Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and particularly to a vegetable pretreatment device integrating physical disturbance and water circulation. Background Art

[0002] In the processes of central kitchen, fresh-cut vegetable processing and fresh food distribution, vegetable washing, as an important pretreatment process, poses strict requirements on the cleanliness, integrity and processing efficiency of products. Especially when dealing with whole uncut leafy vegetables (such as lettuce, lettuce, baby cabbage, pakchoi, etc.), due to the layered and wrapped structure of the vegetables, the core part of the vegetables often becomes an accumulation area for impurities such as sediment, eggs, and pesticide residues. Most of the current vegetable washing equipment on the market inputs air into the air pipe at the bottom of the washing tank through an air pump, and the upward floating of microbubbles drives the water body to be disturbed, so as to physically peel and wash the vegetables soaked therein. However, there are still significant deficiencies in actual use, especially for whole uncut leafy vegetables. For example, the bubble disturbance is concentrated on the outer surface of the vegetables, it is difficult to penetrate the gaps between the leaves, and it is even more impossible to penetrate into the core structure. Since the natural floating path of the bubbles is in the vertical direction and lacks directional control, obvious cleaning blind areas exist in the core and base areas. The complex vegetable structure blocks the bubbles from entering, and the core area is usually a narrow space formed by multiple leaves wrapped around. When the bubbles rise, they are easy to escape from the periphery and cannot penetrate into the internal structure to complete the impurity peeling. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-9 , the present invention provides a technical solution for a vegetable pretreatment device integrating physical disturbance and water circulation. The detailed connection means are well-known techniques in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.

[0021] A vegetable pretreatment device integrating physical disturbance and water circulation includes: an upper base 1, a disturbing device 2, and a power mechanism 3.

[0022] A plurality of disturbing devices 2 are rotatably arranged on the upper base 1. The plurality of disturbing devices 2 are distributed in a plurality of annular structures with different diameters and are arranged in a concentric circle manner, so as to form a multi-ring disturbing layout inside and outside, for expanding the cleaning area and enhancing the disturbing uniformity. The power mechanism 3 is arranged on the upper base 1 to drive the rotation of the plurality of disturbing devices 2.

[0023] The upper base 1 includes: a fixed shell 11, a pressing cover 12, and an elastic member 13.

[0024] The fixed housing 11 is of a housing structure and is used to accommodate the rotating base tube 21 of the disturbance device 2 and part of the transmission mechanism. The gland 12 is arranged at an interval above the fixed housing 11, forming an installation cavity between the gland 12 and the fixed housing 11. The elastic member 13 is arranged in the outer edge area of the bottom surface of the gland 12 and is located between the gland 12 and the fixed housing 11, and is used to provide a reset elastic force after the gland 12 is stressed. Through the supporting action of the elastic member 13, while the gland 12 realizes the reset function, it maintains the sealing performance between the gland 12 and the fixed housing 11 to prevent external foreign matters from entering the device interior and affecting the motion stability.

[0025] The disturbance device 2 includes: a base tube 21, an air pipe 221, air holes 23, a pneumatic adjustment component 24, a connecting rope 25, a connecting pipe 26, and a one-way component 27.

[0026] The base tube 21 is rotatably arranged on the upper base 1 and is used as the main shaft structure of the entire disturbance component. An air inlet is arranged on the side wall of the base tube 21, and this air inlet is used to receive the compressed gas transported by the external air supply system and guide the gas into the cavity of the lower air pipe 221 connected thereto, so as to provide the gas source power required for jet disturbance. The air pipe 221 is connected to the bottom end of the base tube 21, and the outer wall of the air pipe 221 has a sandwich mechanism 222. The air pipe 221 is used to store gas and serve as the release path of the disturbance bubbles. A plurality of air holes 23 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the air pipe 221. The air holes 23 are used to release the gas pushed by the base tube 21 into the external water body, so as to form a floating micro-bubble disturbance effect to interfere with the gap area between vegetable leaves and peel off impurities. The pneumatic adjustment component 24 is arranged at the top end of the base tube 21, and the pneumatic adjustment component 24 is used to automatically supplement gas to the cavity of the outer wall of the air pipe 221 according to the bending state of the air pipe 221 to adjust its flexibility or rigidity. The bottom end of the connecting rope 25 is connected to the bottom end of the air pipe 221 and is used to generate a stretching action as the air pipe 221 is inserted or bent. The top end of the connecting rope 25 is connected to the pneumatic adjustment component 24 and drives the airbag 243 in the pneumatic adjustment component 24 to deform when subjected to a tensile force, so as to inject gas into the cavity of the outer wall of the air pipe 221 by compressing the airbag 243, realizing the improvement of disturbance rigidity. The connecting pipe 26 is connected to the pneumatic adjustment component 24 and the sandwich mechanism 222 of the air pipe 221. The connecting pipe 26 is used as a gas transmission path under the action of the gas pressure formed in the pneumatic adjustment component 24 to transmit the gas released from the airbag 243 to the outer wall sandwich mechanism 222 of the air pipe 221. The one-way component 27 is arranged between the top end of the connecting rope 25 and the upper base 1, and the one-way component 27 is used to ensure that the connecting rope 25 only drives the pneumatic adjustment component 24 to perform a one-way compression action in the upward stretching direction to prevent reverse rebound during the disturbance process.

[0027] The pneumatic adjustment component 24 includes: an upper pressure plate 241, a lower pressure plate 242, and an airbag 243.

[0028] The lower pressing plate 242 is arranged at the top end of the base tube 21 and serves as the bearing base of the air pressure regulating assembly 24, providing structural support for the upper airbag 243. The upper pressing plate 241 is arranged at an interval above the lower pressing plate 242, forming a limited space therebetween. The space is used to accommodate the compressible airbag 243 and limit its maximum expansion range. The connecting rope 25 is slidably connected to the lower pressing plate 242 and fixedly connected to the upper pressing plate 241. The airbag 243 is arranged between the lower pressing plate 242 and the upper pressing plate 241 and is a hollow compressible flexible cavity structure. When the connecting rope 25 generates a tensile force due to the bending of the air tube 221 during the disturbance process, the airbag 243 is deformed and compressed under the action of the tensile force, and injects gas into the cavity of the air tube 221 through the connecting tube 26, realizing the dynamic adjustment of the disturbance rigidity. Preferably, the airbag 243 is made of silica gel or TPU film material and has good resilience and pressure resistance performance.

[0029] Each group of disturbance devices 2 formed in a circular distribution is correspondingly provided with an independent power mechanism 3 to drive all the disturbance devices 2 within the ring to achieve synchronous reciprocating rotation. The power mechanism 3 includes: a motor 31, an auxiliary wheel 32, a gear 33, and a synchronous belt 34.

[0030] The gear 33 is coaxially and fixedly arranged on the base tube 21 of each disturbance device 2 and is used to receive the rotational torque from the synchronous belt 34. The synchronous belt 34 is sleeved on a plurality of gears 33, thereby forming the linkage synchronous rotation between the disturbance devices 2 in the same circle. The auxiliary wheel 32 is installed on the fixed shell 11 of the upper base 1 and is in close contact with the outer wall of the synchronous belt 34, and is used to provide the tension force required for the synchronous belt 34 to prevent the synchronous belt 34 from slipping or loosening during the transmission process. The motor 31 is also installed on the fixed shell 11, and its drive shaft is coaxially connected to the auxiliary wheel 32 and is used to indirectly drive the synchronous belt 34 to operate through the auxiliary wheel 32, thereby driving the disturbance devices 2 within the circle to achieve synchronous reciprocating disturbance.

[0031] The one-way component 27 includes: a one-way rod 271, a fixed ring 272, a dial 273, a reset block 274, and a plug rod 275.

[0032] The one-way rod 271 is arranged at the top of the connecting rope 25 and is used to transmit the pulling action of the connecting rope 25 to the locking structure to realize the one-way locking function, so as to keep the airbag 243 in its compressed state after being compressed. Under the restriction of the upper pressing plate 241 and the lower pressing plate 242, the axial movement path of the connecting rope 25 is controlled between the upper pressing plate 241 and the lower pressing plate 242, ensuring that the connecting rope 25 always moves linearly along the axis direction of the base tube 21 when being pulled, preventing the movement failure caused by shaking or yawing. The movement direction of the one-way rod 271 is collinear with the axis of the base tube 21, that is, when the one-way rod 271 is subjected to tensile or reset action, its displacement direction is strictly along the central axis direction of the disturbance device 2, which is convenient for the insertion, matching and maintaining accuracy of the locking structure. A number of annular grooves are arranged on the outer wall of the one-way rod 271, and the grooves are arranged at intervals along its axis direction and are used to form mechanical clamping points with the ends of the sliders 273. When the sliders 273 are reset, they can be accurately clamped into any groove to form a stable axial position restriction. The fixing ring 272 is arranged on the top surface of the fixing shell 11 and is used to support and position the sliders 273. The fixing ring 272 is a circular ring structure and constitutes an outer constraint frame for the movement path of the one-way rod 271. The one-way rod 271 is located on the axis of the fixing ring 272, ensuring that when the one-way rod 271 passes through the fixing ring 272, its movement trajectory forms a perpendicular staggered structure with the slider 273 assembly, so as to realize accurate clamping and unlocking operations. The sliders 273 are rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the fixing ring 272 and can be rotated around the rotation point through the pin shaft arrangement. The free end of the sliders 273 corresponds to the grooves of the one-way rod 271 and can be rotated into or out of the grooves at a specific time to realize the locking or releasing action. The reset block 274 is arranged between the sliders 273 and the inner wall of the fixing ring 272. The reset block 274 is usually an elastic body, such as a spring, a silicone gasket, etc., and is used to automatically push the sliders 273 back to the clamping position after the external force is released, realizing the automatic locking function and avoiding accidental unlocking caused by the reverse displacement of the one-way rod 271. The insertion rod 275 is arranged on the bottom surface of the gland 12, and its end faces the slider 273 structure. When the gland 12 is manually pressed down, the insertion rod 275 can contact the sliders 273 as a driving part to perform the manual unlocking process. The position of the insertion rod 275 corresponds to the position of the sliders 273, and the movement direction of the insertion rod 275 during the pressing process matches the movement direction of the sliders 273, ensuring that the insertion rod 275 can accurately press the free end of the sliders 273 and push it out of the groove to realize the structure unlocking.

[0033] A number of fixing brackets 28 are provided inside the trachea 221. The connecting rope 25 is arranged along the axis of the trachea 221 via the number of fixing brackets 28, which is used to always limit the path of the connecting rope 25 in the direction of the central axis of the trachea 221, ensuring that it generates the maximum axial displacement when the trachea 221 bends. Through this structure, the lateral yaw of the connecting rope 25 inside the trachea 221 can be avoided, preventing the reduction of the tensile amount due to deviation from the axis, and thus the situation where the airbag 243 cannot be effectively pulled and compressed may occur. This design can significantly improve the sensitivity of the disturbance response and the reliability of the air pressure adjustment action, ensuring that after the bending occurs, the connecting rope 25 can fully play the pulling role and initiate the rigid adjustment process in a timely manner.

[0034] A number of air holes 23 are asymmetrically distributed in the circumferential direction of the trachea 221, and the diameter of at least one side of the air holes 23 is larger than that of the other side. That is, the air holes 23 are not evenly arranged along the entire circumference, but are concentrated on one side or a specific angular region of the trachea 221 to form an asymmetric jet force distribution, thereby generating a directional disturbance effect in water. And the diameter of at least one side of the air holes 23 is larger than that of the other side. By adjusting the aperture difference, the left and right jet forces are uneven, so that the trachea 221 generates a slight swing due to the difference in the reaction force during the jetting process, increasing the disturbance range, and at the same time avoiding the concentrated escape of bubbles, improving the disturbance uniformity and depth.

[0035] When the base tube 21 injects gas into the trachea 221, the trachea 221 maintains an axially straight state under the action of air pressure. At this time, the connecting rope 25 is in a tensioned state. That is, in the initial stage of equipment operation or the preparation stage of insertion, the external gas supply source injects gas into the hollow cavity of the trachea 221 through the air inlet of the base tube 21. The trachea 221 maintains an axially straight state under the action of air pressure. Since the cavity of the middle trachea 221 is filled with gas, its outer wall is pushed open by the air pressure, forming a columnar body with a certain stiffness. At this time, the connecting rope 25 is in a tensioned state, that is, the rope body is driven to be straightened due to the straightening of the trachea 221 and is in a slightly stretched state, providing an initial tension basis for triggering the air pressure adjustment component 24 during subsequent disturbances.

[0036] The air pressure setting of the base tube 21 is used to keep the trachea 221 in a preliminary upright state to provide a basic insertion force, while the air pressure adjustment component 24 replenishes gas to the cavity of the trachea 221 by compressing the airbag 243, which is used to increase the rigidity of the trachea 221 when the contact resistance of the vegetables is large, so as to achieve effective insertion while ensuring that the softness of the trachea 221 does not damage the vegetables.

[0037] The swing angle formed by the trachea 221 jetting air through the air holes 23 is less than the trigger angle threshold required to pull the connecting rope 25. That is, although the jetting air causes the trachea 221 to deflect slightly left and right, this angle is not sufficient to cause axial displacement or tension of the connecting rope 25, so as to avoid triggering the air pressure regulating component 24 in the early stage of disturbance or when not in contact with the vegetables, and to enhance the rigidity of the trachea 221 in advance, thus ensuring a reasonable rhythm in the disturbance process, inserting first and then enhancing, and protecting the vegetable structure from being accidentally damaged.

[0038] The power mechanism 3 is used to drive the disturbance device 2 to rotate reciprocally within a set angle range, and the angle range is 30° to 90° on both the left and right sides. The reciprocating rotation structure can effectively avoid problems such as torsion and entanglement of the connecting rope 25, improve the overall structural stability, reduce the risk of component wear and failure, the adjustable range of the reciprocating angle is flexible, and the disturbance action can be completed with a low-power drive, reducing the system energy consumption and overload risk.

[0039] It also includes: an electric telescopic rod and a circulation device 5. The circulation device 5 is located directly below the upper base 1, and the two are connected by the electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod can be used to control the trachea 221 to move into the inner cavity of the circulation device 5.

[0040] The circulation device 5 includes: an outer barrel 51, a water outlet 52, a water delivery seat 53, an inner barrel 54, a bottom hole 55, and an auxiliary component 56.

[0041] The outer barrel 51 is a barrel-shaped structure with an open top, usually a cylindrical or polygonal barrel body. Its main function is to form an outer constraint space for water circulation. At the top of the annular outer wall of the outer barrel 51, there are several water outlets 52, which are used to lead out the circulating water from the upper part under the action of water body disturbance or the drive of a water pump, so as to realize the circulating upward flow of the water body, and thus cooperate with the bubble disturbance to bring out dirt from the surface and gaps of vegetables. The water inlet end of the water delivery seat 53 extends to the outside of the outer barrel 51, which is convenient for connecting an external water pump, water tank or water supply pipeline to realize the continuous injection and reflux circulation of the water body. The outer diameter of the water delivery seat 53 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer barrel 51, and an annular gap is formed between it and the inner wall of the outer barrel 51. An auxiliary component 56 is arranged in the gap. When the water flows from the water delivery seat 53 into the inner cavity of the outer barrel 51, it guides the water body to generate a rotational flow along the inner wall of the outer barrel 51 to form a stable eddy current structure, and during the process of the water body flowing through, gas is injected at intervals to realize the periodic release of bubbles in the rotational water flow, forming an intermittent disturbance area and a gas-water mixing area, enhancing the disturbance rhythm and improving the cleaning dead angle. The input flow rate of the water delivery seat 53 matches the discharge flow rate of the water outlet 52, so that the water surface height inside the outer barrel 51 remains stable during the operation of the device. The inner barrel 54 is used to carry the whole leafy vegetables to be cleaned. Its internal is a cavity structure with an open top, which is convenient for the operator to stack the vegetables from top to bottom in the inner barrel 54 in sequence. The vegetables are oriented in the same direction during the placement process, and the open end faces upward, which is beneficial for the disturbance structure (such as the inserted air pipe 221) to enter the inside of the vegetable leaves from the top to realize deep disturbance and cleaning. The inner barrel 54 is provided with bottom holes 55 to realize water penetration, and is detachably connected to the water delivery seat 53, which is convenient for overall handling. After the cleaning preparation or completion, the operator can directly carry, load or remove the whole barrel of vegetables together with the inner barrel 54 body, realizing the centralized loading and unloading of vegetables, improving the processing efficiency, reducing the number of manual intervention operations, and being suitable for the scenarios of assembly line or batch fresh-cut vegetable processing.

[0043] The base 561 is arranged on the bottom surface of the outer barrel 51, serving as the mounting base and bearing platform of the entire auxiliary assembly 56, and is located between the outer barrel 51 and the inner barrel 54, that is, the base 561 is in the inner cavity area of ​​the outer barrel 51, but is located in the outer annular area at the bottom of the inner barrel 54, and is independently arranged without affecting the placement and cleaning path of the inner barrel 54. The base 561 is an annular structure, providing space support for rotating parts such as the drive ring 563 and the auxiliary ring 566. The top of the base 561 is an open structure for accommodating and installing the drive ring 563 assembly. The gas enters the base 561 cavity through the annular outer wall of the base 561, forms a tangential flow in the annular channel, and is discharged through the inner wall of the base 561. The bottom surface of the base 561 A plurality of first through holes 562 are provided, and the first through holes 562 are evenly distributed in the inner cavity area below the base 561, and cooperate with the second through holes 567 on the auxiliary ring 566 to form an air control path. During the rotation process, the first through holes 562 can be matched, aligned or staggered with the second through holes 567 of the auxiliary ring 566, so as to realize air flow conduction and intermittent adjustment. The driving ring 563 is rotatably arranged at the top of the base 561, and a plurality of first blades 564 are arranged on the bottom surface of the driving ring 563 and are located in the base 561. The blades with inclined angles arranged along the circumferential direction are used to receive the tangential airflow of the gas passing through the inner cavity of the base 561, and form an annular thrust after being subjected to force, so as to directly drive the driving ring 563 to realize continuous rotation. The second blades 565 are arranged on the driving ring 563 The top surface of the second blade 565 is arranged toward the cleaning chamber area to drive the cleaning water to form a vortex disturbance, cooperate with the insertion disturbance structure or the gas injection process to enhance the cleaning kinetic energy and the disturbance of the vegetable gaps, the auxiliary ring 566 is connected to the bottom end of the plurality of circumferentially arranged first blades 564, the auxiliary ring 566 is fitted to the inner bottom surface of the base 561, and a second through hole 567 is opened on the auxiliary ring 566, the second through hole 567 corresponds to the first through hole 562, and the fitting structure is a sliding contact sealing structure, so that the auxiliary ring 566 and the base 561 can be rotatably matched and prevent gas leakage, while allowing the first through hole 562 and the second through hole 567 to pair up, and the outer wall of the base 561 is provided with an air inlet pipe 568, which is a gas The source inlet channel is connected to an air pump or a compressed air system to inject gas into the base 561 cavity for subsequent driving rotation and intermittent gas injection functions. The first air outlet pipe 569 is connected between the first through hole 562 and the water delivery seat 53. The air outlet passage is used to conduct part of the gas from the inside of the base 561 through the first through hole 562, the second through hole 567, and the first air outlet pipe 569 when the first through hole 562 and the second through hole 567 are aligned, and finally injected into the water flow of the water delivery seat 53 to form a rhythmic bubble release. The second air outlet pipe 5610 is connected to the inner wall of the base 561, and the second air outlet pipe 5610 extends out of the outer barrel 51 from the far end of the base 561, which is used to guide excess airflow or pressurized gas not used for rotation to be discharged to the outside.

[0044] In addition, the water outlet 52 located at the top of the outer barrel 51 is used to discharge the rotating and rising water flow. After pre-treatment such as filtration, sedimentation or impurity separation, the water body can be guided by the return water pipe to circulate back to the water delivery seat 53, forming a closed water circulation path, so as to achieve the purpose of water conservation, high efficiency and continuous operation. The above-mentioned filtration and reflux system can be realized by using a conventional water treatment device, which is not shown in the figure.

[0045] Working principle: The vegetable pretreatment device integrating physical disturbance and water circulation provided by the present invention, during operation, uses the electric push rod 4 as the core lifting mechanism, and the upper base 1 together with the disturbance devices 2 form an integrated lifting structure. Driven by the electric push rod 4, the upper base 1 can accurately control the lifting stroke in the vertical direction, so that the multiple disturbance devices 2 installed thereon are lowered as a whole to the position of the inner barrel 54 in the circulation device 5, so as to achieve the spatial coordination between the disturbance structure and the vegetables to be cleaned. This setting ensures the accurate insertion of the air pipe 221, and facilitates the height adaptation between different batches or different specifications of vegetables; after the device is started, the electric push rod 4 first lowers the upper base 1 and its disturbance components to the preset working height, and the air pipe 221 reciprocates at a set angle driven by the power mechanism 3, and the gas is injected by the base pipe 21, so that the air pipe 221 maintains an initial straight state in the axial direction, and has the ability to be inserted. The air pipe 221 is a sandwich structure 222, and its outer wall is provided with asymmetrically distributed air holes 23. The initial jet forms a directional disturbance, causing the air pipe 221 to produce a slight deflection in the water, which is helpful for opening the blade gap and the disturbance pilot. When the air pipe 221 is inserted into the vegetable structure and encounters local vegetable heart resistance, its body bends, and the internal connecting rope 25 is stretched accordingly, triggering the air pressure regulating component 24 located at the top of the base pipe 21 to act; the connecting rope 25 pulls the upper pressure plate 241 to compress the air bag 243. In the compressed state, the air bag 243 replenishes gas to the sandwich structure 222 of the air pipe 221 through the connecting pipe 26, thereby further improving the rigidity of the air pipe 221 and realizing the state transition from flexible introduction to rigid penetration. This adaptive rigidity adjustment mechanism ensures the penetration of the disturbance effect, while preventing the vegetable structure from being hit or torn prematurely; the circulating cleaning structure coordinated with it works at the same time. The water delivery seat 53 injects clean water into the outer barrel 51 at a constant flow rate. After being guided by the auxiliary component 56, the water flows along the barrel wall to form a spiral water flow that rotates and rises, and is discharged through the top water outlet 52 to form a water body circulation under a stable water level. Vegetables are put into the inner barrel 54 through the top and placed together. The disturbance device 2 is directly above it, and deep cleaning is completed with the air-water disturbance. The base 561 in the auxiliary component 56 constitutes an air-driven disturbance platform. The gas enters from the outer ring of the base 561, and after forming a tangential circulation inside, it is ejected from the inner wall area of ​​the base 561, impacting the first blade 564 set at the bottom of the drive ring 563, causing the drive ring 563 to rotate, driving the second blade 565 to disturb the water.The driving ring 563 simultaneously links the auxiliary ring 566 to rotate. The second through hole 567 on the auxiliary ring 566 is periodically aligned or staggered with the first through hole 562 on the base 561 during rotation, forming a physical on-off control, so that part of the gas in the base 561 is intermittently injected into the water flow of the water delivery seat 53 through the first air outlet pipe 569, forming a rhythmic bubble disturbance zone; the remaining gas is discharged from the second air outlet pipe 5610 to maintain the system pressure balance; during the whole process, the electric push rod 4 controls the lifting position of the disturbance device 2, the power mechanism 3 drives the disturbance device 2 to swing, the air pressure regulating component 24 realizes rigid switching, the auxiliary component 56 builds a gas-water coordinated disturbance field, the inner barrel 54 carries vegetables in a concentrated manner, and the outer barrel 51 maintains a stable water level and completes the water circulation. The various systems work together to complete the automatic insertion disturbance of vegetables, rhythmic bubble release, deep peeling of vegetable hearts and overall efficient cleaning without the intervention of electronic sensors. The structure is simple and reliable, and it is suitable for high-standard cleaning scenarios such as clean vegetable processing and central kitchens.
