A lobster sheller

Abstract

This invention discloses a lobster peeler, comprising a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, and a first elastic member. The first clamping arm is provided with a first cutting member, and the second clamping arm is provided with a second cutting member. The first and second cutting members are used to clamp and insert into the inner shells at both ends of the lobster meat. The two ends of the first elastic member are respectively connected to the first and second clamping arms, so that the first and second clamping arms can be elastically opened and closed with the help of external force. The ejection component includes a moving member and a limiting block. The moving member is connected to both the first and second clamping arms and can drive the first and second clamping arms to move backward under the action of external force, so that the back end of the lobster abuts against the limiting block. During the backward movement, the first and second cutting members cut open the lobster shell until they cooperate with the limiting block to push the lobster meat out of the shell, thus completing the peeling. This effectively avoids the fingers being pricked by the lobster's sharp spines when pinching the shell, and also solves the problem of not having long nails or having long manicured nails and therefore finding it inconvenient to peel lobsters.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shrimp peeling equipment technology, specifically to a lobster peeler. Background Technology

[0002] Lobster meat is delicious and nutritious, making it a popular choice. However, its hard shell makes peeling it tedious, requiring the separation of the body from the head before the shell on both sides of the body can be removed to extract the meat. Currently, the common method is to peel lobsters by hand while wearing plastic gloves. However, the hard shell, with its sharp spines, can easily injure fingers, and requires using fingernails to pry it open, which is inconvenient for those with short nails or long manicures. While everyday tools like scissors and chopsticks are used, they are not convenient and require skill. Some professional lobster peelers are large and typically found on factory assembly lines, making them unsuitable for direct user use. Therefore, there is currently a lack of dedicated lobster peelers on the market that would make eating lobster much easier. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a lobster peeler, comprising: The clamping assembly includes a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, and a first elastic member. The first clamping arm is provided with a first cutting member, and the second clamping arm is provided with a second cutting member. The first cutting member and the second cutting member are used to clamp and insert into the inner shells of the left and right ends of the shrimp meat. The two ends of the first elastic member are respectively connected to the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm so that the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm can cooperate with external force to achieve elastic opening and closing. The ejection assembly includes a movable component and a limiting block. The movable component is connected to both the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm and can move the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm backward under the action of external force, so that the back end of the lobster abuts the limiting block. The first cutting component and the second cutting component cut open the lobster shell during the backward movement until they cooperate with the limiting block to push the lobster meat out of the lobster shell, thus completing the peeling process.

[0004] Optionally, the first clamping arm is provided with a first bracket, the second clamping arm is provided with a second bracket, the first bracket is provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are spaced apart to form a first gap, the second bracket is provided with a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion, the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion are spaced apart to form a second gap, and the first elastic element is a tension spring, the two ends of the tension spring are respectively hooked into the first gap and the second gap.

[0005] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a first clamp and a second clamp. The first clamp has a first connecting groove on its side wall, and the second clamp has a second connecting groove on its side wall. The first clamp arm is located in the first connecting groove and is slidably connected to the first connecting groove. The second clamp arm is located in the second connecting groove and is slidably connected to the second connecting groove. The first clamp and the second clamp are rotatably connected. When the ends of the first clamp and the second clamp are pressed, the inner walls of the first connecting groove and the second connecting groove push the first clamp arm and the second clamp arm outward to the left and right sides respectively, so as to release the shrimp.

[0006] Optionally, the first clamp handle is provided with a first abutting part, and the second clamp handle is provided with a second abutting part. The first abutting part and the second abutting part abut against each other to limit the closing distance between the first clamp arm and the second clamp arm. There are two limiting blocks, which are respectively fixed on the first clamp handle and the second clamp handle, and the two limiting blocks are spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0007] Optionally, the assembly also includes a handle. The ejection assembly includes a connecting post and a second elastic member. The connecting post is fixed to the handle. The second elastic member and the movable member are slidably sleeved on the connecting post. The two ends of the second elastic member abut against the handle and the movable member respectively, so as to drive the movable member to reset.

[0008] Optionally, a fixed base is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting column. The fixed base is used to limit the reset distance of the moving part. The first clamp and the second clamp are both rotatably mounted on the fixed base.

[0009] Optionally, the first clamp is provided with a first rotating part with protruding teeth, and the second clamp is provided with a second rotating part with protruding teeth. The first rotating part and the second rotating part are meshed together, and both the first rotating part and the second rotating part are rotatably mounted on the fixed base.

[0010] Optionally, the handle has a cantilever protruding from it, the cantilever has a limiting cavity, the moving part has a connecting arm protruding from it, the connecting arm is inserted into the limiting cavity and slides back and forth in the limiting cavity, the left and right sidewalls of the limiting cavity are used to prevent the connecting arm from swaying left and right, and the front and rear sidewalls of the limiting cavity are used to limit the front and rear displacement distance of the connecting arm.

[0011] Optionally, the device also includes a base mounted on the bottom of the handle for placement on a table.

[0012] Optionally, the first cutting component includes a connecting rod and a plurality of blades disposed on the connecting rod. The connecting rod is mounted on the first clamping arm, and the blades are disposed vertically or obliquely on the connecting rod, with the blades located on the side of the connecting rod close to the limiting block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This application designs a lobster peeler that replaces the action of pinching and pulling the shell outward when peeling lobsters. Fingers no longer need to directly pinch into the lobster shell crevices, effectively avoiding finger injuries from the lobster's sharp spines. It also solves the problem of inconvenient lobster peeling for those with short or long nails. Compared to using scissors, chopsticks, or other makeshift tools, this device is simpler and more convenient to operate, with a more fluid motion, and peels more intact lobster meat. It significantly reduces the skill required, allowing ordinary users to more easily remove whole lobster meat.

[0014] 2. The first elastic element is a tension spring, with both ends hooking directly into the first and second gaps. This hook-and-loop installation structure is extremely simple and also facilitates cleaning, replacement, and maintenance of the device. The tension spring is confined within a fixed gap, ensuring a stable force direction and preventing swaying or shaking, thus making the overall clamping structure more stable.

[0015] 3. When the user pinches the ends of the first and second clamping handles with one hand, the inner wall of the connecting groove pushes the first and second clamping arms outward, creating a space between the first and second cutting components to facilitate placing the lobster and aligning the cutting components with the head and tail of the lobster meat. In actual use, the user holds the lobster in one hand and operates the device with the other, making one-handed pinching simple and convenient. The handle not only makes it easy for the user to grip but also assists in pressing the moving component with one hand. The distance between the moving component and the handle allows an adult to hold and press it with one hand. After peeling the lobster, the user releases the pressure, and the second elastic component pushes the moving component back to its original position using its own elasticity, eliminating the need to manually pull it back with fingers, achieving an automatic reset function that is smoother and more efficient.

[0016] 4. The cutting element consists of several blades arranged vertically or at an angle on the connecting rod. This disperses the cutting resistance, allowing for simultaneous cutting of the shrimp shell from multiple points instead of requiring effort at a single point. The required pushing and pulling force is significantly reduced, making it easy for even those with less strength to operate. All blades face the limiting block, and their cutting direction aligns with the direction in which the shrimp meat is pushed out. While cutting the shell, the shrimp meat is simultaneously pushed towards the meat outlet, achieving a synergistic effect of cutting and pushing the meat. The multiple blade design also allows for more precise control of the cutting depth. The blades can be 0.6-1.2mm in length, preferably 0.8mm or 1mm, preventing deep cuts that could damage the shrimp meat and preserving its integrity to the greatest extent possible.

[0028] The technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments described in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention provide a coordinate system XYZ, wherein the positive direction of the X-axis represents the left, the negative direction of the X-axis represents the right, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front, the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top, and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a lobster peeler, comprising: The clamping assembly includes a first clamping arm 2, a second clamping arm 3, and a first elastic member 1. The first clamping arm 2 is provided with a first cutting member 4, and the second clamping arm 3 is provided with a second cutting member 5. The first cutting member 4 and the second cutting member 5 are used to clamp and insert into the inner shells of the left and right ends of the shrimp meat. The two ends of the first elastic member 1 are respectively connected to the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 so that the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 can be elastically opened and closed by cooperating with external force. The ejection assembly includes a movable component 6 and a limiting block 7. The movable component 6 is connected to the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3, and can drive the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 to move backward under the action of external force, so that the back end of the lobster abuts the limiting block 7. The first cutting component 4 and the second cutting component 5 cut open the shrimp shell during the backward movement until they cooperate with the limiting block 7 to push the shrimp meat out of the shrimp shell, thus completing the peeling of the shrimp.

[0031] Lobsters can be divided into two parts: the upper part is the head, and the lower part is the tail with the meat and tail segment. After the lobster is cooked, the tail will curl up. When using a lobster peeler, first press one end of the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 simultaneously, so that the first cutting piece 4 and the second cutting piece 5 located at the other end can move away from each other, making the clamping assembly open. At this time, with the lobster head facing forward, insert the first cutting piece 4 and the second cutting piece 5 into the head and tail ends of the lobster meat, connecting the head and tail of the lobster meat (the connection between the lobster meat and the lobster head, and the connection between the lobster meat and the tail segment) in a straight line. The first elastic member 1 provides a continuous elastic clamping force, so that the cutting pieces can still firmly clamp the lobster shell without the need for continuous pinching with your fingers.

[0032] Next, the moving part 6 is moved backward by hand, so that the back of the shrimp tail is held in place by the limiting block 7. The moving part 6 drives the first cutting part 4 and the second cutting part 5 to move backward. During the backward movement, the first cutting part 4 and the second cutting part 5 engage with the sharp part of the shrimp tail's inner shell, cutting along the inner edge of the shrimp shell's side wall and smoothly cutting open both sides of the shrimp shell. At the same time, under the reaction force of the limiting block 7, the shrimp meat is pushed forward from the cut shell, completing the peeling process. It is worth noting that after the lobster peeler completes the peeling process, it may not necessarily obtain a completely shell-free piece of shrimp meat. At this time, the whitish, soft shell that curls inward from the shrimp tail may be attached to the shrimp meat and needs to be peeled off manually, or the shrimp meat can be picked up and peeled off by biting it with the mouth.

[0033] This application designs a lobster peeler that replaces the traditional method of pinching and pulling the shell outwards when peeling lobsters. It eliminates the need for fingers to directly pinch into the shell's crevices, effectively preventing finger injuries from the lobster's sharp spines. It also solves the problem of inconvenient peeling for those with short or long nails. Compared to using scissors, chopsticks, or other makeshift tools, this device is simpler and more convenient to operate, allowing for smoother movements and more complete removal of lobster meat. It significantly reduces the skill required, making it easier for ordinary users to extract whole lobster meat.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the first clamping arm 2 is provided with a first bracket 21, and the second clamping arm 3 is provided with a second bracket 31. The first bracket 21 is provided with a first protrusion 211 and a second protrusion 212, which are spaced apart to form a first gap 213. The second bracket 31 is provided with a third protrusion 311 and a fourth protrusion 312, which are spaced apart to form a second gap 313. The first elastic element 1 is a tension spring, and the two ends of the tension spring are respectively hooked into the first gap 213 and the second gap 313.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 31 are perpendicular to the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3, respectively. The first protrusion 211 and the second protrusion 212 both protrude along the left side, while the third protrusion 311 and the fourth protrusion 312 both protrude along the right side. There are two first elastic elements 1, respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 31. Two first gaps 213 and two second gaps 313 are distributed vertically to accommodate the two first elastic elements 1, i.e., two tension springs. The two ends of the tension springs directly hook into the first gaps 213 and the second gaps 313. This hook-and-loop installation structure is extremely simple and also facilitates cleaning, replacement, and maintenance of the device. The tension springs are confined within fixed gaps, ensuring stable force application and preventing swaying or shaking, thus making the overall clamping structure more stable.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, optionally, the clamping assembly includes a first clamping handle 8 and a second clamping handle 9. The first clamping handle 8 has a first connecting groove 81 on its side wall, and the second clamping handle 9 has a second connecting groove 91 on its side wall. The first clamping arm 2 is limited in the first connecting groove 81 and is slidably connected to the first connecting groove 81. The second clamping arm 3 is limited in the second connecting groove 91 and is slidably connected to the second connecting groove 91. The first clamping handle 8 and the second clamping handle 9 are rotatably connected. When the ends of the first clamp handle 8 and the second clamp handle 9 are pressed, the inner walls of the first connecting groove 81 and the second connecting groove 91 push the first clamp arm 2 and the second clamp arm 3 outward to the left and right sides respectively, so as to release the shrimp.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first clamping handle 8 is provided with a first clearance cavity communicating with the first connecting groove 81, and the second clamping handle 9 is provided with a second clearance cavity communicating with the second connecting groove 91. The first clearance cavity is used to avoid the forward and backward sliding of the moving part 6 and the first clamping arm 2, and the second clearance cavity is used to avoid the forward and backward sliding of the moving part 6 and the second clamping arm 3. The first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the moving part 6.

[0038] When the user squeezes the tail ends of the first clamp handle 8 and the second clamp handle 9 with one hand, the inner wall of the connecting groove will push the first clamp arm 2 and the second clamp arm 3 outward, creating a space between the first cutting piece 4 and the second cutting piece 5 to facilitate placing the lobster and also to make it easier for the cutting pieces to align with the head and tail of the lobster meat. In actual use, the user holds the lobster in one hand and operates the device with the other, making it simple and convenient to squeeze with one hand.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the first clamp handle 8 is provided with a first abutting part 82, and the second clamp handle 9 is provided with a second abutting part 92. The first abutting part 82 and the second abutting part 92 abut against each other to limit the closing distance of the first clamp arm 2 and the second clamp arm 3. There are two limiting blocks 7, which are respectively fixed on the first clamp handle 8 and the second clamp handle 9. The two limiting blocks 7 are distributed at intervals in the vertical direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the first abutting part 82 and the second abutting part 92 abut against each other, the minimum distance between the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 and closing inward is limited. This sets a physical stop point for the depth at which the first cutting piece 4 and the second cutting piece 5 are inserted into the shrimp shell, preventing the cutting piece from cutting too deeply and severing the shrimp meat due to excessive force. The two limiting blocks 7 are distributed at intervals in the vertical direction, which can conform to the arc contour of the shrimp tail's back and support the shrimp tail from both the top and bottom. This ensures that the shrimp meat is evenly stressed during the ejection process, making it easier to detach as a whole and less likely to break into pieces, resulting in a more intact and aesthetically pleasing product.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, it also includes a handle 10. The ejection assembly includes a connecting post 11 and a second elastic member 12. The connecting post 11 is fixed to the handle 10. The second elastic member 12 and the moving member 6 are both slidably sleeved on the connecting post 11. The two ends of the second elastic member 12 abut against the handle 10 and the moving member 6 respectively, so as to drive the moving member 6 to reset.

[0042] In this embodiment, the handle 10 not only makes it easier for the user to hold, but also helps to press the movable part 6 with one hand. The distance between the movable part 6 and the handle 10 is sufficient for an adult to hold and press with one hand. After pressing to peel the shrimp, the user releases the pressure, and the second elastic element 12 will push the movable part 6 back to its original position through its own elasticity. There is no need to manually pull it back with your fingers, realizing an automatic reset function that is smoother and more efficient.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, optionally, one end of the connecting column 11 is fixedly connected to a fixing seat 13, the fixing seat 13 is used to limit the reset distance of the moving part 6, and the first clamp 8 and the second clamp 9 are both rotatably mounted on the fixing seat 13.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fixed seat 13 at the end of the connecting column 11 integrates two functions: first, it serves as a front limit for the reset of the moving part 6, preventing the moving part 6 from moving too far forward and dislodging from the connecting column 11, thus ensuring reliable overall operation; second, it serves as a common rotation fulcrum for the first clamp 8 and the second clamp 9, allowing the two clamps to rotate around the same fixed seat 13, thus ensuring the symmetry and stability of the opening and closing action.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the first clamp 8 is provided with a first rotating part 83 with protruding teeth, and the second clamp 9 is provided with a second rotating part 93 with protruding teeth. The first rotating part 83 and the second rotating part 93 are meshed and connected, and both the first rotating part 83 and the second rotating part 93 are rotatably mounted on the fixed base 13.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first rotating part 83 and the second rotating part 93 are linked by meshing teeth, ensuring that the movements of the two clamping handles are strictly synchronized and opposite. Regardless of the force applied to either clamping handle, the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 can always open or close equidistantly and centrally. This synchronization ensures that when the first cutting piece 4 and the second cutting piece 5 are aligned with the inner shell of the shrimp tail, the insertion depth and cutting depth are consistent from left to right, avoiding the problem of one side failing to cut the shell while the other side cuts the shrimp meat due to lateral deviation of the clamping arms. This increases the completeness of shelling and the integrity of the shrimp meat, making the operation more controllable and the results more consistent.

[0047] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, optionally, the handle 10 has a cantilever 101 protruding from it, the cantilever 101 has a limiting cavity 102, the moving member 6 has a connecting arm 61 protruding from it, the connecting arm 61 is inserted into the limiting cavity 102 and slides back and forth in the limiting cavity 102, the left and right sidewalls of the limiting cavity 102 are used to prevent the connecting arm 61 from swaying left and right, and the front and rear sidewalls of the limiting cavity 102 are used to limit the front and rear displacement distance of the connecting arm 61.

[0048] In this embodiment, there are two connecting arms 61, which protrude from the upper and lower ends of the movable member 6, respectively. The two connecting arms 61 provide a gripping area for the hand to press the movable member 6. The upper connecting arm 61 is slidably connected to the limiting cavity 102, which is through in the vertical direction. The left and right inner walls of the limiting cavity 102 can effectively restrain the left and right swaying of the upper connecting arm 61 during the sliding process, thereby preventing the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 from lateral swaying when the whole moves backward. The cutting path is straight, the shrimp shell is cut neatly, and it is not easy to produce broken shells. The front and rear side walls of the limiting cavity 102 limit the maximum forward and backward travel of the movable member 6. Together with the handle 10 and the fixing seat 13, the movable member 6 is limited forward and backward, ensuring that the backward movement distance of the cutting piece is sufficient to cut the shrimp shell and push out the shrimp meat, while preventing excessive rebound.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, it also includes a base 14, which is mounted on the bottom of the handle 10 so as to be placed on a table.

[0050] In this embodiment, after adding a base 14 to the bottom of the handle 10, the entire lobster peeler can stand upright and stably on the dining table like a tabletop ornament. Users do not need to hold the device continuously during meals, and it is convenient to use after being placed on the table. It is also convenient for people at the table to share and use, avoiding the device from rolling and getting dirty on greasy tabletops, and making it easy to maintain hygiene. At the same time, the lobster peeler can also be used upright on the table, reducing the weight of holding it.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, optionally, the first cutting member 4 includes a connecting rod 41 and a plurality of blades 42 disposed on the connecting rod 41. The connecting rod 41 is mounted on the first clamping arm 2, and the blades 42 are disposed vertically or obliquely on the connecting rod 41. The blades 42 are located on the side of the connecting rod 41 near the limiting block 7.

[0052] In this embodiment, a number of blades 42 arranged vertically or obliquely on the connecting rod 41 constitute the cutting element, which disperses the cutting resistance, allowing the shrimp shell to be cut simultaneously from multiple points instead of requiring single-point effort. The required pushing and pulling force is significantly reduced, making it easy for diners with less strength to operate. The blades 42 are all oriented towards the limiting block 7, and their cutting direction is consistent with the direction in which the shrimp meat is pushed out. While cutting the shell, they also push the shrimp meat towards the meat outlet, achieving a synergistic effect of cutting and pushing the meat. The blades 42 are triangular and toothed, and the number of blades 42 can be evenly distributed along a straight line. The design of multiple blades 42 also allows for more accurate control of the cutting depth. The blades 42 can be 0.6-1.2mm in length, preferably 0.8mm or 1mm, which can avoid deep cutting into the shrimp meat and causing damage to the meat quality, thus preserving the integrity of the shrimp meat to the greatest extent.

[0053] like Figure 9 As shown, in another embodiment, the blades 42 may also have a gap after being evenly arranged on the connecting rods 41, i.e., a bladeless area. Specifically, because the shrimp tail curls into an arc shape after cooking, the blades 42 are easily obstructed by collisions when being inserted. The bladeless area helps to avoid part of the shell, allowing the remaining bladed area to be inserted into the inside of the shrimp shell. This makes the insertion operation smoother without affecting the success of peeling, and prevents the blades 42 from colliding in the middle of the arc shape, making it difficult to be inserted into the inside. The bladeless area may occupy one-third, one-fifth, or one-seventh of the connecting rods 41, etc., and can be adjusted according to the actual application conditions such as the size and variety of different lobsters. No limitation is made here.

[0054] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not by the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0055] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
