Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seafood processing equipment technology, specifically to an adjustable squid feeding position device and a self-adjusting squid feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Squid, a delicious and juicy seafood, is widely loved by consumers. my country ranks first in the world in both squid processing and consumption. However, the domestic squid processing industry largely relies on manual labor, resulting in low automation and poor product consistency, severely hindering the competitiveness of enterprises. With scientific advancements, some automated squid processing equipment has emerged. A search reveals Chinese patent CN116849241A, which discloses a squid clamping mechanism and an automatic feeding device for squid in an unknown state. The squid clamping mechanism is characterized by: a clamping support frame, with a squid tail limiting and fixing component on one side and a squid carcass on the other side. A limiting and fixing component, comprising a squid tail limiting and fixing component and a squid carcass limiting and fixing component respectively connected to a clamping support frame, is used for an automatic feeding device for squid in an unknown state. The device includes a frame and a control system. The frame is equipped with a conveying mechanism, a vision recognition mechanism, and the aforementioned squid clamping mechanism. The conveying mechanism is connected to the frame. Above the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism are the vision recognition mechanism and the squid clamping mechanism. The fixed seat of the squid clamping mechanism is fixedly connected to the frame via a robotic arm. The squid clamping mechanism, robotic arm, vision recognition mechanism, and conveying mechanism are all connected to the control system.

[0003] The shortcomings of the aforementioned patent: When feeding squid, the squid clamping mechanism in the aforementioned patent has a fixed preset stroke, that is, the distance that the squid clamping mechanism moves while holding the squid. However, among the squid fed in the same batch, some squid may be longer and some may be shorter, and their sizes may vary. This results in some squid being placed in the right position after feeding, while others are not, and there is even a risk of them being torn, causing unnecessary losses. Manual readjustment is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and indirectly reduces the squid feeding efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a squid feeding position adjustable device and a squid self-adjusting feeding equipment with an ingenious structure that allows for fast, accurate, and non-damaging squid feeding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] An adjustable squid feeding position device includes a squid clamping mechanism, characterized in that: a squid feeding position adjustment mechanism is provided on one side of the squid clamping mechanism, which can adjust the position of the squid clamping mechanism according to the size of the squid, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the squid feeding position according to the size of the squid and thus the squid being torn.

[0007] The squid feeding position adjustment mechanism of the present invention includes an adjustment frame, a feeding drive mechanism, a connecting frame, a connecting rod, and an adjustment spring. The squid clamping mechanism has an adjustment frame on one side, which is driven by the feeding drive mechanism. A connecting frame is provided between the adjustment frame and the squid clamping mechanism. One end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the gripper drive cylinder of the squid clamping mechanism. The connecting frame has a connecting hole, through which the connecting rod passes and is fixedly connected to the adjustment frame. An adjustment spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, and one end of the adjustment spring is fixedly attached to the outer wall of the connecting rod. One end abuts against the other end, and the other end abuts against the connecting frame. The adjusting frame and the squid clamping mechanism are moved by the feeding drive mechanism. The squid clamping mechanism clamps the squid and places it on the squid carrier. The squid head hangs down from one end of the squid carrier. When the squid is small, the squid head is positioned after hanging down. The squid held by the squid clamping mechanism is resisted by the squid head, so the squid clamping mechanism does not move. The adjusting frame continues to move backward under the drive of the feeding drive mechanism. The connecting rod moves backward with the adjusting frame and squeezes the adjusting spring. The squid clamping mechanism does not move, ensuring that the squid is not torn.

[0008] The squid gripping mechanism of the present invention includes squid grippers and gripper drive cylinders. The squid grippers are driven to open and close by the gripper drive cylinders.

[0009] A squid self-adjusting feeding device includes a frame, a control system, and a squid carrier. The frame is equipped with a conveying mechanism. The device is characterized by: an adjustable squid feeding position device as described above; a feeding drive mechanism connected to the frame; and the feeding drive mechanism controlled by the control system. The feeding drive mechanism drives a gripper to hold the squid and place it onto the squid carrier. The squid feeding position adjustment mechanism adjusts the position of the squid gripper, achieving rapid, accurate, and damage-free feeding of the squid.

[0010] The squid clamping mechanism of the present invention has a squid head dropping mechanism on the other side. The squid head dropping mechanism includes a pressing block and a pressing block driving component. The pressing block is provided on the other side of the squid clamping mechanism. The pressing block is spaced apart from the squid clamping mechanism. The pressing block is driven by the pressing block driving component so that when the squid clamping mechanism grips the squid on the squid carrier, the pressing block driving component drives the pressing block to fall quickly, pressing the squid head downwards, and allowing it to fall naturally from the front end of the squid carrier.

[0011] The conveying mechanism of the present invention includes a conveyor belt, a conveyor motor, and guide frames. The conveyor belt is located above the frame and is driven by the conveyor motor, which is fixed to the frame. Guide frames are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt along the transmission direction, with two guide frames spaced apart to form a squid guiding channel. The lower end of the guide frame is fitted with the conveyor belt with a clearance, and the guide frame is fixedly connected to the frame to ensure that the squid are conveyed with their tails facing the positioning mechanism.

[0012] The feeding end of the squid guide channel of the present invention is flared outward in a trumpet shape, and the discharging end of the squid guide channel faces the positioning mechanism, so as to facilitate the squid entering the guide channel.

[0013] The conveying mechanism of the present invention is provided with a squid positioning mechanism on one side, which can position the squid conveyed by the conveyor belt.

[0014] The squid positioning mechanism of this invention can be composed of a positioning plate, an adjusting roller, a rotary motor, a height driving mechanism, and a sensor. The positioning plate is located behind the conveyor belt along the transmission direction, with its front end engaging with the conveyor belt. An adjusting roller is located above the positioning plate, and a sensor is located behind the positioning plate. The adjusting roller is driven by the rotary motor, which in turn is driven by the height driving mechanism, which is connected to the frame. The sensor is fixed to the frame. The positioning plate catches the squid on the conveyor belt. The height driving mechanism drives the adjusting roller to descend, and upon contact with the squid, drives the rotary motor, causing the adjusting roller to rotate from front to back towards the sensor, moving the squid towards the sensor. When the sensor detects the squid's tail, squid positioning is achieved.

[0015] The squid positioning mechanism of this invention can also consist of a positioning plate, an adjusting roller, a baffle, a rotary motor, and a height driving mechanism. The positioning plate is located behind the conveyor belt along the transmission direction. The front end of the positioning plate engages with the conveyor belt. An adjusting roller is located above the positioning plate, and a baffle is located behind the positioning plate. The adjusting roller is driven by a rotary motor, which in turn is driven by a height driving mechanism connected to a frame. The baffle is clearance-fitted with the rear end of the positioning plate and is also connected to the frame. The positioning plate catches the squid on the conveyor belt. The height driving mechanism drives the adjusting roller to descend. After contacting the squid, it drives the rotary motor, causing the adjusting roller to rotate from front to back towards the baffle, moving the squid towards the baffle. The squid stops when its tail touches the baffle, thus achieving squid positioning.

[0016] The height of the upper end of the positioning plate in this invention is lower than the height of the upper end of the conveyor belt, and the front end of the positioning plate is fitted with the conveyor belt with a gap to ensure that the squid is effectively conveyed to the positioning plate.

[0017] The frame of the present invention is provided with an adjustable positioning frame, and the height driving mechanism is fixedly connected to the adjustable positioning frame. The adjustable positioning frame is detachably fixedly connected to the frame via adjustment holes and screws, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the adjustable positioning frame according to the size of the squid, thereby adjusting the position of the positioning mechanism.

[0018] The frame of the present invention is provided with a transfer mechanism, which includes a transfer conveyor belt and a transfer drive motor. The lower end of the positioning plate is provided with a transfer conveyor belt, and positioning plates are fixed at intervals on the transfer conveyor belt. The transfer conveyor belt is driven by the transfer drive motor, so that the transfer conveyor belt moves by the transfer drive motor, thereby driving the positioning plates to move and transporting the positioning plates and the squid on the positioning plates to the area below the loading mechanism.

[0019] The feeding drive mechanism of the present invention includes a gripper lifting cylinder and a gripper front and rear drive cylinder. The gripper front and rear drive cylinder is fixedly installed on the frame. The pressing block drive component and the gripper lifting cylinder are both driven by the gripper front and rear drive cylinder. The adjustment frame is driven by the gripper lifting cylinder. The pressing block, gripper, and adjustment frame are driven to move back and forth simultaneously by the gripper front and rear drive cylinder. The gripper is driven to move up and down by the gripper lifting cylinder to grab the squid from the positioning plate.

[0020] Due to the above-mentioned structure, this invention has the advantages of ingenious structure, fast and accurate squid feeding, and no damage to the squid. Attached Figure Description

[0029] A squid feeding position adjustable device 13 includes a squid clamping mechanism 1, characterized in that: a squid feeding position adjustment mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the squid clamping mechanism 1, and the squid feeding position adjustment mechanism 2 can adjust the position of the squid clamping mechanism 1 according to the size of the squid, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the squid clamping mechanism according to the size of the squid, thereby adjusting the squid feeding position and preventing the squid from being torn.

[0030] The squid feeding position adjustment mechanism 2 of the present invention includes an adjustment frame 3, a feeding drive mechanism 4, a connecting frame 5, a connecting rod 6, and an adjustment spring.

The connecting frame 5 has a connecting hole, through which the connecting rod 6 passes and is fixedly connected to the adjustment frame 3. An adjustment spring is sleeved on the connecting rod 6. One end abuts against the boss fixed to the outer wall of the connecting rod 6, and the other end abuts against the connecting frame 5, so as to drive the adjusting frame and the squid clamping mechanism to move through the feeding drive mechanism. The squid clamping mechanism clamps the squid and places it on the squid carrier. The squid head hangs down from one end of the squid carrier. When the squid is small, the squid head is positioned after hanging down. The squid clamped by the squid clamping mechanism is resisted by the squid head, so the squid clamping mechanism does not move. The adjusting frame continues to move backward under the drive of the feeding drive mechanism. The connecting rod moves backward with the adjusting frame and squeezes the adjusting spring. The squid clamping mechanism does not move, ensuring that the squid is not torn.

[0031] The squid gripping mechanism 1 of the present invention includes squid grippers 8 and gripper drive cylinder 9. The squid grippers 8 are driven to open and close by the gripper drive cylinder 9.

[0032] A squid self-adjusting feeding device includes a frame 10, a control system, and a squid carrier 11. The frame 10 is equipped with a conveying mechanism 12.

[0033] The squid clamping mechanism 1 of the present invention has a squid head dropping mechanism 14 on the other side. The squid head dropping mechanism 14 includes a pressing block 15 and a pressing block driving component 16. The pressing block 15 is provided on the other side of the squid clamping mechanism 1. The pressing block 15 is spaced apart from the squid clamping mechanism 1. The pressing block 15 is driven by the pressing block driving component 16. The pressing block driving component 16 is a pressing block height driving cylinder. The pressing block driving component 16 is driven by the feeding driving mechanism 4, or by the front and rear driving mechanism. The pressing block driving component 16 is connected to the control system so that when the squid clamping mechanism grips the squid on the squid carrier, the pressing block driving component drives the pressing block to fall quickly, pressing the squid head downwards, and naturally dropping it from the front end of the squid carrier.

[0034] The conveying mechanism 12 of the present invention includes a conveyor belt 17, a conveyor motor 18, and guide frames 19. The conveyor belt 17 is provided above the frame 10. The conveyor belt 17 is driven by the conveyor motor 18, which is fixed on the frame 10 and controlled by the control system. Guide frames 19 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 17 along the transmission direction. The two guide frames 19 are spaced apart, forming a squid guide channel 20 between the two guide frames 19. The lower end of the guide frame 19 is clearance-fitted with the conveyor belt 17. The guide frame 19 is fixedly connected to the frame 10 to ensure that the squid are conveyed with their tails facing the positioning mechanism through the transmission of the guided squid.

[0035] The squid guide channel 20 of the present invention has a feeding end that opens outward in a trumpet shape, and the discharging end of the squid guide channel 20 faces the positioning mechanism, so as to facilitate the squid entering the guide channel.

[0036] The conveying mechanism 12 of the present invention is provided with a squid positioning mechanism 21 on one side, which can position the squid conveyed by the conveyor belt 17.

[0037] The squid positioning mechanism 21 of this invention can be composed of a positioning plate 22, an adjusting roller 23, a rotary motor 24, a height driving mechanism 25, and a sensor 26. The positioning plate 22 is provided behind the conveyor belt 17 along the transmission direction. The front end of the positioning plate 22 is engaged with the conveyor belt 17. The adjusting roller 23 is provided above the positioning plate 22. The sensor 26 is provided behind the positioning plate 22. The adjusting roller 23 is driven by the rotary motor 24, which is driven by the height driving mechanism 25. The height driving mechanism 25 is connected to the frame 10. The sensor 26 is fixed on the frame 10. The sensor 26, the height driving mechanism 25, and the rotary motor 24 are all controlled by the control system. The positioning plate catches the squid on the conveyor belt. The height driving mechanism drives the adjusting roller to descend. After contacting the squid, it drives the rotary motor. The adjusting roller rotates from front to back towards the sensor, causing the squid to move towards the sensor. When the sensor detects the tail of the squid, the squid is positioned.

[0038] The squid positioning mechanism 21 of the present invention can also be composed of a positioning plate 22, an adjusting roller 23, a baffle, a rotary motor 24, and a height driving mechanism 25. The positioning plate 22 is provided behind the conveyor belt 17 along the transmission direction. The front end of the positioning plate 22 is engaged with the conveyor belt 17. The adjusting roller 23 is provided above the positioning plate 22. The baffle is provided behind the positioning plate 22. The adjusting roller 23 is driven by the rotary motor 24, which is driven by the height driving mechanism 25. The height driving mechanism 25 is connected to the frame 10. The baffle is clearance-fitted with the rear end of the positioning plate 22 and is connected to the frame 10. The height driving mechanism 25 and the rotary motor 24 are both controlled by the control system. The positioning plate catches the squid on the conveyor belt. The height driving mechanism drives the adjusting roller to descend. After contacting the squid, the rotary motor drives the adjusting roller to rotate from front to back towards the baffle, causing the squid to move towards the baffle. The squid stops when its tail touches the baffle, thus achieving squid positioning.

[0039] The height of the upper end of the positioning plate 22 is lower than the height of the upper end of the conveyor belt 17. The front end of the positioning plate 22 is fitted with the conveyor belt 17 with a gap to ensure that the squid is effectively conveyed to the positioning plate 22.

[0040] The frame 10 of the present invention is provided with a positioning adjustable frame 32. The height driving mechanism 25 is fixedly connected to the positioning adjustable frame 32. The positioning adjustable frame 32 is detachably fixedly connected to the frame 10 via adjustment holes and screws, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the positioning adjustable frame according to the size of the squid, thereby adjusting the position of the positioning mechanism.

[0041] The frame 10 of the present invention is provided with a transfer mechanism 27, which includes a transfer conveyor belt 28 and a transfer drive motor 29. The lower end of the positioning plate 22 is provided with a transfer conveyor belt 28, and positioning plates 22 are fixedly fixed on the transfer conveyor belt 28 at intervals. The transfer conveyor belt 28 is driven by the transfer drive motor 29, which is controlled by a control system. The transfer drive motor 29 is fixed on the frame 10 so that it drives the transfer conveyor belt to move, thereby driving the positioning plates to move and conveying the positioning plates and the squid on the positioning plates to the area below the loading mechanism.

[0042] The feeding drive mechanism 4 of the present invention includes a gripper lifting cylinder 30 and a gripper front and rear drive cylinder 31. The gripper front and rear drive cylinder 31 is fixedly installed on the frame 10. The pressing block drive component 16 and the gripper lifting cylinder 30 are both driven by the gripper front and rear drive cylinder 31. The adjusting frame 3 is driven by the gripper lifting cylinder 30. The gripper lifting cylinder 30 and the gripper front and rear drive cylinder 31 are both controlled by the control system so that the pressing block, gripper and adjusting frame can be driven to move back and forth simultaneously by the gripper front and rear drive cylinder, and the gripper can be driven to move up and down by the gripper lifting cylinder to grab the squid from the positioning plate.

[0043] As attached Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the adjustable squid feeding position device 13 of the present invention, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, during use, the adjustable squid feeding position device 13 is installed on the frame 1. In this invention, the control system, such as a PLC control system, controls the gripper drive cylinder 9, the pressing block drive component 16, the front and rear drive mechanism, the conveyor motor 18, the rotary motor 24, the height drive mechanism 25, the sensor 26, the transfer drive motor 29, the gripper lifting cylinder 30, and the gripper front and rear drive cylinder 31 on the frame 10, enabling automatic squid feeding. The height drive mechanism 25 can be a motor, cylinder, or existing drive component, as long as it can drive the rotary motor 24 to move up and down. In this invention, the pressing block drive component 16 can be driven by the gripper front and rear drive cylinder 31 or by the front and rear drive mechanism. The front and rear drive mechanism can be a drive cylinder or an electric push rod. One end of the front and rear drive mechanism is fixed to the frame, and the other end is connected to the pressing block drive component 16.

[0044] When the pressing block drive component 16 is driven by the front and rear drive cylinders 31 of the gripper, the distance between the pressing block 15 and the squid gripper 8 is fixed, and the action of pressing the squid head is fast and consistent. When the pressing block drive component 16 is driven by the front and rear drive mechanism, the distance between the pressing block 15 and the squid gripper 8 is not fixed. The distance between the pressing block 15 and the squid gripper 8 can be adjusted by the front and rear drive mechanism and the front and rear drive cylinders 31 of the gripper, which is convenient for flexible adjustment according to the size of the squid and the position of the squid carrier 11. The two structures can be selected and installed according to the requirements.

[0045] For ease of description, see attached Figure 3 To illustrate the orientation, the conveying mechanism 12 is in front, the squid positioning mechanism 21 is behind, the squid head dropping mechanism 14 is in front of the squid clamping mechanism 1, the squid feeding position adjustment mechanism 2 is behind the squid clamping mechanism 1, and the squid clamping mechanism 1 is to the right of the squid positioning mechanism 21.

[0046] Before feeding begins, adjust the position of the adjustable positioning frame 32 on the frame 10 according to the approximate size of the squid. The lower end of the adjustable positioning frame 32 is provided with an adjustment hole, allowing the adjustable positioning frame 32 to move back and forth and left and right along the frame 10. The adjustable positioning frame 32, along with the adjustment roller 23, moves relative to the frame 10 back and forth and left and right. Once the position is appropriate, fix it to the frame 10 with screws passing through the adjustment hole, thus securing the adjustable positioning frame 32 to the frame 10. The operation method of the squid self-adjusting feeding device in this invention is as follows:

[0047] Step 1: Place the squid on the conveyor belt 17 with the squid head facing forward and the squid tail fin facing down and backward. The control system controls the start of the conveyor motor 18 to drive the conveyor belt 17 to rotate. The conveyor belt 17 carries the squid from front to back. After passing through the squid guide channel 20, the squid falls onto the positioning plate 17 behind the conveyor belt 17.

[0048] Step 2: The control system starts the height drive mechanism 25, which drives the adjusting roller 23 to descend. The adjusting roller 23 contacts the upper surface of the squid on the positioning plate 17. The rotary motor 24 is started, which drives the adjusting roller 23 to rotate, moving the squid from front to back. When the sensor 26 detects the squid, the control system shuts off the rotary motor 24 and starts the height drive mechanism 25, which drives the adjusting roller 23 to rise away from the squid.

[0049] Step 3: The control system starts the transfer drive motor 29, which drives the transfer conveyor belt 28 to move the positioning plate 22 carrying the squid to the right, moving the positioning plate 22 carrying the squid below the squid clamping mechanism 1, and then turns off the transfer drive motor 29.

[0050] Step 4: The control system starts the gripper lifting cylinder 30, the telescopic rod of the gripper lifting cylinder 30 extends, driving the squid gripping mechanism 1 and the squid feeding position adjustment mechanism 2 to move downward. The control system starts the gripper drive cylinder 9 to open the squid gripper 8, the squid gripper 8 grabs the squid on the positioning plate 22, and the squid gripper 8 closes.

[0051] Step 5: The control system activates the gripper's front and rear drive cylinders 31. These cylinders, along with the squid feeding position adjustment device 13 and the squid head dropping mechanism 14, move backward toward the squid carrier. The front end of the carrier has a positioning groove. When the squid head reaches the front end of the carrier, it drops down from the positioning groove.

[0052] To prevent the squid gripping mechanism 1 from moving the squid too fast, which would prevent the squid head from falling off the front of the squid carrier,

[0053] When the squid head reaches the front end of the squid carrier, the control system activates the pressing block drive component 16. The telescopic rod of the pressing block drive component 16 drives the pressing block 15 to move downwards quickly. The pressing block 15 presses the squid head downwards, causing it to fall from the positioning groove at the front end of the squid carrier. The control system then activates the pressing block drive component 16, and the telescopic rod of the pressing block drive component 16 drives the pressing block 15 to rise and return to its original position. The lowest point of the descending pressing block 15 is lower than the upper end surface of the squid carrier 11. After the squid head falls, the control system activates the gripper drive cylinder 9 to open the squid gripper 8, allowing the squid to fall onto the squid carrier 11. The control system then activates the gripper lifting cylinder 30 and the gripper front and rear drive cylinder 31 to move the squid gripper 8 away from the squid and return it to its original position, completing the automatic squid unloading process. This process is repeated. The process achieves automated batch feeding of squid. In this invention, the squid positioning mechanism 21 moves the squid to the sensor 26 via the adjusting roller 23 and stops when the sensor detects it. The sensor, such as an infrared sensor, senses the squid and transmits the signal to the control system. The control system then shuts down the rotating motor 24. This ensures that the tail of each squid being fed reaches the same position. The initial position of the squid gripper 8 of the squid clamping mechanism 1 matches the position of the squid on the positioning plate. The squid gripper 8 grabs the squid near the tail fin. In general program settings, the displacement of the squid after being grabbed by the squid gripper 8 and moved to the squid carrier 11 is predetermined, that is, the displacement of the front and rear drive cylinders 31 of the gripper is fixed, but the size of the squid varies. No, in a batch of squid awaiting loading, some larger squid are longer, and some smaller squid are shorter. For longer squid, the system-set movement position is appropriate; the squid head drops from the groove at the front of the squid carrier, and the gripper's front and rear drive cylinder 31 moves the squid gripper 8 to its position and stops moving, thus placing the squid appropriately. However, for shorter squid, when the squid head drops from the groove at the front of the squid carrier, the gripper's front and rear drive cylinder 31 needs to move further backward to reach the predetermined position. At this point, because the squid's position is fixed after the squid head drops, if the squid gripper 8 continues to move backward while holding the squid, it will tear the squid. In this invention, the squid loading position adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust this. When the squid... After the squid's head droops, the squid's head creates resistance as it moves backward. At this point, the gripper's front and rear drive cylinder 31 drives the adjusting frame 3 to continue moving backward. The adjusting frame 3 then drives the connecting rod 6 to move backward, compressing the adjusting spring. The adjusting spring compresses the connecting frame 5, fixing the connecting frame 5 to the gripper drive cylinder 9. When the resistance of the squid's head to its backward movement exceeds the elastic force of the adjusting spring, the gripper drive cylinder 9 remains in place. Consequently, the squid grippers 8 and the squid remain in place, while the gripper's front and rear drive cylinder 31 drives the adjusting frame 3 to move backward. The connecting rod 6 moves backward, compressing the adjusting spring, until the gripper's front and rear drive cylinder 31 reaches its preset stroke and stops. The squid grippers 8 open and release the squid, and the adjusting frame 3 and connecting rod 6 return to their original positions under the restoring force of the adjusting spring.This invention features an ingenious structure that adjusts the squid's position on the squid carrier after loading according to its size, maintaining the squid's integrity and preventing it from tearing. Furthermore, the invention incorporates guide frames 19 on the conveyor belt 17, guiding the squid's transport so that they all land head-forward on the positioning plate 22. The squid positioning mechanism 21 then positions the squid's tail, ensuring that each squid gripper grasps the squid's tail, thus improving gripping efficiency.

[0054] Due to the above-mentioned structure, this invention has the advantages of ingenious structure, fast and accurate squid feeding, and no damage to the squid.
