Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mussel breeding equipment, and in particular relates to a seedling rope introduction structure for an automatic mussel seedling packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] Mussels, as a relatively common shellfish, are generally cultivated in the following ways: raising seeds, packaging seeds, launching into the water, removing the cloth, cultivating, and recycling.

[0003] The seedling wrapping step requires the use of the automatic seedling wrapping machine, and the seedling wrapping step can be further divided into the following specific operations: seedling rope introduction, seedling cloth transportation, mussel seedling placement, and seedling cloth sewing. Finally, the obtained breeding rope product can be tied to the floating rope, corresponding to the above-mentioned launching step.

[0004] Generally, the above-mentioned culture rope product has the following general shape: the seedling cloth wraps the middle part of the seedling rope and a large number of mussel seedlings to form a thick strip structure, and the forked end of the seedling rope is exposed outside the thick strip structure to be used for tying the floating rope. The above-mentioned cloth removal step refers to the removal of the seedling cloth. At this time, the mussel seedlings have grown a large number of byssus threads and can be firmly hung on the seedling rope.

[0005] Correspondingly, the main function of the seedling rope introduction structure is to convey the seedling rope forward on the seedling cloth and make the latter protrude appropriately to serve as the lower end of the hanging state of the breeding rope product.

[0006] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221011561U and authorization announcement date 2024.05.28 discloses an automatic material removal device for mussel farming rope, whose structure includes: a collection box, a peeling plate, a positioning cylinder, a receiving plate, a plug, a moving rod, a buffer spring, a limit ring, a drain valve, and a transparent window.

[0007] The automatic material taking device in this utility model patent can not only push out the culture rope laterally in the above-mentioned recovery stage to collect mature mussels, but also push out the seedling rope laterally in the above-mentioned seedling wrapping stage to serve as a seedling rope introduction and feeding structure for the seedling wrapping operation.

[0008] However, the automatic material taking device has at least the following disadvantages when pushing out and loading the seedling rope, which is also the technical problem to be solved by the present invention, namely:

[0009] For the seedling rope, the shapes of its two ends are different. The correct conveying and feeding direction is that the forked end is at the back, that is, the forked rope should be "pulled" instead of "pushed". Otherwise, when the seedling rope moves relatively on the seedling cloth, the forked rope in front will be twisted, and then the main rope will also be deformed, making it difficult to continue moving forward. Finally, the entire seedling rope will be retracted on the seedling cloth, and the two ends cannot be exposed correctly, resulting in failure of the seedling wrapping operation.

[0010] Therefore, in summary, there is an urgent need for a new type of introduction structure with a function of correcting the feeding direction of seedling ropes, so as to be used in various types of automatic mussel seed packaging machines. Summary of the invention

[0011] The present invention provides a seedling rope introduction structure for an automatic mussel seed packaging machine, which can arrange a rope body silo unit above a bidirectional conveyor belt and arrange a seedling rope reversing conveyor belt below the bidirectional conveyor belt, so that: a seedling rope that falls in an erroneous manner with a forked rope in front can change its front and rear directions on the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt, thereby ensuring that the introduction structure always provides the seedling cloth with the seedling rope in the correct direction with the forked rope at the rear, thereby avoiding the harmful phenomenon that the seedling rope is twisted on the seedling cloth and the front end in the conveying direction cannot be exposed from the seedling cloth.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problem is: a seedling rope introduction structure for an automatic mussel seed packaging machine, comprising a bidirectional conveyor belt for conveying seedling ropes, a rope body silo unit arranged above the bidirectional conveyor belt and used for lowering the seedling ropes, and a seedling rope reversing conveyor belt arranged below the bidirectional conveyor belt and used for receiving the main rope and the forked rope in sequence when the bidirectional conveyor belt lowers the seedling rope with the forked end in front.

[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that the rope body silo unit includes two vertical plates arranged above the bidirectional conveyor belt and used for loading seedling ropes, and a movable plate arranged below the two vertical plates and used for lowering one seedling rope at a time.

[0014] A further preferred technical solution is that the rope body silo unit further includes a rotating shaft for mounting a plurality of the movable plates.

[0015] A further preferred technical solution is that the rope body silo unit also includes a supporting hole plate for plugging the movable plate.

[0016] A further preferred technical solution is that two baffles for seedling ropes are provided between the bidirectional conveyor belt and the rope body silo unit and are located at both sides of the bidirectional conveyor belt respectively.

[0017] A further preferred technical solution is that the rope body silo unit also includes a hanging plate which is arranged on one of the vertical plates and is located at both sides of the movable plate and is used to connect the seedling rope baffle on the same side.

[0018] A further preferred technical solution is that an introduction tube for conveying the seedling rope is provided on the output end of the bidirectional conveyor belt.

[0019] A further preferred technical solution is that a branch pipe connected to the inlet pipe and used to convey the seedling rope is provided on the output end of the conveyor belt for reversing the seedling rope.

[0020] A further preferred technical solution is that an opening is provided on the introduction tube and / or the branch tube, and a driving wheel is arranged on the opening and used for frictionally driving the seedling rope.

[0021] A further preferred technical solution is that inclined plates for introducing seedling ropes are respectively provided on the output ends of the bidirectional conveyor belt and the conveyor belt for reversing the seedling ropes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The following descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0040] As attached Figure 1-12 As shown, a seedling rope introduction structure for an automatic mussel seed packaging machine includes a bidirectional conveyor belt 1 for conveying seedling rope a, a rope body silo unit 2 arranged above the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 and used for lowering the seedling rope a, and a seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3 arranged below the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 and used for receiving the main rope a-1 and the forked rope a-2 in sequence when the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 lowers the seedling rope a with the forked end in front.

[0041] In this embodiment, the main function of the seedling rope introduction structure is roughly the same as other existing devices for seedling rope introduction, which is to transport a single section of seedling rope a to the seedling cloth b. Figure 3 As shown, in the conveying direction of the seedling rope a, its front end must exceed the last cut edge of the seedling cloth b, otherwise the mussel seedlings placed in this area on the seedling cloth b cannot be attached to the seedling rope a. Therefore, in the above-mentioned cloth removal stage, once the seedling cloth b is removed, this part of the mussel seedlings is easy to fall off, causing greater losses.

[0042] In order to more stably tie the seedling rope a to the floating rope d, a forked rope a-2, a tie buckle, a reinforcement ring and other structures are set at one end of the seedling rope a. If the above structure is "pushed" on the conveyor belt, it is easy to twist and stop on the seedling cloth b, resulting in the end being unable to exceed and be exposed outside the seedling cloth b.

[0043] At this time, if the culture rope continues to carry out normal seedling wrapping operations, even if all subsequent operations are correct, even if the original lower end of the culture rope, that is, the non-bound end, is forcibly tied to the floating rope d, the mussel seedlings will fall and be lost during the above-mentioned cloth removal stage.

[0044] Therefore, for the seedling rope a, the correct conveying and introducing direction can only be that the forked rope a-2 is at the back, that is, the forked rope a-2 is "pulled along". At this time, the seedling rope a is driven by the upper pressure wheel and / or the conveyor belt, and is conveyed straight to the seedling cloth b, with the front end of the seedling rope a exposed, and at the same time, the seedling cloth cutting position e exposes the rear end of the seedling rope a, so that the breeding rope can be smoothly tied and provide a complete rope body for fixing the mussel seedlings c.

[0045] During the use of the seedling rope introduction structure, when the seedling rope a is loaded at the rope body silo unit 2, it is necessary to place all the bifurcated ropes a-2 at the rear end of the conveyor belt in the forward direction as much as possible. The seedling rope introduction structure is provided with the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3, so that the seedling rope a that is occasionally misplaced and has one end of the bifurcated rope a-2 reversed can be correctly output after the front and rear positions are reversed, and finally introduced into the seedling packaging operation area f.

[0046] Therefore, correspondingly, the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 needs to have a bidirectional conveying function, and the rope body silo unit 2 needs to drop the seedling ropes a one by one and flatly onto the bidirectional conveyor belt 1. At this time, the forward direction of the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 is determined by manual judgment or computer recognition.

[0047] For example, in the attached Figure 7 In the embodiment, when the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 receives the seedling rope a with the bifurcated rope a-2 on the left, the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 outputs it to the right, which is the main running direction of the bidirectional conveyor belt 1. When the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 receives the seedling rope a with the bifurcated rope a-2 on the right, the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 outputs it to the left, and the seedling rope a immediately falls on the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3, and the main rope a-1 falls on the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3 first, and then the bifurcated rope a-2 falls.

[0048] At this point, the left and right ends of the seedling rope a have been swapped, and the bifurcated rope a-2 can be transported in the correct way on the left, that is, at the back. Figure 1As shown in Figure 7, the left end of the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3 is more prominent than the left end of the bidirectional conveyor belt 1, that is, the former is closer to the left, so that the seedling rope a will not fall to the ground.

[0049] The right ends of the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3 and the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 are aligned in the transverse direction, so that all the seedling ropes a have a relatively determined output position when introduced into the seedling wrapping operation area f, ensuring that the seedling rope transition structure between the above two conveyor belts and the seedling wrapping operation area f, which may be required later, can be simply prepared, installed and used.

[0050] The rope body silo unit 2 includes two vertical plates 201 arranged above the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 and used for loading the seedling rope a, and a movable plate 202 arranged below the two vertical plates 201 and used for lowering one seedling rope a at a time.

[0051] In this embodiment, the warehouse space formed by the two vertical plates 201 does not need to be sealed at both ends in the moving direction of the conveyor belt. Figure 6 The cross section shown is in the shape of "large at the top and small at the bottom", so that after the shape of the warehouse body cooperates with the movable plate 202, one seedling rope a can be lowered horizontally at a time.

[0052] Generally, one of the two vertical plates 201 is appropriately tilted in the vertical plane to form the above-mentioned "large at the top and small at the bottom" shape.

[0053] The rope body silo unit 2 further includes a rotating shaft 203 for mounting a plurality of the movable plates 202 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the first implementation method of the movable plate 202 lowering the seedling ropes a one by one can refer to the attached Figure 5 The rotating shaft 203 is provided with a stepping motor, the number of the movable plates 202 is 4, and each time the rotating shaft 203 rotates 90°, one seedling rope a can be lowered, and the interval time between each rotation action can be set as needed.

[0055] Among them, the length of the movable plate 202 is ≥ the length of the seedling rope a, and the rotating axis 203 is parallel to all the seedling ropes a in the loading.

[0056] The rope body silo unit 2 further includes a supporting hole plate 204 for plugging the movable plate 202 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the second implementation method of the movable plate 202 lowering the seedling ropes a one by one can refer to the attached Figure 6Among them, the movable plate 202 is provided with a cylinder, and the reciprocating speed, interval time, moving distance and other parameters of the cylinder are set as needed, which can also achieve the effect of lowering the seedling ropes a one by one, and the lowering speed is flexible and adjustable.

[0058] Two seedling rope baffles 4 are also provided between the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 and the rope body silo unit 2 and are respectively located at both sides of the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the seedling rope baffle 4 does not touch the bidirectional conveyor belt 1. The former serves to block and protect the seedling rope a that rolls slightly after being lowered, so that the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 can transport each seedling rope a straightly forward or backward.

[0060] The rope body silo unit 2 also includes a hanging plate 205 which is arranged on one of the vertical plates 201 and is located at both sides of the movable plate 202 and is used to connect the seedling rope baffle 4 on the same side.

[0061] In this embodiment, all the above-mentioned components of the seedling rope introduction structure can be fixed by a common existing frame. Fig.12 As shown, the three conveyor belt mounting plates 11 are able to fully fix the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 and the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3, and the silo mounting plates 12 are set to two, respectively according to the two vertical plates 201, and then install and fix the entire rope body silo unit 2 and the two seedling rope baffles 4.

[0062] The first function of the suspension plate 205 is to make it unnecessary to set up an additional connection structure between the seedling rope baffle plate 4 on the same side and below and the silo mounting plate 12, thereby simplifying the rope body silo unit 2 and its supporting installation structure. Or vice versa, the seedling rope baffle plate 4 is still connected to the silo mounting plate 12 through an additional structure such as a transverse plate, and the function of the suspension plate 205 is changed from the original "suspension" to "support", which is also conducive to the installation stability of the entire rope body silo unit 2.

[0063] In addition, the second function of the hanging plate 205 is to work together with the movable plate 202 to provide appropriate lateral blocking in the area originally opened on the side left between the vertical plate 201 and the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 to prevent the seedling rope a from accidentally falling out there.

[0064] An introduction pipe 5 for conveying the seedling rope a is provided on the output end of the bidirectional conveyor belt 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the introduction tube 5 can serve as the "last link" of the seedling rope introduction structure, and its function is to transport the seedling rope a straightly and with the front and rear ends unchanged to the seedling wrapping operation area f.

[0066] The cross-sectional shape of the introduction tube 5 is an oblong shape, so that the seedling rope a has a sufficient allowable error range when entering. The specific shape of the introduction tube 5 is not fixed, and its general conveying direction is also not fixed. The seedling rope a can be conveyed upward, downward, or inclined, as long as the seedling rope a is still straight and the front and rear ends remain unchanged when leaving.

[0067] For example, Figure 7 As shown, the shape of the introduction tube 5 is generally semicircular and is used for upward transportation. At this time, the seedling packaging operation area f is generally located directly above the bidirectional conveyor belt 1.

[0068] The output end of the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3 is provided with a branch pipe 6 connected to the introduction pipe 5 and used for conveying the seedling rope a.

[0069] In this embodiment, the function of the branch pipe 6 is to allow the seedling rope a with the wrong front and rear ends when being lowered to be transported together with the seedling rope a that was correctly lowered at the beginning after the front and rear ends are swapped once, and introduced into the subsequent seedling wrapping operation area f.

[0070] The general shape of the branch pipe 6 is L-shaped, with its upper end connected to the introduction pipe 5, and its lower end opening is the same as the introduction pipe 5, and is aligned with the moving seedling rope a. Correspondingly, the cross-sectional size of the branch pipe 6 is also larger than the cross-sectional size of the seedling rope a, so that the seedling rope a can smoothly enter the branch pipe 6 even if it is shifted left and right during transportation.

[0071] On the other hand, two commonly used seedling rope centering plates g are arranged on the seedling wrapping operation area f, one on the left and one on the right, so that when the seedling rope a is finally transported to the seedling cloth b, it is located in the center area of ​​the seedling cloth b as much as possible.

[0072] The introduction pipe 5 and / or the branch pipe 6 are provided with an opening 7, and a driving wheel 8 arranged on the opening 7 and used for frictionally driving the seedling rope a.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the introduction tube 5 and the branch tube 6 convey the seedling rope a generally downward, the above-mentioned conveying action does not require additional power. The power provided to the seedling rope a by the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 and / or the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3 at the beginning is sufficient to make the seedling rope a fall smoothly, slide out of the introduction tube 5, and finally complete the seedling rope introduction action required for the seedling wrapping operation.

[0074] And as attached Figure 7 As shown, when the position of the seedling wrapping operation area f is relatively high, the seedling rope conveying action of the introduction tube 5 and / or the branch tube 6 requires power, and the active wheel 8 is matched with the opening 7 and the external drive motor, which is one of the realization methods of the above power.

[0075] At this time, the driving wheel 8 is able to press down and drive the seedling rope a forward, and the number of the driving wheels 8 is relatively large, avoiding the harmful phenomenon that the seedling rope a has completely left the introduction pipe 5 or the branch pipe 6 and still has not touched any of the driving wheels 8.

[0076] On the other hand, the second power mode for the introduction pipe 5 and the branch pipe 6 to transport the seedling rope a upward is: air outlets are arranged near the lower end of the introduction pipe 5 and the branch pipe 6, and the seedling rope a is blown downward by pneumatic means.

[0077] The output ends of the bidirectional conveyor belt 1 and the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3 are respectively provided with inclined plates 9 for introducing seedling ropes.

[0078] In this embodiment, the seedling rope introduction inclined plate 9 can replace the introduction pipe 5, branch pipe 6, opening 7 and driving wheel 8, which is a whole seedling rope conveying method. The seedling rope introduction inclined plate 9 is only applicable to the case where the seedling wrapping operation area f is located obliquely below the seedling rope reversing conveyor belt 3. For details, please refer to the attached Fig.11 .

[0079] However, it should be noted that at this time, the two seedling rope introduction inclined plates 9 are arranged one above and one below, and a gap needs to be left between the lower end of the upper seedling rope introduction inclined plate 9 and the seedling wrapping operation area f to allow the seedling rope a to pass through, which may affect the straightness of the seedling rope a that slides down from the upper seedling rope introduction inclined plate 9.

[0080] Finally, the inclined plate 9 for introducing the seedling rope is also fixedly installed. It can replace the introduction pipe 5 and the branch pipe 6 and then be installed on the pipeline installation plate 13.

[0081] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. These are all non-creative modifications and are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
