Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fishing, and more particularly to a live fish weighing and turning device for use in fishing grounds. Background Technology

[0002] As people's pace of life accelerates, they have less and less time to relax, and fewer and fewer opportunities to relax. Fishing is a suitable place to relax after a fast-paced life.

[0003] The purpose of fishing is no longer just to catch fish for food. As anglers improve their skills, they catch more and more fish in the fishing area. It is not realistic to take all the fish home. Collecting the fish caught is an important way to recycle fish in the fishing area and also solves the problem of fish disposal for anglers.

[0004] After weighing live fish, they need to be released back into the fishing area. Current technology uses a tilting structure for this purpose, where a motor reciprocates to tilt the pan left and right, emptying the fish into the fishing area. While this traditional method also allows live fish to be returned to the fishing area after weighing, it has the following drawbacks: Traditional weighing relies on sensor deformation, and the pan's tilting is achieved through the reciprocating motion of a motor and gears. After the live fish are poured into the fishing area, the pan needs to return to its original position. Because the motor drives the gears and racks, the entire reset process takes 6-7 seconds. This long reset time is unacceptable for competitive fishing, where anglers can catch a fish in just 3-4 seconds. Furthermore, even for everyday use, it's better for the fish's survival to return to the fishing area as quickly as possible. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a live fish weighing and flipping device for fishing grounds includes: a flipping mechanism and a weighing sensing component 701; the flipping mechanism includes a weighing support fixed component 501 and a weighing support movable component 601, the weighing sensing component 701 is used to detect the weight change of the weighing support fixed component 501 connected thereto; the weighing support fixed component 501 forms a weighing cavity 504, the weighing cavity 504 has an upper opening 505 and a lower opening 506, the weighing support movable component 601 can rotate based on the weighing support fixed component to open or close the lower opening 506 of the weighing cavity. A YZC-1B weighing sensor is used as an example in this application.

[0038] Specifically, the flipping mechanism is equipped with a power component. For example, an electromagnet is used as the power component 702. The weighing support movable component 601 is made of stainless steel. In order to ensure that the weighing support movable component 601 can be controlled by the power component 702, a magnet or iron block is arranged at the corresponding position of the weighing support movable component 601 as a magnetic block 704.

[0039] To provide a buffering effect as the fish enters the bottom of the weighing chamber 504, and to ensure the weighing support movable component 601 automatically opens after the electromagnet is de-energized following weighing, the weighing support fixed component 501 has a fixed inclined portion 502 and a fixed straight portion 503. Correspondingly, the weighing support movable component has a movable inclined portion 602 and a movable straight portion 603. The weighing chamber lower opening 506 is disposed on one side of the fixed straight portion 503 of the weighing chamber 504. The fixed inclined portion 502 is provided with a power component, which is used to keep the movable inclined portion 602 close to the fixed inclined portion 502, so that the weighing chamber lower opening 506 remains closed. In this application, to detect whether the movable inclined portion 602 is within a preset range of the fixed inclined portion 502 to determine whether the weighing chamber lower opening 506 is closed, a position sensor 705 is disposed on the power component mounting bracket 703. For example, the position sensor 705 uses a limit switch.

[0040] To facilitate the installation of the power component 702, a power component 702 connecting plate 604 is provided on the fixed inclined portion 502. The power component 702 connecting plate 604 closes the bottom part of the weighing cavity 504 to form the lower opening 506 of the weighing cavity. The power assembly includes a power component mounting bracket 703 and a power component 702. One side of the power component mounting bracket 703 is connected to the weighing sensing component 701, and the other side of the power component mounting bracket 703 is connected to the power component 702 connecting plate 604 and has the power component 702 disposed thereon. The power component 702 is used to keep the weighing support movable component 601 in its current position and / or to rotate it in a preset direction so that the movable inclined portion 602 is close to and held on the fixed inclined portion 502.

[0041] Specifically, a pivot is provided between the preset position of the weighing support movable component 601 and the weighing support fixed component 501. The weighing support movable component 601 rotates in a preset direction under gravity, causing the movable inclined portion 602 to approach the fixed inclined portion 502. Based on this pivotal position, when the electromagnet is de-energized, if there is a fish to be weighed in its movable straight portion 603, the weight of the fish will drive the weighing support movable component 601 to rotate, causing the lower opening 506 of the weighing chamber to open, allowing the fish to be weighed to leave the weighing chamber. The weighing chamber 504 is used for weighing fish. When the fish to be weighed leaves the weighing chamber 504, the weighing support movable component 601 will rotate in a preset direction because its center of gravity is close to the movable tilting part 602. This will cause the movable tilting part 602 to come close to the fixed tilting part 502. At this time, the electromagnet remains energized, which can keep the weighing support movable component 601 in its current position to close the lower opening 506 of the weighing chamber. This allows the weighing support movable component 601 to automatically reset after weighing. At this time, the magnetic block 704 also acts as a counterweight.

[0042] In another embodiment, the power component 702 may be configured as a cylinder, with the piston rod of the cylinder connected to the weighing support movable component 601 to drive the weighing support movable component 601 to rotate in a preset manner based on the weighing support fixed component 501.

[0043] Since the fish to be weighed is a live animal, a fish-catching box is provided above the upper opening 505 of the weighing chamber. The fish-catching box includes: a buffer box 100; the buffer box 100 has an upper opening 101 and a lower opening 102 facing each other, and a buffer cavity 103 connecting the upper opening 101 and the lower opening 102; a buffer plate is provided inside the buffer cavity 103, and the buffer plate and the extending direction of the buffer cavity 103 are inclined at a preset angle.

[0044] Furthermore, the buffer plate includes a first buffer plate 201; the buffer box 100 has a front sidewall 106 facing the user and a rear sidewall 107 opposite to the front sidewall 106; the first buffer plate 201 is inclined toward the lower opening 102 of the buffer box, one side of the first buffer plate 201 is connected to the front sidewall 106 of the buffer box, and the other side of the first buffer plate 201 forms a first buffer outlet 104 between itself and the rear sidewall 107 of the buffer box; the first buffer outlet 104 corresponds to the position of the fixed inclined part 502.

[0045] Based on the above structure, the fish to be weighed enters the flipping mechanism through the buffer cavity 103 provided in the fish box, so as to reduce the impact of the fish directly impacting the flipping mechanism on the weighing and prevent the fish from being injured by the impact; furthermore, because a buffer plate is provided to block the fish that slides into the weighing chamber 504, it can prevent the fish from jumping up and make the fish calm down as soon as possible for weighing.

[0046] To facilitate the connection of the rear side wall 107 of the buffer box to the buffer box bracket 300, the buffer box bracket 300 is used to position the buffer box 100 in a preset position.

[0047] Specifically, the buffer box bracket 300 is provided with a vertical connection part 301 and a horizontal support part 302; the rear side wall 107 of the buffer box is installed on the vertical connection part 301, and the horizontal support part 302 is located below the lower opening 102 of the buffer box. The horizontal support part 302 is used to configure the weighing component 401.

[0048] The weighing component 401 includes a weighing pan 402, which is located below the buffer plate. Furthermore, to facilitate user observation of the weighing results, a weighing display component 403 is positioned on the user-facing side of the horizontal support portion 302 of the frame.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] refer to Figures 8 to 10 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, to further enhance the buffering effect, the buffer plate also includes a second buffer plate 202. The second buffer plate 202 is inclined towards the side of the lower opening 102 of the buffer box. One side of the second buffer plate 202 is connected to the rear side wall 107 of the buffer box, and the other side of the second buffer plate 202 forms a second buffer outlet 105 between itself and the front side wall 106 of the buffer box. The projection of the second buffer outlet 105 in the extending direction of the buffer cavity 103 falls into the projection of the first buffer plate 201 in that direction. The projection of the first buffer outlet 104 in the extending direction of the buffer cavity 103 falls into the projection of the second buffer plate 202 in that direction. The purpose of setting the second buffer plate 202 in the above position and structure is to prevent the fish to be weighed from falling directly into the weighing device through the first buffer outlet 104 without being buffered by the first buffer plate 201. Furthermore, since the fish to be weighed passes through the first buffer plate 201 and the second buffer plate 202, the impact on the weighing device can be further reduced, and the probability of the fish being injured by impact can be further reduced.

[0051] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "one example," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0052] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make several simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the concept of this application.
