Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of snail soaking equipment, in particular to a snail soaking processing device. Background Art

[0002] Snails generally refer to terrestrial mollusks, most of which are herbivorous, with a few being carnivorous and omnivorous. Currently, there are over 2,000 known species of terrestrial mollusks in my country. A snail's body is soft and unsegmented, covered by a spiral shell. Its torso consists of a head, legs, and a visceral sac. Its head has two pairs of antennae, the rear pair being longer. Its mouth contains jaws and a file-like radula, which it uses for chewing and chopping food. Its ventral legs are flat, with a mucus-filled base, allowing it to glide across surfaces using muscle contractions. It breathes through lung-like tissue, with air entering through its spiracles.

[0003] When processing snails, it is necessary to remove impurities and mucus from their surfaces. Existing processing devices first place the snails in a cool place, fast for 1-2 days, and spray them with water to prevent them from drying out, so that the snails can excrete the debris. The snails, which have been resting, are then washed in clean water and immersed directly in 12% salt water. A cup of vinegar is added to the salt water, and the water is soaked for about half an hour. The salt water is then slowly stirred to allow impurities and mucus to float to the surface. The snails are then removed and rinsed in clean water to remove the mucus. However, due to the varying sizes of snails, the amount of mucus they carry varies, so existing processing devices cannot perform the required treatment. Furthermore, stirring with a stirring blade can easily damage the snail shells, destroying structures such as burrs and scales on the shells.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a snail soaking treatment device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a snail soaking treatment device, comprising:

[0041] Base 1, pre-placed on the ground;

[0042] A pre-cleaning component 2 is fixed to one side of the base 1 and is used to remove dirt from the surface of the snail shell;

[0043] A soaking assembly 3 is used to clean the upper end surface of the base 1;

[0044] A tumbling barrel 4 is rotatably disposed in the soaking assembly 3;

[0045] The conveying assembly 5 is installed in the soaking assembly 3 and is located on one side of the tumbling barrel 4;

[0046] A driving motor assembly 6 is fixed on a side of the soaking assembly 3 away from the pre-cleaning assembly 2 and is used to drive the tumbling barrel 4 and the conveying assembly 5; and

[0047] The material receiving box 7 is fixed on the upper end surface of the base 1 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the pre-cleaning component 2 includes:

[0049] Bracket 21;

[0050] A slag collecting bin 22 is fixed on the bracket 21;

[0051] The sieve plate 23 is slidably and tiltably arranged in the slag collecting bin 22;

[0052] A vibration motor 24 is fixed to the bracket 21, and one end of a connecting rod is fixed to the output end of the vibration motor 24, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the sieve plate 23, so as to make the sieve plate 23 slide back and forth along the tilt direction;

[0053] A spray bin 25 is fixed on the upper end surface of the slag collecting bin 22 and has a plurality of spray heads fixed therein; and

[0054] The guide plate 26 is fixed on the bracket 21 .

[0055] That is to say, the dirt on the surface of the snail shell can be cleaned through pre-cleaning to avoid contamination of the soaking liquid, and the reciprocating sliding of the sieve plate 23 during cleaning can prevent the dirt and snails from adhering to the sieve plate, thereby facilitating the transportation of the snail.

[0056] In this embodiment, the immersion component 3 includes:

[0057] The sorting box 31 has a plurality of liquid filling ports 38 on one side;

[0058] There are at least four partition plates 32 , fixed equidistantly inside the sorting box 31 ;

[0059] The immersion box 33 is fixed on one side of the sorting box 31, and a baffle 34 is fixed between the immersion box 33 and the sorting box 31. A plurality of liquid outlets are opened on the side of the immersion box 33 away from the sorting box 31;

[0060] The cleaning chamber 37 is fixed on the upper end surface of the baffle 34 , and a plurality of cleaning heads are fixed thereon at an angle, and the cleaning heads are all facing the conveying assembly 5 .

[0061] It should be noted that the height of the soaking liquid in the sorting box 31 and the soaking box 33 is not lower than the height of the opening below the baffle 34, so that the snail can be placed in the soaking liquid as a whole, and sensors can be installed in the sorting box 31 and the soaking box 33 to sense the real-time concentration of the soaking liquid, so as to replenish the liquid through the replenishing port 38 to avoid the influence of too low concentration on the soaking effect.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the inner bottom plate of the sorting box 31 is arranged at an angle, and a plurality of lifting columns 36 are fixed at an angle in the sorting box 31 and the soaking box 33 for the snail to perform sliding transportation.

[0063] That is to say, the lifting column 36 can prevent the snail from coming into contact with the impurities at the bottom of the immersion component 3, thereby improving the cleanliness of the snail. It should be noted that when the snail is immersed, most of the impurities and mucus in its body float on the surface of the immersion liquid, and a small part will fall to the bottom of the immersion liquid. When cleaning, its top can be continuously added to the sorting box 31 and the immersion box 33 by adding liquid until the immersion liquid level rises to the lowest point of the sorting box 31 and the immersion box 33, so that the impurities and mucus are discharged from the lowest point of the sorting box 31 and the immersion box 33, and while adding liquid, the water flow from the liquid replenishing port 38 will drive the impurities at the bottom to move toward the liquid outlet, thereby discharging the impurities at the bottom from the liquid outlet. It should be noted that the amount of liquid added to the liquid replenishing port 38 is greater than the amount of liquid discharged from the liquid outlet.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of partition columns 35 are fixed at positions corresponding to the partition plates 32 in the immersion box 33 for separating snails of different volumes.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment, the conveying assembly 5 includes a conveyor belt 51 and a shift rod 52, wherein the conveyor belt 51 is installed in the immersion box 33, and multiple shift rods 52 are fixed on the conveyor belt 51, and the multiple shift rods 52 are arranged in an alternating manner with the multiple lifting columns 36.

[0066] That is to say, the staggered arrangement of the plurality of shifting rods 52 and the plurality of lifting columns 36 can facilitate the rotation of the conveyor belt, thereby continuously conveying the snails.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment, the tumbling barrel 4 includes:

[0068] A rotating shaft 41 is rotatably disposed in the sorting box 31;

[0069] At least four support rings 42 are fixed on the rotating shaft 41 at equal intervals and correspond to the partition plates 32; and

[0070] The sorting columns are configured in multiple numbers and are all fixed between the support rings 42 .

[0071] As a preferred embodiment, the sorting column includes at least a first sorting column 43, a second sorting column 44 and a third sorting column 45, and the first sorting column 43, the second sorting column 44 and the third sorting column 45 each include a plurality of circumferentially arranged columns, and the spacing between the columns increases successively from the first sorting column 43 to the third sorting column 45.

[0072] Among them, when the snails are in the first sorting column 45, all the snails are immersed in the soaking liquid. When the tumbling barrel 4 rotates, the snails with a volume smaller than the first sorting column 43 are discharged, so as to continue to be soaked in the soaking box 33. After the soaking is completed, they are transported by the conveying component 5. While they are soaking in the soaking box 33, the tumbling barrel 4 continues to rotate, and the remaining snails are moved to the second sorting column 44 and the third sorting column 45 through the inclined setting, which increases the soaking time of the snails while screening them, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the snails.

[0073] Specifically, when in use, the dirt on the surface of the snail shell is first cleaned through the pre-cleaning component 2. The pre-cleaned snail enters the tumbling barrel 4 for tumbling and stirring, and the tumbling barrel 4 can also screen the snails according to their volume, so that the snails with small volume are discharged from the tumbling barrel 4 first, avoiding excessive soaking and improving the soaking degree of large snails. After that, the snail can avoid contact with impurities at the bottom of the immersion component 3 through the lifting column 36, thereby improving the cleanliness of the snail. The soaked snail is then transported through the conveying component 5. During transportation, it can also be cleaned through the cleaning bin 37 to remove the soaking liquid on its surface, and classified and collected through the receiving box, thereby improving the intelligence of the device.

[0074] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
