Description

The cleaning of radish vegetables is an important link in the processing process, and various automatic cleaning machines for radish vegetables have emerged in the market.

[0003] Most of the existing cleaning machines divide brushing, flushing and water removal into three processes. The vegetables are first brushed to remove the adhered dirt, then flushed to ensure the surface of the vegetables is clean, and finally water removal is performed to remove the water stains attached to the surface of the vegetables during the cleaning process for storage. Such repeated work lengthens the time period of the entire processing process, and the vegetables are constantly transferred between processes, which increases the probability of damage to the vegetables, affects the quality of the vegetables, and thus increases the cost of cleaning and reduces the excellent rate of the vegetables. At the same time, due to the uneven surface of radish vegetables, it is difficult for conventional cleaning machines to achieve omnidirectional and dead angle-free cleaning of radish vegetables. Most of the cleaning machines complete the cleaning by means of water flow relative to the radish vegetables constantly flushing the surface of the radish vegetables during the cleaning process. This method undoubtedly consumes more time compared to direct brushing. Moreover, it cannot guarantee the cleaning degree, that is, it increases the time cost of cleaning and reduces the cleaning quality.

[0016] As a further scheme of the present application, the upper and lower ends of the feeding pipe are provided with waterproof valves to prevent a large amount of water from leaking from the feeding pipe during discharging.

[0017] A disinfection process for instant vegetables, and the specific method is as follows:

[0018] S1, before work, the water pump injects water into the equipment, and the waterproof valves at the upper and lower ends of the feeding pipe are closed to prevent the water source in the equipment from flowing out of the feeding pipe;

[0019] S2, during work, the motor is started to drive the washing mechanism to rotate, and then the washing mechanism agitates the water source to form a vortex;

[0020] S3, then, the upper end waterproof valve of the feeding pipe is opened, the vegetables are poured into the feeding pipe, and then the upper end waterproof valve is closed and the lower end waterproof valve is opened in turn;

[0021] S4, the vegetables in the feeding pipe enter the feeding cavity under the action of gravity, and then enter the washing mechanism under the action of buoyancy;

[0022] S5, the vegetables entering the washing mechanism are tightly attached to and extruded by the conical brush under the centrifugal force of the vortex, and move upward under the upward component force of the buoyancy and the extrusion force, while the bristles on the conical brush wash the surface of the vegetables;

[0023] S6, the sludge (sewage) washed off moves to the inner wall of the shell under the action of centrifugal force, and clean water is obtained after being filtered by the filtering mechanism and the mud removing mechanism, and then introduced into the washing mechanism from above the washing mechanism by the water pump;

[0024] S7, the vegetables continuously move upward, and after exceeding the liquid level, continue to rotate with the washing mechanism under the driving of the washing mechanism, and continue to move upward under the upward component force of the extrusion force, while shaking off the surface attached water stains;

[0025] S8, finally, the vegetables are driven to rotate by the washing mechanism, and are collected by the collecting mechanism after being thrown out of the equipment from the upper end of the washing mechanism by centrifugal force.

[0026] S9. Finally, the vegetables collected by the receiving agency will be disinfected.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0028] 1. Vegetables are fed into the feeding chamber through the feeding pipe, and then enter the washing mechanism from below under the feeding chamber by buoyancy. Under the centrifugal force of the vortex, they are pressed tightly against and squeezed by the conical brush, and move upward under the upward components of buoyancy and squeezing force. Finally, driven by the rotation of the washing mechanism, the vegetables are thrown out of the equipment from the top of the washing mechanism by centrifugal force and collected by the collecting mechanism. During this process, there is a speed difference between the washing mechanism and the vegetables, which causes relative sliding between them. This enhances the washing effect, and the vegetables are also propelled by the washing mechanism, causing them to rotate. This ensures that the vegetables can come into contact with the washing mechanism from all directions without dead angles, thus achieving thorough washing. At the same time, under the centrifugal force of the vortex... Under the action of force, the mud washed off the vegetables is discharged from the side wall of the washing mechanism, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the water source in the washing mechanism. Finally, the vegetables leaving the equipment under the rotation of the washing mechanism are clean vegetables that have been washed with clean water, avoiding the repetitive work of repeatedly rinsing with clean water in conventional vegetable washing. After the vegetables move upward to the water surface in the washing mechanism, they continue to rotate with the washing mechanism and continue to move upward under the upward component of the squeezing force, while shaking off the water stains attached to the surface. This avoids the additional water removal process required in conventional washing, further reducing the workload and improving work efficiency.

[0029] 2. When the washing mechanism rotates, it causes the outer gear to slide relative to the inner gear. Through the meshing of the outer and inner gears, the outer gear rotates under the action of the inner gear, which in turn causes the conical brush to rotate. This increases the relative sliding speed between the surface of the conical brush and the surface of the vegetables, while also enhancing the agitation effect on the vegetables. This makes the rotation of the vegetables more effective, thereby enhancing the washing effect of the conical brush on the surface of the vegetables. Furthermore, this allows the washing mechanism to perform more reliable and comprehensive cleaning of the vegetables.

[0030] 3. A filtration mechanism is installed to filter the wastewater flowing from the washing mechanism to the shell, so that the water discharged from the shell is clean water that can be reused. Then, the shell and the water pump are connected to the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 1, and the clean water discharged from the shell is injected into the equipment from above the washing mechanism through the water pump, thereby reducing the water consumption during the washing process and saving equipment operating costs.

[0063] The second filter plate 11-1 is slidably arranged between the second sludge inlet 9-4-1, the sliding plate 11-2 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the upper end of the sludge discharging cavity 9-4, the sliding plate 11-2 is fixedly connected with the supporting rod 8-2-1, a plurality of partition plates 9-5 are fixedly arranged in the sludge discharging cavity 9-4 at equal intervals, the extrusion mechanism 11 always cooperates with at least one partition plate 9-5 and the inner wall of the sludge discharging cavity 9-4 to form a closed cavity in the sludge discharging cavity 9-4, a sludge discharging pipe 9-6 is arranged through the outer wall of the sludge discharging cavity 9-4 on the side of the partition plate 9-5, and the through part of the sludge discharging pipe 9-6 on the sludge discharging cavity 9-4 is located in the cavity formed by the partition plate 9-5 and the extrusion mechanism 11, and the sludge discharging pipe 9-6 is provided with a pressure sensing valve, and the sludge discharging pipe 9-6 is opened when the pressure value of the pressure sensing valve is higher than the preset value.

[0064] When the device is running, the sliding plate 11-2 fixedly connected with the support rod 8-2-1 rotates around the axis of the washing mechanism 7 with the support rod 8-2-1, and drives the extrusion mechanism 11 to rotate, at this time the extrusion mechanism 11 slides in the mud discharge cavity 9-4, and the second filter plate 11-1 is opposite to the other side of the rotating plate 11-3, and one of the partitions 9-5 closest to the rotating plate 11-3 will continuously approach the rotating plate 11-3, and then the volume of the cavity formed by the partition 9-5 and the extrusion mechanism 11 is reduced, and then the fluid sludge in the wall is extruded, so that the water in the sludge is discharged from the second filter plate 11-1, and finally the sludge in the cavity is continuously extruded, and the sludge becomes soft and less watery, and finally the sludge is extruded from the mud discharge pipe (9-6) as the volume of the cavity continuously decreases (when the volume of the cavity continuously decreases, the fluid sludge will generate pressure on the pressure-sensitive valve on the inner wall of the cavity including the mud discharge pipe (9-6), in the initial stage, because the water content in the sludge is high, the water is easily discharged from the second filter plate 11-1, and the pressure-sensitive valve is subjected to small pressure, as the water content in the sludge continuously decreases, the difficulty of discharging water from the second filter plate 11-1 continuously increases, and the pressure-sensitive valve is subjected to continuously increasing pressure, until the preset value of the pressure-sensitive valve is reached, the mud discharge pipe (9-6) is opened); as the rotating plate 11-3 and the partition 9-5 continuously approach, the trigger switch 11-5 at the rotating plate 11-3 is extruded by the partition 9-5, and then the limit of the rotating shaft 11-4 is cancelled, so that the rotating shaft 11-4 can rotate; then the rotating plate 11-3 contacts and extrudes the partition 9-5, and under the action of the extrusion force, the rotating plate 11-3 rotates and is parallel to the upper end of the partition 9-5, and then passes over the partition 9-5 from the upper end of the partition 9-5; finally, the rotating plate 11-3 is reset under the elastic force of the torsional spring of the rotating shaft 11-4, at the same time, the trigger switch 11-5 is reset under its own reset mechanism after the rotating plate 11-3 passes over the partition 9-5, and the limit of the rotating shaft 11-4 is restored (it should be noted that the limit of the trigger switch 11-5 to the rotating shaft 11-4 is similar to that of a buckle switch, only when the rotating plate 11-3 fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 11-4 is reset, the trigger switch 11-5 will limit the rotating shaft 11-4); then the extrusion mechanism 11 cooperates with the next partition 9-5 to extrude and discharge the sludge in the mud discharge cavity 9-4; the cycle is repeated, so that the extrusion mechanism 11 continuously discharges the sludge washed from the vegetables in the device to the outside of the device.

[0065] In this way, through the continuous rotation of the extrusion mechanism 11, the sludge in the device is continuously discharged from the mud discharge pipe 9-6, preventing the device from running abnormally due to too much sludge, and avoiding the inconvenience of cleaning the sludge after processing; both improve the stability of the device and reduce the labor cost of using the device.

[0066] As a further scheme of the present application, the upper and lower ends of the feeding pipe 4 are provided with waterproof valves to prevent water in the device from flowing out of the feeding pipe 4 when the device is being fed;

[0067] When no vegetables are added to the device, the waterproof valves at the upper and lower ends of the feeding pipe 4 are closed to prevent water in the device from flowing out of the feeding pipe 4;

[0068] When vegetables are added to the device, the upper end waterproof valve of the feeding pipe 4 is opened, the vegetables are poured into the feeding pipe 4, and then the upper end waterproof valve is closed, and then the lower end waterproof valve is opened. Since the upper end waterproof valve is closed, the air in the feeding pipe 4 cannot be discharged, so under the action of the air pressure in the feeding pipe 4, the water source in the feeding chamber 3 cannot enter the feeding pipe 4 (so that the vegetables in the feeding pipe 4 will not be affected by the buoyancy of the water, causing the vegetables to accumulate in the feeding pipe 4); then the vegetables in the feeding pipe 4 enter the feeding chamber 3 under the action of gravity, and then enter the washing mechanism 7 under the action of buoyancy;

[0069] Through a simple structure, the vegetables are continuously fed into the device from the lower end of the device after water injection, which avoids feeding a large amount of vegetables into the device at one time, causing the washing mechanism 7 to simultaneously process too many vegetables, resulting in insufficient cleaning of the vegetables, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the device.

[0070] A ready-to-eat vegetable disinfection process, the specific method is as follows:

[0071] S1, before work, the water pump 6 injects water into the device, and the upper and lower waterproof valves of the feeding pipe 4 are closed to prevent water in the device from flowing out of the feeding pipe 4;

[0072] S2, during work, the motor 5 is started to drive the washing mechanism 7 to rotate, and then the washing mechanism 7 stirs the water source to form a vortex;

[0073] S3, then, the upper end waterproof valve of the feeding pipe 4 is opened, the vegetables are poured into the feeding pipe 4, and then the upper end waterproof valve is closed and the lower end waterproof valve is opened in turn;

[0074] S4, the vegetables in the feeding pipe 4 enter the feeding chamber 3 under the action of gravity, and then enter the washing mechanism 7 under the action of buoyancy;

[0075] S5, the vegetables entering the washing mechanism 7 are tightly pressed against the conical brush 7-2 under the centrifugal force of the vortex, and move upward under the upward component force of the buoyancy and the pressing force, and the bristles on the conical brush 7-2 wash the surface of the vegetables;

[0076] S6, the sludge (sewage) washed down under the action of centrifugal force, to the inner wall of the shell 1, after filtering mechanism 8 and mud removal mechanism 9, get clean water, and then by water pump 6 from the washing mechanism 7 above the washing mechanism 7 into the washing mechanism 7;

[0077] S7, the vegetables continue to go up, beyond the liquid level, under the drive of the washing mechanism 7, continue to rotate with the washing mechanism 7, and under the action of the upward component of the extrusion force, continue to move upward, while throwing out the surface attached water spots;

[0078] S8, finally, the vegetables are driven by the rotation of the washing mechanism 7, thrown out of the device from the upper end of the washing mechanism 7 by centrifugal force, and collected by the collecting mechanism;

[0079] S9, finally, the vegetables collected by the collecting mechanism are disinfected.
