[0029] The silkworm, scientifically known as *Bombyx mori*, belongs to the family Bombyx mori in the order Lepidoptera. It primarily feeds on mulberry leaves and spins cocoons, the silk of which is used to make silk fabrics, thus holding a significant economic and cultural position.

[0030] A cocoon-picking machine is an agricultural machine used to quickly and efficiently remove silkworm cocoons from the upper cocooning frame. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, its design and functions have been continuously optimized, significantly improving the work efficiency of silkworm farmers, reducing labor intensity, and minimizing damage to silkworm cocoons. However, current cocoon-picking machines remove all cocoons at once, requiring manual sorting of the cocoons after loading and unloading, a cumbersome process that is not very efficient.

[0031] Therefore, this utility model proposes a cocoon selection and harvesting integrated machine 1000, as detailed in the attached drawings of the instruction manual. Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention, a cocoon selection and harvesting integrated machine 1000, includes a transport device 100, an identification device 200, a rejection device, a feeding device, and a frame dropping device 300. The transport device 100 is used to transport the upper cocoon frame 2000. It is understood that the upper cocoon frame 2000 contains multiple cocoons, including upper cocoons and lower cocoons. Furthermore, the upper cocoon frame 2000 has multiple squares, with the cocoons sequentially distributed within these squares. It should be noted that upper cocoons refer to cocoons suitable for reeling high-quality raw silk, indicating higher quality; lower cocoons refer to cocoons that cannot be used for reeling high-quality raw silk due to serious defects or other reasons.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it should be noted that the transport device 100 includes a drive roller 110 and a conveying structure. The upper frame 2000 is placed on the conveying structure. Furthermore, the drive roller 110 drives the conveying structure to transport the upper frame 2000. It can be understood that with the above arrangement, the upper frame 2000 can be transported efficiently.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 120 includes a first hollow chain 121 and a second hollow chain 122. Additionally, a first gear 111 and a second gear 112 are respectively provided at both ends of the drive roller 110. It should be noted that the first gear 111 meshes with the first hollow chain 121, and the second gear 112 meshes with the second hollow chain 122. It is understood that the upper frame 2000 is placed on the first hollow chain 121 and the second hollow chain 122. When the drive roller 110 rotates, the first gear 111 and the second gear 112 rotate synchronously. At this time, the first gear 111 drives the meshed first hollow chain 121 to move, and the second gear 112 drives the meshed second hollow chain 122 to move, thereby moving the upper frame 2000 to achieve transportation.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, four drive rollers 110 are provided, which are parallel to each other and arranged in a square pattern. It can be understood that the above arrangement can improve the transport stability of the transport device 100 and ensure that the upper frame 2000 can be transported smoothly.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a cocoon selection and harvesting integrated machine 1000 includes a conveying device 100 sequentially comprising a frame-adding area, a rejection area, a feeding area, and a frame-dropping area along its conveying direction. During operation, the upper cocoon frame 2000 is placed on the conveying device 100 in the frame-adding area. An identification device 200 is installed on the conveying device 100 and located in the rejection area. The identification device 200 is used to identify the upper and lower cocoons in the upper cocoon frame 2000. The rejection device is also installed on the conveying device 100 and located in the rejection area. The rejection device is used to press the lower cocoons out of the upper cocoon frame 2000.

[0037] Understandably, the above setup allows for the identification of unprocessed cocoons in the upper cocoon frame 2000 within the rejection area. The rejection device then presses these cocoons out, leaving only the unprocessed cocoons in the upper cocoon frame 2000's squares, effectively achieving classification and facilitating subsequent processes. It should be noted that a first collection device is also provided in the rejection area. When the unprocessed cocoons are rejected from the upper cocoon frame 2000, they fall into this first collection device. Understandably, while the unprocessed cocoons are not used to produce raw silk, they can be processed into other products, such as silk floss and silk quilts. These products have lower quality requirements and higher tolerance for raw material defects. Therefore, collecting the unprocessed cocoons in the first collection device facilitates their subsequent sale or processing.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the identification device 200 includes a camera component and an identification system. The camera component is mounted on the transport device 100 and takes pictures of the upper cocoon frame 2000 transported to the rejection area. Simultaneously, the camera component can transmit the pictures to the identification system to identify the upper and lower cocoons within the upper cocoon frame 2000. It is understood that the squares in the upper cocoon frame 2000 are arranged in a matrix. In one embodiment, the identification device 200 only takes pictures of 2 to 3 rows of squares at a time to ensure identification accuracy. It should be noted that the identification device 200 can also take pictures of 3 to 4 rows of squares at a time, depending on the actual situation; this is not specifically limited here.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the camera component includes a first high-definition camera 210 and a second high-definition camera 220. The first high-definition camera 210 is located above the upper cocoon frame 2000 transported to the rejection area, and the second high-definition camera 220 is located below the upper cocoon frame 2000. It is understood that, with the above arrangement, the upper part of the cocoons in the upper cocoon frame 2000 can be photographed by the first high-definition camera 210 and sent to the identification system for recognition, while the lower part can be photographed by the second high-definition camera 220 and sent to the identification system for recognition. By combining these two recognition results, the identification system can more clearly distinguish whether the cocoons belong to the upper or lower cocoons. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the transport device 100 is provided with a camera frame 130, on which both the first high-definition camera 210 and the second high-definition camera 220 are mounted.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the first high-definition camera 210 has an angle α with the vertical axis, where 0° ≤ α ≤ 20°. It is understood that this arrangement allows the first high-definition camera 210 to better photograph the silkworm cocoons in the upper frame 2000. In one embodiment, the angle α = 5°; in another embodiment, the angle α = 10°; and in yet another embodiment, the angle α = 15°.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the second high-definition camera 220 has an angle b with the vertical axis, where 0° ≤ b ≤ 20°. It is understood that this arrangement allows the second high-definition camera 220 to better photograph the silkworm cocoons in the upper frame 2000. In one embodiment, the angle b = 5°; in another embodiment, the angle b = 10°; and in yet another embodiment, the angle b = 15°.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a cocoon selection and harvesting integrated machine 1000 has a feeding device installed on a transport device 100, and the feeding device is located in the feeding area. It should be noted that the feeding device is used to press the cocoons from the upper cocoon frame 2000. It is understood that after the upper cocoon frame 2000 passes through the rejection area during transport, all the cocoons in the squares are identified and pressed out. Therefore, when the upper cocoon frame 2000 enters the feeding area, only the cocoons from the upper cocoon remain in the squares, and the feeding device presses all the cocoons from the upper cocoon out of the squares. It should also be noted that a second collecting device is provided in the feeding area. After the cocoons from the upper cocoon are pressed out, they are collected in the second collecting device for subsequent overall silk reeling.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a cocoon selection and harvesting integrated machine 1000 has a frame-dropping device 300 installed on a transport device 100, and the frame-dropping device 300 is located in the frame-dropping area. It should be noted that the frame-dropping device 300 is used to detach the upper cocoon frame 2000 from the transport device 100. It is understood that by providing the frame-dropping device 300, the upper cocoon frame 2000 can be removed for convenient reuse.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the frame dropping device 300 includes a frame dropping roller 310 located in the frame dropping area. The frame dropping roller 310 has a third gear 311 and a fourth gear 312 at its two ends, respectively. It should be noted that the third gear 311 meshes with a first hollow chain 121, and the fourth gear 312 meshes with a second hollow chain 122. Furthermore, both the third gear 311 and the fourth gear 312 have protruding teeth for pushing the upper frame 2000 out. It should be noted that the tooth height of the protruding tooth of the third gear 311 is higher than the tooth height of the other teeth of the third gear 311, and the tooth height of the protruding tooth of the fourth gear 312 is higher than the tooth height of the other teeth of the fourth gear 312.

[0045] Understandably, since the third gear 311 meshes with the first hollow chain 121 and the fourth gear 312 meshes with the second hollow chain 122, as the first hollow chain 121 and the second hollow chain 122 move, the third gear 311 and the fourth gear 312 will also rotate. At this time, the convex teeth of the third gear 311 will periodically pass through the hollow gaps of the first hollow chain 121, and the convex teeth of the fourth gear 312 will periodically pass through the hollow gaps of the second hollow chain 122. With the above arrangement, when the upper frame 2000 reaches the dropping area, the convex teeth of the third gear 311 and the fourth gear 312 will push the upper frame 2000 out, thereby separating the upper frame 2000 from the transport device 100.

[0046] Understandably, the upper cocoon frame 2000 is placed in the framing area, and the transport device 100 begins transporting the upper cocoon frame 2000, causing it to sequentially pass through the framing area, the rejection area, the unloading area, and the dropping area. When the upper cocoon frame 2000 passes through the rejection area, the identification device 200 identifies the cocoons from the previous and next loads within the upper cocoon frame 2000. The rejection device then removes the next load cocoons from the upper cocoon frame 2000. The upper cocoon frame 2000 continues to be transported to the unloading area, where the unloading device detaches the previous load cocoons from the upper cocoon frame 2000, completing the unloading process. Finally, the upper cocoon frame 2000 is transported to the dropping area, where the dropping device 300 detaches it from the transport device 100. Through this process, cocoon selection and harvesting are integrated, completing the classification and harvesting of cocoons and improving efficiency.

[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, and not to limit it. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
