[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a scallop sorting machine, including a belt conveyor structure 1, a box 2 located on the right side of the belt conveyor structure 1, and a sorting structure 3 located inside the box 2 and behind the box 2.
[0020] The sorting structure 3 includes two inclined conveying buckets 31 assembled on the inner wall of the box 2 and two connecting plates 32 installed on both sides of the box 2. A sorting box 33 is installed in the middle of the two connecting plates 32. A seawater collection box 34 is installed at the bottom of the sorting box 33 and connected thereto. A cylinder 35 is installed on the back of the seawater collection box 34. A push plate 36 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 35. Two symmetrically distributed conveying pipes 37 are connected to the front of the sorting box 33. The end of the conveying pipe 37 away from the sorting box 33 is connected to a discharge pipe 38.
[0021] Using the above scheme: Through the design of the belt conveyor structure 1 and the sorting structure 3, the harvested scallops are placed in batches in the sluice frame 331 and allowed to stand for a period of time. With the help of gravity, the large amount of seawater carried by the scallops will naturally flow out through the holes of the sluice frame 331 and eventually flow into a special seawater collection tank 34, effectively removing the extra weight caused by the seawater. After the standing and drainage is completed, the cylinder 35 is activated to push the push plate 36 closely connected to it to move forward smoothly. During the movement, the push plate 36 slowly pushes the scallops in the sluice frame 331 into the rectangular trough. When the scallops reach the edge of the rectangular trough, they will be carried by gravity through the connected transmission pipe 37. Sliding smoothly into the feeding pipe 38, the sorting process officially begins. Inside the feeding pipe 38, scallops are initially separated based on their size differences. Smaller scallops, upon passing through the first feeding trough, fall directly into the connected inclined conveyor hopper 31 due to their smaller size. The inclined conveyor hopper 31 guides these small scallops to a designated area of the belt conveyor structure, while larger scallops continue to slide down the feeding pipe 38 until they fall into another area of the belt conveyor structure at the second feeding trough. This greatly improves the efficiency of the entire scallop sorting process. Filtering seawater is also for subsequent packaging. Compared to the current gravity weighing grading, using volume for classification is much faster.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the inner wall of the discharging pipe 38 is provided with two discharging grooves of different sizes, and the two discharging grooves are located above the two inclined conveying hoppers 31.
[0023] With the above scheme: the belt conveying structure 1 is provided with two, which is used for conveying two different batches of scallop sorting machines to two different areas, and the discharging groove is provided with two, because the two discharging grooves are one big and one small, when the volume of scallop is greater than the first discharging groove, it will fall at the second discharging groove, and in order to distinguish the two discharging grooves, the two discharging grooves of different sizes are divided into first discharging groove and second discharging groove, when the scallop slides downward along the discharging pipe 38 under the action of gravity, the smaller scallop will fall into the corresponding inclined conveying hopper 31 through the smaller discharging groove, and the larger scallop will continue to slide downward and fall into another inclined conveying hopper 31 through the larger discharging groove, which greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of sorting, so that scallops of different specifications can be quickly distinguished.
[0024] As shown in the figure, Figures 1 to 5 The inner wall of the sorting box 33 is provided with a rectangular groove matched with the conveying pipe 37, the push plate 36 is located in the leakage frame 331, and the two inclined conveying hoppers 31 away from the one end of the box body 2 are located above the belt conveying structure 1.
[0025] With the above scheme: in order to reduce the accumulation of scallops, the scallops can only be laid flat on the top wall of the leakage frame 331 when placed, and the inclination angle and position of the inclined conveying hopper 31 are designed to ensure that the scallops can naturally transition to the belt conveying structure 1 under the action of gravity, and because the belt conveying structure 1 is a relatively stable conveying platform, it can continue to transport the scallops, thereby realizing the effective convergence of scallops of different sizes after being transported in different paths and the next conveying.
[0026] The working principle of the utility model:
[0027] Firstly, the scallops caught on shore are evenly placed in the leak frame 331 in the sorting box 33, attention should be paid to try to lay flat to avoid stacking, and then the scallops are allowed to stand for a period of time, during which the seawater carried by the scallops will drip through the through holes in the bottom wall of the leak frame 331 into the seawater collecting box 34 below, then the air cylinder 35 installed on the back of the seawater collecting box 34 is started, the output end of the air cylinder 35 pushes the push plate 36 to move smoothly in the leak frame 331, and the scallops in the leak frame 331 are slowly pushed to the rectangular groove on the inner wall of the sorting box 33, then the scallops slide into the transmission pipe 37 connected with the rectangular groove under the action of gravity, and then enter the discharge pipe 38 through the transmission pipe 37, in the process of sliding down, according to the size difference, the sorting is started, the smaller scallops will directly fall into the corresponding inclined conveying hopper 31 when passing through the first discharge slot, and the inclined conveying hopper 31 guides them to a specific area of the belt conveying structure 1, while the larger scallops will continue to slide down along the discharge pipe 38 until they fall into another inclined conveying hopper 31 at the second discharge slot, and the inclined conveying hopper 31 further conveys them to another area of the belt conveying structure 1, finally, the belt conveying structure 1 stably conveys the classified scallops of different specifications to two different areas respectively, so as to be processed or packaged subsequently.
