[0021] See Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a tilapia gill removal and cleaning device, including a base 1, a frame 8, and a controller 20. The frame 8 is located on the top surface of the base 1. A conveyor belt 2 is provided on the top surface of the base 1. A fixed seat 3 is provided on the conveyor belt 2. The fixed seat 3 has a V-shaped groove 4 for accommodating tilapia. A first electric push rod 5 is provided opposite to each other on the inner wall of the fixed seat 3. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 5 is connected to a fixed clamping plate 6. A bracket 33 is provided opposite to each other on the side of the fixed seat 3. A second electric push rod 15 is provided opposite to each other on the side of the two brackets 33. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 15 is connected to an air box 25. Suction cups 26 and exhaust valves 27 are provided on two opposite sides of the air box 25. The exhaust valve 27 is used to connect the air box 25 to the outside air and release the suction force of the suction cups 26. The air box 25 is connected to a vacuum pump 29 through a vacuum tube 28. Pump 29 is located on the side of bracket 33. A moving mechanism is provided on the top of the frame 8. A third electric push rod 24 is provided at the bottom of the moving mechanism. The telescopic end of the third electric push rod 24 is connected to a lifting plate 16. A water spraying mechanism and a gill churning mechanism are provided on the lifting plate 16. The gill churning mechanism includes a U-shaped frame 17, a first motor 10, a circular saw 19, and steel wool. The U-shaped frame 17 is located at the bottom of the lifting plate 16. The first motor 10 is located at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 17 facing each other. The output shaft of the first motor 10 is equipped with a circular saw 19. Multiple steel wools are provided around the circumference of the circular saw 19. The controller 20 is located on the top surface of the frame 8 and is electrically connected to the first electric push rod 5, the second electric push rod 15, the vacuum pump 29, the exhaust valve 27, the third electric push rod 24, the first motor 10, and the water spraying mechanism. The controller 20 uses an STM32-L0 low-power microprocessor.

[0022] When the gill removal and cleaning device is working, firstly, the tilapia is placed belly-up in the V-shaped groove 4. Then, the first electric push rod 5 is activated, and its telescopic end extends, causing the fixing clamp 6 to move towards the center, thus clamping and fixing the tilapia. Next, the conveyor belt 2 is activated to transport the fixing seat 3 to the predetermined position. Then, the second electric push rod 15 is activated, and its telescopic end extends, causing the air box 25 to move. The air box 25 then moves the suction cup 26, which abuts against the surface of the gill bones. Next, the vibration pump is activated. The vacuum pump 29 is connected to the air box 25 through the vacuum tube 28, drawing air out of the air box 25, causing the suction cup 26 to adhere to the gill covers on both sides of the tilapia. Finally, the second electric push rod 15 is activated, and its telescopic end shortens, causing the suction cup 26 to move to both sides, thus... Open the gill covers on both sides of the tilapia, then start the moving mechanism, the water spraying mechanism, and the first motor 10. Start the first motor 10, and the rotation of the first motor 10 drives the circular saw 19 to rotate. The moving mechanism drives the U-shaped frame 17 to move along the direction of the gill bones. The rotating circular saw 19 and the steel bristles at the edge of the circular saw 19 crush the gills inside the gill covers. At the same time, the water spraying mechanism generates a high-speed water flow to rinse the crushed gill fragments, thereby completing the removal and cleaning of the gills. This not only keeps the tilapia intact but also improves the cleaning effect.

[0023] Preferably, the fixing clamp 6 includes a clamp 6 and a rubber layer 7. The two clamps 6 are connected to the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 5 on their sides. The upper ends of the two clamps 6 are provided with arcs, and the distance between the upper ends of the arcs is relatively large. The rubber layer 7 is provided on the side of the clamp 6. The rubber layer 7 can increase the friction of the tilapia surface and has elasticity, which is beneficial to fixing the tilapia.

[0024] When the gill removal and cleaning device is working, first place the tilapia belly-up in the V-shaped groove 4, then activate the first electric push rod 5. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 5 extends, causing the clamping plate 6 to move towards the center, so that the rubber layer 7 clamps the tilapia on both sides. This completes the fixation of the tilapia.

[0025] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a first lead screw 9, a second motor 13, a first moving block 11, a second lead screw 12, a third motor 18, and a second moving block 14. The first lead screw 9 is rotatably mounted on the top of the frame 8, with one end rotatably connected to the frame 8 and the other end passing through the frame 8 and driving the second motor 13. The second motor 13 is located on the side of the frame 8 and is a stepper motor with precisely controllable rotation angle. The first moving block 11 is mounted on the first lead screw 9. The second lead screw 12 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the first moving block 11, with one end rotatably connected to the first moving block 11 and the other end passing through the moving block and driving the third motor 18. The third motor 18 is located on the side of the first moving block 11 and is a stepper motor with precisely controllable rotation angle. The second moving block 14 is mounted on the second lead screw 12, and a third push rod is connected to the bottom surface of the second moving block 14.

[0026] When the gill removal and cleaning device is working, the conveyor belt 2 transports the fixed seat 3 and tilapia to the predetermined position, and starts the second motor 13. The rotation of the second motor 13 drives the first lead screw 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the first moving block 11 to move. This can drive the third electric push rod 24 to move laterally. At the same time, the third motor 18 is started, and the rotation of the third motor 18 drives the second lead screw 12 to rotate. The rotation of the second lead screw 12 drives the second moving block 14 to move, which in turn drives the third electric push rod 24 to move longitudinally. The combination of lateral and longitudinal movements can ensure that the gill crushing mechanism moves along the gill direction, which is beneficial for the circular saw 19 to move to the connection between the gills and the fish body, and facilitates the gill crushing operation.

[0027] Preferably, the water spraying mechanism includes a water pump 21, a water valve 22, a water pipe 23, and a double-headed spray pipe 32. The water pump 21 is located on the top surface of the lifting plate 16, and the water pump 21 is connected to the double-headed spray pipe 32 through the water pipe 23. The double-headed spray pipe 32 is arranged in a V-shape.

[0028] After the gill-crushing mechanism crushes the gills, the water pump 21 and water valve 22 are activated. The water pump 21 sends clean water through the water pipe 23 into the double-headed nozzle 32. The double-headed nozzle 32 continuously impacts the gills of the tilapia with a high-speed water flow, washing away the gill fragments.

[0029] Preferably, the bottom of the fixing base 3 is provided with a drainage hole 31.

[0030] When the gill removal and cleaning device is working, the water spraying mechanism washes away the broken gills with a high-speed water flow, and the water accumulated at the bottom of the fixing seat 3 is discharged from the drain hole 31, which helps to keep the fixing seat 3 clean.

[0031] Preferably, it also includes a support leg 30, which is disposed at the bottom of the base 1.

[0032] The support leg 30 is used to support the entire device, increase the overall stability of the device, better adapt to different heights and types of ground, and ensure the normal operation of the device.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
