Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning and peeling devices, specifically relating to a cleaning and peeling device for sweet potato food processing. Background Technology

[0002] The washing and peeling device for sweet potato food processing is a specialized piece of equipment that automates the washing and peeling of tuberous ingredients such as sweet potatoes, replacing traditional manual operation and solving efficiency, hygiene, and cost issues in the processing process.

[0003] Existing devices often use a single water injection for rinsing, with the water flow being discharged directly after use. This results in low water resource utilization, difficulty in thoroughly removing the mud from the grooves on the surface of sweet potatoes, slow cleaning speed, and the need for multiple water changes. After cleaning, the sweet potatoes need to be manually retrieved and then manually transferred to the peeling machine, which is labor-intensive. During manual transfer, the skin is easily damaged due to collisions and squeezing, affecting the subsequent peeling quality and yield. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems of existing technologies where devices mostly use single-use water rinsing with direct discharge of water after use, resulting in low water resource utilization, difficulty in thoroughly removing soil from the grooves on the surface of sweet potatoes, slow cleaning speed requiring multiple water changes, and the need for manual retrieval and transfer of sweet potatoes to a peeling machine after cleaning, which is labor-intensive and prone to skin damage due to collisions and squeezing during manual transfer, affecting subsequent peeling quality and yield, a cleaning and peeling device for sweet potato food processing is proposed.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a cleaning and peeling device for sweet potato food processing, comprising a cleaning tank and a cleaning mechanism; a cleaning mechanism is provided on both sides of the cleaning tank, a pushing mechanism is provided on one side of the cleaning tank, a moving mechanism is provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the cleaning tank, a diversion mechanism is provided at both ends of the cleaning tank, and a peeling machine is provided at the lower end of the diversion mechanism; the cleaning mechanism includes a first tank, a nozzle, a water pipe, a water pump, a water tank, and a connecting box; multiple first tanks are arrayed and penetrated on both sides of the cleaning tank, a nozzle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first tank, one end of a water pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the nozzle, a water pump is fixedly connected to the other end of the water pipe, a water tank is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water pump, the water pump is located on the inner wall of the water tank, and a connecting box is fixedly connected to one side of both water tanks.

[0006] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a third tank, a fixing block, a fourth tank, a first electric cylinder, and a pushing plate; the third tank is opened through one end of the cleaning tank, the fixing block is fixed to one side of the cleaning tank, the fourth tank is opened on the side of the fixing block near the cleaning tank, the first electric cylinder is fixed to the inner wall of the fourth tank, the pushing plate is fixed to the output end of the first electric cylinder, and the pushing plate is located on the inner wall of the third tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a fifth tank, a second electric cylinder, and a filter plate; the lower end of the inner wall of the cleaning tank is provided with a fifth tank, the inner wall of the fifth tank is fixedly connected to a second electric cylinder, and the output end of the second electric cylinder is fixedly connected to a filter plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the drainage mechanism includes a second tank, a first drainage pipe, a sixth tank, and a second drainage pipe; the second tank is provided through the lower end of the side of the cleaning tank near the fixed block, and the first drainage pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second tank; the sixth tank is provided through the side of the cleaning tank away from the fixed block, and the second drainage pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sixth tank; the inner wall of the third tank is flush with the interior of the sixth tank; and the first drainage pipe is located at the upper end of the connecting box.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the second drainage tube is located at the inlet end of the peeler.

[0010] Furthermore, the water tank and the connecting box are interconnected, and a filter screen is fixed at the connection between the water tank and the connecting box.

[0011] Furthermore, the nozzle openings on both sides of the cleaning tank face inwards.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By designing a water circulation system, the water after rinsing is filtered and then flows back into the water tank for reuse. The strong water flow can quickly peel off the dirt from the surface of the sweet potatoes. At the same time, the water flow carries the dirt to the bottom, and the clean water is filtered and reused to avoid secondary pollution, ensuring more thorough and efficient cleaning. After cleaning, the second electric cylinder pushes the filter plate upward, and the sweet potatoes are lifted by the filter plate. The mud and water are discharged through the holes, avoiding manual sorting. The first electric cylinder drives the push plate to automatically feed the sweet potatoes into the peeling machine along the second diversion pipe, reducing manual intervention and improving processing efficiency and continuity. Through the smooth transfer design of the diversion pipe and the push plate, the sweet potatoes slide from the sixth tank along the second diversion pipe to the peeling machine, avoiding mechanical damage during manual handling, ensuring the integrity of the sweet potato surface, and improving peeling efficiency and product quality.

The output end of the second electric cylinder 42 pushes the filter plate 43 to move upward. The muddy water stays inside the cleaning tank 1 through the holes of the filter plate 43. The sweet potatoes are pushed upward by the filter plate 43. Then, turn on the first electric cylinder 34. The output end of the first electric cylinder 34 pushes the push plate 35 to move. The push plate 35 pushes the sweet potatoes from the sixth tank 53 along the second drain pipe 54 into the peeler 6, where the peeler 6 peels them.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the water tank 25 and the connecting box 26 are interconnected. A filter screen is fixed at the connection between the water tank 25 and the connecting box 26. The first drainage pipe 52 leads water into the interior of the connecting box 26. The water inside the connecting box 26 flows into the interior of the water tank 25 to form a circulation. The filter screen can prevent sediment from entering the interior of the water tank 25.
