Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sorting technology, specifically relating to a pork sorting device with a gripping mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Pork, also known as pig meat, is the meat of the domestic pig (Sus sulphurus). It is characterized by its fine bones, few tendons, and high meat content, making it the most consumed meat. Pork is divided into edible and inedible pork. Inedible pork mainly comes from diseased animals and their byproducts, slaughterhouse waste, etc. Due to its high water content and rich organic matter content, it is extremely prone to spoilage, posing a threat to the environment and public health. Currently, the main methods for disposing of inedible pork include incineration, landfill, harmless treatment, and resource utilization. Among these, resource utilization is the most economically valuable and environmentally friendly method. However... In traditional resource utilization methods, after non-frozen, inedible pork is transported to processing plants, it needs to undergo manual sorting, crushing, heating, and boiling. In particular, the manual sorting process is characterized by high labor costs due to harsh working conditions and high labor intensity. Furthermore, the sorting efficiency is limited by the skill level of the operators, resulting in instability. In addition, impurities such as plastic bags used to package the pork often mix into the pork, causing equipment blockage and oil contamination during subsequent processing, thus affecting the quality of the final product. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pork sorting device with a gripping mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems mentioned above in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pork sorting device with a gripping mechanism.

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] Example 1, such as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, a pork sorting device with a gripping mechanism is provided. An intelligent oscillating cutting device 2 is installed on the conveyor line 1. The intelligent oscillating cutting device 2 has an inlet 3 and an outlet 4 on both sides of its bottom. An assembly frame 5 is installed on the upper side of the outlet 4 of the intelligent oscillating cutting device 2. A visual recognition camera 6 is installed on the assembly frame 5. Two sets of support frames 7 are installed on the top of the other side of the conveyor line 1. An electric slide rail 8 is installed on the top of one support frame 7. The power output end of the electric slide rail 8 is connected to a crossbeam plate 9. An I-shaped locking block 10 is installed on the bottom of the other side of the crossbeam plate 9. A slider 11 is installed on the bottom of the I-shaped locking block 10. The slider 11 is slidably connected to a guide rail 12. The guide rail 12 is installed on the top of the other support frame 7. A lifting assembly 13 is installed on the bottom of the crossbeam plate 9. The power output end of the lifting assembly 13 is connected to a sorting gripping assembly 14. The visual recognition camera 6 is connected to the electric slide rail 8 and the sorting gripping assembly 14. A waste output trough 15 is also installed on one side of the two sets of support frames 7.
[0020] In this embodiment, during use, inedible pork is placed on conveyor line 1 and then transported through conveyor line 1. It enters the intelligent vibrating cutting device 2 through inlet 3 and is cut by the intelligent vibrating cutting device 2. The cut pork is then output from outlet 4. When the pork is output from outlet 4, the visual recognition camera 6 performs visual detection on the pork, collects image information of the pork, analyzes and processes it, identifies features, and transmits the information to the electric slide rail 8 and the sorting and gripping component 14. According to the preset sorting rules, the electric slide rail 8 drives the lifting component 13, which in turn drives the sorting and gripping component 14 to move, so that the sorting and gripping component 14 sorts and grips impurities such as plastic bags on the pork. Finally, driven by the electric slide rail 8, the sorting and gripping component 14 moves to the waste output trough 15, puts down the plastic bags and other impurities, and lets them slide out along the waste output trough 15, waiting for subsequent centralized collection and processing.
[0021] Example 2, as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 1: the lifting assembly 13 includes a top plate 16, connecting columns 17 are installed on the four sides of the bottom of the top plate 16, a bottom plate 18 is installed at the bottom of the four connecting columns 17, an electric push rod 19 is installed on the surface of the bottom plate 18, the power output end of the electric push rod 19 is connected to the sorting and gripping assembly 14, and wear-resistant guide sleeves 20 are installed on both sides of the bottom plate 18 with the electric push rod 19. The wear-resistant guide sleeves 20 are slidably connected to guide rods 21, and the bottom of the guide rods 21 is installed on the sorting and gripping assembly 14.
[0022] In this embodiment, during use, the electric push rod 19 is activated to push the sorting and gripping component 14 to move up and down. As the sorting and gripping component 14 moves up and down, it will simultaneously drive the guide rod 21, causing the guide rod 21 to slide along the wear-resistant guide sleeve 20. This ensures that the sorting and gripping component 14 can maintain vertical movement during its up and down movement, so as to facilitate the gripping and sorting of impurities such as plastic bags.
[0023] Example 3, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 1: the sorting and gripping assembly 14 includes a mounting plate 22 connected to the power output end of the electric push rod 19 and the bottom of the guide rod 21. A bearing seat 23 is mounted at the bottom center of the mounting plate 22. The bearing seat 23 is connected to a rotating shaft 24. The rotating shaft 24 is connected to a movable block 25. Adjustment grooves 26 are provided on both sides of the movable block 25. A movable column 27 is slidably installed in the adjustment groove 26. An adjustment plate 28 is connected to the movable column 27. Linear sliders 29 are mounted on both sides of the top of the adjustment plate 28. A linear slider 29 is slidably connected to a linear guide rail 30, which is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 22. A clamping plate 31 is installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 28, and a slide rod 32 is slidably connected to the bottom of the clamping plate 31. A limit block 33 is installed on the outer side of the slide rod 32, and a clamping plate 34 is installed on the inner side of the slide rod 32. A spring 35 is connected to the clamping plate 34, and the other side of the spring 35 is installed on the clamping plate 31. A cylinder 36 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 22, and a connector 37 is connected to the power output end of the cylinder 36. The connector 37 is installed inside the adjusting plate 28.
[0024] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to pick up and sort impurities such as plastic bags, the control cylinder 36 is activated, causing the cylinder 36 to push the connecting member 37. The connecting member 37 pushes the adjusting plate 28 on one side to move, thereby causing the adjusting plate 28 to push the movable column 27 to move in the adjusting groove 26 within the movable block 25. This allows the movable column 27 to push the movable block 25 to rotate along the rotating shaft 24. The rotating movable block 25 then drives the movable column 27 in the adjusting groove 26 on the other side to move, causing the movable column 27 on the other side to drive the adjusting plate 28 to move. The plate 28 moves, thereby enabling the adjusting plates 28 on both sides to synchronously drive the linear slider 29 to move along the linear guide rail 30, which in turn drives the clamping plates 31 on both sides to move. The clamping plates 31 then drive the sliding rod 32, which in turn drives the clamping plate 34, spring 35 and limiting block 33 to move towards the center. After the clamping plates 31 on both sides clamp the plastic bag and other impurities, the spring 35 will be compressed and generate a rebound force on the clamping plate 31 to ensure the clamping and fixing effect of the clamping plate 31 and prevent the clamped items from falling and affecting the sorting work.
[0025] Example 4, as Figure 4As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 1: a protective box 38 is installed on the top of the crossbeam plate 9, a motor 39 is installed inside the protective box 38, a main gear 40 is connected to the power output end of the motor 39, a secondary gear 41 is meshed with the main gear 40, a rotating rod 42 is connected to the secondary gear 41, a bearing 43 is installed on the top of the rotating rod 42, the bearing 43 is installed on the top inner side of the protective box 38, and the bottom of the rotating rod 42 passes through the protective box 38 and the crossbeam plate 9 in sequence, and is installed on the top of the lifting assembly 13.
[0026] In this embodiment, during the sorting process, the motor 39 can be started to drive the main gear 40 to rotate. The main gear 40 drives the meshing secondary gear 41 to rotate. The rotating secondary gear 41 drives the rotating rod 42 to rotate along the bearing 43, so that the rotating rod 42 can drive the lifting assembly 13 to rotate. In turn, the lifting assembly 13 drives the sorting gripping assembly 14 to change the gripping angle, thereby improving the sorting effect.
[0027] Example 5, as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to embodiment 1: a cleaning box 44 is installed at the bottom of the conveyor line 1, several cleaning rollers 45 are installed inside the cleaning box 44, and a wiping sponge 46 is installed on one side of the top of the cleaning box 44. This structural design allows for the cleaning of the conveyor line 1 after use.
[0028] In this embodiment, during the conveying process, the bottom of the conveyor line 1 moves on the cleaning roller 45, so that the cleaning roller 45 can clean the surface of the conveyor line 1. After cleaning, the wiping sponge 46 wipes the conveyor line 1 to improve the cleanliness of the surface of the conveyor line 1.

Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
