Detailed Implementation

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The specific embodiments of the present invention are as follows: Its structure includes an outer shell 1, a control panel 2 on the side of the outer shell 1, and a sloping plate 5 at the front of the outer shell 1 for easy transport of oysters. A roller device 3 and a cleaning device 4 are installed on the top of the outer shell 1. The cleaning device 4 runs through the interior of the roller device 3. A water collection tank 7 is also provided inside the outer shell 1, and a drain pipe 6 is provided on the side of the water collection tank 7. In use, oysters can be transported by a trolley. The trolley is pushed through the sloping plate 5 and then flipped to allow the bagged oysters to fall into the interior of the roller device 3. The roller device 3 then rotates to flip the bagged oysters. In conjunction with the cleaning device 4, the mud and sand in the bagged oysters are cleaned. The mud and sand that falls off can be collected in the water collection tank 7 and discharged through the drain pipe 6.

[0024] The roller device 3 includes four roller structures 32 connected together. The bottom sides of each roller structure 32 are supported by a support structure 31. Fifty toothed blocks 37 are arranged around the connection between the two middle roller structures 32 and threadedly engaged with threaded posts 33. The two sides of the threaded posts 33 are supported by bearings 34, which are fixedly connected to the inside sides of the outer shell 1. The threaded posts 33 are driven by a transmission gear 36 and a servo motor 35. In use, the bottom of the roller structure 32 is supported by the support structure 31, and the transmission gear 36 is rotated by the servo motor 35 to mesh with the threaded posts 33. This causes the threaded posts 33 to rotate and engage with the toothed blocks 37 on the side of the roller structure 32, which can drive the roller structure 32 to rotate slowly at the upper end of the support structure 31, causing the bagged oysters inside the roller structure 32 to turn over.

[0025] The roller structure 32 includes two support rings 321, which are connected together by a filter cylinder 322. The bottom sides of the support rings 321 are movably engaged with the support structure 31. The filter cylinder 322 has a threaded protrusion 323 inside, which surrounds the inside of the filter cylinder 322 and is set from the front end to the rear end. In use, the support rings 321 are engaged with the end face of the support structure 31 and rotate, allowing the filter cylinder 322 to rotate the bagged oysters while being guided by the threaded protrusion 323, and can slowly move towards the rear end of the filter cylinder 322.

[0026] The support structure 31 includes a support shaft 311, with a groove 312 on the middle end face of the support shaft 311. The two sides of the support shaft 311 are rotatably connected to the bearing block 313. The bottom of the bearing block 313 is connected by a support column 314, and the support column 314 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner end of the outer shell 1 by a fixing plate 315. In use, the bearing block 313 supports the support shaft 311, allowing the support ring 321 in the roller structure 32 to rotate on the end face of the support shaft 311. The groove 312 on the end face of the support shaft 311 allows the tooth block 37 to be embedded, enabling the roller structure 32 to rotate stably.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, the specific working principle is as follows: When cleaning bagged oysters, the oysters can be transported by a trolley, and then the trolley is pushed through the inclined plate 5 and then flipped so that the bagged oysters fall into the inside of the roller device 3. The roller device 3 rotates to turn the bagged oysters over. In conjunction with the cleaning device 4, the mud and sand in the bagged oysters are cleaned. The mud and sand that are washed off can be collected in the water collection tank 7 and discharged out through the drain pipe 6. When the drum device 3 is working, the bottom of the drum structure 32 is supported by the support structure 31, and the transmission gear 36 is rotated by the servo motor 35 and meshes with the threaded column 33. The rotation of the threaded column 33 is threaded with the tooth block 37 on the side of the drum structure 32, which can drive the drum structure 32 to rotate slowly at the upper end of the support structure 31. This allows the bagged oysters inside the drum structure 32 to turn over and be guided by the threaded protrusion 323, so that they can slowly move to the rear end of the filter cylinder 322. After cleaning, the oysters are automatically discharged.

[0028] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 6-7 The specific embodiments of the present invention are as follows: The cleaning device 4 includes a front support frame 41 and a rear support frame 42 fixedly installed on the top of the outer casing 1. The front support frame 41 and the rear support frame 42 are connected by a water pipe 43, and the side end of the front support frame 41 is connected to a high-pressure water pump 46 through a hose 45. Fourteen high-pressure nozzles 44 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the water pipe 43. In use, the high-pressure water pump 46 guides the water flow through the hose 45 into the interior of the front support frame 41, and then guides the water flow into the water pipe 43, so that the water flow can be sprayed downwards through the forty high-pressure nozzles 44 to rinse the mud and sand in the bagged oysters.

[0029] The front support frame 41 includes a support rod 411 and a support foot 413 fixed to the top of the outer casing 1. The support rod 411 and the support foot 413 are connected to the connecting pipe 412 through a connecting seat 414. The side end of the connecting pipe 412 is connected to the hose 45, and the end of the connecting pipe 412 away from the hose 45 is connected to the water pipe 43. In use, the supporting rod 411 and the support foot 413 support the connecting pipe 412, allowing the water to flow in the connecting pipe 412 while also providing stable support for the water pipe 43.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, the specific working principle is as follows: When the cleaning device 4 rinses the oysters, the high-pressure water pump 46 can guide the water flow through the hose 45 to the inside of the front support frame 41, and then guide the water flow to the water pipe 43, so that the water flow can be sprayed down through the forty high-pressure nozzles 44 to rinse the mud and sand in the bagged oysters. Then, the support rod 411 and the support foot 413 support the connecting pipe 412, so that the water flow can flow in the connecting pipe 412 and at the same time provide stable support for the water pipe 43, so that the water pipe 43 can penetrate through the inside of the roller structure 32 to rinse the mud and sand in the bagged oysters.

[0031] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0032] Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
