Description

  The present invention relates to a cleaning and aligning apparatus for automatic sea squirt sorting, and more specifically, a single sea squirt that is individually separated, a sea squirt that is not individually separated, and by-products such as mussels, oysters, and starfish. Only the single squirts individually separated from the squirts harvested are recognized by the vision system, the appearance is measured, the weight is calculated, and then the single squirts are separated by the sorting and sorting machine located on the rear side of the vision system. Before feeding the sea squirts into an automatic sorter that sorts and separates the sea squirts according to their weight classification, the sea squirts are separated from the sea squirts harvested with sea squirt lumps and by-products into a single sea squirt. The present invention relates to a cleaning and aligning device for automatic sea squirt sorting, in which all pre-processing steps up to cleaning for single squirt and alignment for individual loading into an automatic sorter are automatically performed.

In general, sea squirts are harvested through individual separation, washing, sorting, and shipping processes, and this series of processes is almost done manually. In Korea, about 10 to 14 people are mobilized in Korea, and about 50% or more of these are put into sorting operations with a large amount of work and high work intensity.
As far as squirts are sorted, by-products such as mussels, squirrels, and starfish are filtered out, and squirts that have been determined to be commercially viable by visual inspection that relies on the operator's empirical judgment are used. , Small) was done by work method. Such a method is based on the individual's selection experience, so the selection criteria are very subjective, not only reducing consumer confidence and added value for squirt grade quality, but also when the harvest of squirts is high. Has a problem that it is difficult to expect smooth production due to work that depends on human power.
As a result, there is a demand for the development of technologies that can increase the efficiency of sea squirt selection work at sea squirt farming sites and increase the income of cultured fishermen. In the case of sea squirts, mainly Korea, Japan, China, etc. The technical limit is that the demand for technological development is very low, and it is necessary to filter and separate the sea squirts and by-products from a single isolated sea squirt at the same time as the single sea squirt is sorted and separated by grade. The situation was not developed until recently.

In accordance with the above situation, in the process of transferring the harvested squirts thrown into the conveyor belt, a plane image of the squirt is photographed with the CCD camera of the vision system placed on the upper side of the conveyor belt and its external dimensions and While measuring the area, the hue area of the sea squirt is measured using the HSV color model built in the controller of the vision system, and based on this, the appearance ratio and area ratio of the sea squirt are calculated, and the single sea squirt that is individually separated is calculated. At the same time, after calculating the weight using the projected area of a single squirt, the single squirt is separated according to the grade according to the weight by a sorting and sorting machine arranged on the rear side of the vision system. The patent application for patenting and patent registration of the method for automatically selecting sea squirts using the feature measurement and HSV color model is described. .
According to the above-mentioned prior application of the present applicant, only a single squirter recognized by the vision system can be quickly and accurately sorted and separated by weight using a sorting and sorting machine on the rear side. Unrecognized sea squirts and by-products can be discharged and re-separated according to a conveyor belt. As a result, the time and cost for selecting and separating sea squirts will be maximized, and the actual and objective standardization of sea squirt grade standards will be achieved to ensure sufficient production and product value by grade. Can do.
However, even in the case of an earlier application, commercialization is carried out after the single separated sea squirts are primarily separated and stored by grade using an automatic sorter that includes a vision system and a sorter. In addition, for shipping, there is a problem that a cumbersome additional process of manually cleaning a single sea squirt stored in a storage cylinder is required, and sea squirt and by-products are mixed into the conveyor belt of the automatic sorter. When the squirts harvested in a fresh state is directly input, there is a problem that the entire processing time is delayed because a considerable load is applied to the selection and classification work of only a single squirt.
In addition, squirt bunches, by-products that are not judged as a single squirt by the vision system, or single squirts that are not discharged to the storage cylinder by the sorting and sorting machine are gathered through the exit of the conveyor belt and the amount collected is compared Therefore, before re-introducing it into the automatic sorter, there is a problem that post-processing work is required to separate the squirt lump into a single squirt using a separate work table and to remove by-products. It was. Therefore, there has been a demand for an additional method that can solve these problems all at once and further maximize the efficiency of the sea squirt automatic sorting operation.

In particular, by using a screw conveyor 4 of a type optimized for the alignment type transfer of irregular shaped objects such as sea squirts, a single sear introduced from the input conveyor 2 through the drop chamber 3 can be used as an inner periphery of the screw conveyor 4. After being systematically aligned in the process of rotating and transporting along the surface, it can be discharged one by one to the discharge conveyor 5 side, so that a single squirter can be controlled by the automatic sorter vision system. Sorting and sorting operations can be performed more quickly and accurately, and the manual conveyor 1, the input conveyor 2, the screw conveyor 4 and the discharge conveyor 5 are all integrated on one frame table type apparatus base 9. By providing a compact structure, the volume and size of the sea squirt cleaning and alignment apparatus 10 can be greatly reduced and It is possible to improve the sexual

In addition, a rail-type cover frame 15 that covers the edge of the conveyor belt 11 is installed on the upper end side of the left and right conveyor frames 12 of the manual conveyor 1, and the input conveyor 2 is a cover frame 15 of the manual conveyor 1. By installing it in the form of a channel with a “∪” -shaped cross section placed on the same line, it is possible to push a single squirt separated by the manual conveyor 1 into the input conveyor 2 side more easily and safely, and by-products If a sea squirt or a single sea squirt is discharged from the manual conveyor 1 instead, the photo sensor 17 senses this and stops the operation of the manual conveyor 1, thereby separating the single sea squirt from the sea squirt harvest. The convenience of manual work can be further maximized.
In addition, the input conveyor 2, screw conveyor 4 and discharge conveyor 5 are arranged in two rows on one apparatus base 9, while the two rows of screw conveyor 4 and discharge conveyor 5 are one drive motor 44 and conveyor motor. 53, and the supply of the cleaning water by the two drop chambers 3 is also performed by the single cleaning water supply pipe 61, so that it is even more compact and economical, and the pretreatment performance of the sea squirt is extremely high. The cleaning and alignment apparatus 10 can be provided with excellent performance, and one discharge conveyor 5 of the two rows of discharge conveyors 5 can be extended a little longer by the auxiliary conveyor 8 so that the outlet of the discharge conveyor 5 and the automatic sorter can be provided. Using a separate two-line transfer conveyor line, fold the entrance to the "U" shape instead of a straight line By so can be connected in a manner, it is possible to install the squirts cleaning and alignment device 10 to a relatively narrow indoor space with automatic sorting machines.

  As an additional matter, the operation state of each conveyor can be changed to the situation using the controller 7 such as making the advancement and transfer speed of the input conveyor 2 and the discharge conveyor 5 faster than the advancement and transfer speed of the manual conveyor 1 and screw conveyor 4. By making it possible to adjust appropriately, it is possible to prevent the accumulation phenomenon of single squirts in the input conveyor 2 and the discharge conveyor 5 and the delay of the pretreatment work due thereto, and the discharge conveyor 5 is also By installing the belt plates 28 and 56 on the surfaces of the conveyor belts 21 and 51 of the input conveyor 2 and the discharge conveyor 5 in a channel shape with a cross-sectional shape and tilting together with the screw conveyor 4, At the same time as enabling more accurate transfer work while preventing , It can be variously applied by utilizing the height of the outlet of the system also discharge conveyor 5 to link the inlet of the outlet and automatic sorter discharge conveyor 5.
