Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screening equipment, in particular to abalone size screening equipment. Background Art

[0002] Abalone is a primitive marine shellfish, a single-shell mollusk with only half a shell. The shell is thick, flat and wide. Abalone is a traditional precious food in China and is known as the "crown of seafood on the table." The selling price of abalone is closely related to its size. The larger the size, the higher the price. Therefore, abalone needs to be screened by size after being caught to facilitate classification, pricing, and packaging for sale.

[0003] The equipment currently commonly used in the market for abalone size screening is mostly similar in overall structure. It uses a conveyor belt as the main body, and the staff places the abalone one by one on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt drives the abalone to move, the visual detection system collects the image information of the abalone and judges its size. The abalone of corresponding specifications is blown into the corresponding guide groove through high-pressure airflow. In actual use, there are some functional deficiencies and there is room for improvement. For example, abalone needs to be put into water to keep alive after being caught, and is also directly taken out of the water during classification. There are many water stains on the surface of the conveyor belt. During the screening process, a large amount of water stains accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt, which is easy to breed bacteria and odor. It is troublesome to clean up later and affects the environment of the work area. Abalone itself is a fresh food and is easily contaminated with bacteria and lesions. It does not have the function of facilitating the cleaning of water stains on the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0026] See also Figure 1-4 , an abalone size screening device also includes a water removal component, which includes a water collection tank 6, the water collection tank 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom of the conveyor belt outer frame 12, and a drain pipe interface 7 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the right side of the bottom of the water collection tank 6. Two groups of sponge guide plates 8 are longitudinally welded between the front and rear ends of the water collection tank 6. Two groups of first electric cylinders 9 are installed on the left side of the bottom of the water collection tank 6. A concave bracket 10 is horizontally placed between one side of the two groups of sponge guide plates 8, and a water-absorbing sponge rod 11 is glued to the inside of the concave bracket 10;

[0027] The interiors of the conveyor belt outer frame 12, the water collection tank 6, and the drain pipe interface 7 are interconnected. The top of the drain pipe interface 7 is lower than the bottom of the concave bracket 10. The output end of the first electric cylinder 9 is connected to the bottom of the concave bracket 10.

The output end of the second electric cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to a partition plate 24, and there is a distance between the bottom end of the partition plate 24 and the top of the conveyor belt body 13. The second electric cylinder 23 and the visual inspection camera 26 are electrically connected to separate the stacked abalone;

[0032] Specifically, if Figure 2and Figure 4 As shown, the visual detection camera 26 collects abalone image information. When it is determined that there is stacking, the second electric cylinder 23 on the electric cylinder fixing frame 22 extends forward and pushes the stacked abalone apart through the partition plate 24.

[0033] Working principle: when the utility model is in use, first, the staff places abalone one by one on the conveyor belt main body 13, and the conveyor belt main body 13 transports the abalone to below the first concave frame 21, and the visual detection camera 26 collects abalone image information and judges size specification, when arriving at the corresponding guide groove 14 place, the second nozzle 16 sprays high-pressure airflow, blows the abalone into the guide groove 14, and the material basket placed below the guide groove 14 can undertake the abalone that falls, and the water stain on the abalone surface adheres to the conveyor belt main body 13 surface, as the conveyor belt main body 13 continues to operate, the water-absorbing sponge rod 11 keeps wiping and absorbing the water stain on the conveyor belt main body 13 surface, and the first electric cylinder 9 regularly starts and pushes up once and resets, and the concave bracket 10 ascends along the sponge guide plate 8 and falls back and resets, squeezing the water-absorbing sponge rod 11 upwards, and the accumulated water inside the water-absorbing sponge rod 11 is squeezed out and discharged along the drain pipe interface 7 at the bottom of the sump 6. As the second nozzle 16 ejects airflow to push abalone into the guide groove 14, the infrared signal between the infrared transmitter 18 in the first guide plate 17 and the infrared receiver 20 in the second guide plate 19 can be interrupted once, indicating that the abalone is successfully blown in. After the second nozzle 16 sprays, there is no interruption in the infrared transmitter 18 and infrared receiver 20 signals, and the first nozzle 15 starts and performs secondary spraying. As the abalone passes below the second concave frame 25, the visual inspection camera 26 collects abalone image information. When it is judged that there is a stacking situation, the second electric cylinder 23 on the electric cylinder fixing frame 22 extends forward and is separated by the stacked abalone by pushing the dividing plate 24.
