Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shellfish cage technology, specifically a shellfish aquaculture cage seaming device that has good seaming effect, high seaming efficiency, long service life and saves manpower. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, shellfish products generally include shellfish such as oysters and scallops. During the production process, shellfish need to be turned over at least 3-4 times. Each time, the shellfish in the culture cage needs to be emptied out, sorted, and then put back into the culture cage for further cultivation. However, the current method of filling the cage usually involves manually opening the side of the culture cage and then using tools to pour the shellfish into the different partitions of the culture cage. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, technicians have developed a cage-filling device with patent number 2023235713530 and patent number 2023235713530, which is a multi-purpose automatic cage-filling machine. However, this device has a complex structure. Although it automatically sews the aquaculture cages using a cage-sewing machine, the specific structure is not disclosed as it is only a definition of a cage-sewing machine. Therefore, the specific structure and method of cage sewing cannot be known. Moreover, the existing cage-filling equipment can only cage oysters. The side seams of the oyster cages still need to be sewn manually after filling. After sewing, the aquaculture cages filled with shellfish also need to be lifted out manually, which increases the workload of the staff. Summary of the Invention

The rope is sewn into the opening of the breeding cage by the swing of the swing needle 626 and the rotation of the rope hook 618. When the motor 601 is pulled continuously, the hook rod 607 of the pull seat 629 is pulled continuously. During this process, the swing needle 626 and the rope hook 618 work together to gradually sew the opening on the side of the breeding cage until it is completely sewn. Finally, the rope end is cut and knotted manually, and the breeding cage can be removed. This realizes the automatic sewing process and has the advantages of good sewing effect, high sewing efficiency, long service life and labor saving. Example

The feeding motor 705 drives the feeding drive wheel 703 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding belt 702 to transport the shellfish from below to above the conveying inlet of the material distribution and conveying mechanism 3.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the empty culture cage is manually placed with its side opening facing upwards into the cage support rod 508 of the feeding and releasing mechanism 5. The feeding and transferring cylinder 503 is activated, moving the culture cage to below the discharge port of the distribution box 2. The spreading rods 207 below the front opening plate 205 and the rear opening plate 206 are inserted into the mesh on both sides of the side opening of the culture cage. The oysters are placed on the feeding mechanism 7. The feeding motor 705 in the feeding mechanism 7 rotates, and the feeding belt 702 moves the oysters upwards to the conveying inlet position of the distribution conveyor mechanism 3. While the feeding belt 702 is unloading, the conveyor belt 301 in the distribution conveyor mechanism 3 gradually moves, ensuring that the oysters falling from the feeding belt 702 are gradually and evenly distributed on the conveyor belt 301. The electronic weighing sensor 307 detects the weight of the oysters. When the weight of the oysters on the conveyor belt 301 reaches the preset counterweight, the feeding mechanism 7 stops feeding, and the conveyor belt 301 of the distributing conveyor mechanism 3 stops moving. At this time, the pushing mechanism 4 is opened, and the pushing cylinder 402 in the pushing mechanism 4 drives the pushing plate 401 to move. The pushing plate 401 pushes the oysters on the conveyor belt 301 into the distributing box 2, and they fall into the distributing box 2 through the inlet. At this time, the pushing cylinder 402 drives the pushing plate 401 to move backward to proceed to the next feeding process. The oysters fall into the distributing box 2. At this time, the opening cylinder 208 is opened, and the opening cylinder 208 drives the front opening plate 205 and the rear opening plate 206 to open. The support rod 207 below 6 causes the side opening of the culture cage to open to both sides, thus opening the side opening of the culture cage. Then, the oysters in the feeding box 2 fall into the culture cage. After falling into the culture cage, the release cylinder 509 is opened, causing the output shaft of the release cylinder 509 to move down, which in turn causes the release connecting seat 510 to move down, which in turn causes the release connecting rod 511 to open. The lower part of the opening plate 507 opens, and the cage support rod 508 connected to the lower part of the opening plate 507 opens, thus releasing the culture cage into the cage receiving chamber 501. After release, the release cylinder 509 causes the output shaft to move up, retracting the lower part of the opening plate 507 and the cage support rod 508 back into place. After the culture cage falls into the receiving chamber, the pulling motor 601 in the cage pulling assembly is started, and the pulling motor 601 drives the hook seat. 606 moves towards the breeding cage. When the hook head 631 of the hook rod 607 contacts the breeding cage, the pulling cylinder 627 drives the hook rod 607 to move. The hook head 631 of the hook rod 607 retracts inward and hooks the two sides of the breeding cage. Then, the pulling motor 601 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction. The hook rod 607 and the hook seat 606 pull the breeding cage towards the sewing assembly position. When the breeding cage passes the sewing assembly position, the pulling motor 601 continues to pull. The gathering roller 611 in the opening gathering component of the sewing assembly rotates inward and upward. At this time, the net at the side opening position of the breeding cage is closed inward under the action of the gathering lever 612. The closed opening passes through the position of the swing needle 626 and the rope hook 618. The rope is threaded into the rope hole of the needle head of the swing needle 626.The opening of the breeding cage is sewn open by the swinging of the oscillating needle 626 and the rotation of the rope-threading hook 618. As the motor 601 continues to operate, the hook rod 607 of the pull base 629 continuously pulls the breeding cage. During this process, the oscillating needle 626 and the rope-threading hook 618 work together to gradually sew the opening on the side of the breeding cage until it is completely sewn. Finally, the rope end is manually cut and knotted, and the breeding cage is removed.

[0060] The above embodiments can realize automatic feeding, automatic weighing and even distribution of the aquaculture cages, and automatic loading of shellfish products into the aquaculture cages. After the aquaculture cages are transferred in, they are automatically released. During the process of pulling the aquaculture cages away, they can also be automatically sewn up. This process only requires the feeding worker and the worker to cut the seam and take out the aquaculture cages, saving a lot of manpower. The cage loading efficiency is high, the filling and distribution of the cages are even, the cage loading effect is good, the service life is long, and the cage filling and sewing are integrated. This patented solution can quickly realize the sewing of the aquaculture cages through the design of pulling and sewing at the same time.
