At the same time, with the growing market demand and industrial demand, fish sorting technology is also constantly improving and improving.
[0003] Although fish sorting technology has made certain progress, most fish sorting devices on the market still have some limitations. They mainly rely on simple physical characteristics, such as size, shape and weight, for sorting. However, these methods are often powerless when dealing with fish with similar appearances. They can often only sort fish of different weights for a single species, and lack the ability to effectively sort multiple different fish. In addition, existing fish sorting devices often cannot fully meet the high standards required by the market and industry in terms of sorting effects. This, to a certain extent, limits the widespread application and further development of fish sorting technology. Therefore, in order to meet the higher requirements of the market and industry for fish sorting technology, there is an urgent need to develop more advanced and efficient fish sorting devices.

At the same time, OpenCV Recognizer 7 can also continuously optimize its sorting algorithm through real-time feedback and self-learning mechanism, thereby further improving sorting efficiency and accuracy. The mutual cooperation between OpenCV Recognizer 7 and the automatic sorting machine can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce labor costs and reduce human errors.
[0022] Among them, the right end of the front conveying mechanism 1 is fixedly installed with a first conveying mechanism 8, and the right end of the first conveying mechanism 8 is fixedly installed with a second conveying mechanism 9; when the first conveying mechanism 8 is started, the fish from the front conveying mechanism 1 will be conveyed, and when the second conveying mechanism 9 is started, the fish from the first conveying mechanism 8 will be conveyed. The heights of the first conveying mechanism 8 and the second conveying mechanism 9 can be adjusted to ensure that the rotating rollers inside the front conveying mechanism 1, the first conveying mechanism 8 and the second conveying mechanism 9 are all in the same horizontal plane, ensuring that the fish will not be stuck in transportation.
[0023] Among them, a connecting conveying mechanism 10 is fixedly installed on the right end of the second conveying mechanism 9, and a rear conveying mechanism 11 is fixedly installed on the other end of the connecting conveying mechanism 10; due to the existence of the connecting conveying mechanism 10, the second conveying mechanism 9 and the rear conveying mechanism 11 will be connected, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the entire fish sorting production line and improving the flexibility of the installation of the fish sorting production line. At the same time, the height of the connecting conveying mechanism 10 and the rear conveying mechanism 11 can be adjusted, so that the rotating rollers inside the connecting conveying mechanism 10 and the rear conveying mechanism 11 can be maintained on the same horizontal plane as the rotating rollers inside the second conveying mechanism 9.
[0024] Among them, a first stand 12 is fixedly installed on the left side of the front end of the second conveying mechanism 9, and a second stand 14 is fixedly installed on the right side of the front end of the second conveying mechanism 9; the first stand 12 and the second stand 14 mainly play a supporting role and the first stand 12 and the second stand 14 have the same shape and size. At the same time, the height of the first stand 12 and the second stand 14 can be freely adjusted, so that the top of the first stand 12 and the second stand 14 can be flush with the top of the rotating roller inside the second conveying mechanism 9, so that the first stand 12 and the second stand 14 will not cause obstruction during fish sorting.
[0025] Among them, a first branch conveying mechanism 13 located behind the first platform 12 is fixedly installed on the left side of the rear end of the second conveying mechanism 9, and a second branch conveying mechanism 15 located behind the second platform 14 is fixedly installed on the right side of the rear end of the second conveying mechanism 9; when the first branch conveying mechanism 13 and the second branch conveying mechanism 15 are started, the sorted fish will be conveyed, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the fish. At the same time, the height of the first branch conveying mechanism 13 and the second branch conveying mechanism 15 can be adjusted according to the height of the second conveying mechanism 9, so as to ensure that different types of fish will not fall or get stuck when entering the first branch conveying mechanism 13 and the second branch conveying mechanism 15 for transportation.
[0026] Among them, a fixing block 16 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the middle part of the top of the first platform 12 and the second platform 14, and a pneumatic cylinder 17 is fixedly sleeved inside the fixing block 16; the number of the fixing block 16 and the pneumatic cylinder 17 are both two, and the model parameters of the two pneumatic cylinders 17 are the same. The existence of the fixing block 16 will provide a stable support for the pneumatic cylinder 17, thereby ensuring the stability of the pneumatic cylinder 17 during work, so that the pneumatic cylinder 17 will not fall off or loosen.
[0027] Among them, a sorting block 18 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the pneumatic cylinder 17, and there are two sorting blocks 18. The bottom ends of the two sorting blocks 18 are movably connected to the top ends of the first platform 12 and the second platform 14 respectively. Limiting columns 19 are fixedly installed inside the left and right ends of the fixed block 16 respectively, and the rear end of the limiting column 19 is fixedly connected to the front end of the sorting block 18; when the pneumatic cylinder 17 is started, the sorting block 18 will move toward the second conveying mechanism 9, thereby pushing the fish on the rotating roller inside the second conveying mechanism 9, and then pushing different types of fish into the first branch conveying mechanism 13 or the second branch conveying mechanism 15 to complete the sorting of the fish. The existence of the limiting column 19 will limit the sorting block 18 when the sorting block 18 moves.
[0028] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0029] First, start the front conveying mechanism 1, the first conveying mechanism 8, the second conveying mechanism 9, the connecting conveying mechanism 10, the rear conveying mechanism 11, the first branch conveying mechanism 13 and the second branch conveying mechanism 15 in sequence, and then place the fish on the rotating roller inside the front conveying mechanism 1 for conveying. When the fish pass through the OpenCV identifier 7, the OpenCV identifier 7 will visually identify the fish, and then sort the different types of fish through the cooperation of the pneumatic cylinder 17 and the sorting block 18, so that different types of fish pass through the first branch conveying mechanism 13, the second branch conveying mechanism 15 and the rear conveying mechanism respectively. 11 output, thereby completing the fish sorting work, and the introduction of visual recognition technology through OpenCV recognizer 7 enables the automatic sorting machine to use image processing and pattern recognition algorithms to perform detailed analysis of the appearance characteristics of fish. In addition, the maturity and health status of fish can be identified through OpenCV recognizer 7, thereby improving the sorting accuracy of the automatic sorting machine and providing more reliable data support for subsequent processing and packaging. At the same time, OpenCV recognizer 7 can also continuously optimize its sorting algorithm through real-time feedback and self-learning mechanism, thereby further improving sorting efficiency and accuracy, reducing labor costs, and reducing human errors.
