Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of potato cleaning equipment, and in particular relates to potato rhizome cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Current sweet potato cleaning devices widely use screw push rods to convey and roll sweet potatoes. For example, the utility model patent with publication number CN221489006U discloses a potato cleaning and feeding device. The device comprises: a soaking tank, one end of which is provided with a feed hopper, a bottom wall of which is provided with a mud discharge port, and a dredging assembly for scraping away mud, a rolling cage rotatably connected in the soaking tank, one end of which is connected with the feed hopper, a spiral baffle is provided on the inner wall of the rolling cage, and the rolling cage is used to convey raw materials along the length direction of the soaking tank; a feeding assembly, comprising a guide cover, a spiral blade and a first high-pressure nozzle, one end of the guide cover is fixed to the end of the soaking tank away from the feed hopper and is connected with the inside of the soaking tank, the end of the guide cover away from the soaking tank is inclined upward to form a guide channel, a discharge hopper is provided at the top of the guide channel, the spiral blade is rotatably connected with the guide cover to convey the raw materials to the discharge hopper, and the first high-pressure nozzle is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide cover; a driving motor, and the driving motor is used to drive the rolling cage and the spiral blade to rotate. To realize the cleaning process.

[0003] However, after testing, it was found that the above patented product had some problems in application, which made the sweet potatoes easily damaged during the cleaning process. The reasons were analyzed as follows:

[0004] 1. The spiral push rod constantly contacts the surface of the sweet potato during rotation, especially during the pushing and tumbling process. High-frequency mechanical friction will gradually wear the sweet potato skin, causing damage or scratches on the skin. The contact point between the spiral blade and the sweet potato is relatively small, which can easily cause local pressure concentration, especially when the sweet potato is irregular in shape, some parts may be subjected to excessive pressure.

[0005] 2. When multiple sweet potatoes are pushed by the spiral push rod in the same cleaning tank, they will inevitably collide with each other. This collision will not only cause epidermal damage, but may also cause damage to the internal tissues, affecting the quality of the sweet potatoes. Under the action of the spiral push rod, the sweet potatoes may hit the wall of the cleaning tank or other fixed parts, further increasing the risk of damage.

[0006] 3. The speed of the auger is set too high, causing the sweet potatoes to experience too much tumbling and friction in a short period of time, which exceeds their tolerance range and causes the skin to peel or crack. Some cleaning devices are equipped with high-pressure nozzles to wash away the dirt on the surface of the sweet potatoes. However, if the water flow impact force is not set properly, especially when it works in conjunction with the auger, it may cause additional physical damage to the sweet potatoes.

[0007] 4. Sweet potatoes come in various shapes, including round, oval, and long, and in different sizes. The irregular shapes make them more likely to get stuck or be subjected to abnormal force under the action of the spiral push rod, making it easier for the sweet potatoes to be damaged during the cleaning process.

[0008] 5. After long-term use, the spiral push rod and other related parts may wear or age, such as the spiral blades becoming blunt and the sleeves becoming loose, which will affect the cleaning effect and increase the risk of sweet potato damage.

[0009] Based on this, it is also necessary to improve the structure of the potato cleaning and feeding device in the prior art so as to significantly reduce the damage rate of sweet potatoes during the cleaning process and improve the cleaning quality and efficiency. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that although the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, it does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. The specific structures and functional details disclosed herein are only used to describe the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be embodied in many alternative forms, and it should not be understood that the present invention is limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0054] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a potato root cleaning device is provided. Figures 1 to 4 One specific embodiment is shown.

[0055] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the potato root cleaning equipment includes: a body 1; a cleaning device 2, which is arranged on the body 1, and the cleaning device 2 is used to clean the material, and it has a relative feeding end and a discharging end; a transmission device 3, which is configured into two groups and respectively arranged on both sides of the cleaning device 2, and the transmission device 3 is used to smoothly transport the material; one group of the transmission devices 3 is arranged corresponding to the feeding end to introduce the material of the upstream process into the cleaning device 2; the other group of the transmission devices 3 is arranged opposite to the discharging end to transmit the cleaned material to the downstream process; a chassis 4, which is covered on the cleaning device 2, and the chassis 4 is provided with a flexible brush row 5, and the brush row 5 is arranged at the discharging end; a detection device, which is configured into at least two groups, so as to be able to detect the current material information of the feeding end and the discharging end respectively; and a controller, which is communicatively connected to the cleaning device 2, the transmission device 3 and the detection device, so as to control the working states of the cleaning device 2 and the transmission device 3 accordingly according to the current material information.

[0056] The materials (such as sweet potatoes) in the upstream process are smoothly transported to the feeding end of the cleaning device 2 through the first group of transmission devices 3 to prevent the materials from being damaged during the transmission process. When the materials approach the feeding end, the detection device located here starts to work, monitors the shape, size and surface condition of the materials in real time, and feeds this information back to the controller. The controller automatically adjusts the working parameters of the cleaning device 2 according to the detection results, such as water flow intensity, screw push rod 2312 speed, etc., so that the materials can effectively remove soil and impurities during the cleaning process without being damaged by excessive friction. By arranging a flexible brush row 5 at the outlet end of the chassis 4, a small amount of soil or impurities that may remain on the surface of the materials can be gently brushed off when the materials pass through, ensuring the quality of the final product. The cleaned materials are smoothly transmitted to the downstream process, such as packaging or further processing, through the second group of transmission devices 3. The entire transmission process also focuses on gentleness and stability to avoid secondary damage to the materials.

[0057] Through the above technical solution, the transmission device 3 adopts a soft design to avoid mechanical damage to the material during the transportation process. In particular, the transmission device 3 at the inlet and outlet ends can smoothly import and output the material, reduce the possibility of collision and friction, and protect the skin of the sweet potato from damage. The controller intelligently adjusts the cleaning parameters based on the real-time data provided by the detection device to ensure that each cleaning is in the optimal state, further reducing unnecessary physical damage. The potato root cleaning equipment can not only reduce the damage rate of sweet potatoes during the cleaning process, but also improve the cleaning quality and efficiency.

[0058] In an embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the cleaning device 2 includes: a water tank 21, which is arranged on the body 1; a cage, which is arranged in the water tank 21 and is used to contain materials, and a plurality of hollow holes are provided in the cage so that the materials can be immersed in the water of the water tank 21; a spiral pushing mechanism, which is arranged in the cage and is used to push the materials from the feed end toward the discharge end; a spiral push rod 2312 of the spiral pushing mechanism is covered with a flexible buffer pad; a cleaning component 22, including a plurality of groups of brushes 221 arranged in the water tank 21, the brushes 221 are arranged on a connecting shaft 222 and are connected to the water tank 21 through the connecting shaft 222; the brushes 221 are arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the cage so that the brushes 221 can sweep the materials in the cage; and a driving mechanism 23, which is transmission-connected to the brush 221 and is used to drive the brush 221 to rotate along its axial direction, and the driving mechanism 23 is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0059] The cage is arranged in the water tank 21 to contain the material, which can play the role of isolation and protection, so that the material can be cleaned in a relatively fixed area, and the material is prevented from floating freely in the water tank 21 or colliding with the wall of the water tank 21. There are multiple hollow holes in the cage, which allow water to flow freely, so that the material can be completely immersed in the water of the water tank 21, and it is convenient for the brush 221 to clean the surface of the material. The spiral push mechanism is arranged in the cage, which is used to push the material from the feed end to the discharge end, so that the material moves in an orderly manner in the water tank 21 to avoid accumulation or retention. The spiral push rod 2312 is coated with a flexible buffer pad to reduce the direct friction between the spiral push rod 2312 and the material, and reduce the damage caused by mechanical force. The flexible buffer pad is made of soft and durable materials, such as silicone or sponge, which has sufficient support force and will not scratch the surface of the material.

[0060] The cleaning assembly 22 includes a plurality of brushes 221, which can sweep the material in the cover so that each part can be fully cleaned. All brushes 221 are arranged on a connecting shaft 222 and are fixedly connected to the water tank 21 through the connecting shaft 222, so that the brushes 221 can rotate along the axis direction thereof as the connecting shaft 222 rotates, thereby achieving an all-round cleaning effect.

[0061] The driving mechanism 23 is connected to the connecting shaft 222 of the brush 221 through a transmission structure, and is responsible for driving the brush 221 to rotate along its axis. The driving mechanism 23 usually uses a motor or other power source to ensure that the brush 221 can work continuously and stably. The driving mechanism 23 is connected to the controller in communication, and intelligently adjusts the speed and direction of rotation of the brush 221 according to the current material information provided by the detection device. For example, when cleaning fragile sweet potatoes, the controller will reduce the speed of the brush 221 to reduce friction; when cleaning more solid potatoes, the speed can be appropriately increased to enhance the cleaning effect.

[0062] It should be noted that during the entire cleaning process, the rotation speed of the spiral propulsion mechanism disclosed in the present invention is very slow compared to the spiral blades in the background technology. The purpose of this is to enable the material to move relatively at a steady and slow speed, rather than to push the material to stir and clean quickly like the spiral blades in the background technology. In this way, the brush 221 inserted into the cage can brush off the dirt on the material, and as the material moves slowly, the position of the material changes relatively. At this time, the brush 221 can sweep other areas of the material to wipe off the residual mud and sand. After cleaning, the material is discharged from the output end to another group of transmission devices 3 through the spiral propulsion mechanism.

[0063] The specific working process of the cleaning device is as follows: when the material is completely immersed in water, the spiral push mechanism starts to work, driving the material to move from the feed end to the discharge end. The flexible buffer pad on the spiral push rod 2312 gently pushes the material forward, reducing the damage to the material caused by mechanical friction. At the same time, the drive mechanism 23 drives the brush 221 to rotate along its axial direction, and the brush 221 gently sweeps the surface of the material in the cage to effectively remove the attached dirt and impurities. Since the brushes 221 are arranged at intervals on the periphery of the cage, the material can be fully cleaned in a short time. A flexible brush row 5 is provided at the discharge end, which gently brushes away a small amount of dirt or impurities that may remain on the surface when the material passes by, thereby ensuring the quality of the final product.

[0064] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 23 includes: a motor, which is arranged on the body 1 and provides a power source for the entire driving structure; a driving member 231, which is configured as a plurality of driving members 231 arranged side by side and rotatably connected to the water tank 21 through a bearing, the driving members 231 are connected to the connecting shaft 222 one by one, and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the cage [arranged in an array, which can be a circular array or a path array (for example, only the lower part of the area is provided with a brush 221)], so that each brush 221 can rotate independently and synchronously, thereby achieving a uniform cleaning effect; a transmission wheel 232, which is configured as a plurality of driving members 231 arranged one by one, the transmission wheel 232 is coaxially connected to the driving member 231, and the adjacent transmission wheels 232 are meshed with each other; through the mutual meshing of the transmission wheels 232, all the brushes 221 can rotate synchronously, ensuring uniform cleaning of the material surface during the cleaning process, and avoiding local omissions or excessive cleaning. One end of the transmission member is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the driving member 231, and the other end is transmission-connected to one of the transmission wheels 232 or the driving member 231; when the motor rotates, the transmission member can drive the transmission wheel 232 to rotate, so that the brush 221 can roll and brush the material. This design enables the power of the motor to be efficiently transmitted to each transmission wheel 232, ensuring the coordinated operation of the entire driving structure. The design of the transmission member enables the driving structure to be compactly arranged, saving space, while ensuring transmission efficiency and improving the overall performance of the equipment.

[0065] Through the structural design of the driving mechanism 23, the potato root cleaning equipment can transmit power smoothly and reliably during the cleaning process, so that each driving component can drive the brush 221 to rotate evenly, thereby smoothly cleaning the material in the cage, which can not only reduce the damage rate of sweet potatoes during the cleaning process, but also improve the cleaning quality and efficiency.

[0066] In an embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the driving member 231 includes a positioning cylinder 2311 and a push rod 2312, and the positioning cylinder 2311 is provided with a flange 2313 to be sealed and connected to the water tank 21 to ensure that the water in the water tank 21 does not leak; one end of the positioning cylinder 2311 is coaxially connected to the bearing, and the other end is provided with a guide hole, and the guide hole is provided with a guide groove extending along its axial direction; the outer periphery of one end of the push rod 2312 is formed with a guide platform matching the guide groove, and is inserted into the guide hole; the other end of the push rod 2312 is connected to the connecting shaft 222; a linear driving member 231 is also provided in the water tank 21, and the linear driving member 231 is connected to the push rod 2312 to drive the movement along the axial direction in the guide hole and change the position of the connecting shaft 222 in the water tank 21. In this way, the push rod 2312 can be driven to move along the axial direction in the guide hole, thereby changing the position of the brush 221 on the connecting shaft 222 in the water tank 21, thereby cleaning different positions of different materials and removing mud or sand adhering to the surface.

[0067] Through the cooperation between the push rod 2312 and the positioning cylinder 2311, that is, the cooperation between the guide groove and the guide platform, the push rod 2312 can move smoothly along the axial direction in the guide hole. On the one hand, it can ensure the accuracy of power transmission and movement path, and on the other hand, it can reduce the interference between different brushes 221, thereby providing an efficient and reliable cleaning method and optimizing the cleaning effect.

[0068] In the present disclosure, at least two guide grooves are provided, and are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the guide hole, so that the push rod 2312 can move smoothly along the axial direction in the guide hole to avoid offset or jamming. The provision of multiple guide grooves can further enhance the stability of the push rod 2312 in the guide hole, avoid the offset or jamming problems that may be caused by a single guide groove, and ensure that the linear motion of the push rod 2312 is more stable and precise. In this way, the moving path of the push rod 2312 can be guided more accurately, the position deviation can be reduced, and the brush 221 can adjust the position more accurately to optimize the cleaning effect. In addition, multiple guide grooves can disperse the stress generated by the push rod 2312 during the movement process and reduce the pressure borne by a single guide groove, which can also better enable the brush 221 to stably clean materials with irregular shapes or different sizes, ensuring the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of cleaning.

[0069] The linear drive member 231 usually adopts an electric push rod 2312 or other forms of linear actuators, which can accurately control the position of the push rod 2312 to ensure that the height or angle of the brush 221 can be adjusted as needed to optimize the cleaning effect.

[0070] Furthermore, the cleaning device 2 also includes a limit plate, and both ends of the limit plate are fixedly connected to the water tank 21; the limit plate is provided with a plurality of through holes corresponding to the brushes 221, so that the deformed brushes 221 can pass through the through holes. In this way, the movement range of the brush 221 can be limited to prevent the brush 221 from being excessively deformed or damaged during the cleaning process. At the same time, it is also beneficial to make the dirt or sand adhering to the brush 221 fall off, and maintain appropriate tension and elasticity during operation, thereby improving the cleaning effect while protecting the brush 221 from damage.

[0071] In practical applications, the limit plate is usually made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or engineering plastics, to ensure its long-term stable working performance and reduce maintenance work. The coordinated work of the light rod, slider, push plate and limit plate, as well as the design of the through hole, ensures the precise adjustment and efficient cleaning of the brush 221, providing a new solution for cleaning potato tubers.

[0072] Furthermore, the edge of the through hole is formed into a rounded corner. The rounded corner design can reduce the friction between the brush 221 and the edge of the through hole, reduce the risk of the brush 221 being cut or damaged during the passage, and avoid premature wear of the brush 221 due to frequent friction. In this way, the rounded corner can more smoothly guide the movement path of the brush 221, reduce position deviation, and enable the brush 221 to adjust its position more accurately to optimize the cleaning effect.

[0073] In one embodiment provided by the present disclosure, a plurality of nozzles are provided in the water tank 21, and the nozzles have different spraying angles; the nozzles are connected to a water source. In this way, the material can be washed in all directions from different angles, improving the coverage and efficiency of the cleaning, especially when processing materials of irregular shapes or different sizes, the spraying parameters can be flexibly adjusted to ensure the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the cleaning. The dynamic adjustment capability of the nozzle structure enables the equipment to better adapt to different cleaning needs, enhancing the versatility and applicability of the equipment.

[0074] In actual application, the water flow direction and intensity of the nozzle can be dynamically adjusted according to the specific conditions of the material to achieve the best cleaning effect. For example, when cleaning fragile sweet potatoes, the water flow intensity of the nozzle can be reduced to reduce the impact on the material; while when cleaning firm potatoes, the water flow intensity can be appropriately increased to enhance the cleaning strength.

[0075] In a possible design, the chassis is provided with a far infrared ray generating device, so that the far infrared ray emitted by the far infrared ray generating device can have a certain thermal effect on the rhizomes of the potatoes, thereby inhibiting the activity of biological enzymes and reducing the metabolic activity of the potatoes, thereby achieving the technical effect of preserving the freshness.

[0076] In the present disclosure, the bottom of the water tank 21 is U-shaped or V-shaped, and a sand discharge hole is provided at the lowest point of the bottom surface, which helps to concentrate and discharge the silt and other impurities generated during the cleaning process. Compared with a flat bottom, the U-shaped or V-shaped bottom is more conducive to the natural sedimentation and concentration of silt, reducing the residual silt in the water tank 21.

[0077] In an embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the transmission device 3 includes: a mounting frame 31; a driving wheel 32, which is arranged at one end of the mounting frame 31; a driven wheel 33, which is arranged at the other end of the mounting frame 31; a transmission belt 34, which is wound around the outer circumference of the driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 33; and a driver 35, which is connected to the mounting frame 31 and is transmission-connected to the driving wheel 32 so as to drive the transmission belt 34 to move relative to the mounting frame 31; the driver 35 is transmission-connected to the controller.

[0078] The driver 35 of the transmission device 3 is connected to the controller, receives the instructions of the controller, and realizes precise speed and direction control. The driver 35 drives the driving wheel 32 to rotate, thereby transmitting power to the driven wheel 33 through the transmission belt 34, so that the transmission belt 34 moves relative to the mounting frame 31. The transmission belt 34 can carry and transmit materials, ensuring that the materials can smoothly enter the feed end of the cleaning device 2, and after cleaning, they are smoothly transported to the downstream process through the second group of transmission devices 3.

[0079] In one embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the bristle row 5 is spaced apart from the transmission device 3 to ensure that the bristle row 5 can perform the final auxiliary cleaning on the material after it leaves the cleaning device 2. Stop plates 6 are provided on both sides to limit the lateral movement of the material, ensuring that the material remains neatly arranged when passing through the bristle row 5, and preventing the material from deflecting or rolling during the cleaning process, thereby further improving the thoroughness of cleaning and the quality of the product.

[0080] Furthermore, stop plates 6 are provided on both sides of the bristle row 5 to limit the lateral movement of the material, ensuring that the material is neatly arranged when passing through the bristle row 5, and preventing the material from deflecting or rolling during the cleaning process. The design of the stop plate 6 improves the cleaning efficiency and quality, ensuring that each material can be fully cleaned for the second time.

[0081] In the present disclosure, the detection device is configured as at least one of an infrared range sensor, a laser displacement sensor and a radar, so as to provide high-precision data and ensure that the controller can adjust the cleaning parameters according to actual conditions. On this basis, the detection device also includes a camera. Specifically, the camera is configured as a CCD camera for capturing image information of the material. The CCD camera can provide high-resolution images to help identify the shape, color and surface condition of the material, and further optimize the cleaning process.

[0082] In the present disclosure, the controller is configured as a central processing unit (CPU).

[0083] In other embodiments, the controller may also be configured as a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
