Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seafood processing technology, and in particular to a seafood processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Some seafood products, especially algae such as kelp and wakame, contain a variety of nutrients. In the processing of algae like wakame, shredding is a crucial step. Currently, most processing involves manual shredding, but this method is labor-intensive, dangerous, and inefficient. To address these issues, alternative processing equipment has emerged. However, due to the length, smoothness, and softness of algae, processing is challenging, and no single machine can perfectly replace manual labor. Most processing equipment uses a planar shredding method, placing the algae on a flat surface and then shredding it to reduce the difficulty of fixing it. However, this method results in poor uniformity, lower product quality, and a lower yield. Utility Model Content

The seafood processing equipment is provided with a loading station and a processing station, which are located on the conveying path of the seafood, and the processing station is located downstream of the loading station. Multiple processing stations are provided, and each processing station is provided with the slicing mechanism and the fixing mechanism.

[0008] In some embodiments, the transmission member includes a conveyor belt disposed on the upper part of the crossbeam, the conveyor belt having an upward-facing support surface for supporting seafood, and the first fixing member being disposed above the support surface.

[0012] A movable seat is movably disposed on one side of the crossbeam perpendicular to the length direction of the crossbeam, and two clamping members for clamping the first pulling member are provided at intervals on the movable seat;

[0013] The second pulling member is movably disposed on the movable seat, and the second pulling member is disposed between the two clamping members;

[0014] When the material pulling mechanism is in operation, the two clamping members clamp the first material pulling member, and the second material pulling member moves closer to the first material pulling member to clamp the seafood between the two.

[0015] In some embodiments, the seafood processing equipment further includes a cutting blade disposed downstream of the processing station, positioned above the crossbeam with its blade facing downwards, and the cutting blade is movable vertically.

[0016] In some embodiments, the seafood processing equipment further includes a cutting blade, which is movably connected to the first fixing member, with the cutting edge facing downwards and the cutting blade being movable up and down relative to the first fixing member.

[0017] In some embodiments, the scriber is provided with a plurality of scribe needles for scribe processing; the processing equipment is provided with a cutting blade, which is movably disposed on the scriber. The cutting blade has a first position and a second position relative to the scriber.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Example 1: A seafood processing device, mainly used for shredding algae-based seafood products, see [link to example]. Figure 1 As shown, the processing equipment includes a crossbeam 1 for suspending seafood and a slicing mechanism for slicing. The slicing mechanism includes a slicing component 21, which is movably disposed below the crossbeam 1. By suspending the seafood, it can naturally unfold, facilitating the slicing process, and maintaining stability under gravity. During the slicing process, the slicing component 21 slices the seafood along its fibers, thus preserving the fibers, improving the uniformity and integrity of the slices, and maintaining and enhancing the seafood's texture. Because the surface of seafood is smooth, it is difficult to fix, increasing the difficulty of slicing. Suspending the seafood on the crossbeam 1 improves its stability during the slicing process.

[0037] In this embodiment, the processing equipment also includes a fixing mechanism 4, see [link to documentation]. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the fixing mechanism 4 includes a first fixing member 41 and two second fixing members 42. The first fixing member 41 is located above the crossbeam 1 and is movable vertically. The two second fixing members 42 are arranged on opposite sides of the crossbeam 1 along its width, and can be positioned away from or close to the crossbeam 1. When seafood is suspended on the crossbeam 1, to further improve the stability of the seafood and prevent it from moving during the slicing process, the fixing mechanism 4 is used to fix the seafood relative to the crossbeam 1. Specifically, the first fixing member 41 can move downward and cooperate with the crossbeam 1 to clamp it vertically, while the two second fixing members 42 can move closer to the crossbeam 1 to clamp and fix the seafood located on both sides of the crossbeam 1. This achieves three-point fixation of the seafood, and the directions of the forces applied at the three points of fixation are different. Only when all three fixations fail can the seafood slip off the crossbeam 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the slicing component 21 is equipped with multiple slicing needles 22. The slicing component 21 is configured to move up and down, and can be positioned perpendicular to the length direction of the crossbeam 1, either relatively far from or relatively close to the crossbeam 1. In this embodiment, the slicing component 21 can be positioned parallel to the width direction of the crossbeam 1. Specifically, the crossbeam 1 extends horizontally, and the slicing component 21 can move both up and down and horizontally perpendicular to the crossbeam 1. After the seafood is suspended above the crossbeam 1, the slicing component 21 is used to pierce the seafood located in the working space, and then the slicing component 21 is driven downward to perform the slicing process.

[0039] In this embodiment, the scribing needles 22 are arranged at specific intervals to control the width of the processed seafood shreds. Specifically, in this embodiment, see... Figure 5As shown, the slicing needles 22 (not fully shown in the figure) comprise multiple rows spaced apart in the vertical direction, with each row of needles 22 arranged at a preset interval. To facilitate the piercing of seafood by the slicing needles 22, in this embodiment, the slicing mechanism also includes a grid 3. The grid 3 includes multiple spacers 31 spaced apart in the vertical direction, with gaps formed between adjacent spacers 31. The grid 3 can be positioned relatively away from or relatively close to the slicing members 21. The slicing mechanism has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the slicing members 21 and the grid 3 are close to each other, and the slicing needles 22 are inserted into the gaps between the spacers 31. In the second state, the grid 3 is moved away from the slicing members 21, and the slicing needles 22 exit the gaps. By setting the grid 3, as the slicing needles 22 approach the seafood, the grid 3 can hold the seafood against one side, thus facilitating the piercing of the seafood by the slicing needles 22. The existence of the gaps does not prevent the slicing needles 22 from continuing to move relative to the grid 3, thereby allowing the slicing needles 22 to pierce the seafood. After the slicing needle 22 pierces the seafood, the grid 3 moves away from the slicing component 21 to avoid it, and the slicing component 21 can then move downwards to slice the seafood.

[0040] In this embodiment, the grid 3, in addition to assisting the slicing needle 22 in piercing the seafood, also serves a separating function. Specifically, the separator 31 extends parallel to the crossbeam 1. In the first state, the grid 3 is located below the crossbeam 1, dividing the working space into two parts located on both sides of the crossbeam 1 along its width. The slicing device in this embodiment mainly processes wakame seaweed. When the wakame seaweed is suspended on the crossbeam 1, the head of the wakame seaweed is located on one side of the crossbeam 1, and the tip of the wakame seaweed is located on the other side of the crossbeam 1. Since the head is thicker, it requires more processing times, while the tip is thinner and requires fewer processing times. If the head and tip are processed simultaneously, there may be insufficient processing times for the head or excessive processing times for the tip, making it difficult to guarantee the slicing quality. Therefore, the automated seafood processing device in this embodiment processes the head and tip separately. To ensure the effect of separate processing, the grid 3 is used to separate the working space, so that the head and tip of the wakame seaweed are located on both sides of the grid 3. Simultaneously, during the transition of the scribing mechanism from the first state to the second state, the grille 3 will also drive the seaweed on the side away from the scribing member 21 further away from the scribing needle 22. The aforementioned "width direction" refers to the horizontal extension direction perpendicular to the length of the crossbeam 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the processing equipment is provided with a slicing element 21 on each side of the grid 3, and the two slicing elements 21 respectively slice the seafood suspended on both sides of the crossbeam 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the slicing component 21 performs slicing, it first processes a certain length of the lower section of the suspended seafood, and then gradually increases the processing length upwards. Alternatively, it processes the upper section after processing the lower section. Whether using segmented processing or gradually increasing the processing length from bottom to top, compared to processing a long distance at once, this reduces processing difficulty and improves processing quality. Furthermore, both methods process from bottom to top, maintaining operational stability and preventing breakage of the seafood.

[0043] In this embodiment, the dicing mechanism includes a support frame 23 extending in the vertical direction, and the dicing element 21 is mounted on the support frame 23 in a way that allows it to move vertically. See also Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 23 has two slicing elements 21 spaced apart in the vertical direction. The slicing needles 22 of the two slicing elements 21 are arranged at different intervals to achieve graded processing. Specifically, during equipment operation, the slicing element 21 with a larger slicing needle spacing 22 first processes the seafood, and then the slicing element 21 with a smaller slicing needle spacing fines the seafood. This graded processing method can prevent seafood from breaking during the slicing process.

[0044] In this embodiment, the dicing component 21 includes a lifting seat 24, a mounting seat 25, and a base 26, wherein, see... Figure 5 As shown, the lifting seat 24 is mounted on the support frame 23 and can move up and down. The mounting seat 25 is movably mounted on the lifting seat 24, and the base 26 is fixed on the mounting seat 25. The scribing needle 22 is fixed to the base 26. Specifically, the mounting seat 25 is horizontally movable along the length direction perpendicular to the crossbeam 1. By driving the lifting seat 24 to move up and down, the scribing needle 22 can be driven to move up and down. By driving the mounting seat 25 to move relative to the lifting seat 24, the scribing needle 22 can be brought closer to the seafood.

[0045] In this embodiment, the dicing component 21 further includes a cleaning plate 27, which is disposed on the side of the base 26 near the crossbeam 1 and is movably mounted on the mounting base 25. Specifically, the cleaning plate 27 is movable relative to the base 26 along the axial direction of the dicing needle 22. See also Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning plate 27 has multiple perforations, which correspond to the positions of the scrubbing needles 22 on the base 26, and the scrubbing needles 22 are inserted into the perforations. The cleaning plate 27 is used to clean seafood wrapped around the scrubbing needles 22. By driving the cleaning plate 27 to move relative to the base 26, the seafood wrapped around the scrubbing needles 22 can be peeled off by the cleaning plate 27 facing the side of the seafood.

[0046] In this embodiment, the processing equipment includes a conveyor for driving seafood to move relative to the crossbeam 1 along its length. The processing equipment has a loading station and a processing station, which are located on the conveying path of the seafood, with the processing station downstream of the loading station. A slicing mechanism and a fixing mechanism 4 are located at the processing station. The seafood is hung on the crossbeam 1 at the loading station, and then automatically conveyed to the processing station by the conveyor. After the conveyor has conveyed the seafood to the processing station, the fixing mechanism 4 fixes the seafood. Then, the slicing mechanism processes the seafood. This arrangement allows for continuous feeding of the slicing mechanism, shortening its working interval and enabling continuous operation, thereby improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, this arrangement allows the seafood to be directly conveyed to another process after completing one step, reducing intermediate handling operations and improving efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, multiple processing stations are provided, each equipped with a scribing mechanism and a fixing mechanism 4. Specifically, the multiple processing stations are distributed along the length of the crossbeam 1. By providing multiple processing stations, the scribing mechanisms at multiple processing stations can process simultaneously, improving the processing efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, the scribing mechanisms at different processing stations can perform the same processing, or they can perform different processing on the seafood at different processing stations. For example, in multiple scribing mechanisms arranged along the conveying direction, the spacing of the scribing needles 22 on the scribing component 21 gradually decreases, thus completing the progressively finer scribing process as the seafood is continuously conveyed forward. See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, two scribing mechanisms are arranged along the conveying direction. The scribing mechanism located downstream has a smaller spacing between the scribing needles 22 on its scribing component 21 compared to the upstream scribing mechanism. For example, scribing mechanisms at different processing stations scribble seafood distributed on different sides of the crossbeam 1. This arrangement of different processing at different stations not only achieves complete scribing of the seafood but also reduces the processing time of seafood at a single processing station, increasing production cycle time and thus improving efficiency.

[0048] In this embodiment, the conveying component includes a conveyor belt 11 disposed on the upper part of the crossbeam 1. The conveyor belt 11 has an upward-facing support surface 12 for supporting seafood, and a first fixing member 41 is disposed above the support surface 12. At the loading station, the seafood is placed on the support surface 12, with the head and tail of the seafood suspended on both sides of the crossbeam 1. As the conveyor belt 11 conveys forward, the seafood moves along the crossbeam 1. When the conveyor belt 11 conveys the seafood to the processing station, the first fixing member 41 moves downward and clamps and fixes the seafood between the support surface 12 and the first fixing member 41, and two second fixing members 42 form clamps on both sides. The conveyor belt 11 circulates and enables the seafood to be continuously conveyed along the crossbeam 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 11 is equipped with partition columns 13, arranged in pairs. Two partition columns 13 within the same pair are spaced apart along the length of the conveyor belt 11, forming a storage space for placing seafood. In this embodiment, each pair of partition columns 13 is also spaced apart along the length of the conveyor belt 11, ensuring that the storage spaces are distributed at intervals along the length of the conveyor belt 11. This arrangement avoids mutual interference during processing, guaranteeing processing quality. Furthermore, controlling the spacing allows for the equal-interval feeding of seafood, resulting in a stable production cycle and simplifying the equipment's control system.

[0050] Preferably, the length of the first fixing member 41 is slightly less than the distance between the two partition posts 13 in the same group, and the first fixing member 41 is inserted into the accommodating space when clamping the seafood. The second fixing member 42 is located on the side of the crossbeam 1, and the length of the second fixing member 42 can be greater than the distance between the two partition posts 13 in the same group.

[0051] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 1 has smaller dimensions in both width and height to reduce the length of seafood that cannot be sliced ​​by the slicing component 21 due to being placed above or on either side of the crossbeam 1. In this embodiment, the lower part of the grille 3 has a ramp extending downwards towards the slicing mechanism to collect waste materials that fall during the slicing process.

[0052] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that in this example, the processing equipment includes a pulling mechanism 5 for pulling seafood products. See [link to example]. Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the material pulling mechanism 5 includes a first material pulling member 51, a movable seat 52, clamping members 53, and a second material pulling member 54. The first material pulling member 51 is detachably mounted on one side of the crossbeam 1. The movable seat 52 is movably mounted on one side of the crossbeam 1 perpendicular to its length, and two clamping members 53 are spaced apart on the movable seat 52 for clamping the first material pulling member 51. The second material pulling member 54 is movably mounted on the movable seat 52 and positioned between the two clamping members 53. When the material pulling mechanism is in operation, the two clamping members 53 clamp the first material pulling member 51, and the second material pulling member 54 moves closer to the first material pulling member 51 to hold the seafood between them. Specifically, the movable seat 52 is located on one side of the crossbeam 1 in the width direction, the two clamping members 53 are spaced apart along the length direction of the crossbeam 1, and the second material pulling member 54 can move closer to or away from the first material pulling member 51 perpendicular to the length direction of the crossbeam 1.

[0053] Specifically, when not in operation, the first pulling component 51 is located on one side of the crossbeam 1 and does not affect the transfer of seafood. When pulling is required, the moving seat 52 moves closer to the crossbeam 1, and the two clamping components 53 clamp the two ends of the first pulling component 51, so that the seafood is contained in the space formed by the first pulling component 51, the two clamping components 53 and the second pulling component 54. Then, by driving the second pulling component 54 to move closer to the first pulling component 51, the seafood is clamped. After that, the seafood can be pulled by driving the moving seat 52 to move.

[0054] Preferably, the first pulling member 51 extends along the length of the crossbeam 1. Assuming that the distance between the same set of partition columns 13, i.e. the size of the accommodating space along the length of the crossbeam 1, is X, and the interval between two adjacent accommodating spaces is S, the length of the first pulling member 51 and the interval between the two clamping members 53 are greater than X, and the length of the first pulling member 51 is less than (X+2S), so that the seafood in one accommodating space can be pulled at once, and the interference to the seafood along the length of the accommodating space can be reduced, while not interfering with the seafood in the adjacent accommodating spaces.

[0055] In this embodiment, the side of the crossbeam 1 is provided with a receiving groove (not shown in the figure). When the pulling mechanism 5 is in a non-working state, the first pulling component 51 is received in the receiving groove.

[0056] While suspending the seafood improves its stability, the portion of the seafood resting on the crossbeam 1 cannot be shredded. Discarding this portion directly would be wasteful, and collecting and processing it is complex. To address these issues, in this embodiment, after processing the seafood suspended in the workspace, the pulling mechanism 5 pulls the seafood, moving the portion resting on the crossbeam 1 into the workspace where it can then be shredded. This increases the yield and reduces the scrap rate. Specifically, after processing the seafood suspended in the workspace, the fixing mechanism 4 releases its grip on the seafood, the pulling mechanism 5 pulls the seafood, and after pulling, the fixing mechanism 4 clamps and secures the seafood again.

[0057] In some embodiments, the material pulling mechanism 5 is located at the processing station and works in conjunction with the slicing mechanism to process the seafood in stages. Specifically, after completing one stage of processing, the material pulling mechanism 5 adjusts the seafood so that the seafood placed on the crossbeam 1 enters the working space, and then the slicing mechanism at the processing station continues to perform the next stage of processing.

[0058] In other embodiments, a material-pulling station is provided between the two processing stations. A material-pulling mechanism 5 is located at the material-pulling station. After the seafood undergoes one stage of slicing at the previous processing station, the conveyor transports the seafood to the material-pulling station. The material-pulling mechanism 5 adjusts the position of the seafood, and then the adjusted seafood continues to be conveyed downwards to the other processing station for the next stage of slicing. This arrangement avoids excessive processing time for seafood at a single processing station, thereby accelerating the production cycle and improving equipment processing efficiency. In this embodiment, the processing stations located on both sides of the material-pulling station can perform slicing on seafood on the same side of the crossbeam 1 or on seafood on different sides of the crossbeam 1. Preferably, in this embodiment, a pressing component 50 is provided at the material-pulling station. The pressing component 50 is located above the crossbeam 1 and is movable vertically. The material pulling operation usually needs to be performed multiple times. Therefore, after each material pulling, the pressure piece 50 can be used to press and fix the seafood, which can improve the stability of the material pulling operation and ensure the material pulling effect.

[0059] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that in this example, the wire-cutting mechanism includes a mating component 7, see [link to example]. Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, the mating member 7 can be positioned relatively away from and relatively close to the scrubbing member 21, and the mating member 7 can be moved up and down. The mating member 7 has an abutment surface 71 facing the scrubbing member 21 and a slot 72 for the scrubbing needle 22 to be inserted. The slot 72 extends from the abutment surface 71 away from the scrubbing member. The mating member 7 is used to assist the scrubbing needle 22 in piercing the seafood. Specifically, during the scrubbing process, the seafood is located between the scrubbing member 21 and the mating member 7. The scrubbing member 21 and the mating member 7 move closer to each other. When the abutment surface 71 contacts the seafood, the mating member 7 can provide support to the seafood, preventing further movement of the seafood. With further relative movement between the scrubbing member 21 and the mating member 7, the scrubbing needle 22 can pierce and penetrate the seafood. Similarly, the slot 72 plays a role in avoiding contact. After the scrubbing needle 22 pierces the seafood, the scrubbing needle 22 is inserted into the slot 72.

[0060] In this embodiment, after the slicing needle 22 pierces the seafood and inserts into the slot 72, the seafood can be sliced ​​by driving the mating part 7 and the slicing part 21 to move downward synchronously.

[0061] See Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, one side of the mating component 7 is provided with multiple long strips, which are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The sides of the multiple long strips facing the scribing component 21 together form the aforementioned abutment surface 71. The aforementioned slot 72 is formed between adjacent mating components 7, and the slot 72 is strip-shaped.

[0062] Example 4: The difference between this example and Example 3 is as follows: In this example, not shown in the figure, the scrubbing mechanism has two scrubbing elements 21, which are located on opposite sides of the width of the crossbeam 1. When the two scrubbing elements 21 approach each other, their scrubbing needles 22 are staggered. During the scrubbing process, the two scrubbing elements 21 are driven to approach each other, and their scrubbing needles 22 move towards the seafood in the middle. With the cooperation of the two scrubbing elements 21, the scrubbing needles 22 can pierce the seafood. At this time, the two scrubbing elements 21 are driven to move downward synchronously to achieve the scrubbing process. In some embodiments, after the scrubbing needles 22 of both scrubbing elements 21 have pierced the seafood, the two scrubbing elements 21 move downward separately and perform scrubbing processes separately.

[0063] Example 5: The difference between this example and the previous examples is that the processing equipment in this example is equipped with a cutting blade 61. After the seafood has been shredded, the cutting blade 61 cuts the seafood into segments for subsequent processing. Specifically, the cutting blade 61 can cut the seafood into segments from bottom to top at a preset distance.

[0064] In this embodiment, see Figure 12As shown, the cutting blade 61 is movably mounted on the slicing member 21. The cutting blade 61 has a first position and a second position relative to the slicing member 21. When in the first position, the tip of the slicing needle 22 extends beyond the cutting blade 61. In this state, the slicing needle 22 can perform slicing without interfering with the cutting blade 61. When the cutting blade 61 is in the second position, the cutting edge of the cutting blade 61 extends beyond the tip of the slicing needle 22. In this state, the cutting blade 61 is driven to move closer to the seafood to cut it. The slicing member 21 itself can move up and down to slice the seafood. By mounting the cutting blade 61 on the slicing member 21, the cost of setting up a separate cutting mechanism can be saved. At the same time, the cutting operation can be directly performed at the processing station, eliminating the need for a separate cutting station for cutting seafood, thereby saving equipment space.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the slicing component 21 is equipped with a cutting blade 61, and the grid 3, the mating component 7, or another slicing component 21 is equipped with a pad 63. The pad 63 is used to cooperate with the cutting blade 61 to achieve the cutting operation. Specifically, when it is necessary to cut seafood, the seafood is located between the cutting blade 61 and the pad 63. The cutting blade 61 and the pad 63 move closer to each other until they abut against each other, and the seafood is cut when it is located between the cutting blade 61 and the pad 63.

[0066] Example 6: The difference between this example and Example 5 is that this example includes a cutting blade 62, located above the crossbeam 1, and capable of vertical movement. After the seafood has been sliced, the cutting blade 61 cuts the seafood in the working space into segments, while the cutting blade 62 cuts the seafood placed on the crossbeam 1 into segments. Specifically, the cutting blade 62 is driven downwards to abut against the crossbeam 1 or a transmission component, thereby cutting the seafood.

[0067] In this embodiment, the cutting blade 62 is positioned downstream of the last processing station along the conveying direction of the seafood. After the seafood has been shredded and segmented in the workspace, it is conveyed forward to the area below the cutting blade 62 for final cutting. In some embodiments, the seafood processing equipment includes the fixing mechanism 4 as described in Embodiment 1. The cutting blade 62 is movably mounted on the first fixing member 41. Specifically, the cutting blade 62 is mounted on the first fixing member 41 at the last processing station. By driving the cutting blade 62 to move up and down, the blade edge of the cutting blade 62 can extend downward beyond the bottom of the first fixing member 41. In conjunction with the up-and-down movement of the first fixing member 41, the seafood mounted on the crossbeam 1 can be directly cut at the last processing station, thereby saving equipment space.

[0068] Example 7: The difference between this example and the examples above is that in this example, see... Figure 13 As shown, the conveying process for coastal products has three processing stations. At the two upstream processing stations, the head of the seafood is scored, while at the third downstream processing station, the unscored middle section and the tip of the seafood are scored. A material-pulling station, equipped with a material-pulling mechanism 5, is located between the second and third processing stations along the conveying direction. Specifically, the scoring components 21 at the two upstream processing stations are located on the same side of the crossbeam 1 in the width direction, while the material-pulling mechanism 5 and the scoring component 21 at the third downstream processing station are located on the opposite side of the crossbeam 1 in the width direction.

[0069] In this embodiment, the wire-cutting mechanisms at the two upstream processing stations adopt the structure of Embodiment 1, and the wire-cutting mechanism at the third processing station adopts the structure of Embodiment 3. In this embodiment, the two grids 3 at the two upstream processing stations are arranged to move synchronously. In this embodiment, the material pulling mechanism 5 adopts the structure of Embodiment 2, and a pressure member 50 is provided at the material pulling station.

[0070] In this embodiment, two upstream processing stations are used to grade and scribble the heads of seafood. The scribing needles 22 of the scribing component 21 at the first processing station are spaced further apart, while those at the second processing station are spaced further apart. By setting up two processing stations, the two stations can process simultaneously, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0071] In this embodiment, the wire-cutting component 21 at the third processing station is provided with a cutting blade 61, and a cutting blade 62 is provided downstream of the third processing station.

[0072] In this embodiment, during the forward transport of seafood via conveyor belt 11, the seafood passes through two upstream processing stations sequentially. At these stations, the head of the seafood undergoes preliminary and further finer slicing. The seafood is then transported to the pulling station, where the pulling mechanism 5 adjusts its position. It continues to the downstream third processing station, where the slicing component 21, in conjunction with the mating component 7, slices the unprocessed portions of the seafood. After the slicing process is complete, the seafood in the workspace is directly cut into segments by the cutting blade 61 at the third processing station. The seafood then leaves the third processing station, and a cutting blade cuts off the seafood resting on the crossbeam 1.

[0073] In summary, the seafood processing equipment described in the above embodiment uses a crossbeam 1 for suspension and a fixing mechanism 4 to secure the seafood. The suspension method allows the seafood to resist certain disturbances. The first fixing member 41 and two second fixing members 42 cooperate with the crossbeam 1 to form three points of fixation for the seafood. The directions of the fixing forces applied at these three points are different, and the seafood will only slide off the crossbeam when all three fixations fail. This arrangement not only improves the stability of the seafood fixation but also enables vertical slicing of the seafood. The seafood can naturally expand under gravity, which helps improve the uniformity of the slicing process and thus improves the processing quality.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
