Description

Abalone feeding and sorting apparatus

The present invention relates to an abalone feeding and sorting device, and more particularly, to an abalone feeding and sorting device capable of accurately sorting abalone according to weight and smoothly supplying abalone to a sorting dish of an abalone sorter.

In general, fruits such as apples have been sorted and sold at differentiated prices according to their weight, and if this is done manually, labor costs and sorting work time are excessive, and reliability is inevitably lowered due to errors in sorting work. none.

To solve this problem, a machine that automatically sorts product classification has been devised and sold, and this sorting device rotates the conveying chain and sorting dish under the power of a driving motor, and is folded at a specific position according to the weight of the product placed on the sorting dish. By operating, it is possible to sort products by weight.

However, in such a sorting apparatus, after the folding operation of the sorting dish, the operator manually rotates the sorting dish to return it to its original position, so a technique of returning the sorting dish in the process of transferring the sorting unit to improve work efficiency is required.

In addition, expensive products such as abalone have a large price difference according to their grade, and therefore, although accurate sorting work is required, conventional sorting machines are not easy to adjust the height of the sorting bar, and it is difficult to accurately control it, so the occurrence of errors cannot be fundamentally reduced. There is.

In addition, the conventional abalone sorting apparatus has a disadvantage in that it requires an operator to directly place the abalone on the sorting dish, resulting in poor work efficiency.
