Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a shrimp processing vessel, specifically a shrimp body water absorption device for a shrimp processing vessel. [Background Technology]

[0002] Dried shrimp, as an important processed aquatic product, has a large market demand, and traditional processing methods mostly rely on land-based factories. Fishing boats transfer raw shrimp to the shore, and then vehicles transport them to fixed processing plants. In the fixed processing plants, dried shrimp undergoes multiple processes such as grading, cleaning, steaming, and drying on the shrimp processing production line. The advantages are mature technology and large production capacity, but the disadvantages are high transportation costs, a long cycle from fishing to finished product, and serious loss of freshness, which greatly affects the quality of the finished product.

[0003] In recent years, some companies have tried to add simple processing equipment to fishing boats, but due to space and energy constraints, the processing efficiency is low and the process is incomplete (such as only being able to complete steaming or preliminary drying).

[0004] Currently, shrimp processing production lines involve cleaning and steaming the shrimp before directly dehydrating them. Traditional dehydration methods mainly include natural sun-drying, centrifugal dehydration, and hot air drying.

[0005] Natural drying is time-consuming, subject to weather conditions, and inefficient.

[0006] Although centrifugal dehydration is highly efficient, it can easily damage the shrimp and the degree of dryness cannot meet the requirements of the final product.

[0007] Although hot air drying is highly efficient and can achieve the required dryness for the final product, the shrimp have a high moisture content after steaming or boiling. Directly using a dryer for hot air drying results in excessive energy consumption, which is not conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection, and leads to higher finished product costs.

[0008] With the development of automated processing technology, continuous production lines have presented new challenges to the demand for efficient, energy-saving, and low-damage drying and desiccation devices. [Utility Model Content]

[0009] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a shrimp body water absorption device for a shrimp processing boat, which is used to pre-dry the shrimp bodies after steaming and secondary washing, in preparation for the subsequent drying process, greatly reducing the energy consumption of the drying process, and achieving high efficiency and low damage.

[0010] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the technical solution adopted in this utility model embodiment is: a shrimp body water suction device for a shrimp processing boat, comprising a material conveyor belt, a suction fan, multiple suction pipes, a collection pipe, a water collection tank, and an exhaust vent.

[0011] The suction fan is connected to the suction pipe and the collection pipe respectively;

[0012] Multiple suction pipes are arranged horizontally side by side above the material conveyor belt at a set interval, and a suction port is opened at the bottom of each suction pipe.

[0013] The middle section of the collection pipe is equipped with a condensate screen, which divides the collection pipe into two sections: one section connected to the suction fan is the collection section, and the other section is the discharge section.

[0014] The water collection tank is connected to the collection pipe and is located below the condensate net;

[0015] The exhaust vent is connected to the end of the discharge section.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the suction pipe is also provided with a trumpet-shaped air guide plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the number of condensate nets is multiple, each condensate net has a mesh size of 250 mesh, and the diameter of the metal wire is 0.045 mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the number of suction pipes is four, with a diameter of 6-8cm and a spacing of 20-30cm, and the diameter of the suction port is 5-6mm and the spacing is 8-10mm.

[0019] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0020] 1) The suction device of this utility model generates negative pressure through a suction fan, which draws away the air around the shrimp on the material conveyor belt through the suction port of the suction pipe, generating wind force to make the moisture on the material conveyor belt and the shrimp evaporate quickly; then the water is collected by the collection pipe and separated by the condensate net. The water is collected in the water collection tank and discharged to the outside of the ship, while the air is discharged to the outside of the ship through the exhaust port, thereby reducing the moisture content of the material conveyor belt and the shrimp and greatly reducing the energy consumption of the subsequent drying process.

[0021] 2) The shrimp remain relatively stationary with respect to the material conveyor belt, preventing damage. Pre-drying is completed while the material is being conveyed, eliminating the need for a dedicated dwell time and resulting in high efficiency.

[0022] 3) The bottom of the suction pipe is also equipped with a trumpet-shaped air guide plate, which can guide the surrounding air to enter the suction port more smoothly;

[0023] 4) When there are four suction pipes with a diameter of 6-8cm and a spacing of 20-30cm, and the diameter of the suction port is 5-6mm and the spacing is 8-10mm, the moisture content of the material conveyor belt and the shrimp body can be reduced to about 30%. [Attached Image Description]

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a side view of the shrimp water absorption device of this utility model.

[0026] Figure 2 This is a top view schematic diagram of the shrimp body water absorption device of this utility model.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0027] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shrimp body water suction device of the shrimp processing boat of this utility model includes a material conveyor belt 1, a suction fan 2, multiple suction pipes 3, a collection pipe 4, a water collection tank 5, and an exhaust vent 6.

[0029] The suction fan 2 is connected to the suction pipe 3 and the collection pipe 4 respectively;

[0030] Multiple suction pipes 3 are arranged horizontally side by side above the material conveyor belt 1 at a set interval, and a suction port is opened at the bottom of each suction pipe 3.

[0031] The middle section of the collection pipe 4 is provided with a condensate screen 7, which divides the collection pipe 4 into two sections. One section connected to the suction fan 2 is the collection section 41, and the other section is the discharge section 42.

[0032] The water collection tank 5 is connected to the collection pipe 4 and is located below the condensate net 7;

[0033] The exhaust port 6 is connected to the end of the discharge section 42.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom of the suction pipe 3 is also provided with a trumpet-shaped air guide plate 32.

[0035] Furthermore, the number of the condensate nets 7 is multiple, each with a mesh size of 250 mesh and a wire diameter of 0.045 mm, which can effectively balance water collection and anti-clogging properties.

[0036] Furthermore, the number of suction pipes is four, with a diameter of 6-8cm and a spacing of 20-30cm; the diameter of the suction inlet is 5-6mm and the spacing is 8-10mm. This can reduce the moisture content of the material conveyor belt and the shrimp body to about 30%.

[0037] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows:

[0038] 1. The shrimp processing vessel sails to the shrimp fishing area, and the production line can be started after the fishing begins;

[0039] 2. Fresh shrimp are immediately sent to shrimp processing ships after being caught. After being washed in seawater, they are fed into a cooking device by a material conveyor belt and then sent to a freshwater washing device for a second washing. Before being sent to the drying equipment by a material conveyor belt, they are pre-dried by the suction device of this invention.

[0040] 3. During pre-drying, negative pressure is generated by the suction fan 2, which draws away the air around the shrimp on the material conveyor belt through the suction port of the suction pipe 3, generating wind force to quickly evaporate the moisture from the material conveyor belt and the shrimp. The moisture is then collected by the collection pipe 4 and separated into water and air through the condensation net 7. The moisture condenses into water droplets on the condensation net 7 and is collected in the water collection tank 5 and discharged outside the ship. The air is discharged outside the ship through the exhaust port 6, thereby reducing the moisture content of the material conveyor belt 1 and the shrimp. Then, it is sent to the next drying equipment for drying.

[0041] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
