Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seafood processing, specifically to an integrated processing system for steaming and shelling mussels. Background Technology

[0002] Because mussels have an irregular shape, the main method currently used is to manually extract the mussel meat from the shell. This manual operation is labor-intensive, has low production efficiency, and high production costs.

[0003] Chinese patent CN109770276B discloses a mussel steaming and shelling system, including a steaming box, a steaming net inside the steaming box, a support for pulling the steaming net out of the steaming box, a shelling box, M inlets on the shelling box, N rows of shelling mechanisms inside the shelling box, a discharge port at the bottom of the shelling box, and a vibrating filter screen below the discharge port, where M is greater than 1 and N is greater than 2; each row of shelling mechanisms includes M guide funnels and a pair of rotating shafts below each guide funnel. Each pair of rotating shafts includes two rotating shafts arranged opposite to each other and rotating in opposite directions. Each rotating shaft is provided with several sets of radial brushes spaced apart along the length of the rotating shaft. Each set of radial brushes is distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft. The adjacent radial brushes of each pair of rotating shafts are arranged alternately. The spacing between the sets of radial brushes in each row of rotating shafts gradually decreases from top to bottom. It also includes N transmission devices, each of which is connected to each row of peeling mechanism. The controller is connected to the vibrating filter screen and each transmission device.

[0004] While the above solution can automatically shell mussels, the mussels and shells remain mixed together after shelling. Furthermore, the mussel meat is easily damaged due to the multiple layers of peeling by the shelling mechanism. Additionally, the falling mussels cannot control their spatial position, which can easily cause the machine to jam when shelling them, leading to machine damage. Moreover, because the feed funnel cannot guarantee that all mussels will be guided to the radial brush when it rotates, some mussels may fall off one side of the radial brush and cannot be shelled. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, an integrated mussel steaming and shelling system is provided. Mussels are placed on a conveyor belt manually or by a robotic arm from the input end of the shell. The conveyor belt moves the mussels along the length of the shell. As the mussels pass a status monitoring device, the device monitors their position. If the position meets a preset threshold, the device will not remove the mussel; otherwise, it will remove it. The conveyor belt then passes the mussels monitored by the status monitoring device to a separation device. This device separates the mussel meat from the shell. The meat is discharged from the discharge port of the conveyor belt, while the shell remains on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt continues to operate, the separated shells are carried to the output end of the shell for discharge. This system ensures that some mussels cannot be separated during meat-shell separation and also prevents the separation device from getting stuck.

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated mussel steaming and shelling system, including a shell; the system also includes a conveying device, which is disposed inside the shell along its length, with its upper part used to receive mussels and move them along the length of the shell; a state monitoring device and a separation device are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying device, the state monitoring device having a preset state threshold for the placement of the mussels, and the state monitoring device monitors the placement state of the mussels placed on the conveying device; if the placement state of the mussels deviates from the preset state threshold, the state monitoring device removes the mussels from the conveying device; the separation device separates the shell and meat of the mussels after they have been monitored by the state monitoring device, and the separated mussel shells are discharged by the conveying device.

[0007] Preferably, the conveying device includes a conveyor belt, a first drive device, and abutment plates; the conveyor belt is rotatably disposed inside the shell along the length direction of the shell; the first drive device is disposed on the conveyor belt and drives the conveyor belt to rotate; multiple abutment plates are disposed evenly on the conveyor belt around the extension direction of the conveyor belt, and mussels are disposed on the conveyor belt on one side of the abutment plate, and the abutment plates abut against the mussel shells when the separating device separates the mussel meat from the shells.

[0008] Preferably, the separation device includes a pressing device and a scraping device; the pressing device is located above the conveying device and presses the mussel shells conveyed by the conveying device to the area directly below the pressing device; the scraping device is located on one side of the pressing device along the width direction of the shell and scrapes off the mussel meat that has been pressed by the pressing device.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying device further includes a discharge port, which is disposed through the conveyor belt between adjacent abutment plates, and the discharge port is for the mussel meat separated by the separation device to be discharged.

[0010] Preferably, the separation device further includes a collection device located below the discharge port, which collects the scraped mussel meat.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying device further includes a guiding component, which is disposed above the discharge port and guides the mussel meat separated by the separating device to the discharge port.

[0012] Preferably, the status monitoring device includes a camera and a rejection device; the camera is positioned above the conveying device along the height of the shell, with the camera's shooting end pointing vertically downwards; the rejection device is positioned on the conveying device, and if the camera detects a deviation in the position of the mussel, the rejection device will reject the mussel.

[0013] Preferably, the condition monitoring device further includes a return device, which is arranged on one side of the conveying device along the length of the shell. The mussels removed by the rejection device are returned to the input end of the conveying device through the return device.

[0014] Preferably, the status monitoring device also includes a defogging device, which is placed around the camera to isolate the water vapor generated by the mussels from the camera's shooting end.

[0015] Preferably, the defogging device includes a sealing shell and a fan; the sealing shell is sleeved around the camera's axis and surrounds the camera's periphery, with a gap between the inner wall of the sealing shell and the outer wall of the camera, and the upper opening of the sealing shell is larger than the lower opening of the sealing shell; the fan is located at the upper part of the sealing shell, and the fan supplies flowing air to the sealing shell from top to bottom.

[0016] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0017] This invention employs a conveying device, a status monitoring device, and a separation device. Mussels are placed onto the conveying device manually or by a robotic arm from the input end of the shell. The conveying device moves the mussels along the length of the shell. As the mussels pass the status monitoring device, the device monitors their position. If the position meets a preset threshold, the device will not remove the mussel; otherwise, it will remove it. The conveying device then passes the mussels monitored by the status monitoring device to the separation device, which separates the mussel meat from the shell. The mussel meat is discharged from the discharge port of the conveying device, while the shell remains on the conveying device after separation. As the conveying device continues to operate, the separated shells are carried to the output end of the shell for discharge. This ensures that the processing system does not result in some mussels remaining unseparated during meat-shell separation and also prevents the separation device from getting stuck due to mussels.

[0031] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3A mussel steaming and shelling integrated processing system includes an outer shell 1; the processing system also includes a conveying device 3, which is arranged inside the outer shell 1 along its length. The upper part of the conveying device 3 is used to receive mussels 5 and move the mussels 5 along the length of the outer shell 1; a state monitoring device 4 and a separation device 2 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying device 3. The state monitoring device 4 is preset with a preset state threshold for the placement of the mussels 5. The state monitoring device 4 monitors the placement state of the mussels 5 placed on the conveying device 3. If the placement state of the mussels 5 deviates from the preset state threshold, the state monitoring device 4 removes the mussels 5 from the conveying device 3; the separation device 2 separates the shell and meat of the mussels 5 after they have been monitored by the state monitoring device 4. The separated mussel shells are discharged by the conveying device 3.

[0033] Multiple conveying devices 3 are provided, evenly arranged along the width direction of the outer shell 1. The two ends of the outer shell 1 along its length direction are the input and output ends of the mussels 5, respectively. The mussels 5 are placed on the conveying device 3 from the input end of the outer shell 1. After being conveyed by the conveying device 3, the mussel shells are discharged from the output end of the outer shell 1. During use, the operator needs to ensure that the steamed mussels 5 are in an open state and widen the opening of the mussels 5 to an obtuse angle before placing them on the conveying device 3. The conveying device 3 moves the mussels 5 along the length direction of the outer shell 1. Under the movement of the conveying device 3, the mussels 5 sequentially pass through the state monitoring device 4 and the separation device 2. The state monitoring device 4 has a preset state threshold for the placement of the mussels 5. This preset state threshold refers to the maximum angle between the length direction of the mussels 5 placed on the conveying device 3 and the length direction of the outer shell 1. If the length direction of the mussels 5 is too far from the outer shell 1, the mussels will be separated from the outer shell 1. When the included angle between the length directions of shell 1 is greater than the maximum included angle, the separation device 2 will be unable to successfully separate the mussel meat and the mussel shell. Conversely, the separation device 2 can successfully separate the mussel meat and the mussel shell. After being monitored by the status monitoring device 4, the conveying device 3 moves the monitored mussels to the bottom of the separation device 2. The separation device 2 separates the mussel meat and the mussel shell. The separated mussel shell remains on the conveying device 3. The conveying device 3 drives the mussel shell out from the output end of the outer shell 1. In this way, the separation of the mussel meat and the mussel shell is achieved. Because the status monitoring device 4 is set up, the separation device 2 is prevented from jamming when separating mussels due to incorrect positioning of the mussels on the conveying device 3. All mussels are stably conveyed by the conveying device 3 along the length direction of the outer shell 1, ensuring that all mussels can be separated by the separation device 2.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-4The conveying device 3 includes a conveyor belt 31, a first drive device, and an abutment plate 33. The conveyor belt 31 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 1 along the length direction of the housing 1. The first drive device 32 is disposed on the conveyor belt 31 and drives the conveyor belt 31 to rotate. Multiple abutment plates 33 are disposed evenly on the conveyor belt 31 around the extension direction of the conveyor belt 31. Mussels 5 are disposed on the conveyor belt 31 on one side of the abutment plate 33. The abutment plate 33 abuts against the shell of the mussel 5 when the separating device 2 separates the meat of the mussel 5 from the shell.

[0035] The first driving device 32 includes a first rotary driver 321 and two drive wheels 322. The two drive wheels 322 are arranged in the inner ring of the conveyor belt 31 along the length direction of the outer casing 1. Both ends of the conveyor belt 31 are respectively fitted onto the two drive wheels 322. The drive wheels 322 and the conveyor belt 31 are in a driving relationship. The first rotary driver 321 is located at one end of one of the drive wheels 322. The first rotary driver 321 drives the drive wheel 322 to rotate. The first rotary driver 321 is preferably a servo motor. The rotary drive 321 drives the conveyor belt 31 to rotate synchronously through the drive wheel 322. When the mussel 5 is placed on the conveyor device 3 from the input end of the shell 1, the mussel 5 needs to be placed on the conveyor belt 31 on one side of the abutment plate 33 so that one end of the mussel 5 in the length direction contacts the abutment plate 33. At the same time, when placing it, it is necessary to ensure that the length direction of the mussel 5 is parallel to the length direction of the shell 1 as much as possible. In this way, when the separation device 2 separates the mussel 5, the abutment plate 33 will have an abutment effect on one end of the mussel 5, so that the mussel meat and the mussel shell can be separated smoothly.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figures 6-10 The separation device 2 includes a pressing device 21 and a scraping device 22. The pressing device 21 is located above the conveying device 3 and presses the mussel shells 5 that are conveyed by the conveying device 3 to the area directly below the pressing device 21. The scraping device 22 is located on one side of the pressing device 21 along the width direction of the shell 1 and scrapes off the mussel meat 5 that has been pressed by the pressing device 21.

[0037] The pressing device 21 includes a pressing plate 211, a pressing rod 212, a limiting ring 213, a first spring 214, a top plate 215, a mounting bracket 216, a linear actuator 217, and a support plate 218. The top plate 215 is movable above the conveying device 3 along the height direction of the outer casing 1. Two mounting brackets 216 are provided, symmetrically fixed to the lower part of the top plate 215 about the length direction of the outer casing 1. The linear actuator 217 is located below the top plate 215 along the height direction of the outer casing 1. The output end of the linear actuator 217 is vertically upward and connected to the lower part of the top plate 215. The linear actuator 217 drives the top plate 215 to move along the height direction of the outer casing 1. The pressing rod 212 is inserted through the mounting base along the height direction of the outer casing 1 and... A limiting ring 213 is fixedly installed on the pressing rod 212 below the mounting bracket 216, which slides in conjunction with the mounting base. A first gap exists between the limiting ring 213 and the mounting bracket 216. A first spring 214 is disposed within the first gap along the axis of the pressing rod 212. The two ends of the first spring 214 are fixedly connected to the limiting ring 213 and the mounting bracket 216, respectively. A pressing plate 211 is horizontally fixedly disposed at the bottom of the pressing rod 212. A support plate 218 is disposed below the conveyor belt 31. The conveyor belt 31 passes between the support plate 218 and the pressing plate 211. The support plate 218 is located directly below the pressing plate 211 and provides support for the conveyor belt 31. The linear drive 217 is preferably a servo motor. The scraping device 22 includes a second drive device 2. 21. A rotating component 222, an extension sleeve 223, an extension rod 224, a scraper 225, and a second spring 226. The rotating component 222 is rotatably disposed between two mounting brackets 216 along the width direction of the outer casing 1. A second driving device 221 is connected to one end of the rotating component 222 and drives the rotating component 222 to rotate. Multiple extension sleeves 223 are provided, and the multiple extension sleeves 223 are evenly fixedly disposed on the rotating component 222 around the axis of the rotating component 222. The length direction of the extension sleeve 223 is parallel to the radial direction of the rotating component 222. The extension rod 224 is slidably disposed inside the extension sleeve 223 along the length direction of the extension sleeve 223. A second gap exists between the end of the extension rod 224 and the bottom of the extension sleeve 223. The second spring 226... The second spring 226 is disposed within the second gap along the length of the extension rod 224. Both ends of the second spring 226 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension rod 224 and the extension sleeve 223, respectively. The scraping plate 225 is fixedly disposed on the end of the extension rod 224 away from the extension sleeve 223. The second drive device 221 includes a second rotary driver 2211, a synchronous pulley 2212, and a synchronous belt 2213. The second rotary driver 2211 is disposed above the rotating member 222 along the width direction of the outer casing 1. Two synchronous pulleys 2212 are provided, and the two synchronous pulleys 2212 are respectively disposed at the output end of the second rotary driver 2211 and the end of the rotating member 222 along the height direction of the outer casing 1. Both ends of the synchronous belt 2213 are respectively sleeved on the two synchronous pulleys 2212.The synchronous pulley 2212 and synchronous belt 2213 are driven together. The second rotary driver 2211 is preferably a servo motor. When the mussel 5 passes under the separating device 2, the pressing device 21 is activated first, the output end of the linear driver 217 retracts, and the linear driver 217 drives the top plate 215 to descend, so that the two pressing plates 211 press the two sides of the mussel 5 shell. During the pressing process of the pressing plates 211, the pressing rod 212 and the mounting bracket 216 slide relative to each other, and the distance between the limiting ring 213 on the pressing part and the mounting bracket 216 gradually decreases. The first spring 214 is compressed, and the first spring 214 provides pressing force to the pressing plate 211. A pressure sensor is set on the contact side between the mounting bracket 216 and the first spring 214. The pressure sensor is used to detect the elastic force of the first spring 214 and set a preset pressure. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor reaches the preset pressure value, the scraping device 22 will be activated, and the linear driver 217 will stop running. Then the second rotary driver 2211 will be activated. 2211 drives the synchronous pulley 2212 to rotate. Under the transmission of the synchronous belt 2213, all the synchronous pulleys 2212 rotate, thus causing the rotating component 222 to rotate. The rotation speed of the rotating component 222 should not be too fast, otherwise the extension rod 224 will slide out of the extension sleeve 223 too far under the action of centrifugal force, making it impossible to scrape off the mussel meat 5. The rotating component 222 drives the extension rod 224 set in the extension sleeve 223 to rotate synchronously. When the extension rod 224 passes by the mussel 5, it can scrape the mussel meat 5 from the mussel shell 5. The mussel meat is scraped off the mussel 5. A second spring 226 is installed inside the extension sleeve 223, allowing the extension rod 224 to adapt to the shape differences between different mussels 5. This ensures that the extension rod 224 can better scrape the mussel meat off the mussel 5. After the mussel meat is scraped off, the linear drive 217 will drive the top plate 215 to rise, thus releasing the pressing plate 211 from pressing the mussel 5. During pressing, the support plate 218 can provide support for the conveyor belt 31, ensuring that the pressing plate 211 can stably press the mussel shell 5.

[0038] Reference Figure 8 The conveying device 3 also includes a discharge port 34, which is installed on the conveyor belt 31 between adjacent abutment plates 33. The discharge port 34 is used to discharge the mussel meat 5 from the separation point of the separation device 2.

[0039] The rotational tangent direction of the rotating part 222 on the side near the conveying device 3 is opposite to the conveying direction of the conveying device 3. After the scraping device 22 scrapes the mussel meat off, the conveyor belt 31 drives the discharge port 34 on it to move towards the scraping device 22. In this way, the mussel meat can be pushed into the discharge port 34 by the scraping plate 225.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8The separation device 2 also includes a collection device 23, which is located below the discharge port 34 and collects the scraped mussel meat.

[0041] The collecting device 23 includes a first inclined plate 231, a second inclined plate 232, a vibrator 233, and a water supply device 234. The first inclined plate 231 slopes downwards along the length of the outer casing 1 from the output end to the input end of the outer casing 1. The second inclined plate 232 is positioned at the lower end of the first inclined plate 231 along the width of the outer casing 1. The second inclined plate 232 passes sequentially through the inner ring of the conveyor belt 31 arranged along the width of the outer casing 1. The higher end of the second inclined plate 232 is located below the discharge port 34, from which the mussel meat falls. After being lowered, the mussel meat is guided by the second inclined plate 232 and the first inclined plate 231 and can be discharged from one side of the shell 1. A vibrator 233 is provided at the lower part of the first inclined plate 231 to prevent the mussel meat from sticking to the upper surface of the first inclined plate 231. At the same time, a water supply device 234 is provided at the higher end of the first inclined plate 231. The water supply device 234 supplies clean water from the higher end of the first inclined plate 231, so that there is always a flowing water on the first inclined plate 231, further preventing the mussel meat from sticking to the first inclined plate 231.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The conveying device 3 also includes a guiding component 35, which is located above the discharge port 34. The guiding component 35 guides the mussel meat separated by the separating device 2 to the discharge port 34.

[0043] The guiding component 35 includes a baffle 351 and a guard plate 352. The baffle 351 is positioned above the conveying device 3 along the height direction of the outer shell 1. Two guard plates 352 are provided, symmetrically arranged on the baffle 351 with respect to the height direction of the outer shell 1. The guard plates 352 and the baffle 351 form a semi-enclosed structure. After the mussel meat is scraped off by the scraping device 22, since the scraping direction of the scraping device 22 is opposite to the conveying direction of the conveying device 3, the mussel meat is prone to slipping out of the discharge port 34 when the guard plate 352 and the baffle 351 are not provided. However, the presence of the baffle 351 and the guard plate 352 can prevent the above situation from occurring.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 The status monitoring device 4 includes a camera 41 and a rejection device 42. The camera 41 is positioned above the conveying device 3 along the height direction of the outer shell 1, with the shooting end of the camera 41 pointing vertically downwards. The rejection device 42 is positioned on the conveying device 3. If the camera 41 detects a deviation in the position of the mussel 5, the rejection device 42 will reject the mussel 5.

[0045] The rejection device 42 includes a horizontal plate 421, a fixed plate 422, a sliding block 423, a long rod 424, and an electromagnet 425. The horizontal plate 421 is arranged along the length of the outer shell 1 on the inner ring of the conveyor belt 31. A rejection groove 426 is formed on the conveyor belt 31 on one side of the abutment plate 33. The horizontal plate 421 is located below the rejection groove 426 and is fixedly connected to the interior of the outer shell 1. The fixed plate 422 is vertically fixed on the horizontal plate 421. The sliding block 423 is slidably arranged on the horizontal plate 421 along the length of the horizontal plate 421. The sliding block 423 is located on one side of the fixed plate 422, and the fixed plate 422 is higher than the sliding block 423. One end of the long rod 424 is hinged to the sliding block 423. The lower part of 4 rests on the upper part of the fixed plate 422. The electromagnet 425 is evenly arranged between the fixed plate 422 and the sliding block 423 along the length direction of the horizontal plate 421. When it is necessary to remove the mussel 5 with the wrong position, the electromagnet 425 is energized step by step from the side closer to the sliding block 423, so that the sliding block 423 moves towards the side of the fixed plate 422. In this way, the angle between the length direction of the long rod 424 and the length direction of the horizontal plate 421 will become larger. The long rod 424 extends out from the removal groove 426 and lifts one side of the mussel 5 located on the conveyor belt 31. In this way, the mussel 5 is removed from the conveyor belt 31 by the long rod 424. The removed mussel 5 is returned to the input end of the outer shell 1 through the return device 43.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The status monitoring device 4 also includes a return device 43, which is arranged on one side of the conveying device 3 along the length of the outer shell 1. The mussels 5 removed by the removal device 42 are sent back to the input end of the conveying device 3 through the return device 43.

[0047] The return device 43 includes a third inclined plate 431 and a recycling bin 432. The third inclined plate 431 is arranged on the side of the conveying device 3 along the length of the outer shell 1. The end of the third inclined plate 431 near the input end of the outer shell 1 is lower than the end of the third inclined plate 431 near the output end of the outer shell 1. The recycling bin 432 is arranged at the input end of the outer shell 1. The recycling bin 432 is located below the end of the third inclined plate 431 near the input end of the outer shell 1. The recycling bin 432 is used to receive the mussels 5 that are incorrectly placed and are removed by the rejection device 42, so that the workers can place the mussels 5 back on the conveying device 3.

[0048] Reference Figure 11 The status monitoring device 4 also includes a defogging device, which is set around the camera 41 to isolate the water vapor generated by the mussels 5 from the shooting end of the camera 41.

[0049] Reference Figure 11The defogging device includes a constricting shell 44 and a fan. The constricting shell 44 is sleeved around the camera 41 along its axis. There is a gap between the inner wall of the constricting shell 44 and the outer wall of the camera 41. The upper opening of the constricting shell 44 is larger than the lower opening of the constricting shell 44. The fan is located at the upper part of the constricting shell 44 and supplies flowing air to the constricting shell 44 from top to bottom.

[0050] Because there is a gap between the constricting shell 44 and the camera 41, when the fan blows flowing air into the constricting shell 44 from top to bottom, the air in the constricting shell 44 will be discharged from the shooting end side of the camera 41. The shape of the constricting shell 44 can accelerate the flow of air inside it, and the water vapor produced by the mussels 5 after steaming will be blown away by the flowing air, preventing the mirror surface of the camera 41 from fogging up. At the same time, it can also blow away the steam above the mussels 5, ensuring stable monitoring of the position and status of the mussels 5 by the camera 41.

[0051] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
