Background Art

[0002] Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) are widely used in the catering and aquatic product processing industries due to their delicious meat and rich nutrition. Traditional methods of processing Chinese mitten crabs rely on manual operations. Especially during the processes of carapace removal and crab roe collection, not only is the efficiency low, but also the crab meat is easily contaminated. Moreover, workers are at risk of health problems when working in a humid environment for a long time. Although existing mechanized devices can partially solve these problems, there are still many deficiencies in terms of precision, automation level, and equipment stability. The equipment in the prior art has a complex structure, usually requires a high degree of manual intervention, and has poor coordination between different processing steps, resulting in low overall efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, developing a fully automatic Chinese mitten crab processing device that can smoothly complete the whole process from carapace removal to crab roe collection, crab gill removal, and shell and meat separation, improve efficiency, and reduce manual intervention has become an urgent problem in the industry.

Through modular design, the device can be flexibly configured according to requirements to meet the automated production needs of processing factories of different scales.

[0005] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A fully automatic Chinese mitten crab processing device includes a clamping mechanism (5), a carapace removal device (2), a crab roe collection device (8), a crab gill removal device, and a shell and meat separation device. The above parts can work independently or in cooperation, greatly improving the processing efficiency and ensuring the integrity of the crab meat. The overall frame (7) and the transmission device (6) form the overall structure. The carapace removal device (2) and the Chinese mitten crab carapace collection box (4) are arranged on the overall frame (7), and the clamping mechanism (5) is arranged on the transmission device (6). The clamping mechanism (5) is used to fix the Chinese mitten crab and perform carapace removal processing. Along with the removal of the carapace of the Chinese mitten crab, the transmission device (6) conveys the Chinese mitten crab with the carapace removed to the crab roe blowing device composed of an air pump (1), and the collected crab roe is collected by the crab roe collection device (9). Finally, the Chinese mitten crab is conveyed to the crab body steaming device (8).

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the overall device has the conveying device (6) as the main body, with two built-in pulleys (21) fixed to the overall frame (7) on the shaft through bearings. A pulley sleeve (22) is installed on the overall frame (7) outside the two pulleys (21) and fixed by bolts. The pulley sleeves (22) are connected by a slide bar (20). A belt is laid on the conveying device (6), and a clamping mechanism (5) is installed at intervals on the belt and fixed to the belt by bolts.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a spring (25) is welded in the middle of the clamping mechanism (5) to ensure firm clamping of the crab carapace (18). Brackets (24) are installed on the slide bars (20) on both sides of the upper belt to support and fix the crab carapace removing device (2). The base of the crab carapace removing device (2) is embedded in the slide bar (20).

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a carapace collection box (4) is fixed to the side of the frame by bolts, and a wooden baffle (19) is fixed in front of the frame to prevent the air pump (1) from blowing the crab roe out during collection. A crab roe collection box (9) is placed under the pipeline of the air pump (1). On the right side, the crab gill collection box (17) is fixed between the frame clamping plates (23) welded to the slide bar (20) for collecting crab gills. A crab body steaming device (8) is placed at the far right of the overall frame (7), and the overall frame (7) is supported by four support legs (26) welded to the lower part of the frame.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the crab carapace removing device (2) consists of eight parts. A rotating platform (10) has a base (11) embedded in it, which is connected by a bearing and can rotate freely. The first hydraulic rod is fixed on the rotating platform (10) and can adjust the height of the moving arm (13) up and down, and is bolted to the moving arm (13). The end of the moving arm (13) is connected to the second hydraulic rod (14), and the lower end is bolted to the end of the third hydraulic rod (15). The cutter (16) is bolted to the second hydraulic rod (14) and the third hydraulic rod (15). The insertion, rotation, and lifting of the hydraulic rods are controlled to remove the crab carapace (18).

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the crab carapace removing device (2) consists of the first hydraulic rod (12), the second hydraulic rod (14), the third hydraulic rod (15), and the moving arm (13). The first hydraulic rod (12) and the moving arm (13) are arranged on the rotating platform (10) and the base (11) for adjusting the position during carapace removal. At the same time, the carapace removing cutter (16) is arranged at the ends of the second hydraulic rod (14) and the third hydraulic rod (15). With the cooperation of the clamping mechanism (5), the cutter is inserted into the position of the crab carapace (18), and the carapace is removed by the insertion, rotation, and lifting of the hydraulic rods.

[0012] Working principle of this device: Processing is carried out sequentially through each functional module. First, the hairy crabs enter the processing area through the conveyor belt, and the clamping mechanism firmly fixes the hairy crabs to ensure no displacement during the processing. Then, the hairy crabs enter the carapace removal device. The rotating platform drives the hairy crabs to rotate to the carapace removal position, and the hydraulic system drives the boom to drive the cutter to precisely cut the carapace, ensuring that the carapace is removed while not damaging the crab meat. After the carapace removal is completed, the crab roe collection device immediately collects the crab roe to prevent it from contaminating the crab meat. Subsequently, the crab gill removal device automatically removes the crab gills to ensure that the crab meat part is clean and free of impurities. Finally, the shell and meat separation device effectively separates the crab shell from the crab meat through mechanical operation, ensuring the integrity of the crab meat and facilitating subsequent processing.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The technical advantages of the present invention are mainly reflected in modular design, high efficiency, precision, and food safety. Each module can work independently or cooperate according to requirements, greatly improving the flexibility and production efficiency of the device. The combination of the hydraulic system and precision cutters effectively guarantees the precision during the carapace removal process, avoiding the problem of crab meat damage in traditional manual operations. All parts in contact with food are made of materials that meet national food safety standards to ensure hygiene and safety during the processing. At the same time, the device is applicable to large-scale aquatic product processing plants and can be customized according to different scales and requirements, capable of efficiently completing the automatic processing of hairy crabs, reducing manual intervention, and improving production efficiency.

[0015] (2) The fully automatic hairy crab processing device of the present invention can significantly improve the efficiency of the production line, reduce labor costs, and effectively reduce crab meat damage to ensure food safety. The modular design enables the device to switch smoothly between different processing steps, ensuring the efficient execution of each step. Through this device, full-automatic operation can be achieved, reducing manual intervention, improving production stability, and meeting the requirements of modern large-scale hairy crab processing.
