Through sorting, fish that may carry pathogens or parasites can be discovered and excluded in time, thereby reducing the risk of consumers eating them and improving food safety.

[0003] Traditional fish activity sorting generally relies on manual judgment, but manual sorting has the disadvantages of low sorting efficiency, limited sorting accuracy, and high labor costs.

[0033] See also Figure 1 to Figure 6In an embodiment of the present invention, a fish intelligent identification and sorting device includes a sorting pool 5, which is arranged in an arc-shaped box. Two support plates 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom side walls of the sorting pool 5. Water is arranged in the sorting pool 5. A water circulation device is arranged at the bottom of the sorting pool 5. The water circulation device includes a turntable shell 1. A housing 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the turntable shell 1. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the housing 3. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 7. The rotating rod 7 vertically penetrates and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the turntable shell 1. A circular plate 18 is rotatably connected to the center of the interior, and the circular plate 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 7. An annular cavity is formed between the outer wall of the circular plate 18 and the inner wall of the turntable shell 1. A water hose 4 is provided in the annular cavity. Both ends of the water hose 4 penetrate the side walls of the turntable shell 1, and both ends of the water hose 4 are respectively connected to the bottom side walls of the sorting pool 5. The upper end of the rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 8, and the side wall of the first bevel gear 8 is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 9, and the second bevel gear 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal shaft 13.

[0034] Both ends of the sorting pool 5 are fixedly connected with fixed plates 10, a horizontal axis 13 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 10, a fish pushing device is arranged on the horizontal axis 13, and the fish pushing device comprises four fixed rods 12, the four fixed rods 12 are respectively and symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the horizontal axis 13, one end of each fixed rod 12 is fixedly connected with a grid plate 11, the four grid plates 11 are respectively close to one side of the positive conductive plate 21 and the negative conductive plate 20, and two collecting boxes 17 are respectively arranged on the side close to the positive conductive plate 21 and the negative conductive plate 20; the water flow in the sorting pool 5 flows from the positive conductive plate 21 to the negative conductive plate 20, a conveying pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the central side wall of the sorting pool 5, and one end of the conveying pipe 15 is fixedly connected with a feeding nozzle 14;

The positive and negative ends of the DC power supply 16 are respectively electrically connected to the positive conductive plate 21 and the negative conductive plate 20 through wires. It should be noted that the head and tail of the fish have a constant potential difference, the head is negatively charged (-), and the tail is positively charged (+). In a DC electric field, according to the principle that like charges repel and unlike charges attract, the head of the fish will face the anode (positive pole) with a higher potential in the electric field, and the tail will face the cathode (negative pole) with a lower potential. Therefore, the fish will swim towards the anode.

[0036] A sorting method of a fish intelligent identification and sorting device comprises the following steps:

[0037] The first step is to start the motor 2, which can drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 7 can drive the circular plate 18 to rotate. The rotation of the circular plate 18 can drive the two extrusion blocks 19 on its side wall to circumferentially squeeze the water hose 4 in the turntable shell 1, so that the water hose 4 generates suction, and the water flow near the negative conductive plate 20 in the sorting tank 5 is input to the side near the positive conductive plate 21 in the sorting tank 5 through the water hose 4, so that the water flow in the sorting tank 5 continues to flow from the positive conductive plate 21 to the negative conductive plate 20 side;

[0038] The second step is to start the DC power supply 16, so that the positive conductive plate 21 and the negative conductive plate 20 have positive and negative charges respectively, and the water flow between the positive conductive plate 21 and the negative conductive plate 20 generates DC power;

[0039] In the third step, after the fishes whose activity needs to be sorted are thrown into the input port 14, when the fishes enter the water flow in the middle of the sorting pool 5 through the conveying pipe 15, the fishes with high activity are electrically stimulated in the water containing direct current, and will swim toward the positive conductive plate 21 with positive charge, while the fishes with low activity will flow to the side close to the negative conductive plate 20 under the action of the water flow in the sorting pool 5 when they are unable to swim; while the rotating rod 7 rotates, the rotating rod 7 can drive the horizontal shaft 13 to rotate continuously through the first bevel gear 8 and the second bevel gear 9, and the rotation of the horizontal shaft 13 can drive the four grid plates 11 to rotate inside the two ends of the sorting pool 5 respectively, and the rotating grid plates 11 can respectively push and sweep the high-activity fishes close to the positive conductive plate 21 and the low-activity fishes close to the negative conductive plate 20 out of the sorting pool 5, and drop them into the two collecting boxes 17 respectively.

[0040] The electric field strength (V / cm) of the positive conductive plate 21 and the negative conductive plate 20 was controlled, and a variety of adult fish commonly sold in the market were sorted according to the above sorting method, and the activity sorting success rate was analyzed. The activity sorting success rate = the number of successfully sorted fish / the total number of sorted fish. The results are shown in the following table:
