[0023] See Figures 1 to 6As shown, a rotary brush type cleaning machine for canned fruits and vegetables production includes a conveying device and a cleaning component. The conveying device can transport canned bottles and transport the canned bottles to the direction of the cleaning component for cleaning. The conveying device includes a support frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 is provided on the support frame 1, a protective plate 3 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 2, the protective plate 3 is located on the right side of the conveyor belt 2, and a positioning push plate 4 is also provided on the left side of the conveyor belt 2. The positioning push plate 4 is provided on the support frame 1, and a support seat 5 and a push-pull cylinder 6 are provided on the support frame 1. The push-pull cylinder 6 is also connected to an electronic component, and the extension and retraction of the push-pull cylinder 6 can be controlled by the electronic component. The support seat 5 is connected to the positioning push plate 4 through the push-pull cylinder 6, and the push-pull cylinder 6 can In order to push the positioning push plate 4 to move forward and backward, a positioning groove 7 is set on the positioning push plate 4. The positioning groove 7 is arc-shaped, and the number of positioning grooves 7 is multiple. The positioning grooves 7 are arranged at equal distances along the length direction of the positioning push plate 4. An anti-slip layer is also provided in the positioning groove 7. The anti-slip layer is made of rubber material. When the push-pull cylinder 6 is started, it can drive the positioning push plate 4 to move forward, so that the positioning push plate 4 is close to the position where the protective plate 3 is located, so that the cans on the conveyor belt 2 enter the positioning groove 7, and the cans are clamped by the positioning groove 7 and the protective plate 3, so that the cans cannot move, and the anti-slip layer in the positioning groove 7 can also prevent the cans from rotating easily, so that the cleaning component can clean them.

[0024] A laser beam sensing switch 8 is also provided on the positioning groove 7, and a counter is also provided on the laser beam sensing switch 8, and the counter is also connected to an electronic component, which is connected to the push-pull cylinder 6, the conveyor belt 2 and the cleaning component. When the laser beam sensing switch 8 is blocked by the can once, the counter is increased by one, and the trigger number set by the counter is consistent with the number of positioning grooves 7 set on the positioning push plate 4, that is, when the number of positioning grooves 7 set on the positioning push plate 4 is three, the trigger number of the counter is also set to three. When the laser beam sensing switch 8 is blocked by the can for the third time, the counter will be reset when it reaches the trigger number, and a start signal will be output to the electronic component to control the conveyor belt 2 to stop running, and control the push-pull cylinder 6 to start, so that the positioning push plate 4 approaches the protective plate 3, clamps and fixes the can, and controls the cleaning component to operate through the electronic component to clean the inside of the can.

[0025] The cleaning component is located on the right side of the conveyor belt 2, on the same side as the protective plate 3. The cleaning component includes a water tank 9, a diversion pipe 10 and a cleaning rod 11. A TPE water pipe 12 is connected to the water tank 9. The water pipe made of TPE material can prevent the diversion pipe 10 from being affected when it moves. The diversion pipe 10 is connected to the TPE water pipe 12, and a lifting cylinder 13 is provided on the diversion pipe 10. The lifting cylinder 13 is connected to the electronic component, and the rise and fall of the lifting cylinder 13 can be controlled by the electronic component. The lifting cylinder 13 is set on the positioning plate 14, and the positioning plate 14 is connected to the support frame 1. The diversion pipe 10 can be controlled to move up and down by the lifting cylinder 13. A quantitative valve 15 is provided on the water outlet of the diversion pipe 10. The quantitative valve 15 is connected to the electronic component, and the quantitative valve 15 can be controlled by the electronic component. The switch of the metering valve 15, when the metering valve 15 is opened, a fixed amount of water can pass through. A stainless steel pipe is connected to the bottom of the metering valve 15, which is movably connected to the cleaning rod 11 through the stainless steel pipe. The cleaning rod 11 can rotate. The upper end of the cleaning rod 11 is a hollow structure, which can supply water to enter the cleaning rod 11. A spray rod 16 is provided on the cleaning rod 11. The spray rod 16 is provided at the upper end of the cleaning rod 11. The cleaning rod 11 and the spray rod 16 are both made of stainless steel. The interior of the spray rod 16 is a hollow structure and is connected to the hollow part of the cleaning rod 11. A water spray hole is provided on the spray rod 16, through which water can be sprayed out. A cleaning brush 17 is provided at the lower end of the cleaning rod 11. The cleaning brush 17 is made of silicone brush. The silicone brush is not easy to breed bacteria and is easy to clean, which can improve food safety.

[0026] A meshing gear 18 is also provided on the cleaning rod 11, and the meshing gear 18 is connected to a transmission belt 19, and a servo motor 20 is connected to the transmission belt 19. The rotation of the servo motor 20 can drive the transmission belt 19 to move, so that the meshing gear 18 drives the cleaning rod 11 to rotate, so that the spray rod 16 and the cleaning brush 17 can rotate in the can to clean the inner wall of the can. The servo motor 20 is connected to the electronic components, and the operation and stop of the servo motor 20 can be controlled by the electronic components.

[0027] When in use, place the canned bottle on the conveyor belt 2, and the conveyor belt 2 operates to move the canned bottle forward. When the canned bottle moves to the laser beam sensing switch 8, the counter counts the number of times the laser beam sensing switch 8 is activated. When the accumulated number of times of the counter reaches the set value, the counter sends a signal to the electronic component, which controls the conveyor belt 2 to stop running and controls the push-pull cylinder 6 to run, so that the push-pull cylinder 6 pushes the positioning push plate 4 to place the canned bottle in the positioning groove 7, and continues to push until the canned bottle fits with the protective plate 3. The anti-slip layer in the positioning groove 7 prevents the canned bottle from rotating easily, avoiding the canned bottle from rotating when the cleaning component cleans it, affecting the cleaning effect. After the push-pull cylinder 6 is pushed, the electronic component controls the lifting cylinder 13 to start, so that the lifting cylinder 13 drives the diverter pipe 10 to move downward, so that the cleaning brush 17 and The spray rod 16 is located in the can, and at the same time, the electronic component controls the metering valve 15 to open, so that water can enter the spray rod 16 through the cleaning rod 11 and then be sprayed out from the water spray hole. At the same time, the electronic component controls the servo motor 20 to operate so that the transmission belt 19 drives the meshing gear 18 to rotate, so that the cleaning rod 11 drives the cleaning brush 17 and the spray rod 16 to rotate in the can to clean the inner wall of the can. After cleaning is completed, the electronic component controls the servo motor 20 to stop running, and then the electronic component controls the lifting cylinder 13 to drive the diverter pipe 10 to rise, and controls the push-pull cylinder 6 to drive the positioning push plate 4 to reset, and allows the conveyor belt 2 to continue running to transport the cans, and then repeat the above operation to clean the next batch of cans. The entire process only requires manual placement of the cans on the conveyor belt 2 to achieve batch automatic cleaning of the cans, saving labor costs.

[0028] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
