Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kelp processing, and more particularly, to an intelligent kelp drying device and an intelligent drying method. Background Art

[0002] As is well known, kelp is a kind of seafood with high nutritional value. Kelp is a brown alga with a brown thallus, and it consists of a holdfast, a stipe, and a blade. The holdfast is forked and branched to attach to the seabed rock; the stipe is short and thick, cylindrical; the blade is long and narrow, ribbon-shaped.

[0003] At present, there is less naturally growing kelp, and it mainly relies on artificial cultivation. The method of artificial cultivation is to set up multiple rows of cultivation racks composed of several floats in the sea area, and several seedling ropes are tied between every two rows of cultivation racks, and the kelp grows on the seedling ropes. After the kelp matures, fishermen use small boats to fish the kelp out of the sea water, then transport it ashore, and then process it.

[0004] Fresh kelp is usually dried and processed into dried kelp. The drying process can refer to the patent with the authorization announcement number CN216668237U and the patent with the authorization announcement number CN216662198U. The drying process is usually carried out in a drying room. A conveying chain capable of moving the kelp is arranged in the drying room to achieve continuous batch operation; during the operation process, the operator manually picks up the fresh kelp to be processed and hangs it on the hook or sling of the conveying device. The hook or sling is at a certain height from the ground to ensure that the fresh kelp is naturally unfolded in the vertical direction after being hung, that is, the fresh kelp is suspended in mid-air. Since the fresh kelp to be processed is large in volume, heavy in weight, and has a smooth surface, the operation of the worker is very inconvenient, time-consuming and laborious, with a large labor intensity, low efficiency, and high cost.

A sensor can be provided for the second follower type clip opening and closing driving device 600, and the setting method of the sensor is the same as that of the sensor 312, and the function is also the same as that of the sensor 312.

[0080] As Figures 25 - 29As shown in the figure, the automatic feeding device 400 includes a vertical column 401, a horizontal crossbeam 402, a rotating shaft 403, a rotating support plate 404, a winch connecting rod 405, a winch 406, a steel wire rope 408, a rotating drive cylinder 409, a connecting piece 410, a drive chain 411, a large sprocket 412, a small sprocket 413, an upper bearing seat 414, a lower bearing seat 415, a one-way bearing 416, and a jaw 417. The horizontal crossbeam 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical column 401. The upper bearing seat 414 is connected to the horizontal crossbeam 402, and the lower bearing seat 415 is connected to the horizontal crossbeam 402. The upper bearing seat 414 is provided with a bearing, and the lower bearing seat 415 is provided with a bearing. The rotating shaft 403 is connected to the bearing in the upper bearing seat 414 and the rotating shaft 403 is connected to the bearing in the lower bearing seat 415. The rotating shaft 403 can rotate under the support of the upper bearing seat 414 and the lower bearing seat 415. The rotating support plate 404 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 403. The winch connecting rod 405 is fixedly connected to the rotating support plate 404. The winch 406 is fixedly installed on the winch connecting rod 405. The winch 406 is provided with a winding wheel 407. The steel wire rope 408 is wound around the winding wheel 407. The rotating drive cylinder 409 is connected to the horizontal crossbeam 402. The small sprocket 413 is rotatably connected to the horizontal crossbeam 402. The large sprocket 412 is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 403 through a one-way bearing 416. The drive chain 411 is connected between the large sprocket 412 and the small sprocket 413. The telescopic rod of the rotating drive cylinder 409 is fixedly connected to the drive chain 411 through the connecting piece 410. The jaw 417 is connected to the end of the steel wire rope 408. In the figure, the telescopic rod of the rotating drive cylinder 409 is shown in the extended state. When the telescopic rod of the rotating drive cylinder 409 retracts, the telescopic rod pulls the drive chain 411 backward through the connecting piece 410. At this time, the one-way bearing 416 is in a locked state, and the large sprocket 412 rotates to drive the rotating shaft 403 to rotate. The rotating shaft 403 rotates to drive the rotating support plate 404 and the winch connecting rod 405 to rotate, thereby causing the winch 406 to rotate by a certain angle. Then the telescopic rod of the rotating drive cylinder 409 extends, and the telescopic rod pulls the drive chain 411 forward through the connecting piece 410. At this time, the one-way bearing 416 is in an unlocked state, and the large sprocket 412 rotates while the rotating shaft 403 remains stationary. Therefore, the reciprocating movement of the telescopic rod of the rotating drive cylinder 409 can cause the winch 406 to rotate in one direction on the horizontal plane, that is, when the telescopic rod of the rotating drive cylinder 409 retracts, the winch 406 rotates by a certain angle, and then after a period of time, when the telescopic rod of the rotating drive cylinder 409 retracts again, the winch 406 rotates by a certain angle. Multiple winches 406 are provided. In the figure, 6 winches are shown as an example. The 6 winches are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The 6 winches correspond to 6 steel wire ropes, and the 6 steel wire ropes correspond to 6 jaws.

[0081] The gripper 417 is used to grip the fresh kelp to be dried. When the winch 406 operates and the winding wheel 407 rotates to release the steel wire rope 408 downward, the gripper 417 descends close to the ground, and when the winding wheel 407 rotates in reverse, the gripper 417 ascends. To more accurately determine the number of rotations of the winding wheel 407 in the forward or reverse direction, refer to Figure 28 , a screw support 418, a screw 419, a nut seat 420, a guiding optical axis 421, a base 422, a limit sensor 1 423, and a limit sensor 2 424 can be set. The screw 419 is rotatably connected to the screw support 418, the nut seat 420 is connected and cooperated with the screw 419. Two guiding optical axes 421 are connected between the screw supports 418, and the two guiding optical axes 421 pass through the nut seat 420. The nut seat 420 can slide along the guiding optical axis 421. The screw support 418 is fixedly installed on the base 422, and the limit sensor 1 423 and the limit sensor 2 424 are installed on the side of the screw support 418. The base 422 is fixedly installed on the winch connecting rod 405. The central axis of the winding wheel 407 is connected to the end of the screw 419. When the winding wheel 407 rotates, the central axis of the winding wheel 407 drives the screw 419 to rotate, and the nut seat 420 moves. When the nut seat 420 moves to the position of the limit sensor 1 423, the limit sensor 1 423 feeds back a signal to the controller, and the controller stops the winch according to this signal; when the nut seat 420 moves to the position of the limit sensor 2 424, the limit sensor 2 424 feeds back a signal to the controller, and the controller stops the winch according to this signal.

[0082] Refer to Figure 29 , a specific implementation structure of the gripper 417 can be: including a finger cylinder 417-1, a first clamping plate 417-2, and a second clamping plate 417-3. The finger cylinder 417-1 is provided with a finger 1 and a finger 2. The first clamping plate 417-2 is connected to the finger 1, and the second clamping plate 417-3 is connected to the finger 2. The end of the steel wire rope 408 is connected to the cylinder body of the finger cylinder 417-1. As shown in the figure, the finger 1 and the finger 2 are in a closed state. At this time, the first clamping plate 417-2 and the second clamping plate 417-3 are closed. When the finger 1 and the finger 2 open, the first clamping plate 417-2 and the second clamping plate 417-3 open. When the first clamping plate 417-2 and the second clamping plate 417-3 are closed, they clamp the kelp horizontally, and the first clamping plate 417-2 and the second clamping plate 417-3 are located in the horizontal plane.

[0083] It should be noted that the specific structure of the gripper 417 can also be any other mechanism that can clamp the kelp, such as a mechanically opened and closed gripper (neither pneumatic nor electric), such as an electrically driven gripper.

[0084] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 8, the winch of the automatic feeding device 400 is close to the first follow-up type clip opening and closing driving device 300.

[0085] As Figure 30 , Figure 31 , the automatic discharging device 700 includes a belt conveyor 701, a lifting mechanism 702, a rotary cylinder 703, a suction cup connecting plate 704, suction cups 705, and a cylinder 706. The lifting mechanism 702 is fixedly installed on the frame of the belt conveyor 701. The rotary cylinder 703 is connected to the lifting mechanism 702. The lifting mechanism 702 can drive the rotary cylinder 703 to rise or fall. The cylinder 706 is connected to the output end of the rotary cylinder 703. When the rotary cylinder 703 rotates 90°, the cylinder 706 can be flipped 90°. The suction cup connecting plate 704 is connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder 706. A plurality of suction cups 705 are connected to the suction cup connecting plate 704. The belt conveyor 701 is provided with a conveyor belt 701-1. The lifting mechanism 702 can adopt a ball screw linear module. The rotary cylinder 703 is fixed on the slider of the ball screw linear module. As shown in the figure, the state of the automatic discharging device 700 is that the telescopic rod of the cylinder 706 extends, and the suction cup connecting plate 704 is located in the vertical plane.

[0086] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 , the automatic discharging device 700 is close to the second follow-up type clip opening and closing driving device 600, and the suction cup connecting plate 704 is located below the second follow-up type clip opening and closing driving device 600.

[0087] The working process of the above-mentioned intelligent kelp drying equipment will be specifically introduced below:

[0088] In the first step, prepare fresh kelp to be dried, place the fresh kelp under the automatic feeding device 400. Operator A stands on the ground, and operator B stands on the platform 500.

[0089] In the second step, the first winch 406 rotates forward to release the steel wire rope. The corresponding jaw 417 descends to operator A. Then, the jaw 417 is opened. Operator A picks up a piece of fresh kelp and places it at the jaw 417. Then, the jaw 417 is closed to clamp the fresh kelp. For example, the first clamping plate 417-2 and the second clamping plate 417-3 can clamp the upper middle part of the fresh kelp in the horizontal direction.

[0090] In the third step, the first winch 406 rotates in reverse to retract the steel wire rope. The corresponding jaw 417 rises. The jaw 417 drives the first piece of fresh kelp to rise to a position close to the first follow-up type clip opening and closing driving device 300.

[0091] Step 4: The telescopic rod of the rotation driving cylinder 409 of the automatic feeding device 400 retracts, causing the first winch 406 to rotate by a certain angle, further enabling the gripper 417 to bring the first fresh kelp closer to the first follow-up type clip opening and closing driving device 300; the telescopic rod of the rotation driving cylinder 409 extends.

[0092] Step 5: The operator B on the platform 500 performs a transfer operation on the first fresh kelp.

[0093] Step S501: In the initial state of the first follow-up type clip opening and closing driving device 300, the first horizontal rodless cylinder 301 is not supplied with compressed air (the moving block 301-1 can move freely), the telescopic rod of the first vertical cylinder 302 is retracted, the two fingers of the left finger cylinder 305 are in the open state, the two fingers of the right finger cylinder 306 are in the open state, the telescopic rod of the first blocking cylinder 307 is extended, the first blocking block 308 is located above the suspension chain 204, and the first blocking block 308 is located below the track composed of the first square tube 203-1 and the second square tube 203-2, as Figure 15 and Figure 16 shown.

[0094] Step S502: As the suspension chain 204 moves forward, the clip is in the closed state initially. When the clip moves below the first follow-up type clip opening and closing driving device 300, the first blocking block 308 blocks in front of the connecting rod 210. The connecting rod 210 touches the first blocking block 308 forward and pushes the first blocking block 308 forward. Then, the first blocking cylinder connecting bracket 303 moves forward (the moving block 301-1 moves forward), and the forward movement sensor 312 of the first blocking cylinder connecting bracket 303 immediately generates a signal and feeds the signal back to the controller; the first blocking cylinder connecting bracket 303, the first vertical cylinder 302, the first finger cylinder connecting frame 304, the left finger cylinder 305, and the right finger cylinder 306 all move forward simultaneously, that is, they move synchronously with the suspension chain 204.

[0095] Step S503: Next, the controller instructs the telescopic rod of the first vertical cylinder 302 to extend, thereby driving the left finger cylinder 305 and the right finger cylinder 306 to descend. The two fingers of the left finger cylinder 305 are located on both sides of the top of the clip, and the two fingers of the right finger cylinder 306 are also located on both sides of the top of the clip, as Figure 32 and Figure 33 shown;

[0096] Step S504, next, the controller commands the left finger cylinder 305 and the right finger cylinder 306 to act simultaneously. The two fingers of the left finger cylinder 305 close, and the two fingers of the right finger cylinder 306 close, thereby clamping the top of the clip, and further opening the closed clip to make the clip in an open state.

[0097] Step S505, next, operator B moves the first fresh kelp to the open jaws.

[0098] Step S506, next, operator B steps on the foot switch, and the foot switch sends a corresponding signal to the controller. The controller commands the two fingers of the left finger cylinder 305 to open and the two fingers of the right finger cylinder 306 to open, thereby closing the open clip, and then the clip clamps the kelp (for example, the clip can clamp the top of the fresh kelp).

[0099] Step S507, next, open the jaws corresponding to the first winch.

[0100] Step S508, next, the telescopic rod of the first blocking cylinder 307 retracts, causing the first blocking block 308 to move backward and withdraw. The first blocking block 308 no longer blocks in front of the connecting rod 210; the telescopic rod of the first vertical cylinder 302 retracts, causing the left finger cylinder 305 and the right finger cylinder 306 to rise to the initial position; while the telescopic rod of the first vertical cylinder 302 retracts, compressed air is supplied to the first horizontal rodless cylinder 301, and the first horizontal rodless cylinder 301 acts to move the moving block 301-1 backward to the initial position. At this time, the first blocking cylinder connecting bracket 303, the first vertical cylinder 302, the first finger cylinder connecting bracket 304, the left finger cylinder 305, and the right finger cylinder 306 all move backward to the initial position.

[0101] Step S509, the telescopic rod of the first blocking cylinder 307 extends, causing the first blocking block 308 to move forward; the first blocking block 308 is ready to block the next connecting rod 210. At this time, the transfer of the first fresh kelp is completed.

[0102] Sixth step, while performing the above fifth step (while operator B on the platform 500 is operating), the second winch rotates forward to release the steel wire rope, and the corresponding jaws descend to operator A. Operator A clamps the second fresh kelp with the jaws, the second winch rotates in reverse to retract the steel wire rope, and the corresponding jaws rise, and the jaws carry the second fresh kelp up to near the first follow-up clip opening and closing drive device 300.

[0103] Step 7: The telescopic rod of the rotation drive cylinder 409 of the automatic feeding device 400 retracts, causing the second winch to rotate by a certain angle, further enabling the gripper to bring the second fresh kelp closer to the first follow-up clip opening and closing drive device 300; the telescopic rod of the rotation drive cylinder 409 extends.

[0104] Step 8: Perform the above-mentioned fifth step, and the operator B on the platform 500 performs a transfer operation on the second fresh kelp.

[0105] While the operator B on the platform 500 is operating on the second fresh kelp, the third winch rotates forward to release the steel wire rope, and the corresponding gripper descends to the operator A. The operator A clamps the third fresh kelp with the gripper, and the third winch rotates in reverse to retract the steel wire rope, and the corresponding gripper brings the third fresh kelp up to a position close to the first follow-up clip opening and closing drive device 300.

[0106] Repeating the above steps can achieve continuous kelp feeding, kelp transfer, and clip clamping of kelp actions, meeting the requirements of automatic and efficient batch operations.

[0107] It can be seen that automatic feeding of kelp is realized, the degree of automation is improved, manpower consumption is reduced, labor intensity is reduced, labor costs are reduced, and operation efficiency is improved. The follow-up clip drive device operates stably and reliably, and the automatic feeding process is also reliable and stable.

[0108] It should be noted that setting the first guide plate 309 and the second guide plate 310 is a preferred technical means. When the left finger cylinder 305 and the right finger cylinder 306 descend and may occasionally fail to align with the top of the clip, the first guide plate 309 and the second guide plate 310 can play a guiding role, enabling the top of the clip to more smoothly enter the space between the two fingers of the left finger cylinder 305 and more smoothly enter the space between the two fingers of the right finger cylinder 306.

[0109] It should be noted that the sensor 312 can be not used, but the operator can judge by observation that the clip has moved below the follow-up clip drive device 300.

[0110] The suspension chain 204 is in accordance with Figure 3 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 18It operates in the direction indicated by the arrow. The clamp brings the fresh kelp into the box through the first window 101-3 at the rear of the box body 101. The hot air in the box dries the fresh kelp. The fresh kelp moves along the path of the S-shaped layout part 204-1 of the suspension chain 204. When the fresh kelp moves to the return part 204-2 of the suspension chain 204, it has been dried. Then the dried kelp passes through the bend 204-2-1 of the suspension chain 204 and exits from the second window 101-4 at the rear of the box body 101. After the dried kelp exits from the second window 101-4 at the rear of the box body 101, it moves to the second follower clamp opening and closing drive device 600. Automatic blanking processing is carried out at the second follower clamp opening and closing drive device 600. The specific process of automatic blanking is as follows:

[0111] Step S901, in the initial state of the second follower clamp opening and closing drive device 600, the second horizontal rodless cylinder is not supplied with compressed air (the moving block can move freely), the telescopic rod of the second vertical cylinder is in the retracted state, the two fingers of the left finger cylinder are in the open state, the two fingers of the right finger cylinder are in the open state, the telescopic rod of the second blocking cylinder is in the extended state, the second blocking block is located above the suspension chain 204, and the second blocking block is located below the track composed of the first square tube 203-1 and the second square tube 203-2.

[0112] Step S902, as the suspension chain 204 moves forward, the clamp is in the closed state initially (the clamp holds the dried kelp). When the clamp moves below the second follower clamp opening and closing drive device 600, the second blocking block blocks in front of the connecting rod 210. The connecting rod 210 touches the second blocking block forward and pushes the second blocking block forward. Then the second blocking cylinder connecting bracket moves forward. The sensor on the second blocking cylinder connecting bracket that moves forward immediately generates a signal and feeds the signal back to the controller. The second blocking cylinder connecting bracket, the second vertical cylinder, the second finger cylinder connecting bracket, the left finger cylinder and the right finger cylinder all move forward simultaneously, that is, they move synchronously with the suspension chain 204.

[0113] Step S903, next, the controller instructs the telescopic rod of the cylinder 706 in the automatic blanking device 700 to extend. The suction cup connecting plate 704 drives the suction cups 705 to translate to the side of the dried kelp. The vacuum generator is started to activate the suction cups 705. Multiple suction cups 705 suck the side of the dried kelp. At this time, the dried kelp is in the vertical plane. The side of the dried kelp refers to the front or the back. It should be noted that the suction cup connecting plate 704 and the suction cups 705 are preferably located in front of the dried kelp. When the dried kelp moves forward, it gets close to the suction cups 705. In this case, the suction cups suck the front of the dried kelp. If the suction cup connecting plate 704 and the suction cups 705 are located behind the dried kelp, in this case, the suction cups suck the back of the dried kelp.

[0114] While the telescopic rod of the air cylinder 706 in the automatic blanking device 700 extends, the controller commands the telescopic rod of the second vertical-direction air cylinder to extend, thereby driving the left finger air cylinder and the right finger air cylinder to descend. The two fingers of the left finger air cylinder are located on both sides of the top of the clip, and the two fingers of the right finger air cylinder are also located on both sides of the top of the clip.

[0115] Step S904: Next, the controller commands the left finger air cylinder and the right finger air cylinder to act simultaneously. The two fingers of the left finger air cylinder close, and the two fingers of the right finger air cylinder close, thereby clamping the top of the clip, and further opening the clip in the closed state, so that the clip is in an open state.

[0116] Step S905: The telescopic rod of the air cylinder 706 in the automatic blanking device 700 retracts. The suction cup connecting plate 704 drives the dried kelp to move above the conveyor belt 701-1 of the belt conveyor 701. Then, the rotary air cylinder 703 acts to flip the suction cup connecting plate 704 by 90°. The suction cup connecting plate 704 is in the horizontal plane, and the dried kelp is also in the horizontal plane. Then, the lifting mechanism 702 acts to lower the rotary air cylinder 703. The suction cup connecting plate 704 drives the dried kelp to descend to a position close to the conveyor belt 701-1. Then, the suction cup 705 is inflated, and the suction force of the suction cup 705 disappears, and the dried kelp falls onto the conveyor belt 701-1. The conveyor belt 701-1 conveys the dried kelp for collection. Then, the lifting mechanism 702 acts to raise the rotary air cylinder 703. The rotary air cylinder 703 acts to flip the suction cup connecting plate 704 by 90°. The suction cup connecting plate 704 is in the horizontal plane, and the telescopic rod of the air cylinder 706 extends. The suction cup on the suction cup connecting plate 704 is ready to adsorb the next dried kelp.

[0117] Step S906: Next, the controller commands the two fingers of the left finger air cylinder to open and the two fingers of the right finger air cylinder to open, thereby closing the clip in the open state. At this time, the clip is ready to clamp the fresh kelp at the loading station.

[0118] Step S907: Next, the telescopic rod of the second blocking air cylinder retracts, causing the second blocking block to move backward and withdraw. The second blocking block no longer blocks in front of the connecting rod 210. The telescopic rod of the second vertical-direction air cylinder retracts, thereby raising the left finger air cylinder and the right finger air cylinder to the initial position. While the telescopic rod of the second vertical-direction air cylinder retracts, compressed air is supplied to the second horizontal-direction rodless air cylinder. The second horizontal-direction rodless air cylinder acts to move the moving block backward to the initial position. At this time, the second blocking air cylinder connecting bracket, the second vertical-direction air cylinder, the second finger air cylinder connecting bracket, the left finger air cylinder, and the right finger air cylinder all move backward to the initial position.

[0119] Step S908: The telescopic rod of the second blocking cylinder extends, causing the second blocking block to move forward; the second blocking block is ready to block the next connecting rod. At this time, the automatic feeding of dried kelp is completed.

[0120] It can be seen that the automatic feeding of dried kelp is realized, the degree of automation is improved, the labor consumption is reduced, the labor intensity is lowered, the labor cost is reduced, and the feeding operation efficiency is improved.

[0121] It should be noted that the side of the dried kelp is adsorbed by the suction cup 705, and the best adsorption position is the upper-middle part of the dried kelp, because the thickness of the upper-middle part of the dried kelp is relatively thick and it is easier to be adsorbed.

[0122] Inside the box, when the fresh kelp moves to the return part 204-2 of the suspension chain 204, it is already in a very dry state (very dry kelp is prone to breakage and cause damage). Since the air humidity at the bend 204-2-1 is very high, the very dry kelp gets damp and increases in humidity at the bend 204-2-1, making the very dry kelp slightly wetter. This can avoid the breakage and damage of the dried kelp, and also helps the suction cup of the automatic feeding device to adsorb the dried kelp more reliably, improving the reliability of the automatic feeding operation.

[0123] For the automatic feeding device 700, the lifting mechanism 702, the rotary cylinder 703 and the cylinder 706 can be replaced by a robotic arm, and the suction cup connecting plate 704 is fixed at the end of the robotic arm. The robotic arm moves to make the suction cup connecting plate 704 move.

[0124] The above description is only for the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications.
