Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bubbling cleaning, and in particular to a bubbling cleaning, blanching and lifting machine for vegetables or fruits. Background Art

[0002] After picking vegetables or fruits (such as apples, tomatoes, cantaloupes, etc.), it is often necessary to clean the dust and stains on their surfaces to facilitate the packaging and sale of the fruits and vegetables. Blanching of fruits and vegetables is a fruit and vegetable processing technology that involves placing fresh vegetables or fruits in hot water or hot steam for a short period of time. Blanching can inactivate active enzymes, prevent enzyme browning, soften or improve tissue structure, stabilize or improve color, remove some spicy and other unpleasant flavors, and reduce the number of pollutants and microorganisms in fruits and vegetables. Blanching can also make the color of fruits and vegetables brighter and the taste crisper, and is an indispensable part of the fruit and vegetable drying, freeze-drying and other processing processes.

[0003] Most of the existing rinsing methods are to directly place the fruits and vegetables into a sink, stir the fruits and vegetables in the sink, and then take the fruits and vegetables out of the sink after washing, which is a cumbersome process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to facilitate the cleaning and blanching of vegetables or fruits during the transportation process, the present application provides a bubbling cleaning and blanching elevator for vegetables or fruits.

[0005] The present application provides a bubbling cleaning, blanching and lifting machine for vegetables or fruits, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a proper amount of water is injected into the cleaning pool. After the fruits and vegetables enter the cleaning pool, the conveyor belt is started. The fruits and vegetables are continuously pushed forward along with the conveyor belt under the influence of the scraper. At the same time, the blower is started. The bubbles coming out of the air pipe burst when they come into contact with the conveyor belt to generate energy, which has an impact and scrubbing effect on the surface of the washed fruits and vegetables. During this transportation process, the fruits and vegetables are thawed, blanched and cleaned, which improves work efficiency, effectively kills harmful bacteria, and decomposes residual pesticides.

[0008] Optionally, a heating pipeline is provided in the cleaning tank.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, steam is introduced into the heating pipeline to heat the water temperature in the cleaning pool to a required temperature, thereby improving the cleaning effect on fruits and vegetables.

[0010] Optionally, two movable screws parallel to each other are arranged in the length direction of the cleaning tank, and cleaning plates are penetrated on the two movable screws, and bristles are arranged on the side of the cleaning plate close to the inner wall of the cleaning tank.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the fruits and vegetables are washed and blanched, the inner wall of the cleaning pool is easy to adhere to the residues after washing, and the two movable screws are rotated, and the cleaning plate moves along the length direction of the movable screws, which facilitates the cleaning of the inner wall of the cleaning pool.

[0012] Optionally, a cleaning bottom plate is provided at one end of the two cleaning plates close to the bottom of the cleaning tank, and the lower end surface of the cleaning bottom plate abuts against the bottom surface of the cleaning tank.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the two cleaning plates move, the cleaning bottom plate is driven to move, so as to clean the residues adhered to the bottom of the cleaning pool.

[0014] Optionally, the two movable screws are coaxially fixedly connected with a connecting sprocket, and the two connecting sprockets are connected by a connecting chain.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, one of the movable screws is rotated, and the other movable screw is driven to rotate through the connecting sprocket and the connecting chain, so that the two movable screws rotate synchronously.

[0016] Optionally, the horizontal frame is provided with a heat preservation plate located above the cleaning box.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the insulation board reduces the heat loss of water in the cleaning pool and reduces energy waste.

[0018] Optionally, the horizontal frame is provided with a protective mesh plate located below the insulation plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the insulation board is protected and supported by the protective mesh plate.

[0020] Optionally, a plurality of supporting legs are provided at the bottom of the horizontal frame and the sloped frame.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the supporting legs support the bottom of the horizontal rack and the sloped rack, avoiding direct friction contact between the horizontal rack and the sloped rack and the ground, and protecting the bottom surfaces of the horizontal rack and the sloped rack and the ground.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the cleaning pool. After the fruits and vegetables enter the cleaning pool, start the conveyor belt. The fruits and vegetables are continuously pushed forward by the conveyor belt under the influence of the scraper. At the same time, start the blower. The bubbles coming out of the air pipe burst when they come into contact with the conveyor belt to generate energy, which has an impact and scrubbing effect on the surface of the washed fruits and vegetables. During this transportation process, the fruits and vegetables are thawed, blanched and cleaned, which improves work efficiency, effectively kills harmful bacteria, and decomposes residual pesticides;

[0024] 2. After the fruits and vegetables are washed and blanched, the inner wall of the cleaning pool is prone to adhere to the residues left after washing. By rotating the two movable screws, the cleaning plate moves along the length direction of the movable screws, which facilitates the cleaning of the inner wall of the cleaning pool.

After the fruits and vegetables enter the cleaning tank 3, the conveyor belt 11 is started, and the fruits and vegetables are continuously pushed forward along with the conveyor belt 11 under the influence of the scraper 12. At the same time, the blower 311 is started, and the bubbles coming out of the air pipe 31 burst when they come into contact with the conveyor belt 11 to generate energy, which has an impact and scrubbing effect on the surface of the washed fruits and vegetables. During this transportation process, the fruits and vegetables are thawed, blanched and cleaned, which improves the work efficiency, effectively kills harmful bacteria, and decomposes residual pesticides.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 In a humid environment for washing and blanching fruits and vegetables, if the horizontal rack 1 and the slope rack 2 have a large area in contact with the ground, it is easy to mold and affect the working environment. The bottom of the horizontal rack 1 and the slope rack 2 are provided with a plurality of supporting legs 13. The supporting legs 13 support the bottom of the horizontal rack 1 and the slope rack 2 to prevent the horizontal rack 1 and the slope rack 2 from directly contacting the ground with friction, and protect the bottom surface of the horizontal rack 1 and the slope rack 2 and the ground.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two parallel movable screws 4 are installed in the washing pool 3 along the length direction. The two movable screws 4 are rotatably connected to the washing pool 3. A cleaning plate 5 is penetrated on the two movable screws 4. A brush 51 is installed on the cleaning plate 5 close to the inner wall of the washing pool 3. The brush 51 abuts against the inner wall of the washing pool 3. After the fruits and vegetables are washed and blanched, the inner wall of the washing pool 3 is easy to adhere to the residues after washing.
