Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mustard processing, and in particular to a device that is convenient for cleaning a large amount of mustard. Background Art
[0002] In the process of pickling mustard greens, the outer skin of the mustard greens mustard heads must be cleaned first. However, the surface of large mustard greens is uneven, making it difficult to clean impurities in the concave parts of the outer skin of the mustard greens. If the traditional manual cleaning method is used, it is very easy to damage the original tissue of the mustard greens, and the unique odor characteristics of the mustard greens themselves can easily choke people's eyes during the cleaning process. Therefore, the current mainstream method is to use equipment to achieve automated cleaning.
[0003] Authorization announcement number CN107802006B discloses an automatic cleaning machine and its olive vegetable production process. Combined with the attached drawings, the second conveyor belt inside the cleaning net box is limited in the amount of vegetables it can clean when transporting vegetables for cleaning. Whenever there are too many vegetables inside the cleaning net box, the vegetables are easily stuck between the vegetables and the arc-shaped concave guide part, which reduces the cleaning efficiency and is not conducive to subsequent maintenance and repair. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:
[0024] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a device for washing a large amount of mustard greens includes a washing box 1 composed of sheet metal parts and aluminum profiles welded together, the washing box 1 can be divided into an inclined portion 13 and a horizontal portion 14, one side of the horizontal portion 14 is provided with an inlet area 141, one side of the inclined portion 13 is provided with an outlet area 131, the discharge guide plate 11 is installed in the outlet area 131, and one side of the inlet area 141 is provided with an inlet guide plate 142. The user can place the mustard greens on the surface of the inlet guide plate 142 and slide them into the inside of the washing box 1, while the discharge guide plate 11 plays a guiding role for the mustard greens to fall. The inside of the washing box 1 is arranged from top to bottom in order. A first chain conveying mechanism 2 and a second chain conveying mechanism 3 are provided, wherein the first chain conveying mechanism 2 is close to the right end of the cleaning box 1, and the second chain conveying mechanism 3 is close to the left end of the cleaning box 1. The first chain conveying mechanism 2 and the second chain conveying mechanism 3 do not interfere with each other. The conveying range of the first chain conveying mechanism 2 is the horizontal part 14, and the conveying range of the second chain conveying mechanism 3 is the inclined part 13. Specifically, the first chain conveying mechanism 2 includes a first transmission chain 21, a first transmission gear 22, a first gear fixing plate 23, a first drive motor 24 and a first drive shaft 25. The interior of the cleaning box 1 is fixed on both sides. A plurality of first gear fixing plates 23 are installed, each of which is rotatably connected to a first transmission gear 22, a first drive shaft 25 is fixedly connected between every two symmetrical first transmission gears 22, and a first transmission chain 21 is connected to the plurality of first transmission gears 22 on the same side. The outside of the cleaning box 1 is connected to a first drive motor 24, and the rotating shaft of the first drive motor 24 passes through the surface of the cleaning box 1 and is fixedly connected to the first drive shaft 25. A plurality of guide levers 4 are fixedly connected between the first transmission chains 21 on both sides, and each guide lever 4 is composed of a guide cross bar 41 and a guide oblique bar 42. Each of the guide levers 4 is composed of a guide cross bar 41 and a guide oblique bar 42. The inclined rod 42 is connected to the surface of the guide cross bar 41. After this arrangement, when washing mustard greens, the water inside the washing box 1 cannot be higher than the guide rod 4 located at the upper part, so that the mustard greens will sink to the area of the guide rod 4 located at the lower side under the action of gravity. Whenever the rotating shaft of the first drive motor 24 rotates, it will drive the first drive shaft 25, and the first drive shaft 25 will drive the first transmission gear 22 to rotate. At this time, the first transmission chain 21 will move under the traction of the first transmission gear 22, and the guide rod 4 will also move during the movement. During the movement of the guide rod 4, the guide inclined rod 42 will be used to break up the mustard greens that are clumped together so that they can be fully immersed in water.
[0025] In this embodiment, the second chain conveying mechanism 3 includes a second transmission chain 31, a second transmission gear 32, a second gear fixing plate 33, a second drive motor 35 and a second drive shaft 34. A plurality of second gear fixing plates 33 are installed on both sides of the interior of the cleaning box 1. Each of the second gear fixing plates 33 is rotatably connected to the second transmission gear 32. A second drive shaft 34 is fixedly connected between each two symmetrical second transmission gears 32. The second transmission chain 31 is connected to the plurality of second transmission gears 32 on the same side. The outside of the cleaning box 1 is connected to the second drive motor 35. The rotating shaft of the second drive motor 35 passes through the surface of the cleaning box 1 and is fixed. Connected to the second drive shaft 34, a number of conveying support rods 6 are fixedly connected between the second transmission chains 31 on both sides. In order to prevent the mustard from falling on the bottom of the cleaning box 1, the gap between adjacent conveying support rods 6 is smaller than the volume of the mustard. After this arrangement, whenever the rotating shaft of the second drive motor 35 rotates, it will drive the second drive shaft 34, and the second drive shaft 34 will drive the second transmission gear 32 to rotate. At this time, the second transmission chain 31 will move under the traction of the second transmission gear 32, and the conveying support rods 6 will also move during the movement. During the movement, the adjacent conveying support rods 6 will support the mustard broken up by the guide oblique rods 42 and gradually convey it out from the inside of the cleaning box 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, there is an air duct gap 12 between the discharge guide plate 11 and the end of the second chain conveying mechanism 3. The bottom of the discharge guide plate 11 is provided with a wind knife fixing plate 5, and the surface of the wind knife fixing plate 5 is provided with a pneumatic wind knife 51. The blowing port of the pneumatic wind knife 51 is aligned with the air duct gap 12. Whenever the second chain conveying mechanism 3 conveys the mustard from the inside of the cleaning box 1, in order to make the mustard fall smoothly and not get stuck, the blowing port of the pneumatic wind knife 51 will blow the mustard to move it to the surface of the discharge guide plate 11, so that the mustard on the surface of the discharge guide plate 11 will slide down under the squeezing of the mustard behind, effectively avoiding the problem of jamming between the mustard and the equipment after cleaning.
[0027] In this embodiment, in order to further enhance the degree of cleaning sanitation, a water injection filter box 15 and a water injection waterway 16 are fixedly installed on the outside of the cleaning box 1. One end of the water injection waterway 16 is connected to the external waterway, and the other end of the water injection waterway 16 is connected to the water injection filter box 15. A plurality of filter plates 17 are provided inside the water injection filter box 15. The water outlet of the water injection filter box 15 is connected to the inside of the cleaning box 1. Whenever external water enters the inside of the cleaning box 1, it will pass through the filter plates 17 in turn for filtration. The material of the filter plates 17 can be PP cotton, reverse osmosis filter element and ultrafiltration membrane filter element, etc. In order to further enhance the cleaning effect, a gas channel is also provided inside the cleaning box 1. 18. The gas channel 18 is located throughout the horizontal portion 14. The gas channel 18 is connected to an external air pump. A number of channel air holes 19 are provided on the surface of each gas channel 18. In order to prevent water from flowing back, the pressure inside the gas channel 18 is greater than the water pressure inside the cleaning box 1. Some anti-backflow devices can also be installed inside the channel air holes 19. Whenever the mustard is broken up by the first chain conveying mechanism 2, the channel air holes 19 can also blow air to further break up the mustard, and the bubbles can also further clean the mustard. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the equipment, a number of drain valves 7 are also provided on the outside of the cleaning box 1. The user can drain the water inside the cleaning box 1 by switching the drain valve 7.
[0028] Working principle and usage of the present invention:
[0029] Whenever a large amount of mustard greens needs to be cleaned, the external water will enter the cleaning box 1 and will be filtered through the filter plate 17 in turn to ensure hygiene and cleanliness during the cleaning process. Since the mustard greens may clump together and are inconvenient to clean, the user can place the mustard greens on the surface of the feed guide plate 142 until they slide into the cleaning box 1. At this time, the water inside the cleaning box 1 cannot be higher than the guide rod 4 located at the upper part, so that the mustard greens will sink to the area of the guide rod 4 located at the lower side under the action of gravity. Then, when the rotating shaft of the first drive motor 24 rotates, it will drive the first drive shaft 25, and the first drive shaft 25 will drive the first transmission gear 22 to rotate. At this time, the first transmission chain 21 will move under the traction of the first transmission gear 22, and the guide rod 4 will also move during the movement. During the movement, the guide rod 4 will use its guide inclined rod 42 to break up the mustard greens that have clumped together, so that they can be fully immersed in water. The broken up mustard greens will fall on the conveying support rod 6 The surface of the mustard, during the breaking up process, the channel air holes 19 can also blow air to further break up the mustard, and the bubbles can also further clean the mustard. Then the rotating shaft of the second drive motor 35 rotates to drive the second drive shaft 34, and the second drive shaft 34 will drive the second transmission gear 32 to rotate. At this time, the second transmission chain 31 will move under the traction of the second transmission gear 32. During the movement, the conveying support rod 6 will also move. The adjacent conveying support rod 6 will support the mustard broken up by the guide oblique rod 42 during the movement, and gradually convey it from the inside of the cleaning box 1 to the end side of the discharge guide plate 11. In order to make the mustard fall smoothly and not get stuck, the blowing port of the pneumatic wind knife 51 will blow the mustard to move it to the surface of the discharge guide plate 11, so that the mustard on the surface of the discharge guide plate 11 will slide down to the next step under the squeezing of the mustard behind, effectively ensuring that there is a jamming problem between the mustard and the equipment after cleaning.
