[0067] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are further described in detail below:

[0068] See appendix Figure 1 , attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 This application proposes a crab processing system, comprising:

[0069] Sorting turntable 26 and sorting turntable drive device 02.

[0070] The sorting turntable drive device 02 drives the sorting turntable to rotate, thereby realizing automatic sorting of crabs.

[0071] The sorting turntable 26 is equipped with multiple sets of rotating arms, suction heads, air pipes, photoelectric sensors, and air pumps. The air pump 05 is located on the inner side of the sorting turntable. Multiple rotating arms are located on the outer side of the sorting turntable and are evenly distributed.

[0072] For any given set of rotating arms, suction heads, air pipes, and air pumps, the suction head is located at the end of the rotating arm. The suction head is connected to the air pump via the air pipe.

[0073] The aforementioned photoelectric sensor is mounted on the bottom surface of the aforementioned rotating arm, facing the aforementioned suction head.

[0074] In this embodiment, a controller 01 may be provided, which includes a memory 012 and a processor 011.

[0075] Each photoelectric sensor and air pump is connected to controller 01. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether a crab appears under the suction head. After detecting a crab, it sends an electrical signal to controller 01, which then controls the air pump to start, and the suction head automatically sucks up the crab.

[0076] The technical solution of this application includes a sorting turntable and a sorting turntable drive device. The sorting turntable drive device drives the sorting turntable to rotate. The user only needs to place the crab on the suction head. The photoelectric sensor detects the crab and sends an electrical signal to the controller. The controller controls the air pump to actuate, adsorbing the crab onto the suction head. The turntable drive device then drives the sorting turntable to rotate, moving the crab to other positions. Compared with existing technologies, this significantly improves the level of intelligence, saves a lot of manpower, and helps reduce labor costs. It also helps improve sorting efficiency.

[0077] In some embodiments, the rotating arm 24 described above includes a first part and a second part.

[0078] The first part mentioned above includes a bottom surface, two side facades, and a top surface. The first end of the first part is connected to the sorting turntable.

[0079] The bottom surface, two side facades, and top surface constitute a hollow, enclosed structure for the passage of the aforementioned air duct.

[0080] The second part mentioned above includes a bottom surface. The suction head mentioned above is provided at the end of the bottom surface.

[0081] In this embodiment, the rotating arm 24 can be made of plastic. To reduce weight, the second part can be designed as an open structure with only a bottom surface, eliminating the other surfaces. The first part is designed as a hollow structure, partly to allow the air tube to pass through, and partly to reduce weight. The lighter the rotating arm 24, the easier it is to achieve precise position control.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second portion of the rotating arm 24 is further provided with a hollow frame 241 for fixing the air tube. The air tube passes through the hollow frame 241 to facilitate fixing. The hollow frame 241 has a cuboid structure, and the side surfaces of the hollow frame are all free of material filling to reduce weight, retaining the frame ribs.

[0083] In this embodiment, the material in the hollow frame 241 is removed from the side and top surfaces, leaving only the connecting frame ribs. This design allows the air tube to penetrate the hollow frame from various angles, effectively securing it. This design also helps keep the air tube straight, as a straight shape facilitates smooth gas flow. If the air tube is bent, or if the air pressure is too high, one end of the air tube may detach from the inhalation head.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 4 The sorting turntable drive device 02 is located in the lower cabinet of the sorting turntable 26. The sorting turntable drive device 02 includes at least: a hollow shaft 52, a chain 55, a geared motor 56, a first bearing, and a second bearing. The hollow shaft 52 is vertically arranged in the lower cabinet of the sorting turntable; the first bearing is located in the top end cover of the lower cabinet. The first end of the hollow shaft 52 is sleeved in the inner sleeve of the first bearing, and the second end of the hollow shaft 52 is fixed to the bearing seat of the second bearing. The output shaft of the geared motor 56 and the gear sleeved on the hollow shaft 52 are located on the same horizontal plane; when the output shaft of the geared motor 56 rotates, it drives the gear on the hollow shaft 52 and the hollow shaft 52 to rotate via the chain 55. The hollow shaft 52 drives the sorting turntable to rotate.

[0085] In some embodiments, the bearing housing of the second bearing is provided with a plurality of alternating protrusions and grooves.

[0086] In some embodiments, the sorting turntable drive device 02 further includes a speed regulator; the output end of the speed regulator is connected to the input end of the geared motor 56.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 5 It also includes a movable reflector 41 and a camera 03. During operation, the reflector 41 is positioned upwards at a predetermined angle to the horizontal plane to reflect an image of the crab's abdomen; the camera 03 is aimed at the reflector 41 to capture an image of the crab's abdomen through the reflector 41. The reflector design prevents dust from accumulating on the camera 03 during prolonged shooting and avoids spills of liquid from the crab dripping onto the camera 03.

[0088] In some embodiments, the reflector 41 is embedded in a frame, which includes a first frame 411, a second frame 412, and a third frame 413. A first end of the first frame 411 is rotatably connected to a crossbeam of a bracket. A first end of the second frame 412 is rotatably connected to a crossbeam of the bracket.

[0089] In this embodiment, hinges or other similar components can be used to achieve the rotation function. Hinges or hinges are installed on the crossbeam. A hinge can be connected to the first end of the second frame 412, enabling a rotatable connection to the crossbeam of the support.

[0090] The second end of the first border 411 is connected to the first end of the third border 413. The second end of the second border 412 is connected to the second end of the third border 413.

[0091] After image capture is completed, controller 01 controls sorting turntable drive device 02 to drive the sorting turntable to rotate. The crabs with captured images are moved to the target location for weighing. Capturing images of the crabs facilitates further identification and processing using relevant image technologies.

[0092] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 6 , attached Figure 7 , attached Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 It also includes a weighing turntable 61; the weighing turntable 61 includes multiple sub-areas.

[0093] The weighing turntable drive device 06 is used to drive the weighing turntable to rotate. The internal structure of the weighing turntable drive device 06 is the same as that of the sorting turntable drive device 02. It also uses a motor to drive the hollow shaft to rotate, and the hollow shaft drives the weighing turntable 61 to rotate.

[0094] Each sub-area is equipped with a set of baffles 09, hinges 011, baffle drive device 07 and pressure sensor 08 at the bottom.

[0095] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 08 sends the detected pressure value to the controller 01. For any set of baffles 09, hinges 011, and baffle driving devices 07, the baffles 09 are fixed to the first page of the hinges 011, and the second page of the hinges 011 is fixed to the column.

[0096] A hinge support 010 is provided at the bottom of the aforementioned baffle 09. The aforementioned baffle driving device 07 includes: a baffle driving motor 071, a first driving hinge 072, and a second driving hinge 073. The output shaft of the aforementioned baffle driving motor 071 is connected to the first end of the aforementioned first driving hinge. The second end of the aforementioned first driving hinge 071 is movably connected to the first end of the aforementioned second driving hinge 072. The second end of the aforementioned second driving hinge 072 is movably connected to the aforementioned hinge support 010.

[0097] When the baffle drive motor 071 rotates in the first direction, it drives the first drive hinge 071 and the second drive hinge 072 to move in the bottom direction, so that the baffle 09 opens.

[0098] When the baffle drive motor 071 rotates in the second direction, it drives the first drive hinge 071 and the second drive hinge 072 to move in the top direction, so that the baffle 09 closes.

[0099] In this embodiment, the controller 01 can control the baffle drive device 07 as needed to open the baffle 09. After opening, the crab automatically falls onto the slide 011 and into the bucket. This improves the level of automation.

[0100] In some embodiments, a display screen is also included, which is connected to the controller 01, and the display screen is used to display the weight value of the crab.

[0101] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of this disclosure. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
