DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 A turtle fry counting device comprises a base 1, a rotating column 2 rotatably arranged at the top of the base 1, and a conveyor belt 12 arranged at one side of the base 1, a plurality of spacing plates 13 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the conveyor belt 12, only one turtle fry is placed between adjacent spacing plates 13 (staff need to place them one by one), and baffles 14 are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 12 to prevent the fry from falling off; further, a driving motor 15 is installed at the top of the base 1, and a driving gear 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 15, and a driven gear ring 25 meshing with the driving gear 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating column 2.
[0028] It should be noted that: the conveyor belt 12 rotates intermittently, and the driving motor 15 drives the rotating column 2 to rotate intermittently through the driving gear 24 and the driven gear ring 25. When the rotating column 2 drives the conveyor disc 8 to rotate to the conveyor belt 12 through the conveyor plate 26, the conveyor belt 12 starts to move, and the turtle fry between the adjacent spacing plates 13 are transported to the conveyor disc 8, completing the function of automatically loading the turtle fry.
[0029] A plurality of conveying plates 26 are distributed around the surface of the rotating column 2 near the top, and a weighing component is disposed at the top of the conveying plate 26.
[0030] An active visual detection mechanism is provided on one side of the base 1, and a plurality of support arms 4 are provided around the base 1, and the tops of the plurality of support arms 4 are respectively fixedly connected with an insufficient activity counting channel 3, an insufficient weight counting channel 5, a combined counting channel 6 and a good product counting channel 7;
[0031] The weighing assembly includes a rotating amplifying plate 18 rotatably arranged on the top of a conveying plate 26, one end of the rotating amplifying plate 18 is fixedly connected to a counterweight block 19, the other end of the rotating amplifying plate 18 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped block, and a conveying disc 8 is rotatably arranged on the inner side of the U-shaped block through a hinge block; further, a flipping motor 22 is installed on the side wall of the U-shaped block, and the output end of the flipping motor 22 is fixedly connected to the hinge block; further, the top of the conveying plate 26 is fixedly connected to relatively arranged trigger plates 16, electrode blocks 17 are installed on the opposite surfaces between the trigger plates 16, and a current sensor 21 and a power supply 23 are installed on the other side of the trigger plate 16, and a through hole is opened inside the rotating amplifying plate 18, and a power supply block 20 is arranged inside the through hole.
[0032] It should be noted that: when the turtle fry falls on the conveying tray 8, using the "seesaw" principle, the turtle fry will press down the conveying tray 8, thereby causing the other end of the rotating amplifying plate 18 to be tilted up. Depending on the weight of the turtle fry, the other end of the rotating amplifying plate 18 is tilted to a different height, that is, the moving distance of the power-on block 20 inside the rotating amplifying plate 18 is different. Only when the weight of the turtle fry is qualified, the power-on block 20 will contact the electrode block 17. At this time, the power supply 23 will transmit current, and the current sensor 21 will stably receive the current signal (lasting for more than a few seconds). The current sensor 21 will feedback the signal that the weight of the turtle fry is qualified to the controller 11.
[0033] The active visual detection mechanism comprises a mounting plate 9 , a display screen 10 is mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 9 , and a controller 11 is mounted at the bottom end of the mounting plate 9 .
[0034] It should be noted that the display screen 10 is used to display the number of good quality turtle fry, unqualified turtle fry in weight, unqualified turtle fry in activity, and turtle fry between the two (unqualified in weight and unqualified in activity).
[0035] Furthermore, the bottom ends of the insufficient activity counting channel 3, the insufficient weight counting channel 5, the combined counting channel 6 and the good product counting channel 7 are threadedly connected with a recovery bag 27 for recovering fry through a threaded ring.
[0036] It should be noted that: by rotating the threaded ring, it can be removed from the bottom of the counting channel, which is convenient for recycling various types of soft-shelled turtle fry.
[0037] Furthermore, aligned openings are provided at upper and lower positions on the side walls of the insufficient activity counting channel 3, the insufficient weight counting channel 5, the combined counting channel 6 and the good product counting channel 7, and a mounting box 301 is fixedly connected to the opening, and a corresponding photoelectric sensor 302 is installed inside the mounting box 301.
[0038] It should be noted that when the soft-shelled turtle fry slides inside the insufficient activity counting channel 3, the insufficient weight counting channel 5, the combined counting channel 6 and the good product counting channel 7, the signal of the opposing photoelectric sensor 302 will be blocked when passing through the opposing photoelectric sensor 302. At this time, the opposing photoelectric sensor 302 feeds back to the controller 11, the counting module inside the controller 11 counts, and the controller 11 sends the counting result to the display screen 10 for display.
[0039] Furthermore, a camera is installed on the top of the mounting plate 9 , and the camera is arranged facing the conveying tray 8 .
[0040] It should be noted that the camera can record the degree of struggle of the turtle on the conveying plate 26 and send it to the controller 11. The controller 11 compares it with the standard activity level to complete the automatic screening function of the turtle's activity.
[0041] When the present invention is in use, the controller 11 controls the driving motor 15 to work, the driving motor 15 drives the driving gear 24 to rotate intermittently, the driving gear 24 drives the driven gear ring 25 to rotate intermittently, the driven gear ring 25 drives the rotating column 2 to rotate intermittently, the rotating column 2 drives the conveying plate 26 to rotate intermittently, and then drives the conveying disc 8 to rotate intermittently. When the conveying disc 8 rotates to the conveyor belt 12, the controller 11 controls the conveyor belt 12 to rotate intermittently, and the turtle fry between the adjacent spacing plates 13 is conveyed to the conveying disc 8. When the turtle fry falls on the conveying disc 8, the turtle fry is moved by the "seesaw" According to the principle of "plate", the turtle fry will press the conveying plate 8 downward, thereby causing the other end of the rotating amplifying plate 18 to be tilted up. According to the weight of the turtle fry, the other end of the rotating amplifying plate 18 is tilted up to a different height, that is, the moving distance of the power-on block 20 inside the rotating amplifying plate 18 is different. Only when the weight of the turtle fry is qualified, the power-on block 20 will contact the electrode block 17. At this time, the power supply 23 will transmit current, and the current sensor 21 will stably receive the current signal (for more than a few seconds). The current sensor 21 feeds back a signal that the weight of the turtle fry is qualified to the controller 11.
[0042] When the turtle fry is transported to the bottom of the camera, the camera will take a video of the struggle of the turtle fry inside the conveyor tray 8 and send it to the controller 11. The controller 11 compares the struggle with the standard to achieve the detection and screening function of the activity of the turtle fry. If the activity of the turtle fry is qualified, the controller 11 sets the working time for the flip motor 22 (that is, the conveyor tray 8 starts working when it rotates to the good product counting channel 7). If the activity of the turtle fry is unqualified, the controller 11 also sets the working time for the flip motor 22 (that is, the conveyor tray 8 starts working when it rotates to the insufficient activity counting channel 3).
[0043] Similarly, if the weight of the turtle fry is unqualified but the activity is qualified, the controller 11 will set the working time for the flipping motor 22, that is, the conveyor disc 8 starts working when it rotates to the underweight counting channel 5; if the weight of the turtle fry is unqualified and the activity is unqualified, the controller 11 will set the working time for the flipping motor 22, that is, the conveyor disc 8 starts working when it rotates to the counting channel 6;
[0044] When the turtle fry slides inside the insufficient activity counting channel 3, the insufficient weight counting channel 5, the combined counting channel 6 and the good product counting channel 7, when passing through the opposite photoelectric sensor 302, its signal will be blocked. At this time, the opposite photoelectric sensor 302 feeds back to the controller 11, and the counting module inside the controller 11 counts. The controller 11 sends the counting result to the display screen 10 for display, so as to count the number of various types of turtle fry;
[0045] Finally, the breeding staff removes the recovery bag 27 at the bottom of each counting channel by rotating the threaded ring, and recovers various types of soft-shelled turtle fry.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
