[0002] Freeze-drying of fruits and vegetables is a method of removing moisture from fresh fruits and vegetables through low-temperature vacuum drying, thereby obtaining freeze-dried fruits and vegetables that retain their original color, aroma, taste and nutrients; it can not only extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, but also maintain their original taste and flavor. However, before low-temperature vacuum drying of fruits and vegetables, a cleaning device is required to clean and remove dust and impurities adhering to the surface of the fruit to avoid affecting the production quality of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables.

[0003] In the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN219352982U, a cleaning mechanism for a fruit and vegetable freeze-drying production line is disclosed, which has good cleaning effect, high cleaning water utilization rate, and good promotion prospects; however, when the cleaning mechanism cleans the fruits and vegetables, the falling water is directly discharged through the water-permeable holes and cannot stay in the material trough, so it can only partially wet the surface of the fruits and vegetables, which is not convenient for immersion-type brushing of the fruits and vegetables for a long time, and the fruits and vegetables are brushed by the protruding rods when they fall between the two synchronous rollers, but the brushing time is short and the strength is weak, the brushing is not sufficient, and the cleaning effect needs to be improved. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the existing cleaning mechanism for fruit and vegetable freeze-drying production lines, and provide an intelligent cleaning device for fruit and vegetable freeze-drying production that can perform immersion cleaning and has good cleaning effect.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, further, multiple groups of cleaning components 5 are distributed in a ring shape with equal intervals around the driving shaft 4 as the center.

[0029] In this embodiment, the arrangement of multiple groups of cleaning components 5 can clean the fruits more effectively and fully.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above structure, the cleaning component 5 further includes two brackets 51, a scraper 52, a horizontal shaft 53, a cleaning brush roller 54 and a gear 55. The two brackets 51 are respectively fixed on the left and right outer walls of the driving shaft 4. The end of the bracket 51 away from the driving shaft 4 is fixedly connected with the scraper 52. The scraper 52 slides in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. A horizontal shaft 53 is installed on a bearing between the two brackets 51.

[0040] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0041] When in use, first add the fruits to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 1 through the feed box 2, and add a proper amount of clean water into the cleaning tank 1 through the water injection pipe 8, then start the motor 3 to control the drive shaft 4 to drive the multiple groups of cleaning components 5 distributed in an annular manner to rotate synchronously at a uniform speed, and because the gear 55 is meshed with the gear ring 6, the cleaning brush roller 54 can also quickly "rotate" while following the "revolution" of the drive shaft 4, so as to facilitate improving the brushing force on the fruits, and the arrangement of multiple scrapers 52 is convenient for turning the fruits at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 upwards, so that the fruits can be rolled back and forth between the multiple cleaning brush rollers 54 to achieve full and powerful scrubbing of the fruits, and the rolling fruits are also convenient for achieving the purpose of comprehensive cleaning, and the cleaning is cleaner, and the valve 77 can be manually twisted, and the cleaning sewage can be discharged from the cleaning tank 1 through the drain pipe 76 and then the valve 77 can be closed, and new clean water can be injected through the water injection pipe 8 in the same way. After multiple cleanings, the cleaning effect of the fruits can be guaranteed to avoid residues;

[0042] After cleaning is completed and the sewage is discharged, the pre-prepared collection frame can be placed directly below the cleaning tank 1, and then the left and right electric push rods 75 are started to control the mounting block 73, the connecting shaft 71, the sealing plate 72 and the L-shaped rod 74 to move downward along the vertical section of the guide groove 12 synchronously and stably, so that the sealing plate 72 leaves the discharge chute 13, and the discharge chute 13 is opened, so that the cleaned fruits fall into the collection frame, and as the electric push rod 75 continues to extend, when one end of the L-shaped rod 74 enters the inverted "V" shaped section of the guide groove 12, the L-shaped rod 74 can be squeezed and guided to drive the connecting shaft 71 and the sealing plate 72 to complete a 180° flip while moving downward. Figure 5 In the state shown in the figure, the upper arc surface can be facing downward to prevent the fruit from remaining on the arc surface, which is convenient for the complete discharge of the fruit. The operation is quick and convenient, and the device is more intelligent.

[0043] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model; any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made by technicians in this technical field based on the concept of the utility model through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the existing technology should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
