Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cocoon stripping device. Background Art

[0002] The existing cocoon picking mainly focuses on the square lattice frame. That is, the platform for the cocoon worms to make cocoons is made into a disk shape, with many small squares in the disk. The cocoon worms spin cocoons in these small squares. After the cocoons are made, they are picked out one by one from the small squares manually, which is very time-consuming and laborious, and the labor efficiency is very low. With the continuous progress and application of technology, some domestic enterprises and institutions have started to develop automated cocoon breeding equipment. However, during the use process, due to the problem of adhesion of the cocoon floss of fresh cocoons and the differences in the size and shape of fresh cocoons, the current cutting device has a high pupal injury rate and the efficiency has not been improved. Therefore, in some areas, sericulturists use thin light boards or plastic grid bodies with a thickness of 1-2 mm to replace the original square lattice frame as the clustering device. The cocoons are made on the surface of the grid, and the efficiency of picking cocoons has naturally increased a lot. However, it still relies on manual operation after all, with a large labor intensity, and the work efficiency is still not satisfactory. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can replace manual operation to improve the work efficiency of picking cocoons. Summary of the Invention
