[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0028] The vibration motor and electric push rod in this utility model are common electrical devices in the prior art, and this application will not elaborate on their models or internal structures.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a device for grading crayfish by size, including a baffle 1, a vibration motor 3 mounted on the bottom surface of the baffle 1, an installation plate 2 connected to the output end of the vibration motor 3, a rotating roller 4 mounted inside the installation plate 2, and a connecting rod 5 connected to the bottom surface of the baffle 1. The baffle 1 restricts the position of the vibration motor 3. The installation plate 2 is designed with multiple rotating rollers 4, which are divided into different groups with different gaps between each group of rotating rollers 4. Crayfish of different sizes fall out through the gaps between different groups of rotating rollers 4. The rotating rollers 4 are connected to a device that can control their rotation. The rotation of the rotating rollers 4 transports the crayfish. When the vibration motor 3 is started, it causes the installation plate 2 to vibrate.

[0030] An electric push rod 6 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 2. The output end of the electric push rod 6 is connected to a transmission plate 7. A partition plate 8 is connected inside the transmission plate 7. An inclined plate 9 is connected to the upper surface of the partition plate 8. The mounting plate 2 restricts the position of the electric push rod 6. When the electric push rod 6 is started, it will move the transmission plate 7. The movement of the transmission plate 7 will move the partition plate 8. When the inclined plate 9 rises, it can allow the crayfish that fall on the partition plate 8 to slide down the slope of the inclined plate 9.

[0031] The bottom surface of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the base 10, and the upper surface of the base 10 is connected to the storage shell 11. The storage shell 11 has a groove 12 inside. The connecting rod 5 restricts the position of the base 10. The crayfish falling from the gap of the rotating roller 4 will fall into the groove 12 of the storage shell 11 below and slide along the groove 12.

[0032] The outer surface of the transmission plate 7 is slidably connected to the interior of the mounting plate 2, and the outer surface of the partition plate 8 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 restricts the direction in which the transmission plate 7 and the partition plate 8 can move. The vibration of the mounting plate 2 causes the rotating roller 4 and the crayfish on it to vibrate.

[0033] The storage shell 11 has a slider 13 slidably connected inside, and a baffle plate 14 is connected to the outer surface of the slider 13. The outer surface of the baffle plate 14 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the storage shell 11. The storage shell 11 restricts the direction in which the slider 13 can move. When the slider 13 moves, it will move the baffle plate 14 with it. When the baffle plate 14 blocks the outlet of the chute 12, the crayfish cannot slide out of the chute 12.

[0034] A spring 15 is connected inside the slider 13. The end of the spring 15 away from the slider 13 is connected to a rod 16. The outer surface of the rod 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the storage shell 11. The spring 15 provides a pushing force to the rod 16. When the rod 16 is inserted into the storage shell 11, the slider 13 cannot move up or down.

[0035] The outer surface of the insertion rod 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the slider 13. A pull rod 17 is connected to the outer surface of the insertion rod 16. The slider 13 restricts the direction in which the insertion rod 16 can move. The user can move the insertion rod 16 by pulling the pull rod 17.

[0036] The outer surface of the pull rod 17 is slidably connected to the inside of the slider 13. The spring 15 is sleeved on the outer surface of the pull rod 17. The slider 13 restricts the direction in which the pull rod 17 can move. The pull rod 17 can prevent the spring 15 from bulging to one side when compressed.

[0037] The upper surface of the baffle 1 is connected to the placement shell 18. The outer surface of the mounting plate 2 is in contact with the outer surface of the placement shell 18. The baffle 1 restricts the position of the placement shell 18. The user can pour the crayfish in the frame into the placement shell 18 and let the crayfish fall onto the rotating roller 4 along the slide 12 inside the placement shell 18. The placement shell 18 will not affect the vibration of the mounting plate 2.

[0038] Working principle: When using the product, the user first needs to start the vibrating motor 3 and make the rotating roller 4 rotate. Then, the user can pour the crayfish into the placement shell 18 and let the crayfish slide down the placement shell 18 onto the rotating roller 4. The vibrating rotating roller 4 will cause crayfish smaller than the gap of the rotating roller 4 to fall into the collection shell 11. When the larger crayfish are sent to the separator plate 8, the electric push rod 6 will push the transmission plate 7 to lift the separator plate 8, so that this part of the crayfish is fully screened at this part of the rotating roller 4. After that, the electric push rod 6 will lift the separator plate 8 down, so that the crayfish can move to the next batch of rotating roller 4. The crayfish that fall into the collection shell 11 will slide out along the chute 12 and fall into the collection basket placed by the user.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "left", "right", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "front", "back", "inner", "outer", "back", "middle", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0040] However, the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
