Further, the connecting pipe 6 is rotatably sealed to the end of the first hollow shaft 3 through a rotatable sealing connector. Multiple suspended flushing assemblies are evenly distributed around the first hollow shaft 3, and multiple hollow hooks 9 are evenly distributed at equal intervals along the axial direction of the second hollow shaft 8. The second hollow shaft 8 and the hollow rotating frame 4 are rotatably sealed through a mechanical shaft seal or packing. Both ends of the second hollow shaft 8 are sealed.
[0028] For details, please refer to Figure 5 or Figure 7 A flow distribution element is installed on the hollow hook 9, and the bottom of the flow distribution element is provided with a conical head; furthermore, the flow distribution element is located directly above the outlet end of the hollow hook 9, and the flow distribution element is fixedly connected to the hollow hook 9 through connecting rods, etc.
[0029] For details, please refer to Figure 5 or Figure 7 The top of the flow distribution component 10 is provided with a hemisphere.
[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6The gantry 2 is equipped with a clamping component for limiting the rotation of the first hollow shaft 3. The clamping component includes a gear plate 14 fixedly connected to the first hollow shaft 3, a clamping tube 15 slidably mounted on the gantry 2, and a spring 16 sleeved on the clamping tube 15. The clamping tube 15 is elastically connected to the gantry 2 through the spring 16. Furthermore, in the compressed state of the spring 16, the end of the clamping tube 15 engages with the teeth on the gear plate 14.
[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 1 A U-shaped footrest 17 is hinged on the gantry frame 2, and a crossbar 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the clamping tube 15. The crossbar 18 is slidably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped footrest 17.
[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 6 The driving element 7 is a rotating rod; further, in another embodiment, the driving element 7 may also be an electric motor or other equivalent element that drives the first hollow shaft 3 to rotate.
[0033] The automatic meat cleaning device provided in this embodiment has a water distribution component 10 that can block the water sprayed from the opening at the end of the hollow hook 9, while the conical head 11 can block and disperse the sprayed water flow, making the water spray range larger and thus cleaning the carcass cavity more thoroughly.
