[0039] Hook mechanism 6, which includes a support frame 601 fixed on the frame 1, moving tracks 602 are fixed on both sides of the support frame 601, a hook 603 is slidably connected inside the moving tracks 602, there are two symmetrically arranged hooks 603, and the support frame 601 is located above the conveyor belt 401;

[0040] A cutting tool mechanism 7, the cutting tool mechanism 7 includes a cutting tool 701 located on one side of the hook 603, and the cutting tool 701 is rotatably connected to the frame 1;

[0041] A material distribution chute 8, the material distribution chute 8 is located below the hook 603 and is screw-mounted inside the frame 1.

[0042] It further includes a distribution box 9 and a controller electrically connected to the distribution box 9. The distribution box 9 is screw-mounted on one side of the frame 1. The controller is provided with a PLC device, a pneumatic controller, an electric controller, a vision sensor and a touch screen. The controller has a built-in operation program and controls the feeding mechanism 3, the conveying mechanism 4, the hair-pulling mechanism 5, the hook mechanism 6 and the cutting tool mechanism 7 based on the PLC device through the pneumatic controller and the electric controller. The vision sensor is placed inside the hopper 306.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mussels entering the hopper 306 are all in a semi-cooked and slightly opened state, and the torsion spring provided therein realizes automatic reset without external force.

[0044] The specific implementation manner is that the track 2 is V-shaped, a peeling piece 10 is screw-fixed in the middle of the track 2, the peeling piece 10 is arranged at the end away from the feeding mechanism 3, and a middle track 2 frame fixed to the frame 1 is provided above the track 2. A number of equally spaced inverted V-shaped elastic pressing pieces 12 are rotatably connected inside the middle track 2 frame.

[0045] The specific feeding mechanism 3 further includes a bottom plate 301 screw-connected to the side of the frame 1. A vertical rod 302 is fixed at the upper end of the bottom plate 301. Two vertical rods 302 are symmetrically arranged. The lifting frame 303 is fixed between the two vertical rods 302. A V-shaped guide groove 304 is fixed inside the lifting frame 303. The V-shaped guide groove 304 is inclined towards the track 2. A U-shaped rod 305 fixed to the side of the vertical rod 302 is provided on one side of the two vertical rods 302, and the hopper 306 is fixed inside the U-shaped rod 305.

[0046] A lifting belt 307 is rotatably connected inside the lifting frame 303. One end of the lifting belt 307 is connected to a second motor 308 installed on the side of the vertical rod 302. A number of equally spaced cross bars 309 are fixed on the lifting belt 307. A clamping plate 310 for clamping mussels is fixed on the cross bar 309. The clamping plate 310 is conical, and a through groove is opened on the side away from the cross bar 309. One end of the clamping plate 310 is the large opening end, and the other end is the small opening end. The large opening end of the clamping plate 310 faces the rotation direction of the lifting belt 307. A through groove 311 is provided on the side of the hopper 306 facing the lifting frame 303, and the clamping plate 310 corresponds to the position of the through groove 311.

[0047] The specific process of loading is as follows: mussels gather inside the hopper 306, and the lifting belt 307 is rotated by the second motor 308, and the crossbar 309 is equidistantly arranged, so as the crossbar 309 passes through the through slot 311 at the hopper 306 one by one, the clamping plate 310 on the crossbar 309 will carry the mussels one by one and follow the lifting belt 307 to move in an oblique upward direction. When moving to the turning corner of the lifting belt 307, the mussels automatically fall into the V-shaped guide groove 304, and slide onto the track 2 with the V-shaped guide groove 304 under the action of the gravity of the mussels. Due to the large and small state of the clamping plate on the top and bottom, the mussels falling into the clamping plate 310 are all open upward, ensuring that the mussels become open downward after falling onto the V-shaped guide groove 304. Further, a number of equidistantly arranged push plates 403 are screwed fixed on the conveyor belt 401, and the middle part of the push plates 403 is for the track 2 to pass through.

[0048] Then, the mussels that have slid onto the track 2 slide along the track 2 one by one under the intermittent pushing action of the pushing plate 403 . The mussels first pass through the plucking mechanism 5 on the track 2 , and the plucking mechanism 5 removes the byssus on the mussel shell.

[0049] Specifically, the hair plucking mechanism 5 is provided with two elastic clips 501 , the two elastic clips 501 are symmetrically arranged about the middle of the track 2 , a cam 502 is arranged between the two elastic clips 501 , and a third motor 503 is connected to the axis of the cam 502 .

[0050] When the two elastic clips 501 are in a static state, the elastic clips 501 are angled near the two ends of the track, and the cam 502 does not contact the two elastic clips 501 in the vertical direction. In the initial state, the cam 502 is in a horizontal state, abutting the two elastic clips 501, and the two elastic clips 501 are both bent. After the third motor 503 is turned on, the third motor 503 drives the cam 502 to rotate. After the cam 502 starts to rotate from the horizontal direction, the cam 502 is gradually in a vertical state, and then there is no external force between the two elastic clips 501. The two elastic clips 501 automatically rotate to the upper end contact state, at this time, the mussel byssus at the position of the elastic clip 501 is clamped, and as the conveyor belt 401 continues to drive, the mussel is driven to remove the byssus on the mussel during the forward movement. At the same time, when the cam 502 performs the next stroke, it abuts the elastic clip 501 again to open the elastic clip 501, and so on, and the mussels are plucked one by one according to their movement.

[0051] At the same time, when the mussels move with the conveyor belt 401, the inverted V-shaped elastic pressure plate 12 above the conveyor belt 401 presses the mussels forward to prevent the mussels from changing direction during the forward movement. The inverted V-shaped elastic pressure plate 12 is elastic. According to the above description, the inverted V-shaped elastic pressure plate 12 has torsion springs at both ends. When the mussels move forward, the inverted V-shaped elastic pressure plate 12 is pressed against the inverted V-shaped elastic pressure plate 12 and rotates upward. Under the rebound action of the torsion spring, the mussels can be pressed down.

[0052] After passing through the plucking mechanism 5 , the stripping sheet 10 is directly inserted into the open end of the mussel under the action of the V-shaped elastic pressing sheet 12 during the forward movement of the mussel, so as to facilitate the subsequent shelling by the hook mechanism 6 .

[0053] The hook mechanism 6 also includes a symmetrical M-shaped moving groove 604 arranged inside the moving track 602, and a roller 605 is slidably connected inside the M-shaped moving groove 604. Each of the hooks 603 is elastically rotatably connected between two rollers 605. A fixed plate 606 is fixed at the upper end of the two hooks 603, and the fixed plate 606 is connected to a cylinder 607 fixed on the support frame 601 at the end away from the hook 603.

[0054] At the front end of the hook mechanism 6 is a tool mechanism 7, which mainly includes a tool 701. A tool rod 702 is fixed to the end of the tool 701 away from the hook 603, and a turntable 703 is fixed to the other end of the tool rod 702. The turntable 703 is rotatably connected to a fixed block 704 away from the end of the tool rod 702. A transmission shaft 705 is fixedly penetrated inside the fixed block 704, and one end of the transmission shaft 705 is connected to a fourth motor 706, which is fixed to the frame 1 with screws, wherein the tool 701 is in an initial position and coincides with the center line of the track 2.

[0055] At the same time, a pressure rod 13 is elastically connected to the end of the track 2 close to the support frame 601, and the pressure rod 13 is V-shaped.

[0056] When the mussels opened by the peeling sheet 10 are transferred to the hook mechanism 6, the direction of the mussels is adjusted again by the pressure rod 13, such as Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, ensure that the narrow end of the mussel faces the hook mechanism 6. At this time, the cylinder 607 in the hook mechanism 6 works, and the cylinder 607 drives the fixed plate 606 to move downward. The fixed plate 606 drives the roller 605 to move downward along the M-shaped movable groove 604 inside the movable track 602. Due to the elastic connection between the hook 603 and the roller 605, as the roller 605 moves from the protruding point of the M-shaped movable groove 604 to the recessed part of the M-shaped movable groove 604, the two hooks 603 are automatically opened. At this time, the position of the hook 603 is below the mussel. When the cylinder 607 drives the fixed plate 606 to move upward again, the hook 603 closes and moves upward again. At this time, the two hooks 603 enter the mussel shell at the same time. As the hook 603 closes, the space inside the mussel shell is gradually filled, and then the mussel shell is squeezed to open. At this time, the fourth motor 706 is turned on synchronously, and the fourth motor 706 drives the fixed block 704 to rotate. The fixed block 704 drives the turntable 703 to rotate along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 705, and the turntable 703 drives the knife rod 702 and the knife 701 to rotate. The knife 701 is gradually inserted into the inside of the mussel. Since the inside of the mussel is occupied by the hook 603, when the knife rod 702 is extended, the knife rod 702 is hit by the hook 603 and deviates from the center line of the track 2, driving the turntable 703 to rotate along its own axial direction, and then the knife 701 offsets the mussel meat to the inside of one side shell, and as the hook 603 moves upward, the knife 701 returns to the initial position, and the two shells are automatically classified. The half shell without mussel meat automatically falls into the inside of the material distribution slide 8, and the half shell with mussel meat is collected together with the mussel meat.

[0057] The above-mentioned first motor 402, second motor 308, third motor 503, fourth motor 706 and cylinder 607 are all automatically controlled by visual sensors, pneumatic controllers and electric controllers based on PLC control systems, which specifically complete the overall processes of mussel loading, plucking, conveying, shelling and separation, and realize fully automatic separation of mussel shells and meat.

[0058] In particular, a conveyor belt for discarded half shells can be connected to the material distribution chute 8, a conveyor belt for mussel byssus is arranged at the bottom of the plucking mechanism 5, and a conveyor belt for finished half-shell mussels is arranged on the side of the material distribution chute 8. These conveyor belts are respectively used for transporting and collecting various materials generated in the automated processing process.
