Wild pine mushroom cleaning and dewatering equipment

Abstract

This invention relates to a wild matsutake mushroom cleaning and dehydration device, belonging to the field of wild mushroom processing technology. Matsutake mushrooms are sequentially added to a scrubbing tank and then pressed into the water by a scrubbing conveyor belt. The conveyor belt rotates in both forward and reverse directions, brushing the matsutake mushrooms pressed against the bottom of the belt. The matsutake mushrooms, under buoyancy, come into contact with the flexible brushes, avoiding excessive scrubbing and damage. During the alternating forward and reverse motion of the conveyor belt, the scrubbing force causes the matsutake mushrooms to tumble, enabling comprehensive scrubbing and thorough removal of impurities, ensuring effective cleaning. During the alternating forward and reverse motion of the conveyor belt, the buoyancy provides relatively small support, acting as a soft support, which reduces damage to the matsutake mushrooms while ensuring thorough cleaning. After scrubbing, the mushrooms are retrieved by a retrieval conveyor belt, washed by a spray device, and then dried by a blower, effectively improving work efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wild mushroom processing technology, specifically relating to a wild matsutake mushroom cleaning and dehydration device. Background Technology

[0002] Matsutake mushrooms are a rare and precious edible fungus, hailed as the "King of Fungi." They grow in high-altitude forests above 3500 meters in cold temperate zones. Research shows that matsutake mushrooms are rich in protein, containing 18 amino acids, 14 essential trace elements, 49 active nutrients, 5 unsaturated fatty acids, nucleic acid derivatives, peptides, and other rare elements. They also contain three precious active substances: double-stranded matsutake polysaccharide, matsutake polypeptide, and matsutake alcohol—a unique anti-cancer substance found nowhere else in the world—making them one of the most precious natural medicinal fungi.

[0003] Matsutake mushrooms often have some dirt and impurities on their surface, so they need to be cleaned before processing. Because matsutake mushrooms are precious, traditional equipment that uses stirring devices for cleaning can easily damage them. Rinsing with water is not enough to remove the dirt from the surface of matsutake mushrooms, resulting in poor cleaning. After cleaning, a lot of water adheres to the surface of the matsutake mushrooms, and it takes a long time to remove the surface water under natural drying, which seriously affects work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems in the background technology, the present invention provides a wild matsutake mushroom cleaning and dehydration device. The matsutake mushrooms are sequentially added to a scrubbing tank 1 and then pressed into the water within the tank by a scrubbing conveyor belt 2. The scrubbing conveyor belt 2 rotates in both forward and reverse directions, brushing the matsutake mushrooms pressed against the bottom of the belt. The matsutake mushrooms, under buoyancy, come into contact with a flexible brush 6, avoiding excessive scrubbing and damage. During the alternating forward and reverse motion of the scrubbing conveyor belt 2, the scrubbing force causes the matsutake mushrooms to tumble, enabling comprehensive scrubbing and thorough removal of impurities, ensuring effective cleaning. Because the buoyancy force during the alternating motion of the scrubbing conveyor belt 2 is relatively small and provides soft support, damage to the matsutake mushrooms is reduced while ensuring thorough cleaning. After scrubbing, the mushrooms are retrieved by a retrieval conveyor belt 3, washed by a spray device 4, and then dried by a blower device 5, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: A wild matsutake mushroom cleaning and dehydration device mainly includes a scrubbing tank 1, a scrubbing conveyor belt 2, a scooping conveyor belt 3, a spraying device 4, and a drying device 5. The scrubbing conveyor belt 2 is installed on the scrubbing tank 1, with its bottom side inside the scrubbing tank 1. Flexible brushes 6 are evenly arranged on the scrubbing conveyor belt 2. The scooping conveyor belt 3 is installed at the end of the scrubbing tank 1, with its front end inside the scrubbing tank 1. The spraying device 4 is installed at the end of the scrubbing tank 1, above the front end of the scooping conveyor belt 3. The drying device 5 is installed on the scooping conveyor belt 3, above the rear half of the scooping conveyor belt 3. A water outlet pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the front end of the scrubbing tank 1, and the water outlet pipe 11 is connected to the workshop water treatment equipment. By sequentially adding matsutake mushrooms into the scrubbing tank 1, they are sequentially pressed into the tank by the scrubbing conveyor belt 2. The matsutake mushrooms are washed in the water in the washing tank 1. The washing conveyor belt 2 moves in both forward and reverse directions, brushing the matsutake mushrooms pressed against the bottom of the washing conveyor belt 2. Under the action of buoyancy, the matsutake mushrooms come into contact with the flexible brush 6, avoiding excessive brushing and preventing damage to the matsutake mushrooms. When the washing conveyor belt 2 moves in both forward and reverse directions, the brushing force causes the matsutake mushrooms to turn over, enabling all-round brushing of the matsutake mushrooms, thoroughly removing impurities and ensuring the brushing effect. The forward stroke of the washing conveyor belt 2 is greater than the reverse stroke, so that the matsutake mushrooms are transported to the end of the washing tank 1 during the brushing process. When the washing conveyor belt 2 moves in both forward and reverse directions, the buoyancy is a relatively small supporting force, which is a soft support, which can reduce damage to the matsutake mushrooms and thoroughly clean them. After brushing, the matsutake mushrooms are retrieved by the retrieval conveyor belt 3, washed by the spray device 4, and then blown off by the drying device 5 to remove the surface water, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, the washing conveyor belt 2 includes a frame 22, a rotating shaft 23, a motor 24, a sprocket 25, a chain 26, and a panel 27. The rotating shaft 23 is mounted on the frame 22 via bearings, and the motor 24 is mounted on the frame 22. The motor 24 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 23 via a drive. The two chains 26 are respectively mounted on the rotating shafts 23 via the sprockets 25. The panel 27 is evenly mounted on the chains 26, and the flexible brush 6 is evenly mounted on the panel 27. Through the chain and sprocket drive, the operation is stable and reliable.

[0007] Furthermore, the frame 22 is an inverted trapezoid in its side view, with a rotating shaft 23 installed at each corner. The end forms an inclined surface 28 at the bottom of the washing conveyor belt 2 to facilitate the floating matsutake mushrooms entering the conveyor belt 2. After the matsutake mushrooms reach the inclined surface 28, they are pressed into the water by the forward-rotating washing conveyor belt 2. Under the action of buoyancy, the matsutake mushrooms come into contact with and are washed by the flexible brush 6.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible brush 6 includes a long-bristled brush 61 and a short-bristled brush 62, which are installed alternately on the panel 27. The long-bristled brushes 61 form a channel 63 for brushing the matsutake mushrooms. Under the reciprocating motion of the washing conveyor belt 2, the matsutake mushrooms tumble laterally within the channel 63. The short-bristled brushes 62 brush around the matsutake mushrooms, while the long-bristled brushes 61 brush both ends of the matsutake mushrooms to ensure the quality of brushing.

[0009] Furthermore, the retrieval conveyor belt 3 is a mesh conveyor belt, with partitions 31 evenly arranged laterally on the mesh conveyor belt to facilitate the lifting of matsutake mushrooms. The matsutake mushrooms can be picked up one by one, and then sprayed with clean water by the spraying device 4 for washing. Then, the drying device 5 blows water to remove the water from the surface of the matsutake mushrooms. The retrieval conveyor belt 3 moves in both forward and reverse directions, causing the matsutake mushrooms to tumble during the water removal process, which increases the dehydration rate. The forward stroke of the retrieval conveyor belt 3 is greater than the reverse stroke, thus realizing the retrieval and transportation of matsutake mushrooms.

[0010] Furthermore, the spraying device 4 includes a support arm 41, a spray pipe 42, and nozzles 43. The support arm 41 is installed on the scrubbing tank 1, the spray pipe 42 is horizontally installed on the support arm 41, and the nozzles 43 are evenly installed at the bottom of the spray pipe 42. The spray pipe 42 is connected to the clean water supply equipment in the workshop.

[0011] Furthermore, the drying device 5 includes a support frame 51, an air supply pipe 52, and an air nozzle 53. The support frame 51 is installed on the salvage conveyor belt 3, the air supply pipe 52 is evenly installed on the support frame 51, the air nozzle 53 is evenly installed at the bottom of the air supply pipe 52, and the air nozzle 53 is evenly connected to the main air supply pipe, which is connected to the workshop air supply equipment.

[0012] Furthermore, the front end of the washing tank 1 is provided with a receiving hopper 12 for easy feeding.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] This invention involves sequentially adding matsutake mushrooms to a scrubbing tank, where they are then pressed into the water by a scrubbing conveyor belt. The conveyor belt rotates in both forward and reverse directions, brushing the matsutake mushrooms pressed against the bottom of the belt. The mushrooms, under buoyancy, come into contact with the flexible brush, preventing excessive scrubbing and damage. The alternating forward and reverse motion of the conveyor belt causes the mushrooms to tumble, allowing for comprehensive scrubbing and thorough removal of impurities, ensuring effective cleaning. During the alternating forward and reverse motion of the conveyor belt, the buoyancy provides a relatively small supporting force, further reducing damage to the mushrooms while ensuring thorough cleaning. After scrubbing, the mushrooms are retrieved by a retrieval conveyor belt, washed by a spray device, and then dried by a blower, effectively improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Matsutake mushrooms are sequentially added to the washing tank 1 and pressed into the tank by the washing conveyor belt 2. In the water within the scrubbing tank 1, the scrubbing conveyor belt 2 rotates in both forward and reverse directions, brushing the matsutake mushrooms pressed against the bottom of the belt. The matsutake mushrooms, under buoyancy, come into contact with the flexible brush 6, preventing excessive brushing and damage.

The two chains 26 are respectively mounted on the rotating shafts 23 via the sprockets 25. The panel 27 is evenly mounted on the chains 26, and the flexible brush 6 is evenly mounted on the panel 27. Through the chain and sprocket drive, the operation is stable and reliable.

[0024] The frame 22 is an inverted trapezoid in its side view. A rotating shaft 23 is installed at each corner. The end forms an inclined surface 28 at the bottom of the washing conveyor belt 2 to facilitate the floating matsutake mushrooms. After the matsutake mushrooms reach the inclined surface 28, they are pressed into the water by the forward-rotating washing conveyor belt 2. Under the action of buoyancy, the matsutake mushrooms come into contact with and are washed by the flexible brush 6.

[0025] The flexible brush 6 includes a long-bristled brush 61 and a short-bristled brush 62, which are installed alternately on the panel 27. The long-bristled brushes 61 form a channel 63 for brushing matsutake mushrooms. Under the reciprocating motion of the washing conveyor belt 2, the matsutake mushrooms tumble laterally in the channel 63. The short-bristled brushes 62 brush around the matsutake mushrooms, while the long-bristled brushes 61 brush both ends of the matsutake mushrooms to ensure the quality of brushing.

[0026] The aforementioned retrieval conveyor belt 3 is a mesh conveyor belt, with partitions 31 evenly arranged laterally on the mesh conveyor belt to facilitate the lifting of matsutake mushrooms. The matsutake mushrooms can be picked up one by one, and then sprayed with clean water by the spraying device 4 for washing. Then, the drying device 5 blows water to remove the water from the surface of the matsutake mushrooms. The retrieval conveyor belt 3 moves in both forward and reverse directions, causing the matsutake mushrooms to tumble during the water removal process, thereby increasing the dehydration rate. The forward stroke of the retrieval conveyor belt 3 is greater than the reverse stroke, thus realizing the retrieval and transportation of matsutake mushrooms.

[0027] The spray device 4 includes a support arm 41, a spray pipe 42, and nozzles 43. The support arm 41 is installed on the scrubbing tank 1, the spray pipe 42 is horizontally installed on the support arm 41, and the nozzles 43 are evenly installed at the bottom of the spray pipe 42. The spray pipe 42 is connected to the clean water supply equipment in the workshop.

[0028] The drying device 5 includes a support frame 51, an air supply pipe 52, and an air nozzle 53. The support frame 51 is installed on the salvage conveyor belt 3.

[0029] The front end of the washing tank 1 is provided with a receiving hopper 12 for easy feeding.

[0030] Work process:

[0031] Matsutake mushrooms are added sequentially to the washing tank 1 and then pressed into the water by the washing conveyor belt 2. The washing conveyor belt 2 rotates in both forward and reverse directions, brushing the matsutake mushrooms pressed against the bottom of the washing conveyor belt 2. Under the action of buoyancy, the matsutake mushrooms come into contact with the flexible brush 6, avoiding excessive brushing and preventing damage to the matsutake mushrooms. When the washing conveyor belt 2 rotates in both forward and reverse directions, the brushing force causes the matsutake mushrooms to turn over, enabling all-round brushing of the matsutake mushrooms, thoroughly removing impurities and ensuring the brushing effect. Under the reciprocating motion of the washing conveyor belt 2, the matsutake mushrooms tumble laterally in the channel 63. The short-bristled brush 62 brushes the area around the matsutake mushrooms, while the long-bristled brush 61 brushes both ends of the matsutake mushrooms, ensuring that the matsutake mushrooms are clean and healthy. To ensure the quality of brushing and washing, the forward stroke of the washing conveyor belt 2 is greater than its reverse stroke, allowing the matsutake mushrooms to be conveyed to the end of the washing tank 1 during the brushing process. When the washing conveyor belt 2 moves in alternating forward and reverse directions, the buoyancy provides a relatively small supporting force, acting as a soft support, which reduces damage to the matsutake mushrooms while ensuring thorough cleaning. After brushing, the matsutake mushrooms are retrieved by the retrieval conveyor belt 3, washed by the spray device 4, and then dried by the blowing device 5. The alternating forward and reverse motion of the retrieval conveyor belt 3 causes the matsutake mushrooms to tumble during the dehydration process, increasing the dehydration rate. The forward stroke of the retrieval conveyor belt 3 is greater than its reverse stroke, achieving the retrieval and conveying of the matsutake mushrooms, effectively improving work efficiency.
