Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, in particular to a device for cleaning skin and meat scraps remaining on a tortoise shell. Background Art
[0002] Tortoise shell, typically the carapace and plastron of a turtle, is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tortoises and tortoise shell processing companies often need to clean their shells to remove any remaining skin and flesh. Currently, this cleaning process is mostly manual, with workers using high-pressure spray guns to clean each shell individually. This is labor-intensive, inefficient, and results in poor environmental hygiene due to the splashing of skin and flesh. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a device capable of automatically cleaning tortoise shells.
[0004] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is: a tortoise shell cleaning device, characterized by comprising a first mesh conveyor belt for conveying tortoise shells, a pressing device for pressing the tortoise shells onto the first mesh conveyor belt, and a high-pressure spray gun for spraying the tortoise shells, wherein the water pressure of the high-pressure spray gun is not less than 150kg / cm 2 .
[0005] On the basis of the above, it also includes a water curtain device for flushing the tortoise shell after being sprayed with a high-pressure spray gun.
[0006] On the basis of the above, it also includes an air drying device for drying water droplets on the surface of the tortoise shell.
[0007] On the basis of the above, the pressing device is a second mesh conveyor belt that runs synchronously above the first mesh conveyor belt, wherein the lower conveyor belt of the second mesh conveyor belt is configured to naturally fall so as to press the tortoise shell onto the first mesh conveyor belt.
[0008] On the basis of the above, the high-pressure spray gun is configured to move back and forth transversely to the first mesh conveyor belt.
[0009] The beneficial effects brought about by adopting the present invention are as follows: the tortoise shell cleaning device of the present invention can automatically clean the tortoise shell, has a good cleaning effect, can effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers, improve work efficiency, and greatly improve the sanitation problem of the working environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0010] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the tortoise shell cleaning device of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] like Figure 1As shown, a tortoise shell cleaning device is characterized by comprising a first mesh conveyor belt 1 for conveying tortoise shells, a pressing device for pressing the tortoise shells onto the first mesh conveyor belt, and a high-pressure spray gun 2 for spraying the tortoise shells, wherein the water pressure of the high-pressure spray gun 2 is not less than 150kg / cm 2 The tortoise shell is placed on the first mesh conveyor belt 1, and then the pressing device presses the tortoise shell forward. During the conveying process, the high-pressure spray gun uses a water pressure of not less than 150kg / cm 2 The water flow washes over the tortoise shell, washing away the skin edges and meat residues stuck to the tortoise shell.
[0012] It is known that the first mesh conveyor belt is a conventional conveyor belt with mesh or mesh on its surface, which can carry the tortoise shell while allowing water to flow through. Preferably, a stainless steel mesh belt can be used. The pressing device adopts a conventional contact-type pressing method, which uses external force or deadweight to press the tortoise shell onto the first mesh conveyor belt 1, so that the tortoise shell can withstand the scouring of high-pressure water flow. In this embodiment, a second mesh conveyor belt 3 that runs synchronously with the first mesh conveyor belt 1 is used as a pressing device. It is arranged above the first mesh conveyor belt 1 and its running direction is opposite to that of the first mesh conveyor belt 1. The second mesh conveyor belt 3 cannot be tightened and is adjusted to a loose state so that the lower conveyor belt naturally falls. The deadweight of the falling conveyor belt is used to press the tortoise shell onto the first mesh conveyor belt 1, and it can follow the forward conveying. At the same time, the naturally falling conveyor belt can also adapt to the pressing of tortoise shells of different heights. Preferably, the second mesh conveyor belt 3 can also be made of a stainless steel mesh belt.
[0013] Usually, after the tortoise shells have been sprayed with a high-pressure spray gun, some debris will still be stuck to them. Therefore, a water curtain device 4 can be installed to rinse the tortoise shells, so that the tortoise shells can be cleaned more thoroughly. Furthermore, an air drying device 5 can be installed to dry the water droplets on the tortoise shell surface.
[0014] To further improve processing efficiency, the high-pressure spray gun 2 can use multiple gun heads arranged in a dot matrix, and is configured to reciprocate transversely to the first mesh conveyor belt 1. The movement mode can be linear reciprocating motion or reciprocating swinging motion. As for the drive mechanism, it is a conventional design for those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail. The high-pressure spray gun 2 can be located above or below the first mesh conveyor belt 1. The orientation of the back of the tortoise shell needs to be adjusted accordingly. It is only necessary to turn the inner surface of the tortoise shell toward the side of the high-pressure spray gun 2.
[0015] Of course, the periphery of the tortoise shell cleaning device of the present invention should be equipped with a water-proof and sealed panel to prevent water and debris from splashing and polluting the environment. A water collecting tank can also be installed at the bottom to cooperate with the filtering circulation system to further achieve the purpose of water saving.
