Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish glue cleaning technology, and in particular to a fish glue cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Fish maw, the dried swim bladder of fish, is one of the "Eight Treasures" of traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed to nourish the liver and kidneys, replenish blood, and stop bleeding, making it an excellent tonic for those who are weak, recovering from illness, or postpartum. Because fish maw contains impurities before being processed into finished fish maw, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned before consumption.

[0003] Traditional factory cleaning involves placing fish bladders in a net frame for rinsing. However, the surface of the fish bladders piled together still contains a lot of blood and impurities after cleaning, affecting the quality and taste of the final fish maw product.

[0004] Existing technologies for cleaning fish bladders involve placing a certain amount of fish bladders in a cleaning frame, which is then placed into a tank containing the cleaning frame. Vibration or agitation is used to increase the contact between the water flow and the fish bladders, achieving high-efficiency and high-quality cleaning. However, the cleaning process generates a large amount of foam and floating debris. When the cleaning frame is lifted after the fish bladders have been cleaned, the debris adhering to the upper layer of the fish bladders requires secondary cleaning, increasing the cost of cleaning solution and adding a manual cleaning step.

[0050] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0051] This embodiment relates to a fish maw cleaning device, which, as a whole, is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cleaning equipment includes a body 1, a first cleaning chamber 1011 and a second cleaning chamber 1021 formed on the body 1, a rotating drum 2 disposed in the first cleaning chamber 1011, a drive assembly 3 for driving the rotating drum 2 to rotate, and a cleaning assembly 4 connected to the body 1. A communicating channel 5 is provided between the first cleaning chamber 1011 and the second cleaning chamber 1021, and a defoaming assembly 6 is provided inside the rotating drum 2.

[0052] The rotating drum 2 has a third cleaning chamber 201 for containing fish glue, and an air injection section 7 for blowing air into the third cleaning chamber 201 is provided at the bottom of the rotating drum 2. The cleaning assembly 4 includes a first branch 401 and a second branch 402, and a high-pressure water pump 8 is also provided on the second branch 402. One end of the first branch 401 is connected to an external water source, and the other end is located above the third cleaning chamber 201. One end of the second branch 402 is connected to the first cleaning chamber 1011, and the other end is connected to a three-way valve 9. The other two ports of the three-way valve 9 are respectively connected to the external water source and the outlet of the second cleaning chamber 1021.

[0053] In this embodiment of the fish maw cleaning equipment, the fish maw to be cleaned is placed in a certain quantity inside the rotating drum 2. During the cleaning process, the first cleaning chamber 1011 and the second cleaning chamber 1021 are filled with cleaning water through the first branch 401 connected to an external water source. Gas is injected from the bottom of the rotating drum 2, blowing the fish maw up. At this time, the three-way valve 9 connects the outlet of the second cleaning chamber 1021 and closes the connection with the external water source. A high-pressure water pump 8 forms a circulating water flow, which rinses the fish maw laterally. The combined effect of the lateral water flow and the vertically rising air bubbles increases the cleaning effect of the fish maw. In addition, as the cleaning water flows from the second cleaning chamber 1021 to the first cleaning chamber 1011, more impurities and floating matter are carried away into the first cleaning chamber 1011, improving the cleanliness of the cleaning water in the second cleaning chamber 1021 and ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0054] Based on the above overall introduction, this embodiment presents an exemplary structure of a fish maw cleaning device. This cleaning device is used to clean fish maw made from different types of fish, such as golden croaker maw, South Asian red snapper maw, cod maw, and yellow croaker maw. The cleaning process can be adjusted according to the shape, size, and texture of different fish maws, which will not be elaborated further here. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the body 1 is integrally formed into a rectangular strip shape. Preferably, the body 1 includes a first cabinet 101 and a second cabinet 102, a first cleaning chamber 1011 is formed on the first cabinet 101, and a second cleaning chamber 1021 is formed on the second cabinet 102.

[0055] The first cabinet 101 has a rectangular structure and an installation groove is connected inside it. The first cleaning chamber 1011 is formed within the installation groove. Electrical control components and equipment buttons are also installed on the first cabinet 101. For details, please refer to the existing technology for the setting of control components and equipment buttons, which will not be elaborated here. Among them, the air injection section 7 is an air injection cylinder connected to the bottom wall of the rotating drum 2. The air injection cylinder is connected to an external air pump through a hose and is used to blow gas from top to bottom.

[0056] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rotating drum 2 includes a main body 202, an extension 203 located on the upper part of the main body 202, and two high-pressure spray sections 10 located on the inner wall of the main body 202. A plurality of through holes 2021 are formed on the main body 202, and the through holes 2021 connect the second cleaning chamber 1021 and the third cleaning chamber 201.

[0057] Furthermore, the defoaming assembly 6 includes a screw 601 arranged along the length of the rotating drum 2, a scraper 602 sleeved on the screw 601, and a first drive unit 603 for driving the scraper 602 to move along the screw 601. The scraper 602 abuts against two opposite sides of the extension 203, and the first drive unit 603 is connected to the extension 203. The first drive unit 603 is a servo motor.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the scraper 602 includes a flat plate 6021 sleeved on the screw 601, and a first horizontal plate 6022 and a second horizontal plate 6023 connected to both ends of the flat plate 6021. The flat plate 6021 is located in the middle of the first horizontal plate 6022 and the second horizontal plate 6023, and the first horizontal plate 6022 and the second horizontal plate 6023 respectively abut against the two sides of the extension 203. This arrangement causes the scraper 602 to form two outwardly opening concave grooves. When the scraper 602 abuts against one side of the rotating drum 2, the foam is surrounded by the scraper 602 within the concave grooves. The foam is gradually reduced by injecting clean water downward through the first branch 401, thereby reducing the foam formed at the opening end of the rotating drum 2, preventing the foam from sticking to the cleaned fish glue, and improving the cleaning effect.

[0059] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a second drive unit 301 pivotally connected to the body 1, and a pivotally connected rotating shaft 302 on the second cabinet 102. The rotating shaft 302 extends along the length of the second cabinet 102, and a mounting seat is provided on the side of the rotating cylinder 2 near the rotating shaft 302, with the mounting seat sleeved on the rotating shaft 302. The second drive unit 301 drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate, and the end of the rotating cylinder 2 away from the mounting seat rotates upward and partially disengages from the second cleaning chamber 1021.

[0060] The second drive unit 301 adopts a telescopic cylinder, and a connecting arm 303 is provided between the second drive unit 301 and the rotating shaft 302. The rotation angle of the rotating drum 2 is adjusted by the telescopic stroke, so that the cleaned fish glue is separated from the cleaning water and cleaned again from top to bottom by the clean water in the first branch 401, thereby improving the cleaning effect and realizing fully automatic cleaning. The cleaned water flows into the second cleaning chamber 1021 and can be used to clean the next batch of materials again, without wasting water.

[0061] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, a third branch 403 is connected to the second branch 402. A high-pressure spray section 10 is provided inside the third cleaning chamber 201. A branch pipe 404 is connected to the outside of the rotating drum 2, connecting the high-pressure spray section 10 and the third branch 403. When the rotating drum 2 rotates, the high-pressure spray exits the second cleaning chamber 1021. The high-pressure spray section 10 is a high-pressure nozzle. By setting the third branch 403 and several high-pressure spray sections 10, the second branch 402 is rinsed laterally and the third branch 403 is rinsed longitudinally during spraying, further improving the spraying intensity and the cleaning effect of the water flow on the fish maw.

[0062] Furthermore, after the rotating drum 2 rotates until the fish glue is removed from the cleaning water, the second branch 402 can be connected to an external water source to access clean water. The fish floats are then cleaned again by the high-pressure spray section 10, working together with the first branch 401 to further enhance the cleaning effect of the fish glue.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, channel 5 is formed as a rectangular hole between the first cabinet 101 and the second cabinet 102. A guide plate 11 is provided in the first cleaning chamber 1011, which is connected to the bottom of the rectangular hole and is inclined downward. By setting the guide plate 11, the water flow is guided to the bottom of the first cleaning chamber 1011, avoiding water flow impact and protecting the production environment.

[0064] Furthermore, the first cabinet 101 is also equipped with a box 12 protruding to one side. The first cabinet 101 has sieve holes 13 formed on it, and a water pipe 14 is provided at the lower end of the box 12. The water pipe 14 is used to collect leaked cleaning water, and a screen is provided at the outlet end of the first cabinet 101. Through the above arrangement, excess water during the cleaning process is collected, facilitating the formation of recycled water. The screen is formed into a rectangular frame structure. Due to the action of the high-pressure pump, the water flow is always from the second cleaning chamber 1021 to the first cleaning chamber 1011, and impurities are always inside the screen. After the equipment has been running for a period of time, the impurities collected inside the screen can be cleaned, facilitating the formation of clean cleaning water.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
