Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water spinach cleaning technology, specifically to a device and method for cleaning water spinach to remove sand. Background Technology

[0002] Seaweed is an important marine economic vegetable. It grows in shallow sea areas, and a large amount of mud, sand, shell fragments and other impurities easily adhere to the surface and crevices of the plant. If it is not cleaned thoroughly, it will seriously affect its edible quality and subsequent processing.

[0003] Currently, the existing washing devices for seaweed on the market mainly adopt a stirring or drum structure, which separates mud and sand by driving the seaweed to tumble in one direction in the water. However, this single tumbling washing method can only remove loose mud and sand attached to the surface of the seaweed. For fine mud and sand hidden in the folds and branches of the seaweed, as well as mud and sand with strong stickiness, it is difficult to effectively remove them by the lateral impact of the water flow alone, and cannot achieve washing. Therefore, improvements are needed.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a device and method for cleaning and removing sand from seaweed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a device for removing sand and cleaning seaweed to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sand removal and cleaning device for seaweed, comprising a cleaning box and a cleaning bucket disposed inside the cleaning box, wherein the cleaning bucket is provided with driving components on both sides for driving it to rotate inside the cleaning box;

[0007] The bottom of the cleaning tank is fixedly connected to an outer shell, and the outer shell is provided with a lifting component that drives the driving component and the cleaning tub to move up and down horizontally. The lifting component includes a movable part connected to the driving component and a driving component disposed inside the outer shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the moving component includes a U-shaped frame that wraps around the lower half of the cleaning tank, with both top ends of the U-shaped frame connected to the drive component. Guide posts are fixedly fitted on both side rods of the U-shaped frame, and both guide posts penetrate the top of the outer shell and are connected to the top of the outer shell via linear bearings.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving component includes a lead screw rotatably connected to the housing via a bearing. A motor is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw. Two sliders are sleeved on the lead screw for use therewith. The tops of the two sliders are both inclined and have grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, two connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frame, and each of the two connecting blocks is movably embedded with a ball, which is movably disposed in two grooves respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the outer casing, and the limiting rod passes through the two sliders and slides in contact with them.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving component is an electric telescopic rod, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the housing, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a cover is hinged to the top of the cleaning tank.

[0014] Furthermore, a drain valve is fixedly embedded at the bottom of the cleaning tank, and the drain valve is located on the front side of the outer shell.

[0015] Furthermore, support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0016] The present invention also provides a cleaning method for a sand-removing and cleaning device for asparagus fern, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0017] S1: Open the shell cover, release the spring latch lock on the washing tub, open the upper mesh plate, put the seaweed to be washed evenly into the washing tub, close the mesh plate and fasten the latch, and close the shell cover;

[0018] S2: Fill the cleaning tank with clean water until the water level is above the height of the cleaning tub / - / , so that the lower half of the cleaning tub is submerged in water;

[0019] S3: Start motor one and motor two, drive shaft one and the washing tub to rotate at a constant speed, so that the seaweed rolls continuously in the water to remove loose mud and sand from the surface. At the same time, motor one drives the lead screw to rotate, and simultaneously drives the two sliders to move synchronously towards the middle and outward along the limit rod. When the slider moves towards the middle, its top inclined surface pushes the ball and connecting block to move upward, causing the entire washing tub to rise.

[0020] S4: When the slider moves outward, the washing tub and related components descend and reset under the action of gravity. This process is repeated. While the washing tub is rotating, it also moves up and down continuously, causing the seaweed to have a strong up-and-down impact in the water, which thoroughly removes the fine mud and sand from the crevices.

[0021] S5: After washing for 5-10 minutes, turn off motor one and motor two, open the drain valve to drain the sewage. After the sewage is drained, open the shell cover and the mesh plate of the washing bucket, and take out the cleaned seaweed.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] This invention incorporates a driving component and a lifting component composed of a moving component and a driving component. In use, the driving component rotates the washing tub to achieve the tumbling and washing of the seaweed, while the lifting component moves the entire washing tub up and down repeatedly to achieve the washing effect. This dual action can thoroughly remove mud and sand from the surface and crevices of the seaweed, eliminating the need for secondary manual washing. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] See attached document Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 The present invention provides a sand removal and cleaning device for seaweed, including a cleaning box 1 and a cleaning bucket 2 disposed inside the cleaning box 1. The cleaning box 1 is a rectangular stainless steel box with an open top, used to hold cleaning water. Support legs 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of its bottom to support the entire device. A shell cover 13 is hinged to the top of the cleaning box 1. The shell cover 13 is provided with an opening handle for easy opening and closing, which can prevent water from splashing out during the cleaning process. A drain valve 14 is fixedly embedded at the bottom of the cleaning box 1 for discharging wastewater after cleaning.

[0037] The washing bucket 2 is located inside the washing tank 1 and is used to hold the asparagus fern to be washed, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the washing tub 2 is a regular hexagonal roller structure, which is composed of a stainless steel frame and six stainless steel mesh plates. One of the side mesh plates is connected to the frame by a hinge, and a spring hook lock is provided between the mesh plate and the frame. This not only prevents the mesh plate from opening accidentally when the washing tub 2 rotates, but also makes it easy to load and unload the water spinach. The mesh diameter of the mesh plate is 2-3mm, which can prevent the water spinach from leaking out, while ensuring that water and mud can pass through smoothly. The spring hook lock is an existing feature and will not be described in detail.

[0038] The cleaning tub 2 is provided with driving components on both sides to drive it to rotate inside the cleaning tank 1. The driving components include two symmetrically arranged movable blocks 15 on both sides of the cleaning tank 1. The inner side of each movable block 15 is fixedly connected with a protrusion 16. Vertical through grooves are opened on both sides of the cleaning tank 1. The two protrusions 16 are slidably arranged in the two through grooves respectively. Corrugated flexible rubber sleeves 17 are fixedly fitted on the outer side of each of the two protrusions 16. The flexible rubber sleeves 17 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 and completely cover the through grooves. The corrugated structure can freely expand and contract with the up and down movement of the protrusions 16, always maintaining a sealed state and preventing water from leaking from the through grooves.

[0039] Two guide rods 20 are slidably embedded on each of the two moving blocks 15, which are distributed front and back. The guide rods 20 are vertically fixed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. They can not only provide precise guidance for the up and down movement of the moving blocks 15, but also prevent the moving blocks 15 from falling off through the T-shaped head.

[0040] Two rotating shafts 18 are fixedly connected to the center of both sides of the cleaning tank 2. The two rotating shafts 18 horizontally pass through the corresponding protrusions 16 and moving blocks 15 respectively. One of the moving blocks 15 is fixedly connected to a motor 19 on one side. The output shaft of the motor 19 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the corresponding rotating shaft 18. The rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the protrusions 16 and the moving blocks 15 through sealed bearings. It can be understood that mechanical seals, skeleton oil seals or other equivalent sealing methods can also be used here to achieve the same anti-leakage effect.

[0041] The bottom of the cleaning tank 1 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 3. The outer shell 3 is equipped with a driving component and a lifting component that allows the cleaning tank 2 to move up and down as a whole. The lifting component includes a moving part connected to the driving component and a driving component set inside the outer shell 3.

[0042] Specifically, the moving parts include a U-shaped frame 4, which has an upward opening and wraps around the lower half of the cleaning tank 1. The two top ends of the U-shaped frame 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two moving blocks 15 respectively. Guide posts 5 are fixedly sleeved on the two side rods of the U-shaped frame 4. The two guide posts 5 are vertically inserted through the top of the outer shell 3, and the guide posts 5 are slidably connected to the top of the outer shell 3 through linear bearings to ensure that the U-shaped frame 4 can be raised and lowered smoothly.

[0043] In this embodiment, the driving component includes a horizontally arranged lead screw 6, with both ends of the lead screw 6 rotatably connected to the housing 3 via bearings. A motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 3, and the output shaft of the motor 7 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 6. Two sliders 8 are symmetrically sleeved on the lead screw 6 and threadedly engaged with it. The top of both sliders 8 is set as an inclined surface, and an arc-shaped groove is opened on the inclined surface.

[0044] Two connecting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 4. The two connecting blocks 9 are located directly above the two sliders 8. Each of the two connecting blocks 9 has a spherical groove. The ball 10 is movably embedded in the spherical groove. The lower part of the ball 10 is movably accommodated in the arc-shaped groove at the top of the slider 8. The ball 10, the spherical groove, and the arc-shaped groove are all clearance fit, which can rotate freely and effectively reduce the frictional resistance during the lifting process.

[0045] A limiting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the outer shell 3. The limiting rod 11 is set parallel to the lead screw 6, and the limiting rod 11 passes through the two sliders 8 and slides in contact with the sliders 8. It is used to limit the rotation of the sliders 8 so that they can only move along the axial direction of the lead screw 6. It should be noted that the lead screw 6 used in this embodiment is a reciprocating lead screw, and its surface is integrally machined with two sets of closed helical grooves with opposite directions and smooth connection at the beginning and end.

[0046] Specifically, when using this device, open the shell cover 13, release the spring latch lock on the washing tub 2, open the upper mesh plate, evenly place the seaweed to be washed into the washing tub 2, close the mesh plate and fasten the latch, and then close the shell cover 13.

[0047] Next, fill the cleaning tank 1 with clean water until the water level is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 above the height of the cleaning tub 2, so that the lower half of the cleaning tub 2 is submerged in water;

[0048] Then, motor 7 and motor 19 are started. Motor 19 drives shaft 18 and washing tub 2 to rotate at a constant speed, causing the seaweed to tumble continuously in the water, removing loose mud and sand from the surface. Motor 7 drives lead screw 6 to rotate. Since lead screw 6 is a reciprocating lead screw, it can simultaneously drive two sliders 8 to move synchronously towards the center and outward along limit rod 11. When slider 8 moves towards the center, its top inclined surface pushes ball 10 and connecting block 9 upward, thereby driving U-shaped frame 4, moving block 15, shaft 18 and washing tub 2 to rise as a whole. When slider 8 moves outward, under the action of gravity, washing tub 2 and related components fall back to their original position. This process is repeated. While rotating, washing tub 2 also moves up and down continuously, causing the seaweed to have a strong up-and-down impact in the water, thoroughly removing the fine mud and sand from the crevices.

[0049] After washing for 5-10 minutes, turn off motor 1 (7) and motor 2 (19), open drain valve 14 to drain the sewage. After the sewage has drained, open the shell cover 13 and the mesh plate of the washing tub 2, and take out the cleaned water spinach.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the driving component is an electric telescopic rod 12, which is vertically fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the outer shell 3, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the U-shaped frame 4. In this embodiment, the lead screw 6, motor 7, slider 8, connecting block 9, ball 10 and limiting rod 11 in Embodiment 1 are omitted.

[0052] The remaining structures of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, and will not be described again here. The working process of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, the only difference being the lifting drive method: by controlling the electric telescopic rod 12 to reciprocate its telescopic end, it directly drives the U-shaped frame 4 and the washing tank 2 to move up and down to achieve the washing effect. The structure of this embodiment is simpler, the installation and maintenance are more convenient, and it is suitable for small and medium-sized production scenarios.

[0053] Secondly, the control method of the present invention is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, the present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in the present invention.

[0054] Finally, it is readily apparent that all content not described in detail in this specification, except as described above, is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the present invention or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
