Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a raw material cleaning machine for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Food safety has always been a core issue of global concern, especially in the food processing industry. Ensuring the quality of raw materials is a key step in guaranteeing the safety of the final product. As people's living standards improve and their health awareness increases, consumers have raised higher requirements for the safety and hygiene of food. This not only involves the nutritional components of food, but also the strict control of every link in the production process, especially the initial processing stage of raw materials, such as cleaning.

[0003] Traditional cleaning methods involve pouring raw materials into a cleaning tank and agitating them to allow the water to directly clean them. However, this method results in poor water impact on the raw materials, leading to the easy retention of stubborn impurities on the surface. Furthermore, the mutual obstruction between the raw materials results in poor relative movement between the materials and the water flow, making it impossible for the water to effectively clean the materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a raw material washing machine for food processing, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: A raw material washing machine for food processing includes a washing cylinder for providing space for washing raw materials. The washing cylinder is horizontal and has an arc-shaped cross-section. One end of the washing cylinder is provided with a feed pipe for feeding materials into the washing cylinder, and the other end of the washing cylinder is provided with a discharge unit for discharging materials. A water spraying unit is provided on the washing cylinder for horizontally spraying water into the washing cylinder. A push plate is provided on the inner wall of the washing cylinder and moves along the arc-shaped inner wall trajectory of the washing cylinder. When the pusher plate passes through the middle of the arc of the washing cylinder and moves to one side of the washing cylinder, the pusher plate pushes the raw materials in the washing cylinder synchronously. When the pusher plate moves to the specified position on the inner wall of the washing cylinder, the pusher plate tilts downward and causes the raw materials on it to fall naturally.

[0005] Furthermore, both ends of the cleaning cylinder are rotatably provided with a central shaft, and a lever is slidably provided on the central shaft, and the lever moves in the radial direction along the central shaft; The axis of the central axis is located in the middle of the vertical movement trajectory of the push plate, and the lever plate is coplanar with the push plate.

[0006] Furthermore, V-shaped guide grooves are provided on both end walls of the inner side of the cleaning cylinder, and a sliding column is slidably arranged in each V-shaped guide groove, with the sliding column fixed on the push plate. The V-shaped guide groove consists of two arc-shaped parts. When the sliding column slides in the V-shaped guide groove, the push plate always slides in contact with the arc-shaped inner wall of the cleaning cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, each central shaft is equipped with a power structure, which is used to provide power to the central shaft; The power structure includes a first small wheel and a large wheel rotatably mounted on the cleaning drum, and a motor fixed on the cleaning drum. The first small wheel and the large wheel mesh with each other. The output end of the motor is provided with a second small wheel. A push-pull rod is eccentrically provided on the second small wheel, and the push-pull rod is eccentrically connected to the large wheel.

[0008] Furthermore, the water spraying unit includes two horizontal pipes, which are parallel to the cleaning cylinder. The line connecting the two horizontal pipes is perpendicular to the length direction of the cleaning cylinder. The two horizontal pipes are located on both sides of the cleaning cylinder and are fixed to the cleaning cylinder. Multiple long openings are provided between the horizontal pipes and the cleaning cylinder. The multiple long openings are arranged vertically, and the length direction of the long openings is parallel to the length direction of the cleaning cylinder. The two horizontal pipes are connected by a T-connector.

[0009] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the end face of the push plate facing the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder, and the baffle extends to the front and rear sides of the push plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the push plate has multiple openings, and multiple guide plates are provided at the lowest point of the inner wall of the washing cylinder. The multiple guide plates are arranged along the length of the washing cylinder, and the guide plates are inclined in the direction away from the discharge unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge unit includes a discharge pipe installed at an incline on the washing cylinder and a water collection hopper installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe. The water collection hopper and the discharge pipe are connected through multiple water leakage holes, and a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the water collection hopper.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are: By moving the pusher plate along the inner wall of the washing cylinder, the raw materials can be effectively pushed and scattered, allowing them to fully contact the water flow and improving cleaning efficiency. This avoids mutual obstruction between raw materials, facilitating direct and effective cleaning with the water flow. Furthermore, this method increases the relative motion between the water flow and the raw materials, thus enhancing the cleaning effect. Because the pusher plate moves continuously back and forth within the washing cylinder, it can continuously push and scatter the raw materials, enabling repeated cleaning. The equipment can continuously feed materials and continuously scatter and rinse them through the reciprocating movement of the pusher plate, achieving continuous cleaning. In summary, this washing machine design effectively solves the problems existing in traditional cleaning methods, improves cleaning quality and efficiency, and is also more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. This embodiment is written in a progressive manner.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a raw material washing machine for food processing according to the present invention includes a washing cylinder 1 for providing space for washing raw materials. The washing cylinder 1 is horizontal and has an arc-shaped cross-section. One end of the washing cylinder 1 is provided with a feed pipe 2 for feeding materials into the washing cylinder 1, and the other end of the washing cylinder 1 is provided with a discharge unit 3 for discharging materials. A water spraying unit 4 is provided on the washing cylinder 1 for horizontally spraying water into the washing cylinder 1. A push plate 5 is provided on the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1, and the push plate 5 moves along the arc-shaped inner wall trajectory of the washing cylinder 1. When the pusher plate 5 passes through the arc-shaped middle of the washing cylinder 1 and moves to one side of the washing cylinder 1, the pusher plate 5 pushes the raw material in the washing cylinder 1 synchronously. When the pusher plate 5 moves to the specified position on the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1, the pusher plate 5 tilts downward and causes the raw material on it to fall naturally.

[0019] In detail, the washing cylinder 1 is horizontal, the feed pipe 2 is installed at the top of one end of the washing cylinder 1, the discharge unit 3 is installed at the bottom of the other end of the washing cylinder 1, and the water spraying unit 4 is installed on the outer wall of the washing cylinder 1 and is used to spray water into the washing cylinder 1. In use, the raw material is continuously introduced into the washing cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 2, the water spraying unit 4 continuously sprays water, and the push plate 5 moves along the arc-shaped trajectory of the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1. When the push plate 5 moves from one side of its movement trajectory past the bottom of the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1 to the other side, the push plate 5 gathers water from the bottom of the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1. The collected raw materials are pushed along the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1, thereby raising the height of the raw materials. When the push plate 5 rises to the specified position, the push plate 5 tilts downward. At this time, the raw materials on the push plate 5 slide down naturally along the inclined surface of the push plate 5. The water spray unit 4 washes the scattered raw materials, thereby removing impurities from the surface of the raw materials and achieving the cleaning work of the raw materials. When the push plate 5 moves in the opposite direction, the push plate 5 lifts the raw materials again and scatters them. As the push plate 5 moves back and forth along the arc trajectory of the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1, the continuous scattering and rinsing work of the raw materials is achieved.

[0020] As the raw materials disperse, they also have a diffusion effect along the length of the washing cylinder 1. As the pusher plate 5 repeatedly pushes and disperses the raw materials, the raw materials will move along the length of the washing cylinder 1, so that the raw materials move from the feed pipe 2 toward the discharge unit 3. The cleaned raw materials can be discharged through the discharge unit 3. As the raw materials are continuously introduced into the washing cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 2, the continuous cleaning process of the raw materials is realized.

[0021] By moving the pusher plate 5 along the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1, the raw materials can be effectively pushed and scattered, allowing the scattered materials to fully contact the water flow, thus improving cleaning efficiency. This avoids mutual obstruction between materials, facilitating direct and effective cleaning of the materials using the water flow. Furthermore, this method increases the relative motion between the water flow and the materials, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Since the pusher plate 5 moves continuously back and forth inside the washing cylinder 1, it can continuously push and scatter the materials, enabling repeated cleaning. The equipment can continuously feed materials and continuously scatter and rinse them through the reciprocating movement of the pusher plate 5, achieving continuous cleaning. In summary, this washing machine design effectively solves the problems existing in traditional cleaning methods, improves cleaning quality and efficiency, and is also more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0022] Furthermore, both ends of the cleaning cylinder 1 are rotatably provided with a central shaft 6, and a lever 7 is slidably provided on the central shaft 6, and the lever 7 moves in the radial direction along the central shaft 6; Among them, the axis of the central axis 6 is located in the middle of the vertical movement trajectory of the push plate 5, and the lever plate 7 is coplanar with the push plate 5.

[0023] In detail, when the central shaft 6 rotates, the central shaft 6 will move the push plate 5 through the dial plate 7, thereby providing power to the push plate 5. Since the push plate 5 needs to move along the arc trajectory of the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 1, the dial plate 7 can slide on the central shaft 6.

[0024] Since it is necessary for the push plate 5 to tilt downwards when it moves to a specified height, the axis of the central shaft 6 is set at the middle position of the vertical movement trajectory of the push plate 5. This allows the surface of the push plate 5 to coincide with the axis of the central shaft 6, and the push plate 5 to tilt automatically by utilizing the position of the central shaft 6 axis.

[0025] Furthermore, V-shaped guide grooves 8 are provided on both end walls of the inner side of the cleaning cylinder 1, and a sliding column 9 is slidably arranged in each V-shaped guide groove 8, with the sliding column 9 fixed on the push plate 5. The V-shaped guide groove 8 consists of two arc-shaped parts. When the sliding column 9 slides in the V-shaped guide groove 8, the push plate 5 always slides in contact with the arc-shaped inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 1.

[0026] In detail, by setting the V-shaped guide groove 8 and the sliding column 9, the push plate 5 can be easily guided, ensuring that the push plate 5 is always in contact with the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1 during movement, so as to realize the continuous and effective pushing of the raw materials by the push plate 5. Due to the guiding restriction of the V-shaped guide groove 8 and the sliding column 9, the push plate 7 can slide on the central shaft 6.

[0027] Furthermore, each central shaft 6 is equipped with a power structure, which is used to provide power to the central shaft 6; The power structure includes a first small wheel 10 and a large wheel 11 rotatably mounted on the cleaning drum 1, and a motor 12 fixed on the cleaning drum 1. The first small wheel 10 and the large wheel 11 mesh with each other. The output end of the motor 12 is provided with a second small wheel 13. A push-pull rod 14 is eccentrically provided on the second small wheel 13. The push-pull rod 14 is eccentrically connected to the large wheel 11.

[0028] In detail, the large wheel 11 has a larger diameter, while the first small wheel 10 and the second small wheel 13 have smaller diameters. When the motor 12 is running, it can drive the second small wheel 13 to rotate in a circular motion. The second small wheel 13 pushes the large wheel 11 to perform an arc-shaped reciprocating motion through the push-pull rod 14. That is, the large wheel 11 cannot rotate continuously in a circular motion. At this time, the large wheel 11 can drive the first small wheel 10 to rotate, and the first small wheel 10 drives the central shaft 6 to rotate.

[0029] Since the diameter of the first small wheel 10 is small and the diameter of the large wheel 11 is large, the swing of the large wheel 11 can bring the first small wheel 10 to a large angle of reciprocating swing, so that the push plate 5 can meet the requirement of its reciprocating motion along the arc trajectory of the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the water spray unit 4 includes two horizontal pipes 15, which are parallel to the cleaning cylinder 1. The line connecting the two horizontal pipes 15 is perpendicular to the length direction of the cleaning cylinder 1. The two horizontal pipes 15 are located on both sides of the cleaning cylinder 1 and are fixed to the cleaning cylinder 1. Multiple long openings 16 are provided between the horizontal pipes 15 and the cleaning cylinder 1. The multiple long openings 16 are arranged vertically, and the length direction of the long openings 16 is parallel to the length direction of the cleaning cylinder 1. The two horizontal pipes 15 are connected by a three-way pipe 17.

[0031] In detail, external water can be pumped into the two horizontal pipes 15 through the three-way pipe 17. The water in the two horizontal pipes 15 can be discharged through multiple long ports 16, thereby causing the water discharged from the two horizontal pipes 15 to impact each other. When the raw material is scattered, the raw material falls to the impact position of the water flow. In this way, the water discharged from the two horizontal pipes 15 is used to achieve a relative impact cleaning effect on the raw material, avoiding large displacement of the raw material in the horizontal direction when rinsing from one side. At the same time, the counter-rinsing can improve the cleaning effect.

[0032] Since the multiple long openings 16 on the horizontal pipe 15 are arranged vertically, the water discharged from the multiple long openings 16 on the two horizontal pipes 15 can have multiple impact points in the vertical direction, thus achieving the effect of multiple flushing of the raw materials.

[0033] Furthermore, a baffle 18 is provided on the end face of the push plate 5 facing the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 1, and the baffle 18 extends to the front and rear sides of the push plate 5.

[0034] In detail, when the push plate 5 moves, its upper baffle 18 will first move to the position of the long opening 16. At this time, the baffle 18 will block the long opening 16, thereby preventing the raw material on the push plate 5 from moving to the position of the long opening 16 and causing blockage. At the same time, it will prevent the water flow discharged from the long opening 16 from washing away the raw material on the push plate 5 before the push plate 5 moves to the loose material position.

[0035] Furthermore, the push plate 5 has multiple openings 19, and multiple guide plates 20 are provided at the lowest point of the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 1. The multiple guide plates 20 are arranged along the length of the cleaning cylinder 1, and the guide plates 20 are inclined in the direction away from the discharge unit 3.

[0036] In detail, when the push plate 5 moves, it can pass through the guide plate 20 normally through the notch 19, so the guide plate 20 will not affect the movement of the push plate 5. When the push plate 5 distributes the material, the material falls onto the inclined guide plate 20, and the guide plate 20 will guide the material, so that the material moves laterally towards the discharge unit 3, thereby facilitating the lateral movement of the material in the cleaning cylinder 1 and preventing the material in the cleaning cylinder 1 from accumulating near the feed pipe 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the discharge unit 3 includes a discharge pipe 21 installed at an incline on the washing cylinder 1 and a water collection hopper 22 installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 21. The water collection hopper 22 and the discharge pipe 21 are connected through multiple water leakage holes 23, and a drain pipe 24 is connected to the bottom of the water collection hopper 22.

[0038] In detail, the cleaned raw materials and water can flow naturally into the discharge pipe 21. The water in the discharge pipe 21 can enter the water collection hopper 22 through multiple water leakage holes 23 and be discharged through the drain pipe 24, while the raw materials are discharged naturally along the discharge pipe 21. The water leakage holes 23 can block the raw materials.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
