[0023] Working principle and effect: first, three grade sizes are set according to the overall size specifications of this batch of abalone, namely small abalone, medium abalone and large abalone, the diameter of the through hole 31 on the screening box 3 is set to the diameter that only allows the small abalone to pass through, and the size range of the medium abalone and the size range of the large abalone are pre-set in the PLC controller; then, the staff puts the abalone into the screening box 3 above the first collecting box 4, the small abalone will directly fall into the first collecting box 4 through the through hole 31 on the screening box 3, while the medium abalone and the large abalone will stay on the screening box 3, and be transported to the bottom of the infrared scanning structure 6 by the conveyor belt 2, when entering the bottom of the infrared scanning structure 6, the infrared scanning structure 6 transmits the data obtained by scanning and measuring to the PLC controller, the PLC controller compares the obtained data with the pre-set data range, if the obtained data falls into the size range of the medium abalone, as Figure 4As shown, the PLC controller controls the cylinder telescopic rod 51 on the left side support plate 5 of the conveyor belt 2 to be telescopic once, thereby driving the push plate 52 to move in the direction close to the screening box 3, and the abalone on the screening box 3 is pushed to the second collection box 7 on the right side of the conveyor belt 2. If the data obtained fall into the size range of large abalone, the PLC controller controls the cylinder telescopic rod 51 on the right side support plate 5 of the conveyor belt 2 to be telescopic once, thereby driving the push plate 52 to move in the direction close to the screening box 3, and the abalone on the screening box 3 is pushed to the third collection box 8 on the left side of the conveyor belt 2; finally, small abalone, medium abalone and large abalone are collected in the first collection box, the second collection box 7 and the third collection box 8 respectively, realizing the rapid screening and classification of abalone, and accurately classified by the infrared scanning structure 6, without the need to manually measure and classify one by one, greatly improving the sorting efficiency of abalone.

Further, a driving motor is provided on the rotating shaft 21, and the driving motor drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate around the bracket 1, thereby driving the transmission belt to rotate, realizing the function of transportation.

[0025] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first collection box 4 is installed on the inner side of one end of the conveyor belt 2 through a mounting frame 41, the mounting frame 41 is an inverted U-shaped structure, the two vertical plates of the mounting frame 41 are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2, the horizontal plate of the mounting frame 41 is located above the lower surface of the conveyor belt 2, and positioning strips 42 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the horizontal plate of the mounting frame 41, and the first collection box 4 is placed between the two positioning strips 42. The first collection box 4 needs to be located below the through hole 31 of the screening box 3, so that the small abalones falling from the through hole 31 can be collected in the box, and the transmission belt is a circular rotation. Therefore, in order to avoid the setting of the first collection box 4 affecting the rotation of the transmission belt, the mounting frame 41 is set to an inverted U-shaped structure, and the horizontal plate is set between the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 2 through two vertical plates, and the first collection box 4 is set on the horizontal plate, so as to realize the small abalones without affecting the rotation and transportation of the conveyor belt 2.

[0026] Furthermore, two positioning strips 42 are provided on the transverse plate of the mounting frame 41, and the first collecting box 4 is placed between the two positioning strips 42. The positioning strips 42 not only play a positioning role but also a fixing role, thereby preventing the first collecting box 4 from falling from both sides of the transverse plate and causing the small abalone in the first collecting box 4 to spill out.
