Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquatic product processing, sorting, weighing, and processing, specifically to an intelligent sorting and weighing production line system for cooked abalone. Background Technology
[0002] In abalone farming and processing, traditional abalone box transportation and sorting methods rely primarily on manual labor, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. With the continuous expansion of abalone farming and the increasing production of abalone year by year, sorting and weighing work has become increasingly demanding. Traditional abalone sorting and weighing requires a large amount of manual labor to complete the sorting of individual abalone. This method has many problems, such as slow sorting speed, high labor intensity, and production efficiency heavily reliant on manual labor. Furthermore, manual sorting can lead to individual abalone breakage and defects, affecting the quality of each abalone product. This production model severely hinders the rapid development of the abalone industry.

[0020] In this embodiment, the vibrating material preparation device includes a first frame 112. From front to back, the first frame is provided with a material preparation area roller mechanism 11, a vibrating platform 12, and a waiting area roller mechanism 14. The bottom surface of the vibrating platform is provided with a vibrating motor group 19.

The waiting area roller mechanism is connected to the first frame via an up-down adjustment mechanism 17 to achieve tilt angle adjustment. The end of the waiting area roller mechanism is hinged with a flow rack 16, which can be adjusted and rotated. The flow rack allows the abalone feeding box to automatically slide onto the conveying device under the action of gravity.
[0021] In this embodiment, the material preparation area roller mechanism and the waiting area roller mechanism each include a plurality of rollers spaced laterally. The vibration motor unit is mounted on the bottom surface of the vibration platform, which is hinged to the first frame. The lifting motor mechanism includes a top rod driven by a motor to achieve lifting, and the upper end of the top rod is provided with a contact bearing that contacts the bottom surface of the vibration platform; or the lifting motor mechanism is an electric cylinder with a telescopic rod and a contact bearing.
[0022] In this embodiment, the up-and-down adjustment mechanism includes two sets of base supports 18 whose lower ends are connected to the first frame. Telescopic tubes are provided on both the left and right sides of each base support. Two sets of arc-shaped plates 113 corresponding to the base supports are provided at the bottom of the support of the waiting area roller mechanism. Arc-shaped grooves are provided within the arc-shaped plates. A slider that mates with the arc-shaped grooves is provided at the upper end of the telescopic rod of the base support. A screw driven by a handwheel for lifting is provided inside the base support. The upper end of the screw is hinged to the bottom of the support of the waiting area roller mechanism. Thus, the tilt angle of the waiting area roller mechanism can be adjusted through the up-and-down adjustment mechanism, thereby changing the sliding speed of the abalone feeding box.
[0023] In this embodiment, a diffuse reflection sensor 13 is installed on the vibration platform, and a first photoelectric through-beam sensor 15 is installed on the roller mechanism in the material waiting area. An electrical control box 111 is also installed on the first frame.
[0024] In this embodiment, the conveying device includes a second frame 312. The second frame is inclined upwards and has a conveyor belt device 35 with an adjustable tilt angle, driven by a conveyor belt speed regulating motor 34. The specific adjustment method and principle can be the same as the up-and-down adjustment mechanism of the waiting area roller mechanism. An empty box drop chute 38 is provided on the lower side of the conveyor belt device to receive empty boxes output by the flipping feeding device.
[0025] In this embodiment, a second photoelectric sensor 32 and a third photoelectric sensor 36 are respectively installed on the inlet and outlet ends of the support 31 of the conveyor belt device; an abalone box guide baffle 37 and a tri-color light 33 are installed on the side of the outlet end of the support 31 of the conveyor belt device, and an indicator green light 313 and an indicator yellow light 314 are installed on the side of the inlet end of the support 31 of the conveyor belt device. Two sets of falling detection photoelectric sensors, namely a first falling detection photoelectric sensor 39 and a second falling detection photoelectric sensor 310, are installed at intervals on the empty box falling slide; a stop bar is also installed at the output port of the empty box falling slide. A storage box 311 is also installed on the lower side of the empty box falling slide for storing items.
[0026] In this embodiment, the flipping device includes a flipping support base plate assembly 46, whose two sides are rotatably connected to the upper end of the third frame 48 via stepped shaft assembly 45 and vertical bearing assembly 421, and is driven to rotate by a flipping servo motor device 44. The bottom of the flipping support base plate assembly is provided with an abalone box drop slide plate 49 with its front end facing the conveying device, so as to receive the abalone boxes fed by the conveying device. A pair of adjustable side baffles 47 with adjustable spacing are provided on both sides of the flipping support base plate assembly. A height-adjustable baffle assembly 42 is provided on the upper side of the adjustable side baffles. The adjustable side baffles 47 and the baffle assembly 42 cooperate to limit the width and height of the abalone boxes. A guide plate 423 is provided on the rear side of the flipping support base plate assembly. The guide plate limits the rear end of the abalone boxes and facilitates the introduction of abalone into the hopper.
[0027] In this embodiment, the adjustable side baffle can be connected to the side plate of the flip support base plate assembly via a threaded shaft and locked with a nut. The position of the adjustable side baffle is controlled by adjusting the extension and retraction length of the shaft. The baffle assembly 42 slides up and down with the adjustable side baffle and is locked with bolts and nuts.
[0028] In this embodiment, a feeding chute 411 with a mesh bottom plate is inclinedly provided on the lower side of the feeding port of the hopper. The output end of the feeding chute is provided with a height-adjustable abalone feeding adjustment baffle 410, which adjusts the discharge height of the feeding chute. Specifically, a pair of vertical guide rods are fixed on the abalone feeding adjustment baffle, and the vertical guide rods slide in cooperation with a fixed plate fixed on the abalone feeding adjustment baffle. An adjusting screw that passes through the fixed plate and is locked by a nut is fixed in the middle of the abalone feeding adjustment baffle.
[0029] A waste chute 413 is installed below the feeding chute. The inclination direction of the waste chute is opposite to that of the feeding chute, and the waste chute is hinged to the third frame via a vibration spring support rod 415. A vibration motor 414 is installed on the bottom surface of the waste chute, and a waste collection box 418 is provided below the output end of the waste chute. The vibration motor causes the feeding chute and the waste chute to vibrate, vibrating the slag in the feeding chute to the waste chute and collecting it through the waste collection box. The feeding chute 411, the waste chute 413, and the vibration motor 414 are fixed relative to each other.
[0030] In this embodiment, the upper end of the third support is provided with a proximity sensor identification plate 420 connected to the bearing in the vertical bearing assembly 421. The side wall of the hopper is provided with a flip photoelectric sensor assembly 412 for detecting whether the flipping device has flipped. The lower part of the third frame is provided with a flipping electrical control box 416, the bottom of the third frame is provided with a ground brake wheel assembly 417, and the top of the third frame is equipped with a tri-color light 43.
[0031] In this embodiment, the abalone sorting and screening device includes a sorting conveyor belt device 528 driven by a sorting conveyor motor 524 and a detection conveyor belt device 518 driven by a detection conveyor motor 521, which are sequentially arranged on the fourth frame. The front sides of the sorting conveyor belt device are provided with discharge baffles 51 that cooperate with the sorting conveyor belt device to form a sorting channel. A pair of discharge baffles are connected to the support of the sorting conveyor belt device via a baffle adjustment mechanism 53 to achieve adjustable spacing. Specifically, the baffle adjustment mechanism can be a fixed rod fixed to the side of the discharge baffle. A fixing sleeve is provided on the side of the support of the sorting conveyor belt device for the fixed rod to pass through. Adjusting nuts are screwed onto both sides of the fixing sleeve on the fixed rod to adjust the width.
[0032] In this embodiment, a sorting device 55 is provided above a pair of discharge baffles to sort overlapping abalone into single or parallel outputs. The sorting device includes a base plate 56 mounted on the side of the support of the sorting conveyor belt device 528 and driven to rise and fall by a lifting mechanism. A sorting motor 529 is horizontally mounted on the base plate, and a sorting brush 530 located in the sorting channel is installed at the output end of the sorting motor. An acrylic transparent box 527 is provided above the brush. The lifting mechanism can be a screw driven by a handwheel, with the upper end of the screw rotatably connected to the base plate, thereby adjusting the distance between the brush and the sorting conveyor belt device to sort the abalone into single or parallel outputs.
[0033] In this embodiment, a material handling baffle device 526, an industrial camera group 517, a defective product dispensing device 522, and a good product abalone slide device 520 connected to the rear end of the material handling device are sequentially arranged on the rear side of the material handling device.
[0034] In this embodiment, the material handling baffle device includes a fixed frame 531. Five fixed frames are installed at intervals and staggered along both sides of the material handling conveyor belt device 528 along the conveying direction. Material handling plates 532 are fixed on the fixed frames. The front end of the material handling plate located at the foremost side abuts against the discharge baffle located on one side. The rear end of the foremost material handling plate is inclined towards the discharge baffle on the other side. The rear end of the second material handling baffle is inclined towards the discharge baffle on one side, the rear end of the third material handling baffle is inclined towards the discharge baffle on the other side, and so on, so that the conveying route of the abalone forms an S-shape. Thus, the abalone brushed out by the material handling baffle device completes the single-row output effect. At the same time, by detecting the difference in conveyor belt speed between the conveyor motor 521 and the material handling conveyor motor 524, the abalone pass through the industrial camera group 517 with a certain interval. The conveyor belts of the material handling conveyor belt device 528 and the detection conveyor belt device 518 have a certain height difference.
[0035] In this embodiment, the defective product removal device may include a fixed base 533 that spans the upper side of the material handling conveyor belt and is height-adjustable. A waste discharge channel 516 is provided on one side of the material handling conveyor belt, and a waste collection box 514 is provided on the lower side of the waste discharge channel. A motor 534 is horizontally mounted on the fixed base. Three connecting rods 535 are installed at intervals along the circumferential direction on the output shaft of the motor. The end of each connecting rod is equipped with a discharge plate 536 for discharging abalone into the corresponding waste discharge channel. The motor rotates to push the discharge plate into the corresponding waste discharge channel, thereby removing defective abalone.
[0036] In this embodiment, the output end of the high-quality abalone slide device turns toward the high-quality abalone weighing device, and an abalone baffle device 519 is provided at the inlet end of the high-quality abalone slide device. A detection sensor is provided inside the high-quality abalone slide device.
[0037] In this embodiment, a first material handling photoelectric sensor 52 and a second material handling photoelectric sensor 54 are installed on the input end side of the material feeding baffle. A ground brake and ground wheel assembly 57 is installed at the lower end of the fourth frame, along with a main electrical control box mechanism 58. The main electrical control box mechanism includes a main control display device 59, an electrical component mounting assembly 510, electrical control elements 511, a vision display host 512, a vision display device 513, and a tri-color light 525. The industrial camera assembly is mounted on the fourth frame via a vision inspection bracket 515 and its height is adjustable. An image detection sensor 523 is also installed on the fourth frame.
[0038] In this embodiment, the high-quality abalone weighing device includes a fifth frame 61 supported on the ground by support blocks. A swaying abalone box placement platform 62 is mounted on the fifth frame. A conveyor belt device 64, driven by a motor 612 and equipped with a weighing mechanism 63 at one end, is located above the abalone box placement platform. Several pairs of cooperating through-beam sensors 65 and feeding mechanisms 66 are sequentially arranged on the conveyor belt device along the conveying direction. Discharge chutes 67, cooperating with the feeding mechanisms, are located between each pair of sensors and feeding mechanisms, on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt device. A receiving abalone box 68 is located below each discharge chute on the abalone box placement platform. A weight display 69 is installed on each discharge chute to display the weight of the receiving abalone box corresponding to that chute. The through-beam sensors 65 and feeding mechanisms 66 are paired one-to-one.
[0039] In this embodiment, the abalone box placement platform includes a lower frame 621, which is slidably connected to a fifth frame via a pair of longitudinal guide rail slide assemblies 610 to achieve left-right sliding (longitudinal sliding). A longitudinal rack 622 is installed at one end of the lower frame, and a left-right swaying motor 611 is fixedly installed on the fifth frame. The output shaft of the left-right swaying motor meshes with the longitudinal rack via gears, thereby driving the lower frame to slide left and right. An upper frame capable of sliding back and forth (lateral sliding) is provided above the lower frame. A transverse rack 624 is provided on the lower side of the upper frame, and a back-and-forth swaying motor 625 is fixedly installed on the lower frame. The output end of the back-and-forth swaying motor meshes with the transverse rack via gears, thereby driving the upper frame to slide back and forth. A base plate for placing the receiving abalone boxes is provided on the upper side of the upper frame. By driving the abalone box placement platform through the forward and reverse rotation of the left-right swaying motor and the back-and-forth swaying motor, the receiving abalone boxes can be swayed left and right and back and forth, preventing the abalone inside the boxes from piling up in one position.
[0040] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a mounting base 661 that spans the upper side of the conveyor belt mechanism and is height-adjustable. A drive motor 662 is horizontally mounted on the mounting base. Three fixed rods 663 are installed at intervals along the circumferential direction on the output shaft of the drive motor. A feeding plate 664 for feeding abalone into the corresponding discharge chute is installed at the end of the fixed rod. The feeding plate feeds the abalone into the corresponding discharge chute by rotating the drive motor.
[0041] The working principle is to use an open box of frozen cooked abalone filled with cooked food. The box is then flipped over by a vibrating feeding device and a conveying device to pour the abalone into a hopper. A sorting device sorts multiple abalone into individual abalone and conveys them. Defective products are identified and removed by image detection technology. Qualified products enter the next process for weighing through a slide. The good quality abalone weighing device completes the sorting and weighing of the abalone.
[0042] Specifically, taking the first abalone box filled with abalone as an example, the worker first places the opened abalone box containing abalone onto the preparation area roller mechanism 11. Then, the abalone box is pushed onto the vibration platform 12. After the diffuse reflection sensor 13 detects the abalone box, the motor in the vibration motor group 19 starts to vibrate. After the time is reached by the PLC control center, the lifting motor mechanism 110 is started to move the vibrated abalone box into the waiting area roller mechanism 14. (The tilt angle of the waiting area roller mechanism 14 can be adjusted and controlled by the up-down adjustment mechanism 17.) The abalone box slides onto the flow rack through the waiting area roller mechanism 14 and enters the waiting stage.
[0043] When the flip photoelectric sensor group 412 detects that there is no material in the hopper 419, and the second photoelectric through-beam sensor 32 detects a material presence signal (where the second photoelectric through-beam sensor 32 has a signal indicator green light 131 lit, and no signal indicator yellow light 314 lit), the 3-4 conveyor belt speed-regulating motor starts, and the 3-5 conveyor belt device transports the abalone box to the 3-6 photoelectric sensor 03 after it is detected. If the abalone box identification sensor under the 4-23 guide plate does not detect the abalone box signal, the 34 conveyor belt speed-regulating motor continues to move, transporting the abalone box to the abalone box falling onto the slide plate 49. After the sensor under the guide plate 423 detects the abalone box, the 4-4 flip servo motor device starts, driving the 4-5 connecting stepped shaft group, and the 4-6 flip support base plate group, and the 4-7 left and right adjustable baffle group, which together form the abalone box support device, to move the abalone box into the feed abalone box. Abalone is poured into hopper 4-19. The tilting servo motor 44, controlled by the PLC, rotates to a certain angle and then returns, guiding the abalone feeding box into the empty box drop chute 38. The empty abalone feeding box is collected. (The first drop detection photoelectric sensor 39 and the second drop detection photoelectric sensor 310: each time the first drop detection photoelectric sensor 39 sends a signal, the yellow light of the tri-color light 33 flashes once; when the signal is continuous, it indicates that the feeding abalone box is full, and the yellow light of the tri-color light 33 remains on. When the signal from the second drop detection photoelectric sensor 310 lasts for 20 seconds, it indicates that the empty feeding abalone box is full, and the red light of the tri-color light 33 flashes and an alarm sounds). When the tilting servo motor 44 pours abalone into hopper 419, the abalone flows through the discharge chute 411 onto the conveyor belt of the sorting conveyor belt device 528 for sorting. The waste chute 413 collects the slag from the vibration of the vibrating motor 414 and flows it into the waste collection box 418.
[0044] After multiple abalones fall onto the conveyor belt of the sorting conveyor device 528, there may be overlaps. The sorting device 55 will then sort the overlapping abalones into single or parallel outputs. During the conveying process of the sorting conveyor device 528, the abalones will contact the abalone sorting baffle device 526 (five identical devices in total) and be output in a row onto the conveyor belt of the detection conveyor device 518 (for convenient image recognition detection). The detection conveyor motor 521 controlled by the PLC and the motor speed of the sorting conveyor motor 524 will transport the abalone output from the sorting conveyor device 528 at intervals. After the image detection sensor 523 identifies the abalone signal, the camera in the industrial camera group 517 will be activated for image recognition and judgment. If there are defective abalones, the signal will be sent to the defective product ejection device 522. After the photoelectric sensor in front of the defective product ejection device 522 identifies the defective product, the ejection servo motor in the defective product ejection device 522 will be activated to eject the defective product from the conveyor belt. Defective abalone fall into waste collection box 514 through waste discharge channel 516 for waste collection, while good abalone are guided into good abalone slide device 520 through abalone baffle device 519 and slide into the next process for weighing.
[0045] pass Figure 6 After being weighed by the Zhongliangpin abalone weighing device, the abalone are conveyed via a conveyor belt. The feeding mechanism 66, after being identified by the through-beam sensor 65 in front of it, is activated to feed the abalone into the corresponding receiving box 68. The real-time weight of each receiving box 68 is displayed on the weight display 69. When the weight is reached, a three-color light 613 prompts the worker to change the box. A motor 611, via a longitudinal guide rail slide assembly 610, causes the receiving box placement platform 62 to sway left and right, back and forth, preventing accumulation in the boxes.
[0046] By combining photoelectric sensors, proximity sensors, diffuse reflection sensors, and motors, the entire production line is controlled in tandem by three Siemens PLC control systems. Parameters are adjustable, and daily output can be viewed. This ensures seamless coordination between different areas, significantly improving production efficiency.
