Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a crayfish primary processing device, specifically a fully automatic crayfish primary processing device that utilizes a grooved wheel mechanism to drive four rotary indexing modules to work in multiple positions, and through the radial movement of the rotary indexing modules, works in conjunction with a cutting module, a tail clamping module, and a sweeping rod to complete the removal of the head and tail. Background Technology

[0002] Current crayfish primary processing relies mainly on manual labor, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and struggles to guarantee consistency and hygiene. Existing mechanical processing equipment is generally single-function, lacking synchronous continuous processing mechanisms. Material transfer between workstations requires manual intervention or additional conveying, resulting in inconsistent cycle times, easy damage to the crayfish meat, and complex equipment structures that are difficult to maintain. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a crayfish primary processing device that can achieve full automation of head removal, tail removal, and devein removal, synchronous coordination of multiple workstations, and stable processing quality. This invention, in the field of automated food processing technology, innovatively proposes a crayfish primary processing device. This device uses a stepped-drive rotary indexing module via a grooved wheel mechanism. The rotary indexing module moves radially, coordinating with the cutting module to complete head cutting, with the tail clamping module to complete tail separation, and with the sweeping rod to complete finished product unloading and collection, achieving fully automated operation.
