[0007] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly sleeved on the left end of the shaft tube, and a spring is provided on the right side of the baffle. One end of the spring abuts against the baffle, and the other end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the brush tube. The inner wall of the shaft tube and the outer wall of the connecting tube are slidably connected by a spline. The outer wall of the other end of the connecting tube is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main shaft by a spline. A cam is fixedly connected to the right side of the brush tube, and the cam is sleeved outside the shaft tube. A support tube is fixedly connected to the left side of the right side plate. A push roller is rotatably connected to the end of the support tube. The push roller cooperates with the cam, so that the brush tube reciprocates axially with the rotation of the cam.
[0008] Furthermore, a discharge cylinder is provided above the receiving cylinder. The discharge cylinder is fixedly installed on the left side plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] A shellfish processing device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the system includes a base 100, a left side plate 101 fixedly mounted on the left side of the base 100, a cleaning tank 200 mounted on the left side plate 101, two sets of support rollers 204 inside the cleaning tank 200, supporting a rotating drum 201 and a receiving cylinder 203 respectively on the two sets of support rollers 204, the rotating drum 201 and the receiving cylinder 203 fixedly connected, a spiral blade 202 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating drum 201, a brush cylinder 400 rotatably mounted inside the rotating drum 201, a main shaft 300 connected to the middle of the brush cylinder 400, and the main shaft 300 penetrating the cleaning... The cleaning tank 200 is rotatably connected to the left side plate 101. The end of the main shaft 300 is driven by the output shaft of the motor 306. The main shaft 300 is driven by the receiving cylinder 203 through the transmission mechanism. The other end of the brush cylinder 400 is axially slidable and rotatably connected to the shaft tube 600. The right side plate 102 is fixedly set on the right side of the base 100. The right end of the shaft tube 600 is rotatably connected to the right side plate 102. A matrix spray pipe 500 is set above the cleaning tank 200. The device also includes a water pump. The matrix spray pipe 500 is connected to the outlet of the water pump. When cleaning shellfish, motor 306 drives main shaft 300 to rotate, and main shaft 300 drives brush cylinder 400 to rotate. Main shaft 300 drives receiving cylinder 203 and rotating drum 201 to rotate through transmission mechanism (including driving pulley 301, driven pulley 302, etc.). Shellfish enter rotating drum 201 from receiving cylinder 203, spiral blades 202 push shellfish to move, and brush cylinder 400 scrubs the surface of shellfish. At the same time, matrix spray pipe 500 supplies water through water pump and sprays water into cleaning tank 200 to achieve efficient cleaning of shellfish.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a driving pulley 301 and a driven pulley 302. The driving pulley 301 is fixedly mounted on the main shaft 300. The driven pulley 302 passes through the cleaning tank 200 via a rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the left side plate 101. A spur gear 304 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the driven pulley 302. A transmission belt 303 is wound around the driving pulley 301 and the driven pulley 302. An internal gear 305 is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving cylinder 203 near the right side plate 102. The internal gear 305 meshes with the spur gear 304. When cleaning shellfish, the drive pulley 301 on the main shaft 300 drives the driven pulley 302 to rotate through the transmission belt 303. The shaft of the driven pulley 302 drives the spur gear 304 to rotate. The spur gear 304 meshes with the internal gear 305, thereby driving the receiving cylinder 203 and the rotating cylinder 201 to rotate in opposite or the same direction relative to the main shaft 300, enhancing the tumbling and friction of the shellfish in the rotating cylinder 201, and improving the uniformity of cleaning.
[0022] like Figure 4As shown, a connecting pipe 401 is provided between the main shaft 300 and the shaft tube 600, and the connecting pipe 401 is connected to the shaft tube 600. Multiple nozzles 402 are provided on the connecting pipe 401, and the nozzles 402 penetrate the outer wall of the brush cylinder 400. During the cleaning of shellfish, high-pressure water enters the connecting pipe 401 from the shaft tube 600, and then is sprayed into the rotating drum 201 through the multiple nozzles 402, directly rinsing the surface of the shellfish to remove attached mud and impurities, thus achieving internal spray cleaning.
[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the right end of the shaft tube 600 is rotatably connected to the right side plate 102, and the right side plate 102 is fixedly connected to the base 100. A rotating joint 603 is connected to the end of the shaft tube 600, and the rotating joint 603 communicates with the outlet of the water pump. The water pump delivers cleaning water into the shaft tube 600 through the rotating joint 603. The rotating joint 603 ensures that the shaft tube 600 can continue to supply water while rotating, allowing the shellfish to maintain a stable water pressure during the cleaning process. The water pump can be installed on the base 100.
[0024] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, a baffle 601 is fixedly sleeved on the left end of the shaft tube 600, and a spring 602 is provided on the right side of the baffle 601. One end of the spring 602 abuts against the baffle 601, and the other end of the spring 602 abuts against the inner wall of the brush cylinder 400. The inner wall of the shaft tube 600 and the outer wall of the connecting tube 401 are slidably connected by a spline. The outer wall of the other end of the connecting tube 401 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main shaft 300 by a spline. A cam 403 is fixedly connected to the right side of the brush cylinder 400 and is sleeved on the outside of the shaft tube 600. A support tube 604 is fixedly connected to the left side of the right side plate 102. A push roller 605 is rotatably connected to the end of the support tube 604. The push roller 605 cooperates with the cam 403 to make the brush cylinder 400 reciprocate axially as the cam 403 rotates. The shaft tube 600 is a hollow structure with a spline groove on its inner wall. One end of the connecting tube 401 to the main shaft 300 is also hollow, with a spline groove on its inner wall. Washers can be placed at both ends of the spring 602. These washers can more effectively resist the torque generated by rotation and prevent the spring 602 from twisting. Of course, without washers, the flat design at both ends of the spring will not affect the spring 602.
[0025] When cleaning shellfish, the rotation of the brush cylinder 400 drives the cam 403 to periodically push the actuating roller 605. The actuating roller 605 is supported by the support tube 604, which causes the brush cylinder 400 and the connecting tube 401 to slide axially and compress the spring 602. The spring 602 returns to its original position and pushes the brush cylinder 400 and the connecting tube 401 to move in the opposite direction, so that the brush cylinder 400, the connecting tube 401, and the spray pipe 402 make reciprocating axial movements in the rotating cylinder 201, dynamically spraying and washing different parts of the shellfish, which significantly improves the cleaning effect.
[0026] like Figure 7 As shown, a discharge cylinder 700 is installed above the receiving cylinder 203. The discharge cylinder 700 is fixedly installed on the left side plate 101. The discharge cylinder 700 includes a control cylinder 701, and a control plate 702 is installed through the upper wall of the control cylinder 701. The control plate 702 is fixed by screws 703. Shellfish enter the control cylinder 701 from the discharge cylinder 700. The opening of the control plate 702 is adjusted by the screws 703 to control the amount of shellfish discharged, ensuring that the number of shellfish entering the receiving cylinder 203 is appropriate, avoiding blockage or accumulation, and facilitating subsequent cleaning.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, an arc-shaped inclined plate 800 is provided inside the receiving cylinder 203, extending into the interior of the rotating drum 201. The arc-shaped inclined plate 800 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 200. The arc-shaped inclined plate 800 smoothly guides the shellfish from the receiving cylinder 203 into the rotating drum 201, reducing collision damage and ensuring that the shellfish smoothly enter the cleaning area.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a direct spray pipe 501 is installed below the rotating drum 201, and the direct spray pipe 501 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 200. The direct spray pipe 501 sprays water upward from below the rotating drum 201 to perform reverse rinsing of the bottom of the shellfish, forming a three-dimensional cleaning with the water sprayed from the top of the matrix spray pipe 500, removing stubborn dirt from the bottom of the shellfish.
[0029] like Figure 7 As shown, a straight brush 205 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rotating drum 201. The brush strip of the straight brush 205 extends axially along the inner wall of the rotating drum, with the bristles facing the axis of the rotating drum. The straight brush 205 rotates with the rotating drum 201 and works together with the brush cylinder 400 to repeatedly scrub the shells of shellfish, mainly to clean the surface deposits of shellfish.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a sieve cylinder 900 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating drum 201, and the right end of the sieve cylinder 900 is rotatably connected to the right side plate 102. Cleaned shellfish enter the sieve cylinder 900, and the rotation of the sieve cylinder 900 separates shellfish of different sizes from different apertures, achieving grading after cleaning and facilitating subsequent processing.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating drum 201 has an array of screen holes, and the receiving drum 203 has a receiving port. The screen holes on the rotating drum 201 allow wastewater and small particulate impurities to be discharged after cleaning, keeping the inside clean; the receiving port is used to receive shellfish falling from the feeding drum 700 to start the cleaning process.
