DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] According to the attached Figure 4 As shown, a fixed inclined plate 4 is fixed at the top of the operating table 1, and a round rod 13 is fixed at the bottom of the fixed inclined plate 4. The fixed inclined plates 4 are symmetrically arranged in two groups, and the two groups of fixed inclined plates 4 are arranged in an inclined shape. Figure 2 As shown, a cleaning brush 6 is provided on one side of the round rod 13, and a connecting rod 12 is fixed on one side of the cleaning brush 6. There are multiple groups of round rods 13, and the multiple groups of round rods 13 are equidistantly distributed at the bottom ends of two groups of fixed inclined plates 4, so that the crabs can be placed at an angle so that the back and abdomen of the crabs can be cleaned at the same time. The feet on both sides of the crabs can grasp the round rods 13, which relatively reduces the movement of the crabs, improves the cleaning speed of the crabs, and relatively quickly improves the cleaning speed.

[0031] According to the attached Figure 3 As shown, an electric push rod 11 is installed at the top of the connecting rod 12, and a cross plate 5 is fixed to the top of the electric push rod 11. Multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting rod 12. Multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 are provided, and multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 are horizontally located in the middle of every two groups of round rods 13, so that multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 can move up and down at the same time, so that the back of the crab can be cleaned up and down, improving the overall cleanliness of the crab. Multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 are arranged in an inclined shape, which is adapted to the inclination angle of the fixed inclined plate 4 and the round rod 13, reducing the attachment of mud, algae and other algae or small aquatic organisms on the back, and facilitating the cleaning of the crab. Multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 are located in the middle of every two groups of round rods 13, which is adapted to the placement position and cleaning angle of the crab, so that the equipment can clean the surface of the crab more cleanly; at the same time, multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 can provide a certain pressing force for the use position of the crab, further reducing the situation where the crab moves around during cleaning.

[0032] According to the attached Figure 3As shown, a sensor 14 is installed at the bottom end of the horizontal plate 5. The sensor 14 observes the cleaning position of the crabs. It can observe the positions of the cleaning brush 6, the first cleaning roller 9 and the second cleaning roller 15 during cleaning, and observe the cleaning positions between the cleaning brush 6, the first cleaning roller 9 and the second cleaning roller 15 and the crabs to facilitate subsequent adjustments, reduce cleaning deviation, and thus improve cleaning accuracy and coverage.

[0033] According to the attached Figure 5 As shown, square slide grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the surface of the operating table 1, and square sliders 17 and moving blocks 18 are slidably inserted in the square slide grooves 10. Two groups of square sliders 17 and moving blocks 18 are symmetrically arranged. The two groups of square sliders 17 and moving blocks 18 are respectively arranged on both sides of the operating table 1. The two groups of square sliders 17 and moving blocks 18 are slidably inserted in the square slide grooves 10, so that multiple groups of moving plates 3 and square columns 19 can move stably left and right. The movement of the moving plates 3 drives multiple groups of square sliders 17 and moving blocks 18 to slide left and right in the square slide grooves 10, and the use positions of the L-shaped columns 8 and the first cleaning roller 9 are limited to extend their service life.

[0034] According to the attached Figure 5 As shown, a first cleaning roller 9 and a second cleaning roller 15 are rotatably inserted in the L-shaped column 8. The first cleaning roller 9 and the second cleaning roller 15 are symmetrically arranged in two groups. The two groups of first cleaning rollers 9 and second cleaning rollers 15 are tilted up and down, adapted to the cleaning angle of the fixed inclined plate 4 and the round rod 13, reducing the secretions of the crab's abdominal digestive system and reproductive organs, and also reducing some dirt or residues in the abdomen, making it easier to clean the crab's abdomen and facilitate subsequent processing steps, thereby improving the cleanliness of the crab in subsequent processing steps.

[0035] According to the attached Figure 6 As shown, the surface fixed sleeve of the first cleaning roller 9 is provided with a first gear 16, and the surface fixed sleeve of the second cleaning roller 15 is provided with a second gear 20. The first gear 16 and the second gear 20 are symmetrically arranged in two groups, and the two groups of first gears 16 and second gears 20 are respectively meshed. A second motor 7 is installed on one side of the second cleaning roller 15, and the second cleaning roller 15 is driven to rotate by the output end of the second motor 7, thereby driving the square slide 10 and the first gear 16 to rotate. The two groups of first cleaning rollers 9 and second cleaning rollers 15 rotate in opposite directions, and the crabs and abdomens are cleaned at the same time. The surfaces of the first cleaning rollers 9 and the second cleaning rollers 15 are made of sponge material. The sponge material has a large number of tiny pores, which can quickly absorb impurities and dirt. The sponge material is soft and will not scratch or damage the surface of the crab during cleaning, and will not affect the quality of the crab surface.

[0036] According to the attached Figure 7As shown, a moving plate 3 is fixed to one side of the square slider 17 and the moving block 18 respectively, and an L-shaped column 8 is fixed to the top of the moving plate 3. A plurality of moving plates 3 are symmetrically arranged, and the plurality of moving plates 3 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the square column 19. A square column 19 is fixed to one side of the moving plate 3, and a bidirectional ball screw 21 is inserted in the square column 19 through threaded rotation. A first motor 2 is installed on one side of the second cleaning roller 15. The two groups of square columns 19 are moved to both sides or to the middle at the same time through the rotation of the bidirectional ball screw 21, which is convenient for adjustment according to the size and placement of the crab, thereby improving the effectiveness of cleaning and also increasing the contact area between the first cleaning roller 9 and the second cleaning roller 15 and the surface of the crab.

[0037] The first motor 2, the second motor 7, the electric push rod 11, the sensor 14 and the bidirectional ball screw 21 used in the present application are products that can be directly purchased on the market. Their principles and connection methods are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be repeated here.

[0038] Working principle: before use, put the whole in a suitable position, fix the use position of the horizontal plate 5, put the crab on the multiple groups of round rods 13 in turn, so that the legs on both sides of the crab can grasp the round rods 13, and start the electric push rod 11 after it is properly placed. The piston end of the electric push rod 11 pushes the connecting rod 12 downward, so that the use position of the multiple groups of cleaning brushes 6 moves downward, providing a moving pressing force for the crab, and then the electric push rod 11 mobilizes the connecting rod 12 and the cleaning brush 6 to move up and down, and scrubs the back of the crab;

[0039] Next, according to the information collected and fed back by the sensor 14, the first motor 2 and the second motor 7 are started, and the first motor 2 drives the bidirectional ball screw 21 to rotate. As the bidirectional ball screw 21 rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, the two groups of square columns 19 move toward the middle or to both sides at the same time, and the movement of the square column 19 drives the moving plate 3, the square slider 17 and the moving block 18 move at the same time, the square slider 17 and the moving block 18 slide in the square slide 10, the moving plate 3 drives the L-shaped column 8, the first cleaning roller 9 and the second cleaning roller 15 move left and right according to the size of the crab, and then the output end of the second motor 7 drives the second cleaning roller 15 to rotate, so that the second gear 20 drives the meshing first gear 16 to rotate, so that the first cleaning roller 9 and the second cleaning roller 15 rotate in opposite directions at the same time to clean the abdomen of the crab.

[0040] The above is the entire working principle of the present invention.
