Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelling technology for clam shelling, and in particular to a vibrating shell-separating machine for clam shelling. Background Technology

[0002] Clams are mollusks with oval, light brown shells edged with purple. They live in shallow seas and include many varieties such as hard clams, razor clams, and more. Their meat is delicious and nutritious, making them a popular seafood. For ease of transport, most clams are sold dried. However, the drying process requires shelling. Traditionally, clams are shelled manually after being caught, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity. Publication number CN207653478U discloses a vibrating shell-splitting machine for variegated clams, including a high-temperature heating chamber and a first vibrating screen. The high-temperature heating chamber has a discharge port on one side along its length. The first vibrating screen includes a first frame and a first screen body fixedly connected above the first frame, with one end of the first screen body positioned at the discharge port along its length. Below, the first screen body has multiple meat-collecting grooves, and a guide chute is also inclined below the first screen body. The guide chute is fixedly connected to the first frame. The high-temperature heating box heats the clams to initially separate the clam meat from the clam shells. Then, the meat falls through the discharge port onto the first vibrating screen to vibrate the clams, separating the clam meat from the shells on the first screen body. The meat-collecting grooves allow the clam meat on the first screen body to fall into the guide chute. The above device greatly improves the reduction of clam meat damage through the screen plate. However, during the separation process, clams of different sizes and colors may appear. Small clam shells may also fall into the clam meat after screening, requiring multiple screenings. At the same time, the vibration at the same frequency may cause material to accumulate and not disperse, resulting in poor shell separation. Improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 8-9A centrifugal screen body 33 is installed on the right side of the upright frame 20. A centrifugal screen 34 is rotatably connected inside the centrifugal screen body 33.

After heating, the clams achieve initial shell-meat separation. Then, they are conveyed to screen plates A4 and B8 by conveyor belt 3, and vibrating motor A6 and vibrating motor B31 further separate the clams. Driven by motor B9, the shell-separating process is performed quickly. The screened clam meat falls onto receiving trays B19 and A18.

All separated clam meat falls into centrifugal screen 34, and all clam shells are discharged through guide chute A13 and guide chute B17 respectively. The clam meat that falls into centrifugal screen 34 will be driven by motor 36 to rotate rapidly inside the centrifugal screen body 33 to further separate residual mud, sand and shell fragments. The separated waste is discharged through drain port 35, thus obtaining clean and complete clam meat and completing the shell-separating process.
