Abstract

Use: in the equipment for the primary processing of artificially grown sea mollusks with their single separation to increase the productivity of the device. The proposed device comprises a vertically mounted container formed by two truncated cones, inside each of which a drive brush is located. Moreover, the cones are set so that their side walls adjoin along an arc formed when their surfaces intersect. The lower point of contact between the walls of the cones is located from the upper edge of the container at a distance of no more than half its height. 2 Il.

Description

Yo

The invention relates to the fishing industry, in particular to equipment for the primary processing of marine mollusks, such as mussels, grown on collectors.

The purpose of the invention is to improve the performance of the device.

The goal is achieved by the fact that the device for single division of mollusks, containing a vertically mounted container formed by a truncated cone, facing the smaller base downwards, and a drive brush located inside it, is additionally equipped with a truncated cone with a brush located in it, which is similar to the main one. The cones are set so that their side walls are in contact along an arc formed when they intersect their surfaces, while the lower point of contact of the walls of the cones is located from

the upper edge of the container is no more than half its height.

FIG. 1 shows the scheme of the proposed device; in fig. 2 - the device, top view.

The device consists of a vertical tank formed by truncated cones 1 and 2, which are mounted with smaller bases 3 and 4 downwards.

In each of the cones 1 and 2, cylindrical brushes 5 and 6 with flexible bristles are arranged concentrically and are rotated. The inner surfaces of the cones are made of elastic material, such as rubber.

The cones 1 and 2 are mounted so that their side walls are in contact along an arc formed when they intersect their surfaces, which, in turn, are connected so that they form one common large base 7. When crossing the surfaces

the cones, the lower point of contact between their walls, is located from the upper large base 7 of the container, at a distance of not more than half its height A (Fig. 1).

Due to this connection, the additional truncated and main cones of the capacity of the tank (Fig. 1) of the tank, located between the two brushes 5 and 6, increase, so that the large mollusks freely pass to these brushes to separate them.

If the distance from the upper edge of the container to the lower point of intersection of the surfaces of the cones is more than half the height of the container, the loading zone B - the distance between the brushes - will decrease, which leads to a decrease in the performance of the device.

Separately separated mollusks exit the device through smaller bases 3 and 4 cones.

The device works as follows.

By the tray (not shown) the mollusks removed from the collectors are individually or druse fed to the loading part B of the tank located between two brushes 5 and 6 rotating one against the other and located in the center of the cones 1 and 2. When the brushes 5 and 6 rotate their flexible pile, acting from two sides on the drusen of the mollusks, tears apart the connecting byss, then divides them into smaller druses, which, in turn, move towards a narrow

parts of cones 1 and 2 are already separated one by one, and through lower bases 3 and 4 cones 1 and 2 emerge for further processing.

The advantages of the proposed device are in its higher productivity as compared with the known device due to the introduction of an additional cone, which is specifically connected to the similar one, as well as due to the two-sided effect of the separation of mollusks. Tests of the device showed that its capacity is more than 4 tons per hour, while the known, part of the H 7-ILM line for processing mussels, has 1.5 tons per hour.
