Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of can body processing equipment, in particular to a raw material cleaning equipment for can processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the industrialized production of bean cans, raw material cleaning is one of the key processes. During the harvesting and transportation of bean raw materials such as soybeans and green beans, light impurities such as fennel, skin scraps, and dust are often carried. These impurities will float on the water surface during the cleaning process due to their small density. If not removed in time, it will not only affect the cleaning quality of the beans, but also may contaminate the products in the subsequent processing, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the cans.

[0003] In the traditional bean cleaning process, the light impurities floating on the water surface are usually treated by manual fishing. However, this method has the following defects: Firstly, the efficiency is low: manual fishing requires a lot of manpower, and the operation speed is limited by the frequency of manual operation, which is difficult to match the continuous operation demand of the industrialized production line, resulting in a significant reduction in overall production efficiency. Secondly, the cost is high: a large number of operators are needed in large-scale production, increasing the labor cost, and the consistency of manual operation is poor, making it difficult to ensure the stability of impurity removal. Finally, the degree of automation is low: manual fishing cannot be integrated with automatic cleaning equipment, hindering the upgrading of the production line to full automation, which does not meet the development trend of modern food processing efficiency and intelligence.

[0004] Some existing cleaning equipment attempts to assist in removing residues through mechanical structures, but due to the uneven distribution of impurities and the floating state being easily affected by water flow during bean cleaning, such structures are difficult to efficiently and completely remove floating residues, and may be affected by mechanical part blockage, affecting the cleaning process. In addition, the traditional equipment lacks targeted design for floating residue discharge, and cannot realize automatic collection and treatment of impurities, still requiring manual intervention, and has not fundamentally solved the efficiency problem.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a raw material cleaning equipment for can processing that can realize efficient cleaning of bean raw materials and automatic removal of light impurities, avoid the disadvantages of manual fishing, and improve the automation degree and production efficiency of the production line. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a raw material cleaning equipment for can processing, which can realize efficient cleaning of bean raw materials and automatic removal of light impurities, avoid the disadvantages of manual fishing, and improve the automation degree and production efficiency of the production line.

[0007] The present application adopts the following technical solutions: A kind of raw material cleaning equipment for canning, including support frame, the support frame is provided with cleaning bin, the top of the cleaning bin is provided with feeding opening and water inlet, the bottom of the cleaning bin is provided with discharge port;The cleaning bin is provided with motor-driven cleaning paddle, the side of the cleaning bin is provided with dross discharge channel, the dross discharge channel is connected with discharge pipe, wherein the dross discharge channel and the discharge port are provided with valve;The discharge port is connected with material conveying mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning paddle includes a rotating shaft, and a plurality of cleaning brush rollers are arranged on the rotating shaft at intervals.

[0011] Preferably, the discharge pipe is vertically arranged on one side of the cleaning bin, and the dross discharge channel is arranged downward relative to the cleaning.

[0012] Preferably, the dross discharge channel is arranged at intervals.

[0015] Preferably, a liquid collecting hopper is arranged on the support frame below the liquid discharge port, the outlet of the discharge pipe is in communication with the liquid collecting hopper, and a valve is arranged on the bottom of the liquid collecting hopper.

[0016] Preferably, a second screw conveyor is connected with the feeding opening, and a storage hopper is connected with the bottom of the second screw conveyor.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are: the present application can direct disturbance of the bean raw materials by the motor-driven cleaning paddle arranged in the cleaning bin, and the light impurities such as burdock and skin scraps entrained by the water flow can float to the liquid surface due to the density difference, avoiding the impurities adhering to the surface of the beans or mixing with them. Compared with the problem of incomplete removal of impurities during traditional manual salvage, the disturbance mechanism can systematically separate the impurities from the beans, significantly improve the cleaning efficiency and cleanliness, and fundamentally reduce the pollution risk of impurities to subsequent canning processing.

[0018] The scum discharge channel arranged on the side is in communication with the residue discharge pipe, and when the impurities float to the liquid surface, the automatic collection and discharge of the scum can be realized by opening the valve, completely abandoning the inefficient operation of manual salvage. This design reduces the dependence of the production line on manual labor, reduces labor costs, and avoids the efficiency fluctuations caused by fatigue or action frequency limitations of manual operation, ensuring the stability and continuity of impurity removal, and adapting to the needs of industrialized continuous production.

[0019] Unlike the traditional mechanical residue removal structure which is prone to blockage due to uneven distribution of impurities, the present equipment makes the impurities concentrate and float by directional disturbance, and in combination with the targeted design of the scum discharge channel, the impurities can be smoothly discharged, reducing the risk of mechanical part jamming and prolonging the service life of the equipment. Without the need for frequent manual cleaning of blocked parts, the stability and production efficiency of the equipment operation are further improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
