Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of silkworm cocoon processing equipment, specifically to an intelligent cocoon sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] The silkworm breeding industry occupies a fundamental position in the silk industry, accounting for over 85% of the world's original seed production capacity and annual output, and approximately 90% of the world's first-generation hybrid seed production. The development of the silkworm breeding industry has a significant impact on all aspects of silkworm production, cocoon and silk processing, silk weaving and quilt making, garment manufacturing, marketing, and foreign trade exports, holding a very important position in the silk industry. For example, application number 202310894179.9, entitled "An Intelligent Sorting Device for Silkworm Cocoon Processing," uses a drive mechanism to discharge silkworm cocoons from a box and achieves intelligent and automated inspection and sorting of the cocoons, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of silk products. However, the circumferential rotation position can only identify / detect one side or one angle, resulting in relatively low time accuracy.

[0003] This case arose in order to resolve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent cocoon sorting device, comprising a ring-shaped fixed support, a turntable driven by a motor is pivotally connected to the fixed support, a plurality of receiving slots are spaced apart on the periphery of the turntable, an image recognition mechanism is provided on the outer side of the turntable, a rotating block is pivotally connected to the fixed support, wherein the rotating block radially corresponds to the outer image recognition mechanism and falls into the receiving slot in which it has been rotated, a large gear is provided below the turntable, a rotating shaft is connected to the middle of the rotating block, a small gear meshing with the large gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, the large gear and the turntable are connected by independent rotating rods, and an electromagnet and an iron block are respectively provided on the end face of the two independent rotating rods, so that the turntable rotates when energized, and only the rotating block rotates when not energized.

[0006] Preferably, the electromagnet is installed at the bottom of the rotating rod at the turntable, and the rotating rod is hollow inside, wherein the turntable has a built-in power supply that is electrically connected to the electromagnet to supply power to it.

[0007] Preferably, the displacement of the disk by one unit each time it rotates is the distance between two adjacent receiving slots on the turntable, and the electromagnet needs to be de-energized after rotating by one unit displacement to stop the rotation.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating block has a settling groove.

[0010] Preferably, the receiving groove is open at the top and bottom with the outer edge of the turntable as the opening, and a feeding mechanism is provided on the outer side of the turntable, with any receiving groove that rotates to the corresponding position serving as the cocoon inlet.

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1-2 As shown: A smart cocoon sorting device includes a turntable 1 driven by a motor to rotate. Multiple receiving slots 2 are spaced apart on the outer periphery of the turntable 1. Each receiving slot 2 is open from top to bottom with the outer edge of the turntable 1 as the opening. A ring-shaped fixed support 13 is connected to the bottom of the turntable 1. The fixed support 13 is independent of the turntable 1, so that the cocoons falling into the receiving slots 2 can be supported by the fixed support 13. At the same time, the cocoons are rotated and repositioned during the rotation of the turntable 1.

[0017] To prevent the cocoons entering the receiving trough 2 from being thrown out of their open portion during rotation, a retaining ring 3 is provided on the fixed support 13, and the retaining ring 3 surrounds the outer ring of the turntable 1.

[0018] A feeding mechanism 6 is provided on the outside of the turntable 1 (the feeding mechanism 6 can be a conventional one such as a belt conveyor). One of the receiving slots 2 serves as the cocoon inlet. That is, the receiving slot 2 rotated to the feeding mechanism 6 serves as the inlet. The feeding mechanism 6 works with the turntable 1 to achieve automated transfer.

[0019] Two adjacent image recognition mechanisms 5 are located on the outer side of the turntable 1, which is positioned relative to the feeding mechanism 6. The distance between the two image recognition mechanisms 5 corresponds to the interval between two adjacent receiving slots 2. A rotating block is provided on the fixed support 13 relative to the image recognizer. A sinking groove 4 is provided on the rotating block (the sinking groove 4 can restrain the end of the cocoon, allowing it to rotate with the rotating block, and it can still rotate with the turntable 1 under the lateral rotational thrust). The bottom of the rotating block is connected to a rotating shaft, on which a small gear 12 is fixedly sleeved. A large gear 11 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the turntable 1. The large gear 11 and the small gear 12 mesh with each other. During the rotation of the large gear 11, it can drive the small gear 12 to rotate, so that the cocoon placed on the rotating block can rotate, allowing the image recognizer to accurately identify and judge from all directions.

[0020] The image recognition device is a standard component. It can be a camera installed on the device to take pictures of the silkworm cocoons from multiple angles to obtain their appearance information such as shape and color. Then, the image recognition algorithm is used to analyze and process this information to determine the category and grade of the silkworm cocoons, and control the corresponding baffle 9 to sort the different categories of silkworm cocoons into the discharge hopper 7 or the sluice hole 8 for classified collection.

[0021] A discharge hopper 7 is connected to one side of the image recognition mechanism 5 and radially outward of the fixed support 13. A baffle 9 is provided at the inlet of the discharge hopper 7. The bottom of the baffle 9 is raised and lowered by a cylinder 10. When a defective silkworm cocoon is encountered, the baffle 9 is raised and the discharge hopper 7 is lowered to block it from entering. Secondly, a leakage hole 8 is provided at adjacent positions at equal intervals with the two adjacent receiving slots 2. When a defective silkworm cocoon rotates to this position, it will leak out through the leakage hole 8.

[0022] The design concept of the aforementioned device is that the rotation of the turntable 1 causes the incoming silkworm cocoons to shift circumferentially, and after being judged by the image recognition mechanism 5, it is sorted again by rotation. The improvement of this solution is that, in order to detect the silkworm cocoons from all directions, the sink trough 4 located at the image recognition mechanism 5 is driven to rotate.

[0023] Therefore, a further design involves independently arranging the drive rod 14 at the turntable 1 and the drive rod 14 at the large gear 11, as shown in the appendix. Figure 3As shown, electromagnets and iron blocks are respectively installed on the end faces of two independent rotating rods 14. When energized, both the turntable 1 and the settling trough 4 rotate together; when de-energized, only the settling trough 4 rotates. Therefore, each rotation of one unit displacement is the distance between two adjacent receiving slots 2 on the turntable 1. After rotating one unit displacement, rotation must stop to allow the newly settled cocoons in the settling trough 4 to rotate. (Appendix) Figure 3 The image shows two receiving slots 2 and a corresponding number of image recognition mechanisms 5, so each rotation requires two units as reference.

[0024] The electromagnet can be installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 14 on the turntable 1, and its interior is hollow. The turntable 1 has a built-in power supply for electrical connection with the electromagnet.

[0025] Considering the support of turntable 1, turntable 1 can be pivotally connected to fixed support 13, so that it can be supported when it does not rotate with rotating rod 14, and fixed support 13 can be fixedly supported at the bottom.

[0026] The above-described embodiments are provided for illustrative purposes. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification; its protection scope must be determined according to the claims.
