Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic spray-type eel cleaning and marinating integrated machine, including a device body 1, with a mounting plate 4 rotatably connected to its top. The device body 1 is equipped with a cylinder 23 that drives the mounting plate 4 to rotate. A fixing ring 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 4, and a cleaning cylinder 10 is rotatably connected to the fixing ring 11. A discharge trough 24 is provided through the cleaning cylinder 10. A rotating component 6 that drives the cleaning cylinder 10 to rotate is provided on the mounting plate 4. A spray pipe 12 is fixedly connected inside the cleaning cylinder 10. A water pump 22 is provided inside the device body 1. The drain end of the water pump 22 is connected to the spray pipe 12 through a drain pipe 20. A marinating cylinder 16 is fixedly installed inside the device body 1. A feeding hopper 17 is connected to the marinating cylinder 16 relative to the discharge trough 24. A discharge pipe 3 is connected to the bottom of the marinating cylinder 16.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the washing cylinder 10 is a hollow structure with an opening at one end. The discharge trough 24 is located at the end of the washing cylinder 10 away from its opening. Multiple sieve holes are provided through the washing cylinder 10. Meanwhile, the device body 1 is equipped with a controller 2 that controls the water pump 22, cylinder 23, and rotating assembly 6. The water inlet end of the water pump 22 is connected to a water inlet pipe 19, which is connected to an external water source. Furthermore, the discharge pipe 3 extends downwards at an angle to the outside of the device body 1. Multiple sieve holes are provided through the spray pipe 12 along its length. Each eel has a spray nozzle 25. When cleaning the eel, the eel to be cleaned and marinated is placed into the cleaning cylinder 10. The rotating component 6 on the mounting plate 4 is activated, causing the cleaning cylinder 10 to rotate on the fixed ring 11, making the eel continuously tumble inside the cleaning cylinder 10. The water pump 22 inside the device body 1 is activated via the controller 2. The water pump 22 draws in water and delivers it through the drain pipe 20 to the spray pipe 12 inside the cleaning cylinder 10, where it is sprayed out from the spray nozzles 25, providing a comprehensive spray cleaning of the tumbling eel and removing impurities. The mucus, impurities, and blood on the surface of the fish are removed, and the wastewater generated during the cleaning process is discharged through the sieve holes on the cleaning cylinder 10. After the eels are cleaned, the rotating assembly 6 is stopped, and the cylinder 23 inside the main body 1 is started. The piston rod of the cylinder 23 extends and drives the top mounting plate 4 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting plate 4 causes the discharge chute 24 of the cleaning cylinder 10 to move closer to the feed hopper 17 on the marinating cylinder 16. As the cleaning cylinder 10 continues to rotate, the cleaned eels fall into the feed hopper 17 and then from the feed hopper 17 into the marinating cylinder 16. After the eels enter the marinating cylinder 16, they are marinated inside the cylinder (appropriate amount of marinating seasoning can be added to the cylinder 16 in advance, or seasoning can be added through a special feeding device). After marinating, the discharge pipe 3 connected to the bottom of the marinating cylinder 16 is opened to discharge the marinated eels from the discharge pipe 3 for subsequent packaging or other processing. The overall operation steps are simple, realizing the integrated operation of eel cleaning and marinating, reducing manual intervention and material transfer, improving production efficiency, and improving the cleaning effect of eels.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the telescopic end of cylinder 23 is hinged to mounting plate 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the rotating assembly 6 includes a driven gear 63, which is sleeved and fixedly installed on the cleaning cylinder 10, and a second motor 61, which is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 4. The drive end of the second motor 61 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 62 that meshes with the driven gear 63. Specifically, the controller 2 controls the second motor 61 to start, and its drive end drives the drive gear 62 to rotate. Since the drive gear 62 meshes with the driven gear 63, the driven gear 63 drives the cleaning cylinder 10 to rotate. Furthermore, multiple drainage troughs 9 are provided through the mounting plate 4 to facilitate the timely discharge of sewage generated during the cleaning process, avoid sewage accumulation affecting the cleaning effect, and keep the inside of the equipment clean.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a connecting pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 4. One end of the connecting pipe 5 is connected to the water pump 22 through the drain pipe 20, and the other end is connected to the spray pipe 12 through the rotary joint 13. Specifically, both the connecting pipe 5 and the spray pipe 12 are rigid pipes. The connecting pipe 5 runs through and is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 4. The drain pipe 20 is a flexible hose. The water pump 22 delivers water to the drain pipe 20. The water enters the spray pipe 12 through the connecting pipe 5 and the rotary joint 13 to spray the eels in the cleaning cylinder 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a gyratory roller 8 is rotatably connected inside the marinating cylinder 16. A first motor 18 that drives the gyratory roller 8 to rotate is fixedly installed inside the main body 1 of the device. Specifically, the first motor 18 is signal-connected to the controller 2. When the first motor 18 is started, it drives the gyratory roller 8 rotatably connected inside the marinating cylinder 16 to rotate. When the gyratory roller 8 rotates, it mixes the eel and marinade inside the marinating cylinder 16, promoting uniform marinating of the eel. The setting of the gyratory roller 8 makes the eel roll continuously during the marinating process, fully contacting the marinade, which improves the uniformity and efficiency of marinating.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the marinating cylinder 16 is equipped with a feeding assembly 7, which includes a fixed cylinder 74 fixedly installed on the marinating cylinder 16. The bottom of the fixed cylinder 74 has a discharge port 76 communicating with the marinating cylinder 16, and the top of the fixed cylinder 74 is connected to a funnel 75. A rotating shaft 72 is rotatably disposed inside the fixed cylinder 74. Multiple partitions 73 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 72 along its circumference, and a feeding trough 26 communicating with the discharge port 76 and the funnel 75 is formed between adjacent partitions 73. A grooved wheel intermittent mechanism 71 that drives the rotating shaft 72 to rotate intermittently is fixedly installed on the marinating cylinder 16. Specifically, the marinade is placed into the funnel. 75. The marinade enters the discharge trough 26 formed by the adjacent partitions 73 inside the fixed cylinder 74. The rotating shaft 72 is driven to rotate intermittently by the grooved wheel intermittent mechanism 71. When the discharge trough 26 is connected to the discharge port 76, the marinade falls into the marinating cylinder 16. The discharge assembly 7 can realize the intermittent feeding of the marinade, which makes it easy to control the amount and time of feeding and ensure the stability of the marinating effect. It should be noted that the grooved wheel intermittent mechanism 71 is driven by a motor. The structure and working principle of the grooved wheel intermittent mechanism 71 are existing technologies. Please refer to the publication document with patent announcement number CN206747877U. It will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a guide plate 14 is fixedly installed on the main body 1 of the device. The guide plate 14 is inclined from the washing cylinder 10 to the feeding hopper 17. Two baffles 15 are fixedly connected to the guide plate 14. The distance between the two baffles 15 gradually decreases from the washing cylinder 10 to the feeding hopper 17. Specifically, after the cleaned eels come out of the discharge trough 24 of the washing cylinder 10, they slide into the feeding hopper 17 of the marinating cylinder 16 along the inclined direction of the guide plate 14. The setting of the guide plate 14 facilitates the smooth transfer of eels from the washing cylinder 10 to the marinating cylinder 16, reducing the loss of eels during the transfer process. The setting of the baffles 15 improves the accuracy of eel transfer and further reduces the loss of eels during the transfer process.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the device body 1 is fixedly installed with a collection tank 21 relative to the mounting plate 4. Specifically, during the rotation or cleaning process of the mounting plate 4, sewage or debris may fall, and the collection tank 21 collects these sewage and debris.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] When cleaning the eels, the eels to be cleaned and marinated are placed into the cleaning drum 10. The controller 2 controls the second motor 61 to start, and its drive end drives the drive gear 62 to rotate. Since the drive gear 62 meshes with the driven gear 63, the driven gear 63 drives the cleaning drum 10 to rotate on the fixed ring 11. Then, the controller 2 turns on the water pump 22 in the device body 1. The water pump 22 draws in water and delivers it through the drain pipe 20 to the spray pipe 12 in the cleaning drum 10, and sprays it out from the spray hole 25 of the spray pipe 12 to spray and clean the rolling eels from all directions, removing mucus, impurities and bloodstains from the surface of the eels. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process is discharged through the sieve hole on the cleaning drum 10. When the eels are cleaned, the rotating component 6 is stopped, and the cylinder 23 in the device body 1 is started. The piston rod of the cylinder 23 extends and drives the top mounting plate 4 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting plate 4 causes the discharge trough 24 of the cleaning drum 10 to move closer to the feed hopper 17 on the marinating drum 16. As the washing drum 10 continues to rotate, the washed eels fall into the feeding hopper 17 and then into the marinating drum 16. After the eels enter the marinating drum 16, the marinade is placed into the funnel 75 and enters the discharge trough 26 formed by the adjacent partitions 73 in the fixed drum 74. The rotating shaft 72 is driven to rotate intermittently by the intermittent groove wheel mechanism 71. When the discharge trough 26 is connected to the discharge port 76, the marinade falls into the marinating drum 16. At the same time, the controller 2 controls the first motor 18 to start, driving the marinating drum. The internal rotating auger roller 8 rotates, which mixes the eel and marinade inside the marinating cylinder 16, promoting even marinating. After marinating, the discharge pipe 3 connected to the bottom of the marinating cylinder 16 is opened to discharge the marinated eel from the discharge pipe 3 for subsequent packaging or other processing. The overall operation is simple, realizing the integrated operation of eel cleaning and marinating, reducing manual intervention and material transfer, improving production efficiency, and improving the cleaning effect of eel.
