Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber processing machinery and equipment technology, specifically to a rapid separation device for sea cucumber viscera. Background Technology
[0002] Sea cucumbers, as a high-value seafood product, are widely used in food processing, medicine, and health care. Removing the internal organs is an essential and crucial step in sea cucumber processing.
[0003] Currently, the separation of sea cucumber viscera mainly relies on manual operation or simple mechanical assistance. Manual separation methods are inefficient, labor-intensive, and costly, and operators are prone to fatigue from prolonged work, leading to inconsistent separation quality and failing to meet the demands of large-scale production. Existing mechanical separation equipment often uses simple squeezing or cutting methods, which not only easily damage the sea cucumber meat, reducing its quality and commercial value, but also result in high viscera residue rates and incomplete separation. Furthermore, the equipment is difficult to disassemble and clean during use, making it prone to bacterial growth and affecting the hygiene standards of sea cucumber processing.
[0004] In view of this, we propose a rapid separation device for sea cucumber viscera. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a device for rapid separation of sea cucumber viscera.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] A rapid separation device for sea cucumber viscera includes a collection box for collecting sea cucumber viscera. Several U-shaped tubes are installed on the top of the collection box. Each U-shaped tube has a threaded placement component at its end furthest from the collection box. Each placement component includes a placement cylinder for holding sea cucumbers. A cover plate is threaded to the top of the placement cylinder. An insertion tube is fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the top of the cover plate, communicating with the U-shaped tubes. Adjacent U-shaped tubes are connected by a connecting pipe, and both ends of the connecting pipe are fixedly connected to a baffle net. A vacuum pump is installed above the collection box. An air extraction pipe communicating with the inside of one of the connecting pipes is installed on the air inlet of the vacuum pump. A one-way valve is installed at the end of each U-shaped tube near the collection box. By configuring the collection box, U-shaped tubes, placement component, connecting pipe, vacuum pump, and one-way valve, this device utilizes the principle of vacuum negative pressure to achieve rapid separation of sea cucumber viscera. Multiple placement components can process multiple sea cucumbers simultaneously, improving work efficiency; the threaded connection between the U-shaped tube and the placement components facilitates disassembly and cleaning; the connecting pipe and the barrier net prevent internal organs from entering the vacuum pump, ensuring stable equipment operation; the one-way valve prevents the vacuum pump from extracting gas from the collection box.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the U-shaped tube away from the collection box. An extended tube communicating with the U-shaped tube is integrally formed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and a threaded sleeve is integrally formed coaxially at the top of the cover plate. The threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the extended tube. The design of the connecting plate and the extended tube enhances the connection stability between the U-shaped tube and the placement component. The threaded connection facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, and is beneficial for equipment maintenance and cleaning.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a compression plate is provided inside the placement cylinder, and a compression spring is installed between the bottom of the compression plate and the bottom of the placement cylinder. The compression plate and compression spring inside the placement cylinder can apply continuous pressure to the sea cucumber, assisting in the discharge of internal organs in a vacuum environment, which is especially suitable for sea cucumbers that are small in size or have a soft texture.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the outer circumferential wall of the extrusion plate is tightly fitted to the inner annular wall of the placement cylinder, and when the extrusion plate is not subjected to external force, its top is in contact with the bottom of the insertion tube. This increases the stability of the extrusion plate within the placement cylinder.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, four support rods are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the vacuum pump, and the bottom of the support rods is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box. The stable support structure reduces vibration and noise during the operation of the vacuum pump.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a door is hinged to the front outer wall of the collection box, and a door handle is installed on the door. The hinged door and door handle design facilitates cleaning of the internal organs of the collection box, and the filter screen can separate liquid and solid impurities.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the inside of the collection box near the bottom, and a support leg is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the bottom of the collection box. The filter screen further separates the liquid and solid in the internal organs, facilitating subsequent processing.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, a connecting ring is integrally formed coaxially at the bottom of the cover plate, and the outer circumference of the connecting ring is threadedly connected to the inner ring wall of the placement cylinder. The threaded connection between the connecting ring at the bottom of the cover plate and the placement cylinder enhances the sealing performance, prevents vacuum leakage, and improves the efficiency of viscera separation.

By configuring the collection box 1, U-shaped tubes 2, placement component 4, connecting pipe 22, vacuum pump 3, and one-way valve 21, this device utilizes the principle of vacuum negative pressure to achieve rapid separation of sea cucumber viscera. Multiple placement components 4 can process multiple sea cucumbers simultaneously, improving work efficiency; the threaded connection between the U-shaped tube 2 and the placement component 4 facilitates disassembly and cleaning; the connecting pipe 22 and the blocking net prevent internal organs from entering the vacuum pump 3, ensuring stable operation of the equipment; the one-way valve 21 prevents the vacuum pump 3 from extracting gas from the collection box 1.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the U-shaped tube 2 furthest from the collection box 1. The bottom of the connecting plate 20 has an integrally formed lower extension tube 200 communicating with the U-shaped tube 2. A threaded sleeve 410 is integrally formed coaxially on the top of the cover plate 41, and the threaded sleeve 410 is threadedly connected to the lower extension tube 200. The design of the connecting plate 20 and the lower extension tube 200 enhances the connection stability between the U-shaped tube 2 and the placement component 4. The threaded connection facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, and is beneficial for equipment maintenance and cleaning.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the placement cylinder 40 is provided with a compression plate 43 inside, and a compression spring 44 is installed between the bottom of the compression plate 43 and the bottom of the placement cylinder 40. The compression plate 43 and the compression spring 44 inside the placement cylinder 40 can apply continuous pressure to the sea cucumber, assisting in the discharge of internal organs in a vacuum environment, which is especially suitable for sea cucumbers that are small in size or have a soft texture.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the outer circumferential wall of the extrusion plate 43 is tightly fitted to the inner circumferential wall of the placement cylinder 40, and when the extrusion plate 43 is not subjected to external force, its top is in contact with the bottom of the insertion tube 42. This increases the stability of the extrusion plate 43 within the placement cylinder 40.
[0029] In this preferred embodiment, four support rods 30 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the vacuum pump 3, and the bottom of the support rods 30 are fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 1. The stable support structure reduces vibration and noise during the operation of the vacuum pump 3.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a door 10 is hinged to the front outer wall of the collection box 1 via a hinge 11, and a door handle 13 is installed on the door 10. The hinged door 10 and door handle 13 are designed to facilitate cleaning the internal organs of the collection box 1, and the filter screen 14 can separate liquid and solid impurities.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a filter screen 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the collection box 1 near the bottom, and a support leg 12 is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the bottom of the collection box 1. The filter screen 14 further separates the liquid and solid in the internal organs, facilitating subsequent processing.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the cover plate 41 is integrally formed with a connecting ring 411 on the same axis, and the outer circumference of the connecting ring 411 is threadedly connected to the inner ring wall of the placement cylinder 40. The threaded connection between the connecting ring 411 at the bottom of the cover plate 41 and the placement cylinder 40 enhances the sealing performance, prevents vacuum leakage, and improves the efficiency of internal organ separation.
[0033] In use, the sea cucumber viscera rapid separation device of this utility model first removes the placement cylinder 40 from the cover plate 41, then inserts the sea cucumber into the insertion tube 42, and tightens the placement cylinder 40 on the cover plate 41. At this time, the sea cucumber is located inside the placement cylinder 40. After starting the vacuum pump 3, the air extraction pipe 31 extracts air from the connecting pipe 22, creating a negative pressure in the U-shaped tube 2 and the placement component 4. The negative pressure in the placement component 4, combined with the continuous squeezing of the extrusion plate 43 under the action of the spring, forces the sea cucumber viscera to enter the U-shaped tube 2 through the insertion tube 42, and then discharges into the collection box 1 through the one-way valve 21. The filter screen 14 in the collection box 1 separates solid viscera from liquid, and the blocking screens at both ends of the connecting pipe 22 prevent fragments from entering the vacuum pump 3. After separation, the vacuum pump 3 is turned off, and the placement cylinder 40 is removed from the cover plate 41, thus obtaining the viscera-free sea cucumber. At the same time, this device, through the synergy of multiple components, enables the simultaneous processing of multiple sea cucumbers, and has advantages such as high separation efficiency, easy maintenance, and wide applicability, making it suitable for large-scale sea cucumber processing.
