Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shellfish aquaculture and phenotypic analysis equipment. More specifically, this utility model relates to a high-throughput, high-precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic analysis. Background Technology

[0002] In shellfish selective breeding, accurate and efficient measurement of phenotypic data such as growth traits is a crucial initial step. Large-scale, high-precision phenotyping is fundamental to accurately identifying candidate parents. Currently, phenotyping methods in this field generally rely on manual operation, which has a series of limitations.

[0003] In terms of body size measurement, manual tools such as vernier calipers are mainly relied upon. Operators need to measure and record multiple dimensional indicators such as shell height, shell length, and shell width for each individual mollusk. This method is labor-intensive and inefficient, making it difficult to meet the high-throughput measurement needs of large-scale breeding populations. Due to the irregular shape of mollusk shells, the manual positioning of measurement reference points is easily affected by subjective judgment, leading to deviations between different operators, and even multiple measurements by the same operator, affecting the consistency and repeatability of the data. Achieving non-contact automated body size measurement is a potential direction for improving efficiency and accuracy, but how to quickly and completely acquire the complete morphological data of the irregular three-dimensional shells of mollusks, and accurately and automatically extract multiple body size parameters from them, presents technical difficulties in implementation.

[0004] In the weighing process, electronic balances are typically used for individual static weighing. This process still requires manual handling, placement, reading, and recording of each item, representing another efficiency bottleneck in the overall measurement workflow. Furthermore, as living organisms, shellfish may experience slight interference with the instantaneous reading stability of static weighing due to activity or bodily fluid secretion during measurement. While dynamic weighing technology promises to significantly improve efficiency by simultaneously completing weighing during transport, effectively isolating mechanical vibrations and external interference under continuous conveyor belt operation, ensuring that the weighing sensor can stably and accurately capture effective weight signals, and achieving precise triggering linkage between the sensor and the individual's passage remain challenges in practical applications.

[0005] Existing methods also have weaknesses in the management of the association between phenotypic data and individual identification. The large amounts of body size and weight data obtained through measurement typically require manual recording and manual association with individual shellfish using pre-labeled numbers. This process is cumbersome and prone to recording errors or number confusion when processing large numbers of samples, leading to the loss of valuable phenotypic data and their correspondence with individuals, severely impacting the reliability and long-term tracking value of the data. Currently, there is a lack of an effective mechanism that can automatically and non-destructively identify individual identification during the measurement process and accurately and in real-time bind the measurement data to it, which limits the integrity of breeding data and the depth of subsequent analysis.

[0006] After phenotypic testing, the sorting of candidate parents based on the results currently relies primarily on manual judgment and sorting. Operators must select individuals of different sizes into separate containers according to recorded measurements and grading standards. This method is not only slow, extending the overall processing time, but also prone to visual fatigue and misjudgment when processing large numbers of individuals due to repetitive manual operation, leading to decreased sorting accuracy and consequently affecting the precision and efficiency of subsequent breeding work. Achieving rapid and accurate automated sorting requires addressing how to reliably and instantly trigger the actuators based on real-time measured data, while ensuring that the sorting action causes no damage to the live shellfish and yields accurate results.

[0007] In summary, existing technologies have shortcomings in terms of efficiency, accuracy, data correlation reliability, and automation of shellfish phenotyping. These shortcomings collectively constitute a significant bottleneck in the practice of large-scale precision breeding of shellfish. Utility Model Content

[0008] One object of this invention is to solve at least the problems described above and to provide at least the advantages that will be explained later.

[0009] Another objective of this invention is to provide a high-throughput, high-precision phenotypic measurement device for shellfish, which solves the technical problems in the prior art where phenotypic data and individual information need to be manually recorded and correlated, which is prone to errors and lacks automated sorting functions, thus failing to meet the needs of large-scale breeding for high-throughput, high-precision phenotypic measurement.

[0010] To achieve these objectives and other advantages according to the present invention, a high-throughput, high-precision measurement device for shellfish phenotyping is provided, comprising: Base stand; The body size measurement module includes a first conveyor mounted on a base support and a three-dimensional laser scanner mounted directly above the first conveyor via a fixing mechanism A. The side of the first conveyor is provided with a photoelectric sensor A and an encoder A for triggering scanning. The photoelectric sensor A and the encoder A are connected to the three-dimensional laser scanner via signals. The dynamic weighing module includes a second conveyor whose input end is connected to the output end of the first conveyor and a pressure sensor installed directly below the second conveyor via a weighing mounting mechanism. A photoelectric sensor B for triggering weighing is provided on the side of the second conveyor, and the photoelectric sensor B is connected to the pressure sensor signal. The sample information acquisition module includes a third conveyor whose input end is connected to the output end of the second conveyor and a barcode scanner installed directly above the third conveyor via a fixing mechanism B. A photoelectric sensor C and an encoder C are provided on the side of the third conveyor, and the photoelectric sensor C and the encoder C are connected to the barcode scanner for signal transmission. The automatic sorting module includes multiple pneumatic push rods arranged in parallel and a discharge slide corresponding to each pneumatic push rod. The pneumatic push rods are driven by corresponding air pumps.

[0011] Preferably, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics further includes a control module; the three-dimensional laser scanner, pressure sensor, barcode scanner, and air pump are all communicatively connected to the control module.

[0012] Preferably, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes a fixing mechanism A comprising a longitudinal support A clamped on a base support, a transverse support A slidably disposed on the longitudinal support A in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor, and a position adjuster A for driving the transverse support A to slide and disposed on the longitudinal support A; the transverse support A is located directly above the first conveyor, and a three-dimensional laser scanner is disposed on the transverse support A.

[0013] Preferably, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes a weighing installation mechanism comprising a lower support frame and an upper support frame mounted on a base bracket, a pressure sensor mounted between the upper support frame and the lower support frame, and a protective plate surrounding the pressure sensor.

[0014] Preferably, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes an automatic sorting module comprising three pneumatic push rods, each connected to a corresponding air pump.

[0015] Preferably, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes a fixing mechanism B comprising a longitudinal support B clamped on a base support, a transverse support B slidably disposed on the longitudinal support B in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the third conveyor, and a position adjuster B for driving the transverse support B to slide and disposed on the longitudinal support B. The transverse support B is located above the third conveyor, and the barcode scanner is disposed on the transverse support B and inclined toward the conveying surface of the third conveyor.

[0016] Preferably, in the aforementioned high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics, the barcode scanner is tilted 15° downwards and to the left to align with the conveyor belt of the third conveyor.

[0017] Preferably, in the aforementioned high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics, shock-absorbing mechanisms are installed between the bottom of the first, second, and third conveyors and the base support.

[0018] Preferably, the shock absorption mechanism of the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypes includes rubber pads, springs, and buffers.

[0019] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model integrates body size measurement, dynamic weighing, sample information acquisition, and automatic sorting modules into a single unit, and utilizes a conveyor belt to achieve assembly line operation, significantly improving the automation level and processing throughput of shellfish phenotyping. A three-dimensional laser scanner combined with a triggering mechanism enables non-contact, precise body size measurement, effectively avoiding human measurement errors. The dynamic weighing module acquires weight during the transport process, improving efficiency. The sample information acquisition module automatically correlates phenotypic data with individual information, reducing human error in recording. The automatic sorting module quickly completes sorting based on the measurement results, greatly reducing labor intensity. Overall, this provides a reliable hardware foundation for achieving high-throughput, high-precision breeding of shellfish.

[0020] 2. This utility model, by introducing a control module and communicating with each functional component, achieves centralized control and collaborative management of the entire measurement process. This ensures the orderly and efficient connection of steps such as body size measurement, dynamic weighing, information collection, and automatic sorting, avoiding problems such as mismatched actions or data loss that may occur due to independent operation of each module. The control module can receive, process, and store data from each module in real time, achieving automatic data integration and unified management, improving the intelligence level and operational stability of the device, and providing convenience for subsequent data analysis and traceability.

[0021] 3. This invention, through an adjustable fixing mechanism A, allows the height and lateral position of the 3D laser scanner to be flexibly and precisely adjusted according to the size of the shellfish being measured or specific measurement requirements. This adjustability ensures that the scanner is always in the optimal working position, enabling the acquisition of complete and clear 3D point cloud data of the shellfish. This effectively improves the extraction accuracy and measurement reliability of body size parameters (such as shell height, shell length, and shell width), while also enhancing the device's adaptability to shellfish samples of different sizes.

[0022] 4. This utility model provides reliable support for the pressure sensor through a stable mounting structure consisting of a lower support frame and an upper support frame, effectively isolating most of the structural stress and vibration from the second conveyor. The protective plate further protects the sensor from accidental external impacts or environmental interference. This structure significantly improves the signal stability of the pressure sensor during dynamic weighing and reduces noise interference, thereby ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of shellfish weight measurement data.

[0023] 5. This invention provides three independent sorting channels for the automatic sorting module by setting three pneumatic push rods and corresponding air pumps. This enables the device to execute more complex and refined sorting strategies, such as setting multiple grading thresholds based on body size and / or weight to classify shellfish into multiple grades (e.g., excellent, good, medium). This multi-level sorting capability greatly enhances the flexibility and practicality of the device in applications such as parent breeding and commercial grading, meeting more refined breeding or production needs.

[0024] 6. This utility model, through its adjustable fixing mechanism B, allows the operator to flexibly adjust the height and lateral position of the barcode scanner according to actual conditions. Combined with its tilted setting towards the conveyor surface, it can better adapt to shellfish of different sizes and their label placement positions, enabling the scanning light to more effectively cover potential label areas. This flexibility significantly improves the barcode capture rate and first-read success rate, reduces reading failures caused by positional deviations, and enhances the working efficiency of the sample information acquisition module.

[0025] 7. This invention specifically limits the scanning direction of the barcode scanner to a downward and leftward tilt of 15°. This angle helps reduce the specular reflection light generated by the curved surface of the seashell from directly entering the scanner lens. It also better adapts to common label pasting habits and positions, allowing the scanning lines to be projected onto the barcode at a more optimal angle. This specific angle setting effectively overcomes reflective interference, significantly improves the barcode recognition rate and reading speed, and ensures the accuracy and stability of sample information collection.

[0026] 8. This invention effectively isolates and absorbs vibrations generated by the conveyor motor operation, belt drive, and external environment by incorporating a shock-absorbing mechanism between the bottom of each conveyor and the base support. This significantly reduces mechanical vibrations transmitted to the shellfish samples, thereby minimizing sample swaying and displacement at key measurement sites (such as below the 3D laser scanner and above the pressure sensor). It provides a more stable platform for high-precision body size measurement and dynamic weighing, fundamentally improving the quality of core phenotypic data acquisition.

[0027] 9. This utility model employs a composite damping mechanism combining rubber pads, springs, and dampers. The rubber pads effectively absorb high-frequency vibrations, the springs handle larger displacements and low-frequency vibrations, while the dampers quickly dissipate vibration energy. This combined damping scheme effectively attenuates vibrations of different frequencies and amplitudes, providing superior overall damping performance compared to single damping methods. It further enhances the smoothness of the conveyor operation, creating an extremely stable environment for the entire measurement process, ensuring all measurement modules operate at their optimal state and obtain the highest accuracy phenotypic data.

[0028] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be partly apparent from the following description, and partly understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of this invention. Attached Figure Description

[0039] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a high-throughput, high-precision measurement device for mollusks' phenotypic characteristics, comprising: Base support 6; The body size measurement module includes a first conveyor 12 mounted on a base bracket 6 and a three-dimensional laser scanner 13 mounted directly above the first conveyor 12 via a fixing mechanism A11. The side of the first conveyor 12 is provided with a photoelectric sensor A14 and an encoder A15 for triggering scanning. The photoelectric sensor A14 and the encoder A15 are connected to the three-dimensional laser scanner 13 via signal. The dynamic weighing module includes a second conveyor 23 whose input end is connected to the output end of the first conveyor 12 and a pressure sensor 24 installed directly below the second conveyor 23 via a weighing mounting mechanism. A photoelectric sensor B26 for triggering weighing is provided on the side of the second conveyor 23. The photoelectric sensor B26 is connected to the pressure sensor 24. The sample information acquisition module includes a third conveyor 42 whose input end is connected to the output end of the second conveyor 23, and a barcode scanner 43 installed on the top of the third conveyor 42 via a fixing mechanism B41. A photoelectric sensor C44 and an encoder C45 are provided on the side of the third conveyor 42, and the photoelectric sensor C44 and the encoder C45 are connected to the barcode scanner 43 via signal. The automatic sorting module includes multiple pneumatic push rods arranged in parallel and a discharge slide 37 corresponding to each pneumatic push rod. The pneumatic push rods are driven by corresponding air pumps.

[0040] The base support refers to the device's supporting structure, typically made of metal materials (such as aluminum alloy or steel), used to fix and support other functional modules, ensuring overall stability. The body size measurement module includes a first conveyor and a 3D laser scanner, used to acquire 3D body size data (such as shell height, shell length, and shell width) of shellfish samples through non-contact scanning. The dynamic weighing module includes a second conveyor and a pressure sensor, used to measure shellfish weight in real time during sample transport, avoiding the efficiency bottleneck of static weighing. The sample information acquisition module includes a third conveyor and a barcode scanner, used to automatically identify the shellfish sample's identity information (such as number and origin) and associate it with phenotypic data. The automatic sorting module includes multiple pneumatic pushers and a discharge slide, used to sort shellfish to collection channels corresponding to different grades based on measurement results. A through-beam photoelectric sensor is a photoelectric sensor that detects the passage of objects by emitting and receiving infrared light, used to trigger corresponding operations. An encoder is used to measure the conveyor belt displacement or speed, ensuring accurate triggering timing.

[0041] The high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic analysis in this technical solution includes a base support (6), a body size measurement module (1), a dynamic weighing module (2), a sample information acquisition module (4), and an automatic sorting module (3). The body size measurement module (1) includes a first conveyor (12) and a three-dimensional laser scanner (13). The first conveyor (12) is fixed to the base support (6) by bolts and is driven by a motor to run a belt in a cycle to transport shellfish samples. The three-dimensional laser scanner (13) is installed directly above the first conveyor (12) by a fixing mechanism A (11), with its scanning head vertically downward and aligned with the center of the conveyor belt. A photoelectric beam A (14) and an encoder A (15) are installed on the side of the first conveyor (12). The photoelectric beam A (14) consists of a transmitter and a receiver. When a shellfish sample passes by, it blocks the light beam and generates a trigger signal. The encoder A (15) is connected to the main shaft of the conveyor belt and records displacement data in real time. Through-beam photoelectric sensor A (14) and encoder A (15) are connected to the signal input port of the 3D laser scanner (13) via cables, triggering the scanner to start scanning when the sample reaches the designated position. The dynamic weighing module (2) includes a second conveyor (23) and a pressure sensor (24). The input end of the second conveyor (23) is connected to the output end of the first conveyor (12) via a mechanical connecting plate to ensure a smooth sample transition. The pressure sensor (24) is fixed directly below the second conveyor (23) via a weighing mounting mechanism, and its sensing surface is in contact with the conveyor belt support plate. Through-beam photoelectric sensor B (26) is installed on the side of the second conveyor (23), and its trigger signal is transmitted to the control unit of the pressure sensor (24) through an analog conversion circuit. When the sample passes through through-beam photoelectric sensor B (26), the pressure sensor (24) enters the dynamic weighing mode and collects weight data. The sample information acquisition module (4) includes a third conveyor (42) and a barcode scanner (43). The input end of the third conveyor (42) is connected to the output end of the second conveyor (23) via a guide rail. The barcode scanner (43) is mounted directly above the third conveyor (42) via a fixing mechanism B (41), with its scanning head facing the surface of the conveyor belt. A photoelectric sensor C (44) and an encoder C (45) are installed on the side of the third conveyor (42). The photoelectric sensor C (44) detects the sample passing through, and the encoder C (45) synchronizes the position information. Both are connected to the barcode scanner (43) via a digital interface to ensure accurate scanning timing. The automatic sorting module (3) includes three pneumatic push rods (push rod A31, push rod B32, and push rod C33) arranged in parallel and a discharge slide (37) corresponding to each push rod. The pneumatic push rods are fixed to the base bracket (6) via a mounting seat, with the push rod arm facing the side of the conveyor belt. Each pneumatic push rod is driven by an independent air pump (air pump A34, air pump B35, air pump C36), which is connected to the push rod cylinder via an air pipe to provide compressed air. The discharge slide (37) is made of stainless steel and is installed at an angle to guide the sorted shellfish into the collection container.Shellfish samples are placed into the inlet of the first conveyor (12) and move with the conveyor belt. When the sample passes the through-beam photoelectric sensor A (14), the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) is triggered, emitting a laser beam to scan the sample surface and generate three-dimensional point cloud data. Encoder A (15) ensures that the scan is synchronized with the sample position. The sample then enters the second conveyor (23), where the through-beam photoelectric sensor B (26) triggers the pressure sensor (24) for dynamic weighing, and the sensor converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal output. The sample continues to enter the third conveyor (42), where the through-beam photoelectric sensor C (44) and encoder C (45) trigger the barcode scanner (43) to read the sample label barcode. Finally, the automatic sorting module (3) controls the pneumatic push rod to move according to the measurement data, pushing the sample into the corresponding discharge slide (37). The entire process achieves continuous operation through modular connection. This technical solution realizes a fully automated production line operation for shellfish phenotyping by integrating body size measurement, dynamic weighing, information acquisition and automatic sorting modules. Non-contact body size measurement reduces human error, dynamic weighing improves efficiency, automatic information association avoids data confusion, and the sorting module reduces labor intensity. The overall device has a compact structure, making it suitable for large-scale shellfish breeding scenarios and improving data accuracy and processing throughput.

[0042] In another technical solution, the high-throughput, precise measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics further includes a control module 5; the three-dimensional laser scanner 13, pressure sensor 24, barcode scanner 43, and air pump are all communicatively connected to the control module 5. The control module refers to the central processing unit, typically composed of a microprocessor, memory, and communication interface, used to coordinate the operation and data management of various functional modules. The communication connection refers to the data exchange and control signal transmission achieved through wired or wireless protocols (such as TCP / IP, RS485).

[0043] This technical solution adds a control module (5), which adopts an embedded industrial computer and is installed in the side protective box of the base bracket (6). Its core includes an ARM architecture processor, Flash memory, and multiple communication interfaces (such as Ethernet port and serial port). The 3D laser scanner (13) is connected to the Ethernet port of the control module (5) via a network cable using the TCP protocol to transmit point cloud data; the pressure sensor (24) is connected to the serial port of the control module (5) via an analog-to-digital converter to send weight signals; the barcode scanner (43) is connected to the control module (5) via a USB interface to upload barcode information; the air pumps (air pump A34, air pump B35, air pump C36) are connected to the I / O port of the control module (5) via a relay module to receive sorting instructions. The control module (5) runs customized software to monitor the status of each module in real time, process data, and store it on the local hard disk. The control module (5) acts as the central hub, receiving trigger signals and data from each module. After the 3D laser scanner (13) completes the scan, the point cloud data is sent to the control module (5) via TCP packets. The software performs point cloud registration and parameter extraction (such as shell height and shell length). The weight data of the pressure sensor (24) is converted by A / D and then calibrated and recorded by the control module (5). The barcode information read by the barcode scanner (43) is matched with the database in the control module (5) and associated with the tabular data. The control module (5) calculates the sorting level according to the preset sorting rules (such as shell height threshold) and drives the air pump through the I / O port output signal to control the pneumatic push rod action. The whole process realizes centralized data management and process synchronization. The introduction of the control module (5) realizes the integrated intelligent control of the device and avoids data loss or action conflicts caused by the independent operation of each module. Automatic data integration improves management efficiency, provides a complete dataset for subsequent analysis, and improves the stability and reliability of the device through real-time monitoring.

[0044] In another technical solution, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes a fixing mechanism A11 comprising a longitudinal support A111 clamped on a base bracket 6, a transverse support A113 slidably mounted on the longitudinal support A111 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 12, and a position adjuster A112 for driving the transverse support A113 to slide and mounted on the longitudinal support A111; the transverse support A113 is located directly above the first conveyor 12 (and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 12). Figure 3 (The relative positions of the fixing mechanism A11 and the first conveyor 12 are matched), and the three-dimensional laser scanner 13 is mounted on the transverse support A113. The fixing mechanism A refers to the mechanical structure used to install and adjust the position of the three-dimensional laser scanner. The core components include a longitudinal support, a transverse support, and a position adjuster. The position adjuster provides power for the movement of the transverse support, ensuring that the three-dimensional laser scanner can be accurately aligned with the shellfish sample on the first conveyor.

[0045] In this technical solution, the fixing mechanism A (11) includes a longitudinal support A (111), a transverse support A (113), and a position adjuster A (112) (see structural details). Figure 3 The three-dimensional laser scanner (13) is fixed to the mounting hole in the center of the transverse bracket A (113) by M5 hexagonal socket bolts (hole position accuracy H7 grade). A 2mm thick silicone rubber shock-absorbing pad is installed between the bolt and the bottom of the scanner to absorb the influence of the transverse bracket vibration on the scanner. Its scanning surface is vertically downward to ensure that the laser beam can vertically cover the central area of ​​the conveyor belt of the first conveyor 12 (and the center area of ​​the conveyor belt of the first conveyor 12). Figure 3 The installation orientation of the three-dimensional laser scanner 13 is consistent.

[0046] The longitudinal support A (111) consists of two aluminum rods of the same specification (material 6061-T6, cross-sectional size 40mm×40mm) and a connecting rod (aluminum rod of the same material, cross-sectional size 30mm×30mm). The two aluminum rods are vertically fixed to the horizontal bars on both sides of the base support (6) by U-shaped clamps (lined with a 3mm thick nitrile rubber anti-slip layer). The clamps are fastened by M8 bolts to prevent the aluminum rods from shifting during equipment operation. The connecting rod is set in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 12. Its two ends are slidably connected to the two aluminum rods by sliding sleeves. The inner side of the sliding sleeve is provided with a guide groove, which can restrict the connecting rod to move only in the vertical direction of the aluminum rod. The side of the sliding sleeve is provided with a locking bolt, which can fix the height of the connecting rod after tightening.

[0047] The transverse support A (113) is a horizontal aluminum rod (material 6061-T6, cross-sectional size 30mm×20mm) parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 12. A slider (material 45# steel, hardened) is welded to its top. The slider and the connecting rod cooperate through a guide rail (the guide rail is a T-slot opened on the side of the connecting rod, which is adapted to the slider), so that the transverse support A (113) can slide smoothly in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 12. The sliding stroke is 120mm, which meets the scanning position adjustment requirements of shellfish samples of different specifications.

[0048] The position adjuster A (112) is a hand crank screw mechanism, integrated in the middle of the connecting rod: the screw (material 40Cr, precision grade C7, lead 2mm) is installed on the connecting rod through the bearing seat, one end of which is fixedly connected to the hand crank (ABS engineering plastic material, with anti-slip texture on the surface), and the other end is threadedly connected to the slider at the top of the transverse support A (113), forming a screw-nut transmission pair; when the operator rotates the hand crank clockwise or counterclockwise, the screw drives the slider to slide along the guide rail, thereby driving the transverse support A (113) and the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) to move laterally. The edge of the hand crank is engraved with scales (each division corresponds to a displacement of 0.05mm), which can realize precise fine adjustment of the position of the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) relative to the center line of the first conveyor (12), ensuring that the scanning area is completely coincident with the center of the sample.

[0049] The height of the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) is adjusted by the vertical movement of the connecting rod along the longitudinal support A (111) aluminum rod: loosen the locking bolt on the side of the sliding sleeve, move the connecting rod up and down to the target height (the side of the aluminum rod is engraved with millimeter-level scales, and the height value can be read directly, with an adjustment range of 300-600mm), and adapt to shellfish samples with a shell height of 20-150mm (such as scallops, oysters, etc.). After adjusting to the correct position, tighten the locking bolt to fix the height.

[0050] After adjustment, the scanning center of the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) can be precisely aligned with the optimal scanning point (usually the geometric center of the sample) for different sized shellfish samples, ensuring that the laser beam is fan-shaped (scanning angle ≥ 90°, with...) during scanning. Figure 3 The scanning range of the three-dimensional laser scanner 13 is matched to completely cover the sample surface. A high-precision three-dimensional point cloud model is generated by the triangulation method (the distance is calculated by the time difference between laser emission and reception). The point cloud resolution can reach 0.01mm. The modular and adjustable design of the fixed mechanism A (11) enables the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) to flexibly adapt to the measurement needs of shellfish samples of different sizes, effectively improving the measurement accuracy (error ≤0.1mm) and repeatability (multiple measurement deviation ≤0.05mm) of body size data (shell height, shell length, shell width, etc.). Moreover, the overall mechanical structure has no complex electronic components, and the assembly is convenient. In the later stage, only the lead screw needs to be lubricated periodically (model Molykote 44) and the clamp bolts need to be checked, which significantly reduces the installation and maintenance costs.

[0051] In another technical solution, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes a weighing installation mechanism comprising a lower support frame 22 and an upper support frame 21 mounted on a base bracket 6. A pressure sensor 24 is mounted between the upper support frame 21 and the lower support frame 22, and a protective plate 25 is provided around the pressure sensor 24. The weighing installation mechanism refers to the support structure used to fix the pressure sensor, including the lower support frame, the upper support frame, and the protective plate. The protective plate refers to the baffle surrounding the sensor, used to prevent external collisions or interference. In this technical solution, the weighing installation mechanism includes a lower support frame (22), an upper support frame (21), and a protective plate (25). The lower support frame (22) is a rectangular steel plate, which is fixed to the base bracket (6) by welding. The upper support frame (21) is a U-shaped frame, which is connected to the bottom of the second conveyor (23) by bolts. The pressure sensor (24) is an S-type strain gauge sensor, installed between the upper support frame (21) and the lower support frame (22). Rubber pads are added to its upper and lower contact surfaces to reduce stress concentration. The protective plate (25) consists of four ABS plastic plates, which are fixed to the lower support frame (22) by brackets to form an enclosure structure. The conveyor belt support plate of the second conveyor (23) is rigidly connected to the upper support frame (21). When the sample passes through, the weight is transferred to the pressure sensor (24) through the conveyor belt. The strain gauge inside the sensor deforms and outputs a differential voltage signal, which is converted into a weight value after being processed by the amplification circuit. The protective plate (25) isolates external mechanical collisions and environmental dust, ensuring the stability of the sensor signal. The lower support frame (22) absorbs bottom vibrations and reduces interference. This structure provides a stable weighing platform, effectively isolates vibrations and external interference, and improves the accuracy and repeatability of dynamic weighing. The protective design extends the sensor life and is suitable for continuous high-intensity operation.

[0052] In another technical solution, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes an automatic sorting module comprising three pneumatic push rods (push rod A31, push rod B32, and push rod C33), each connected to a corresponding air pump (air pump A34, air pump B35, and air pump C36). A pneumatic push rod is a linear actuator driven by air pressure, used to push objects. An air pump is a power source that provides compressed air. In this technical solution, the automatic sorting module (3) includes three pneumatic push rods (push rod A31, push rod B32, and push rod C33) and three air pumps (air pump A34, air pump B35, and air pump C36). The pneumatic push rods are double-acting cylinders, fixed to the side of the output end of the third conveyor (42) via mounting bases, with the stroke of the push rod arm covering the width of the conveyor belt. Each air pump is a small piston air compressor, connected to the air inlet of the corresponding push rod via an air pipe. The solenoid valve of the air pump controls the airflow direction through the I / O signal of the control module (5) to achieve the extension and retraction of the push rod. The discharge slide (37) is installed for each push rod with an inclination angle of 30 degrees. When the sample enters the sorting area, the control module (5) determines the sorting level based on the measurement data and outputs a signal to the solenoid valve of the corresponding air pump. The solenoid valve switches the air path, and compressed air enters the push rod cylinder, pushing the piston rod to extend and push the sample into the designated discharge slide (37). The push rod action time can be adjusted by the control module (5) to ensure accurate sorting. The three independent pneumatic push rods support multi-level sorting, improving sorting flexibility and accuracy. The pneumatic system has a fast response and large thrust, which is suitable for sorting live shellfish and reduces the risk of sample damage.

[0053] In another technical solution, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes a fixing mechanism B41 comprising a longitudinal support B411 clamped on a base bracket 6, a transverse support B413 slidably mounted on the longitudinal support B411 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the third conveyor 42, and a position adjuster B412 for driving the transverse support B413 to slide and mounted on the longitudinal support B411. The transverse support B413 is located above the third conveyor 42, and the barcode scanner 43 is mounted on the transverse support B413 and inclined toward the conveying surface of the third conveyor 42 (see reference). Figure 3 The relative positional relationship between the fixed mechanism B41 and the third conveyor 42. Fixed mechanism B refers to the mechanical structure used for installing and adjusting the position of the barcode scanner, similar to fixed mechanism A; the tilted setting means the scanner is oriented at a certain angle towards the conveyor surface, which can avoid the specular reflection interference from the curved surface of the shell and improve the barcode reading rate. Considering the actual application scenario of the device, this tilt angle is preferably 15° downwards to the left (compared to...). Figure 3 The barcode scanner 43 marked in the image is tilted in the same direction.

[0054] In this technical solution, the fixing mechanism B (41) includes a longitudinal support B (411), a transverse support B (413), and a position adjuster B (412) (see structural details). Figure 3The longitudinal support B (411) consists of two vertical steel columns of the same specifications (made of Q235 steel, with a cross-sectional size of 50mm×50mm, and a height that matches the overall frame of the base support 6). It is fixed to the horizontal bar of the base support 6 by clamping plates and bolt assemblies on both sides. A 3mm thick nitrile rubber anti-slip pad is pasted on the inner side of the clamping plate to prevent the longitudinal support B (411) from shifting during equipment operation. Each vertical steel column has a long strip-shaped adjustment hole (300mm in length and 12mm in width) along the height direction. A sliding nut is embedded in the hole for connecting the connecting rod. The connecting rod is a horizontal stainless steel rod (20mm in diameter) perpendicular to the conveying direction of the third conveyor. Its two ends are connected to the adjustment holes of the two vertical steel columns by sliding nuts. When sliding in the vertical direction, it can be locked by bolts to achieve precise control of the height of the barcode scanner 43 (adjustment range 250-500mm), which is suitable for the barcode pasting height requirements of different sizes of shellfish (such as scallops, razor clams, etc.).

[0055] The transverse support B (413) is a horizontal aluminum rod (material 6061-T6, cross-sectional dimensions 30mm×20mm) parallel to the conveying direction of the third conveyor. Its top is slidably connected to the connecting rod via a guide rail slider assembly (the guide rail is a miniature linear guide rail with a stroke of 150mm), ensuring that the transverse support B (413) slides smoothly in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the third conveyor. The position adjuster B (412) adopts a gear and rack mechanism (gear module 1.5, rack length matching the guide rail stroke). The rack is fixed to the side of the connecting rod, and the gear is coaxially connected to the handwheel and installed on the top of the transverse support B (413) via a bearing seat. When the handwheel is rotated, the gear drives the rack to mesh and drive the transverse support B (413) to slide along the guide rail. The edge of the handwheel is engraved with scales (each division corresponds to a displacement of 0.05mm), which can realize the fine adjustment of the transverse position of the barcode scanner 43, ensuring that the scanning area accurately covers the barcode label.

[0056] The barcode scanner 43 is a CCD scanner (scanning range 150mm×150mm, reading speed ≥300 times / second), mounted on the bottom mounting base of the transverse support B (413) via a universal joint (capable of 360° rotation and ±30° pitch adjustment). Its scanning head faces the center of the conveyor belt of the third conveyor (42) and is tilted downwards and to the left at a 15° angle (towards the left). Figure 3 (The scanning direction is consistent with the markings). This angle has been repeatedly tested and optimized to minimize the interference of reflections from the smooth surface of the shell, while also being compatible with common barcode label pasting locations (such as the middle side of the shell).

[0057] When the shellfish sample moves with the third conveyor (42) to the detection area of ​​the photoelectric sensor C (44) (the installation position of the photoelectric sensor C (44) is referenced...) Figure 3Located on the side of the third conveyor 42, with a distance of 100mm from the barcode scanner 43 along the conveying direction, the photoelectric sensor C (44) sends a trigger signal, which is synchronously transmitted to the barcode scanner 43 and the encoder C (45); the encoder C (45) is coaxially connected to the drive roller of the third conveyor 42, and collects the conveyor belt displacement data in real time to ensure that the barcode scanner 43 starts reading when the sample barcode label is completely in the scanning area, avoiding missed readings due to sample position offset. The adjustable structure design allows the device to adapt to the differences in barcode pasting positions of different shellfish samples. The tilt scanning method further improves the barcode reading success rate (actual reading rate ≥98%) and speed, significantly reduces misreading or missed readings, and ensures the accurate correlation between sample information and phenotypic data.

[0058] In another technical solution, the barcode scanner 43 of the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotyping is positioned with its scanning direction tilted 15° downwards and to the left, aligned with the conveyor belt of the third conveyor 42. The scanning direction refers to the angle at which the barcode scanner's light is projected. A 15° downward tilt to the left means the scanner's light is projected downwards and to the left at a 15-degree angle to the vertical. In this technical solution, the scanning direction of the barcode scanner (43) is fixed by a universal joint to be tilted 15° downwards and to the left, aligned with the conveyor belt of the third conveyor (42). The scanner's optical module incorporates a laser diode and a receiver, and the light is projected onto the surface of the conveyor belt at a 15-degree angle, covering an elliptical area. The conveyor belt of the third conveyor (42) is made of a dark-colored, non-slip material to reduce glare. When a shellfish sample carrying a barcode label passes by, the tilted light illuminates the barcode at the optimal angle, preventing direct reflection from the curved surface of the shell from entering the receiver. The receiver captures the reflected light and converts it into a digital signal via a decoding circuit. The angle setting is optimized based on common label placement locations and shell morphology. This specific angle significantly reduces glare interference, improves barcode recognition rate and reading stability, and is suitable for high humidity or complex surface environments.

[0059] In another technical solution, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotyping is equipped with a shock-absorbing mechanism 7 between the bottom of the first conveyor 12, the second conveyor 23, and the third conveyor 42 and the base support 6. The shock-absorbing mechanism is a mechanical component used to absorb and isolate vibrations, installed between the conveyor and the base. In this technical solution, a shock-absorbing mechanism (7) is installed between the bottom of the first conveyor (12), the second conveyor (23), and the third conveyor (42) and the base support (6). The shock-absorbing mechanism (7) is connected to the conveyor frame and the base support (6) by bolts. The shock-absorbing mechanism (7) absorbs the vibrations generated by the conveyor motor and belt operation through elastic deformation, preventing vibrations from being transmitted to the sample or measurement module. For example, during body size measurement, it reduces sample shaking and ensures clear scanning point clouds; during weighing, it isolates mechanical noise and improves signal quality. The shock-absorbing mechanism improves measurement stability, reduces the impact of environmental vibrations on accuracy, and is suitable for high-precision phenotyping.

[0060] In another technical solution, the high-throughput precision measurement device for shellfish phenotypic characteristics includes a shock-absorbing mechanism 7 comprising a rubber pad 71, a spring 72, and a buffer 73. The rubber pad refers to an elastic rubber product used to absorb high-frequency vibrations. The spring refers to a metal helical spring used to buffer larger displacements. The buffer refers to a hydraulic or pneumatic damper used to dissipate vibration energy. In this technical solution, the shock-absorbing mechanism (7) specifically includes a rubber pad (71), a spring (72), and a buffer (73). The rubber pad (71) is a nitrile rubber disc installed on the contact surface of the connecting plate; the spring (72) is a stainless steel compression spring distributed around the shock-absorbing mechanism; the buffer (73) is a small hydraulic damper installed vertically at the center of the shock-absorbing mechanism. All components are assembled into a whole by bolts. When the conveyor is running, the rubber pad (71) first compresses to absorb high-frequency vibrations; the spring (72) responds to low-frequency vibrations and larger displacements; the buffer (73) dissipates energy through hydraulic oil flow, reducing resonance. The triple shock absorption works in tandem to provide a stable foundation. The composite damping mechanism effectively reduces vibrations at multiple frequencies, significantly improves the working environment stability of the measurement module, and ensures the accuracy and repeatability of data acquisition.

[0061] Example 1 This utility model provides a high-throughput, precise device for measuring the phenotypic characteristics of mollusks, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes the following five modules: body size measurement module 1, dynamic weighing module 2, automatic sorting module 3, sample information acquisition module 4, and control module 5. Among them, body size measurement module 1 and dynamic weighing module 2 are used for high-precision and rapid measurement of mollusk growth traits (such as body size and weight); automatic sorting module 3 automatically sorts and collects candidate parents based on the measured trait values; sample information acquisition module 4 is used to capture and record individual information of candidate parents; and control module 5 is used to collect phenotypic data, sorting results, and sample information in real time, and to integrate, store, and manage this data.

[0062] In one embodiment, the body size measuring module 1 includes a fixing mechanism A11, which spans across the first conveyor 12. Its two longitudinal supports A111 are mounted on the base frame 7. A position adjuster A112 is provided in the upper middle part of the longitudinal supports A111. A transverse support A113 is mounted on the position adjuster A112. A three-dimensional laser scanner 13 is configured on the transverse support A113, which is located above the center line of the first conveyor 12, vertically downward and aligned with the conveyor belt of the first conveyor. Its height can be flexibly adjusted with the transverse support. The measuring range is 20cm and the resolution is 0.01mm. A photoelectric sensor A14 and an encoder A15 are configured on the side of the first conveyor 12 and connected to the three-dimensional laser scanner 13. The three-dimensional laser scanner 13 is connected to the control module 5 via the TCP protocol.

[0063] In one embodiment, the dynamic weighing module 2 includes two support frames. The upper support frame 21 is installed below the second conveyor 23, and the lower support frame 22 is fixed on the base bracket 6. A high-precision pressure sensor 24 with an accuracy of 0.01g is installed between the upper support frame 21 and the lower support frame 22 and directly below the second conveyor 23. The pressure sensor 24 is surrounded by a protective plate 25 and is installed on the base bracket 6. A photoelectric sensor B26 is arranged on the side of the second conveyor 23 and connected to the pressure sensor 24. The pressure sensor 24 is connected to the control module 5 via the TCP protocol.

[0064] In one embodiment, the automatic sorting module 3 includes push rods A31, B32, and C33, which are respectively connected to air pumps A34, B35, and C36. The air pumps are mounted on the base bracket 6 and connected to the control module 5 via TCP protocol. Based on the property values ​​and preset values ​​sent by the control module 5, the push rods A31, B32, and C33 are controlled to complete corresponding extension and retraction movements to sort individual components. A discharge slide 37 is provided in front of the push rods.

[0065] In one embodiment, the sample information acquisition module 4 includes a fixing mechanism B41, which spans across the third conveyor 42. Its two longitudinal supports B411 are mounted on the base frame 6. A position adjuster B412 is provided in the upper middle part of the longitudinal supports B411. A transverse support B413 is mounted on the position adjuster B412. A barcode scanner 43 is configured on the transverse support B413, which is located above the center line of the third conveyor 42, tilted downward and to the left at 15° to align with the third conveyor 42. Its height can be flexibly adjusted with the transverse support. The scanning range is 15×15cm (length×width). A photoelectric sensor C44 and an encoder C45 are configured on the side of the third conveyor 42. They are connected to the barcode scanner 43. The barcode scanner 43 is connected to the control module 5 via the TCP protocol.

[0066] In one embodiment, the minimum side length of the QR code scanned by the sample information acquisition module 4 can be as low as 8 mm. The QR code records individual information such as the shellfish number, is printed on a PVC label, and is fixed to the shell surface, and can remain stable for more than a year in the marine environment. In addition to reading individual information, the sample information acquisition module 4 can also automatically input the shellfish body size and weight data obtained by the body size measurement unit 1 and the dynamic weighing module 2 into the corresponding QR code and associate it with the individual information. The system supports periodic repeated measurements, automatically reads historical data and records new measurement data, thus realizing for the first time the continuous tracking, measurement and recording of the growth traits of a single shellfish sample.

[0067] In one embodiment, to ensure high accuracy in shellfish phenotyping, a shock-absorbing mechanism 7 is installed below the first conveyor 12, the second conveyor 23, and the third conveyor 42. This mechanism consists of a rubber pad 71, a spring 72, and a buffer 73. It filters out vibrations during the operation of the conveyors and designs seamless welded conveyor belts to increase smoothness of transport, reduce the impact of individual shellfish swaying on the measurement, and improve the accuracy of phenotyping data acquisition.

[0068] Example 2 like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment utilizes a phenotyping device to determine the growth traits of shellfish, sort parents, and collect sample information, including the following steps: Step 1: System Initialization and Sample Delivery Start the device, and the first conveyor (12), the second conveyor (23) and the third conveyor (42) start running. Adjust the speed of the conveyor belt to the preset target value. According to the type of shellfish to be tested, adjust the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) and the barcode scanner (43) to the optimal scanning position through the fixing mechanism A (11) and the fixing mechanism B (41) respectively. Set the parameters of the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) and use the plane of the conveyor belt as the reference plane. Place the shellfish to be tested in sequence at the input end of the first conveyor (12) and smoothly enter the body size measurement module (1) with the conveyor belt.

[0069] Step 2: Body Size Data Acquisition and Processing When a shellfish passes through the photoelectric sensor A (14), the three-dimensional laser scanner (13) is triggered to start scanning and obtain the color point cloud depth map and black and white depth map of the shellfish shell. The scanning data is sent to the control module (5) in real time. The control module (5) processes the point cloud image to remove shadows and background interference. Based on the conversion relationship between the number of pixels and the actual size, it automatically calculates the shell height, shell length, shell cross-sectional area and shell cross-sectional perimeter of the shellfish. At the same time, based on the vertical distance between the highest point in the image and the reference plane, combined with the preset height ratio coefficient, the shell width is calculated.

[0070] Step 3: Dynamic Weighing After the body size measurement is completed, the shellfish individual is transported from the first conveyor (12) to the second conveyor (23); the pressure sensor (24) is zeroed in the no-load state; when the shellfish passes through the photoelectric B (26), the pressure sensor (24) is triggered to enter the dynamic weighing mode and collect the weight signal; the analog voltage signal output by the pressure sensor (24) is amplified by the amplifier circuit and transmitted to the control module (5), which converts it into a digital signal and calculates the real-time weight of the shellfish individual with a measurement accuracy of 0.01g.

[0071] Step 4: Automatic sorting execution The control module (5) generates sorting instructions based on the body size and weight data obtained in steps 2 and 3, combined with preset grading standards. When the shellfish enters the sorting area of ​​the third conveyor (42), the control module (5) drives the corresponding air pump to control the corresponding pneumatic push rod (push rod A31, push rod B32 or push rod C33) to perform extension and retraction actions, pushing the shellfish to the corresponding discharge slide (37) to complete automatic sorting. Taking the scallop as an example, the following grading standards can be set: Shell height classification: Grade 1 ≥ 60mm, Grade 2 40mm-60mm, Grade 3 ≤ 40mm; Weight grading: Grade 1 ≥ 40g, Grade 2 20g-40g, Grade 3 ≤ 20g; Depending on actual breeding or production needs, one can choose to classify based solely on shell height or weight, or combine both to make a multi-level judgment.

[0072] Step 5: Sample Information Collection and Data Binding The shellfish continues to be transported on the third conveyor (42). When it passes the photoelectric C (44), it triggers the barcode scanner (43) to read the barcode label attached to the shell surface. The barcode scanner (43) converts the collected light signal into an electrical signal, amplifies it and transmits it to the control module (5), which parses it into the corresponding individual identity information. The control module (5) automatically binds the body size and weight data measured in steps 2 and 3 with the individual information, and supports writing the updated phenotypic data into the barcode system to realize continuous tracking of individual growth traits and historical data management.

[0073] Step 6: Data Integration and Output The control module (5) receives and integrates the data uploaded by each module in real time, including all phenotypic parameters such as individual identity information, shell height, shell length, shell width, shell cross-sectional area, shell cross-sectional perimeter, and weight; the integrated data is displayed in real time on the interactive interface of the control module (5) (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown), and automatically writes the data into a predefined Excel spreadsheet, storing it on the local hard drive; it also supports exporting data via USB interface for subsequent breeding analysis or long-term tracking. The number of devices and processing scale described herein are for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model. Applications, modifications, and variations of this utility model will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
