Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oyster farming technology, specifically to a sorting device for oyster farming. Background Technology
[0002] In oyster farming, sorting devices are widely used to sort oysters. Oysters generally refer to oysters, which belong to the phylum Mollusca, class Bivalvia, order Ostreida. They are the world's largest farmed shellfish and one of the important marine biological resources available to humans. They are a globally distributed species. They are not only delicious and nutritious, but also have unique health benefits and medicinal value. Sorting devices are also used in oyster farming.
[0003] Existing sorting devices generally sort oysters by weight. Oysters are simply placed on the hopper of the conveyor unit, and after being weighed, they are transported to different locations by the transmission chain according to their weight data, and then fall into the collection box from the hopper.
[0004] However, existing sorting devices use a swinging bucket to move oysters out and drop them into a collection box. During the falling process, the oyster shells may break or even die due to the impact, which is not conducive to sales and greatly reduces the profit margin of oysters. To address the above problems, a sorting device for oyster farming is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove can provide a certain amount of space when the pressure plate rotates.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution: a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the collection box.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle can be easily pulled out of the collection box.
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution: a weighing sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the weighing sensor, a first pad is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, a first motor is fixedly connected to the top of the first pad, a first transmission rod is fixedly connected through the output end of the first motor, U-shaped plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer ring of the first transmission rod, and a connecting plate is rotatably connected to the center of the outer ring of the first transmission rod.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0023] 1. This utility model provides a sorting device for oyster farming. It comprises a collection box, a U-shaped frame, a rubber ring, a first roller, and an airbag. When oysters fall from the tray into the collection box, they first land above the rubber ring. Due to the inclined placement of the U-shaped frame, the oysters slide on the rubber ring, causing the first roller to rotate and transport the oysters above the airbag. An air pump then operates, supplying gas into the airbag, which protects the oysters. The oysters then fall onto a screen for collection, reducing the risk of shell breakage due to impact and affecting sales.
[0024] 2. The present invention provides a sorting device for oyster farming, which consists of a screen, an impurity box, a pressure plate, a second transmission rod, and a rotating ring. When an oyster falls on the screen, the impurities it carries will pass through the screen and enter the collection box for collection. Then, the rotating ring can be rotated to release the limit on the second transmission rod. Then, the second transmission rod can be rotated to drive the pressure plate to rotate, so that the screen can be removed and replaced, which facilitates the collection of impurities.

[0034] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model discloses a sorting device for oyster farming, comprising a ring conveyor 1, two collection boxes 10 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ring conveyor 1, a U-shaped frame 15 fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two collection boxes 10, and screens 20 installed at the bottom of two pressure plates 21. The collection boxes 10 are used to collect oysters that have undergone weight sorting. Two grooves 23 are formed on the inner wall of the collection box 19, which limit the rotation of the pressure plates 21 while allowing them to rotate. Pressure plates 21 are installed on the inner walls of both grooves 23. A handle 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the collection box 19; pulling the handle 25 allows the collection box 19 to be removed. A weighing sensor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of a moving block 2, which is used to detect the weight of the oysters. When moved to the collection box 10, the corresponding oysters can be put into the collection box 10 for collection. The top of the weighing sensor 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4, and the first pad 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 4. The top of the first pad 6 is fixedly connected to the first motor 7. When the first motor 7 works, it can drive the first transmission rod 9 to rotate, and then drive the U-shaped plate 5 to rotate for angle adjustment. The output end of the first motor 7 is fixedly connected to the first transmission rod 9. The two sides of the outer ring of the first transmission rod 9 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 5. The connecting plate 4 is rotatably connected at the center of the outer ring of the first transmission rod 9. The top of the U-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to the hopper 8. When the hopper 8 rotates, the oysters can be transported above the first roller 16. The connecting plate 4 and the U-shaped plate 5 are rotatably connected.
[0036] Combination Figure 3 - Figure 5 Two U-shaped frames 15 are rotatably connected between their inner walls by evenly distributed first rollers 16. Each first roller 16 has a rubber ring 17 around its outer edge, which provides some protection for the oysters. A second pad 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of each of the two U-shaped frames 15. An air pump 13 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two second pads 14. A delivery pipe 12 is passed through and fixedly connected to one side of each air pump 13. When the air pump 13 operates, it delivers gas to the airbag 11, thus protecting the oysters when they fall onto it. The two delivery pipes... One side of each U-shaped frame 15 is hung and fixedly connected to an airbag 11. The top of one side of each of the two collection boxes 10 is slidably connected to a collection box 19. The collection box 19 is used to collect oysters and then easily remove them. The bottom of the inner wall of the collection box 19 is provided with an impurity collection component. The top of the ring conveyor 1 is provided with evenly distributed moving blocks 2. The rear side of the inner wall of the two U-shaped frames 15 is rotatably connected to a second roller 27. The outer ring of the second roller 27 is provided with a limit plate 28. The limit plate 28 is locked on the second roller 27 for easy conveying. The limit plate 28 is fixedly connected to the airbag 11.
[0037] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7The impurity collection assembly includes a support plate 22, which is fixedly connected to the collection box 19. A screen 20 is provided on the top of the support plate 22, which can collect impurities into the impurity box 18. The top of the collection box 19 has two limiting grooves 29, and a rotating ring 26 is placed in the limiting grooves 29 to facilitate operation of the rotating ring 26. The bottom of each limiting groove 29 is rotatably connected to a second transmission rod 24. The outer ring of each second transmission rod 24 is threadedly connected to the rotating ring 26. When the rotating ring 26 rotates, it can release the limiting of the second transmission rod 24. The bottom of the outer ring of each second transmission rod 24 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 21. The impurity box 18 is slidably connected to one side of the bottom of the collection box 10.
[0038] Working principle: When using the sorting device, the circular conveyor 1 transports the oysters, and the weighing sensor 3 detects the weight. When the detected weight reaches the preset standard, the oysters are collected in the collection box 10 as they pass through it. The first motor 7 is started, driving the bucket 8 to rotate 15 degrees. The oysters then slide off the bucket 8 and land on the rubber ring 17. Since the U-shaped frame 15 is placed at an angle, the oysters slide downwards when they land on the rubber ring 17, causing the first roller 16 to rotate and transport the oysters to the airbag 11. Then, the air pump 13 is started, and the oysters are transported using the conveyor system. The delivery pipe 12 inflates the airbag 11, protecting the oysters when they fall on top of it. Since the airbag 11 is sloped, the oysters fall onto the screen 20, which is then collected by the collection box 19. During collection, some impurities inevitably accumulate; these are filtered by the screen 20 and collected in the impurity box 18. When the screen 20 needs replacement, the second transmission rod 24 is rotated to release its limit, causing it to rotate and drive the pressure plate 21 to rotate. The screen 20 can then be moved upwards for removal and replacement, improving its performance.
