Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of seafood processing equipment, and in particular relates to an automated primary processing line equipment for living sea cucumbers and a processing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, people have been seeking various nutritional products rich in beneficial ingredients. Sea cucumbers are an echinoderm that lives from the seashore to 8,000 meters deep on the seabed. They are highly favored because they are rich in various trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. With their unique nutritional value and medicinal value, they have become a traditional precious marine delicacy in my country. The domestic sea cucumber farming industry has developed rapidly.

[0003] During the initial processing of sea cucumbers, they need to be deveined. However, existing methods for deveining sea cucumbers are very primitive and rely on manual processing: A wallpaper knife or scissors is used to cut open the sea cucumber's abdomen and remove the internal organs. Due to the instability of manual operation, the size of the incision on the sea cucumber's abdomen varies. If the incision is too large, the incision will turn outward after the sea cucumber is cooked, resulting in a lower appearance and affecting the sales price. If the incision is too small, the internal organs cannot be removed, and the abdomen will swell after cooking, resulting in defective or waste products. Secondly, using wallpaper knives or scissors can easily injure workers' hands, posing a safety hazard and causing work-related injuries. Manual operation is inefficient, with each person cutting about 15 pieces per minute. Increasing production capacity requires a large number of additional workers, which will increase costs. Since some seawater and internal organs will flow onto the ground during manual deveining, it can also cause a dirty, messy, and poor environment, and substandard hygiene.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the processing efficiency of sea cucumber deveining and realize industrial automated production, and urgently need to design a production line equipment for automated processing of live sea cucumbers, is a topic studied by technicians in this field.

A transmission system is installed on the base plate. The transmission system includes a motor, a main transmission shaft, a main transmission synchronous belt, a threaded shaft, and a threaded shaft synchronous belt. The motor drives the threaded shaft to rotate. A funnel, a partition, a shield, and a side plate are arranged on the upper part of the transmission system, and three slides are arranged at the end of the threaded shaft.

[0012] Every four threaded shafts form a conveying channel for sea cucumbers, with a total of 4 channels and 16 threaded shafts. Every four threaded shafts form a V-shaped channel and rotate outward to convey sea cucumbers. The sea cucumbers are also sorted during the transportation process. Sea cucumbers are usually transported in refrigerated conditions, and their shapes are very irregular. In this processing part, the length of the threaded shaft is about 2 meters. As the threaded shaft channel rotates, the sea cucumbers are gradually softened and become long strips.

[0013] Among them, the threaded shaft channels on both sides correspond to a slideway respectively, and the two channels in the middle are combined to correspond to a slideway in the middle, with a total of three slideways.

[0019] During the conveying process of the net chain, the sea cucumbers on the net chain are manually observed and the sea cucumbers with the abdomen facing upwards are turned over to face downwards.

[0020] The sea cucumber forward and reverse sorting machine includes four workstations, and four people stand opposite each other on both sides. The sea cucumbers processed in the previous part enter the second, third and fourth channels in sequence (corresponding to the three slides of the sea cucumber first-level sorting machine). The worker at the first workstation turns the sea cucumbers on the short net chain in the front half of the second channel onto the long net chain in the first channel, and the worker at the second workstation opposite turns the sea cucumbers on the short net chain in the front half of the fourth channel onto the long net chain in the fifth channel. The workers at the third and fourth workstations jointly process the sea cucumbers on the long net chain in the third channel. The worker at the third workstation turns the sea cucumbers on the long net chain in the third channel onto the short net chain in the second half of the second channel, and the worker at the fourth workstation turns the sea cucumbers on the long net chain in the third channel onto the short net chain in the second half of the fourth channel. The four workers divide the work and cooperate with each other, which greatly improves efficiency.

[0021] The living sea cucumbers are transported to the network chain of this part by the sea cucumber state processing machine in the previous step. Workers at four workstations observe and sort the sea cucumbers, turning the sea cucumbers with their abdomens facing up to face down. Finally, after the four workers sort the sea cucumbers, they are divided into four channels and enter the next part.

[0024] The other end of the lane dividing plate is connected to the hinge, the hinge is connected to the slide rail, and the slide rail is connected to the fixed shaft.

[0025] The cylinder, through the cylinder connecting rod and the fixed slide, causes the dividing plate to swing left and right along the slide shaft through the linear bearing under the drive of the fixed slide. The other end of the dividing plate also moves with the hinge and the slide rail, allowing the dividing plate to swing smoothly left and right. The dividing plate is provided with eight pieces, divided into four lanes, and through left and right swing, eight lanes of sea cucumbers can be transported.

[0026] The living sea cucumbers are transported to the flat belt of this section by the sea cucumber forward and reverse sorting machine in the previous step. The flat belt is driven by the motor to transport the sea cucumbers forward. At the same time, the dividing device divides the sea cucumbers into eight lanes from four lanes, and then enters the next processing section.

[0027] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0028] The sea cucumber differential machine is used to achieve synchronous advancement of eight sea cucumbers, including a frame, on which a first motor, a second motor, a transmission shaft, and a driven shaft are arranged. Eight groups of network chains are arranged on the upper part of the frame, and partitions are arranged on the upper part between each group of network chains. Beams for fixing the partitions are arranged between the partitions. The first motor drives the first, third, fifth, and seventh groups of network chains to operate respectively, and the second motor drives the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth groups of network chains to operate respectively, thereby achieving synchronous operation of the eight groups of network chain channels.

[0029] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0030] The sea cucumber aligning machine is used to align the sea cucumbers in eight channels, and includes a frame. The frame is provided with a motor, a conveyor belt, a main pulley, a synchronous belt, a driven pulley, a tensioner, and a transmission shaft.

A motor, a main transmission shaft, a synchronous pulley, an adjustable driven shaft, and eight groups of baffle mesh chains are arranged on the frame. The motor drives the eight groups of baffle mesh chains to operate synchronously through the main transmission shaft, the synchronous pulley, and the adjustable driven shaft in sequence. An adjustable partition is arranged above the baffle mesh chain, and the adjustable partition is provided with a partition beam for fixing. There is a gap between the adjustable partition and the baffle mesh chain; eight slides are arranged at the output end of the baffle mesh chain for sliding the sea cucumbers to the next processing device.

[0033] Live sea cucumbers are transported from the sea cucumber leveling machine in the previous step to the eight sets of net chains in this section. Driven by a motor, these chains transport the sea cucumbers. Adjustable baffles compress the sea cucumbers' width, facilitating their entry into the trays below. The width between the baffles is adjustable, depending on the size of the sea cucumbers. Baffles are installed on the baffled net chains to prevent them from shifting during the process, blocking them from front and back. The distance between the two baffles is roughly the length of the sea cucumber. Once the sea cucumbers are aligned and compressed, they are accurately placed into the trays in the next section by eight slides.

[0034] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0035] The sea cucumber cutting machine is used for accurately dissecting the abdomen of sea cucumbers and removing internal organs, and comprises a frame, a sea cucumber box holding device installed on the frame, a mechanical pressing device, a hook knife group cutting device, and a sea cucumber internal organs collecting device.

[0036] The sea cucumber box holding device includes a servo motor, a main shaft, a chain, and a box holding group. The servo motor is connected to the main shaft, the main shaft is connected to the chain, and the chain is connected to the box holding group. The servo motor drives the main shaft and the chain in sequence, thereby driving the box holding group to operate.

[0037] The mechanical clamping device, used to compress and secure sea cucumbers, comprises a first fixed plate, on which are mounted a motor, a first synchronous pulley, a second synchronous pulley, a tensioner, a transmission shaft, a cam-link mechanism, and a synchronous belt disposed between the first and second synchronous pulleys.

The cam-link mechanism comprises a cam plate, a connecting rod, a slide rail, and a slider connected to the pressure block connecting plate. The motor drives the transmission shaft, which in turn drives the cam-link mechanism. The movement of the cam-link mechanism drives the pressure block to intermittently move up and down. This device is used to compress and secure sea cucumbers to be cut open in a tray.

[0038] The hook knife group cutting device includes a second fixed plate and a base. A servo motor, a bearing seat, a motor slide, and an adjustment handwheel are arranged on the second fixed plate. A longitudinal adjustment device is arranged on the base. It also includes a hook knife shaft, a hook knife disc and a hook knife. Three hook knives are evenly distributed along the circumference of the hook knife disc. The hook knife disc is fixed on the hook knife shaft. The motor is connected to the bearing seat, and the bearing seat is connected to the hook knife shaft. The servo motor drives the hook knife disc to operate intermittently.

[0039] A third fixed plate is provided above the base, and a transverse adjustment rail and a longitudinal adjustment slider are provided on the third fixed plate. A transverse adjustment slider is provided on the transverse adjustment rail, and the transverse adjustment slider is connected to the bearing seat. A longitudinal adjustment rail is provided on the base, and the longitudinal adjustment slider is correspondingly slidably connected to the longitudinal adjustment rail.

[0040] Longitudinal adjustment of the hook cutter shaft: When the adjustment hand wheel is turned, the longitudinal adjustment device moves up and down, driving the longitudinal adjustment slider on the third fixed plate to move up and down along the longitudinal adjustment slide rail. The third fixed plate is also connected to the bearing seat, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the hook cutter shaft;

[0041] Lateral Adjustment of the Hook Cutter Shaft: The lateral adjustment slider moves left and right along the lateral adjustment rail, driving the left and right adjustment of the hook cutter shaft. Furthermore, this lateral adjustment rail is also used for repairing and replacing the hook cutter. If the hook cutter is damaged, the second fixing plate is removed and the hook cutter shaft is directly pulled out along the lateral adjustment rail for repair and replacement.

[0042] After adjusting the up, down, left and right positions of the hook knife shaft, the abdomen of the sea cucumber in the tray can be cut open.

[0043] The sea cucumber viscera collection device includes a fourth fixed plate, on which a motor and a brush shaft are arranged, on which eight groups of brushes are arranged, baffles are arranged on both sides of the brushes, and an viscera collection box is arranged at the lower part of the brushes, and a cleaning fork is arranged on the inner wall of one of the baffles for cleaning the viscera on the brush.

[0044] After the sea cucumber's abdomen is cut open, the internal organs will droop, and the brush in that part will brush the drooping internal organs away from the sea cucumber body. Some of the internal organs will fall directly into the internal organ collection box, and some of the internal organs will stick to the brush at this time. During the rotation of the brush shaft, the cleaning fork will clean them off and fall into the internal organ collection box.

[0045] The living sea cucumbers enter the tray group of this part from the sea cucumber secondary sorting machine in the previous step. The tray group is driven forward by the servo motor. When a row of tray groups reaches the position of the mechanical pressing device, it stops. The mechanical pressing device starts to press the sea cucumbers in the trays. At the same time, the hook knife group cutting device also starts to run, and the abdomen of the compressed sea cucumbers is cut open. The internal organs enter the internal organs collection box, and then the sea cucumbers in the next row of trays are dissected, and the process is repeated in sequence.

[0046] The method for processing sea cucumbers using the above-mentioned automated primary processing line equipment comprises the following steps:

[0047] 1) Put the sea cucumbers to be processed into the sea cucumber feeding elevator;

[0048] 2) Transport the sea cucumbers to the first-level sea cucumber sorting machine;

[0049] 3) The sea cucumbers after shape adjustment are transported to the sea cucumber state processing machine for softening;

[0050] 4) Then it is transported to the sea cucumber front and back sorting machine, where the front and back of the sea cucumbers are sorted manually, with the belly facing downwards;

[0051] 5) Then it enters the sea cucumber sorting machine, which divides the original four lanes into eight lanes;

[0052] 6) Then the sea cucumbers enter the sea cucumber differential machine, which makes the eight lanes of sea cucumbers move forward synchronously and keep them in basically the same position;

[0053] 7) Then enter the sea cucumber alignment machine to align the sea cucumbers;

[0054] 8) Then the sea cucumbers are transported to the secondary sorting machine with positioning function to sort the sea cucumbers into uniform width;

[0055] 9) Finally, ensure that the sea cucumber enters the tray of the sea cucumber cutting machine smoothly, cut open the abdomen of the sea cucumber, and remove the internal organs.

[0056] The main body of the live sea cucumber automated primary processing line equipment of the present invention is designed with stainless steel materials, and the power system adopts a high-efficiency servo motor as a power source.

[0057] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0058] Due to the primitive and backward processing methods of sea cucumbers in the past, the processing environment of sea cucumbers was poor, the efficiency was low, and it was difficult to meet market demand. After years of design optimization, multiple tests and field investigations, we finally successfully designed and manufactured this set of efficient and automated primary processing line equipment of the present invention. The equipment of the present invention improves work efficiency, reduces employment costs, and improves the working environment.

[0059] 1) Improved efficiency: After actual testing, this equipment can process 480 live sea cucumbers per minute. If the processing time is 10 hours a day, 288,000 sea cucumbers can be processed. The weight of a single sea cucumber is about 150-200 grams, and about 43.2-57.6 tons can be processed every day, which can replace the labor costs of more than 30 people.

[0060] 2) Quality improvement: This equipment can be used to set the incision size according to customer requirements, ensuring uniform incision of sea cucumbers, reducing the number of defective products, improving the appearance of sea cucumbers, and making them more competitive in the market;

[0061] 3) High safety: This equipment is automated cutting, so people cannot come into contact with blades and sharp objects, ensuring the personal safety of personnel;

[0062] 4) Improved environmental sanitation: This equipment is equipped with the function of collecting wastewater and waste materials, which greatly improves the sanitation of the site. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
