Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of spicy rice noodle roll production and processing equipment, and in particular to a chili washing machine for spicy rice noodle roll production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] The flavor and quality of spicy rice noodle rolls are highly dependent on the cleanliness of the raw chili peppers. During harvesting, transportation, and storage, chili peppers easily accumulate dirt, dust, pesticide residues, and debris, requiring thorough cleaning before use in seasoning processing. Currently, the chili pepper cleaning process in the industrial production of spicy rice noodle rolls still faces several technical challenges:

[0003] Existing cleaning equipment is mostly intermittent, single-station structure. It requires the sequential completion of the feeding, cleaning, and discharging process before starting the next batch of work. This process break leads to low cleaning efficiency, making it difficult to match the batch production rhythm of spicy rice noodle rolls. When batches of chili peppers are stacked in the cleaning container, the inner layer of chili peppers cannot fully contact the cleaning medium, forming cleaning dead corners. Furthermore, impurities that fall off the surface are easy to re-adhere, resulting in poor cleaning effect. Deposits easily accumulate at the bottom of the equipment. If not cleaned in time, they will contaminate the cleaning water and affect the subsequent cleaning quality. Manual cleaning is not only labor-intensive but also requires machine downtime, further reducing production efficiency. In addition, most equipment requires additional motors, cylinders, and other drive components for vibration, tilting, and discharging actions, resulting in complex equipment structure, high failure rate, increased maintenance costs, and easy disruption of production continuity due to damage to drive components.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to design a chili cleaning device that is suitable for the industrial production of spicy rice noodle rolls, highly automated, with good cleaning effect, and capable of continuous operation, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes a chili washing machine for the production and processing of spicy rice noodle rolls.

[0021] Preferably, the guide rail consists of two sets of parallel strip rails with a gap between them for the connecting rod to pass through, and the diameter of the ball is larger than the width of the gap; on the side wall of the island platform inside the cleaning chamber, 2 to 4 sets of guide rails are spaced apart along the moving direction of the cleaning platform, and the length of the gradually decreasing section of the height of each set of guide rails is 30 to 50 cm.

[0022] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a rotating rod, a gear, an outwardly protruding section, and a rack; the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second moving platform, passes through the tilting platform and the first moving platform in sequence, and extends outward; the gear is fixedly connected to the extended end of the rotating rod; the outer ring channel has an outwardly protruding section in the discharge chamber, the outwardly protruding section is parallel to the inner ring channel, and the rack is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the outwardly protruding section and meshes with the gear; the tilting platform has locking strips at both the upper and lower ends on the side near the first moving platform, the first moving platform can be locked between the two locking strips to form a whole cleaning platform, and when it moves to the outwardly protruding section, it disengages from the locking strips, and the gear meshes with the rack to drive the tilting platform to tilt.

[0025] Preferably, both the inner and outer ring tracks are I-shaped guide rails, and the bottom of the first and second moving platforms are provided with matching sliding wheels, with wear-resistant pads provided between the sliding wheels and the guide rails.

[0026] The chili washing machine for the production and processing of spicy rice noodle rolls proposed in this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. Continuous operation significantly improves production efficiency. Through the cooperation of the double ring track assembly and multiple sets of cleaning stations, the drive mechanism drives all cleaning stations to move synchronously in a cycle, so that the feeding, cleaning and discharging processes can be carried out in parallel. This breaks the limitations of the process break in traditional intermittent operation, significantly improves the batch cleaning capacity of chili peppers in the production of spicy rice noodle rolls, and is fully adapted to the rhythm of industrial continuous production.

[0028] 2. Unique Vibration Mode: Traditional vibrators rely on motors for continuous, uniform vibration, resulting in dispersed force and a single frequency, making it difficult to disperse the stacked chili peppers and leaving impurities behind. This invention employs a non-uniform "intermittent full-load - instantaneous rebound" vibration mechanism. Utilizing the momentum accumulated by the moving cleaning platform, the spring rebound generates a concentrated impact force, similar to a slingshot release. This instantly disperses the deeply stacked chili peppers and powerfully removes tiny impurities adhering to the pepper's surface. When combined with underwater ultrasonic cleaning, it creates a synergistic effect of high-frequency peeling and instantaneous shaking, overcoming the boundary attenuation problem of ultrasonic cleaning. This allows ultrasonic energy to penetrate the stacked chili peppers more evenly, while the rebound vibration quickly carries the impurities broken up by the ultrasound from the gaps in the basket to the bottom of the pool, preventing secondary adsorption and achieving deep cleaning and rapid impurity separation, thus improving cleanliness.

[0029] 3. Automatic sludge removal and pollution prevention, maintaining stable water quality: The scraping mechanism at the bottom of the cleaning chamber is driven by a screw nut to move the scraper in both directions, which can automatically scrape the sedimented impurities into the collection tanks on both sides, eliminating the need for frequent manual cleaning and machine shutdown; at the same time, the partition isolates the cleaning chamber from the discharge chamber to prevent impurities from flowing and contaminating the chili peppers at the discharge end, continuously keeping the cleaning water clean and ensuring consistent cleaning quality for each batch of chili peppers.

[0030] 4. No additional drive, simplified structure and not easy to damage: The core actions such as vibration and flipping discharge are all achieved by the movement of the cleaning table itself on the ring rail. There is no need to configure additional drive components such as motors and cylinders. This simplifies the overall structure of the equipment, reduces the number of failure points, and reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment. This makes the equipment more wear-resistant and less prone to damage, and improves the stability of operation and service life.

[0031] 5. High degree of automation, reducing labor intensity: The entire process is automated. The feeding mechanism automatically puts in the chili peppers, the discharge mechanism automatically flips and tilts them, and the conveyor belt automatically transports them to the next process. No manual assistance is required, which greatly reduces labor intensity, reduces human error, and ensures the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0032] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0042] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1-8 The chili washing machine shown includes a washing tank 1, an island 2, a partition 101, a ring track 3 assembly, a washing table 4, a drive mechanism 6, a feeding mechanism 8, a vibration mechanism 5, a scraping mechanism 9, an export mechanism 7, and a conveyor belt 701. All components work together to achieve continuous and automated chili washing.

[0044] The washing tank 1 is made of stainless steel and has a long strip structure. It contains washing water to meet the needs of batch washing. The partition 101 is made of stainless steel plate and is vertically set in the middle of the washing tank 1, dividing the washing tank 1 into a left washing chamber and a right discharge chamber. The upper part of the partition 101 has a reserved opening for the washing table 4 to pass through. The lower part of the partition 101 is sealed and fixed to the bottom of the washing tank 1 to ensure that the water in the two chambers is completely isolated, and to prevent impurities in the washing chamber from entering the discharge chamber and contaminating the washed peppers.

[0045] The island platform 2 is a long, rectangular stainless steel column structure, vertically positioned in the middle of the cleaning tank 1, parallel to the partition 101, and higher than the liquid level of the cleaning tank 1. The top and outer walls are reserved with mounting holes to provide stable installation support and positioning for components such as the drive mechanism 6 and the ring rail 3 assembly.

[0046] The ring rail assembly 3 is a double-ring I-beam guide rail structure, including an inner ring 301 and an outer ring 302, both made of stainless steel. They are arranged on the same plane with gaps between them, forming a racetrack-like closed-loop track 3. The inner ring 301 is welded and fixed to the outer wall of the island platform 2 via stainless steel connectors, and the outer ring 302 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 via stainless steel connectors. The two straight sections of the double-ring rail 3 are respectively located in the cleaning chamber and the discharge chamber, and the arc-shaped sections are located at both ends of the cleaning tank 1, connecting the two straight sections to achieve stable circulation guidance of the cleaning platform 4.

[0047] Multiple sets of cleaning tables 4 are evenly distributed along the ring rail 3 components. Each set of cleaning tables 4 includes a first moving table 401, a second moving table 402, and a tilting table 403, all made of stainless steel. The bottom of the first moving table 401 and the second moving table 402 are equipped with sliding wheels adapted to the I-shaped guide rail. Polyurethane wear-resistant pads are provided between the sliding wheels and the guide rail to reduce friction loss during movement and improve sliding stability. The first moving table 401 is slidably engaged with the outer ring 302, the second moving table 402 is slidably engaged with the inner ring 301, and the tilting table 403 is located in the gap between the inner ring 301 and the outer ring 302, and has a square plate structure. The rotating table 403 has a circular mounting hole in the middle, into which a metal mesh basket 407 is fitted. This basket can hold chili peppers and allow impurities and water to flow smoothly. The top has a tapered feed hopper 408 that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The bottom end of the hopper is seamlessly welded to the top of the metal mesh basket 407, which facilitates precise feeding. The bottom of the metal mesh basket 407 has a mesh structure, which further improves the efficiency of impurity removal.

[0048] The drive mechanism 6 is located on the top of the island platform 2 and includes a drive component 602, a drive gear, a driven gear, and a chain 601. The drive component 602 is a servo motor with adjustable speed to control the moving speed of the cleaning table 4. The drive gear is connected to the output end of the servo motor via a coupling. The driven gear is rotatably mounted on the end of the island platform 2 away from the drive gear via a stainless steel bracket and meshes with the drive gear. The chain 601 is a stainless steel transmission chain that is wound around the drive gear and the driven gear. Its layout path matches the double ring rail 3. The chain 601 is welded and fixed to the second moving platform 402 of each cleaning table 4 via a connector. After the servo motor is started, it drives the chain 601 to rotate through the gear 413, thereby driving all the cleaning tables 4 to move synchronously and cyclically along the ring rail 3 assembly, adapting to the cleaning and feeding rhythm.

[0049] The feeding mechanism 8 is located above the cleaning chamber and adopts a vibrating feeding machine. The discharge port of the feeding machine is aligned with the straight section above the ring rail 3 component inside the cleaning chamber. It can accurately and evenly feed the chili peppers to be cleaned into the moving metal mesh basket 407. The feeding amount is adjusted by the vibration frequency to match the moving speed of the cleaning table 4 and the capacity of the metal mesh basket 407.

[0050] The cleaning chamber is equipped with an aeration component and an ultrasonic cleaning component, forming a composite cleaning structure. The aeration component includes an aeration pump, an aeration pipe, and an aeration head. After the aeration pump is started, it introduces microbubbles into the water. As the bubbles rise, they impact the surface of the chili peppers, achieving preliminary impurity removal. The ultrasonic cleaning component includes an ultrasonic generator and a transducer. The transducer is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber and is evenly distributed. It can generate high-frequency vibrations, effectively removing stubborn impurities and pesticide residues from the surface of the chili peppers.

[0051] The oscillation mechanism 5 is located inside the cleaning chamber and includes guide rails, connecting rods 405, a retaining ball 406, an oscillation table 404, guide rods 409, and springs 410. The guide rails consist of two sets of parallel stainless steel strips, fixed to the outer wall of the island platform 2 inside the cleaning chamber. They have a gradually decreasing height along the moving direction of the cleaning platform 4, with a gap between the two sets of guide rails. They are vertically aligned with the straight sections of the double-ring rails 3 to ensure that the connecting rod 405 can pass through smoothly. The connecting rod 405 is a stainless steel rod, vertically welded to the center of the bottom of the metal mesh basket 407. The retaining ball 406 is a stainless steel ball, welded to the bottom end of the connecting rod 405. The card is located below the guide rail and can move smoothly along the guide rail; the vibration table 404 is a square stainless steel plate, welded to the outer wall of the metal mesh basket 407, located below the flipping table 403; there are 4 guide rods 409, which are evenly distributed in a ring around the center of the vibration table 404, welded upward to the vibration table 404, and pass through the flipping table 403. The top end is provided with a limit nut to prevent the guide rods 409 from falling off; the spring 410 is a stainless steel compression spring, sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 409, and its two ends are welded and fixed to the bottom of the flipping table 403 and the top of the vibration table 404 respectively, and has good elastic restoring ability. When the cleaning platform 4 moves, the ball 406 moves down along the guide rail, and the metal basket 407 and the vibrating platform 404 move down synchronously through the connecting rod 405, stretching the spring 410. When the ball 406 is removed from the guide rail, the spring 410 rebounds elastically, causing the metal basket 407 to vibrate up and down rapidly, scattering the peppers and shaking off the impurities attached to the surface. In this embodiment, three sets of guide rails are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the cleaning platform 4 in the cleaning chamber to achieve intermittent multiple vibrations and enhance the cleaning effect.

[0052] The scraping mechanism 9 is located at the bottom of the cleaning chamber and includes a screw and nut transmission assembly, a scraper, and two sets of collection pools 102. The screw and nut transmission assembly includes a servo motor, a screw, and a nut seat. The screw is made of stainless steel and is horizontally positioned at the bottom of the cleaning chamber, with both ends fixed by bearing seats. The servo motor is connected to one end of the screw, enabling it to rotate forward and backward. The nut seat is threaded into the screw. The scraper is a rubber scraper with a width adapted to the internal width of the cleaning chamber. It is welded to the bottom of the nut seat and fits tightly against the bottom of the cleaning pool 1 to ensure thorough scraping. The two sets of collection pools 102 are located on both sides of the cleaning pool 1, using a drawer-type stainless steel structure and connected to the bottom of the cleaning chamber. The top of the collection pool 102 is equipped with a 2mm aperture filter screen to prevent impurities from flowing back into the cleaning chamber. The collection pool 102 can be pulled out for cleaning, making operation convenient. The servo motor drives the screw to rotate forward and backward, causing the scraper to move bidirectionally along the bottom of the cleaning chamber, scraping the settled impurities into the corresponding collection pool 102. The operator only needs to remove the collection pool 102 for cleaning every 2 hours without stopping the machine.

[0053] The discharge mechanism 7 is located inside the discharge chamber and includes a rotating rod 412, a gear 413, an outwardly protruding section, and a rack 702. The rotating rod 412 is a stainless steel rod that is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second moving platform 402 via bearings. It passes through the tilting platform 403 and the first moving platform 401 in sequence and extends outward. The gear 413 is welded and fixed to the extended end of the rotating rod 412. The straight section of the outer ring channel 302 in the discharge chamber has an outwardly protruding section that is parallel to the inner ring channel 301. The rack 702 is welded to the outer side wall of the outwardly protruding section, and its module is matched with that of the gear 413 to ensure that the gear 413 can drive the tilting platform 403 to tilt after meshing, so as to completely tilt the chili peppers. Stainless steel retaining strips 411 are welded to the upper and lower ends of the side of the tilting platform 403 near the first moving platform 401. The space between the two retaining strips 411 is... The thickness of the first moving platform 401 is adapted to the distance between the two locking strips 411 to form a whole cleaning platform 4, ensuring structural stability during movement and cleaning. When the cleaning platform 4 moves to the outer protrusion section, the first moving platform 401 moves outward with the outer ring 302, disengaging from the locking strips 411. The gear 413 meshes with the rack 702, driving the rotating rod 412 to rotate as the cleaning platform 4 moves, thereby driving the tilting platform 403 and the metal mesh basket 407 to tilt synchronously, pouring the chili peppers onto the conveyor belt 701 below. After the cleaning platform 4 disengages from the outer protrusion section, the first moving platform 401 resets with the outer ring 302, re-locking into the two locking strips 411. The gear 413 disengages from the rack 702, and the tilting platform 403 resets to the open-up state under gravity, continuing the cyclic operation.

[0054] The conveyor belt 701 is made of food-grade stainless steel and is located below the discharge chamber. The input end of the conveyor belt 701 is located directly below the turning track of the metal mesh basket 407, and the output end extends to the outside of the washing pool 1, connecting with the pepper cutting process in the production of spicy rice noodle rolls. It can smoothly transport the washed peppers to the next processing stage and avoid secondary contamination.

[0055] The working process of this chili washing machine used in the production and processing of spicy rice noodle rolls is as follows, achieving continuous and automated operation throughout the entire process:

[0056] 1. Feeding stage: Start the servo motor of the drive mechanism 6, and drive the washing table 4 to move synchronously along the ring track 3 component through the gear 413 and chain 601; at the same time, start the feeding mechanism 8, and evenly put the peppers to be washed into the metal mesh basket 407 that the vibrating feeder moves through into the washing chamber, thus completing the automatic feeding.

[0057] 2. Composite Cleaning Stage: The cleaning platform 4 containing chili peppers enters the cleaning chamber, and the aeration component and ultrasonic cleaning component are activated simultaneously. The aeration component introduces air bubbles to impact the surface of the chili peppers to initially remove impurities, while the ultrasonic component generates high-frequency vibrations to peel off stubborn impurities. At the same time, the cleaning platform 4 moves along the ring rail 3, and the ball 406 of the oscillation mechanism 5 moves down along the first set of guide rails, stretching the spring 410. After detaching from the guide rail, the spring 410 rebounds, causing the metal mesh basket 407 to oscillate, scattering the chili peppers and shaking off surface impurities. The cleaning platform 4 continues to move, passing through the other two sets of guide rails in sequence, achieving multiple intermittent oscillations to complete the deep composite cleaning. The scraping mechanism 9 works simultaneously, with the scraper moving bidirectionally along the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 to scrape the settled impurities into the collection tanks 102 on both sides, keeping the water clean.

[0058] 3. Automatic discharge stage: The cleaned washing table 4 passes through the opening at the top of the partition 101 and enters the discharge chamber. When it moves to the outer protruding section of the outer ring road 302, the first moving table 401 moves outward with the outer ring road 302, disengaging from the locking strip 411 of the turning table 403. The gear 413 at the end of the rotating rod 412 meshes with the rack 702 of the outer protruding section. As the washing table 4 moves, it drives the turning table 403 and the metal mesh basket 407 to rotate 270°, completely dumping the chili peppers onto the conveyor belt 701 below. The conveyor belt 701 starts to transport the chili peppers to the next process.

[0059] 4. Cyclic Reset Stage: After the cleaning table 4 disengages from the outer protruding section, the first moving table 401 resets along with the outer ring track 302 and re-engages in the two locking strips 411. The gear 413 disengages from the rack 702, and the flipping table 403 resets to the open-up state. The cleaning table 4 returns to the cleaning chamber along the arc section of the ring track 3 assembly and enters the next round of feeding and cleaning operations, realizing continuous cycle.
