Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically a cleaning device for the production and processing of glutinous rice yam. Background Technology

[0002] Glutinous yam is a variety of yam known for its "soft and glutinous texture." It gets its name from its sticky and glutinous texture after cooking, resembling glutinous rice. Not only does it have an outstanding taste, becoming smooth and delicate after steaming or stewing, with a subtle sweetness, but it also lacks the coarse fibrous texture of ordinary yams. Its melt-in-your-mouth experience is perfect for the elderly and children. Furthermore, it is nutritious and has practical value, being rich in mucoprotein, starch, and various vitamins.

[0003] In the production and processing of glutinous rice yam, the harvested yams are first sieved to remove the soil and then washed with water by machine; then peeled and soaked in clean water to prevent oxidation; then cut into pieces and blanched to remove the astringent taste; then processed according to needs, such as drying or crushing; finally sorted and packaged to ensure safe storage.

[0004] The existing method of cleaning glutinous rice yam involves placing it on a conveyor belt and rinsing it with water. However, during use and observation, it was found that the side of the yam that is in contact with the conveyor belt is difficult to come into contact with the sprayed water, which reduces the cleaning effect.

[0005] Therefore, a cleaning device for the production and processing of glutinous rice yam is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: A cleaning device for processing glutinous yam, comprising a cleaning box, inside which a conveyor belt is installed; a transmission motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box; the conveyor belt is driven by the transmission motor; multiple mesh holes are opened on the surface of the conveyor belt; multiple fixed rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box; an adjusting cylinder is rotatably connected to the middle of each fixed rod; a worm gear is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting cylinder; an adjusting motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning box; a worm is fixedly connected to the output end of the adjusting motor; the worm and the worm wheel are correspondingly arranged; multiple cleaning nozzles are fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning box; a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning box; the cleaning nozzles and the water inlet pipe are connected; by adding a pair of adjusting cylinders, the adjusting cylinders driven by the worm gear can actively rotate after the glutinous yam is placed, while the passively rotating adjusting cylinders provide support and reduce resistance during rotation. This increases the comprehensiveness of the cleaning of the glutinous yam, allowing for faster cleaning after the glutinous yam enters the cleaning box.

[0008] Preferably, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box; a feeding plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor; the feeding plate is rotatably connected to the cleaning box; by adding the feeding plate, the glutinous rice yam can be guided when it is fed, so that the glutinous rice yam is received and guided by the feeding plate after leaving the conveyor belt, thereby increasing the guidance of the glutinous rice yam falling from the conveyor belt to the collection box. At the same time, the feeding plate can also adjust the feeding area, thereby increasing the adjustment of the feeding position during feeding.

[0009] Preferably, a drying pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning box; an air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the cleaning box; the drying pipe and the air inlet pipe are connected; the drying pipe is gradually smaller from top to bottom; by adding a drying pipe, water droplets on the surface of glutinous rice and yam can be quickly cleaned, and the shape of the drying pipe can increase the airflow velocity when the airflow is sprayed, thereby increasing the thrust of the airflow on the water droplets, so that they fall quickly.

[0010] Preferably, a pair of guide plates are fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning box; the guide plates are arc-shaped; by adding guide plates, the glutinous rice yam can be guided to enter the middle of the regulating cylinder more quickly when it is placed.

[0011] Preferably, a roller is rotatably connected to the surface of the guide plate; multiple rollers are arranged on the guide plate; by adding rollers, the rotation of the rollers can reduce the friction between the glutinous rice yam and the guide plate, thereby increasing the smoothness of the movement of the glutinous rice yam when it comes into contact with the guide plate.

[0012] Preferably, bristles are fixed to the surface of one side of the adjusting cylinder; multiple bristles are provided on the adjusting cylinder; by increasing the number of bristles, the cleaning of glutinous rice yam can be accelerated when turning it over, and the flexibility of the bristles can also reduce the impact when in contact with glutinous rice yam, and the adaptive deformation of the bristles themselves can fill the gap between the adjusting cylinder and glutinous rice yam.

[0013] The advantages of this invention are: 1. The cleaning device for processing glutinous rice yam according to the present invention, by adding a pair of adjusting cylinders, can actively rotate the adjusting cylinder driven by the worm gear after the glutinous rice yam is placed, and passively rotated adjusting cylinder provides support and reduces resistance during rotation. This increases the comprehensiveness of the cleaning of glutinous rice yam, and speeds up the comprehensive cleaning of glutinous rice yam after it enters the cleaning box.

[0014] 2. The cleaning device for processing glutinous rice yam according to the present invention can guide the glutinous rice yam during feeding by adding a feeding plate, so that the glutinous rice yam is received and guided by the feeding plate after leaving the conveyor belt, thereby increasing the guidance of the glutinous rice yam falling from the conveyor belt to the collection box. At the same time, the feeding plate can also adjust the feeding area, thereby increasing the adjustment of the feeding position during feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning device for processing glutinous rice yam includes a cleaning box 1, inside which a conveyor belt 11 is installed; a transmission motor 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box 1; the conveyor belt 11 is driven by the transmission motor 12; multiple mesh holes are opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 11; multiple fixing rods 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box 1; an adjusting cylinder 14 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixing rod 13; a worm gear 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting cylinder 14; an adjusting motor 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning box 1; the output end of the adjusting motor 16... A worm gear 17 is fixedly connected; the worm gear 17 and the worm wheel 15 are correspondingly arranged; multiple cleaning nozzles 18 are fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning box 1; a water inlet pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning box 1; the cleaning nozzles 18 and the water inlet pipe 19 are connected; during operation, before processing the glutinous rice yam, the transmission motor 12 is started to drive the conveyor belt 11, and then the water inlet pipe 19 is connected to the water pump to transmit water to the cleaning nozzles 18 for spraying. At the same time, the regulating motor 16 is started, which drives the worm gear 17 to rotate. When the worm gear 17 rotates... The worm gear 15 will rotate one side of the adjusting cylinder 14. At this time, a batch of glutinous rice yams of similar size can be put into the adjusting cylinder 14 one by one. When the glutinous rice yams enter the middle of the pair of adjusting cylinders 14, the adjusting cylinder 14 driven by the worm gear 15 will generate friction with the glutinous rice yams as it rotates. This friction will cause the glutinous rice yams to roll. At the same time, the glutinous rice yams will drive the other side of the adjusting cylinder 14 to rotate. When the adjusting cylinder 14 rotates, it will reduce the resistance of the glutinous rice yams rotating on the conveyor belt 11, thereby speeding up the tumbling of the glutinous rice yams. During the rolling, the water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 18 will mix with the glutinous rice yams. The surface of the yam is thoroughly cleaned. After the glutinous yam is placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 11, the rolling of the adjusting cylinder 14 causes the glutinous yam to rotate, making it tumble on the conveyor belt 11 so that each side comes into contact with the sprayed water source. By adding a pair of adjusting cylinders 14, the adjusting cylinders 14 driven by the worm gear 15 can actively tumble after the glutinous yam is placed, while the passively rotating adjusting cylinders 14 provide support and reduce resistance during rotation. This increases the thoroughness of the cleaning of the glutinous yam, and speeds up the cleaning of the glutinous yam after it enters the cleaning box 1.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a servo motor 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box 1; a feeding plate 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 2; the feeding plate 21 is rotatably connected to the cleaning box 1; during operation, before the glutinous rice yam reaches the other end of the conveyor belt 11 after cleaning, a collection box is placed at the bottom of the feeding plate 21. After the glutinous rice yam is removed from the conveyor belt 11, it will contact the feeding plate 21 and then move down along the surface of the feeding plate 21. After moving down, it will enter the collection box for collection by the guidance of the feeding plate 21. At the same time, the collection box can be used for collection. When there is excessive accumulation in certain areas, the tilt angle of the feeding plate 21 is adjusted by the servo motor 2, thereby changing the feeding position at the bottom of the feeding plate 21 and avoiding the accumulation area inside the collection box. By adding the feeding plate 21, the glutinous rice yam can be guided during feeding, so that the glutinous rice yam is received and guided by the feeding plate 21 after leaving the conveyor belt 11, which increases the guidance of the glutinous rice yam falling from the conveyor belt 11 to the collection box. At the same time, the feeding plate 21 can also adjust the feeding area, thereby increasing the adjustment of the feeding position during feeding.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a drying pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning box 1; an air inlet pipe 31 is fixedly connected to the middle of the cleaning box 1; the drying pipe 3 and the air inlet pipe 31 are connected; the drying pipe 3 gradually decreases in size from top to bottom; during operation, after the glutinous rice yam is rinsed by the cleaning nozzle 18, it moves to the bottom of the drying pipe 3. When the air inlet pipe 31 is connected to the hot air generator, the hot air is transmitted from the air inlet pipe 31 to the inside of the drying pipe 3 and finally sprayed onto the surface of the glutinous rice yam. At this time, the hot air blows away the water droplets remaining on the surface of the glutinous rice yam, accelerating the shedding of the water droplets. At the same time, when the airflow is sprayed out through the bottom of the drying pipe 3, the flow area decreases, increasing the gas velocity, thereby increasing the blowing force when the gas comes into contact with the glutinous rice yam; by adding the drying pipe 3, the water droplets on the surface of the glutinous rice yam can be cleaned quickly. At the same time, the shape of the drying pipe 3 can increase the flow velocity of the airflow when it is sprayed out, thereby increasing the thrust of the airflow on the water droplets, so that they fall quickly.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a pair of guide plates 4 are fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning box 1; the guide plates 4 are arc-shaped; during operation, when the glutinous rice yam is placed in sequence, it will come into contact with the guide plates 4. At this time, the guide plates 4 will guide the glutinous rice yam, moving the end of the glutinous rice yam towards the middle, thereby adjusting the movement trajectory of the end of the glutinous rice yam; by adding the guide plates 4, the speed at which the glutinous rice yam enters the middle of the regulating cylinder 14 can be accelerated when the glutinous rice yam is placed.

[0024] like Figure 4As shown, rollers 5 are rotatably connected to the surface of the guide plate 4; multiple rollers 5 are arranged on the guide plate 4; during operation, when the glutinous yam comes into contact with the guide plate 4, the rollers 5 will rotate, which will reduce the friction between the glutinous yam and the guide plate 4, thereby speeding up the movement; by adding rollers 5, the rotation of the rollers 5 can reduce the friction between the glutinous yam and the guide plate 4, making the movement of the glutinous yam smoother when it comes into contact with the guide plate 4.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, bristles 6 are fixedly attached to the surface of the adjusting cylinder 14 on one side; multiple bristles 6 are arranged on the adjusting cylinder 14; during operation, when the adjusting cylinder 14 rotates, it will drive the bristles 6 to rotate together. At the same time, when the bristles 6 come into contact with the glutinous yam, they will clean the surface of the glutinous yam, so that the mud on the surface of the glutinous yam is carried away by the bristles 6 and removed from the surface of the glutinous yam; by adding bristles 6, the cleaning of the glutinous yam can be accelerated when the glutinous yam is turned over. At the same time, the flexibility of the bristles 6 can also reduce the impact when in contact with the glutinous yam. The adaptive deformation of the bristles 6 themselves fills the gap between the adjusting cylinder 14 and the glutinous yam.

[0026] Working principle: Before processing the glutinous yam, the transmission motor 12 is started to drive the conveyor belt 11. Then, the water inlet pipe 19 is connected to the water pump to transmit water to the cleaning nozzle 18 and spray it out. At the same time, the regulating motor 16 is started. After the regulating motor 16 starts, it drives the worm gear 17 to rotate. When the worm gear 17 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 15 to rotate one side of the regulating cylinder 14. At this time, a batch of glutinous yams of similar size can be put into the regulating cylinder 14 one by one. When the glutinous yam enters the middle of the pair of regulating cylinders 14, the regulating cylinder 14 driven by the worm wheel 15 will rotate and generate friction with the glutinous yam. At this time, the friction will cause the glutinous yam to roll. The glutinous yam drives the regulating cylinder 14 on the other side to rotate. The rotation of the regulating cylinder 14 reduces the resistance of the glutinous yam on the conveyor belt 11, thus accelerating its tumbling. During this rotation, the water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 18 thoroughly cleans the surface of the glutinous yam. Thus, after the glutinous yam is placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 11, the rotation of the regulating cylinder 14 causes the glutinous yam to tumble on the conveyor belt 11, ensuring that each surface comes into contact with the sprayed water. Before the glutinous yam reaches the other end of the conveyor belt 11 after cleaning, a collection box is placed at the bottom of the discharge plate 21. After the glutinous yam detaches from the conveyor belt 11, it contacts the discharge plate 21 and then... The surface of the feeding plate 21 moves downward, and after moving downward, the material is guided into the collection box for collection. Simultaneously, if excessive accumulation occurs in certain areas of the collection box, the tilt angle of the feeding plate 21 can be adjusted by the servo motor 2, thereby changing the feeding position at the bottom of the feeding plate 21 and avoiding the accumulation area inside the collection box. After the glutinous rice yam is rinsed by the cleaning nozzle 18, it moves to the bottom of the drying tube 3. When the air inlet pipe 31 is connected to the hot air generator, hot air is transmitted from the air inlet pipe 31 into the drying tube 3 and finally sprayed onto the surface of the glutinous rice yam. At this time, the hot air blows away the water droplets remaining on the surface of the glutinous rice yam, accelerating the shedding of the water droplets. Simultaneously, as the airflow sprays out from the bottom of the drying tube 3... The reduced flow area increases the gas flow rate, thereby increasing the blowing force when the gas comes into contact with the glutinous yam. When the glutinous yam is placed in sequence, it will come into contact with the guide plate 4. At this time, the guide plate 4 will guide the glutinous yam, moving the end of the glutinous yam towards the middle, thereby adjusting the movement trajectory of the end of the glutinous yam. When the glutinous yam comes into contact with the guide plate 4, the roller 5 will rotate. When rotating, the friction between the glutinous yam and the guide plate 4 will be reduced, thereby speeding up the movement. When the adjusting cylinder 14 rotates, it will drive the brush bristles 6 to rotate together. At the same time, when the brush bristles 6 come into contact with the glutinous yam, they will clean the surface of the glutinous yam, so that the mud on the surface of the glutinous yam will be carried away by the brush bristles 6.
