Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of scallion production and processing equipment technology, specifically a suspended scallion cleaning, washing and root removal integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a common seasoning and vegetable in daily life, scallions have a lot of soil, impurities and residual pollutants on their surface after harvesting, and the roots have extra fibrous roots. They need to be washed and the roots removed before they can be sold in the market or further processed.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning and root removal of scallions are mostly done manually or with traditional, simple equipment, which has many drawbacks. Manual cleaning and root removal is inefficient, labor-intensive, and produces uneven cleaning results. Furthermore, manual root removal has poor precision, easily damaging the scallion and affecting product quality and utilization. Traditional cleaning equipment often uses immersion or spray cleaning methods, during which scallions are prone to collisions and friction with the equipment's inner walls or with each other, leading to damage to the scallion's skin, juice loss, and the creation of cleaning dead zones. Existing scallion processing equipment with root-cutting function mostly separates the washing and root-removing processes, requiring additional conveying and transfer mechanisms. The equipment has a complex structure, occupies a large area, and the transfer process can easily reduce processing efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design a suspension-type integrated scallion cleaning and root-removing machine that is highly practical and has a high degree of cleaning cleanliness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suspended scallion cleaning, washing and root removal integrated machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a suspended scallion cleaning and root removal integrated machine, including a cleaning frame, two support plates fixedly connected to the upper side of the cleaning frame, two drive rods rotatably connected to the two support plates and the inner wall of the cleaning frame, a conveyor belt tensioned on the drive rods, and a root cutting mechanism provided on the upper side of one of the support plates. A flow port is provided on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame. A filter frame is provided on the inner wall of the flow port. A water pump is fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the filter frame on one side of the cleaning frame. A suspended water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump. The two suspended water outlet pipes are respectively arranged opposite to each other at the bottom and top of the inner wall of the cleaning frame. A foam-generating component is provided on the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame, and a pusher component that cooperates with the foam-generating component is provided on the front side of the cleaning frame. A drive motor that is fixedly connected to one of the drive rods is provided on another support plate.

[0006] According to the above technical solution, the root cutting mechanism includes a container plate fixedly connected to one side of two support plates. Two rotating rods are rotatably connected to the container plate. Meshing gears are fixedly connected to the two rotating rods. Two mutually fitting cutting rings are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two rotating rods. A linkage component is provided between one of the rotating rods and one of the driving rods.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the linkage component includes a synchronous wheel fixedly connected to the other end of one of the rotating rods and one end of one of the driving rods, and a synchronous belt is sleeved on both synchronous wheels.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the foam generating component includes a hollow plate fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame. Multiple bubble ports are opened on the upper side of the hollow plate. An industrial aerator is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning frame. A solenoid valve is provided at the output end of the industrial aerator. An air-filling plate extending to the inner wall of the hollow plate is fixedly connected to one end of the solenoid valve.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the scallion pushing assembly includes an air inlet located on the front side of the cleaning frame and flush with the conveyor belt. An air blowing frame for pushing the scallion leaf ends is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet, and a connecting pipe fixedly connected to a solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air blowing frame.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, two guide plates are fixedly connected to the upper side of the cleaning frame, and the two guide plates are respectively located below the conveyor belt and the root cutting mechanism.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, two inclined plates are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame, and the lower ends of the two inclined plates are located on the upper side of the conveyor belt.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: 1. This invention employs a gas-liquid two-phase flow suspension cleaning mode, which keeps the scallions in a non-contact dynamic suspension state during the cleaning process. This effectively avoids collisions and friction between the scallions and the inner wall of the equipment, as well as between the scallions themselves, preventing damage to the skin and loss of juice. At the same time, through the foam-generating component, the shock waves generated by the bursting of the bubbles and the scouring force of the spray water act together on the scallions, achieving comprehensive cleaning without dead angles. This reduces damage to the scallions while ensuring product quality and cleaning effect, meeting the cleanliness requirements for market circulation and subsequent processing.

[0013] 2. This invention achieves an integrated design of cleaning and root removal processes through the coordinated operation of the drive rod, conveyor belt, and root-cutting mechanism. It eliminates the drawbacks of separate processes in traditional equipment, eliminating the need for additional conveying and transfer mechanisms. This significantly simplifies the overall equipment structure, reduces the equipment's footprint, and lowers investment and installation costs. Simultaneously, it enables continuous cleaning and root removal of scallions, avoiding efficiency losses during process transfer, shortening the processing cycle, and improving processing efficiency. It is suitable for large-scale scallion processing needs, is easy to operate, reduces manual labor intensity, and solves the pain points of complex structures and low processing efficiency in traditional equipment.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-5The present invention provides a technical solution: a suspended scallion cleaning and root removal integrated machine, including a cleaning frame 1, two support plates 2 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the cleaning frame 1, two drive rods 3 are rotatably connected to the two support plates 2 and the inner wall of the cleaning frame 1, a conveyor belt 4 is tensioned on the drive rods 3, the conveyor belt 4 can be a hollow stainless steel mesh with multiple blocking blocks, and a root cutting mechanism 5 is provided on the upper side of one of the support plates 2; A flow port 6 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame 1. A filter frame 7 is provided on the inner wall of the flow port 6. A water pump 8 is fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the filter frame 7 on one side of the cleaning frame 1. A suspended water outlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 8. The two suspended water outlet pipes 9 are respectively arranged opposite to each other at the bottom and top of the inner wall of the cleaning frame 1. A foam-generating component 10 is provided on the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame 1, and a pusher component 11 that cooperates with the foam-generating component 10 is provided on the front side of the cleaning frame 1. A drive motor 14 that is fixedly connected to one of the drive rods 3 is provided on another support plate 2.

[0017] Please see Figure 3 The root-cutting mechanism 5 includes a collection plate 51 fixedly connected to one side of one of the two support plates 2. Two rotating rods 52 are rotatably connected to the collection plate 51. Meshing gears 53 are fixedly connected to the two rotating rods 52. Two mutually fitting cutting rings 54 are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two rotating rods 52. A linkage assembly 55 is provided between one of the rotating rods 52 and one of the drive rods 3. The linkage assembly 55 includes a synchronous pulley 551 fixedly connected to the other end of one of the rotating rods 52 and one end of one of the drive rods 3. A synchronous belt 552 is commonly fitted onto both synchronous pulleys 551. When the moving rod rotates, it drives one of the rotating rods 52 to rotate through the two synchronous pulleys 551 and the synchronous belt 552 of the linkage assembly 55. The rotating rod 52 meshes with the gear 53 on the other rotating rod 52 through the gear 53 fixed on it, driving the two rotating rods 52 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This causes the cutting ring 54, which is attached to one end of the two rotating rods 52, to rotate synchronously, realizing the cutting operation of the root of the scallion delivered here. At the same time, the linkage assembly 55 can drive the cutting ring 54 to rotate during the rotation of 3, so that one driving component can drive the conveyor belt 4 and the cutting ring 54 at the same time.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4The foam-generating component 10 includes a hollow plate 101 fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame 1. Multiple air bubble ports 102 are opened on the upper side of the hollow plate 101. An industrial aerator 103 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning frame 1. The operating parameters of the water pump 8 and the industrial aerator 103 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the scallions. The industrial aerator 103 adopts a high-pressure air pump type aeration device, which can drive the impeller to rotate at high speed through an internal motor, compressing and pressurizing the outside air to continuously output a high-pressure airflow, providing a stable air source for the foam-generating component 10 and the scallion-pushing component 11. To meet the gas requirements for suspending and turbulent cleaning of scallions and promoting airflow, the output end of the industrial aerator 103 is equipped with a solenoid valve 104. One end of the solenoid valve 104 is fixedly connected to an inflation plate 105 extending to the inner wall of the hollow plate 101. After the industrial aerator 103 is started, the generated gas is regulated by the solenoid valve 104 and transported through the inflation plate 105 to the hollow plate 101 on the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning frame 1. Finally, it continuously overflows from multiple bubble ports 102 on the upper side of the hollow plate 101, forming a large number of bubbles, which provide gas phase turbulence for suspending and cleaning scallions.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The scallion pushing assembly 11 includes an air inlet 111 located on the front side of the cleaning frame 1 and flush with the conveyor belt 4. An air blowing frame 112 for pushing the scallion leaf ends is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet 111. A connecting pipe 113 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air blowing frame 112 is fixedly connected to the solenoid valve 104. After the solenoid valve 104 adjusts the air outlet direction, the gas is transported through the connecting pipe 113 to the air blowing frame 112 flush with the conveyor belt 4. The gas is then blown out from the air inlet 111 on the front side of the cleaning frame 1. Since the friction between the scallion and the conveyor belt 4 is small in the water, the generated airflow can push the cleaned scallion leaf ends, aligning the scallion roots and facilitating subsequent root cutting operations.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 Two guide plates 12 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the washing frame 1. The two guide plates 12 are located on the lower side of the conveyor belt 4 and the root cutting mechanism 5, respectively. The guide plates 12 are set on the lower side of the conveyor belt 4 and the root cutting mechanism 5 to guide and limit the flow of the scallions after conveying and cutting, so that the scallions can move and discharge smoothly and orderly, and avoid the scallions from deviating or piling up.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 Two inclined plates 13 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the washing frame 1. The lower ends of the two inclined plates 13 are located on the upper side of the conveyor belt 4. When the suspension ends, the inclined plates 13 are used to guide and collect the green onions after suspension and washing, so that the green onions can fall smoothly onto the conveyor belt 4 and be transported in an orderly manner.

[0022] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: After the scallions are placed into the cleaning liquid area of ​​the cleaning frame 1 in the specified direction, the water pump 8 is started and water is sprayed in opposite directions through the upper and lower sets of suspended water outlet pipes 9. In conjunction with the industrial aerator 103, air is supplied to the hollow plate 101 through the solenoid valve 104. The gas continuously overflows from the bubble outlet 102, generating a large number of bubbles, forming a gas-liquid two-phase flow in the cleaning frame 1. Under the coupling effect of the gas phase (bubble buoyancy and disturbance) and the liquid phase (upper and lower water flow thrust), the scallions can maintain a dynamic suspension state without auxiliary chains and support rods. The shock wave generated by the bursting of bubbles, combined with the scouring force of the spray water flow from the suspended water outlet pipes 9, acts on the surface of the suspended scallions to achieve comprehensive cleaning without dead angles. During the cleaning process, the water flows through the flow port 6 and the filter frame 7 for circulation filtration to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning water. Once cleaning is complete and the internal suspension disappears, the drive motor 14 is started to drive the drive rod 3 to rotate. Under the guidance of the inclined plate 13, the conveyor belt 4 continues to operate and transport the scallions. During the transport process, the solenoid valve 104 adjusts the air outlet direction and delivers the gas to the air blowing frame 112 through the connecting pipe 113. The airflow is blown out from the air blowing port 111 to push the cleaned scallion leaf ends, so that the scallion roots are aligned and positioned close to the cutting ring 54. At the same time as the transport, the drive rod 3 is driven by the synchronous wheel 551 and the synchronous belt 552 of the linkage component 55 to drive the rotating rod 52 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the gear 53, the two cutting rings 54 rotate synchronously and cut the scallion roots transported here synchronously, completing the root removal operation. This ensures that the scallion transport, cleaning, root removal and discharge process is stable and orderly, and finally realizes the integrated continuous operation of scallion suspension cleaning and automatic root removal. The guide plate 12 and the inclined plate 13 guide and limit the scallions.
