Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shellfish sorting devices, specifically to a shellfish sorting and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Shellfish are a category of marine organisms, generally referring to molluscs with hard shells. When edible shellfish are transported to the processing workshop for processing, due to individual differences among different species, they usually need to be sorted to ensure that the shellfish in the same batch have a more uniform appearance. During the sorting process, corresponding conveying devices are usually used to facilitate the transport of shellfish.

[0003] However, traditional shellfish sorting mainly relies on manual labor, which involves visual inspection or the use of measuring tools. Manual sorting is not only labor-intensive but also relatively inefficient, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. Therefore, we propose a shellfish sorting and conveying device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shellfish sorting and conveying device to address the deficiencies mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A shellfish sorting and conveying device includes an upper frame. Two symmetrical first rotating shafts are rotatably connected between the front and rear side plates of the upper frame. The two first rotating shafts are connected by a first conveyor belt. A first drive motor is coaxially mounted at the end of one of the first rotating shafts. A lower frame is located at the front of the upper frame. A rectangular hole is provided on the bottom wall of the lower frame. Multiple conical rollers arranged linearly and equally spaced are fixedly installed between the left and right side walls of the rectangular hole. A material drop gap is provided between each pair of adjacent conical rollers. A stepped inclined surface is provided between the lower frame and the upper frame. Two symmetrical second rotating shafts are rotatably connected between the front and rear side plates of the lower frame. Multiple second conveyor belts arranged linearly and equally spaced are sleeved on the two second rotating shafts. Multiple pusher plates arranged equally spaced are fixedly installed on the surface of the second conveyor belts. The pusher plates are located at the corresponding material drop gaps and are slidably connected to the material drop gaps. A second drive motor is coaxially mounted at the end of one of the second rotating shafts.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the first conveyor belt extends to the stepped inclined surface, the bottom end of the stepped inclined surface extends to the rectangular hole, and the stepped inclined surface is inclined downward at 45° to 60°.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a shellfish sorting and conveying device, including an upper frame 1, with two symmetrical first rotating shafts 11 rotatably connected between the front and rear side plates of the upper frame 1, and the two first rotating shafts 11 connected by a first conveyor belt 12, and a first drive motor 13 coaxially arranged at the end of one of the first rotating shafts 11, and the first conveyor belt 12 is used for conveying shellfish.

[0029] Specifically, a lower frame 2 is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper frame 1. A rectangular hole 20 is provided on the bottom wall of the lower frame 2. Multiple conical rollers 21 arranged linearly and at equal intervals are fixedly installed between the left and right side walls of the rectangular hole 20. The conical rollers 21 are arranged along the length direction of the rectangular hole 20. A material drop gap 22 is provided between two adjacent conical rollers 21 for the dropping operation of shellfish. A stepped inclined surface 3 is provided between the lower frame 2 and the upper frame 1. The end of the first conveyor belt 12 extends to the stepped inclined surface 3. The bottom end of the stepped inclined surface 3 extends to the rectangular hole 20. The stepped inclined surface 3 is inclined downward at 45° to 60° to make it easier for shellfish to fall from the first conveyor belt 12 to the conical rollers 21.

[0030] Specifically, two symmetrical second rotating shafts 5 are rotatably connected between the front and rear side plates of the lower frame 2. Multiple second conveyor belts 51 arranged linearly and at equal intervals are sleeved on the two second rotating shafts 5. Multiple pusher plates 52 arranged at equal intervals are fixedly installed on the surface of the second conveyor belts 51. The pusher plates 52 are located at the corresponding drop gaps 22 and are slidably connected to the drop gaps 22. A second drive motor 50 is coaxially installed at the end of one of the second rotating shafts 5. The second conveyor belts 51 are rotated to drive the pusher plates 52 to move at the drop gaps 22, thereby pushing the shellfish at the drop gaps 22 forward and pushing the shellfish to the corresponding width of the drop gap 22 to fall, thus completing the sorting operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the conical roller 21 has a long frustum-shaped structure, and the width of the material drop gap 22 increases sequentially from back to front, so as to realize the sorting operation from back to front.

[0032] Specifically, the first drive motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the upper frame 1 by multiple fastening bolts, and the second drive motor 50 is fixedly mounted on the lower frame 2 by multiple fastening bolts, which facilitates the fixed installation operation.

[0033] Furthermore, a water baffle 10 is fixedly installed between the front and rear plates on the left end of the upper frame 1. The height of the water baffle 10 is between 5cm and 10cm. The water baffle 10 can prevent water from flowing out from the left end of the upper frame 1. The plane of the bottom wall of the upper frame 1 is set to be inclined downward at 10° to 30° towards the stepped slope 3, so that the water on the upper frame 1 flows more smoothly towards the rectangular hole 20.

[0034] In addition, support legs 4 are fixedly installed on the bottom surfaces of the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2 to achieve stable support operation using the support legs 4; a base plate 40 is fixedly installed between multiple support legs 4, and multiple containers 41 are placed on the base plate 40. The containers 41 are located below the material drop gap 22 to achieve container operation of shellfish using the containers 41.

[0035] It is worth noting that handles 42 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the container 41, and the distance between the top surface of the container 41 and the conical roller 21 is less than 5cm, making it easier for the shellfish to fall into the container 41.

[0036] In use, the shellfish sorting and conveying device of this utility model first divides the material drop gap 22 into corresponding sections. Multiple containers 41 are then placed sequentially and closely against the base plate 40, with the containers 41 positioned below their respective material drop gaps 22. As the shellfish are poured onto the first conveyor belt 12, the first drive motor 13 is connected to an external power source and put into operation. The first drive motor 13 operates, and its output shaft rotates, driving the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 11 then drives the first conveyor belt 12 to rotate, thus realizing the sorting and conveying of the shellfish. In the conveying operation, the conveyed shellfish can fall down the inclined surface 3 of the steps to the conical roller 21. At this time, the second drive motor 50 is connected to the external power supply and made to work. The output shaft of the second drive motor 50 rotates, driving the second rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the second conveyor belt 51 and the pusher plate 52 to rotate. The pusher plate 52 moves in the dropping gap 22, pushing the shellfish at the rear end of the dropping gap 22 forward, pushing the shellfish to the corresponding width part of the dropping gap 22 to fall, thus completing the sorting operation.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
