Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of seafood processing equipment, in particular to a kelp knotting device. Background Art

[0002] At present, kelp knotting is basically done manually. Due to the high salt content in wet kelp, workers often experience finger deformation and nail loss after working for half a year. In order to get rid of manual kelp knotting and improve the degree of automation, a kelp knotting machine with simple structure and high automation is now designed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a kelp knotting device, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers, improve the degree of automation, and improve work efficiency.

[0004] The kelp knotting device according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a frame, a kelp winding device and a kelp clamp device.

[0005] The kelp knotting device according to the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: workers lay kelp strips with a width of about 30 mm flat on the feed inlet of the kelp knotting machine, and the knotting device automatically knots the kelp. One person can operate ten kelp knotting machines at the same time, and the efficiency is significantly improved.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, 102 on the frame 100 is fixed with two guide rails 101, and the winding device 200 and the kelp clip device 300 slide up and down on the two guide rails 101. The frame 100 is fixed with a motor 103, and the motor 103 is connected to a crank 104. The crank 104 is hinged with a connecting rod 105, and the other end of the connecting rod 105 is hinged with the winding device 200, driving the winding device 200 to move upward or downward (according to the Figure 1 direction) to achieve the kelp winding cross.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the winding device has a winding tube 201, and a fixed clamping block 202 for clamping the end of the kelp is fixed on the outer surface of the winding tube 201. The winding tube 201 is a hollow structure. One end of the kelp is fixed to the fixed clamping block 202 of the winding tube 201 and is wound more than one circle. It is wound around the protruding strip 210 of the winding tube 201, and there is a notch 203 on the winding tube 201. The tail of the kelp falls into the notch 203 and forms a straight strip shape. The winding tube 201 has a filament 209 connected to the outer surface of the winding tube 201 at both ends; near the notch 203; perpendicular to the kelp plane. The kelp clamp device 300 extends from the tube mouth of the winding tube 201, and the tube mouth of the winding tube 201 has a kelp channel 211 connected to the notch 203. The clamp 301 clamps the kelp and exits through the kelp channel 211. The kelp on the side of the clamp 301 is blocked and cut by the filament 209, and continues to exit to form a kelp knot. The other end of the winding tube 201 is connected to a synchronous wheel 212, which rotates with the motor 204 through a belt to wind the kelp. The winding tube 201 is constrained by a bearing 205. The center of the winding tube 201 passes through a movable pressure block 206, which is driven by a cylinder 207 to rise and tighten the kelp head and fall and loosen the kelp head. The movable pressure block 206 is connected to a cylinder floating joint 208, and the rotation of the movable pressure block 206 converts the cylinder 207 to stop rotating through the cylinder floating joint 208.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the kelp clip device 300 is composed of a clip 301 that can be opened and closed and a cylinder 302 that pushes the clip to open and close. The clip 301 is driven by the cylinder 106 to slide up and down on the frame rail 101 to enter or exit the winding tube 201. The head of the clip 301 is raised to prevent the kelp from sliding out of the clip, and the clip 301 is driven by 302 to open and close. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The kelp is manually laid flat in the feed port of the kelp knotting machine, and the kelp head falls between the fixed clamp block 202 and the movable clamp block 206 of the winding tube 201. The cylinder 207 pushes the movable clamp block 206 to move and clamp the kelp head. The winding tube 201 rotates counterclockwise (by pressing Figure 1 The winding tube 201 rotates one circle, and the motor 103 drives the winding device 200 to move downward. The winding tube continues to rotate half a circle, and the motor 103 drives the winding device 200 to move upward, so that the kelp crosses and falls into the gap 203 of the winding tube 201.

[0020] The kelp clip device 300 is pushed into the winding tube 201 by the 106 cylinders, and the clip 301 of the kelp clip device 300 is driven to open by the cylinder 302 at the same time. The clip 301 is driven by the cylinder 302 to clamp the kelp strip, and the protrusion of the head of the moving piece of the clip 301 can prevent the kelp from sliding out. The kelp clip device 300 withdraws. During the withdrawal process, the kelp on the side of the clip 301 is blocked and cut off by the filament 209, and the kelp on the other side of the clip 301 passes through the kelp channel 211. When the cylinder 106 stroke is withdrawn, the kelp knot is completed, and the clip 301 is driven to open by the cylinder 302; at the same time, the cylinder rod 207 retracts into the cylinder. At this time, both ends of the kelp are released, and the kelp knot falls off and falls into the container, and a cycle is completed.
