[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, consumers' preference for high-protein, high-nutrition shrimp products has also been increasing, which has greatly promoted the rapid development of the aquatic products industry. The huge population demand in my country has also put forward more urgent demands for industrial upgrading in the aquatic product processing industry.

[0003] In the current aquatic product industry, in the automated processing of shrimp bodies, it is necessary to use various processing mechanisms on the assembly line to realize automated mechanical processing such as cleaning, shelling, deveining, delegating, and sorting of shrimp bodies one by one. However, the inventors have found through research that the existing automated processing of shrimp bodies does not take into account the shape characteristics of the shrimp bodies themselves. In the actual processing process, the shape of some shrimp bodies is too curved and difficult to feed, which is not conducive to the subsequent automated processing of the shrimp bodies, resulting in the processing accuracy being affected, and ultimately the processing effect of the shrimp bodies is poor. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a shrimp body processing device and a shrimp body processing system, which fully consider the influence of the bending shape of the shrimp body during the automated processing of the shrimp body, and optimize the subsequent automated processing process of the shrimp body by constructing a shrimp body processing device capable of squeezing and flattening the bent shrimp body, thereby ensuring the processing effect of the shrimp body.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a shrimp body processing device, including: a frame, a processing mechanism and a power mechanism;

[0006] The frame includes two fixing plates arranged opposite to each other;

[0007] The processing mechanism comprises at least one group of roller parts, and the roller parts comprise two brush rollers arranged opposite to each other; the two brush rollers are arranged between the two fixed plates so as to be relatively rotatable;

[0008] A long groove is formed on the brush strip of each brush roller along the length direction of the brush roller, and the long grooves on the two brush rollers arranged opposite to each other are symmetrically distributed;

[0009] The power mechanism includes a power input sprocket and at least two synchronous gears; the power input sprocket is arranged at one end of any one of the brush rollers, and the power input sprocket is connected to an external driving motor through a corresponding rotating shaft; the other end of each of the brush rollers is provided with a corresponding synchronous gear.

[0012] As one of the preferred solutions, the frame further includes a baffle connecting the two fixing plates; the baffle is arranged on the top circumference side of the brush roller along the length direction of the brush roller.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the length of the long groove is 150 mm.

[0014] As a preferred solution, the width of the long groove is 10 mm.

[0029] An embodiment of the present invention provides a shrimp body processing device, for details, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a shrimp body processing device in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of a single brush roller in one embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 A schematic cross-sectional view of a group of rollers processing a bent shrimp body in one embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the shrimp body processing device comprises: a frame, a processing mechanism and a power mechanism;

[0030] The frame includes two relatively arranged fixing plates ( Figure 1 Shown in the figure are the fixing plate 1 on the left and the fixing plate 1' on the right);

[0031] The processing mechanism includes at least one set of roller members ( Figure 1 Two groups of roller members are shown in FIG. 2 , namely, a first roller member 21 and a second roller member 22 , wherein the roller member includes two brush rollers ( Figure 1Only one brush roller can be seen in the middle due to the viewing angle and the baffle); the two brush rollers are relatively rotatably arranged between the two fixed plates (that is, arranged between the fixed plate 1 and the fixed plate 1');

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, each brush roller includes a bristle inserting base 211 and a bristle brush strip 212 arranged on the bristle inserting base 211, and a long groove along the length direction of the brush roller is opened on the brush strip 212 of each brush roller, and the long grooves on the two oppositely arranged brush rollers are symmetrically distributed (i.e. Figure 3 The first elongated groove 213 and the second elongated groove 213');

[0033] The power mechanism includes a power input sprocket 31 and at least two synchronous gears 32; the power input sprocket 31 is arranged at one end of any of the brush rollers, and the power input sprocket 31 is connected to an external driving motor through a corresponding rotating shaft; the other end of each of the brush rollers is provided with a corresponding synchronous gear 32.

[0034] It should be noted that in the process of automated processing of shrimp bodies, different shrimps have different shape characteristics. Some shrimps, such as mantis shrimp, have a smaller degree of curvature, which has little impact on subsequent feeding and precision processing. However, other species, such as red shrimp, prawns, and hair shrimp, have a larger degree of curvature, which will have an unpredictable impact on subsequent automated processing, resulting in a poor processing effect on the shrimp bodies. In view of this, the embodiment of the present invention constructs a shrimp body processing device that can flatten a curved shrimp body. The basic principle is to set a accommodating space (i.e., a long groove) for the shrimp body to deform in two brush rollers. When the two brush rollers rotate relative to each other, a larger squeezing effect is generated on the curved shrimp body, causing it to deform in the accommodating space, and finally forming a flattened shrimp body.

[0035] In order to achieve the flattening effect on the bent shrimp body, the working process of the processing device in this embodiment is preferably: the two fixed plates of the frame are placed vertically, the upper part of the frame is provided with an opening for receiving and processing the bent shrimp body, at least one set of roller members is provided between the two fixed plates, the two brush rollers of the roller member can rotate relatively and be placed in parallel, and the brush strips of each brush roller are provided with long grooves, and the long grooves on the two brush rollers arranged opposite to each other are symmetrically distributed ( Figure 3The first long groove 213 on the left and the second long groove 213' on the right are shown in the figure, and an opening for outputting the processed shrimp body is provided under the frame; when the shrimp feeding device transfers the bent shrimp body to be processed to the top of the frame, the bent shrimp body falls horizontally into the device under the action of gravity. Preferably, the bent shrimp body is U-shaped, with a curved shrimp back at one end and a pointed shrimp head and shrimp tail at the other end. When the bent shrimp body falls into the roller member, the curved shrimp back falls into the long groove of the brush roller on one side, and the pointed shrimp head and shrimp tail fall into the long groove of the brush roller on the other side. As the two brush rollers rotate relative to each other, the curved shrimp body is squeezed, the curved shrimp back is flattened in the corresponding long groove, and the pointed shrimp head and shrimp tail move in opposite directions in the corresponding long groove, finally achieving the effect of processing and flattening a single curved shrimp body.

[0036] In addition, in order to improve the processing effect on the bent shrimp body, the number of roller members can be set to multiple groups. Preferably, in one embodiment, the number of roller members is two groups, namely, a first roller member 21 close to the upper part of the frame and a second roller member 22 close to the lower part of the frame. When the bent shrimp body to be processed falls into the shrimp body processing device, it is first processed and flattened by the first roller member 21, and then falls into the second roller member 22, and the shrimp body is processed by the second roller member 22. Through two processing actions, the flattening effect of the bent shrimp body is further guaranteed.

[0037] In the above embodiment, since two groups of rollers are provided, the power mechanism needs to ensure the driving effect of each roller. Preferably, according to the transmission principle, a driving sprocket 33, a chain 34 and a passive sprocket 35 are additionally provided; Figure 1 In the figure, one end of the brush roller (shown as the brush roller near the outer side of the second roller member 22) is provided with a driving sprocket 33 in addition to a power input sprocket 31 for receiving the external force of the driving motor; in the other group of roller members, a corresponding brush roller ( Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a passive sprocket 35 is provided at one end of the first roller member 21 (the brush roller close to the outer side), and the active sprocket 33 is connected to the passive sprocket 35 through a chain 34. Since a synchronous gear 32 is provided at the other end of each brush roller, the corresponding rotation of the four brush rollers in the two groups of roller members can be achieved through the driving action of the driving motor, thereby optimizing the power input source of the entire device.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the frame further includes a baffle connecting the two fixed plates; the baffle is arranged on the top circumference of the brush roller along the length direction of the brush roller. When the bent shrimp body falls into the frame under the action of gravity, the shrimp body may be ejected to the outside of the device due to the rotation of the brush roller. Therefore, by arranging a baffle on the top circumference of the brush roller, it is ensured that the shrimp body to be processed will not be ejected to the outside of the device, and it is ensured that it can normally fall into the roller member for work. Preferably, the number of baffles needs to correspond to the number of roller members. In this embodiment, since two groups of roller members are provided, the baffles include baffles 11 for protecting the normal operation of the first roller member 21, and baffles 11' for protecting the normal operation of the second roller member 22 (the number of baffles 11 is preferably two front and rear pieces, and the number of baffles 11' is preferably two front and rear pieces. Of course, the number of baffles needs to be determined according to the specific installation position of the processing device and the cost requirements of the product).

[0039] In the actual processing, considering that the size, length and other parameters of different types of shrimps are different, the shape and size of the long groove on the brush roller can be adjusted accordingly according to the actual processing requirements, so that it can not only adapt to the different shrimp body shape characteristics, but also achieve a better processing flattening effect. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the long groove is a U-shaped groove, the length of the long groove is 150mm, the width of the long groove is 10mm, and the angle formed by the long groove and the brush axis of the brush roller is preferably in the range of 10° to 20°.

[0040] Since shrimps are soft, in order not to affect the taste after processing, in this embodiment, the brush strips 212 of the brush roller are preferably plastic brush strips. Of course, brush strips of other materials can also be set according to different types of shrimps and actual processing requirements.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the bristles of the plastic brush strip are evenly and densely distributed.

[0042] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a shrimp body processing system, comprising a shrimp feeding device, a conveyor belt device and the shrimp body processing device as described above;

[0043] The shrimp feeding port of the shrimp feeding device is arranged at the top of the shrimp body processing device, and is used to introduce the bent shrimp bodies to be processed into the shrimp body processing device for processing and flattening; the conveyor belt device is arranged at the bottom of the shrimp body processing device, and is used to receive the flattened shrimp bodies after processing from the shrimp body processing device, thereby achieving uniform feeding on the conveyor belt.

[0044] The shrimp body processing device and shrimp body processing system provided by the embodiment of the present invention have the beneficial effect that a processing device composed of a processing mechanism and a power mechanism cooperating with each other is constructed in a frame, wherein the roller part bears the important role of flattening the bent shrimp body. When the bent shrimp body falls horizontally into two brush rollers arranged opposite to each other, one side of the bent shrimp body falls into a long groove on one brush roller, and the other side of the bent shrimp body falls into a long groove on another brush roller. Through the relative rotation of the two brush rollers, the bent shrimp body is squeezed in the long groove, and then presents a flattened state, and finally achieves the flattening effect of processing a single bent shrimp body; the power mechanism bears the important role of transmitting power, by providing rotational power to a single brush roller, combined with the transmission effect of the synchronous gear, so that all the brush rollers in the processing device can rotate accordingly. The entire shrimp body processing device has a reasonable structure, the various mechanisms work together, and the degree of automation is high, which can achieve the effect of flattening the bent shrimp body, thereby optimizing the subsequent automated processing process of the shrimp body and ensuring the processing effect of the shrimp body.

[0045] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
