Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquatic product processing equipment technology, specifically to an automated device for cleaning and removing mussel byssal threads. Background Technology

[0002] As an important economic shellfish, mussels are processed into various forms, mainly including modern processed products such as quick-frozen granular mussels, quick-frozen half-shell mussels, and quick-frozen whole-shell mussels, as well as traditional dried products such as dried mussel granules and split-dried "butterfly mussels". In the processing of all these products, a crucial pre-treatment step is to clean the mussels thoroughly, which includes completely removing the byssal threads.

[0003] Byssal threads are strong, tough fibrous bundles of scleroprotein, primarily composed of shell matrix, that extend from the byssal pores in the mussel's foot. Their biological function is to firmly attach the mussel to rocks, seaweed, or other substrates. However, this characteristic presents significant problems during processing: First, byssal threads accumulate a large amount of impurities from seawater during growth; if not thoroughly removed, these impurities will contaminate subsequent processing steps. Second, byssal threads themselves are tough and inedible; if they remain in the finished product, they will severely affect the mussel's taste and texture. Third, processed products with byssal threads are unsightly and have damaged appearance, significantly reducing their market price and product grade.

[0004] Currently, the removal of byssal fibers in the mussel processing industry mainly relies on manual labor. This method has many drawbacks: firstly, labor costs are constantly rising, significantly increasing the production costs of enterprises; secondly, the labor intensity of operators is high, and the working environment is harsh; thirdly, the low efficiency of manual removal has become a bottleneck restricting the large-scale and automated processing of mussels, and cannot meet the high standards of efficiency and hygiene required by the modern food industry.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology, there is an urgent need to design an automated device that can efficiently and cleanly remove mussel byssal threads to replace traditional manual labor, reduce production costs and labor intensity, improve processing efficiency and product quality, and thus promote the upgrading and development of the mussel processing industry. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, an automated mussel byssal silk removal device is provided. By setting a filter screen inside the filter cylinder, a processing chamber for placing mussels and a byssal silk collection chamber surrounding it are constructed. Under the combined action of water flow and rotating agitator, the byssal silk passes through the filter holes of the filter screen and is clamped by rotating clamping rollers. Through the continuous rotation of the clamping rollers, the byssal silk can be effectively extracted from the mussels, thus solving the problem of traditional manual removal of mussel byssal silk.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automated mussel byssal silk cleaning and removal device includes: a fixed cylinder 1 with a closed disc 11 at its bottom; a filter cylinder 2, coaxially mounted on the top of the closed disc 11, the interior of the filter cylinder 2 forming a processing chamber 21 for accommodating mussels, and the outer wall of the filter cylinder 2 forming a byssal silk collection chamber 12 between the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 1; and clamping rollers 3, distributed circumferentially on the outer side of the filter cylinder 2, with a clamping gap between the clamping rollers 3 corresponding to the filter holes of the filter cylinder 2, the clamping gap being used to clamp the mussels passing through the filter holes. The byssal threads are drawn and wound into the collection chamber; the main shaft 4 is coaxially mounted on the closed disk 11, and the main shaft 4 is equipped with an agitator 41 that agitates the mussels when rotating. The main shaft 4 is connected to the clamping double rollers 3. When the agitator 41 rotates, it guides the water flow in the processing chamber 21 into the byssal thread collection chamber 12 through the filter holes of the filter screen cylinder 2. The byssal threads pass through the filter holes with the water flow and are clamped and pulled outward by the clamping gap; the rotation drive assembly is located outside the fixed cylinder 1, and its torque output end is connected to the main shaft 4.

[0031] During operation, the mussels to be processed are placed in the processing chamber 21 formed by the filter screen cylinder 2. The rotary drive assembly is activated, driving the rotating main shaft 4 and its agitator 41 to rotate. The agitator 41 agitates the mussels during rotation, simultaneously propelling the water flow, causing the water in the processing chamber 21 to flow out through the filter holes. Under the combined action of the water flow and mechanical agitation, the mussel byssal threads gradually extend and pass through the filter holes into the byssal thread collection chamber 12. The clamping rollers 3 rotate synchronously under the transmission connection, accurately clamping the protruding byssal threads through the gap between them. As the rollers continue to rotate, the byssal threads are continuously pulled out of the mussels and finally rolled into the collection chamber for collection.

[0032] The beneficial effect of this device is that it effectively separates the processing chamber 21 from the byssal silk collection chamber 12 through the filter screen cylinder 2. Combined with the water flow dynamics generated by the agitator 41 and the mechanical clamping action of the clamping rollers 3, it achieves automated and continuous extraction of mussel byssal silk, significantly improving removal efficiency. The structure is rationally designed, operates continuously and stably, effectively replacing traditional manual operation, reducing labor intensity, and avoiding damage to the mussel body, thus ensuring product quality.

[0033] like Figures 5-9 As shown, the clamping rollers 3 include a first clamping roller 31 and a second clamping roller 32 arranged parallel to each other on the outer wall of the filter screen cylinder 2. The bottom end of the first clamping roller 31 passes through the closed disk 11 and is connected to the rotating main shaft 4 for transmission. A first rubber sleeve 33 is sleeved on the first clamping roller 31, and a second rubber sleeve 34 is sleeved on the second clamping roller 32.

[0034] When the rotary drive assembly is activated, the main shaft 4 drives the first clamping roller 31 to rotate via the transmission mechanism, and the second clamping roller 32 rotates accordingly. The rubber sleeves on the two rollers rotate in opposite directions. The mussel byssal threads passing through the filter holes are accurately guided into the flexible clamping gap formed by the pair of rubber sleeves. Utilizing the high friction and elastic deformation of the rubber material, the byssal threads are firmly clamped without being cut or damaged. As the clamping rollers 3 continue to rotate, the byssal threads are smoothly and continuously extracted from the processing chamber 21 and guided to the byssal thread collection chamber 12.

[0035] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the second rubber sleeve 34 is composed of independent rubber rings 341 arranged along the length of the second clamping roller 32; the inner diameter of each rubber ring 341 is larger than the diameter of the second clamping roller 32; a coaxial elastic reset mechanism is provided between the rubber ring 341 and the second clamping roller 32; when the rubber ring 341 is subjected to external force and deviates from the axis of the second clamping roller 32, it is necessary to overcome the reset force provided by the coaxial elastic reset mechanism.

[0036] During the byss wire extraction process, when unevenly sized or clump-like byss wires enter the clamping gap, they exert uneven pressure on the local rubber rings 341. At this time, the individual rubber rings 341 directly impacted can undergo slight deflection and retraction within permissible limits, effectively preventing the byss wires from jamming or breaking. Simultaneously, adjacent rings not directly impacted can maintain their original positions and continue performing the clamping task. As the clamping rollers 3 rotate, after the byss wire clump passes through, the deflected rings quickly return to their original position under the action of the internal elastic reset mechanism, restoring to the optimal clamping state, thereby ensuring the continuity and adaptability of the extraction process.

[0037] like Figure 9 As shown, the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the rubber ring 341 both have tapered surfaces; the coaxial elastic reset mechanism includes an abutment ring 342 that abuts against the tapered surface of the rubber ring 341, and an elastic element 343 that is coaxially disposed between two opposing abutment rings 342.

[0038] When the rubber ring 341 needs to deflect due to force, the conical surface of its inner cavity slides along the contact surface of the abutment ring 342. This conical mating structure naturally guides the ring to perform a self-centering tilting movement, while simultaneously transmitting the deflection force to the intermediate elastic element 343. The elastic element 343 is then compressed or bent, accumulating reset energy. Once the abnormal external force that caused the ring deflection (such as a ball of byss wire) passes, the energy accumulated by the compressed elastic element 343 is immediately released, pushing the upper and lower abutment rings 342 back to their conical positions, thereby accurately and automatically restoring the rubber ring 341 to its initial working position coaxial with the clamping roller, preparing it for the next clamping.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a transmission assembly that drives the rotating main shaft 4 and the first clamping roller 31. The transmission assembly includes: a gear 61, which is coaxially fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the first clamping roller 31; an internal gear ring 62, which is coaxially rotatably disposed at the bottom of the closed disk 11, and the internal gear ring 62 meshes with the gear 61; and a connecting frame, which has a connecting cylinder 621 coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating main shaft 4 and a connecting ring 622 coaxially fixedly connected to the internal gear ring 62, and a connecting plate 623 is disposed between the connecting cylinder 621 and the connecting ring 622.

[0040] When the rotary drive assembly is activated, driving the main rotating shaft 4 to rotate, the connecting frame fixed to it rotates synchronously. The rotation of the connecting frame drives the connecting ring 622 on it, which in turn drives the internal gear ring 62 fixed to it to rotate. The rotation of the internal gear ring 62 is transmitted to the gear 61 at the bottom of the first clamping roller 31 through gear 61 meshing, ultimately driving the first clamping roller 31 to rotate. Through this transmission chain, the synchronous transmission of power from the central rotating main shaft 4 to one of the circumferential clamping rollers 3 is realized.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, the agitator 41 includes an agitator sleeve 411 coaxially connected to the rotating main shaft 4, and the agitator sleeve 411 is provided with arc-shaped blades 412 distributed along its circumference.

[0042] When the main shaft 4 rotates under the drive of the drive assembly, it synchronously drives the agitator sleeve 411 and its arc-shaped blades 412 to rotate. As these arc-shaped blades 412 rotate, their unique curved surfaces smoothly agitate the water flow and mussels, forming a continuous spiral water flow around the axis. This water flow not only effectively agitates the mussels, ensuring full contact between all parts and promoting the extension of byssal threads, but also generates an outward guiding force, gently and continuously pushing the water and extended byssal threads in the treatment chamber 21 towards the filter holes of the filter cylinder 2, creating favorable conditions for subsequent byssal thread removal.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the top of the closed disc 11 is provided with a collection groove 111 communicating with the collection chamber and a connecting groove 112 extending radially along the closed disc 11. The connecting groove 112 communicates with the collection groove 111, and the top of the collection groove 111 is provided with a perforated filter ring 13. Water can pass through the filter holes of the filter cylinder 2, the collection chamber, the collection groove 111 and the connecting groove 112 in sequence, and finally re-enter the treatment chamber 21, thereby forming a circulating water flow path; the footwire passes through the filter holes of the filter cylinder 2 under the drive of the water flow.

[0044] Driven by the rotation of the arc-shaped blades 412, the water in the treatment chamber 21 carries the extended byssal threads through the filter holes into the collection chamber. The byssal threads are captured and retained in the collection chamber by the clamping rollers 3, while the water that has separated the byssal threads continues to flow downwards, undergoing secondary filtration through the perforated filter ring 13 at the top of the collection tank 111 to ensure no byssal threads remain. Subsequently, this relatively clean water flow is guided by the radial connecting groove 112 and smoothly flows back into the treatment chamber 21. This process repeats continuously, forming a continuous, closed circulating water path within the entire device.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the perforated filter box extends upward to form a lifting tube 131, and a limiting ring 132 is provided at the top of the lifting tube 131, which is coaxial with it and abuts against the top of the fixed tube 1.

[0046] When it is necessary to clean the accumulated byss wire in the collection chamber or to perform equipment maintenance, the operator can directly apply force through the lifting cylinder 131. The abutment design between the limiting ring 132 and the top of the fixing cylinder 1 not only provides precise installation positioning for the perforated filter box, ensuring that the collection groove 111 below is aligned with the flow channel of the connecting groove 112, but also forms a force-bearing point. When pulling upward, the force is evenly transmitted to the entire perforated filter box through the lifting cylinder 131, allowing it to be smoothly and steadily removed from the collection chamber along with the trapped byss wire.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the agitator sleeve 411 is splined with the rotating spindle 4. The top end of the rotating spindle 4 is provided with a limiting bolt 42 that is threadedly connected to it. The top end of the limiting bolt 42 is provided with a limiting seat 421 that abuts against the top end of the agitator sleeve 411.

[0048] The agitator sleeve 411 slides into a predetermined position along the splined shaft of the rotating main shaft 4 through the spline groove of its inner hole. Then, the limiting bolt 42 at the top is tightened, causing the limiting seat 421 at the end to firmly abut against the top end face of the agitator sleeve 411, thereby eliminating the possibility of axial movement and firmly locking the agitator sleeve 411 in the working position. When it is necessary to disassemble, clean, or replace the agitator 41, simply loosen the limiting bolt 42 in the opposite direction to release the axial constraint, and the entire agitator sleeve 411 can be easily pulled upwards along the main shaft.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, a handle 422 extending radially along the stirring sleeve 411 is provided on the limiting seat 421.

[0050] When it is necessary to install or remove the agitator sleeve 411, the operator can easily tighten or loosen the limiting bolt 42 by simply holding the radially extending handle 422 without the need for other tools. The leverage effect of the handle 422 allows sufficient torque to be generated with a small force, ensuring that the limiting bolt 42 can be tightened in place or easily removed. During adjustment or maintenance, the presence of the handle 422 makes the entire operation more labor-saving and efficient.

[0051] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
