Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of snail processing technology, and in particular to an automatic snail cleaning and tail-cutting integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] Because snails often have a lot of dirt at their tails, the tail end needs to be cut off before stir-frying. A snail tail-cutting machine, authorized by publication number CN111802437B, addresses this issue. The technical problem is how to design a snail tail-cutting machine that makes it easier for people to cut their hands, avoiding hand injuries, and requiring no two people to operate. A snail tail-cutting machine includes: a base, with a mounting frame fixedly connected to one side of the base; and a U-shaped plate fixed between the inner edges of the mounting frame, away from the base.

[0003] The aforementioned device has the following drawbacks: The operator must manually insert each snail into the through-hole and manually pull the snail's tail to trigger the cutting action. After cutting the tail, the snail must also be manually removed. The entire process cannot achieve continuous feeding and batch processing, failing to meet the mass production needs of food processing plants. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic snail cleaning and tail-cutting machine that can process snail tails in batches and improve snail processing efficiency.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic snail cleaning and tail-cutting integrated machine, comprising a tail-cutting box and a cleaning box fixed above the tail-cutting box, wherein a feeding hopper is connected to the cleaning box, and a cleaning component, a partition plate, a filter plate, and a filter component are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the cleaning box, wherein the cleaning component is used to clean snails, the partition plate is used to separate the filter plate from the cleaning component, and the filter component is used to filter impurities inside the snails, wherein a horizontally arranged tail-cutting cylinder and a tail-cutting shaft located below the tail-cutting cylinder are rotatably connected inside the tail-cutting box, wherein a plurality of tail-cutting holes are provided on the tail-cutting cylinder, and a tail-cutting blade is fixed on the tail-cutting shaft, wherein the tail-cutting cylinder and the tail-cutting blade are driven to rotate by a drive component installed in the tail-cutting box, wherein a feeding channel is connected between the cleaning box and the tail-cutting box, wherein the upper end of the feeding channel is connected to the inner cavity between the filter plate and the partition plate, and the lower end is connected to the inner cavity of the tail-cutting cylinder, and a drain pipe located below the filter plate is connected to the cleaning box.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a large number of snails to be processed are fed into the cleaning tank from the feeding hopper. The cleaning component cleans the snails, and then the partition plate opens, allowing the snails and cleaning water to flow towards the filter plate. The cleaning water and impurities in the water pass through the filter plate and flow into the drain pipe. A valve is installed in the drain pipe. Opening the valve releases the water and impurities from the cleaning tank. The cleaned snails remain on the filter plate and flow into the tail-cutting cylinder from the feeding channel. The drive component drives the tail-cutting cylinder, tail-cutting shaft, and tail-cutting blade to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the snails are thrown against the inner wall of the tail-cutting cylinder. The diameter of the tail-cutting hole decreases from the inner wall to the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder, and the diameter of the tail-cutting hole is larger than the tail of the snail but smaller than the head of the snail. This allows the tails of snails of different sizes to pass through the tail-cutting hole and protrude from the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder. The rotating tail-cutting blade cuts off the tail of the snail, realizing batch snail cleaning and tail-cutting work, thereby improving the snail processing efficiency.

[0007] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: the cleaning assembly includes a rotating drum rotatably connected to the cleaning tank, a fixed shaft fixed to the two side walls of the rotating drum, a first brush plate fixed to the end of the fixed shaft and in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the two sides of the bottom wall of the rotating drum. The rotating shaft is fixed with a connecting frame, a second brush plate is slidably mounted on the connecting frame, a plurality of second cleaning shafts located below the second brush plate are fixed on the rotating shaft, a plurality of first cleaning shafts are fixed on the fixed shaft, cleaning rollers are rotatably mounted on both the first cleaning shafts and the second cleaning shafts, a guide rod is fixedly inserted into and slidably mounted on the connecting frame on the second brush plate, and a cleaning spring sleeved on the guide rod is fixed between the second brush plate and the connecting frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drum rotates, it simultaneously drives the fixed shaft, the first brush plate, the first cleaning shaft, and the cleaning rollers on the first cleaning shaft to rotate circumferentially within the cleaning box, thereby agitating and cleaning the snails and cleaning the inner wall of the cleaning box. This prevents impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the cleaning box and improves cleaning efficiency. When the drum rotates, it also drives the rotating shaft to rotate circumferentially, thereby rotating the rotating shaft, the second brush plate, the second cleaning shaft, and the cleaning rollers on the second cleaning shaft to clean the snails. The second brush plate achieves elastic kneading and cleaning of the snails, further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0009] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: the cleaning assembly further includes a fixing frame fixed above the cleaning tank; a first gear ring is fixedly fixed to one end of the rotating drum extending out of the cleaning tank; a cleaning motor is fixedly mounted on the fixing frame; a first gear meshing with the first gear ring is fixed to the output end of the cleaning motor; a fixing rod extending into the inner cavity of the rotating drum is fixed to the fixing frame; a second gear is fixed to the end of the fixing rod; and a third gear meshing with the second gear is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft rotatably extending into the inner cavity of the rotating drum.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during the cleaning process, the cleaning motor is started to drive the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating drum to rotate. This causes the fixed shaft, the first brush plate, the first cleaning shaft, and the cleaning rollers on the first cleaning shaft to rotate synchronously around the circumference inside the cleaning box to clean the snails and scrape the inner wall of the cleaning box. It also drives the rotating shaft, the second brush plate, the second cleaning shaft, and the cleaning rollers on the second cleaning shaft to rotate to further clean the snails. When the rotating shaft rotates around the circumference inside the cleaning box, the third gear and the second gear at the upper end of the rotating shaft rotate, realizing the rotation of the rotating shaft and expanding the snail cleaning range, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0011] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: a torsion spring is connected to the side of the filter plate and the inner wall of the cleaning tank; the filter assembly includes a movable shaft located below the filter plate and rotatably connected inside the cleaning tank; a cam is fixed to the movable shaft and contacts the bottom wall of the filter plate; a first bevel gear is fixed to one end of the movable shaft extending out of the cleaning tank; a first connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the outside of the cleaning tank; a first transmission belt is sleeved between the upper end of the first connecting shaft and the output end of the cleaning motor; and a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear is fixed to the bottom end of the first connecting shaft.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, pulleys are fixed at the output end of the cleaning motor and the upper end of the first connecting shaft. The first transmission belt is sleeved between the two pulleys. When the output end of the cleaning motor rotates, the first transmission belt drives the first connecting shaft to rotate synchronously, thereby rotating the second bevel gear, which in turn drives the first bevel gear, the movable shaft and the cam to rotate. The cam pushes the filter plate to vibrate up and down relative to the cleaning box, filtering the impurities inside the snail and causing the cleaned snail to fall into the feeding channel.

[0013] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: the partition plate includes two semi-circular partition plates symmetrically arranged inside the cleaning tank, the sides of the semi-circular partition plates are hinged to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, a feeding cylinder is hinged inside the cleaning tank, and the output end of the feeding cylinder is hinged to the bottom wall of the semi-circular partition plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the partition plate is closed, the partition plate and the inner cavity of the cleaning box form a closed space. Water and snails are poured in for cleaning. After cleaning, the feeding cylinders on both sides are activated. The output end of the feeding cylinder drives the semi-circular partition plate to rotate and open relative to the cleaning box, so that the snails and cleaning water flow to the filter plate.

[0015] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: a fixing plate is fixed to the outside of the tail-cutting box, the fixing plate and the outer wall of the tail-cutting box enclose a closed driving cavity, the end of the tail-cutting cylinder away from the feeding channel is rotatably connected to the fixing plate, the end of the tail-cutting shaft extends into the driving cavity and is fixed with a fourth gear, the driving assembly includes a driving motor installed outside the tail-cutting box to drive the tail-cutting shaft to rotate, and a second gear ring located in the driving cavity and meshing with the fourth gear is sleeved on the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the snail is inside the tail-cutting tube, the drive motor is started, which drives the tail-cutting shaft and the fourth gear to rotate. The fourth gear drives the second gear ring and the tail-cutting tube to rotate, thereby realizing the automated tail-cutting operation of the snail.

[0017] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: the tail-cutting box is provided with a discharge port communicating with the inner cavity of the tail-cutting cylinder on the side near the feeding channel; a discharge cylinder is fixed outside the tail-cutting box; a baffle covering the discharge port is fixed at the output end of the discharge cylinder; a screw is rotatably connected between the side wall of the tail-cutting box and the fixed plate; a discharge motor for driving the screw to rotate is installed outside the tail-cutting box; a limiting rod parallel to the screw is fixed between the side wall of the tail-cutting box and the fixed plate; a fixing block is threadedly connected to the screw; a slider is slidably connected to the limiting rod; a discharge plate is fixed between the fixing block and the slider; and the side wall of the discharge plate is in contact with the inner wall of the tail-cutting cylinder.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the snail tail-cutting work is completed, the unloading cylinder pushes the baffle to move and open the unloading port, starts the unloading motor to drive the screw to rotate, and causes the screw to slide relative to the limit rod through the fixed block, pushing the snails in the tail-cutting cylinder out of the unloading port, thus realizing the automatic unloading of the processed snails.

[0019] A further feature of the present invention is that the side wall of the unloading plate is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves, a push block slides in the sliding groove, an unloading spring is fixed between one end of the push block located in the sliding groove and the inner wall of the sliding groove, and a chamfer is provided at the end of the push block away from the unloading spring.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the unloading plate moves inside the shearing cylinder to push out the snails inside the shearing cylinder, the end of the push block is inserted into the shearing hole under the push of the unloading spring, which is conducive to pushing out the snails inside the shearing hole and further improving the unloading efficiency.

[0021] A further feature of the present invention is that a movable plate is rotatably connected inside the tail-cutting box, a cavity is formed inside the movable plate, a water supply pipe is fixed inside the cavity, and multiple nozzles are connected to the water supply pipe.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the movable plate rotates, it drives multiple nozzles to rotate and remove the snail tails adhering to the tail-cutting blade, thus avoiding affecting the subsequent tail-cutting effect of the tail-cutting blade.

[0023] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: a second connecting shaft, a third connecting shaft, and a fourth connecting shaft are rotatably connected to the outside of the tail-cutting box; a second transmission belt is sleeved between one end of the second connecting shaft and the screw, and a third bevel gear is fixed to the other end; a fourth bevel gear meshing with the third bevel gear is fixed to one end of the third connecting shaft, and a fifth bevel gear is fixed to the other end; a sixth bevel gear meshing with the fifth bevel gear is fixed to one end of the fourth connecting shaft, and a connecting plate located inside the tail-cutting box is fixed to the other end; a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting plate; a through hole is opened in the movable plate leading to the cavity; and the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting plate passes through the through hole and is movably connected to the inner wall of the cavity.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, pulleys are fixed at the ends of both the screw and the second connecting shaft. The second transmission belt is sleeved between the two pulleys. When the screw rotates and drives the unloading plate to move and unload, the second transmission belt drives the second connecting shaft to rotate synchronously, causing the second connecting shaft and the third bevel gear to rotate. Then, the fourth bevel gear, the third connecting shaft and the fifth bevel gear rotate, and then the sixth bevel gear, the fourth connecting shaft and the connecting plate rotate. The rotation of the connecting plate drives the movable plate to swing back and forth through the connecting rod, so that multiple nozzles swing back and forth to remove the snail tails adhering to the tail shearing blade, realizing integrated unloading and cleaning, and improving the overall processing efficiency.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0026] 1. A cleaning assembly is set up in which the fixed shaft, the first brush plate, the first cleaning shaft, and the cleaning rollers on the first cleaning shaft rotate synchronously around the circumference inside the cleaning box to agitate and clean the snails, while also cleaning the inner wall of the cleaning box, thus preventing impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the cleaning box; the rotating shaft, the second brush plate, the second cleaning shaft, and the cleaning rollers on the second cleaning shaft rotate to clean the snails, and the second brush plate performs elastic kneading and cleaning of the snails, further improving the cleaning efficiency;

[0027] 2. When the rotating shaft rotates circumferentially inside the cleaning tank, the third and second gears at the upper end of the rotating shaft rotate, realizing the rotation of the rotating shaft, expanding the cleaning range of snails, and thus improving the cleaning efficiency;

[0028] 3. After cleaning, the snails flow into the tail-cutting cylinder through the feeding channel. The drive assembly drives the tail-cutting cylinder, tail-cutting shaft, and tail-cutting blade to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the snails are thrown against the inner wall of the tail-cutting cylinder. The diameter of the tail-cutting hole decreases from the inner wall to the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder. The diameter of the tail-cutting hole is larger than the tail of the snail but smaller than the head of the snail. This allows the tails of snails of different sizes to pass through the tail-cutting hole and protrude from the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder. The rotating tail-cutting blade cuts off the tail of the snail, realizing batch snail cleaning and tail-cutting work, thereby improving the snail processing efficiency.

[0029] 4. The rotation of the cam pushes the filter plate to vibrate up and down relative to the cleaning box, filtering out impurities inside the snails and causing the cleaned snails to fall into the feeding channel.

[0030] 5. After the snail tail trimming is completed, the unloading cylinder pushes the baffle to move and open the unloading port. The unloading motor is started to drive the screw to rotate, so that the screw drives the unloading plate and the slider to slide relative to the guide rod through the fixed block, pushing the snails in the tail trimming cylinder out of the unloading port, realizing the automatic unloading of the processed snails.

[0031] 6. When the screw rotates, it synchronously drives the movable plate to swing back and forth, thereby driving multiple nozzles to swing back and forth to remove the snail tails adhering to the tail-cutting blade, thus avoiding affecting the subsequent tail-cutting effect of the tail-cutting blade.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] Example 1: An automatic snail cleaning and tail-trimming integrated machine, such as... Figure 1-7As shown, the device includes a tail-cutting box 1 and a cleaning box 2 fixed above the tail-cutting box 1. A feed hopper 3 is connected to the cleaning box 2. From top to bottom, the cleaning box 2 contains a cleaning component 4, a partition plate 5, a filter plate 6, and a filter component 7. The cleaning component 4 is used to clean snails, the partition plate 5 is used to separate the filter plate 6 from the cleaning component 4, and the filter component 7 is used to filter impurities from the snails. A tail-cutting cylinder 8 and a tail-cutting shaft 9 located below the tail-cutting cylinder 8 are rotatably connected inside the tail-cutting box 1. The tail-cutting cylinder 8 is provided with multiple tail-cutting holes 10, and a tail-cutting blade 11 is fixed on the tail-cutting shaft 9. The tail-cutting cylinder 8 and the tail-cutting blade 11 are driven to rotate by a drive component installed in the tail-cutting box 1. A feeding channel 13 is connected between the cleaning box 2 and the tail-cutting box 1. The upper end of the feeding channel 13 is connected to the inner cavity between the filter plate 6 and the partition plate 5, and the lower end is connected to the inner cavity of the tail-cutting cylinder 8. A drain pipe located below the filter plate 6 is connected to the cleaning box 2. During processing, a large number of snails to be processed are fed into the cleaning tank 2 from the feed hopper 3. The cleaning component 4 cleans the snails, and then the partition plate 5 is opened, allowing the snails and cleaning water to flow to the filter plate 6. The cleaning water and impurities in the water pass through the filter plate 6 and flow to the drain pipe. A valve is installed in the drain pipe. Opening the valve releases the water and impurities from the cleaning tank 2. The cleaned snails remain on the filter plate 6 and flow into the tail-cutting cylinder 8 from the feeding channel 13. The drive component drives the tail-cutting cylinder 8, tail-cutting shaft 9, and tail-cutting blade 11 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the snails are thrown against the inner wall of the tail-cutting cylinder 8. The diameter of the tail-cutting hole 10 decreases from the inner wall of the tail-cutting cylinder 8 to the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder 8. The diameter of the tail-cutting hole 10 is larger than the tail of the snail but smaller than the head of the snail, so that the tails of snails of different sizes can pass through the tail-cutting hole 10 and protrude from the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder 8. The rotating tail-cutting blade 11 cuts off the tail of the snail, realizing the batch snail cleaning and tail-cutting work.

[0043] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly 4 includes a rotating drum 401 rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 2, a fixed shaft 402 fixed to the two side walls of the rotating drum 401, a first brush plate 403 fixed to the end of the fixed shaft 402 and in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2, and a rotating shaft 404 rotatably connected to the two sides of the bottom wall of the rotating drum 401. A connecting frame 405 is fixed to the rotating shaft 404, and a second brush plate 406 slides on the connecting frame 405. A plurality of second cleaning shafts 407 located below the second brush plate 406 are fixed to the rotating shaft 404. A plurality of first cleaning shafts 408 are fixed to the fixed shaft 402. Cleaning rollers are rotatably arranged on both the first cleaning shafts 408 and the second cleaning shafts 407. A guide rod 409 that slides on the connecting frame 405 is fixed to the second brush plate 406. A cleaning spring 410 sleeved on the guide rod 409 is fixed between the second brush plate 406 and the connecting frame 405. When the drum 401 rotates, it synchronously drives the fixed shaft 402, the first brush plate 403, the first cleaning shaft 408, and the cleaning rollers on the first cleaning shaft 408 to rotate circumferentially inside the cleaning box, thereby agitating and cleaning the snails and cleaning the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. This prevents impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the cleaning box 2 and improves cleaning efficiency. When the drum 401 rotates, it also drives the rotating shaft 404 to rotate circumferentially, thereby rotating the rotating shaft 404, the second brush plate 406, the second cleaning shaft 407, and the cleaning rollers on the second cleaning shaft 407 to clean the snails. The second brush plate 406 performs elastic kneading and cleaning of the snails, further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly 4 also includes a fixing frame 411 fixed above the cleaning tank 2. A first gear ring 412 is fixed to one end of the rotating drum 401 extending out of the cleaning tank 2. A cleaning motor 413 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 411. A first gear 414 meshing with the first gear ring 412 is fixed to the output end of the cleaning motor 413. A fixing rod 415 extending into the inner cavity of the rotating drum 401 is fixed to the fixing frame 411. A second gear 416 is fixed to the end of the fixing rod 415. A third gear 417 meshing with the second gear 416 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 404, which rotates into the inner cavity of the rotating drum 401. During the cleaning process, the cleaning motor 413 is started, driving the first gear 414 to rotate. The first gear 414 then drives the first gear ring 412 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating drum 401 to rotate. This causes the fixed shaft 402, the first brush plate 403, the first cleaning shaft 408, and the cleaning rollers on the first cleaning shaft 408 to rotate synchronously around the circumference inside the cleaning box to clean the snails and scrape the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. It also drives the rotating shaft 404, the second brush plate 406, the second cleaning shaft 407, and the cleaning rollers on the second cleaning shaft 407 to rotate to further clean the snails. When the rotating shaft 404 rotates around the circumference inside the cleaning box 2, the third gear 417 and the second gear 416 at the upper end of the rotating shaft 404 rotate, realizing the rotation of the rotating shaft 404, expanding the snail cleaning range, and thus improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, a torsion spring is connected to the side of the filter plate 6 and the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2. The filter assembly 7 includes a movable shaft 71 located below the filter plate 6 and rotatably connected inside the cleaning tank 2. A cam 72 is fixed to the movable shaft 71 and contacts the bottom wall of the filter plate 6. A first bevel gear 73 is fixed to one end of the movable shaft 71 extending out of the cleaning tank 2. A first connecting shaft 74 is rotatably connected to the outside of the cleaning tank 2. A first transmission belt 75 is sleeved between the upper end of the first connecting shaft 74 and the output end of the cleaning motor 413. A second bevel gear 76 meshing with the first bevel gear 73 is fixed to the bottom end of the first connecting shaft 74. Both the output end of the cleaning motor 413 and the upper end of the first connecting shaft 74 are fixed with pulleys. The first transmission belt 75 is sleeved between the two pulleys. When the output end of the cleaning motor 413 rotates, the first connecting shaft 74 is driven to rotate synchronously through the first transmission belt 75, thereby rotating the second bevel gear 76, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 73, the movable shaft 71 and the cam 72 to rotate. The cam 72 pushes the filter plate 6 to vibrate up and down relative to the cleaning box 2, filtering the impurities inside the snails and causing the cleaned snails to fall into the feeding channel 13.

[0046] Furthermore, the partition plate 5 includes two semi-circular partitions symmetrically arranged inside the cleaning tank 2. The sides of the semi-circular partitions are hinged to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2. A feeding cylinder 14 is hinged inside the cleaning tank 2, and the output end of the feeding cylinder 14 is hinged to the bottom wall of the semi-circular partition. When the partition plate 5 is closed, the partition plate 5 and the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 2 form a closed space. Water and snails are poured in for cleaning. After cleaning, the feeding cylinders 14 on both sides are activated. The output end of the feeding cylinder 14 drives the semi-circular partitions to rotate and open relative to the cleaning tank 2, allowing the snails and cleaning water to flow to the filter plate 6.

[0047] Furthermore, a fixing plate 15 is fixed to the outside of the tail-cutting box 1, and the fixing plate 15 and the outer wall of the tail-cutting box 1 enclose a closed drive cavity. The end of the tail-cutting cylinder 8 away from the feeding channel 13 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 15. The end of the tail-cutting shaft 9 extends into the drive cavity and is fixed with a fourth gear 16. The drive assembly includes a drive motor 17 installed outside the tail-cutting box 1 to drive the tail-cutting shaft 9 to rotate. A second gear ring 18 located in the drive cavity and meshing with the fourth gear 16 is sleeved on the outer wall of the tail-cutting cylinder 8. When the snail is inside the tail-cutting cylinder 8, the drive motor 17 is started, and the drive motor 17 drives the tail-cutting shaft 9 and the fourth gear 16 to rotate. The fourth gear 16 drives the second gear ring 18 and the tail-cutting cylinder 8 to rotate, realizing the automated tail-cutting operation of the snail.

[0048] Furthermore, the shearing box 1 is provided with a discharge port 19 communicating with the inner cavity of the shearing cylinder 8 on the side near the feeding channel 13. A discharge cylinder 20 is fixed outside the shearing box 1. A baffle 21 covering the discharge port 19 is fixed at the output end of the discharge cylinder 20. A screw 22 is rotatably connected between the side wall of the shearing box 1 and the fixed plate 15. A discharge motor 23 that drives the screw 22 to rotate is installed outside the shearing box 1. A limiting rod 24 parallel to the screw 22 is fixed between the side wall of the shearing box 1 and the fixed plate 15. A fixing block is threadedly connected to the screw 22. A slider is slidably connected to the limiting rod 24. A discharge plate 25 is fixed between the fixing block and the slider. The side wall of the discharge plate 25 is in contact with the inner wall of the shearing cylinder 8. After the snail tail trimming is completed, the unloading cylinder 20 pushes the baffle 21 to move and open the unloading port 19. The unloading motor 23 is started to drive the screw 22 to rotate, so that the screw 22 drives the unloading plate 25 and the slider to slide relative to the limit rod 24 through the fixed block, pushing the snails in the tail trimming cylinder 8 out of the unloading port 19, realizing the automatic unloading of the processed snails.

[0049] Furthermore, the unloading plate 25 has multiple grooves on its sidewall, and a pusher block 26 slides within each groove. A discharge spring is fixed between one end of the pusher block 26 and the inner wall of the groove, and a chamfer is formed at the end of the pusher block 26 away from the discharge spring. When the unloading plate 25 moves within the shearing cylinder 8 to push out the snails inside, the end of the pusher block 26 is pushed into the shearing hole 10 by the discharge spring, facilitating the pushing out of the snails within the shearing hole 10 and further improving unloading efficiency.

[0050] Furthermore, a movable plate 27 is rotatably connected inside the tail-cutting box 1. A cavity is formed within the movable plate 27, and a water supply pipe is fixed within the cavity. Multiple nozzles 28 are connected to the water supply pipe. When the movable plate 27 rotates, it drives the multiple nozzles 28 to rotate and remove the snail tails adhering to the tail-cutting blade 11, preventing it from affecting the subsequent tail-cutting effect of the tail-cutting blade 11. The water supply pipe is connected to an external water tank to supply water to the nozzles 28. A drain pipe and valve are installed at the bottom of the tail-cutting box 1 to allow the cut tails and water to be discharged through the drain pipe.

[0051] Furthermore, the tail-cutting box 1 is rotatably connected to a second connecting shaft 29, a third connecting shaft 30, and a fourth connecting shaft 31. One end of the second connecting shaft 29 is sleeved with a second transmission belt 32 between it and the screw 22, and the other end is fixed with a third bevel gear 33. One end of the third connecting shaft 30 is fixed with a fourth bevel gear 34 meshing with the third bevel gear 33, and the other end is fixed with a fifth bevel gear 35. One end of the fourth connecting shaft 31 is fixed with a sixth bevel gear 36 meshing with the fifth bevel gear 35, and the other end is fixed with a connecting plate 37 located inside the tail-cutting box 1. The connecting plate 37 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 38. The movable plate 27 has a through hole 12 leading to the cavity. The end of the connecting rod 38 away from the connecting plate 37 passes through the through hole 12 and is movably connected to the inner wall of the cavity. Both the screw 22 and the second connecting shaft 29 have pulleys fixed to their ends. The second transmission belt 32 is sleeved between the two pulleys. When the screw 22 rotates, it drives the unloading plate 25 to move and unload material. The second transmission belt 32 drives the second connecting shaft 29 to rotate synchronously, causing the second connecting shaft 29 and the third bevel gear 33 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the fourth bevel gear 34, the third connecting shaft 30, and the fifth bevel gear 35 to rotate. Consequently, the sixth bevel gear 36, the fourth connecting shaft 31, and the connecting plate 37 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting plate 37 drives the movable plate 27 to swing back and forth via the connecting rod 38. This causes multiple nozzles 28 to swing back and forth to remove the snail tails adhering to the tail-cutting blade 11, achieving integrated unloading and cleaning and improving overall processing efficiency. Protective covers are added to the external parts of the cleaning box 2 and the tail-cutting box 1 to extend the service life of the device.
