Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a shellfish cleaning device.

[Prior art and its problems]

Shellfish such as scallops, clams, and clams are washed and shipped to increase their commercial value.

Conventional cleaning methods include using a sieve in water and using a dehydrator-type washer, but both are inefficient because they are batch-type.

In addition, a device was developed in 1972 to wash shellfish by letting them flow down a rotating cylindrical drum installed at an angle and spraying water from a water sprinkling pipe installed in the rotating cylindrical drum.
Publication No. 8698, Publication No. 104999 of 1982, Publication of Utility Model Application No. 1983-104999, Publication of Utility Model Application No. 1983
This method is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 111684, etc., but it has the disadvantage that a large amount of water is required for cleaning.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a continuous cleaning device that requires only a small amount of cleaning water.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a rotating cage A, which is made up of a truncated pyramid-shaped frame with crosspieces attached at appropriate intervals in the axial direction, and is horizontally pivoted to a water tank B. An inlet is provided on the smaller end face and an outlet is provided on the larger end face, an input chute and a discharge chute are provided on the inlet side and the outlet side, respectively, and an appropriate number of scraping plates are provided on the inner surface of the outlet side of the rotary basket A. In addition, a rotary cage driving device C is also provided.

[Effect]

When the drive device C is started, the rotary basket A rotates, and when shellfish are put into the input chute, they move inside the rotary basket A toward the exit side, are finally scraped up by a scraping board, and are sent to the discharge chute. It is discharged outside the rotating cage.

Moving shellfish are lifted up by the rotation of the rotating cage, then fall into the water and are washed. Also, because the bars are provided in the axial direction and are inclined, they do not stagnate in the middle and move toward the exit. Move along.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, in which A is a rotary basket horizontally pivoted to a water tank B, and C is an electric drive device.

The rotating basket A has a truncated pyramid-shaped frame 1 with crosspieces 2 made of round bars arranged at equal intervals in the axial direction on the inner surface, an inlet 3 on the smaller end face, an outlet 4 on the larger end face, and an outlet. A suitable number of scraping plates 7 are provided on the inner surface of the side.

In the figure, 5 is the input chute, 6 is the discharge chute,
8 is a power switch, and 9 is a rotation speed adjustment knob.

Now, when power switch 8 is turned on, drive device C
starts, and rotating basket A starts rotating.

Then, when shellfish are introduced from input chute 5,
Since the lower part of the rotating basket A is inclined and the crosspiece 2 is provided in the axial direction, the shellfish move to the left in a dancing manner, and when they reach the left end, they are scraped up by the scraping board 7. It falls onto the discharge chute 6 and is discharged to the outside.

Shellfish are moving from the right side of rotating basket A to the left side of tank B.
Sand and other deposits that are washed and removed by the water inside the tank fall from the rotating basket A to the bottom of the tank.

The shellfish are washed in this way, and if they are thrown into the rotary basket A from the feeding chute 5, the washing work can be carried out continuously.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the device of the present invention, shellfish can be washed continuously, and the cleaning work efficiency can be significantly improved.

In addition, in the present device, the rotary basket A makes the shellfish dance in the water in the water tank B, and the water is stirred and moved, so that sufficient cleaning is carried out. When it is raked up and thrown into the air, it has the effect of draining water. In addition, since the shellfish that jump up are caught by the water in tank B, the shellfish do not break during cleaning, and the amount of water required is significantly smaller than that of conventional sprinkler type cleaning equipment, which is an excellent feature. It is.
