Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a conveying device, in particular to a dehydrating device for tuna waste. Background Art
[0002] The tuna processing process generates a significant amount of waste, including fish heads, bones, skin, viscera, and fish scraps, which account for approximately 40%-50% of the weight of the raw fish. Among these waste materials, heads and bones are rich natural sources of calcium, and some heads still contain fish flesh, which is a high-quality protein source. Fish skin and scales are rich in collagen. Fish viscera contain a lot of oil, and some deep-sea fish viscera even produce fish oil with certain functional properties and physiological activities. If these wastes are not effectively processed and utilized, they not only pollute the environment but also waste resources. Currently, domestic processing of fish waste is primarily used to make fish meal feed; fish heads and bones are processed into crispy fish bones and fish bone powder; fish viscera are used to extract fish oil and refine EPA and DHA products; and collagen is extracted from fish skin and scales. During transportation from upstream to downstream enterprises, the high water content of these waste materials, combined with their bulk and weight, hinders transportation efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the dehydration device of tuna waste described in the utility model comprises an outer barrel 1 fixedly arranged, an inner barrel 2 arranged in the middle of the outer barrel 1, an integral boss 11 is formed by axially extending from the middle of the inner bottom surface of the outer barrel 1, and a guide groove 12 is formed between the side wall surface of the boss 11 and the inner wall surface of the outer barrel 1. A drain port 13 is provided in the guide groove 12 and is connected to an external drain pipe 7. A turntable 3 is rotatably mounted on the boss 11, and the bottom of the turntable 3 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 4. The rotating shaft 4 passes through the boss 11 and then The lower end is connected to the motor 6, and the rotating shaft 4 and the boss 11 are rotated together through the bearing assembly 5. The inner barrel 2 is placed on the turntable 3 and can rotate with the turntable 3. A positioning rod 31 is fixed on the turntable 3. A limiting hole 242 is processed at the lower part of the base 24 to correspond to the positioning rod 31. The inner barrel 2 is detachable as a whole. The inner barrel 2 includes an upper cover 21, a barrel body 22, and a base 24 connected in sequence. The facing sides of the upper cover 21 and the base 24 are respectively provided with an annular positioning groove 212 and an annular positioning groove I 241 (see Figure 5 , Figure 6 ), the upper and lower ends of the barrel body 22 are respectively embedded in the annular positioning groove 212 and the annular positioning groove I 241, and the upper cover 21 and the base 24 are connected at the edge by a vertical rod 23 to clamp the barrel body 22 in position. A feeding port 211 is provided in the middle of the upper cover 21, and a vertical rod 23 is fixed at the edge of the base 24.
