in the product tank (34). 7. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, according the third claim, characterized in that both the illumination and image contrast flower (A), as the binarized threshold, and the value of weathering and offset point cutting line for cutting position (62), they are adjustable to adapt to environmental conditions and specific flower. 8. Device for cutting the saffron flower, and for the release and separation of stigmata, according to claim Second, characterized porquela main conveyor belt (12) comprises two toothed belts, guided and driven by four pulleys (13) two gears (14) and a motor (15).
