Abstract

This utility model discloses a preliminary cleaning tank for shrimp before processing, including a shrimp frame for storing shrimp with several drainage holes, and a tank body with a recessed cavity at the top. The bottom of the cavity is V-shaped and gradually narrows. A drainage mechanism has a drain pipe located at the deepest part of the cavity to drain water from the cavity. When the shrimp frame is placed in the cavity, the inner wall of the cavity can shield against splashing water during cleaning, preventing workers from getting wet. Because the bottom of the cavity is V-shaped, when the shrimp frame is placed horizontally at the bottom of the cavity, there is a gap between the bottom of the shrimp frame and the bottom of the cavity, allowing wastewater and impurities to fall directly into the bottom of the cavity without residue, improving cleaning efficiency. The drainage mechanism can promptly drain wastewater from the bottom of the tank, ensuring that wastewater does not submerge the shrimp frame and cause secondary pollution.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and more specifically, to a preliminary cleaning tank for shrimp before processing. Background Technology

[0002] Skewered shrimp typically refers to shrimp that are threaded onto skewers for use in various dishes, especially barbecue dishes. Before processing, live shrimp need to be rinsed to remove dirt, sand, dust, and slime from their surface.

[0003] Currently, live shrimp are typically placed in shrimp baskets on the ground with drainage ditches. During cleaning, the live shrimp inside the baskets are rinsed using a spray system or a handheld hose, and the water flows into the drainage ditch for discharge. Because there is no protective structure, the rinsing water easily splashes, causing workers to get wet. Furthermore, the ground is in contact with the bottom of the shrimp baskets, leading to water and dirt accumulating on both sides, making thorough cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a preliminary cleaning tank for shrimp before processing, which can prevent water from splashing onto the body and also prevent dirt from accumulating at the bottom of the shrimp basket.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A preliminary cleaning tank for processing shrimp includes a shrimp frame for storing shrimp, the shrimp frame having several drainage holes, and further includes: The tank has a recessed cavity at the top; the bottom of the cavity is V-shaped and gradually narrows. A drainage mechanism having a drain pipe located at the deepest part of the cavity for draining water from the cavity to the outside; The shrimp frame containing the shrimp is placed horizontally at the bottom of the cavity.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: When the shrimp basket is placed inside the cavity, the inner wall of the cavity can shield the splashing water during cleaning, preventing workers from getting wet. Because the bottom of the cavity is V-shaped, when the shrimp basket is placed horizontally at the bottom of the cavity, there is a gap between the bottom of the shrimp basket and the bottom of the cavity. Wastewater and impurities will fall directly into the bottom of the cavity without leaving any residue, improving cleaning efficiency. The drainage mechanism can promptly discharge the wastewater at the bottom of the container, ensuring that the wastewater does not submerge the shrimp basket and cause secondary pollution.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cavity is provided with two opposite sidewalls near the bottom, and the bottom ends of the shrimp frame are attached to the two support members.

[0009] In some embodiments, the bottom of the shrimp frame is flat, and the top of the support member is horizontal.

[0010] In some embodiments, the vertical cross-sections of two adjacent sides at the bottom of the cavity are V-shaped, forming the lowest point in the middle of the bottom of the cavity; the drain pipe extends to the lowest point of the cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the drainage mechanism further includes a water pump connected to the drain pipe.

[0012] In some embodiments, both the cavity and the shrimp frame are square structures. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the fit between the trough and the shrimp frame of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the fit between the tank and the drain pipe of this utility model; Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the tank body of this utility model.

[0014] Explanation of the labels in the diagram: 1. Shrimp frame; 11. Drain hole; 2. Tank body; 21. Cavity; 3. Drain pipe; 4. Supporting component. Detailed Implementation

[0015] 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.

[0016] refer to Figure 1-3 A preliminary cleaning tank for shrimp processing includes a shrimp basket 1 for storing shrimp, with several drainage holes 11 on the basket 1, and a tank body 2 and a drainage mechanism. The top of the tank body 2 has a recessed cavity 21; the bottom of the cavity 21 is a gradually narrowing V-shape. The drainage mechanism has a drain pipe 3 located at the deepest part of the cavity 21 to drain water from the cavity 21. The shrimp basket 1 containing shrimp is placed horizontally at the bottom of the cavity 21.

[0017] Understandably, the shrimp frame 1 can be a square or round frame structure, but is not limited to these. The cavity 21 is the component that houses the shrimp frame 1, and can be, for example, square or elliptical in cross-section, but is not limited to these. Here, the V-shaped bottom of the cavity 21 is not limited to a pointed bottom; it can also be an arc-shaped bottom, a flat bottom, etc., as long as it is roughly V-shaped. A through hole can be directly opened at the bottom of the cavity 21, and a drain pipe 3 can be connected to the through hole for automatic drainage. Alternatively, the drain pipe 3 can be placed at the bottom of the cavity 21 and connected to a drive unit for active water pumping, but is not limited to these methods. For cleaning the shrimp, it can be rinsed manually by holding a water hose, or an existing spray mechanism can be installed above the cavity 21 for automatic spray rinsing.

[0018] With this design, the shrimp basket 1 is placed inside the cavity 21. During cleaning, the inner wall of the cavity 21 can shield splashed water, preventing workers from getting wet. Since the bottom of the cavity 21 is V-shaped, when the shrimp basket 1 is placed horizontally at the bottom of the cavity 21, there is a gap between the bottom of the shrimp basket 1 and the bottom of the cavity 21. Wastewater and impurities will fall directly into the bottom of the cavity 21 without leaving any residue, improving cleaning efficiency. The drainage mechanism can promptly discharge the wastewater at the bottom of the container, ensuring that the wastewater does not submerge the shrimp basket 1 and cause secondary pollution.

[0019] Optionally, in some embodiments, the cavity 21 is provided with two opposite sidewalls near the bottom, and the bottom ends of the shrimp frame 1 are attached to the two support members 4.

[0020] Understandably, the support member 4 is a component used to support the shrimp frame 1. For example, it can be a crossbeam, a plate structure with several intervals, etc., but is not limited to this.

[0021] With this configuration, the shrimp basket 1 does not need to be placed on the inclined bottom wall of the cavity 21, preventing the shrimp basket 1 from tipping over. Of course, multiple shrimp baskets 1 can also be placed horizontally on the support member 4.

[0022] Optionally, in some embodiments, the bottom of the shrimp basket 1 is flat, and the top of the support member 4 is horizontal. This arrangement ensures that the bottom of the shrimp basket 1 and the top of the support member 4 are horizontally aligned, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the shrimp basket 1.

[0023] Optionally, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 The vertical cross-sections of the two adjacent sides at the bottom of the cavity 21 are V-shaped, making the lowest point in the middle of the bottom of the cavity 21; the drain pipe 3 extends to the lowest point of the cavity 21.

[0024] It is understandable that the middle part of cavity 21 is not only the center of cavity 21, but can also be the side of cavity 21, similar to a pyramidal structure.

[0025] With this configuration, the water in the cavity 21 can flow to the lowest point at the bottom of the cavity 21, and with the help of the drain pipe 3, all the water in the cavity 21 can be drained out as much as possible.

[0026] Optionally, in some embodiments, the drainage mechanism further includes a water pump connected to the drain pipe 3. Here, the water pump actively pumps water, which can quickly discharge the sewage in the cavity 21, ensuring that the sewage does not submerge the shrimp frame 1. Since the water pump and the cooperation between the water pump and the drain pipe 3 are prior art, they are not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Optionally, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 Both the cavity 21 and the shrimp frame 1 are square structures. In this way, the shrimp frames 1 can be arranged closely inside the cavity 21, saving space and making full use of the flushing water flow.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
