Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of oyster cleaning equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device for processing oysters. Background Technology

[0002] The main reason why oysters need to be scrubbed is because their shells are covered with a large amount of mud, sand, and microorganisms. Oysters live in the ocean, and their shells accumulate a lot of mud, sand, microorganisms, and other impurities. If these impurities are not cleaned properly, they will affect the taste and hygiene of the oysters.

[0003] In existing techniques, oysters are first soaked in hot salt water, specifically by immersing them in salt water with a small amount of lemon juice added. This helps the oysters expel sand and removes their fishy smell. After soaking for about an hour, the shells are gently scrubbed with clean water and a brush to remove surface mud and dirt. However, for factory-processed oysters, manual cleaning is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for processing oysters, which solves the problem of low efficiency when cleaning oysters manually in the conventional way.

[0007] In this embodiment, at least one inclined support plate is provided on the support frame, the rotating cleaning cylinder is mounted on the inclined support plate through a bearing, and an external drive wheel is prefabricated on the rotating cleaning cylinder. The external drive wheel is coaxially connected to the rotating cleaning cylinder, and a toothed groove is provided on the external drive wheel.

[0008] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a motor is installed on the support frame, and a drive wheel is installed on the power output shaft of the motor. The outer drive wheel is connected to the drive wheel via a transmission belt. The drive wheel is a synchronous pulley, and the transmission belt is a toothed belt. The motor drives the rotating cleaning cylinder to rotate via the synchronous belt and the synchronous pulley, thereby driving the brush inside to effectively clean the oysters.

[0009] Furthermore in this embodiment, the motor is located on the back of the support frame, and a reserved groove is provided on the support frame to facilitate the passage of the transmission belt.

[0010] Furthermore in this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the rotating cleaning cylinder are respectively provided with enlarged diameter ports, which can be specifically designed as tapered holes. By enlarging the ports, it is convenient to feed and discharge materials.

[0011] In this embodiment, the water spraying mechanism further includes a nozzle support fixed on the support frame and a nozzle disposed on the nozzle support and near the upper enlarged diameter port of the rotating cleaning cylinder; wherein the nozzle is connected to a water pump through a water supply pipe, and the water inlet of the water pump is connected to a cleaning liquid, wherein the cleaning liquid is an edible salt solution or a baking soda solution; wherein the edible salt solution or baking soda solution can play a role in inhibiting bacteria.

[0012] In this embodiment, the filtration conveying mechanism is a mesh belt conveyor, a protective cover is provided between the lower port of the rotating cleaning cylinder and the mesh belt conveyor, and a water filtration tank is provided below the mesh belt conveyor; wherein the protective cover is used to prevent the rotating cleaning cylinder from falling out of its lower port when the rotation speed is too high.

[0013] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a belt conveyor for feeding is provided at the upper end of the rotating cleaning drum; wherein the belt conveyor can be driven by a servo motor to facilitate intermittent feeding into the rotating cleaning drum.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In this invention, oysters falling into the rotating cleaning drum are thoroughly scrubbed by cleaning brushes installed on the inner wall of the drum as they descend. Simultaneously, water is supplied from the upper end of the drum via a spray nozzle to rinse away any impurities. Finally, a mesh belt on the lower end of the drum transports the cleaned oysters and filters out wastewater and impurities through its mesh. Wastewater is collected in a filter tank below the conveyor belt. This automated cleaning and transport of oysters improves the efficiency of subsequent oyster processing.
