[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4The utility model provides a technical solution: a silkworm cocoon cleaning machine for preparing silk colloid protein, comprising a shell 1, a cleaning tank 2 and a water tank 3. The cleaning tank 2 is arranged at the top center of the shell 1. The cleaning tank 2 is a hollow rectangular frame. Support plates 20 are arranged at the four corners of the lower side of the inner side of the cleaning tank 2. The support plate 20 is a metal structure, which is responsible for supporting a No. 1 filter basket 21 placed thereon and a No. 2 filter basket 22 placed on the No. 1 filter basket 21. The No. 2 filter basket 22 has relatively large holes. When cleaning, the silkworm cocoons are placed in the basket and put into the cleaning tank 2 to position the silkworm cocoons, which is convenient for the staff to take out. The No. 1 filter basket 21 is placed below the No. 2 filter basket 22, and the surface opening is small, so that large particles of impurities washed from the silkworm cocoons during cleaning can be preliminarily screened. Several groups of transducers 8 are arranged on both sides of the cleaning tank 2, and an ultrasonic generator 7 is arranged on the rear side of the cleaning tank 2. The two can cooperate to generate ultrasonic waves. The center of the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 is connected to a water filter device 4 through a hose, and the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 can be designed to be inclined during the actual implementation process, so that the water flow actively flows into the hose at the center, and the water body is filtered through the water filter device 4.

[0021] After the cleaning tank 2 is placed into the shell 1, the edge of the top overlaps with the top groove of the shell 1, and an annular rubber block 9 made of rubber material is arranged on the interface between the two. The rubber block 9 enables the cleaning tank 2 to achieve flexible contact with the shell 1 and plays a certain sealing role. The rubber block 9 plays a role in reducing the resonance between the shell 1 and the cleaning tank 2. Springs 10 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and the cleaning tank 2 is connected to the inside of the shell 1 through the springs 10. The springs 10 can reduce the machine vibration of the cleaning tank 2 when it is working. Support frames 5 are arranged at the four corners of the lower side of the shell 1. The support frame 5 can be fixed in direction by screws on the top to ensure the stability of the shell 1.

[0022] A water filtering device 4 is connected to the lower center of the inner part of the cleaning tank 2 through a hose. The water filtering device 4 includes a one-way valve 11, a water storage layer 12, a screen layer 13 and an activated carbon layer 14. The one-way valve 11 connected to the cleaning tank 2 prevents the water entering from the cleaning tank 2 from flowing back. The water storage layer 12 connected below the one-way valve 11 can temporarily stop the water transported in the cleaning tank 2 to prevent the filtering device from being blocked. The screen layer 13 is connected below the water storage layer 12. The screen layer 13 is composed of multiple layers of screens with different mesh sizes, which can filter suspended solid particles in the water. An activated carbon layer 14 is connected below the screen layer 13. The activated carbon layer 14 can remove organic matter, chlorine, odor, color, etc. in the water. A water tank 3 is connected below the activated carbon layer 14, and the filtered water enters the water tank 3.

[0023] A heating pipe 6 is provided on the lower side of the water tank 3. The heating pipe 6 is arranged longitudinally in the water tank 3 to perform high-temperature disinfection on the water therein. A water outlet 15 is provided on one side of the water tank 3. The water outlet 15 is connected to a water pump 16 through a hose. The position where the water pump 16 is connected to the water tank 3 is the water inlet. The water outlet of the water pump 16 is connected to a cooling plate 17. The cooling plate 17 is made of brass and can cool the water. The other side of the cooling plate 17 is connected to the bottom water inlet 18 of the cleaning tank 2 to transport the filtered and disinfected water back to the cleaning tank 2 for reuse.

[0024] Working principle: When a silkworm cocoon cleaning machine is prepared using a silk sericin protein, the cocoons are placed in the No. 2 filter basket 22, the No. 1 filter basket 21 is placed on the support plate 20 in the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 2, and the No. 2 filter basket 22 is placed on the No. 1 filter basket 21. When the machine switch is turned on, the ultrasonic generator 7 on the side of the cleaning tank 2 will convert the electrical energy into high-frequency electrical energy and transmit it to the multiple sets of transducers 8 arranged on the other two sides of the cleaning tank. The transducers 8 then generate mechanical vibrations, causing the water in the cleaning tank 2 to have a cavitation effect, generating tiny bubbles. The bubble bursts to generate impact force to clean the cocoons, thereby preventing damage to the surface of the cocoons during the cleaning process. After cleaning, the contaminated water passes through the No. 1 filter basket 21 located below the No. 2 filter basket 22 to initially filter larger impurities, and then enters the water filter device 4 through the hose below the center of the cleaning tank 2. The water filter device 4 is provided with a one-way valve 11, a water storage layer 12, a screen layer 13 and The activated carbon layer 14, the one-way valve 11 and the water storage layer 12 prevent the water flowing into the water filter device 4 from backflowing and making the filtration incomplete. The screen layer 13 and the activated carbon layer 14 can filter the suspended solid particles and organic matter, chlorine, odor and color in the water. The filtered water will flow into the water tank 3 below and be sterilized at high temperature through the heating pipe 6 in the water tank 3. The clean water enters the water pump 16 through the water outlet 15 on one side of the water tank 3, and is pumped into the cooling plate 17 by the water pump 16 to be cooled into warm water. Then, it enters the cleaning tank 2 through the cleaning tank water inlet 18 connected to the lower side of the cleaning tank 2. The water after filtration and sterilization can continue to clean the next batch of cocoons. The recycling of water is beneficial to saving water resources. After the work is completed, a drain port 19 is set on the other side of the water tank 3, and the water in the water tank 3 can be discharged from the drain port 19 to prevent the water from corroding the machine parts inside when the machine is not in use, thereby extending the service life of the machine.
