Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kelp processing, and in particular relates to a kelp processing soaking and impurity removal device. Background Technology
[0002] Kelp is a common seafood product, rich in various nutrients, and widely used in food processing. During the processing of kelp into strips, it needs to be soaked and cleaned to remove mud, impurities, and salt, making it softer and easier to process. Soaking kelp softens its texture, making it easier to handle in subsequent processes such as slicing and cooking. At the same time, soaking further removes impurities from the kelp's surface, such as salt and sand, resulting in cleaner and more hygienic kelp.
[0003] Comparing with Chinese Patent No. CN219698952U, a kelp processing soaking and impurity removal device is disclosed, including a soaking tank, a sand guiding tank at the bottom of the soaking tank, a filter screen between the soaking tank and the sand guiding tank, a solution water pipe embedded in the inner wall of the soaking tank, a water pump on one side of the soaking tank, a water pump outlet pipe passing through the outer wall of the soaking tank and connected to the solution water pipe, a solution storage tank on one side of the water pump, a stirring rod in the soaking tank, a sloping sand guiding tank, a sand outlet at the bottom of the sand guiding tank, and a water outlet valve at the sand outlet; by opening the water outlet valve, sand and gravel can be quickly discharged without wasting a large amount of water resources, thereby saving water resources and ensuring that too much sand and gravel does not remain in the soaking tank, affecting the soaking process, and accelerating the soaking efficiency of kelp.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patent requires opening and closing to discharge mud and sand, which still results in the discharge of a large amount of water, causing waste. Furthermore, the mud and sand can only be discharged intermittently and periodically, which can easily lead to mud and sand accumulation. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed.

[0008] Furthermore: the tank assembly includes a fixing frame, on which a water tank mechanism is provided, and a support frame is provided on one side of the water tank mechanism. Two stirring rods are symmetrically installed inside the water tank mechanism, and a first motor is provided at the front end of the stirring rod.
[0009] Furthermore: the water tank mechanism includes a water tank, the bottom of the water tank is a slope inclined to one end, the bottom end of the slope is provided with a first sand outlet, and a barrier net is installed in the middle of the water tank.

[0014] Furthermore: the connecting pipe and the connecting seat are bolted together, and the connecting pipe and the sand discharge cylinder are welded together.

During operation, the dried kelp is poured into the water tank 102 containing water for soaking. After absorbing water, the kelp unfolds. The third motor 106 drives the stirring rod 105 to rotate and stir, causing the mud and sand attached to the kelp leaves to fall off. The mud and sand pass through the barrier net 104 and fall onto the slope at the bottom of the water tank 102. Under the dual action of the vibrating motor 108 and gravity, the mud and sand flow along the slope to the first sand outlet 109 and pass through into the sedimentation tank 201.
[0029] In this embodiment: the collection component includes a sedimentation tank 201, with a pushing mechanism for collecting sediment towards the center in the middle of the sedimentation tank 201, and a second sand outlet 206 at the center of the bottom of the sedimentation tank 201. Two connecting seats 205 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second sand outlet 206. The pushing mechanism includes a first rotating shaft 202, with a first motor 204 at one end of the first rotating shaft 202, and two first spiral blades 203 symmetrically arranged on the first rotating shaft 202, with the two first spiral blades 203 rotating in opposite directions. The sedimentation tank 201 is a rectangular box with an open top, and the sedimentation tank 201 is bolted to the tank trough assembly.

The mud and sand pass through the barrier net 104 and fall onto the slope at the bottom of the water tank 102. Under the combined action of the vibrating motor 108 and gravity, the mud and sand flow along the slope to the first sand outlet 109 and pass through into the sedimentation tank 201. The sedimentation tank 201 supports the first motor 204 to drive the first rotating shaft 202 to rotate the first spiral blade 203, pushing the mud and sand from both ends to the middle and converging it to the second sand outlet 206. The mud and sand are then pushed through the second sand outlet 206 and into the bottom of the sand discharge cylinder 301 through the connecting pipe 302. Then, the second motor 305 drives the second rotating shaft 303 to rotate the second spiral blade 304, pushing the mud and sand to rise to the third sand outlet 306 for discharge.
