Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food production, and particularly relates to a foreign object cleaning device for food production. Background Art

[0002] Food production refers to the process of converting raw materials into products for human consumption. This process covers multiple stages, including raw material reception, storage, pre-treatment, processing (such as cooking, mixing, shaping), packaging, and quality control. In the process of food production, ensuring food safety and quality is of utmost importance. Among them, foreign object control is one of the key links in food safety management. A foreign object cleaning device for food production is a device used to detect and remove foreign substances (such as metal fragments, glass, stones, plastics, etc.) that may be mixed into food during the production process to prevent these foreign objects from ultimately reaching consumers. These devices generally include, but are not limited to, metal detectors, magnetic separators, X-ray detectors, vision inspection systems, and specifically designed physical rejection mechanisms.

[0003] The existing foreign object cleaning device for food production pushes the food containing foreign objects out of the food production line through a push plate. The size of the push plate is fixed, and the fixed-size push plate may not be able to effectively push out and process foods containing foreign objects of different sizes. Especially when the size of the food exceeds the design range of the push plate, it may cause some foods containing foreign objects to not be effectively removed and cleaned. For smaller foods, the larger push plate may not be able to accurately position and effectively push, resulting in a reduction in the efficiency of pushing out and cleaning. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of this, in view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a foreign object cleaning device for food production. The size of the push plate can be adjusted by an extension plate, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the food on the production line, more effectively adapt to the cleaning requirements of different types of foods containing foreign objects, reduce the missed inspection rate, and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows: A foreign object cleaning device for food production, including a frame plate, a foreign object detector is provided at the lower end of the frame plate, a connecting plate is provided on the front side of the frame plate, an installation plate is provided at the lower end of the connecting plate, an electric push rod is provided at the rear side of the installation plate, a rectangular plate is provided at the telescopic end of the electric push rod, four sliding columns are slidably arranged inside the rectangular plate, a push plate is arranged between the front sides of the four sliding columns, an elastic buffer assembly is arranged between the rectangular plate and the push plate, an expansion mechanism is arranged inside the push plate, the elastic buffer assembly includes four springs arranged between the rectangular plate and the push plate, and the four springs are respectively sleeved on the outer arc surfaces of the corresponding sliding columns. The expansion mechanism includes two expansion plates slidably arranged inside the push plate, rotating seats are respectively arranged on the opposite inner side surfaces of the two expansion plates, connecting frames are rotatably connected inside the two rotating seats, a rotating frame is rotatably arranged between the upper ends of the two connecting frames, a lead screw is rotatably arranged inside the push plate, the rotating frame is threadedly connected with the lead screw, an auxiliary rotation assembly is arranged at the upper end of the lead screw, and the auxiliary rotation assembly includes a knob arranged at the upper end of the lead screw.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present utility model, a control panel is provided on the front side of the frame plate, and both the electric push rod and the foreign object detector are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present utility model, mounting blocks one are respectively welded and fixed on the left and right sides at the lower end of the frame plate, a plurality of mounting holes one are respectively opened inside the two mounting blocks one, a mounting block two is welded and fixed at the lower end of the mounting plate, and a plurality of mounting holes two are respectively opened inside the corresponding mounting blocks two.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0009] First, by installing the cleaning device on the food production line, then controlling the foreign object detector to run through the control panel. When detecting the food containing foreign objects on the production line, the foreign object detector will send a signal to the control panel, and the control panel controls the opening of the electric push rod. The telescopic end drives the push plate on the rectangular plate to move forward to push the food containing foreign objects out of the production line, realizing the rapid cleaning of the food containing foreign objects.

[0010] Second, when the push plate and the expansion plates contact the food containing foreign objects, the cooperation of the springs and the sliding columns can absorb the impact force and extend the service life of the push plate and the expansion plates, improving the service life of the cleaning device.

[0011] Third, by rotating the knob, the lead screw rotates, and then the rotating frame on the lead screw moves, which can make the connecting frames inside it rotate and gather or expand, and then make the expansion plates on the two rotating seats move towards or away from each other, realizing the cleaning of the foreign objects inside foods of different sizes.

[0012] Fourthly, the cleaning device can be quickly installed on the food production line through the mounting hole one inside the mounting block one and the mounting hole two inside the mounting block two, which is convenient for personnel to install. Description of the Drawings
