DEVICE FOR LOADING FISH INTO FISH-PROCESSING MACHINES Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A22C25/08 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: device includes a feeding conveyor, a loading conveyor, a catching device with a catching element, a measuring device, a calculator. An instrument for obtaining video images is used as a measuring device. The device is provided with a plate (4) located above the feeding and loading conveyors on which a calculator (8) with light sources connected to it, a video imaging device, a catching device and an actuating drive that includes three stepper motors (10, 11, 12), fixed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. The catching device is made in the form of three levers (13, 14, 15) mounted on the shafts of the stepper motors with the possibility of synchronous rotation by a predetermined angle. A platform (34) is connected with the levers by means of three pairs of rods. The pairs of rods are fixed at the same distance from the platform center at the corners of the equilateral triangle. Each pair of rods is combined by means of the upper and the lower inserts connected to the ends of the rods by spherical swivel joints. The upper inserts are fixed to the lever, and the lower ones are attached to the platform, in the center of which the catching element equipped with a drive connected to the calculator is mounted with the possibility of rotation around its axis and made in the form of a vacuum sucker (35). The device is additionally provided with a vacuum valve (37) fixed to the plate and connected to the calculator, a vacuum pipeline connected by a flexible hose with a vacuum sucker. The feeding conveyor is made composite, including a feeding (1), an operating (2), and an inspection (3) conveyor, all connected to the calculator, mounted with the possibility to change the movement speed on a separate conveyor.

EFFECT: invention improves the productivity of loading fish into fish processing machines while simultaneously selecting intact fish carcasses.
