Detailed Implementation
[0018] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-6An automated silkworm breeding robot includes a base 1, on which a placement platform 2, a collection box 11, and a column 5 are sequentially mounted. A breeding box 3 and a PLC controller 15 are fixed on the placement platform 2. Multiple breeding boxes 301 are movably arranged in the breeding box 3, and a dispersing mechanism is movably provided in each breeding box 301. A camera 306 for capturing images is mounted on the side of each breeding box 301. A lifting platform 6 is movably connected to the column 5. A connecting plate 10 is movably arranged on the top of the lifting platform 6, and a picking frame 4 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 10.

An adsorption mechanism 4010 and a gripper 409 are movably arranged on the first moving block 404 and the second moving block 406, respectively.
[0020] In practical use, by setting up the selection box 3 and multiple selection boxes 301 in the selection box 3, silkworm eggs, larvae, pupae, cocoons, and moths can be selected and bred. By setting up a dispersing mechanism inside the selection box 301, the silkworms can be dispersed to prevent them from piling up and affecting the camera 306 in capturing the selection of defective products. Through the movable adsorption mechanism 4010 and grippers 409, defective products can be removed as needed, effectively ensuring the quality of the silkworm varieties in the selection box 301.

Specifically, the hydraulic cylinder 14 can drive the connecting rod 7 and the lifting platform 6 connected to the connecting rod 7 to rise and fall, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the lifting platform 6 and the linear motor 8 above the lifting platform 6. This allows for the adjustment of the height of the picking frame 4 according to requirements, adapting to the picking work. The linear motor 8 facilitates the lateral movement of the connecting plate 10 and the picking frame 4 below the connecting plate 10, thereby facilitating effective picking work.
[0023] In this embodiment, a guide rod 403 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the picking frame 4. Both mounting frames 401 are slidably mounted on the guide rod 403. Third cylinders 405 are installed at both ends of the outer side of the picking frame 4. The telescopic ends of the two third cylinders 405 are respectively connected to the two mounting frames 401.

Specifically, the guide rod 403 facilitates the stable movement of the mounting frame 401 in the picking frame 4. By starting the third cylinder 405, the positions of the two mounting frames 401 can be adjusted as needed, so that the corresponding gripper 409 or adsorption mechanism 4010 can be selected for removal according to the actual removal requirements. By starting the two second cylinders 402, the lateral position of the gripper 409 or adsorption mechanism 4010 can be adjusted, so that defective products in the silkworms can be removed from multiple directions.
[0024] The working principle of the adsorption mechanism 4010 is that of a traditional micro-adsorption device used to adsorb larvae or silkworm eggs.
[0025] In this embodiment, the gripper 409 includes a gripping frame 4091, a fifth cylinder 4092, a connecting block 4093, a movable rod 4094, a gripping plate 4095, and an inner movable rod 4096. The gripping frame 4091 is connected to the drive end of the rotary motor 408. The fifth cylinder 4092 is installed at the bottom center of the gripping frame 4091 and is electrically connected to the PLC controller 15. The telescopic end of the fifth cylinder 4092 is connected to the connecting block 4093. The two ends of the inner movable rod 4096 are respectively movably disposed on the connecting block 4094. 3. In the movable rod 4094, the top of the movable rod 4094 is hinged to the bottom of the clamping frame 4091, and the bottom of the movable rod 4094 is connected to the clamping plate 4095. The inner side of the clamping plate 4095 is provided with a non-slip flexible pad with textured surface. Specifically, by activating the fifth cylinder 4092, the connecting movable block 4093 can be moved, thereby moving the clamping plate 4095 to achieve the clamping function. By setting the flexible pad and the textured surface on the flexible pad, the silkworm can be prevented from being damaged during the clamping process, while also ensuring stable clamping.
[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of first cylinders 3013 are evenly arranged on one side of the interior of the breeding box 3. The first cylinders 3013 are matched with the breeding box 301. The telescopic ends of the first cylinders 3013 are connected to the side of the breeding box 301. A baffle is provided on the inner side of the breeding box 301. The side of the baffle and the interior of the breeding box 301 form a cavity. A waste box 302 is movably installed in the cavity. A temperature controller is also provided inside the breeding box 3 to regulate the overall temperature inside the breeding box 3. The breeding box 3 is electrically connected to a power supply mechanism 308. The inner wall of the selection box 301 has a sliding groove, in which a corrugated sleeve 304 is installed. A slider 305 is fixedly connected between the corrugated sleeves 304, and the slider 305 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove. The two sides of the selection box 301 are hollow, and a servo motor 3011 is installed inside. The telescopic end of the servo motor 3011 is connected to a screw 3010, and a threaded block 309 is threaded on the screw 3010. The threaded block 309 is fixedly connected to the slider 305. The servo motor 3011 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 15. The dispersing mechanism includes a dispersing plate 307 and a connecting rod 3012. The connecting rod 3012 is fixed between the two sliders 305. The dispersing plate 307 is arranged in an inverted U-shape and is made of flexible PVC material. Specifically, the first cylinder 3013 can be activated to push the corresponding selection box 301, thereby facilitating the selection of silkworms in the corresponding selection box 301. After the corresponding selection box 301 extends, the corresponding gripper 409 or adsorption mechanism 4010 can be controlled to move to perform the selection. The servo motor 3011 can be controlled to drive the threaded block 309 to move, thereby driving the connecting rod 3012 and the dispersing plate 307 to move, thus dispersing the silkworms and preventing them from piling up and affecting the shooting. After the connecting rod 3012 and the dispersing plate 307 move, the servo motor 3011 moves them to below the camera 306 to prevent them from affecting the shooting of the camera 306. The corrugated sleeve 304 can prevent the silkworms from crawling into the groove and will not affect the normal movement of the threaded block 309 and the slider 305.
[0027] This invention also includes an automated silkworm selection method, which comprises the following steps: S1, Input: Through the human-computer interaction interface of the central control module of the peripheral device, input the variety name, breeding batch, and standard characteristic parameters of each developmental stage of the silkworm, and retrieve them from the built-in variety database. S2, selection and breeding: place silkworm eggs, larvae, pupae, cocoons, and moths in the selection box 301 of the selection box 3 respectively, and start the temperature controller to regulate the internal temperature of the selection box 3 as needed; S3, determine, synchronously transmit the entered data to the human-machine interface connected to the PLC controller 15, start the first cylinder 3013 in the breeding box 3, the first cylinder 3013 pushes the corresponding breeding box 301 for placing silkworm eggs, larvae, pupae, cocoons and moths, the PLC controller 15 determines the corresponding breeding box 301, and selects the corresponding gripper 409 or adsorption mechanism 4010 according to the requirements; S4, rejection. The camera 306 in the sequentially released breeding boxes 301 records the video in real time and uploads it to the terminal of the peripheral device. The terminal of the peripheral device identifies the corresponding defective products according to the standard feature parameters entered in S1, selects the corresponding defective products, and transmits the corresponding instructions to the PLC controller 15. The PLC controller 15 controls the corresponding gripper 409 or adsorption mechanism 4010 to move and select the defective products to the waste box 302 on the side of the corresponding breeding box 301 for temporary storage. After the rejection work of the corresponding breeding box 301 is completed, the corresponding waste box 302 is transferred to the collection box 11 for unified collection through the gripper 409. S5, Record, records the data removed in S4 in the peripheral device's storage template; S6, repeat steps 2-5 in a cyclical manner until the breeding work of this batch of silkworms is completed. The central control module generates a batch breeding summary report, which includes key indicators such as total sample size, number of defective products, and pass rate.
[0028] In S3, the adsorption mechanism 4010 is used to adsorb silkworm eggs and larvae in the corresponding breeding box 301, and the gripper 409 is used to grip the pupae, cocoons, moths in the corresponding breeding box 301, as well as to grip the waste box 302 on the side of the breeding box 301 separately.
[0029] In actual operation, the gripper 409 is driven by the fifth cylinder 4092, which in turn moves the clamping plate 4095 to clamp the silkworm or the waste box 302. During the clamping of the silkworm, the fifth cylinder 4092 maintains the clamping distance under the control of the PLC controller 15 to prevent excessive clamping that could lead to the loss of the silkworm. When clamping the waste box 302, the fifth cylinder 4092 can stably clamp the waste box 302 under the control of the PLC controller 15.
[0030] Working principle: Workers place silkworms according to their stage (egg, larva, pupa, cocoon, moth) into the selection boxes 301 of the selection box 3. As needed, the temperature controller is activated to regulate the internal temperature of the selection box 3. The first cylinder 3013 is then activated sequentially, causing multiple selection boxes 301 to be pushed out one by one. Based on recorded data, the PLC controller 15 selects the corresponding gripper 409 or suction mechanism 4010, first driving the servo motor 3011, which in turn drives the connecting rod 3012 to disperse... The dispersing plate 307 moves to disperse the silkworms. After dispersion, the moving drive servo motor 3011 moves the connecting rod 3012 and the dispersing plate 307 to the end of the selection box 301, without affecting the recording work of the camera 306. The camera 306 transmits the recorded video to the human-machine interface connected to the PLC controller 15 in real time to determine the location of defective silkworms and transmits instructions to the PLC controller 15. The PLC controller 15 then controls the hydraulic cylinder 14, linear motor 8, third cylinder 405, and the... The linkage of the two cylinders 402, grippers 409, and adsorption mechanism 4010 is used to remove defective products. The removed defective products are temporarily placed in the waste box 302, and afterwards, the waste box 302 is transferred from the waste box 302 to the collection box 11 by the grippers 409. During the removal process, instructions are transmitted to the PLC controller 15, which selects the corresponding grippers 409 and adsorption mechanism 4010. When grippers 409 are needed for removal, the PLC controller 15 controls the third cylinder near the gripper 409. When cylinder 405 moves, it pushes the mounting frame 401 containing grippers 409 to move. When the adsorption mechanism 4010 is needed for adsorption and rejection, the PLC controller 15 controls the third cylinder 405 near the adsorption mechanism 4010 to move, pushing the mounting frame 401 containing the adsorption mechanism 4010 to move. The grippers 409 can be adjusted in position by rotating motor 408, and the adsorption mechanism 4010 can be adjusted in height by fourth cylinder 407, so as to facilitate the misalignment of the grippers 409 and the adsorption mechanism 4010.
