Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a shrimp body placing device. Background Art

[0002] Shrimp is extremely nutritious and has a very high nutritional value for the human body. Shrimp contains 20% protein, which is one of the foods with a high protein content, several times or even dozens of times that of fish, eggs, and milk; shrimp contains glycine, an amino acid with a very high content; compared with fish and poultry, it has less fat content and almost no animal sugar as an energy source; shrimp has a high cholesterol content and is rich in taurine that can lower human serum cholesterol; shrimp is rich in trace elements such as potassium, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin A. Its meat is soft and easy to digest, and it is an excellent food for people who are weak or need to recuperate after illness. Shrimp is rich in magnesium, which has an important regulatory effect on heart activity and can protect the cardiovascular system well. It can reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, prevent arteriosclerosis, and dilate the coronary artery, which is beneficial for preventing hypertension and myocardial infarction.

[0003] Even though transportation is relatively developed now, the transportation cost of live shrimp is still very high. Therefore, many shrimp processing companies use fresh shrimp as raw materials. After removing the shrimp heads, shells and intestines, they can get shrimp meat, which is further processed into frozen shrimp meat and frozen shrimp products.

[0004] At present, there are two main types of shrimp processing equipment in the domestic processing industry. One is to peel the shell by the principle of roller rotation and grinding. The headless shrimp is placed between two pairs of rollers without precise positioning. The rollers rotate and grind the shrimp shells repeatedly to loosen the shrimp shells and are taken away by the rollers, leaving the shrimp meat. The disadvantages are that the raw materials need to be soaked and pre-treated for a long time, the shelling is not clean, and the yield is low. The other is a semi-automatic shelling machine, which manually places the headless shrimps one by one in the conveyor belt tray slot, so that the shrimp back or shrimp belly faces up, and then sends them into the machine. The conveying device is used to make the headless shrimps pass through various functional stations such as positioning and clamping, opening the back, peeling the shells, and removing the intestines one by one, and finally the processed shrimp meat is obtained. It can be seen that the existing processing equipment cannot realize the automatic directional placement of the shrimp body, and the processing efficiency is low, resulting in a small application range of the existing shrimp peeling machinery and equipment, and it cannot be promoted on a large scale.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a second support frame is further included, which is located at the rear side of the first support frame. The second support frame is provided with a second channel for the conveyor belt to pass through. When the conveyor belt passes through the second channel, both sides of the conveyor belt are bent upward relative to each other to extend the length of the conveying trough.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the longitudinal sections of the first channel and the second channel are U-shaped, so that both sides of the conveyor belt are bent upward by 90°.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a shrimp body placing device, including a bottom plate 1, a conveying driving member 2, a first conveying shaft 3, a second conveying shaft 4, a conveyor belt 5, a first support frame 6 and a vibration mechanism 7, wherein the conveying driving member 2 is used to provide a driving force, the first conveying shaft 3 is connected to the output end of the conveying driving member 2, and is installed on the bottom plate 1, the second conveying shaft 4 is installed on the bottom plate 1, the conveyor belt 5 is transmission-connected to the first conveying shaft 3 and the second conveying shaft 4, the first support frame 6 is installed on the bottom plate 1, the first support frame 6 is provided with a first channel 61 for the conveyor belt 5 to pass through, when the conveyor belt 5 passes through the first channel 61, the two sides of the conveyor belt 5 are bent upward relative to each other, so that the upper surface of the conveyor belt 5 forms a conveying groove 51, and the vibration mechanism 7 is provided on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 5 and is located at the inlet end of the conveying groove 51.

[0029] In the shrimp placing device based on the above technical features, the first conveying shaft 3 and the second conveying shaft 4 are arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the conveying driving member 2 is used to drive the conveying belt 5 for conveying. The conveying belt 5 is relatively bent upward through the first channel 61 of the first supporting frame 6 to form a conveying trough 51. When the shrimp enters the area before the conveying trough 51, the shrimp is vibrated by the vibration mechanism 7 to adjust the placement position. Because the weight of the shrimp back is relatively large, and under the action of gravity, the shrimp gradually enters the conveying trough 51 with the back facing down and the belly facing up, and then the conveying trough 51 clamps the shrimp after the position is adjusted and transports it to each functional station, without manual placement, which greatly improves the processing efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vibration mechanism 7 includes a vibration plate 71, a vibrator 72 and a spring 73. The upper surface of the vibration plate 71 is in contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt 5. The vibrator 72 is arranged on the lower surface of the vibration plate 71. One end of the spring 73 is connected to the vibration plate 71, and the other end of the spring 73 is connected to the bottom plate 1. The spring 73 plays a mounting role for the vibration plate 71. When the vibrator 72 drives the vibration plate 71 to vibrate, the spring 73 provides the vibration plate 71 with an up and down swinging space, thereby driving the conveyor belt 5 to shake up and down. Under the action of the vibration, the shrimp body gradually leans against the inlet end of the conveying trough 51 with its back at the bottom and its belly at the top. Among them, the conveyor belt 5 is divided into an upper conveying section and a lower conveying section. The conveyor belt 5 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and conveying is achieved by relying on the friction between the objects to be processed and the upper surface of the upper conveying section of the conveyor belt 5. The first support frame 6 is located in the upper conveying section of the conveyor belt 5, so that the upper conveying section of the conveyor belt 5 is bent into a conveying trough 51. The vibration mechanism 7 is located between the upper conveying section and the lower conveying section of the conveyor belt 5 to vibrate the inlet end of the conveying trough 51.

[0031] In this embodiment, the vibration mechanism 7 also includes a support plate 74, which is arranged between the vibration plate 71 and the conveyor belt 5. A fixed groove 75 is provided on the support plate 74. The width of the fixed groove 75 gradually decreases from the side away from the conveyor groove 51 to the other side close to the conveyor groove 51, and the height of the fixed groove 75 gradually increases from the side away from the conveyor groove 51 to the other side close to the conveyor groove 51, so that the fixed groove 75 is adapted to the transition area where the conveyor belt 5 is bent from a plane to the conveyor groove 51. After the shrimp body is vibrated in this area, it is gradually placed in a state where the shrimp belly faces upward and enters the conveyor groove 51.

[0032] In this embodiment, the vibration mechanism 7 also includes a connecting block 76, and the connecting block 76 is arranged between the support plate 74 and the vibration plate 71. Because the support plate 74 forms an irregularly shaped fixing groove 75, in order to ensure that various parts of the support plate 74 have the same vibration amplitude, the connecting block 76 is used for transition connection, that is, the height of the connecting block 76 away from the first support frame 6 is higher, and the height of the connecting block 76 close to the first support frame 6 is lower.

[0033] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shrimp body placing device also includes a second support frame 8, the second support frame 8 is located at the rear side of the first support frame 6, and the second support frame 8 is provided with a second channel 81 for the conveyor belt 5 to pass through. When the conveyor belt 5 passes through the second channel 81, the two sides of the conveyor belt 5 are bent upwards relative to each other to extend the length of the conveying trough 51. The longitudinal sections of the first channel 61 and the second channel 81 are U-shaped, so that the two sides of the conveyor belt 5 are bent upwards by 90°, so that the side walls of the first channel 61 and the second channel 81 have a limiting effect on the conveyor belt 5, so that the two sides of the conveyor belt 5 are bent upwards relative to each other to form a conveying trough 51 with a certain length, and the conveying trough 51 formed by bending 90° forms a clamping effect on the shrimp body, so that the shrimp body is kept in a vertical state with the shrimp belly facing upward in the conveying trough 51 for conveying, and the clamping conveying of the shrimp body is realized.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are multiple conveyor belts 5, and the conveyor belts 5 are arranged parallel to each other. The number of the first support frames 6 and the number of the second support frames 8 are consistent with the number of the conveyor belts 5. The multiple conveyor belts 5 are used to transport the shrimp bodies, and one vibration mechanism 7 is used to act on the multiple conveyor belts 5 at the same time, so that the shrimp bodies on the multiple conveyor belts 5 can be placed and transported, which greatly improves the processing efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, the vibration plate 71 is arranged across the two sides of each of the conveyor belts 5, and the springs 73 are arranged on the two sides of the vibration plate 71. In the case of multiple conveyor belts 5, the width of the vibration plate 71 is greater than the sum of the widths of all the conveyor belts 5, so that the two sides of the vibration plate 71 extend outward, and the two sides of the vibration plate 71 are connected to the bottom plate 1 through the springs 73, so that the vibration plate 71 drives the multiple conveyor belts 5 to vibrate. Specifically, there are four springs 73, and each of the springs 73 is arranged at the four corners of the vibration plate 71 to ensure the stability of the vibration plate 71 during the vibration process.

[0036] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the shrimp body placing device also includes a first mounting plate 9 and a second mounting plate 10, the first mounting plate 9 is arranged across the two sides of each conveyor belt 5, and in the case of multiple conveyor belts 5, the width of the first mounting plate 9 is greater than the sum of the widths of all conveyor belts 5, each first support frame 6 is arranged at the top of the first mounting plate 9, the bottom end of the first mounting plate 9 is connected to the bottom plate 1, the first mounting plate 9 is in the shape of a "J", and the first mounting plate 9 is located between the upper conveying section and the lower conveying section of the conveyor belt 5 to support and install each first support frame 6. Similarly, the second mounting plate 10 is arranged across the two sides of each conveyor belt 5, and in the case of multiple conveyor belts 5, the width of the second mounting plate 10 is greater than the sum of the widths of all conveyor belts 5, each second support frame 8 is arranged at the top of the second mounting plate 10, the bottom end of the second mounting plate 10 is connected to the bottom plate 1, the second mounting plate 10 is in the shape of a "J", and the second mounting plate 10 is located between the upper conveying section and the lower conveying section of the conveyor belt 5 to support and install each second support frame 8. Furthermore, each of the conveyor belts 2 is distributed in an array along the axis of the first conveyor shaft 3 and the axis of the second conveyor shaft 4, and the sides of two adjacent conveyor belts 2 abut against each other on the first conveyor shaft 3 and the second conveyor shaft 4, thereby playing a mutual alignment role and preventing the conveyor belts 2 from deviating during the conveying process.

[0037] In this embodiment, both ends of the first conveying shaft 3 and both ends of the second conveying shaft 4 are mounted on the bottom plate 1 through rotating bearings 11 to realize the rotation of the first conveying shaft 3 and the second conveying shaft 4 .

[0038] The working principle of the shrimp body placing device described in this embodiment is: the shrimp bodies are placed flat on each of the conveyor belts 5, and the shrimp bodies are in a naturally bent shape. When the shrimp bodies are conveyed to the inlet end of the conveying trough 51, they are subjected to the vibration force transmitted to the conveyor belt 5 by the vibrator 72, so that the shrimp bodies themselves vibrate. Under the action of gravity, the shrimp bodies are in a state of the shrimp backs at the bottom and the shrimp bellies at the top, leaning against the inlet end of the conveying trough 51. As the conveyor belt 5 is transported into the conveying trough 51, the conveying trough 51 clamps the shrimp bodies and keeps them in a state of the shrimp bellies facing up, and conveys them to various functional stations.

[0039] In summary, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention provide a shrimp body placement device having the following advantages: (1) the vibrator 72 is used to provide vibration force for the conveyor belt 5, so that the shrimp bodies are placed in a state with the shrimp back at the bottom and the shrimp belly facing upward during the vibration process to enter the conveying trough 51, without the need for manual placement, thereby improving processing efficiency; (2) the first support frame 6 and the second support frame 8 are used to form the conveying trough 51 of the conveyor belt 5 to keep the shrimp bodies in a state with the shrimp belly facing upward for transportation; (3) the vibration mechanism 7 can act on multiple conveyor belts 5 at the same time, further improving its processing efficiency.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
