Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seafood processing technology, specifically a salmon fillet cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Salmon are mainly distributed in the waters where the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans meet. They are cold-water, highly migratory fish. Salmon meat is delicious and nutritious, rich in bioactive substances such as EPA and DHA. In the salmon processing process, fresh salmon are first slaughtered, and then the bones, fins, and subcutaneous fat are manually trimmed to make fillets. The fillets are then cleaned to remove mucus, dirt, and residual meat before proceeding to the next step of processing, packaging, and sales.

[0003] The prior art, with publication number CN212087871 U, discloses a cleaning device for deep processing of seafood products, including an ultrasonic cleaner body. A control panel is provided on the outer surface of the front end of the ultrasonic cleaner body, and buttons are provided on the front end of the control panel. Three sets of screening mechanisms are provided on the inner side of the ultrasonic cleaner body. Handles are connected to both ends of the ultrasonic cleaner body. A sewage discharge mechanism is provided below one handle of the ultrasonic cleaner body, and a water inlet pipe is provided above the other handle of the ultrasonic cleaner body.

[0004] While the current seafood deep-processing cleaning device can separate dirt from the surface of seafood using ultrasound, it lacks a rinsing function, causing some dirt to remain on the surface. Repeated water changes during cleaning affect the subsequent cleaning progress of the seafood, resulting in poor cleaning effect. Therefore, a salmon fillet cleaning machine is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a salmon fillet cleaning machine with advantages such as good cleaning effect. It solves the problem that existing seafood deep processing cleaning devices, although able to separate dirt from the surface of seafood through ultrasonic waves, do not have a rinsing function, resulting in some dirt remaining on the surface of the seafood. If the water is changed multiple times, it will affect the subsequent cleaning progress of the seafood and the cleaning effect is poor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a salmon fillet cleaning machine, comprising a cleaning tank, a rinsing tank and a mesh frame, wherein multiple ultrasonic transducers are fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, a connecting plate is fixedly connected between the cleaning tank and the rinsing tank, a rinsing mechanism is provided on the upper side of the rinsing tank, and a lifting mechanism is also provided between the rinsing mechanism and the rinsing tank.

[0007] The rinsing mechanism includes a connecting block installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate, a support frame fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting block, a first hydraulic cylinder fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, a first mounting plate fixedly installed on the output shaft of the first hydraulic cylinder, a water distribution pipe fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first mounting plate, and multiple spray heads fixedly installed at the bottom of the water distribution pipe.

[0008] The lifting mechanism includes a second hydraulic cylinder fixedly installed on the outer wall of the flushing tank. A second mounting plate is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second hydraulic cylinder, and brackets are fixedly connected to both symmetrical ends of the second mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the symmetrical mesh frame, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the cleaning tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a first valve is installed on the lower side wall of the cleaning tank, and a second valve is installed on the lower side wall of the rinsing tank. A drain pipe is installed on the outer side of both the first and second valves.

[0011] Furthermore, the first mounting plate and the water distribution pipe are located above the rinsing tank, and the water inlet end of the water distribution pipe is connected to a flexible hose.

[0012] Furthermore, a first fixing block is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, and a first guide rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first fixing block, penetrating the first mounting plate. The first mounting plate and the outer wall of the first guide rod are slidably engaged. There are two of each of the first fixing blocks and the first guide rod, and they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first hydraulic cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, a second fixing block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the flushing box, and a second guide rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second fixing block, penetrating the second mounting plate. The second mounting plate and the outer wall of the second guide rod are slidably engaged. There are two of each of the second fixing block and the second guide rod, and they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the second hydraulic cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner sides of both the cleaning tank and the rinsing tank are adapted to the wire mesh frame, and the total length of the wire mesh frame and the two trays is greater than the length of the cleaning tank and the length of the rinsing tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a salmon fillet cleaning machine, which has the following features:

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This salmon fillet cleaning machine uses an ultrasonic transducer to release ultrasonic waves to clean the salmon fillets inside the cleaning tank, separating the dirt and impurities on the surface of the fillets. Then, the net frame is placed inside the rinsing tank, and the fillets inside the rinsing tank are rinsed through the set water distribution pipe and spray head. The position of the water distribution pipe is adjusted by the drive of the first hydraulic cylinder, so that the spray head can thoroughly rinse the fillets in the net frame, thereby washing away the dirt and impurities remaining on the surface of the fillets, resulting in a good cleaning effect.

[0018] 2. This salmon fillet cleaning machine uses a second hydraulic cylinder to move the second mounting plate upwards, which in turn moves the bracket upwards and the pallet upwards, thereby lifting the mesh frame upwards. This prevents the bottom of the mesh frame from contacting the sewage inside the rinsing tank, resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0019] 3. This salmon fillet cleaning machine can be equipped with two mesh frames for backup. The two mesh frames can be placed in the cleaning tank and the rinsing tank respectively. When the mesh frame with salmon fillets in the cleaning tank is transferred to the rinsing tank for rinsing, the cleaning tank can be emptied to place the spare mesh frame for subsequent salmon fillets to be cleaned, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0020] 4. In this salmon fillet cleaning machine, the second hydraulic cylinder drives the bracket to lift the mesh frame upwards, preventing the mesh frame from contacting the sewage inside the rinsing tank, and also facilitating the draining of water from the mesh frame, making it convenient to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The salmon fillet cleaning machine in this embodiment includes a cleaning tank 1, a rinsing tank 2 and a mesh frame 3. Multiple ultrasonic transducers 5 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, and a connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected between the cleaning tank 1 and the rinsing tank 2.

[0029] The upper side wall of the cleaning tank 1 is fixedly equipped with a water inlet pipe 9 for adding water into the cleaning tank 1. The lower side wall of the cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a first valve 10, and the lower side wall of the rinsing tank 2 is equipped with a second valve 11. The outer side of the first valve 10 and the second valve 11 are jointly equipped with a drain pipe 12 for discharging the sewage inside the cleaning tank 1 and the rinsing tank 2.

[0030] It should be noted that trays 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the wire mesh frame 3, and the inner sides of the cleaning tank 1 and the rinsing tank 2 are adapted to the wire mesh frame 3.

[0031] Understandably, in actual use, two net frames 3 can be configured for backup. The two net frames 3 can be placed in the cleaning tank 1 and the rinsing tank 2 respectively. When the net frame 3 with fish fillets on the cleaning tank 1 is transferred to the rinsing tank 2 for rinsing, the cleaning tank 1 can be emptied to place the backup net frame 3 for subsequent fish fillets to be cleaned, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, a rinsing mechanism 7 is provided on the upper side of the rinsing tank 2. The rinsing mechanism 7 includes a connecting block 71 installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate 6. A support frame 72 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting block 71. A first hydraulic cylinder 73 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 72. A first mounting plate 74 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the first hydraulic cylinder 73. A water distribution pipe 75 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first mounting plate 74. The first mounting plate 74 and the water distribution pipe 75 are located above the rinsing tank 2. Multiple spray heads 76 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the water distribution pipe 75.

[0033] The water inlet end of the water distribution pipe 75 is connected to a hose 77, and the other end of the hose 77 can be connected to a water pump for conveying water flow. The combination of the water distribution pipe 75 and the spray head 76 facilitates rinsing of the fish fillets, thereby washing away residual dirt on the surface of the fish fillets and improving the cleaning effect. The specific length of the hose 77 can be determined according to the moving distance of the first mounting plate 74.

[0034] It should be noted that a first fixing block 78 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 72, and a first guide rod 79 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first fixing block 78, penetrating the first mounting plate 74. The first mounting plate 74 and the outer wall of the first guide rod 79 are slidably engaged. There are two of each of the first fixing block 78 and the first guide rod 79, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first hydraulic cylinder 73, playing a guiding role and improving the stability of the structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, a lifting mechanism 8 is also provided between the rinsing mechanism 7 and the rinsing tank 2. The lifting mechanism 8 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 81 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rinsing tank 2. A second mounting plate 82 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second hydraulic cylinder 81. A bracket 83 is fixedly connected to both symmetrical ends of the second mounting plate 82.

[0036] The total length of the wire mesh frame 3 and the two pallets 4 is greater than the length of the cleaning tank 1 and the rinsing tank 2. This means that when the wire mesh frame 3 is placed in the cleaning tank 1 or the rinsing tank 2, part of the pallet 4 will extend beyond the cleaning tank 1 or the rinsing tank 2. When the wire mesh frame 3 is placed in the rinsing tank 2, the pallet 4 can contact the bracket 83. When the second hydraulic cylinder 81 drives the bracket 83 to move upward, it can drive the pallet 4 to move upward, thereby lifting the wire mesh frame 3 upward and preventing the bottom of the wire mesh frame 3 from contacting the sewage inside the rinsing tank 2.

[0037] It should be noted that a second fixing block 84 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the flushing box 2, and a second guide rod 85 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second fixing block 84, which penetrates the second mounting plate 82. The second mounting plate 82 and the outer wall of the second guide rod 85 are slidably engaged. There are two of each of the second fixing block 84 and the second guide rod 85, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the second hydraulic cylinder 81, playing a guiding role and improving the stability of the structure.

[0038] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0039] In use, the net frame 3 containing fish fillets is placed inside the cleaning tank 1. Water is added to the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 9. Ultrasonic waves are released by the ultrasonic transducer 5 to clean the fish fillets inside the cleaning tank 1, separating the dirt and impurities on the surface of the fish fillets. Then, the net frame 3 is placed inside the rinsing tank 2. The fish fillets inside the rinsing tank 2 are rinsed through the water distribution pipe 75 and the spray head 76. The position of the water distribution pipe 75 is adjusted by the drive of the first hydraulic cylinder 73, so that the spray head 76 can thoroughly rinse the fish fillets in the net frame 3, thereby washing away the dirt and impurities remaining on the surface of the fish fillets. The rinsing water and impurities fall into the rinsing tank 2 to form sewage. By activating the second hydraulic cylinder 81, the second mounting plate 82 is moved upward, which in turn moves the bracket 83 upward and the support plate 4 upward, thereby lifting the net frame 3 upward and preventing the bottom of the net frame 3 from contacting the sewage inside the rinsing tank 2, resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0040] In addition, two net frames 3 can be configured for backup. The two net frames 3 can be placed in the cleaning box 1 and the rinsing box 2 respectively. When the net frame 3 with fish fillets on the cleaning box 1 is transferred to the rinsing box 2 for rinsing, the cleaning box 1 can be emptied to place the spare net frame 3 for subsequent fish fillets to be cleaned, thus improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0041] The second hydraulic cylinder 81 drives the bracket 83 to lift the mesh frame 3 upward, thus preventing the mesh frame 3 from contacting the sewage inside the rinsing tank 2, and also making it easier to drain the water inside the mesh frame 3, making it convenient to use.

[0042] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that can achieve its beneficial effects can be implemented. It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated herein is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and is not intended to 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 of this application.
