1. A shrimp peeling device, comprising:
a frame;
a driving member configured to provide a driving force and mounted on the frame;
a first conveying wheel connected to an output end of the driving member and mounted on the frame;
a second conveying wheel mounted on the frame;
a conveying belt in transmission connection with the first conveying wheel and the second conveying wheel;
a clamping frame provided with a first pathway for the conveying belt to pass through from back to front, a processing opening communicated with the first pathway being formed in a top end of the clamping frame, wherein when the conveying belt passes through the first pathway, two sides of the conveying belt are bent upward towards each other to clamp and convey a shrimp in a vertical state;
a cutting assembly provided at the processing opening and extending into the first pathway to open a back or an abdomen of the shrimp clamped by the conveying belt; and
a shell removing frame located on a front side of the clamping frame and provided with a second pathway for the conveying belt to pass through from back to front, the second pathway comprising a limiting cavity and a narrowing cavity sequentially communicated from back to front, the narrowing cavity being narrower than the limiting cavity, a discharge port being formed in a top end of the shell removing frame, and the discharge port being located at a connection position between the limiting cavity and the narrowing cavity and communicated with the limiting cavity, wherein when the conveying belt passes through the connection position between the limiting cavity and the narrowing cavity, the narrowing cavity narrows the conveying belt to squeeze the shrimp to obtain shrimp meat outputted through the discharge port and a shrimp shell carried away through the conveying belt.
