Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of snail meat production equipment, in particular to an automatic snail meat production and processing system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Snail is the common name of Annularia quadrigera, which is the whole body of Annularia quadrigera or other animals of the same genus. It lives in rivers, lakes, ponds and paddy fields; it mostly inhabits the water bottom with more humus and feeds on the epidermis of algae and other plants. It is distributed in most regions of China. Every 100 grams of snail meat contains 7.5 grams of protein, 0.6 grams of fat, 86 milligrams of cholesterol, 2 milligrams of niacin, 0.28 milligrams of riboflavin, 0.43 milligrams of vitamin E, 156 milligrams of calcium, 98 milligrams of phosphorus, 1.4 milligrams of iron, 75 milligrams of potassium, 10.27 milligrams of zinc, and 16.95 micrograms of selenium. According to the Chinese Herbal Medicine Dictionary, snail meat has the functions of clearing heat, promoting water and improving eyesight. When people eat snails, they usually remove the tail part and then cook them. When eating, they take the meat and remove the shell, which is troublesome and time-consuming. At present, there is no machine on the market that can separate the shell and meat of snails so that people can directly eat the meat of snails.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the invention patent with publication number CN 106922795 A discloses a snail shell meat separation equipment.

[0041] The working principle of the automatic snail meat production and processing system will be described below.

[0042] As Figures 1-7As shown, during use, the cleaning tank 2 continuously cleans the snails, the air pump 8 pumps the air in the separation cylinder to the inside of the cleaning tank 2 to form an aeration flow to clean the snails, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the snails. After cleaning, the two electric telescopic rods 501 on both sides of the filter screen 3 are activated and drive the filter screen 3 upwards, so that the filter screen 3 forms an arc structure and gathers the snails in the middle of the filter screen 3. Then, the other two electric telescopic rods 501 at the bottom end of the filter screen 3 are activated to move the filter screen 3 to correspond to the feed inlet. The electric telescopic rods 501 away from the feed inlet continuously output and form an inclined surface of the filter screen 3, thereby facilitating the transportation of the snails to the inside of the conveying cylinder 601. At the same time, the conveying motor 603 continuously operates and transports the snails to the inside of the separation cylinder through the feeding auger 602. The driving motor 704 continuously drives the support plate 705 to rotate. The support plate 705 drives the crushing roller 703 to rotate during rotation. The crushing roller 703 cooperates with the filter cylinder 702 to process the shell of the snail. The mesh structure of the filter cylinder 702 and the elastic material crushing sleeve on the outside of the crushing roller 703 can cooperate with each other to crush the snail shell twice. Avoid the decline of crushing efficiency caused by the smooth surface that is difficult to support the snail shell. When the driving motor 704 rotates forward, the ratchet 706 and the ratchet teeth 707 are separated. After the crushing operation is completed, the driving motor 704 reverses, the filter cylinder 702 and the crushing roller 703 reverse synchronously, and the snail meat in the filter cylinder 702 moves to the space between the filter cylinder 702 and the separation shell 701 under the action of centrifugal force. Under the continuous suction of the air pump 8, the snail meat is adsorbed on the adsorption holes on the inner wall of the separation shell 701. The continuously rotating filter cylinder 702 continuously rotates and sweeps the surface of the snail meat, and cleans the snail shell adhered to the surface of the snail meat. After the production and processing of the snail meat are completed, the snail meat can be collected.
