Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquatic product processing, in particular to a drum-type automatic scaler which is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] Fish are an important part of aquatic product farming and processing. After harvesting, fish are sold either live or processed. Fish processing includes descaling, deboning, evisceration, head removal, back opening, cutting, freezing, and pickling. Scaling is a relatively early step in fish processing, with most other processing steps occurring after descaling. Traditional descaling is mostly done manually or with simple equipment, which is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive. With the development of industrial automation, some automatic scale-removing equipment has emerged. By placing fish into the scale-removing equipment, the scales can be automatically removed. The drum scaler is one such automated device. After the fish is placed into a rotating drum, it rubs against the inner wall of the drum, achieving automatic scale removal. However, during the descaling process, some scales will adhere to the inner wall of the drum, which not only affects the subsequent descaling of the fish, but also clogs the drum and produces odor if not cleaned in time. Currently, the drum is mostly cleaned manually by flushing, but manual cleaning is slow and irregular, and cannot remove the scales in the drum in real time. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model proposes a drum-type automatic scaler that is easy to clean, and the water spraying amount can be adjusted based on the different drum rotation speeds to facilitate the reasonable cleaning of fish scales.

The battery pack 10, the normally open button 13 and the solenoid valve 8 form a circuit.

[0022] After the fish to be processed are fed through the feed hopper 2, the fish will enter the drum 3. The rotary drive mechanism can drive the drum 3 to rotate, and a number of slots 4 are provided on the outer wall of the drum 3. When the drum 3 rotates, the slots 4 can contact the fish body to remove the fish scales. The drum 3 is tilted in the fixed tank box 1, and the fish can slide down along the drum 3 and finally leave the drum 3 to collect the scaled fish.

[0023] During the process of descaling fish, most scales can fall from the slot 4 into the fixed tank box 1 for collection, while some scales will adhere to the inner wall of the drum 3. Therefore, a nozzle 6 is set on the bottom surface of the fixed tank box 1. The external water source can be transported to the telescopic tube 9 under the action of the water pump, and transported to the nozzle 6 through the fixed tube 7.

[0030] When descaling fish, the rotating motor 17 on the frame 16 is turned on. The rotating motor 17 can drive the first sprocket 18 to rotate. The first sprocket 18 drives the second sprocket 19 to rotate through the chain 20, thereby realizing the rotation of the drum 3 to rotate and descale the fish.

[0031] Preferably, the rotary drive mechanism further includes an inverted U-shaped seat 21 and an auxiliary wheel 22 . The inverted U-shaped seat 21 is arranged on one side of the frame 16 , and the auxiliary wheel 22 is arranged in the inverted U-shaped seat 21 , with its bottom surface in contact with the top surface of the drum 3 .
