Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shell sorting, in particular to a shell sorting device. Background Art

[0002] Shellfish are filter feeders, surviving by inhaling seawater and filtering out food particles. This feeding method requires them to constantly open and close their shells to take in more seawater for filtration. In this process, sand and other impurities may also be taken in. Although most sand is excreted, some will remain inside the shell.

[0003] In the existing technology, during the processing of shellfish products, a large amount of mud and sand remains inside, which affects the quality and appearance of the products. The mud and sand not only reduces the purity of the products, but also interferes with subsequent processing, such as clogging the machine. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The other end of the top of the support frame 2 is fixedly connected to a second infrared light source 18 located above the reflective prism 17, and the other end of the support frame 2 is provided with a feeding mechanism for classifying shells.

[0024] After the support frame 2 transports the shellfish, the photoelectric sensor 19 monitors the transport status of the shells, and the first infrared camera 12 works and cooperates with the first infrared light source 13 to provide light source, so that the shellfish can be detected from above. After the second infrared camera 16 works, the refraction of the reflecting prism 17 is utilized and the second infrared light source 18 works to provide light source, so that the shellfish can be detected from below.

[0025] It is better to detect whether there is mud and sand inside the shellfish, select and remove the shellfish containing a lot of mud and sand, and ensure that the processed products are pure and free of impurities.

[0026] Distinguishing between shellfish containing sediment and those without sediment can allocate resources more reasonably to different processing links or products, improve resource utilization efficiency, reduce waste and loss, and facilitate subsequent shellfish processing operations.

[0027] Both sides of one end of the top of the support frame 2 are laterally fixedly connected with a conveying channel 9 , and the surface of the conveying channel 9 is provided with an opening 20 adapted to the through-beam photoelectric sensor 19 .

[0028] The conveying channel 9 is convenient for limiting the position of the shellfish conveyed on the surface of the transparent conveyor belt 3, thereby improving the stability of the shellfish during the conveying process.

[0029] The feeding mechanism includes an elastic support rod 8, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the support frame 2. The top of the elastic support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the lower hopper 6, and the surface of the lower hopper 6 is fixedly connected to the vibration motor 7.

[0030] The discharge hopper 6 facilitates the guided transportation of shellfish. After the vibration motor 7 is working, it can drive the discharge hopper 6 to vibrate through the support of the elastic support rod 8 to avoid blockage during the discharge of shellfish.

[0031] One end of the top of the support frame 2 is fixedly connected to a material receiving plate 4 , and the upper surface of the material receiving plate 4 is fixedly connected to a guide channel 5 adapted to the lower hopper 6 .

[0032] The receiving plate 4 receives the shellfish discharged from the discharge hopper 6, guides and transports the shellfish through the guide channel 5, and transports the shellfish to the surface of the transparent conveyor belt 3 for subsequent inspection.

[0033] The device can be provided with two groups, and the discharge hopper 6 can be provided with a two-way discharge channel to facilitate the simultaneous delivery of shellfish to the surfaces of the receiving plates 4 on the two groups of devices.

[0037] The guide plate 23 receives the shellfish after being unloaded from the transparent conveyor belt 3, and guides it through the second conveyor plate 25, and discharges the qualified shellfish through one channel of the dual-channel guide bucket 21. When the shellfish is detected to be unqualified, the drive motor 22 drives the guide plate 23 to rotate, changes the inclination angle, and then guides the shellfish to the corresponding position of the first conveyor plate 24, and conveys the unqualified shellfish to the other channel of the dual-channel guide bucket 21 through the first conveyor plate 24 for discharge, thereby completing the sorting of the shellfish.

[0038] A collection box can be provided under both channels of the dual-channel guide bucket 21 to facilitate the classification and collection of shellfish for subsequent processing.

[0039] The support frame 2 is provided with a blowing component 26 for blowing air to the surface of the reflecting prism 17 , and the support frame 2 is provided with a cleaning component 27 for cleaning the surface of the transparent conveyor belt 3 . The blowing component 26 can prevent water vapor from being generated on the surface of the reflecting prism 17 .

[0040] During operation, after the support frame 2 transports the shellfish, the photoelectric sensor 19 monitors the transport status of the shells, and the first infrared camera 12 works and cooperates with the first infrared light source 13 to provide light source, so that the shellfish can be detected from above. Then, after the second infrared camera 16 works, it utilizes the refraction of the reflecting prism 17 and cooperates with the second infrared light source 18 to provide light source, so that the shellfish can be detected from below, and whether the shellfish contains mud and sand inside can be better detected, and the shellfish containing a large amount of mud and sand inside can be selected and removed to ensure that the processed products are pure and free of impurities. By distinguishing between shellfish containing mud and sand and shellfish without mud and sand, resources can be more reasonably allocated to different processing links or products, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.
