DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are given in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thoroughly and comprehensively understood.

[0021] It should be noted that when a device is considered to be "connected" to another device, it may be directly connected to the other device or there may be an intermediate device at the same time. The terms "inside", "top", "upper", "lower", "upper", "lower" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation method.

The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, a cherry tomato pre-cleaning system 10 includes: a cleaning device 100, a filtering device 200 and a circulation device 300, the cleaning device 100 includes a cylinder 110 and at least four soft brushes 120, the bottom of the cylinder 110 is configured to be funnel-shaped, the soft brush 120 is rotatably connected in the cylinder 110, and the soft brush 120 can rotate to one side; the filtering device 200 is arranged at the discharge port of the cylinder 110, and the filtering device 200 is used to separate water and cherry tomatoes; the water inlet of the circulation device 300 is connected to the water outlet of the filtering device 200, and the water outlet of the circulation device 300 is connected to the water inlet of the cylinder 110. For example, a forward and reverse motor is arranged at the outside corresponding to the soft brush 120, and the rotating end of the forward and reverse motor extends into the cylinder 110 and is fixedly connected to the soft brush 120. The contact between the rotating end of the forward and reverse motor and the cylinder 110 is sealed, and water is injected into the cylinder 110, and cherry tomatoes are put into the cylinder 110. The forward and reverse motors are turned on to make the soft brush 120 make the water flow along the direction of rotation of the soft brush 120, and the cherry tomatoes flow out from the water outlet of the cylinder 110 along with the water flow, and the water and the cherry tomatoes are separated by the filtering device 200, and the water flows into the circulation device 300, and then circulates into the cleaning device 100. The soft brush 120 rotates the water flow to make the cherry tomatoes roll along the direction of the water flow for cleaning, thereby realizing the pre-cleaning of the cherry tomatoes, reducing the time of manual cleaning, improving the work efficiency, and making the cleaning more thorough. At the same time, the circulation device 300 is adopted to recycle water resources, thereby reducing the consumption of water resources.

[0024] Specifically, the soft brushes 120 are arranged in two rows, and the rotation directions of the adjacent soft brushes 120 are opposite. For example, the four soft brushes 120 are arranged in two rows, two in each row, and the forward and reverse motors drive the two soft brushes 120 in the upper row in opposite directions, and both rotate in a direction away from the central axis of the cylinder 110. Similarly, the forward and reverse motors drive the two soft brushes 120 in the lower row in opposite directions, and both rotate in a direction close to the central axis of the cylinder 110, so that the rotation directions of the two adjacent soft brushes 120 are opposite. When the soft brushes 120 are turned on, the water flows in an S shape, thereby increasing the cleaning time of the cherry tomatoes and improving the thoroughness of the cleaning.

[0025] In one embodiment, the filtering device 200 includes a filter plate 210, the feed port of the filter plate 210 is connected to the discharge port of the cylinder 110, and a plurality of water-permeable holes are provided on the filter plate 210, and the filter plate 210 is used to separate cherry tomatoes. For example, the filter plate 210 is provided at the discharge port of the cylinder 110, and when the cherry tomatoes and water flow out of the water outlet of the cylinder 110 at the same time, the water flows out from the water-permeable holes of the filter plate 210, and the cherry tomatoes remain above the filter plate 210, thereby reducing the time for manual scooping, thereby improving work efficiency, and making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0026] Furthermore, the filter plate 210 forms an angle of 10° to 60° with the horizontal plane. For example, the angle between the filter plate 210 and the horizontal plane is 30°, and the feed port of the filter plate 210 is connected to the discharge port of the cylinder 110, and the feed port of the filter plate 210 is higher than the discharge port of the filter plate 210, and the cherry tomatoes roll downward by their own weight, thereby making the operation simple and convenient, and improving work efficiency.

[0027] Furthermore, the filtering device 200 further includes a sedimentation tank 220, which is disposed below the filter plate 210 and is used to collect the separated water. For example, the length of the sedimentation tank 220 is not less than the projected length of the filter plate 210. After the water enters the sedimentation tank 220, the clean water floats and the sediment sinks, thereby achieving water cleaning. The circulation device 300 circulates the clean water into the cylinder 110 again, making the circulating water cleaner, thereby making the cherry tomatoes cleaned more thoroughly.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, in order to facilitate cleaning, a cleaning device 400 is further included, the feed port of the cleaning device 400 is connected to the discharge port of the filter device 200, and the cleaning device 400 is used to remove impurities. For example, the cleaning device 400 is provided at the discharge port of the filter plate 210, and when the cherry tomatoes roll to the cleaning device 400, they roll along the cleaning device 400 to separate the cherry tomatoes from the impurities, thereby reducing the time of manual picking and improving work efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the impurity removal device 400 includes an impurity removal plate 410 with a plurality of air holes and a blower 420 disposed at the lower portion of the impurity removal plate 410, and the blower 420 blows air toward the impurity removal plate 410 to blow away impurities mixed in the cherry tomatoes. For example, the impurity removal plate 410 is disposed at an angle, and the blowers 420 are disposed in two rows and blow air vertically upward. When the cherry tomatoes roll along the direction of the inclination angle of the impurity removal plate 410, the blowers 420 blow air to blow out leaves, plant roots, tomato stems, etc. mixed in the cherry tomatoes, thereby improving work efficiency and making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0030] Specifically, the impurity removal plate 410 is horizontally arranged, and the impurity removal plate 410 can slide to one side along a predetermined track. For example, the impurity removal plate 410 is horizontally arranged, and a driving wheel and a driven wheel are arranged at both ends of the impurity removal plate 410, and the driving wheel is connected to a motor, and the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, so that the impurity removal plate 410 rotates accordingly, and the cherry tomatoes roll off the filter plate 210 and enter the impurity removal plate 410, and the impurity removal plate 410 moves, driving the cherry tomatoes to move, thereby increasing the impurity removal time and improving the work efficiency. At the same time, the rolling length of the cherry tomatoes is reduced, and the rolling speed is reduced, thereby protecting the appearance and shape of the cherry tomatoes and reducing the loss of the cherry tomatoes.

[0031] Specifically, the air outlet of the blower 420 is tilted away from the direction of the central axis of the impurity removal plate 410. For example, the blower 420 is tilted, and the blower 420 blows air from the central axis of the impurity removal plate 410 to both sides of the impurity removal plate 410, blowing the impurities on the impurity removal plate 410 from the middle to both sides, so that the impurities are directly blown out of the impurity removal plate 410, avoiding the phenomenon of impurity accumulation, thereby making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0032] The above-described embodiments only express the way of equipment layout of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application; it should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several adjustments and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which all belong to the scope of protection of the present application; therefore, the scope of protection of the patent of this application shall be based on the attached claims.
