Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crayfish sorting technology, specifically a sorting mechanism for crayfish processing. Background Technology
[0002] As a popular aquatic product, the sorting process for crayfish is crucial. Traditional crayfish sorting relies mainly on manual operation, which is inefficient and easily affected by human factors, resulting in low sorting accuracy. With the development of technology, crayfish image recognition sorting machines have gradually been introduced into the processing flow. This equipment uses cameras to capture images of crayfish, combines artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze the crayfish's size, color, shape, and other characteristics, and classifies them according to preset standards (such as weight, color, and integrity), thereby achieving automated sorting.
[0003] However, existing crayfish sorting equipment has some shortcomings in the receiving stage. Traditional receiving boxes are usually large in size and take up a lot of space. Especially in large-scale processing scenarios, the placement of multiple receiving boxes will significantly increase the equipment's footprint and affect the layout and efficiency of the production line.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a sorting mechanism for crayfish processing. Utility Model Content

Each receiving unit includes a movable frame, a receiving box, a handle, a support rod, a chute, a sliding rod, a fixed rod, and a hydraulic rod. The support is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the support rods in the multiple sets of receiving units.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0025] This embodiment is a sorting mechanism for crayfish processing.
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a flat belt conveyor 1, an image acquisition and recognition device 2 installed at the upper end of the flat belt conveyor 1, a stacked receiving structure 3 set at one end of the flat belt conveyor 1, a support 4 and receiving units 5 of the stacked receiving structure 3, and multiple sets of receiving units 5. Each receiving unit 5 includes a moving frame 6, a receiving box 7, a handle 8, a support rod 9, a chute 10, a sliding rod 11, a fixed rod 12 and a hydraulic rod 13. The support 4 is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the support rods 9 in the multiple sets of receiving units 5.
[0027] In a set of receiving units 5, there are two sets of support rods 9, sliding grooves 10, and sliding rods 11. A fixed rod 12 is fixedly installed at one end between the two sets of support rods 9, and a hydraulic rod 13 is fixedly installed at the middle of the outer surface of one side of the fixed rod 12. The sliding groove 10 is opened on the inner wall of the support rod 9. The two sets of sliding rods 11 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of both sides of the movable frame 6, and the outer wall of the sliding rod 11 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 10. The outer surface of one end of the piston rod in the hydraulic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer surface of one end of the movable frame 6. The receiving box 7 is placed inside the movable frame 6, and the handle 8 is fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the upper outer surface of the receiving box 7.
[0028] It should be noted that this utility model is a sorting mechanism for crayfish processing. The flat belt conveyor 1 and image acquisition and recognition device 2 described in this document are both existing technologies. Crayfish are manually fed at the end of the flat belt conveyor 1 away from the stacked receiving structure 3. Images are acquired by the image acquisition and recognition device 2, and the size, color, shape, and other characteristics of the crayfish are analyzed by algorithms. The crayfish are then classified according to preset standards (such as weight, color, and integrity). This process is readily understood by those skilled in the art, and further details are omitted. Based on the classification results, the crayfish are sorted into different receiving units 5. If a crayfish needs to enter the uppermost receiving unit 5, its status is as shown in the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1As shown, the crayfish falls directly into the receiving box 7 of the uppermost receiving unit 5. If the crayfish needs to enter the second receiving unit 5, the operation of the hydraulic rod 13 in the uppermost receiving unit 5 drives the receiving box 7 to move, so that the receiving box 7 and the moving frame 6 move to one side. The moving frame 6 slides along the slide groove 10 through the slide rod 11 to improve the stability of the movement. After the moving frame 6 and the receiving box 7 in the uppermost receiving unit 5 are removed, the crayfish falls into the receiving box 7 of the second layer receiving unit 5. If it needs to enter a lower receiving unit, the upper receiving unit will simultaneously drive the moving frame 6 and the receiving box 7 to one side to ensure that the crayfish falls accurately into the target receiving box 7. The receiving box 7 is placed in the moving frame 6 for easy removal. By stacking the receiving units 5, the vertical space is fully utilized, the horizontal space is reduced, and the compactness and space utilization of the production line are improved.
