DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] Reference to an embodiment herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0023] Example 1: A cleaning and sterilizing device for navel oranges, see Figure 1-6, including a main frame 1, a collection tank 2, a cleaning tank 3, a feed port 31, a drain pipe 32, a stirring piece 4, a conical block 5, a lever 51, a blocking block 52 and a spring 53. The main frame 1 is made of a welded metal pipe body, which is used to carry and install processing parts, provide a flat table surface, and is fixedly connected to the ground. The upper part of the main frame 1 is fixedly connected with a collection tank 2 for placing washed and disinfected navel oranges. The upper part of the collection tank 2 is fixedly provided with a cleaning tank 3 for cleaning and disinfecting navel oranges. The cleaning tank 3 has the same diameter as the collection tank 2 and is in a concentric position. Before cleaning, the cleaning liquid needs to be injected into the cleaning tank 3, and the disinfectant needs to be added to the cleaning tank 3. The concentric part of the cleaning tank 3 is provided with a cleaning, mixing and stirring device for cleaning the navel oranges. The stirring member 4 is composed of a stirring motor and a stirring frame. The stirring frame extends into the cleaning tank 3 and contacts the navel oranges placed in the cleaning tank 3. Under the action of the stirring motor, the stirring frame stirs the navel oranges in the cleaning tank 3 and scrubs the navel oranges at the same time. The overall height of the cleaning tank 3 is relatively small. The purpose of such a setting is to avoid that when a deeper tank is filled with a certain amount of liquid, the navel oranges floating in the water leave a large distance from the bottom of the tank body. Under the scrubbing of the stirring member, the bottom of the navel orange is unsupported and is pressed deep into the liquid, resulting in a small contact force between the navel orange and the stirring member 4. The scrubbing force on the navel orange during cleaning is relatively small, and the surface of the navel orange cannot be effectively cleaned.
[0024] A feed inlet 31 for putting navel oranges is provided at the upper right part of the cleaning tank 3, a drain pipe 32 for discharging cleaning liquid is provided at the front side of the lower part of the cleaning tank 3, and the drain pipe 32 is in a normally closed state. When the navel oranges are cleaned, the liquid in the cleaning tank 3 is discharged by opening the drain pipe 32. A discharge port 54 is provided at the rear side of the inner bottom of the cleaning tank 3. After the navel oranges are cleaned, the liquid in the cleaning tank 3 is discharged through the drain pipe 32, and the navel oranges are pushed into the collecting tank 2 through the discharge port 54 in coordination with the rotation of the stirring member 4. A conical block 5 is rotatably provided at the lower part of the cleaning tank 3 to further compress the internal space of the cleaning tank. The navel oranges will be scrubbed by the stirring member 4 on the periphery of the conical block 5, and the contact force between the navel orange and the stirring member 4 is increased by the conical block 5. The rear part of the conical block 5 is connected with a discharge port 54 for discharging the navel oranges during cleaning. The blocked block 52 closes the discharge port 54 to prevent the liquid in the cleaning tank 3 from flowing out during cleaning. The lower part of the conical block 5 is connected to a lever 51 for rotating the conical block 5 and the block 52. The lever 51 rotates in the upper part of the collecting tank 2, and the front part of the lever 51 extends from the front side of the upper part of the collecting tank 2. When the cleaning is completed and the liquid is completely discharged, the block 52 is separated from the discharge port by toggling the lever 51, and the navel orange enters the collecting tank 2 through the discharge port 54. A spring 53 is wound around the rear part of the lever 51, and the two ends of the spring 53 are respectively connected to the lever 51 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 3. The spring 53 is used to reset the lever. When the lever is rotated, the spring 53 is in a state of force and distortion. When the lever 51 is released, the spring 53 drives the lever and the block 52 to reset.
[0025] Navel orange cleaning equipment is set up to clean and sterilize navel oranges, and by setting up a special cleaning tank structure, the navel oranges can be effectively cleaned, the cleaning efficiency can be improved, the cleaning efficiency can be significantly improved, and the time and labor costs of manual cleaning can be reduced. When processing large quantities of navel oranges, automated cleaning can greatly speed up the cleaning speed and reduce labor costs.
[0026] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , also includes a feeding chute 6 and a discharging pipe 7. A feeding chute 6 for guiding the falling of materials is fixedly connected to the inner side of the collecting tank 2. The feeding chute 6 is arranged in a threaded manner along the inner wall of the collecting tank 2 as a whole, and the overall height is higher at the back and lower at the front. The rear part of the feeding chute 6 is located below the discharge port 54. The navel oranges falling from the discharge port 54 will fall into the discharging pipe 7 fixedly connected to the lower right side of the collecting tank 2 through the spiral feeding chute 6, and the cleaned and disinfected navel oranges will be transmitted out of the cleaning station through the feeding chute 6 and the discharging pipe 7.
[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 : It also includes a sterilizing lamp 8, a fixing frame 81, a material blocking frame 82 and a spring 2 83. The upper inner side of the collecting tank 2 is surrounded by a sterilizing lamp 8. A fixing frame 81 for installing a material blocking component is provided near the blanking trough 6 at the front of the discharging pipe 7. A material blocking frame 82 for blocking the navel oranges in the blanking trough 6 is rotatably provided on the fixing frame 81. The material blocking frame 82 is located at the notch at the lower part of the blanking trough 6. The left and right sides of the fixing frame 81 are both wound with springs 2 83. The other ends of the two springs 2 83 are connected to the material blocking frame 82. The spring 2 83 is a torsion spring. The spring 2 83 requires a certain force to rotate and deform. When unloading, the navel oranges will be blocked by the material blocking frame 82 in the blanking trough 6. The navel oranges are arranged in the blanking trough 6. At this time, through The high-temperature sterilization lamp 8 can further sterilize the navel oranges and perform a certain drying process. The high-temperature sterilization lamp 8 can timely dry the cleaned navel oranges without the need for subsequent drying processes, thereby reducing processing steps and optimizing the workflow. At the same time, further sterilization processes are performed, which greatly reduces the adhesion of bacteria on the surface of the navel oranges, reduces the impact of bacteria on the navel oranges, improves the quality of the navel oranges, increases the storage time of the navel oranges, and increases the shelf life of the navel oranges. When a certain number of navel oranges accumulate in the drop chute 6, in the drop chute with a certain slope, multiple navel oranges generate a downward squeezing force that causes the spring 2 83 to be deformed by force, and the material retaining frame 82 rotates backward, and the navel oranges fall into the discharge pipe 7.
[0028] In a specific embodiment: see Figure 1, and also includes a hopper 9. A hopper 9 for centrally placing navel oranges for cleaning and waiting for materials is fixedly connected to the feed port 31 of the cleaning tank 3. A material blocking member for cutting off the path is provided between the hopper 9 and the feed port 31. When feeding is needed, the navel oranges fall from the hopper 9 into the cleaning tank 3 by pulling open the material blocking member on the hopper 9. The materials from the external feeding equipment are centrally received through the hopper 9. The hopper 9 evenly and intermittently distributes the materials to the processing area of the equipment, ensuring that the navel oranges can be continuously fed under the action of the hopper 9, completing the centralized material storage process in a short time, and improving the feeding efficiency.
[0029] In a specific embodiment: see Figure 1 , also includes a supporting frame 10, a loading part and a pushing bar 12. The supporting frame 10 is welded to the left part of the main frame 1, and a conveying line 11 for material transmission over long distances and under high load conditions is installed on the supporting frame 10. A plurality of pushing bars 12 for driving navel oranges to climb the slope are evenly spaced on the conveyor belt of the conveying line 11. The conveying line 11 is generally low on the left and high on the right. The right part of the conveying line 11 is located above the hopper 9. The material transported by the conveying line 11 will be transmitted to the hopper 9, which is connected with the feeding hopper 9 through the conveying line 11, thereby reducing manual intervention in the middle of processing, reducing the workload of workers, and ensuring the stability of feeding.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, sealing members are provided at the discharge port 54 and the lower part of the blocking block 52 to prevent leakage of the cleaning liquid. During cleaning, the liquid is prevented from flowing out of the components outside the drain pipe 32, thereby ensuring normal cleaning work.
