[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A water-retaining agent soaking device includes: a frame, a soaking tank, a collection tank, a baffle, a drive mechanism, and an aeration assembly. The soaking tank is fixed on the frame, with an inlet pipe at the upper end and an outlet at the bottom. The baffle is slidably mounted on the frame and driven at its rear end by the drive mechanism. The baffle is located below the outlet. The collection tank is located below the outlet. The aeration assembly includes a support, an air outlet pipe, a pipeline, and an air pump. The air outlet pipe is fixed to the lower end of the support and located inside the soaking tank. Air holes are distributed on the air outlet pipe. The upper end of the pipeline is connected to the air pump, and the lower end of the pipeline is connected to the upper end of the air outlet pipe. The pipeline is located inside the support.

[0007] In a further improvement, a primary filter box is provided on the left side of the soaking tank, and a filter plate is provided on the left side wall of the soaking tank.

[0017] The following describes the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-3 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] A water-retaining agent soaking device includes: a frame 1, a soaking tank 2, a collection tank 3, a baffle 4, a drive mechanism 5, and an aeration assembly 6. The soaking tank 2 is fixed on the frame 1. The upper end of the soaking tank 2 is provided with a feed pipe 21, and the bottom of the soaking tank 2 is provided with a discharge port 22. The baffle 4 is slidably disposed on the frame 1 and driven at its rear end by the drive mechanism 5. The baffle 4 is located at the lower end of the discharge port 22. The collection tank 3 is located below the discharge port 22. The aeration assembly 6 includes a support 61, an air outlet pipe 62, a pipeline 63, and an air pump 64. The air outlet pipe 62 is fixed to the lower end of the support 61 and is located inside the soaking tank 2. The air outlet pipe 62 has air holes 621 distributed on it. The upper end of the pipeline 63 is connected to the air pump 64, and the lower end of the pipeline 63 is connected to the upper end of the air outlet pipe 62. The pipeline 63 is disposed inside the support 61.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the air pump is working, air enters the air outlet pipe through the pipeline and escapes in the form of bubbles through the air holes. The bubbles generate a stirring effect during their ascent, propelling the water-retaining agent solution to form a circulating water flow. This water flow movement causes the aquatic products to float slightly in the solution, while simultaneously ensuring thorough mixing of the water-retaining agent and water, achieving a uniform soaking effect. Compared to traditional stirring rods, bubble agitation is a non-contact mixing method, avoiding direct contact between mechanical parts and aquatic products, and eliminating damage to fins, scales, and other surface tissues caused by the rotation of the stirring rod.

[0021] The baffle is controlled to slide by a drive mechanism, which can block or open the discharge port at the bottom of the soaking tank to achieve discharge control.

[0022] As a further preferred embodiment, a primary filter box 7 is provided on the left side of the soaking tank 2, and a filter plate 23 is provided on the left side wall of the soaking tank 2. The lower end of the primary filter box 7 is connected to a filter pool 73 through a pipe 71. A solenoid valve 712 and a water pump 711 are provided on the pipe 71. A fixing block 731 is provided on the upper side inside the filter pool 73. A filter screen 732 is provided on the upper end of the fixing block 731. The filter pool 73 is connected to a storage tank 75 through a pipe 74. A water pump 741 is provided on the pipe 74. The storage tank 75 is connected to the left end of the soaking tank 2 through a pipe 76. A water pump 761 is provided on the pipe 76.

[0023] A filter plate is installed on the left side of the soaking tank. Large impurities in the solution (such as seafood debris) are intercepted by the filter plate, and the solution flows into the primary filter tank. The primary filter tank is connected to the filtration tank via pipe one. A water pump and a solenoid valve on the pipe control the solution flow rate. The filter screen in the filtration tank further filters impurities, and the cleaned solution is stored in the storage tank via pipe two. The storage tank is connected to the soaking tank via pipe three, and water pump three pumps the solution from the storage tank back to the soaking tank, forming a circulation.

[0024] The solution is recycled, reducing the waste of water-retaining agents and water resources, lowering the cost of a single soaking, and multi-stage filtration avoids the accumulation of impurities, reduces solution pollution, and extends the service life of water-retaining agents.

[0025] As a further preferred embodiment, the left sidewall of the soaking tank 2 is provided with a left slide rail 24 for the baffle 4 to slide. The left slide rail 24 is located at the lower end of the filter plate 23. The rear end of the right sidewall of the soaking tank 2 is provided with a fixing plate 25, and a right slide rail 26 for the baffle 4 to slide is provided between the fixing plates 25. The left slide rail is provided on the left side of the soaking tank, and the right slide rail is provided on the right side through the fixing plate. The two ends of the baffle are respectively embedded in the left and right slide rails. The driving mechanism (such as a cylinder or motor) drives the baffle to slide back and forth along the slide rail. When the baffle moves to below the discharge port, it blocks the discharge port; when the baffle slides away, the discharge port opens, and the solution and aquatic products fall into the collection tank. The baffle has low requirements for sealing. Even if a small amount of water flows out from the baffle, it will not affect the effect. The aquatic products themselves also contain moisture, and some water-retaining agent residue on the aquatic products can also prolong the effect.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment, the soaking tank 2 includes an upper end 27 and a lower end 28 connected to the upper end 27. The diameter of the upper end 27 decreases downwards. Three sets of air outlet pipes 62 are provided, with the middle air outlet pipe 62 extending into the lower end 28. The downward-decreasing diameter of the upper end of the soaking tank (conical structure) guides the solution and aquatic products to concentrate at the bottom, reducing solution retention in the upper space and improving space utilization. The bubbles generated by the upper air outlet pipe drive the flow of the upper solution, while the middle air outlet pipe extends deep into the bottom, ensuring that the lower solution and aquatic products are also agitated by the bubbles.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
