[0039] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, this application will be further described in detail. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0040] In one embodiment, a scallop cleaning and sorting integrated device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a cleaning device A, and a sorting device B is provided on one side of the cleaning device A, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device A includes a drum cleaning machine, which includes an outer cleaning drum 1 and an inner cleaning drum 2.
[0041] Specifically, the cleaning device A is used to clean the scallops, and the cleaned scallops are conveyed into the sorting device B by the inner cleaning cylinder 2 for sorting.
[0042] In one embodiment, the cleaning device A further includes a conveying mechanism disposed on one side of the drum cleaner. The drum cleaner is equipped with a high-pressure water jet mechanism. The scallops enter the drum cleaner through the conveying mechanism. The drum cleaner is used to clean the scallops. The high-pressure water jet mechanism provides high-pressure water to the drum cleaner.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner cleaning cylinder 2 has a water leakage hole 22, and the number of water leakage holes 22 is at least one; sealing rings are provided at both ends of the inner cleaning cylinder 2; as shown Figure 4As shown, a spherical groove is formed on the inner side of the outer cleaning cylinder 1, and through grooves 23 are formed on the two end walls of the inner cleaning cylinder 2. Ball bearings 3 are positioned between the spherical groove and the through grooves 23. A roller support 4 is provided on the outer side of the outer cleaning cylinder 1, and a motor 5 is located below the roller support 4. A first transmission belt 6 is provided at the output end of the motor 5, and the first transmission belt 6 is connected to the inner cleaning cylinder 2. The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt support 7, a conveyor belt 8 is provided on the conveyor belt support 7, and a conveyor belt motor 9 is provided at one end of the conveyor belt 8. The conveyor belt 9 is inclined, with one end connected to the inner cleaning cylinder 2 and the other end provided with a temporary storage platform 81. Figure 5-6 As shown, the high-pressure water jet mechanism includes a high-pressure water jet pipeline 10, which includes a first pipeline 1011 disposed above the central axis of the inner cleaning cylinder 2, a second pipeline 102 disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism, and a third pipeline 103. The first pipeline 1011 is provided with a high-pressure nozzle 1012, and the number of high-pressure nozzles 1012 is at least one. The second pipeline 102 is provided with a filter 11, and a water pump 12 is provided on one side of the filter 11.
[0044] Specifically, the inner cleaning cylinder 2 is cylindrical, and its inner wall is equipped with brush rollers 21 arranged in a spiral pattern. During the scallop cleaning process, the spiral brush rollers 21 can transport the scallops spirally within the inner cleaning cylinder 2 to the sorting device B. The brush rollers 21 are corrosion-resistant, anti-aging, not easily deformed, have good wear resistance, and high elasticity. The bottom of the outer cleaning cylinder 1 is funnel-shaped, which facilitates the smooth collection of cleaning wastewater into the wastewater drain pipe 101 for discharge. The wastewater drain pipe 101 is located at the lowest point of the funnel. Drainage holes 22 are evenly distributed in multiple rows and columns on the inner cleaning cylinder 2. The wastewater generated during cleaning leaks out from the drainage holes 22 and collects in the outer cleaning cylinder 1. The drain pipe 101 is connected to an external water pipe to further discharge sewage; sealing rings are designed at both ends of the inner cleaning cylinder 2 to prevent seawater from corroding the internal structure; in use, the inner cleaning cylinder 2 is fitted inside the outer cleaning cylinder 1, the length of the inner cleaning cylinder 2 is greater than that of the outer cleaning cylinder 1, and the extended part is connected to the first transmission belt 6. The motor 5 drives the first transmission belt 6 to rotate, and the first transmission belt 6 drives the inner cleaning cylinder 2 to rotate, thereby realizing transmission; the spherical groove, the ball bearing 3 and the through groove 23 cooperate with each other to make the inner cleaning cylinder 2 rotate around the outer cleaning cylinder 1, and can ensure that the ball bearing 3 rotates in a fixed position during the rotation process without jamming; the drum bracket 4 is used to support the drum washing machine;
[0045] The conveying mechanism is located at one end of the inner cleaning cylinder 2. The conveying mechanism is responsible for transporting scallops. The conveyor belt bracket 7 is used to fix the conveyor belt 8. The conveyor belt motor 9 provides power to the conveyor belt 8. The temporary storage platform 81 is part of the conveyor belt 8. The temporary storage platform 81 has no tilt angle and is parallel to the ground. It can temporarily store some scallops when loading. The conveyor belt 8 is equipped with a belt tensioning mechanism to ensure that the conveyor belt 8 works normally, transports smoothly, and does not slip relative to the scallops. The conveyor belt motor 9 is a speed-regulating motor, and the conveyor belt 8 is made of a flexible belt.
[0046] High-pressure water jet pipeline 10 introduces external high-pressure water into the inner cleaning cylinder 2 to clean the scallops. The first pipeline 1011, the second pipeline 102, and the third pipeline 103 are connected. To prevent sudden changes in the cross-sectional position of the cleaning water flow during its flow, the inner diameter of the pipeline needs to be changed. Two diameter-changing operations are required from the centrifugal pump outlet to the high-pressure nozzle 1012, where the reducing pipe uses a concentric reducing diameter design. A coarse filter is installed at the inlet end of the second pipeline 102. Figure 7 As shown, the high-pressure nozzle 1012 is conical and straight, which has a good cleaning effect; the filter 11 filters the high-pressure water to be used, and the water pump 12 provides the pumping power.
[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8-10 As shown, the sorting device B includes a frame 28, on which a screen cylinder mechanism is mounted. A feed hopper 13 is connected to one side of the screen cylinder mechanism, and a collection hopper 29 is connected to the bottom of the screen cylinder mechanism. The screen cylinder mechanism includes a screen cylinder, which is formed by screen bars 16, spiral baffles 17, and flanges 32. A main shaft 26 passes through the middle of the screen cylinder. Figure 11-12 As shown, the lead of the spiral baffle 17 is uneven, and the spiral baffle 17 and the screen bar 16 form a screen hole; one end of the main shaft 26 is provided with a bearing 18, a coupling 30 is provided on one side of the bearing 18, a hardened gear reducer 19 is provided on one side of the coupling 30, and a large pulley 25 is provided on one side of the hardened gear reducer 19; the other end of the main shaft 26 is provided with a feed hopper connecting plate 34, and a feed hopper connecting wheel 35 is provided on the feed hopper connecting plate 34; a corrugated cylinder 36 is provided on one side of the feed hopper 13, and the corrugated cylinder 36 cooperates with the feed hopper connecting wheel 35; a support wheel 31 is provided at the bottom of the end of the screen cylinder near the feed hopper 13, and a collection hopper 29 is set on the frame 28, and the number of collection hoppers 29 is at least one.
[0048] Specifically, frame 28 supports the screen cylinder mechanism and collection hopper 29. Feed hopper 13 collects scallops from cleaning device A and transfers them to the screen cylinder. Feed hopper connecting plate 34 rotates together with main shaft 26. Feed hopper connecting wheel 35 on feed hopper connecting plate 34 contacts the wave-shaped cylinder 36 on feed hopper 13 support plate, and together with the spring on the connecting guide rail at the bottom of feed hopper 13, controls feed hopper 13, causing it to perform linear reciprocating motion. Feed hopper 13 is connected to the drum washing machine on one side and the screen cylinder mechanism on the other. The length and diameter of screen bars 16 are determined according to the lead of spiral baffle 17. The size of the screen holes after the screen bars 16 and spiral baffle 17 are matched with the average size of the scallops. Spiral baffle 17 is arranged in an equidistant circular array according to the corresponding scallop grading size. To prevent scallops from getting stuck during grading and to ensure the screen holes are at a suitable size, the lead of spiral baffle 17 inside the drum was finally determined after several trials and modifications, resulting in a screen cylinder with a diameter of less than 50 mm and a diameter of 50-80 mm. With sieve openings of 80-100 mm and 80-100 mm, the spiral baffle 17 can transport and turn the scallops. Scallops larger than 100 mm are carried out of the sieve cylinder by the spiral baffle 17 and fall into the corresponding collection hopper 29. There are four collection hoppers 29 to collect four different sizes of scallops. The flange 32 is used to support the sieve cylinder. The two ends of the sieve cylinder are respectively equipped with an inlet baffle 15 and an outlet baffle 33 to prevent scallops from falling.
[0049] A second transmission belt 24 is provided on the large pulley 25. The second transmission belt 24 is connected to a small pulley 20. A reduction motor 14 is provided on one side of the small pulley 20. The reduction motor 14 provides power so that the small pulley drives the second transmission belt 24 to rotate. The second transmission belt 24 drives the large pulley 25 to rotate. The large pulley 25 drives the main shaft 26 to rotate. A screen cylinder support shaft 27 is provided on the inner wall of the flange 32. The screen cylinder support shaft 27 connects the main shaft 26 and the flange 32, thereby enabling the main shaft to drive the screen cylinder to rotate. There are four screen cylinder support shafts 27.
[0050] The specific structure of this utility model has been described in detail above. The following description, in conjunction with... Figure 1-12 The working principle of the above-mentioned integrated scallop cleaning and sorting device is described as follows:
[0051] The integrated cleaning and sorting device starts working when the conveyor belt motor 9, motor 5, geared motor 14, and hardened gear reducer 19 are turned on. The second pipeline 102 is connected to an external water pipe, and the rinsing water is sprayed out from the high-pressure nozzle 1012 through the high-pressure water jet pipeline 10. The scallops to be cleaned are placed on the temporary storage platform 81. The scallops enter the inner cleaning cylinder 2 through the temporary storage platform 81 and the conveyor belt 8 to start cleaning. The brush roller 21 drives the scallops to move while cleaning. The cleaned scallops enter the screen cylinder through the feed hopper 13 for sorting. According to the different screen holes, scallops of different sizes are sorted into different collection hoppers 29 to achieve the cleaning and sorting of scallops.
[0052] This application provides an integrated scallop cleaning and sorting device, including a cleaning unit and a sorting unit on one side. The cleaning unit includes a drum cleaner, which comprises an outer cleaning drum and an inner cleaning drum. The brush rollers inside the inner cleaning drum work together with the high-pressure jet pipeline to achieve cleaning while simultaneously conveying the scallops, resulting in high cleaning efficiency and water conservation. The conical nozzle has a smooth outlet surface, ensuring natural water flow and uniform jet impact, reducing energy consumption and damage to the scallops during water jet cleaning, resulting in excellent cleaning effect and high efficiency. It removes impurities from the scallop surface while maintaining the scallop's integrity. The design of the drum's screen bars and spiral baffles fully considers the characteristics of scallops. The length and diameter of the screen bars are determined according to the lead of the spiral baffles, and the size of the screen openings after the screen bars and spiral baffles are combined matches the average size of the scallops, making it suitable for most scallops entering the sorting unit. Sorting is smooth with a low rate of missed screening. The integrated cleaning and sorting device has a simple structure, is easy to install, occupies a small area, and is stable to transport. It is suitable for operations in smaller spaces (such as on fishing boats) and has a wide range of applications.
