Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sea cucumber processing technology, and in particular relates to a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Sea cucumbers, scientifically known as *Ulva unicinctus*, are marine organisms with high nutritional and economic value. In recent years, with the increasing demand for sea cucumbers, the scale of their harvesting and processing industry has been continuously expanding. However, there are currently many problems in the cleaning and processing of sea cucumbers.

[0003] In current technology, most sea cucumber cleaning and processing still relies on manual operation. During manual cleaning, workers must manually squeeze the sea cucumbers to remove viscera and impurities, which is not only inefficient but also prone to worker fatigue due to prolonged repetitive operations, making it difficult to guarantee consistent cleaning quality. Statistics show that skilled workers can process an average of only 50-80 sea cucumbers per hour, which is insufficient for large-scale sea cucumber processing enterprises to meet market demand.

[0004] Furthermore, the inherent characteristics of sea cucumbers increase the difficulty of cleaning and processing. Their bodies are soft, and their intestines contain a large amount of mud and mucus. During cleaning, it is crucial to ensure thorough removal of the internal organs and mud while preserving the sea cucumber's integrity as much as possible to avoid nutrient loss and damage to its appearance. Similar to sea cucumber intestines, which are difficult to clean due to their high viscosity, the mucus in sea cucumbers also makes traditional cleaning and visceration methods ineffective. Currently, although some cleaning equipment exists for aquatic products, there are few devices specifically designed for cleaning and processing sea cucumbers, and existing equipment struggles to simultaneously meet the requirements of high efficiency, precision, and maintaining the quality of the sea cucumbers.

[0005] In conclusion, existing sea cucumber cleaning and processing methods and equipment can no longer meet the growing industry demand. There is an urgent need to develop a high-efficiency, precise, and automated continuous sea cucumber cleaning and processing device to improve the efficiency and quality of sea cucumber cleaning and processing and promote the development of the sea cucumber processing industry.

[0016] Optionally, two mounting plates are fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the fixed frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the outside of any of the mounting plates, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The rotating rod is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates. A sliding groove is opened through one side of the outer wall of the fixed frame. The ends of the rotating roller and the moving pressure roller near the mounting plate extend out of the sliding groove and are connected to the rotating rod through a transmission mechanism, so that the rotating roller and the moving pressure roller are driven to rotate relative to each other by the motor.

[0017] Optionally, the transmission mechanism includes a fixed bevel gear and a sliding bevel gear. The fixed bevel gear is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer wall of the rotating rod, and the sliding bevel gear is slidably connected to the outside of the rotating rod.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0022] The belt conveyor serves as the transport carrier, enabling continuous transport of sea cucumbers between processes and laying the foundation for efficient operation. Two limiting plates in the limiting assembly compress and limit the sea cucumbers from both sides, adjusting the spacing according to their size to ensure they do not shift during transport. This provides a stable benchmark for subsequent processing, guaranteeing consistent results. The cutting assembly cuts the sea cucumbers while they are precisely positioned, facilitating subsequent cleaning of viscera and sediment. This method is more standardized than manual cutting and reduces unnecessary waste. The extrusion assembly features a rotating roller that connects to the conveyor surface of the belt conveyor, ensuring a smooth transition. The movable pressure roller can move up and down to accommodate sea cucumbers of different sizes. Through compression in conjunction with the rotating roller, it efficiently removes internal impurities, and the relative rotation of both enhances the cleaning effect. This ensures thorough cleaning while minimizing damage to the sea cucumbers, preserving their integrity. The overall structure significantly improves the efficiency of sea cucumber cleaning and processing, meeting the needs of large-scale production. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a sea cucumber cleaning and processing device, including a belt conveyor frame 1. A set of holes are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor frame 1.

[0036] A top frame 26 is fixedly installed at the top of the belt conveyor frame 1. A second electric push rod 27 is fixedly installed at the top of the top frame 26. The output end of the second electric push rod 27 is fixedly connected to the cutting blade 28 and is used to drive the cutting blade 28 to lift and lower to cut the sea cucumber.

[0037] Two mounting plates 34 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the fixed frame 31. A rotating rod 39 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the two mounting plates 34. Two splines 310 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 39. A sliding bevel gear 312 is slidably arranged on the outer wall of the rotating rod 39 and the two splines 310.

The output end of the motor 35 passes through the outer wall of the mounting plate 34 and is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the rotating rod 39.

[0040] Work process:

[0041] During operation, the sea cucumbers to be cleaned are first placed on the belt conveyor frame 1 and conveyed forward with the conveyor belt. The first electric push rod 22 on the vertical plate 21 in the limiting assembly 2 is activated, which drives the limiting plate 23 to move horizontally. The distance between the two limiting plates 23 is adjusted according to the width of the sea cucumber to limit the sea cucumber and prevent it from deviating during the conveying process. When the sea cucumber is conveyed to the cutting groove 25 of the connecting block 24, the second electric push rod 27 on the top frame 26 drives the cutting blade 28 to descend, cutting both ends of the sea cucumber through the cutting groove 25 for subsequent cleaning of the internal organs. The first electric push rod 22 and the limiting plate 23 on the two vertical plates 21 in the limiting assembly 2 can precisely limit the position of the sea cucumber, ensuring that the cutting blade 28 cuts accurately. The cutting groove 25 is designed so that the cutting width of the sea cucumber is greater than the width between the two limiting plates 23, which allows the cutting blade 28 to completely cut off both ends of the sea cucumber, while avoiding interference between the cutting blade 28 and the limiting plate 23 when it moves downward. The cut sea cucumber continues to be conveyed to the extrusion assembly 3 and first moves to the surface of the rotating roller 32. Then, the third electric push rod 37 at the top of the fixed frame 31 is activated, driving the moving frame 36 to move downward, causing the moving pressure roller 38 to move downward until it contacts the sea cucumber and extrudes it. After the extrusion position adjustment is completed, the motor 35 on the fixed frame 31 starts, driving the rotating rod 39 to rotate. The rotating rod 39 drives the sliding bevel gear 312 to rotate via the spline 310, and the fixed bevel gear 313 also rotates with the rotating rod 39. The sliding bevel gear 312 and the fixed bevel gear 313 mesh with the rotating bevel gear 314 on the rotating roller 32 and the moving pressure roller 38, respectively, thereby driving the rotating roller 32 and the moving pressure roller 38 to rotate in opposite directions. Under the combined action of extrusion and reverse rotation, the viscera and mud inside the sea cucumber are squeezed out, completing the cleaning. The extrusion assembly 3 first adjusts the distance between the moving pressure roller 38 and the rotating roller 32 through the third electric push rod 37 to achieve extrusion, and then the motor 35 drives the two rollers to rotate in opposite directions to enhance the cleaning effect. This can thoroughly remove the viscera and mud while reducing damage to the sea cucumber, ensuring the integrity and quality of the sea cucumber. This device improves the quality and enhances the market value of the product. Compared with the traditional manual cleaning method, the device uses a belt conveyor frame 1 for conveying, and the first electric push rod 22 and the limiting plate 23 on the two vertical plates 21 in the limiting component 2 for limiting. The second electric push rod 27 and the cutting blade 28 complete the cutting. The third electric push rod 37, the moving frame 36, the moving pressure roller 38, the motor 35 and other components in the extrusion component 3 achieve extrusion cleaning. The coordinated operation of each structure realizes automated and continuous operation, which greatly reduces the manual operation time and significantly improves the efficiency of sea cucumber cleaning and processing, and can meet the needs of large-scale production.
