A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the left side of the rotating block, and the connecting rod is movably installed in the side wall of the storage compartment. The left end of the connecting rod penetrates the top of the storage compartment and a first gear is fixedly installed thereon. A fixed plate is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting seat corresponding to the position of the first gear, and a movable plate is fixedly installed on the fixed plate. Tooth grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of the movable plate, and the first gear is meshed with the tooth grooves above the movable plate. A guide plate is fixedly installed on the storage compartment corresponding to the position of the rotating block.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, a connecting frame is fixedly installed in the middle position of the fixed frame, a water tank is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting frame, a rotating tube is provided in the middle of the connecting frame at a position corresponding to the fry plate, hanging arms are provided at both ends of the rotating tube, the rotating tube is movably installed on the hanging arm, a fixing rod is fixedly installed on the left end of the rotating tube, the left end of the fixing rod penetrates the hanging arm and extends to the position of the movable plate, a second gear is fixedly installed on the top of the left end of the fixing rod, and the second gear is meshed with the tooth groove at the bottom of the movable plate.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, brushes are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the rotating tube, water outlet holes are evenly and equidistantly opened on the side walls of the water outlet, a connecting pipe is movably connected to the right end of the rotating tube, a water pump is provided at the other end of the connecting pipe, the water pump is fixedly installed on a connecting frame, the connecting pipe is connected to the output end of the water pump, and the input end of the water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, a movable grid is movably installed in the middle of the fry tray, a movable groove is opened on the inner wall of the fry tray, a threaded rod is movably installed in the movable groove, a control block is arranged at a position corresponding to the threaded rod on the outside of the fry tray, the top of the threaded rod penetrates the fry tray and is fixedly connected to the control block, the side wall of the movable grid is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the surfaces of the fry tray and the movable grid are both pure white.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention, a mounting frame is fixedly installed on the top right end of the fixing frame, and a visual detection and shooting device is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame. The visual detection and shooting device can take pictures of the fry tray passing below. After taking pictures, the visual detection and shooting device will upload them to the network, and the non-transparent fry in the photo can be counted through the counting system.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention, a drainage groove is provided on the side wall of the fry tray.

[0013] The method for using the automatic fry counting device for aquaculture vessels comprises the following steps:

[0014] S1: Mix the fry to be counted with water and pour them into the storage cabin, then fill the water tank with water, and then start the visual monitoring camera.

[0015] S2: To ensure the accuracy of counting, the depth of the fry tray needs to be adjusted according to the size of the fry to be counted before use. The threaded rod can be driven to rotate by rotating the control block, and the movable grid can be controlled to rise and fall in the fry tray by the threaded rod. The depth of the fry tray is adjusted to the position where the water inside can just flood the back of the fry. This can prevent the water in the fry tray from being too deep, causing the fry to overlap, or the water from being too shallow, causing the fry to bounce due to stress and affect the effect of subsequent counting.

[0016] S3: Then start the driving motor to drive the conveyor belt to rotate, and the conveyor belt can drive the fry tray to move. When the fry tray moves to the bottom of the right end of the storage compartment, the top of the movable plate on the left side of the connecting seat will mesh with the first gear, and the movable plate will drive the first gear to rotate one circle. The first gear will drive the rotating block to rotate through the connecting rod. When the feeding trough on the rotating block turns to the storage compartment, the fry will enter. Then when the feeding trough on the rotating block turns out, the fry inside will fall onto the guide plate, and the fry will slide into the fry tray through the guide plate, thereby achieving the effect of automatically distributing the fry.

[0017] S4: The conveyor belt will drive the fry tray to continue moving. When the fry tray passes under the connecting frame, the rotating tube between the connecting frames will be above the fry tray. When the fry tray moves, the bottom of the movable plate on the fixed plate will mesh with the second gear. At this time, the second gear will drive the rotating tube to rotate continuously. The brush on the rotating tube will continuously sweep the fry in the fry tray, so that the fry can be evenly distributed in the fry tray. At the same time, the water pump will draw water from the water tank and transport it to the rotating tube, and then it will be sprayed into the fry tray through the water outlet on the rotating tube. When water is added to the fry tray, the water flow can further disperse the fry in the fry tray, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating subsequent counting.

[0018] S5: Then the conveyor belt continues to drive the fry tray to move. When the fry tray passes directly under the visual detection and shooting device, the visual detection and shooting device will take a photo of the fry tray. Then the visual detection and shooting device will upload the taken photo to the counting system. Since the surfaces of the fry tray and the movable grid are pure white, the non-transparent fry are very obvious in the fry tray. The counting system can quickly calculate and record the number of fry in the photo.

[0019] S6: The conveyor belt will then continue to drive the fry tray to move. When the fry tray moves to the rightmost end of the conveyor belt, the fry in the fry tray will fall onto the buffer plate, and the buffer plate will guide the fry to the culture cabin for culture.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In the present invention, the tooth groove above the movable plate drives the first gear to rotate and control the rotating block to automatically take out the fry in the storage compartment and distribute it to the fry tray. Then, when passing through the bottom of the connecting frame, the tooth groove below the movable plate will drive the rotating tube to rotate continuously, and the brush on the rotating tube will continuously sweep the fry in the fry tray. At the same time, the water sprayed from the water outlet on the rotating tube can further disperse the fry in the fry tray, so that the fry are evenly distributed in the fry tray. Then, when the fry tray passes through the visual detection and shooting device, it will automatically take a picture of the fry tray, and then the visual detection and shooting device will upload the picture to the system to automatically complete the counting, so as to achieve the effect of continuous and automatic counting of the fry without manual operation and high degree of automation.

[0022] 2. In the present invention, the threaded rod can be driven to rotate by rotating the control block, and the movable grid can be controlled to rise and fall in the fry tray by the threaded rod, so that the depth of the fry tray is adjusted to a position where the water inside can just flood the back of the fry, thereby preventing the fry from overlapping due to excessive water depth in the fry tray or from bouncing due to stress due to too shallow water, which affects the subsequent counting accuracy and increases the error.

[0037] In this embodiment, a drainage groove 32 is opened on the side wall of the fry tray 8, and excess water in the fry tray 8 can be discharged through the drainage groove 32 on the fry tray 8, thereby preventing the water in the fry tray 8 from directly overflowing and causing the fry to fall onto the conveyor belt 7.

[0038] The method for using the automatic fry counting device for aquaculture vessels comprises the following steps:

[0039] S1: First, the fry to be counted are mixed with water and poured into the storage compartment 2, and then the water tank 10 is filled with water, and then the visual detection and shooting device 14 is started.

[0040] S2: To ensure the accuracy of counting, the depth of the fry tray 8 needs to be adjusted according to the size of the fry to be counted before use. The threaded rod 30 can be driven to rotate by rotating the control block 31, and the movable grid 24 can be controlled to rise and fall in the fry tray 8 by the threaded rod 30. The depth of the fry tray 8 is adjusted to a position where the water inside can just flood the back of the fry, which can prevent the fry from overlapping due to excessive water depth in the fry tray 8 or from bouncing due to stress due to the water being too shallow, affecting the effect of subsequent counting.

[0041] S3: Then the driving motor 4 is started to drive the conveyor belt 7 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 7 can drive the fry tray 8 to move. When the fry tray 8 moves to the lower right end of the storage compartment 2, the top of the movable plate 16 on the left side of the connecting seat 33 will mesh with the first gear 18, and the movable plate 16 will drive the first gear 18 to rotate one circle. The first gear 18 will drive the rotating block 5 to rotate through the connecting rod 26. When the feeding trough 6 on the rotating block 5 is turned into the storage compartment 2, the fry will enter. Then, when the feeding trough 6 on the rotating block 5 is turned out, the fry inside will fall onto the guide plate 25, and the fry will slide into the fry tray 8 through the guide plate 25, thereby achieving the effect of automatically distributing the fry.

[0042] S4: The fry tray 8 is driven to continue to move by the conveyor belt 7. When the fry tray 8 passes under the connecting frame 9, the rotating tube 21 between the connecting frames 9 is above the fry tray 8. When the fry tray 8 moves, the bottom of the movable plate 16 on the fixed plate 15 is meshed with the second gear 28. At this time, the second gear 28 drives the rotating tube 21 to rotate continuously, and the brush 22 on the rotating tube 21 can continuously sweep the fry in the fry tray 8, so that the fry can be evenly distributed in the fry tray 8. At the same time, the water pump 11 can extract the water in the water tank 10 and transport it to the rotating tube 21, and then it can be sprayed into the fry tray 8 through the water outlet 23 on the rotating tube 21. When water is added to the fry tray 8, the water flow can further disperse the fry in the fry tray 8, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating subsequent counting. At the same time, the excess water in the fry tray 8 can be discharged through the drainage groove 32 on the fry tray 8, so as to avoid the water in the fry tray 8 directly overflowing and causing the fry to fall onto the conveyor belt 7.

[0043] S5: Then the conveyor belt 7 continues to drive the fry tray 8 to move. When the fry tray 8 passes directly under the visual detection and shooting device 14, the visual detection and shooting device 14 will take a photo of the fry tray 8. Then the visual detection and shooting device 14 will upload the taken photo to the counting system. Since the surfaces of the fry tray 8 and the movable grid 24 are both pure white, the non-transparent fry are very obvious in the fry tray 8. The counting system can quickly calculate and record the number of fry in the photo.

[0044] S6: Then the conveyor belt 7 will continue to drive the fry tray 8 to move. When the fry tray 8 moves to the rightmost end of the conveyor belt 7, the fry in the fry tray 8 will fall onto the buffer plate 17, and the fry will be guided to the culture cabin for culture through the buffer plate 17.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention.

The depth of the fry tray (8) is adjusted to a position where the water inside can just flood the back of the fry, so as to prevent the fry from overlapping due to the water being too deep in the fry tray (8) or from bouncing due to stress due to the water being too shallow, which affects the effect of subsequent counting. S3: Then the driving motor (4) is started to drive the conveyor belt (7) to rotate, and the conveyor belt (7) can drive the fry tray (8) to move. When the fry tray (8) moves to the lower right end of the storage compartment (2), the top of the movable plate (16) on the left side of the connecting seat (33) will mesh with the first gear (18), and the movable plate (16) will drive the first gear (18) to rotate one circle. The first gear (18) will drive the rotating block (5) to rotate through the connecting rod (26). When the feeding trough (6) on the rotating block (5) turns to the storage compartment (2), the fry will enter. Then, when the feeding trough (6) on the rotating block (5) turns out, the fry inside will fall onto the guide plate (25), and the fry will slide into the fry tray (8) through the guide plate (25), thereby achieving the effect of automatically distributing the fry. S4: The conveyor belt (7) drives the fry tray (8) to continue to move. When the fry tray (8) passes under the connecting frame (9), the rotating tube (21) between the connecting frames (9) is located above the fry tray (8). When the fry tray (8) moves, the bottom of the movable plate (16) on the fixed plate (15) meshes with the second gear (28). At this time, the second gear (28) drives the rotating tube (21) to rotate continuously, and the hair on the rotating tube (21) is rotated. The brush (22) continuously sweeps the fry in the fry tray (8) so that the fry can be evenly distributed in the fry tray (8). At the same time, the water pump (11) extracts water from the water tank (10) and transports it to the rotating tube (21). The water is then sprayed into the fry tray (8) through the water outlet (23) on the rotating tube (21). When water is added to the fry tray (8), the water flow can further disperse the fry in the fry tray (8), thereby achieving the effect of facilitating subsequent counting. S5: Then the conveyor belt (7) continues to drive the fry tray (8) to move. When the fry tray (8) passes directly below the visual detection and shooting device (14), the visual detection and shooting device (14) will take a photo of the fry tray (8). Then the visual detection and shooting device (14) will upload the photographed photo to the counting system. Since the surfaces of the fry tray (8) and the movable grid (24) are both pure white, the non-transparent fry are very obvious in the fry tray (8). The counting system can quickly calculate and record the number of fry in the photo. S6: Then the conveyor belt (7) will continue to drive the fry tray (8) to move. When the fry tray (8) moves to the rightmost end of the conveyor belt (7), the fry in the fry tray (8) will fall onto the buffer plate (17), and the fry will be guided to the culture cabin for culture through the buffer plate (17).
