Several exemplary embodiments of the shellfish skirt remover and its components of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 1-6.

Example one

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the shellfish skirt remover in this embodiment comprises a skirt removing system 1 and a conveying system 2. The skirt removal system 1 comprises a skirt removal unit 11 (see fig. 3, described below in detail) and a skirt removal actuator unit 12.

The skirt removing transmission unit 12 comprises two parallel annular chains 122, two ends of the chains 122 are respectively sleeved on chain wheels 123 at two ends of the chains, and two chain wheels 123 at the same end of the two chains 122 are arranged on the same chain wheel transmission shaft 124. The sprocket drive shaft 124 is supported by bearing blocks 125 at both ends thereof. One end of one of the sprocket drive shafts 124 is drivingly connected to the chain drive motor 121. The chain transmission motor 121 drives the sprocket transmission shaft 124 to drive the two sprockets (driving sprockets) 123 mounted on the sprocket transmission shaft 124 to rotate, the rotation of the sprockets 123 drives the chain 122 engaged therewith to move, and further drives the sprocket (driven sprocket) 123 engaged therewith at the other end of the chain 122 to rotate, thereby forming an annular movement of the chain 122.

As shown in fig. 3, the skirt removing unit 11 includes a driving rubber roll 112 and a driven rubber roll 111. The two rubber rollers are provided with a plurality of strip-shaped teeth extending along the axial direction of the two rubber rollers, and the strip-shaped teeth on the driving rubber roller 112 and the driven rubber roller 111 are meshed with each other. The same ends of the driving rubber roller 112 and the driven rubber roller 111 are respectively provided with a pinion 114, the two pinions 114 are meshed with each other, and the other end of the driving rubber roller 112 is provided with a main gear 113. The main gear 113 drives the driving rubber roller 112 to rotate when driven by external force, and the rotation of the driving rubber roller 112 drives the driven rubber roller 111 to rotate in the opposite direction through the transmission between the two secondary gears 114. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the embodiment, the skirt removing transmission unit 12 is disposed above (or below) the skirt removing unit, and the chain 122 above may be engaged with the main gear 113 below, and the movement of the chain 122 drives the rotation of the main gear 113.
