Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lobster sorting technology, and in particular to a lobster sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the aquatic product processing and distribution sector, lobsters come in various sizes and need to be sorted. During sorting, lobsters can pinch people, causing injuries to workers. Therefore, sorting equipment is needed for sorting.
[0003] Existing crayfish sorting technologies mostly rely on manual sorting. However, this method is inefficient and labor-intensive. For example, a Chinese patent discloses a "crayfish sorting device" with the application number "CN202123164506.0". It uses a U-shaped frame and a bent rod to quickly sort crayfish according to their size by mechanical rotation. However, the rotation can easily cause crayfish to die, thus affecting sales. Sorting crayfish requires them to fall off naturally without any external force, and the shells of crayfish are relatively fragile. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a lobster sorting device. The connecting plate slides up and down in the chute, which drives the connecting frame to move downward.

The first push block and the second push block on the push rod work together to push the moving plates on the left and right sides to move, and finally drive the sorting rod to move closer to the middle or open, so as to flexibly realize the sorting operation of lobsters of different sizes. The elasticity of the spring allows the connecting plate and the connecting frame to quickly return to their original positions.
[0005] This utility model also provides a lobster sorting device, comprising: a support frame, a sorting basket and a slide rail at the top of the support frame, rollers at the bottom of the sorting basket, a base fixedly connected to the inner side of the sorting basket, slide rods fixedly connected to both sides of the base, a movable plate slidably connected to the outside of the slide rods, and sorting rods on both the movable plate and the base; grooves on both sides of the sorting basket, connecting plates slidably connected inside the grooves, connecting frames fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting plates, a first wedge and a spring on the connecting frame, a second wedge inside the sorting basket, a push rod fixedly connected to the side surface of the second wedge, and a first push block and a second push block on the push rod. Through the above device, the cooperation of the first wedge, the second wedge, the push rod, the first push plate, and the second push plate enables rapid adjustment of the spacing between the sorting rods, adaptable to lobsters of different sizes.
[0006] According to the lobster sorting device of this utility model, a funnel and a collection box are provided at the bottom of the support. The funnel is an inverted frustum shape, and the collection box is located directly below the funnel. With this device, the funnel guides the lobsters accurately into the collection box, facilitating centralized collection and subsequent processing.

With the above device, the handle facilitates pushing the sorting basket, and the rollers and slide achieve smooth movement of the sorting basket.
[0008] According to the lobster sorting device of this utility model, the movable plate is located on both sides of the base, and the sorting rod is fixedly connected between the front and rear of the sorting basket. Through this device, the movable plate drives the sorting rod to adjust its position, enabling flexible sorting of lobsters of different sizes.
[0009] According to the lobster sorting device of this utility model, a latch is provided on the top of the connecting plate, the latch is detachably connected to the sorting basket, a push handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, the connecting frame is double-forked, and the first wedge is fixedly connected to the lower surface of both ends of the connecting frame. With the above device, the connecting plate can be fixed by the latch, the push handle is easy to operate, and the connecting frame structure is stable and reliable.
[0010] According to the lobster sorting device of this utility model, the connecting frame is located inside the sorting basket, one end of the spring is connected to the top of the sorting basket, and the other end of the spring is connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame. Through this device, the spring provides elasticity to restore the connecting frame to its original position, ensuring sensitive structural reset.
[0011] According to the lobster sorting device of this utility model, both the first wedge and the second wedge are right-angled trapezoids, the hypotenuses of the paths of the first and second wedges are in contact, and the first wedge is located directly above the second wedge. Through this device, power is transmitted via the sliding engagement between the wedges, achieving synchronous adjustment of the sorting rod.
[0012] According to the lobster sorting device of this utility model, the push rod is located directly above the slide rod, and the moving plate is located between the first push block and the second push block, and is in contact with the first push block and the second push block. Through this device, precise sorting distance control is achieved by pushing the moving plate with the push block; the structure is compact and the linkage is stable.
[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this lobster sorting device uses a connecting plate that slides up and down in a chute to move the connecting frame downwards. At the same time, it presses the first wedge to push the second wedge, which in turn moves the push rod forward. The first and second push blocks on the push rod work together to move the moving plates on the left and right sides, ultimately causing the sorting rod to move closer to or open towards the center. This allows for flexible sorting of lobsters of different sizes. The spring force enables the connecting plate and the connecting frame to quickly return to their original positions.
