[0002] Peppers are usually conical or oblong in shape. They are green when immature and turn bright red, green or purple when mature, with red being the most common. Peppers are spicy because the peel contains capsaicin, which can increase appetite. Peppers are usually the main raw material for producing chili sauce and other products. They need to be cleaned before production and processing, and pepper cleaning equipment is required. In order to improve the convenience of subsequent processing, they can be directly dried after cleaning to avoid moisture adhering to the surface.

[0003] However, the existing pepper processing and cleaning device still has certain problems when in use:

[0004] There is a chili cleaning device with Chinese patent application number CN202122806239.6, which relates to the technical field related to chili processing equipment, including a box, a driving mechanism, a drainage plate and a conduit, wherein the driving mechanism is arranged on the outer side of the box, the drainage plate is arranged inside the box, a support frame is welded on the outer surface of the box, a support leg is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the outer bottom of the box near the middle position. The utility model is provided with a filter plate, a driving motor, a drainage plate, a nozzle and a driving mechanism, and the chili is sprayed and cleaned by the coordinated use of the drainage plate and the nozzle, and the chili is driven to move by the driving motor, so that the chili is cleaned more evenly;

[0006] 1. The existing pepper cleaning device is only placed inside the cylinder or box for batch cleaning, but the water quality inside the box will become turbid with the number of cleanings. If a secondary rinse is not performed, the cleanliness of the pepper is poor;

[0007] 2. The existing equipment cannot effectively dry the peppers after washing. If the washed peppers are not processed in time, the moisture attached to their surface will inevitably accelerate the rotting of the peppers and affect subsequent processing. If the peppers rot and cannot be picked out, it will inevitably affect the quality of subsequent pepper processed products.

[0008] In view of the above problems, an innovative design was carried out based on the original pepper processing and cleaning device. Summary of the invention

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a pepper processing and cleaning device, comprising a cleaning tank, a power motor and a conveyor belt:

[0012] A guide pipe is installed at the upper left end of the conveyor belt, and a spray pipe is connected to the lower end of the guide pipe. A heating box is arranged at the upper right end of the conveyor belt, and a heating wire is fixed inside the heating box.

[0013] An infusion mechanism is installed at the upper end of the cleaning pool, and the infusion mechanism includes a sealing tube and a piston. The sealing tube is fixedly connected to the support frame, and the inside of the sealing tube is slidably connected to the piston. A water storage tank is fixed to the upper right end of the support frame, and the water storage tank is used to supply water to the infusion mechanism. The infusion mechanism is connected to the heating box to supply air to the heating structure, providing the flow of hot air to improve the drying effect.

[0014] Preferably, the lower end of the discharge box has an inner wall with a sloped design, and a power motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the discharge box. The transmission shaft is rotatably connected to the discharge box, and the left end of the transmission shaft extends to the outside of the discharge box and is connected to the power motor. The discharge plate is in contact with the inner wall of the discharge box, and the discharge plates are distributed in a circular array with the central axis of the transmission shaft as the axis.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the power motor drives the transmission shaft and multiple groups of unloading plates to rotate synchronously.

[0024] Preferably, an air inlet check valve is connected to the upper right end of the sealing tube, and a filter cover is connected to the outside of the air inlet check valve. An air outlet check valve is connected to the outside of the sealing tube on the right side, and a shunt pipe is connected to the end of the air outlet check valve.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the air inlet check valve and the air outlet check valve, the external air can be continuously sucked into the sealing tube during the continuous movement of the piston, and then the air inside the sealing tube can be transported to the diversion pipe by using the air outlet check valve.

[0029] Preferably, two groups of sealing tubes and pistons are provided, and the two groups of sealing tubes are symmetrically distributed on both sides with the left and right central axes of the cleaning tank as axes, and the two groups of pistons are staggered and distributed inside the two groups of sealing tubes.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, through the design of two sets of sealing tubes and pistons, the two sets of active staggered distribution make it easy for the two sets of pistons to move in opposite directions under the drive of the reciprocating screw, thereby maintaining continuous water supply to the spray structure and continuous flow of air inside the heating box.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the pepper processing and cleaning device, by providing a secondary spray flushing structure, can further utilize a clean water source to flush the peppers after the peppers are cleaned in the cleaning tank and lifted and transported upward, thereby improving the cleanliness of the pepper cleaning, and the water source for the spray flushing can flow back to the cleaning tank for recycling.

[0032] 1. By setting up a quantitative feeding structure, the feeding amount can be effectively controlled to avoid excessive accumulation of peppers in the cleaning tank, which affects the cleaning effect. At the same time, it also avoids the damage of peppers during cleaning due to excessive accumulation, thus ensuring the quality of pepper processing;

[0033] 2. By setting up a piston infusion mechanism, a continuous water supply can be provided to the spray structure during the reciprocating motion of the piston, and flowing air can be provided to the heating structure to improve the temperature uniformity of the lower end of the heating box. The heat of the heating box can follow the air flow to the peppers transported on the conveyor belt to improve the uniformity and efficiency of pepper drying. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
