[0037] See Figures 1 - 10As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a vegetable harvesting and cleaning machine, which comprises a machine shell 1. A cleaning tank 101 is arranged at the upper end of the machine shell 1. Inside the cleaning tank 101, a first roller 2, a second roller 3, a third roller 4 and a fourth roller 5 which are parallel to each other are arranged in sequence. The first roller 2, the second roller 3, the third roller 4 and the fourth roller 5 are all parallel to the horizontal plane. A first conveyor belt 6 is wound around the first roller 2 and the fourth roller 5. The first conveyor belt is densely provided with sieve holes 601. A second conveyor belt 7 is wound around the second roller 3 and the third roller 4. The second conveyor belt 7 is located inside the first conveyor belt 6 and moves in the direction opposite to that of the first conveyor belt 6. A waste material tank 8 is arranged between the first roller 2 and the second roller 3. A spraying assembly 10 for spraying water towards the first conveyor belt 6 is arranged above the first conveyor belt 6. An outlet 102 is arranged on one side of the machine shell 1 and is located below the fourth roller 5. Among them, the second roller 3 and the fourth roller 5 are driving rollers, and the first roller 2 and the third roller 4 are driven rollers. When the second roller 3 and the fourth roller 5 rotate, they drive the third roller 4 and the first roller 2 to rotate respectively.
[0038] As Figure 10 shown, during use, a conveyor 18 is used to put the sprouted vegetables to be cleaned onto the first conveyor belt 6. The first conveyor belt 6 drives the sprouted vegetables to move to the right. The spraying assembly 10 sprays high-pressure water towards the first conveyor belt 6. The high-pressure water washes off the bean husks on the sprouted vegetables. The bean husks fall from the sieve holes 601 onto the second conveyor belt 7. The second conveyor belt 7 transports the bean husks falling on it towards the waste material tank 8. Finally, the bean husks fall into the waste material tank 8. The cleaned sprouted vegetables will fall from the right end of the first conveyor belt and be discharged from the outlet 102. The water sprayed by the spraying assembly 10 also falls from the sieve holes 601 onto the second conveyor belt 7. The water converges into a larger flow of water on the second conveyor belt 7. The water flow on the second conveyor belt 7 flows towards the waste material tank 8, thereby accelerating the movement of the bean husks on the second conveyor belt 7 towards the waste material tank 8.
[0039] In the utility model, the axes of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the third roller 4 and the fourth roller 5 are coplanar. The diameter of the first roller 2 is equal to that of the fourth roller 5. The diameter of the second roller 3 is equal to that of the third roller 4. The diameter of the first roller 2 is greater than that of the second roller 3. As Figure 3 shown, a part of the first conveyor belt 6 and a part of the second conveyor belt 7 are parallel to each other, and there is a gap between them. The size of the gap is approximately equal to the seed particle size of the sprouted vegetables to facilitate the passage of the bean husks.
[0040] In the utility model, the fourth roller 5 is higher than the first roller 2. The plane where the axes of the first roller 2 and the fourth roller 5 are located forms an angle of 10 - 30 degrees with the horizontal plane. As Figure 3As shown, the right end of the first conveyor belt 6 is higher than the left end of the first conveyor belt 6, and the right end of the second conveyor belt 7 is higher than the left end of the second conveyor belt 7. By making the right end of the second conveyor belt 7 higher than the left end, the flow rate of the water flow on the second conveyor belt 7 can be increased, accelerating the movement of the bean husks towards the waste chute 8 and preventing the bean husks from accumulating in the gap between the first conveyor belt 6 and the second conveyor belt 7.
[0041] In the present utility model, the surface of the second roller 3 is provided with a plurality of circular pits 701 with a diameter of 4 - 8 mm. The pits 701 are evenly distributed on the surface of the second conveyor belt 7. The size of the pits 701 is approximately equal to the size of the diameter of the sprout seeds. After the bean husks fall on the second conveyor belt 7, a part of the bean husks will enter the pits 701, which is beneficial to improving the transportation capacity of the second conveyor belt 7.
[0042] In the present utility model, the vegetable harvesting and cleaning machine further includes a plurality of insertion pins 9, and one end of the insertion pin 9 is fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 6. See Figure 3 As shown, the insertion pin 9 is perpendicular to the first conveyor belt 6, and the length of the insertion pin 9 is about 6 cm. By providing the insertion pin 9, the position of the sprout seeds on the first conveyor belt 6 can be restricted, preventing the rapid water flow from washing away the sprout seeds. Figure 5 This is a partial view of the first conveyor belt 6 in this embodiment. Figure 5 The sieve holes 601 in [[ ]] are round holes, and the diameter of the sieve holes 601 is 4 - 8 mm. The diameter of the sieve holes 601 should not be too large to prevent the sprout seeds from falling through the sieve holes 601.
[0043] In the present utility model, the projection of the spraying assembly 10 on the horizontal plane is located between the projection of the second roller 3 on the horizontal plane and the projection of the third roller 4 on the horizontal plane. In this way, the spraying assembly 10 will be located above both the first conveyor belt 6 and the second conveyor belt 7 simultaneously. During the process of cleaning the sprout seeds, some sprout seeds 19 may be vertically inserted into the sieve holes 601 (as Figure 10 shown). At this time, the second conveyor belt 7 will support the lower ends of these sprout seeds, which can prevent the high-pressure water flow from flushing the sprout seeds into the gap 21 between the first conveyor belt 6 and the second conveyor belt 7, avoiding the blockage of the gap 21 between the first conveyor belt 6 and the second conveyor belt 7 and the waste of sprout seeds.
[0044] See Figure 2 As shown, the spraying assembly 10 includes a plurality of parallel branch pipes 1001. The branch pipes 1001 are horizontally arranged, and the length direction of the branch pipes 1001 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 6. The branch pipes 1001 are provided with a plurality of nozzles 1002 facing the first conveyor belt 6. The plurality of nozzles 1002 on each branch pipe 1001 are equally spaced along the length direction of the branch pipe 1001. In this embodiment, the number of branch pipes 1001 is three, and one end of the three branch pipes 1001 is connected to the main pipe 11, and the main pipe 11 is connected to the water pump through a pipeline.
[0045] See Figure 4 As shown, a brush strip 12 is provided in the waste material tank 8. The length direction of the brush strip 12 is parallel to the axis of the second roller 3. The brush strip 12 has bristles 1201. The bristles 1201 extend towards the second conveyor belt 7 and are in contact with the surface of the second conveyor belt 7. The bristles 1201 can clean the bean husks attached in the grooves or on the second conveyor belt 7. A slag discharge pipe 13 communicating with the waste material tank 8 is provided on the side wall of the machine shell 1. Both the bean husks and water flowing into the waste material tank 8 can flow out from the slag discharge pipe 13. In this way, it is not necessary for the staff to clean the waste material tank 8 regularly, making it more convenient to use.
[0046] As shown in Figure 1, a machine base 14 is provided on the outer wall of the machine shell 1. A motor 15 is provided on the machine base 14. The rotating shaft of the motor 15 is connected to the fourth roller 5 through a belt drive structure 16. The fourth roller 5 is driven by the motor 15 to rotate. The driving mode of the second roller 3 is the same as that of the fourth roller 5. In some embodiments, the aforementioned belt drive structure 16 can also be replaced by a gear drive structure or a chain drive structure. In the present utility model, both ends of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the third roller 4 and the fourth roller 5 can be rotatably connected to the machine shell 1 through bearing seats 20. Four support legs 17 can also be provided below the machine shell 1 to keep the machine shell 1 stable.
[0047] The vegetable harvesting and cleaning machine provided by the present utility model can be used for cleaning sprouted vegetables, realizing the automation of sprouted vegetable cleaning, being beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency of sprouted vegetables, and being very suitable for large-scale production of sprouted vegetables. When cleaning sprouted vegetables, the sprouted vegetables are not easily broken, and the cleaned bean husks fall into the gap between the first conveyor belt 6 and the second conveyor belt 7 and are taken away by the second conveyor belt 7 and the water flow, so that the separation of sprouted vegetables and bean husks can be efficiently achieved, and the residual amount of bean husks in the sprouted vegetables can be reduced.
[0048] So far, the embodiments of the present application have been described in detail. In order to avoid obscuring the concept of the present application, some details well known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.
[0049] Although some specific embodiments of the present application have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for illustration and not for limiting the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments can be modified or some technical features can be equivalently replaced without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any way.
