Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment, specifically to a protein separator for aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] Existing protein separators for aquaculture, such as the one disclosed in CN221235280U on June 28, 2024, for treating aquaculture wastewater, have a horizontally positioned discharge port. The separated waste is a viscous, foamy organic concentrate (often referred to as "wet foam" or "dry foam"). These substances are rich in protein and easily dry and clump together, especially when the discharge pipe diameter is small, the ambient temperature is high, or the waste liquid is not discharged in a timely manner. They are prone to clogging the discharge port or connected pipes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a protein separator with smooth discharge. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a protein separator for aquaculture that has smooth discharge and good working stability.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a protein separator for aquaculture, which includes a separator body and a discharge port located at the bottom of the separator body. The discharge port is arranged vertically downward. The bottom of the separator body is also provided with a discharge mechanism that connects to the discharge port. The discharge mechanism includes a driving component, a sleeve, and a spiral rod driven by the driving component to rotate in the sleeve. The upper side of the sleeve is provided with a connecting sleeve that connects to the discharge port. The material discharge mechanism is also provided with a bracket for supporting the sleeve, and the bottom of the bracket is provided with several buffer feet.
[0005] The side wall of the connecting sleeve is provided with a transparent window for observing whether the material discharge is smooth.
[0006] The separator body is provided with an air inlet pipe and a backwash pipe, and valves are provided on both the air inlet pipe and the backwash pipe.
[0007] The driving component is a servo motor, and a coupling connecting the servo motor and the screw rod is provided.
[0008] The sleeve adopts a multi-section detachable structure.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the driving component in this technical solution drives the screw rod to rotate in the sleeve, and the waste material is more likely to come down from the vertical discharge port due to gravity. The waste material enters the connecting sleeve, is carried away by the screw rod below, and is discharged from the end of the sleeve, which has the advantages of smooth discharge and good working stability. Attached Figure Description Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a protein separator for aquaculture according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0010] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the material discharge mechanism. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: As shown in the figure, a protein separator for aquaculture includes a separator body 1 and a discharge port 2 located at the bottom of the separator body 1. The discharge port 2 is vertically downward. The bottom of the separator body 1 is also provided with a discharge mechanism that connects to the discharge port 2. The discharge mechanism includes a driving component 3, a sleeve 5, and a screw rod 4 driven by the driving component 3 to rotate in the sleeve 5. A connecting sleeve 6 that connects to the discharge port 2 is provided on the upper side of the sleeve 5. In this technical solution, the driving component drives the screw rod to rotate in the sleeve. Due to gravity, the waste material is more likely to come down from the vertical discharge port. The waste material enters the connecting sleeve, is carried away by the screw rod below, and is discharged from the end of the sleeve. It has the advantages of smooth discharge and good working stability. The material discharge mechanism is also provided with a bracket 7 for supporting the sleeve 5. The bottom of the bracket 7 is provided with several buffer feet 8. The buffer feet can reduce the vibration and impact on the ground when the drive component is working, and improve the working environment.
[0012] The side wall of the connecting sleeve 6 is provided with a transparent window 9 for observing whether the material discharge is unobstructed. The transparent window can be used by staff to observe whether there is any blockage inside, ensuring unobstructed material discharge.
[0013] The separator body 1 is provided with an air inlet pipe 10 and a backwash pipe 11, and both the air inlet pipe 10 and the backwash pipe 11 are provided with valves 12 for easy operation.
[0014] The driving component 3 is a servo motor, and a coupling 13 is provided between the servo motor and the screw rod 4 to connect the two, which has the advantage of good working stability. In addition, the screw rod is provided with propeller blades in the circumferential direction for pushing the waste material out.
[0015] The sleeve 5 adopts a multi-section detachable structure, which consists of multiple short-sized sleeves connected in sequence, making it convenient for disassembly, maintenance and cleaning. In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
