[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an apparatus for selecting juvenile crabs or juveniles mixed in crepe, and in particular, the juvenile crabs or juveniles that are boiled and ripened with the raw fish of the crepe are orange-red, and the The present invention relates to a juvenile-crab-juvenile-vegetables sorting device for sorting.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 At a certain point in the fishing season for crepe-sourced fish, a large number of crab or fry crabs or flies, or fry, may be mixed in the crepe-sourced fish. Is difficult to select in the raw state, both in terms of labor and time, so it is unavoidable to leave it as it is, or it is boiled and dried, and once made into a product, it is sorted by wind. Wind power sorting and buoyancy sorting, in which crepe products are soaked in water and sorted according to the difference in buoyancy, are carried out. Floating force selection uses the property that when pickled in water, it absorbs water and becomes heavy and sinks, but dried fry crab and fry easily float without absorbing water. It is a thing. It should be noted that when a small amount of mixed crabs and flies are selected, they are selected by hand.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, there is a problem that the crepe which has a large number of fry crabs and fry without being sorted out is not good-looking and the product value is significantly reduced. On the other hand, in the case of wind power selection, it is difficult to perform accurate selection, because it is performed by sending wind from the side while dropping Tachi-rimen, which is a mixture of juvenile crabs and juveniles. In addition, in the buoyancy selection, crepe is soaked in water, the umami component escapes, the quality of the product deteriorates, and since it has to be dried again, it requires additional heating cost and labor, resulting in higher production cost. There is a problem. As mentioned above, it is difficult to manually select a large number of fry crabs and fry from the viewpoint of labor and working time. Therefore, the inventor of the present application turns orange-red when boiled juvenile crabs and juveniles, which is so-called boiled crab and boiled juveniles, and the difference in color from crepe noodles becomes clear. Although it was conceived to sort by, it was not possible because there was no detection means that could detect and output only orange-red color. Therefore, the researchers including the inventor of the present application completed the invention of the sensing camera capable of detecting and outputting only the orange-red color while continuing the earnest research. The present invention has been made against the background of such circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to avoid the use of wind power or to soak the crepe products in water, and to mix the squid and crabs mixed in the crepe. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a juvenile crab and juvenile shrimp sorting device capable of sorting the shrimp.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to chirari-men with mixed crabs will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 10 is a conveyor belt, which is stretched by pulleys 12 and 14 and is rotatable in the arrow direction by an electric motor (not shown). A hopper 16 is provided above the upstream end of the conveyor belt 10 to supply the mixed noodles of juvenile crabs to be sorted, and below the downstream end of the conveyor belt 10. Separate gutters 18 are arranged to receive the selected fry crab and crepe so that they are not mixed with each other, and each of them is guided and housed in a predetermined container (not shown). As shown in FIG. 2A, a plurality of alignment grooves 20 having a V-shaped cross section are formed in parallel on the surface side of the conveyor belt 10 along the rotation direction of the conveyor belt 10. . The alignment groove 20 has a depth such that the juvenile crabs 22 can be aligned in a line, and the upper ends of the adjacent alignment grooves 20 are rounded so that the juvenile crab and chirimen are placed on it. Even in such a case, it does not stop there, but falls into either the right or left alignment groove 20. However, the width of the upper end may be made extremely narrow so that the young crabs and crepe noodles will not be placed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a sensing camera 24 capable of detecting and outputting only the color exhibited by the boiled crab, that is, orange-red, is arranged above each alignment groove 20. On the downstream side of the conveyor belt 10, near the end of the conveyor belt 10 (end of the dusting side), an air blowing nozzle 26 is arranged above each alignment groove 20 and ejects pressure air based on the output of the sensing camera 24. The crab 22 is blown off from the dropping point of the crepe and drops into the separation trough 18 in a state of being separated from the crepe. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the output of the sensing camera 24 is input to a controller 28 including an amplifier and the like, and an electromagnetic valve 32 connected to an air tank 30 which is a pressure air source is opened, and a pressure is applied from the air blowing nozzle 26. The air is blowing out. The solenoid valves 32 are arranged in the same number as the air blowing nozzles 26 so that each air blowing nozzle 26 can be operated individually. In addition, the controller 28 is provided with a delay circuit such as a timer, and when it takes time to move the juvenile crab 22 on the conveyor belt 10 to a predetermined position below the air blowing nozzle 26 after being detected by the detection camera 24. It is adjusted so as to blow out pressurized air after a certain period of time.

[0007] In the embodiment configured as described above, the chirari-men mixed with fry crab placed in the hopper 16 is placed on the conveyor belt 10 and is downstream of the conveyor belt 10, that is, in the direction of the arrow. While the young crab and the crepe are respectively fitted into the respective alignment grooves 20, meanwhile, the young crabs are aligned one by one in a row. Chirimen falls downward at the end of the conveyor belt 10 and is contained in the separation trough 18. However, as described above, when the crabs pass under the sensing camera 24, they are detected by the sensing camera 24. The air is ejected from the air blowing nozzle 26 based on the detected value and is blown outward from the end portion of the conveyor belt 10 and falls into the separation trough 18. The juvenile crab and the crepe are dropped on the outer side and the inner side of the partition plate 32 provided in the separation gutter 18 and are selected.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which a splashing device 34 is provided in place of the air blowing nozzle 26 of the above embodiment, and the parts which do not need to be changed are designated by the same reference numerals. The explanation is omitted. Based on the output of the sensing camera 24, the splashing device 34 energizes an electromagnetic solenoid built into the device to attract the elastic splashing member 36 and remove the fry crab at its tip. It is designed so that if it is blown off and the power supply is stopped, it will return to its original state due to its elasticity. There is an advantage that a pressure air source as in the above embodiment is not required.

In each of the above embodiments, the conveyor belt 10 may be formed with a U-shaped alignment groove instead of the V-shaped alignment groove. In short, it is sufficient if the sardines and the young crabs fit in and the young crabs can be arranged in a line. Each of the above examples is an example in which the present invention is applied to the selection of juvenile crabs so that the juvenile crabs are selected from the mixture of chirimen and juvenile crabs. When applied as a juvenile-jump sort for selecting juveniles, the basic structure is the same as that of the above embodiment, but the dimensions may be partially different. For example, the depth of the alignment groove, the tip position of the air blowing nozzle, the tip position of the splashing member, and the like are adjusted for the fry as necessary. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various modes without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. By using a sensing camera that was developed by the present inventors for the first time and that can detect and output only the orange-red color that appears when simmering juvenile crabs and juveniles, chili crabs mixed in chirimen products or It is possible to sort juveniles in a dry state, there is no need to soak the crepe in water unlike the conventional sorting due to the difference in buoyancy, and to reduce the quality. Since the flies are selected one by one, the sorting accuracy is improved compared to the case of the wind sorting. By the alignment groove of the conveyor belt, a mixture of juvenile crabs or juveniles and crepe to be sorted is aligned in a row, which facilitates sorting and eliminates sorting omissions, improving sorting accuracy. Further, since the alignment groove has a constant width, a constant gap is necessarily created between the groove bottoms of the adjacent alignment grooves, so that a plurality of sensing cameras can be installed on the conveyor belt. It becomes easy to arrange them at right angles to the rotation direction and on each alignment groove, and as a result, the sorting device becomes compact.
