Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of shell cleaning, and in particular relates to a shellfish cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning shellfish is a step in seafood processing. Shellfish live in marine or freshwater environments, and their shells and interiors are prone to accumulating dirt such as mud, seaweed, and microorganisms. Cleaning removes these impurities, making the shellfish cleaner and more hygienic. Removing dirt and harmful substances reduces the risk of food poisoning from consuming unclean shellfish. Cleaned shellfish also taste better and have more tender meat. In addition, clean shells enhance the overall appearance of the dish and increase appetite.

[0003] Traditional manual shellfish cleaning is inefficient, ineffective, and labor-intensive, failing to meet industry demands. On the other hand, with rising food safety and hygiene standards and the large-scale development of the shellfish industry, there is an urgent need for efficient and clean mechanized cleaning methods. Advances in machinery manufacturing, automation, fluid mechanics, and other fields provide support for innovation, while increased environmental awareness drives the focus on wastewater treatment and recycling to reduce pollution, all contributing to the development of shellfish cleaning equipment. Therefore, we provide a shellfish cleaning device to address the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model is a shellfish cleaning device, including a cleaning support frame 1. Specifically, a partition baffle is fixedly connected between the two inner side walls of the cleaning support frame 1. The partition baffle divides the interior of the cleaning support frame 1 into a coarse cleaning zone and an ultrasonic cleaning zone.

[0025] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The shells to be cleaned are put into the cleaning support frame 1. The shells fall into the coarse cleaning zone. The brush cleaning roller 2 is rotated to perform preliminary coarse cleaning on the shells. During the coarse cleaning process, the shells move synchronously until they enter the second cleaning frame 4 in the ultrasonic cleaning zone. At the same time, the ultrasonic cleaning equipment in the ultrasonic cleaning zone performs ultrasonic cleaning on the shells inside the second cleaning frame 4. After cleaning is completed, the collection opening and closing top cover 6 is rotated to open the upper part of the collection support frame 5. During this process, the second cleaning frame 4 moves the cleaned shells upward synchronously until the second cleaning frame 4 transfers the shells inside and pours them into the collection support frame 5. The cleaned shells fall into the collection transfer frame 7 for collection. Specific Implementation Example 2

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6Based on the specific embodiment one, specifically, a material conveying plate 8 is fixedly connected inside the coarse cleaning zone. The material conveying plate 8 has a V-shaped plate structure. A number of filter holes are opened on one surface of the material conveying plate 8, and a transfer transmission plate 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the material conveying plate 8 through a first ear plate. The transfer transmission plate 9 is connected to the lower surface of the material conveying plate 8 through an elastic element. A first transmission wheel 10 corresponding to the brush cleaning roller 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning support frame 1. The first transmission wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the corresponding brush cleaning roller 2. The first transmission wheel 10 has a double-layer transmission channel structure, that is, the first transmission wheel 10 can be connected to two adjacent first transmission wheels 10 through two first transmission belts. The two adjacent first transmission wheels 10 are connected through a first transmission belt. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning support frame 1 near the first transmission wheel 10 through a motor base. A second transmission wheel 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft of the drive motor. The second transmission wheel 11 is connected to the corresponding first transmission wheel 10 through a second transmission belt.

[0028] Furthermore, two vertical guide slides 12 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the partition baffle, and a lifting partition 13 is slidably arranged between the two vertical guide slides 12. An electric telescopic structure (not shown in the figure) is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning support frame 1 through a support frame. The output end of the electric telescopic structure is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lifting partition 13. The lifting partition 13 is moved up and down by the electric telescopic structure. The lifting partition 13 is adapted to the transfer transmission plate 9. Two L-shaped guide slides 14 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the ultrasonic cleaning zone away from the lifting partition 13. The second cleaning frame 4 rolls with the two L-shaped guide slides 14. Two transfer transmission rods 15 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second cleaning frame 4 through a second ear plate.

[0029] Furthermore, two electric telescopic rods 16 are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the collection support frame 5 via extension brackets. One end of the electric telescopic rod 16 is hinged to the collection opening and closing top cover 6. Two transmission extension rods 17 are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the collection opening and closing top cover 6. The transmission extension rods 17 are rotatably connected to the corresponding transfer transmission rods 15.

[0030] Furthermore, a transfer support platform 18 is fixedly connected between the two inner side walls of the collection support frame 5, and a collection transfer frame 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transfer support platform 18. A collection frame 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection support frame 5, and an inclined guide plate 20 is fixedly connected between the collection frame 19 and the collection transfer frame 7. A collection and dispensing door 21 is provided on the side of the collection support frame 5 away from the first cleaning frame 3.

[0031] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The seashells to be cleaned are placed into the cleaning support frame 1. The seashells fall into the coarse cleaning zone and onto the material conveyor plate 8. The drive motor is started to drive the second transmission wheel 11 to rotate. Under the connection of the second transmission belt, the corresponding first transmission wheel 10 rotates synchronously. Under the connection of the first transmission belt, the first transmission wheel 10 rotates synchronously, which in turn drives the brush cleaning roller 2 to rotate synchronously. By controlling the rotation of the brush cleaning roller 2, the seashells are initially coarsely cleaned. Impurities and water generated during the coarse cleaning process are discharged through the filter holes. After the coarse cleaning of the seashells is completed, the lifting partition 13 is controlled to move upward, and the transfer transmission plate 9 is moved upward under the elastic recovery action of the elastic element. The transfer transmission plate 9 rotates so that its lower end is directly above the second cleaning frame 4. When the brush cleaning roller 2 rotates, the coarsely cleaned shells move along the material conveyor plate 8 and then move to the inside of the second cleaning frame 4 via the transfer transmission plate 9. After the shells enter the second cleaning frame 4 in the ultrasonic cleaning zone, the lifting partition 13 is controlled to move downward. The transfer transmission plate 9 is squeezed and rotates in the opposite direction by the lower end of the lifting partition 13, and the elastic element is compressed. Then, the next batch of shells is put into the coarse cleaning zone. The brush cleaning roller 2 rotates to coarsely clean the next batch of shells. At the same time, the ultrasonic cleaning equipment in the ultrasonic cleaning zone performs ultrasonic cleaning on the shells inside the second cleaning frame 4.

[0032] After ultrasonic cleaning is completed, the two electric telescopic rods 16 are activated simultaneously, causing them to pull the collecting opening and closing top cover 6. The collecting opening and closing top cover 6 rotates, opening the upper part of the collecting support frame 5. Simultaneously, as the collecting opening and closing top cover 6 rotates, the two intermediate transmission links 15 move synchronously at one end under the connection of the transmission extension link 17. Under the connection of the intermediate transmission links 15, the second cleaning frame 4 slides along the L-shaped guide slide 14, and the second cleaning frame 4 carries the cleaned shell... The shells move upward along the vertical section of the L-shaped guide slide 14. When the second cleaning frame 4 moves along the horizontal end of the L-shaped guide slide 14, the second cleaning frame 4 rotates 90°, causing the shells inside the second cleaning frame 4 to fall into the collection support frame 5. The cleaned shells fall into the collection transfer frame 7 for collection. The shells inside the collection transfer frame 7 slide down the inclined guide plate 20 into the collection frame 19. Opening the collection and material removal door 21 can transfer the cleaned shells inside the collection frame 19 out of the collection support frame 5.
