Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a food raw material cleaning device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, meat cleaning is an essential and crucial step in ensuring food hygiene, safety, and product quality. Meat is rich in nutrients such as protein and fat, but its surface and interior are often covered with blood, hair, dirt, blood clots, and other impurities. If these impurities are not thoroughly removed, they will not only severely affect the taste and flavor of meat products but also lead to substandard cleanliness, potentially posing a health hazard. Therefore, before meat production and processing, it is essential to perform thorough and effective cleaning to ensure the cleanliness of the meat to be processed.

[0003] Traditional meat cleaning methods mostly rely on manual labor. Workers place a suitable amount of meat into a washing tub and use brushes to scrub the surface to remove dirt. Blood in the meat is usually removed by rinsing, followed by manual rubbing to accelerate blood removal. This manual cleaning method not only requires a large investment of manpower and is inefficient, but also results in dirt removed by the brushes remaining in the washing water and easily re-adhering to the meat surface, leading to incomplete cleaning. To improve meat cleaning efficiency, electric washing devices are now more commonly used.

[0004] However, some existing devices can only perform simple stirring and rinsing, and are difficult to effectively remove stubborn stains such as blood and hair contained in meat; at the same time, during the cleaning process, the accumulation of meat can make it difficult to clean the internal dirt thoroughly, affecting the cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, both the conveyor belt and the support member are provided with several drainage holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the cleaning tank is connected to two scrapers, one of which is located below the first conveying assembly and the other is located below the second conveying assembly; the scrapers are used to scrape off debris from the conveyor belt.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting pipe is connected between the two scrapers, the connecting pipe is connected to the water supply device, and several high-pressure nozzles facing the scrapers are connected to both sides of the connecting pipe. A switch valve is provided at the connection point between the connecting pipe and the water supply device.

[0013] Furthermore, the water supply device includes a water tank, the water spray assembly includes a water pipe disposed above the cleaning assembly, and a plurality of nozzles are connected to the water pipe along its length; the cleaning tank is equipped with a gear pump, the drive gear of the gear pump is coaxially connected to pulley five, any one of the cleaning brushes is connected to pulley six, and a third transmission belt is connected between pulley five and pulley six; the inlet of the gear pump is connected to the water tank, and the outlet of the gear pump is connected to the water pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a flipping plate rotatably connected to the cleaning tank, a connecting rod is fastened to the rotating shaft of the flipping plate, a linkage rod is rotatably connected to the free end of the connecting rod, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the free end of the linkage rod; the cleaning tank is equipped with a second motor, and the output shaft of the second motor is connected to the free end of the rotating rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the output end of the second conveying component is provided with a compartment, the compartment is provided with a door; and a receiving frame is slidably connected inside the compartment; the top plate of the cleaning tank is set as a transparent plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the compartment is provided with a sliding groove, and the bottom of the receiving frame is connected to a sliding rail, which is slidably connected within the sliding groove.

[0017] The principles and beneficial effects of the technical solution are as follows:

[0018] 1. This invention provides a food raw material cleaning device for food processing. The cleaning tank is equipped with an inlet for feeding meat and a drain for discharging cleaning wastewater. Meat can be fed using a robotic arm or manually. The cleaning tank contains a first conveying assembly and a second conveying assembly, with the conveying directions of the first and second conveying assemblies being the same. A first motor drives the conveying assemblies. A cleaning assembly is located above both the first and second conveying assemblies. The input end of the first conveying assembly faces the inlet, facilitating the feeding of meat onto the first conveying assembly and its transport to the cleaning assembly. A flipping assembly flips the meat on the first conveying assembly and transfers it to the second conveying assembly, allowing the cleaning brush to scrub the meat. The washing unit thoroughly cleans the meat from both sides. Specifically, the washing assembly includes a rotating shaft and a washing brush rotatably connected to the washing tank. Several radially extending springs are connected to the rotating shaft circumferentially. A squeezing cylinder is fitted over the rotating shaft, and the free ends of the springs are connected to the inner wall of the squeezing cylinder. The rotating shaft and the washing brush are connected via a first transmission assembly. The rotating shafts or washing brushes on both sides are respectively connected to a first conveying assembly and a second conveying assembly via a second transmission assembly. The second transmission assembly ensures that the movement direction of the bottom of the squeezing cylinder and the washing brush is consistent with the movement direction of the first conveying assembly (second conveying assembly), and the first transmission assembly ensures that the rotation direction of the squeezing cylinder and the washing brush is consistent. Furthermore, a water spray assembly is provided above the washing assemblies on both sides, and a water supply device is connected to... The water spray assembly is connected. During operation, either the first or second conveying assembly transports the meat to the area below the extrusion cylinder. Simultaneously, the first or second conveying assembly, through the first and second transmission assemblies, drives the extrusion assembly (shaft, spring, extrusion cylinder) and the cleaning brush to rotate counterclockwise in the same direction. That is, while the first or second conveying assembly transports the meat forward, it drives the extrusion assembly (shaft, spring, extrusion cylinder) to rotate. The shaft, extrusion cylinder, and spring form an elastic floating sleeve assembly. The meat moves with the first or second conveying assembly and enters the space between the extrusion cylinder and the first conveying assembly. When the extrusion cylinder rotates, the radial spring provides continuous extrusion force, producing a continuous, uniform, and elastic crushing extrusion on the passing items. The pressure is used to squeeze out the blood from the meat; after being squeezed, the meat moves forward, and the water spray component sprays rinsing water onto it, which can promptly wash away the squeezed blood and prevent it from seeping back into the meat if not cleaned for a long time. At the same time, the cleaning brush can scrub the squeezed meat to further wash away the blood and effectively remove accumulated dirt, hair, and other impurities, resulting in a thorough and effective cleaning. In addition, the rotation direction of the squeezing cylinder is the same as the conveying direction, so it will not interfere with the conveying of the meat. Furthermore, in addition to squeezing out the blood, the squeezing cylinder can also hold the meat in place while the cleaning brush is scrubbing it, increasing the brush's brushing force and improving the cleaning effect, further removing stubborn stains.

[0019] 2. The present invention provides a food raw material cleaning device for food processing. The first conveying component and the second conveying component both include a driving pulley and a driven pulley that are rotatably connected to the cleaning box. A conveyor belt is connected between the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The cleaning box is connected to a support member. The support member is located below the upper conveyor belt and is in contact with the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is used to convey meat. The support member supports the upper conveyor belt, which facilitates the squeezing action of the squeezing cylinder. The conveying is stable and the operation is simple. The second transmission component includes pulley one, pulley two, and a first transmission belt. The rotation of the drive pulley drives pulley one to rotate, and pulley one drives pulley two to rotate via the first transmission belt. The first transmission belts are arranged in a cross pattern, so that the rotation direction of the drive pulley and the rotating shaft is opposite, thus making the rotation direction of the extrusion cylinder consistent with that of the conveyor belt. This does not interfere with the conveying of meat and can also promote its movement. The first transmission component includes pulley three, pulley four, and a second transmission belt. The rotation of the rotating shaft drives pulley three to rotate, and pulley three drives pulley four to rotate via the second transmission belt. This makes the rotation direction of the extrusion cylinder and the cleaning brush the same, brushing the dirt outward and avoiding interference with the conveying of meat. In addition, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt, the extrusion speed of the extrusion cylinder, and the brushing speed of the cleaning brush are positively correlated, further improving the cleaning effect. For example, by setting the diameters of pulley one, pulley two, pulley three, and pulley four, the linear speeds of the drive pulley, extrusion cylinder, and cleaning brush are made the same, further increasing the cleaning effect. In addition, the conveyor belt and support components are equipped with several drainage holes, which can drain sewage into the bottom of the cleaning tank and out through the drain hole to prevent sewage accumulation.

[0020] 3. The present invention provides a food raw material cleaning device for food processing. The cleaning tank is connected to two scrapers. One scraper is located below the first conveying component, and the other scraper is located below the second conveying component. When the conveyor belt passes over the scrapers, the scrapers can scrape off the residual debris on the conveyor belt to avoid affecting subsequent cleaning, resulting in good cleaning effect. In addition, a connecting pipe is connected between the two scrapers. The connecting pipe is connected to a water supply device. Several high-pressure nozzles facing the scrapers are connected to both sides of the connecting pipe. A switch valve is provided at the connection between the connecting pipe and the water supply device. The user can periodically open the switch valve to rinse the scrapers and the conveyor belt, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0021] 4. The present invention provides a food raw material cleaning device for food processing. The water supply device includes a water tank, and the water spraying assembly includes a water pipe located above the cleaning assembly. Several nozzles are connected along the length of the water pipe. The nozzles can be high-pressure nozzles or ordinary nozzles. The cleaning tank is equipped with a gear pump. The drive gear of the gear pump is coaxially connected to a pulley five. Any cleaning brush is connected to a pulley six. A third transmission belt connects pulley five and pulley six. When the cleaning brush rotates, it drives pulley five to rotate. Pulley five drives pulley six to rotate through the third transmission belt. Pulley six drives the drive gear of the gear pump to rotate, thereby driving the gear pump to work, guiding the water in the water tank to the water pipe, and flowing out from the nozzles to clean the meat. With this configuration, the water flow rate and volume are positively correlated with the speed of the conveyor belt, the brushing speed of the cleaning brush, and the extrusion speed of the extrusion cylinder, which can avoid water waste or insufficient water supply. Alternatively, the output shaft of a motor can be directly connected to the drive gear of the gear pump to drive the gear pump.

[0022] 5. The present invention provides a food raw material cleaning device for food processing. The flipping component includes a flipping plate rotatably connected to a cleaning tank. The flipping plate is connected to a connecting rod, the free end of which is rotatably connected to a linkage rod, and the free end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to a rotating rod. The first extreme position of the flipping plate is flush with and in contact with the conveyor belt of the first conveying component. The second extreme position can be 90°-150° from the first extreme position. In practical applications, a second motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod drives the connecting rod to swing through the linkage rod. The connecting rod drives the flipping plate to swing left and right above the horizontal plane. When meat is conveyed to the top of the flipping plate, the flipping plate rotates to flip it over and convey it to the conveyor belt of the second conveying component for cleaning the other side of the meat. The cleaning is thorough and the cleaning effect is good. The rotation speed of the second motor is set to achieve periodic flipping. A sensor for detecting distance, an induction sensor, or a pressure sensor can also be set on the flipping plate. The sensor is connected to the second motor, and the second motor flips according to the feedback from the sensor.

[0023] 6. The present invention provides a food raw material cleaning device for food processing, wherein the output end of the second conveying component is provided with a compartment, and a receiving frame is slidably connected inside the compartment. The compartment is provided with a door to facilitate the taking and placing of the receiving frame. The setting of the chute and the slide rail can play a guiding role and slide smoothly and effortlessly. The setting of the transparent plate makes it easy for the operator to observe the internal situation and can also prevent sewage from splashing out and causing bacterial infection.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a food raw material cleaning device for food processing includes a cleaning tank 1, which has an inlet 2 and a drain hole 3. The cleaning tank 1 contains a first conveying assembly and a second conveying assembly, with the conveying directions of the first and second conveying assemblies being the same. First motors 6 for driving the first and second conveying assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the cleaning tank 1. Specifically, both the first and second conveying assemblies include a driving pulley 4 and a driven pulley 5 rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 1. A conveyor belt 7 connects the driving pulley 4 and the driven pulley 5. The output shaft of the first motor 6 is connected to the driving pulley 4. A support member 8 is connected to the cleaning tank 1. The support member 8 is located below the conveyor belt 7 and is in contact with the conveyor belt 7; both the conveyor belt 7 and the support member 8 are provided with several drainage holes 9; in addition, the cleaning tank 1 is connected to two scrapers 27, one scraper 27 is located below the lower conveyor belt 7 of the first conveyor assembly, and the other scraper 27 is located below the lower conveyor belt 7 of the second conveyor assembly. The scrapers 27 are used to scrape off debris on the conveyor belt 7; furthermore, a connecting pipe 28 is connected between the two scrapers 27, and the connecting pipe 28 is connected to the water tank 25 of the water supply device. Several high-pressure nozzles facing the scrapers 27 are connected to both sides of the connecting pipe 28, and a switch valve is provided at the connection between the connecting pipe 28 and the water tank 25 of the water supply device.

[0036] A cleaning component is provided above both the first and second conveying components. Specifically, the cleaning component includes a rotating shaft 10 and a cleaning brush 13 rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 1. The rotating shaft 10 is connected with a plurality of radially extending springs 11 along the circumference. The rotating shaft 10 is fitted with a squeezing cylinder 12, and the free ends of the springs 11 are connected to the inner wall of the squeezing cylinder 12. The rotating shaft 10 and the cleaning brush 13 are connected through a first transmission component. In this embodiment, the first transmission component includes a pulley 3 16 connected to the rotating shaft 10, a pulley 4 17 connected to the cleaning brush 13, and a second transmission belt 21 connected between the pulley 3 16 and the pulley 4 17. The rotating shaft 10 above the first conveying component is connected to the drive pulley 4 of the first conveying component through a second transmission component. The cleaning brush 13 above the second conveying component is connected to the drive pulley 4 of the second conveying component through a second transmission component. The second transmission component includes a pulley 14 connected to the drive pulley 4, a pulley 2 15 coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 10, and a first transmission belt 20 arranged in a cross configuration connected between the pulley 14 and the pulley 2 15.

[0037] The cleaning tank 1 is also equipped with a water supply device, and a water spraying component is provided above the cleaning components on both sides. The water supply device is connected to the water spraying component and is used to provide rinsing water for cleaning meat. In this embodiment, the water supply device includes a water tank 25, and the water spraying component includes a water pipe 26 located above the cleaning components. Several nozzles are connected to the water pipe 26 along its length. The cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a gear pump 23. The drive gear 24 of the gear pump 23 is coaxially connected to a pulley 18. The cleaning brush 13 of the first conveying component is connected to a pulley 19. A third transmission belt 22 is connected between the pulley 18 and the pulley 19. The inlet 2 of the gear pump 23 is connected to the water tank 25, and the outlet of the gear pump 23 is connected to the water pipe 26.

[0038] A flipping assembly is provided between the first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly. The flipping assembly is used to flip the meat on the first conveying assembly and transfer it to the second conveying assembly. Specifically, the flipping assembly includes a flipping plate 29 rotatably connected to the washing tank 1. The flipping plate 29 is connected to a connecting rod 32. The free end of the connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to a linkage rod 31. The free end of the linkage rod 31 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 30. The washing tank 1 is provided with a second motor 33 for driving the rotating rod 30 to rotate. The output shaft of the second motor 33 is fastened to the end of the rotating rod 30 away from the linkage rod 31.

[0039] The output end of the second conveying component is provided with a compartment, and the compartment is provided with a door; and a receiving frame 34 is slidably connected inside the compartment; specifically, the bottom plate of the compartment is provided with a groove, and the bottom of the receiving frame 34 is connected with a slide rail 35, which is slidably connected inside the groove; in addition, the top plate of the cleaning box 1 is provided with a transparent plate.

[0040] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0041] When using this device, meat is manually or by a robotic arm placed from inlet 2 onto conveyor belt 7 of the first conveying assembly. Conveyor belt 7 transports the meat to the area below the squeezing assembly (rotating shaft 10, spring 11, squeezing cylinder 12). The drive pulley 4 drives the squeezing assembly (rotating shaft 10, spring 11, squeezing cylinder 12) to rotate via the second transmission assembly, creating a continuous, uniform, and elastic crushing action on the passing items to squeeze out the blood from the meat. The squeezed meat moves forward, and the rotating shaft 10 drives the cleaning brush 13 to rotate via the first transmission assembly. At the same time, the cleaning brush 13 drives the gear pump 23 via pulley five 18, pulley six 19, and the third transmission belt 22 to scrub and spray the meat with rinsing water. After the front cleaning is completed, the first conveying assembly continues to transport the meat forward to the flipping plate 29. The second motor 33 drives the rotating rod 30 to rotate, and the rotating rod 30 drives the connecting rod 32 to swing via the linkage rod 31. The connecting rod 32 drives the flipping plate 29 to swing, flipping the meat over and transporting it to the second conveying assembly for reverse cleaning. The cleaning process is the same as the front cleaning.

[0042] The first and second conveying components have the same conveying direction. The first motor 6 drives the conveying components. The input end of the first conveying component faces the inlet 2, facilitating the placement of meat onto the first conveying component and its transport to the cleaning component. The flipping component flips the meat on the first conveying component and transfers it to the second conveying component, allowing the cleaning brush 13 to thoroughly clean both sides of the meat. The second transmission component ensures that the movement direction of the bottom of the extrusion cylinder 12 and the cleaning brush 13 is consistent with the movement direction of the first (second) conveying components. The first transmission component ensures that the rotation direction of the extrusion cylinder 12 and the cleaning brush 13 is consistent. Furthermore, when the extrusion cylinder 12 rotates, the radial spring 11 provides continuous extrusion force, generating continuous and uniform pressure on the passing items. The uniform, elastic, rolling compression squeezes out the blood from the meat. After being squeezed, the meat moves forward, and the water spray component sprays rinsing water onto it, promptly rinsing away the squeezed-out blood and preventing it from seeping back into the meat if left uncleaned for a long time. Simultaneously, the cleaning brush 13 scrubs the squeezed meat, further removing the blood and effectively cleaning away accumulated dirt and hair, resulting in a thorough and effective cleaning. Furthermore, the rotation direction of the squeezing cylinder 12 is consistent with the conveying direction, ensuring no interference with the meat's transport. In addition to squeezing out the blood, the squeezing cylinder 12 also helps to hold the meat in place while the cleaning brush 13 scrubs it, increasing the brushing force and improving the cleaning effect, further removing stubborn stains.

[0043] The support member 8 supports the conveyor belt 7 above, facilitating the squeezing action of the extrusion cylinder 12, ensuring stable conveying and simple operation. The first transmission belt 20 is arranged in a cross pattern, so that the rotation direction of the drive pulley 4 and the rotating shaft 10 is opposite, thus making the rotation direction of the extrusion cylinder 12 consistent with that of the conveyor belt 7, without interfering with the conveying of meat, and also promoting the conveying process. The first transmission assembly includes pulley three 16, pulley four 17, and the second transmission belt 21. The rotation of the rotating shaft 10 makes the rotation direction of the extrusion cylinder 12 and the cleaning brush 13 the same, brushing the dirt outward and avoiding interference with the conveying of meat. In addition, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 7, the squeezing speed of the extrusion cylinder 12, and the brushing speed of the cleaning brush 13 are positively correlated. For example, by setting the diameters of pulley one 14, pulley two 15, pulley three 16, and pulley four 17, the linear speeds of the drive pulley 4, the extrusion cylinder 12, and the cleaning brush 13 are the same, further increasing the cleaning effect. In addition, both the conveyor belt 7 and the support member 8 are equipped with several drainage holes 9, which can drain sewage into the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 and discharge it from the drain hole 3, preventing sewage accumulation. The cleaning tank 1 is connected to two scrapers 27, which can scrape off the debris remaining on the conveyor belt 7 to avoid affecting subsequent cleaning and achieve good cleaning results. In addition, a switch valve is provided at the connection point between the connecting pipe 28 and the water supply device. Users can periodically open the switch valve to rinse the scrapers 27 and the conveyor belt 7, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0044] The cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a gear pump 23. Any cleaning brush 13 is connected to a pulley 19. A third transmission belt 22 connects the pulley 18 and the pulley 19. When the cleaning brush 13 rotates, it drives the gear pump 23 to work, guiding the water in the water tank 25 to the water pipe 26 and out of the nozzle to clean the meat. The flow rate and volume of the water are positively correlated with the speed of the conveyor belt 7, the brushing speed of the cleaning brush 13, and the squeezing speed of the squeezing cylinder 12, which can avoid water waste or insufficient water supply. Alternatively, the output shaft of a motor can be directly connected to the drive gear 24 of the gear pump 23 to drive the gear pump 23.

[0045] The first extreme position of the flipping plate 29 is flush with and in contact with the conveyor belt 7 of the first conveying assembly. The second extreme position can be 90°-170° from the first extreme position. When the meat is conveyed above the flipping plate 29, the flipping plate 29 rotates to flip it over and convey it onto the conveyor belt 7 of the second conveying assembly for cleaning the other side of the meat. The cleaning is thorough and effective. The flipping can be periodically achieved by setting the rotation speed of the second motor 33. Alternatively, a distance sensor, induction sensor, or pressure sensor can be installed on the flipping plate 29. The sensor is connected to the second motor 33, and the second motor 33 flips the meat based on sensor feedback. When the sensor detects that all or most of the meat has entered the flipping plate 29, it sends a signal to the second motor 33. The chute and slide rail 35 provide guidance and smooth, effortless sliding. The transparent plate allows operators to observe the internal conditions and prevents wastewater from splashing out and causing bacterial infection.
