Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kelp knotting processing, and particularly to a kelp knotting device. Background Art

[0002] As a widely consumed marine alga, kelp is crucial in the entire supply chain from harvesting in the ocean to the final consumer market, especially in the morphological processing and packaging transportation links. Freshly harvested kelp often appears in long strip form, which not only occupies a large amount of space, increasing the difficulty of packing and transportation, but also is easily damaged due to mutual friction and extrusion during handling, affecting product quality. To solve this problem, the kelp knotting technology came into being. After knotting, the volume of kelp is significantly reduced, making it easier to stack and transport. At the same time, it reduces losses during transportation and improves the convenience for consumers during use, such as being easier to pick up with chopsticks after cooking and maintaining good shape and taste during the cooking process.

[0003] However, traditional kelp knotting methods highly rely on manual labor and are mainly carried out manually by the winding method or the folding method. This method not only has a high labor intensity, consuming a large amount of human resources, but also has low efficiency and is difficult to meet the needs of modern production. With the development of automation technology, mechanical devices for kelp knotting have gradually emerged on the market, which have reduced the human burden to a certain extent and improved production efficiency.

[0004] However, the existing kelp knotting mechanical devices still face many challenges in practical applications. First of all, the devices often only optimize a certain link in the knotting process and lack the coherence and coordination of the overall process. This leads to problems such as insecure fixation and slipping of kelp during knotting in the whole process from cutting to knotting of kelp, seriously reducing the yield of kelp knots.

[0041] Among them, the movable cover 102 is rotatably arranged on the chassis 101, and the housing 103 is detachably arranged on the chassis 101.

[0042] It should be noted that the movable cover 102 rotates and opens / closes on the chassis 101 to protect the control components inside the chassis 101, and it is convenient to maintain the control components when the chassis 101 is opened. The housing 103 covers the top wall of the chassis 101, and the housing 103 is a transparent plastic housing, which is convenient to observe the progress of the internal kelp knot tying processing.

[0043] The feeding component 20 is arranged on the chassis 101. The feeding component 20 is used to cut the kelp into segments and complete the feeding. The feeding component 20 includes a fixing frame 201, a cutting mechanism 202, a translation mechanism 203, and a feeding mechanism 204.

[0044] Among them, the fixing frame 201 is arranged on the chassis 101, the cutting mechanism 202 is movably arranged on the fixing frame 201, and the cutting mechanism 202 is used to cut the kelp into segments. The translation mechanism 203 is arranged on the chassis 101, and the translation mechanism 203 is used to drive the placed kelp to move below the cutting mechanism 202. The feeding mechanism 204 is movably arranged on the fixing frame 201, and the feeding mechanism 204 is used to horizontally place the kelp to be knotted.

[0045] It should be noted that a slider is provided on the cutting mechanism 202, and a chute is provided on the fixing frame 201. The slider slides on the chute, so that the cutting mechanism 202 moves up and down on the fixing frame 201 and cuts the kelp. The translation mechanism 203 is arranged on the side of the fixed end of the cutting mechanism 202, and the movable end of the cutting mechanism 202 will not collide with the translation mechanism 203 when moving. The kelp to be processed is placed on the feeding mechanism 204, and through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism 204 with the translation mechanism 203 and the cutting mechanism 202 respectively, the kelp is cut into segments and the feeding is completed.

[0048] It should be noted that the pushing mechanism 307 pushes the bottom plate 301 and the components on the bottom plate 301 to move back and forth for adjustment, pushes the bottom plate 301 to move near the segmented kelp, and then clamps the kelp through the first clamping jaw 304 and the second clamping jaw 305. The clamping drives the first clamping jaw 304 to move closer to the second clamping jaw 305 through the spacing adjustment mechanism 302, so that the horizontal kelp drops into a U-shaped kelp. The rotation adjustment mechanism 303 operates to drive the second clamping jaw 305 to rotate 90°, so that the clamping opening faces upward, which is convenient for cooperating with the knotting assembly 40 to knot the kelp.

[0052] The pushing assembly 50 is disposed on the chassis 101 , and is used to push the knotted kelp onto the discharge hopper 404 .

[0053] It should be noted that the pushing assembly 50 pushes the knotted kelp so that the kelp is pushed off the knotting control mechanism 405 and unloaded through the unloading hopper 404.

[0054] Specifically, the steps for knotting the kelp by the kelp knotting equipment are as follows: first, the kelp is placed flat on the feeding mechanism 204, and the feeding mechanism 204 moves upward on the fixed frame 201, and then cooperates with the translation mechanism 203. The translation mechanism 203 drives the feeding mechanism 204 to move horizontally to the bottom of the cutting mechanism 202, and then the cutting mechanism 202 is operated to descend to cut the kelp into segments, and the segmented kelp moves as the driving mechanisms in the feeding assembly 20 are reset.

[0055] Then, the pushing mechanism 307 is operated to push the bottom plate 301 and the mechanisms on the bottom plate 301 to move, so that the first clamping jaw 304 and the second clamping jaw 305 are close to the kelp, and the first clamping jaw 304 and the second clamping jaw 305 clamp the kelp. Then, the spacing adjustment mechanism 302 is operated to drive the first clamping jaw 304 to move closer to the second clamping jaw 305, so that the horizontal kelp movement changes into a U shape, and the rotation adjustment mechanism 303 is operated to drive the second clamping jaw 305 to rotate 90°, so that the second clamping jaw 305 rotates to a horizontal clamping opening.

[0056] Then the transmission component 402 is operated, and the transmission component 402 pushes the knotting control mechanism 405 to move, and the knotting control mechanism 405 approaches the U-shaped kelp, and then the kelp is wrapped around the outer wall of the knotting control mechanism 405, and the knotting control mechanism 405 and the horizontal clamp are vertically matched, and the knotting control mechanism 405 clamps the kelp on the second clamping jaw 305, and then the knotting control mechanism 405 moves to cooperate with the kelp on the first clamping jaw 304 to complete the knotting operation. After the knotting is completed, the knotted kelp is pushed onto the discharge hopper 404 by the pushing assembly 50, which is convenient for kelp collection.

[0087] It should be noted that when the eighth driving component 40533 operates, it pushes the jaw control part 4054 to move, thereby driving the jaw control part 4054 to clamp the kelp. The transmission gear 40532 is meshed and connected with the sliding component 40523, and further drives the jaw driving part 4053 to rotate.

[0088] The jaw control part 4054 includes an outer housing 40541, a guiding bracket 40542 and a double jaw 40543.

[0089] Among them, the outer housing 40541 is arranged on the eighth driving component 40533, one end of the guiding bracket 40542 is arranged at the output end of the eighth driving component 40533, and the guiding bracket 40542 is movably arranged inside the outer housing 40541, and the double jaw 40543 is rotatably arranged at the other end of the guiding bracket 40542.

[0090] It should be noted that the outer housing 40541 is installed at the fixed end of the jaw driving part 4053, the guiding bracket 40542 is driven by the eighth driving component 40533 to move, the guiding bracket 40542 is connected to the double jaw 40543 through a shaft, and controls the double jaw 40543 to open and close to clamp the kelp.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 11 shown, the pusher assembly 50 includes a ninth driving component 501, a push plate 502 and a pusher plate 503.

[0092] Among them, the ninth driving component 501 is arranged on the fixed frame 401, the push plate 502 is arranged at the output end of the ninth driving component 501, there are multiple groups of pusher plates 503, the multiple groups of pusher plates 503 are linearly arranged on the push plate 502, and each group of pusher plates 503 is correspondingly arranged outside the outer housing 40541.

[0093] It should be noted that the ninth driving component 501 is a hydraulic cylinder, the output end of the ninth driving component 501 is connected to the push plate 502 through a shaft to push the push plate 502 to move, and the pusher plate 503 below the push plate 502 fits outside the outer housing 40541. Then, after the kelp is knotted, the knotted kelp is pushed down and dropped onto the discharge hopper 404, and is collected by sliding through the discharge hopper 404.

[0094] Specifically, the steps of tying kelp by the kelp tying device are as follows: First, place the kelp flat on the feeding mechanism 204, operate the third driving component 2041 to drive the movable bracket 2042 to move up and down on the fixed frame 201. Pushing the movable bracket 2042 upward causes the placement plate 2043 to move upward and engage with the limit clamping plate 2032 for fixation. Subsequently, operate the second driving component 2031 in the translation mechanism 203, and the limit clamping plate 2032 drives the placement plate 2043 to move horizontally, so that the material trough 2044 is located directly below the cutting component 2023. Then, operate the first driving component 2021 to drive the cutting component 2023 to move downward to cut and segment the kelp.

[0095] The steps of clamping and cutting the segmented kelp are as follows: Operate the pushing mechanism 307. When the second transmission component 3071 operates, it drives the bottom plate 301 to move, bringing the first clamping jaw 304 and the second clamping jaw 305 closer to the segmented kelp after cutting. Then, clamp and fix the kelp with the first clamping jaw 304 and the second clamping jaw 305. Operate the spacing adjustment mechanism 302. The fourth driving component 3022 drives the connecting plate 3023 to move, and the connecting plate 3023 synchronously drives the transmission plate 3024 to move. The transmission plate 3024 drives the first clamping jaw 304 to move, thereby adjusting the spacing between the first clamping jaw 304 and the second clamping jaw 305, and changing the movement of the horizontal kelp into a U shape. Operate the rotation adjustment mechanism 303. The fifth driving component 3031 drives the transmission shaft rod 3033 to move through the fastening clamp block 3032. During the movement of the transmission shaft rod 3033, it drives the connecting rod 3034 to rotate, thereby driving the second clamping jaw 305 to rotate 90°, and making the second clamping jaw 305 rotate into a horizontal clamping opening.

[0096] The steps of tying a knot for the clamped kelp are as follows: Operate the transmission component 402. The transmission component 402 pushes the knot-tying control mechanism 405 to move. The knot-tying control mechanism 405 approaches the U-shaped kelp. Operate the eighth driving component 40533. When the eighth driving component 40533 operates, it pushes the guiding bracket 40542 to move and controls the double clamping jaws 40543 to pass through the U-shaped kelp, and the double clamping jaws 40543 open to drag the kelp to the outside of the outer cover 40541. Operate the seventh driving component 40521 to drive the sliding component 40523 to move on the slide rail 40524 through the fastening block 40522. The sliding component 40523 is meshed and connected with the transmission gear 40532, so as to drive the double clamping jaws 40543 and the outer cover 40541 to rotate, and wind the kelp around the outer cover 40541 for one circle. Operate the transmission component 402 to drive the knot-tying control mechanism 405 to move, and make the double clamping jaws 40543 and the second clamping jaw 305 of the horizontal clamping opening vertically cooperate. The double clamping jaws 40543 clamp the kelp driven by the eighth driving component 40533, while the second clamping jaw 305 disengages from the kelp. At this time, both ends of the kelp are clamped by the double clamping jaws 40543 and the first clamping jaw 304. When the transmission component 402 is driven to move, the double clamping jaws 40543 move in the opposite direction to the first clamping jaw 304, so that the kelp passes through the kelp loop on the outer cover 40541 to complete the knotting.

[0097] After the knotting is completed, the knot-tied kelp is pushed onto the discharge hopper 404 by the material pushing assembly 50. The output end of the ninth driving component 501 is connected to the push plate 502 through a shaft to push the push plate 502 to move. The material pushing plate 503 below the push plate 502 fits on the outside of the outer cover 40541. Then, after the kelp knotting is completed, the knot-tied kelp is pushed and dropped onto the discharge hopper 404, and slides through the discharge hopper 404 to complete the collection.

[0098] In summary, for the kelp knot-tying device of the embodiment of the present application, the kelp is successively cut and segmented, and then clamped and fixed by two clamping jaws with adjustable spacing to ensure the stability of the kelp during the knotting process. Then, the kelp is wound and knotted, effectively improving the yield and processing efficiency of kelp knotting.
