In response to the low success rate of shrimp back-opening, the high injury rate of shrimp, and incomplete exposure of shrimp veins caused by fixed-distance shrimp back-splitting devices, the present study develops an adaptive open-back technology. By measuring and fitting to analyze the distribution pattern of shrimp lines, real-time detection technology for outer contours and adaptive post-splitting control models for shrimp are studied. Hardware and visualization software is developed, and an adaptive post-splitting depth control system based on a turntable is integrated to achieve adaptive pre-splitting control for shrimp. The system consists of a shrimp external contour detection mechanism, a back-splitting actuator, and a control system, which can achieve adaptive back-splitting according to the distribution position of shrimp veins and count the number of back-splitting shrimp. The results showed that the success rate of exposing the first six segments of the shrimp vein reached 91.7% on the shrimp dorsal splitting device when the rotary speed was 20 r/min. During the test, the proposed shrimp adaptive back-opening device can solve the problems of shrimp body damage and incomplete exposure of shrimp veins during back-splitting caused by fixed-distance back-opening devices. The present study can lay a foundation for the research on the automated and mechanized device to open the back of the shrimp body.
