Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine product cleaning, in particular to a clamp-type cleaning device for shellfish breeding cages. Background Art

[0002] Shellfish breeding cages are important production tools for breeding shellfish (such as oysters, scallops, etc.) in aquaculture. Cages are generally composed of cage frames and mesh bags. For example, the patent number is: ZL201620278166.4, and the patent name is: A utility model patent for a multifunctional elegant scallop breeding mesh cage. Cages provide a suitable growth environment for shellfish, protect them from natural enemies, and promote their reproduction and growth.

[0003] When the breeding cages are salvaged ashore, due to being immersed in seawater for a long time, a lot of mud, seaweed, shellfish attachments and other impurities often adhere to the surface of the shellfish. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the dirt and impurities on the surface of the shellfish to improve the quality of the product, and at the same time help keep the breeding cages clean and hygienic, ready for the next breeding.

[0004] At present, shellfish need to be transferred to the cleaning area for cleaning. The transfer of shellfish requires manual participation, including taking shellfish out of the breeding cages and moving them to the cleaning area. This not only increases labor costs, but also during the transfer process, shellfish may be damaged due to collision, squeezing or improper operation, resulting in shell rupture, soft tissue damage, etc., which directly affects the quality and market value of shellfish. In addition, the entire transfer and cleaning process takes a long time, which reduces work efficiency and affects the shelf life and market supply of shellfish. Summary of the invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a shellfish breeding cage clamp-type cleaning device, which is provided with a first cleaning half ring and a second cleaning half ring, and the inner sides of the first cleaning half ring and the second cleaning half ring are provided with cleaning nozzles, and the first cleaning half ring and the second cleaning half ring are respectively connected to a walking unit, and the walking unit includes a slide rail, a slider, and a drive, and the first cleaning half ring and the second cleaning half ring are installed on the slider.

[0006] In one embodiment, the cleaning nozzles are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the first cleaning half ring and the second cleaning half ring, and a partition is arranged between each row of the cleaning nozzles, and the partition covers and exceeds the length of the cleaning nozzles.

[0007] In one embodiment, the edge of the partition is rounded.

[0008] In one embodiment, a water inlet channel is provided in the first cleaning half ring and the second cleaning half ring, and a water inlet is provided on the first cleaning half ring and the second cleaning half ring. The water inlet channel connects the water inlet and the cleaning nozzle, and the water inlet is connected to the water inlet pipe.

[0009] In one embodiment, the slide rail is fixedly mounted on the edge of the ship, and the driver can drive the slider to reciprocate along the slide rail.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first cleaning half ring and the second cleaning half ring are arranged horizontally.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] The present application discloses a clamp-type cleaning device for shellfish breeding cages, which is provided with a first cleaning semi-ring and a second cleaning semi-ring, the inner sides of which are both provided with cleaning nozzles, and the first cleaning semi-ring and the second cleaning semi-ring are respectively connected to a traveling unit, which includes a slide rail, a slider, and a driver. The slide rail is fixedly mounted on the edge of the ship, and the driver can drive the slider to move back and forth along the slide rail, thereby driving the first cleaning semi-ring and the second cleaning semi-ring to move along the slide rail. When cleaning is required, the first cleaning semi-ring and the second cleaning semi-ring are docked together to form a complete cleaning circular ring. When the breeding cage passes through the circular ring, the cleaning nozzles on the inner sides of the first cleaning semi-ring and the second cleaning semi-ring begin to spray water to clean the oysters and scallops on the surface and inside of the breeding cage. Since the cleaning circular ring is placed horizontally, the breeding cage moves upward under the action of the crane, achieving the effect of cleaning while moving. By setting up a walking unit and a cleaning half ring, the breeding cages pass through the cleaning ring to achieve automatic cleaning, which reduces manual participation and labor costs. The cleaning operation is carried out continuously during the movement of the breeding cages, and no extra time is required to transfer and clean the shellfish, thereby shortening the overall cleaning time and improving work efficiency. It reduces collisions and squeezing that may occur during manual handling, thereby reducing the risk of shellfish being damaged by external forces, avoiding damage to shellfish shells and soft tissues, and ensuring product quality.

[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a shellfish breeding cage clamp-type cleaning device is provided with a first cleaning half ring 1 and a second cleaning half ring 2, the inner sides of the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 are provided with cleaning nozzles 3, the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 are respectively connected to a walking unit 4, the walking unit 4 includes a slide rail 41, a slider 42, and a driver 43, the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 are installed on the slider 42.

[0028] Specifically, the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 are arranged horizontally, the slide rail 41 is fixedly installed on the edge of the ship 5, and the driver 43 can drive the slider 41 to move back and forth along the slide rail 42. Figure 1 The first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 are moved to the two sides by the walking unit 4. The cleaning nozzle 3 is pre-set with a suitable spray angle and flow rate to meet different cleaning requirements. When cleaning is required, the driver 42 drives the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 to approach each other along the slide rail 41 until the two are docked together. Figure 2As shown, a complete cleaning ring is formed. The inner diameter of the cleaning ring is larger than the outer diameter of the breeding cage 8 to ensure that the breeding cage 8 can pass through smoothly. At this time, the crane on the ship lifts the breeding cage 8 and slowly passes it through the cleaning ring. When the breeding cage 8 passes through the ring, the cleaning nozzles 3 on the inner side of the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 begin to spray water to clean the oysters and scallops on the surface and inside of the breeding cage 8. Since the cleaning ring is placed horizontally, the breeding cage 8 moves upward under the action of the crane, achieving the effect of cleaning while moving. After the breeding cage 8 completely passes through the cleaning ring, the crane continues to lift it and move it to the next processing area, and the cleaning device returns to the initial position through the walking unit, ready for the next cleaning operation. By setting up the walking unit 3 and the cleaning half ring, the breeding cage 8 passes through the cleaning ring to achieve automatic cleaning, which reduces manual participation and labor costs. The cleaning operation is carried out continuously during the movement of the breeding cage 8, and no extra time is required to transfer and clean the shellfish, thereby shortening the overall cleaning time, improving work efficiency, and reducing collisions and squeezing that may occur during manual handling, thereby reducing the risk of shellfish being damaged by external forces, avoiding damage to shellfish shells and soft tissues, and ensuring product quality.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning nozzles 3 are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2 , and a partition 6 is arranged between each row of the cleaning nozzles 3 , and the partition 6 covers and exceeds the length of the cleaning nozzles 3 .

[0030] Specifically, the cleaning nozzles 3 are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2, ensuring that the cleaning water can be sprayed onto the breeding cage 8 in an all-round and uniform manner. By setting up multiple rows of cleaning nozzles 3, the mud, seaweed and other attachments on the shellfish can be effectively removed, and the partitions 6 arranged between each adjacent row of cleaning nozzles 3 play a protective role. That is, when the breeding cage 8 is slowly lifted and passes through the cleaning ring, since the partitions 6 cover and exceed the length of the cleaning nozzles 3, it can effectively prevent the breeding cage 8 from shaking during the lifting process and causing the net bag to hang on the cleaning nozzles 3. Even if the breeding cage 8 is slightly offset or shaken during the movement, the partitions 6 can provide sufficient blocking and guiding effects, so that the net bag slides smoothly without direct contact with the cleaning nozzles 3, thereby avoiding damage to the breeding cage 8. The partitions 6 are arranged to ensure the continuity and stability of the cleaning operation and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the edge of the partition 6 is rounded.

[0032] Specifically, when the mesh bag of the breeding cage 8 contacts the partition 6, the rounded corners can guide it to pass more smoothly, reducing the friction caused by direct collision. The rounded corner design reduces the risk of the partition 6 cutting or tearing the mesh bag of the breeding cage 8. When the breeding cage 8 passes through the cleaning ring, even if there is a slight shake or deviation, the rounded corner design can ensure that the mesh bag slides safely without being damaged by sharp corners.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, a water inlet channel is provided in the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2, and a water inlet 7 is provided on the first cleaning half ring 1 and the second cleaning half ring 2. The water inlet channel connects the water inlet 7 and the cleaning nozzle 3, and the water inlet 7 is connected to the water inlet pipe.

[0034] Specifically, the first cleaning semi-ring 1 and the second cleaning semi-ring 2 are both provided with water inlet channels (not shown in the figure), and the water inlet channels guide the water flow to each cleaning nozzle 3. The first cleaning semi-ring 1 and the second cleaning semi-ring 2 are both provided with water inlets 7, and the water inlets 7 are connected to the external water inlet pipe, thereby realizing the supply of water. When the external water source enters the water inlet 7 through the water inlet pipe, the water will flow along the water inlet channel, and finally reach and flow through each cleaning nozzle 3. The cleaning nozzle 3 sprays the water flow evenly onto the breeding cage 8 according to the preset spray angle and flow rate to clean the shellfish.

[0035] The present application discloses a shellfish breeding cage clamp-type cleaning device, which is provided with a first cleaning semi-ring 1 and a second cleaning semi-ring 2, and the first cleaning semi-ring 1 and the second cleaning semi-ring 2 are both provided with cleaning nozzles 3 inside, and the first cleaning semi-ring 1 and the second cleaning semi-ring 2 are respectively connected to a walking unit 4, and the walking unit 4 includes a slide rail 41, a slider 42, and a driver 43. The slide rail 41 is fixedly installed on the edge of the ship 5, and the driver 43 can drive the slider 41 to move back and forth along the slide rail 42, thereby driving the first cleaning semi-ring 1 and the second cleaning semi-ring 2 to move along the slide rail 41. When cleaning is required, the first cleaning semi-ring 1 and the second cleaning semi-ring 2 are docked together to form a complete cleaning circular ring. When the breeding cage 8 passes through the circular ring, the cleaning nozzles 3 inside the first cleaning semi-ring 1 and the second cleaning semi-ring 2 start to spray water to clean the oysters and scallops on the surface and inside of the breeding cage 8. Since the cleaning circular ring is placed horizontally, the breeding cage 8 moves upward under the action of the crane, achieving the effect of cleaning while moving. By setting up the walking unit 3 and the cleaning half ring, the breeding cage 8 passes through the cleaning ring to achieve automatic cleaning, which reduces manual participation and labor costs. The cleaning operation is carried out continuously during the movement of the breeding cage 8, and no extra time is required to transfer and clean the shellfish, thereby shortening the overall cleaning time, improving work efficiency, and reducing collisions and squeezing that may occur during manual handling, thereby reducing the risk of shellfish being damaged by external forces, avoiding damage to shellfish shells and soft tissues, and ensuring product quality.
