Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , 2 4. This utility model provides a size sorting device for fish ball production, including a screening chamber 2. A fish ball feeding chamber 1 is provided above the feeding chamber of the screening chamber 2. The top of the screening chamber 2 is open and a flow guiding component 3 is installed. The flow guiding component 3 includes a support block 33 mounted above the screening chamber 2. There are two support blocks 33. The distance between the two support blocks 33 facing the fish ball feeding chamber 1 is small, and the distance between the two support blocks 33 away from the fish ball feeding chamber 1 is large. The distance between the two support blocks 33 increases at equal distances from one end to the other. A vertically installed upright baffle 31 is provided on the upper edge of the support block 33. An inclined plate 32 is provided on the upper inner side of the support block 33. The upper surface of the inclined plate 32 is inclined towards the middle of the screening chamber 2. The upright baffle 31 and the inclined plate 32 are integrally processed and locked to the support block 33 by screws.

[0023] The screening chamber 2 is provided with at least two or more material distribution chambers. Each material distribution chamber is provided with a water outlet 24. Each material distribution chamber is provided with a discharge port 26 at the bottom. Below the discharge port 26 is a discharge pipe 27. The discharge port diameter of the discharge pipe 27 in the material distribution chamber increases sequentially from one end of the support block 33 to the other end.

[0024] To facilitate the feeding of fish balls, the upright baffle 31 and the inclined plate 32 together form an L-shaped structure. The upright baffle 31, inclined plate 32, and support block 33 are all made of 304 food-grade stainless steel. To facilitate the separate feeding of fish balls of different sizes, the screening chamber 2 is equipped with three feeding chambers arranged along one end of the support block 33 to the other, namely, the first feeding chamber 21, the second feeding chamber 22, and the third feeding chamber 23. Each adjacent feeding chamber is separated by a partition 25. To facilitate the removal of moisture during the size screening of the fish balls, each of the... The diameter of the water outlet holes 24 in the distribution bins is uniform, and the diameter of each water outlet hole 24 is smaller than the diameter of the discharge pipe 27 of the first distribution bin 21. In order to facilitate better control of the fish ball discharge, each discharge pipe 27 is equipped with an electric control valve 28. The end of the fish ball feeding bin 1 is equipped with a discharge port 11, which is directly opposite the feed end of the guide assembly 3. In order to centrally remove moisture, the outside of the discharge port 26 of each screening bin 2 is connected through a water collection trough. The water collection trough is equipped with a liquid outlet pipe on the outward side, and the water collection trough is located above the discharge end of the discharge pipe 27.

[0025] See details Figure 3 In another embodiment of this solution, the support block 33 is mounted at an angle on the screening chamber 2 to facilitate the movement and screening of fish balls.

[0026] In practical use, fish balls are fed into the guide assembly through the discharge port of the fish ball feeding hopper, and then flow from the small port to the large port of the guide assembly. At the appropriate port size, the fish balls will fall from the upright baffle and inclined plate into the individual distribution bins. This solution adopts a flow screening method, which can effectively screen fish balls of a certain size into one bin, realizing size classification. Figure 3 In the second embodiment, the flowability of fish balls during grading can be accelerated by setting the support blocks to be inclined, thereby increasing the efficiency of screening. Water outlets are provided in the material distribution bins to facilitate the flow of excess water carried on the fish balls into the water collection tank and to guide it outward in a concentrated manner, separating the fish balls and water. Finally, fish balls of different sizes and grades are obtained in each bin, reducing manual operation and making it more convenient and faster.

[0027] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
