Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crab sorting technology, specifically to crab sorting troughs. Background Technology
[0002] Crabs are freshwater creatures that breed in rivers. Their meat is quite delicious, which has led to an increase in their consumption. Crab sorting troughs are part of a device or apparatus used for sorting crabs. They are usually located on a sorting line and are used to temporarily store, transport, and sort crabs of different sizes or qualities.
[0003] Currently, sorting troughs can temporarily store crabs during the sorting process to facilitate worker sorting. Manual sorting mainly involves workers visually observing and manually separating crabs of different sizes or qualities into different containers next to the sorting trough. However, since the crabs are generally unevenly distributed after being poured into the sorting trough, workers at different positions in the trough can sort different quantities of crabs. This requires workers to adjust their positions after sorting the nearest crabs to sort the remaining crabs. This sorting process is very inconvenient for manual sorting. In addition, since crabs are usually covered with mud, they need to be manually cleaned after sorting, which greatly increases the amount of manual labor. In view of this, this utility model proposes a crab sorting trough. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention proposes a crab sorting trough, which solves the problem of cumbersome sorting in the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a crab sorting trough, including a support frame, a sorting trough fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a discharge pipe communicating with the inside of the sorting trough fixedly connected to both ends of the sorting trough, a rotating disk rotatably connected to both ends of the inner side of the sorting trough, a plurality of levers for moving and conveying crabs fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two rotating disks, the plurality of levers being distributed at equal angles around the rotating disks, a driving component for driving the two rotating disks to rotate at the bottom of the sorting trough, and a cleaning component for cleaning crabs by cooperating with the rotation of the rotating disks at the top of the two rotating disks.
[0006] Preferably, both outlet pipes are provided with baffles, each baffle including a baffle plate, the top of the baffle plate being fixedly connected to a hanging plate, the hanging plate being hung on the inner wall of the sorting trough, and a handle being fixedly connected to one side of the hanging plate.
[0007] Preferably, the vertical cross-section of the hanging plate is L-shaped, and the horizontal section of the hanging plate is fixedly connected to the baffle.
[0008] Preferably, the driving component includes two hollow shafts that pass through the sorting groove. The top ends of the two hollow shafts are fixedly connected to two rotating disks, and the bottom ends of the two hollow shafts are fixedly connected to a transmission pulley. The two transmission pulleys are connected by a belt drive.
[0009] Preferably, the driving component further includes a first gear, which is fixedly connected to one of the hollow shafts. A motor is fixedly installed at one end of the bottom of the sorting groove, and a second gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The second gear meshes with the first gear.
[0010] Preferably, the cleaning component includes two water guide pipes, which respectively pass through two hollow shafts and extend above the hollow shafts. Both water guide pipes are rotatably connected to the rotating disk. A water pump is fixedly installed at one end of the inner side of the support frame. The inlet ends of both water guide pipes are connected to the outlet ends of the water pump. A spray pipe is fixedly connected to the top of both water guide pipes, and a nozzle is fixedly connected to the top of both spray pipes.
[0011] Preferably, the inlet end of the water pump is connected to the water tank via a conduit.
[0012] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During sorting, the two rotating disks are rotated by activating the drive unit, which causes the levers on the two rotating disks to rotate circumferentially. This causes the levers to evenly distribute the crabs inside the sorting trough to different positions in the sorting trough. This allows sorting personnel standing at different positions in the sorting trough to sort the crabs without adjusting their positions, greatly improving sorting efficiency. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating disks causes the cleaning unit to clean the crabs, which can clean the mud off the crabs and reduce the amount of manual labor required afterward.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes a crab sorting trough, including a support frame 1. A sorting trough 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. Both ends of the sorting trough 2 are fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 3 that communicates with the interior of the sorting trough 2. Both ends of the inner side of the sorting trough 2 are rotatably connected to a rotating disk 5. Several levers 6 for moving and conveying crabs are fixedly connected to the outer side of the two rotating disks 5. The levers 6 are distributed at equal angles around the rotating disks 5. A driving component 7 for driving the two rotating disks 5 to rotate is provided at the bottom of the sorting trough 2. A cleaning component 8 is provided at the top of the two rotating disks 5 to clean the crabs by cooperating with the rotation of the rotating disks 5.
[0022] During sorting, the drive unit 7 is activated to rotate the two rotating disks 5, which in turn causes the levers 6 on the two rotating disks 5 to rotate circumferentially. This causes the levers 6 to evenly distribute the crabs inside the sorting trough 2 to different positions in the sorting trough 2. This allows sorting personnel standing at different positions in the sorting trough 2 to sort the crabs without having to adjust their positions, which greatly improves sorting efficiency. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating disks 5 causes the cleaning unit 8 to clean the crabs, which can clean the mud off the crabs and reduce the amount of manual labor required afterward.
[0023] Furthermore, both discharge pipes 3 are equipped with baffles 4 at their openings. Each baffle 4 includes a baffle plate 41, with a hanging plate 42 fixedly connected to its top. The hanging plate 42 is attached to the inner wall of the sorting trough 2. A handle 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the hanging plate 42. The vertical section of the hanging plate 42 is L-shaped, and its horizontal section is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 41. By attaching the hanging plate 42 to the inner wall of the sorting trough 2, the baffle plate 41 can block the openings of the discharge pipes 3, preventing crabs from crawling out. After sorting, removing the baffle plate 41 allows the discharge pipes 3 to drain the water and sludge from inside the sorting trough 2.
[0024] Furthermore, the drive unit 7 includes two hollow shafts 71 that penetrate the sorting groove 2. The top ends of the two hollow shafts 71 are fixedly connected to two rotating disks 5 respectively. The bottom ends of the two hollow shafts 71 are fixedly connected to transmission pulleys 72. The two transmission pulleys 72 are connected to each other by belt drive. A first gear 73 is fixedly connected to one of the hollow shafts 71. A motor 74 is fixedly installed at one end of the bottom of the sorting groove 2. The output shaft of the motor 74 is fixedly connected to a second gear 75. The second gear 75 meshes with the first gear 73.
[0025] By starting the motor 74, the second gear 75 rotates, which in turn causes the first gear 73 to drive the corresponding transmission pulley 72 to rotate. This causes the two transmission pulleys 72 to drive the two rotating disks 5 to rotate synchronously, causing the levers 6 on the two rotating disks 5 to rotate circumferentially. This allows the levers 6 to evenly distribute the crabs inside the sorting trough 2 to different positions in the sorting trough 2. This allows sorting personnel standing at different positions in the sorting trough 2 to sort the crabs without having to adjust their positions, greatly improving sorting efficiency.
[0026] Furthermore, the cleaning component 8 includes two water guide pipes 81, which pass through two hollow shafts 71 and extend above them. Both water guide pipes 81 are rotatably connected to the rotating disk 5. A water pump 84 is fixedly installed at one end of the inner side of the support frame 1. The inlet ends of both water guide pipes 81 are connected to the outlet ends of the water pump 84. Spray pipes 82 are fixedly connected to the top of both water guide pipes 81, and nozzles 83 are fixedly connected to the top of both spray pipes 82. The inlet end of the water pump 84 is connected to the water tank through a conduit. Water from the water tank is drawn into the two water guide pipes 81 by the water pump 84, and then into the two nozzles 83 through the two spray pipes 82. Water is then sprayed into the sorting tank 2 through the two nozzles 83, simultaneously cleaning all the crabs in the sorting tank 2 in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating disk 5. This effectively cleans the mud off the crabs, reducing subsequent manual labor.
[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
