Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pond butterfly mussel screening technology, and in particular to a pond butterfly mussel shell color screening device. Background Technology

[0002] The Pond Butterfly Mussel (Swimmus spp.) is a large freshwater molluskaloid belonging to the genus Swimmus in the family Elaeagnidae. Its shell is an irregularly elongated oval shape, with a blunt, rounded anterior end and a pointed posterior end. The dorsal margin has a triangular wing-like structure. The shell is hard, and the keratinous layer is black. The nacreous layer is bluish-gray and has a three-layered structure (epipodial layer, prismatic layer, and nacreous layer), with some shells exhibiting a complex multi-layered structure.

[0003] After collecting pond butterfly mussels, they need to be sorted according to their shell color. The core principle is to use optical recognition to identify color differences in the material, combined with mechanical vibration or airflow separation to achieve grading. However, this method requires sufficient kinetic energy during vibration or airflow to deliver the mussels to the corresponding discharge point. Moreover, the numerous and varied differences in shell color lead to excessive energy consumption and increased sorting costs. Therefore, we propose a pond butterfly mussel shell color sorting device. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4A pond butterfly mussel shell color screening device includes a conveying mechanism, which includes two parallel crossbeams 1. Support legs 5 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the crossbeams 1. Multiple drive rollers 2 are arranged at intervals between the two crossbeams 1. The ends of the drive rollers 2 are rotatably connected to the crossbeams 1. A conveyor belt 3 is provided on the drive rollers 2. Multiple through holes are opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 3. A drive motor 4 is installed at one end of one of the drive rollers 2, which can place the pond butterfly mussels on the conveyor belt 3 for conveying. The through holes on the conveyor belt 3 allow the water from the pond butterfly mussels that fall on the conveyor belt 3 to fall through the through holes.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water collection trough 33 is provided below the conveyor belt 3. The side of the water collection trough 33 is connected to the support leg 5 through a bracket. A drain pipe 34 is installed at the bottom of the water collection trough 33 to collect the water falling from the through hole and discharge it from the drain pipe 34.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, inclined first guide plates 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides above one end of the conveying mechanism (i.e., conveyor belt 3). The first guide plates 6 are perpendicular to the top surface of the conveying mechanism (i.e., conveyor belt 3), and the tops of the two first guide plates 6 are fixed together by a connecting frame. The end with the largest distance between the two first guide plates 6 is closest to the end of the conveying mechanism, that is, the two first guide plates 6 form a wide mouth shape so that the pond butterfly mussels can be conveyed one by one on the conveyor belt 3.

[0028] Furthermore, to allow the pond butterfly mussels to disperse more quickly and be transported individually on conveyor belt 3, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a support frame 22 is installed in the middle of the side where the two first guide plates 6 are relatively far apart. A vibration motor 21 is installed inside the support frame 22, and at least one guide shaft 16 is installed outside the support frame 22. The other end of the guide shaft 16 slides through a support seat 31, which is fixed on the crossbeam 1. A first limiting plate 17 is installed on the end of the guide shaft 16, and compression springs 18 are sleeved on the end of the guide shaft 16. The compression springs 18 are arranged on both sides of the support seat 31, which drive the first guide plate 6 to move back and forth in a straight line along the axial direction of the guide shaft 16. This can perform a reciprocating action on the pond butterfly mussels placed between the two first guide plates 6, allowing the pond butterfly mussels to be transported more dispersedly one by one on the conveyor belt 3.

[0029] To prevent the pond clams from piling up on conveyor belt 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a connecting shaft 24 is provided at the top of the two first guide plates 6 away from the second guide plate 8. The connecting shaft 24 passes through the first guide plate 6 and is connected to the second limiting plate 25, and the two are rotatably connected. A flexible paddle plate 23 is installed on the connecting shaft 24, and a brush 27 is installed at the bottom of the paddle plate 23. Torsion springs 26 are sleeved on both ends of the connecting shaft 24. One end of the torsion spring 26 is fixed on the first guide plate 6, and the other end of the torsion spring 26 is fixed on the second limiting plate 25. The torsion springs 26 are used to paddle the pond clams sent to the conveyor belt 3, thereby separating the pond clams stacked together and affecting the subsequent screening operation.

[0030] Flexible rubber plates 7 are connected to the other end of the first guide plate 6, and a second guide plate 8 is connected to the other end of the flexible rubber plate 7. A support plate 10 is installed between the tops of the second guide plates 8, and an optical sensor 9 is installed on the support plate 10. A third guide plate 11 is provided at the other end of the second guide plate 8. A connecting seat is installed on the outer side of the third guide plate 11 near the second guide plate 8. Fixed seats are rotatably installed at the upper and lower ends of the connecting seat through a rotating shaft. The fixed seats are fixed to the second guide plate 8. A connecting plate 12 is provided between the tops of the two third guide plates 11. The ends of the connecting plate 12 are connected to the two third guide plates 11 respectively through a rotating shaft. An electric push rod 13 is provided on the outer side of a third guide plate 11. One end of the electric push rod 13 is rotatably installed in a U-shaped seat 14, which is fixed on the third guide plate 11. The other end of the electric push rod 13 is rotatably installed on a support shaft 15, which is fixed to the conveying mechanism (i.e., the crossbeam 1). After the pond clams are sent out one by one from the first guide plate 6, they will be sent into the third guide plate 11. Due to the pushing action of the electric push rod 13 on the third guide plate 11, the pond clams sent out from the third guide plate 11 can land at different positions on the conveyor belt 3, thus achieving the pond clams screening operation without excessive energy consumption.

[0031] Specifically, the connection between the flexible rubber sheet 7 and the first guide plate 6 and the second guide plate 8, as well as the rotational connection between the connecting plate 12 and the third guide plate 11, ensure the connectivity between the plates without affecting the normal rotation of the guide plates.

[0032] An inclined feeding trough 28 is provided at one end of the conveyor belt 3 near the first guide plate 6. The feeding trough 28 is fixed to the crossbeam 1 by the first fixing frame 29. In use, the pond clams to be screened can be placed on the feeding trough 28, and then the pond clams will fall onto the conveyor belt 3 along the feeding trough 28. Then, at one end of the conveyor belt 3 away from the first guide plate 6, there are multiple partition plates 19 arranged at intervals. The space between two adjacent partition plates 19 corresponds to the discharge trough 30. The top of the partition plate 19 is fixed to the crossbeam 1 by the third fixing frame 20. At one end of the conveyor belt 3 away from the feeding trough 28, there are multiple discharge troughs 30 arranged at intervals. The discharge troughs 30 are fixed to the crossbeam 1 by the second fixing frame 32. After screening, the deflected third guide plate 11 will send the pond clams into the corresponding partition plates 19, and then send them to the corresponding discharge troughs 30 by the conveyor belt 3, thus completing the screening operation of the pond clams.

[0033] This utility model also includes a control box 35, which contains a controller. The controller is connected to the optical sensor 9, the electric push rod 13, the drive motor 4, and the vibration motor 21 via wires. In actual use, the controller is one of a PLC logic controller, a control motherboard, or a control host.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
