Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sea cucumber processing, in particular to a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device. Background Art

[0002] Sea cucumbers have high nutritional value. With the improvement of people's living standards and their emphasis on health, the demand for sea cucumbers is increasing. In order to improve the shelf life and nutritional value of sea cucumbers, sea cucumbers need to be deeply processed. During the processing and production process, sea cucumbers need to be deeply cleaned.

[0003] At present, when sea cucumbers are processed and cleaned in batches, water is usually continuously sprayed on the sea cucumbers while they are being transported by a conveyor belt. However, this method cannot easily turn the sea cucumbers over, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the sea cucumbers. In addition, as the conveyor belt moves, dirt such as mud and sand are easily transported along with the sea cucumbers, affecting the cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device in response to the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, which can improve the comprehensiveness of sea cucumber cleaning and the thoroughness of impurity removal and pollution removal, and is conducive to improving the quality of sea cucumbers after processing.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device, comprising a cleaning box; a feed inlet is opened on the upper side of the rear end of the cleaning box, and a discharge outlet is opened on the upper side of the front end of the cleaning box; a sewage outlet is connected to the lower part of the rear end of the cleaning box; a plurality of arched supporting plates are distributed in sequence from back to front on the upper side of the interior of the cleaning box; the plurality of supporting plates are arranged in sequence from high to low in the direction from back to front; the amplitude of the arch of the plurality of supporting plates increases in sequence as they are arranged from back to front; a discharge gap is set between each two adjacent supporting plates; and a double cleaning mechanism is provided on the cleaning box;

[0006] The double cleaning mechanism includes multiple liquid storage shells fixed on the upper end of the cleaning box; the lower end of each liquid storage shell is fixedly connected to multiple flushing nozzles; the flushing nozzles are located on the upper side of the cleaning box; the discharge gaps correspond to the flushing nozzles on different liquid storage shells respectively; the liquid spray outlets of the flushing nozzles are inclined downward and toward the corresponding discharge gaps; a high-pressure water joint is connected to the liquid storage shells; a steam guide shell is fixed to the outside of the cleaning box; a high-pressure steam joint is connected to the steam guide shell; a high-pressure steam pipe is provided between each adjacent two support plates; the high-pressure steam pipes are located one by one and in parallel above the discharge gaps; the high-pressure steam pipes are all connected to the steam guide shell; a plurality of steam nozzles are opened on the upper side of the high-pressure steam pipe along the length direction; the steam nozzles are arranged upward.

[0007] To further optimize this technical solution, a high-pressure steam pipe of a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device is provided with cleaning bristles distributed on its surface.

[0008] To further optimize the technical solution, a support plate surface of a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device is coated with a ceramic coating.

[0009] To further optimize this technical solution, a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device has a drainage plate fixed on the lower side of the interior of the cleaning box along the front-to-back direction; the drainage plate is an inclined structure with the front higher and the back lower; the rear end of the drainage plate corresponds to the sewage outlet.

[0010] To further optimize this technical solution, a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device has retaining sleeves fixed on the left and right sides of the feed inlet and the left and right sides of the discharge port; sealing plates are respectively provided outside the feed inlet and the discharge port; and the left and right ends of the sealing plates are plugged into the retaining sleeves in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] 1. The supporting plates are arranged in sequence from high to low in the direction from back to front, so that the sea cucumbers are guided by the height difference between the supporting plates, and can be easily put into the feeding port and then rolled out from the discharging port. In addition, the radian drop of the arched structure of the supporting plate itself can further facilitate the rolling of the sea cucumbers, which is convenient for more comprehensive cleaning of the sea cucumbers. In addition, when the sea cucumbers roll between the two supporting plates, the arched radian drop of the supporting plates will cause the sea cucumbers to impact between the supporting plates on the lower side, which is conducive to separating the dirt on the sea cucumbers; as they are arranged from back to front, the amplitudes of the arches of the multiple supporting plates increase successively, so that as the sea cucumbers are transmitted from back to front, the radian drop of the supporting plates they pass through also gradually increases, so that the impact force between the sea cucumbers and the supporting plates gradually increases, which is conducive to separating the stubborn dirt remaining on the sea cucumbers.

[0013] 2. A discharge gap is set between each two adjacent support plates. The spray outlet of the flushing nozzle is inclined downward and toward the corresponding discharge gap. On the one hand, the flushing nozzle can spray cleaning liquid to clean the sea cucumber. On the other hand, it can further promote the rolling of the sea cucumber, which is conducive to more thorough cleaning of the sea cucumber. The discharge gap is conducive to draining away the dirt washed off the sea cucumber.

[0014] 3. A high-pressure steam pipe is provided between each two adjacent support plates. The high-pressure steam pipes are arranged in parallel above the discharge gap. The high-pressure steam pipes can spray high-pressure hot steam onto the surface of the sea cucumber, which can kill the residual microorganisms on the sea cucumber and improve the cleaning effect of the sea cucumber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device includes a cleaning box 1; a feed inlet 2 is opened on the upper side of the rear end of the cleaning box 1, and a discharge port 3 is opened on the upper side of the front end of the cleaning box 1; a sewage outlet 4 is connected to the lower part of the rear end of the cleaning box 1; a plurality of arched supporting plates 5 are distributed in sequence from back to front on the upper side of the interior of the cleaning box 1; the plurality of said supporting plates 5 are arranged in sequence from high to low in the direction from back to front; as they are arranged from back to front, the arched amplitudes of the plurality of said supporting plates 5 increase in sequence; a discharge gap 6 is set between each two adjacent supporting plates 5; a double cleaning mechanism is provided on the cleaning box 1;

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the double cleaning mechanism includes a plurality of liquid storage shells 7 fixed on the upper end of the cleaning box 1; the lower end of each liquid storage shell 7 is fixedly connected to a plurality of flushing nozzles 8; the flushing nozzles 8 are located on the upper side of the inside of the cleaning box 1; the discharge gaps 6 correspond to the flushing nozzles 8 on different liquid storage shells 7 respectively; the liquid spray outlets 9 of the flushing nozzles 8 are inclined downward and toward the corresponding discharge gaps 6; the liquid storage shells 7 are connected to a high-pressure water joint 10 (which can be connected to an external high-pressure water supply system); a steam guide shell 11 is fixed to the outside of the cleaning box 1; the steam guide shell 11 is connected to a high-pressure steam joint 12 (which can be connected to an external high-pressure hot steam supply equipment); a high-pressure steam pipe 13 is provided between each adjacent two support plates 5; the high-pressure steam pipes 13 are located one by one and in parallel above the discharge gaps 6; the high-pressure steam pipes 13 are all connected to the steam guide shell 11; a plurality of steam nozzles 14 are opened on the upper side of the high-pressure steam pipe 13 along the length direction; the steam nozzles 14 are arranged upward.

[0022] When the sea cucumber to be cleaned is fed into the cleaning box 1 from the feed port 2, the sea cucumber will roll forward along the sequentially arranged supporting plates 5 due to the gravitational potential energy generated by the height difference, and finally be discharged from the discharge port 3. In addition, during the transportation process, cleaning liquid is sprayed out through the liquid spray outlet 9 and high-temperature hot steam (100℃-130℃ steam, which has a good effect of killing microorganisms and will not cause serious damage to the collagen structure of the sea cucumber) is sprayed out through the steam nozzle 14, thereby realizing the double gas-liquid cleaning of the sea cucumber and improving the cleaning effect.

[0023] When the sea cucumber is conveyed along the pallet 5, the arc drop of the arched structure of the pallet 5 can further facilitate the rolling of the sea cucumber. Of course, when the sea cucumber rolls to the position between the two pallets 5, in order to avoid the sea cucumber from getting stuck and affecting the transmission, on the one hand, a high-pressure steam pipe 13 is set between the two pallets 5 to support and guide the sea cucumber, and the ejected high-pressure hot steam has the effect of pushing the sea cucumber outward, which helps the transmission of the sea cucumber. On the other hand, the spray outlet 9 of the flushing nozzle 8 sprays cleaning liquid towards this position, and with the help of the impact effect of the liquid, the smooth transmission of the sea cucumber is further ensured.

[0024] Since the steam nozzle 14 on the upper side of the high-pressure steam pipe 13 is set upward, when the sea cucumber is in the upper position of the high-pressure steam pipe 13, it will not only be impacted by the cleaning liquid sprayed from the upper liquid spray outlet 9, but also by the high-pressure hot steam sprayed from the lower steam nozzle 14. The dual effects of liquid and gas collide here from two opposite directions above and below, which not only makes the sea cucumber roll, but also causes high-frequency vibration of the sea cucumber, further improving the decontamination effect.

[0025] It should be noted that the dual cleaning mechanism and the arrangement of the supporting plates 5 in the present device have a mutually reinforcing technical effect on the cleaning of sea cucumbers. On the one hand, the arrangement of the supporting plates 5 facilitates the tumbling and conveying of the sea cucumbers, enabling the dual cleaning mechanism to clean the sea cucumbers more comprehensively. On the other hand, the impact of the dual cleaning mechanism on the sea cucumbers also promotes the conveying of the sea cucumbers on the supporting plates 5, and also facilitates the impact between the sea cucumbers and the supporting plates 5, thereby separating the dirt on the sea cucumbers.

[0026] In addition, in this technical solution, it is also important to note that the amplitude of the arch of the support plate 5 increases successively as the sea cucumber is arranged from back to front. This is a key technical point. The setting of this key technical point makes the radian drop of the support plate 5 gradually increase as the sea cucumber is transported from back to front, so that the impact force between the sea cucumber and the support plate 5 gradually increases. The reason for this setting is that as the cleaning gradually proceeds, the easily separable dirt on the sea cucumber has gradually separated, while the remaining dirt is relatively stubborn. Therefore, the more the sea cucumber is transported, the more the impact force between the support plate 5 and the sea cucumber is increased, thereby adapting to the separation demand for stubborn dirt.

[0027] Cleaning bristles (not shown in the figure) are distributed on the surface of the high-pressure steam pipe 13. In some cases, the sea cucumbers are only rinsed with liquid without using high-pressure hot steam. At this time, when the sea cucumbers roll across the surface of the high-pressure steam pipe 13, the cleaning bristles rub against the surface of the sea cucumber, which can ensure a good cleaning effect even without using high-pressure hot steam.

[0028] The surface of the supporting plate 5 is coated with a ceramic coating. The surface of the ceramic coating is smooth, which is conducive to the smooth transmission of the sea cucumbers, is not easy to adhere to impurities, is easy to clean, and is conducive to ensuring stability for long-term use.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a drainage plate 15 is fixed to the lower side of the interior of the cleaning box 1 along the front-to-back direction; the drainage plate 15 has an inclined structure with the front higher and the rear lower; the rear end of the drainage plate 15 corresponds to the sewage outlet 4. The drainage plate 15 facilitates the smooth drainage of sewage flowing from the discharge gap 6, and it is discharged more thoroughly through the sewage outlet 4.

[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, baffles 16 are fixed on the left and right sides of the feed port 2 and the left and right sides of the discharge port 3 respectively; sealing plates 17 are respectively provided outside the feed port 2 and the discharge port 3; the left and right ends of the sealing plates 17 are plugged into the baffles 16 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0031] In some cases, it may be necessary to subject the sea cucumber to steam heat treatment under a certain time and pressure (for example, the autolytic enzyme in the sea cucumber can be passivated under high pressure conditions). At this time, the feed port 2 and the discharge port 3 are closed by the sealing plate 17 (a valve will be provided at the sewage outlet 4, so there is no need to provide a sealing plate 17) so that a closed environment can be maintained in the cleaning box 1.

[0032] It will be understood that the present invention is described by way of some embodiments, and it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are intended to be protected by the present invention.
