DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] In addition, when an element in the present invention is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only embodiment.

[0033] See also Figure 1 to Figure 9 In an embodiment of the present invention, a prawn head-tail sorting and head-removing integrated processing device comprises: a truss 1, and a lifting plate 2 fixedly mounted on the truss 1 and symmetrically arranged, and a material storage box 3 and a fixing plate 19 are fixed on the lifting plate 2; and further comprises: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , an intermittent conveying mechanism is arranged on the lifting plate 2 and connected to the storage box 3, the intermittent conveying mechanism includes a motor 4 fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 2, a stirring blade 5 connected to the output shaft of the motor 4 is rotatably mounted in the storage box 3, a conveying pipe 6 is fixed to the bottom of the storage box 3, a receiving assembly connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring blade 5 is arranged on the lifting plate 2, wherein the receiving assembly includes a first rotating rod 8 rotatably mounted on the lifting plate 2, and a first rotating rod 8 is sleeved with a stirring rod 8 connected to the stirring rod 5. A first belt 7 is connected to the rotating shaft of the leaf 5, a rotating ring 9 is fixed on the first rotating rod 8, and a plurality of storage grooves 901 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating ring 9 and are equidistantly distributed in a circle. A limiting structure cooperating with the storage grooves 901 is arranged on the lifting plate 2, and the limiting structure mentioned above comprises a hollow rod 10 fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 2, a limiting ring 11 mounted on the rotating ring 9 is fixed on the hollow rod 10, and a through groove 1101 cooperating with the storage grooves 901 is arranged on the limiting ring 11.

[0034] In detail, the storage box 3 is used to hold the shrimps that need to be processed. In the initial state, four storage slots 901 are provided, and one of the storage slots 901 is located directly below the conveying pipe 6. This storage slot 901 is used to describe that in order to ensure that the shrimp heads are oriented in the same direction, the shrimps in the storage box 3 need to be conveyed to the visual detection component individually. Therefore, when the motor 4 is working, it drives the stirring blade 5 to rotate slowly. Under the action of the stirring blade 5, the shrimps lie horizontally on each stirring blade 5. At the same time, the stirring blade 5 can also prevent multiple shrimps from overlapping at the nozzle position of the conveying pipe 6, causing the nozzle of the conveying pipe 6 to be blocked. Under the action of the stirring blade 5, the shrimps can enter smoothly. Into the conveying pipe 6, at this time, multiple shrimps will lie horizontally on the conveying pipe 6, and under the action of gravity, the shrimps at the bottom of the conveying pipe 6 enter this storage tank 901. Since the gap between the rotating ring 9 and the end of the conveying pipe 6 is very small, and the size of the storage tank 901 is only slightly larger than the size of the shrimp, the conveying pipe 6 can only convey one shrimp into the storage tank 901 at a time. When the stirring blade 5 rotates, it will also drive the first rotating rod 8 to rotate through the first belt 7, thereby driving the storage tank 901 to move through the rotating ring 9. When the storage tank 901 is separated from the conveying pipe 6, under the action of the outer wall of the rotating ring 9, it is ensured that the shrimps in the conveying pipe 6 will not be discharged.

[0035] Preferably, in order to prevent the shrimps in the storage trough 901 from falling off before moving to the desired position, the shrimps in the storage trough 901 need to be limited. The limiting ring 11 is mounted on the rotating ring 9, and the gap left between the limiting ring 11 and the rotating ring 9 is very small to ensure that the shrimps in the storage trough 901 will not fall out. When the storage trough 901 moves to the position cooperating with the through slot 1101, the shrimps in the storage trough 901 will enter the visual detection component through the through slot 1101, and under the action of the visual detection component, the direction of the shrimp heads is adjusted to ensure that the direction of the shrimp heads conveyed by the storage trough 901 is consistent. Repeat the above steps to achieve intermittent conveying of shrimps (the intermittent conveying mentioned here means that there is a certain time interval between the next shrimp being detected by the visual detection component and adjusted to reach the cutting position and the previous shrimp being conveyed to the cutting position), and the effect of adjusting the direction of the shrimp heads, the shrimps will also be equidistantly distributed on the conveying component.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7The lifting plate 2 is also provided with a visual inspection component that cooperates with the intermittent conveying mechanism, and the visual inspection component includes a second rotating rod 12, a receiving plate 31 is fixed between the lifting plates 2, the second rotating rod 12 is rotatably mounted on the receiving plate 31, a rotating plate 13 is fixed to the end of the second rotating rod 12, a conveying box 1301 is provided on the rotating plate 13, and the conveying box 1301 cooperates with the through groove 1101; the visual inspection component also includes a visual inspection module fixedly mounted on the bottom of the storage box 3, and a fixed plate 14 fixedly mounted on the receiving plate 31, and a conveying hole 1401 that cooperates with the conveying box 1301 is provided on the fixed plate 14.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the conveying box 1301 is located at a position that cooperates with the through slot 1101 and is separated from the conveying hole 1401. A visual detection module is installed at the bottom of the storage box 3 to detect the orientation of the shrimp head placed in the storage slot 901 and adjust the rotation direction of the conveying box 1301 according to the orientation of the shrimp head. When the rotating ring 9 rotates, the shrimp is driven to move through the storage slot 901, and when the storage slot 901 moves to a position that cooperates with the through slot 1101, the shrimp will be conveyed to the conveying box 1301 through the storage slot 901 and the through slot 1101. Under the action of the visual detection module, the conveying is controlled according to the orientation of the shrimp head. The box 1301 rotates in the direction of rotation to ensure that the direction of the shrimp head always remains consistent. At the same time, the second rotating rod 12 will drive the rotating plate 13 to move, so as to control the shrimp to move toward the delivery hole 1401 through the delivery box 1301. When the delivery box 1301 moves to a position that cooperates with the delivery hole 1401, the shrimp will enter the delivery assembly through the delivery hole 1401. After the second rotating rod 12 rotates one circle, the delivery box 1301 moves to a position that cooperates with the through slot 1101 again. If the direction of the shrimp head of the next shrimp is opposite to that of the shrimp head of the previous shrimp, the delivery box 1301 will rotate in the opposite direction to ensure that the direction of the shrimp head always remains consistent.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , a conveying component is arranged on the lifting plate 2 and connected to the intermittent conveying mechanism, the intermittent conveying mechanism can intermittently convey the shrimps in the storage box 3 to the visual detection component, and after adjusting the direction of the shrimp head through the visual detection component, the shrimps are conveyed to the conveying component, the conveying component includes a conveying roller 16 rotatably mounted on the lifting plate 2 and symmetrically arranged, the conveying roller 16 is provided with a first conveyor belt 17 and a second conveyor belt 18, one of the conveying rollers 16 is provided with a second belt 15 connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring blade 5.

[0039] Furthermore, the conveying hole 1401 is located at a position that cooperates with the first conveyor belt 17 and the second conveyor belt 18. When the shrimp enters the first conveyor belt 17 and the second conveyor belt 18 through the conveying hole 1401, the shrimp head will be located on the first conveyor belt 17 and the shrimp body will be located on the second conveyor belt 18. When the stirring blade 5 rotates, the conveying roller 16 will be driven to move through the second belt 15, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 17 and the second conveyor belt 18 to move, so as to control the shrimp to move toward the cutting and holding mechanism. Since the shrimp is always being conveyed, the shrimp will be evenly distributed on the conveyor belt. At this time, the shrimp head can be removed.

[0040] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , a height adjustment component is arranged on the fixed plate 19 and connected to the conveying component, and the height adjustment component includes a third rotating rod 20 rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 19, and the third rotating rod 20 is sleeved with a third belt 21 connected to the rotating shaft of the conveying roller 16, and symmetrically arranged cams 22 are fixed at both ends of the third rotating rod 20.

[0041] Furthermore, when the shrimps are transported to the conveyor belt, it is necessary to control the movement of the cutting and holding mechanism so as to remove the heads of the shrimps by the cutting knife 28. In the initial state, the short axis of the cam 22 abuts against the cutting and holding mechanism. Under the action of the cutting and holding mechanism, the cutting knife 28 is located at the end of the stroke away from the truss 1. When the shrimps need to be deheaded, the conveyor roller 16 rotates and drives the third rotating rod 20 to rotate through the third belt 21. The third rotating rod 20 also drives the cam 22 to rotate, and when the long axis of the cam 22 moves to a position coordinated with the cutting and holding mechanism, the cutting knife 28 is driven to move toward the support plate 29 until the cutting knife 28 passes through the gap between the first conveyor belt 17 and the second conveyor belt 18 and abuts against the support plate 29. The shrimp heads will be will be cut off, and the above steps are repeated to achieve the effect of automatic removal of shrimp heads, wherein the cutting knife 28 is longer in the direction of travel of the conveyor belt, and the shrimps can be arranged on the conveyor belt at equal intervals under the action of the intermittent conveying mechanism and the visual detection component. Therefore, the cutting knife 28 can remove the heads of multiple shrimps in a single reciprocating motion. At the same time, since the conveyor roller 16 is connected to the third rotating rod 20 through the third belt 21, when the conveyor roller 16 rotates one circle, the third rotating rod 20 also rotates one circle. Therefore, when the conveyor roller 16 rotates one circle, the cutting knife 28 reciprocates once and completes one cutting. The movement stroke of the conveyor belt driven by the conveyor roller 16 rotating one circle is smaller than the size of the cutting knife 28, thereby ensuring that the shrimps on the conveyor belt will not be missed.

[0042] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The fixed plate 19 is also provided with a cutting holding mechanism connected to the height adjustment component, and the cutting holding mechanism is connected to a cutting knife 28. The height adjustment component can be actuated when the conveying component moves, so as to drive the cutting knife 28 to reciprocate in the vertical direction through the cutting holding mechanism. The cutting holding mechanism includes a slide groove 1901 provided on the fixed plate 19, and a support plate 29 and a receiving box 30 are fixed on the lifting plate 2. A support plate 29 and a receiving box 30 connected to the cam 22 are provided in the slide groove 1901. A sliding assembly, wherein the sliding assembly includes a guide column 25 fixedly installed in the slide groove 1901, a sliding block 23 slidingly connected to the slide groove 1901 is slidably installed on the guide column 25, and a spring 26 abutting against the sliding block 23 is sleeved on the guide column 25; it also includes a limiting wheel 24 fixedly installed on the side wall of the sliding block 23, the limiting wheel 24 abuts against the cam 22, and a connecting plate 27 is also fixed to the side wall of the sliding block 23, and the connecting plate 27 is fixedly connected to the cutting knife 28.

[0043] To elaborate, in the initial state, the spring 26 is in a compressed state, so that the sliding block 23 is located at the end of the stroke away from the truss 1, and the limiting wheel 24 abuts against the short axis of the cam 22. Under the action of the sliding block 23, the cutting knife 28 is controlled by the connecting plate 27 to be located at the end of the stroke away from the truss 1. When the shrimp needs to be headed, at this time, the cam 22 rotates and drives the limiting wheel 24 to move, thereby driving the sliding block 23 to move along the length direction of the guide column 25, so that the spring 26 is compressed, and the sliding block 23 also drives the connecting plate 27 to move and controls the cutting knife 28 to move toward the truss 1. When the cutting knife 28 moves to a position that fits the shrimp head, under the action of the support plate 29, a cutting support force is provided to ensure that the shrimp head can be removed smoothly. When the long axis of the cam 22 abuts against the limiting wheel 24, the cutting knife 28 moves to the end of the stroke. At this time, the cam 22 continues to move, and the spring 26 is elastically released, so that the cutting knife 28 moves toward the initial position. Repeat the above steps to achieve the purpose of automatically removing the shrimp head.

[0044] Preferably, after the shrimp heads are cut, the shrimp heads will remain on the first conveyor belt 17, and the shrimp bodies will remain on the second conveyor belt 18, and under the action of the first conveyor belt 17 and the second conveyor belt 18, they will be transported to the receiving box 30. The receiving box 30 is also divided into two parts, one part for receiving the shrimp heads and the other part for receiving the shrimp bodies. Therefore, the effect of classifying the shrimps after the heads are removed can be achieved.

[0045] A method for integrated processing of prawn head-tail sorting and head removal comprises the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Place the shrimps to be processed in the storage box 3, and under the action of the intermittent conveying mechanism, the shrimps in the storage box 3 are conveyed individually to the visual inspection component;

[0047] Step 2: When the shrimp falls onto the visual detection component, the visual detection component automatically transports the shrimp to the conveying component according to the position of the shrimp head;

[0048] Step 3: The conveying assembly also drives the height adjustment assembly to move, so as to drive the cutting knife 28 through the cutting and holding mechanism to uniformly remove the heads of the shrimps placed on the conveying assembly;

[0049] Step 4: After the head is removed, the conveying assembly controls the shrimp head and shrimp body to be transported to the cutting and holding mechanism respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic processing of shrimp.
