Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of scallop processing equipment technology, specifically to a fully automated processing equipment and method for scallop processing. Background Technology

[0002] Scallops are bivalve mollusks and one of the main farmed shellfish along my country's coast. Scallop meat, especially the adductor muscle, is delicious and rich in various essential amino acids, proteins, trace elements, and fatty acids. With the improvement of people's living standards, scallop meat has become increasingly popular among consumers.

[0003] Traditional scallop processing relies heavily on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency, high labor intensity, unstable hygiene conditions, and high product damage rates. Existing automated equipment often has limited functionality or insufficient reliability in key processes such as sorting and orientation, easily leading to material congestion, inconsistent postures, and incomplete meat extraction, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale, high-quality processing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automated processing equipment and method for scallop processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic processing equipment for scallop processing, including an equipment support frame, a cleaning box fixedly installed on the upper part of one end of the equipment support frame, a plurality of roller brushes rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the cleaning box via bearings, a sorting mechanism installed on the end of the equipment support frame near the cleaning box, a V-shaped chute provided on the side of the sorting mechanism near the bottom of the cleaning box, the V-shaped chute being located below the cleaning box, and a distribution chute provided on the side of the sorting mechanism away from the V-shaped chute;

[0006] A high-temperature steam heating mechanism for heating scallops is installed above the sorting mechanism. A circulating conveying mechanism is installed inside the equipment support frame on the side of the distribution slide away from the sorting mechanism. Two sets of meat-removing mechanisms are installed above the circulating conveying mechanism. Each set of meat-removing mechanisms has an opening seat and a motor frame arranged in sequence on the side of the distribution slide. The side of the opening seat away from the meat-removing mechanism is set in a V-shaped wedge angle.

[0007] Two sets of adjusting wheels are rotatably mounted on the side of the motor frame. The adjusting wheels are driven by the motor shaft of the first servo motor fixedly mounted on the side of the motor frame. Each meat-retrieving mechanism is provided with a guide slide on its side, and a collection box is installed at one end of the guide slide.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the sorting mechanism includes a limiting cover plate fixedly installed in the equipment support frame. A crankshaft is rotatably installed below the limiting cover plate via a bearing seat. The crankshaft is driven by the motor shaft of a second servo motor fixedly installed in the equipment support frame. Swing arms are fixedly connected to two adjacent rotating shafts of the crankshaft. The upper ends of the two swing arms are rotatably connected to lifting rods via rotating shafts. The two lifting rods pass through the limiting cover plate upwards. A diversion groove is fixedly installed at the upper end of each of the two lifting rods.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the circulating conveying mechanism includes a chain disposed within a device support frame, with sprockets symmetrically meshing at both ends of the inner side of the chain, and a drive shaft being fixedly inserted through the side of the sprocket. Both ends of the drive shaft are rotatably mounted with bearing seats via bearings, and one of the drive shafts is driven by a drive mechanism.

[0011] Multiple dual-station connecting plates are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the chain. Clamps are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the dual-station connecting plates. The clamps are generally concave in shape, and the two sides of the clamps are inclined and close together to tighten. Support seats are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the chain.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the two sets of meat-removing mechanisms are fixedly mounted on a drive shaft, which is driven by a drive mechanism. Bearing seats are rotatably mounted on both ends of the drive shaft via bearings, and the bearing seats are mounted on the equipment support frame.

[0013] The meat-removing mechanism includes a meat-removing rotating plate fixedly sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft, with two guide channels diagonally opened at both ends of the meat-removing rotating plate;

[0014] The rotating meat-retrieving plate has two discharge ports on the side near the guide slide, and the ends of the two discharge ports that are far apart from each other are respectively connected to two guide channels;

[0015] The meat-removing rotating plate is symmetrically equipped with meat-cutting mechanisms at both ends. A synchronization mechanism is installed on the side of the two meat-cutting mechanisms that are far apart from each other. A self-locking mechanism is installed at the end of the synchronization mechanism. Two extrusion mechanisms adapted to the self-locking mechanism are installed inside the equipment support frame.

[0016] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the meat cutting mechanism includes meat cutting blades symmetrically and movably mounted at the end of the meat cutting rotating plate. Multiple partitions are fixedly connected to the side of the meat cutting blade away from the blade edge. The partitions on the two meat cutting blades are staggered and the two meat cutting blades are symmetrically and obliquely distributed.

[0017] Two meat-removing knives are fixedly connected to the sides of a transmission frame. A fixed plate is provided between the two transmission frames. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the meat-removing rotating plate. A limit rod is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate. One end of the limit rod passes through the adjacent transmission frame and is fixedly sleeved with a positioning ring. A return spring is sleeved on the outside of the limit rod.

[0021] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the extrusion mechanism includes a sector block fixedly mounted on the equipment support frame, and an extrusion block is provided on the outer side of the sector block. The extrusion block is located on the rotation path of the limiting roller centered on the axis of the drive shaft.

[0022] A fully automated processing method for scallops:

[0023] Step 1: Wash and evenly coat the scallops;

[0024] The scallops are evenly placed into the cleaning box. They fall downwards along both sides of the central roller brush, passing through the cleaning action of the central roller brush and the two roller brushes on the same side, and finally fall downwards in two rows at the bottom of the box. The five sets of roller brushes are arranged in a "three same and two opposite" rotating pattern to generate strong friction to clean the scallops. The roller brushes automatically change direction once per minute. This design not only ensures that there are no dead corners in the cleaning, but also uses the guiding nature of the roller brushes to evenly distribute the scallops and rationally distribute them into the V-shaped chute below, effectively avoiding congestion in subsequent work stations.

[0025] Step 2: Sorting and steam pretreatment;

[0026] After cleaning, the scallops fall into the V-shaped chute. The two diversion channels in the sorting mechanism move up and down alternately to separate the scallops remaining in the V-shaped chute into individual pieces and transfer them to the distribution chute. During the process of separating and transferring the scallops individually, the scallops are heated by high-temperature steam through a high-temperature steam heating mechanism to promote the opening and shaping of the scallops.

[0027] Step 3: Scallop adjustment and opening;

[0028] The scallops that have undergone initial opening slide down the distribution chute onto the circulating conveyor mechanism. The circulating conveyor mechanism drives the scallops to pass under the adjusting wheel, the opening seat, and the meat extraction mechanism in sequence. When the scallops are under the adjusting wheel, the adjusting wheel drives the scallop shell to rotate, keeping the scallops with their openings facing upwards. Then the scallops pass under the opening seat, and the V-shaped wedge of the opening seat passes through the opening of the scallop, thereby widening the opening of the scallop to facilitate subsequent meat extraction.

[0029] Step 4: Remove the meat;

[0030] When the open scallop moves to the bottom of the meat extraction mechanism, the meat extraction mechanism first separates the scallop meat from the scallop shell, and at the same time brings the scallop meat out of the scallop shell;

[0031] Step 5: Collection;

[0032] The scallop meat is fed into the guide chute by the meat extraction mechanism, and then rolls down the guide chute into the collection box for collection.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0034] 1. The "three same and two opposite" reversing roller brush design in the cleaning box achieves efficient cleaning and uniform material distribution simultaneously, preventing congestion from the source; the scallops are transported separately by the sorting mechanism. During the sorting process, the scallops are heated by high-temperature steam, which promotes the opening and shaping of the scallops. This creates conditions for opening the shells while efficiently separating individuals and protecting the meat quality.

[0035] 2. The scallops are transported to the adjustment wheel, opening seat and meat extraction mechanism through the circulation conveyor. After the opening adjustment, shell opening and meat extraction operations, the scallop shells are finally thrown into the recycling box and returned to the starting point through the chain drive system, forming a circular operation flow. The adjusted scallops keep the opening facing upwards and then undergo the flaring process to facilitate the subsequent meat extraction operation.

[0036] 3. The rotating meat-removing mechanism extracts scallop meat. When one set of cutting mechanisms has finished extracting the scallop meat and clamped it, another set of cutting mechanisms in the extraction mechanism releases its grip, allowing the scallop meat to fall downwards into the guide chute. The scallop meat then rolls along the guide chute into the collection box for collection. The integrated functions of circulating conveying, automatic orientation correction, mechanical shell opening, and precise meat extraction ensure high reliability and high yield in the core processing stage. The machine adopts a dual-station parallel workflow, which can double the efficiency of traditional mechanisms, significantly improving efficiency and stabilizing quality.

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 16This invention provides a technical solution: a fully automatic processing equipment for scallop processing, including an equipment support frame 1. A cleaning box 11 is fixedly installed on the upper part of one end of the equipment support frame 1. Multiple roller brushes 12 are rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the cleaning box 11 through bearings. A sorting mechanism is installed on the end of the equipment support frame 1 near the cleaning box 11. A V-shaped chute 2 is provided on the side of the sorting mechanism near the bottom of the cleaning box 11. The V-shaped chute 2 is located below the cleaning box 11. A distribution slide 21 is provided on the side of the sorting mechanism away from the V-shaped chute 2. The V-shaped chute 2 and the distribution slide 21 are installed on the equipment support frame 1. The V-shaped chute 2 and the distribution slide 21 are both inclined downwards. The V-shaped chute 2 and the distribution slide 21 are both recessed downwards to form two sets of symmetrical V-shaped slides. The V-shaped chute 2 gradually slopes downwards on the side near the sorting mechanism, and the distribution slide 21 gradually slopes downwards on the side away from the sorting mechanism.

[0056] There are five roller brushes 12, four of which are symmetrically distributed left and right and in pairs up and down, that is, two rows of symmetrical roller brushes on the left and right, and two roller brushes in each row are symmetrically distributed up and down. The remaining one is located in the center between the four roller brushes 12. After the scallops enter the cleaning box 11, the scallops fall down along both sides of the roller brush 12 located in the center. They are cleaned by the central roller brush 12 and the two roller brushes 12 on the same side, and finally fall down in two rows at the bottom of the box. One end of the five roller brushes 12 is controlled by a five-wheel synchronous belt system, which is driven by a geared motor.

[0057] Five sets of roller brushes 12 are arranged in a "three same and two opposite" rotation pattern to generate strong friction to clean the scallops; the geared motor is set to automatically switch directions once per minute. This design not only ensures that there are no dead corners in the cleaning, but also uses the guiding properties of the roller brushes 12 to evenly distribute the scallops and reasonably allocate them into the V-shaped chute 2 below, effectively avoiding congestion in subsequent work stations.

[0058] A high-temperature steam heating mechanism for heating scallops is installed above the sorting mechanism. A circulating conveyor mechanism is installed inside the equipment support frame 1 on the side of the distribution slide 21 away from the sorting mechanism. The heated scallops are sent to the distribution slide 21 through the sorting mechanism. The scallops slide down the distribution slide 21 onto the circulating conveyor mechanism. Two sets of meat-removing mechanisms are installed above the circulating conveyor mechanism. Each set of meat-removing mechanisms has an opening seat 48 and a motor frame 46 arranged in sequence on the side of the distribution slide 21. The motor frame 46 is located upstream of the opening seat 48. The side of the opening seat 48 away from the meat-removing mechanism is set in a V-shaped wedge angle. The front end of the V-shaped wedge angle is used to insert into the wedge tip at the opening of the scallop, thereby opening the scallop.

[0059] Two sets of adjusting wheels 47 are rotatably mounted on the side of the motor frame 46. The adjusting wheels 47 are driven by the motor shaft of the first servo motor fixedly mounted on the side of the motor frame 46. Each meat taking mechanism is provided with a guide slide 55 on its side. The guide slide 55 is distributed at an angle downward. A collection box 56 is installed at one end of the guide slide 55. Both the guide slide 55 and the collection box 56 are mounted on the equipment support frame 1.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sorting mechanism includes a limiting cover plate 3 fixedly installed inside the equipment support frame 1. A crankshaft 31 is rotatably mounted below the limiting cover plate 3 via bearing seats. The crankshaft 31 is driven by the motor shaft of a second servo motor fixedly installed inside the equipment support frame 1. Both ends of the crankshaft 31 are rotatably connected to two bearing seats via bearings. The bearing seats are fixedly installed on the equipment support frame 1. Swing arms 32 are fixedly connected to two adjacent rotating shafts of the crankshaft 31. The upper ends of both swing arms 32 are rotatably connected to lifting rods 33 via rotating shafts. Both lifting rods 33 extend upwards... The lifting rod 33 is slidably connected to the limiting cover plate 3 and the limiting cover plate 3. The limiting cover plate 3 guides the lifting rod 33 so that the lifting rod 33 can move up and down stably. A diversion groove 34 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each of the two lifting rods 33. Baffles 35 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower end of the two diversion grooves 34 near the side of the V-shaped slide 2. Two sets of symmetrical V-shaped slides are formed by downward indentation in the diversion groove 34. The V-shaped slide 2, the diversion groove 34 and the V-shaped slide in the distribution slide 21 are adapted to ensure that the scallops can be stably transported along the V-shaped slide.

[0061] The crankshaft 31 is driven to rotate by the motor shaft of the servo motor. When the crankshaft 31 rotates, the rotational motion is converted into reciprocating up and down linear motion through the lifting frame 33, thereby driving the two diversion channels 34 to move up and down alternately, cleverly separating the scallops stuck in the V-shaped slide 2 into individual pieces.

[0062] When one of the diversion channels 34 near the V-shaped chute 2 moves to the bottom of the V-shaped chute 2, or when the diversion channel 34 and the V-shaped channel of the V-shaped chute 2 are aligned, the scallop slides along the V-shaped chute 2 onto the diversion channel 34. At this time, the diversion channel 34 moves upward, and the diversion channel 34 drives the baffle 35 to move upward simultaneously. The baffle 35 blocks the V-shaped channel of the V-shaped chute 2, preventing the scallop from continuing to slide down and falling off. Meanwhile, the other diversion channel 34 near the distribution channel 21 moves downward. When the V-shaped channels of the two diversion channels 34 are aligned... When the slides are aligned, or when the diversion channel 34 near the distribution slide 21 is below the diversion channel 34 near the V-shaped slide 2, the scallops slide down the upstream diversion channel 34 into the downstream diversion channel 34. Then the downstream diversion channel 34 moves upward and the upstream diversion channel 34 moves downward. At this time, the baffle 35 below the downstream diversion channel 34 blocks the V-shaped slide in the upstream diversion channel 34. At the same time, the scallops slide down the downstream diversion channel 34 into the distribution slide 21. This process is repeated to continuously transport the scallops.

[0063] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The high-temperature steam heating mechanism includes high-temperature steam nozzles 24 symmetrically installed above the diversion channel 34. The nozzles of the high-temperature steam nozzles 24 are tilted downwards towards the V-shaped slide of the diversion channel 34. To ensure stability, the high-temperature steam nozzles 24 can be installed on the equipment support frame 1 by means of a bracket. A steam pipe 23 is installed at the lower end of the high-temperature steam nozzles 24. The end of the steam pipe 23 away from the high-temperature steam nozzles 24 is connected to the output end of the high-temperature steam injection device. A water tank 22 is installed below the high-temperature steam injection device.

[0064] When scallops enter the sorting mechanism, high-temperature steam is sent into the high-temperature steam nozzle 24 through the steam pipe 23 by the high-temperature steam jet device. The high-temperature steam is sprayed downward along the nozzle of the high-temperature steam nozzle 24 and enters the V-shaped slide of the diversion trough 34, thereby heating the scallops in the V-shaped slide. By spraying the sorted individual scallops with high-temperature steam for a short time, the adductor muscle of the scallop is slightly opened due to heat stress, and the surface protein is initially coagulated, which is conducive to subsequent shell opening and ensures the integrity of the meat when it is extracted.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 7 to 9The circulating conveying mechanism includes a chain 4 installed in the equipment support frame 1. The two ends of the chain 4 are symmetrically meshed with sprockets 41. A drive shaft 42 is fixedly inserted through the side of the sprocket 41. Both ends of the drive shaft 42 are rotatably mounted with bearing seats. The bearing seats are mounted on the equipment support frame 1. One of the drive shafts 42 is driven by a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor. The drive motor is mounted on the equipment support frame 1 through a motor frame. The motor shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a drive gear. The side of the drive gear is meshed with a synchronous gear. The synchronous gear is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 42.

[0066] Multiple double-station connecting plates 43 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the chain 4. Clamps 44 are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the double-station connecting plates 43. The clamps 44 are concave in shape, and the concave cavity is used to place scallops. The two sides of the clamps 44 are inclined and close together, but do not contact each other. When the clamps 44 move with the chain 4 above the sprocket 41, the clamps 44 are below the opening seat 48 and the adjusting wheel 47. At this time, the inclined sides of the clamps 44 are close to the distribution slide 21. Viewed from above, the two sides of the clamps 44 close to the distribution slide 21 are... The chain 4 is symmetrically distributed in a figure-eight shape, with support seats 45 symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end. When the dual-station connecting plate 43 moves to the top with the chain 4, the dual-station connecting plate 43 moves along the upper end of the support seat 45. The support seat 45 supports the dual-station connecting plate 43, ensuring the stability of the dual-station connecting plate 43 and the clamp 44 when adjusting, opening and removing meat from the scallops. The support seat 45 is an aluminum alloy frame with multiple rollers equidistantly mounted on the upper end. When in use, the lower end of the dual-station connecting plate 43 rolls along the upper end of the rollers.

[0067] By controlling the running speed of the second servo motor and the drive mechanism, when the two clamps 44 in the circulating conveying mechanism move to the lower side of the distribution slide 21, the scallops slide down the two V-shaped slides of the distribution slide 21 into the two clamps 44. This process is repeated so that the single scallops fall into the clamps 44 one by one.

[0068] The drive mechanism drives the transmission shaft 42 to rotate, the transmission shaft 42 drives the chain 4 to rotate through the sprocket 41, and the chain 4 drives the clamp 44 to rotate cyclically through the double-station connecting plate 43, thereby conveying the scallops.

[0069] After the clamp 44 moves the scallop to below the adjusting wheel 47, the opening correction mechanism composed of two narrow adjusting wheels 47, whose width is slightly smaller than the opening of the scallop after being treated by the high-temperature steam heating mechanism, is driven by two first servo motors respectively. The second adjusting wheel 47 and the motor serve as motion redundancy. The force feedback of the motor determines whether the scallop opening is facing upward, ensuring that scallops with openings facing upward can pass normally; scallops with openings facing downward will be assisted by the adjusting wheel 47 to flip to the position with different forces according to the magnitude of the force feedback, ensuring that all scallops enter the precise shell opening and column removal station with a uniform opening upward posture.

[0070] Once the scallop openings are adjusted so that they all face upwards, the clamp 44 in the circulating conveyor mechanism drives the scallops through the opening seat 48 from below. The V-shaped wedge of the opening seat 48 passes through the opening of the scallop, thereby enlarging the opening of the scallop and facilitating the subsequent extraction of meat.

[0071] The scallop is restrained by the inward-tightening inclined side of the clamp 44 to prevent it from falling out of the clamp 44 during adjustment and flaring.

[0072] The circulating conveyor is used to receive individual scallops after sorting and send them to the subsequent adjustment wheel 47, opening seat 48 and meat extraction mechanism. After opening adjustment, shell opening and meat extraction, the scallop shells are finally thrown into the recycling bin and returned to the starting point through the chain drive system, forming a circular operation flow.

[0073] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The two meat-removing mechanisms are fixedly mounted on a drive shaft 5. The drive shaft 5 is driven by a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism has the same structure as the drive mechanism that drives the transmission shaft 42 to rotate, so it will not be described in detail here. The two ends of the drive shaft 5 are rotatably mounted with bearing seats through bearings. The bearing seats are mounted on the equipment support frame 1.

[0074] The meat retrieval mechanism includes a meat retrieval rotating plate 51 that is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft 5. The meat retrieval rotating plate 51 has two guide channels 52 diagonally opened at both ends.

[0075] Please see Figure 11 When the meat-removing rotating plate 51 rotates to a vertical position, one of the guide channels 52 is opened on the left side of the upper end of the meat-removing rotating plate 51, and the other guide channel 52 is opened on the right side of the lower end of the meat-removing rotating plate 51.

[0076] Two discharge ports 53 are provided on the side of the rotating meat-retrieving plate 51 near the guide slide 55. The ends of the two discharge ports 53 that are far apart from each other are connected to two guide channels 52 respectively. A guide channel 52 and a discharge port 53 provided by the rotating meat-retrieving plate 51 cooperate to form a scallop meat sliding channel.

[0077] Meat cutting mechanisms are symmetrically installed at both ends of the rotating meat plate 51. A synchronization mechanism is installed on the side of the two meat cutting mechanisms that are far apart from each other. A self-locking mechanism is installed at the end of the synchronization mechanism. Two squeezing mechanisms adapted to the self-locking mechanism are installed in the equipment support frame 1. The squeezing mechanism pushes the self-locking mechanism to release the self-locking mechanism from the synchronization mechanism.

[0078] Please see Figure 11 The guide channels 52, the discharge port 53, the meat cutting mechanism, the synchronization mechanism and the self-locking mechanism at both ends of the meat rotating plate 51 are centrally symmetrical about the axis of the drive shaft 5.

[0079] Please see Figures 10 to 13 The meat cutting mechanism includes meat-removing blades 54 symmetrically and movably mounted at the end of the meat-removing rotating plate 51. Multiple partitions are fixedly connected to the side of the meat-removing blade 54 away from the blade edge. The partitions on the two meat-removing blades 54 are staggered. When the two meat-removing blades 54 approach each other, the partitions move alternately without obstructing each other. The two meat-removing blades 54 are symmetrically and inclined. The ends of the two meat-removing blades 54 away from the meat-removing rotating plate 51 gradually approach each other, and the gap between them becomes smaller and smaller, which fits the angle of the scallop opening more closely. This allows the meat-removing blades 54 to remove the scallop meat from the scallop shell more completely and easily when cutting and separating the scallop meat from the scallop shell.

[0080] When the meat cutting mechanism rotates to the bottom, it is positioned on the moving and conveying path of the clamp 44 and the scallop, thus enabling the meat cutting mechanism to complete the meat removal operation from the scallop.

[0081] Two meat-removing blades 54 are fixedly connected to the sides of a transmission frame 62. A fixed plate 6 is provided between the two transmission frames 62. The fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to the meat-removing rotating plate 51. A limit rod 61 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate 6. One end of the limit rod 61 passes through the adjacent transmission frame 62 and is fixedly sleeved with a positioning ring. The transmission frame 62 is slidably connected to the limit rod 61. A return spring 63 is sleeved on the outside of the limit rod 61. The two ends of the return spring 63 abut against the fixed plate 6 and the transmission frame 62 respectively. The return spring 63 applies elastic force to the transmission frame 62.

[0082] Please see Figures 11 to 14The synchronization mechanism includes a mounting shaft 64 fixedly connected to the side of the meat-retrieving rotating plate 51. A transmission gear 65 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the mounting shaft 64 via a bearing. A first toothed plate 66 and a second toothed plate 67 mesh with the side of the transmission gear 65. The first toothed plate 66 and the second toothed plate 67 are centrally symmetrical about the axis of the transmission gear 65. Initially, the distance between the end of the first toothed plate 66 and the guide slide 55 is greater than the distance between the end of the second toothed plate 67 and the guide slide 55. One end of the first toothed plate 66 is fixedly connected to a transmission frame 62, and one end of the second toothed plate 67 is fixedly connected to another transmission frame 62 via a support member.

[0083] The transmission gear 65 makes the first toothed plate 66 and the second toothed plate 67 move in opposite directions, so that the two transmission frames 62 drive the two meat-removing knives 54 to move synchronously closer or synchronously away.

[0084] The drive mechanism drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate continuously, and the drive shaft 5 drives the two meat-removing mechanisms on it to rotate synchronously. When the clamp 44 moves the scallop that has completed opening to the bottom of the meat-removing mechanism, the meat-removing mechanism completes the scallop meat removal operation.

[0085] The drive shaft 5 drives two meat-removing rotating plates 51 to rotate synchronously. The meat-removing rotating plates 51 drive the meat-cutting mechanisms at both ends to reciprocate in a circular motion. When the clamp 44 moves the scallop with the opening completed to the bottom of the meat-cutting mechanism, the meat-removing rotating plate 51 drives a set of meat-cutting mechanisms to contact the scallop, so that the meat-cutting mechanism passes through the inside of the scallop shell. At this time, the two meat-removing knives 54 pass through along the inner wall of the scallop, thereby completing the separation between the scallop meat, adductor muscle and scallop shell. At the same time, the two meat-removing knives 54 drive the cut scallop meat to rotate upward synchronously.

[0086] At this time, the two meat-removing knives 54 press and contact with the inclined side of the clamp 44. The inclined side of the clamp 44 pushes the two meat-removing knives 54 closer to each other. The two meat-removing knives 54 drive the two transmission frames 62 to move closer to the fixed plate 6. The transmission frames 62 slide along the limit rod 61. At the same time, the transmission frames 62 compress the reset spring. The two meat-removing knives 54 clamp the scallop meat to prevent the scallop meat from falling off during the upward rotation process.

[0087] As the two meat-removing knives 54 move relative to each other, they drive the synchronization mechanism to move. The synchronization mechanism is used to ensure that the two meat-removing knives 54 can move closer to or further away from the scallop meat in sync. When the two meat-removing knives 54 pass through the inclined side of the clamp 44, the self-locking mechanism locks the synchronization mechanism, preventing it from moving and thus preventing the two meat-removing knives 54 from moving away from each other. This allows the two meat-removing knives 54 to firmly clamp the scallop meat, effectively preventing the scallop meat from falling off due to centrifugal force during the upward rotation.

[0088] When the two meat-removing blades 54 clamp the scallop meat and rotate upwards to approach the squeezing mechanism, the squeezing mechanism triggers the self-locking mechanism, causing the self-locking mechanism to release its lock on the synchronization mechanism. At this time, under the action of the reset spring 63, the two transmission frames 62 are pushed away from the fixed plate 6. The two transmission frames 62 drive the two meat-removing blades 54 to move away from each other, causing the two meat-removing blades 54 to release their clamping on the scallop meat.

[0089] At this time, the drive shaft 5 drives the meat-removing blade 54 to continue rotating upward through the meat-removing rotating plate 51. When the end of the meat-removing rotating plate 51 containing scallop meat rotates to a height above the extrusion mechanism, the scallop meat will slide into the guide channel 52. The scallop meat slides along the guide channel 52 into the discharge port 53. Finally, the scallop meat slides along the discharge port 53 into the guide slide 55. The scallop meat then rolls along the guide slide 55 into the collection box 56 for collection.

[0090] One end of the meat-removing rotating plate 51 rotates upward and the other end rotates downward. At this time, the meat-cutting mechanism that clamps the scallop meat rotates upward and the meat-cutting mechanism that does not contain scallop meat rotates downward, ready to perform the meat-removing operation.

[0091] This process is repeated, allowing for continuous extraction of meat from scallops.

[0092] Please see Figures 12 to 14 The self-locking mechanism is installed on the side of the meat-retrieving rotating plate 51. The self-locking mechanism is located at the end of the second toothed plate 67 furthest from the support member. The self-locking mechanism includes a limiting seat 7 fixedly connected to the side of the meat-retrieving rotating plate 51. A slot 71 is provided on the side of the limiting seat 7. A concave frame 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the slot 71. A smooth rod 81 is movably inserted through the side of the concave frame 8. A locking block 82 is fixedly connected to the end of the smooth rod 81 located inside the concave frame 8. A locking spring 83 is sleeved on the outer side of the end of the smooth rod 81 located inside the concave frame 8. Both ends abut against the concave frame 8 and the locking block 82 respectively. The locking spring 83 applies elastic force to the locking block 82. One end of the locking block 82 passes through the limiting seat 7 and extends into the slot 71. The locking block 82 is slidably connected to the limiting seat 7. The side of the locking block 82 located in the slot 71 and near the second toothed plate 67 is cut off to form a pressing slope. The end of the second toothed plate 67 near the locking block 82 is fixedly connected to the mating block 72. The mating block 72 is slidably connected to the slot 71. The side of the mating block 72 is provided with a mating groove 73 that is compatible with the locking block 82.

[0093] A roller frame 84 is fixedly connected to the end of the smooth rod 81 away from the locking block 82, and a limit roller 85 is rotatably installed in the roller frame 84 via a rotating shaft.

[0094] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 The extrusion mechanism includes a sector block 9 fixedly installed on the equipment support frame 1. The sector block 9 is connected to the equipment support frame 1 through a fixing block. An extrusion block 91 is provided on the outer side of the sector block 9. The upper and lower sides of the extrusion block 91 are both sloping surfaces. The upper and lower sides of the extrusion block 91 are gradually inclined inward. The extrusion block 91 is located on the rotation path of the limiting roller 85 centered on the axis of the drive shaft 5.

[0095] When the two meat-removing knives 54 approach each other to clamp the scallop meat, the two transmission frames 62 drive the first toothed plate 66 and the second toothed plate 67 to move in opposite directions. The second toothed plate 67 drives the docking block 72 to insert into the slot 71.

[0096] When the mating block 72 contacts the pressing inclined surface of the locking block 82, the mating block 72 pushes the locking block 82 out of the slot 71, the locking block 82 moves outward along the limit seat 7, and at the same time the locking block 82 presses the locking spring 83.

[0097] After the meat-removing knife 54 clamps the scallop meat, the docking groove 73 on the side of the docking block 72 aligns with the locking block 82. Under the action of the locking spring 83, the locking block 82 is pushed into the slot 71. At the same time, the locking block 82 is engaged in the docking groove 73, so that the docking block 72 and the limiting seat 7 are relatively fixed, thereby completing the locking of the second toothed plate 67 and preventing the second toothed plate 67 from moving away from the limiting seat 7.

[0098] Since the second toothed plate 67 and the first toothed plate 66 are evenly engaged with the transmission gear 65, when the second toothed plate 67 cannot move back, neither the first toothed plate 66 nor the transmission gear 65 can move back. At this time, the synchronization mechanism is locked by the self-locking mechanism, so that the two meat-cutting knives 54 can firmly clamp the scallop meat.

[0099] When the self-locking mechanism moves close to the extrusion mechanism, the limiting roller 85 rolls along the outer side of the sector block 9, but the sector block 9 does not push the limiting roller 85 outward. When the limiting roller 85 rolls along the slope to the outer side of the extrusion block 91, the extrusion block 91 pushes the limiting roller 85 away from the sector block 9. The limiting roller 85 drives the smooth rod 81 to slide outward along the concave frame 8 through the roller frame 84. The smooth rod 81 drives the locking block 82 to slide outward from the limiting seat 7, so that the locking block 82 squeezes the locking spring 83. At the same time, the locking block 82 moves out of the docking groove 73, so that the docking block 72 is released from restriction.

[0100] Under the action of the return spring 63, the two transmission frames 62 drive the two meat-removing knives 54 to move away from each other, so that the two meat-removing knives 54 loosen their clamping on the scallop meat.

[0101] The entire machine has a rigorous process flow design, a compact layout, and adopts a modular design, realizing fully automated continuous production from raw materials to clean meat. It is also easy to disassemble and transport, and can be quickly transferred between different working environments.

[0102] A fully automated processing method for scallop processing, characterized in that:

[0103] Step 1: Wash and evenly coat the scallops;

[0104] The scallops are evenly placed into the cleaning box 11. The scallops fall downwards along both sides of the central roller brush 12. They are cleaned by the central roller brush 12 and the two roller brushes 12 on the same side, and finally fall downwards in two rows at the bottom of the box. The five sets of roller brushes 12 are arranged in a "three same and two opposite" rotation pattern to generate strong friction to clean the scallops. The roller brushes 12 automatically change direction once per minute. This design not only ensures that there are no dead corners in the cleaning, but also uses the guiding nature of the roller brushes 12 to evenly distribute the scallops into the V-shaped chute 2 below, effectively avoiding congestion in subsequent work stations.

[0105] Step 2: Sorting and steam pretreatment;

[0106] After cleaning, the scallops fall into the V-shaped chute 2. The two diversion channels 34 in the sorting mechanism move up and down alternately to separate the scallops remaining in the V-shaped chute 2 into individual pieces and transfer them to the distribution chute 21. During the process of separating and transferring the scallops individually, the high-temperature steam heating mechanism sprays high-temperature steam to heat the scallops and promote the opening and shaping of the scallops.

[0107] Step 3: Scallop adjustment and opening;

[0108] The scallops that have undergone initial opening slide down the distribution slide 21 onto the circulation conveyor mechanism. The circulation conveyor mechanism drives the scallops to pass under the adjusting wheel 47, the opening seat 48, and the meat extraction mechanism in sequence. When the scallops are under the adjusting wheel 47, the adjusting wheel 47 drives the scallop shell to rotate, keeping the scallops with their openings facing upwards. Then the scallops pass under the opening seat 48. The V-shaped wedge of the opening seat 48 passes through the opening of the scallop, thereby enlarging the opening of the scallop to facilitate subsequent meat extraction.

[0109] Step 4: Remove the meat;

[0110] When the open scallop moves to the bottom of the meat extraction mechanism, the meat extraction mechanism first separates the scallop meat from the scallop shell, and at the same time brings the scallop meat out of the scallop shell;

[0111] Step 5: Collection;

[0112] The scallop meat is fed into the guide slide 55 by the meat extraction mechanism, and then rolls down the guide slide 55 into the collection box 56 for collection.

[0113] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
