Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preserved fruit processing equipment, and in particular relates to a preserved fruit processing, cleaning and air-drying integrated equipment. Background Art

[0002] Raisins, dried wolfberries, dried green plums, dried dates and most small-caliber fruits are air-dried as complete individuals. From the fresh flesh form, most of the water is removed by drying in the sun and air-drying, and then made into preserved fruits. At the same time, large-caliber fruits, such as rubber, apples, kiwis, peaches, plums, etc. are washed, sliced, and then dried in the sun to make preserved fruits.

[0003] When the fruit is prepared into preserved fruit, it can be washed in a fresh state to remove most of the dust and impurities left over from the picking and planting process. However, drying is a long process, and the dust will be re-contaminated during the drying process and adhere to the surface of the finished preserved fruit, which will reduce the taste of the preserved fruit and cause hygiene problems. High-quality preserved fruit can also be washed after drying. The purpose of washing preserved fruit is to remove dust and impurities attached during the drying process.

[0004] The existing method is to rinse with clean water, but the surface of the washed preserved fruit is stained with water, especially the surface of the preserved fruit has wrinkles after the water is reduced. The natural air drying method takes a long time and is prone to breed bacteria, causing local deterioration of the preserved fruit and affecting the quality. Therefore, the preserved fruit needs to be dried after washing to speed up the evaporation of the residual water in the preserved fruit washing.

[0005] Most of the existing preserved fruit processing cleaning equipment and drying equipment are drum structures, such as the equipment disclosed in patent publication numbers CN107307446A, CN206403150U, and CN220799956U. The preserved fruits are in a tumbling state in the cleaning and drying equipment. Although the cleaning and drying are relatively complete and thorough, the preserved fruits are prone to collision and extrusion with the inner wall of the drum and between the preserved fruits, resulting in damage to the surface of the preserved fruits and affecting the quality of the finished product. Although the crawler conveyor type cleaning and drying equipment can avoid the collision and extrusion of the preserved fruits, the cleaning and drying of the preserved fruits only exist on one side, which can easily lead to the problem of incomplete drying or low drying efficiency. Moreover, most of the existing preserved fruit processing cleaning and drying devices are independent equipment, and the preserved fruits need to be transferred to the drying equipment after cleaning, and the processing efficiency is low.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention prepares an all-in-one machine for processing, cleaning and air-drying preserved fruits, which not only improves the processing efficiency, but also reduces the probability of damage caused by collision and extrusion during the processing of preserved fruits. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated device for processing, cleaning and drying preserved fruits, which not only improves the processing efficiency, but also reduces the probability of damage caused by collision and extrusion during the processing of preserved fruits.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A preserved fruit processing, washing and air-drying integrated equipment comprises a rectangular parallelepiped housing, wherein the housing comprises left and right side panels, a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel and a rear panel, wherein the top panel is located at an opening side corresponding to the front panel and forms a feeding bin corresponding to the inside of the housing, a washing bin and a drying bin are sequentially formed between the left and right side panels corresponding to the inside of the housing, and the rear panel forms a discharge port; A conveyor belt is provided at the bottom of the washing bin and the drying bin. The conveyor belt is composed of a plurality of slats, which are parallel to each other and extend closely in sequence. The slats are slat structures, and support plates are fixed at the left and right side plates corresponding to the ends of the slats, which are used to support the lower sides of the ends of the slats. The slats are installed in an upward and downward floating manner corresponding to the support plates. A plurality of special-shaped rollers are installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt, and the plurality of special-shaped rollers are arranged along the length direction of the conveyor belt. The special-shaped rollers are rotatably installed on the side plates on both sides corresponding to the roller shafts. The ends of the roller shafts pass through the side plates and are installed with gears. The plurality of roller shafts are synchronously driven by a tooth chain to rotate in the same direction and synchronously with the special-shaped rollers, so that the conveyor belt floats in a corrugated shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom plate is recessed toward the midline and connected to a drainage groove, the drainage groove is consistent with the length direction of the shell, and the shell is inclined and supported by a support rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a rotating roller is arranged on the lower side of the slat for supporting and rolling on the special-shaped roller. Limiting holes are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the slat, and the support plate has a limiting rod correspondingly sleeved in the limiting hole, and the upper side of the slat is an arc-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, a branch pipe is installed at a position corresponding to the top plate of the washing bin, the branch pipe extends through the side plate and is connected to the same main pipe, and a water spray hole is provided on the branch pipe. An air distribution plate is installed at a position corresponding to the top plate of the drying bin, the air distribution plate is connected to a fan corresponding to the outside of the shell, and the air distribution plate is provided with air holes.

[0012] The side wall of the drainage trough is connected to an air collecting plate, and the air collecting plate is connected to the fan.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: since the conveyor belt is driven to make the preserved fruits continuously roll over on the upper side of the slats, the rinsing bin is rinsed more fully and the drying bin has a better drying effect. The rinse water flows down along the gaps between the slats and will not form residues on the conveyor belt, thus avoiding the problem that the preserved fruits cannot be dried quickly in some parts. The preserved fruits are moved by the floating of the conveyor belt, which reduces the severe collision and squeezing between the preserved fruits and the container, thereby reducing the probability of surface damage of the preserved fruits.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1-2As shown: A preserved fruit processing, cleaning and air-drying integrated equipment includes a rectangular shell, the shell has left and right side panels 11, a top panel 12, a bottom panel 13, a front end panel 14 and a rear end panel 15, the top panel 12 is at an open side corresponding to the position of the front end panel, and a feeding bin is formed corresponding to the interior of the shell, a washing bin and a drying bin are formed in sequence between the left and right side panels 11 corresponding to the interior of the shell, and the rear end panel 15 forms a discharge port; the interior of the shell is a channel structure, integrating the washing bin and the drying bin.

[0025] A conveyor belt is provided at the bottom of the washing bin and the drying bin. The conveyor belt is composed of a plurality of slats 2. The plurality of slats 2 are parallel to each other and are arranged closely in sequence. The slats 2 are a slat structure. Support plates 5 are fixed on the left and right side panels 11 corresponding to the end sides of the slats for supporting the lower side of the end sides of the slats 2. The slats 2 are installed in an upward and downward floating manner corresponding to the support plates 5. Unlike traditional rubber belts, the conveyor belt is a continuous structure composed of a plurality of slats 2 spliced ​​together. The slats 2 are arranged parallel to each other. The gap between the slats 2 is very small, about 5 mm. The length direction of the slats 2 extends horizontally, and the corresponding width is vertical, and can float in the vertical direction.

[0026] A plurality of special-shaped rollers 3 are installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt, and the plurality of special-shaped rollers 3 are arranged along the length direction of the conveyor belt. The special-shaped rollers 3 are rotatably installed on the side plates 11 on both sides corresponding to the roller shafts. The ends of the roller shafts pass through the side plates 11 and are installed with gears 31. The plurality of roller shafts are synchronously driven to rotate in the same direction and synchronously with the special-shaped rollers 3 through the toothed chain 32, so that the conveyor belt floats in a corrugated shape. The cross section of the special-shaped roller 3 is an egg-shaped structure, which is approximately elliptical. The bottom surface is a large-diameter arc, and the top surface is a small-diameter arc. There is an arc transition between the small arc and the large arc. The corresponding roller shafts are eccentrically set and close to one side of the large arc. The roller shafts are all located in the same horizontal plane. Both ends of the roller shafts pass through the side plates and rotate with the passing part of the side plates. The same end of the roller shaft extends out of the side plate and is sleeved and fixed with a gear 31. The plurality of gears 31 are sleeved with the same toothed chain 32 for driving.

[0027] The corresponding large arcs and small arcs between adjacent special-shaped rollers 3 are symmetrical up and down. When the large arc part of the special-shaped roller 3 supports the slat 2 during rotation, the corresponding conveyor belt forms a trough, and when it rotates to the corresponding raised small arc part of the special-shaped roller 3, the corresponding conveyor belt forms a peak. The coordinated cooperation of multiple special-shaped rollers 3 makes the conveyor belt surface present a corrugated shape of troughs and peaks. With the continuous changes of troughs and peaks, the upper side of the conveyor belt presents a phenomenon of unilateral movement of materials.

[0028] The front end of the conveyor belt corresponds to the front end plate 14. At the same time, the top plate 12 at this position is opened to form a feeding bin. The preserved fruits are placed on one side of the conveyor belt. As the special-shaped roller 3 rotates, the surface of the conveyor belt presents wavy fluctuations, causing the preserved fruits to move on the conveyor belt.

[0029] Since the conveyor belt is driven to make the preserved fruits continuously roll over on the upper side of the slats 2, the rinsing bin can be rinsed more fully and the drying bin can have a better drying effect. The rinse water flows down along the gaps between the slats 2 and will not form residues on the conveyor belt, thus avoiding the problem that the preserved fruits cannot be dried quickly in some parts. The preserved fruits are moved by the floating of the conveyor belt, which reduces the severe impact and squeezing of the preserved fruits and the container, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the surface of the preserved fruits.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown: the bottom plate 13 is concave toward the midline and connected with a drainage groove 4, which is consistent with the length direction of the shell, and the shell is inclined and supported by a support rod 16. The side of the shell corresponding to the front plate 14 is the high part, and the rear plate 15 is the bottom part, which is convenient for the sewage to penetrate the gap between the slats 2 after flushing and collect in the drainage groove 4, flow on one side, and at the same time help the preserved fruits to roll along the inclined angle on the conveyor belt.

[0031] like Figure 3-4 As shown: a roller 21 is arranged on the lower side of the slat 2, which is used to support the special-shaped roller 3 and roll on the special-shaped roller 3. A roller groove is opened on the lower side of the slat 2 for installing the roller, and the end side of the roller groove has an axial hole for installing the roller shaft. The diameter of the roller is basically consistent with the thickness of the slat, so that when the special-shaped roller rotates, the slat 2 can float up and down smoothly in the original position.

[0032] like Figure 5-6 As shown: both sides of the bottom of the slat 2 are provided with limit holes 22, and the support plate 5 is provided with a limit rod 51 sleeved in the limit hole 22, and the upper side of the slat 2 is an arc structure. It is used for the slat 2 to float and limit in the original position. The upper side of the slat 2 is a semicircular arc transition, which is used for the smooth rolling of the preserved fruit.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown: a branch pipe 61 is installed at the top plate position of the washing bin, the branch pipe 61 extends through the side plate 11 and is connected to the same main pipe 6, and a water spray hole is opened in the branch pipe 61. By increasing the water spray range through the branch pipe 61, the preserved fruits can be washed evenly over a large area.

[0034] An air distribution plate 7 is installed at the position of the drying chamber corresponding to the top plate 12, and a fan 72 is connected to the outside of the corresponding housing of the air distribution plate 7, and the air distribution plate 7 is provided with air holes 71. The fan 72 also has a heating device inside, which is used to heat the air and then send it into the drying chamber.

[0035] The side wall of the drainage trough 4 is connected to an air collecting plate 73, which is connected to the fan 72. It is used to recycle the air in the drying bin and transport it to the fan 72 for recycling. On the one hand, it promotes the unidirectional flow of airflow, and on the other hand, it reduces the power of the internal heating device of the fan 72.

[0036] This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present invention.
