[0002] Abalone is a precious marine edible shellfish, known as "gold on the table, the crown of marine treasures", with tender meat and rich nutrition. Instant abalone canned food has been very popular in recent years. The demand for canned abalone is increasing, and manual canning operations cannot meet the demand, so canning machines are gradually introduced for automatic canning. In order to better can abalone, the abalone feeding process and the soup adding process are usually separated.

[0003] During the preparation process, a large number of abalones of similar size are first boiled in a pot, and then manually placed in a cold water pool for cooling. The cooled abalones are then quantitatively packaged into cans. The degree of automation is low, which increases the workload of the staff. Therefore, in view of the above problems, an automatic filling equipment for canned abalone production and a use method thereof are proposed. Summary of the invention

[0014] Preferably, the filter screen inside the detachable frame is an "L"-shaped structure, and reinforcing ribs are provided inside the filter screen.

[0015] A method for using an automated filling device for canned abalone production comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1: When the equipment starts working, the operator turns on the equipment and puts a large number of boiled abalone of similar size into the cooling box. The abalone will move along the funnel-shaped inner frame to its bottom, and fall one by one through the discharge port of the funnel-shaped inner frame onto the tray in the space between the impeller bumps. The motor can drive the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod can drive the impeller to rotate. The impeller will drive the abalone on the tray to rotate. When the abalone moves to the discharge port, it will fall through the discharge port onto the second conveyor belt, and the second conveyor belt will transfer the abalone to the first conveyor belt.

[0017] S2: The first conveyor belt conveys the Spanish mackerel, and the photoelectric sensor detects the position of the abalone on the first conveyor belt. The push plate pushes the abalone being conveyed into the collecting frame, and then the abalone falls accurately into the can through the drop tube. The counter can count the number of abalone entering a single collecting frame. When the number of abalone entering the first collecting frame reaches the set number, the photoelectric sensor corresponding to the first collecting frame stops working, and the second photoelectric sensor starts. When the number of abalone entering the second photoelectric sensor corresponding to the collecting frame reaches the set number, the third photoelectric sensor starts. When the number of abalone entering the third photoelectric sensor corresponding to the collecting frame reaches the set number, the first photoelectric sensor starts, and the cycle continues in sequence. This makes it convenient for the staff to replace the filled cans.

[0018] S3: The timer counts the replacement time, and the replacement is automatically performed when the time is up. The control valve under the water outlet pipe is opened, and the water inside the cooling box is discharged through the water outlet pipe. The control valve of the connecting pipe is opened, and the cooled water inside the water storage tank enters the cooling box to replace the water inside it, so as to prevent the cold water inside the cooling box from being used for too long and affecting the abalone.

[0019] S4: After the water inside the water tank is replaced into the cooling box, the control valve of the external pipe is opened, and the external water enters the water tank through the external pipe. The filter can filter the water entering, and the second semiconductor refrigeration plate cools the water inside the water tank, pre-cooling the water first and waiting for the next water replacement.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) the device quickly cools the boiled abalone through a cooling box, and then automatically and quantitatively packs the cooled abalone into cans, which has a high degree of automation and reduces the workload of the staff.

[0021] (2) The device can discharge the water in the cooling box at regular intervals, and then add pre-cooled water into the cooling box to prevent the water in the cooling box from being used for too long, which would affect the quality of the abalone. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
