[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides an automatic cleaning device for shellfish, including a cleaning tank 1, one end of the top of the cleaning tank 1 is fixedly connected with a pre-washing tank 2, the top of the pre-washing tank 2 is fixedly connected with a feeding hopper 3, one side of the outer wall of the pre-washing tank 2 is fixedly connected with a gear box 4, a central gear 5 and a driven gear 6 are connected by bearings inside the gear box 4, a first motor 7 corresponding to the central gear 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gear box 4, and a rotary brush 8 fixedly connected with the driven gear 6 is arranged inside the pre-washing tank 2.

[0028] Wherein, guide plates 9 corresponding to the rotary brush 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the pre-washing tank 2, which is convenient for guiding the shellfish between two rotary brushes 8 at the same height for cleaning.

[0029] In this embodiment, three driven gears 6 are provided, and the three driven gears 6 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential side of the central gear 5. The three driven gears 6 are all meshed with the central gear 5. By driving the three driven gears 6 to rotate through the central gear 5, a plurality of rotary brushes 8 are simultaneously driven to rotate, which is convenient for cleaning the outer walls of the falling shellfish.

[0030] A sieve plate 10 slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is arranged at the bottom discharge port of the pre-washing tank 2, and a vibration motor 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sieve plate 10.

[0031] Buffers corresponding to the vibration motor 11 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the sieve plate 10. The buffer includes fixed blocks 12 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. A spring 13 is fixedly connected between the fixed blocks 12 and the bottom of the sieve plate 10. By driving the sieve plate 10 to vibrate through the vibration motor 11, it is convenient to accelerate the separation between the shellfish after cleaning and the sediment and attachments washed off.

[0032] Inside the cleaning tank 1, a conveyor belt 14 is provided. The bottom end of the sieve plate 10 is located on top of the conveyor belt 14. The belt body of the conveyor belt 14 is a wire mesh belt. During the process of conveying shellfish, sediment and attachments can be discharged in real time through the mesh holes in the wire mesh belt, while the shellfish continue to be conveyed along with the conveyor belt 14.

[0033] At the bottom of the end of the conveyor belt 14, a cleaning brush 18 is provided. On one side of the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 close to the pump body 151, a second motor 19 corresponding to the cleaning brush 18 is fixedly connected. The second motor 19 drives the cleaning brush 18 to rotate, thereby facilitating the cleaning of impurities attached to the mesh holes on the conveyor belt 14.

[0034] Inside the cleaning tank 1, a filter screen platform 20 is provided near the bottom. A cleaning door 21 corresponding to the filter screen platform 20 is opened on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. At the center of the top of the cleaning tank 1, a cleaning mechanism 15 is fixedly connected.

[0035] The cleaning mechanism 15 includes a pump body 151 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. The water intake end of the pump body 151 is fixedly connected with a three-way pipe 152. The water drainage end of the pump body 151 is fixedly connected with a water pipe 16. The end of the water pipe 16 is fixedly connected with a spray pipe 161. In the middle of the water pipe 16, a cleaning pipe 162 is fixedly connected. A support 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning tank 1. The bottom of the cleaning pipe 162 is fixedly connected with a swivel joint 163. The swivel joint 163 penetrates through the support 17 and is threadedly connected with a flat nozzle high-pressure spray head 164.

[0036] One end of the three-way pipe 152 penetrates through the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to its interior. The other end of the three-way pipe 152 is connected to an external water source. Each pipe body in the three-way pipe 152 is provided with an electromagnetic valve. One end of the three-way pipe 152 is located at the bottom of the filter screen platform 20. During the cleaning process, the filtered water can be recycled, saving water resources.

[0037] In this embodiment, observation windows 22 are embedded and fixedly connected on both sides of one end of the cleaning tank 1 close to the cleaning brush 18, facilitating the staff to directly observe the discharging situation of shellfish at the end of the cleaning tank 1.

[0038] During use, first connect the first motor 7, the conveyor belt 14, the second motor 19, and the vibration motor 11 to an external power source and start them.

[0039] Pour the shellfish to be cleaned from the feeding hopper 3 into the pre-washing tank 2. The first motor 7 drives the central gear 5 to rotate, drives the driven gear 6 to rotate, and then drives a plurality of rotating brushes 8 to rotate, initially cleaning the falling shellfish and removing most of the impurities.

[0040] Among them, the topmost rotary brush 8 is located at the bottom end of the feeding hopper 3 and has a limited distance from both sides of the inner wall of the pre-washing tank 2. This can limit the feeding speed of the shellfish to a certain extent and prevent the shellfish from being fed too quickly, which may affect the cleaning effect of the rotary brush 8. At the same time, the pump body 151 is connected to an external water source, and clear water is continuously sprayed into the pre-washing tank 2 through the spray pipe 161 to facilitate the acceleration of the separation of the shellfish from the sediment and attachments.

[0041] Finally, the shellfish and the removed impurities together fall to the top of the sieve plate 10. Starting the vibration motor 11 can drive the sieve plate 10 to vibrate, which is convenient for the separation of the sediment and attachments from the shellfish. Then, they fall through the sieve holes on the sieve plate 10 to the top of the filter screen platform 20 in the cleaning tank 1, and the shellfish slide down along the inclined surface of the sieve plate 10 to the conveyor belt 14.

[0042] The shellfish are conveyed by the conveyor belt 14. After the pump body 151 conveys the clear water to the cleaning pipe 162, high-pressure water flow is sprayed through the flat nozzle high-pressure spray head 164 to thoroughly remove the dirt in the gaps of the shellfish. The staff can set a shellfish collection basket at the end of the conveyor belt 14 and on the top of the filter screen platform 20 to collect the shellfish.

[0043] During the conveying process, the impurities fall to the top of the filter screen platform 20, and the filtered water can be re-pumped into the pump body 151 through the three-way pipe 152 and sprayed out in a cycle, which is convenient for saving water resources.

[0044] In this device, the coordinated work among the first motor 7, the conveyor belt 14, the second motor 19, the vibration motor 11 and the pump body 151 can all be realized through external PLC programming, which is prior art and will not be elaborated here one by one. During specific operation, a flow valve corresponding to the water outlet end of the pump body 151 can also be installed. By adjusting the start-stop and water volume of the pump body 151, parameters such as the cleaning time, pressure and water flow can be adjusted to meet the cleaning requirements of different types and sizes of shellfish.

[0045] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various improvements can be made to it and its components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the disclosed embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other in any way. The reason for not exhaustively describing the situations of these combinations in this specification is only to save space and resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
