Description

Technical field:

[0002] The utility model relates to an oyster shelling device. Background technology:

[0004] China is the world's largest producer of oysters and a major importer and exporter. In terms of oyster production, China's oyster production accounted for 83.29% of the world's total in 2017, reaching 5.1398 million tons in 2018, and reached a new high of 5.2256 million tons in 2019, accounting for 38.51% of the world's total production. China's oyster production is mainly concentrated in Fujian, Guangdong, Shandong, Guangxi and Liaoning. Currently, oysters farmed in Fujian Province are large in scale and high in output, and 90% of their products need to be shelled and sold. However, the existing key oyster processing process, shelling and peeling, is mainly based on the production method of rough processing workshops, and the processing equipment lacks mechanization. These factors have seriously restricted the key factors in the development of the oyster industry.

[0005] A Chinese patent application titled "A Semi-Automatic Oyster Shelling Line," with publication number CN215501139U, has been retrieved. The patent comprises a platform, a feeding device, a conveyor belt, a shell prying device, and a collection device mounted on the platform. The feeding device is located at the feed end of the conveyor belt, and the shell prying device and collection device are spaced apart in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. The shell prying device comprises a base, a pedal, a spring, a rope, a shell opening arm, and a spoon-shaped cutter. The base is mounted on the platform, the shell opening arm is S-shaped, the lower end of the shell opening arm is hinged to the base, and the lower end of the shell opening arm is connected to the spoon-shaped cutter. The pedal is fixed to the ground via anchor bolts, the spring is located at the downward pressure point of the pedal, and the rope connects the pedal to the upper end of the shell opening arm. This semi-automatic oyster shelling line has a novel structure, is easy to operate, saves manpower, and improves shelling efficiency. However, the device cannot effectively mechanically open the shells, and manual prying is still required, which is labor-intensive. Summary of the invention:
