Automatic fish cleaning apparatus

Abstract

This utility model discloses an automatic fish cleaning device, including a water tank, support legs, an ultrasonic generator, a water inlet, and a water outlet. The device features a cleaning mechanism that uses a motor to drive a drum to rotate stably, continuously tumbling the fish inside. This effectively increases the contact area between the ultrasonic waves and the fish, improving cleaning thoroughness and reducing blind spots. The drum is divided into three compartments (compartment 1, compartment 2, and compartment 3) by detachable partitions, allowing for the separate cleaning of different types and sizes of fish. This facilitates flexible batch and category processing, adapting to diverse cleaning needs. Rubber pads and staggered permeable holes and cleaning protrusions reduce injuries to the fish during tumbling. The permeable holes ensure smooth water circulation, providing a suitable fluid environment for cleaning. The cleaning protrusions gently scrape the fish, effectively enhancing physical cleaning power. Furthermore, the staggered layout disperses the force on the fish, reducing damage and protecting the integrity of the catch.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic cleaning technology, specifically to an automatic cleaning device for fish catch. Background Technology

[0002] Fish catches generally refer to the technological system developed by humans in the long process of obtaining aquatic organisms. It encompasses fishing, aquaculture, and resource management methods from traditional to modern times. In the early days, simple tools such as bare hands, fishing gear, and nets were mainly used, relying on wooden boats and natural laws for operation. Mechanized fishing and powered vessels have promoted the development of deep-sea fisheries. Sonar, satellite remote sensing and other detection technologies have improved the accuracy of fish school location. Aquaculture technology supplements natural catches through artificial intervention. Modern times place more emphasis on sustainability and have developed selective fishing tools, ecological aquaculture models, and electronic monitoring technologies.

[0003] In existing technologies, ultrasonic generators are commonly used to clean fish. This physical cleaning technique utilizes the cavitation effect generated by high-frequency sound waves in a liquid medium to convert ultrasonic waves into mechanical vibrations that are transmitted into the liquid. This causes the liquid molecules to vibrate violently, generating a large number of tiny bubbles. These bubbles close and burst in a high-pressure zone, impacting the surface of the fish and removing dirt. However, fish have a complex structure with many dead corners and blind spots, which can easily lead to incomplete cleaning and affect cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides an automatic fish cleaning device, including a water tank 1, support feet 2, ultrasonic generators 3, water inlet 4, water outlet 5 and cleaning mechanism 6. The support feet 2 are detachably installed at the four corners of the bottom of the water tank 1. Two sets of ultrasonic generators 3 are bolted to the bottom of the water tank 1. The water inlet 4 is installed on the upper left front of the water tank 1 and the water outlet 5 is installed on the right side of the water tank 1.

[0020] Please see Figure 2-3 The cleaning mechanism 6 is installed on the water tank 1. The cleaning mechanism 6 includes a motor 61 and a cleaning component 62. The motor 61 is bolted to the upper left side of the water tank 1. The right side of the motor 61 is connected to the cleaning component 62. The cleaning component includes a roller 621, which is located inside the water tank 1. The two sides of the roller 621 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the water tank 1. The left side of the roller 621 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 61 to drive the roller 621 to rotate. The inside of the roller 621 is divided into a first compartment 622 and a second compartment 623 by a detachable partition 626. The No. 1 compartment 622, No. 2 compartment 623, and No. 3 compartment 624 allow for flexible use of the internal space of the drum 621, enabling the cleaning of different types of fish. The partition 626 can also be removed to increase the usable space and clean more fish of the same type, enhancing the equipment's applicability. Furthermore, the No. 1 compartment 622, No. 2 compartment 623, and No. 3 compartment 624 are all equipped with embedded rubber pads 627, which can effectively prevent fish from being injured by impact during rolling and tumbling. The drum 621 has a feed port 625, which is used to add different types of fish to the No. 1 compartment 622, No. 2 compartment 623, and No. 3 compartment 624 respectively.

[0021] Among them, the No. 1 compartment 622, No. 2 compartment 623 and No. 3 compartment 624 are the same in shape and size, and can handle fish of the same size but different types at the same time, increasing cleaning efficiency. Moreover, each of the No. 1 compartment 622, No. 2 compartment 623 and No. 3 compartment 624 has no less than two sets of water inlets to introduce water and ultrasonic waves into the compartment, ensuring water flow.

[0022] Please see Figure 4-5 In this utility model, rubber pads 627 are installed inside the first compartment 622, the second compartment 623, and the third compartment 624. The three sets of rubber pads 627 are provided with water permeable holes 6271 and cleaning protrusions 6272. There are no less than two sets of water permeable holes 6271 and cleaning protrusions 6272, so that water and ultrasonic waves can be effectively transmitted into the drum 621. The water permeable holes 6271 and cleaning protrusions 6272 are arranged in an alternating manner, which can optimize the use space, improve the stability and efficiency of the overall cleaning, and ensure that the fish can be fully and appropriately cleaned in each compartment.

[0023] Working principle: Determines whether to use roller 621 for separation.

[0024] First, the operator opens the feed inlet 625 and places the fish into the three compartments 622, 623, and 624, which are separated by the partition 626, according to the type of fish to be cleaned. After adding a certain amount, the feed inlet 625 is closed. Then, water is added to the water tank 1 through the water inlet 4. After the water level is reached, the motor 61 and the ultrasonic generator 3 are turned on. The motor 6 will drive the drum 621 to rotate, and the ultrasonic generator 3 will cause the water to generate bubbles. The bubbles impact the surface of the fish to remove dirt.

[0025] Secondly, the rotation of the drum 621 causes the fish to turn over continuously due to gravity, allowing the ultrasonic waves to fully contact the surface of the fish. This effectively avoids uneven cleaning caused by the complex surface of the fish, effectively expands the cleaning area, reduces dead corners, and improves the cleaning effect. The rubber pads 627 inside the three compartments effectively ensure the quality of the fish and reduce the damage rate. The cleaning protrusions 6272 can clean the fish and scrape off stains, which can enhance the cleaning effect on the hidden parts of the fish. After cleaning for a period of time, the motor 61, the ultrasonic generator 3 and the water outlet 5 are turned off at the same time to completely drain the water. Then, the feed outlet 625 is opened to remove the fish from the first compartment 622, the second compartment 623 and the third compartment 624 after cleaning. The above operation is repeated to complete the cleaning of the fish.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
