There is a spring 15, a collecting hopper 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding port 2, a limiting plate 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the collecting hopper 16, a slot 18 is provided on the surface of the limiting plate 17, a hinge 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting plate 17, a protective cover 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the hinge 19, a clamping plate 21 is fixedly installed on the surface of the protective cover 20, a clamping block 22 is fixedly installed on the back of the clamping plate 21, and a handle 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover 20. By arranging the collecting hopper 16, the limiting plate 17, the slot 18, the hinge 19, the slide bar 14, the clamping plate 21, the clamping block 22 and the handle 23, a better use effect is achieved. When in use, the earthworms are first poured into the interior of the housing 1 through the feeding port 2, and then the handle 23 is held and pulled to the right to make the protective cover 20 pass The hinge 19 rotates to the right at the top of the limit plate 17, and at this time the protective cover 20 drives the card plate 21 and the card block 22 to slide downward at the bottom of the limit plate 17. When the card block 22 slides into the inside of the card slot 18, it can be done, and at this time the bottom end of the protective cover 20 is tightly fitted to the top of the limit plate 17, thereby avoiding the situation that the earthworms crawl out through the feed port 2 during use because the top of the feed port 2 is not designed with a protective structure like the existing separation device. The rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the shell 1, and the protrusions 8 are evenly distributed on the top of the rotating plate 7. The protrusions 8 are rotatably connected to the shell 1, which makes it easier for the rotating plate 7 and the protrusions 8 to rotate, preventing the rotating plate 7 and the protrusions 8 from being stuck by the shell 1 during use, causing the rotating plate 7 and the protrusions 8 to be unable to continue.

The end of the spring 15 away from the slider 11 is fixedly installed inside the slide groove 9, and the spring 15 is slidably connected to the slide bar 14, and the spring 15 is slidably connected to the housing 1, which makes it easier for the spring 15 to slide, and avoids the spring 15 being stuck by the housing 1 or the slide bar 14 during use, which causes the spring 15 to be unable to slide further.The hinges 19 are symmetrically distributed at the front and rear ends of the top of the limit plate 17, the protective cover 20 is rotatably connected to the limit plate 17, the card plate 21 is symmetrically distributed at the front and rear ends of the protective cover 20, the card plate 21 is rotatably connected to the limit plate 17, the card block 22 is slidably connected to the card slot 18, and the card block 22 is slidably connected to the limit plate 17, which makes it easier for the card plate 21 and the card block 22 to slide, and avoids the situation where the card plate 21 and the card block 22 are stuck by the limit plate 17 during use, causing the card plate 21 and the card block 22 to be unable to continue sliding.
[0027] Embodiment 2
[0028] See also Figure 1-3 7. The top of the side block 5 is fixedly installed with a limiting groove 24, and the limiting block 25 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 24. The top of the limiting block 25 is fixedly installed with a cover plate 26 to better protect the motor 6. Before use, pinch the cover plate 26 and push it toward the shell 1, so that the cover plate 26 slides toward the shell 1 at the top of the side block 5 through the limiting block 25 and the limiting groove 24. At this time, the limiting block 25 slides inside the side block 5 through the limiting groove 24. When the back of the cover plate 26 contacts the surface of the shell 1, The limit blocks 25 are symmetrically distributed at the left and right ends of the bottom end of the cover plate 26. The limit blocks 25 are slidably connected to the side blocks 5, and the cover plate 26 is slidably connected to the side blocks 5, which makes it easier for the limit blocks 25 to slide, thus preventing the limit blocks 25 from being stuck by the side blocks 5 during use and being unable to continue sliding.
[0029] Working principle: When in use, first place the shell 1 at the required position, and start the motor 6 at the top of the side block 5 to make the rotating plate 7 drive the protrusion 8 to rotate inside the shell 1, and drive the mounting plate 12 to shake, so that the mounting plate 12 drives the filter screen 13 to slide up and down inside the shell 1, and at this time the slider 11 slides up and down inside the shell 1 through the slide groove 9, and the slide bar 14 slides up and down inside the shell 1 through the slide groove 10, and at this time slides on the top of the spring 15, so as to achieve a better use effect, and then pour the earthworms into the inside of the shell 1 through the feed port 2. At this time, the collecting hopper 16 can prevent the earthworms from sliding off the outside of the feed port 2, and then hold the handle 23 and pull it to the right, so that the protective cover 20 passes through the hinge 19 to the right at the top of the limit plate 17. When the retaining plate 21 is pulled sideways, the protective cover 20 drives the card plate 21 and the card block 22 to rotate toward the limit plate 17. When the card block 22 slides into the card slot 18, the bottom end of the protective cover 20 contacts the top end of the limit plate 17, thereby preventing the earthworms from crawling out of the feed port 2 during use. The earthworms falling into the shell 1 will flow out of the shell 1 through the filter screen 13 and the discharge port 3, and then flow out through the guide plate 4 for collection by the staff. After long-term use, the staff can pinch the cover 26 and pull it backwards to make the limit block 25 slide on the top end of the side block 5 through the limit slot 24. When the surface of the limit block 25 contacts the inner wall of the side block 5, the cover 26 is fully opened, which makes it more convenient for the staff to maintain the motor 6.
