INVENTION The present invention relates to a relates to an automatic sorting machine shellfish utilized for use, for example, to separate the scallops by size.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, scallop A as shown in FIG. 5 needs to be sorted by size for the sake of aquaculture. In the past, this selection was all done manually. Specifically, prepare several sieves with different mesh sizes, first put the scallops to be sorted into the big sieve and shake the sieve to remove the scallops smaller than the mesh. , The scallops that had been sieved out were sieved with a sieve that was smaller than the first mesh to remove the scallop that was smaller than the first mesh, and this was repeated several times to divide it into several sizes. This sorting method has poor work efficiency, and also puts a heavy burden on the person who performs the sorting.

Therefore, the applicant of the present invention previously developed and put into practical use the automatic sorter shown in FIG. This sorter is provided with three downwardly inclined shooters B in three stages, of which a relatively large hole C is provided in the uppermost shooter B and a slightly smaller hole C is provided in the second shooter B. Are formed in large numbers, and the holes C are not formed in the third-stage shooter B. Then, vibration is applied to each shooter B to lower the scallop A, and smaller scallops A smaller than the scallop A are dropped from the hole C during movement so as to be sorted by size. In this case, the lower end portion of the second-stage shooter B is attached to the frame K via the elastic urethane rod D, and the arm E is connected to the upper end portion of the third-stage shooter B. The shooter B is reciprocally oscillated in the longitudinal direction by being rotated by the motor M.

Then, when the scallop A is put in the hopper F provided above the extension line of the uppermost shooter B, and the scallop A is sent to the uppermost shooter B by hand, the scallop A takes the uppermost shooter B. While moving, it slides down into a box G placed below it. During the slide, the scallop A, which is smaller than the hole C of the shooter B, drops from the hole C to the second-stage shooter B, slides down the second-stage shooter B, and is placed below the shooter 2 The second box H is dropped. Also in this case, the scallop A, which is smaller than the hole C of the second-stage shooter B, slides down from the hole C to the bottom shooter B while sliding down.
The scallop A is accommodated in each of the boxes G, H, and I according to the size.

[0005]

The automatic sorter shown in FIG. 4 works well with this, but while the operator stands next to the hopper F and puts the scallop A into the hopper F,
There is a problem that the inserted scallop A has to be sent to the shooter B by hand, and because of this, the worker cannot leave the side of the hopper F and one hopper staff member is required exclusively. There was also.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic shellfish sorter which has a simple structure and which automatically feeds scallops and the like put into the hopper to the shooter.

[0008]

[Function] The automatic shellfish sorter of the present invention applies vibration to the shellfish
Above the chute 1 to drop a small shellfish 3 than from the sorting hole 2 there during movement along with lowering the class 3,
Since the hopper 5 is installed so as to be inclined in the opposite direction to the shooter 1 and to be able to reciprocate in the front-back direction by the vibration of the shooter 1, the shellfish 3 accumulated in the hopper 5 is automatically
And smoothly sent to the shooter 1.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the automatic shellfish sorter of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this example, shellfish 3 is sailed
It is as a standing shell. Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a shooter made of a metal or plastic plate material.
The shooters 1 are connected and fixed to the stages, and the lengths of the shooters 1 are sequentially shortened from the top stage. Also, the top shooter 1 has shells 3 (small scallops) smaller than medium size.
A large number of sorting holes 2 having a diameter capable of sieving off are formed, and a large number of sorting holes 2 having a diameter capable of sieving out small-sized shellfish 3 are formed on the shooter 1 in the next stage . The shooter 1 of the third stage is not a hole.

The shooter 1 is attached to a frame 10 made of a metal pipe so as to be tiltable as shown in FIG. Specifically, the tip (lower end side) of the second-stage shooter 1 is connected to the frame 10 via a urethane rod 11 having elasticity, and the other end (upper end) of the shooter 1 is centered on the frame 10. By connecting to the upper end 14 of a swing arm 13 mounted so as to be rotatable on a shaft 12, the shooter 1 can swing in the longitudinal direction of the shooter 1 according to the movement of the swing arm 13. A box 15 for accommodating the shellfish 3 slid from the shooter 1 is installed below the tip of each shooter 1.
In addition, in this embodiment, an auxiliary slide 16 is attached to the lower part of the tip end side of the second-stage shooter 1 (FIG. 2), and the shellfish 3 that drops from the tip of each shooter 1 and the selection hole 2 in the middle are dropped.
The shellfish 3 is placed in a predetermined box 15 respectively.

A crank rod 19 of a drive device 18 as shown in FIG. 1B is connected to the lower end 17 of the swing arm 13, and the crank rod 19 pushes or pulls the lower end 17 of the swing arm 13. Then, the shooter 1 connected to the upper end 14 of the swing arm 13 via the rotary bearing 20 vibrates. The crank rod 19 converts the rotational motion of the motor 21 in the drive unit 18 into a reciprocating motion by a crank mechanism, and in this example, reciprocates with a vibration of about 350 times per minute.

Reference numeral 5 in FIGS. 1 and 2 denotes a hopper for supplying a scallop 3 to be selected to the shooter 1 . Hopper 5 is subordinate
Just like a traditional hopper, you can throw in a lot of shellfish at once.
Collect the shellfish and the shellfish will drop from there little by little.
It is a scam. The hopper 5 processes a metal plate and slides it.
Is formed as Ri table, you are bridged so as to tilt the same chute 1 on the side of the chute 1 of the top is in the opposite direction
Ri, supported topped with the bottom surface of the lower end (outlet) side of the hopper 5 on a rotatable roller 30, it is rotatably connected to the upper end to the upper end of the elongated plate-shaped coupling element 32. Connector 32
Is connected to the shooter 1 at its lower end, and is attached to a shaft 31 rotatably provided between triangular plate-shaped support pieces 40 that are erected so that the upper part of the intermediate part is opposed to both sides in the width direction of the frame 10. . As a result, when the shooter 1 moves back and forth, the lower end of the connector 32 moves in the same direction, and the upper end side of the connector 32 rotates together with the shaft 31 to swing in the opposite direction (front-back direction) to the shooter 1, Along with this, the hopper 5 is swung in the front-back direction and in the direction opposite to the shooter 1. Although not shown, the hopper 5 may be mounted above the uppermost shooter 1 so as to be completely fixed to the shooter 1. In this case, the hopper 5 should vibrate in exactly the same direction as the shooter 1. become.

A shower pipe 29 for washing the scallops sent from the hopper 5 to the shooter 1 is attached near the outlet of the hopper 5 (FIG. 2). In this structure, a large number of holes are formed in the lower portion of the resin pipe along the longitudinal direction thereof, and when salt water or water is supplied to the pipe 29, liquid is blown out from the holes to the vicinity of the outlet of the hopper 5.

[0014] Incidentally, the driving of pre-Symbol chute 1 arranged in three stages may be performed by a method as shown in FIG. The lower end side and the upper end side of the shooter 1 are slidably mounted in the longitudinal direction of the shooter 1 by rollers 35 mounted on the frame 10, and the shooter 1 is mounted by a crank rod 19 of a drive device 18 having a crank mechanism. The shooter 1 and the hopper 5 are driven by directly pushing or pulling.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] The automatic shellfish selector of the present invention has the following effects. . To vibrate the same manner in the longitudinal direction and the hopper 5 starve Yuta 1 was laid over the chute 1, a time much throw
