Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wire mesh cage processing equipment, specifically an improved high-efficiency wire mesh cage cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture, net cages are a common tool, primarily used for cultivating shellfish and other aquatic organisms. However, during the cultivation process, various parasitic and competing organisms, such as shellfish and algae, as well as sand, can accumulate on the net cages, clogging the mesh. These substances not only reduce the dissolved oxygen content inside the cages but also decrease the opportunity for microorganisms to enter, thus affecting the feeding and growth of aquatic organisms within the cages. Therefore, regular cleaning of the net cages is a crucial step in ensuring aquaculture efficiency and quality.

[0003] Currently, existing wire mesh cage cleaning equipment mainly includes methods such as manually unfolding and drying the cages before rinsing them with water guns to remove silt and sand, and using rubber rollers to compact the cages before pounding them onto a conveyor belt, where water is used to rinse them as the conveyor belt moves. However, these methods have some drawbacks: First, manual cleaning is labor-intensive and inefficient; second, while water gun rinsing can remove some impurities, it is difficult to completely remove stubborn dirt; furthermore, when pounding the cages, they easily become entangled in the hammers, requiring the machine to be stopped for removal. Additionally, the cages are difficult to remove from the hooks, also requiring the machine to be stopped, which affects the work progress. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an improved high-efficiency wire mesh cage cleaning machine, which solves the problems of the hammers easily getting tangled and not easily detaching from the hooks in existing wire mesh cage cleaning equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an improved high-efficiency wire mesh cage cleaning machine, including a roller pressing mechanism for pressing the wire mesh cage, wherein a striking roller is provided in the discharge direction of the roller pressing mechanism, and a plurality of second rubber plates are provided around the striking roller in the circumferential direction and along the axial direction.

An arc-shaped water leakage net is provided on the inner side of the post-processing platform. A water pipe is provided on the post-processing platform, and a water spray nozzle is provided on the water pipe facing the arc-shaped water leakage net.

[0007] The end of the post-processing station is provided with an outflow chute; a rolling chain assembly is provided on the post-processing station along the outflow direction of the arc-shaped water leakage net, the rolling chain assembly includes a chain, and a hook is provided on the chain; wherein, when the chain rotates, the hook hooks up the net cage inside the arc-shaped water leakage net and transports it to the outflow chute.

[0008] Preferably, the second rubber plate has multiple openings and grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the opening groove extends towards the outer edge of the second rubber sheet to form a strip-shaped groove, and the strip-shaped groove divides the second rubber sheet into several strips.

[0010] Preferably, the opening spacing of the opening groove is 0.1 cm to 1 cm.

[0011] Preferably, the opening spacing of the opening groove is 1CM-6CM.

[0012] Preferably, the rolling chain assembly further includes a front axle and a rear axle disposed on the post-processing table, wherein the front axle and the rear axle are provided with main chain gears, and the chain is disposed on the two main chain gears.

[0013] Preferably, a rear auxiliary roller driven by a transmission chain is provided on the rear side of the front axle, and a first rubber plate is fixed on the rear auxiliary roller to slap the mesh cage on the hook onto the outflow chute.

[0014] Preferably, there are multiple first rubber plates arranged opposite each other or in a cross shape.

[0015] Preferably, a front auxiliary roller is provided on the rear side of the rear auxiliary roller, and an auxiliary chain gear is provided on the front auxiliary roller. The auxiliary chain gear meshes with the chain, and the auxiliary chain gear is lower than the two main chain gears in horizontal height.

[0016] Preferably, the hook teeth form an angle α with the horizontal line, where 3° < α < 10°.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] By using the improved high-efficiency wire mesh cage cleaning machine provided by this utility model, the design of using a single, solid rubber plate or a counterweight plate on the second rubber plate of the striking roller prevents the wire mesh cage from getting tangled on the second rubber plate during cleaning, thus avoiding the downtime caused by tangling in traditional cleaning methods. Simultaneously, the design of the auxiliary chain gear and the first rubber plate can quickly knock down the wire mesh cages hooked on the chain, making the entire cleaning process smoother and more efficient. This significantly improves the efficiency of wire mesh cage cleaning and saves labor and time costs. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Various changes can be made to the implementation scheme as long as the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

[0030] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-8 The improved high-efficiency wire mesh cage cleaning machine of this implementation plan is described.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning machine of this embodiment includes a roller pressing mechanism 1 for pressing the wire mesh cage. The roller pressing mechanism includes a power roller that can be driven by a motor and a pressure roller disposed above the power roller. The surfaces of the pressure roller and the power roller are provided with a plurality of protrusions. This part has been disclosed, and the specific structure can be found in the announcement number CN220717123U.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the roller pressing mechanism 1 is provided with a striking roller 2 in the discharge direction, and a plurality of second rubber plates 17 are provided around the striking roller 2 in the circumferential direction and along the axial direction.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second rubber plate 17 is distributed in a cross shape around the circumference of the striking roller 2.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second rubber sheet 17 is a single sheet. In this embodiment, the single sheet of rubber is without holes and is heavy, making it less likely for the mesh cage to get tangled on the rubber sheet.

[0036] In another embodiment, the second rubber sheet 17 has multiple opening slots 18. The opening slots 18 are strip-shaped grooves extending towards the outer edge of the second rubber sheet 17, capable of dividing the second rubber sheet 17 into several slits 19. The opening slots 18 have two forms: a first form with narrow openings (such as...). Figure 4 The first type is shown in the figure, and the second type is shown in the figure, which has a wide opening gap (not shown). When the opening groove 18 is a narrow opening gap, its opening spacing is 0.1 cm to 1 cm; when the opening groove 18 is a wide opening gap, its opening spacing is 1 cm to 6 cm. The opening groove 18 makes the second rubber plate 17 permeable. When the mesh cage is being patted, the two adjacent strips 19 are staggered, allowing water or impurities to fly out through the opening groove 18, increasing the contact effect between the second rubber plate 17 and the mesh cage, thus forming a multi-point cleaning of the mesh cage.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a post-processing table 3 is provided on the front side of the discharge direction of the roller pressing mechanism 1 to further clean the wire mesh cage after it has been patted by the second rubber plate 17. An arc-shaped drainage screen 4 is provided inside the post-processing table 3, and a water pipe 5 is provided on the post-processing table 3. Water nozzles 6 are installed on the water pipe 5 and face the arc-shaped drainage screen 4. When the wire mesh cage enters the arc-shaped drainage screen 4, the water in the water pipe 5 is sprayed out through the water nozzles 6, spraying onto the wire mesh cage to rinse and clean it.

[0038] The end of the post-treatment table 3 is provided with an outflow chute 15 for leading out the cleaned mesh cage. A rolling chain assembly is provided on the post-treatment table 3 along the outflow direction of the arc-shaped drain net 4. The rolling chain assembly includes a chain 8, on which hooks 20 are provided. When the chain 8 rotates, the hooks 20 hook up the mesh cage inside the arc-shaped drain net 4 and transport it to the outflow chute 15. The mesh cage hooked by the hooks 20 will unfold inside the arc-shaped drain net 4, making it easier to be rinsed by the water spray nozzles 6.

[0039] like Figure 6As shown, the hook 20 has a toothed portion, and the toothed portion forms an angle α with the horizontal line, where 3° < α < 10°, preferably 5°. Designing the toothed portion of the hook 20 to be inclined facilitates the subsequent detachment of the net cage from the hook 20.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the rolling chain assembly also includes a front shaft 13 and a rear shaft 7 mounted on the post-processing table 3. A drive motor (not shown) is mounted on the front shaft 13 to drive its rotation. Main chain gears 14 are mounted on both the front shaft 13 and the rear shaft 7, and a chain 8 is mounted on the two main chain gears 14. When the front shaft 13 rotates due to the drive motor, the chain 8 and the rear shaft 7 rotate synchronously. As the chain 8 rotates, its hooks 20 hook and lift the wire mesh cage wound up at the striking roller 2.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a rear auxiliary roller 11 driven by a transmission chain 12 is provided on the rear side of the front axle 13. A first rubber plate 16 is fixed on the rear auxiliary roller 11, which slaps the mesh cage on the hook 20 onto the outflow chute 15. When the front axle 13 rotates, the transmission chain 12 drives the rear auxiliary roller 11 to rotate, and the first rubber plate on the rear auxiliary roller 11 slaps the mesh cage on the hook 20, causing the mesh cage to fall off the hook 20.

[0042] In one embodiment, there are multiple first rubber sheets 16, which have two forms. The first form is that they are arranged opposite to each other (e.g., Figure 7 As shown), the second form is a cross-shaped arrangement (such as...). Figure 8 (As shown). In this embodiment, a cross-shaped arrangement is preferred. The first rubber plate 16 strikes the wire mesh cage as it rotates around the auxiliary roller 11.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, a front auxiliary roller 10 is provided behind the rear auxiliary roller 11, and an auxiliary chain gear 9 is provided on the front auxiliary roller 10. The auxiliary chain gear 9 meshes with the chain 8, and the auxiliary chain gear 9 is horizontally lower than the two main chain gears 14. The auxiliary chain gear 9 is positioned close to the first rubber plate 16. By adopting the design of the auxiliary chain gear 9 being lower than the two main chain gears 14 in the horizontal line, the bottom position of the chain 8 is in a state from high to low. When the net cage is moved to this position, the end of the net cage close to the outflow slide 15 (first section) is lower than the end of the striking roller 2 (tail end), and the whole net cage is tilted. At this time, the rotating first rubber plate 16 can easily knock the net cage down.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
