Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shellfish processing technology, specifically to a shell-opening structure for shellfish processing. Background Technology
[0002] Scallops, as a nutritious and popular shellfish, occupy an important position in the food processing industry. Opening the shell is a crucial preliminary step in their processing, directly affecting the efficiency of subsequent steps such as meat extraction, cleaning, and processing.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Currently, scallop opening mainly relies on manual methods. Manual opening requires operators to pry open the scallop shells one by one with knives. This is not only labor-intensive but also slow. For processing enterprises with huge demand, this method is difficult to meet the mass production needs. At the same time, the quality of manual opening is greatly affected by the operator's experience, and problems such as shell and meat damage and juice loss are easy to occur, which affect the quality of subsequent processed products.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we will study and improve the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provide a shell-opening structure for shellfish processing, in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shell-opening structure for shellfish processing, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that scallop shell opening mainly relies on manual methods. Manual shell opening requires operators to use knives to pry open the scallop shells one by one, which is not only labor-intensive but also slow.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows: A shell-opening structure for shellfish processing includes a base, a moving mechanism, and a processing mechanism. The moving mechanism includes a conveyor, the bottom end of which is connected to the upper surface of the base. Extension plates are installed on both sides of the conveyor, and a first electric telescopic rod is inserted into the center of one side of each extension plate. A movable seat is fixedly installed at the output end of each of the first electric telescopic rods. A movable seat is slidably installed inside each of the movable seats, and a first guide frame is fixedly installed on the facing surfaces of a pair of movable seats. The processing mechanism includes a first support frame and a second support frame. A first movable plate and a second movable plate are slidably installed inside the second support frame and the first support frame, respectively. A cutter is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first movable plate, and a grinder is embedded at the bottom end of the second movable plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the second support frame is located above the first guide frame, and the inner bottom ends of the second support frame are respectively connected to the outer sides of the pair of extension plates.
[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the second support frame is located above the first guide frame and connected to the extension plate, ensuring that the grinder is directly above the shellfish conveying path, which facilitates the shell opening process of the shells located between the first guide frames.
[0009] Furthermore, the first support frame is located on one side of the second support frame, and the two sides of the inner bottom end of the second support frame are respectively connected to the outer sides of the pair of extension plates.
[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the first support frame is located on one side of the second support frame and connected to the extension plate, which makes it easier for the grinding machine to contact the shell first and grind its upper end to enlarge the opening.
[0011] Furthermore, a second electric telescopic rod is inserted into the upper end of both the first support frame and the second support frame, and the bottom end of a pair of second electric telescopic rods is connected to the top end of the first moving plate and the second moving plate, respectively.
[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the second electric telescopic rod drives the first and second moving plates to move up and down, thereby realizing the control of the opening action of the cutter and the grinding action of the grinder.
[0013] Furthermore, a pair of third electric telescopic rods are inserted on both sides of the extension plate, and a second guide frame is fixedly installed between the output ends of each pair of third electric telescopic rods.
[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the third electric telescopic rod drives the second guide frame to move, which can perform preliminary guidance and alignment before the shellfish enter the first guide frame, ensuring that the shellfish enter the subsequent processing stage in a uniform posture, adapting to the conveying needs of shellfish of different sizes, and reducing processing errors caused by posture deviations.
[0015] Furthermore, a pair of springs are fixedly installed on the inner side of each movable seat, and one end of each pair of springs is fixedly connected to the inner side of a pair of movable seats.
[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the spring in the movable seat provides elastic cushioning for the moving seat. When the cutter presses down to open and close the shell, the two sides of the shell move outward, the moving seat retracts to facilitate the cutter to open the shell, and after the shell is cut open, the spring returns to its original position, so that the shell reassembles and prevents the shell meat inside from falling out.
[0017] Furthermore, an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver are respectively installed on the opposing surfaces of the extension plate at the upper end of the movable seat, with the transmitting end of the infrared transmitter facing the receiving end of the infrared receiver.
[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the infrared transmitter and infrared receiver work together to detect whether the shellfish has reached the processing position. When the shellfish passes by, it blocks the infrared signal, triggers the cutting action and controls the conveyor to transport the shellfish, avoiding empty cutting or missed processing, and improving processing efficiency and accuracy.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The shell-opening structure for shellfish processing has a base that provides stable support for the overall structure, a conveyor in the moving mechanism that enables automatic conveying of shellfish, an extension plate that expands the support range, and a first electric telescopic rod that drives the movable seat and the moving seat to move, allowing the first guide frame to adjust the spacing according to the size of the shellfish. When the cutter opens the shell, it can squeeze the moving seat to retract, thus facilitating the cutter's shell-opening operation. The first and second support frames of the processing mechanism support the cutter and the grinder, respectively. The grinding machine smooths the upper surface of the shell by sliding the first and second moving plates, increasing its opening. The cutter then inserts into the opening to cut the shell. The whole process realizes automated continuous operation of shellfish processing, improving processing efficiency and precision. The spring in the movable seat provides elastic buffer for the moving seat. When the cutter presses down to open and close the shell, the two sides of the shell move outward, and the moving seat retracts to facilitate the cutter's shell-opening process. After the shell is cut, the spring returns to its original position, causing the shell to reassemble and preventing the internal shellfish meat from falling out. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a shell-opening structure for shellfish processing, including a base 1, a moving mechanism 2, and a processing mechanism 3. The moving mechanism 2 includes a conveyor 202, the bottom end of which is connected to the upper end face of the base 1. Extension plates 201 are installed on both sides of the conveyor 202. A first electric telescopic rod 205 is inserted into the center of one side of each extension plate 201. A movable seat 208 is fixedly installed at the output end of each first electric telescopic rod 205. A movable seat 209 is slidably installed inside each movable seat 208. A first guide frame 210 is fixedly installed on the facing surfaces of a pair of movable seats 209. The processing mechanism 3 includes a first support frame 301 and a second support frame 302. A first movable plate 306 and a second movable plate 304 are slidably installed inside the second support frame 302 and the first support frame 301, respectively. A cutter 307 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first movable plate 306, and a grinder 305 is embedded at the bottom end of the second movable plate 304.
[0024] As an embodiment of this utility model, the second support frame 302 is located above the first guide frame 210. The two sides of the inner bottom end of the second support frame 302 are respectively connected to the outer sides of a pair of extension plates 201. The second support frame 302 is located above the first guide frame 210 and connected to the extension plates 201, ensuring that the grinding machine 305 is directly above the shellfish conveying path, which facilitates the shell opening process of the shells located between the first guide frames 210.
[0025] As an embodiment of this utility model, the first support frame 301 is located on one side of the second support frame 302. The two sides of the inner bottom end of the second support frame 302 are respectively connected to the outer side of a pair of extension plates 201. The first support frame 301 is located on one side of the second support frame 302 and connected to the extension plates 201, so that the polishing machine 305 can first contact the shell and polish its upper end to enlarge the opening.
[0026] As an embodiment of this utility model, the upper ends of the first support frame 301 and the second support frame 302 are each provided with a second electric telescopic rod 303. The bottom ends of the pair of second electric telescopic rods 303 are respectively connected to the top ends of the first moving plate 306 and the second moving plate 304. The second electric telescopic rods 303 drive the first moving plate 306 and the second moving plate 304 to move up and down, thereby controlling the opening action of the cutter 307 and the grinding action of the grinder 305.
[0027] As an embodiment of this utility model, a pair of third electric telescopic rods 204 are inserted on both sides of the extension plate 201. A second guide frame 203 is fixedly installed between the output ends of each pair of third electric telescopic rods 204. The third electric telescopic rods 204 drive the second guide frame 203 to move, which can perform preliminary guidance and alignment before the shellfish enter the first guide frame 210, ensuring that the shellfish enter the subsequent processing stage in a uniform posture, adapting to the conveying needs of shellfish of different specifications, and reducing processing errors caused by posture deviation.
[0028] As an embodiment of this utility model, a pair of springs 211 are fixedly installed on the inner side of each movable seat 208. One end of each pair of springs 211 is fixedly connected to the inner side of a pair of movable seats 209. The springs 211 in the movable seat 208 provide elastic buffer for the movable seats 209. When the cutter 307 presses down to open and close the shell, the two sides of the shell move outward, and the movable seats 209 retract to facilitate the cutter 307 to open the shell. After the shell is cut, the springs 211 return to their original position, so that the shell reassembles and prevents the shell meat inside from falling out.
[0029] As an embodiment of this utility model, further, an infrared transmitter 206 and an infrared receiver 207 are respectively installed on the facing surfaces of the extension plate 201 at the upper end of the movable seat 208. The transmitting end of the infrared transmitter 206 faces the receiving end of the infrared receiver 207. The infrared transmitter 206 and the infrared receiver 207 cooperate to detect whether the shellfish has reached the processing position. When the shellfish passes by, it blocks the infrared signal, triggers the action of the cutter 307 and controls the conveyor 202 to transport it, avoiding empty cutting or missed processing, and improving processing efficiency and accuracy.
[0030] Specifically, the working principle of this shell-opening structure for shellfish processing is as follows: During use, the base 1 provides stable support, the conveyor 202 transports the shellfish, and the third electric telescopic rods 204 on both sides of the extension plate 201 drive the second guide frame 203 to adjust the spacing, limiting the bottom ends of the shellfish to prevent them from tilting. As the shellfish moves, the second electric telescopic rods 303 on the first support frame 301 drive the second moving plate 304 to move downwards. The grinder 305 first grinds the upper end of the shellfish to enlarge the opening. The shellfish moves with the conveyor 202 to the first guide frame 210, where the first electric telescopic rods 205 drive... The movable seat 208 and the movable seat 209 move, causing the first guide frame 210 to clamp according to the size of the shellfish, and the spring 211 provides elastic cushioning. When the shellfish passes between the infrared transmitter 206 and the infrared receiver 207, the blocking signal triggers the processing mechanism 3. The second electric telescopic rod 303 on the second support frame 302 drives the first movable plate 306 to move down, and the cutter 307 inserts into the opening to cut the shell. At this time, the movable seat 209 is compressed and contracts. After cutting, the spring 211 returns to its original position to make the shellfish gather together to prevent the shellfish meat from falling out. Finally, the shell opening process is completed and the shellfish is transported to the next stage by the conveyor 202.
