Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of apple processing and cleaning, in particular to an apple processing and cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Fruits refer to juicy plant fruits with a mainly sweet and sour taste that are edible. They not only contain rich nutrients but also aid digestion. There are many types of fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, etc. Among them, apples need to be cleaned during production and processing.

[0003] In existing apple processing and cleaning devices, for example, an apple processing and cleaning device disclosed in the utility model patent with the application number 202321044037.5. This utility model is provided with a transmission mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a circulation mechanism. When in use, the apples to be cleaned are poured into the left side position of the inner cavity of the apple cleaning machine main body. The driving motor, ultrasonic generator, transducer, and circulation water pump are turned on. The apples fall onto the top wall surface of the conveyor belt along the outer wall surface of the guide plate. The driving motor drives the conveyor belt to transmit towards the upper right side through the driving roller. The conveyor belt drives the apples to move towards the upper right side through the transmission baffle. At this time, the ultrasonic generator drives the transducer to vibrate the water, thereby cleaning the apples through ultrasonic technology. After the apples are cleaned, they continue to move towards the upper right side to leave the water surface for draining, and then are discharged and collected through the discharge port; the stains washed off will gradually sink to the bottom of the inner cavity of the apple cleaning machine main body through the filter through holes. The circulation water pump guides the clean water inside the apple cleaning machine main body to the right side position of the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity of the apple cleaning machine main body. The water forms a leftward moving water flow along the bottom side wall surface of the inner cavity of the apple cleaning machine main body due to its own gravity. The transmission baffle located at the bottom of the conveyor belt also moves leftward, increasing the flow rate of the water moving leftward. The stains move along with the water flow to the left edge position of the inner cavity of the apple cleaning machine main body and enter the left side position of the inner cavity of the water storage tank through the drain port. After passing through the filter screen, they enter the right side position of the inner cavity of the water storage tank for recycling. Through the above operations, the continuous cleaning function and automatic water change function of the device for cleaning apples are realized, without the need for shutdown maintenance, improving the cleaning efficiency of apples.
