[0033] Please refer to FIGS. ~5. The present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] As Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a raw material cleaning device for juice production, including a tank body 1. An external cleaning mechanism 2 is arranged in the inner cavity of the tank body 1. An internal cleaning mechanism 3 is arranged at the top of the external cleaning mechanism 2. An ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the internal cleaning mechanism 3. A circulation purification mechanism 5 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1. A support mechanism 6 is arranged on the outer side of the tank body 1. The external cleaning mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 21. A right-angle part 22 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting plate 21. A bearing 23 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the right-angle part 22. The lower end of the right-angle part 22 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing 23. An external cleaning cylinder 24 is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the bearing 23. An external brush 25 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the external cleaning cylinder 24. A large gear 26 is fixedly installed at the top of the external cleaning cylinder 24. A small gear 27 is meshed with the outer side of the large gear 26. A first motor 28 is arranged at the bottom of the small gear 27. The output end of the first motor 28 is fixedly connected to the small gear 27. The bottom of the first motor 28 is fixedly installed with a motor mounting plate 29. The motor mounting plate 29 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. The mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. The number of the mounting plates 21 is four, and the included angle between two adjacent mounting plates 21 is 90 degrees. The internal cleaning mechanism 3 includes a column 31 fixedly installed at the top of the right-angle part 22. A motor fixing ring 32 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the column 31. A second motor 33 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner side of the motor fixing ring 32. A shaft rod 34 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 33. An internal brush 35 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the shaft rod 34. The internal brush 35 is located inside the tank body 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, through the external cleaning mechanism 2, efficient physical brushing of the raw materials for fruit juice production is achieved. The four mounting plates 21 are evenly distributed around the tank body 1, which not only enhances the structural stability but also ensures that the external cleaning cylinder 24 can rotate smoothly without jitter when rotating. The combined use of the right-angle piece 22 and the bearing 23 enables the external cleaning cylinder 24 to rotate flexibly without being hindered by other components. When the first motor 28 is started, it transmits power to the external cleaning cylinder 24 through the meshing of the small gear 27 and the large gear 26, driving the external brush 25 to rotate rapidly, powerfully brushing the outer surface of the fruit raw materials, effectively removing large particulate dirt and soil on the surface, and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent cleaning steps. The second motor 33, the shaft rod 34, and the internal brush 35 are used in combination to perform targeted physical brushing on the inner side of the fruit raw materials. The combination of internal cleaning and external cleaning realizes the comprehensive cleaning of the fruit raw materials.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 4 includes an electric telescopic rod 41 fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor fixing ring 32, and an ultrasonic transducer 42 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 41.

[0039] In this embodiment, through the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 4, the cleaning effect is further improved. The flexible application of the electric telescopic rod 41 enables the ultrasonic transducer 42 to adjust the depth of penetration into the water as needed to achieve the best cleaning effect. The high-frequency vibration generated by the ultrasonic transducer 42 is transmitted to the surface of the fruit raw materials through the water medium. The cavitation effect generated when the tiny bubbles formed burst can penetrate into the tiny gaps on the fruit surface, thoroughly removing stubborn stains, microorganisms, and pesticide residues. This non-contact cleaning method not only improves the cleaning quality but also avoids possible surface damage caused by traditional brushing.

[0040] Embodiment 3

[0041] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the circulating purification mechanism 5 includes a drain pipe 51 fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 1, a manual valve 52 is arranged on the outer side of the drain pipe 51, a filter box 53 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the drain pipe 51, an activated carbon filter layer 54 and a quartz sand filter layer 55 are fixedly installed in the filter box 53 from top to bottom in sequence, a return pipe 56 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the filter box 53, a circulating pump 57 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the return pipe 56, and a guide pipe 58 is fixedly installed at the output end of the circulating pump 57, and the guide pipe 58 is located above the tank body 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, through the circulating purification mechanism 5, the recycling of the cleaning water is realized. The combination of the drain pipe 51 and the filter tank 53 enables the smoothly discharge of the sewage after cleaning and its filtration treatment. The layered design of the activated carbon filter layer 54 and the quartz sand filter layer 55 effectively removes organic matters, odors, pigments, suspended particles and minute impurities in the water, ensuring the quality of the filtered clear water. The coordinated use of the circulation pump 57, the return pipe 56 and the diversion pipe 58 pumps the filtered clear water back above the tank body 1, realizing the closed-loop circulation of the cleaning water. This design not only saves water resources but also reduces the operation cost, meeting the environmental protection concept of modern industrial production.

[0043] Embodiment 4

[0044] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the support mechanism 6 includes a fastening ring 61 fixedly installed on the outer side of the tank body 1, and a support foot rod 62 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fastening ring 61.

[0045] In this embodiment, by adding a support mechanism 6 on the outer side of the tank body 1, the fastening ring 61 is closely attached to the outer wall of the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected by bolts or other fastening means, ensuring the stable connection between the support mechanism 6 and the tank body 1. The support foot rod 62 plays a role in supporting the entire device, and anti-slip pads or casters are usually installed at its bottom, which not only increases the stability of the device but also facilitates movement and fixation. The design of the support mechanism 6 makes the entire cleaning device operate more smoothly and reliably, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0046] During specific use, as a raw material cleaning device for fruit juice production, first, the fruit raw materials to be cleaned are evenly placed into the tank body 1. Subsequently, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the tank body 1, and the height of the water should be sufficient to cover all the fruit raw materials to ensure that the fruits can be fully wetted during the cleaning process;

[0047] Start the first motor 28, and its output end drives the small gear 27 to start rotating. The small gear 27 meshes closely with the large gear 26. Through the gear transmission principle, the large gear 26 and the outer cleaning cylinder 24 fixedly connected thereto rotate accordingly. The outer brushes 25 evenly distributed on the inner wall of the outer cleaning cylinder 24 rotate rapidly with the rotation of the cylinder body, physically brushing the outer surface of the fruit raw materials. This rotational brushing method can effectively remove large particle dirt, soil and some attachments on the fruit surface, laying a foundation for subsequent in-depth cleaning;

[0048] Meanwhile, the second motor 33 starts, and its output drive shaft 34 rotates. The inner brush 35 fixedly installed on the shaft 34 then rotates inside the tank body 1, performing targeted physical scrubbing on the inner sides of the fruit raw materials, such as the concave parts of fruits like apples and pears. The combination of inner cleaning and outer cleaning achieves comprehensive coverage cleaning of the fruit raw materials, effectively improving the cleaning effect;

[0049] During the physical scrubbing, the electric telescopic rod 41 inserts the ultrasonic transducer 42 into the water. When the ultrasonic transducer 42 operates, it generates high-frequency vibrations. These vibrations are quickly transmitted to the surface of the fruit raw materials through the water medium, forming countless tiny bubbles. These bubbles burst instantly when they come into contact with the fruit surface, generating a strong cavitation effect. The cavitation effect can penetrate into the tiny gaps on the fruit surface, effectively removing stubborn stains, microorganisms, and pesticide residues, further improving the cleaning quality;

[0050] After the cleaning is completed, the sewage in the tank body 1 is discharged into the filter tank 53 through the drain pipe 51. The manual valve 52 can control the drainage speed and volume as needed. The sewage first passes through the activated carbon filter layer 54, which can effectively remove organic substances, odors, and some pigments in the water, improving the water quality. Subsequently, the sewage enters the quartz sand filter layer 55 to further remove suspended particles and tiny impurities, ensuring that the filtered clean water meets the standard for recycling;

[0051] The filtered clean water is pumped back above the tank body 1 by the circulation pump 57 through the return pipe 56 and the diversion pipe 58, realizing the recycling of water. This design not only reduces the waste of water resources but also lowers the operating cost during the cleaning process, embodying the concepts of environmental protection and energy conservation;

[0052] In summary, the raw material cleaning device for juice production achieves comprehensive, efficient, and environmentally friendly cleaning of the juice raw materials through the comprehensive application of multiple mechanisms such as outer cleaning, inner cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, and water circulation purification, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processes such as pressing and filtering, thereby effectively improving the initial quality and overall efficiency of juice production.

[0053] The above are only specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the technical features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent replacements, or modifications made based on the present utility model to solve substantially the same technical problems and achieve substantially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
