DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] See also Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, a frozen aquatic product packing device includes a mounting platform 1, a weighing instrument 6 for weighing, and a conveyor belt 7 for transporting cartons. The mounting platform 1 is provided with a camera 2 for visually identifying cartons, a control unit 3 for enhancing precision control, a positioning rod 4, and a corrector 5 for adjusting the position of the cartons. The mounting platform 1 has two mounting platforms 1 placed opposite to each other, the conveyor belt 7 is arranged on the side of the mounting platform 1 and is located between the two mounting platforms 1, the weighing instrument 6 is placed between the two transfer belts, the positioning rod 4 is arranged on the upper surface of the mounting platform 1, the camera 2 is slidably arranged on the positioning rod 4, the control unit 3 is arranged on the side of the mounting platform 1 and is on the side opposite to the position of the conveyor belt 7, and the corrector 5 is installed on the side of the control unit 3 and is above the conveyor belt 7.

[0026] The device transports empty cartons via a conveyor belt 7 until they are placed on a weighing meter 6, at which point the control unit 3 stops the movement of the conveyor belt 7. During this process, a camera 2 is used to observe the shape and size of the carton, and the control unit 3 drives a corrector 5 to adjust the specific position of the carton on the conveyor belt 7 to ensure that the aquatic product can accurately fall into the carton placed on the weighing meter 6. In the packing step of the aquatic product, the weighing meter 6 is used to measure the weight of the carton in real time and transmit the data to the control unit 3. When the carton is fully loaded, the control unit 3 continues to open the conveyor belt 7 to transport the fully loaded carton. The positioning rod 4 is used to adjust the height of the camera 2 to prevent the camera 2 from hindering the movement of the carton. The control unit 3 realizes intelligent management by manually inputting parameters, and automatically adjusts the packing speed and mode according to actual needs. The entire device not only greatly improves the packing efficiency, but also greatly reduces the product damage rate, ensuring the integrity and freshness of the frozen aquatic product.

[0027] See also Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, a card slot 21 and a main board 23 are provided on the bracket 22, the bracket 22 is slidably set on the positioning rod 4, the camera 2 array is installed in the middle of the bracket 22, the card slot 21 is set on both sides of the bracket 22, and the main board 23 is installed on the side of the bracket 22.

[0028] The card slot 21 is used for the bracket 22 to connect the positioning rod 4, and the main board 23 is used to digitize the image captured by the camera 2 and transmit it to the control unit 3, which facilitates the rapid installation and removal of the camera 2 on the bracket 22 and facilitates timely maintenance of high-precision parts such as the camera 2.

[0029] See also Figure 3 As shown, a pulley 211 and a latch 212 are provided in the slot 21 , the two pulleys 211 are rotatably installed in the slot 21 and are located on both sides of the positioning rod 4 , the sockets 213 are arranged in an array on the positioning rod 4 , and the latch 212 passes through the slot 21 and is installed in the sockets 213 .

[0030] The pulley 211 is used to reduce the friction loss between the bracket 22 and the positioning rod 4 to increase the service life of both. The sizes of the latch 212 and the socket 213 correspond to each other, which facilitates fixing the bracket 22 on the positioning rod 4.

[0031] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main board 23 is connected with a first data cable 231, a transmission cable 232 and a wire rack 233, one end of the first data cable 231 is connected to the camera 2, and the other end is connected to the main board 23, the wire rack 233 is vertically mounted on the card slot 21, one end of the transmission cable 232 is mounted on the side of the main board 23, and the other end is connected to the control unit 3 through the wire rack 233.

[0032] The first data line 231 is used to transmit the image data on the camera 2. The camera 2 can be removed from the bracket 22 by disconnecting the first data line 231. The transmission line 232 is used to transmit the data on the main board 23 to the control unit 3 for centralized processing. In order to prevent the transmission line 232 from falling onto the conveyor belt 7, the line rack 233 is used to extend the falling position of the transmission line 232.

[0033] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the control unit 3 is provided with a control panel, a display screen 32, a boss 34 and a baffle 33. The control panel and the display screen 32 are arranged on the surface of the control unit 3, the boss 34 is installed at one end of the control unit 3, and the baffle 33 is rotatably installed on the boss 34.

[0034] The control panel and display screen 32 are used for manual identification and parameter input for adjustment, and the boss 34 is used to raise the position of the baffle 33, and the baffle 33 is used to stop the carton to prevent it from deviating from the specified position due to inertia.

[0035] See also Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, the corrector 5 is provided with a roller 51, a rotating shaft 52, a telescopic rod 53 and a joint 54. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 53 is installed on the side of the control unit 3, and the top end is provided with a joint 54. The rotating shaft 52 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the joint 54. The corrector 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 52, and the roller 51 array is arranged on the upper surface of the corrector 5.

[0036] The roller 51 is used to reduce the friction between the corrector 5 and the side of the carton to avoid damage to the carton. The telescopic rod 53 is extended and retracted under the control of the control unit 3. When the control unit 3 receives the data of the initial position of the carton from the camera 2, the telescopic rod 53 is extended and retracted to adjust the angle of the corrector 5 on the joint 54 by extending and shortening the telescopic rod 53, so that the corrector 5 can adjust the position of the carton slightly.

[0037] See also Figure 1 to Figure 6As shown, a conveying roller 61, a connecting plate 62, a telescopic column 63, a spring 64 and a second data line 65 are installed on the weighing meter 6. The conveying roller 61 is installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 62. One end of the telescopic column 63 is connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 62, and the other end is connected to the upper surface of the weighing meter 6. The spring 64 is surrounded by the outer side of the telescopic column 63. The second data line 65 is connected between the weighing meter 6 and the control unit 3.

[0038] Since the carton will be impacted by the products when loaded on the weighing meter 6 and generate downward pressure, in order to avoid damage to the weighing meter 6, a spring 64 is used to mitigate the impact. The telescopic column 63 is used to position and install the spring 64. The connecting plate 62 is used to position and install the conveying roller 61 and distribute the downward pressure to reduce the pressure. The second data line 65 is used to transmit gravity data to the control unit 3.

[0039] See also Figure 6 As shown, the conveyor belt 7 is provided with a driven wheel 71, a driving wheel 72, a motor 73 and a power cord 74. The driven wheel 71 is rotatably arranged on the side of the mounting platform 1, the driving wheel 72 is installed at one end of the conveyor belt 7, the motor 73 passes through the mounting platform 1 and is connected to the driving wheel 72, and the power cord 74 is connected between the motor 73 and the control unit 3.

[0040] The driven wheel 71 is used to support the conveyor belt 7, and the driving wheel 72 is controlled by the motor 73 to drive the conveyor belt 7 to move. The control unit 3 controls the rotation of the motor 73 through the power line 74 to adjust the rotation speed of the driving wheel 72 to change the packing speed.

[0041] The above embodiments only express one or several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention.
