[0030] The shape detection mechanism 3 is located above the horizontal conveying mechanism 2. The shape detection mechanism 3 is used to detect the shape of the belly and back of the large yellow croaker respectively.
[0031] The controller is used to receive information sent by the shape detection mechanism 3 and generate a fish belly punching feed table and a fish back punching feed table;
[0032] The two sets of drilling mechanisms 4 drill holes in the belly and back of the fish respectively according to the fish belly drilling feed table and the fish back drilling feed table;
[0033] The pickling unit 5 is used to store and pickle the perforated large yellow croaker.
[0034] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The continuous production device for marinating large yellow croaker mainly includes a horizontal conveying mechanism 2, a shape detection mechanism 3, a punching mechanism 4, and a marinating mechanism 5. The horizontal conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey horizontally placed large yellow croaker at a preset speed. When the large yellow croaker passes under the shape detection mechanism 3, the shape detection mechanism 3 collects the shape of the belly and back of the large yellow croaker, which can be recorded in coordinate form and sent to the controller. The controller, based on the received data information, combined with the size specifications of the large yellow croaker, marinating requirements, and the feeding speed of the horizontal conveying mechanism 2, generates a belly punching feed table and a back punching feed table after analysis and calculation. According to the belly punching feed table and the back punching feed table, the controller controls the two sets of punching mechanisms 4 respectively. The fish belly and back are perforated using a contour-following process, ensuring consistent perforation depth and density for fish of the same size. The perforation depth and density can be adjusted for fish of different sizes. Since the belly and back have high fat content, the perforation and marinating effects in these areas directly impact the overall flavor of the fish. The perforation device and method of this invention facilitate thorough flavor penetration, improve marinating results, and ensure consistent product flavor. It also meets the perforation precision requirements for different fish sizes and shapes, avoiding damage to the fish meat and improving product quality. Furthermore, it enables automated operation and intelligent management, increasing the processing efficiency of large yellow croaker, saving labor costs, and simplifying equipment operation and maintenance. It can be matched with a control system that includes learning capabilities to meet different processing needs.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, the shape detection mechanism 3 is used to detect the coordinates of the belly and back of the large yellow croaker in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the horizontal conveying mechanism 2.
[0036] As can be seen from the above description, taking one side of the horizontal conveying mechanism 2 as a reference, the shape detection mechanism 3 identifies the distance of each part of the belly and back of the large yellow croaker from the reference side, and records it as the coordinates of the belly and back of the large yellow croaker relative to the reference side. The coordinate position is the accurate feed position of the punching mechanism 4.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the shape detection mechanism 3 includes a detection camera 31, which is vertically and vertically mounted on the frame 1.
[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the viewing angle and illumination of the detection camera 31 are aligned with the upper surface of the horizontal conveying mechanism 2, and the focus is achieved by adjusting the height of the detection camera 31 to ensure clear image acquisition.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the two sets of punching mechanisms 4 punch holes in the belly and back of the fish according to the fish belly punching feed table and the fish back punching feed table, in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the horizontal conveying mechanism 2.
[0040] As can be seen from the above description, the fish body is placed horizontally on the horizontal conveying mechanism 2, and the two sets of punching mechanisms 4 can be fed synchronously from both sides to the middle of the fish body. They can squeeze and punch at the same time, thereby improving the punching quality and avoiding displacement of the fish body.
[0041] In an optional embodiment, the punching mechanism 4 includes a pneumatic feed seat 41, a punching motor 42, and a needle roller 43. The pneumatic feed seat 41 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the horizontal conveying mechanism 2. The punching motor 42 is mounted on the pneumatic feed seat 41 and is connected to the needle roller 43. The needle roller 43 is rotatably mounted on the pneumatic feed seat 41, and the surface of the needle roller 43 is provided with needles 44.
[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the pneumatic feed seat 41 uses air pressure to control the feed amount, and the punching motor 42 is used to control the direction and speed of the needle roller 43. While the fish body is being conveyed, the needle roller 43 rotates to complete the punching operation on the fish body.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, the horizontal conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying motor, a conveying roller assembly, and a conveyor belt 21. The conveying motor and the conveying roller assembly are both mounted on the frame 1 and are connected. The conveyor belt 21 is mounted on the conveying roller assembly.
[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the conveyor motor is used to drive the conveyor roller group to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 21 to feed the horizontally placed large yellow croaker at a preset speed.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the conveyor belt 21 is provided with a rubber layer, and the surface of the rubber layer is provided with anti-slip grooves.
[0046] As can be seen from the above description, the rubber layer has a protective and anti-slip function to avoid damage to the fish meat, and the anti-slip groove further prevents the large yellow croaker from slipping on the conveyor belt 21.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the pickling mechanism 5 includes a pickling tank 51, which is connected to the discharge end of the horizontal conveying mechanism 2, and contains a pickling liquid.
[0048] As can be seen from the above description, the large yellow croaker after being perforated is sent into the pickling tank 51 and pickled for different times depending on the perforation situation.
[0049] In an optional embodiment, the pickling tank 51 is equipped with an ultrasonic vibration generator.
[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the marinating effect of large yellow croaker is improved by using an ultrasonic vibration generator.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, a sorting mechanism 6 is also included. The sorting mechanism 6 is mounted on the frame 1 and has two or more discharge ports, each of which is connected to a set of horizontal conveying mechanisms 2.
[0052] As can be seen from the above description, the function of the sorting mechanism 6 is to classify the fish according to their size and send the sorted large yellow croakers of the same size into the punching mechanism 4 in the same batch, which helps to improve production continuity, ensure processing accuracy, and improve efficiency.

The needle roller 43 is cylindrical in shape, and its surface is provided with needles 44 along both the circumferential and generatric directions. The needle roller 43 and the needles 44 can be designed as hollow interconnected structures, and an injection pipe can be connected to the needle roller 43 to provide degreasing liquid or other substances for injection during punching, which is beneficial for improving flavor absorption. The horizontal conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying motor, a conveying roller assembly, and a conveyor belt 21. The conveying motor and the conveying roller assembly are both mounted on the frame 1 and connected. The conveyor belt 21 is mounted on the conveying roller assembly.
