Hereinafter, a fish sorter (hereinafter referred to as a 'selector') according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Among the various components used in the present sorter, many of the same components as those used in the previously disclosed roller sorter are included. Therefore, in the case of using a device that has already been published, a detailed description will be omitted to avoid duplication.

The sorter 100 of the present invention may also be provided with a frame, an input unit, a rotating motor, a conveyor belt, a discharge chute, an inclination adjusting unit, and a moving wheel as in the prior art.

In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the sorter 100 of the present invention also consists of a roller that is rotated inclined by a predetermined angle from the inlet to the outlet.

The difference between the present invention and the prior art is that the configuration and operation principle of the sorting unit 110 is different.

Example 1

Figure 3a is a perspective view showing the configuration of the sorting unit 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, 3b is a side cross-sectional view showing an arrangement of the sorting unit 110.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the sorting unit 110 includes a pair of upper rollers 112a arranged side by side and a lower roller 112b disposed below the pair of upper rollers 112a. Is done.

The rotation axes of the three rollers 112a and 112b are all parallel, and the sorting unit 110 is generally inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the ground. However, fish such as eel can slide down between the rollers 112a and 112b while moving by themselves even when the sorting unit 110 is not inclined, thus achieving a predetermined sorting effect even when the sorting unit 110 is disposed in parallel with the ground. can do.

In addition, the three rollers 112a and 112b are all cylindrical having a constant cross-sectional area in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in Figure 3b, the central axis of the lower roller 112b is located vertically downward from the center of the central axis of the two upper rollers (112a). Therefore, the distances from the center of the lower roller 112b to the center of the two upper rollers 112a are all the same.

In addition, the upper roller 112a and the lower roller 112b rotate in the same direction or in the opposite direction to each other, a rotation motor or a hydraulic motor (not shown) may be used to rotate the rollers 112a and 112b.

4 shows the interval between the rollers 112a and 112b, wherein the upper roller 112a is a guide section G, and the upper roller 112a and the lower roller 112b are transmission sections P. FIG. .

The guide section G preferably has a size such that most of the fish 10 to be selected can easily pass.

When the fish 10 is introduced between the upper rollers 112a, the fish 10 naturally falls between the upper rollers 112a by gravity and contacts the surface of the lower rollers 112b. At this time, since the lower roller 112b is also rotating at a high speed, the fish 10 will move to the right or left depending on the location.

If the diameter or thickness of the fish 10 is smaller than the permeation section P, the fish 10 passes through the permeation section P, and then falls below the sorter 100.

On the contrary, if the diameter or thickness of the fish 10 is larger than the transmission section P, the fish 10 flows in the inclined direction along the upper surface of the lower roller 112b without passing through the transmission section P. It goes down.

Thus, by appropriately adjusting the size of the transmission section (P) it is possible to select the fish 10 in a variety of sizes.

As shown in FIG. 5, the size of the transmission section P may be adjusted while parallelly moving the lower roller 112b in the vertical direction, but may also move the upper roller 112a on the contrary.

The way to move the roller (112a, 112b) up and down may use a gap adjusting unit as shown in the prior art, in addition to the movement means of various methods may be used.

Example 2

Figure 6a is a perspective view showing the configuration of the sorting unit 210 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, 6b is a side cross-sectional view showing an arrangement of the sorting unit 210.

The rollers 212a and 212b used in the second embodiment are also all in parallel with the rotation axes of the three rollers 212a and 212b and are inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the ground, and both rotate in the same direction.

However, the three rollers 212a and 212b are not cylindrical, and are different from the first embodiment in that they have a truncated conical shape in which the cross-sectional area is constantly reduced in the longitudinal direction.

Preferably, the cross-sectional areas of the rollers 212a and 212b become smaller toward the downward direction inclined.

In this state, when the fish 10 is introduced between the two upper rollers 212a, after being introduced through the guide section G as before, the small fish 10 is smaller than the permeation section P. Passing (P) vertically down, the large fish 10 is moved in the direction of the outlet along the inclined surface of the lower roller (212b).

All three rollers 212a and 212b constituting the sorting unit 210 have a truncated conical shape, and thus the size of the diameter varies in the longitudinal direction. In other words, the size of the transmission section P of the higher side (near the inlet) is smaller than the size of the transmission section P of the lower side (near the outlet).

Therefore, small fish 10 will be selected near the inlet, and large fish 10 will be selected away from the inlet. The user of the sorter 100 can sort the fish 10 in the required manner by placing the collection bins in the appropriate locations.

In this embodiment, the method for adjusting the size of the transmission section P is the same as in Example 1.

Example 3

7A is a perspective view showing the configuration of the sorting unit 310 according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and 7b is a side view showing the arrangement of the sorting unit 310.

Cylindrical rollers 312a and 312b are used for the selection unit 310 according to the third embodiment, in which a rotation axis of the upper roller 312a and a rotation axis of the lower roller 312b are opened by a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane. to be. The central axes of the two upper rollers 312a are arranged in parallel with each other on the same plane, and the central axes of the lower rollers 312b are inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the plane where the central axes of the two upper rollers 312a are located. Are placed in a state. Here, the predetermined angle means an angle larger than 0 ° and smaller than 15 °.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7B, the gap between the upper roller 312a and the lower roller 312b increases gradually toward the outlet.

The rollers 312a and 312b themselves have a cylindrical shape, but since the rotation axes of the upper roller 312a and the lower roller 312b are not parallel to each other, the size of the transmission section P increases gradually toward the discharge port direction. Therefore, by selecting the appropriate section in the direction of the outlet from the inlet to the collection bin can be selected by the user of the fish (10) of the desired size.

In this embodiment, there may be two ways to adjust the size of the transmission section (P). That is, the first method of vertically moving the upper roller 312a or the lower roller 312b and the second method of adjusting the angle at which the rotation shafts of the upper roller 312a and the lower roller 312b are spread.

Either way you will be able to adjust the spacing to suit your needs.

Example 4

8A is a perspective view showing the configuration of the sorting unit 410 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and 8b and 8c are a plan view and a side view showing the arrangement of the sorting unit 410, respectively.

The sorting unit 410 according to the fourth embodiment uses cylindrical rollers 412a and 412b, but the rotation axes of the rollers 412a and 412b are not arranged in parallel with each other.

As shown in Figure 8b, the two upper rollers (412a) are arranged in a non-parallel state. The central axes of the two upper rollers 412a are arranged in the shape of a fan meat with a predetermined angle spread on the same plane. Preferably, the gap between the rollers is arranged to be wider from the inlet toward the outlet. And, the central axis of the lower roller 412b is arranged in parallel with the plane on which the central axis of the upper roller 412a is placed, as shown in FIG. 8C. Here, the predetermined angle means an angle larger than 0 ° and smaller than 15 °.

Similarly to Example 4, the distance between the permeation section (P) is increased from the inlet to the outlet so that the fish 10 can be selected by adjusting the appropriate size.

In this embodiment, there may be two ways to adjust the size of the transmission section (P).

That is, the first method of adjusting the angle between the rotation axis of the two upper rollers 412a and the second method of vertically moving the lower roller 412a or the upper roller 412b vertically.

Example 5

9 is a side view showing an arrangement of the sorting unit 510 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.

In the sorting unit 510 according to the fifth embodiment, the upper roller 512a is arranged in the shape of a fan, as in the fourth embodiment, but the upper roller 512a and the lower roller 512b are opened by a predetermined angle rather than in parallel. Placed in a state is different.

That is, the two upper rollers 512a are arranged as in the fourth embodiment, and the upper rollers 512a and the lower roller 512b are arranged as in the third embodiment.

Example 6

In the above embodiment, the method of selecting the fish 10 using two upper rollers and one lower roller was applied.

However, depending on the type, size, state, etc. of the fish 10, two upper rollers and a lower roller may be used.

10 is a side sectional view showing a roller arrangement of the sorting unit 610 according to the sixth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 10, the two upper rollers 612a are spaced apart by the guide section G, and the two lower rollers 612b are spaced apart by the transmission section P from the surface of the upper roller 612a. Installed in a state. The rollers 612a and 612b all rotate in the same direction.

In the case of having such a configuration, since three transmission sections P are formed in one sorting unit 610, a larger amount of sorting becomes possible.

On the other hand, Figure 11 is an exemplary view showing a method of adjusting the position of the outlet in the sorter 100 of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiments, when the sorting sections 210, 310, 410, and 510 of the embodiments 2, 3, 4, and 5 are used, the size of the fish 10 sorted gradually increases from the inlet to the outlet. . That is, the small fish 10 near the inlet, the large fish 10 is accumulated in the far. The user can perform the sorting work according to the application by appropriately adjusting the number and location of the outlets.

In contrast, in the case of using the sorting parts 110 and 610 of the first and sixth embodiments, the small fish 10 is accumulated at the lower ends of the sorting parts 110 and 610, and the large fish 10 is accumulated at the distal ends. It is not necessary to have an outlet in the middle of (110, 610).

Therefore, the discharge chute 120 described below may be applied to the case of using the selection unit 210, 310, 410, 510 of the second, third, fourth, and fifth embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 11, an inverted V-shaped discharge chute 120 positioned below the selection unit 210, 310, 410, and 510 is placed on both side rails of the frame 102 and fixed by bolts. To move the position of the discharge chute 120, loosen the bolt and move the discharge chute 120 along the rail, and then lock the bolt again.

In FIG. 11, only one discharge chute 120 is shown so that the fish 10 to be selected may be divided into two sizes. However, when the discharge chute 120 is two, the fish 10 may be divided into three sizes. There will be. The number of the discharge chute 120 may be appropriately selected according to the needs of the user.

On the other hand, Figure 12 is a side view showing a connection state of the upper roller and the lower roller.

The plurality of upper rollers U and lower rollers L are rotatably fixed to the upper bracket 132 and the lower bracket 134, respectively.

The upper bracket 132 is provided with a guide roller 140, the guide roller 140 is installed on both outer sides of the upper roller (U).

The guide roller 140 is disposed farther than the distance between the two upper rollers U, and the central axis of the guide roller 140 is higher than the plane where the central axes of the two upper rollers U are located. Lies on a plane located in

The guide roller 140 serves to prevent the fish 10 from protruding out of the sorting unit 110, and allows the fish 10 to pass through the sorting unit 110 without being damaged.

In order to adjust the size of the fish (10) to be selected, it is necessary to adjust the distance between the rollers as described above. The present invention discloses a method of changing the distance by moving the upper bracket 132 or lower bracket 134 up and down while turning the handle 136.

13A and 13B are conceptual views comparing the effects of the prior art and the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 13A, in the sorter using a roller arranged horizontally and rotating in the same direction, when a large amount of fish was introduced, the tendency to be pushed to one side by the rotation of the roller. However, in the case of applying the present invention, since the size of the guide section is quite large, it is hardly caused to be pushed to one side by the rotation of the upper roller.

In addition, as shown in Figure 13b, even when using the sorting machine of the present invention in the shaken or inclined bottom can be carried out without any difficulty. Therefore, you can install a sorter on a fishing boat, catch fish from the net, and sort the fish directly.

In addition to the above, other elements constituting the sorter are the same as the conventional apparatus disclosed in the prior art. For example, in the case of a driving unit for rotating each roller, one roller for each roller may be directly rotated, but one or two motors may be used. In other words, the motor is directly connected to the roller on the first edge, and adjacent rollers may be connected by a time belt or a chain.

In addition, in order to adjust the distance between the rollers to move the bracket is installed up and down. To this end, a handle is attached to the rotating shaft formed with a thread, and connected to each bracket so that the bracket can move according to the rotation of the handle.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the above-described technical configuration of the present invention may be embodied by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains without changing its technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. It will be appreciated that the present invention may be practiced as.
