Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a conveying device, and more particularly to a conveying and processing device for skipjack tuna. Background Technology
[0002] Skipjack tuna belongs to the tuna family and is a highly nutritious fish. It is 20-30 cm long, oval-shaped, with a large head, yellow mouth, and a conical head that resembles a bullet. It is one of the most exported fish in China.
[0003] The processing of skipjack tuna involves many steps, the first of which is thawing. The current thawing process is generally carried out in a special thawing box, and then the thawed skipjack tuna is transported to the conveyor belt by a transfer mechanism for the next process. The transfer and transportation involves a lot of manual operation, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a conveying and processing device for skipjack tuna.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a conveying and processing device for skipjack tuna, comprising:
[0006] A hopper is located above a water storage tank. The hopper has an opening at the top and a bottom plate that slopes downwards from left to right. A drainage hole is machined on the bottom plate. A discharge port is formed on the right side of the hopper. A baffle is slidably positioned at the discharge port via guide blocks. The guide blocks are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the discharge port. Guide grooves are machined along the height direction on the opposite sides of the guide blocks. The two sides of the baffle are fitted into the guide grooves to form a sliding fit.
[0007] A water pumping mechanism is provided between the hopper and the water storage tank. The water pumping mechanism pumps water from the water storage tank into the hopper. A water inlet is provided on the upper part of the left side wall of the hopper.
[0008] A conveyor chain plate is located below the right side of the discharge port, and operating tables are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the conveyor chain plate.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a positioning block is fixedly provided on the upper part of the baffle, and the front and rear ends of the positioning block extend beyond the baffle and are connected to the cylinder rod of the cylinder. The cylinder is installed on the outer wall of the hopper.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the width of the discharge port is smaller than the front and rear width of the hopper, and the discharge port is formed by two obliquely arranged guide plates, which are formed by bending the front and rear side walls of the hopper towards each other.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower part of the hopper is fixed to the bracket, and the bracket is placed inside the water storage tank.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the water pumping mechanism includes a water pump, the lower part of which is connected to the water filter in the water storage tank through an inlet pipe, and the upper part of which is connected to the inlet through an outlet pipe.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the operating table is provided with waste troughs at intervals along the horizontal direction.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] In this device, frozen skipjack tuna is directly poured into the hopper. The water pumping mechanism circulates water from the water storage tank to the hopper to continuously rinse and thaw the skipjack tuna. The water flow then allows the skipjack tuna to slide onto the conveyor chain plate for further processing. The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, requires no additional thawing equipment, and improves work efficiency. The baffle height is adjustable, making it easy to control the discharge speed of the skipjack tuna. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figure 1-2As shown, the skipjack tuna conveying and processing device of this utility model includes a hopper 1, which is located above a water storage tank 4. The lower part of the hopper 1 is fixed to a support 2, which is placed inside the water storage tank 4. The upper part of the hopper 1 is open, and the bottom plate 12 of the hopper 1 slopes downward from left to right. A drainage hole 121 is machined on the bottom plate 12. A discharge port 14 is formed on the right side of the hopper 1. The width of the discharge port 14 is smaller than the front-to-back width of the hopper 1. The discharge port 14 is formed by two obliquely arranged guide plates 13. The guide plate 13 is formed by bending the front and rear side walls of the hopper 1 towards each other. The baffle 6 is slidably disposed at the discharge port 14 via guide blocks 5. The guide blocks 5 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the discharge port 14. Guide grooves 51 are machined along the height direction on the opposing sides of the guide blocks 5. The two sides of the baffle 6 are fitted into the guide grooves 51 to form a sliding fit. A positioning block 61 is fixedly disposed on the upper part of the baffle 6. The front and rear ends of the positioning block 61 extend beyond the baffle 6 and are connected to the cylinder rod of the cylinder 7. The cylinder 7 is installed on the outer wall of the hopper 1 (see...). Figure 3 , Figure 4 );
[0022] The pumping mechanism 3 is located between the hopper 1 and the water storage tank 4. The pumping mechanism 3 pumps water from the water storage tank 4 into the hopper 1. The upper part of the left side wall of the hopper 1 is provided with a water inlet 11. The pumping mechanism 3 includes a water pump 32. The lower part of the water pump 32 is connected to the water filter 34 in the water storage tank 4 through a water inlet pipe 33. The upper part of the water pump 32 is connected to the water inlet 11 through a water outlet pipe 31.
[0023] The conveyor chain plate 8 is located below the right side of the discharge port 14. The front and rear sides of the conveyor chain plate 8 are symmetrically provided with operating tables 9. Waste troughs 91 are spaced along the horizontal direction on the operating tables 9.
[0024] In this device, frozen skipjack tuna is directly poured into the hopper. The water pumping mechanism circulates water from the water storage tank to the hopper to continuously rinse and thaw the skipjack tuna. The water flow then allows the skipjack tuna to slide onto the conveyor chain plate for further processing. The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, requires no additional thawing equipment, and improves work efficiency. The baffle height is adjustable, making it easy to control the discharge speed of the skipjack tuna.
[0025] In practical use, for ease of understanding of this utility model, it will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings;
[0026] During operation, the baffle first seals the outlet of the hopper, and the frozen skipjack tuna is poured directly into the hopper. The water pumping mechanism continuously pumps water from the water storage tank into the hopper to rinse and thaw the frozen skipjack tuna. The rinsed water drips back into the water storage tank through the drain holes on the bottom plate. When the skipjack tuna is thawed, the cylinder operates and drives the positioning block and the baffle to move up to a certain height. The skipjack tuna slides onto the conveyor chain plate under the flushing water flow for the next processing step.
[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
