[0033] The utility model provides a flushing device, the beneficial effects of which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0034] Efficient flushing: The rotary drive mechanism 2 drives the drum 2 to rotate, and the water spray mechanism 4 is combined to spray water on the material, thereby achieving efficient flushing of materials such as lobsters. The spiral blade 23 in the drum 2 allows the material to roll and transport in the drum, increasing the contact area between the material and the water spray, and improving the flushing cleanliness.

[0035] Simple structure and convenient operation: The device adopts modular design, the connection between each component is stable and reliable, the structure is relatively simple, and it is easy to manufacture and maintain. At the same time, the operation is simple, and the automatic flushing process can be realized by simply starting the rotary drive mechanism 2 and the water spray mechanism 4.

[0036] Less damage, protect material quality: The spiral blade 23 tumbles and transports the material, which causes less damage to the material than the traditional mechanical brushing method, helping to protect the integrity and quality of the material. At the same time, the water spraying method avoids the use of chemical agents, which is more environmentally friendly and safe.

[0037] Strong adaptability and wide application: The flushing device can be used for flushing materials of different specifications and types, such as lobsters, fish and other seafood products. It can also be customized according to needs to meet the needs of different industries and production lines.

[0038] In summary, the flushing device provided by the utility model has the beneficial effects of efficient flushing, simple structure, convenient operation, little damage, strong adaptability, etc., and provides a novel and practical solution for flushing materials such as lobsters.

[0039] In this embodiment, the flushing device further comprises a roller group 5 rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and respectively supported on the bottom of the fixing ring 21 . The roller group 5 comprises two rollers respectively supported on both sides of the bottom of the fixing ring 21 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism 3 includes a transmission shaft 31, a bearing seat 32, a gear 33 and a rotary motor 34. The two ends of the transmission shaft 31 are rotatably mounted on the frame 1 through the bearing seat 32. Two gears 33 are fixed on the transmission shaft 31, and the gears 33 are meshed in the gap between two adjacent connecting rods 22. The rotary motor 34 is installed on the frame 1, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 34 is connected to the transmission shaft 31 to drive it to rotate. The rotary drive mechanism 3 uses components such as the transmission shaft 31, the bearing seat 32, the gear 33 and the rotary motor 34 to ensure the efficient transmission of the driving force. The gap between any two adjacent connecting rods 22 is conducive to the outflow of water and can realize the transmission connection with the gear 33. There is no need to set up an additional transmission structure, which simplifies the structure and reduces the cost. The transmission shaft is driven to rotate by the rotary motor, and then the meshing transmission between the gear and the connecting rod is driven to realize the smooth rotation of the drum 2. This design not only improves the flushing efficiency, but also ensures the stability of the flushing process.

[0041] In this embodiment, the feed end of the drum 2 has a baffle 24, a feed port 20 is provided on the baffle 24, and a feed hopper 25 is provided at the feed port 20 of the baffle 24. By arranging the baffle 24 at the feed end of the drum 2 and opening the feed port 20 on the baffle, it can be ensured that the material is accurately fed into the drum 2 through the feed hopper, effectively reducing the scattering and waste of the material during the feeding process. This not only improves the accuracy of feeding, but also reduces material loss, thereby improving the overall production efficiency. The design of the feed hopper 25 helps to evenly distribute the material in the drum 2, so that the material can more comprehensively contact the water flow sprayed by the water spray mechanism 4 when the drum rotates. This uniform material distribution helps to improve the flushing effect and ensure that every part of the material surface can be fully flushed. The setting of the baffle 24 also plays a role in safety protection, effectively preventing the operator's hands or other parts from accidentally entering the drum 2 during the feeding process, thereby reducing the operating risk and enhancing the safety of the device.

[0042] In this embodiment, the discharge end of the drum 2 is provided with a lower hopper 26 to guide the washed material to fall. The existence of the lower hopper 26 can effectively guide the washed material to fall from the drum, avoiding the possible blockage or scattering of the material during the discharge process. This greatly improves the discharge efficiency, allowing the washed material to leave the drum quickly and orderly, providing convenience for subsequent processing or packaging.

[0043] In this embodiment, the water spray mechanism 4 also includes a water pump 43 installed on the frame 1, and the water outlet of the water pump 43 is connected to the water spray pipe 41, and the water spray pipe 41 is mounted on the frame 1. As the power source of the water spray mechanism 4, the water pump 43 can continuously and stably provide the required water flow to the water spray pipe 41. This continuous and stable water supply ensures that the materials can be fully rinsed during the flushing process, thereby improving the flushing effect and efficiency. The water pump can adjust the pressure and flow rate of the water outlet according to actual needs, thereby realizing precise control of the water spray intensity and flushing force of the water spray mechanism. This adjustment function enables the flushing device to adapt to the flushing needs of materials of different types and specifications, and improves the flexibility and applicability of the device. Through the water pump, the flushing device can be easily connected to water sources from different sources, such as tap water, well water, etc., without the need for special treatment or modification of the water source. This greatly simplifies the steps of water source access and enhances the applicability and convenience of the device.

[0044] See also Figure 5 In this embodiment, the flushing device also includes a water shield 6, which is arranged on the frame 1 to cover the drum 2 therein. A water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the water shield 6 to discharge waste water. The water shield 6 completely covers the drum 2 inside, forming a closed working environment. During the flushing process, the water flow and waste water are confined inside the water shield, which effectively prevents water from splashing out of the device, thereby keeping the surrounding environment clean and dry. A water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the water shield 6, which can conveniently collect and discharge the waste water generated during the flushing process. Due to the sealing effect of the water shield 6, the water flow during the flushing process can act more concentratedly on the material, reducing the loss and waste of water flow. At the same time, the closed flushing environment also helps to improve the flushing efficiency and ensure that the material is more fully flushed.
