Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kelp knotting machines, and specifically to a kelp knotting machine with a simple structure, convenient use, safety, good knotting effect, and high knotting efficiency. Background Art

[0002] As is well known, kelp is a vegetable with high nutritional value and is widely cultivated along the northern coast of China and the coasts of Zhejiang and Fujian. During the processing of kelp, knotting is an important step. Kelp usually needs to be knotted before being sold all over the world. Therefore, the knotting of kelp is of great significance to the development of the seafood industry economy.

[0003] Currently, in the prior art, kelp knotting mainly relies on manual operation, which not only has low knotting efficiency but also unstable knotting quality. At the same time, because kelp is in a humid and saline-alkali environment, manual knotting of kelp will corrode and damage the workers' bodies. Prolonged work will cause the workers' fingers to be corroded, resulting in deformation, nail shedding, etc. In addition, in the prior art, there have also been some devices that can automatically knot kelp. Some clamping and inserting mechanical grippers in the devices are likely to cause damage or even destruction to kelp, affecting the quality of kelp products. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a kelp knotting machine with a simple structure, convenient use, safety, good knotting effect, and high knotting efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] A kelp knotting machine is provided with a frame. It is characterized in that the frame is provided with a kelp fixing component and a kelp rotating and knotting component. The kelp fixing component is composed of a driving shaft, a driving motor, kelp clamps, and a support frame. The driving shaft is arranged on the frame, and one end of the driving shaft passes through the frame through a bearing and is connected to the driving motor. A support frame is arranged on the driving shaft, and the support frame is sleeved on the driving shaft and rotates synchronously with the driving shaft. Along the axial direction of the driving shaft on the support frame, one or two groups of kelp clamp groups are arranged. Each group of kelp clamp groups is composed of two kelp clamps. The kelp clamp is composed of a clamping head, a connecting part, and a supporting part. The clamping head faces outward, the clamping head is connected to the connecting part through the supporting part, and the connecting part is connected to the support frame. In one or two kelp clamps in each group of kelp clamp groups, there is a linkage component for reducing the distance between the clamping heads of the two kelp clamps. The linkage component reduces the distance between the kelp clamps, thereby making the kelp strip arc-shaped. A kelp rotating and knotting component is arranged on the frame. The kelp rotating and knotting component is composed of a rotating cylinder, a rotating rod, a winding sleeve, a telescopic cylinder, and a finger cylinder. The rotating cylinder is arranged above the frame. The output shaft of the rotating cylinder is connected to the rotating rod. The upper end of the rotating rod is connected to the output shaft of the rotating cylinder, and the lower end of the rotating rod is connected to the winding sleeve. The winding sleeve is arranged at the position between the two kelp clamps and rotates the kelp strip sleeved on the upper part. A telescopic cylinder is arranged on the side of the frame. The cylinder seat of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the frame, and the output shaft of the frame is connected to the finger cylinder. The finger cylinder extends into the winding sleeve and clamps and pulls one of the rotated kelp strips to complete the knotting process.

[0007] A kelp cutting component is arranged between the two groups of kelp clamp groups of the present invention. The kelp cutting component is composed of a bracket and a cutting knife. The cutting knife is connected to the frame through the bracket, and the cutting knife cuts the kelp strip between adjacent kelp clamp groups.

[0008] The rotation angle of the rotating cylinder of the present invention is 270 degrees, which is convenient for the telescopic cylinder and the finger cylinder on the side to extend into the winding sleeve for clamping.

[0009] The winding sleeve of the present invention is set as a sleeve body with an open lower end, which is convenient for the kelp strip to pass through during the pulling process of the finger cylinder.

[0010] A downward moving cylinder is arranged on the rotating cylinder of the present invention. The output shaft of the downward moving cylinder is connected to the rotating cylinder. The rotated winding sleeve is moved downward through the downward moving cylinder, so that the kelp strip is located at the side opening, which is convenient for the finger cylinder to clamp.

[0011] The linkage component described in the present invention is composed of a boss, a chuck swing ejector rod, and a tension spring. The boss is arranged on the frame. One end of the chuck swing ejector rod is in contact with the boss, and the other end of the boss is hinged to the support part of the kelp clip. The lower end of the connecting part of the kelp is connected to the tension spring, and the tension spring is connected to the frame. The tension spring and the boss are arranged on the frame on both sides of the kelp clip. By rotating the kelp clip, the chuck swing ejector rod on the kelp clip rotates to the position of the boss, and then the chuck swing ejector rod moves to bring the chuck closer to the kelp clip on the other side. After knotting, the kelp clip is reset by the action of the tension spring.

[0012] In each group of kelp clip sets described in the present invention, the clamping forces of the two kelp clips are different. The clamping force of the kelp clip on the side where the finger cylinder picks up is less than that of the other kelp clip.

[0013] On the frame below the winding sleeve in the kelp rotation knotting component described in the present invention, there is a discharge tray connected to the frame. The kelp knot after knotting is output through the discharge tray.

[0014] On the circumference of the support frame described in the present invention, at least four groups of kelp clip sets are provided to increase the knotting efficiency.

[0015] The present invention is composed of a kelp fixing component and a kelp rotation knotting component arranged on the frame. The kelp fixing component is composed of a drive shaft, a drive motor, a kelp clip, and a support frame. Along the axis direction of the drive shaft on the support frame, there is one or two groups of kelp clip sets. Each group of kelp clip sets is composed of two kelp clips. The kelp clip is composed of a chuck, a connecting part, and a support part. In one or both of the kelp clips in each group of kelp clip sets, there is a linkage component that reduces the distance between the chucks of the two kelp clips. The linkage component reduces the distance between the kelp clips and makes the kelp strip arc-shaped. On the frame, there is a kelp rotation knotting component. The kelp rotation knotting component is composed of a rotary cylinder, a rotary rod, a winding sleeve, a telescopic cylinder, and a finger cylinder. The finger cylinder extends into the winding sleeve and clamps and pulls one of the rotated kelp strips to complete the knotting process. There is a kelp cutting component between the two groups of kelp clip sets. The kelp cutting component is composed of a bracket and a cutting knife. The cutting knife is connected to the frame through the bracket. The cutting knife cuts the kelp strip between adjacent groups of kelp clip sets, and has the advantages of simple structure, convenient use, safety, good knotting effect, and high knotting efficiency.

[0019] As shown in the attached drawings, a kelp knotting machine is provided with a frame 1. It is characterized in that the frame 1 is composed of a kelp fixing component and a kelp rotating and knotting component. The kelp fixing component consists of a driving shaft 2, a driving motor 3, kelp clamps 4, and a support frame 5. The driving shaft 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and one end of the driving shaft 2 passes through the frame 1 via a bearing and is connected to the driving motor 3. A support frame 5 is arranged on the driving shaft 2, and the support frame 5 is sleeved on the driving shaft 2 and rotates synchronously with the driving shaft 2. Along the axial direction of the driving shaft 2 on the support frame 5, one or two groups of kelp clamp sets are provided. Each group of kelp clamp sets consists of two kelp clamps 4. The kelp clamp 4 is composed of a clamping head 6, a connecting part 7, and a supporting part 8. The clamping head 6 faces outward, and the clamping head 6 is connected to the connecting part 7 via the supporting part 8. The connecting part 7 is connected to the support frame 5. In one or two kelp clamps 4 in each group of kelp clamp sets, a linkage component is provided to reduce the distance between the clamping heads 6 of the two kelp clamps 4. The linkage component reduces the distance between the kelp clamps 4, thereby making the kelp strip arc-shaped. A kelp rotating and knotting component is arranged on the frame 1. The kelp rotating and knotting component consists of a rotating cylinder 9, a rotating rod 10, a winding sleeve 11, a telescopic cylinder 12, and a finger cylinder 13. The rotating cylinder 9 is arranged above the frame 1. The output shaft of the rotating cylinder 9 is connected to the rotating rod 10. The upper end of the rotating rod 10 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating cylinder 9, and the lower end of the rotating rod 10 is connected to the winding sleeve 11. The winding sleeve 11 is arranged at the position between the two kelp clamps 4 and rotates the kelp strip sleeved on the upper part. A telescopic cylinder 12 is arranged on the side of the frame 1. The cylinder seat of the telescopic cylinder 12 is connected to the frame 1, and the output shaft of the frame 1 is connected to the finger cylinder 13. The finger cylinder 13 extends into the winding sleeve 11 and clamps and pulls one of the rotated kelp strips to complete the knotting process. A kelp cutting component is arranged between the two groups of kelp clamps 4. The kelp cutting component consists of a bracket and a cutting knife 14. The cutting knife 14 is connected to the frame 1 via the bracket, and the cutting knife 14 cuts the kelp strip between adjacent groups of kelp clamps 4. The rotation angle of the rotating cylinder 9 is 270 degrees, which is convenient for the telescopic cylinder 12 and the finger cylinder 13 on the side to extend into the winding sleeve 11 for clamping. The winding sleeve 11 is a sleeve body with an open lower end, which is convenient for the kelp strip to pass through during the pulling process by the finger cylinder 13. A downward movement cylinder is arranged on the rotating cylinder 9. The output shaft of the downward movement cylinder is connected to the rotating cylinder 9. The rotated winding sleeve 11 is moved downward by the downward movement cylinder, so that the kelp strip is located at the side opening, which is convenient for the finger cylinder 13 to clamp. The linkage component consists of a convex platform 15, a clamping head swing top rod 16, and a tension spring 17. The convex platform 15 is arranged on the frame 1. One end of the clamping head swing top rod 16 is in contact with the convex platform 15, and the other end of the convex platform 15 is hinged to the supporting part 8 of the kelp clamp 4. The lower end of the connecting part 7 of the kelp is connected to the tension spring 17, and the tension spring 17 is connected to the frame 1.The tension spring 17 and the boss 15 are arranged on the frame 1 on both sides of the kelp clamp 4. By rotating the kelp clamp 4, the chuck swing ejector rod 16 on the kelp clamp 4 rotates to the position of the boss 15, and then the chuck swing ejector rod 16 moves to bring the chuck 6 closer to the kelp clamp 4 on the other side. After knotting, the kelp clamp 4 is reset by the action of the tension spring 17. The clamping forces of the two kelp clamps 4 in each group of kelp clamps 4 are different. The clamping force of the kelp clamp 4 on the side where the finger cylinder 13 grabs is less than the clamping force of the other kelp clamp 4. On the frame 1 below the winding sleeve 11 in the kelp rotation knotting assembly, there is a discharge tray 18. The discharge tray 18 is connected to the frame 1. The kelp knot after knotting is output through the discharge tray 18. At least four groups of kelp clamp groups are arranged on the circumference of the support frame to increase the knotting efficiency.

[0020] When the present invention is in use, the kelp strips are placed on the kelp clamp 4, the driving motor 3 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and then the support frame 5 drives the kelp clamp 4 to rotate. When it rotates to the position of the cutting assembly, the cutting knife 14 cuts the kelp strips. After the cutting is completed, the rotating shaft continues to rotate. During the rotation process, due to the action of the linkage assembly, one of the kelp clamps 4 moves towards the position of the other kelp clamp 4 on the other side, so that the kelp strips between the two kelp clamps 4 approach each other and form an arc. When it rotates to the position of the kelp rotating and knotting assembly, the rotation stops. At this time, the arc-shaped kelp strips fall on the winding sleeve 11. Then the rotating cylinder 9 is started to drive the rotating sleeve to rotate 270 degrees, so that the opening of the rotating sleeve faces the side. Then the downward moving cylinder is driven, and the downward moving cylinder moves the winding sleeve 11 downward, so that the kelp strips on the side of the winding sleeve 11 are at the through hole of the winding sleeve 11 (or at the rotating part of the rotating cylinder 9, so that the kelp clamp 4 drives one end of the kelp to move upward to the through hole of the winding sleeve 11). Then the telescopic cylinder 12 and the finger cylinder 13 are started. The telescopic cylinder 12 drives the finger cylinder 13 to pass through the winding sleeve 11 to clamp one end of the kelp strip, and then the telescopic cylinder 12 drives the finger cylinder 13 to pull back, so as to pull out the winding sleeve 11 and complete the knotting process by pulling again. After the knotting is completed, the finger cylinder 13 releases the knotted kelp strip to the discharging place. Since the present invention is composed of a kelp fixing assembly and a kelp rotating and knotting assembly on the frame 1, the kelp fixing assembly is composed of a driving shaft 2, a driving motor 3, a kelp clamp 4, and a support frame 5. Along the axis direction of the driving shaft 2 on the support frame 5, one group or two groups of kelp clamp groups are provided. Each group of kelp clamp groups is composed of two kelp clamps 4. The kelp clamp 4 is composed of a clamping head 6, a connecting part 7, and a supporting part 8. In one or two of the kelp clamps 4 in each group of kelp clamp groups, a linkage assembly is provided to reduce the distance between the clamping heads 6 of the two kelp clamps 4. The linkage assembly reduces the distance between the kelp clamps 4, so that the kelp strips form an arc. On the frame 1, a kelp rotating and knotting assembly is provided. The kelp rotating and knotting assembly is composed of a rotating cylinder 9, a rotating rod 10, a winding sleeve 11, a telescopic cylinder 12, and a finger cylinder 13. The finger cylinder 13 extends into the winding sleeve 11 and clamps and pulls one of the rotated kelp strips to complete the knotting process. A kelp cutting assembly is provided between the two groups of kelp clamp groups. The kelp cutting assembly is composed of a bracket and a cutting knife 14. The cutting knife 14 is connected to the frame 1 through the bracket, and the cutting knife 14 cuts the kelp strips between adjacent groups of kelp clamps 4. It has the advantages of simple structure, convenient use, safety, good knotting effect, high knotting efficiency, etc.
