[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the embodiments are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application discloses a bamboo shoot cleaning machine, including a frame body 1, a spray system, and a scrubbing trough system. A cleaning chamber 2 is located on the upper part of the frame body 1. The scrubbing trough system is located in the lower part of the cleaning chamber 2, and the spray system is located in the upper part of the cleaning chamber 2. The spray nozzles of the spray system face the scrubbing troughs 3 of the scrubbing trough system, and are used to clean the bamboo shoots in the scrubbing troughs 3. The scrubbing trough system includes at least one scrubbing trough 3, and each scrubbing trough 3 includes three vertically staggered spiral brush rollers 4. All rollers 4 are rotatably mounted on the main body 1 of the frame. Specifically, each spiral brush roller 4 is fixedly mounted on the outer circumferential side wall of the rotating shaft 5. Both ends of the rotating shaft 5 extend out of the spiral brush roller 4 and are rotatably connected to the two side walls of the cleaning chamber 2. The axes of the three spiral brush rollers 4 are parallel to each other. A material distribution plate 6 is vertically mounted above the scrubbing tank 3 near its inlet end. Brush bristles are provided on the circumferential side wall of the material distribution plate 6. The material distribution plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the material distribution shaft 7. Both ends of the material distribution shaft 7 are rotatably mounted on the two side walls of the cleaning chamber 2.

[0020] The spiral brush roller 4 can have two types of bristles of different lengths arranged on the outer circumferential sidewall of the roller. The longer bristles are spirally arranged on the outer circumferential sidewall of the roller, while the shorter bristles are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential sidewall of the roller.

[0021] For each scrubbing trough 3, three spiral brush rollers 4 are arranged side by side along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spiral brush rollers 4 (i.e., the width direction of the cleaning chamber 2). Specifically, the three spiral brush rollers 4 are staggered such that, along the axis of the spiral brush rollers 4 (i.e., the length direction of the cleaning chamber 2), the axes of the three spiral brush rollers 4 are not at the same height. The height of the axis of the middle spiral brush roller 4 is lower than the height of the axes of the spiral brush rollers 4 on both sides, forming a "U"-shaped scrubbing trough 3 channel. During the cleaning process, the bamboo shoots advance under the action of the spiral texture of the spiral brush rollers 4, and the three spiral brush rollers 4 rotate in the same direction, ensuring that the bamboo shoots are not damaged during the cleaning process.

[0022] The rotation direction of the equalizing disc 6 corresponds to the conveying direction of the bamboo shoots in the washing trough 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the bamboo shoots at the inlet of the washing tank 3 are evenly distributed by the equalizing plate 6 to prevent the bamboo shoots from accumulating in the washing tank 3. At the same time, the equalizing plate 6 rotates to move the bamboo shoots forward. The bamboo shoots move forward in the washing tank 3 and are washed. Combined with the high-pressure spray system, the residual bamboo shoot skin on the surface of the bamboo shoots is fully removed.

[0023] Along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spiral brush roller 4, a plurality of scrubbing grooves 3 are arranged side by side on the frame body 1, and the channels of the plurality of scrubbing grooves 3 are parallel to each other, including the following two implementation methods: One implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple washing troughs 3 are staggered vertically, and the center heights of the channels of the multiple washing troughs 3 are not on the same horizontal line. Multiple equalizing discs 6 corresponding to the washing troughs 3 are spaced apart on the equalizing shaft 7. The diameter of the equalizing disc 6 is adapted to the height of its corresponding washing trough 3, ensuring that the spatial distance between each set of equalizing discs 6 and its corresponding washing trough 3 remains the same. Since the diameter of the equalizing disc 6 above each washing trough 3 is different, the spatial distance between the equalizing disc 6 and the washing trough 3 can be kept the same. Excess bamboo shoots can be moved to the adjacent washing trough 3 by the spiral brush roller 4, thus ensuring that the bamboo shoots in each washing trough 3 remain uniform.

[0024] The material distribution shaft 7 is driven to rotate by a motor. One end of the material distribution shaft 7 extends out of the side wall of the cleaning chamber 2 and is connected to the output end of the motor. The other end of the material distribution shaft 7 is connected to the top of the cleaning chamber 2 through a fixed base 20, thereby simultaneously driving multiple material distribution discs 6 to rotate. Of course, a drive sprocket can be set at the output end of the material distribution shaft motor 19, and the end of the material distribution shaft 7 extends out of the side wall of the cleaning chamber 2 and is connected to the driven sprocket. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket are connected by a chain.

[0025] The correspondence between the equalizing tray 6 and the washing trough 3 specifically means that: the number of equalizing trays 6 and the number of washing troughs 3 correspond to each other, and one equalizing tray 6 is set at the inlet end of each washing trough 3; the positions of equalizing trays 6 and washing troughs 3 correspond to each other, and the equalizing tray 6 is set directly above the inlet end of the washing trough 3, so that the bamboo shoots falling into the inlet end of the washing trough 3 are evenly distributed under the action of the equalizing tray 6.

[0026] The matching of the diameter of the equalizing disc 6 to the height of its corresponding washing trough 3 means that, along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spiral brush roller 4, the height of the washing trough 3 channel gradually increases. To ensure that the amount of bamboo shoots in each washing trough 3 channel is approximately the same and evenly distributed, the diameter of the multiple equalizing discs 6 gradually decreases, making the distance between the bottom of each equalizing disc 6 and the bottom of the washing trough 3 channel approximately the same. Along the direction in which the diameters of the multiple equalizing discs 6 gradually decrease, several spiral brush rollers 4 rotate in that direction.

[0027] Another implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple washing tanks 3 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and the height of the channels of multiple washing tanks 3 is located on the same horizontal straight line. Multiple material distribution discs 6 corresponding to the washing tanks 3 are spaced apart on the material distribution shaft 7. In a preferred embodiment, the multiple material distribution discs 6 are of the same size. The material distribution shaft 7 is driven to rotate by the material distribution shaft motor 19. That is, one end of the material distribution shaft 7 extends out of the side wall of the washing chamber 2 and is connected to the output end of the material distribution shaft motor 19, and the other end of the material distribution shaft 7 is connected to the top of the washing chamber 2 through the fixed seat 20, thereby driving the multiple material distribution discs 6 to rotate at the same time.

[0028] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, since all the spiral brush rollers 4 rotate clockwise to the right, the excess bamboo shoots will move laterally to the right. The excess bamboo shoots tend to detach from the scrubbing trough. Therefore, 2-3 more spiral brush rollers 4 are vertically arranged on the right side. Figure 3 (The diagram does not show 2-3 additional spiral brush rollers 4), these 2-3 spiral brush rollers 4 have the function of stopping the material. It can be understood that, assuming all the spiral brush rollers 4 rotate counterclockwise to the left, then 2-3 spiral brush rollers 4 are vertically arranged on the left side for stopping the material.

[0029] In a further embodiment, the washing chamber 2 is provided with a feed inlet 13, which is located at the entrance end of the scrubbing trough 3, so that the bamboo shoots entering through the feed inlet 13 directly enter the entrance end of the scrubbing trough 3. The bamboo shoots at the entrance end of the scrubbing trough 3 are evenly distributed in the channel of the scrubbing trough 3 under the action of the equalizing plate 6. In order to facilitate feeding, the feed inlet 13 adopts a sloping feeding method. The washing chamber 2 is provided with a discharge outlet 14 on the other side wall opposite to the feed inlet 13, which is located at the outlet end of the scrubbing trough 3. The discharge outlet 14 and the feed inlet 13 are respectively located on the opposite side walls of the washing chamber 2.

[0030] In a further embodiment, the spraying system includes nozzles 8 and a diversion section 9, with multiple nozzles 8 disposed on the diversion section 9; for each scrubbing trough 3, multiple nozzles 8 are evenly arranged above the scrubbing trough 3 along its length. The spraying system effectively removes residual bamboo shoot sheaths from the surface of the bamboo shoots. The diversion section 9 can be a diversion pipe, other components with diversion chambers, etc.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the cleaning machine also includes a high-pressure spray pump 10 and a circulating filter water tank 11 located below the cleaning chamber 2. The bottom of the cleaning chamber 2 has a liquid outlet. The cleaning liquid exiting the outlet enters the circulating filter water tank 11 through a pipeline or directly. The filtered liquid in the circulating filter water tank 11 is connected to the high-pressure spray pump 10 through a pipeline. The outlet of the high-pressure spray pump 10 is connected to a diversion section 9 through a pipeline. The filtered liquid in the diversion section 9 is sprayed out through multiple nozzles 8 to clean the bamboo shoots. The high-pressure spray system, combined with the circulating filter water tank 11, eliminates external drainage, resulting in extremely low water consumption and water conservation.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the rotation of all spiral brush rollers 4 is driven by a brush roller motor 18. Specifically, each spiral brush roller 4 is rotatably connected to the frame body 1 via a rotating shaft 5. One end of the rotating shaft 5 passes through the side wall of the frame body 1 and is fixedly connected to a first driven sprocket. A second driven sprocket 16 is also fixedly mounted on one of the rotating shafts 5. The output end of the brush roller motor 18 is provided with a driving sprocket 15. The driving sprocket 15 and the second driven sprocket 16 are connected by a second chain 17. Multiple first driven sprockets are then connected by a first chain. The brush roller motor 18 drives the driving sprocket 15 to rotate, and the driving sprocket 15 drives multiple first driven sprockets to rotate in the same direction. The speed is adjustable, making it highly practical.

[0033] The working principle of the bamboo shoot washing machine: Bamboo shoots enter the washing chamber 2 through the feed inlet 13 and fall into the inlet of multiple scrubbing troughs 3. Under the action of the equalizing disc 6, the bamboo shoots are evenly distributed left and right in the scrubbing trough 3 channel. At the same time, the equalizing disc 6 rotates to move the bamboo shoots forward, and multiple spiral brush rollers 4 rotate in the same direction to scrub the surface of the bamboo shoots, avoiding damage to the bamboo shoots themselves. Combined with the high-pressure spray system to rinse the bamboo shoots, the residual bamboo shoot skin on the surface is thoroughly removed. Except for the brush bristles and spiral brush rollers 4, the entire washing machine is made of stainless steel to ensure food safety, corrosion resistance, and product durability and stability. This washing machine can realize continuous automatic production line processing of bamboo shoots without the need to ensure the orientation of the bamboo shoots; it adopts a self-circulating water filtration system, with no external drainage and extremely low water consumption for washing.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Any modifications, alterations, alterations, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model without departing from the spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
